You reformated your windows xp (ntfs) partition so now it's ntfs but it's blank. Is that right? [00:46] i looked at my software sources and it had [00:46] Greetings. While trying to load Ubuntu setup from a cd, the screen flashes with a grainy red color. The motherboard on this machine is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe, w/ a GeForce Ti200 video card. Could this be a hardware compatability issue? [00:46] ddrj: is your computer 64bit? [00:46] i formatted the XP partition and now it's EXT4 formatted. [00:46] sebsebseb: nawp [00:46] belal1, And now you want to take all that space and give it to Ubuntu? [00:47] yes [00:47] ddrj: your computer is 32bit? 32bit proccesser in there yes?

Make it unallocated space. Then you can "grow" your current ext4 partition with Ubuntu on it. Does that make sense? [00:47] where can i paste my terminal output [00:48] to here?

[00:48] haux: yes you can re ask, every like 15 minutes or so [00:49] haux: as long as it has been a fair amount of time since the last ask. 5 mins or so [00:49] belal1, Yeah that's the only cache. You can only edit a partition if you haven't mounted it. You have to use a live CD of some kind. [00:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/450356/ [00:49] belal1, The ubuntu one will work but so will several others if you don't have an ubuntu one [00:49] i see, thanks.

[00:50] belal1, No problem! FYI you could mount that partition in /mnt/someFolder and then just sort of use it as extra space but that's not good because it messes up the proper file structure of linux and you are wasting space by having 2 partitions [00:50] chalk: cheese can configure web cams [00:50] why isn't there a torent for the netbook edition or am i missing it? [00:50] could my sources messed up or something? why did it show them under other sources? [00:51] can only run google chrome from terminal [00:51] belal1, the webcam works on cheese [00:51] edbian, It also "feels" weird having another partition. [00:51] frmdstryr: your sources are probably ok [00:51] how do you scan your entire system using clamav? [00:51] belal1, Ha ha. Yes it does. [00:51] frmdstryr: you can have a look in system > adminsitaration > software sources [00:51] frmdstryr: plus see what download server your using [00:51] frmdstryr: run an update first. sudo apt-get update [00:51] My network suddenly boots up too slowly after last week's update. [00:51] kaflowski: uhmm why do you want to? [00:51] !virus | kaflowski [00:51] kaflowski: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:51] ubuntu_mad: right click on the icon, in the combobox select application instead of application with terminal [00:52] sebsebseb: I am yet another exception to this myth that you can't get a virus or trojan on Linux [00:52] Neo_123456: tell me this stuff in the channel [00:52] Bodsda: ok i'll try [00:52] Neo_123456: plus this way hopefuly other people can help :) [00:52] kaflowski: theres a myth that you cant get infections on linux? [00:52] ok [00:52] Hey, want the system to stop asking me to enter a password whenever I start Evolution (keyring access) or try to change CPU frequency. How do I do that, or what do I Google for? Also, in the same area: how to allow a regular user to use `nice`? [00:52] when the ubuntu gui is loading,my graphics card cannot use, I think this problem is about the graphics drivers, because once loading GUI, monitor loses signal [00:53] Zoffix, that eliminates the purpose of passwords.... [00:53] kaflowski: what makes you think that? [00:53] but anyways, i know someone else that wants that done so if you find out let me know haha [00:54] frmdstryr, no it doesn't. I don't want root access on this user to avoid oopsies like deleting root dir; but I don't want it to nag me about everything like Vista :) [00:54] sebsebseb: because i have gotten a trojan from a linux hacker and it was identified by clamav [00:54] anyone know why the kernel loading screen with the glowing ubuntu logo was taken out of lucid [00:54] ? [00:54] Euthanatos: http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/pub/releases/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso.torrent [00:54] kaflowski: you can get a virus, but it is extreamlly rare. you would have to know what you are doing to get it installed, or have someone malicious do it for you. Unlike Windows you can't just get them off the Internet either. [00:54] kaflowski: I very much doubt it [00:55] cferbs, because it was considered ugly [00:55] okay sorry then, let me know if you find out how please :) [00:55] kaflowski: from a Linux cracker? [00:55] sebsebseb: not entirely true. Any application can be an infection, even debs in the repo's [00:55] CHANNEL IN SPANISH PLEASE [00:55] ??? [00:55] kaflowski: a black hat?

[00:56] kaflowski: get out you troll!!!! it was prob a windows virus cause thats what clamav scans for [00:57] rottenrec: what do you mean show? [00:57] kaflowski, What did you do to let a hacker in to your system? === Rzv_ is now known as Rzv [00:57] frmdstryr: like, for it to tell me where php is installed [00:57] can someone help me with google chrome? [00:57] kaflowski: use better passwords [00:57] you mean the core function? [00:57] ubuntu_mad: yes what's the problem? [00:57] ok, so the webcam works with cheese, but not with empathy. [00:58] kaflowski: Only way to be sure its gone. Clean installing the OS. Anti virus is quite useless really. since the virus may have done what it was programmed to do, before it gets removed. [00:58] kaflowski: also Linux anti virus, only or tends to only scan for Windows viruses, which don't infect Linux distros. [00:58] kaflowski, Please, I'm very interested in linux security. I would very much like to know how you got a virus on your system. [00:58] frmdstryr: on my dreamhost shell, if i type "which php", it prints out "/usr/local/bin/php" [00:58] frmdstryr: installed it but now its not in my accesories panel [00:58] edbian: lets take it to pm [00:58] but on my ubuntu server, it doesn't print anything, even though i have php5 installed [00:59] kaflowski: I am interested as well [00:59] sebsebseb: thank you very much [00:59] linux isn't invulnerable to malware. every time you use sudo apt-get install or anytime you type in your admin password you could be installing a rootkit without knowing it [00:59] thats because it's not an application [00:59] frmdstryr: can only launch from terminal [00:59] oo-oohh... So.. what the heck do I do now: zoffix@ZofMain:~$ sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440 Segmentation fault [00:59] edbian: maybe the three of us should go to a tempory channel?

[00:59] Bobsda: doesn't that come with a regular php5 install? [00:59] ubuntu_mad: then what do you want to do? [00:59] sebsebseb, kaflowski how about ##security ? [00:59] make an icon? [00:59] cferbs: please don't insult people. [00:59] edbian: uhmm thats a real channel isn't it? [01:00] sebsebseb, kaflowski yeah, that's a real channel, ##security2 [01:00] frmdstryr: plus how do i stop empaty from skipping up so fast as its next to impossible to read [01:00] sebsebseb: you compiled irc server?

[01:00] While trying to load Ubuntu setup from a cd, the screen flashes with a grainy red color. The motherboard on this machine is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe, w/ a GeForce Ti200 video card.

Never mind my last inquiry. I had to `su` to root first [01:01] but i just want to setup a quick launch [01:01] frmdstryr: use the /msg function of IRC [01:02] yep got it, via help :p [01:02] frmdstryr: ask permission before pm'ing people though [01:02] how? [01:02] frmdstryr: can I pm you? [01:02] haha fair enough [01:02] ubuntu_mad: can i pm you? [01:02] frmdstryr, well, my solution was to crack open /etc/sudoers and uncomment the line that makes so sudoers don't have to enter password. That works idealy for me :) And from Google I gather that if you are to want more fine-tune control, you'd still have to mess around with /etc/sudoers so there :) [01:03] frmdstryr: sure can [01:03] frmdstryr: but if it's regular support, it's better to stay on the main channel and use the nicks to tag the messages (like this one does) [01:03] yeah it goes fast though... [01:03] Zoffix: that is insane. apt-url would then be able to install anything without asking! I suggest you comment that line back out [01:03] uh, i have my webcam plugged in put empathy doesn't read it, can help please? [01:04] so im trying to do a USB install and when I;m going through the installer, after keyboard origin selection I get an error saying it cant mount the CD-ROM. [01:04] Anyone know what I can do to correct this? [01:04] Bodsda, hmmmmm... good point. [01:04] While trying to load Ubuntu setup from a cd, the screen flashes with a grainy red color, then the screen goes black. The motherboard on this machine is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe, w/ a GeForce Ti200 video card. Could this be a hardware compatability issue? [01:05] haux: try using onboard vga, then try using the 'alternate' installer. It is probably just a driver type issue [01:05] Bodsda: how do I use onboard vga during a reboot? [01:05] Is this option in the bios? [01:05] Does recordmydesktop run better on 10.04 then 9.10? [01:06] haux: ... no, just use the motherboard graphics for your monitor instead of your graphics card [01:06] Zoffix, what are you trying to do? [01:06] Camaro_09: define 'better' [01:06] Better quailty [01:06] Camaro_09: unless a new version has been released, it will all depend on your graphics drivers [01:06] sjm, three things: as a regular user (1) when I change CPU frequency I don't wanna enter the password (2) I don't want Evolution to ask for a password so it would access the keyring (3) I want to run `nice` as a regular user :) [01:07] Ok, thankyou [01:07] frmdstryr: [01:08] how do i run a program to speak to me? [01:08] Zoffix: can't you already run nice as a regular user? [01:08] O [01:08] sjm, "nice: cannot set niceness: Permission denied" [01:09] I need help getting the Ubuntu installer to realize its being installed from a USb stick and not a CD [01:09] Zoffix, negative nice? [01:09] Yes, -20 [01:09] I'm trying to get my windows key to act like I pressed Ctrl-Shift-P, I am able to create a custom shortcut in the Keyboard Shortcuts application, but I need help for what to put into the Command field to get it to act as if I hit Ctrl-Shift-P [01:09] It tells me it cannot mount the CD ROM [01:09] Zoffix: last I used it you could nice something "nicer" just not the other way. [01:09] Zoffix, well, only the superuser can set a negative nice. [01:10] unop, well, that's... dumb. Oh well :) [01:10] im new to ubuntu and i am trying to install a programs thats speaks to me [01:10] can anyone help [01:10] decay33: how? :) [01:10] Zoffix, it's not dumb -- having a process play not-nice can lead to sever system instability -- this here what you are seeing is actually a good (not dumb) safeguard. [01:10] Zoffix: you could edit /etc/security/limits.conf to change nice limits. I have a line "ubuntu - nice -19" [01:10] Can someone help me get a HP DeskJet 1120C working on 10.04? [01:11] Zoffix: a regular user can set something to a lower priority with nice (positive nice), only the superuser and make something not as friendly (negative nice) [01:11] unop, well, if there's no way to let a regular user renice the process however they want - that's dumb; if there is then it's fine. [01:11] Anyone know how to tell the Keyboard Shortcuts app to behave as if certain keys were pressed, rather than as if I typed in a command? [01:11] * Zoffix looks at limits.conf [01:11] hey guys how do you remove gnome mouse cursor themes? [01:12] looking to completly disable ubuntu's translation system; using kde (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/594854 ) [01:12] Zoffix, well, you're dealing with a lot of dumbness in the GNU/Linux world then - might as well learn to deal with it.

[01:16] i have problem with my gui,because when i try to enter the gui,the monitor lose signal [01:17] thune3, err, not empty, but everything was commented out >_< [01:17] There's a mapping program I'm playing with that switches views when you hit ctrl-shift-p, I've been doing this a lot and it would be nice to be able to accomplish this with one button press. [01:17] hello, on my several ubuntu boxes (different hardware) I am having trouble with user switching. Every couple of switches end up in a black screen which is like an X freeze. Has anybody kept track of this bug? Would you let me know what bug number it has?

[01:20] furthermore, why am I able to see everything that I've "deleted", but the Trash bin still does nothing [01:20] Typos_King: So if the app doesn't have keybinding options within it, I'm out of luck? [01:21] Typos_King: app = mapping program [01:21] Phun5tar, just do like most of us and when you're sure you're ready to permanently delete something just "rm" it in terminal. It irrevocably deletes the information from the filesystem. [01:21] Mortuis: yes, more or less I'd think [01:21] Zoffix: something has to be done to get it to take effect, checking.... [01:21] LJRuff: no it doesnt. It de-references that space. It 'is' reversable [01:21] LJRuff, I understand; however, why can't I have a Trash bin that works? [01:22] Typos_King: nuts, ohwell.

[01:24] i would like to know a program that speaks to me [01:24] psusi, perhaps a website or search criteria I can use in google to help me learn? =D [01:24] LJRuff: when a file is deleted, it is actually just allowed to be overwritten. The data still exists. Disaster recovery software can read the inodes and retrieve the files [01:24] Oh, ok. [01:24] I kinda tried to check permissions, what options should I give chmod? [01:24] What do you guys think o Ubuntu 10.4? I'm wondering if I should upgrade from 9.10 [01:24] Bodsda, I'd lay off the technicality, though [01:24] decay33 like orca? [01:24] LJRuff, photorec is one such program... but it is very unreliable at best [01:24] Is is possible to transcode mkv to mp4 to stream to an iPhone with ubuntu and apache? [01:24] Thanks, psusi [01:25] im new to ubuntu and i dont know any program like that [01:25] Phun5tar: why would I lay off the technical bits in a technical support channel? [01:25] Incarnation, I like 10.04. I do not regret upgrading. [01:25] Bodsda is right. I like to hear the technical stuff. Makes me feel more worthy of my glasses. [01:25] =P [01:25] Bodsda: I say that because "technically" nothing is "deleted" [01:25] In terms of performance, is it better to make a fresh install with 10.4 or to upgrade from 9.10?

[01:58] #ubuntu+1 for maverick support [01:58] decay33 if so, it most likely won't run from your term like you expect [01:59] its like chatbot is what i was told [01:59] hi, I am having problems with ubuntu 10.04 in my toshiba notebook. It doesn't boot after upgrade && dist-upgrade [01:59] decay33 you wan't to use that in conjuntion with your irc client then. I can't help ya there [01:59] HTT-Bird: 2.6.35-3.4 to be specific [01:59] Can anyone look at this and tell me if its something to do with my graphics? http://img.imgland.net/127644794581.png Its a game called Tibia i play and they have a Linux client. [01:59] right. :) [02:00] i want a program that speaks to you [02:00] what'd happen if I booted that kernel with an old userland? [02:00] HTT-Bird: should boot [02:00] hello all [02:00] HTT-Bird: ask in #ubuntu+1 to make sure [02:00] (existing kernel on this box is 2.6.28, need HWmon support that's only available in 2.6.34 or later tho) [02:00] Pulga: You might have installed held back kernel updates. Try to hold shift and esc at the beginning of the boot and select an older version of the kernel to boot from. [02:01] decay33 festival [02:01] I deleted my /var/lib/dpkg completely; is there anything I can do? [02:01] how or where do i get that? [02:01] hehe [02:01] I am using numpad for mouse control. Sometimes the 5 clicks with a left-click, sometimes right-click, sometimes middle-click. I can't figure out what controls this. Anyone here know? I want to change it to left-click and right now it is stuck on middle click. [02:01] decay33: I thought that was answered already, about 1hr ago [02:01] decay33 apt-get install festival [02:01] ok [02:02] Can anyone help me with my problem? [02:02] Bradleyd: don't ask to ask, just ask [02:02] No takers on the /var/lib/dpkg problem? [02:02] can someone look at this and tell me if its something to do with my graphics? http://img.imgland.net/127644794581.png Its a game called Tibia i play and they have a Linux client [02:02] pavpanchekha did you try dpkg-reconfigure? no idea if that would work or not, but worth a shot [02:03] AAA: it wants a package name [02:03] Bradleyd: well it's the gpu, graphics exceeding your machine specs or a software glitch. Run other graphic intensive apps/games. If you see it again, suspect the card or your specs [02:03] pavpanchekha: dpkg [02:03] AAA where do i find the program now after apt get [02:03] AAA: I've got some broken packages as a result of deletion but it refuses to reconfigure those [02:03] prince_jammys: yes? [02:04] pavpanchekha: try that as the package name [02:04] Bradleyd: If anyone knows the answer or solution to your problem they will most likely provide you with an answer or solution. Meanwhile you could try to search on Google with the line you got from lspci. [02:04] pavpanchekha dpkg [02:04] prince_jammys: oh, see, "dpkg is not installed" [02:04] Getting 4.0mb/s consistent on 100mbps lan with nfs server on 10.04 any ideas? [02:04] prince_jammys & AAA: because status and available and friends are gone [02:04] acerimmer_: I had it running using wine so i can use the Windows Client but when I try to open that now it says Video Surface something error [02:05] prince_jammys AAA: shall I manually add them? [02:05] Bradleyd: maybe ask here instead: http://forum.tibia.com/forum/?action=board&boardid=13 [02:05] X-Sleepy-X: i had tried booting from older version but it stops when xorg starts [02:05] Pulga: Have you tried using the recovery mode? [02:05] no [02:06] pavpanchekha is dpkg-*-.deb here? /var/cache/apt/archives/ [02:06] AAA i installed festival where do i find it? [02:06] pavpanchekha you still have the binary, right? [02:06] Pulga: Perhaps you can do something from there. I'm not sure what though... :) [02:06] Bradleyd: ah. i must have missed that part. anyway, as u know, wine doesn't always fly perfect... [02:06] AAA: yeah [02:06] decay33 probably /usr/bin/ [02:06] ok [02:06] decay33 man festival [02:06] is it possible to highlight certain words on the gnome-terminal? [02:06] AAA: it's there; but dpkg doesn't work, so i can't quite install it [02:06] iam still trying [02:06] decay33 there are tons of docs. it isn't a launch, click and use app [02:07] pavpanchekha dpkg -i /var/cache/blah/dpkg.deb doesn't work? [02:07] any suggestions about ubuntu 10.04 in toshiba's noteboks? [02:07] . [02:07] AAA: wait, lemme check [02:07] pavpanchekha: You're going to have to reinstall, unless it's realllllly important to you. [02:07] acerimmer: It says Video surface allocation failed. (Error Code 13) Please choose another video graphics mode. and then it goes off when i press Ok [02:07] !who | Pulga [02:07] Pulga: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:08] You could potentially recreate status by looking at what files are installed, but that would take forever. [02:08] pavpanchekha you could possibly rsync those dir's from another ubuntu box === sara_ is now known as switchgirl [02:08] AAA: That won't do any good.

[02:09] AAA: after I told it to force-depends [02:09] AAA: not before that [02:09] wgrant yeah, didn't think [02:09] Bradleyd acerimmer_ The tibia linux executable works for me in 10.04 Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML [02:09] It says something about opengl [02:09] Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL. [02:09] AAA i dont know whih files they are [02:10] decay33 neither do I. you can find out by typing dpkg -L festival [02:10] pavpanchekha: You are in for a world of pain unless you reinstall. [02:10] It only takes a few minutes. [02:10] pavpanchekha after dpkg -i dpkg.deb can your dpkg-reconfigure dpkg now? are those files there? [02:10] wgrant it is an interesting problem to solve tho [02:11] The only way you're going to get into a reasonable situation is by working out exactly which set of packages is installed at which versions, then installing them all again. [02:11] AAA: hey, that worked to get some files back [02:11] It's doable with a bit of work. [02:11] wgrant: well, I can tell you it's a completely vanilla 10.04 [02:11] But pointless when you can just easily reinstall preserving /home. [02:11] wgrant /var/cache/apt/archives should have a decent snapshot [02:11] wgrant: and reinstall is an issue of convenience really [02:11] wgrant: so really I ought to, but it'd be nice if I could fix it [02:11] pavpanchekha: It's a lot more convenient than reconstructing dpkg's state mnanually. [02:12] How was it deleted in the first place? [02:12] wgrant: yes, yes, perhaps I should have said impatience [02:12] wgrant: problem exists between keyboard and user or something along those lines, isn't it? [02:12] Keyboard and Chair, but yes. [02:12] wgrant: stupidity by your truly [02:12] What does this mean? Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL. [02:12] I need to get OpenGL? [02:13] nick nexo:nn9coi [02:13] wgrant: I was thinking that it being a completely fresh-out-of box 10.04 might make it a bit easier to work out exact versions [02:13] pavpanchekha: Insane idea: Boot a live image, grab whatever files you need and cp them onto the mounted ubuntu partition [02:13] pavpanchekha if it were I, I'd try to install everything /var/cache/apt/archives/ for fun. then reinstall. I'm just curious how broken that would make your system ;) [02:14] AAA: heh [02:14] AAA: a guinea pig, huh? [02:14] AAA: If it's a reasonably fresh install, /var/cache/apt/archives will only contain a few packages, and not the base system. [02:14] pavpanchekha your only choice is reinstall at this point, so wha't to loose? [02:14] So they'll probably fail to install :/ [02:14] AAA: so, if that a serious suggestion? sure! [02:14] AAA: completely (completely) fresh install [02:14] base-files_5.0.0ubuntu20_i386.deb is on my fresh install [02:15] anyone know where i can find the changelog for the new kernel [02:15] pavpanchekha my suggestion is to dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb and see what happens [02:15] AAA: base-files wants awk, awk is not there [02:15] :( [02:16] pavpanchekha I think awk is in a general package [02:16] AAA: alright, it's -i'ing everything [02:16] AAA: and I just keep re-running that until dependancies work themselves out? [02:17] AAA: hmm, google should tell me which one [02:17] It's gawk. [02:17] wgrant: ah, thanks [02:17] Bradleyd: do a search of your filesystem for open gl - almost certain you'll find it. and really, ask the #winehq folks about this bcz they probably know more than us [02:18] pavpanchekha you could try --force [02:18] pavpanchekha since the files are really there, it should be fine [02:18] wgrant: and that wants libc6; I'm at the g's, so I'll get there [02:18] pavpanchekha and your next step is reinstall, so no big wooop [02:18] AAA: and yeah, I should have; is it safe to kill dpkg while it's unpacking? [02:18] no idea for: how to force modprobe to load a specific driver although vendor/productid does not fit? [02:18] pavpanchekha hehe, your dpkg is so hosed anyhow... ;) [02:19] rabby: modprobe -f [02:19] AAA: oh, sure, sure, still, no reason to hose it on purpose [02:19] pavpanchekha patients is tough, huh? [02:19] rabby: What device is it? [02:19] AAA: god knows I've done that enough [02:19] pavpanchekha I'd say let it go and see what you can learn from it [02:19] AAA: patience is; and, yeah, well, friday is far away [02:19] pavpanchekha: dpkg puts a bunch of stuff in there over time but /var/lib/dpkg/info only has four empty directories at install updates/ parts/ info/ alternatives/ [02:19] AAA: hahahaha, it's not a difficult lesson to learn [02:19] soreau: modprobe sisusbvga works, but it doesn't seem to run on the right device... [02:19] */var/lib/dpkg/ [02:20] thune3: google has educated me as I looked for a way to fix it [02:20] i know the product+vendorid, but don't know how to tell it modprobe..? [02:20] rabby: You cant use a kernel module that doesn't specifically support your device [02:20] thune3: still would have to recover status and available [02:20] /connect irc.irc-hispano.org [02:20] rabby: You can load the module but it just wont work [02:20] soreau: it does, but it has not all productids+vendors inside... [02:21] Getting 4.0mb/s consistent on 100mbps lan with nfs server on 10.04 any ideas? [02:21] Hello how can i do this? Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[02:21] Bradleyd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:21] there is a patch for recompiling the module after adding this vendorid, but for testing i'd like to force modprobe... [02:21] AAA: well, now I can at least get a good idea of the depth of the dpkg tree [02:21] Bradleyd: What gives you this output? [02:21] AAA: depending how many times I have to rerun dpkg -i * [02:21] when i open a game called tibia using ./Tibia engine 0 [02:22] try open* [02:22] Bradleyd: What does 'lspci|grep VGA && glxinfo|grep renderer' say?

[02:23] pavpanchekha :) are the /var/lib/dpkg folders/files being repopulated? [02:24] soreau: the modprobe modname works without -f, too, but it does not understand which physical device it belongs to. [02:24] AAA: yeah! status is slowly growing new entries [02:24] rabby: If this is the case that the module is designed such that it only operates with valid product/vender IDs, then you should use the patch [02:24] pavpanchekha: what instructions are you using? i'm curious. [02:24] how can i change what monitor is the main one? I mean, the one with the menu bars [02:24] trying to get wacom bamboo tablet to work on Ubuntu 10.04. anyone had much success? [02:25] thune3: AAA's: run dpkg -i *.deb in the apt archives dir [02:25] thune3: as many times as necessary [02:25] * soreau laffs [02:25] thune3: to rebuild status [02:25] soreau: so there is no way to do it - just for testing - before recompiling all the patch? [02:25] Hello :) [02:25] !hi [02:25] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:25] rabby: Apparently not. [02:26] atx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom [02:26] rabby in the past I've used --vendor 555:0302 or whatever to load modules. it just depens on how that driver is written. if you can find the source your can probably find the command line arg [02:26] Good idea AAA [02:26] pavpanchekha: i apt-get clean often, i have one .deb in there! [02:26] rabby: Try modinfo $MODULE to see the options available for said module [02:27] thune3: heh, so you'd be hosed if you were as dumb as me! [02:27] soreau: :-( it will take for hours to get the X devels which are required to compile this driver. i will go on searching for modprobe tricks. [02:27] read that already [02:27] thune3: well, this was a completely fresh install [02:27] pavpanchekha I think your system will still be b0rk when you're done, fyi :) [02:27] thune3: grub troubles + rm-happyness = bad [02:27] rabby: Use modinfo to see the options available to the module you're working with [02:27] Right now, I am a very confused newb about this ... I have 2 VIA Raid cards in my system (VT6410) running Ubuntu 10.04. Disk Utility DOES see them using the pata_via driver but the hard drives attached to them aren't showing up. How do I set the cards up so that the drives are seen? I really don't want an actual RAID, I just want the JBOD setting. All the drives are ATA drives (not SATA) with new cables if that helps. I have [02:27] the ad.4, ataraid.4, and ar.4 files. Where do I put these files? I've tried basically everything I can think of to get these things to work including switching around jumpers, running some RAID discovery tools all to no avail. I need some serious hand holding at this point please or at least pointed to a really good tutorial that I can follow. [02:27] AAA: eh, yeah, t'was fun while it lasted, no? [02:28] sdgs [02:28] pavpanchekha: What about my crazy idea? [02:28] Sorry for the wall of text but I'm kinda desperate to get this to work :? [02:28] sfgs [02:28] shdg [02:28] hgfh [02:28] :/ [02:28] ylmfos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:28] hi there, my first time come here [02:28] fgdhdfh [02:28] anybody here knows how to change main screen on a dual monitor setup (laptop) [02:28] soreau: hey, hey, one crazy idea at a time! [02:28] pavpanchekha and it may still be workable. but my guess is you have several versions of the same pkg and your forcing it to install both/all of them. that is my main concern [02:28] soreau: you'll all get a chance [02:28] pavpanchekha: Well, aren't you finished failing? [02:28] soreau: modinfo returns a lot and also knows the 0x0711 already: http://nopaste.info/ecf1742905.html [02:28] pavpanchekha of course, you could have grep those out in the beginning, but hindsight is 20/20, hehe [02:28] has anyone else had a problem where nautilus doesn't obey the Gtk+ theme? (It looks like it's not using any theme and using the default Gtk+ renderer) [02:28] soreau: because... fresh install comes witha lot of packages [02:29] AAA: well, again, completely fresh isntall; so maybe it won't die horribly [02:29] AAA: if apt gets working, can I just start re-installing all my packages to update properly? [02:29] rabby: I think there is a reason for the patch and you should use it unless it's really old and already made it's way into the kernel [02:30] pavpanchekha: Sounds like you want ubuntu [02:30] pavpanchekha I would apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade [02:30] pavpanchekha: I mean debian ;) [02:30] pavpanchekha: heh, or Gentoo [02:30] soreau: the patch is really only rewriting the compatibility list. no other changes at all. [02:30] soreau: or Gentoo [02:30] hours of waste of time :/ [02:30] AAA: makes sense [02:30] pavpanchekha: Talking to yourself: Time to take a break and/or go to sleep ;) [02:31] rabby hours? how big is that thing? and are you on a p100 or something? [02:31] soreau: heh, yes [02:31] bizarre... I don't know why that is, but removing the old gconf for nautilus fixed it... anyone know if it was a specific key that was causing problems? [02:31] soreau: or did I just make myself a (BROADCAST-STREAM) to you? [02:31] AAA: ever compiled X modules on your own? [02:31] rabby: Takes seconds to compile a kernel module usually [02:32] rabby not for a long time thank god [02:33] I recently build mplayer in less than an hour [02:33] s/build/built [02:33] AAA: you now, you've gotta give me props for managing to fuck up a system _before_ it was booted [02:33] * AAA claps [02:33] pavpanchekha, language ... [02:33] AAA: bucuo. congratuls [02:34] unop: sorry [02:34] unop: is "**** up a system" valid? [02:35] pavpanchekha, obfuscated swearing is still swearing .. just keep it clean [02:35] pavpanchekha so do tell. how on earth did you manage to rid yourself of those directories in the first place? *ahem* [02:35] Getting 4.0mb/s consistent on 100mbps lan with nfs server on 10.04 any ideas? [02:35] AAA: let's be charitable and say that grub errors get me into a blind rage [02:35] hey guys.... I'm having a weird problem where I am able to connect to my wireless network using Ubuntu 10.04. I can connect via WEP key and my internet is working fine, but the icon for my network manager applet still shows a red exclamation point like it isn't connected even though it is.... [02:35] AAA: aaaaand... Blind Rage + Knowledge of CHRoot = BAD BAD BAD [02:36] basically not being able to see wireless signal strength === RuKia|AueI is now known as Hiti-su [02:36] i need to convert an mp4 to an mp3 on 10.04 i have installed lame [02:36] when i add a second monitor I cant view a flv file [02:36] pavpanchekha hehe, reminds me of a non-friendly, frienly looking short shell script :-) [02:36] sapersi: doesn't vlc do conversions? [02:36] HotTuna, are you sure you're connecting at 100Mbps? and that it hasn't fallen back to 10Mbps? [02:36] AAA: the one that begins with :{:;:};: ? [02:37] unop, mii-tool confirms 100basetxFD on both machines [02:37] pavpanchekha the one I won't paste, yes [02:37] anyone have a solution for the second monitor in a dual monitor setup having shitty color/contrast issues in twinview? [02:37] anybody experience the problem I'm having or have any ideas on a fix? === Hiti-su is now known as __RuKia__ [02:37] the nvidia binary driver has some options but none for individual monitor tweaking [02:37] AAA: right, right. Not quite so dumb, just... rageful [02:37] AAA: we're still being charitable, right? [02:37] pavpanchekha, how do other protocols work? ssh, samba, etc? [02:37] freapwar I've notice network-manager being buggy in 10.4 myself. I've reverted to just using iwconfig in those situations [02:38] err, pavpanchekha - sorry, that was for HotTuna [02:38] unop: oh, everything works --- ssh, ftp [02:38] freapwar there is a bug somewhere, I'm sure of it. I'm just too lazy to find it [02:38] unop: ah, ok, I was confused [02:38] HotTuna, how do other protocols fare? ssh, samba, etc? [02:38] unop, like crap too [02:38] acerimmer_: is that available through the synaptics package manager? [02:38] HotTuna, any better? [02:38] unop, no worse [02:39] HotTuna and you said you are for sure connected at 100? [02:39] unop, its not like this on 9.10 either [02:39] AAA, yes want me to paste my mii-tool output? [02:39] HotTuna no need [02:39] not in chan of course.. [02:39] any help? [02:39] HotTuna pastebin, sure [02:39] please? [02:39] it says connected at 100basetx-fd so thats what im going on [02:39] HotTuna also, any custion iptables stuff? [02:40] custion?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:42] Um...All I have is a command-line interface; the GUI went away. I apt-get installed ubuntu-desktop. How do I get from the CLI to the GUI? [02:42] ok, accidently deleted my usb drive's partition table (winxp setup), how can I restore it? [02:43] Is there a reliable DVD-R DL image burner for ubuntu ?

[02:44] HotTuna, how's the load, memory and disk usage on the machines? [02:44] Dr_Willis: no screens found. [02:44] Hi [02:44] Quick question: Does anyone know of a way to print out media library information? Like a track listing and such? [02:44] unop, well the server has nothing.. no gui nothing else running. and this is just my desktop with nothing running when I test [02:44] East_Coast_Girl: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2010/3/29/31264/thread [02:44] stercor: your X is some how missconfitgured then thats proberly teh core of the whole problem. [02:44] has anyone else had problems with the ubuntu iso stalling when trying to download it? [02:45] unop, on 9.10 I got good speeds [02:45] Which is the best program or method for creating custom Ubuntu live CD's? [02:45] anyone using ubuntu on the dell mini 10 in this channel? [02:45] !best|x-sleepy-x [02:45] x-sleepy-x: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:45] Dr_Willis: But it worked...then it didn't work. I did an 'autoremove' and that may have done it to it. [02:45] My GUI is buggy, what should i do? [02:46] X-Sleepy-X: i prefer k3b and burn the CD at the slowest possible speed [02:46] Dr_Willis: heh...now the family won't get on... [02:46] shawnj: What is bugging you exactly? [02:46] X-Sleepy-X: Theres a neat site called 'reconstructor' that lets you remaster them online and download the new image. It also has tools you can download to do it locally. I had a few issues with it a month ago when i last tried it.. but it did work decently well. [02:46] has anyone else had problems with the ubuntu iso stalling when trying to download it? [02:46] Dr_Willis: Thanks! [02:47] ClayG: you could alwyas use the torrents [02:47] Hi All... I'm trying to port a package from Hardy which we maintain internally that applies firewall rules... I was wondering how I might set it up so it starts after bonding is applies (it currently applies all firewall rules against eth0, but then the interface gets converted to bond0) [02:47] that is what im doing [02:47] has anybody install ubuntu on the Zino HD? [02:47] Anyone see my question? [02:47] unop, any ideas? [02:47] Quick question: Does anyone know of a way to print out media library information? Like a track listing and such? [02:47] So basically i need to ensure this firewall package doesn't get run until bond0 comes up (or is re-run when bond0 comes up) [02:47] is it possible to change the color/contrast of individual monitors? [02:47] weird [02:47] @soreau im using the Netbook edition 10.04 [02:47] AAA: well, it force-installed everything [02:47] AAA: so... [02:47] but yeah im using tghe torrent and the speed keeps dropping to 0, i have to pause then restart to get it to go again [02:48] is it possible to change the color/contrast of individual monitors? [02:48] AAA: apt-get upgrading as we speak [02:48] utkanos: with my nvidia cards and the nvidia-settings tool.. yes its possible. Ive done it. Not sure about others [02:48] i got like half an hour left if i stay here and dont miss any times it goes to 0 lol [02:48] has anybody install ubuntu on the Zino HD? [02:48] is there Hybrid CrossfireX support on ubuntu 10.04? [02:48] Dr_Willis, in the nvidia-settings binary I can only change it globally [02:48] pavpanchekha and all seems 'normal' ? [02:48] in the xserver-xorg-video-ati packae? [02:48] AAA: well... it's just download crap right now [02:48] HotTuna, was trying to see if there's anything in the forums about this. [02:48] I heard there is support for it in the fglx driver but i'm wondering baout the open source driver? [02:49] utkanos: im pretty sure i was able to change it for my 2 dvi monitors.. but i cant double check right now. [02:49] shawnj: No need to pm me. You still haven't described what part of the gui is bugging you [02:49] ok.. thanks, it only lets me change one [02:49] can anyone help! [02:49] i can change digital vibrance [02:49] utkanos: you are using twinview? Its possible it was vibrance i changed.. i dident need to tweak much on it. [02:49] unop, well, I think they jacked up 10.04 my wifi is very slow now also [02:49] anyone knows how to change the alt+f2 to look like gnome-shell [02:49] my laptop brightness keys are not working, the laptop stays at a fixed brightness [02:49] Dr_Willis, yes, using twinview. [02:50] work time for me. bye all [02:50] nor can I change brightness in power management [02:50] HotTuna, do you have any other machines you can test the network with? i.e. to rule out problems on either of these machines [02:50] unop, yea I get better speeds on my windows 7 laptop with samba [02:50] Hello. Can someone simply tell me what the terminal command is for running KlamAV on the entire file system as a superuser? [02:50] AAA: mm, seems to work... [02:51] HotTuna, with both the machines? [02:51] pavpanchekha after the upgrade, try to install something small like nmap or vim or something and see what happens [02:51] anyone knows how to change the alt+f2 to look like gnome-shell [02:51] soreau the menubar at the top of my screen keeps disappearing [02:51] unop, my problem is this machine with ubuntu 10.04 is slow as heck for some reason on the network and idk why [02:51] AAA: right [02:52] HotTuna, my suspicion would be the network driver then -- can you post the output of ''dmesg'' to the !pastebin ? [02:52] HotTuna if you are familiar with tcpdump/wireshark you could look at the packets [02:52] im not losing packets either I lookd with nfsstat -a [02:52] idk what happened in 10.04 [02:52] shawnj: If you can still do alt+F2 to bring up a dialog, that typically means some window manager is running. The likeliest case I can think of is that you're using compiz and your decorator is crashing. Can you still move windows with Alt+Drag when the borders disappear? [02:52] yea ill paste dmesg one minute [02:53] mlmg317-himts: man KlamAV will list controls for KlamAV [02:53] HotTuna, well, ideally you want to graph the network performance - to see if it's a steady ~4mbps or fluctuates wildly. [02:53] anyone knows how to change the alt+f2 to look like gnome-shell [02:53] mlmg317-himts: hey orbit remember me [02:53] hey orbit remember me im the jailbreaker [02:53] HotTuna you can also try something like iptraf to help debug [02:53] unop, when I copy a file from the nfs server its a steady 4.0mbps [02:54] nop i think i wasn't me [02:54] HotTuna, how do you benchmark this? [02:54] gbillings: ??? What are you talking about? [02:54] unop, copy files? [02:54] anyone knows how to change the alt+f2 to look like gnome-shell [02:54] unop, http://pastebin.com/34TfEKpk [02:54] HotTuna, that might not be giving you the complete picture of the bitrates though [02:55] unop, but it used to be 10.0mbps atleast! usually 16.0mbps or so [02:55] mlmg317-himts: if you type "man KlamAV" in a terminal it will tell you the basic controls of the program; soooo if you need to know how to do a certain task you would just read the manuall page [02:55] gbillings do u know how to change the alt+f2 to look like gnome-shell [02:55] HotTuna, ok, let me have a look at dmesg .. let's see if there's anything here [02:56] gbillings: K. What did you mean by "hey orbit, remember me - I'm the jailbreaker?" [02:56] q [02:56] mlmg3170himts [02:56] quoted wrong person [02:56] sorry [02:57] HotTuna, seems you have a gigabit port too. The cable's not plugged in there is it? [02:57] i do? [02:57] this is a laptop only one NIC [02:57] HotTuna is this over an stun by chance? I see the tun driver is loaded [02:57] is bazaar completely integrated with nautilus? [02:57] orbit: I think the only way to do that is to use gnome-shell. [02:58] will I see which files are up2date recursively? [02:58] AAA, idk what stun is [02:58] HotTuna secure tunnel, and I think that dmesg entries means 0 [02:58] AAA, im not running anything called stun by accident [02:58] I mean [02:59] on purpose sorry lol. [02:59] HotTuna, let's see the output of. sudo lshw -C network [02:59] k. [02:59] HotTuna, nice nick :) [02:59] ty [02:59] fresh install of ubuntu on my dell precision m4400 :) [02:59] installing updates [03:00] unop, http://pastebin.com/HkrbRffh [03:00] AAA: hey, update worked [03:00] HotTuna look at line 736 [03:01] AAA, ok? [03:01] HotTuna seems like your device keeps 'comming up' and the was suppress 12 more times [03:01] has anybody installed ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Zino HD? [03:01] uh [03:01] AAA: yep, your idea worked. I should say THANK YOU but that's also a pretty awesoem solution [03:01] HotTuna not sure if that means much, but I wanted to point it out [03:01] I might have done that playing around [03:01] with stuff [03:01] pavpanchekha w00t. congrats [03:02] is it possible to a ppp and a wireless card at the same time? [03:02] HotTuna, hmm, also "r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded" - when all you have is a 100Mbps port [03:02] connect ^ [03:02] unop, ok, ubuntu loaded that driver do I need to switch? [03:02] HotTuna, wait, let's see. lsmod | grep -i -e r8 -e rtl -e eth [03:03] unop, http://pastebin.com/kEpnMniz [03:04] HotTuna you can also try loading the r8169 with debug:3 [03:04] how? [03:04] ifdown eth0; rmmod r8169; modprobe r8169 debug:3 [03:04] k brb then. === shawnj_ is now known as shawnj [03:05] HotTuna 16 is max debug [03:05] After upgrading to Lucid I noticed that the sorting in Rhythmbox got messed up. I have it set to sort in alphabetical order based off the album name, however for some reason two albums are at the top that shouldn't be there. [03:06] soreau Sorry my laptop crashed because i tried to drag the windows with ALT-Drag [03:06] shawnj, soundss like a windows problem ;) [03:07] AAA, [ 3834.485883] r8169: Unknown parameter `debug:3' [03:07] * [gnubie] waves [03:07] blue_fox alt-drag works on windows windows? [03:07] shawnj: yuk [03:07] AAA, i was making a funny [03:07] AAA: vim installed, user happy [03:07] AAA, cant modprobe with the debug:3 part. [03:07] <[gnubie]> anyone cares to check out my post at http://is.gd/cQmoF [03:07] AAA: success! [03:07] <[gnubie]> ? [03:07] HotTuna that is what modinfo r8169 said [03:07] blue_fox sorta, well the top menubar disappears every so often. [03:08] HotTuna, what happens when you do this? sudo modprobe r8 # i.e. press tab twice after r8 [03:08] is ubuntu just a big virus???? [03:08] Hey all, I have been using Ubuntu for a while, but I tried to set up a A2DP bluetooth headset recently, and it worked great, except that the audio skips every couple seconds. My /var/log/messages has a bunch of "pulseaudio[1515]: module-bluetooth-device.c: Skipping 184564 us (= 32556 bytes) in audio stream" messages. Any idea what's wrong? [03:08] HotTuna modinfo says there is a way; maybe use insmod instead (must give full path) [03:08] !ot | sexy-cat, [03:08] sexy-cat,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:08] unop, hold let me paste [03:08] Plasmastar wow, really? awesome!!!! [03:08] unop, AAA http://pastebin.com/7yysRPEx [03:08] I found this link (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/405294) but there's no real clear conclusion. [03:08] Plasmastar wrong user, sorry [03:09] shawnj, do you have the latest drivers [03:09] pavpanchekha w000, it really worked. awesome! [03:09] AAA: yeah... pretty... amazing [03:09] AAA: thank you! [03:09] brb [03:09] pavpanchekha thank you for your guinea pigishness ;) [03:09] * [gnubie] hoped someone can help solve the problem posted at http://is.gd/cQmoF [03:09] AAA: :) [03:09] AAA: they've gotta come from somewhere; what better than nothing to lose? [03:09] pavpanchekha: It's fixed after you kept rerunning dpkg? [03:10] soreau: yep [03:10] nice [03:10] soreau: that seems to have regenerated the status file [03:10] blue-fox yes, but i think it has something to do with metacity, the windows manager, because when i "ALT-F2" then "metacity --replace", the menubar appears for a little while, then it goes away again [03:10] so your not awnsering my question cuz ubuntu linux make windowz has virus [03:10] HotTuna did you insmod it with the debug? check dmesg [03:10] AAA, sorry what command did you want me to do? [03:10] pavpanchekha I still have a feeling something is creep up on you... [03:11] sexy-cat: Your question isn't very coherent. Please do not troll. [03:11] AAA: [looks around] nope, no knife murderers [03:11] Evolution email has suddenly stopped sending and receiving mail. Account configuration is correct. Send/Receive is grayed out. Anyone have a clue why? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and have tried removal and reinstallation but to no avail. [03:11] HotTuna insmod --debug:8 /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko [03:11] AAA: as you might have guessed, my systems don't survive virgin for long anyway [03:11] blue_fox yes, but i think it has something to do with metacity, the windows manager, because when i "ALT-F2" then "metacity --replace", the menubar appears for a little while, then it goes away again. [03:11] pavpanchekha: Can you do apt-get update|upgrade|dist-upgrade ok? [03:11] I'm trying to watch a movie on my laptop under Lucid, and the video and audio are artifacting horribly, to the point where it's impossible to see the movie playing. Anyone know of a fix? [03:11] soreau: yep. Just did that, installed vim [03:11] HotTuna the --debug may need to come after the file, and you may not need the -- [03:11] AAA, says it cant read --debug-8 no such file [03:12] HotTuna --debug:8 or debug:8 [03:12] pavpanchekha: try VLC [03:12] shawnj, ya i dont use much of the gui [03:12] ubuntitude: Are your appropriate audio and video drivers installed? [03:12] HotTuna not sure of the syntax :( [03:12] Hello! :-) I need help with JACK. The website says to mount the /dev/shm dir, but I get an error that says "unknown file system type 'shm'" [03:12] I've got two questions. The first one is: How do I setup my ubuntu experience so that konversation starts up and connects to FreeNode the moment I first boot up and login to the desktop? And my second question is: How do I search for an aptitude package name? I want to install google chrome, but I'm more interested in the actual process of finding out the name without logging into IRC and asking than even the installation itsel [03:12] OO [03:12] AAA: why vlc in particular? [03:12] AAA, ok, it says file exists now, for both [03:12] aj5555: why vlc in particular? [03:12] AAA: sorry, wrong user [03:13] HotTuna did it load the driver? dmesg | tail -n 20 [03:13] thelastnode: yeah, i have all the drivers. I've watched plenty of stuff before, but when i attempt to watch a movie proper (straight from a DVD) it glitches [03:13] UltraParadigm: /dev/shm should be mounted as a ramdisk, which I think Ubuntu does automatically [03:13] okay i haz tryed usering the windows installer cuz i am going ta be learning linux soon but ubuntu didnt inxstallz xand window now say has viruses. why?? [03:13] <[gnubie]> Neurotiquette: for the second question: apt-cache search [03:13] ubuntitude: what player? did you try VLC? [03:13] Evolution email has suddenly stopped sending and receiving mail. Account configuration is correct. Send/Receive is grayed out. Anyone have a clue why? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and have tried removal and reinstallation of evolution email client but to no avail. [03:13] AAA, yea the gigabit driver again [03:13] HotTuna the idea here is to load your questionable driver so it floods dmesg with debug info. you _may_ want to find a 100M driver [03:14] blue_fox so you don't really have any suggestions? the laptop im using is like the entertainment laptop, so i need the gui. [03:14] thelastnode: no, haven't tried VLC yet. One sec. [03:14] HotTuna runs some copy tests. I'd try to wget or ftp some files as well [03:14] pavpanchekha: well it has 90% off codecs as needed [03:14] HotTuna, I would go for a more specific driver for you hardware -- http://www.realtek.com/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false , instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1054480 [03:14] s/you/your/ [03:14] thelastnode: How can I check if it's being mounted as a ramdisk? [03:14] aj5555: eh, I'll go for mplayer once chrome&dropbox are done [03:14] unop, AAA ok will do Ill let you know if I have a problem [03:14] aj5555: if that's not a problem [03:15] UltraParadigm: in a terminal, type "mount", see if /dev/shm is one of the lines [03:15] HotTuna I would also run $ tail -f /var/log/syslog as you copy/test [03:15] thelastnode: no it's not listed in fstab [03:15] aj5555: (I don't know, is mention of dropbox not allowed on this channel? :P) [03:15] ubuntitude: if you're using the built in movie player, I've had issues as well. VLC tends to work better. [03:15] AAA, im doing what you said then the new driver [03:16] UltraParadigm: even if it's not in fstab, it should be listed if you try the "mount" command [03:16] thelastnode: ok [03:16] thelastnode: yeah, that's what i was using. I'll try VLC [03:16] HotTuna I think that is a good idea. You can modinfo to find the debug options for it as well (if needed) [03:16] UltraParadigm: mine is listed as tmpfs [03:16] Evolution email has suddenly stopped sending and receiving mail. Account configuration is correct. Send/Receive is grayed out. Anyone have a clue why? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and have tried removal and reinstallation of evolution email client but to no avail. [03:16] AAA, wait [03:16] AAA, its fixed my friend [03:16] AAA, im now getting 26.0mbps [03:16] HotTuna what the huh? [03:17] HotTuna just by rmmod and insmod? [03:17] pavpanchekha: I thought it might be a codec problem htaaz alll [03:17] AAA, yea some how... [03:17] aj5555: wha? wrong user, I think [03:17] AAA, what do you want me to run to confirm? [03:17] aj5555: or, no [03:17] AAA, but I just copied an .iso file at 25mbps on my nfs server [03:17] HotTuna smells of an 'order problem' maybe it gets loaded before a depency or some such nonsense? not sure [03:17] AAA, how do I make a permanent fix? [03:17] My window manager, metacity, is faulty, can anyone help? [03:17] Don9307: probably a configuration somewhere in your /home folder. deleting/installing the app wouldn't effect this. [03:18] !broken | shawnj [03:18] thelastnode: Thanks! yes it says "none on /dev/shm type tmpfs" [03:18] shawnj: Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm [03:18] UltraParadigm: yep, that means /dev/shm is mounted as a ramdisk. [03:18] acerimmer: What do you recommend I try? Thanks. [03:18] HotTuna several ways. my first choice would be in /etc/network/interfaces. call a script that unloads the modules and reloads it before it brings the device up [03:18] Don9307: wait one. [03:18] AAA, I use wicd however [03:18] How do I turn off confirmation when accepting a VNC viewer on the server? [03:18] hi guys, quick question i hope you can answer for me. I just moved from redhat to ubuntu & installed apache2. When I disconnect eth0 apache is no longer available on 127.0.0.1 [03:18] pavpanchekha: crossed wires perhaps! [03:19] can anybody help me? [03:19] <[gnubie]> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-June/221205.html [03:19] thelastnode: Thanks. I thought that maybe it wasn't mounted because I keep getting messages fromapplications that the JACK server isn't running. I'm trying to find out why [03:19] alan___: we can try. what's your question? [03:19] !anyone | alan___ [03:19] alan___: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:19] AAA, do I just need to sudo rmmod r8169 and then sudo insmod r8169 ? [03:19] aj5555: wrong user; I'm the one with the dpkg issues [03:19] ok, so I go to school and i loved ubuntu [03:19] so i decided to install it in my pc [03:19] UltraParadigm: no problem [03:19] HotTuna I'm not familiar with that. you could also put it in your rc.local, but that might be too early in the process [03:19] i know nothing about it and my wifi is now not working after installing ubuntu 10.04 [03:20] how is the syntax you must use with aptitude to know if some package is installed ? [03:20] Don9307: enable hidden folders in /home. look for .evolution. delete and then reconfigure your evolution settings. NOTE: this should wipe out your calendar, contacts and all evolution data. proceed with caution [03:20] AAA, sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko debug:8 [03:20] is the insmod command [03:20] HotTuna I _think_ that is a temporary fix. I would do a few test runs and see [03:20] pavpanchekha: yeah dpkg np:) [03:20] alan___: is the wifi icon showing up in the tray bar? [03:20] alan___: Try rebooting a couple times. My wifi never works right after installation. It seems to work after rebooting a few times for some reason [03:20] HotTuna you should need the debug [03:20] After upgrading to Lucid I noticed that the sorting in Rhythmbox got messed up. I have it set to sort in alphabetical order based off the album name, however for some reason two albums are at the top that shouldn't be there. [03:20] aj5555: k [03:20] HotTuna should NOT, sorry [03:20] HotTuna, you should file a bug too -- because this behaviour classifies as one. [03:20] acerimmer: I'll give that a try. Thanks. [03:20] i shows a red line as if no driver was installed [03:20] unop, my wifi is broken too [03:21] low signal strength bad speeds [03:21] i am sorry, an exclamation point [03:21] HotTuna, heh, try reloading that module too? :) [03:21] HotTuna try the same fix for wifi too [03:21] unop :) [03:21] wait [03:21] alan___: a lot of times after installation, my wifi was turned off. Try right clicking it and enabling everything [03:21] alan___: are you using a laptop or desktop? [03:21] whats the module name for broadcom sta driver [03:21] desktop [03:21] you think rebooting a couple of times will work? [03:21] Can I reinstall Ubuntu 10.04 but still keep everything I have on my drive? [03:21] HotTuna lsmod and figure it out :) [03:22] alan___: see /topic, don't use new lines for punctuation. A red exclamation could mean that you're not connected; try clicking on it and see if you can find your wifi network. [03:22] shawnj: is your /home on a separate partition? [03:22] thelastnode: VLC is buggy too. [03:22] alan___: That seems to work for my laptop. I would give it a try. [03:22] ubuntitude: buggy how? [03:22] thelastnode: artifacting, same as movie player [03:22] h00k no its on the main one with everything else [03:23] shawnj: you can move your /home over [03:23] !separatehome | shawnj [03:23] shawnj: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [03:23] hey guys, on a random basis my boot fails because the disk uuid isn't registered in /dev/. can someone help me diagnose why this happens? [03:23] HotTuna you can also $ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless to help you find it [03:23] HotTuna, you'd see it in the output of. sudo lshw -C network [03:24] ubuntitude: so it plays, but there are artifacts? have you tried a different DVD? [03:24] i click on it but no network shows, as if the wireless card was not installed [03:24] h00k but what about all of the things that are installed to the root directoriy? [03:24] h00k like /usr/bin [03:24] AAA, yea its back to 4.0mbps now [03:24] shawnj: you're not going to want to leave those there when you reinstall, that's not really a good idea [03:24] alan___: try System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and see if you need to enable it. If it's already enabled try disabling (and rebooting if required) and reenabling. [03:24] shawnj: most likely whatever is broken can be fixed without reinstalling [03:24] Don9307: my wild guess is that the evolution-data-server stopped running. check ps aux | grep evolution [03:25] h00k so how would i do this? [03:25] it gives me an error, it says it needs to be connected to the internet [03:25] AAA, soreau, wgrant: Thank you all! [03:25] shawnj: I don't know, what's broken? [03:25] pavpanchekha welcome === blocky_ is now known as blocky [03:26] unop lshw, nice [03:26] alan___: try plugging it in through a wired connection? [03:26] h00k the problem is just with my windows manager, it disappears, the menubar disappears, so i have to do "ALT-F2" and "metacity --replace" [03:26] HotTuna, so something's brought the wired speed down again? [03:26] alan___: After every install for some reason my laptop shows no wireless networking, only ethernet at first. I plug it in with an ethernet and reboot a few times so it DLs a few updates, and the the wireless starts working. [03:26] HotTuna that is after you rmmod and insmod (sans debug)? [03:26] h00k but i already tried reinstalling that [03:26] my last command was insmod [03:26] then it was fast [03:26] now its back to slow.... [03:26] oh, i see, maybe that will help. [03:26] how can i get ventrilo working on ubuntu, i already have it running under Wine, but unable to talk and listin [03:26] let's see === DainRautenstrauc is now known as Siphis [03:27] HotTuna it was fast and you DID NOT rmmod before it slowed? [03:27] i'm going to use unetbootin with lubuntu, what would u guys recommend i format my usb drive to? fat32/ ntfs ? [03:27] AAA, nope [03:27] shawnj: Check your ~/.xsession-errors for information when it dies [03:28] HotTuna so it was fast then your rmmod and modprobe then slow? [03:28] shawnj: also, you can reset your gnome configuration if you want, or your gnome-panel settings [03:28] AAA, it was fast after the rmmod and insmod process thats all I did [03:28] but now its slow again [03:29] HotTuna aha, that is where the debug comes in handy. is there anything in syslog that gives you clues? [03:29] in dmesg? [03:29] ddrj: I would recommend letting UNetbottin take care of the filesystem [03:29] thelastnode: ok i'll do that [03:29] h00k how do i reset? [03:29] dmesg and syslog have slightly different output [03:29] !resetpanel | shawnj, if you want to try resetting your gnome-panel [03:29] shawnj, if you want to try resetting your gnome-panel: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:29] AAA, apears I dont have syslog [03:29] HotTuna syslog _should_ have more info that dmesg for this issue [03:30] HotTuna /var/log/syslog? [03:30] o [03:30] how can i get ventrilo working? i already have it running under Wine, but unable to talk or listen [03:30] HotTuna ubuntu 10.4 and you don't have /var/log/syslog? sudo needed [03:30] * UltraParadigm wonders why his laptop doesn't have a self destruct button [03:30] hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone could help me get my raid array recognized, I'm trying to get a new server install going, but I'm having trouble getting it done, i posted a thread on the forums here.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1465769&highlight=raid+supermicro [03:31] AAA, yea I do sorry hold for a paste [03:31] hey guys, on a random basis my boot fails because the disk uuid isn't registered in /dev/. can someone help me diagnose why this happens? [03:31] im sure its nothing too complicated, i just don't know what the proper course of action is [03:31] AAA, http://pastebin.org/335420 [03:31] ceno first guess is failing HDD [03:31] ceno: That sounds strange to me. perhaps grub is having a fit? [03:32] AAA, but the fact that grub starts fine shows that the disk is working, right? [03:32] msmith0957: Module libahci not found. [03:32] yes [03:32] ceno: Random issues can be difficult to diagnose. Do you see anything interesting in the syslog? [03:32] UltraParadigm, it seems but there has to be something I can do... I'm getting a lot of calls from my mom O_o [03:33] h00k is "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" supposed to permanently fix it? === rabidweezle is now known as Type-O [03:33] AAA, should I try to install the other driver that unop said now? [03:33] soreau, is the boot verbose registered in syslog? [03:33] shawnj: that will reset your gnome panel settings, it might fix your problem [03:33] aj5555: Is that module the necessary component i need to recognize my array ? [03:33] HotTuna, I would definitely give that a go. [03:33] h00k i'll test it out for a minute [03:33] ceno: Not sure what you mean. The kernel dumps output to /var/log/syslog [03:33] unop, ok ill brb then. [03:34] HotTuna it didn't like the debug:8 so no new infoz there. if unop has suggested another driver, try it for sure [03:34] ceno: first thing I would do is a diagnostic on the hard drive. DL a diagnostic app from your manufactuer and run it on bootup and see if the drive is failing [03:34] soreau, I mean the boot messages, I only see the ubuntu logo because it's set to quiet in grub [03:34] ceno not necessarily [03:34] h00k no it didn't fix it [03:34] I'm off to bed, hope you'll be able to help HotTuna, AAA. [03:34] ceno: The kernel still dumps to the same location regardless [03:35] unop I'll sure try. g'nite [03:35] shawnj: Do you see anything that might be pointing to a potential issue in .xsession-errors? [03:35] soreau, ok, I'll check syslog then [03:35] unop, back alrdy they had an auto installer [03:35] ceno: Of course if it can't access the disk for any reason it wouldn't be able to write to disk obviously so you'd want to get rid of quiet and splash [03:35] unop, so what should I test [03:35] in the /etc/ssh_config file are line beginning with " # " commented out? [03:36] Does anyone know anything about getting a RAID array recognized for a new server install ? [03:36] or i should say, raid controller [03:36] Izinucs: yes [03:36] Izinucs: yes [03:36] AAA, UltraParadigm I'm dual booting with windows7. The boot to windows has never failed, do you still think it's worth downloading a diagnose app? [03:36] Izinucs: isn't /etc/sshd_config the place to make changes? [03:37] unop AAA now it says realtek 8101 fast ethernet driver but still about 5mbps [03:37] msmith0957: are u using raid? [03:37] hey guys, will ubuntu automatically detect how much swap to use when i let it auto install? or do i need to specify the partitions manually? [03:37] soreau: thelastnode to get x11 forwarding working should I uncomment "ForwardX11" and change to yes.. ? [03:37] Izinucs: What do you mean x11 forwarding? [03:37] bastid_raZor: I think so.. I'm trying to get X11 forwarding working.. looks like it's off by default [03:38] Izinucs: yes [03:38] aj5555: yes, the raid array already exists, i had it running with freebsd, but Id like to install ubuntuu instead, but it won't recognize my controller [03:38] h00k well i tried looking, i couldn't see anything apparent, maybe you could find something? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Ddh4Vbny [03:38] Izinucs: in the sshd_config, not ssh_config [03:38] soreau: so I can run X on my laptop from a desktop [03:38] ceno: If windows is working without an issue then I would look into the boot loader first, however I would still do a diag so you can know if you may need to back up your drive. [03:38] ddrj: It has pretty good defaults. [03:38] aj5555, im not sure how to get it to recognize it properly [03:38] HotTuna can you repaste dmesg [03:38] thelastnode: ah.. ok.. thanks [03:38] Izinucs: ok [03:38] AAA, yea [03:38] the thread i posted earlier has outlined my efforts [03:38] WJW: ahh alright thanks [03:38] soreau, yeah, it figures, the only info on syslog is from my current boot, not the previous one that failed [03:38] Izinucs: to connect, use ssh -X @ [03:38] ceno that is just my first guess. it could be something funky with grub, but if it is intermittent, I wouldn' think so [03:39] thelastnode: I have been but when trying to run say xcalc I get "no display" [03:39] h00k maybe theres something on line 12 of http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Ddh4Vbny ? [03:39] Izinucs: what OS is the client running on? [03:39] AAA, http://pastebin.com/XA9DvHHK [03:39] ceno: so get rid of quiet and splash then see if there's any additional interesting output [03:40] thelastnode: the client (where I'm at) is ubuntu 10.04.. the host is on my lan Kubuntu 10.04 [03:40] ceno: However I'm not knowledgeable about how grub works. I just leave it alone and pray. lol. I did recently have a month old HDD crash on me, and linux was having issues with it where as my Windows 7 didn't give any warning. [03:40] shawnj: standby, I'll see what I can find. What release are you on? [03:40] Izinucs: are you running the client in a terminal? [03:40] Izinucs: a gnome terminal that is [03:40] h00k 10.02 Netbook Edition [03:40] thelastnode: yes [03:40] shawnj: 10.04 ;) okay [03:40] h00k i mean that [03:40] h00k yeah thanks [03:41] thelastnode: should I be doing this in a tty? [03:41] soreau, the last time I caught it I think it only hanged on "waiting for root device",the rest was normal but I will have to try to catch it again [03:41] Izinucs: no, that's fine; what does "echo $DISPLAY" print? [03:41] thelastnode: nothing.. blank line [03:42] UltraParadigm, weird. this computer is 6 months old and was put together in a rush. How can I find out the disk manufacturer? [03:42] Izinucs: ah, that's the problem; try running "DISPLAY=:0 ssh -X @ xcalc" [03:42] HotTuna hrm. and you tried the same tests that you go 26M on before? [03:42] thelastnode: should that have been run in the ssh session or in a terminal on the remote machine [03:43] Izinucs: in the terminal on the computer you're connecting from [03:43] shawnj: line 242 is interesting, perhaps someone would have an idea of how to correct this [03:43] AAA, yep same .iso [03:43] AAA, should I rmmod and insmod just for a test? [03:43] HotTuna yes [03:43] AAA, k brb if I get disced then [03:43] thelastnode: but not in the ssh terminal session or *in* the ssh terminal session? [03:43] HotTuna and keep a term open doing $ tail -f /var/log/syslog and look for 'interesing' things [03:44] ceno: If it's a built computer then you will have to look at the packaging that the disk was delivered in, or look at the brand label on the disk. For brand name prebuilt PCs t(I.E. Dell HP) he vendor takes care of all that from thier website [03:44] Izinucs: not in the ssh session [03:44] Izinucs: that's the command that connects to the remote server [03:44] h00k yeah i see, did you see line 12? and sorry, im new to ubuntu so it’s a little confusing [03:44] UltraParadigm, not lspci | grep disk or something of the like? : -D [03:44] thelastnode: ah ok.. I'll exit the session Im in and start over === nuboon2age_ is now known as nUboon2Age [03:44] thelastnode: In the environment where Izinucs runs ssh, what would the DISPLAY variable already be set to? [03:44] Izinucs: you can do "DISPLAY=:0 ssh -X @" without the xcalc part to get a shell and then run xcalc [03:44] HotTuna I have to run an errand. I'll be back in 30m. pm me if you fix it before then [03:45] AAA, k ill probably be here :\ [03:45] shawnj: yeah, that too, but I'm not terribly familiar ;/ [03:45] WJW: not really sure [03:45] shawnj: with how you would fix this [03:45] HotTuna also dink around with the debug settings, google for syntax. [03:46] shawnj: ask the channel and paste that .xsession-errors and see if anyone else would know [03:46] shawnj: I don't know maybe ^_^, The manufacturer is probably recorded somewhere that the OS can access. I don't know the command though in linux. In windows you can try the device manager though. [03:46] thelastnode: I'm curious why you are advising him/her to set it explicitly. Mine for example is already :0.0 . [03:46] WJW: oh, that's a good point, Izinucs might have run the "echo $DISPLAY" in the session... Izinucs: did you? [03:46] thelastnode: still says Error: Can't open display.. for some reason I suspect that x forwarding isn't enabled.. how do I check? [03:46] h00k well that’s why i was first considering reinstalling ubuntu [03:46] thelastnode, Izinucs is Izinucs trying to get a remote program to talk to the local X? === nUboon2Age is now known as nuboon2age [03:47] Anyone know a command to find the HDD manufactuer? [03:47] WJW: yes [03:47] shawnj: another thing you could try would be to remove all of your gnome settings (which would include personalizations) but could fix it [03:47] WJW: he's trying to forward programs over the tunnel to his local X [03:47] does anyone have any idea how to fix this error? See line 242 " http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Ddh4Vbny " === nuboon2age is now known as NUboon2Age [03:47] After upgrading to Lucid I noticed that the sorting in Rhythmbox got messed up. I have it set to sort in alphabetical order based off the album name, however for some reason two albums are at the top that shouldn't be there. [03:47] UltraParadigm: If all else fails, I suppose you could open up the case, remove the drive, and look what is printed on it. [03:47] WJW: ^_^ true === NUboon2Age is now known as nuboon2age_ [03:48] thelastnode: I did try that in the ssh session.. did it in standard terminal on the local machine and it's 0.0 [03:48] Izinucs: did you restart the ssh server after changing the configuration? [03:48] h00k so, how do you do that? :D [03:48] Izinucs: oh, then you don't need to set DISPLAY [03:48] thelastnode: I haven't changed anything yet.. === nuboon2age_ is now known as NUboon2Age [03:48] Izinucs: There's a way to do that sometimes, but I don't think it's as simple as the advice you're getting. [03:49] Izinucs: you have to enable X forwarding on the machine you're connecting to in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config before trying to forward X === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [03:49] thelastnode: let me look at it... === NUboon2Age is now known as nUboon2Age [03:49] Izinucs: (and then restart the ssh server) [03:50] thelastnode: What about the machine he's connecting from? It has to accept a connection to its X server. [03:50] how can i get ventrilo working? i already have it running under Wine, but unable to talk or listen [03:50] Izinucs, That is usually enabled by default. Is the client machine linux? Or just the server? [03:50] Goodnight all [03:50] whats the best cd/dvd bring program for ubuntu? [03:50] nite [03:50] what is svn? [03:50] h00k sorry computer froze, any answers from anyone? [03:50] edbian: both are desktop machines [03:50] WJW: well if he's running it from gnome-terminal, which is running in an X server, he can run new applications in that X [03:50] banker247: when people say svn they mean Subversion. [03:51] Anyone know how to install moblock gui, from terminal? [03:51] ohh.. what is that? [03:51] shawnj: nobody answered, I'm making sure I give you the correct answer to reset gnome settings before I give them to you [03:51] can someone help me with a problem that I'm having while trying to contect from Ubuntu 10.04 go Windows 7? [03:51] * UltraParadigm loves SUPER-TAB, soo cool! [03:51] thelastnode: but won't his X mistrust connections from remote sites unless he does some authentication stuff of some kind to convince it it's OK? [03:51] thelastnode: here's the sshd_config file.. looks like forwarding is enabled.. http://pastebin.com/ajpzTtKb [03:51] let's reboot and see what happens ... [03:52] Izinucs, server: the machine you're connecting to. It is an ssh server. client: the machine you're sitting at connecting to the server from. Get it? ARe they both linux? [03:52] WJW: it's on a lan and rsa keys hve been exchanged [03:52] WJW: shouldn't, the local program ssh is creating the windows right? [03:52] Help needed with moblock gui install... [03:52] edbian: yes.. kubuntu and ubuntu.. client (local) is Ubuntu 10.04 and server is kubuntu 10.04 [03:52] h00k thanks [03:52] thelastnode: Maybe so. I don't mean to interfere, just wanting to learn from your exchange. [03:53] shawnj: *danger*, doing this will reset your gnome settings, use with caution: rm -rf ~/.gnome2 ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd [03:53] WJW: by all means, I could very well be wrong, but I think that's how it works [03:53] whats it mean when a file is.. followed witha : ? .. sorta liek whereis file then the file comes back file: [03:53] whats the best cd/dvd bring program for ubuntu? [03:53] thelastnode: WJW that's the way it's worked in the past.. however with the recent changes who knows :/ [03:53] thelastnode: well, Iziniucs says RSA keys have been exchanged, so I guess that addresses it. [03:53] blue_fox: k3b [03:54] Izinucs, thanks [03:54] h00k okay well i think i'm goin to do that, then do i "sudo reboot"? [03:54] shawnj: that would work. sudo reboot -h [03:54] h00k okay i'll be right back then [03:54] have a quick networking question .. I have two nics on seperate switches one is lan facing one is wan facing .. The wan facing one I set manually and it's giving me internet just fine .. The lan facing one is for serving iSCSI to my home network and for the life of me .. Manually setting the ip just isn't working .. I'm using the ubuntu Network Connections Manager .. There is no DHCP server on this netwok .. [03:55] How do i successfully set the ip manually? [03:55] in other news, apparently my bluetooth problem was fixed... by itself... either that or one of the fixes that I tried didn't take effect till later [03:55] h00k: Just like sudu shutdown -r now, right? [03:55] WJW: yes [03:55] Izinucs, with k3b can i encode a .avi to dvd? [03:55] modeled eth1 after etho just gave it a seperate subnet.. but it just wont go [03:55] WJW: I thought it was -P so power will turn off [03:56] blue_fox: no, you can use devede to do that [03:56] blue_fox: not sure.. never tested it that way.. [03:56] bastid_raZor, thankyou [03:56] Izinucs: No doubt, if you want to power off. [03:58] I'm trying to run orca... but I'm not having any luck [03:58] it auto-started upon bootup the first time I ran ubuntu... but now it just crashed and auto closes everytime I try to run it [03:58] ideas? [03:58] thelastnode: I'm still in never never land.. any more suggestions? Looks like ssh_config has remote X commented out even with sshd_config turned on. [03:59] h00k okay, well for now its working great, will update if anything goes wrong, thanks ;) [03:59] shawnj: excellent :) [03:59] Anyone .. Manually configuring a nic using network connections gui box ? setting doesn't seem to work .. set ip and netmask left gateway blank -> can't talk to this box .. set ip and netmask and set gateway to the ip of the box -> can't talk to this box .. I'm outta thoughts on this (mind it is a seperate subnet and switch) [03:59] Izinucs: on the machine you're trying to connect to, if you run "ssh -X localhost xcalc", does xcalc open? [03:59] OK. So I installed adobe flash 64 bit from source. Everythings great, except.. apparently Synaptic doesn't know flash is installed, so for each thing that apt installs that requires it, apt tries to install flash. each time exit 2. [04:00] thelastnode: I'll try.. brb [04:00] xorwhy: I unstalled Flash x64 from the firefox "Download This Plugin" nag and it works great [04:00] i installed firefox-3.6 and i can not find where it went and also when i click on firefox it still opens 3.6 [04:00] i mean 3.5 [04:01] xorwhy: you can use this ppa to install flash 64 bits plugin with synaptic https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/%2Barchive/flash [04:01] fission6: try 'firefox-3.5' [04:01] fission6, applications / internet [04:01] thelastnode: nope.. same error [04:01] fission6: Properties in Synaptic will say what files are installed. [04:01] xorwhy: Have hulu playing in the background right now [04:01] HI ALL, i downloaded my usb wifi card driver, how do i install the driver from the .bz2 file? [04:02] XFgolden: wow, i had to install huludesktop, though I think it was under 1mb, and it's kinda nice [04:02] Izinucs: then X forwarding is not working on the server, so make sure you have restarted the ssh server (sudo service ssh restart) after editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config correctly === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [04:03] Hi all, I'm having a strange issue with the Lucid Lynx livecd. I've got windows installed on a volume at /dev/sda, but the installer is flat-out ignoring the drive. === ^cheeky_ is now known as ^cheeky [04:03] thelastnode: I posted the pastbin of it.. it looks like it's enabled already [04:03] xorwhy: I may just do that ... but you should probably let FF install the flash x64 plugin .. It totally worked [04:03] wow none of this is helping, applications / internet still opens 3.5 synpatic has all weird things for ff [04:03] thelastnode: as default [04:04] Izinucs: looks correct, this *is* the one on the machine you're trying to connect to right? [04:04] thelastnode: yes [04:04] It was previously configured as a RAID, but I formatted the drive before dumping windows onto it. gparted sees the drive and will interact with it as usual, but it's just that the installer only presents /dev/sdb as a feasible install location. === mickster14 is now known as mickster04 [04:04] Izinucs: did you restart the ssh server? [04:04] HotTuna any luck? [04:04] AAA, not really :\ [04:04] fission6: Right-click on the package in synaptic and bring up properties. Choose the tab for the files installed. [04:04] AAA, I mean, I got the new driver installed, but its not working any faster [04:04] thelastnode: here's the default ssh_config file http://pastebin.com/SbX2RpCV [04:04] Izinucs: also, does the machine your connecting to have X running? did you run the localhost test in a gnome-terminal (or something else with the DISPLAY variable set)? [04:05] * XFgolden remembers the days of irc when 1,400+ users and one to 5 ops meant netsplit DoS(on the ops) channel pirate take over :) [04:05] thelastnode: it's a desktop machine running kubuntu.. should have X [04:05] Izinucs: the default ssh_config is fine since you're using the -X option to override the X forwarding anyways [04:05] Long time since then [04:06] AAA, any more ideas :-( [04:06] thelastnode: ran the localhost X test in a terminal (kubuntu's version) [04:07] HotTuna try this. rmmod 8101 && modprobe 8101 - then run your test. next try :: rmmod 8101 && insmod /path/to/the/dot/ko driver (use the real name of the driver, is it rtl8101?) [04:07] hey, i'm trying to checkout an svn repository. i'm getting this error (presumably their server has a file that's not in my filesystem structure): svn: Can't open file '/home/nex3/svn/gtk-themes/format': Permission denied...... how do i change the destination or prevent it from happening? [04:07] hi guys === majuk is now known as carbonmonoxide [04:08] HotTuna I'm curious of one method of putting your driver in the kernel works better than the other. somehow you got 26M for a moment [04:08] Izinucs: okay, then it's definitely X forwarding not being enabled... you can still ssh in without forwarding right (not a firewall issue or something)? [04:08] xtknight: check the file permissions of that file [04:08] So I guess my question is, why is the installer ignoring /dev/sda? I haven't tried other drives, as I have none to try. [04:08] thelastnode: oh yea.. I'm there now.. [04:08] koolatron: What is /dev/sda USB? [04:08] hi everyone, when I first got my USB HDD I made an image of the local disk using the 'dd' command, the speeds were then around 20mb/s. Now, I can't get it over 10mb/s, what can I do to increase the speeds? [04:08] HI ALL, i downloaded my usb wifi card driver, how do i install the driver from the .bz2 file? [04:08] bastid_raZor, i don't have the file on my disk. i am trying to checkout a repository of themes for gedit, however, i don't know why it is trying to output to an unknown location. can i force it to output at least relative to the current directory instead? i did not see an -O or -o option in svn, any ideas? [04:09] I also benchmarked the speeds by copying USB HDD contents to /dev/zero [04:09] how do i configure nvidia-glx-new resolutions manually [04:09] ...and copying the local content to /dev/zero [04:09] both had appropriate speeds (the first, around 30mb/s and the latter was around 75mb/s) [04:09] !xrandr | stupidresolution [04:09] xtknight: Is your username nex3? [04:09] stupidresolution: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:09] XFgolden: /dev/sda is a SATA hard drive. SATA port 1, had linux on it previously. [04:09] ddrj your first step is to untar the driver, and you'll most likely need to build it from there. to unzip the package do this in your homedir :: tar jxvf file.bz2 [04:09] WJW, nope, this is something arbitrary on their server. i am looking for an option to override their folder structure [04:09] like wget -O... [04:10] lol [04:10] thanks AAA, yeah i untarred it, do i do make or ./configure ? [04:10] its not detecting my monitor..i have one screen [04:10] ddrj what driver is it and why do you think you need to build it from source? [04:10] stupidresolution: xrandr also does resolution.. nvidia-settings is another.. [04:10] and it doesnt have any other resolutions [04:10] I've got a weird VNC problem on Ubuntu 10.04 that I hope someone can shed some light on. [04:10] wavedigit: Nothing as the disk become more full it follows a growing circle that gets bigger which takes more time .. more time needed to write = slower speeds ... USBHDD's are < esata, firewire HDD's [04:10] hmm [04:10] AAA: it's wusb100rev2 driver for usb wireless card x( [04:10] xtknight: Didn't know you could put absolute pathnames in svn. Can you do a chroot? === carbonmonoxide is now known as majuk [04:11] ddrj typically you ./configure --options-and-stuff then make then sudo make install. but that don't always cut it. plus if it is a kernel driver there are more steps [04:11] Izinucs: that's all I got, sorry... I'm almost certain that it's something with the ssh server not forwarding X [04:11] stupidresolution: you can type xrandr in a terminal and see what randr recognized [04:11] right i can open nvidia-settings fine but the resolutions are not available-no monitor detected [04:11] Izinucs: let me know if you find a solution, I'm very curious [04:11] thelastnode: thanks for the effort.. I appriciate it. [04:11] ddrj have you tried using wusbcore? [04:11] XFgolden, thanks, and if the USB HDD is formatted before it is written to? [04:11] koolatron: .. Maybe you can try wiping it totally and then try installing again .. [04:11] When I try to connect to the Ubuntu box from another computer using any VNC viewer, I get prompted for my VNC password and type it in. The remote screen shows up and everything appears to be working. However, when I start clicking around, nothing on the screen changes. At first I thought the mouse and keyboard inputs were disabled but they were not. I put both computers side by side and could watch [04:11] the mouse from my viewer machine moving around on the Ubuntu box. So, it appears that as soon as I connect, I get a static image, none of the video is changing on my viewer machine. I have tried both Real VNC viewer and Tight VNC viewer. I also tried using a different VNC server, TightVNC on the Ubuntu box, same problems. Any ideas? [04:11] AAA: hm... nope, what is wusbcore ? [04:11] WJW, you know what, actually it's a problem with their server. i ran it with sudo and even made the folder and still there's issues [04:11] hmmm [04:11] Izinucs: no problem [04:12] wavedigit: Doesn;t matter .. think of it as a glass .. the more more you pour into it the more full it gets and the firther from the bottom. [04:12] ddrj a driver I found on a default ubuntu install that _may_ be helpful to you. why do you think your usb wireless device isn't working? [04:12] hmm [04:12] wavedigit: the top becomes [04:12] cd1zz: try disabling compiz on the ubuntu machine [04:12] XFgolden: I considered that, but I really don't want to go through the pain of installing and updating windows yet again on it. My aim is to have a dual-boot machine. [04:12] WJW, yea i think chroot would have been the proper solution. anyway it's alright, good idea though! [04:12] ok thx ill try it out trism [04:13] AAA, it's not recognizing it for some reason x( let me install this driver and see what happens [04:13] koolatron: did you use 100% of the disk to install windows one? if so you may go into windows and try to shrink the partition [04:14] AAA: hmm... nm i can't even make or ./configure it... i'm using lubuntu btw [04:14] Izinucs, i can give a shot at your ssh problem? [04:14] but i dont know the question because i just joined in [04:14] XFgolden, I see, but isn't the format setting the hard drive to 'empty' ? [04:14] XFgolden: windows is living on a 32gb boot partition in a 300gb drive [04:14] koolatron: that would give up some unpartitioned (unclaimed) space for you to install any thing else on.... [04:15] XFgolden: gparted reports that there's 260ish gigs of unpartitioned space on the drive. [04:15] The installer won't even give me the option to select it. [04:16] Nominally it asks if I'd like to have the OSes share, or wipe the volume entirely, or whatever. No soap here, it just ignores /dev/sda [04:16] koolatron, what installer mode are you using..manual or automatic partitioning [04:16] wavedigit: well yeah .. if you are using dd to format it though you are essentially writing to it the whole time ... as i said writing to it goes out in bigger circles each revolution which make it take longer and thus slows write speeds [04:16] xtknight: I tried 'em all. [04:17] koolatron, so what's overall problem?sry i joined late...u cant see a drive? [04:17] xtknight: even the manual mode only picked up /dev/sdb [04:17] xtknight: No worries. The Ubuntu installer is ignoring my /dev/sda device wholesale. [04:17] XFgolden, writing 150GB took me 5 hours :x [04:17] koolatron, so you're talking about missing an entire drive, not a partition. what disk controller is /dev/sda residing on? [04:17] xtknight: same SATA controller that /dev/sdb is living on [04:17] koolatron, or, anyway, what would have been /dev/sda [04:17] yeah [04:17] ddrj you don't have the devel tools then. can you paste some stuff in pastebin for me? make sure the usb device is plugged in then do this $ lsusb <-- put that in pastebin [04:18] koolatron, what disk controller is that? Intel ICH?... and is it in AHCI or IDE mode? [04:18] koolatron: that is wierd .. maybe that first little system reserved partition that windows sneeks in is being misinterpreted and it is ignoring the whole device [04:18] ddrj also past the output of $ dmesg [04:18] wavedigit: yeah USB HDD's are slow as hell [04:18] damn no devel tools x( [04:18] /dev/sda shows up just fine in gparted, so it's being detected just fine. Additionally, I can mount the volume and interact with it. [04:18] ie, copy files to and fro [04:18] h00k thanks for the help earlier, everything works great! [04:19] koolatron, oh ok [04:19] shawnj: cool :) [04:19] well the installer uses gparted...so that's weird :( [04:19] It was previously configured as a RAID. The only thing I can think of is that the RAID setup changed something low-level that formatting the device didn't get rid of cleanly [04:19] AAA: hmm... i hate to be such a tool but i have to head out, i will hit u up tomorrow if u're still willing to help x( [04:19] That's just speculation, though [04:19] koolatron, did you wipe the raid flag off of the disk first? use gparted to do that [04:20] raid and lvm are flags in your partition table. you should get rid of them [04:20] if it isnt ar aid.. [04:20] xtknight: Aha! Okay, I'll give that a shot. [04:20] rig [04:20] koolatron, further than this we will look at dmesg, fdisk -l, and sfdisk output....but that's my first guess [04:20] wavedigit: They just are .. there isn't much anyone can do about it ... USB2.0 480Mb/sec == 60MB/sec .. that is the theoretical maximum speed of usb .. and if anyone knows anything thoeretical maximums are are just theory ... YMWV == Your Mileage Will Vary === dummy is now known as acovrig [04:21] gdm/PostSession not working, why? === twoflowers is now known as tohomas [04:21] xtknight: I imagine that the raid flag's still set, and the installer's ignoring it based on that. I seem to vaguely recall needing the alternate install cd to install to a raid === tohomas is now known as twoflowers [04:22] wavedigit: you're luck to see anything over 15MB/sec sustained from what I understand [04:22] koolatron, yes, that's still a necessity. once it is a no longer raid however you should be able to install to it fine. i dont know what the flags do, but it might be the culprit [04:22] xtknight: thanks for hopping in there .. I was starting to not know what ??'s to ask :p [04:23] xtknight: I'll be back if I run into problems :) [04:23] ddrj good luck! [04:23] XFgolden, lol i just dealt with Host Protected Area on my disk. once you deal with that you deal with anything lol [04:23] xtknight: Thanks for the input! [04:23] okay [04:23] XFgolden, you are golden! :D [04:23] hpa hehe [04:24] my xfs partition was randomly not appearing because it was on the boundaries of the disk, and i was very close to destroying all of my data. until i manually typed all my cylinder boundaries in [04:24] I just had to /dev/urandom then /dev/zero one of my hdd's there was a guid partition table in it somewhere and I couldn't find where to look [04:24] sorry, sector boundaries...cylinder wasnt good enough..some of them werent aligned [04:24] any alternatives to usb-creator? it errors out on me [04:24] !usb | clayg [04:24] clayg: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:25] why is gdm/PostSession not working? [04:25] XFgolden, just one more little question, let's say I wanted to make an image from my local HDD, and the target disk has already data on it, how would I still make an image and keep the existent data? dd into a subdir of the target disk? [04:25] !oldster | XFgolden [04:25] yea you can dd stuff to a file (an 'image') [04:25] wildbat_laptop, yeah that guide talks about using the program that isn't working for me, is there another program you know of that i can use? [04:26] clayg, the guide have more the one methods. [04:26] wildbat_laptop, yeah i just saw there is a usb-creator.exe might give that a whirl in windows [04:26] thanks [04:27] thank youuuuu! [04:27] koolatron, here are what raid flags look like (look at the right). http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3600/screenshotdevsdagpartedn.png [04:27] Hello. I need some help running KlamAV using terminal commands. I need to run a scan on the entire system. What command do I enter in terminal? I looked at the manual for KlamAV - and it doesn't seem to mention an option to run a scan on the entire system using terminal (i.e. does not list a terminal command for this). Am I missing something? Can someone please help? [04:27] you hit the proverbial nail on the head .. mount the second disk and and do something like dd if=/dev/sdx of=/Dir/Where/You/Mounted/TheOtherDisk/Filename(forthediskyouwanttocopy).img [04:27] what's the default block size for dd? [04:28] xtknight, 1 [04:28] XFgolden, but the .img at the end is vital if you don't want to lose other data on the target device? [04:28] After upgrading to Lucid I noticed that the sorting in Rhythmbox got messed up. I have it set to sort in alphabetical order based off the album name, however for some reason two albums are at the top that shouldn't be there. [04:28] Does anyone know how to use fsck? [04:28] wavedigit: nah .. just for bookkeeping purposes [04:28] shawnj, yeah? [04:28] oh im seeing 512 bytes on wikipedia lol...... didnt say in the manpage tho..... it can make a big diff in speeds sometimes === prof_away is now known as Prof_BiG_BanG [04:29] can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/kuAAUcP7 - It is a PostSession script run as `/home/sync.sh out` [04:29] xtknight yes, 512 bytes is default [04:29] XFgolden, you just made my life a lot easier! [04:29] xtknight at the prompt what do i type in to check the filesystem? does the fs have to be unmounted? [04:29] wavedigit: you can try dd if=whatYouWantToCopy of=WhereYouWantItToGo bs=10M [04:30] shawnj sudo fdsik -l? what do you want to know? [04:30] shawnj, unmount the filesystem before you do fsck. that means you should boot into ubuntu recovery mode (single-user root mode). then type "fsck /dev/sda3" to check the third partition on the first disk, for instance. the specific file system checker(ext3,xfs,etc) is automatically invoked [04:30] wavedigit: That will try to copy the data in 10MB blocks vs 512k nibbles [04:30] xtknight okay thanks [04:30] if you fsck a mounted filesystem and perform correction you will probably damage it === XFgolden is now known as XFGoldenBBL [04:31] Need more beers and stuff [04:31] *makes a bow* [04:32] uhm [04:32] w8 [04:32] *bows* [04:32] :p [04:32] wavedigit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:32] xtknight is " ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** " bad? and what do i do if it is? [04:32] sorry FloodBot1 :( [04:34] well xrandr only goes by the current system settings [04:34] shawnj, that means it might have fixed something....reboot and try the disk? [04:34] i need to set my reolution manually or properly detect my monitor [04:34] stupidresolution, what video card? [04:34] xtknight okay thanks, sorry im kinda new-ish to this stuff [04:34] nvidia-glx-new drivers used [04:34] shawnj, np, better to ask === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat-laptop [04:35] stupidresolution, try using "gksu nvidia-settings" to adjust ur res, that doesnt wokr? [04:35] can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/kuAAUcP7 - It is a PostSession script run as `/home/sync.sh out` [04:35] let me try === wildbat-laptop is now known as wildbat- === wildbat- is now known as wildbat [04:37] no nvidia-settings and xranr do not work, it only gives me 640-400 [04:38] trying to find the config file has been confuseing and fruitless [04:38] lol, anyone get to see Error404NotFound's quit msg :D [04:38] the monitor support 320-400 up to 2000x2000 [04:39] it isnt detecting my monitor or letting me set a diffrent resolution.. [04:40] stupidresolution, have you tried installing the hardware drivers for your card? [04:40] stupidresolution, "Hardware Drivers" [04:40] I recently installed proprietary video card drivers on my laptop and it broke X. Now I just get black screen when I start up. Is there a way to uninstall the drivers via a live cd? [04:40] stupidresolution, nvidia-settings should do it..if it doesn't you need to research the "UseEdid" flag and possibly create your own modelines [04:40] nvidia-glx-new is what was most up to date in the resp..but i have neweer ones on the desktop[ i don't know how to install [04:40] Paradoxx, can you access a command console after you boot up your machine? [04:41] tucemiux, nope [04:41] Paradoxx, do u get the loginwindow? [04:41] Paradoxx, you can go into recovery mode and type "rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" reboot your machine..problem should be solved [04:42] acovrig, no. At the time that the system WOULD give the login, there is nothing [04:42] so [04:42] 10.06 x64 should this install on a 2007 macbook ? [04:42] hmmm [04:42] it boots, no matter what option i select it reboots [04:42] xtknight, Recovery mode doesn't work either [04:42] Paradoxx, even then, you should still be able to get a console, if you cant get a console then boot up into recovery mode like xtknight suggested [04:42] i'm sure i had 64bit ubuntu on here before [04:42] manual configureation of resolutions? [04:42] Paradoxx, ? something else is wrong [04:43] Paradoxx, when you get to recovery mode make sure to say "i want to go to a console"..you did that right [04:43] Paradoxx, u can get a shell if u get the xubuntu livecd, use the rescue mode instead of livecd when u boot from the cd [04:43] xtknight, Where is that option? [04:43] acovrig, is that on the normal live cd? [04:43] Paradoxx, recovery mode is available if you press escape during your boot process....you should see normal and recovery....you know what i mean? [04:43] yes, xubuntu, not ubuntu, that goes with what xknight said [04:44] xtknight, yea, I know that much, but even when I go to recovery mode, I don't recall anything that allows me to go straight to terminal [04:44] Paradoxx, evidentally xknight was talking about the standard grub [04:44] How can i stop openoffice autocompleting words for me? every time it ever tries it's always wrong and i have to press backspace before pressing enter or it'll paste some huge long chunk of wrongness [04:44] Paradoxx, really...ok ... did you press "resume normal boot" before? there should be a list of about six things....choose "go to root console" or "prompt" or something [04:45] fawk man [04:45] stupidresolution, u mean man fawk? [04:45] i guess i'll re-install them again...i'm trying to fix my nvidia resolutions [04:45] can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/kuAAUcP7 - It is a PostSession script run as `/home/sync.sh out` [04:45] stupidresolution, what kind of monitor do you have?? [04:45] xtknight, hmm, I don't recall seeing that screen after I chose recovery mode [04:45] nec multisync 50 [04:46] can I use versa instead of xorg? [04:46] Paradoxx, what ubuntu version? [04:46] i haven't found anything myself for this monitor yet [04:46] xtknight, 10.04 [04:46] Paradoxx, recovery mode reallly really should work and show that menu..can you try it again? if not, then we'll do livecd [04:46] xtknight, would removing the xorg.conf from in my current livecd session help? [04:46] but the old drivers, worked and detected all resolutions and color modes [04:46] Paradoxx, ok let's just do livecd now then [04:46] xtknight, I'm currently using a livecd on the machine [04:47] but it wasnt using the nvidia card =c [04:47] Paradoxx, what partition is your old linux installed on? /dev/sda1? [04:47] xtknight, sda6 [04:47] Paradoxx, execute these in a terminal, i separated them by a semicolon: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/linux ; sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/linux [04:47] now it's using nvidia-glx-new just fine, but my resolution is stuck at 320x400 or 640 x 400 [04:48] Paradoxx, if u have a livecd, u can mount /dev/*da*, then rm xorg.conf or run a shell like you booted ur old linux using xubuntu livecd [04:48] ok, orca is now running, but I'm not getting any sound [04:48] Pr3nt1c3, does your sound work otherwise? [04:48] yes [04:48] can I use versa instead of xorg in a usb install [04:48] How can I change the background color of the terminal I get when I do Ctrl+Alt+F2? [04:49] xtknight, done [04:49] acovrig do you me vesa? [04:49] but when I go system->preferences->sound... it hangs with a 'waiting for sound system to respond' [04:49] Paradoxx, type "sudo rm /mnt/linux/etc/X11/xorg.conf" [04:49] so umm... anyone else having some xorg/gnome trouble after an upgrade? [04:49] Paradoxx, if it says absolutely nothing back to you, no errors, that means it succeeded. you can then reboot and you should be okay [04:49] stupidresolution run this in terminal to identify card lspci | grep VGA [04:49] AAA, when booting puppy linux it asks me if I want versa (or xversa) or xorg for my xserver, can I do that in ubuntu usb? [04:49] xtknight, done [04:49] acovrig if so, I believe there is an option during install, F2 for help - it should give you the arg [04:49] can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/kuAAUcP7 - It is a PostSession script run as `/home/sync.sh out` [04:50] Paradoxx, after you reboot just uninstall the rogue software thru the hardware drivers control panel [04:50] acovrig I don't know what versa is, sorry [04:50] acovrig: puppy linux is not supported here [04:50] xtknight, ok. I'll try to do that now. Thanks much! I'll be back if anything else goes wrong :D [04:50] okay! [04:50] SoftwareExplorer: try "setterm -background -foreground ; clear" [04:50] wise_crypt, I know, but I was talking about a feature in puppy linux that I was wondering if it was in ubuntu [04:50] SoftwareExplorer: not really sure if that works, got it from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473106 [04:51] !mint | acovrig [04:51] acovrig: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

I don't know the options off the top, google it [04:51] ah, had to change speech synthesizer to gnome-espeak [04:51] thelastnode: Ok, I read the threat to see if I can figure this out myself, but is color in the format of #hexnumber or does it use color names of some sort? [04:51] fixed [04:52] AAA, yes that is it, I have a monitor that says Out of Bounds or something like that when I boot, but the projector works ok, so I was going to try VESA instead [04:52] SoftwareExplorer: names (according to the cursory glance at the man page), try "man setterm" [04:52] I think it's working ok now.... but it's not speaking letters properly... only be speaking random letters / punctuation [04:53] can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/kuAAUcP7 - It is a PostSession script run as `/home/sync.sh out` [04:53] xorg is using bad modes after a dist-upgrade... nvidia card...

You all are awesome. [04:54] acovrig: you do realize that linux has this REALLY NEAT feature called "console mode" [04:54] paradoxx, yupp glad to hear [04:54] is there a way to get orca to read out messages from xchat i.e. as each new line / message prints to screen, it reads them [04:54] acovrig: right? [04:54] acovrig use the F2 option on the ubuntu installer for help. I forget what the option is called, but something like vga, or lowres, or vesa or something. you get the idea [04:55] helo_, yes, but if you are needing to reboot, u get disconnected from the IRC anyway [04:55] acovrig maybe something like vga=800x600 or some'n. you'll find it [04:56] acovrig: not if you do it right ;) [04:56] im not sure if this is relevant to what any of you are talking about, but you can run a program under 'nohup' (no hang up) and itll stay even if you logout [04:56] helo_ - s`creen`?

[05:02] theadmin sorry, it was only sarcastic [05:02] AAA: at 8:00:51AM you said "shortah help you give me money? =p" [05:02] AAA: oic === flick is now known as Guest11056 [05:03] AAA, I must be missing something, `screen` then ^a [ gives copy [05:03] AAA: I assume you know that ^a stands for Ctrl+A? [05:03] AAA, yes [05:03] theadmin seriously. it was all in fun, I had no idea that was contentious. I now know, won't happen again [05:03] SoftwareExplorer: that clears the screen, which forces it to redraw [05:03] hello fellas, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 from the Live CD and installation process is stopping "unexpectely" with a message like this: unexpected exit with status 0x0009 [05:03] I have a blind friend who's old toshiba laptop running windows could read per character / sentence @ 180wpm... but orca doesn't seem to be able to do this [05:04] thelastnode yes, that was a mistype [05:04] any ideas? [05:04] acovrig ctrl-[ starts copy mode in screen [05:04] I've been to the gnome-orca site to try and figure out why it's not working as well as I'd like... but it's not as helpful as it could be [05:04] jmestrada: Do you have enough RAM? Did you verify the LiveCD integrity (possible from the menu)? [05:04] Anyone know of a GUI OPENVPN client for gnome? [05:04] AAA, what, for me ^a then [ starts copy [05:04] pushpop: NetworkManager? :P [05:04] After upgrading to Lucid I noticed that the sorting in Rhythmbox got messed up. I have it set to sort in alphabetical order based off the album name, however for some reason two albums are at the top that shouldn't be there. [05:05] AAA, Screen version 4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06 [05:05] can i reset usb? [05:05] acovrig then you can use hjkl and suck for navigation. use the space bar to start a point to begin copying and the navigate vim like to select your text. hit the space bar to save it to the buffer [05:05] I really just want orca to read out the chat messages so I don't have to read everything... I've got it reading my chat input everytime I stop typing, but that's as much functionality as I can manage [05:05] thanks for helping, theadmin... yes I have enough RAM and I already installed OS on another PC with the same CD [05:05] thadmin: not familiar with NetworkManger is it built in to Ubuntu? [05:05] pushpop: Just install the network-manager-openvpn package [05:05] Ctrl-A, ] [05:05] acovrig then use ctrl-] to paste that buffer into your terminal/vim/cat whatever [05:05] theadmin, I did but it wont let me apply the opvn file I import [05:06] AAA, no, I know how to cp&paste, but if an action goes out of the screen bounds, can I read it? [05:06] pushpop: Yeah I know, NM is having import/export bugs in Ubuntu for reasons unknown... [05:06] acovrig k [05:06] theadmin, any other solutions you know of? [05:06] acovrig hold it down until it goes up. or gg [05:06] additional info: just noticed that this PC has a 64-bit Intel Pentium CPU, LiveCD version is 32-bit, could be the reason of the problem? [05:06] acovrig, just redirect output to a file [05:06] acovrig , theadmin got me all confusified [05:07] pushpop: kvpnc works well for KDE but in GNOME it gets messy... drakvpn is not bad but I think that's only in Mandriva [05:07] kvpnc was buggy as hell in gnome [05:07] AAA, like if I `cat` it ends up like `tail`, can I read the `head`? and |more or |less isn't too much an option, cuz its `vlc -I rc` [05:07] this is kind of making me question whether it was safe to put lucid on half of our developer's workstations :/ [05:07] theadmin, damn I guess there is not other solutions than [05:07] well hello 11419 ubuntu lovers ;) [05:07] Hey. Is there a way to focus the "Notification Area" (aka taskbar) with the keyboard? [05:07] damn thats a lot o people [05:08] acovrig in your ~/.screenrc you can set the number of history lines to remember [05:08] acovrig I assume your are starting vlc from the command line? [05:08] i've been encouraging them to do regular upgrades, assumming they would not break [05:08] pushpop: Lemme do a quick package search to see if I find something [05:08] AAA, yes, and if I type longhelp or help, it goes out of the screen and I can't see the first few lines unless I exit screen [05:09] acovrig and this is in a screen session, correct? [05:09] theadmin, thx [05:09] theadmin, could it be a motive of the problem the fact that LiveCD version is 32-bit and PC architecture is 64-bit? [05:09] AAA, ys [05:09] acovrig or just a terminal? [05:09] err, system tray [05:09] pushpop: Found something called `gadmin-openvpn-client` [05:09] AAA, oops, yes screen goes out and I can't scroll, if it is in just the terminal, I can scroll [05:09] and now orca is not working at all... what's going on? [05:09] jmestrada: Yeah, possible [05:10] theadmin, hehe can't get that to work, nowhere to insert the opvn file [05:10] theadmin, lol [05:10] AAA: oops, missed the hilight, yes, screen is very conducive to multitasking, heh [05:10] pushpop: Hm well outta ideas [05:10] possible means you haven't experience this issue in the past, have you? [05:10] hi, i'm unable to use either the voice or video call in empathy, the webcam works in cheese... [05:10] thadmin ok me too thx for checking it out though [05:10] jmestrada: I don't work with x64 machines regulary (I didn't ever install x86 Linux on em, at least) [05:11] Pr3nt1c3, just for lols, it doesn't work because 'Your cat tried to eat the mouse.' [05:11] maybe this is some problem with EDID detection? [05:11] I wish it were that simple [05:12] no lugaru for tonight :( [05:12] AAA, like if I could scroll in screen [05:12] acovrig inside screen (open terminal and type screen) with a default ~/.screenrc you can press ctrl-a [ to start 'capture mode' :: you can then use 'k' for up and 'j' for down. if you hold down the 'k' key you will eventually scroll paste your visible shell. you can also key in 'gg' and it will scrollback 500 lines (screen default) and you can then use j to page down [05:12] ok, theadmin, understood, I'm downloading 64-bit LiveCD in order to try again, this PC was just bought today, but I didn't know I was buying an Intel 64-bit CPU [05:12] Hello [05:12] acovrig: shift pgup shift pgdn [05:13] Can I use Ubuntu destop acted as server? [05:13] jmestrada: Understood, report back if you have any problems... Someone might help :D [05:13] earthman, yes [05:13] acovrig you can also use ctrl-a ? in a screen session to see your hotkey options [05:13] espeak is not not giving any sound... but after a re-set it will only speak with the festival driver [05:13] earthman: Naturally. It just comes with lotsa packages that are useless for a server [05:13] under gnome-speech-services [05:13] speech dispatcher won't work [05:14] What is the name of the Gnome monitor settings package? [05:14] quick question, if I do a lvcreate of /var is it going to erase it? [05:15] hi, i'm unable to use either the voice or video call in empathy, the webcam works in cheese... [05:15] AAA, thanks alot, I am probably use that (k and j in cp mode) more than ^a " [05:15] sure I will... this was certainly a weird situation, it's not common that a PC store sells 64-bit components without inform [05:15] chalk: in my experience, video/voice calls in empathy are a bit buggy [05:15] tks [05:15] I am having trouble with my microphone. How can I get it to work? [05:15] lordquackstar xorg? [05:15] acovrig: No, the configuration utility [05:15] I didn't check... it won't happen again :D [05:16] anybody? [05:16] Any body know screem html editor? [05:16] !anyone [05:16] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:16] acovrig are you now able to scroll up like you wanted? [05:16] I need site template,but not find on web [05:16] jordquackstar, gnome-display-properties? [05:16] this is bad... i've never had (post-xfree fork, at least) nvidia, nv, and vesa all give me bad modes for my monitor [05:16] AAA, yes-its amazing for me [05:17] thanks, theadmin! [05:17] hmm [05:17] acovrig: Lemme try that [05:17] got it [05:17] is there a performance increase running x64 over x86 on a core 2 duo? [05:17] acovrig cool. [05:17] Parabola: x64 _SHOULD_ be faster on x64 processors [05:17] AAA, especially since the playlist cmd in vlc -I rc requires that trick (k and g) [05:17] thought so [05:17] the x64 wont boot on my mac anymore [05:17] olders versions used too [05:18] windows does, osx does [05:18] but ubuntu 10.06 gets to loading screen, i select language [05:18] then i choose either install or live, and it reboots [05:18] It's kinda funny that pple thank ubottu [05:18] Parabola: There is no such thing as "Ubuntu 10.06" [05:18] !botsnack [05:18] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [05:18] what the fukc oever [05:18] 10.04 [05:18] acovrig: What package is gnome-display-properites a part of (NOT ubuntu-desktop) [05:18] theadmin you are not helpful at all [05:18] go troll 4chan [05:18] Parabola: I'm just trying to get whether you're running 10.04 or 10.10-A1 [05:19] acovrig are you familiar with vim? I highly recommend speding 15m on $ vimtutor <-- it will show you alot of keyboard shortcuts and stuff that are very applicable to using the key bindings in screen [05:19] I am running 10.04 on a laptop. My mouse malfunctions every now and then. It will move but I wont be able to click anything. I bought a mouse for it and this still happens. [05:19] lordquackstar, it is for me (standard 9.04 desktop install) - Gnome Menu/System/Preferences/Display [05:19] jerzy: I have this problem too, I reported it somewhere but don't remember. Hope they fix it [05:19] Xorg.0.log is referring to my monitor (using nvidia-auto-select) as a CRT, but it is LCD. could this cause it to feed it bad modes? [05:20] it's detecting the resolution correctly [05:20] AAA, no, what is the tutor thing? [05:20] Parabola: Of course it's a dumb question but it's just the regular drill, you know :D Did you verify the CD? [05:20] theadmin, yea, crud, I hope somone can fix it [05:20] jerzy: could be invisible windows? do you have compiz running? [05:20] can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/kuAAUcP7 - It is a PostSession script run as `/home/sync.sh out` [05:20] jerzy: Actually, cairo-dock or any like dock? [05:20] soreau, well it usually happens when I get on mozilla [05:20] acovrig: I'm trying to get it in lubuntu, a seperate DE. It does not come with alot of gnome tools. I'm trying to install some, but I need to know the package name [05:20] no docks. [05:21] acovrig vimtutor just gives you a brief and helpful introduction to the vi editor [05:21] I am using a fresh 10.04, just updated, no add ons [05:21] jerzy: Maybe only happens on flash apps in ff? [05:21] That could be possible, how could I fix this? [05:21] acovrig you may need to apt-get install vim as default ubuntu only has vi, or tiny-vim [05:21] AAA, lol just a sec `apt-get install vim-runtime` [05:22] acovrig just vim should work [05:22] jerzy: Well the problem is with flash but that's closed source so we can't fix it. However, compiz reveals this issue [05:22] How do I private message again? [05:22] jerzy: /msg NAME MESSAGE [05:22] jerzy /query dude [05:22] thx [05:22] jerzy: You don't need to pm me [05:23] I just wanted to test it. [05:23] lol [05:23] jerzy: You could pm ubottu to test :/ [05:23] AAA, `vimtutor` just gave me something blank (or so I think) in vi [05:24] AAA, now how do I quit vi? lol [05:24] jerzy: sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects tab <-- set to None would be metacity or no compiz [05:25] acovrig: :q [05:25] thelastnode, thanks [05:25] acovrig: basically, in normal mode, :q === iflema_ is now known as iflema [05:25] AAA, the vimtutor cmd doesn't work (i don't think) what should I get? [05:27] acovrig: sudo apt-get install vim [05:28] thelastnode, thanks, now vimtutor works just fine [05:28] acovrig: I'll avoid starting an editor war, but I think knowing vim is pretty handy for working your way around the command line, especially since a lot of other utilities use similar commands [05:28] can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/kuAAUcP7 - It is a PostSession script run as `/home/sync.sh out` that isn't working [05:28] saludos [05:28] thelastnode, what's the PRO/CON vim vs nano [05:29] its kinda funny, I catch myself doing ^k in gedit (im used to nano) [05:29] acovrig: vim is far more powerful, but has a much steeper learning curve [05:29] acovrig it is in vim-runtime, sorry [05:30] !find vim [05:30] Found: vim, vim-common, vim-dbg, vim-doc, vim-gnome (and 16 others) [05:31] hola [05:31] eos_: English here please. [05:32] Hello, i have a strange problem. my webcam works fine(it is a notebook and i dont know how to get the info on the built in cam) i am trying to use tinychat. on selecting broadcast i get a black popup saying click 'Allow','Remember; and then select Close. Clicking Try Again or Close does nothing. I see no Allow button and i have always allowed tinychat.com on http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_m [05:32] anager06.html [05:32] mushy1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:33] can anyone assist me with this? [05:33] theadmin dpkg -S says it is a part of this pkg vim-runtime: /usr/bin/vimtutor [05:33] Hello. Anybody have a window decorator problem after to update system? [05:33] I use lucid [05:33] mushy1: This is most likely a flash problem [05:34] is there anyway to "turn off" the netbook remix, like make it look like desktop edition? [05:34] DaviRRiRRi: "Window decorator problem" is too generic. Which window decorator? Which desktop? What is the problem exactly? === bruno is now known as Guest84189 [05:35] Howdy ya'll! [05:35] clayg: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:35] I fixed my Sound problem [05:35] clayg: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:35] clayg: yes on the log in screen look at the bottom [05:35] awesome [05:35] i appreciate it i'll try both solutions [05:35] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :) [05:36] clayg by default though gnome will be a choice already [05:37] yay, it's kinda working now [05:38] clayg: did you see it on the login screen? [05:38] Hello theadmin, thanks for you answer. Look, later a update system i guess, the titlebar and options maxim, minimized disappeared. And appears to be a problem of compiz. In visual efects, extras and normal dont works decorator windows, is work well in normal [05:38] Heya, if my dvd drive is on the way out the door. can i somehow mount the installation cd from another linux distro installed on the same machine (not the one I want to replace). like can i DL the ISO and install from that, or is there another way maybe? === HotT is now known as HotTuna [05:38] mushy1, i am upgrading now but as soon as it's done im going to look [05:39] DaviRRiRRi: Sorry but your english is confusing me [05:39] acovrig vim-runtime is a dependancy of vim so if you did $ apt-get install vim then vimtutor should be in your $PATH [05:39] Dave123-road: Can you run 'compiz --replace' in your terminal and pastebin the output? [05:39] am i the only one who loves the xfce interface? [05:39] xfce is nice, but i prefer gnome myself [05:39] i cancelled out, ill take a look now [05:40] mushy1, i do not see it [05:40] AAA, yes it is, I am on Lesson 2.4, its kinda cool, dw for one, and that `nano ^c` (current position) happens live in vi [05:40] im going to try to install ubuntu-desktop [05:40] wait [05:40] now i see [05:40] AAA, and the hjkl for movement does make much more sence due to not having to leave the home-row for the arrow keys, but it takes some getting used to [05:40] ahh heck yeah, sweet, thanks [05:41] acovrig cool, I really think the 15-25m you spend on vimtutor is well worth the knowledge [05:41] mushy1, i like xubuntu for the xfce interface, but all i get is xtermbuntu after installation :P === kenneth is now known as zipper [05:41] AAA, definitely! [05:41] chalk what is that? [05:41] Anyone got a suggestion for me, i am using slackware now, i have a partition i would like to put ubuntu on, is this doable without a bootable install disk? [05:41] theadmin, the titlebar and minimize and maximize not disappeared. Only appear if dont use visual efects: in normal or extra efects dont works [05:41] acovrig: I accidentally use hjkl in other applications by accident now, heh [05:41] acovrig it is one of the best habbits you can for IMHO (no emacs flamewars implied...) [05:41] thelastnode, I'm sure I will in nano lol [05:41] mushy1, just a command line of ubuntu, i guess, not very sure [05:42] chalk i also used notebook remix for a time but it was a pain in the butt, slow as heck, and only dealt with it because it 'fit' the small screen [05:42] acovrig: well if you get to that point, I don't think you'll be using nano heh [05:42] i did the install xubuntu-desktop and never looked back [05:42] and I do realize the irony that the default bash shell on ubuntu has emacs bindings... [05:42] !ot [05:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:42] ah, so if i did sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop i could use xubuntu on my ubuntu? [05:42] AAA: "set vi" in .bashrc [05:42] thelastnode I have... [05:42] i love nano, its my favorite editor hands down =) [05:43] thelastnode I learned with emacs in bash [05:43] thelastnode, nano is good for starters to the terminal, but vi is for power users [05:43] oops I guess we got a editor war started [05:43] lol [05:43] gaom I typical ctrl-x and install vim, hehe [05:43] meh, i'm hardly a starter, i just don't like the way "power user" editors work [05:44] hi, i`ll try ti set up autoclean samba recylebin. Is the command correct: "find /home/user/*/.recycle -type f -atime +7 -exec rm {} \; >& /dev/null" ? [05:44] what program do i need to find wireless networks [05:44] gaom once you figure out ctrl-a and ctrl-e and ctrl-w and such on the bash command line, you'll change your mind :) [05:44] how can I find out what date packages were installed on? [05:44] But on my original question, is there some way to install ubuntu from the net without downloading any sort of installation medium? [05:45] chalk yes that is what i did, it also did the login screen as xfce's [05:46] mcnellis a hackish way might be $ ls -lst /var/cache/apt/archives/ [05:46] actually /var/log/apt/history.log seems to have the info i'm looking for thanks for the help thoug hAAA [05:47] is there a ^z equivalent in vi? [05:47] acovrig: ^z [05:48] ^z is suspend in bash, so it works with basically everything [05:48] thelastnode, I meant undo, how do I resume vi? [05:49] something with `job`, I think [05:49] acovrig: type "fg". Undo is "u", redo is ^r. [05:49] nobody... ok, then what doing command: "rm {} \; >& /dev/null" ? [05:50] sorry i'm new to Ubuntu, can anyone tell me anything about sigmatel drivers? [05:50] can I changes key bindings? [05:51] acovrig: yep, :map [05:51] is there any way to resize a window to a given size in gnome? say I want my firefox to be exactly 1024x768 [05:51] so why would my interface not come up after a reboot [05:51] acovrig: also, the :help command and google are both very helpful, try :help :map [05:51] even though the config is in /etc/network/interfaces [05:52] i do an ifconfig and it shows nothing [05:52] Talon_: wmctrl I believe [05:52] hi! [05:52] shortah: Perhaps no module is loaded for your ethernet hardware [05:52] Talon_: it's a command line program that lets you do things like resize windows. compiz also has a resize info plugin that says the size of the window as you're resizing. [05:52] Talon_: some apps respect xorg's geomerty, though not firefox [05:53] well my resolution is fixed for now, i think xrandr needed a reboot [05:53] Talon_: you can use javascript:resizeTo(800px,600px); in the address bar of firefox to chage the size [05:54] now i have a pc that is daisy chained into my main pc as a switch..and that pc isnt getting internet depite being connected physically?? [05:54] all are configure for dhcp?? [05:54] stupidnics: How do you have them connected exactly? [05:54] what am i messing up here? [05:55] brb - client switch [05:55] kbrosnan: that didnt work [05:55] pc:1 is connected to an onboard nic on pc2 pc2 is connected to the internet === acovrig2 is now known as acovrig [05:55] pc2 uses a third nic [05:55] to connect to the router [05:56] Talon_: drop the px in both numbers [05:56] i had it working previously... [05:56] javascript:resizeTo('1024','768'); yea this worked, you said it before i figured it out [05:56] stupidnics: google 'how to share internet connection ubuntu' === tweak is now known as Guest36143 [05:56] xD [05:56] i'll put that in a side window [05:57] stupidnics: Click on the first link and it shows step by step [05:57] !oldster [06:00] wow txt converstion in vim! [06:01] thelastnode, how do I use the map thing, :map j up to have j go up instead of down? [06:02] AAA, how do I use the map thing, :map j up to have j go up instead of down? [06:02] !fakeroot [06:02] acovrig: sorry, what did you say, I quit right as you said it [06:02] thelastnode, how do I use the map thing, :map j up to have j go up instead of down? [06:03] acovrig: :map j [06:03] acovrig: don't do that though... [06:04] why? [06:04] j k [06:04] acovrig: a lot of things use hjkl in the format they are, it's beneficial to learn them the way they are [06:04] true [06:04] wasd [06:04] ugh, that first link is configureing a xp machine as the switch.. [06:05] acovrig: also, maps aren't permanent unless you put it in your .vimrc [06:05] hmm [06:05] i haven't had any updates for ubuntu 10.04 lts. is there something wrong or have there been no updates for a few days? [06:06] shouldn't dhcp configure it all automatically? [06:06] ryoohki: There are updates quite often... not daily though, lol, this ain't Fedora [06:06] true, cuz I have screen 0 vimtutorial and 1 vim and they 1 didn't apply to 0 also, good to cuz I did :map j k lol [06:06] wasd //// hjkl <---nahhhhh ... maybe hujk or jikl [06:07] stupidnics: no [06:07] but hjkl how can you move with that ? [06:07] hang on i gotta switch my monitor over and back again, just restarted the other pc1 [06:07] stupidnics: You have a nonstandard setup [06:07] thx [06:07] is this an ubuntu only chat?

[06:09] XFGoldenBBL: hjkl is pretty intuitive and convenient after some use... you don't have to move off the home row [06:09] theadmin lilo turns over in his grave... [06:10] AAA: Huh? [06:10] theadmin RE: windows on freenode, OPN, lilo [06:11] theadmin an 'inside' not joke of sorts... [06:11] I bet I can't get sound alerts in irssi, can I :| [06:11] After a suspend of my computer, the connected USB devices is re-enumerated. Is there a way to avoid this? It's mighty annoying when I have minicom talking to serial ports via usb adapters. [06:11] you can, you can make it run scripts when you're hilight'd [06:11] in the conf file? [06:12] AAA: Lilo... that's a bootloader, right? :/ [06:12] Anyone here know how I can restart something that locked up in term. I was in the middle of "receiving objects" and it locked [06:12] acovrig: yep, I'm pretty sure [06:12] okay, I'm off to sleep [06:13] MeatCurtains: Ctrl+C _usually_ terminates the current program in terminal [06:13] anyone else facing frequent disconnects on skype in 9.10 ? [06:13] MeatCurtains: You probably can just ctrl+c and rerun the command [06:13] theadmin my point was only that of irony. lilo was the OPN admin that made the decision to move to freenode. he was a love/hated charector but he was all albout open source. hence my comment [06:13] Thanks soreau [06:13] can i reset usb? [06:13] Does anyone know how to get Modio to run in WINE? [06:13] AAA: And what is OPN? [06:14] theadmin open projects network. what freenode was before it was freenode :) [06:14] h3m10ck: Go to #winehq for that please... we don't support Wine here.... anymore lol someday we did answer wine questions, I can remember. [06:14] h3m10ck, there is a wine channel somewhere, but you probably will get better support here, lol [06:14] theadmin and lilo was the main oper that made 'the drama' [06:14] theadmin google opn freenode lilo [06:15] theadmin, AAA: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [06:15] Flannel: Understood. AAA, whatever with that, I'll figure this out later [06:16] I see that minicom is no longer a Canonical supported package. Are there good alternatives? I hope the answer isn't gtkterm :) [06:16] just paying a bit of homage to the fallen freenode'r [06:17] so i should be configureing the slave pc to the ip of the nic on the main pc? [06:17] I'm looking for a easy to setup mail server this looks good anyone else recommend this or tell me if it looks okay? amature linux person :P http://atmail.com/kb/2009/installing-atmail-mail-server-under-ubuntu-webmail-smtppop3imap-calendaring-push-and-more/ [06:17] tasslehoff: minicom is still in universe, so you can still use it (and it still gets community support) [06:17] argh why is qbittorrent going at less than 1k/s when there are 200 seeds [06:17] how do I scroll in irssi? [06:17] acovrig: page up and page down [06:17] acovrig: pageup/pagedown, or alt-p/alt-n [06:17] blocky: Try smth else maybe, transmission or deluge or vuze or something [06:18] theadmin, what do you use? [06:18] after I add a user to a group must I restsart my session? i.e. I've added myself to a group but when i type groups from the command line the new gruop doesn't show up [06:18] * theadmin uses transmission, blocky [06:18] mcnellis you need to login to that account again [06:18] damn, no way to refresh? lol [06:18] don't wanna restart all my programs :( [06:18] mcnellis a quick check is sudo [06:18] mcnellis: For it to take effect in your current terminal, yes. If you just want to verify that you were added, you can type 'groups username' (where username is yours) and it'll show them [06:19] k brb then :} [06:19] koolatron, so whats the status? [06:19] ok i made them all roaming excep for the slave pc [06:19] Flannel, that just scrolls the terminal window, not irssi and alt p/n just does the pi symbol (math) and the ~ over the 'n' (spanish) [06:19] Flannel: that's what I do atm, but the usb re-enumeration is painful when using minicom. Is there a way to find out which ttyUSB's there is activity on? [06:19] I so meant su [06:19] grrrrrrrrrrrrr...i cant get wubi to work...keeps asking for a disk === gent is now known as gnet_away === gnet_away is now known as gent_away [06:21] I'm looking for a easy to setup mail server this looks good anyone else recommend this or tell me if it looks okay? amature linux person :P http://atmail.com/kb/2009/installing-atmail-mail-server-under-ubuntu-webmail-smtppop3imap-calendaring-push-and-more [06:21] sum42guy2k: Why not use a real live cd? [06:21] sum42guy2k: Do you have an ISO of Ubuntu? Put it in same folder as wubi.exe (make sure the name is exactly how it's on download page) and start it [06:21] Kane_Hart, tell me if it works, I've been wanting one myself [06:22] Yo yo yo [06:22] I was hope someone has experince [06:22] LOL [06:23] Kane_Hart: wassup? [06:23] lol, should not take much time to download for me...... [06:23] ActionParsnip: (h|sh)e's trying to set up a mail server [06:23] theadmin: I see. Thanks [06:24] !wicd [06:24] Kane_Hart: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer [06:25] Kane_Hart, How much work do you want to do? [06:25] Worms: (with ubottu's voice) WICD is an alternative to the default network manager. To replace the default network manager with wicd, run 'sudo apt-get install wicd' in a !terminal [06:25] Kane_Hart: Reading the comments, looks like you want the free version guide but shouldnt hurt to try it [06:26] Theadmin: you can suggest the factoid to the ubottu admins ;) [06:26] !info wicd [06:26] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-2 (lucid), package size 39 kB, installed size 88 kB [06:26] ActionParsnip: No idea who they are (apart from Pici) [06:26] Wicd is sweeeet but doesn't configure 3G afaik [06:26] Kane_Hart, do you know what the sys requirements are for http://atmail.com/kb/2009/installing-atmail-mail-server-under-ubuntu-webmail-smtppop3imap-calendaring-push-and-more [06:27] Theadmin: you use ubotti herself: /msg ubottu !wicd is description [06:27] theadmin: replace description with your words [06:27] theadmin: thanks.. it's seemed like a week at least [06:27] you can discuss in #ubuntu-ops IIRC [06:28] ActionParsnip: huh... will she just accept a new factoid from someone like that? [06:28] theadmin: No, it will go for review [06:28] anyone know if there's a freenx channel on freenode? Not seeing anything on the channel list, and I'm trying to get compositing working on ubuntu-server sessions hosted via freenx [06:28] Theadmin: it goes to moderation but essentially yeah [06:29] Kane_Hart, How much work do you want to do? [06:29] acovrig FYI, those hjkl bindings also work in gmail (with the keyboard option set to yes) [06:29] Hey I'm in bactrack 4, and I can possibly seem to be able to join WEP networks [06:29] Nazagul: backtrack isn't supported here [06:30] AAA, cool, I use Gmail alot [06:30] granted, but it seems to be a generic problem with ALL of my linux distro [06:30] Nazagul, What is the WEP Password? [06:30] lol [06:30] I have the HEX not the passphrase [06:30] Nazagul: backtrack has its own channel [06:30] I really hope ubuntu-ops likes my edit request :) [06:30] !backtrack [06:30] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [06:30] acovrig using hk and x and y make gmail mutt-like :) [06:30] Nazagul: Backtrack is NOT supported, it has it's own channel somewhere. [06:30] a3ist: it looks quite small, but #nx exists [06:30] okay I see if I can find it [06:30] thank you anyways [06:30] acovrig jk I meant... [06:31] Nazagul, Did you backtrack into a WEP Network? [06:31] Nazagul: /join #backtrack-linux [06:31] Hello, I am working on building out my Ubuntu work desktop, and just as I am nearing completion it looks like something broke. I am using 10.04, and the boot process proceeds as it normally should until it launches the 'ubuntu' GUI screen and then i lose my monitors and the whole thing dies on me. It used to work fine, and my belief is that a change I made prior to the reboot by asking ubuntu to 'automatically log in as username' broke the [06:31] feature. Now I can log in with recovery mode as root, but I do not know how to undo the change and retest. Can anyone suggest how I should proceed? [06:31] How do I enable ssh? [06:31] how to ping my other pc?? so i don't have to keep switching my monitor and keybord and mouse back and forth?? [06:32] xae8koo: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [06:32] xae8koo, apt-get install openssh-server [06:32] lol, guess ActionParsnip beat me to it [06:32] stupidnics: ping name or ping ip [06:32] stupidnics: err, "ping hostname" or "ping ip" (example: "ping google.com" or "ping 8.8.8.8" [06:33] stupidnics: its the same as any other system. Ping is a defacto standard command throughout [06:33] ping [06:33] stupidnics: pong [06:33] stupidnics: in a terminal. Nor irc channel ;) [06:33] lol [06:33] *not [06:33] xd [06:33] stupidnics, Uh.... Are you trying to share the keyboard/mouse? [06:33] stupidnics doesn't sound like the ping command is what you are looking for [06:34] How do I see the ip of someone connected to my computer via ssh? [06:34] stupidnics this is one computer you want to manipulate, correct> [06:34] xae8koo w [06:34] xae8koo - `who` [06:34] xae8koo, syslog [06:34] imam [06:35] any of the above.... [06:35] no i'm trying to share the internet with another pc from this pc === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [06:35] acovrig: who didn't give me an ip... [06:35] and i just wanted a way to verify and set it up without switching all this crap over to check and set things [06:35] I don't know where the syslog is... [06:36] stupidnics aha, you have serverA with a connection to the internet and serverB that wants to connect directly to serverA and access the internet? [06:36] !ics | stupidnics [06:36] stupidnics: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [06:36] yes [06:36] xae8koo /var/log/ [06:36] xae8koo, did u try `w` that someone recommended [06:36] stupidnics follow the above link. that require iptables rules [06:36] -.- [06:37] that is extreamly confusing, maybe i'll get firestarter... [06:37] xae8koo: netstat -a | grep ssh ,may show it. Or netstat -a | grep 22 [06:37] is there anyway to run cron right now? [06:37] how do i backup my tomboy notes on lucid? [06:37] manually [06:37] stupidnics typically you'll plug your laptop into a router/switch and dhcp will give you an address [06:38] how do install Ubuntu over a network using Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop i386 CD? [06:38] Stupidnics: well, you are essentially programming a router, so it will have some difficulty [06:38] Error404NotFound: setup a pxe server [06:38] stupidnics in the situation you describe you need to manually set serverB's IP address and route [06:38] Error404NotFound: or use the minimal cd to install using the www [06:38] fuzzybunny69y Cron runs every second. === sumedh is now known as optimus_p [06:39] ActionParsnip, most pxe howto's ask for a pxelinux.0 fire which isn't in the Desktop CD. [06:39] but do i use the ip from the internet pc's nic or the router ip? [06:39] None works [06:39] stupidnics the fix is simple. you just need to set an iptables jump route for the serverB computer. google, or firestarter can help you make those configs. in reality it is a one line iptables command [06:39] pnunn, hmm I can see it doing stuff in the logs but I am not sure how to get it to run my php file [06:39] Error404NotFound: I've seen vids online of pxe boots. Could bother them but its definately possible [06:40] How can I see everything connected? [06:40] hay anybody knows how to restore the tomboy notes on lucid [06:40] ? [06:40] optimus_p: can you clarify "restore" please [06:40] and giving me a one line command line might not work for me if you just give it to me? [06:40] optimus_p: what exacctly is the problem? [06:40] stupidnics the default gw on serverB is the the same default gw that server1 has [06:41] fuzzybunny69y google is your friend... you need to edit the cron.. as root, crontab -l, then add your script in the correct format, and cron will run it for you. [06:41] hwo do I have irssi run a cmd on HILIGHT [06:41] fuzzybunny69y: there's gnome-schedule too for a gui. I believe it edits the root cron if you launch it with gksudo / kdesu [06:41] does any one know how to ssh/ssh -x in a ad-hoc network [06:42] Hello, I am working on building out my Ubuntu work desktop, and just as I am nearing completion it looks like something broke. I am using 10.04, and the boot process proceeds as it normally should until it launches the 'ubuntu' GUI screen and then i lose my monitors and the whole thing dies on me. It used to work fine, and my belief is that a change I made prior to the reboot by asking ubuntu to 'automatically log in as username' broke the [06:42] feature. Now I can log in with recovery mode as root, but I do not know how to undo the change and retest. Can anyone suggest how I should proceed? [06:42] its still erroring up when i try running wubi.... [06:42] ActionParsnip, adarsha oh, i want to sync all my tomboy notes, which i have backed up before installing lucid [06:42] stupidnics I don't have the command handy. what I am saying is you need to make an iptable rule that forwards traffic from the same network you serverB is on to the default gw on serverA [06:43] stupidnics you probably need to add the route also. google will help you, I can't [06:43] in a normal local network i can do this but not inside a ad-hoc why? [06:43] studio: same as any network: ssh -X user@address ,the network technology is moot, as long as there is a logical link it doesn't matter if its adhoc or infastructure [06:43] studio do what? [06:43] geez [06:43] hwo do I have irssi run a cmd on HILIGHT [06:44] firestarter is just a firewall, further complicating things -.- [06:44] optimus_p: i'd assume just copy the data you copied back over the top of what is standing now. I don't use tomboy [06:44] acovrig /help hilight [06:44] Studio: with adhoc you need to define ip addresses and subnets manually as there is no dhcp server [06:44] optimus_p: sorry, i'm not sure about that.. :( [06:45] how do i find the iptable? [06:45] optimus_p: how did u backup the notes? [06:45] ActionParsnip, adarsha ok no brob.. [06:45] adarsha, yeah [06:45] stupidnics you must setup an iptables rule on serverA to forward traffic to the default gateway from serverB's network [06:45] stupidnics: the ics factoid ubottu gave tells you how to set sharing up. Its not a simple task and isn't fixed with one command [06:45] stupidnics iptables is beyon the scope of my help here [06:46] stupidnics but you should be able to google up a solution [06:46] !oldster | XFGoldenBBL [06:46] damn [06:46] XFGoldenBBL: Please don't do that [06:46] ttfn [06:46] adarsha, i guess u can copy the .tomboy folder [06:47] i get that aaa can't help me, and the how to doesn't tell me the command to list ip's connected to this pc, so i can tell slave pc which is the shared ip... [06:47] optimus_p: oh, did u try copying the backed up contents back to the .tomboy folder in lucid? [06:47] Sup fellas [06:48] i need to find out which modem has what ip and then tell slave pc to use the ip..correct? [06:48] hallo [06:48] is there a known issue with macbook touchpads and 10.04? [06:48] when i try running wubi, I get "exception processing message c0000013 parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6b7c75b6bf7c"in a window that says Windows - No Disk, with options cancel try agian and continue, [06:49] yea, the firewall returned a hit that gave me the host ip.... [06:49] surry .. night [06:49] hmm [06:49] Does anyone know a way to create a bootable windows install disk from Ubuntu, if I have the image (.iso) of my OEM windows disk? [06:49] I'm using 10.04 [06:50] brb, switching things over..again... [06:51] I basically need the Ubuntu equivalent of ImgBurn [06:51] cant you just [06:51] click on the iso and it will bring up brasero or something [06:52] No, because I need it bootable [06:52] so the image is not bootable? [06:52] the iso should already be bootable [06:52] yeah [06:52] Doesn't seem to be [06:53] is your bios setup to boot from dvd/cd drive before harddrive? [06:53] Yes, of course :P [06:53] ;) you never know... hmm [06:53] stupidnics did you check your /var/log/samba/ logs? [06:53] Dude [06:53] yer [06:53] It is [06:54] obviously you didnt just chuck the .iso in the root dir of the cd right? [06:54] No, it isn't just a .iso on a disk [06:54] hmmm [06:54] i've had no issues burning bootable images with 10.04 [06:55] me neither to be honest [06:55] Is there a way to forcibly flag the cd as bootable? [06:55] stupidnics you mentioned slave computers, I assumed those are samba shares? [06:56] you could test if the iso boots with virtualbox, setup a quick virtual machine and mount the image within virtualbox, see if it works? [06:56] yeah [06:56] I'll try that now, ty [06:56] that would def be the way to go, id suspect the image itself [06:57] !macbook [06:57] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [06:57] noo [06:57] !touchpad [06:57] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [06:57] yeah me too, if that doesn't work theres somthing wrong with the image [06:57] k back, checking [06:59] i do have a question myself, i get a lot of tearing on the ubuntu desktop. I've checked vsync is set for my hardware and such but it still does it [06:59] running a 5770 here [06:59] Hi. I have texlive-latex-extra installed, but when I \usepackage{schedule} (for example -- tried with others), I get "LaTeX Error: File `schedule.sty' not found". What should I fix there to let pdflatex know where to check? [07:00] whois rwat [07:00] Any fluent OS X users in here? [07:00] digital_root /whois [07:00] I am fairly fluent on os x. [07:01] I figure to find any reliable UNIX tech support, ask the Ubuntu geeks. [07:01] is osX some kind of soap ? [07:01] I was just given a HP Ultrium 460 external tape drive, and was wondering how Ubuntu does with scsi adapters. Is there anything I need to watch out for? [07:01] My school is almost completely Mac, but all computers are restored from an image made by Dataseam.

[07:02] Anyway, it works fine in VB [07:02] So the image is fine [07:02] How do I PM so no one has to has to listen to my conversation publicly? [07:02] hi, what is the proper way of burning img file to dvd? [07:02] LordHawke13: there is ##mac [07:03] do i just rename it to iso then burn it? [07:03] Parabola, PM me. [07:03] LordHawke13, /notice or /message [07:03] XFGoldenBBL, Riverthief|2, thanx [07:03] np [07:05] LordHawke13: I was kind of being jerky ... but yeah ##mac may have more help for you on imaging a mac than ubuntu does 0.o [07:05] ok, got it. In Lucid, texlive-latex-extra does not include "calendar" and "schedule" anymore! Where will I find these, then? And why were they removed? [07:06] How do I install Java?? which package is correct? open jdk? [07:06] i'm a total noob and accidentally deleted the sound icon thing on my top toolbar [07:06] synesp, enable the partner repo [07:06] how do I get it back?

Any ideas? [07:17] XFGoldenBBL, can you upgrade it because I can't get my vpn working it wont let me import my openvpn config file [07:18] peleg: texlive-pstricks has pst-calendar, if that'll work for you. But yes, sty files can be used by simply placing them in your working directory [07:18] Flannel: it is crappy .. I manually set eth1 to an ip and it is is up but unknown and wont ping/respond to pings ... [07:18] XFGoldenBBL: That may be, but it had nothing to do with his question. [07:18] pushpop ii network-manager 0.8-0ubuntu3 network management framework daemon [07:19] set eth1 to automatic in network manager and whoa it works .. Crappy [07:19] Flannel, yes, but packages should help me not doing that :) -- besides, why would one REMOVE them from a package, when they were already there? [07:19] peleg: Were they? Let me look. [07:19] !iscsi [07:19] AAA, Thank you, OK so it is the latest darn. Any idea why I can import my openvpn file? I can import it but it never gives me the apply [07:19] hello, does anyone know why full screen does not work on youtube? using adobe flash and firefox in 10.04 [07:20] Really thats such a basic .. and I totally boiled it down from what the wiki had [07:20] Flannel, http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/intrepid/texlive-latex-extra -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/lucid/texlive-latex-extra [07:21] Hey can someone tell me what's wrong with my sony dwz walkman mounting? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/225952/ [07:21] thecube: Not sure what you mean by |does not work| but http://xavimila.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/adobe-flash-player-problems-with-fullscreen-mode-in-firefox-and-ubuntu-9-04/ [07:21] i cant find it on google, can someone _Please_ shed some light on why the touchpad on my macbook only on 10.04 doesnt work very well? [07:22] ... any help with my ethernet? [07:22] it moves, but i have to like beat it to get it to work [07:22] and i cant move it more than an inch at a time [07:22] will there be a problem formatting a usb drive as xfs? or should I keep them fat or ext4 [07:22] soreau: when i click on the fullscreen button, nothing happens [07:22] peleg: I'm looking at the changelog (http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/t/texlive-extra/texlive-extra_2009-7ubuntu3/changelog), (from 2007.dfsg.3-2 to present), and I can't see any notes about dropping those. [07:23] sharat87: what is the problem, I missed it. [07:23] peleg: It might be an oversight, have you considered filing a bug? [07:23] massmc fat32 is a universally accept format. stick with that unless you have cause to do other === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:23] greezmunkey: just installed lucid on Dell inspiron and the eth0 entry does not come up in the nm-applet menu [07:23] sharat87: paste the contents of /etc/network/interfaces [07:24] greezmunkey: booting into live cd now.. to see if it works there.. [07:24] Flannel, sure, why not. Never done this before, though. Any tips before I'm starting? [07:24] !bugs > peleg [07:24] peleg, please see my private message [07:24] peleg: ubottu just sent you a paragraph, the ReportingBugs page has some good info [07:25] Flannel, thanks [07:25] peleg: and if you have questions, feel free to ask the channel [07:26] !iscsi [07:26] XFGoldenBBL: Please stop that. [07:26] lol what do you wanna know about iscsi [07:26] how to install purple-Gammu? [07:26] i know it rolls off the tongue and it's soo exciting to say, but come on lol [07:27] greezmunkey: interfaces file contents http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/v642htD5 [07:27] is there any app i can install for free for fingerprints....... [07:27] sum42guy2k: What do you mean 'for fingerprints'? [07:27] I dont remember most of my passwords [07:27] Flannel: I think the dude wants a fingerprint scanner [07:27] sum42guy2k: You mean to use a fingerprint reader? [07:27] I got the scanner [07:27] sharat87: that's normal - have we done this before? [07:27] I want to know if theres something i need to install [07:28] sum42guy2k: Look into the thinkfinger package. Once you've installed it, read the README.Debian file for further instructions on getting it set up [07:28] iscsi: I know enough about it ... I have a win7 install against it .. some others may come in asking questions though and they may like to know something [07:28] greezmunkey: yes.. it is a fresh install.. yesterday it was running karmic, on which the ethernet was working just fine.. [07:28] Thanks [07:28] sum42guy2k: You can check google to see if your fingerprint reader model is supported by thinkfinger too [07:28] greezmunkey: that was karmic live.. [07:28] uhhhh....i dont have a model [07:28] its built in [07:29] sum42guy2k: See the output of lspci to figure out what it is [07:29] sharat87: so it worked under karmic, not lucid? [07:29] funny that a legitimate !bleh won;t be added to the ubottu [07:29] greezmunkey: yep.. [07:29] Thanks guys, appreciate it [07:29] sharat87: paste the output of dmesg please, under karmic [07:30] greezmunkey: shall I boot into karmic live...? [07:30] sharat87: the ethernet adapter doesn't work in karmic live? If so yes please paste it. [07:31] YouTube works perfectly in Ubuntu 10.4 [07:32] jk70: And with 10.10 it will hopfully work perfectly out of the box (webm) [07:32] webm? [07:33] Depends on yhe Nightly Build [07:33] xtknight: http://www.webmproject.org/ [07:33] Hmm.. well html5 hopefully :-) [07:33] I have to admit, 9.10 worked pretty good. [07:34] yeah google bought on2 and now needs something to do with it lol [07:35] Pretty dead here today. [07:35] i know, idle time in #ubuntu should be offtopic though...hopefully that's okay...rather than getting repeatedly notified i shouldn't have my mouth open ;P [07:36] greezmunkey: sorry.. my system crashed.. anyway.. ethernet works on karmic, but not on lucid.. and here is dmesg on the lucid.. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hNuDFt3u [07:36] hello [07:36] AgentChaos, Evenin'. [07:36] greezmunkey: we don't have the karmic's cd at hand right now.. so can't try it out.. [07:36] does anyone know how I can decode a encoded wsd::filter file [07:37] AgentChaos, what? [07:37] AgentChaos what does file say? [07:37] i have a cgi file that is encoded and in the beginning it says Use WSD::Filter [07:38] AgentChaos file, aka magic file can tell you [07:38] where can i get that? [07:38] AgentChaos sounds like a perl module maybe? [07:38] AAA, it is. [07:38] AgentChaos should be default [07:38] AgentChaos, ?? http://bytes.com/topic/perl/answers/874979-strange-code-dont-know-what-does-do [07:38] maybe that can help [07:39] xtknight, No, that would not help. He needs to have the module itself, not the script pointing to it and using it [07:39] AgentChaos strings may be of help [07:39] AgentChaos, Why do you need the wsd::filter? [07:39] AgentChaos not knowing what file says about the file leaves me crippled [07:39] Sc00t3r, well that site says it's called DynaLoader, so [07:40] xtknight, It is also encoded to be a program, which it gets encoded to binary to be run as a program. [07:40] what? [07:40] lol [07:40] xtknight, Nevermind. [07:40] so how can i open the actual code inside that file [07:40] AgentChaos what is the file in question? [07:40] xtknight, In other words, DynaLoader = bad. [07:41] AgentChaos, Simply, you can't. [07:41] how can i manually delete session files? [07:41] greezmunkey: any ideas? [07:41] so it's to obfuscate or protect the cgi i guess? [07:41] AgentChaos you can, for sure, get ascii data from binary files [07:42] AAA, Which isn't exactly a good thing if he didn't make the wsd::filter.. [07:42] Sc00t3r I must not know the end goal. my bad [07:42] nobody knows the end goal [07:43] AAA, I'm not completely sure either; I've never really seen this thing. [07:43] AAA, But apparently, it can be -harmful-. [07:43] AgentChaos, Again, why do you need it to be decoded? [07:43] Sc00t3r my 'page up' isn't working now. do you have a pastebin URL to catch me up?> [07:43] i get a lot of tearing on the ubuntu desktop. I've checked vsync is set for my hardware and such but it still does it.. running a 5770 here [07:44] sharat87: yeah, there are some errors starting at line 747, but they are related to the wireless driver. [07:44] electronics-cat, Do you have the latest Catalyst instal from http://www.ati.amd.com? [07:44] hold on dude [07:44] get ascii data from binary files how do i do that? [07:44] AAA, Hahah', no I don't actually.. [07:44] lol [07:44] i didnt encode that file, someone else did [07:45] AgentChaos, If you didn't encode the file, you're not going to be able to decode it yourself; I'd talk to the guy who -did- encode it. [07:45] its part of a file uploading script [07:45] greezmunkey: yeah.. we have been trying to get the wireless to run at least.. but it seems to need some drivers which we need internet to install :) [07:45] i have the ccc driver that comes with ubuntu 10.04 [07:45] electronics-cat, Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't come with a CCC driver. It's best to install the latest one from their site. [07:45] hmmm [07:45] maybe thats what i did cant remember lol [07:46] can i just install the latest over what is already there? [07:46] Sc00t3r pm me if you want my drunken input; else good night :) [07:46] or is upgrading it a more involved process [07:46] sharat87: line 624 is where the ethernet driver kicks in... [07:46] electronics-cat, It should upgrade it in the process. [07:46] cool ill look into it thanks [07:46] electronics-cat, ubuntu 10.04 has fglrx drivers....didnt you just install it from hardware drivers [07:46] AAA, Good night. ;3 === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:46] xtknight, that is what i did [07:47] electronics-cat, make sure its using the fglrx drivers and not the ati/radeon ones [07:47] greezmunkey: so, we have the ethernet driver.. and we see the `Auto eth0` entry in the `Edit Connections` window.. but not in the menu.. [07:47] bisby, He -should- be using the Radeon ones from the site, since they make ones for Linux. [07:47] ati/radeon is the name of the open source ati drivers, you dont want to use those..you want to use fglrx (firegl/rxxx) [07:47] i heard there are heaps of ongoing screen tearing vsync issues with the proprietary drivers :/ [07:47] Sc00t3r, the "Radeon" ones are the open source ones that dont support 3d very well arent they? The fglrx ones are the official ones [07:48] so im really confused about what to install lol [07:48] yeah vsync has always been a difficult thing to get working [07:48] bisby, If they are installed from ATI's website, it should be fine. I used it, and I was able to run Direct3D 9 applications through WINE. [07:48] greezmunkey: I am not sure.. but should've it mentioned something about trying to get the IP address for the ethernet or something..? [07:48] electronics-cat, Give me a second, I'll give you a link to the download. What version of Linux do you have? [07:48] electronics-cat, i have an 5870 and the radeon ones didnt work for me. but i didnt notice tearing with fglrx. [07:48] electronics-cat, 32-bit or 64-bit? [07:48] Hi. I really need to get rid of this popup dialog when I have marked a URL or something. You know the dialog with "send to firefox" send to bla bla.. [07:48] Sc00t3r, the ATI's website ones are the fglrx ones not the ones entitled "Radeon" [07:48] Sc00t3r, x86_64 [07:48] 10.04 [07:48] Okay, so 64-bit. [07:49] how do i know if it is the radeon or fglrx [07:49] i just installed the 'hardware drivers' one [07:49] sharat87: I'm looking into thaat now, brb... [07:49] that ubuntu suggested [07:49] electronics-cat, type this in the console: "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep -i fglrx" [07:49] https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-5-x86.x86_64.run [07:49] and then if you see any lines like FGLRX(0);..... you're using the proprietary [07:50] yeah there are HEAPS of lines [07:50] that's good :) [07:50] some of my letters become block rectangle when I use sans fonts [07:50] saying fglrx(0) [07:50] reinstalling didnt help [07:50] How do i set up Gwibber with facebook? its not asking for my username and password. I can click authorize and then that takes me back to where i started. [07:50] loopidity, That means the symbol isn't supported. [07:50] I can someone help me please? i'm having a problem with my updates I keep getting errors whenever i try to update. It says W: GPG error: http://www.ae.archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates release: then goe on to say I have some invalid signatures. im running x64 Lucid [07:51] how do i try out fglrx [07:51] is it something that will be fixed with update? [07:51] electronics-cat, [url=https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-5-x86.x86_64.run]This[/url] is a link to the x64 drivers for Linux. [07:51] loopidity, when do the blocks appear? when you press what characters? [07:51] stknight this time its u [07:51] ^^ That didn't work too well for BBCode ^^ [07:51] but it changes [07:52] loopidity, oh that's pretty weird....uhh....well i know font rendering has to do with the pango library, but that's it..do you have a locale other than United States-English set? [07:52] When I mark a URL, I get a popup with "Open with Firefox", "Send URL" and so on. How can I disable this? [07:52] .. [07:53] electronics-cat, You have to run that .run file from console to install. Just navigate to the folder containing it (usually, just type 'cd Downloads' into the terminal to get to the default Downloads folder) [07:53] xtknight where can i check it? i am outta states if that matters [07:53] ok [07:53] ill run this installer [07:53] electronics-cat, Then, just type in 'sudo sh "drivername.run". That should run it, and you just have to accept and such. [07:53] yeah i know how to run it brb [07:53] thnx [07:53] loopidity, oh, ok.. where are you? an asian country? you might need extra fonts. most european languages are set to begin with... [07:53] electronics-cat, No problem. [07:54] loopidity, i dont know if it tried to autodetect your location or what happened...im sure it has something to do with it [07:54] xtknight currently in europe [07:54] if this doesnt work how can i get onto using [07:54] that fglrx driver [07:54] electronics-cat, That is the fglrx driver, I think. [07:55] hello [07:55] loopidity, but you're saying random text has blocks in it? it changes? not certain characters have blocks? [07:55] xtknight mostly it u, but it changes [07:55] is the .bash_profile located in the /home alone or elsewhere..can't find it in my /home [07:56] loopidity, are you sure your hardware is reliable? it could be your ram honestly [07:56] a5h15h it might be .bashrc that you are looking for [07:56] loopidity, it's a very strange problem especially if reinstalling doesn't fix it and if it occurs with random characters. but i'm not saying it's hardware. it's probably more likely software. [07:56] loopidity: are they same? [07:56] xtknight what package should i reinstall exactly? i will redo it [07:56] and is only to do with the sans font [07:57] loopidity, oh, umm, i dont know. many packages could be implicated in that problem. pango, cairo, xft, or the actual sans font package could be the main ones. but i dont really know. [07:58] loopidity, did you say earlier that you tried a reinstall of ubuntu? [07:58] not ubuntu [07:58] just the sans fonts [07:58] reinstall of what? === rabidweezle is now known as Type-O [07:58] ok [07:59] on synatpik the ttfs [07:59] loopidity, there are font configuration scripts, i dont know the name of them right now. but there's one that runs that 'reconfigures' all the fonts. you could try running this one [07:59] ok, i will google it [07:59] might be fontconfig [07:59] ok [07:59] voglster: hi [08:00] voglster: is the .bash_profile located in the /home alone or elsewhere..can't find it in my /home [08:00] does anyone know of a simple program that will let me type something and automatically record when it was written. sort of a journal format [08:00] <[Screamo]> Anyone here use Minitube on 10.04? [08:00] test [08:01] [Screamo], yea actually [08:01] <[Screamo]> i cant get it to play video [08:01] [Screamo], you need to install some extra libraries for it to install [08:01] k one sec [08:01] <[Screamo]> it installs and plays audio [08:01] <[Screamo]> but i just get a black screen [08:02] a5h15h it is not there in the home dir [08:02] ah, rednotebook looks like it might be good [08:02] [Screamo], try these commands: sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [08:02] sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-xine [08:02] guys my mic is'nt working any idea how i can fix this [08:03] ubuntu_ terminal alsamixer [08:03] ubuntu_ tab [08:03] [Screamo], i also think the ubuntu package didnt work for me. you can try downloading the newer one from the official website at (which also had the apt-get instructions): http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube [08:03] loopidity: i'm reading this tut about bash..it says so [08:03] ubuntu_ and set the input to microphone [08:03] <[Screamo]> Package phonon-backend-xine is not installed, so not removed [08:03] tat's ok [08:03] a5h15h it could be old one, and is not specifically for ubuntu [08:04] [Screamo], did you get the other ones *installed* (phonon-.....gstreamer...) [08:04] <[Screamo]> and phonon-backend-gstreamer gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad are allready installed and newest version [08:04] a5h15h if you wanna edit the bash profile for you, edit the .bashrc file [08:04] loopidity: k [08:04] [Screamo], okay, uninstall minitube from repositories. then download the official at their site [08:04] a5h15h if you want to edit globally edit /etc/bash.bashrc [08:04] <[Screamo]> xtknight ive tried that alread [08:04] a5h15h although i would not recommend it [08:05] [Screamo], strange. im not sure whats wrong then [08:05] hey [08:06] loopidity: k...thanks a lot [08:06] <[Screamo]> xtknight, minitube_1.0-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2_i386.deb ?

[08:06] a5h15h u r welcome [08:06] AAA, i asked it :) [08:06] [Screamo], the one from launchpad? yea that's exactly the one im using [08:06] can i get help with lucid? [08:06] itheos I would use alsamixer to debug [08:07] Maple12, yes you can [08:07] <[Screamo]> well lets try this again [08:07] AAA, i tried but everything looked normal [08:07] [Screamo], you're sure you uninstalled the other one first right...because if you have two..it might still be running the older one. sorry, have to ask [08:07] hello.. i have removed kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu but when i restart pc it shows kde login and it says kubuntu at boot.. whats wrong [08:07] anyway to restart the sound demon or something ?? xD [08:07] ok.ok well, every few minutes or so from starting [08:07] itheos, pulseaudio -k [08:07] itheos you typed alsamixer in a terminal and turn the volume all the way up? [08:07] xtknight, and that will do what? [08:07] <[Screamo]> yes it is uninstalled [08:07] AAA, yes [08:08] itheos, it restarts a pulseaudio user session. is that what you wanted? what's going on with your sound? [08:08] the screen blanks and gives a command prompt, stating "Check Batter State ... [OK]" [08:08] xtknight, ok thanks let me try === rabidweezle is now known as Type-O [08:08] does anyone know the name of an open source in-browser presentation software system?

[08:08] itheos hrm. and you have 0 sound? how does yhou sound find a speaker? physical topolgy? [08:09] AAA, yes i have 0 sound. the alsomixer shows everything is fine === feisar__ is now known as feisar [08:09] itheos if alsamixer lets you change values, then you need to change your client app to use alsa [08:10] xtknight, didnt work :( [08:10] itheos, what sound adapter do you have [08:10] itheos use the alsa option with you client [08:10] <[Screamo]> xtknight, still no video [08:10] <[Screamo]> ive got sound and can seek into the video [08:10] . [08:10] itheos, is everything configured right for pulseaudio, do you see a speaker icon? can you go into preferences, select stereo output, raise the volume, and so on? [08:10] itheos sounds like you are using OSS or another sound manager [08:10] xtknight, this Check Batery State is becoming a problem for me. i just got crashed from a game server when it happened [08:11] [Screamo], it would imply you're either missing a codec or a video output device isnt working...umm, can you start minitube from the console to see if it spits any errors to the console? [08:11] xtknight, yes i see everything. everything is fine. just no sound at all :( [08:11] hello.. i have removed kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu but when i restart pc it shows kde login and it says kubuntu at boot.. whats wrong * [08:11] AAA, how to find the manager? === feisar is now known as f3isar [08:11] Maple12, hmmm i have no idea what that means? are you on a laptop/ [08:11] itheos tell your client to use alsa, because you can manipulate the volume settings with alsamixer [08:11] itheos, are you trying to watch something over HDMI? [08:11] no. i'm running Lucid on a desktop computer === f3isar is now known as feisar [08:12] AAA, i am using also. i can change settings in alsamixer [08:12] itheos what app are you trying to use with this?

[08:13] itheos does youtube sound work? [08:13] abuayyoub, yes :) [08:13] <[Screamo]> xtknight, but everything else plays video perfectly [08:13] <[Screamo]> =/ [08:13] i've done that, but it still crashes [08:13] restart, use alsamixer, see if recording works, and try skype ubuntu_ [08:13] AAA, no. no sound at all anywhere [08:13] [Screamo], yea, well it could also be something with phonon(a Qt video plugin not used very often)..ummm.. still, what video card/drivers?

[09:03] meybe the motherboard's battery is being used as what's being checked [09:04] i've asked on the forums about the problem, but nobody seems to reply. i've already bumped it 4 times. [09:05] Maple12, i dont know. it's very strange. but it has to do with ACPI im pretty sure [09:06] Maple12, i dont think it should be the CMOS battery. it's possible. but probably ACPI is telling ubuntu your system is a laptop, or ubuntu's not reading it right. google "buggy ACPI tables" you'll see lots [09:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=257912 [09:06] and there are ways to fix them, but it's pretty technically involved. [09:06] disable acpi [09:06] oh [09:06] oops [09:06] you could try that [09:06] but lots of things might not work [09:07] well how do i access my system's ACPI settings first? [09:08] Maple12, umm you can't really access them, you might be able to disable ACPI entirely from the BIOS. but just try the parameters "acpi=off noacpi" on the linux kernel command line [09:08] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man4/acpi.4freebsd.html [09:08] good luck its a man page [09:08] Maple12, it may be that the motherboard had something soldered into it (ok, more like flashed) that says ur system is a laptop.

[09:16] paradoxx: If you are already familiar with vi, I'd recommend you try vim [09:17] geirha, whats the difference? [09:17] paradoxx: vim works well for me. i like the fact that it can open very large files [09:17] joe ftw :) [09:17] kpel, you can't do that in emacs? [09:17] paradoxx: Lots of improvements, syntax highlighting, smart indenting etc... [09:18] is mandriva better than ubuntu [09:18] a5h15h: btw, used configuration files are usually found at the end of a manpage, in the files section. Check there to see which files your shell really reads on start. [09:18] geirha, so vim vs emacs. Why would I use one or the other. I've been reading comparisons but none really give me a good reason for one or the other [09:18] ubuntu_: Is an apple better than a pear?

[09:19] ubuntu_: It depends on your point of view, it comes down to what suits each person. If you want to discuss the question, its probably best asking in #ubuntu-offtopic though [09:19] sure it is [09:19] a5h15h: yes .bashrc sounds better [09:19] paradoxx: The best way to know is to try them both for a while, and see which suits you best ...

[09:23] RudyValencia: a word processor ? openoffice or abiword (lighter) [09:23] a5h15h: but if you grasped the overall concept of unix shells, next best bet is usually the manfile [09:24] erUSUL: WordPad, that lightweight, very basic word processor that comes with Windows. [09:24] a5h15h, afaik .profile will call .bashrc from there you can config your setting or call additional one [09:24] soreau: shutdown for example :) [09:24] RudyValencia: give Abiword a try [09:24] er 10.04 liveCD. I dont get a "test this cd" choice. This is what I get: a blue screen with some icons at the lower edge (looks like a piece of film, an arrow to the right, then a stick-figure man) --- after that ... get window asking me to install or try it. Clicking the X in the corner gives me the fuzzy splashscreen and nothing. [this is the second cd I have burnt from a perfect iso-file] PLEASE HELP ME. ---> What should I be seeing? Should I see the scre [09:24] en like from 6.10 and 9.04 that I have used before with a set of text lines and to chose from that set of things (no mouse) what I want, INCLUDING TEST THIS CD. >?? [09:24] TinoW: That doesnt even make sense. The box is going into an inoperable state [09:25] here is the command i use : ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1200 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 test.mkv [09:25] soreau: with shutdown you could get the same effect ;) === fluffymaster is now known as apachelogger [09:26] goCat: sounds like a lot of data [09:27] goCat: along 260MB/s [09:28] TinoW: yes, but on a core I7 i think i can expect more than 2fps. But my problem is that ffmpeg only use one core... :-( [09:28] goCat: and around 200MB/s going to the disks [09:28] what is the first screen I should see in 10.04 ? Please tell me. Or link me. I need to know how to test the goodness of this CD. What is going wrong? [09:28] goCat: no I don't think your platter can handle that [09:28] I've not had a problem with burning CD's before this. [09:29] TinoW : ok. What parameter would you use to make a screencast with this resolution ? [09:29] goCat: you could experiment with some compression schemes so find a good balance between CPU usage and output data stream [09:30] !java [09:30] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [09:30] tripelb: You should initially see this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/Screenshot-1.png for about the first 5 seconds, if you press any key within that time you should see this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/Screenshot-2.png and after selecting English, this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/Screenshot-3.png [09:30] TinoW: The box IS NOT being shutdown. It is shutting everything else out like PINGS on ETHERNET cable [09:30] TinoW : ok, i will try other options. Just one question : is it really possible to use more than one core with ffmpeg on ubuntu (or linux mint ) ? [09:30] Jordan_U, thanks. I'm off to look at it. [09:31] SO you cant ping the box after a couple hours like its completely not there [09:31] soreau: well your question was about a program doing this and the shutdown command was my suggestion. I think you'd need to rephrase your question to get the answer you like :) Btw, did you check the logs? [09:32] TinoW: I did not see anything out of the ordinary in syslog but Im so angry, I cant even see straght [09:32] straight* [09:32] I have a strange problem. When I use the wired connection, and no wireless connection, and listening to music via Spotify. So stop the music not to play. But when I select wireless, so usually after the same number of minutes (that's weird!) It stops working. I'm sorry, but I can not be more precise than this. Anybody have any idea about this? The computer still has internet access so there is no connection problem. [09:32] soreau: try to setup syslog to logg to another host so you can get the last entries before the box dies [09:32] -g [09:33] I hate old intel chipsets and Lucid. it continues to assume i'm on a laptop. [09:33] goCat: sorry I have no idea :) [09:33] TinoW : ok, thanks, i'll try the ffmpeg forum again :-) [09:34] and it continues t check for a non-existing battery. why do the users getting this problem have Nvidea and get more support than the Pentium 4 Dells? [09:34] Jordan_U, YES. #1 is the (film to little man). Is it too much to ask to "Use Words!". Manatee! I've been asking about that image here for weeks. I'll go reboot and see if I can get the choice to test the cd. -/me exclaims "Louise!" [09:34] soreau: Could it be suspending? Can you interact with the computer through the keyboard / screen? [09:34] hi [09:35] how can i find out which wlan-card i'm using? [09:35] jan_: lspci | grep -i net or lshw -C Network [09:35] jan_: Is it a built in card or a usb card? [09:35] trollboy: The reason why it doesn't use words is that it needs to be understandable in any language, you be the judge if they succeeded... [09:36] what? [09:37] Jordan_U: I dont know since it doesnt have any i/o connected other than network stuff [09:37] good morning Ubuntu community [09:37] Jordan_U: Why would it suspend by itself? [09:37] anyone ever used justhost for hosting? [09:37] Hi, I need help [09:37] Jordan_U, You just blew everyone's mind [09:37] or ipage [09:37] hi, i am in ubuntu moblin remix liveCD. It askes me to login, but what is the username and password?? [09:37] trollboy: That little man is the symbol for accessability, and to the left of him is a picture of a keyboard. Which is supposed to tell you that pressing any key will bring you to the accessability menu. [09:38] Jordan_U, what are you talking about? [09:38] trollboy: Sorry, wrong nick [09:38] help!

I try to update my system and then Debconf bugged when I try to install GRUB, i try to close the window to try again but I cant, what is the name of the process to close it plz. [09:39] I have a problem, during shutdown my graphics card sometimes makes a weird resolution change and ubuntu progress showing logo (ubuntu logo and points below it) goes corrupt and computer hangs and does not shutdown.. how can I disable graphical shutdown so that I see what is going wrong ? [09:40] How can I allow a specific person to see mee when invisible in Pidgin? [09:40] can anyone help me with this dilemma: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1510430 it's common for dual Nvidea cards and old Intel chipsets [09:40] ascewev: Define "bugged out". [09:43] we are all askers and no answerers today :) [09:43] tom-ubuntu: what's up ? [09:43] I have a problem, during shutdown my graphics card sometimes makes a weird resolution change and ubuntu progress showing logo (ubuntu logo and points below it) goes corrupt and computer hangs and does not shutdown.. how can I disable graphical shutdown so that I see what is going wrong ? [09:43] i am on irc from ctrl + alt + f1 + irssi .. lol :) [09:44] ttyt: why is that funny ? [09:44] tom-ubuntu: you could try removing the splash screen do you know how to edit your boot options ? [09:44] its not funny.. but cool.. ;) [09:44] tom-ubuntu: also what video card do you use [09:44] ttyt: it's neither [09:44] I can find via google.. thanks ikonia [09:44] ati radeon 7500 [09:44] tom-ubuntu: if you get stuck - just ask [09:45] Jordan, its froze, I cannot do nothing. I need to find the process to stop it and restart the update. [09:45] Hi, I need help. I try to update my system and then Debconf bugged when I try to install GRUB, i try to close the window to try again but I cant, what is the name of the process to close it plz. [09:45] tom-ubuntu: ahhh, ati's in general have weaker support than others, lots of little bugs. They are getting better, but still not there yet [09:45] How do I clean up old kernel versions? [09:45] thanks a million [09:45] ikonia: good that young people like terminal. So praise, not discurage :) [09:45] RudyValencia: open the pacckage manager, and remove the ones you don't need, it's that simple [09:45] RudyValencia: with synaptic ? remove the ald kernel packages... [09:45] ohir: why ? it doesn't matter either way [09:45] I can't tell which are older. [09:46] How do I save with visudo? [09:46] thunor: same as "vi" [09:46] RudyValencia: bigger numbers = newer [09:47] ikonia: because now such people are scarce resource. Take average nowadays user mouse and icons and they're lost [09:47] ikonia: I try but every time I type ":wq" it just puts it after what I type? Do I have to type something before that to tell it I want to issue commands? [09:47] thunor: press escape first [09:47] ohir: they don't need to use it, it's not a requirement [09:47] thunor: hit escape then :wq [09:48] When I click on the Package Manager on the menu I get this message. "A malicious client may be eavesdropping on your session or you may have just clicked a menu or some application just decided to get focus." Is there a way to fix this? [09:48] is there a way to boot ubuntu is console mode? after the latest libc/usb patch the graphical login screen freezes [09:48] ikonia: someone need to know _how_ to use it, anyway. The more the better. [09:48] kpel: Hold shift during boot and choose "recovery mode" [09:48] Jordan_U: thanks [09:48] kpel: You're welcome. [09:48] ohir: not really, it can cause more damage than good, if you don't need it - don't use it, but I guess we are delving a little offtopic here [09:49] ikonia: yep, move to -ot [09:49] ohir: super [09:49] ikonia: Doesn't seem to be working still. [09:49] Firstgear: It's most likely just bad timing with another application, you should only be worried if that *always* happens. [09:49] thunor: whats the error you get ? [09:49] thunor: does it say "nano" in the upper left of the editor? [09:49] ikonia: It says unknown command in white. === Avasz is now known as DeathKnight [09:50] ikonia: then it just prints what I write wq without a colon. [09:50] RudyValencia: Yeah it does. [09:50] oh. [09:50] thunor: you can change the default editor for sudo though if vi is to hard for you [09:50] wise_crypt: I want to learn it. [09:50] then delete the "wq" and press: ctrl-O, enter, ctrl-X [09:50] RudyValencia: Thanks. [09:50] wise_crypt: ikonia: Actually, the default editor for visudo in Ubuntu is nano :) [09:50] EDITOR environment varible is set [09:51] Jordan_U: apparently the computer (Acer Revo) cannot even see the usb keyboard so shift doesn't work. Any other way? [09:51] Thanks everyone. [09:51] Jordan_U: lol [09:51] Actually is it the case that networking is setup only after the user logs in? [09:52] Jordan_U: sudo select-editor << try if it is really nano and if it is just ctrl + x [09:52] kpel: Unless you setup a system wide connection ("available to all users" in network manager), yes. [09:52] thunor: sudo select-editor << try if it is really nano and if it is just ctrl + x [09:53] Jordan_U: sorry [09:53] wise_crypt: np === Prof_BiG_BanG is now known as prof_away [09:53] kpel: You can edit the kernel parameters from a LiveCD [09:54] true. the problem is the acer revo doesn't have optical drive [09:54] I will now reboot to see if my splash-screen problem is solved. thanks in advance ikonia. [09:54] kpel: Does ctrl+alt+F1 get you to a tty? [09:55] Jordan_U: no. the keyboard is dead, the mouse is dead. digital corpses everywhere... [09:55] that libc/usb patch did me in === prof_away is now known as Prof_BiG_BanG [09:56] anyone know why i need to login in liveCD?

[09:59] is it possible to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 from the net, but to change from normal install to netbook, or do i have to reinstall? [09:59] AphisOne: make a script with the env var set then call the script in your launcher [10:00] Anarhist, just install ubuntu-netbook when you are finished [10:00] ok, thanks [10:00] Anarhist: I would always recommend a clean install to avoid potential upgrade caveats [10:01] soreau, i've had couple of experiences with ubuntu when upgrading actually produced a better system than a clean install [10:01] alrighty then, more power to you [10:02] also i will always be able to do a clean install === root is now known as Guest56745 [10:03] soreau: I tried making a script and running it from the command line, doesn't work...

Or how to make it stfu. It doesn't appear in other VMs, either. [10:06] hello..somebody here can help me not??? [10:06] jaynon, have you tried mounting it via a command line? [10:06] Slayerz, with what [10:06] i got the warning msg when im boot my computer [10:07] the msg is :: nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 was not found. [10:07] Slayerz, what warning, give more details [10:07] I'm running crunchbang (an ubuntu derivative) I have a seperate partition for my home folder, if I run the Ubuntu 10.04 installer, and simply specify the current /home/ partition as my new /home/ dir and choose not to format, will my /home/ files be safe? [10:07] CuriosTiger: you checked the VM specific configs? [10:07] Slayerz, that is because you installed nvidia driver from the website [10:07] gilroooy, that's not supported here [10:07] Slayerz, correct? [10:07] yes correct === yanick___ is now known as Yanick_ [10:07] gilroooy: Yes that will work. [10:07] gilroooy, seek crunchbang support [10:07] gilroooy: No need to do that, it will work.

Nothing in there. Of course, it's conceivable there's some "undocumented" setting buried somewhere (you can set numerous options in vmware that are not accessible via the GUI), but as I created this VM from scratch, I don't see how anything like that would have gotten set [10:08] AphisOne: !/bin/bash [10:08] bazhang, isnt it fine to help with general issues on other distros if its a derivative ?

How are you calling the script? [10:10] Slayerz, hi, please use proper english , i have trouble understanding [10:10] Anarhist: I don't know how to do that. i'll look into it, but the drive mounts on its own, it just unmounts on its own as well. would mounting via command line effect this? [10:10] Jordan_U: solved! apparently the USB KVM switch was in a weird state. had to disconnect from the mains all machines connected to it and when i tried again everything worked. [10:11] not sure why this happened only after the usb patch though [10:11] Slayerz, the nvidia error is because of installing from site, but grub error is different [10:11] ic [10:11] ok tq im try it 1st [10:11] Slayerz, so do you have a grub error or nvidia error [10:11] soreau: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.3/ google-chrome [10:12] 2 of both the error now [10:12] AphisOne: No, I mean how are you running the script [10:12] the error come after im install the driver frm site [10:12] Slayerz, why did you install nvidia driver from website ? you can install nvidia from menu > system > administration > hardware drivers [10:12] AphisOne: You dont need quotes around the path in the script either [10:13] AphisOne: you want to make the script executable and make sure it works when running it manually from the cli [10:13] Ena BLOG Afieromeno STO CHAT... http://sinomilies.blogspot.com/ [10:13] Ena BLOG Afieromeno STO CHAT... http://sinomilies.blogspot.com/ [10:14] soreau: I did remove the quotes... but to run the script I am double clicking on it in Nautilus and choosing run from terminal [10:14] indus :: ok tq.

I'm trying to allow an IP access to a specific TCP port. 'ufw allow from 109.170.137.239 to any port 64242' works, however if I try 'ufw allow from 109.170.137.239 to tcp port 64242' or 'ufw allow from 109.170.137.239 to any port 64242/tcp', I get errors of 'Bad destination addres' or 'Bad port '64242/tcp'' [10:26] pookey: I think it should be 'ufw allow proto tcp from x.x.x.x to ...' [10:27] at least thats what man ufw said [10:27] shoopdawoop: ah, let me try that... the docs here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW suggset 'sudo ufw allow from to port ' [10:27] 'ufw allow proto tcp from 109.170.137.239 to port 64242' => 'ERROR: Wrong number of arguments' [10:28] appears that doesn't work either, or I've typoed/done something silly - which is likely ;) [10:29] yeah I've never used it, was just readin the man page for ufw [10:29] how do I disable the password dialog for the screensaver? [10:29] pookey: Try with ufw allow proto tcp from 109.170.137.239 to any port 64242 [10:30] soreau: yes, that works as I was hoping - Thanks :) but... that syntax seems a little odd doesn't it? what is 'any' meaning when i've alraedy specified tcp at the start? [10:30] Ginbun2: Look in sys>prefs>screensaver? [10:31] pookey: As the man page says, you want ufw proto from to port 64242 [10:32] oh, the any is address, not protocol [10:32] pookey: and can be any, but needs to be present as an arg [10:32] that does make sense ;) [10:32] soreau: sorry, I should have read the man, and not the comm,unity docs ;) [10:32] pookey: You can help the community by updating this doc page [10:33] deleting it and replacing it with RTFM wuold probably be the best step - duplication of docs doesn't really help anyone [10:33] lol [10:33] but i think that might not go down well ;) [10:36] the official documentation has it right it seems: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html [10:37] shoopdawoop: thanks [10:44] what plugins/extensions do people here use to organise their bookmarks and what are the features they most like?

[10:52] !clean-cache [10:52] AphisOne, happens [10:52] lol [10:52] AphisOne, same with chrome problem maybe a bug can be filed [10:53] AphisOne, i reinstalled chrome , then i got 2 icons in menu :D one from previous installation [10:53] AphisOne, so then i went to menu and removed one [10:53] coooollll [10:53] indus: really... that sounds weird... but no weirder than my issue. [10:53] AphisOne, well isnt it the same issue as yours [10:54] ciao [10:54] !list [10:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [10:54] AphisOne, similar , something to do with the menu entry isnt it [10:54] AphisOne, stick with firefox :) [10:55] hey all, does anyone know a program where I can generate a sine-wave and sweep the frequency with a slider, I seem to only be able to find terminal programs which dont have changing unless I stop and restart [10:56] i need o free space on my eeepc howd i empty the cache via command line? [10:56] indus: besides the fact that I am a web developer, I would have to say FF is too slow and Chrome isn't the problem [10:57] AphisOne, well, maybe how chrome adds a menu entry is the problem [10:57] русские [10:57] !ru | cypher [10:57] cypher: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke === cypher is now known as Guest23638 [10:57] indus: Chrome doesn't add the menu entry... it's the Ubuntu deb file [10:57] AphisOne, ubuntu deb file is created by google [10:57] AphisOne, they havent packaged it properly i believe [10:58] so it messes up menu entry, this happens to other packages too [10:58] indus: I thought Conical packaged it... hmm [10:58] AphisOne,oh no hehe never [10:58] AphisOne, its made available to you by google [10:59] AphisOne, like how skype creates the deb packages [10:59] indus: so then is Chromium packadged by Conical? [10:59] AphisOne, all packages are packaged by the package maintainers :) [10:59] lol repeated use of word 'package' [11:00] AphisOne,is chromium officially available from package manager ? if no then someone else packages it [11:00] indus, chromium is [11:00] AphisOne, and even if it were officially available , its done by the maintainers [11:01] bazhang, ok thanks [11:01] indus: okay.. yes and haha [11:01] !info chromium-browser [11:01] chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.0.375.38~r46659-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 11558 kB, installed size 38424 kB [11:01] Anyone know of a way to make exe files automatically have executable permissions, it is really annoying when every time I click an exe it tells me it's not executable and I have to change it under permissions [11:01] indus, see above [11:01] AphisOne, i suggest file a bug with launchpad , and you can search similar bugs to find out [11:02] bazhang, ah cool , iam using chrome right now, other than being open source, is ther any difference in chromium ? [11:02] indus, no idea sorry [11:02] bazhang, what do you use [11:03] indus: okay... thanks... you wouldn't possibly know anything about AWN would you? === bep is now known as Guest59781 [11:03] AphisOne, yes i know one thing, i hate it :) [11:03] indus: can you splain' [11:04] AphisOne, makes my system slow [11:04] I didn't notice at all... what were you running it on? [11:05] AphisOne, i find all 3d things make sluggish, i prefer super speed when openign windows etc, compiz and these things give me headache [11:06] indus: what were your computer specs when you were running it? [11:06] AphisOne, amd 3 core , ATI 4850 3 gb ram :) === waleed is now known as Guest33972 [11:08] AphisOne, i want to use it but everytime i get disappointed with it, i wish my desktop look like a mac [11:08] but its never as smooth and neatly integrated like a mac [11:08] indus: yah... it's the ram.... I was running on a duel core, with onboard ATI and 4gb ram and I wasn't really seeing any problems... but I had to make sure to configure the graphics drivers correctly [11:08] indus: lol [11:09] AphisOne, ram ? i have 3 gb its enough [11:09] indus: I now run a quad-code 8-thread with nVidea HD, and 6gb so it's not a problem for me now... [11:10] AphisOne: No, awn does slow down your pc a lot, I have a core i7 860 @ 3.5ghz and 4gb of ram [11:10] indus, the new awn is smoother from my own experience [11:10] okay same proc [11:10] Ginbun2, new ? [11:10] indus, I mean new version [11:11] Ginbun2, indus: I would have to agree... I installed it for the first time several years back... took it off... 6mo ago tried it again... enjoyed it [11:11] why cant things like compiz and these awn and cairo be as smooth and seamless like a mac, it always feels like a separate package [11:11] anyways, ill try again tonight [11:11] indus, http://img12.imageshack.us/i/screenshotgq.png/ is this what you want? [11:11] but ill probably remove it again though, gives me a headache [11:12] indus: it is a separate package! :D === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [11:12] AphisOne, i mean ya it doesnt seem like integrated and smooth like a mac, sorry bad english [11:12] Ginbun2, ya exactly like that [11:13] Ginbun2, you deleted panels and added the dock ? what effects are you using [11:13] yea, effects of the dock? [11:13] Ginbun2, yea [11:14] indus, if u install awn from the repo, then the dock theme is there out of the box [11:14] Ginbun2, maybe its the proprietary graphics which make it slow [11:14] Ginbun2, well, i try tonight [11:14] as for the theme of gnome, I used http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Zuki?content=126043 [11:14] Ginbun2, i used dock many times but i think i didnt delete the panel [11:15] indus, if I have a dock, there is no need for a panel, waste of space [11:15] Ginbun2, you japanese? [11:15] indus, nope, why [11:15] Ginbun2, that photo [11:16] indus, no, it was actually a japanese anime named Bleach [11:16] Ginbun2, can you give me some link to some really phenomenal desktop looks [11:16] Ginbun2, indus: this is what I have my system looking like currently: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5026/screenshotbne.png [11:16] Ginbun2, ubuntu i mean using compiz + awn etc [11:17] hi 2 all [11:17] Ginbun2, is that perspective view for te doc ? it looks like deep in space , nice [11:17] Ginbun2, i mean the dock [11:17] exit [11:17] indus, that is all I got. the nicest theme I can think off at the moment. [11:17] indus, as for the dock, just install it from the repo. [11:18] indus, the "deep in space" look may has something to do with the wallpaper [11:18] indus: are you referring to the image I put up? [11:19] aah oopssorry [11:19] I need to change the icons on my dock [11:19] AphisOne, yours look nicer. [11:19] Ginbun2, sorry i was addressing AphisOne [11:19] AphisOne, yes yours look nice [11:19] Ginbun2: thanks... default Ubuntu 10.04 background and the 3D effect on AWN [11:20] indus: thank you... I always enjoyed the 3D look [11:20] indus: it's more like Mac right?? [11:20] AphisOne, i hate the purple though [11:20] AphisOne, :) [11:20] what [11:21] problem [11:21] Ginbun2, AphisOne actually there are so many options in dock to configure , i get tired [11:21] indus: I haven't transferred my files over to the new laptop yet [11:21] indus, not really. not in the new version. [11:21] What could be the cause of my slow network connection? [11:21] Ginbun2, AphisOne what icon set is good to use [11:22] Ginbun2, AphisOne iam tired of human [11:22] indus: lol that is half the fun of linux... configuration (or get the fungeon out!) :D [11:22] Ginbun2, AphisOne ya true but iam too impatient [11:23] indus, try elementary icons set [11:23] Ginbun2, i liked it but i has an e for menu which i disliked [11:23] indus: then only change things when you feel like it... and eventually you'll find one you don't want to change! :P [11:23] it is one of the most complete icons set available [11:23] indus, then change that icon [11:23] Ginbun2, otherwise it was my recent fav [11:23] Ginbun2, how to [11:23] indus: so change that one img [11:23] lol [11:24] how to change that one image [11:24] ok today i revamp my desktop :D with all kinds of crappy effects [11:24] indus: locate the file and replace it with another file that you like... [11:24] what problem indus [11:25] can i solve [11:25] indus: don't forget to make sure the filename matches case [11:25] ok ill try it [11:25] abhinesh_, nothing much some desktop effects discussion [11:26] tell me [11:26] abhinesh_, solved it thanks [11:26] ok thanks [11:29] Has anyone got Lucid connected to an AD network via openlikewise complete with auto-mounted (samba) user network drives? === ishu is now known as vishah [11:31] hm.. I've got a ubuntu in a box, specified for a single task (well, a few single tasks), unfortunately I ran out of diskspace, any hints what I can remove without problems? [11:31] normally [11:31] /tmp [11:31] hi guys [11:32] quick question [11:32] why cant I see my user list [11:32] using xChat [11:32] Mirrakor, you can use: "du --max-depth=1 -m -c -x . | sort -n -r" to see folder sizes in mb [11:32] Mirrakor, try sudo apt-get clean [11:33] Mirrakor, smerz : baobab (disk usage analyser) is a much easier way too see where your HD space has gone [11:33] true [11:34] can anyone actually read what I am saying [11:34] i just use this command for headless servers too :-) [11:34] cavej03, sure [11:34] cavej03, CTRL+F7 [11:34] Hides/shows user list [11:34] didnt work [11:35] couple of things.. firstly... does ubuntu come with a virus scanner? [11:35] works for me :| [11:35] !linux [11:35] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [11:35] i didnt hide it in the first place [11:35] !virus [11:35] its just not there [11:35] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [11:35] no antivirus req. in ubuntu [11:35] cavej03, you can also check under "View->UserList" see if it has a tick box [11:36] cavej03, either reinstall/update xchat/ubuntu or try a diifferent irc client [11:36] yes its ticked [11:36] cavej03, if it's ticked maybe its to the right (or left) really minimized towards the edge of the window [11:36] and i noticed my right side pane seems minimized [11:36] smerz - ok cool, thanks.. also one other thing.. whenever I start ubuntu after I type in my log in details it seems to take AGES to load my desktop .. even know I am running a quad core.. once its loaded its nice and fast it just takes a long time intially.. [11:37] cavej03, look with your mouse to the right. hover untill you get the "drag" icon [11:37] what is the best wm should i use for my laptop ? [11:37] haha [11:37] thx [11:37] ok [11:37] feel like a total noob [11:37] I realise thats a littel vague but I don't know how else to describe [11:37] Kingsy101, can you give an indication from completed login to workable desktop in seconds? [11:38] smerz - maybe 15 seconds? [11:38] then it just seems to burst into life [11:39] ok dificult problem here, I tried a mythtv channel but noone was available to help. [11:39] Kingsy101, has it always been like this? [11:39] anyway my problem is i have all channels on mythtv installed and playing cept the video is broken and unwatchable [11:39] hola a tod@s [11:40] its a codec problem but how do I go about changing this [11:40] fixing [11:40] !restricted-extras [11:40] #ztm [11:40] Kingsy101: cpu power has not that infuence on boot time. HDD/bus read speed has. [11:40] smerz - on this computer.. yes [11:40] was that directed at me? [11:40] "restricted xtras? [11:41] cavej03, for codec problems install restricted-extras package. "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad". They might be just what you need [11:41] thx [11:41] hmm I just assumed.. quad core with 4GB of DDR2 would be enough to boot faster than that [11:42] was your boot time always slow? [11:42] Kingsy101, hmm well it should. So it has always been like this for you. For me 15 sec is normal (dual core 2,5ghz). But i got stuff in autostart and a backup running often [11:42] cavej03, yeah his login to desktop time was always like this [11:42] Kingsy101: switching 5400 hdd for sata ssd and nothing else brings boot time to some 3-5s [11:42] Kingsy101: read speed of hdd matters [11:42] Kingsy101: some hundreds of MiB needs to be read to bring GUI up [11:43] KingK, additionally do you have external devices that get recognized and mounted? [11:43] could also slow things down [11:43] hmm perhaps I need to just deal with it [11:43] no as far as I am aware I don't have anything running at startup [11:43] dont just deal. U moved to a better operating system for a reason [11:43] no external harddrive for instance? [11:43] hi there: is there any compatibility/driver db for Mobo/Video Card? [11:43] i'm on ubuntu 9.04x32 on a Acer D250 and I don't have an external cdrom, how safe is a direct upgrade to 10.04? [11:44] Kingsy101: so if you really need seconds to work I'd suggest setup your /boot and /usr on fast SSD (16G is more than enough for most of the universe repo) [11:44] http://pastebin.ca/1884222 How can I decode this message with my gpg private key? [11:44] teleri, should be fine but I really recommend a usb bootable stick just in case [11:44] teleri: quite safe, anyway. [11:44] ohir - yea perhaps thats a thought [11:44] teleri, only heard of minor problems. [11:44] i second that usb bootable is really easy [11:45] if I want to run .jar files by double clicking them .. do I need to install java using something like sudo apt-get install java ? [11:45] Kingsy101, and SSD will give you _insane_ performance. I'd recommend the / partition (except /home) for the ssd (and swap maybe_ [11:45] Kingsy101: other way is to always sleep your machine instead of reboot (what I use on my netbook. AAO starts in ~5s from the sleep) [11:45] ok, the thing has a sdcard reader, and win7 still installed, so i'm not too worried, aslong as grub doesn't fubar [11:46] thanks all [11:46] Kingsy101, "sudo apt-get install java-jre" should do it [11:46] yo [11:46] the cd won't boot up? :( [11:46] Kingsy101: AAO keeps sleeping for some 3-4 weeks on bigger battery pack. Dell6400 though keeps its sleep only some 5-7 days. [11:46] sudo do-dist-upgrade right? (for direct method) [11:46] i have tried to run ubuntu without installing and i cant [11:47] what happen [11:47] smerz - it says that it cant find the package java-jre [11:47] Inferus [11:47] yo [11:47] KukMan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto should get you started [11:47] Kingsy101, hang on let me check which one i got :-) [11:47] what hapen === chalcedony is now known as chalcedny` === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [11:48] smerz - ok thanks === chalcedny` is now known as chalcedny [11:48] kingsy101, go to system>software sources [11:48] Kingsy101, "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [11:48] " [11:49] how to use miranda [11:49] sudo do-dist-upgrade is safer than using update manager, yea? [11:49] install meranda [11:49] ok cool .. got it thanks [11:49] KukMan, Seahorse + gedit or enigmail is what you are looking for i think [11:49] teleri, update manager did a good job for me [11:50] how to use miranda ,install meranda [11:50] abhinesh_, miranda is a windows application. I would recommend using pidgin or empathy. Empathy can be found under "Applications->Internet->Empathy" [11:50] teleri, it takes a fair while tho [11:50] smerz i use ubuntu [11:50] abhinesh_, I personally prefer "pidgin". Miranda does not work under ubuntu. But Pidgin or Empathy will do the job for you [11:50] hmm weird [11:51] you would cry tohave my network ) [11:51] first time i ran cd, it asked the menu then died on a black screen [11:51] :) [11:51] now its not even getting that far [11:51] thanks smerz to [11:51] abhinesh_, open the following application "Application->Internet->Empathy" It is very much like Miranda sir! [11:52] Inferus, is that in a virtual machine by any chance? [11:52] Virtualbox to be specific? [11:52] teleri, its not so much the network as the install itself [11:52] smerz thanks [11:52] abhinesh_, you are welcome sir [11:52] cavej03: it's cool [11:52] sir =) [11:53] smerz no my laptop... ok the disc menu came up, now i am waiting for it to boot [11:53] well politeness goes a long way x) [11:53] picked top option [11:53] smerz can i use Empathy [11:53] Inferus, may be your monitor not in sync [11:53] well i tried pressing ctrl alt and 1 [11:53] to change to term, and nowt [11:53] =[ [11:54] trying again right now, disc activity.. [11:54] abhinesh_, is the application not there to select? maybe you have an application called "pidgin" under "Applications->Internet->Pidgin" ? [11:54] is it possible to get windows snap feature in Ubuntu like in windows 7? I think it is very productive [11:54] hi, even if I disabled the screensaver, after two hours my screen blacks out [11:54] abhinesh_, otherwise please explain the problem [11:54] try ctrl and num + or - [11:54] and I have to move the cursor to make it turn on again [11:54] ok disc activity has gone quiet and its just spinning... [11:54] Ginbun2, yes. It's a bit of work though. I only recommend it with good system knowledge. -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/gnome-snap-zones-55279/ [11:54] is there any way I can set the screen to NEVER black out [11:55] smerz i use pidgin [11:55] Ginbun2, haven't tried it myself yet [11:55] is num pad led is active [11:55] abhinesh_, that should work for you right? [11:55] ff88: SCreensaver settings. and power management. [11:55] and responding, cap lock led responding [11:55] arand: all disabled [11:55] smerz, I think I will do fine, have been using linux more than 10 years [11:55] Ginbun2, then give it a go and let me know :-) [11:56] i haven't had the energy myself yet to do it [11:56] arand: the flag "start the screensaver when the computer is not active" is unchecked [11:56] smerz: disc activity has stopped or is v slow, and still black screen [11:57] Inferus, I really wouldn't know. Maybe you need the alternate install disc? I dunno. Try googling for your laptop model [11:57] may be the architecture you choosed is wrong [11:57] hi! [11:57] arand: more, in power management screen turning off is set to NEVER [11:57] oh wait, disc has started again ! [11:58] how long does it normally take to boot up from disc smerz? [11:58] was wondering if there is any 3d mmo i could play? [11:58] from cdrom [11:58] yeh [11:58] a while. maybe 3-4 minutes? or smth [11:58] stupidxpgames, EVE online probably the most famous, otherwise there is another nice space mmorpg [11:59] stupidxpgames: get WoW working with playonlinux [11:59] Hehe. Irc working on 3g [11:59] what is the RAM also matters [11:59] stupidxpgames, or http://www.vendetta-online.com/ (i tested that one. really liked it) [12:00] well both should already support linux, last i heard they were working on linux versions, when i could afford to subscribe to such games [12:00] what is the command to launch compiz settings manager? [12:00] Ginbun2, lauch or install? :D [12:00] SmallR2004, launch [12:00] Ginbun2, [12:00] arg [12:00] smerz, I need the command because I killed the panel [12:00] i hate that [12:01] ccsm [12:01] ginbun its "ccsm" [12:01] <|ns|nR8> Ginbun2, compizconfig-settings-manager [12:01] in my launcher it says ccsm ^_^. One of em should work hehe [12:01] 3 games that force you to pay to play...8 hours of game time?? free? seriously? [12:01] thank you though [12:02] i do appreciate it [12:02] there are some free ones [12:02] but those are the best :| [12:02] xD [12:02] i doubt it.. all games have bugs and most have sucky support [12:03] but yes eve wow have been awesome [12:03] how to map a usb to serial port? [12:03] the vendetta linux client is realy nice. Eve has a native supported client and is probably the best mmorpg with native client [12:03] smerz, works nice, I used this guide http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/aero-snap-ubuntu-linux.html [12:03] if i made the cash i would definately waste some money there hehe [12:03] ubuntu lucid 10.04 32bit [12:03] Ginbun2, oho! [12:03] Ginbun2, alright then. Lets do it! :D:D [12:04] hmm compiz based [12:04] there is a small bug with ATI and compiz since 8.10 [12:04] i hate whoever is responsible for it since then. Everbody is blaming someone else heheh :D [12:04] is there a package in apt-get for chromium (not some random game, the browser)? [12:05] is there a good way to can know what type of rams i'm using "DDR2, or DDR" ?? [12:05] visitor1, check ur ram modules :p [12:05] Beelsebob: chromium-browser, I think [12:05] i'ma sign up with vendetta and check it out...looks like this alpha game that used per-pixel rendering [12:05] Beelsebob, nah chromium is not in the repositories. But google provides a debian package that you can just download and install [12:05] stupidxpgames, it's really nice. It has twich based game style (you need to aim! :D ) [12:05] Beelsebob: chromium-browser [12:06] smerz: It is in lucid. [12:06] jussi/arand doesn't exist [12:06] smerz: chears [12:06] oh really? hmm weird [12:06] nope still no display smerz :( [12:06] Beelsebob: which version of ubuntu are you on? [12:06] i thought it was closed source [12:06] its just sat there on black screen [12:06] jussi: 9.10 [12:06] smerz: definately not [12:06] Beelsebob: ahh, yeah, its in 10.04 [12:06] Inferus, i would not know. Any chance to google it ? :| [12:06] other question I wanted to ask… is there a way to upgrade to 10.04 without just downloading a new iso and reinstalling? [12:07] jussi, so google chrome browser is proper open source? [12:07] !upgrade | Beelsebob [12:07] Beelsebob: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:07] smerz i'ma put you in "where i heard about it" [12:07] Beelsebob: you can grab the chrome package smerz talks about [12:07] stupidxpgames, hehe be my guest :) [12:07] smerz: chromium is, yes. [12:07] smerz, is it possible to shake a window to minimize all windows except the one that is active? [12:08] wow… that's *really* complex for a dist that claims to be user friendly [12:08] * Beelsebob is suprised the update manager doesn't just have a big "upgrade your distribution" button [12:08] Beelsebob, it's one command.

[12:32] kryptyk, OWA [12:32] kryptyk, (I guess that's the default for ewxchange) [12:33] lorenzosu: I have never had any measurable success using OWA and Evolution [12:33] Hi!

[12:57] biston, i didnt quite get what you are doing [12:57] nikolam: if it is a driver issue, I would start with loading any drivers Ubuntu suggests. If that fails, go with the manufacturers drivers and see if the same happens [12:57] and use the offical java.. i tried the others and it was buggy ut that worked for me [12:57] biston: seems you have a few issues with your entry from comparing whit the url/example i posted [12:57] Dr_Willis i've been through these posts already === undef is now known as K10 [12:57] stupidxpgames: what are you trying to run?

[12:59] Kingsy101: yes you can... 'sudo apt-get install unzip' if you have the rights.. [12:59] but i am interested in tweaking my ethernet card under linux for maximum bandwidth [12:59] I am connected via ssh [12:59] no I don't have the rights [12:59] Kingsy101: so? [12:59] Dr_Willis i've seen this being done before, 2 years ago. just can't figure out what's wrong with this [12:59] then the fact its a server dosent matter. :) [12:59] I don't have the permission .. its a shared server [12:59] Kingsy101: whats the extension dude? [12:59] .zip [12:59] biston, SEEMS Like init line should be /boot/initrd [12:59] кто нибудь yota или winmax в линуксе запускал? [12:59] Kingsy101: compile the source then I guess.

[13:01] geekphreak: aparently not [13:01] Dr_Willis, hi [13:01] nm I am just going to use a tar.gz instead [13:01] bz2 [13:01] bz2? why? [13:02] hmm. what would happen if i just extract the contents of the iso to my /sdb and boot directly from sdb [13:02] biston, also, in grub 2 the partitions now start with 1 instead of 0 [13:02] biston: the url i posted as an example has quite a few differnt things then yours [13:02] biston, maybe thats one area you should be sure [13:02] i mean, not directly, but use /vmlinuz from sdb directly ... [13:02] biston: so i would guess you need to fix your entry. [13:02] DR_ yea, but things like mtu are already at 1500...but i'm unsure of link speed an duplex..tos..various settings that under windows i'd be able to tweak and get noticable gains [13:02] biston: http://rww.dreamwidth.org/3100.html has several differens then yours [13:02] indus oh yea! true, very true [13:02] i'll switch 0 to 1 and try [13:03] biston, so for first partition it should be hd0,1 [13:03] stupidxpgames: ive never managed to get noticeable gains under windows either [13:03] trying that. just a sec [13:03] me neither [13:03] in terms of net that is [13:03] and i recall several tools for windows taht would auto-change things and try tio maxamize them all.. never amounted to anuything [13:04] hah, worked. thank you indus for that tip [13:04] what's the name of the new Ubuntu logo font ? [13:04] and for everything else in fact [13:04] if you wana update speed of ur net, change ur connection plan lol [13:04] dr- hehe..well i did but it was through trial and error.. and tweaking things that were later updated out..tcpoptimizer was very nice under xp [13:04] biston, great [13:04] thank you too Dr_Willis [13:04] i can't believe it was really that silly [13:04] ya grub is silly :) [13:04] stupidxpgames: you have to be very carefull with those tools :) [13:04] biston: you are not booting the kernel in the iso file however.. unless theres some other tricks going on.

[13:16] apoly usually ubuntu bridges the nics by itself?? correct me if i'm wrong pls [13:16] zio, probably yes but ask in #windows, they will help [13:16] loopidity: "every time" is certainly wrong. Please describe more exactly your situation. [13:16] zio,how many hdd you have [13:16] one === LjL is now known as |_j|_ [13:17] bullgard each new restart brings death to a unique character [13:17] bullgard now all the s are blocks of rectangle [13:17] previously, it was u [13:17] zio: Not actually without grub, and you need to chanload it, etc. [13:17] I saw a forum post online about it using bridge-utils [13:17] apoly have you browsed over some of the how to's? thats how i got one pc shared [13:17] chanload? sorry i dont know what that means [13:18] farciarz84, try getdeb.net [13:18] but i'm still working on setting up another pc on the same network too [13:18] zio, yes chainload [13:18] Yeah xpgames, I'm looking at one right now but I have no idea how to "use this cide" auto bro0 iface bro0 inet dhcp bridge_ports all [13:18] "use this code" [13:18] arand, doesnt that require editing grub menu.lst anyway? [13:19] loopidity: I have never had this error. I would look for an associated bug report in Launchpad. [13:19] i dont know what chanload is..if you give me some more info i'll try google it [13:19] yea, when it gets down to commands to put in files i'm lost too..linux has diffrent wordings and things [13:20] I found another guide - Maybe this will help more. [13:20] a good how to usually tells you every little detail [13:20] Thankd xpgames [13:20] xD [13:20] indus: Nah, you can just make a dd-copy of a grub mbr using blocklists, and feed that as an entry into BCD, but I don't think that is something you want to do if you are not comfortable with the command line even, zio [13:20] zio, see if you follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-732173.html [13:21] also be sure the how to matches up with the current version ubuntu and software your trying to set up... [13:21] zio, without the command line , you cannot solve this issue, unless you use a live cd and reinstall grub [13:21] zio, which is quite easy [13:21] zio, trust me , its quite easy to recover grub if you run into trouble [13:21] Whats it mean when the console does this after typing a command line. [13:21] > [13:21] i will never use grub again after what happened last year [13:21] its too aggressive [13:22] How can I fix the time on my PC so that it stays consistent? [13:22] The time i spent learning grub.. has been well rewarded over the last few years. :) [13:23] Apolyon: Usually that you did not close something, i.e. missing a final ", or a done asfter a "do command;" thing, etc. [13:23] indus: anyway i wouldnt know where to imput commands because win seven boots up immediately [13:23] Why does my ubuntu gets slow after hours of heavy usage? [13:23] I"m copy pasting from ubuntu forum help code boxes :( [13:23] mbehlok: sounds like a memory leak in some app. [13:23] Hello. I seem to be missing an option of DIGITAL 5.1 output in the pulseaudio configuration. Does anyone know how to get that? THe analog 5.1 does not work properly so now I can only get stereo... [13:23] ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 <
> [13:23] zio, do you have an ubuntu live cd? [13:24] yes its the one i just used [13:24] ^ is what im typing in why wont it work? [13:24] XeTeX is required to compile this document. * Sorry! [13:24] zio, so open a terminal and type sudo grub-install /dev/sda [13:24] what's wrong? [13:24] hi [13:24] any1 knows why firefox crashes when u r viewing flash related stuff [13:24] Apolyon: Replace <
> with what applies in your case, I would guess [13:24] lol. <
> HTM tag huh. [13:24] Dr_Willis, you think so? Can I "un-leak" that memory? [13:25] texlive-xetex has been installed [13:25] zipper: no [13:25] thats sad [13:25] indus: no grub i dont want grub anymore on my hdd [13:25] how to install a .sh i just download to desktop? [13:25] i created this partition: primary, formatted ext2, mount point / [13:26] zipper: without usefull infos we cant help (e.g. error messages from the terminal, if starting firefox from the terminal) then the info which flash-package you are using and so on [13:26] is it correct? [13:26] zio: Means you will have to go through a lot of hassle getting any kind of GNU/Linux system booting, that is the price, simple. [13:26] SIOCSIFADDR: Permission Denied [13:26] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission Denied [13:26] after I type in ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 [13:26] Apolyon: sudo [13:26] i been getting that too [13:26] apolyon sudo [13:27] zio, partition should be ext 3 or 4 , ext 2 is old now [13:27] ok Thanks [13:27] [solved] [13:27] yeah its old but it shoud work anyway === |_j|_ is now known as LjL [13:27] arand, how can you boot linux without a boot loader ? can windows boot loader do it ? [13:27] 10.04 support ext2 or no? [13:28] zio, yes sure [13:28] !javascript [13:28] so the partition i created is fine? [13:28] yes [13:28] indus: grub4dos can do a bit of stuff I guess. [13:28] maybe i need another one with mount point /boot? [13:28] zio, ok first of all, you need to be a little flexible when installing anything new like an operating system. [13:29] indus: Which is available using easyBCD, but it's probably going to be a lot more hassle than using grub just straight off. [13:29] zio, you probably had some wrong person guiding you with this before [13:29] zio, grub is the default boot loader for ubuntu , helps you boot a lot of OS [13:30] * indus wonders why anyone would use ext2 [13:30] indus: nobody guided me :) [13:30] where are the GUI tools stored on disk? [13:30] zio, well, we are trying to guide you now [13:30] i know grub is powerful [13:30] too much for me [13:30] is there a convenient mapping between System > Administration > Users and Groups and where the actual binary is to run it from the cli [13:30] zio, grub is also safe , i have done almost 500 installation on different machines [13:30] zio: Probably easier to follow the guided installation, and make sure to unmark "install bootloader" at the very last step of the installer ("advanced" button), if you really want to not install grbu to mbr, and mess with trying to figure out how to boot it otherwise.. [13:30] will a windows machine connect to the bridge I made in linux automatically? [13:31] through a switch. [13:31] arand: thats what i've done === Pax-Man is now known as Pax-Man^afk [13:31] thought win7 boot loader would find ubuntu [13:32] nvm :) It worked thanks for help. [13:32] indus: then why on november 2009 one day ubuntu uploaded my grub to a beta version? [13:32] zio: Of course not. BCD only boots windows, and you need to ahck it in order to boot anything elsse [13:32] Apolyon can you be more specific? [13:32] zio: *hack it [13:33] zio: or just install the grub loader... [13:33] zio: Mind that in the case of grub "Beta" is just a label, everyone uses the beta, it is not a measure of stability. [13:33] org [13:34] urgent: loading hangs on splash screen. how to troubleshoot that? [13:34] O.O Ubuntu is doing really wierd things. Just now I finished creating the bridge and was using it on the windows machine and all of a sudden the GUI on ubuntu vanished and now I've got the little thinking mouse icon and nothing else. [13:34] zio,these days 'beta' means continuous improvement , remember gmail ? stayed beta for 5 years [13:34] lol @ Beta. Indeed it does. [13:34] indus : [13:34] Andrew9, press ctl - alt f1 and see messages [13:35] indus:continuous improvement [13:35] indus: ok [13:35] with grub beta i mean it was a developement beta it asked me to write down grub parameter and stuff [13:35] yes [13:35] the normal menu was gone! [13:35] zio, really ? [13:35] zio, hmm strange [13:35] yes really [13:35] indus : understand [13:35] someone added a developement version on top of the repository [13:36] zio, just try now, it shouldnt happen [13:36] which repository? [13:36] zio, trust me :D [13:36] Grub2 is as much an improvement to Grub.. as Grub was to LILO. [13:36] grub is bloatware really, who needed a grub 2 anyway [13:36] boot loaders should become a standard [13:36] Did the upgrade to 10.04 make theuser change to grub2? i never noticed [13:36] There is a grub2? [13:37] zio, i agree with you [13:37] i <3 ubuntu :) [13:37] Dr_Willis: No, upgrades did not touch the bootloader. [13:37] indus: flashing underscore, nothing happening [13:37] 'the great thing about standards - thers so many to choose from' [13:37] Dr_Willis, no its only for new installs [13:37] Andrew9, ubuntu 10.04 ? did you check the live cd ? md5sum ? [13:37] thats what i was thinking.. I never heard of a 'being forced to upgrade to grub2' either. [13:37] I have virtual box running, and have set a shared folder which I open files from in windows 7. But I can't save my edited files because I don't have permission to do so. How do I make sure I DO have permission to store these files? [13:37] Andrew9, so many things :) [13:38] p1l0t: ubuntu has been using grub2 for the last 2 releases on new installs. [13:38] i'll try again with grub someday [13:38] indus: system was running fine for 2 month or so, today it just won't load === taka is now known as Guest71612 [13:38] Three computers ago I did a dual boot with Vista, now that I am confortable with Ubuntu I don't even bother with predatory propietary vendors [13:38] Andrew9, ya updates do that to you :) [13:38] Andrew9, did you update recently ? [13:39] indus: oh here is something on the screen: "gave up waiting for root device" ... [13:39] Andrew9: Try using recovery mode (hold shift at boot to get the grub menu) [13:39] indus: i update every day [13:39] Flash isn't properly working with video. Youtube plays fine, but sometimes clicking is weird. Fullscreen youtube doesn't properly fullscreen. (Takes up full screen, video stays the same size.) And now I cannot view, but can hear, this video: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/tue-june-15-2010-james-tabor. In my windows virtual machine, video playback is slow. [13:39] Andrew9, good for you, anyways, [13:39] Man.. Web sites never seem to want to print properly for me any more - Dont suppose anyone has noticed a FF extension or some other way to get things printing a bit better? [13:39] does it boot at all [13:39] Is there a button to end all tasks? [13:40] I just got 5,000,000 things pop up on my task bar [13:40] Apolyon, yes, the power button [13:40] :D [13:40] bobthemilkman, flash sucks on ubuntu. it's not your fault [13:40] Dr_Willis, a language other than english ? [13:40] indus: no it won't load at all [13:40] Wow. ... This is so broken. [13:40] Andrew9,gave up waiting for root device hmm [13:40] Andrew9: Hmm, maybe fstab-issues... [13:41] I need some help about ubuntu linux [13:41] I got as many new somethings open and now its crashing. white flickering box in corner. [13:41] I am using windows 7 [13:41] I have 300 gb divided 2 by 150 gb as NTFS [13:41] I have win7 installed on C: [13:41] and I installed ubuntu inside the windows in D: [13:41] gurky_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:41] everything works perfect [13:41] Apolyon what are you running? [13:41] Ubuntu? [13:41] I currently have firefox 3.6.3, ubuntu 10.04, and am using the most recent proprietary nvidia accelerated graphics driver. [13:41] Apolyon: alt+sysreq+k will force logout. [13:41] 64x lol I wonder if its because I typed "exit" in console [13:41] sysreq? [13:41] indus: years ago - i recall a HP tool (for windows of course) that would make web sites actually print out in a way that they at least were readable. :) now a days i print (for example) a 'Stove Review' page to take to the store.. and it gives me a header.. and 5 blank pages.. :) [13:41] Andrew9, can you type 'exit' and see [13:41] indus: "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" [13:41] Apolyon: Normally somewhere close to printscreen [13:42] somebody help me please [13:42] indus: the same message after "exit" [13:42] gurky_: yes [13:42] gurky_: you dident actaully state a question.. that i saw [13:42] Andrew9, ubuntu 10.04 ? or older [13:42] indus: 10.04 [13:42] Dr_Willis, hehe [13:42] Apolyon I meant what are you running that opened 5,000,000 things> [13:42] gurky_, you said everything works perfectly. what's the problem with that? [13:43] i saw that too 0_0 [13:43] I was button mashing over there nothing. I'm just going to restart I guess =\ Wish this would stop happening. [13:43] @P1lot Terminal and Cromium. [13:43] !manual | gurky_ [13:43] gurky_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [13:43] gurky_: "everything works perfect" and "somebody help me please" How does that add up? [13:43] exactly :p [13:43] I have virtual box running, and have set a shared folder which I open files from in windows 7. But I can't save my edited files because I don't have permission to do so. How do I make sure I DO have permission to store these files on my virtual machine? [13:43] gurky_, what is the issue [13:44] Why would typing exit into the terminal do that O.o [13:44] I installed Ubuntu inside thw win7 [13:44] gurky_, ok and ? [13:44] I can see C: drive [13:44] but cant access the D: drive [13:44] both NTFS [13:44] gurky_, try typing in one message in stead of hitting return all the time [13:45] What hdd system can I use? (No-ext) [13:45] For ubuntu.. [13:45] electro_: For partition formats, you mean? [13:45] Andrew9, this is difficult to solve, try boot into recovery mode and run update again, you probably ran a partial upgrade [13:45] eleljrk: * [13:45] Apolyon typing exit into the terminal would close it. Is it cromium that is opening these 5,000,000 windows or the terminial or neither? [13:45] None? [13:45] gurky_, you cant acces ubuntu inside of windows. but you can acces windows inside of ubuntu. [13:45] solow: Pass some option to the mount command I guess.. I don't know if you can chmod/chown it recursively once mounted [13:45] Either. [13:45] gurky_, ah thats not too difficult, go to /etc/hosts and find it there [13:45] Neither. [13:46] No idea. Going for a 3rd time. [13:46] gurky_, i mean you go to filesystem /etc./host some folder like that [13:46] What are they? [13:46] eleljrk: I can't, and probably no one else can, understand the question. [13:46] gurky_, you will find all your windows files there [13:46] Its happening directly after I close terminal [13:46] arand, Those terms sound familiar, but i have no idea what you really mean [13:46] hard to tell withing a matter of seconds they all turn into bars so small that its just a vertical gray bar on taskbar [13:46] I installed Ubuntu inside thw win7, I can see C: drive, but cant access the D: drive, both NTFS, and ubuntu installed in D:, how can I mount D: drive and access my media files in there? [13:46] within* [13:46] eleljrk: If you want to know what hdd system you can use, Ubuntu instantly recognized my SATA, IDE, and SCSI systems without any need for addtional drivers. [13:46] Andrew9, or another option is booting from a previous kernel and try [13:47] eleljrk: I know xfs is used by some, but ext is recommended, really. [13:47] However, since you specifically mentioned (no-ext), it would appear as though you meant partition formats, not HDD systems. [13:47] Ok... System just randomly restarted now. Flashing colers on my screen... [13:47] Apolyon can you click on them? Do they open into something like an error message? [13:47] gurky_, i answered your question , first let us see if you can see the files on D [13:47] Ok.. I'm using a alternate CD to install ubuntu, ext3 and 4 leave a strange error.. [13:47] nope system slows to a grinding halt. [13:47] hello, i want to connect to ssh to a distant computer, and i want to run a program on it, and then i want to let it run, while being able to shutdown my computer; is there a way to do that? [13:47] thanks, tryin and will let u know [13:48] If you can try seeing the latest entries in /var/log/syslog [13:48] Switched to low graphics mode now, with all sorts of strange artifacts. [13:48] otswim: check out 'screen' and the 'nohup' command [13:48] indus: recovery boot won't load either [13:48] gurky_, AFTER that we can see how to permanently show D drive on start [13:48] otswim: screen is a must learn about tool [13:48] Andrew9, ok HDD problem :P [13:48] eleljrk: There should be a pulldown list, all of which work. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems for some comparisons [13:48] indus: "waiting for root file system..." [13:48] Andrew9, check teh HDD cable [13:48] indus: ok i thought so too [13:48] Andrew9, ok seems like a grub issue otherwise, [13:48] otswim: screen also has a tweqked variant called 'byobu' in ubuntu that may be a little easier to use [13:48] eleljrk: But if the ubuntu CD is giving you errors on ext3/ext4 formatting, the error is probably your hard drive, not software. [13:48] indus: will test hdd then [13:49] Andrew9, grub is pointing to wrong partition [13:49] I think its xserver crashing or something. [13:49] Andrew9, so 2 causes, choose one :) [13:49] "Fail with Debootstrap".. "Didn't find the kodename for author".. [13:50] Translated by me, probably something Else on the actual English install..

[13:51] arand, I decided to read the manual [13:52] So I've fixed it already. [13:52] If that would be easier [13:52] ext2 seems to work.. :P [13:52] solow: :) [13:52] eleljrk: So ext2 works, but not ext3 or ext4? [13:52] That should... never happen. [13:52] Yes [13:52] It's possible your installation medium is broken... [13:52] thanks [13:53] Welcome to Norwegian computers.. :P [13:53] indus: http://www.evernote.com/pub/9ands/public [13:53] All computers are built in Japan and China anyway basically [13:53] how do i apply a diff patch [13:53] arand, or maybe i didn't... when I (on my virtual machine) copy the file I want to edit, and then edit>save the file, it works. but when i want to do the same with the original file, it says i have no permission to do so. This is very confusing... [13:53] eleljrk: What kind of machine is this? And yes, have you checked is the CD is fine? [13:53] Does anyone know how to get my pannel (where it shows active programs) back? === Guest9457 is now known as rileyp [13:53] At least the components [13:54] I got 3 CDs, they are fine.. :P [13:54] how do I revert an upgrade from a ppa?

[13:56] http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/25111 [13:56] otswim: screen lets you 'reconnect' afterwards [13:56] iwant to apply this changeset [13:56] anyone? i'd like to go back to my work :) [13:56] otswim: and its worth learning about... [13:56] how do i do that [13:56] eleljrk: If you know the device name (/dev/sdc3, for example) of the HDD you want to format, you can try mkfs.ext3 -c /path/to/dev/name from a root console. [13:57] fresh man [13:57] hi [13:57] Dr_Willis: i'm sure it's worth it, but i don't need to reconnect; i just need to get back the output in nohup.out, and know how to run the program even after i close my session [13:57] eleljrk: If what I said is above your head, then I'd suggest burning a gparted CD (or USB), booting the machine via that, and then converting the filesystem manually. [13:57] is there a way to force all my sound cards to be loaded in the order my system sees them now? [13:57] andrew9 are you running a 64bit machine or 32 and which distro? [13:57] That's what I'm trying to do!

[13:58] that's a great script [13:59] so will my program stop if i write 'nohup ./program &' and then i close my ssh session? [13:59] blue_anna: Just make sure to check what it wants to do and if it's sane. [13:59] otswim, nope [13:59] I bridged the network, and the net works on the windows machine but now its broken on the linux box -.-' Anyone mind assisting? the "sudo route add default gateway 192.168.2.1 gives back SIOCADDDRT error.

[14:04] or [14:04] from kubuntu lucid disc? [14:04] kickingintender: Do the same with the depdencies. However, kubuntu came with k3b by default, I thought. [14:04] maybe its gpanal [14:04] panel* [14:04] I am on gnome [14:04] kickingintender: No, from a machine with internet access. [14:04] wessel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:05] wessel: Maybe #xubuntu knows more specifics... Hm, if you are on gnome, yes it should work, not on xfce though, I reckon [14:05] Apoylon try just editing the .conf files in /etc/network (or use networkmanager) instead [14:05] the reset worked [14:06] when I (on my virtual machine) copy the file I want to edit, and then edit>save the file, it works. but when i want to do the same with the original file, it says i have no permission to do so. This is very confusing... [14:07] wessel, good :) [14:07] I find this crash a bit stupid tho, all my nice short cuts are gone :( [14:07] solow are you familiar with permissions and sudo and all that? [14:07] entire pc goes strange just because I click 'hide' [14:08] could not turn the pc off [14:08] had to use sudu poweroff [14:08] p1l0t, yeah, a lil. i just changed permissions. and like i said, copying the file does work. so permissions must be set right.

[14:18] basivally on every large disk usage, everything else that needs interactivity is dieing. [14:18] :) [14:18] But I don't want to chmod every file I make [14:18] Can I be using the Pulse audio and Alsa at the same time? [14:19] yes? if u had vm or 2 soundcards-ultra [14:19] I am running an xmms app right now with pulse output, and also have a firefox open with the alsa plug in and both are working [14:19] solow trying running the editing program as the root user then, sudo vi file_name or whatever [14:19] how is that? [14:19] You know what all of you should do? Listen to Vivaldi's 4 seasons. I'm sure you'll feel great afterwards. :D [14:20] they both use the same device..just diffrent ways, be glad they work flawlessly xD [14:20] UltraParadigm, pulseaudio doesnt work without alsa [14:20] !pulse [14:20] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [14:20] that too [14:20] When I go to sound preferences and see what applications are using sound, it only shows the firefox plugin but not my mp3 player which is also playing. [14:20] i did a dist-upgrade last night (suppose i should have done just a normal upgrade... but i didn't think there would be a difference within lucid), and now X gives my monitor bad modelines whether i use nvidia, nv, or vesa driver... it is detecting the resolution correctly in Xorg.0.log, at least... [14:20] p1l0t, the editor is inside my virtual machine, on windows 7. To be honest, the only reason I'm using windows 7 on virtualbox is because the editor is awesome. Nusphere PhpEd. Ubuntu editors suck :p [14:20] solow or else you could chown the files to your username [14:21] UltraParadigm, yes, happens because the app is not configured to use pulseaudio [14:21] is anyone else having bad modeline problems? [14:21] your mp3 player is the device playing the music [14:21] nikolam: those programs choke because they are trying to access disk. firefox does a lot of osync, and hangs until data is written. i/o scheduling is not up to the level of the process scheduler. you could use "ionice" to set your large copy jobs at low priority. === northwoods is now known as Northwoods [14:21] your pc just routes it to your earphones [14:21] indus: You mean the sound preferences app isn't configured for pulse?

[14:21] UltraParadigm, no the app playing music isnt [14:21] Oh NM, it's showing both now [14:22] hmm [14:22] i mean defaault os , to be something esle [14:22] xD [14:22] thune3, its just default desktop install. And it behaves like a pig. Thanks i will see what good ionice cam do and where it can be set. [14:22] so pulse depends on Alsa? I thought they were both independent [14:22] thune3, its not problem on priprity. I want my user experience to have highest priority. not damn server thing i dont need [14:23] Guys any idea how i can change the boot order , or set the default os to be something else ? [14:23] its desktop should not there be default setting for desktop usage on ubuntu then [14:23] UltraParadigm: Heres a (complicated) diagram: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Pulseaudio-diagram.png [14:23] Thanks! [14:24] yes ultra.. and since you didnt tell the os what device to use with the mp3 player..it used default or a device that was free [14:24] nikolam: what do you mean "server thing i don't need"?

[14:54] sorry video player [14:54] what does this wine error mean ---> http://pastebin.com/4pChXLbh [14:54] Anyone know how I can hear sound through JACK? When I start the Audio Connection Kit, all my sound stops. What do I have to do next? [14:54] taconcheese: .exes are Windows executables and would require Wine to install. [14:54] !wine | taconcheese [14:54] taconcheese: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [14:54] Pici: but i don't like wine.

[14:55] Kingsy101, who says its an error [14:55] My second question is, gdm resets my video by restarting the X server completely which makes my video work correctly when the laptop comes back from any type of suspend (disk/ram). kdm does NOT duplicate this behaviour, nor does it seem to honor the pm settings. How can I make kdm reset the X server like gdm does? [14:55] acovrig: great [14:55] ok...how would chmod help me install stuff from my desktop.. namely .sh file for vendetta [14:55] Andrew9, hi [14:55] Andrew9, so i have been wondering [14:55] indus: hey [14:55] indus - well it didnt install so something must be wrong [14:55] that's what i think too [14:55] indus: hdd is fine [14:55] hi, i was trying to update ubuntu using apt-get upgrade - and got this - http://pastebin.com/QvRgPqnh - the same package shows as being retrieved multiple times. i dont think it retrieves it multiple times, but how do i change it from printing the get for the saem package multiple times? [14:55] Andrew9, so grub is pointing to a wrong partition then [14:55] but i thought it could in somehow,someway we can invert that.. [14:55] Andrew9, sorry but i have to go now [14:55] taconcheese: you could try mangler instead http://www.mangler.org/ [14:56] bye indus xD ttyl [14:56] with some program or command [14:56] Andrew9, recovery mode aint working hmm ? [14:56] indus: maybe ext4 is corrupted [14:56] anyone know a way to stop slowmotion like behavior in ubuntu 10.04 when watching fullscreen videos??? [14:56] deadmaus: are you the actual deadmaus? [14:56] indus: no [14:56] Andrew9, well, if it drops you to a shell, you can do a fsck [14:56] veer, decrease resolution [14:56] wizzo: nah, he's prolly making music on macs [14:56] indus - any idea what I should do? [14:56] deadmaus: i see no errror [14:56] deadmaus: I use a mac, am I deadmaus? [14:56] veer, turn off anti-anilising.. [14:56] Kingsy101, well, #winehq is best option [14:56] UltraParadigm, Jack stops pulseaudio... your software has to be jack enabled... try installing pulseaudio-module-jack ?\ [14:56] ok [14:56] say yes! [14:56] fuck me if I buy a new PC and I have to install Win!! lol [14:57] anti is off [14:57] bcuraboy: That was a feature of some higher end desktop video cards a few years ago but I've never heard of it on a laptop .. You should consult with the manual or call acer tech support for the answer to that one .. ask them if your hdmi port is input/output or if it is strictly output.. [14:57] jmestrada: Please mind your language here, this is a family friendly channel. [14:57] oops!! sorry pal, very sorry [14:57] gbillings: do you see the same package having been fetched more than once? [14:57] Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is loader 1 and 2 [14:57] veer, is it playing over the net..can you play off the hd no issues? [14:57] why is that? [14:57] hd [14:57] Kingsy101, wine tells so many things its difficult to understand really [14:57] tell me something.is there any other program beside wine to execute the fk***** .exe file? [14:57] jmestrada ~ hehe I just bought a new laptop in December. I 'cut' the drive and dual boot. only reason I keep Windows7 around at all is for some .NET programming and games. :) [14:57] I understand your pain :) [14:57] hmm [14:57] indus: maybe i'll just reinstall the system.. [14:58] indus - np thanks anyways [14:58] Andrew9, really? [14:58] caffeinegum: I am trying to use xmms with the JACK output plugin. I have it configured to use the JACK plugin now, but it still goes silent [14:58] Andrew9, nooooooooooooooooooooo [14:58] veer, how much ram you got and is the video hd? do you have a gfx card? [14:58] XMMS with the JACK output should work right? [14:58] its only after i installed ubuntu10.04 in 9.04 it was fine [14:58] indus: i am not sure what i'm going to do yet [14:58] gbillings: lines 13-17 are the same package being downloaded [14:58] I have a Ubuntu box that supports 2 cpus. I know each CPU? has its own bank of ram, but does that mean I can not use the other bank unless there is a second CPU installed? [14:58] daedmaus: try running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [14:58] caffeinegum: XMMS with the JACK output should work right? [14:58] pg: I thought dual partitions, but I won't help if I only can use Win one lol [14:58] daedmaus: then try installing the package again [14:58] bcuraboy: This isn't really something that a magic command will allow you to do .. the video chipset will need to support it .. you could install virtualbox and install you choice of windows on said virtualbox [14:59] indus: first i'm going to boot from livecd and sheck grub [14:59] Andrew9, boot with live cd , then run a fsck [14:59] gbillings: all the packages install fine. it is just that when installing, apt-get shows multiple fetches of the same file [14:59] in stdout [14:59] and try it with windows? [14:59] Andrew9, so you can repair the dir [14:59] deadmaus: was deadmau5 taken? [14:59] veer, you may need to re-install yur gfx card..are your swaps being used? [14:59] Andrew9, ok good luck, [14:59] indus: sure, if nothing helps i'll have to format [14:59] Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is loader 1 and 2 why is there so many of them and why is this? [14:59] deadmaus: does it do that for ALL packages? [14:59] veer_ ~ also, if you are using an ATI card (like my laptop has) then install the fglrx package from restricted [14:59] XFGolden: i didnt check [14:59] i got 3 gb ram 512mb ram on nvidia [15:00] sounds good [15:00] gbillings: most packages. sometimes, it is 5 reps, sometimes 3, sometimes 2, etc [15:00] is the restricted drivers enabled still?? [15:00] but the output shows more than once [15:00] bcuraboy: You really need to confirm that it's even possible with your hardware before you keep trying to do it .. This may be a fruitless venture [15:00] I can't even run tests from the LiveCD because LiveCD just doesn't start any process or interface [15:00] gbillings: it doesnt download the package multiple times, but it skips to row next during the download. [15:00] on top of 512 on ram it borrows an extra 512 mb ram from pc to boost to 1gb ram [15:00] taconcheese: I'm leaving, go nuts [15:00] Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is loader 1 and 2 why is there so many of them and why is this?? [15:01] hi all. I know this could be a way out of topic question, but can you recommend any channel here in freenode that talks about win2003server? i have some questions, but dont know where to ask [15:01] hmmm ok.how about the other question?is there any other program beside wine to run .exe files? [15:01] they are all derivatives of wine. crossover, cedega. [15:01] deadmaus: which repositories do you have instaalled [15:01] anybody here has Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit running on 320 GB HD? [15:01] veer, thats good...please verify that your drivers are still enabled...sometimes an update will reset those drivers [15:01] i got with a 500gb HD [15:01] hello.. ubuntu should not try to start the failsafe server when the kms server fails.... because then the system will hang [15:02] gbillings: main, restriced, universe, multiverse, medibuntu [15:02] jmes, it sounds like your cd-rom may not be securely fastened..to power/ ide-sata ports [15:02] bcuraboy: yeah you could use virtualbox and install your choice of windows to the virtualbox .. It's not going to allow you to play real games but it will allow you to execute windows programs [15:02] or it may not be getting the power it needs? [15:02] Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is loader 1 and 2 why is there so many of them and why is this? [15:03] stupidxp: that sounds logic, i will check === beni-_ is now known as beni- [15:03] i just did a aptitude search glx but there r to many witch one do i need ? [15:03] hmmm i see.thank u a lot [15:04] if you have a gefore fx 5500+ go for the glx-new [15:04] deadmaus: does it seem to download it more than one time... as in does it show the downloading percentage for every single repeat? === gb_ is now known as GaMeBoY [15:04] i use the function dirname() from libgen.h always meet a segment fault under ubuntu 10.04,is there any bugs? [15:04] gonna smoke... :D [15:04] gbillings: let me start a new download and check [15:05] stupidxp: don't think it should be problem with Serial/Power connections, otherwise WinXP installation wouldn't start when I tried just to test the machine [15:05] zela ~ the reason for the 2 windows entries is os_proper sees the beginning partition on the drive (which is usually a boot partition for windows) and then the actual windows partition (which is not bootable as that's what the first windows one does) [15:05] i just did a aptitude install glx and it says i got it already [15:05] you should already have the drivers there, if you can't see them or they are not enabled [15:05] you will need to re-install anyway [15:05] and then enable them [15:05] and restart [15:05] gbillings: no. it starts with 1 - say 15%, then next line 15% - 60% etc [15:05] the 2 ubuntu ones are 1) the actual 'normal' boot entry for ubuntu, and 2) the other is for booting in administratively in case there's like disc corruption, or your dpkg is broken or whatever [15:06] pgpkeys, Same for Ubuntu? They have recovery modes what are they for?

[15:16] dame i cant force quit it O_o [15:16] tho most bios past 2003 should support over 500gb [15:17] stupidxp: I think I did all kind of checks on BIOS [15:17] :D [15:17] jmestrada ~ gimme a sec. i gotta look it up in hwinfo [15:18] stupidxp: the MB is a ASRock g41m-vs2 [15:18] veer, sounds like an issue...a restart may fix things...but if your video card has issues or this persists instal 163 version drivers [15:18] ty jmes [15:18] Hello #ubuntu irc members!

[15:21] xD [15:21] then read the docs in the bz2 or from the site you got it from. since the installation process is determined by the author of the software, you need to find out what he/she says is the way to install it [15:21] i'm thinking jmes may need to look things over and get a better powersource possibly [15:22] whats the ubuntu alternative for windows based Cool Edit Pro or Audacity? [15:22] veer, i know upgrades sometimes reset drivers...so i'd make sure those are good to go first...you would experience less performance because of this [15:22] pgpkeys: there is no documentation included in the GNU-ARM tar.bz2 unzipped folder; and there is none on the website.

[16:27] gotta love the IRC's no-timezone thing lol [16:27] Bradleyd: can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:28] Andrew9: and it seems to be interfering with the correct generation of your initramfs, which is likely to lead to other problems [16:28] the nano source list will not work [16:28] jtaylor13: in what way? [16:28] can someone look at http://pastebin.com/aZyZmzyv - it doesn't work [16:29] acovrig, its deleted from pastebin [16:29] psusi: i've been running this system from beta2 stage, and i was thinking about reinstalling. i'll reinstall it when i got some free time. thanks for your help [16:29] acovrig, I suggest you to use sshfs instead of sftp [16:30] Hi. Running Lucid. I've configured my ATI 10.5 proprietary driver for "separate single desktop" operation. Now I get 2 desktops when I log in, how can I make my window manager work only on 0.0 and not on 0.1?

[16:31] zoug, ok: http://pastebin.com/vBa2WN50 [16:31] bastid_raZor, not when the script works when not running from PostSession [16:31] dli, why? [16:31] nvm got it [16:32] jtaylor13: you have to give the full path - like sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , but as was pointed out before your file might be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [16:34] so why doesn't it work when adding /path/to/script in PostSession/Default [16:34] acovrig, dli, sshfs uses sftp.. [16:34] zoug, I'm guessing sshfs=SecureSHellFileSystem and sftp=SecureFileTransferProtocol [16:34] acovrig, if you want auto sync, try something like unison [16:35] dli, thanks `apt-get install`... [16:36] trying to setup the botchk when i run sudo ./autobotchk pamela.conf -dir /setup/eggdrop/pamela/ -nomail [16:36] acovrig, yeah the filesystem which uses sftp :D [16:37] i get ERROR: are you sure you are running form a bot directory [16:37] i tried this. /etc/apt/sources.list but it will not give me the list. [16:37] #openoffice.org [16:37] oops [16:37] sorry [16:37] the path is correct though?

[16:39] Pici: Surely there should be a way to fool the browser. Thats pretty crude [16:39] Neurotiquette, modify the brouser header?

[16:44] anyone have any recommendations on how I'd have a user log into comp1 then log out&log into comp2 and have it be as if they are on comp1 (settings,files,ect. sync via server of course)? [16:44] jtaylor13: Its not an executable, you'll need to run an application like nano or cat to look at the file. so: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [16:44] acovrig, that's what you need, unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ [16:44] zio: Yes, but it will not be installed on an upgrade. === jon__ is now known as jmhsieh [16:45] piccu im registerd but still cant chat: Pancake_ is now registered to mymumhates@me.com, with the password helloworld. and i get == Cannot Send To Channel: ##C++ ??

[16:46] guys im planning getting to ubuntu, but can I still play games like gunz?? [16:47] jtaylor13: You'll need to use sudo if you want to be able to modify the file. [16:47] Pici: i did that to open file. [16:47] is there a bootable live program or distro that can edit/wipe out grub in case something goes wrong? [16:48] Pancake_, gunz? .. is that a windows game? [16:48] jtaylor13 what do you want to edit' [16:48] jtaylor13: Okay, and do you see any lines that match the url that the error is giving you?
