[00:00] this is a test, if u see it please say something to me [00:00] mbelo: something [00:00] * Zoohouse is away: brb [00:00] maco: thanks:) [00:02] hello I have a problem with my fresh install. The microphone is not working. I tried both an external and the microphone build on the laptop and none of them work. any ideas? [00:02] !away > Zoohouse (Zoohouse, see the private message from ubottu) [00:03] Hi, When I try to do apt-get update in terminal i get a 403 forbidden. I am behind a proxy and I have set the http_proxy variable. Synaptic runs fine. [00:06] jamil_1: can you pastebin the output and send us the url? [00:06] question on file sharing. I would like to be able to mount a directory from remote machine into a share on my Windows box. Yes, I know what Samba. What I'm looking for something with a much lower overhead for setup that I can do from user space for when I need this kind of service for only a few days [00:07] esj: does it need to be mounted as a share? otherwise you could use sftp for file transfers [00:08] Loshki: here it is: http://pastebin.org/336768 [00:08] jamil_1: apt-get -s -o Acquire::http::Proxy="http://proxy.server.here" update ; if that works there is a way to make this permanent [00:08] it would be best if it was a share. The problem with the data into places is synchronization [00:08] any ideas about the microphone problem? [00:08] jamil_1: forget the -s [00:09] I've used unison to try and keep directory synchronized but, it's error prone. I frequently forget and change the same files on both sides [00:09] Question: I'm trying to put my current Hardy installation (on HDD 1, we'll call it) into a blank ext3 partition on another harddrive (call it HDD 2). How do I best go about this? === no-name is now known as Guest39897 [00:09] esj: well, Samba *is* the method of choice for sharing filesystems with windows machines. Can we help you get it working? [00:10] I've read up on backing up and restoring my system, but I'm not sure if I need to install Ubuntu again on teh empty ext3 partition. === gr0gg0_ is now known as gr0gg0 [00:10] Samba is way too much overhead especially if I'm going to throw the configuration away after three or four days [00:10] jamil_1: looks like it's ignoring the proxy settings. Are you sure it's set. What does echo $http_proxy say in the window you're running apt-get from? [00:11] it's great for semipermanent slouch long-term setups but, for transient "get into the machine, fix some bugs, send the invoice" type of work it's not so good [00:11] halp! how can i exit out of full screen in virtualbox ? [00:11] also, I don't always on the machine so I can't install it or configure it hence the user space part of the request [00:11] I was thinking about something like webdav might be one possibility [00:11] esj: suppose we could give you a 20 line samba config? Would that do it? [00:12] wel, the module worked on ubuntu, but not on debian [00:12] Loshki: it prints the http_proxy variable's value. I thinks it is set properly because if I do wget google.com, I do get the page. [00:12] it would work for cases where I own machine and have. It won't work on various web hosting sites [00:12] you know, that would be a really good tool so yeah, I would like it if you're willing to share [00:12] any people have trouble with tty console out of frecuency with ubuntu 10.04 [00:13] any help on the boot problem i having [00:13] jamil_1: then I can't explain why it works for synaptic and not for apt-get. Did you try thune3's suggestion? [00:13] !anyone [00:13] 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? [00:14] whats a host key ? [00:14] is that the windows key ? [00:15] omg [00:15] esj: my samba config is here: http://pastebin.org/336777. You'll need to make appropriate edits of course, and heed the comment on the first line [00:15] thans very much [00:15] How do I start an application like totem and make it play an mp3 file on the host when I am connected trough SSH? [00:16] 1totem | X-Sleepy-X === ubuntu_ is now known as setz [00:16] X-Sleepy-X: try to add before command DISPLAY=":0.0" [00:16] hi [00:16] So I just installed 10.04 64-bit, desktop edition [00:16] wieshka: ok thanks [00:16] DJ_HaMsTa: er, it's an ssh key which uniquely identifies a host, so you can tell if someone tries to impersonate the host or if it gets replaced. At least, that's one definition. Does it fit? [00:17] and on the first boot (and subsequent boots), I'm getting grub error 15 [00:17] !ask | setz [00:17] setz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:18] X-Sleepy-X: er, you know you can't get remote sound via ssh, right? [00:18] Loshki: I just want the host computer to start playing music [00:18] Loshki: not the client [00:18] Loshki, - hello [00:19] setz, try reinstall grub2 [00:19] !grub2 | setz [00:19] setz: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:19] Loshki, im trying to exit out of virtualbox but i cant seem to find the host key [00:19] will do. Does grub2 have any distinct advantages over grub? [00:20] setz: no [00:20] Loshki: why - you can restream sound with VLC over SSH tunnel :) [00:20] X-Sleepy-X: ok, that should work. For quick cli playback, I use mplayer mp3file... [00:20] sera [00:20] k [00:20] wieshka: you can? I had no idea... [00:20] setz: Grub ok, Grub 2 :( [00:20] hiexpo: hi there [00:20] X-Sleepy-X: yeah - mplayer will be better for cli than totem [00:20] ok thanks [00:21] Loshki: there are many things what you can do with vlc :) [00:21] X-Sleepy-X: for advanced you can enable VLM interface for VLC and use webpage to control your player remotly :) [00:21] wieshka: I only use if for dvds. Otherwise I use mplayer. Is there some special tweak you need to restream sound over vlc? [00:22] Loshki: just listening and streaming interface [00:22] Hi every one, [00:22] Do some one have time to help me with an autorun problem? I can't find a similar one on the internet or on the FAQ [00:22] i mean, in ssh remote host stream your audio [00:22] wieshka: nice, ty [00:22] on local listen :) [00:23] but i prefer VLM web interface for controling remotly [00:23] there are few other remote interfaces for VLC [00:23] where do you configure openbox to start automatically wiht startx for all users? usr share? [00:24] Needing a hand: I need to copy my primary harddrive into a newly-formatted ext3 partition on another harddrive. I'd like to do this preserving all of my settings, files, permissions, etc. How? [00:24] with a hadouken [00:25] shinku-hadouken!! [00:25] magicianlord: there many variants how to run script on startup [00:25] wieshka: i know htat i can just edit xinitrc in home, but id like a common setting [00:25] how to configure mys tty console but i see out of focus or in a corner of my monitor any guy can help me [00:25] ty [00:26] magicianlord: you prefer GUI or CLI ? [00:26] cli [00:26] Tvmble: won't 'cp' work just fine? [00:26] magicianlord: hmm you can add your software to proper rc.d level [00:26] still trying to figure out how to apply an emerald theme i downloaded for lubuntu [00:26] gdw2: I'm a little hesitant about that comment, as the articles I've been reading have disagreed over whether or not that'll keep my permissions, hard links, etc. on the filesystem intact. [00:27] to start it with gdm [00:27] gdw2: command, not comment* [00:27] also, after i installed a command line system 10.04 and then xorg and openbox, i have no opengl acceleration with intel. should i reinstall the drivers? it worked in a gnome install [00:27] brrr openbox is a dekstop manager ? [00:27] window manager. plus some other stuff [00:27] Tvmble, you could use dd [00:27] it is the best [00:27] magicianlord, glxinfo|head [00:28] Tvmble, it will copy the contents of the HDD byte-for-byte [00:28] ok dli . what does that do? [00:28] magicianlord: i prefer MAC OS X for grafic interface :) [00:28] Monotoko: Will it work to move from a full HD to a formatted partition on another HD? [00:28] Tvmble: I think you're filesystems would ahve to be the same [00:28] Tvmble: And you'd ahve to have the same MBR [00:29] Tvmble, if you want to back a partition, try partimg [00:29] hello guys. sorry for posting my question again but I had a disconnection. I have a problem with my microphone. It seems that it is not working. Any ideas of how I can fix that will be appreciated :) [00:29] Tvmble, it will copy the exact harddrive, you can shrink the partition etc when you get it all on the new harddrive [00:29] check, run alsamixer from terminal and look for anything without 00 in the bottom [00:29] check: check out alsamixer for begin [00:30] check, if your microphone is plugged in properly(correct socket), try alsamixer [00:30] gdw2, Monotoko, dli: I currently have XP installed on one partition of the destination HD, and would like to move my existing Hardy install into another partition on that destination HD. Will dd do that? [00:30] HotTuna: Line in and Mic 80pc do not have 00 in the bottom they have MM instead [00:31] Do some one have the time to help my with a autorun problem were ubuntu can't find the autorun program in a CD/DVD when there is one there? [00:31] check, hit m on it to unmute [00:31] Tvmble: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=886569 [00:31] how come flash content is as crappy in virtualbox using windows as in ubuntu ? [00:31] Tvmble, no need for dd, better to do it manually, mount the partition: rsync -axvHA /* /path/to/dest [00:31] check, when ur done hit esc to exit alsa mixer [00:31] Tvmble, you will have to modify the /etc/fstab afterwards, though [00:31] ! [00:32] Tvmble, and install grub on the new hdd [00:32] what's better: gnome-terminal or lxterminal? network manager or wicd? [00:32] Tvmble, use sudo grub-install /dev/device [00:32] magicianlord, lxde + wicd [00:33] dats what i though [00:33] dli and HotTuna: Thanks... I'll give that a shot. :D [00:33] Tvmble, make sure you do on root of drive [00:34] like /dev/sda not 1 or 2 [00:34] This might be a bit of a weird question, but... I'm doing some research and for that I need Python 2.2 on Ubuntu 10.04. I'm going to assume there's no package for that anymore. If I compile from source, and run things directly from that 2.2 runtime in an isolated folder, will that ensure that any other installed Python-packages do not get used? [00:34] how do i save an image of my current install with dd to an img file? [00:35] HotTuna: Problem solved :) thank you the sound is very low when i record but thats not a serious problem [00:35] check, turn volume up lol [00:35] use arrow keys [00:35] wieshka: Thank you too [00:35] dli: thank you too!! [00:35] magicianlord, try partimg [00:36] dli: i will need to research that [00:36] magicianlord, what is meant by .img file === switchgirl is now known as Nemesis [00:36] you can name it whatever you like and copy it back with dd [00:36] i want an image file that i can boot from on a usb stick and then overwrite my hard drive, to restore it all with settings [00:36] name it .img then [00:36] HotTune: what is the S/PDIF option? this one is on mute too.. === Nemesis is now known as GoddessNemesis [00:37] magicianlord, sudo dd if=/dev/sdX9 of=/path/to/img.file bs=4096 [00:37] HotTuna: what is the S/PDIF option? this one is on mute too.. [00:37] just like dell did with their ubuntu 8.04 [00:37] ok wildbat ty [00:37] sudo dd if=/the/old/drive of=/file.img bs=1M [00:37] don't make sense last night you appeared to not know anything HotTuna now your giving help with knowing what your doing lol and by the help your giving it's obvious you do :) [00:37] hiexpo, ? [00:38] wildbat: and how to restore for a bootable usb stick? [00:38] HotTuna, you were lost last night trying to get wifi going /// oh ya not at proper speed [00:38] magicianlord, use unetbootin [00:38] on hte image file? [00:38] hiexpo, I was lost because its broken in ubuntu not on my pc [00:39] HotTuna, oh ok [00:39] forums have alot of info on it [00:39] but none has helped me the least bit. [00:39] MacGyver_: not an expert, but if in a shell you export a modification to PATH, putting your test binary dir first. And exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to any lib dir that is there too. It should all run using your local install. [00:40] what do i need to do to have those choices on login screens [00:40] HotTuna, i don't rem what is the problem with it maybe i can help ? [00:40] Sorry for asking a third time: [00:40] But do any one know how to solve the problem were ubuntu can't find a autorun program in a CD/DVD (for example, asus installation disk for asus probe and other essential programs)? If no one has the time or knowlage, please send me to a place who can aid me. (I have scanned the FAQ and internet for help but in vain). [00:40] hiexpo, its ok, I gave up but I appreciate your help. [00:40] thune3: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. [00:41] albinsson, you need to run a windows program on a cd? [00:41] albinsson, Just a guess, but those auto-load programs are probably Windows based. [00:41] MacGyver_: there also may be some python specific environment variables you can set, i don't know [00:41] I tried both windows and linux ones [00:41] in wine and without [00:41] albinsson, are you trying to install a driver or..? can you provide some more detail [00:42] HotTuna, OK //// that ole saying goes if i quit i never succeeded if i kept trying but never succeeded I won / because I never stooped trying [00:43] I'm not trying to install a driver at the moment, but i'm trying to install programs that does this automaticly or others that let me acces part of my motherboard that now is blocked === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [00:43] albinsson: I would think asus probe is a windows only program [00:43] hiexpo, ok. I get terrible speeds / signal strength from close distance on bcm4312 with any driver. [00:43] hiexpo, also, It does work fine on windows xp. [00:43] HotTuna, ok i will find a fix one sec [00:43] I downloaded a linux version from the asus homepage but with the same result [00:43] HotTuna, Get the latest firmware? [00:43] so the h/w is not failed. [00:44] majuk[TXS], I believe I have tried with the very latest but idk at this point I have tried everything b43 driver ndiswrapper broadcom sta..... [00:45] HotTuna, bcm 4312 who's chipset is that what is the wifi card [00:45] I'm trying to get a custom kernel to boot on a macbook pro. The vanilla kernel works fine. The custom kernel complains at boot that the Disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present. Any idea what driver I'm missing? I've included pretty much all the SATA drivers. [00:45] broadcom bcm4312 rev 03 [00:46] HotTuna, Well, to get my BCom card functional (4318), I had feed the firmware download from the site into 'bcfwcutter' [00:46] k [00:46] Or something to that effect. [00:46] majuk[TXS], I have done that, but the driver provides bad speed, I even tried to cut the f/w out of my working xp driver but to no avail slow speeds / poor signal === david is now known as Guest40101 [00:47] majuk[TXS], oh this also works alot better on 9.10 [00:47] HotTuna, :\ That sucks, my 4318 preforms great. [00:47] majuk[TXS], its ok I have a NIC ;-) [00:47] Indeed, good sir. [00:47] which someone helped me fix also [00:47] AAA helped me alot ;\ [00:47] and someone else but I cant remember who [00:48] verbose boot says that the ext3 filesystem on root is working. after a bit, "init: plymouth main process (78) killed by SEGV signal" [00:48] HotTuna, - read this all of it and it will work OK http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=281.0 [00:49] hiexpo, ok ;-D [00:49] HotTuna, i am a wifi guy just was tired last night and did not want to get into it [00:49] hi ppl any one now if is any ubuntu application folder whit icons like osx ??? [00:49] Can anyone help with my computer repeatedly crashing? [00:50] hiexpo, what is meant by 'wifi guy' [00:50] !asl | Maple12 [00:50] Maple12: Most of us don't speak American Sign Language, please try english instead. ✌ [00:50] * maco does [00:50] HotTuna, i work wifi testing cards etc and making them work [00:50] * maco wrote a program to teach it, if y'all want to learn [00:50] this is english [00:51] Maple12 can you be more specific [00:51] !ask | Maple12_ [00:51] Maple12_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:51] hiexpo, cool, I just saw on that website about low tx power with the sta drivers THAT is my problem i think. [00:51] maco what program is it ? [00:51] argggh who decided this was a good idea [00:51] He didn't mean asl. :P [00:51] HotTuna, with linux [00:51] plymouth can't be removed?! [00:51] ubuntu has some method of logging the actions of an installer program, doesn't it? [00:51] DJ_HaMsTa: http://launchpad.net/gally-project [00:51] there is some command line method of doing this? i used to know, but forgot [00:51] ubuntu icon application folder? is it any [00:51] Maple12 what do you do before the computer crashes? [00:52] ukixx-baby: do you just want to install an icon theme? [00:52] ukixx-baby: or are you looking for one location where all applications are stored? you wont find that [00:52] HotTuna: I can hear my voice through the headset but when I use skype and when I record my voice cannot be heard any ideas? [00:52] no i need to get to the icon application folder... like mac os u now [00:52] check: audio driver bug [00:52] Well, my computer crashes every few minutes and remarks "Check battery state... [OK]" and it is annoying. I can't live with it [00:53] do ubuntu have any ? [00:53] check: the hardware has an analogue feedback loop which is why you hear it live [00:53] ukixx-baby, - rem this is not mac [00:53] Newbie struggles: Things seemed to work on fresh install of lucid lynx until this week. Now numerous problems, seems to be permissions related: sudo doesn't work ("must be setuid root") ; can't su ("Authentication Failure") ; Update Manager won't successfully install updates ; can't run Root Terminal ; CAN install new programs through Software Center. Can anyone help? [00:53] check: but it's analogue... its built into the hardware, bypassing the OS. your driver needs a quirk to enable it [00:53] Maple12 do you have a laptop or a stationairy computer? [00:53] daa i now [00:53] check, hrm, does skype use specific devices for the mic [00:54] check: please file a bug against the "linux" package: ubuntu-bug linux [00:54] maco, HotTuna: what's the next step I should take? [00:54] hiexpo, um, forgive me but what does that website intend that I do ? [00:54] i m big time unix user but i m new to ubuntu [00:54] stationary [00:54] HotTuna, I'm not sure, that was a 4 year old patch he directed you to. [00:54] Maple12 check if ubuntu thinks you have a laptop [00:54] just like now if that any application folder in side the root [00:54] HotTuna, - it just will show you how to make more use of your wifi card [00:55] anyone know what i'm talking about? there's some program that helps me record all the side effects of a command. what is that program? [00:55] application plus icons.... [00:55] check, does skype ask for a device in the settings for your mic ...? [00:55] HotTuna, - somethings or most will not apply to your needs but the fisx will work so be ath [00:55] Well, I've made no sense with finding out my OS' assumptions [00:55] ok I will do that now [00:55] ukixx-baby: /usr/share/icons/* or /usr/share/pixmaps/ but that is only for icons /usr/bin/ is where most binaries are I guess.. [00:56] ^fix [00:56] hiexpo, all I see is some .patch file [00:56] StaticShock, You're talking about logging in general, which is already done. You might be able to find the pertinent info in /var/log/messages or, if you're looking for install specific info, /var/log/apt/ [00:56] StaticShock, use 'cat' to see the content of those files [00:56] HotTuna, - ok does it apply to your card? [00:56] majuk[TXS], no, that's not what i'm talking about [00:56] HotTuna: no everything is ok with skype [00:57] StaticShock: strace maybe? [00:57] no [00:57] something apt-related [00:57] i think [00:57] anyone see / responding to my newbie struggles? [00:57] check, and everything is unmuted and turned up in alsamixer ? [00:57] HotTuna yes it is [00:57] hiexpo, no. [00:58] it allows me to run arbitrary installation programs and maybe adds a revertible record of what happened to apt somehow [00:58] exept the s/pdif sectio which is muted [00:58] check, you got a volume icon in your top right? [00:58] How do I find out if it assumes laptop use? [00:58] check, thats ur digital output [00:58] i've totally run into this program on the ubuntu wiki [00:59] HotTuna: the S/PDIF is MM the S/PDIF D is OO should I change any of them? [00:59] HotTuna, ok than don't do it if is it not your card than no if it is your card patch it bcm always has an issue in linux and we have to patch them to make them work [00:59] Newbie struggles: Things seemed to work on fresh install of lucid lynx until this week.

[01:00] arand, ty [01:01] HotTuna, - there is instructions on how to do it there each patch is different // all a patch is , is a fix modifying the driver to do what we want it to do [01:01] HotTuna: should I type pastebin a play - L in the terminal? [01:01] check, no.... copy the output of aplay -L in the terminal to www.pastebin.com and link me [01:01] HotTuna: I can hear myself now in my testcalls at skype but the recordings are of very low quality [01:02] check, what card? [01:02] check, alsamixer has the info on the top left [01:02] HotTuna: Chip: Realtek ALC260 [01:03] check, nice card i got a 268 [01:03] HotTuna: hope it works fine for u :) [01:03] check, is only skype affected ? === Guest40101 is now known as Falcon31 [01:03] check, i never use the mic though... only output.. [01:04] brb [01:04] is anyone familiar with firefox running flash movies extremely slow or laggy in 9.04? I've tried several fixes with no change?

[01:04] this is linux ;\ [01:04] gz0: I am on 9.10, but the solution is mainly to upgrade to 10.04 [01:05] HotTuna: Maybe it will help with the new changes in AlsaMixer [01:05] gz0: no what ChogyDan said is wrong [01:05] check, no need I assure you... [01:05] HotTuna, - http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=5675.0 i could have that card working in 5 minutes [01:05] check: gz0 soon if it hasn't already happended, Firefox in 8.04, 9.04, and 9.10 will all get a proper upgrade [01:06] what has adobe done now [01:06] ChogyDan: ^ messed up auto complte [01:06] sebsebseb: is there anything I can do now to fix it? I can even full screen a flash movie and I have a 7000m nvidia video card :( [01:06] hey [01:06] HotTuna: It is so strange that I can hear myself from the speakers and I cannot complete a call [01:06] sebsebseb: ok [01:07] ChogyDan: any links you can point me to that explain what your saying? === patrick is now known as Guest34489 [01:07] gz0: theres a fix for the full screen Flash issue I can link you to, but I don't know if it also works on 9.04 [01:07] check, please pastebin that or I don't know how to help you === kyle_136 is now known as kyso1995 [01:07] check: i have the same thing on my other laptop. its a driver problem [01:07] sebsebseb: ok, link me anyways i definitely appreciate it, and thanks as well to ChogyDan for the response [01:07] hiexpo, where do I get the source from and what .patch file is correct? [01:07] check: i used to live with ubuntu's audio guy. he taught me how to debug some of this, and i know for sure that finding the right quirk is what'll fix that on mine [01:07] gz0: 9.04 is a great release, and you got until end of October with security updates [01:08] HotTuna, - ok let me get it for you [01:08] Newbie struggles: Things seemed to work on fresh install of lucid lynx until this week. Now numerous problems, seems to be permissions related: sudo doesn't work ("must be setuid root") ; can't su ("Authentication Failure") ; Update Manager won't successfully install updates ; can't run Root Terminal ; CAN install new programs through Software Center. Can anyone help? [01:08] HotTuna: Should I pm you the link? [01:08] check, no paste link here [01:08] hmmm...my 6.06 computer refuses to upgrade to the newer ubuntu's....yet its connected to the internet...how much of a vulnerability is it? [01:08] HotTuna: http://pastebin.com/NPKwjbu0 [01:08] check, so anyone could help you.. [01:09] HotTuna, - http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=broadcom [01:09] gz0: not really, it was just my experience that flash was terrible on 9.10. I used a different kernel for a bit, but upgrading to lucid made most of what I did moot. [01:09] maco: Can you please take a look too? http://pastebin.com/NPKwjbu0 [01:09] sebsebseb: Its a fantastic release yes, but this flash issue slows down my entire system, so its making me say ew... [01:09] gz0: well 9.04 is a great release, accept a little something I didn't like about it, but heres the link: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/fixing-fullscreen-flash-in-ubuntu-1004.html [01:10] gz0: so yeah that might work in 9.04 as well [01:10] ChogyDan: I was thinking of upgrading... but whenever i do all my stuff breaks hehe i spend more time fixing other things then being happy heh [01:10] sebsebseb...i didnt like 9.04...my laptop hated it..nothing worked [01:10] check, do you have a volume icon in your top right corner [01:10] sebsebseb: fantastic thx [01:10] yes should i get there? [01:10] Falcon31: that sudo one means something's wrong on the permissions on /usr/bin/udo [01:10] Falcon31: boot into recovery mode and run: chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo [01:10] check, yes click it and hit prefs [01:11] HotTuna: I am in [01:11] maco - thanks much. will try [01:11] Falcon31, try using gksudo [01:11] omg -\ check [01:11] thats what the software center uses [01:11] gz0: also I love Firefox, but if you got Flash issues in Ubuntu, other browsers such as Epiphany or Galeon, will probably work better with it [01:11] just noticed you said you can install from there... [01:11] Monotoko: Actually, Software Center uses Policy Kit [01:12] hiexpo, where is my kernel sources dir? [01:12] check: i dont even know what command that output came from... [01:12] check, go to hardware [01:12] Jordan_U, ahha...did it used to use gksudo? [01:12] check: im not used to that one... http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh has the usual debugging script [01:12] I hate my computer... this "Check battery state" thing s annoying. Why does ths happen to old computers and comps with dual Nvidea cards? [01:12] How do I start a program in the terminal but be able to close the terminal afterwards? [01:12] check, select output + stereo analog input [01:12] Monotoko: Software Center never did, but Add/Remove did (and synaptic and update-manager still do) [01:12] KnifeySpooney: prepend nohup [01:13] check, go to input tab and put check in the internal stereo input [01:13] KnifeySpooney: or use ampersand afterward (sometimes fails) [01:13] Jordan_U, ahha thanks...methinks my knowledge is slightly out of date [01:13] check, close it and try [01:13] KnifeySpooney, nohup command [01:13] KnifeySpooney: thune3: If you use '&' after the command you also need to run "disown" before you can actually close the terminal. [01:14] check, actually, also in the input tab, there is a slider for volume ( I think ) [01:14] sebsebseb: ok ill try out ephiphany and galeon [01:14] What do I use to check if Lucid's using my stsyem like a laptop? [01:14] HotTuna: I am trying the sound right now [01:14] gz0: sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser or you end up with a game [01:15] check, if thats not it I really am not sure.... [01:15] ahah thx [01:15] HotTuna, that is for it kernals change daily long as your running 2.6.20 or greater it should be ok if it don't work oh well nothing lost but it will most likely [01:15] Maple12 dubble click on my name and I will try to help you [01:15] hiexpo, where is my kernel sources folder? [01:15] HotTuna: soulds from skype have disabled [01:16] double clicks just pull up 2 WHOIS peices [01:16] gz0: not sure when last Galeon was, but yeah that was the previous default Gnome browser before Epiphany, however distros tend to use Firefox instead. As also a secondary browser I really like Konqueror its a KDE app, but can run that in Gnome, its also rather fast. [01:16] check, what? [01:17] Jordan_U: thune3: thanks, both work fine. [01:17] HotTuna, - hold on [01:17] HotTuna: I cannot hear the other end in the skype test call [01:17] gz0: it looks like you should disable compiz also [01:17] check, :\ [01:17] KnifeySpooney: You're welcome. [01:18] HotTuna: I restored the previous settings.. tried to make a test call.. I can hear myself louder this time... I cannot explain how and why [01:18] check, so it works ?? [01:18] check, I have had very strange issues on 10.04 so I'd believe just about anything ;\ [01:18] If I wanted to install ubuntu over PXE would I download the "alternative install CD" or is that meant for other stuff? I have a PXE server up and running already and want to install on a couple of boxes with no CDs...

[01:20] check, sorry to hear that but i'm glad you could get something out of it for now. [01:20] or this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot | extor [01:21] doesnt answer my question [01:21] alternate CD or regular? [01:21] HotTuna, - sorry didn't notice they did not give that let make a auto install out of thaT patch for you i will have it ready tomorrow ok / cause if u goof it your screwed and it will damage the operating kernak so back of it for tonight i will be back with a fix tomorrow ok [01:21] hi everyone [01:21] HotTuna: Again thank you! have a great night!

[01:24] hiexpo, what is this injection anyay for bcm4312 that is important? [01:24] HotTuna, - of coarse not if i wanted to do that i would have already done it i am not that kinda guy you can ask most in here that help also [01:24] hey guys, can someone help me get this package installed? i'm doing 'sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev' but it is saying "libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4) but 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [01:24] E: Broken packages" -- what do I do? [01:24] hiexpo, only a joke ;-P [01:25] What verizon phone shoudl i get if i want to tether it [01:26] LINUX ELSE [01:26] with ubuntu of course [01:26] ChogyDan: compiz is disabled already [01:27] HotTuna, - we do not use those procedures to hack we are penetration testers to see what a hacker can do /// the only way to think like a hacker is be one lol [01:27] mib_mib: sudo apt-get build-dep libxml2-dev [01:27] mib_mib: *then* run your apt-get install [01:27] SlidingHorn: okay cool, what does build-dep do? why's it getting the wrong packages? [01:28] HotTuna, - there is a thing as good hacking changing anything on a comp is hacking it [01:28] hiexpo, ok. well so you are going to make an ubuntu package for 10.04 or? [01:29] !build-dep|mib_mib [01:29] mib_mib: build-dep is a handy APT tool that will try to automatically install build (compile) dependencies for you. In the terminal: sudo apt-get build-dep package [01:29] HotTuna, - no i don't like 10.04 it was a bad distro in my eyes so i am not gonna waste my time with it it hasto many bugs [01:30] LOL [01:30] ubottu: oh nice, doesn't apt-get build and compile things? [01:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:30] ubottu: or it just uses a package that is already compiled or something [01:30] hmmm thats not good...i rebooted my VPS...it didnt come back up -.- [01:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:30] ok well whatever you come up with ill give it a try, I have dd after all... I must go now but ill talk to ya tomorrow. [01:30] i'm trying to disable home directory encryption and one step tells me to reboot into root via grub. I've selected the OS i want to boot into and pressed 'e' to edit the parameters but i have no idea what do do from there. [01:30] how can i know how much battery left i have from the command line? [01:30] Hey, I have a garbly error message on my bootup screen. I tried to get help on the forums and they fixed one of two problems. [01:31] removable media [01:31] SlidingHorn: hmmm i'm still getting the same error when i do sudo apt-get install libxml2 now [01:32] HotTuna, - if ubuntu don't get it together i am going to go back with gentoo /// in which what ubuntu stands for but is a derivative of debian [01:32] hrmm...have you tried to apt-get install the packages it says are broken? [01:33] Something about "The di????r ?e f????w?n?o????is????????y?ye o?n???p?????se?? (overwriting it,) Continue to wait or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery." Does anyone have any ideas how to figure this out? I have a theory that it might be seeing the NTFS dual boot partition and choking on it, but I don't actually know what it's complaining about. [01:33] SlidingHorn: it says it depends on libxml2, which i already have installed, but i guess it needs version 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4 but 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4.2 is to be installed? === david_ is now known as Falcon31 [01:33] I'm back, with info on my BIOS [01:33] libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4) but 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [01:33] E: Broken packages [01:34] gvfsd-http process is accessing many ip address on the internet, why? [01:34] dual boot = train wreck to me === kyle_450 is now known as kyso1995 [01:34] I'm hoping this is an easy adjustment. But, could someone tell me how to make Pidgin show the chat history in a chat window? Like when I'm chatting with a friend and I close the chat window, the next time I get a message, all the past stuff we typed to each other is gone. I like to see the past stuff as well, like in Empathy. [01:34] just made ubuntu cluster with mpich2 system unstable [01:35] I occasionally have a couple programs that use .net that wine chokes on that I want to use. [01:35] how do you run a cronjob once every 4 hours, * 4 * * * ? [01:35] Hi there. Does anyone know a good linux app (that can run on ubuntu) for recovering deleted files? thanks [01:35] should i do sudo apt-get remove libxml2 and reinstall it? a lot of stuff will be removed it seems [01:35] just made ubuntu cluster with mpich2 system unstable HELP [01:36] thus I have a small windows partition on the back of the drive. [01:36] !cron | infid [01:36] infid: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [01:36] could anyone tell me where I can find a "Bourne-type shell, typically bash or ksh", so I can run rkhunter? [01:36] I don't know if that's what's causing the FRICKING UNREADABLE error message though. [01:36] because, well, I can't read the error message. :p [01:37] JusticeZero, - relax no need to yell at the people helping here [01:37] kaflowski, On most any consoles of Linux [01:37] infid: use the / operator, i.e. * */4 * * * [01:37] in checkinstall, what is the "package group"? [01:37] what does that term mean? [01:37] HermanDE: GNOME Terminal? [01:37] infid: 0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * [01:37] Not yelling at anyone here, yelling at whoever coded the boot screen to display a two line long error message on one single line. Bah. [01:37] =/ [01:37] which one is it [01:37] made cluster with mpich2 master keeps freezing [01:37] kaflowski, That would work.... [01:38] HermanDE thank you [01:38] what does 'broken package' mean when using apt-get? [01:38] means you have to ship it back to the post office [01:38] so where's mark shuttleworth hiding [01:38] JusticeZero, Sounds cool.... :) My framebuffer poops on the Ubuntu boot screen.... [01:38] infid: either will work [01:39] Is it possible to install 10.04 without losing the contents of the hard drive? [01:39] mib_mib, means it did not compleatly install something failed // so read to see what failed [01:39] hello [01:39] hey [01:39] !hi [01:39] 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! [01:39] after distro upgrade to lucid, there was a grub upgrade too, with the result that i cant boot win7 with grub. can smb help me with that? thank you for help! [01:39] stercor, what do you mean? [01:39] hiexpo: it says libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4) but 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4.2 is to be installed, how do i get this to work === funkyHat is now known as funkyWhat [01:39] I get to the end of th "Ubuntu . . . . ." thing and get a line of garable at the bottom. obviously an error message, but the important part is covered up. =( [01:39] stercor, It will replace applications on your harddrive.... So, what are you looking to do? [01:40] HermanDE_: Keeping /home, /etc, and /usr/local [01:40] what is a package group? what is it used for? [01:40] JusticeZero, Is that in the GRUB Boot Loader ? [01:40] mib_mib, open synaptic and type the package name and install it first [01:40] Arpad2: You probably accidentily installed grub to your windows partition. [01:40] "netstat -tp" reveals lots of connection opened by gvfsd-http, why? I tried to resolved some of the IP addresses but wasnt able to [01:40] JusticeZero: check files in /var/log/ [01:40] how can I bridge two network interfaces? [01:40] stercor, Shouldn't touch /home or /usr/local.... [01:40] Is there a way to change UNE to regular Ubuntu? [01:40] i'm not sure which one it'd be in, but probably in there [01:41] I hope you guys dont mind, but im going ot list a test email address here of mine in hope it gets picked up by some email harvesters as i am going to use it to teach spamassassin on what is spam, etc. markc@peoriasoccer.com [01:41] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay-l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [01:41] Jordan_U: thx, do you know the "cure" for this? :) [01:41] stercor, /etc may be modified depending on the application... It will not remove items that are not part of the applicaton... And will usually prompt about changed files.... [01:41] HermanDE_: The partitioning instructions only have 2 partitions. A really big one (the whole disk) and a swap partition. [01:41] Arpad2: First make sure that the grub-pc package isn't set to install to any partitions by running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" [01:42] Grub comes up, I select, it says 'Starting up..' then a graphical boot splash which is black with Ubuntu" ". . . . .", then after a little while, under those I get "Continue to wait or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery." "The di????r ?e f????w?n?o????is????????y?ye o?n???p?????se??" [01:42] why does x keep crashig on me? [01:42] stercor, Uh..... [01:42] HermanDE_: It seems as though the only option is to reformat the whole big partition. [01:42] stercor, Are you installing from the CD? [01:42] y [01:42] Jordan_U: ok , I do what you say!:) [01:42] do you want me to hit S or M? [01:42] stercor, That will blow out the whole hard drive..... [01:42] HermanDE_: That's what I figured... [01:43] stercor, Just insert the CD from within Ubuntu.... [01:43] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [01:43] Arpad2: That command will ask you some questions, the one you care about is the one about "install devices". Make sure that only your drive (/dev/sda) and *not* any partitions (like /dev/sda1) are selected as install devices. You can leave all other settings at their defaults (some will be blank, that's normal) [01:43] stercor, Let ubuntu do the update..... [01:43] that's where i'm at on the laptop beside me. (S works but it bugs me to have to skip through an error message I don't understand for a normal boot.) [01:43] HermanDE_: Ooo...that sounds just fine! [01:44] Arpad2: Then, to recover your windows partition boot sector (and get windows bootable again) follow this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [01:44] JusticeZero, Sounds like there is some data loss there..... [01:44] Jordan_U: ok, on sda is 7 os sdb is xubunt [01:44] why does x keep crashig on me? [01:44] stercor, Ubuntu is *smart* that way.... [01:44] stercor, Or use Synaptic/Update manager and let it do the right thing..... [01:44] HermanDE_: what command do I give it? I'm on a CLI. [01:44] [3]nertia is 2nd lol [01:44] It's illegible because the "Continue or.." is over the top of the error message, and I can't read it as a result. [01:45] Jordan_U: thank you for your help, I ll follow your instructions! [01:45] oops wrong chat [01:45] Arpad2: You're welcome. [01:45] fresh install = success upgrading from one to the other = a fragile train wreck and will take fatalities [01:45] i have to remove libxml2 and install a different version but it is removing a lot of packages, is this going to be a bad thing? [01:45] i mean a LOT of packages [01:45] stercor, Then use "aptitude update" and "aptitude upgrade" [01:45] apt-get update fails with the GPG signature failure... [01:45] I'll try it your way. [01:46] mib_mib, post it in pastebin before hand to be safe [01:46] stercor, apt-get is different than aptitude.... [01:46] stercor, Fix the keys for apt..... [01:46] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [01:47] HermanDE_: aptitude fails at the same place. Where do I get the keys? [01:47] dammit, firefox stopped working, now i know i'm screwed [01:47] I'm just sitting at said error message right now, let me know how you want me to exit out of the error and I can start putting in commands to check. [01:47] stercor, Here is a whole website that describes everything needed.... http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:48] HermanDE_: Sounds fine. I'll go there. [01:48] HermanDE, who told u that [01:48] help! i just logged out and gnome crashed, now my gnome is all messed up!? does this have something to do with the nvidia update? [01:49] wow that was bad [01:49] hiexpo, The wind..... [01:49] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [01:50] HermanDE_: Sounds good... === david is now known as Guest37317 === david_ is now known as mdavidh [01:51] JusticeZero: I think it means that something failed its fsck check. If I were you, I would boot the recovery cd and fsck all your partitions... === Guest37317 is now known as Falcon31 [01:51] how do i change out my libxml2 version if it has a lot of depedencies [01:51] OK.. [01:52] mib_mib: apt-cache rdepends libxml2 shows a ton of things depend on it. Why do you need to upgrade it? === funkyWhat is now known as funkyHat [01:52] mib_mib, Just install a newer version..... [01:52] mib_mib, dpkg --install (downloaded deb) [01:53] mib_mib: usually, you don't remove something to upgrade it. You just upgrade it, to avoid exactly this problem... [01:53] maco - from earlier question on permissions, no luck booting into recovery mode (couldn't figure out how), but in neither xterm or Failsafe Gnome was I allowed to chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo . gksudo didn't work either. Still can't make su or sudo work. [01:53] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [01:53] what u think there is 2 different repos one is apt and one aptitude /// Re: What's differences between apt-get and aptitude ? [01:53] yes.. for installing, it is mostly the same. [01:53] for older version of ubuntu (6.06 or earlier), the main difference is when uninstalling packages. [01:53] aptitude will also remove unused dependencies while apt-get will only install the particular package. [01:53] hiexpo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:53] so i canceled it but my shit is screwed now that i remoed a bunch of packages - how cna i recover from this? [01:53] hey guys, i'm trying to use a dual monitor set up but i can't get my primary monitor to be the one on the left & when i try to change it it just reverts back [01:53] sorry [01:53] Falcon31: booting into recovery mode means rebooting and holding shift (if grub2) or esc (if old grub) and then when you get the menu, choose "recovery mode" and then choose "root shell" [01:54] anyone got a tut on how to make a .deb package? [01:54] Falcon31: you can only do that command as root, so since you cant use sudo for it, you need recovery mode [01:54] please help, i updated nvidia thru apt-get, now my display is horribly broken...... :( [01:54] i am installing ubuntu desktop from live cd and it is taking me to login screen to login as "ubuntu" and i do not know the password [01:54] i need to get back to a stable build of the regular stuff is there somehow i can do this? [01:54] zombie-robot, - what u need on making a deb. [01:54] Ah, I loaned out my burned copy, i'll burn a new one and try that, thanks.. is there any confusion in fsck that I should know how to do first? [01:54] i want to make a theme pack [01:54] mib_mib, Did you mix stable with (really cool unstalble stuff)? [01:54] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [01:55] maco - thanks. will try again. [01:55] stayf: it shouldnt do that, but the password is either also "ubuntu" or its just-hit-enter [01:55] mib_mib: if apt-get still works, you can reinstall everything you removed. If it doesn't, you'll probably have to reinstall from scratch. A list of removed packages should be in /var/log/dpkg.log in chronological order... [01:55] zombie-robot, do you already have a package as a rpm or are u doing it from scratch ? [01:55] i want to make a theme pack with wallpapers gtk themes icons etc. [01:55] it says "Failed to initialize nvidia kernel module" what do I do ? [01:56] maco: thank you [01:56] scratch [01:56] zombie-robot, keep asking / sorry i can't help ya on that one [01:56] Is there any way to start a ssh server on a remote workstation that you are PXE installing to, so you can finish the installation without attaching a monitor and keyboard? [01:56] Loshki: okay, i'm going to try that -- can i list them all on one line? i.e. sudo apt-get install one,two,three? [01:56] maco: i am still getting authentication error [01:56] mib_mib: yes, but separated by spaces, not commas... [01:57] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [01:57] stayf: did you check the disc for errors? cuz it shouldnt be going to a login screen *at all* so maybe whats making it do that is also whats making it refuse passwords? [01:57] extor, Sure... Just install a static complied SSH server in the PXE bundle.... Ensure you have a username/password that matches the downloaded bundle.... [01:57] maco: yes, and strangly that selection leads me to login screen too [01:58] i have a problem with the lid button. the system won't react to the the button unless system was suspended once; and after the suspension, the screen off for 0.5 sec at the moment the button is pressed and released [01:58] stayf: sounds like your disc is bad [01:58] What on earth is a static compiled ssh server? [01:58] i want to know that how do i connect to internet using bluetooth modem as i do in windows [01:58] Any chance I can start a vnc instead, kinda like with centos? [01:58] maco: i installed it on another desktop a few days ago and it worked fine. the live test did not bring a login screen; i was lead straight to the desktop [01:59] Hi guys. Ubuntu one music is queued to download, and just stays queued. [01:59] Hi all! I have a wide screen monitor. Is it possible to "divide" it so that it shows two workspaces? [01:59] i want to know that how do i connect to internet using bluetooth modem as i do in windows [01:59] extor, a binary that does not have any library dependencies... Just a flat binary that runs..... [01:59] extor it means that ssh was compiled with everything it needs, it doesn't depend on dynamic libraries [01:59] HotTuna, - wow u got quiet [02:00] ahhh ok...kinda complicated. Any other possibilities such as a vnc server like centos has? [02:00] extor: install either openssh-server or vnc. But if there's no keyboard, you're going to have to add it to the pxe image somehow.. [02:00] extor, Only if the xserver starts.... And you would have to setup the PXE to start X then VNC server.... [02:01] kanhiya, You'll have to give us more info, such as the bluetooth modem model [02:01] Loshki: so i have a list of the packages, how do i make apt-get just skip them if it can't install them? [02:01] Hmm, anyone here setup AFP shares on ubuntu using netatalk? http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/ Followed that guide.. [02:01] extor, This is kind of easy.... There are a couple of good static SSH server in the world.... [02:01] But the problem is, the "share" shows up in OSX but it seems the server is rejecting my user/pass [02:01] HermanDE, offtopic but if its so easy then why doesnt the ubuntu installer include such functionality? Or does it perhaps? [02:01] extor, Just install it in your PXE... And it starts immediatly.... user/passwords are static as well.... So that would be a simple text file..... [02:02] Hi again, I'm having a problem with nvidia drivers. I installed the current drivers using jockey-gtk. This allowed me to use 1024x768, which this monitor usually uses, but it only allows me to use it at 60hz, using gentoo, and older ubuntu distros, and windows, I can do 1024x768 at 75 and 85 hz. Why is nvidia-settings only allowing me to use 60hz? [02:02] Now I followed this gudie in Ubuntu 9.10 and it worked perfectly.. [02:02] mib_mib: there's a -m option to ignore missing packages... [02:02] extor, Putting unchangeable usernames/passwords into distributions is usually considered bad.... [02:02] How exactly do I "install it in my pxe"? Do I need to mess around with kernel/append parameters? kickstart files? [02:02] help! i updated nvidia thru apt-get, and now my entire display is broken... what do I do? [02:03] I tried restoring xorg.conf, didn't work, i tried running 'nvidia-xsettings' didn't work. [02:03] extor, Starting an SSH port automatically is again not in the interest of a distribution.... Because you would need a static user/pass.... [02:03] extor: for better or worse, the developers decided an ssh server isn't part of the default desktop installation. That seems a reasonable choice... [02:04] ejv can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:04] Anyone? Im pretty stumped -.- [02:04] extor, Open up the PXE image... Look for the root filesystem.... Put the ssh binary into /usr/bin [02:04] centos includes vnc as an option [02:04] HermanDE, and that's EASY? :o === mikegerw1tz is now known as mikegerwitz [02:04] extor, look for the init.d or inittab... And insert the command to start the ssh.... [02:04] iva [02:04] extor, Ensure it is *after* the network detection...... [02:04] right! does anyone know where is the location of the sound theme files in Ubuntu? [02:05] extor: centos isn't really a desktop distro. Now stop whining about what centos does, ok? [02:05] when i choose install on my live cd, am i supposed to be lead to the live desktop (there's an install icon there), but why am i not being lead to the install without having to boot into live cd first? [02:05] even after installing thro synaptic - wine is not showing in the applications list - using 10.04 - need help [02:05] wow haha so this whole channel just has one room? [02:05] sounds crowded [02:05] hi [02:05] Hi all. I had problem with Flash player no sound. [02:06] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [02:06] sublimepua: no [02:06] install firefox oss helper thing [02:06] okay, well my system is sscrewed and i'm reinstalling -- whats the most stable version with the best package support? [02:06] i had the same problem [02:06] 10.04? [02:06] the problem is in your graphics card man [02:06] or is that too new [02:06] I found what make this. When i install libxine1-ffmpeg i get no sound from flash player [02:06] sublimepua: loads of Ubuntu channels, and other channels on this Freenode network, /list will list loads of them [02:06] i know that [02:06] Jon--: you've said that about 500 times now [02:06] check 1 - 2 [02:06] But when i remove it i get no sound from amarok. [02:06] stayf: the idea is you get to test out the distro on your hardware before committing to an install. I think the alternate CD will allow you to go straight to install... [02:06] 9.10 is stable, but i would advise the last LTS [02:06] Out`Of`Control: exit any music app then restart Firefox [02:07] stayf: Saying it again => Still needing assistance. That is what this IRC is for. [02:07] Out`Of`Control: exit amarok, run firefox then run amarok (must be in order) [02:07] flashplayer is very difficult to configure over linux [02:07] thats true [02:07] Can someone help me, ubuntu wont recognize my dvd and cd drives [02:07] stayf: every 15 minutes is considered a reasonable repeat rate... [02:07] But windows will [02:07] drivers? [02:07] Gwibber on unr is broken, facebook isn't autherizing like it should and I think its because the add button is below the screen boundery... and the window won't resize any smaller [02:07] what is LTS? [02:07] Loshki: i know, but even when i choose to go straight to the install (rather than selecting try ubuntu without changing your computer) === moe is now known as Guest56582 [02:07] !lts > mib_mib [02:07] mib_mib, please see my private message [02:08] Loshki: it still boots live cd === david_ is now known as Falcon31 [02:08] long term support.= lts [02:08] But i do get sound from flash player and virtual box. When i remove libxine1-ffmpeg. But no sound from amarok [02:08] does any one know how to disable showing "Has join..." "Has left..." the channel? [02:08] !lts [02:08] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [02:08] anybody who had problems with crysis over wine?¿ [02:08] stayf: sounds like a bug. You could report it... [02:08] okay so 10.04 is probably the best to get then [02:08] crysis doesnt like wine. especially not if you have an intel gpu [02:08] yeah. use lucid [02:08] nope nvidia gpu [02:08] thats the current one [02:08] Loshki: sounds like a waste of my time [02:08] Btw i am on 64 bit Ubuntu [02:09] Can someone help me, ubuntu wont recognize my dvd and cd drives [02:09] kbp: depends on your client. What are you using? [02:09] Loshki: pidgin [02:09] Out`Of`Control: what is the browser? [02:09] wtf cd dvd drives ?¿?¿ [02:09] have you tried crossover instead of wine? its got many fixes [02:09] maco - you're a genius. Thanks so much. [02:09] firefox [02:09] Falcon31: np [02:09] stayf: you can't have it both ways. If you won't report bugs, you don't get to whine about how they aren't fixed... [02:09] no [02:09] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [02:09] but will try it [02:09] Hello. I need help with grub. I have downgraded to legacy and lost my xp boot. Anyone know how to get it back?

[02:10] Out`Of`Control: there is not a 64-bit version of flash player, but there are alternatives. the only other option that should work is installing 32-bit firefox on a 64-bit system and installing 32-bit flash [02:10] it looks like its on dev/sda1 [02:11] AAA, Most likely considering windows can use them [02:11] I have a problem with the lid button. the system won't react to the the button unless system was suspended once; and after the suspension, the screen off for 0.5 sec at the moment the button is pressed and released. [02:11] Purpley you have 2 disk drives, and ubuntu doesn't see either, correct? [02:11] AAA, Yes [02:12] Hi there.

It should be able to detect XP. [02:13] Loshki: I found an alternative download with a text-based installer. thank you [02:13] !recover | scyther3 none of the tools are great, in my opinion, but see here: [02:13] scyther3 none of the tools are great, in my opinion, but see here:: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [02:13] stayf: excellent [02:13] I dont remember if I have.

[02:14] mib_mib: I'm not sure. Would you consider installing 10.04 from scratch and then reconfiguring what you need... [02:15] Loshki: yeah.... its in a VM so its a little more work, but i'm going to try === jimqode is now known as Guest27057 [02:15] lee_: I'll have a look at grub.cfg and make sure it looks okay, but, 99% chance it will. It's very easy for grub to do XP on its own. [02:15] AAA, Listed some info about the two including the fact that one is a reader and ones a writer, want me to pastebin it? [02:16] Purpley you should see both your drives. and what happens when you type $ eject ? [02:16] lee_: Why did you downgrade to grub legacy? [02:16] mib_mib: well, backup anything important first. If you're willing to do a from-scratch install, you've nothing to lose by attempting an upgrade first. If it all goes wrong, well you were prepared to install from scratch anyway [02:16] Purpley no need. put a cd or dvd in [02:16] Gah, stupid mac -.- [02:16] AAA, OK I just put one in [02:17] Okay, I accidentally deleted the network manager icon from the top panel, and I can't find it in the 'add to panel...' window, is there any way other way to get it back?

[02:44] if using nscd do I need to set up the nscd.config or will it learn from somewhere [02:44] unop no install what i can see but a readme [02:44] unop To install XnViewMP in KDE/Gnome menu, change the pathname of xnview's folder in XnView.desktop (Exec & Icon) [02:44] and move it to /usr/share/applications [02:44] sudo cp XnView.desktop /usr/share/applications [02:44] maraja I usually just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a #comment in front of what I want to remove. then apt-get update [02:45] AAA, what time is it 4u, u seem talkative when I goto bed lol [02:45] micael, right, so you'll have to decide where you want to place the xnview directory .. i suggest placing it in /opt/ [02:45] acovrig central === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [02:45] I mean, would restarting a disk check less than 15 minutes into checking a 4.5 TB RAID5 array mess up that array?

[02:46] !ask | jill [02:46] jill: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:46] unop ok i will try [02:46] recommended/de facto way to chroot/jail shell users in shell ?

I've tried rsync and unison [02:47] acovrig: rsync --progress [02:47] I am trying to install a Lexmark printer on Ubuntu 10.04 and it simply isn't cooperating. Does anyone know how to do this? [02:48] hey guys for some reason every once in a while my screen gets all corrupted. I believe the problem started happening when I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. I have tried taking a screenshot but the problem doesn't show up in the screenshot, so I have taken a picture with my phone. http://i47.tinypic.com/oix7c2.jpg [02:48] Fuzzy, are you running Skype or anything when it happens? [02:49] jill, no it happens randomly even when im just at the desktop it will do that then a little while later it will fix itself [02:49] I am moving from vista to ubuntu and was wondering what's the best partition scheme. I am thinking 10GB for root, 30GB for home, and rest 40GB for vista. I am not going for a separate swap partition as I have 4GB of ram. any suggestions? [02:49] fuzzybunny69y: Is everything actually upside down or did you just have the phone upside down? [02:50] razz1, I'd use atleast 1gb for swap... [02:50] oh sorry lol i had the phone upside down [02:50] can someone give advice on nscd [02:50] it is just the screen splitting thing that is annoying [02:50] maraja if you do manually remove, the sources you require may reside in the sources.list.d folder [02:50] Hottuna, If I really need swap I can switch it on later, right? [02:50] razz1, yea [02:51] oh and I turned compiz off and the problem still happens [02:51] hottuna, I just wanna keep my partitions to the minimum [02:51] razz1, why not just make a 1gb swap though, it only gets used if you need it. [02:51] i found something here http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [02:51] hello niggas [02:51] lol [02:51] jill: This may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49714 [02:51] Anyone have any luck with a Lexmark printer in Ubuntu?

[02:52] d5005907, the N word [02:53] are you serious [02:53] wow fuzzybunny [02:53] hottuna, I used ubuntu before and it hardly uses swap. and I like to keep the partitions to a minimum [02:53] pretty much [02:53] that's pretty amazing [02:53] caught [02:53] the sociecity is messed up [02:53] junior_mint, what do you mean [02:53] ah [02:53] so close [02:53] ... [02:53] what on earth happened to your screen? [02:53] d5005907, we're more surprised you think that word is even acceptable .. [02:53] society [02:53] does that happen all the time? [02:53] razz1, ok all I know is if a program locks up really good and then uses all of your memory, your system can crash w/ data loss just fyi [02:53] unop: words are just words [02:53] junior_mint, sorry it isnt supposed to be upside down [02:53] hey guys, i just downloaded the ubuntu iso, how can i convert it to a Live USB ? the website explains how to do it on windows/mac/ubuntu, but i am running Fedora..... and fedora's "liveusb-creator" failed [02:53] razz1, but some people get away fine without a swap [02:53] what have you tried [02:53] they are not good or bad [02:54] d5005907, and they have meanings and connotations - so just behave according to the rules here. [02:54] did you try to reformat your entire drive? [02:54] i've plenty of ubuntu user-friends [02:54] offensive [02:54] d5005907: but that word is not acceptable in any Ubuntu forum. [02:54] and i've never seen that in my life [02:54] I am not saying I will not use swap but just that not a separate partition [02:54] unop i cant move it it say i am not the root and when i do sudo root then after the pass i get sudo: root: command not found [02:54] is there a support channel for ubuntu [02:54] razz1, swap must be a seperate partition ? [02:54] junior_mint, yeah it just started happening it is kinda annoying [02:54] tuna, wouldn't that happen with swap too? it would just take some time to fill the swap. [02:54] ok n word's [02:54] ocatacoo: You're in it. [02:55] Hi all! Is there a way to split a monitor so that two workspaces fit on it? [02:55] razz1, sorry didn't mean to use a ? mark their. [02:55] my cd drive is not fast enough to install ubuntu and i need an alternate install option [02:55] micael, well, sudo -i will give you a root shell. but perhaps all you want is this. sudo cp your.desktop /usr/share/applications/ [02:55] stayf, usb ? [02:55] Hottuna, I am sure swap does not have to be a separate partition. [02:55] razz1, it does [02:55] HotTuna: how do i do that? [02:55] d5005907, obfuscated swearing is still swearing. please don't do that. [02:55] stayf: What do you mean "not fast enough"? Does the install actually fail, or is it just too slow for you? [02:56] Stayf I used SD card [02:56] stayf, download an ubuntu desktop 386 or whatever iso and use unetbootin on whatever OS and it will turn a usb stick in to bootable, then set ur bios to boot from usb. [02:56] Jordan_U: it failed [02:56] ohh my this is a support channel [02:56] stayf: What was the exact error? [02:56] HotTuna: what is unsetbootin? [02:56] ocatacoo, off course. [02:56] unop: ok mr perfect [02:56] needs some policing [02:56] !guidelines | d5005907 [02:56] d5005907: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [02:57] stayf, unetbootin its a program that puts .iso image files on to a usb stick and makes it bootable. [02:57] HotTuna: a program for what? [02:57] stayf, ^ [02:57] stayf I don't have a CD [02:57] HotTuna, did you manage to fix your issues yesterday? [02:57] HotTuna: i have no windows computers available, all ubuntu :P [02:57] good evening all, what is the module that handles usb ports in lucid [02:57] how many sqatters are there?? [02:57] stayf, its on ubuntu too... [02:57] stayf, sudo apt-get install unetbootin [02:57] HotTuna: where? [02:57] my usb hubs seem to be down [02:57] HotTuna: ok [02:57] ocatacoo: Do you have a support question? [02:57] does anyone know nscd? [02:57] unop, um sort of [02:58] hottuna, are you sure that swap needs a separate partition, it's just a file and I am sure it can reside inside ubuntu partition [02:58] unop, it works at 10.0mbps consistently now on a dif kernel with the driver u suggested, but some times it works faster [02:58] HotTuna: so i can put it on a flash drive or something? [02:58] does it learn and if from what? [02:58] stayf, its not just a file.... [02:58] razz1, that's right, you can have a swap file instead of a swap partition. [02:58] hey guys i will brb I am just seeing if the problem happens with this livecd [02:58] keffie_jayx, what does lsusb do for you? [02:58] HotTuna: i know [02:58] oh yea? [02:58] well im sorry I learned something [02:58] however I have never heard of a swap file. [02:59] HotTuna: i should've reworded that [02:59] stayf, yea you can and I told you how already :-D [02:59] HotTuna, very strange issue that - I hope you filed a bug report so that it can be looked into. [02:59] unop, i think AAA said he did [02:59] HotTuna: how large must it be? [02:59] we worked for a long time on it [02:59] stayf, I don't know [02:59] Can a standard install be used to do a network install on another box? [02:59] IdleOne: are you live or memorex? [02:59] HotTuna: ok [02:59] stayf, probably atleast 1gb [02:59] HotTuna, yea, I know, I had to get to bed [02:59] NetScr1be: Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [02:59] ocatacoo: I am alive. [03:00] unop, its cool man I wish it would work great all the time cause some times its like 50.0mb/s [03:00] Is there a way to compile support for my Zoran Microelectronics camera? [03:00] HotTuna: darn. i don't have 1gb. can i use my external hard drive? [03:00] stayf, yea [03:00] unop, thanks mate. saved me a lot of time [03:00] you asked I have asked did you not follow? [03:00] NetScr1be: and two others one says 2.0 [03:00] razz1, np [03:00] HotTuna: ok thanks [03:00] stayf, you will lose all the data probably though on the hard drive [03:00] so back it up [03:00] ocatacoo: you mentioned policing. Can you please stay on topic. if you wish to chat you are welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:00] by default is /var/www (apache2) owned by root on ubuntu? [03:00] HotTuna: it's empty :P [03:00] stayf, :-D [03:00] rtronk, yes [03:00] ocatacoo: I saw your question. I don't know what ncsd is [03:01] stayf, just point unetbootin to your .iso of ubuntu and ur usb stick [03:01] how can i change it so its www-data owner/group? [03:01] Is there a way to compile support for my Zoran Microelectronics camera? I have the drivers for windows [03:01] rtronk, why do you want to do that? it's not recommended. [03:01] <|_ocke> what [03:01] what are you refering to? the question is about nscd [03:01] sorry nscd [03:01] unop, what is the best way to move data from vista to ubuntu [03:01] which package you ppl recommend for proxy server? [03:02] razz1, depends on what kind of data you're talking about. [03:02] Ohh you are Idle Idle [03:02] wildbat, squid [03:02] but I plug a usb drive and it won't work [03:02] unop, just my files from user folder [03:02] I am having an issue with sound in Ubuntu. I have an Acer Aspire 6530 with sound not working. alsamixer is all turned up. Output of aplay -l: http://pastebin.com/WuxCvHBm [03:02] i want to make it so that my user is in the group that has access to read/write, [03:02] razz1, well, just mount the windows partition -- and copy the files from there? simple actually. [03:02] is it better to run apache2 as root? [03:03] rtronk, well, if you want apache to be able to accomodate uploads. create a new directory like /var/www/uploads -- and change the permissions on it [03:04] keffie_jayx, run tail -f /var/log/messages then connect something and see what you get [03:04] rtronk, the reason why this is not recommended for /var/www is because if apache is compromised in anyway, then people can change stuff relating to your website -- and i'm sure you don't want that. [03:04] Jon--, how are you testing ? [03:04] how can i join more iso parts in one? [03:04] NetScr1be: is that the same as dmesg? [03:05] HotTuna: YouTube and .mp3 in VLC [03:05] unop, so copy and paste is the best option. I was just wondering if there was a way ubuntu can scan my windows drive and move them to home folder and segregate them accordingly [03:05] pokoko222: What are you trying to accomplish exactly? [03:05] Jordan_U i have 3 files with extensions iso.001, iso.002 and so on [03:05] does anyone have experince with pvr on linux [03:05] rtronk, sudo mkdir -p /var/www/uploads; sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/uploads; sudo chmod g+rwx /var/www/uploads; [03:05] i need to combine them somehow [03:06] im looking for a good frontend to go with mythtv [03:06] keffie_jayx, except tail is live and -f(ollow) pots new messages [03:06] xbmc is nice but doesnt support fastforwarding and rewinding [03:06] posts [03:06] razz1, ahh, yes, there is something -- but as far as i know, it's part of the installer -- not sure if there's a package. [03:06] pokoko222: cat iso.??? > iso.complete [03:06] Jon--, is it a ati sound blaster ? [03:07] HotTuna: I don't know how to tell [03:07] Jordan_U what? [03:07] when did ati make soundblaster? [03:07] Jon--, I just see SB which is usually sound blaster [03:07] rjune, exactly [03:07] rjune: uhhh didnt? [03:07] maco, Creative Labs makes sound blaster. it's an audio card. [03:07] ATi makes Video Cards [03:08] pokoko222: "cat" is a terminal command for "catinating" files. How comfortable are you with the terminal? [03:08] rjune: right... so "didn't" [03:08] lol [03:08] HotTuna: It works fine on Ubuntu 9.04 and up out of the box, this box is 8.10 though. [can't change it] [03:08] what a dumb argument [03:08] cavej03, I am planning on using MYTHtv, I presently use vista media center, love it but will be moving to ubuntu soon, how good is it? and does it have any issues? I used media portal for some time, very disappointing. I hope MYTHtv is better [03:08] HotTuna: the drive is not showing up as an option [03:08] maco, when didn't ati make sound blaster ... nmind. [03:08] stayf, how is it formatted [03:09] razz1, I've generally been happy with mythtv. [03:09] stayf, try sudo unetbootin [03:09] HotTuna: it's fat iirc [03:09] hey everyone. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I need to update my video driver, but i am unsure as to what version I already have and where to get a newer version [03:09] unop, doing copy and paste manually is tedious. [03:09] a [03:10] AAA is there a program where there is a person on my desktop that talks to me [03:10] HotTuna: i am using sudo [03:10] rjune: is mythtv a resource hog? [03:10] cdw32: Why do you think you need a newer driver? [03:10] stayf, not sure then, unetbootin see's my stick ;\ [03:10] razz1, I've not found it to be such, but I had a seperate server and client. [03:11] razz1, admittedly, yes. but it's also the safest way. [03:11] HotTuna: Did you say that to me? Awfully rude. [03:11] note the past tense, my frontend died. [03:11] Jordan_U: well my vid quality suck, thats the only thing i can think of [03:11] Jon--, well I was going to try to figure it out ;\ [03:11] HotTuna: is fat allowed? [03:11] razz1, i tried looking for something to help you, but it turns up nothing practical. [03:11] Jordan_U ok i got the iso file now. But now it wants me to burn it on cd, i cant open it otherwise, is there a way to mount it on virtual drive? [03:11] Jon--, and say what to you [03:11] cdw32: What graphics card? In what way is the quality bad? [03:11] stayf, umm fat32 ? [03:11] HotTuna: oh that was a stupid question considering unetbootin works on windows as well [03:11] stayf, yea it does. [03:11] !iso | pokoko222 [03:12] HotTuna: About the stupid arg [03:12] pokoko222: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [03:12] Jon--, didn't think you were involved actualy [03:12] ;-p [03:12] IN 10.04 NVIDIA DRIVERS seem to force me to run dual-head with two separate X sessions. This sucks, but I'm living with it. I'm trying to view OO impress and OO writer on separate screens. No matter which screen I launch it from, it always opens on the left and I can't drag it right -- what can I do??? [03:12] pokoko222: You can also right click the file in the file manager and choose "Open with archive mounter" [03:12] HotTuna: Haha, thought you were referring to my 8.10 comment [03:13] Jon--, i try not to argue on the internet since I can't shoot anyone ;\ [03:13] Jordan_U tried that, does not open anything [03:13] Jordan_U: to be honest i have no clue what card, let me dig around...the video does not match the audio track the picture freezes every second...not a smothe picture [03:13] cdw32: sounds like windows [03:13] tyrosine, I have similar issues w/ OpenOffice presentation [03:13] cdw32: or an old ati card [03:13] NetScr1be: how do you get over this? [03:13] cdw32: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [03:13] Jon--, sorry I really don't use 8.10 and this is a 10.04 support channel ;\ [03:13] Jordan_U what is mountpoint? [03:14] unop, I am not getting rid of vista completely, so even if only folders like documents, pictures, music, etc, all the common folders are copied over I will be happy. I have a lot of data, to move it manually is a nightmare. and for the rest I can mount the vista drive and grab it when I need it [03:14] cdw32: What kind of computer are you running this on? Laptop? Desktop? [03:14] Blue1: ITS everything presentations screen savers [03:14] HotTuna: Well, what would you do if it was 10.04 with same issue? ;P [03:14] Jon--, thinking [03:14] Jordan_U: the onlything listed there is my wireless driver [03:14] I changed the prefs to use two displays but it seems to mes sup future presentations [03:14] anyone? is there a program using ubuntu where person shows on desktop and talks to me? [03:14] mess up [03:14] pokoko222: It is a directory that you will be able to access the iso's contents through. "/mnt" is a good directory to use. [03:15] decay33: let's not go there [03:15] Jon--, it shows up, but you hear nothing, do the programs complain about no sound device or do they play? [03:15] Jordan_U i execute that and i get: you must specify the filesystem type [03:15] cdw32: what kind of card to you have? hint: lspci | grep VGA [03:15] rjune: I will be running myth tv on the same system. I hope it does not stress the resources. and does it offer PIP [03:15] HotTuna: Nothing complains so far. Want me to run VLC from CLI with verbose? [03:15] why not Blue1 [03:15] Jon--, and ur sure alsamixer everything has a 00 under it and volume is up? [03:15] Blue1: one second [03:16] razz1, PIP only if you have two tuners I think [03:16] pokoko222: Then it's not a valid iso for some reason. Where did you get this set of iso file parts from? [03:16] Ubuntu's kernel-package spits out Ubuntu-ified kernels, right? :) [03:16] rjune: I have two HD tuners. [03:16] n.net [03:17] Blue1: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 06) [03:17] Blue1 why not? [03:17] rjune: PIP is the only one missing missing in vista MC and of the air epg sniffing [03:17] cdw32: not an intel guy but let me schlep for a second [03:17] razz1, apparently https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows/TransferringFilesAndSettings says there's an application called "Open MoveOver" but the project seems to have disappeared. you might find it floating around the net tho. [03:17] Blue1: thanks i am really flying blind here [03:18] to add a user to a group [03:18] do i do groupadd or addgroup username group ? [03:18] cdw32: it's been my experience (Ymmv) intel isn't well supported yet [03:18] rtronk, adduser user group # will work [03:19] rtronk, sudo needed off course [03:19] Jon--, you got any .wav files [03:19] hi hi [03:19] all [03:19] HotTuna: I can find one on the internet well enough. This MP3 works fine though and it's VLC, I doubt it's a playback issue. [03:20] Jon--, yea just aplay says to test with a .wav [03:20] hey someone know how to sincronize and ipod shuffle 4gb? [03:20] i have 3gb o ram.. do i need swap?

[03:21] Jon--, get in the dir with the .wav and run aplay -ss file.wav [03:21] <|enigma|> hi guys how to find whether I got the 3d Acc. on my laptop [03:21] ubottu, so you are stupid?

[03:40] <|enigma|> when I tried to load my VM it says that 3D disable due to host not supporting 3D [03:40] stayf, you could try a network install although I dont know how to do that [03:40] where do i find FBreader? not in terminal [03:40] guy's why don't we have a AUR like in arch? why we don't have like that. [03:40] Blue1: what might helo?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:41] HotTuna: How long you around for [03:41] cdw32: beg pardon? [03:41] |enigma|, what exactly are you trying to do? [03:41] Jon--, another hour and twenty mins or so or till my g/f comes and cries for me to come to bed ;-\ [03:42] you said this might help- [03:42] if enigma is asking about compiz [03:42] <|enigma|> there are few VMs I need to enable the 3D for those [03:42] decay33, try the software center [03:42] if anyone is able to offer me help with octave [03:42] pm me [03:42] Jordan_U: that's desktop edition? [03:43] <|enigma|> but apparently I guess my host laptop which is Compaq 6720s has Ubuntu and not enable for 3D [03:43] stayf: A smaller CD might be less likely to have errors. If you use the netboot CD rather than the minimal CD it's even smaller, and will only read the CD once during boot (everything it needs from the CD is loaded immediately into RAM, then the rest grabbed from the network) [03:43] HotTuna: Alright. I'll do a reboot in a bit [03:43] Jon--, wait [03:43] Jordan_U: sounds great. it's ubuntu desktop correct? [03:44] <|enigma|> trying figure out whether it is 3D enable or not even i tried glxinfo | grep rendering [03:44] stayf: It will result in the same installation (if you choose the defaults), but the installer is pseudo text based and ugly as sin :) [03:44] Jon--, also add to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [03:44] options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-2 enable_msi=1 [03:44] <|enigma|> it gives error so, I really believe my 3D is not working [03:44] Jordan_U: thank you so much :D [03:44] stayf: You're welcome :) [03:45] pseudo-text based or pseudo text-based [03:45] text-based [03:45] <|enigma|> do I have to do these [03:45] <|enigma|> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:46] Jon--, if that doesn't work I'd try OSS [03:48] Jon--, do you have pulse-audio installed ?

The flash drive is a 1GB Kingston drive, and it HAS worked before... [03:49] I select the 'format drive' option and format the filesystem of the USB as fat32 when i create the USB. I also choose 'no persistence' [03:49] are any of these settings incorrect? because when i boot the usb installer i create, it doesn't work [03:50] Jordan_U: is this a minimal version of ubuntu? [03:50] Dougdoug4: What happens when you try to boot it? [03:50] |enigma|, try grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:50] |enigma|, and pastebin the result [03:50] Jordan_U: it's a full installation, just a minimal disk. correct? [03:50] Dougdoug4: If you have problems with usb creator try them unetbootin [03:50] stayf: Correct. [03:50] Jordan_U: server edition / desktop edition? it reminds me VERY much of the server installation [03:51] stayf: It's exactly the same installer as used with Ubuntu server [03:51] anyone here know how to use mplayer-nogui? [03:51] <|enigma|> http://pastebin.ca/1884821 [03:51] mdg, man mplayer-nogui [03:51] Jordan_U: so i'm installing ubuntu server?

[04:49] aLemmer1: http://art.gnome.org/ [04:50] thon0925 : my system is more or less new, but ... i don't like installing unused things ... and after instaling Ubuntu 10.04, I have found MANY things that I am not using or will ever going to use ... so I decided to look for some information ) [04:50] anyway, he told me that he had all of the pictures on his other computer, and that I could format the drive [04:50] john__: type it in a terminal, and paste the output. [04:50] hey guys, what happened to /etc/ssh/sshd_config in ubuntu 10.04? [04:50] greezmunkey: nah i did a file search, must of made a noob mistake [04:50] aLemmer1: http://gnome-look.org/ also [04:50] wraanger : you could remove unused apps in Ubuntu [04:50] wraanger: I recommend trying an Xubuntu LiveCD to see how you like it (note that LiveCDs run slower and use more RAM than the actual installed system will) [04:50] john__: at least you know how to find a file :) [04:50] mib_mib: it's there [04:50] how to extract a file called virtualfriend.sit [04:51] mib_mib: unless you don't have the server portion installed.. [04:51] Izinucs: i only have /etc/ssh/ssh_config [04:51] i just updated my video card driver and now i'm having a problem that the radeon driver doesn't work, but when i use vesa kdm comes up and i can log in, but before the desktop loads, i go back to the login screen. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this. [04:51] wraanger: might also want to peek at Lubuntu [04:51] mib_mib: sudo apt-get install ssh .. will pull in the server.. [04:51] Izinucs: okay kewl [04:51] does anyone know how to get a Creative Labs SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio 24-BIT PCI Sound Card working on the newest ubuntu distro? [04:52] I'll check that out. [04:52] greezmunkey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/450887/ is this what your looking for [04:52] anyway, I've done data recovery before, but how would I go about retrieving photos from a drive that has been formatted over in EXT4? [04:52] JackJelinek: if you take it out of your computer, and throw it really hard it makes a whooshing shound. [04:52] s/shound/sound [04:52] acerimmer_ : thanks, will look [04:52] wraanger: If you really want a mininimal install, then you can use the minimal CD and only install what you want. [04:52] thanks for answers, ppl [04:52] hiii [04:52] !minimal | wraanger [04:52] wraanger: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:53] thon0925, has it been long since the hard drive was formatted over?? [04:53] hmmm, i'll try that. i'll get back to you on how that worked ;) buyt really do you have any idea how to get it working?" [04:53] no, just recently [04:53] john__: yes, see if you have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf - if so paste the contents. [04:54] thon0925, if you havent written to it there's a **big** chance you can recover the entire partition, head over to the forum, the same thing happened to me and I was able to recover a partition [04:54] I know some of the files will be gone, since it's a small drive and system files were probably written over some pictures [04:54] hi [04:54] greezmunkey: you got it [04:54] nothing is working for my .sit file no is helping me [04:55] I am installing some CPAN modules on Ubuntu. Some of the dependency modules are not installing. The error message is I do not have the rights to install. [04:55] He's bringing the laptop back tomorrow, so I'll see if TestDisk can recover it [04:55] When I try to access sync options in evolution it says "the GNOME pilot tools do not appear to be installed". Do I need them in order to sync my calendar with my phone? [04:56] Can I upgrade Maverick alpha? [04:56] i just updated my video card driver and now i'm having a problem that the radeon driver doesn't work, but when i use vesa kdm comes up and i can log in, but before the desktop loads, i go back to the login screen. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this. [04:56] I have a laptop and a server, how do I have the laptop sync w/the server with a progressbar?

[05:01] decay33: how big is the file? [05:02] greezmunkey: ill let you know [05:02] acovrig, first fire up unison and it'll check for changes, if it finds any changes it will show you graphically what location will be updated, afterwards all files get updated, you can see the progress on ALL files [05:03] greezmunkey 565 kb [05:03] trucemix, it works just fine for syncing, but when it is done, it just sits there til I click Quit === charlie is now known as grumete [05:03] greezmunkey: yea it still tears and it looks like crap [05:04] john__: ok, put it back for now. [05:04] kiamo, ive never had a nokia but on my HTC phone I had to install the software that allows you to see the phone, I think it was nsync, cant remember, after that I installed the modules I use with the software, like for example evolution for e-mail contacts. If your phone is configured similarly you might have to download the app that lets ubuntu see the hardware then the module that you want to sync, like some module for evolution === hagebake is now known as hagabaka [05:05] tucemiux, aaah ok, thanks :) === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [05:05] kanhiya have u tried the ubuntu software center? click applications, ubuntu software center and search internet icon maybe can find what u are looking for [05:05] acovrig, that's pretty much how unison works unless you want to try the non-gui way [05:06] kiamo, head over to the forums, you might find step by step instructions [05:06] Hi all !

How do i set up wine so it uses the windows partion [05:46] #winehq | SReject [05:46] <[BG]Zlobi> SReject, why do you need this, if I may ask? [05:46] wildbat thank you [05:46] [BG]Zlobi, it's strange, i have just 'rw,user,exec,nosuid' in options and unicode characters work fine; do you have ntfs-3g installed and system locale set to 'bg_BG.UTF-8'? [05:46] SReject: I think that maybe your question is based on the presumption that wine and windows are the same. They're not. [05:46] greezmunkey i know they aren't :) [05:46] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, these ARE NOT unicode :) [05:47] <[BG]Zlobi> I suspect they are cp1251 [05:47] <[BG]Zlobi> I can create new fine [05:47] <[BG]Zlobi> But cant read these [05:47] [BG]Zlobi, you cannot have cp1251 names on NTFS partition. did you create them from Linux? [05:48] <[BG]Zlobi> ok, win1251 then [05:48] <[BG]Zlobi> I have always thought these are sinonims [05:49] <[BG]Zlobi> Because we linux folks hate the win part [05:49] [BG]Zlobi, filenames on NTFS partitions are always unicode [05:50] was the files with incorrect names created in windows or in linux? [05:50] basically it's seeing "/home/user/..." as vitual drive C and i want it set to the windows partion [05:50] Greetings! [05:50] SReject, there must be Wine control panel where you assign drives for wine [05:50] in sound settings is a function to amplify the sound. how can i permanently set it to high?

[05:59] [BG]Zlobi: never tried it, is it better? [05:59] <[BG]Zlobi> SirMoo, ;) [05:59] xpixe: eh ? i use pidgin with two account with yahoo and it works flawleslly what do you mean ? [05:59] recompile the kernel for cpu archecture or does that require a new install [05:59] uBen: That was a typo, sudo apt-get install bitpim [05:59] <[BG]Zlobi> spicyWith, Well I use it, creates users, chemas, grants permitions [05:59] well the pidgin that I have does not work with yahoo or msn [05:59] <[BG]Zlobi> what more :) [06:00] MK-ULTRA: the only other thing I found that may be of help is here: mdf audio extractor did the job for me: http://www.sqweek.com/sqweek/index.php?p=5 [06:00] ... Are you using the actual bird? [06:00] oh...duh. stupid website and their rpm files... [06:00] hey [06:00] <[BG]Zlobi> uBen, there was an rpm to deb convertor... [06:00] buenos dias [06:00] hmmm, alright anything helps. I appreciate the help folks. [06:00] SirMoo, y does it kill your computer [06:01] Zlobi: Alien didn't work for me for some reason, something about scripts [06:01] hi all, can someone please help me with a question I have about Par and Par2? [06:01] uBen: Always check the repositories first. [06:01] !ask [06:01] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:01] uBen, alien converts RPMs to Debs [06:01] MSN/Live and YIM are not friendly if you have older windows computer, or if you're trying to multi task. :/ They're slow. [06:01] ya know what I think it is. [06:01] xpike : sudo apt-get remove pidgin --purge sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install pidgin ( i use finch and its also works) === soreau_ is now known as soreau [06:01] <[BG]Zlobi> uBen, have you tried command line? [06:01] Jordan_U: Thanks, will remember [06:01] Fince is for Apple I thought? [06:01] whoops i forgot to remove and purge [06:02] <[BG]Zlobi> uBen, look for a manual to install Alien and proceed [06:02] Zlobi: That's what I was using [06:02] uBen: You're welcome. [06:02] I have a folder wiith 25 files in it, and 25 par2 files is there a way I can check them all at one time as opposed to one by one? [06:02] [BG]Zlobi: any reason you use it over phpmyadmin? Not questioning, just curious, i.e. is it better in any way? [06:02] Zlobi, it is in synaptic. [06:02] maybe the mds has information about the sessions. like maybe it is mixed audio and data. [06:02] <[BG]Zlobi> spicyWith, much less nerves on deployment [06:02] <[BG]Zlobi> Just a program [06:03] wow now its taking long to load [06:03] MK-ULTRA: That's what I understand... [06:03] pidgin doesnt work for me now :( [06:03] holy smokes [06:03] hi2all :) [06:03] pidgin crashed on me [06:03] I guess just like a bin/cue [06:04] xpike: you have remove it you need to install it again after purgin [06:04] xpike: *purging [06:04] <[BG]Zlobi> xpike, Iro Maiden ruleZ \__/ [06:04] [BG]Zlobi: how so?

[06:05] <[BG]Zlobi> spicyWith, I just have bad memories of my attampts to make PHPMyAdmin work [06:05] <[BG]Zlobi> I know many people use it, I also did on Windows [06:05] xpike : 1. sudo apt-get remove pidgin --purge 2. sudo apt-get autoremove 3. sudo apt-get install pidgin << folow this step one by one [06:05] your memories are my present feeligns.. [06:05] ??? [06:06] i did that [06:06] [BG]Zlobi: your memories are my present feeligns.. [06:06] i did it in order [06:06] i think its because i have the 64bit edition [06:06] <[BG]Zlobi> spisyWith, Ok, then just stfu and try MySQL Admin :D [06:06] 64 bit of everything just sucks [06:06] xpike : have you installed pidgin from source ? [06:06] xpike, y [06:06] [BG]Zlobi, language ...

[06:09] <[BG]Zlobi> xpike, because it is the mid-period now [06:09] [BG]Zlobi: I feel like installing it would be pretty much as complicated, if I want to put it in a subdomain in apache2....

[06:13] doug_ then ask it :) [06:13] <[BG]Zlobi> acerimmer_, I would say if the PC is x64 compliant, install x64 [06:13] if I download 10.4 today will it be more updated version than the one I got a month ago [06:14] Yo yo yo [06:14] xpike I suggest using -o filename to redirect all the output [06:14] doug. Yes. [06:14] oh ok great [06:14] then recently updated the kernal [06:14] doug, what did you dl a month ago? [06:14] they* [06:14] [BG]Zlobi: even though the 64 bit kernel is fairly robust, 32 bit apps are not perfectly ported to 64 bit. the general recommendations i've read are specific regarding the cost benefit to wit; more gigs of ram, try 64. <=4 gigs, stick with 32. YMMV [06:15] <[BG]Zlobi> i. e. updates are periodically included, do reistall with the latest copy (kill the servers ;) ) [06:15] [BG]Zlobi, there's also "locale=xx_YY.UTF-8" option for ntfs-3g === LexArt is now known as arciomau [06:15] acerimmer_: there's the pae kernel which can access 12gb in 32bit [06:15] another question then, I have an intel centrino pentium M laptop that would not load 10.4 do you know if they have fixed the problem with this? [06:15] <[BG]Zlobi> wb drizzt_ ok be specific about what I can do [06:16] ActionParsnip: good to know. ty [06:16] Doug_: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded [06:16] Haha I foudn out why lol [06:16] 01:15:55) main: exiting because another libpurple client is already running [06:16] lmaooo [06:16] <[BG]Zlobi> acerimmer_, With the speed of SATA2 RAM is not so important as it was [06:16] i used --debug [06:16] darn [06:16] Doug_: did you check the burned cd for defects once booted to? [06:16] doug, did you send it back to get repaired? [06:16] ActionParsnip, it was a good ISO I md5sum it, it does not like the hardware on this laptop [06:17] xpike: killall [06:17] [BG]Zlobi, first, what is your LANG variable? [06:17] !bootoptions | doug_ [06:17] doug_: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [06:17] <[BG]Zlobi> bg_BG [06:17] ActionParsnip, yes, CD worked in other machine passed self test [06:17] yahoo still doesnt work === arciomau is now known as LexArt [06:17] on pidgin [06:17] <[BG]Zlobi> I think you asking this [06:17] [BG]Zlobi, and encoding? 'UTF-8'? [06:17] Xpike_: have you use the pidgin ppa? [06:17] <[BG]Zlobi> nope, win1251 [06:18] <[BG]Zlobi> now cp1251 I guess [06:18] ActionParsnip, it was not a problem with the iso or cd, cd was/is good it did not like my hardware on this laptop [06:18] and msn says : Our protocol is not supported by the server [06:18] ActionParsnip: he uses 64bit arc [06:18] pidgin ppa? what is that? [06:18] Doug_: I know. I read it last time you said. Try some boot options [06:18] <[BG]Zlobi> But I have created some utf-8 content [06:19] !info pidgin-data | xpike [06:19] xpike: pidgin-data (source: pidgin): multi-protocol instant messaging client - data files.

It may help [06:19] wildbat: Hi ... :) [06:20] yillkid, hi [06:20] all I really want is a yahoo instant messenger that has access to the chatroom and webcam and microphone features [06:20] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, going for a breakfast... be back :) [06:20] xpike: mean while you can also ask in #pidgin [06:20] <[BG]Zlobi> Please tell him, so that he doesn't need to scroll [06:20] xpike: gyache does that I believe [06:20] wildbat: I install ubuntu with minimal CD. But my base system size is 678 MB. [06:20] i dont wanna mess with pidgin anymore, pidgin is for the birds [06:20] ActionParsnip, I was able to getit to install with an xubuntu alt iso then boot into something like safemode then ran updates installed but still it would not boot normally [06:21] gyachi i have but it doesnt work either lol I may need help with that one [06:21] Doug_: sounds like video is screwing you. Set the safe vga boot option and it may help [06:21] hello, world! What impressions about Ubuntu 10.04? Now I'm using 9.10 and I don't know if it's needed to update :) [06:21] gyachi: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkhtml-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [06:21] yillkid, and ? [06:22] Xpike: that's all I know. I haven't used yahoo chat in years. I definately recommend the pidgin ppa [06:22] Xpike: if you get errors like that, search for the file online and you will find the package it belongs to [06:23] wildbat: But you tell me the base system of this version is 1xx MB. I don't know what mistake I do. [06:23] ActionParsnip, well I don't want to install it ifvideo will only workin safe mode after that you know [06:23] ActionParsnip, I mean once I get it on there then is there likely a way to make it operate normally? [06:23] xpike libgtkhtml2-0 [06:24] Hey, can I get some assistance on a Notify-OSD issue? It displays system things, but not common things (like messages from RhythmBox or Empathy) [06:24] Doug_: you said updates fix it so i'd roll with it. You can always run a backup of the OS files / partition then go for it and restore if its bad [06:24] yillkid, if you want to play, try dsl [06:24] yillkid, yes it should be just 100MB ~ unless you install GNOME or KDE [06:24] yillkid, ubuntu is for the work [06:24] ActionParsnip, no I said updates did not fix it but that was a month ago [06:24] xpike: apt-cache search << kick ash [06:25] wildbat, if you install gnome or kde , the system will be > 2GB [06:25] ActionParsnip, I don't careabout any dataon this hdd though nothing valueable [06:25] drizzt_: I know DSL, but I don,t want to out of ubuntu official support. [06:25] yillkid, you cannot make it 100 MB, never [06:26] drizzt_, the kernel only is 90 MB [06:26] wildbat: Yes, just only base system, I have not install any packages yet. [06:26] so, I did 'sudo tasksel remove lamp-server' and it GUTTED my machine... .no gnome, no anything, can't even boot up to anything but a command prompt.... anyone know how in the world that happened? [06:26] Hey, can I get some assistance on a Notify-OSD issue? It displays system things, but not common things (like messages from RhythmBox or Empathy) [06:26] Yillkid: xpud is only a few meg in size but I don't think it will support all your (no doubt) fancy hardware [06:26] I have a toughbook CF-29 by the way [06:26] 64 bit of everything sucks [06:26] yillkid, and you used 678MB ?? [06:27] im sick of this lol [06:27] im going to 32 bit [06:27] wildbat: Yes , 678 MB. [06:27] :) [06:27] I just want to install ubuntu as minimal as possible, but I still want the official support . [06:27] Doug_: i'd try some boot options to get safe vga then see if after you drive up etc it's nice [06:27] should be pretty standard parts it's intel graphics and intel chipset, full centrino notebook [06:28] !minimal | yillkid [06:28] yillkid: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:28] ActionParsnip, drive up? what does that mean? [06:28] yillkid, you can try du -h ~ see what's taking the spaces [06:28] ~$ sudo apt-get remove gyachi [06:28] Reading package lists... Done [06:28] Building dependency tree [06:28] Reading state information... Done [06:28] E: Couldn't find package gyachi [06:28] xpike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:28] yillkid, you just did [06:28] Doug_: get drivers for hardware etc [06:28] how come i cant remove gyachi [06:28] Xpike: its not on the ubuntu repo [06:28] Except for "debootstrap" (538MB) What could I do ? [06:28] No one? [06:28] Xpike: you need a deb or ppa [06:29] ActionParsnip, wherecan I obtain hardware drivers ? perhaps I should do that in advance of installing the new version as this is the only pc I have on me right now [06:29] Hello all. I have a ssh server set up on my LAN (static ip), I can ssh into it while on the lan and have set up port forwarding on my router for port 22 (both incoming and outgoing). I cannot ssh into my server if i attempt to connect through the external IP. Is there anything additional I need to do on my ssh server? I am concerned that the packets from my server may just have the router IP as the source destination [06:29] how did i install gyachi ? from source? I dont remember doing that [06:29] Xpike: search software centre for it. Maybe its called something different [06:29] yillkid, you have no debootstrap folder if you've finished intalling [06:29] where in nautilus/gnome i need to go to uninstall a program === hamish is now known as firepilot [06:29] wildbat: Yes, I do. I using df -h to calculate the space, 678 MB, I sure . [06:30] Doug_: depends hugely on the hardware. Some will be supported by default. Some may require compiling [06:30] xspike look in synaptic [06:30] ActionParsnip, I have a toughbook cf-29 [06:30] yillkid, you can uninstall it if you are done with the debootstrap, du -h not df -h [06:30] where in nautilus/gnome i need to go to uninstall a program from source === jay is now known as Guest75657 [06:30] Hi there, I'm compiling a kernel for a macbook and I need to include efivars but I don't know how to do this. [06:30] ActionParsnip, all intell stuff inside [06:30] Could anyone point me in the right direction? [06:30] xpike, system, administration, sunaptic package manager [06:31] firepilot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [06:31] Doug_: doesn't mean much dude. We need chip versions etc. Ubuntu can tell you those once booted and you can find guides [06:31] ActionParsnip, I'm booted in ubuntu 9.10 now [06:31] Wow [06:31] nothing shows up [06:31] i installed something I cant remove [06:31] No one for Notify OSD? [06:31] gyachi doesnt show up [06:32] Been trying to fix it for days, at a loss. [06:32] wildbat: Sorry my poor Englist, I say, don't using minimal CD installation any more, change to the "debootstrap" method? [06:32] thanks acerimmer_ although I'm actually just looking for help compiling a kernel. [06:32] xpike dpkg -L gyachi show files? [06:32] shadows090: remove both rules on your firewall, then restart it, then create an inbound only port 22 to your sshd server - then test again. [06:32] xpike, go to source dir and try 'make uninstall' [06:32] doug_: then run: lspci;lsusb ,and find guides etc. 9.10 is supported until april next year so you can comfortably hang with karmic [06:32] ActionParsnip, is there a term command tomake it tell me about my hardware or do you mean through the gui somewhere? [06:32] xspike synaptic will also show dependencies if you add the bar from setting preferences in synaptic for the info widow [06:32] /usr/lib/libgyachi.so [06:32] /usr/bin [06:32] /usr/bin/gyachi [06:32] /usr/bin/gyachivoice [06:32] xpike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:33] yillkid, you sadi yo installe the debootstrap? and it took 538 MB ?? right? [06:33] ActionParsnip, I need to reinstall anyway cus sound is not working and I broke some other stuff trying to fix it so that's why I was thnking of trying 10.4 again [06:33] Hey, can I get some assistance on a Notify-OSD issue? It displays system things, but not common things (like messages from RhythmBox or Empathy) [06:34] wildbat: Yes "debootstrap is 538 MB", but the minimal CD install is "678 MB" [06:34] im so fustrated >.< [06:34] xpike hrm. you could try dpkg-reconfigure gyachi then apt-get remove [06:34] Doug_: then boot live lucid cd with the boot options to make it fly then update / install drivers. Should be ok as karmic works :) [06:35] ActionParsnip, most companysdon't have linux drivers do they though?? I never had to install a driver forlinuxbefore everyting has just worked [06:35] yillkid, so you just delete/uninstall the debootstrap to free the space? [06:35] Yillkid: could try lubuntu. Its using about 1.5Gb here I believe. [06:36] Anyone at all? [06:36] ActionParsnip, he have 6XXMB only [06:36] ActionParsnip: 1.5 GB is too big. [06:36] yillkid: or there's featherlinux, DSL, puppy linux (puppy uses apt-get afaik now) [06:36] yillkid: lots of small distros to run at. [06:36] so, I did 'sudo tasksel remove lamp-server' and it GUTTED my machine... .no gnome, no anything, can't even boot up to anything but a command prompt.... anyone know how in the world that happened? [06:37] Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device <<< I have that vid card [06:37] wildbat: No, I using a new HDD to install ubuntu minimal CD. [06:37] That's not a video card, Doug.. That's a integrated graphics controller. [06:37] Doug_: ok then see how it is with lucid using websearches [06:37] greezmunkey: I apologize for misstating it in my post. I actually only have an inbound port forwarding set up. I have it set up as external: 22 Internal: 22 protocol: both to ipaddress: (mystaticip). i have enabled and saved changes :-/ [06:37] how can i tell which users are using a database? [06:37] Tac_Home, who said tasksel works? [06:38] ActionParsnip: Thank you, but I want not out of support with official ubuntu . [06:38] Hilikus_, depends on the database management system. [06:38] drizzt_: well, I sure won't be using it again.... [06:38] unop: MYISAM [06:38] shadows090: in a terminal: sudo netstat -antp | grep "LISTEN" - see if sshd is listening... [06:38] Hilikus_, probably a question for #mysql then [06:38] shadows090: see what port, etc... [06:38] drizzt_: is there a way to enable wireless, and somehow fix it and get everything back to normal from commandline? [06:38] yillkid, then use 'du -h' to figure out what took the space, i think is just cache [06:38] I just want to find a way to install ubuntu, and the size must less than 538 MB . [06:39] -sigh.- I wish I could get the fan controller to work in 10.04. [06:39] yillkid: your small space reuirement may force you away from ubuntu. It isn't always the answer [06:39] livecd may be a good choice. [06:39] yillkid: You can't realistically install Ubuntu on 500MB. But there are a plethora of other Linux choices [06:39] yillkid, You can't. Compressing folders from Ubuntu can cause major instability, because of the fact that the more you compress flies, the greater the chance is that something is going to go wrong during the decommpression/compression. [06:39] yillkid: im thinking you might be a candidate for a USB startup disk... [06:39] Doug_: sudo lshw -C display ,will tell you more about your video card [06:40] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, I am here :) [06:40] yillkid, If you want an Ubuntu installation like that, try Lubuntu. It is a 520mb Live CD I believe. [06:40] Sc00t3r: the livecd uses squashfs. Livecd runs stable no? [06:40] howdy all [06:40] ActionParsnip, The LiveCD is still 680MB. [06:40] yillkid: Wait, this is a new harddrive that is only 500MB? [06:41] Sc00t3r: yes but the squashfs allows it to hold nearly double that amount once extracted [06:41] ActionParsnip, Realistically, unless you want absolutely no room for a cache or anything of the likes..? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [06:41] How can I make my main login root? I'm trying to add folders but it tells me I don't have permission [06:41] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro,nosuid,user,locale="bg_BG.CP1251" /dev/sda2 /media/ARCHIVE or whatever applies [06:41] ./configure --disable-rpath --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix /usr [06:41] MeatCurtains: Don't use root, use sudo instead. [06:41] MeatCurtains: use sudo [06:41] !sudo | MeatCurtains [06:41] MeatCurtains: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [06:41] Flannel: Yes, 538 MB, install using "debootstrap". [06:41] whoops i mean [06:41] configure: error: cannot find include file gpgme.h. Perhaps you need to install the gpgme development package? [06:41] ActionParsnip, I found a post on forum with exact sameproblem and hardware as me [06:41] yillkid: Your physical hard drive is only 500 MB? What does debbootstrap have to do with it? [06:42] ActionParsnip, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/109193 [06:42] MeatCurtains: enabling root is nto recommended [06:42] ActionParsnip, that is it ifyou are curious [06:42] sudo facepalm -self [06:42] yillkid: you could modify the iso to have waaay less apps then reburn that. If you are expecting full media codecs and flash etc then its not going to work with ubuntu as far as I can see. I'd go for puppy. Its awesoem [06:42] how do i install gpgme.h [06:42] ActionParsnip, I think I will try the solution which worked for that user though, thank you for you assitance [06:43] I know its not recommended, but I have to have unhindered access to these directories I'm making. I can't even paste files into them [06:43] all major distributions use root and have no dangerous sudo [06:43] flash and codec not working in ubuntu? [06:43] 500MB HDD, it would hold 20 pics from my camera, heh [06:43] Flannel: No, my HDD size is 2GB. [06:43] yillkid: consider also DSL - damn small linux [06:43] MeatCurtains: well use sudo then :) [06:43] yillkid: Oh, what is 538MB then? [06:43] yillkid: Your RAM? [06:43] Flannel, the Ubuntu installation. [06:43] Flannel, Or at least, that's what I think he wants? [06:43] greezmunkey: i have copied and pasted the results to http://pastebin.com/SwVUuTVL [06:43] 538mb is like 200 hd pics [06:43] acerimmer_: Thanks, but I want not out od official ubuntu support. [06:43] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, used it, but... not working, it is working as sudo mount /dev/sda2 [06:44] stupidxp, Welcome to high quality, high resolution photos. [06:44] drizzt_: is there a way to enable wireless, and somehow fix it and get everything back to normal from commandline? [06:44] xD [06:44] Meatcurtains: use sudo and gksudo. You have full access if you are a member of admin. Logging in as root is no advised and if you start loading apps like irc and web browsers then its hugly foolish [06:44] whatis the latest kernel version they are on now? [06:44] <[BG]Zlobi> And with BG gives: mount: can't find locale=bg_BG.CP1251 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [06:44] Tac_Home, what was problem with wireless? [06:44] greezmunkey: i'm not familiar with that, but i assume that it is listening since I have been able to ssh into the server if I am on the same LAN; only not when i try to use the external IP address [06:44] i need an external hd for my camera or a new sd [06:44] 12megabixels xD [06:44] MeatCurtains: if you want gui based >> press alt+f2 >> then use gksudo command [06:44] hello [06:44] Flannel: 538 MB is the base system size. My ram size is 2GB. [06:44] [BG]Zlobi, that mean you made a space somewhere [06:44] drizzt_: no idea how to enable it from the commandline, then is there even some way to fix everything that tasksel broke once I get networking up? [06:44] yillkid: So, what's your question or problem? [06:45] stupidxp, Hahah'. You can get yourself a nice 500GB E-HDD for about $80 nowadays. [06:45] hello [06:45] hi [06:45] yillkid: ubuntu just isn't gonna work for you dude. Your storage is way too small. Xpud is about 10mb and boots faster than most people can sneeze [06:45] e3a133: hello hi and howdy [06:45] Tac_Home, if it's your desktop machine, install 'ubuntu-desktop' [06:45] ah, anyone know windows well? where do i find and replace the registry? === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen === antonis is now known as Take0n [06:45] how are you [06:45] drizzt_: netbook remix [06:45] ActionParsnip, The newer release of XPud is 83MB. [06:45] stupidxp: ##windows can help you [06:45] stupidxp: eh? [06:45] hi [06:46] e3a133, I think we heard you the first time. [06:46] e3a133: is that all you can say? [06:46] shadows090: yeah, I know - that last bit was to verify. pm me /etc/ssh/sshd.conf [06:46] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, no i copy-pasted [06:46] Hi e3a133, this channel is for Ubuntu support. If you're looking for a social channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic, Thanks! [06:46] Sc00t3r: nice. Haven't been keeping up recently. I guess he rolled in the driver pack now? [06:46] anyone know what version of the kernel they are on now? [06:46] Flannel: I want to find a way to install ubuntu base system, and the OS size must less than 538 MB. [06:46] ah but you see i'm using ubuntu and my old ntfs [06:46] yillkid: Why do you need to do that? [06:46] ActionParsnip, Yeah. It's a lot like Ubuntu NR. Pretty decent, except for it lacks for what I want- You know, OpenOffice and such. [06:47] Sc00t3r: still its smaller than puppy now which is up to 120mb these days [06:47] hi [06:47] ActionParsnip, Honestly, I think I'd want to smack someone who has less than a 80GB HDD.. Who's not willing to spend the $40 for a 500GB SATA2? [06:47] Sc00t3r: googledocs takes care of office dude. Less impact on the system itself ;) [06:47] greezmunkey, on my server correct? I am still new to this so sorry if that's a stupid question [06:47] shadows090: yes [06:48] Sc00t3r: my drives are all about 40gb. They work fine [06:48] Sc00t3r, ActionParsnip: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [06:48] Sc00t3r: except my fileserver. [06:48] Ok Flannel [06:48] [BG]Zlobi, there should be no spaces in text between -o and /dev/sda2 [06:48] Flannel, Sorry. Mind if we just move it to PM and stay here in case others need some support? [06:48] yillkid: just create a USB startup disk already [06:48] [BG]Zlobi, only commas, =s and "s [06:48] does anyone know what the latest versionof the kernel is version number/ [06:49] Sc00t3r: You can be in more than one channel at a time, but a query would work just as well if you prefer, sure. [06:49] doug_ uname -a will tell you what you're using [06:49] cannot find include file gpgme.h. Perhaps you need to install the gpgme development package? [06:49] !info linux-image-generic [06:49] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.22.23 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [06:49] where do I get that from? [06:49] doug_: see ubottu answer above [06:49] !info libgpgme11-dev | xpike [06:49] xpike: libgpgme11-dev (source: gpgme1.0): GPGME - GnuPG Made Easy. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1.2ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 505 kB, installed size 1356 kB [06:50] Flannel: because the OS just for a server work. [06:50] <[BG]Zlobi> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro,nosuid,user,locale="bg_BG.CP1251" /dev/sda2 [06:50] <[BG]Zlobi> is what I use [06:50] acerimmer_: a USB startup disk already ? I do not understand . [06:50] <[BG]Zlobi> and many combos around it, tbh... [06:50] [BG]Zlobi, you need specify mount point after /dev/sda2 [06:50] Slart, I don't want to know what I'm using I want to know what is the latest one available [06:51] yillkid: Ah. So, you don't need the full GUI, just a "base system". That's easy then. Grab the alternate CD and install a "command line only" system (f4 or f5 or something like that will let you choose that option from the boot menu of the CD), or alternatively, use the server CD to install, which installs GUI-less by default. [06:51] yillkid, A USB startup disk is like the LiveCD, except on a USB device. You know, on a flash drive. [06:51] greezmunkey. I am not sure how to PM. would it be bad practice to show the pastebin url for this? [06:51] what about mcrypt.h [06:51] doug_: ehm.. that is the latest one available.. I have absolutely no idea which kernel you're using.. for all I know you could be using an old Amiga or something right now [06:51] Flannel: I do believe you've presented the best solution [06:51] shadows090: I would say so, yes [06:52] shadows090: /msg greezmunkey text... [06:52] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, it worked! :) [06:52] <[BG]Zlobi> let's see [06:52] windows users are soo stupid.. [06:52] xpike: probably libmcrypt-dev . what are you doing?

[06:52] new version [06:52] Slart, oh I was looking at AAA post not ubottu [06:53] <[BG]Zlobi> stupidxp, yes, but they are happy... happy are the stupid ones... :P [06:53] stupidxp, They are not stupid, they simply do not have the knowledge of things that are not as User-Friendly as Windows. [06:53] lol that just ignorance.. [06:53] i both use windows and linux. [06:53] yillkid: Under System>Administration>Startup Disk Creator you can create a memory stick with live CD functions. Just boot from that and you've got ubuntu [06:53] is there an easy way to manually control fan speed on my T60 thinkpad with 10.04? [06:53] Slart, also, I using a c64 right now [06:53] lol [06:53] hi, anyone here know anything about a program called HellaNZB? [06:53] Why is it keep asking me for a whole bunch of .h's [06:53] doug_: awesome =) [06:54] Flannel: Yes, but I install minimal CD, and I have not install any package, icluding "x, gnome ... ..." --- ---> 678 MB. [06:54] xpike, you should run ./configure --prefix=/usr before compiling [06:54] yillkid, that's ok [06:54] * wise_crypt have not used win since 2003 gosh that long [06:54] xpike? probably means you don't have the dependencies to whatever you are trying to compile [06:54] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, it looks mounted, but not able to explore the drive [06:54] <[BG]Zlobi> waits and jumps to the one above [06:54] yillkid: So, that's the base system size. If you'd like, you could trim it down by 100MB, or just live with it being 140MB larger than you planned [06:55] well i'm trying to repair my win xp by importing a new registry file...but it doesnt boot and i'm using ubuntu?? [06:55] is gyachi under a ubuntu packge? [06:55] im sick of installing stuff from source [06:55] <[BG]Zlobi> stupidxp, use grub [06:55] yillkid: If you don't have immediate plans for the other 1.5GB, I'd say you'll be alright. If you do, you should already know what you do and don't need, so you could easily remove what you won't be using [06:55] use ubuntu to repear xp? [06:55] <[BG]Zlobi> grub should detect windows [06:55] xpike: as i told you before apt-cache search kick ash [06:56] winxp will not load...regardless of boot loader.. i removed all permissions on the xp [06:56] <[BG]Zlobi> um, try a repair [06:56] stupidxp, um yea... thats not smart [06:56] now i want to re enstate a fresh registry [06:56] <[BG]Zlobi> With a win install cd [06:56] [BG]Zlobi, use not the icon in sidebar, go to mount dir manually [06:56] xpike: yes, from a ppa [06:56] dot well i was under a ddos [06:56] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, ok... [06:57] stupidxp: ##windows is the place you need o go to get help. This channel doesn't have the technical knowledge of Windows in order to support you effectively [06:57] lol safe mode wont boot.. [06:57] stupidxp, try using the install disk and repair the windows partition it will reset the registry [06:57] is it possible to somehow make a 10.4 disk with kernel 2.6.33 or 34 or 31 anything but 32 really [06:57] stupidxp, If the Windows installation is on the same computer as the Ubuntu installation, you should just be able to run update-grub to add it to the GRUB Bootloader, right? [06:57] holy smokes i feel like im on gentoo doing all this stuff...the GUIs in this OS are meaningless lol [06:57] I have reason to believe .32 is EVIL [06:57] <[BG]Zlobi> there :) [06:57] stupidxp, why did it stopped to boot? [06:57] stupidxp, I would goto #windows [06:57] stupidxp, And if you added a registry file, you might be able to remove it from the installation to get it to boot- considering you can still access the files from ubuntu. [06:57] scoot grub wont fix this, its not apart of the boot process but loading of winxp itself [06:57] !topic [06:57] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

And the next step, I should remove any packages that I don't need? [06:58] stupidxp: you can edit the reg from ubuntu I believe. You can also boot to xp install cd to recovery mode and edit it at command line [06:58] windows has one guy in it dishing out ifo... [06:58] stupidxp, Apparently you can download Windows XP repair disks. Not too sure about it though since it might just be for Vista and 7. [06:58] Guys, take the windows discussion elsewhere. Thanks. [06:59] stupidxp, oh I ment ##windows [06:59] xpike: if you can't find it in the repositories, go to gyachi's site and follow the links to the ppa. [06:59] How can I make gdm execute a system command after a given number of login failures? [06:59] -.- downloading repairs disks an d such is like asking strangers for candy xD [06:59] stupidxp, Mind coming to #ubuntu-offtopic? I can try to help ya' more there. [06:59] http://anipossible3.blogspot.com/2009/01/gyache-on-ubunt.html I am doing this EXACTLY [07:00] Debolaz: afaik there is no such feature [07:00] yillkid: Minimal CD will work to get the installation you want, yes. You said it was 678MB and you want it to be 538. Your only choice is to either live with it using an additional 140MB of space, or find a way to make it smaller (by removing packages you won't use) [07:00] xpike: gyachi's official site. [07:00] acerimmer_: Thank you, I will try, but do you know waht size will I get? [07:00] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, no, opens another disk... [07:00] Sc00t3r: i gues ot is also for ubuntu related :) [07:00] <[BG]Zlobi> the neighbour NTFS [07:00] geekphreak: Is there another login manager I can use that has such a feature? Basically, I want the machine to power off after 3 login failures.

[07:00] [BG]Zlobi, then unmount it and mount again with "bg_BG.UTF-8" locale [07:01] Stupid google poisoning links [07:01] Debolaz: there are other managers yes, do they have same feature, not sure [07:01] <[BG]Zlobi> ok [07:01] yillkid: USB stick has to be at least 1 gigabyte. [07:01] xpike: those are directions to compile it. you can instead try the ppa repository. [07:01] Debolaz, geekphreak: I'm pretty sure you can do that, it wouldn't be a GDM feature though, probably a PAM feature. [07:01] ActionParsnip: need a better isp i gues lol [07:01] is there a command to reset the NIC's MAC back to its own one ? [07:01] Flannel: Why? I can use "debootstrao" directly, and I will get the 538 MB base system . [07:01] im on the ppa page, Im running 8.04 amd64 [07:01] Flannel: how so sir, please guide, i would be interested too [07:01] not listed there [07:02] xpike, whoa thats old [07:02] acerimmer_: And it will less than 538 MB ? [07:02] Wise_crypt: its the combination of google search and googles browser on g1. Nothing to do with isp [07:02] geekphreak: I'm not entirely sure, but it makes sense that it'd be doable from what I understand of PAM modules [07:02] Flannel: Interesting thought. [07:02] wtf is debootstrap? [07:02] yea i know [07:02] yillkid: How did you install via deboostrap? [07:02] * Debolaz has full disk encryption, so a shutdown would basically lock the user completely out of the system. [07:02] Dotblank: its a supported release so gets updates just like lucid does. [07:02] Flannel: well i am all ears, will check on it too [07:03] so theres no such thing as backwards compadability now? lol [07:03] ActionParsnip: owh android hihi okey [07:03] Flannel: hmm ... I mount the HDD to a floader, and #debootatrap lucid /mnt/xxxx [07:03] wise_crypt: exactly [07:03] xpike: if you're going to end up compiling it, see the INSTALL or README files provided in what you downloaded. [07:03] Im not doing anything anymore lol [07:03] im done [07:03] xpike, don't be a c..t and update to a modern system [07:03] yillkid: What are you saying? You have a single install, and you look at the space two ways and it's different sizes? [07:04] Flannel: And mount /dev ... /proc ... to the target, and intall kernl image, reboot . [07:04] i may update to 10.1 32 bit [07:04] xpike: If it depends on a library version that's newer than the one you have then you wouldn't be able to use it [07:04] lol shutting down would lock alot of people out of the pc? [07:04] okay, I think this is my planim going to install 10.4 then upgrade to mainline kernel 2.6.34 on scale of 1 to 10 how hard is that going to be for a noob? [07:04] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, ? [07:04] <[BG]Zlobi> I love U [07:05] Flannel: No. The minimal size I can make, the via debootstrap ... 538MB, just all . [07:05] !language > drizzt_ [07:05] drizzt_, please see my private message [07:05] <[BG]Zlobi> UTF-8 works [07:05] <[BG]Zlobi> Now how to automate this? :) [07:05] do i have to install a from a new disc for 8.04 to 10.1 or can i recompile everything? [07:05] yillkid: No, you could certainly make a smaller system. But, I'm not sure what you're looking for anymore. Are you wondering why the server install isn't the smallest possible? [07:05] Hi [07:05] [BG]Zlobi, put the record in /etc/fstab [07:05] xpike: You can upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 [07:06] xpike, you'd be btter off downloading the 10.04 cd and installing fresh [07:06] xpike: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades [07:06] yea im gunna do it that way [07:06] hey .. ive got 64bit version of 10.04 installed... its only saying I have 8gig of ram, but I have 12... how do I fix this ? [07:06] i have a feeling once i upgrade my compiz fusion would stop working [07:06] jaybinks: send 4 to me ;) [07:06] haha ... thats 1 option... [07:07] jaybinks: perhaps your motherboard has a limit on how much memory it can handle? [07:07] Flannel: Yes, and I want to find a way to install the minimal-est ubuntu. :) [07:07] bios shows 12 gig fine.. [07:07] xpike, do you work on your computer or play with compiz? [07:07] yillkid: Take what you've got, remove everything you don't want. That'll be the easiest way. [07:07] I never have compiz enabled [07:07] Flannel: Any way, just the OS DO NOT out of the ubuntu official support . [07:07] both lol [07:08] I know compiz is a resource hog [07:08] yillkid: What do you mean by "official Ubuntu support"? [07:08] xpike: i love it [07:08] but ti was the easiest thing to do on ubuntu [07:08] geekphreak: It seems pam_tally.so counts the number of failed attempts. But it only supports locking the account, not executing a specific command. Might be possible to modify it. [07:08] also has anyone got compiz working over 2 Video cards ??? ( Nvidia ) [07:08] i didnt wanna bother struggling to get compiz to work on another distro lol [07:08] jaybinks, yes... and no [07:09] I currently have 3 x 24" monitors rotated 90 degrees ... [07:09] and compiz dosnt want to play nice [07:09] Flannel: Using "debootstrap" way, I tried, not many change, because too dependency problems, it will cause the broken packages . [07:09] jaybinks, nice [07:09] the mouse works ok on 2 monitors, ( on same card ) [07:09] Debolaz: thats interesting , will look into it :) [07:09] jaybinks, I have a 24" and a projector [07:09] but then if I move the mouse to the 2nd card ... it starts freaking out [07:09] :( [07:09] be nice to get compiz going [07:10] jaybinks, are you using them as seperate xservers or are you running xinerama [07:10] Flannel: I want to use the official ubuntu apt server, because I want not to maintain my OS by myself . [07:10] at the moment ive got it running as separate X Screens.. [07:10] coz twinview wouldnt work for me :( [07:10] jaybinks, twin view only works on a single video card [07:10] yea .. separate X Servers ... [07:10] yillkid: Ah, well, you can remove anything you want and still use the repositories. Upgrading would be different, but nothing's going to kick you off the repositories. [07:10] yea so there is my problem with twinview :P its not triview :) [07:10] oh I have another question... i have saved passwords in my firefox on my windows partition, is there a way I can access it by mounting the drive and exploring the firefox directory? [07:11] separate X servers just feels a little slow... [07:11] jaybinks, actually there is a card that lets you do it [07:11] yillkid, install dsl and stop trolling that channel [07:11] jaybinks, but its expensive [07:11] xpike: hopefully not. === dabomb69 is now known as Chazz [07:11] i need those passwords lol [07:11] xpike: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile [07:11] yea I could get one of those funky 4 or 6 output cards right :P [07:11] http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadrofx.html [07:11] xpike: perhaps you can use some of the settings from the window installation. [07:11] prince_jammys: fairly trivial [07:11] *windows [07:12] thanks alot [07:12] should I install the recent kernel update? [07:12] drizzt_: What mistake I make? [07:13] on those cards you can used the sli cards outputs as well [07:13] anyone else *still* having issues with 64-bit? ie, the latest version of flash. i have 4GB of ram (which i never fill), not sure it's worth bothering yet [07:13] yillkid, Ubuntu is not supposed to be small [07:13] Debolaz: it has other options i see, nothing to execute a command perhaps if it makes sense to you [07:13] alex87, I don't have issues with 64 bit... just flash [07:13] drizzt_, Debian and Ubuntu are built around the functionality, not efficiency [07:13] geekphreak: I'm looking into pam_exec now. It's not exactly what I want, but could provide a useful way of plugging into the pam system without having to resort to C. [07:14] dotblank, yeah, i haven't had many other issues. another reason to oust adobe i guess [07:14] you may try other distros, like arch or gentoo [07:14] but thanks to webm and html5 my system is slowly using flash less and less [07:14] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, all ready :) [07:14] what's ready? [07:14] <[BG]Zlobi> All my three NTFS partitions [07:14] k [07:15] I love html5 youtube [07:15] drizzt_: I just want to find a official way ... minimal CD is a way... I do not think this is a bed idea, or a unused information for this channel, thanks . :) [07:15] <[BG]Zlobi> Edited entries, commented the original lines :) [07:15] best thing EVER! [07:15] So you guys think if I was booted up running linux, and plugged a typical PC into my mac via usb on both ends, think I could access the windows drive on linux? === thb_Sux is now known as thibow [07:16] andrewfree, ummm no [07:16] andrewfree, well actually you sorta can [07:17] with g_file kernel module [07:17] hi somebody can help me ? [07:17] 0.o [07:17] andrewfree, you'll need a special usb cable and drivers for both OSes to do that. [07:17] !anyone [07:17] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:17] i have problem with a usb live [07:17] andrewfree, why not use the network instead? [07:17] unop, not true.. you can still use normal cables for it [07:18] unop, but it is very complicated [07:18] how do i force mount? how do i list drives? [07:18] andrewfree, USB connection of computers are NOT supported [07:18] stupidxp: guess who is back :p [07:18] ok makes sense, so better question. I have a drive with linux on it, can I boot a PC up from that drive to do repairs to the drive. [07:18] xD [07:18] r0zz: as in? [07:18] dotblank, i've tried this before -- and had to resort to buying the cables .. in anycase, you need the drivers [07:18] i googled and think i found where it is [07:18] stupidxp: sudo fdisk -l [07:19] im using a iso, before my iso was 700 mb but now i need other package and is 1.4gb when boot tell me need to in congous area [07:19] unop, umm have you tried the usb gadget modules? [07:19] hi everybody [07:19] r0zz: huh what? [07:19] r0zz, the usb device is too fragmented to boot from [07:20] what do i need to do? [07:20] i need help :( [07:20] dotblank, umm no, but that would constitute using drivers right? [07:20] r0zz, probably reformat and recreate it [07:20] zio:what is wrong [07:20] hi, is xubuntu or ubuntu netbook remix is better for an old laptop? [07:20] unop, well everything uses drivers.. but I think on most machines its already there [07:21] unop, it emulates a flash drive... so you don't need to install extra drivers [07:21] <[BG]Zlobi> andrewfree, afaik usb can't be used between two PCs [07:21] HEy all. I have a HP DC5100 Computer which supports 4GB ram. after a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 it can only detect 3GB what can I do? [07:21] unop, I stand corrected on the cable thing actually.. but you don't need special drivers [07:21] <[BG]Zlobi> But IEEE1394 aka Firewire can [07:21] kelvinella, linux is not good for old laptops, because hardware support is lacking and no drivers are developed for old hardware [07:21] dotblank, well, the one I used simulated that bi-directionally and you could enable networking if you wanted. [07:22] fcwlxd: whats the difference between installing grub on entire disk (dev/sda) or istalling it in the first partition? [07:22] how do i force mount? [07:22] Zorky, pae [07:22] drizzt_, what? [07:22] <[BG]Zlobi> stupidxp, with -f or smth... [07:22] kelvinella, linux is usable on modern hardware only [07:22] like mount -f /dev/sda1 ?? === administrator is now known as n3rdy [07:23] i found an aplication called WinContig for desfragment but there is other problems [07:23] drizzt_, but everything work in puppylinux here, even the wireless pc card [07:23] if you use kernel 2.4 it might work on older hardware [07:23] <[BG]Zlobi> stupidxp, yes, try [07:23] drizzt_, change kernel to pae? please explain some more on how. [07:23] oh thats good [07:23] Zorky, yes [07:23] [BG]Zlobi: yea I think I am going to just boot ubuntu from a flash drive. How well does that work? Can I install tools on it and have them stay there? [07:24] kelvinella, i'd tryed ubuntu remix, because xubuntu is unusable [07:24] .. [07:24] drizzt_, how usable? [07:24] drizzt_, how unusable? [07:25] What does mean that mdadm says, when I am creating new raid5-system: mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdd: Device or resource busy [07:25] kelvinella, it misses most Gnome tools, and support is third-rate [07:26] drizzt_: Kubuntu "misses most GNOME tools" as well. this is what happens when *you don't use GNOME*. [07:26] <[BG]Zlobi> andrewfree, I think you can, at least have separate folder on usb and use from there once booted [07:26] please somebody [07:26] drizzt_, what gnome tool missing? i thought xubuntu and ubuntu are the same except using different x windows [07:26] mneptok, kubuntu have equivalent tools, xubuntu has nothing [07:26] <[BG]Zlobi> andrewfree, however some stuff does not work w/o real install, you know... [07:26] how can virtual box recognize usb [07:27] drizzt_: ost of them are an apt-get away. [07:27] *most [07:27] r0zz: Vbox has host add-on tools you can install from the client OS. [07:28] <[BG]Zlobi> well, xubuntu is quite usable, tho the diappering panels can piss you off [07:29] xubuntu have no nautilus, no gnome-control-center, no gnome-panel, etc... [07:29] mm need bot from usb in vbox to avoid fatigue restart [07:29] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, but can be controlled just as well for basic tasks, and it is aimed at low-end machines, so it's worth === andrewfree_ is now known as andrewfree [07:30] [BG]Zlobi: meh I think ill just use a ubuntu live cd and install the tools I need each time I need to fix someones computer. [07:31] the only good thing in xubuntu is the keyboard switcher [07:31] whats kayboard switcher? [07:31] <[BG]Zlobi> andrewfree, if you can always have internet :) [07:31] Hello all, I am not able to find cups header files in ubuntu. I have already installed cups through ap-get install cups [07:31] drizzt_: you're wandering far offtopic for #ubuntu at this point. [07:31] andrewfree, you can create a custom live cd by remastering [07:31] What would I search for to find a fix for the "pulse audio breaks on switch user"? [07:32] <[BG]Zlobi> andrewfree, some older PCs don't do USB boot also [07:32] andrewfree, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [07:32] <[BG]Zlobi> But CD + USB is fine [07:32] Do I need to install any other package to get the cups headers ? [07:32] offtopic? I liked to have a flag for layout in gnome 2.26, but they scrapped it in gnome 2.28 or whatever it is right now, and I cannot put it back! [07:33] Well I mainly want to do Mac repair, Im good at that. I want to start learning more PC stuff but I guess ill figure it out as it comes [07:33] drizzt_, the laptop only has 256 mb ram, 1.6GHz pentium M [07:33] drizzt_, unusable in ubuntu, but quite fast in xubuntu [07:33] sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/sda1 what is wrong with this? [07:33] <[BG]Zlobi> -force? [07:33] stupidxp, no mount point [07:34] <[BG]Zlobi> Ah, he as me [07:34] <[BG]Zlobi> drizzt_, aren't you tired :D [07:34] drizzt? how so? [07:34] <[BG]Zlobi> stupidxp, add /media/SOMETHING at the end [07:34] stupidxp: try ntfs-3g? and a mountpoint [07:35] ooooh [07:35] <[BG]Zlobi> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/sda1 /media/Mydisk [07:35] <[BG]Zlobi> fex [07:36] <[BG]Zlobi> and - for -force...

And I downloaded vlc. But i'm unable to play most of my video files, MKV for instance? How can i fix this?

[09:13] I've tried installing a lot of packages as mentioned on the internet [09:13] But, i can't seem to figure out which one is the right one [09:13] is tehr an official list somewhere, which might help me? [09:13] *there [09:14] kurtis: which one? [09:14] Minifigure: i would recommend to backup the whole homefolder and then make new install, then copy the files back [09:14] hi all. I have a question. I have written a C++ program and created a debian package installer for it. After it is installed, i'd like to autostart the program. How can i achieve this? I've tried adding a postinst script wich does the following: /usr/bin/myapp& however the application stops as soon as i close the debian installer. [09:14] its the fastest and easyiest [09:14] there are all your configs from browser, email client, background, all the things [09:14] OKay. [09:14] quick question [09:14] firc: Actually I think VLC usually embeds its own codecs... [09:14] if i upgrade via cd will i lose all my files [09:14] ive downloaded acrobat reader 9 for linux, and its a .bin how do i go about installing this :S [09:15] firc: What's going wrong with it? [09:15] I have, vlc version 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 [09:15] Minifigure: i dont think, you did much system changes, means you only have to install and reupdates all, would need 30 min [09:15] <_zux> hi all [09:15] AfvoWork: form the command line, chmod u+x ; ./ [09:15] when i try to play a MKV file, vlc shows : "Streaming / Transcoding failed: VLC could not open the encoder." === soreau_ is now known as soreau [09:16] Minifigure: then insert the backup disc and copy all files from homefolder to homefolder, incl. then hidden files (view -> hidden files) [09:16] then logout and login again [09:16] all should be as on wubi before [09:16] clan talk anyone know how I can make an alias of a folder I am sharing over samba?

[09:17] kurtis: i did, sudo apt-get install vlc [09:17] <92AAAKEFB> speaking of players, is it possible to get the Totem Movie Player to output using GLSink? Basically, Gnome MPlayer seems to have a problem when rescaling the image in fullscreen, i get thin bars at the top and bottom that are not covered by the black bar....and MPlayer is perfect with GL output, however I would like a "nicer" gui...like that of Totem [09:17] i think my ipod is broken as it refuses to mount in windows too [09:17] ennui: you can make softlinks from folder to folder from everywhere t everywhere. you know them? [09:17] hi, anyone here with ldap experience? [09:17] firc: you could try getting a package straight from the videolan website. im pretty sure it self-contains all of its' codecs. [09:18] kurtis: hmm. Is there no other way? [09:18] firc: You could also look for log files possibly. I'm not sure where they would be stored. maybe ~./vlc or something similar [09:18] kurtis: ok [09:18] migration [09:18] oops [09:18] I am trying to authenticate an ubuntu 10.04 against an ldap on another ubuntu [09:18] firc: I mean ~/.vlc or something similar [09:18] in empathy, when changing status to online, it only enables one and not all accounts [09:18] getent group and getent passwd works [09:19] btu can not login with any ldap users [09:19] Minifigure: got to go, good luck ;) [09:19] firc- vlc is up to 1.0.5 and is working perfectly on 10.04 and i got it from ubuntu software center [09:19] I would appreciate any help [09:19] Take care and thank you [09:19] Minifigure: you can reach my by jabber at jab@der-eichi.de is you have questions again [09:19] Will do.

[09:20] any ideas? [09:21] eichi: I tried "make link" thinking that was like an alias but it told me the source didn't "support symbolic links" [09:21] jigal: Looks like you need to install a Java Runtime and possibly create a /bin/java alias as well [09:22] kurtis: but i think that i did something wrong with the paths or so === hamish is now known as firepilot [09:22] jigal: Yeah I would think Java would be found in /usr/bin or anyonewhere but /bin/ [09:23] I'm recompiling the ubuntu kernel on my macbook. how do I add the efivars module? [09:23] jigal: You can try closing and opening your terminal window unless you've modified your .bashrc (or other shell configuraiton) file [09:23] the directory I'm trying to alias is on OSX being shared via smb [09:23] ennui: So you want to make it look like its a directory on your own system? [09:23] ennui: Basically, mount it? [09:24] kurtis: exactly, I'm afraid I don't know much about networking. [09:25] ennui: no problem. Are you sure it's a samba share? [09:25] ennui: Samba is/was generally a Windows service but I haven't used a map in a while [09:25] mac* [09:25] kurtis: still the same error [09:26] well, I have smb as my sharing method on the osx machine. and I connect to server on the ubuntu machine with "windows share" as the option === 92AAAKEFB is now known as vulf^86 [09:26] jigal: can you run "whereis java" for me?

[09:29] need a way to fix a corrupted folder on a external hdd,any idea? [09:29] I mean /bin/java ...

First, you can cahnge the script to replace /bin/java with /usr/bin/java or you can make a link [09:30] jigal: I would recommend modifying the script, personally [09:30] relevant part of lspci "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)" [09:30] so any ideas? [09:31] kurtis: i think the problem appeared after i set the JAVA_HOME and the $PATH i think something is wrong over there [09:31] jigal: oh are you trying to install a java web server or something?

[09:34] jigal: You could possibly try 'sudo ln -s /usr/bin/java /bin/java' and then just make sure you remove the /bin/java file when you're done [09:34] i have lm-sensors installed [09:35] rich_: sudo apt-cache search fan sensors [09:36] I want to access my USB scanner from other PC in my Home-LAN, what do I need to do?

[09:36] kurtis: well messing up is easy but fixig ;- [09:37] lol [09:37] jigal: breaking and fixing is how you learn [09:38] skramer_: What exactly do you mean? Like how do you want to access it? [09:38] skramer: There's probably a solution out there somewhere but if not, you could just write a script to scan and put the file in a shared directory or something similar [09:39] jigal: Let me know if that symbolic link works out for you [09:39] kurtis: the scanner is connected to desktop PC, but I want to use scan program on my laptop [09:39] hello [09:39] kurtis: so far, the laptop says it could not see any scan device [09:39] skramer_: I'm not really sure how easy that would be to do. You'd have to have some sort of USB over Lan type of thing [09:40] how can i change display resolution in xubuntu ??? [09:41] kurtis: I believe saned has to run on desktop, but all information I found was for older versions of Ubuntu [09:41] zijo: What's the problem? Do you only have one resolution listed or do you not know where to look? [09:41] hi [09:41] kurtis: it seems there are some changes since the switch to Upstart? [09:42] can you please tell me how to install intel 4500 graphics drivers under 64bit ubuntu 9.1 ? [09:43] kurtis: no i have 3 rezolution listen and de max is 1024x768 but i can it be higher ?

Here's a little tutorial I google'd up real quickly on using sort. (http://lowfatlinux.com/linux-sort.html) [09:51] freenode-fan: It looks like its sorting your third column instead of second column. But you're using variables for those options. Possibly (x - 1) for whichever field it is?

Good ol' Patriot Act of 2004 [09:59] I have a laptop (Dell Vostro) and a 24" dell monitor. I have both configured correctly right now; the right resolution for each. However I want the 24" one as the master. The one having the panels etcetera. How do I do that? [09:59] Yup. Unless you commit a crime... [09:59] ah, true [09:59] Normally if the company feels you've done something illegal they'll hand over the data. [09:59] Everything is logged these days [10:00] SirMoo, Or transmit over ATT === Sup|Lobby is now known as Guest38506 [10:00] Also; Is it possible for the panels to stretch across all monitors? or to have different panels on different monitors? [10:00] Haha. Yeah, I use ATT DSL, It's fast where I am... However their past things tend to worry me. [10:01] SirMoo: Yeah. I like AT&T DSL service but it's too slow these days [10:01] Where are you located?

But I could never get the 1.5MB/s+ I get with Roadrunner [10:03] ennui: Did you give permission recursively? [10:04] well it is the OSX machine's directory I'm trying to access. In the OSX sharing settings I have this user set to be able to read and write. I don't see any other options [10:05] ennui: under osx's command line you should be able to run a BSD commandline to acheive the recursive affect. I'm just not sure if you would use regular chmod or some type of samba permissions program [10:07] kurtis: how would i tell which is running? [10:09] How do I change the name of my computer? The name that shows up under network? [10:09] !hostname [10:09] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

[11:01] unop: my experience is, this is the only way most of them will learn something. sad but true [11:01] erUSUL, or anyone really, how do i tell if the mount points in /media/ have anything attached to them? [11:02] what is the best old install of ubuntu to use [11:02] KingOfTheKIll: The Live CD fails, says the media is borked. I just got the Install encounted an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will be run so that you may find the problem [11:02] ie 8.04 or 8.10 [11:02] evilsherpa: "mount" tells you [11:02] What should normally happen when I click a weblink in Terminal? As for now, I click it, nothing happens [11:02] i need to go back [11:03] llutz does apache2 make a user www-data? if so would www-data:www-data /var/www make it do the same and make user/group owner www-data? [11:03] rtronk, you are aware that what you are doing there is not a good thing to do, right? [11:03] hi [11:03] cavej03: if an old one, choose an lts one, 8.04 iirc, why do you have to downgrade though? [11:03] llutz, there's something called - raising consciousness through education. I'm not saying don't dish out stuff like this, just stick the disclaimer on afterwards. [11:04] Gryllida, Game Im playing doesnt like 10.4 [11:04] Keypad: have you tried the cd in a another computer [11:04] Gryllida, Stutters badly and frame skips. Do u have any advice on this matter? [11:04] cavej03, ah what error does it say? [11:05] ah [11:05] Gryllida, No errors [11:05] Gryllida, just unplayable [11:05] llutz, Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (312576641): Invalid argument seems to be the rror [11:05] cavej03, what are your specs? (cpu, ram) [11:05] core i5 OC 3.4 [11:05] 4 g ddr 3 cl9 ram [11:05] rtronk, yes, to answer your question, that's how chmod works. [11:05] clock on that is 1440 mhz i think [11:06] ? cpu in MHz, RAM in MB? [11:06] 4890 ati [11:06] 3.4ghz [11:06] ooh, looks ok [11:06] hardware isnt a problem [11:06] unop, could you recommend how i would do this properly then? im the only person who will ever have access to this server i have my user in the group to be able to edit files only [11:06] game is nativly supported in linux [11:06] and runs fine on windows [11:06] drivers are installed fine as well [11:06] cavej03, does this game say something about supported software? do you ever see it working ok on any platform? [11:07] ok [11:07] fine on windows. [11:07] ya [11:07] fine on windows [11:07] fine on linux until 10.4 [11:07] and 9.10 started to show problems [11:07] do they say something about supporting linux on their website? [11:07] ya [11:07] they have a dedicated forum [11:07] but i cant find much on my problem [11:07] sounds like its me [11:07] KingOfTheKIll: No I havent but the MD5 is sweet [11:07] ok, try to find out what parts of os it integrates with, then hit this site: [11:07] !launchpad [11:07] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [11:07] game is heroes of newerth [11:08] Can you limit a program's io to stdin/stdout? [11:08] Could you please point me to documentation on how to configure & fine-tune heartbeat 3 + pacemaker within Ubuntu 10.04 ? [11:08] rtronk, well, you can do what you wanted - just know that it leaves your /var/www/ directory (and all content you have under it) open to abuse if apache is ever compromised. best thing to do is use sudo if you want to change anything in there. [11:08] can someone help with getting a webcam working... cheese works, but not skype [11:08] ok ill check LP out [11:08] aha! [11:08] right [11:08] nishi? [11:08] silverfox_, looks like cheese problem, not a linux one [11:08] do you know if any, dunno how to ask, like x has been upgraded [11:08] ？？ [11:08] where's a good spot for some support? [11:08] i was trying to install ubuntu from my windows machine, i downloaded the ubuntu windows installer from ubuntu.com and everything worked fine but when i restarted the pc and booted ubuntu, the installation got stuck at some screen telling me "getting time from a network-time-server" [11:08] in 10.4 [11:08] it appears ubuntu doesn't support the atheros drivers [11:08] anybody knows how to fix it? [11:08] er skype problem, silverfox_ [11:08] or my system is totoally unable to compile stuff out of the box [11:09] or something [11:09] but i have no wireless. [11:09] perhaps maybe i should just try 8.04 to rule the game being a problem out [11:09] lol v1ech unplug ethernet cable and try again [11:09] maybe latest upgrade in game is the problem [11:09] cheese works... can see pics etc - skype don't [11:09] there is no ethernet cable [11:09] Can you limit a program's io to stdin/stdout? [11:09] silverfox_: maybe #skype or something [11:09] which brings me to my next problem....

Specifically, certain JMol Java Applets fail to work due to errors. [11:40] linxeh, on the other hand these applets work on a machine with simlar configuration (that is Ubuntu 10.4) [11:40] I have another machine with similar problem, very slow to get to grub and then lucid is so slow to be unusable. and now that XP won't boot at all. Is there a fix or do I reinstall? [11:42] hello [11:42] hi, i cant upgrade to kernel 2.6.32.23 in xubuntu 10.04 lts the kernel I cannot install it [11:42] Hello guys, I need advice - feel free to comment whatever you like - ANYTHING is appreciated as I am completely stuck: A end-user applet complains about a line " >>>> <<<<" in a file which it got from a server on port 8080 - YET when I check out the file myself THAT LINE is not there and the file looks all proper!

[11:43] ManDay: oh I see [11:43] buppa_, right click on the file, select "Properties"->"Open with" [11:43] ManDay: can you paste the url ? [11:43] strwg, stick with transcend or other good brands because cheap ones have lot of defects and will overheat or fry etc [11:43] hi my kernel is 2.6.32-22 generic, but i cant upgrade to kernel 2.6.32.23 in xubuntu 10.04 lts the kernel I cannot install it [11:43] Can I make sure that if I run a program it can only only stdin and stdout?

After I leave my Chrome browser for a few hours, my CPU goes to 100% of usage and I assume it's because of excessive amount of RAM taken by the Flash plugin so it uses HDD afterwards.

If i remember clearly, for the OS to sleep, i had to make certain partitions. I just need to know which ones and what were they [12:06] Cavej03, ah [12:06] Cavej03, i want to see output of dmesg [12:06] I remember doing it from manual (advanced).

[12:08] afk [12:09] indus, so i should update hardy in live cd? [12:09] indus, so i should update hardy in live usb* [12:09] A process called mlocate keeps starting up, thrashing my HDD as much as possible, and using 100% CPU and eventually 100% memory killing off several processes in the process. What is going on! [12:09] i now kept uplugging the wlanstick, i have no ethernet cable plugged in and still when starting ubuntu to complete the installation it gets stuck at "getting the time from a network-time-server" [12:10] anybody knows how to skip that? [12:10] dli__ : i did not understand what you meant to say by "suspend to disk". I just want to install Ubuntu as my main OS. I wiped out windows. I have booted in from Ubuntu Live CD. An now i am on "Prepare Disk Space". I already ended up formating the disk from windows because i got really pissed at windows for something. was going to re instal windows but then i was like hell with it [12:10] ok linux is easy and xubuntu more.. hi, my kernel is 2.632.22 but i cant update to kernel 2.6.32.23 in xubuntu lts go to : http://picasaweb.google.es/112370194056728732538/Notmorewindows?authkey=Gv1sRgCIOQk9zP5NPbBQ#5483696128809397394 [12:10] Cavej03, ok do this , file a bug and watch if similar bugs pop up [12:10] Cavej03, then go to #ubuntu-bugs and ask , then go to #ubuntu-kernel [12:10] indus, i have lost you?

[12:11] indus, no idea sorry [12:11] Cavej03, hmm [12:11] Cavej03, ok 1 sec [12:11] I think some udev rules or something are broken in lucid, usbnet drivers don't load automatically when a usb network device is connected - it did work in karmic [12:11] Got it! Flashblock extension is an acceptable solution for this issue. [12:11] AAA_awright: probably a cronjub that runs mlocates updatedb [12:11] indus, i knowledge in some things but not others lol [12:11] kaiser2011, if you don't need windows later, you can do manually partition [12:11] AAA_awright: locate is a command to search archives. it periodically updates the database it mantains of the files in the hard disk [12:11] !info mlocate [12:11] mlocate (source: mlocate): quickly find files on the filesystem based on their name.

I do not know if it was swap or not. [12:14] k [12:14] Cavej03, concatenate with cat [12:15] the swap = 2 x ram made sense (maybe) when 16 MB of ram was a common number [12:15] Cavej03, actually without hardware info its difficult to trouble shooy [12:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/451041/ [12:15] kaiser2011, usually, 1GB swap is enough, 2 times RAM is a recommendation of the last decade. since you can use "suspend to disk" with compression, 2GB ram should be enough [12:15] hello [12:15] weUSUL: Thanks [12:15] hardware is asus p7p55 lx mobo [12:15] and checking hdd now [12:15] hi all [12:15] what is partial upgrade?

[13:11] cavej03_, hmm no [13:12] llutz: im gonna keep that in mind until next time, thanks [13:12] cavej03_, i mean hmm not sure, have to go and check [13:12] I had set static ip 192.168.1.2 & 192.168.1.3 [13:12] cavej03_, but as far as i know, yes, its a beta and will remail since ubuntu dont update graphics drivers [13:12] in /etc/network/interfaces [13:12] still no success with ping [13:12] cavej03_, its catalyst 10.4 beta i believe april 2010 [13:13] dev123: check connection with "sudo ethtool eth0|grep -i link" [13:13] I have a program (namely Matlab for linux) that starts when I type "matlab" from a command line, but doesn't start when I click the menu icon - which has the same thing (the "matlab" command). How should I modify the menu shortcut to get it to work? [13:13] Hi there, I boot ubuntu from an external drive and a given FAT partition is mounted automatically, but it's not in fstab. Who mounts it? How can I edit the mount flags? [13:13] aurilliance: put the full path to the executable in the menu icon, editing it with "modify menu", it should work. [13:14] cavej03_, why , are you having issues with fglrx [13:14] hi! Can you help me, please? I need to move .mo file to locales folder but I hevn't enough permissions though I use root [13:14] aurilliance: get the full path from the terminal, using "which matlab" [13:14] aurilliance: matlab has a special option for starting it without an attached terminal, it won't work without it [13:14] llutz, Link detected: yes [13:14] aurilliance: I forgot what that option was, try matlab -help [13:14] dev123: "sudo ifup eth0" [13:14] Le-Chuck_ITA: if think if you add it to fstab it will follow the flags [13:14] Hi, I accidentally deleted the mount folder /mnt/data, which connected to /dev/sda5 (ext4) [13:15] when I tried to mount it again to another folder, [13:15] anyone know how to redirect a web connection to another web address using shorewall? [13:15] EagleScreen: good idea; but anyways how do I decide which partitions are mounted automatically (it seems to me by the same thing that mounts volumes when I click on them) [13:15] drbobb, Le-Chuck_ITA thanks both [13:15] it is empty [13:15] what should I do [13:15] dev123: ping 192.168.1.3 (or .2 from the other machine) [13:15] aurilliance: probably I was just wrong seen the comment by drbobb [13:15] fqhuy: you deleted it while it was mounted? if so how exactly? [13:15] Gparted said that, the sda5 is not empty [13:15] Dr_Willis: yes [13:15] llutz, From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable [13:15] f [13:16] Le-Chuck_ITA, I will try it anyway ;) [13:16] dev123: "sudo ifup eth0" on both machines [13:16] dev123: sudo route add default eth0 [13:16] Le-Chuck_ITA: in Ubuntu any partition can be mounted if you are admin, unless some entry in fstab forbide it [13:17] fqhuy: if sda5 was mounted, it is empty now [13:17] EagleScreen: what I mean is: I tried several times if there was an option to automount a device in gnome, without editing fstab, by the same way of invoking mount that seems to be builtin in the "computer" location in nautilus. Every time I had to modify fstab, and now... a volume is automatically mounted, without being in fstab, and I wonder how to decide that [13:17] fqhuy: how did you dleete it ? what command? === rabidweezle is now known as Type-O [13:18] Hi - I am attempting to figure out what the term "multiplexer" means in the following context: "If you have access to an SSH server where you can install and run Irssi, it is also recommended to install screen, a terminal multiplexer." [13:18] Dr_Willis: nautilus with root [13:18] indus, so is fglrx seperate to the ati drivers? [13:18] !screen | Incarnation [13:18] Incarnation: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [13:18] no shift [13:18] cavej03_, no same [13:18] Incarnation: you have more then 1 terminal at a time, you switch btween them via key combox. [13:18] Le-Chuck_ITA: I dont know [13:18] llutz: I tried to mount it again, but the folder is empty [13:18] indus, so even on an older version of ubuntu i probably going to have problems. [13:19] Incarnation: you could think of your tv as a 'video multiplexer' :) it can change channels.. [13:19] In one window, Dr_Willis? I see [13:19] fqhuy: because you deleted the content of sda5 [13:19] Ohh... [13:19] can i use older drivers? [13:19] Incarnation: screen is WORTH learning to use if you are going to be using ssh/terminal a lot [13:19] drbobb, matlab -desktop it is ;) [13:19] cavej03_, what problems [13:19] thanks EagleScreen [13:19] aurilliance: right, you got it [13:19] llutz: but gparted shows that, the sda5 still has 18Gb [13:19] data [13:19] q: I'm using gnome-do (love it!) but it has cached an old version of an icon for one of my files - can I get it to refresh it's icon somehow? [13:19] Dr_Willis okay [13:20] fqhuy: "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt && df -h /mnt" [13:20] aurilliance, restart it. [13:20] graphics problems in game === abcde is now known as Guest21121 [13:20] aurilliance, or wait it out, it usually refreshes eventually. [13:20] llutz: what does that mean ?

[14:08] unop: but the mysql one in theory should work [14:09] who was i helping with that setup.py file? [14:09] because sudo service mysql start for me is neither starting mysql, nor returning me to the prompt [14:09] gbillings: that would be me. hi! [14:09] Beelsebob, try. sudo invoke-rc.d mysql start [14:10] undecim: "rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d use service(8) utility, e.g. service mysql start..."

Version 0.13 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) [14:25] unop: only the bind-address [14:26] indus, separate iso [14:26] changing it back has no useful effect though [14:26] Beelsebob, what did you change it to? [14:26] bazhang, ah ok, hmm [14:26] indus: i don't believe there is a separate ISO at this time, only the metapackage in the repos. [14:26] unop: my machine's IP on the local network – so that I could access it from another machine [14:26] (the ubuntu box running mysql's IP) [14:26] I installed from a separate iso [14:26] hello [14:26] Pici, [14:26] xana: [14:26] ah there you go Pici [14:26] I installed from a separate iso [14:27] so says xana [14:27] does anyone know if couchdb is installed by default on a ubuntu install ? [14:27] xana: hrm. [14:27] lubuntu.org [14:27] the desktop project seems slightly diff from the lubuntu os [14:27] can anyone tell me the name of the theme used in 10.04 [14:27] the default 1 [14:27] lapion, i think it is [14:28] thnx [14:28] Cavej03, ambient , light and dark, [14:28] JackStoner, thnx [14:28] Ambiance [14:28] Beelsebob, hmm, not sure whether that might have had an effect. [14:28] lapion, welcome [14:28] Cavej03, ah ambiance yes [14:28] why can't I drag and drop a folder or file into a terminal, like I used to be able to? [14:28] it just acts like it's not there [14:28] unop: it was working fine when I was using 9.10, it's post 9.10 -> 10.04 that it's died [14:28] and warns me that I'm trying to copy a folder/file into itself [14:29] heyy could you guys maybe help me :( im having issues! [14:29] unop: but as I say, changing the bind-address back to 127.0.0.1 does not allow it to start correctly [14:29] If the 5 red/white dots stops giving me feedback, the installation was failing, right? [14:29] hmm, it now happens several days that all my letters show up uppercase as if I'd be using capslock. how do I fix that? It's not my keyboard since I swapped that already [14:29] xana, indus: Lets let support continue for now here, and we ops take a look to see whether it should be supported here in the future :) [14:29] Pici, also, the package is in multiverse hmm [14:29] Pici, K [14:29] ok [14:29] xana, so did you solve [14:29] xana, i mean find package fglrx [14:29] k [14:30] indus, it made a new kernel, lemme reboot [14:30] brb [14:30] huh made ? [14:30] Beelsebob, not sure what else I can suggest. I would reinstall mysql ( sudo aptitude reinstall "~imysql" ). If you'd rather not, perhaps the folk in #mysql could help. [14:30] !offtopic [14:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:30] JackStoner, any idea what it does ? [14:30] indus, it compiled a kernel [14:30] any reason why my top toolbar doesnt show and i can't minimize, maximize, or even close my windows o.O? [14:30] xana, ah yes wait [14:30] lapion, no, try aptitude show couchdb [14:31] xana, also type sudo aticonfig --initial [14:31] indus, k [14:31] then reboot [14:31] unop: I'll give that a try, it'll be no great reconstruction effort to resurect the db [14:31] Beelsebob, if you already have a database or databases -- the reinstall won't touch them. [14:31] xana, good luck or buon fortuna [14:31] gbillings: I give up, I'll just run it on my netbook for now. Thanks for all your help though. [14:31] unop: oop… up and running [14:32] indus, looks like it made an xorg.conf :) [14:32] Beelsebob, yea? [14:32] hi everyone, i have an instance of ubuntu running on Xen - sometimes the box just hangs (becomes unresponsive to anything) -- it seems to happen randomly [14:32] xana, :) [14:32] anyone know what might be causing this? [14:32] unop: running it on port 3307 sorted it… o.O [14:32] indus, can I reboot now? [14:32] unop: ohhhh… I know why [14:32] xana, yes [14:32] brb [14:32] reboot? [14:32] Beelsebob, do tell. :) [14:32] * JackStoner stepped out [14:32] xana didn't need to [14:32] When I tried to install ubuntu, I got those five dots thats toggling between red and white, but after a while, they stopped giving me feedback, can I conclude that the installation was a failure? [14:32] it's a VM with it's network bridged to the host machine's NIC… the windows host machine will be running mysql on port 3306! [14:33] yes Anli...you can [14:33] anli_: sounds like it [14:33] always good to reboot after a graphics card installation [14:33] i mean driver [14:33] any reason why my top toolbar doesnt show and i can't minimize, maximize, or even close my windows o.O? [14:33] indus, so just sh the ati drivers indus? and then what command after? [14:33] mick_laptop: Any idea of how I can get some textual information about the error? [14:33] Cavej03, sudo sh drivername [14:33] ya [14:33] then ati -intital? [14:33] i just updated everything and now it does this [14:33] anli_: usually the medium is screwed up - did you compare the iso w/ the sumcheck? [14:33] Beelsebob, that doesn't make sense -- bridged mode doesn't mean they share the same IP address, or does it? [14:33] indus: ok, good point [14:34] Cavej03, yes thats all and finally yes aticonfig --initial , but thats because i find that i dont get a display on reboot without it [14:34] ok [14:34] mick_laptop: Its a usb stick, I can try that [14:34] unop: fair point [14:34] otherwise for 4 years i tried nvidia installer from site and could never get it to work , so yes ATI installer is super easy [14:35] unop: bridged means "get ip from the router [14:35] mick_laptop, ha ha, that's a gross over simplification. it actually means, place the vm in the same network segment. [14:36] unop: i figured a simple answer for a simple person :P [14:36] mick_laptop, i like the answer === amp is now known as Guest86942 [14:36] Is there a way to get some more information than 5 colored dots when the installation of ubuntu is failing? [14:36] so otherwise get ip from where ? [14:37] ola [14:37] mick_laptop, well, i'd argue it's also a wrong answer -- a vm in other modes can still get an address from a DHCP server, nothing special about "bridged mode" in that respect. [14:37] any reason why my top toolbar doesnt show and i can't minimize, maximize, or even close my windows o.O? [14:37] i gtg [14:37] bye folks [14:37] so i've got a problem with my samba file server, i was trying to add users to access a share, and restarted the server, and now i have "Fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 70g: Clean, 98677/4276224 files, 660900/17089776 blocks and the server won't boot up, i can SSH into the machine, the desktop won't go past this message, and webmin won't connect anymore [14:37] hello [14:38] curses i have to ctrlQ EVERYTHING [14:38] ironreaper:how old are nyou [14:39] do you use glxgears to test ati's? [14:39] you??? [14:39] anyone have any ideas on this? [14:39] Strange question...I don't feel like answering.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:39] hold on Krazy i'm checking it out [14:40] awesome thanks, i'm looking at the screen like a deer in the headlights, the server isn't online yet so my gut reaction is to just reinstall everything lol [14:40] all in all if we can't find anything then thats a sad possibility [14:41] i'm having annoying problems I cant move, close, minimize or anything to my windows and its really hard to work around it. [14:42] Ok Audacity sux!!! It freezes every time I press the stop button when recording, so I lose my entire performance. Is there something similar but more stable? === Slash is now known as Guest66643 [14:42] sorry gtg Krazy, reposting ur question so someone can hopefully answer it [14:43] Krazyderek: so i've got a problem with my samba file server, i was trying to add users to access a share, and restarted the server, and now i have "Fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 70g: Clean, 98677/4276224 files, 660900/17089776 blocks and the server won't boot up, i can SSH into the machine, the desktop won't go past this message, and webmin won't connect anymore [14:43] UltraParadigm, ubuntu-studio comes with many audio production apps, perhaps something there useful to you [14:43] hi, I installed "External tools" for Gedit and I'm trying to setup a build process for gomake (go-lang), but all I get is this "/home/$USER/.gnome2/gedit/tools/go-format: line 15: gofmt: command not found". Can somebody help? [14:44] xana: Yeah, but they all seem so complicated. I'll see if there is a simple one in there. [14:44] I'm following this guide http://gohelp.wordpress.com/gedit-an-ide-for-go/auto-formatting/ [14:45] I wanted to use just the regular gnome sound recorder but if F(*&s with all my patchbay settings in JACK [14:45] yanick_: isn't it telling you that the gofmt command was not found? [14:45] Krazyderek: boot again and hope it passes disk check [14:45] drbobb, sure it does, but the command exists, and if I type in the terminal it works [14:45] yanick_: You'll need to follow http://golang.org/doc/install.html as well. [14:46] drbobb, what's the diff between gedit's terminal and gnome-terminal? [14:46] yanick_: means it's probably outside tha standard PATH [14:46] Pici, I sure did [14:46] can anybody help me with lm-sensors/gnome sensors applet? [14:46] drbobb, even if I specify $GOBIN/gofmt (which is my env variables) it still tells me the command is not found [14:47] how do I access the grub menu on boot in 10.04? [14:47] yanick_: perhaps the plugin does not expand env variables? [14:47] i just see blinking cursor [14:48] rmrfslash, you have to hit enter at the right time during the boot process [14:48] that's user friendly [14:48] thanks [14:48] yanick_: that's as much as anyone can say, not having any idea how that plugin is implemented [14:48] drbobb, .... it does not... O_o weird [14:49] why External tools does not load ~/.bashrc ? === gb_ is now known as GaMeBoY [14:49] rmrfslash-it used to pull up the grub menu automatically, and you can still configure it to do so, get the start-up manager from the software center [14:49] i'll try again [14:49] hello [14:49] it's a new feature of grub 2 [14:50] the 'hiding' of the menu, that is [14:50] yanick_: .bashrc is supposed to be loaded by interactive shells only [14:50] OK hitting enter did not work [14:51] I repeatedly hit enter the whole time the cursor was blinking [14:51] nothing ever happened [14:51] Hmz, today I get an "Segmentation fault" when I try to run somthing with sudo... anyone that knows what it could be? [14:51] I remember figuring thi out once [14:51] try pulling down the start-up manager from the software center, it'll give you a gui to configure grub [14:51] are ubuntu's share libraries compiled with PIC support? [14:51] someone says it's "shift" [14:52] rmrfslash: Yes, hold the shift key down at boot should bring the grub menu up === njpatel_ is now known as njpatel [14:52] oops, it's startup-manager [14:52] still there [14:52] drbobb, alright. I explicitly specified ~/go/bin/gofmt and it works. :/ [14:53] yanick_: good to know [14:53] vu1kan, oops, convinently I disconnected right before you answered, I think. [14:53] yanick_: how are you finding the go lang? [14:53] there are a couple of hits on google, but i don't know how to make sense of them, am i supposed to intercept the loader? === tom__ is now known as motnit [14:54] can anybody help me with lm-sensors/gnome sensor applet? === emc_ is now known as emc [14:55] who the heck originally said use the enter key? [14:55] <- [14:55] vu1kan, E: couldn't find package startup-manager [14:55] drbobb, it's very interesting, actually. I want to try and setup a demo project that will launch Chrome in app mode and access a simple hello world page with a "remote" request (post data) and display some result using JQuery. If that works, I would consider learning the language more in details and start real projects with it [14:55] ie: a framework [14:55] that's the way it's configured on my system [14:55] the package is named something different, i got it through the software center [14:56] yanick_: is that the only sort of stuff it's good for atm? [14:56] hi! i am having a strange problem! Presntly, I am connected to this irc, but I cannot browse the net. [14:56] you have a proxy set up that doesnt exist banskt? [14:56] I want an application to block websites, from all bowsers including chrom, is there any ? [14:56] I mean, I can ping www.google.com but I cannot connect to www.google.com [14:56] I have no proxy [14:57] banskt you need to enter your dns servers [14:57] R_001, you should be able to use the hosts file, as a quick and dirty solution. [14:57] well, I cannot connect to 144.16.75.2, which I should even if there is no dns [14:57] zachlr: I need an application, I don't mind if it's working under windows [14:57] Any annotations in evince? [14:58] so no one has seen Fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 before? [14:58] but I can ping 144.16.75.2, I am using the opendns [14:58] on boot up === unnamed is now known as Guest61204 [14:58] drbobb, it's not meant for native (desktop) dev, but there are projects to connect go with Gtk, etc. and directly make Desktop GUI dev possible... but I find it too retro :) I think Go + Chrome (+JQuery) is a better alternative than any other dev solution as it is remote portable and cross platform === switchgirl is now known as GoddessNemisis [14:58] are ubuntu's shared libraries compiled with PIC support? === GoddessNemisis is now known as switchgirl [14:59] banskt is your firewall blocking port 80? [14:59] drbobb, the NaCl (native client) is currently in development and may allow gui packages to be developped some time after [14:59] yanick_: well I'm not really terribly interested in desktop GUI, more in data-munging stuff === switchgirl is now known as DarkNemisis [14:59] Nemisis? [14:59] @pilot, I am also suspecting that something is related to port 80, but how do I check that? [15:00] I thought it was spelled Nemesis, hmm [15:00] drbobb, the, I'm not sure exactly what can be done with Go yet, but if you can connect to MySQL databases (or other Db engines) and hook the go script to a web server, it's sure is faster than PHP (almost as fast as C as they tell) [15:00] yanick_: but CAN you? [15:00] banskt the default firewall is ufw === aronxu is now known as happyaron [15:01] drbobb, I don't see why not. Since most Db answer through sockets.... and Go CAN connect on sockets... [15:01] yanick_: and fast to run doesn't matter as much as fast to code [15:02] banskt from command line or terminal you could try sudo ufw --dry-run allow http [15:02] ok, over a thousand people in the channel, and nobody is willing/able to help me figure out gnome sensors? [15:02] it says the rules updated... [15:02] !patience | vu1kan [15:02] vu1kan: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[15:04] drbobb, ... there are imaginary numbers built-in.... I find that wicked :P [15:04] yanick_: python has had native complex numbers for years [15:04] banskt so port80 is not restricted then [15:04] yanick_: it's not blazing fast though === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [15:05] @pil0t: -A ufw-user-input -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT [15:05] grrrrrrrr, GNUsound crashed me :-( X just restarted. bah!

I don't know why python is so cool. when I see .py files, and try to read them, I want to puke :) [15:05] maintained [15:05] this was the output (important line among many others) [15:05] I guess I just never got used to Python [15:05] yanick_: well I find that hard to grasp [15:05] lapion, i dont know much about couchdb [15:05] !couchdb [15:06] yanick_: they usually read just fine [15:06] http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Relaxed-Ubuntu-9.10-CouchDB-to-be-Integrated [15:06] banskt yeah it doesn't seem to be your local machines firewall. Are you sure you have dns servers set correctly? [15:06] drbobb, I find Go more user friendly [15:06] !list [15:06] 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 » [15:06] so i just accidentally removed the chat/mail icon from my top bar (Lucid) how can i add it back? [15:07] yanick_: at least 50% of python's user-friendliness is a rich standard library [15:07] JackStoner, nice addition, but I think they forgot to add the possibility to change password [15:07] wavesonics-> rightclick a blank space on your panel [15:07] goto 'add to panel...' [15:07] How do I restart the vnc service on 10.04 from the cli?

[15:08] Wavesonics, "Indicator Applet" is the name :) [15:08] lapion, oh yeah...would be nice to have that [15:08] and add indicator applet [15:08] drbobb, I won't argue with that, Python has been around for years! so of course there are lots of features to it. But I think Go will outrun it in a couple of years [15:08] well another info --> sudo ufw status [15:08] Status: inactive [15:08] Wavesonics goto system->main menu [15:08] hi all! can anyone tell me that is there a way to save error messages that arrives when there is a problem in installing LINUX????? [15:08] ZykoticK9, ah awesome thanks :D [15:09] hi. the dns lookup needs at least 5 seconds in firefox but nslookup via console is very fast. what could be the problem? [15:09] yanick_: I don't dare predict what will happen in a few years, but I'm curious about what can I use Go for right now [15:09] banskt are you on a LAN? a home network, work network? [15:09] drbobb, I'm not sure about that, but I think Go could also be run client side (i.g. ) and this is so, Javascript will become less popular as it will be possible to have Go in server and client side [15:10] anyway... it would be nice [15:10] comag: dns prefetch can be the problem likely [15:10] i am on a wireless network, modem from my ISP. home network. [15:10] ohir, what should i do? [15:10] yanick_: I'm sure it can in theory, but does any widely used browser support it today? [15:10] comag: firefox is resolving all domains it sees in actually rendered page [15:10] drbobb, no, and certainly not Microsoft... [15:11] not yet anyway [15:11] cv [15:11] guys, advice ati video drivers for ubuntu [15:11] ohir, ok i will deactivate it and see what happens [15:11] drbobb, nice talking to you. I got to go [15:12] comag: either get accustomed, change your ISP nameserver to one with lower load (usually thir or fourth of theirs) or turn dns prefetch off in firefox [15:12] ... go... :) [15:12] yanick_: c.u.

[19:20] 2 minutes ago [19:20] tw34k1ng: I am not sure if you can [19:20] AlphaOmega thar ye be [19:20] nah [19:20] I have a network-aware ubuntu box that can not ping a website, even if I can ssh into it from the local LAN. This is the /etc/network/interfaces file I use for that box: http://pastebin.com/WF7fd4zW [19:21] spyro_: why am I able to view and see my 2 linux boxes on the network through windows 7 but the 2 linux boxes cant see each other? [19:21] i dont think that s it [19:21] tw34k1ng: however there are quite a few alternative file managers, and maybe one or some of those, can do it [19:21] how can i tell? [19:21] sebsebseb: maybe I need to be root [19:21] actually, the box cannot contact any website [19:21] tw34k1ng: no [19:21] tw34k1ng: dont' think so [19:21] AlphaOmega ps aux === Ara is now known as Guest89251 [19:21] no [19:21] What is the name of the program to install the ati open source drivers? [19:21] its a [sh]. its probably *not* listening [19:21] !root | tw34k1ng [19:21] tw34k1ng: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:21] hey guys [19:21] sebsebseb: I am using Ubuntu Tweak [19:22] tw34k1ng: not background, but if you want something that looks nicer, I know what to suggest [19:22] hi [19:22] ubottu: but you can still do: "sudo su" to get a root console [19:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:22] hi [19:22] sebsebseb: what? [19:22] can i use ubuntu as a os for the computers on a netcafe? === macsmister is now known as macsmisterrrrr [19:22] AlphaOmega sh, is it a script? === awolfson_lunch is now known as awolfson [19:22] i know this is off-topic, but does anyone here know visual basic? === macsmisterrrrr is now known as macsmister [19:22] Akiraaa, sudo su - makes su useless. sudo -i instead. [19:23] MrChris: #ubuntu-offtopic [19:23] i created new user. when i run something with sudo i get: sudo: must be setuid root. any clues? [19:23] nsar: yes, why not? [19:23] tw34k1ng: Dolphin the KDE file manager, yes that works in Gnome as well. Also on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk they keep on going on about how great Nautilus Elementry is apparantly. [19:23] Hi, can someone help me with trouble shooting? I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an Asus UL30JT. After installing the restricted driver and rebooting I end up with just a black screen... === tien is now known as jove [19:23] tw34k1ng: not tried that second one, but people on that site say its good. Dolphin is nice :) [19:23] desktop edition? [19:24] Good evening everyone. [19:24] hello, does anyone install "Git" before ? [19:24] can not log on to my net work sever (synology) using ubuntu on a pendrive 10.04 [19:24] sebsebseb: ok [19:24] where does aptitude install applications? [19:24] tw34k1ng: however I also like Konqueror as a secondary browser instead of Firefox, and sometimes file manager. The former KDE default, before Dolphin. [19:24] what about Window Manager: metacity or gnome-wm? [19:24] I've got a fairly simple question- Due to (most likely) a kernel upgrade my Creative-X-FI (Platinum) soundcard no longer works. However it's discovered by lspci and the snd_ctxfi mod is loaded in lsmod.. [19:25] unop the thing about sudo -i (vs -s) is that it reads the /root/.profile which may not be desired [19:25] tw34k1ng: oh yeah now I remember, there was a recent entry on file managers, i'll get you the link [19:25] alsamixer also detects the soundcard, but pulseaudio doesn't seem to (That's the GDM core sound?) [19:25] thanks [19:25] hello, after running "yum install git", what should I do to get this running ? [19:25] how do I add root to the group sambashare [19:25] does anyone know why am0 I able to view and see and access my 2 linux boxes on the network through windows 7 but the 2 linux boxes cant see each other, but can see and access the win7 box? [19:26] jove yum is not supported here [19:26] tw34k1ng: blog entry [19:26] aaa: why not ? [19:26] jove: ubuntu does not use yum. [19:26] cgethycx: You're most likely not broadcasting netbios for the ubuntu hosts [19:26] AAA, errm, not if root's shell is bash. [19:26] how do i do that? [19:26] what ubuntu do for yum instead, Pici ? [19:27] Yo yo yo [19:27] jove: If you're using a different distro, you should be asking in their support channel. Otherwise you should be using apt-get or aptitude from a cli. [19:27] tw34k1ng: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/daily-5-5-alternative-file-managers.html [19:27] unop I'm just saying that if you have custom dotfile that you expect to work, they won't with root's profile. that's all [19:27] ty sebsebseb [19:27] I have a folder full of JPGs which I need to rotate 90 degrees to the right. Is there a quick way to do this through the command line? [19:27] AAA, a custom dot file in your own homedirectory? [19:27] Ejcweb: imagemagick or mogrify in a script [19:27] what does this error mean [19:28] DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered [19:28] tw34k1ng: No problem [19:28] Pici, what is the best syntax to get "Git" ? [19:28] ejcweb imagemagik [19:28] cgethycx: perhaps configure avahi differently [19:28] sendmail help please, I attempted to install mailutils and ssmtp which uses postfix, I assume, so I have attempted to reinstall sendmail. Once it is configured, how can I send the output from a crontab I am running, via an email, to an external email address ? [19:28] unop correct. if I have a bunch of stuff in my .bashrc and then I sudo -i, I no longer have those things in the sudo shell. where as with sudo -s I do [19:29] Nonetheless, do we have any experienced people with X-FI soundcards an 10.04? My Soundcard doesn't seem to work anymore. [19:29] jove: sudo apt-get install git-core [19:29] Pici, I want to have the package of "git" on ubuntu, what should i do ? [19:29] I am a noob are there any guides out there to configure avahi? [19:29] Ejcweb: for I in *.jpg do; imagemagic rotate "$i"; done ,something like that (ti just pulled that out of my head so WILL need tweaking. Consult the man pages for eaxats but it's close) [19:30] There should be plenty guides to configure avahi, however the configuration is rather easy in it's self. [19:30] What do you want seen anyway? A disk share? [19:30] sebsebseb: see it's possible with nautilus ttp://linuxcrunch.com/content/10-secrets-about-nautilus-file-manager http://linuxcrunch.com/sites/default/files/imagepicker/4/thumbs/background-test.pn [19:30] AAA, right, one's a login shell (-i) and you'd expect it not to touch your dotfiles, another's an escalation of your shell (with some changes) which you'd expect to source your dotfiles . [19:30] sebsebseb: http://linuxcrunch.com/content/10-secrets-about-nautilus-file-manager http://linuxcrunch.com/sites/default/files/imagepicker/4/thumbs/background-test.png [19:30] Pici, it worked...Thx alot Pici [19:30] jove: you're welcome. [19:30] AAA, though, most often, it's a login shell that's needed. [19:31] unop I guess it is just habit that I always use -s [19:31] Pici, in case if I want to install "git" in RHEL,,,what would be best for its syntax? [19:31] Someone knows why kaffeine play no sound while dragon player does ? What should I do to fix kaffeine ? (10.4) [19:31] sebsebseb: Just found out why it wasn't working... [19:31] tw34k1ng: Why? [19:31] yes I store music and video on one box to bee seen on all, but the 2 linux box cant see each other [19:31] sebsebseb: I was using List view [19:31] AAA, that can be dangerous .. but i guess you know that already. [19:31] it only works with Icons [19:31] Rosco: check the settings in each. Make sure they are using the same sound backend / whatever [19:32] cgethycx: you give way too less information. How do you share the disks, what protocol do you use [19:32] Are both of the boxes using the same protocols [19:32] (NFS. Samba?) [19:32] tw34k1ng: right ok then I guess [19:32] unop: there's nothing wrong with sudo -s, and you're just arguing to argue at this point. [19:32] Are they allowed to share from your firewall? [19:32] yep [19:33] unop so can irc'n as root, but I see that all day long =p [19:33] Pici, around ? [19:33] quit [19:33] sipior, i didn't say anything was wrong with it -- you're building a strawman here :) [19:34] Unop: they'll see :) [19:34] Howdy [19:34] hey [19:34] tw34k1ng: thanks for 10 secrets link, I guess [19:34] i have just installed ubuntu 10.04 on both machines. I did standard installs on both box. I have no knowledge of linux as I am trying to make the move from windows. so I can not tell you how I share the disks. [19:34] !hi | christian [19:34] :P [19:34] christian: 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! === christian is now known as Guest80696 [19:34] unop: "that can be dangerous .. but i guess you know that already." [19:34] sipior, yes? [19:34] jove: I don't know how to install it in rhel, you should ask their support: #rhel [19:35] cgethycx: you don't share disks. You share folders [19:35] Hmmm I failed to identify in time, oh well. [19:35] alright Pici...thx [19:35] cgethycx: There are ways to share between them. [19:35] !samba | cgethycx [19:35] cgethycx: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [19:35] Sooooooo who loves Newbies? [19:35] cgethycx: SCP, Samba, that kind of stuff [19:35] To hug and squeeze? [19:35] cgethycx: also since your new well [19:36] actiopnparsnip: There is almost no settings available in kaffeine. I think it rely entirely on KDE. I've tried to remove my .kde.....kaffeine folder, but it doesn't change anything [19:36] !manual | cgethycx [19:36] cgethycx: 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/ [19:36] You're missing the point: cgethycx is able to see the linux box with windows, and windows the two linux boxes; but the two linux boxes can't see oneanother [19:36] cgethycx: sudo apt-get install samba ,then you can use nautilus to share folders in the OS [19:36] I am not haveing issues sharing to a windows box [19:36] Guest80696 whatcha got? [19:36] cgethycx: Samba can also be used to share files between Linux distros [19:36] sebsebseb: globally spamming manuals won't help someone, It's about as annoying as never an answer to a question [19:36] cgethycx: can they ping each other? [19:37] Is there a magic command line to restart the sound system in 10.4 with kde ? [19:37] P67: well if they really are new, that will be useful [19:37] P67: just probably not quite for the issue they are having at the moment [19:37] I apreciate the guide for everyday tasks but that is not my problem [19:37] sebsebseb: what's the point for stating the obvious then? [19:37] Hmm [19:37] In Synaptic, when I choose origin on the left hand side, it doesn't show the GetDeb repository I'm using. It shows other repositories that I use. any help? [19:37] Call me Christian [19:37] What could be wrong with a server box if it's unable to ping or connect to a remote HTTP address, but it can be SSH'd into from the LAN? [19:37] Can I use DOSBOX to run windows 95 games? [19:37] Rosco_: killall pulseaudio; rm -r $HOME/.pulse* ,then press ALT+F2, type: pulseaudio ,press enter [19:37] hi! | Guest80696 [19:37] elliot_: you can install DOSBOX [19:38] !hi | Guest80696 [19:38] Guest80696: 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! [19:38] yes they can ping and i have sort of successfully done a remote desktop [19:38] !scp | cgethycx [19:38] cgethycx: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [19:38] elliot_: some reuire windows to run. You can install win95 in dosbox [19:38] I have installed it I booted one of my WIN95 games it knows it is there i am just not sure how to boot it [19:38] how to install the open source ati drivers in 10.04? [19:38] between the 2 linux boxes [19:38] Lol, seriously [19:38] Bookman, they come installed by default [19:39] Elliot_: dosbox file.exe [19:39] P67: I mentioned SCP earlier to them [19:39] Daekdroom, oh, then they just don't work? [19:39] Be right back. [19:39] Bookman, what's your videocard? [19:39] Bookman: they are part of the default install [19:39] hi guys [19:39] Daekdroom, xpress200 [19:39] It's just funny, i'll shut up. sebseb. [19:39] Bookman, I have the very same and they work fine [19:40] I dont want to just copy files. I want to be able to view the folders and open, play or whatever i need to do from one box to the other [19:40] @ActionParsnip thanks [19:40] coming from arch linux.... whats up with u guys [19:40] Either way, Any experienced folk around whom had ever faced alsamixer working properly and pulseaudio apparently not in 10.04? [19:40] Daekdroom, Ok, thanks. [19:40] Okay, hopefully my name will stay this time. [19:40] P67: if not I might get the bot to send you random factoids :D except then I really woudn't be using the bot properly, so nah [19:40] actiopnparsnip: thanks, but nothing helps, I will have to watch the match on windows in low quality. :( [19:40] русские [19:40] P67: whatever distro I choose and whatever is default has always worked flawlessly here [19:40] For some particular reason my audio device (x-fi) is being detected by alsamixer. But not the GUI [19:40] I want to mount a folder from one linux box on the other ? === cypher is now known as Guest90491 [19:41] Akiraaa: dns not working. can the server ping a fixed ip address? 8.8.8.8 for example [19:41] Yes, however the default seems to have bended over ActionParsnip [19:41] P67 is your gui set to alsa? [19:41] P67: bended over? [19:41] cgethycx: u need some help with that? [19:41] РУСКИЕ [19:41] please [19:41] sshfs breh [19:41] Does anybody use a Ubuntu on a mac or is there a special room for that? [19:42] the GUI (Sound Preferences) should be using pulseaudio as i recall [19:42] cgethycx: find guides on smbmount. They should also include details about adding them to /etc/fstab [19:42] EMTChristian: I do, but just ask your questions in this channel === JPP is now known as JPP|busy [19:42] Anyone ever here of a system that requires ONLY ECC ram? Or is ecc and non-ecc pretty much supported by all systems, just never mix and match. [19:42] I have a lot of questions. [19:42] !away > JPP|busy [19:42] JPP|busy, please see my private message [19:42] #ubuntu.ru [19:42] P67 I'd try and set it to alsa and see what happens [19:42] ActionParsnip: Yes. To state it less vulgarly.. starts with an f and ends with what most likely every american knows :) [19:43] Could someone please tell me the name of the ati open source driver? I need to confirm it is installed [19:43] P67: what sound card do you use? [19:43] I am installing windows 98 in VirtualBox will I then be able to boot it? === JPP|busy is now known as JPP [19:43] elliot_: yes [19:43] thune3: it can't ping any address outside the LAN, I tried 72.125.87.99 (google.com). When I try "ping www.google.com" I get a response: "ping 72.125.87.99 56(84) bytes of data" -- so there is a DNS resolve going on (I set the DNS servers to OpenDNS in /etc/resolv.conf) [19:43] woop [19:43] elliot_: as long as your computer has enough RAM and such [19:43] X-Fi platinum (creative). However the kernel modules are available and active [19:43] I have an Ati Radeon HD 4870 graphics card. It has a DVI slot and a Mini port slot for the monitors. I want to use both of them. [19:43] elliot_: oh yeah and keep it offline :) for security reasons, 98 hasn't been supported by Microsoft for years [19:43] thune: it's just that there is no reply (100% packet loss) [19:43] PCI device is being found aswell [19:43] Bookman: dpkg -l | grep ati ,should find xserver-xorg-video-ati or something very similar [19:43] thune3 ^^^ [19:44] Akiraaa is your netmask and gateway set properly? [19:44] P67: yeah thought it was going to be some creative rubbish. Those things are a pain in the ass [19:44] I think so. WIn98 can't take up that much RAM...yeah I know :D They are dropping support for XP as well lol [19:44] elliot_: also I think Wine can run most 98 programs these days actsualley [19:44] Bookman: the actual driver is in xserver-xorg-video-radeon, but -video-ati depends on it [19:44] Elliot_: yeah in 2014 so its a while away yet [19:45] ActionParsnip: They indeed are, however it's strange that it had worked just fine. Is being detected by alsamixer (CLI wise). But in 10.04 in the GUI Sound Preferences no devices are being found anymore [19:45] elliot_: was going to be April this year, but got extended to April 2014, and they want business to leave in 2012 by the latest [19:45] In Synaptic, when I choose origin on the left hand side, it doesn't show the GetDeb repository I'm using.

[19:48] M4rotku: it should work either way: But it depends on your setup and your bootloader [19:48] M4rotku, Ubuntu won't mind. When the installer installs the GRUB bootloader it will be set up to load the OS from the partition you install it on. [19:48] ejcweb: #bash would be the best place to ask. [19:48] might need to be placed in an MBR after all for your system M4rotku [19:48] crdlb, and yet synaptic says it is installed.....this really is a mess! [19:48] Hi! [19:48] ejcweb: I think the ; goes before do [19:48] Is there any player that supports .img-files? [19:48] Or do I really have to burn it on a CD first?

I want to be able to read/write to any files on a particular folder on my computer. I am the only user, its my computer. What is the best way to alter the permissions so that I can do what I want? [20:00] M4rotku, yes, I think so [20:00] Ubottu I'm looking at that site now. [20:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:00] lol @ EMTChristian ;-) [20:01] Heh [20:01] EMTChristian: System>Admin....>Hardware drivers should have an option to automatically install the ati drivers ... [20:01] brb [20:01] Hmmm I don't have a system/admin/hardware drivers option [20:01] PCTchat: which files ? [20:02] well, I want to use apache web server, so its like user/www [20:02] but I don't have permissions [20:02] I don't want to use the shell everytime I want to alter a file [20:02] !permissions [20:02] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [20:03] hi there, at the moment i'm having a problem of popping noises every time i record something, regardless of the application. It pops at the beginning and end of the recorded content. [20:03] just fyi, vu1kan, I'm back [20:03] var/www [20:03] Sir_HaL> deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps [20:03] jmoey ~ that might be an artifact of the mic being turned on and off [20:03] you can use one of the media editors to remove that .5 sec [20:03] that should fix your issue [20:03] crdlb, http://pastebin.ca/1885267 [20:03] Is there anyway to use the Synaptic package manager to get the hardware drivers option? [20:04] vu1kan, yes that is what I have. Plus a line that's the same that says games. both lines are checked. [20:04] My goal is to get a ATI Radeon HD 4870 card with a Dvi port and Mini port working with two monitors. [20:04] @pgpkeys: it happens regardless of whether a mic is attached. the quality is good but it can be really annoying with a pop at the beginning and end [20:04] hmm... [20:05] hello [20:05] hi, i installed bootchart. after uninstalling it (aptitude) i still see some bootchart processes being terminated during boot up [20:05] EMTChristian: you are in xubuntu ? or kubuntu ? [20:05] Hello. [20:05] how can i fix this (completely remove bootchart)? [20:05] Just Ubuntu as far as I know. [20:06] Benkinooby: sudo aptitude purge bootchart ? [20:06] Bookman: so what happens if you 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon' ? [20:06] May Anybody help me to fix network erro on Empathy? [20:06] can anyone help me with a issue w/ resuming after hibernation [20:06] After installing the new ooo 3.2 the font looks messed up heres a picture http://yfrog.com/5doookyp [20:06] EMTChristian: then "system>administration>hardware drivers" has to be there [20:06] Sir_Hal did you try the refresh option? [20:06] crdlb, but synaptic says it is already installed [20:06] M3nt0r: what is the issue [20:06] I would love to tell you that it is. [20:07] Bookman: what about xserver-xorg-video-ati ? X seems to be trying to use that wrapper [20:07] Empathy don't connect live id with Empathy [20:07] the whole dropdown stuff looks like this [20:07] http://yfrog.com/5doookyp [20:07] erUSUL, thx. it did "something"... let me see the result.... i'll be back ;) [20:07] vu1kan, it's also listed [uncommented] in my /etc/apt/sources.list file [20:07] EMTChristian: do « alt + f2 » in the dialog type « gksudo jacky-gtk » press the run button [20:08] Sir_Hal ctrl + r , or edit>reload package info...if that doesn't do it, it's beyond my noobish knowladge [20:08] is there a font missing or why is it not correct displayed? [20:08] Sir_HaL did you apt-get update after making changes to your sources.list? [20:08] vu1kan, yes, I've hit reload in synaptic and have done a sudo apt-get update & upgrade in cli [20:08] #francogrid [20:09] I left win98 intalling went off and it did not work [20:09] Sir_HaL and it never complains about missing files when you update? [20:09] crdlb, It installed it. I assume I have to restart? === M3nt0r is now known as rodolfols [20:09] VOTERING! [20:09] AAA, I cannot find programs (via synaptic or apt-get) that should be in those repositories. I tried with "man2dvd" and it only comes up with "man2html" [20:10] JPP, what if sda is about to crash? that is why I am installing ubuntu on my external, until i can buy a new internal [20:10] !find man2dvd === rodolfols is now known as register [20:10] Package/file man2dvd does not exist in lucid [20:10] Sir_HaL: the bot does not lie === register is now known as Guest69135 [20:10] yeah i'm finding a LOT of packages that are referred to in 'suggested' entries but not in apt-cache [20:10] M4rotku, im not sure. Grub should be installed to the root of the external, not sda. My bad [20:10] vu1kan, thanks for your help. [20:11] Sir_HaL I've never heard of man2dvd. what docs are you using to add that repo? [20:11] I did the jacky-gtk and it first asked me for my password and then went to a new line in the terminal [20:11] AAA i haven't changed my sources.list. all i've done is view it as a regular user. And there are no errors when doing updates. [20:11] Hi, my Lucid hangs at boot 'til few days... After pressing ctrl+alt+del and rebboting all goes well [20:12] !list [20:12] 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 » [20:12] Sir_HaL aha, ok. then you'll need to find out what repo it is in and add it. it is not in the default 10.4 repo. [20:12] JPP, so sdb1 or sdb in general? if I write it to either, would it interfere with the data i have on sdb1? 'cause that's all of my backed up stuff [20:12] Sir_HaL: man2dvd? you meant manDVD? [20:12] you got CTL ALT DEL to work from the gui?? [20:12] M4rotku, I would say sdb. but I can't guarantee that data is safe [20:12] 9still trying to find where the hell that's trapped at) [20:12] sorry not man2dvd it's 2mandvd but it's still not finding it [20:12] JPP, ok, I'll back it up then, thank you very much [20:12] !find mandvd [20:12] Found: mandvd [20:12] :) [20:12] !info mandvd [20:12] mandvd (source: mandvd): simple Video DVD creator.

Maybe when I was deactivating Nvidia stuff I accidentily got rid of it? [20:15] Sir_HaL i just put getdeb into my sources.list through software sources, and 2mandvd showed up once i refreshed synaptic [20:15] is it possible to bind button XF86AudioPlay to a Wine application? Spotify in this case. [20:15] Anyone can help me with this problem? http://yfrog.com/5doookyp [20:15] how do i turn off sound effects for when buttons pop up or are clicked? system/preferences/sound just gives me a 'waiting for sound system' window. [20:15] I have an issue with Rhythmbox and LIRC [20:15] Elliot_: you will need to mount a folder as the "c drive" then mount the win98 cd as the "d drive" [20:16] i know this isn't the topic but if someone could please help, I cna't get sound to work on my system and can't find any help on forums that work at all. no sound makes multimedia worthless if I can't fix it I am reverting back to Mint [20:16] Anytime I press a button on my LIRC remote Rhythmbox crashes [20:16] Ah it is installing now :S [20:16] Sir_HaL add this to your sources.list and you can apt-get it :: deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps [20:16] crdlb, ok, restarted.....

[20:17] yea, but I'm not using it at the time [20:17] oh ok [20:17] i see === TannerF is now known as TannerF[AFK] [20:17] fallore i think so [20:18] AAA what would be the authentication key for this? [20:18] brandon__: if you run xev in terminal, do you see events? Have you configured them in the keyboard shortcuts? === nehyx is now known as nehyx_ === nehyx_ is now known as nehyx [20:18] hi all [20:18] Sir_HaL not sure. you can either a) skip it or b) google for it. [20:18] ActionParsnip: i think he's using the rythmbox plugin bro [20:18] fallore: yes. Same thing. Just in cli instead [20:19] Sir_HaL by skip it, I mean skip the auth check [20:19] Aut0ExeC: gotcha [20:19] ActionParsnip: xev wouldn't help [20:19] :) [20:19] what do I do with xev? [20:19] I have a problem here with 10.04. It suddenly (after a kernel update some time back) decided to stop detecting my audio devices, giving me no sound and only a "Dummy Output" in my Sound preferences [20:19] nevermind that [20:19] ur using lirc plugin right? [20:19] it works occasionally though, so I just find myself rebooting until it works [20:19] brandon__: it shows tehe codes for any x inputs [20:19] Bookman: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log again [20:19] yeah [20:19] ok ok [20:19] also, when the audio isnt detected, I cant restart or shutdown normally, I have to do use sudo shutdown -r now [20:19] yeah so might be a plugin issues bro [20:20] Can I mount the win98 folders after it has installed? [20:20] any ideas? [20:20] I think it is [20:20] anyone run Spotify in Wine with a media keyboard? I have Logitech Ultra Flat X... I can't get the play/pause button to work. But it works in Rythmbox. [20:20] brandon__: try without the plugin and define the keypresses as events in gnome instead [20:20] but what do I do? [20:20] Untouchab1e: What happens if you try to shutdown normally? [20:20] how do I do that? [20:20] Vooloo: i'd ask in wine [20:20] nehyx: it throws me back to the login screen [20:20] elliot_ yes, you can mount fat32 on ubuntu [20:20] !shortcut | brandon__ [20:20] brandon__: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [20:20] :D [20:21] AAA trying that now [20:21] brandon__: treat it like multimedia keys on a fancy keyboard [20:21] I hope I have enough RAM I did the compact install to save space [20:21] thanks [20:21] crdlb, http://pastebin.ca/1885284 [20:21] elliot_: if you have little ram, use xfce or lxde instead of gnome or kde. Much lighter and much faster [20:22] Untouchab1e: Are you using pulseaudio? === Prof_BiG_BanG is now known as prof_away [20:22] Bookman: looks good to me === rodolfols is now known as M3nt0r [20:22] Sir_HaL aha. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A8A515F046D7E7CF [20:22] elliot_: swapfile size?

[20:23] AAA, Vu1kin thanks [20:23] that worked [20:23] Sir_HaL wtg! [20:23] hrmm having serious troubles contacting getdeb.net [20:23] Untouchab1e: Try installing this >> sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio [20:23] Bookman: what isn't, exactly? [20:23] I am not sure what the swapfile ram is [20:23] pgpkeys I read it was down, and the mirror is working [20:23] elliot_: hmmmmm [20:23] elliot_: omg bro [20:24] should like 2 times more than the memory that u have installed [20:24] not seeing the mirror list [20:24] nehyx: will try, but again, audio worked just fine until a certain kernel related update.. tried removing the update but the issue was still there though [20:24] I have I have like 2GB [20:24] oh ok [20:24] ur good [20:24] :P [20:24] :) [20:24] Some days streaming tv from my server works just fine and some nights it wants to buffer every 3 sec.

All ubuntu programs are telling me that it is full, but I have only 1.8 or 8 gigs used up. [20:24] ahh its on the sponsors page [20:25] crdlb, when I restarted, my windows still have to title bar or close/minimize/window buttons. I cannot move them. I have to go to System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>Extra to turn them on. [20:25] Aut0ExeC: not for >2gb ram. You can use 1xram then. If you have lots of ram then it can be omitted completely [20:25] crdlb, and no compiz [20:25] k [20:25] This laptop is old so it gets confused over basic things [20:25] Bookman: add an entry in startup items to run: compiz --replace [20:26] thanks AAA [20:27] ooo, doesn't like http://www.internap.com/ [20:27] Elliot_: puppy is massively light and will run well on low end systems [20:27] Yeah I have used xubuntu which was good my low end [20:28] pgpkeys glad to help [20:28] Elliot_: lubuntu is a little lighter, less bloat === M3nt0r is now known as rodolfols [20:28] hey all === webpigeon is now known as Guest64135 [20:29] It is copying win98 files to my PC then it says it will restart my PC but how do I make it boot win98 and not ubuntu [20:29] bios?

[20:29] aaa ~ its just a mirror like deb http://www.pebosi.net/ubuntu lucid-debs apps right? [20:29] Elliot_: let it play. It won't reboot you pc === Guest64135 is now known as webpigeon [20:29] ubuntu 10.04 is soo nice omg [20:29] how do I get my ipod to work with ubuntu 10.04? [20:29] pgpkeys can't answer that [20:29] keytouch doesn't appear to show my remote in the editor [20:29] jessica_: plug n play [20:29] how do i upgrade my ubuntu to 10.4 using cd [20:29] !pod | jessica_ [20:30] !ipod [20:30] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [20:30] cause it's telling me it can't find the Packages.gz for ANY of the mirrors using that line (just swapping out the http://www.*.*/ubuntu) [20:30] It did once before. It says the next step is reboot [20:30] Hi. I am using an intel macbook pro. I have always been a linux user before receiving this mac and am thinking about installing ubuntu 10.04 on it. A guy once told me that since the hardware specs for macbooks aren't shared by apple, coders have a hard time figuring out every aspect that the apple hardware can do. He says that heat problems and battery problems are issues that I will run into and that could even damage my laptop. Is this true? Would you guys reco [20:30] load with rythmbox [20:30] !upgrade | piero [20:30] piero: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:30] Piero: you must use the alternate iso [20:30] how do i do that [20:31] pgpkeys ah, add another line just like the first but suffix -src so deb-src [20:31] I have been there, but the site does not answer my question. [20:31] pgpkeys copy the line I mean, you'll see other entries with the deb-src. follow that syntax [20:32] rsr: no, it's not [20:32] So when it finishes copying files to my computer what should I do? [20:32] yeah i did [20:32] err, so it's not pushing deb lines? [20:32] pgpkeys apt-get update and you should be good [20:32] just deb-src? [20:32] crdlb, nope, just restarted and I have to go through the whole System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>Extra thing to be able to use my system [20:32] Has KVM setup changed in LTS 10.04 since Ubuntu 9.04 ( http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-9.10 ) [20:33] pgpkeys apt needs the deb-src directories to pull source from repo's [20:33] s/directories/directive [20:33] xangua: It is not recommended? running on the macbook ? [20:33] yeah I know that. (i know what deb and deb-src do :-) ) but its not finding deb lines for the actual packages rather than just src build packages [20:34] So when it finishes copying files to my computer what should I do? ahh dude I am :S lol [20:34] Is there a way to logout from command-line without closing irssi? [20:34] My 9.10 laptop has only 400MB left in the root partition, I want to upgrade to 10.04 but am afraid it'll fill up the partition, any ideas? [20:34] aaa i'm kinda glad sir hal was asking that, i figured out why playdeb wasn't working for me [20:34] pgpkeys ok. then I don't know what else to tell you other than seek support from the mirror owners [20:34] want to upgrade ubuntu 10.4 from cd [20:35] vu1kan knowing is half the battle ;) [20:35] Bookman: Is this an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04? [20:35] deb lines get the prebuilt binary packages, deb-src gets everything used to make those. it sjust acting like it's not a repository at all. [20:35] AAA np. thanks anyways [20:35] soreau, yup [20:35] Bookman: does compiz work when you do that? [20:35] crdlb, nope [20:35] pgpkeys: I see no pacakges.gz file on those mirrors, sounds like something is messed up. [20:36] Bookman: Ok, you need to start compiz, close all open application windows and save your session. I think it's somewhere in sys>prefs>startup>options [20:36] pici ~ hrmm thought apt was designed to drop back to the uncompressed if the *.gz didn't exist on the mirrors [20:36] is there some way to set the default router to use (i.e. route add default gw [ipaddr]) for an ethernet port that is not up on startup? [20:36] pgpkeys: Well, I don't see a plain 'Packages' file either. [20:36] ok\ [20:36] henk22 [20:36] something definitely messed on the mirrors then [20:36] pici ~ thanks [20:37] Bookman: Startup Applications>Options tab Remember Currently Running Applications [20:37] So when it finishes copying files to my computer what should I do? ahh dude I am :S lol hmm [20:37] crdlb: This is because compiz.real gets saved so it tries to start that and fails [20:37] soreau, but compiz is not running now [20:37] elliot_: What are you asking about? [20:37] Bookman: Is compiz no working at all? [20:37] I am installing Win98 on my PC [20:37] soreau, no [20:38] elliot_: win98?? [20:38] omg dude [20:38] Bookman: Can you pastebin the output of 'compiz --replace' from your terminal? [20:38] elliot_: Okay... and what exactly does that have to do with Ubuntu?> [20:38] elliot_: shoot me now [20:38] I needed help with VirtualBox [20:38] elliot_: So you're installing Win98 in virtualbox?

[20:39] :P [20:39] lol exactly [20:39] elliot_: Well, virtualbox's support channel is in #vbox, if you have questions about it, that would be the best place to seek answers. [20:39] dos? [20:39] msdos 6.22? [20:39] Aut0ExeC, Please stop.

[20:42] Bookman: What does 'which gtk-window-decorator' show? [20:43] yes [20:43] aj149: what's your IP, and what's the routers ? [20:44] soreau, I don't know what you mean [20:44] Does anyone use that ubuntu studio? [20:44] the computers IP is 192.168.1.100 [20:44] Bookman: Type 'which gtk-window-decorator' without tick marks in your terminal. It's a command [20:44] and I dont know what you mean by the routers ip [20:44] elliot_: yes, a lot of people do. do you have a specific question? [20:45] aj149: so how are you pinging it if you don't know what the routers IP address is [20:45] soreau, nothing is output [20:45] I was pinging 192.168.1.1 [20:45] Bookman: Nothing?? [20:45] <^damaranzig^> I was wondering whether clamscan installed on my Kubuntu 9.04 would be able to scan my ntfs drives as well ? [20:45] aj149: why if you don't know if that's the ip address ? [20:45] soreau, nothing [20:45] new line [20:45] aj149 does $ route -n show a and address, and netmask and a gateway? [20:45] Bookman: Does /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator exist? [20:45] ^damaranzig^: it should scan just fine [20:46] soreau, nope [20:46] Bookman: Reinstall compiz-gnome package and check again [20:46] ^damaranzig^: ubuntu natively recognizes ntfs [20:47] no route -n shows nothing [20:47] aj149: you need to find your routers IP address first of all, so you know there is a valid IP address to test with [20:47] aj149: you also need to make sure there is no firewall running/blocking you on the router [20:47] aj149 you can always bring your network up something like this (if the driver is working) :: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up && route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [20:48] aj149 actually && sudo route..... [20:48] <^damaranzig^> PC_Muze: is the clamscan virus database for ubuntu restricted to known ubuntu viruses ? or is it for windoze viruses as well ? [20:49] ikonia are you wanting their wan ip?

I need the bash commandline to be able to do that :) [20:58] MDCCCX: 32bit with the 64 bit wrapper is now really the only way [20:58] hey i cant watch realtime streaming videos from sites like: http://globoesporte.globo.com/temporeal/futebol/17-06-2010/franca-mexico/ in firefox, how can i solve that?

[20:59] aj149: how do you know eth0 is running [20:59] MDCCCX: yes, 64bit is not in the repos [20:59] sudo apt-get purge only removes 5 mb ...the program installed used 11 mb....so i ask again, how can i completely remove a program and all the stuff it installed? [20:59] hello. every time I start my system, it takes pretty long (around 15-20 seconds) to connect to the wireless network. Could this be caused by my wireless card or is it because of the software? also, is there any way to speed this up a bit? [20:59] <^damaranzig^> is network manager >>> network-manager-kde? i cant find using "which" or "whereis" :( [20:59] ifconfig eth0 comes back with my IP [20:59] cannonfodder: if optional dependencies are installed, or is use by other software, they won't get removed [20:59] cannonfodder: the rest is a dependency i guess [20:59] aj149: that doesn't mean it's up [20:59] alright thanks [20:59] aj149: what does ethtool eth0 show ? [21:00] ^damaranzig^: network-manager-kde or network-manager-gnome is just the applet to interacte with network-manager [21:00] hey you guys....is there a simple command to check if my wireless card can use promiscuous mode? [21:00] cannonfodder: Do the remove as you said, then run this: apt-get autoremove [21:00] thanks [21:00] anybody knows how to use envyng? [21:00] aj149: "ifconfig" without any parameter. if eth0 is shown, it's up [21:00] Could somone look at this please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9474229 tldr; sudo aplay will play audio, but defualt session will not. only elevated commands will display hardware. === patrick is now known as Guest75740 [21:01] llutz: no it's not [21:01] llutz: that means nothing at all [21:01] ifconfig will tell you if it's administratively up. you can use mii-tool or ethtool to determine if the hardware actually sees a connection. [21:01] ikonia: it is, only devicename added or -a lists interfaces which are down [21:01] llutz: no it doesn't [21:01] aj149 please. check $ route -n <-- does it show your gateway? 192.168.1.1 ? [21:02] ikonia: then you have a different ifconfig as i have [21:02] llutz: no [21:02] -n farmer [21:02] ethtool is not installed and I am not currently able to download it, but if I run ifconfig with no params it only shows loopback not eth0 [21:02] aj149: try mii-tool ? [21:02] aj149: that doesn't mean anything [21:03] ikonia Heebie he says he can ping localhost, the iface is up [21:03] route -n has nothing set for gateway [21:03] If ifconfig shows only the loopback then eth0 is either non-existant (no driver module installed) or it is administratively down. [21:03] AAA: localhost will ping lo [21:03] please i need a help with instalation of my grafic card!!1 [21:03] aj149 bing! that is your problem. I gave you a command to fix that a while back [21:03] AAA: no - that only means lo is up [21:03] Pinging localhost happens entirely on the loopback adapter.. and the loopback adapter is up. [21:04] once i do a "sudo ifconfig eth0 -promisc" what are some symptoms to show that my wireless card even entered this state? i dont know if my wireless card supports such a mode...i ran wireshark and no packets were picked up, so i assume it doesnt work on my wireless card??? [21:04] Shouldn't a wireless interface show up as ath0 instead of eth0? [21:04] cannonfodder: you should see that event in /var/log/syslog [21:04] well i pasted that but yes i did it on my wireless [21:04] Heebie: different devices show up with different names [21:04] mii-tool says not Mii interfaces found [21:05] aj149: what command did you run exactly [21:05] aj149: If mii-tool says no interfaces found, then there is no kernel module running that understands your hardware. [21:05] thanks [21:05] mii-tool [21:05] aj149: sudo mii-tools eth0 [21:06] sudo mii-tools eth0 comes back with failed invalid argument [21:07] aj149: there is something very wrong with your system [21:07] aj149: what version of ubuntu is this ? [21:07] aj149: mii-tool should come back with errors.. there is no physical interface running on your system. (That's what it said before.) Before it will say anything else.. a kernel module needs to be installed that understands your hardware. [21:07] Heebie: invalid argument is not expected though [21:07] Ubuntu server 10.04 [21:07] ok i checked the log but didnt see anything...im talking about "sudo ifconfig wlan0 -promisc" there was nothing output after i entered that command so i really dont know if it worked or not...i checked the logs but couldnt seem to find anything relating to it? can someone tell me what im doing wrong? or if it worked? or if my card isnt supported?

[21:26] Heebie: sudo adduser admin gave me output about adding the user to the group root. i still get: sudo: must be setuid root when trying to run stuff with sudo. [21:26] afj149: If you see nothing, do an lsmod | grep -i rtl [21:26] owen1: did you change the permissions of the sudo binary? [21:26] owen1: Did you look at the ownership and permissions on the sudo executable? [21:26] hey, I'm having trouble with a Onda MSA405HS modem 3g [21:27] ugh, why do my backgrounds keep vanishing from the backgrounds tab in appearance settings.. I add them, use them but later on the ones not in use are not there anymore. [21:27] Heebie: I have free drivers installed, but it's as if the system doesn't recognize them. [21:27] exit [21:27] owen1: you have to set suid-root on sudo to make it working again. use recovery-mode or a live cd to do that [21:28] daffydack: Are the backgrounds you're using on a removable drive like a USB stick or external? [21:28] Heebie: there is no error message leading me to believe it was successful [21:28] vladimirm: I'm not sure. [21:29] aj149: OK.. if it appears successful, then check lsmod (lsmod | grep -i 8139 .. I made a boo-boo before) [21:29] vladimirm: what does your xorg.conf look like? [21:29] aj149: If that shows you something.. then try mii-tool again. [21:29] vladimirm: does it say driver "radeon" ? [21:29] mgolisch: Heebie: ls -l /usr/bin/sudo shows me: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root is that what u mean?

[21:31] he needs to do it from recovery [21:31] hola [21:31] Yeah, you guys are probably right.. he probably does have to boot off a CD-Image. [21:31] Heebie: so sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo will not helpL [21:31] ? [21:31] no, just recovery shell from the grub menu [21:31] it say driver "ati" [21:31] i also tried driver "radeon" [21:31] it doesn't help [21:32] also - driver "vesa" -> same thing [21:32] owen1: It will be helpful, but it might not be able to run without booting off of a CD image.. because you can't seem to execute sudo commands. [21:32] vladimirm: you should start x11 and see what your Xorg.0.log says [21:32] Does anyone know if running sudo crontab -e invokes the system crontab? [21:32] ikonia: it's amazon's EC2 instance. not sure how to insert CD... [21:32] vladimirm: it will probably tell whats wrong [21:32] he doesn't need to boot from a cd, just use the recovery shell [21:32] owen1: in that case contact amazon [21:32] owen1: they will offer support [21:32] vladmirm: It should probably say "radeon" and not "ati".. "ati" I think would be really OLD ATI graphics card drivers or the RIVA series and such. [21:32] biagidp: it uses roots crontab [21:33] mgolisch: i can start x without any problems [21:33] hey [21:33] mgolisch: i'm in gnome right now [21:33] llutz: The cron tutorial I'm reading through seemed to indicate that root/system crontab were the same in ubuntu. is this incorrect? [21:33] vladmirm: If you do a startx.. does it come up with low-resolution graphics? [21:33] mgolisch: it's just... it won't start it on boot time [21:33] no [21:33] biagidp: idk, sorryy [21:33] Heebie: your command helped! so what is the s i see here: -rwsr-xr-x [21:33] hi im looking for a tool to create flash animation for including them in my website [21:33] Heebie: it's 1280*1024 [21:33] any ideas? [21:34] try to retrieve the log from the boot startup of x11 [21:34] llutz: thanks anyhow! [21:34] biagidp: but you can check with "less /etc/crontab" and compare it to "sudo crontab -e" [21:34] Heebie: it changed from x to s [21:34] with* [21:34] how can i remove a application from the autostart (init.d); there was a short command for listing and adding/removing items, but i forget? [21:34] biagidp: I would think by system crontab, that would mean scripts run out of /etc/cron.daily/ , /etc/cron.monthly , /etc/cron.weekly/ , /etc/cron.hourly/ and /etc/cron.d whereas the root crontab would belong to the root user (crontab -e root) [21:34] owen1: If it changed from x to s.. that's probably fixed it. [21:35] Heebie: /etc/crontab is the system crontab file [21:35] if I have a secondary machine on a shared Internet connection, how do I access it via the main, WAN-connected box? (this is for VNC) [21:35] Heebie: yes, but what does it mean? [21:35] buttons840, update-rc.d= [21:35] ? [21:35] every user will be able to use sudo now? [21:35] omani, maybe [21:35] Heebie: I'm seeing that now. Thanks! [21:35] mgolishc: here's the log http://pastebin.org/337794 [21:35] =V [21:35] owen1: That command set the SUID bit. (Well. the "user sticky" bit really.. but in that instance..that's what it does.) Can you run sudo without the error now? [21:35] buttons840 there used to be update-init.rc not sure when that went away, but I don't see in on 10.4 [21:35] Heebie: head -1 /etc/crontab -> # /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab [21:36] Heebie: yes [21:36] owen1: Well, that seems to solve that. :) Whee! [21:36] Heebie: it's a production machine so i want to make sure it's secure and i know what i did. [21:36] how do i look up what wireless driver im using? [21:37] owen1: Well, if you want to make sure you know what you did, you want to make sure you turn on a lot of logging for sudo.. and you should avoid doing a sudo su - to get to a root shell. ;) [21:37] what i'm trying to do is stop asterisk from staring when i turn on my computer [21:37] aj149: Are you still there?

[21:40] buttons840 however, it looks like ubuntu is moving away from sys v :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [21:41] my girlfriend just started asking me about something : She said not being able to connect to wireless and getting harassed about configuring VPN or something. And apparently this happened upon upgrading to 10.04. I'm scratching my head here... I have no idea why VPN would ever get switched to such a strong default that it blocks you from enabling regular wireless. [21:41] Heebie: Yes I will give you the results as soon as the machine starts back up [21:41] !upstart | buttons840, AAA [21:41] buttons840, AAA: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:42] Airris: It might be nagging her because of an open network..and telling her to setup a VPN to protect her traffic?

[21:42] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:42] hi how to add readline support to ubuntu?

[21:43] *yawn* burning ubuntu live CDs at 2x write speed sure takes a while... [21:43] Heebie: I can ask but it sounds like there's more too it than that. I told her to go into network connections, disable any VPN boxes and just use regular wireless. And it's actually refusing to let her enable wireless -_- [21:43] Shapeshiftr: why? [21:43] if only my killdisk would feel like listening to me...

[21:44] xxoxx: libreadline-dev [21:44] xxoxx OK.. so readline-devel doesn't exist. Try doing an apt-cache search readline [21:44] the -dev debs are normall just for compiling agains [21:44] Heebie, ok [21:44] or just read what bastidrazor said ;) [21:44] even though I have a, like, 32x drive, ubuntu wanted to burn slower for some reason.

[21:45] can you do that? [21:45] Shapeshiftr: It could have sensed that the media you put into the drive wasn't 32x compatible.. or it could have tested it and found that it wans't entirely compatible with it's 32x writing mode. [21:45] Shapeshiftr: yup [21:45] noone burns anymore [21:45] burning is overrated [21:46] Shapeshiftr yes. gparted is a good way to go [21:46] waste of plastic [21:46] really..? [21:46] Shapeshiftr: Yes, you absolutely can.

[21:46] lol [21:46] omg [21:47] will it definitely recognize my usb drive? [21:47] yeah dude [21:47] Shapeshiftr: Most likely.. but not definitely. [21:47] thats up to ur bios [21:47] most modern pcs do [21:47] Aut0ExeC: you have been asked before to keep to the topic - ubuntu support [21:47] Hi all. When installing 10.04, I accidentally chose to mount an old partition as ext3, when it is in fact reiserfs. Despite the fact I chose not to format, it seems to have been lost. Any solutions? [21:48] wiijii: Have you tried changing the entry in the /etc/fstab file to change the type from ext3 to reiserfs? [21:48] Yes [21:48] No luck [21:48] It's a, erm *looks at guntbert's !language"*, suckish old HDD with XP SP1 on it and about 200mb of space left. [21:48] wiijii: What do you get for error messages.. and do you have reiserfstools installed? [21:48] It seems the installer created a new ext3 partition!? But that is surely ridiculous [21:49] Heebie: I get wrong fs type, bad superblock etc. [21:49] wiijii: If you just do a mount /dev/ /mnt what do you get? [21:49] wiijii: Not many people use reisferfs with Ubuntu, and Ext4 is the default file system for Ubuntu as of 9.10 [21:49] Heebie I've tried reiserfsck but it complains that there's no reiserfs. I tried with --rebuild-sb and it whinges after a while about the journal maybe being corrupt [21:49] wait, correction, it doesn't even have windows on it, some .dlls were deleted by viruses... =/ [21:49] sebsebseb Yeah I've had this reiser partition for ages [21:49] it failed and got a.better.internet [21:50] Shapeshiftr: what is your problem and how can ubuntu help you resolve it ? [21:50] wiijii: It sounds to me like the installer probably saw that you chose ext3.. looked at that parition & thought "Gee, that's not ext3.. I had better format it" [21:50] ( a.b.i = system32 attacker) [21:50] Shapeshiftr: please state your problem [21:50] wiijii just a wild guess but. have you tried changing the partiion type back to reiser with cfdisk or the like? [21:50] AAA no [21:50] Heebie That's what I'm afraid of... that's insane on the part of the installer though [21:51] Hello, My window manager is apparently not working after updating. please help [21:51] wiijii: and unfortunately.. it's pretty damned near impossible to recover stuff from reiserfs without spending tons of time, or tons of money, or both. [21:51] Heebie: lsmod results 8139cp 16602 0 [21:51] Ironreaper: What window manager are you using? [21:51] guntbert: i'm sick of you picking on me and i'm just trying to help... fuck your beat up cunt biotch... i dont have time or this [21:51] Heebie Even more unfortunately this partition is the /home I've preserved for about 5 years... [21:51] Metacity I believe [21:51] I have just installed BURG and on boot I am sent to a grub command prompt. I have tried to startup by using "linux /boot/vmlinuz..." method, but I get an "error:file not found" even though the ls command shows that it is there [21:51] basically, I'm trying to set up Ubuntu Server for web hosting, but my hard drive is not wanting to recognize my killdisk...erm, which isn't an Ubuntu LiveCd...shutting up now... [21:51] one that came standard [21:51] aj149: OK. do an rmmod 8139cp that's not doing anything. then do a modprobe 8139too [21:51] Dang... [21:51] wiijii: Been there.. done that.. it sucks. :( Backups dude! Backups! [21:52] Shapeshiftr: killdisk? [21:52] guntbert: heh, he can't even spell the curses [21:52] Heebie I know man. I had a note: 'Do backup after this install' [21:52] bastidrazor: please do not provoke [21:52] Damn [21:52] wiijii Oh man.. that note TOTALLY jinxed you! :/ [21:52] !language | wiijii [21:52] wiijii: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:52] so, for installing ubuntu server via a USB drive, I need a flash drive with nothing other than Ubuntu on it? [21:52] Sorry [21:52] Heebie Yeah it sure did [21:52] Shapeshiftr: you need a flash drive setup to boot the ubuntu installer [21:53] Heebie I've upgraded so many times.... sheeeesh [21:53] wiijii are you sure it formatted it to ext3 or just changed the type? [21:53] Heebie -- DOS harddrive formatter/eraser [21:53] AAA I'm not sure either way [21:53] ikonia, what do you mean? [21:53] Shapeshiftr: Why do you need that anyway? [21:53] Heebie: ok still no connection however [21:53] Heebie: something that's nothing to do with this channel [21:53] AAA Nor do I know how to check [21:53] Heebie neither of them worked [21:53] Shapeshiftr: you can format a drive with the Ubuntu installer [21:53] wiijii I think it is worth a shot, last chance, to try and change the label back [21:53] fatal error and could not find [21:53] Shapeshiftr: I mean you need a USB stick that's setup to boot the ubuntu install routine to install from it [21:53] AAA How d'you mean [21:53] to get rid of broken windows SP1 - system32, of course. [21:54] aj149: I know there's no connection.. nothing was using that 8139cp driver.. so try the 8139too driver and see if there's any difference. [21:54] AAA Via fdisk or some suich? [21:54] wiijii I mean use cfdisk to change the label back to reiser [21:54] ikonia: I think you might be right on that one! =) [21:54] would I need to do anything special to set it up like that, ikonia ? [21:54] AAA Worth a shot [21:54] !install | Shapeshiftr [21:54] Shapeshiftr: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [21:54] AAA: whats the problem ? [21:54] AAA: you want to format something to reiser ? [21:54] yeah, definitely worth trying to change the type first.. before giving up all your data. ;) [21:54] Heebie: I already tried that driver too [21:54] xray7224 wiijii has and ext3/reiser/installer issue [21:55] wiijii: whats the isssue [21:55] *issue [21:55] aj149: If it's a realtek.. one of those two drivers should work. Did you check your BIOS settings & make sure that the network card is set to turn on? (Or it is like a PCI card?) [21:55] xray7224 I had a Reiser partition. During install I chose NOT to format, but accidentally set to mount as Ext3. The installer appears to have made an executive decision to format the disk as Ext3 [21:55] I have a problem...My window manager is not working upon startup [21:56] wiijii: and your data's gone ? [21:56] xray7224 It seems that way [21:56] if so there is a utility you can run to get it back [21:56] just don't use the partition [21:56] wiijii: it will do if you tell it to "change" the file system [21:56] its command line [21:56] let me get you the instructions [21:56] Ironreaper: Have you tried logging in with a different session type from xdm? (or gdm..or kdm..whichever is installed) ? [21:56] thanks [21:57] ikonia I see where you're coming from but it's a bug in the installer I think [21:57] Heebie: It is on board and it is turned on, I had this problem last time I restarted to but it mysteriously fixed itself before I did anything. I don't know if that means anything to you or not. [21:57] wiijii: I don't think it is [21:57] if you tell the installer to leave a partition and it doesn't then its a bug [21:57] Thats one thing to try, It fixes itself when I go to appearances and I set the visual effect to Normal [21:58] ikonia Fair enough [21:58] xray7224: if you tell it to use the file system as a specific file system type and it's not, it has no choice but to format it [21:58] ikonia But considering the 'format' option was NOT chosen, it should not have formatted === iElijah is now known as starcoder [21:58] wiijii: considering you told it to use the drive as ext3 - it had no choice [21:58] wiijii: if im honest you should have told it not to do anything at all with it and add it to fstab after [21:58] ikonia It doesn't make 'choices' [21:58] aj149: Have you powered off the thing and left it for a while? Alternately.. have you booted into Windows.. then booted into linux afterwards? [21:59] wiijii: you made the choice and told it to use it as ext3 [21:59] it oebyed [21:59] xray7224 True [21:59] obeyed [21:59] ikonia I disagree. In that case why give the option to format? [21:59] agh, i can't remember what this damn tool is called [21:59] hi all [21:59] wiijii can you mount it as ext3? [21:59] AAA Yes but I have no write access [21:59] wiijii: so you can format partitions if you want to, you told it to change the file system - which is in essense a format [21:59] hi, does https://launchpad.net/builders oops for you too? [22:00] hey guys anyone using back track 4 [22:00] ikonia Not really - I chose the *mount point* to be ext3 [22:00] wiijii: Is there anything THERE if you mount as ext3? [22:00] small question.. I installed ubuntu with one HD.. and would like to create a software raid 1 with a second I just installed.. is that possible? [22:00] root_: all the people in #backtrack-linux are [22:00] wiijii mount -orw /dev/sdX /mnt/point doesn't work either? [22:00] Heebie Just lost+found [22:00] wiijii: there is no such option in the installer [22:00] hi, how can i start a program from a different location? when i cd to the programms folder and the run it it works. when i do it from an other location, e.g. / it won't work and i get an errormessage, that an other file in the same directory can not be found [22:00] wiijii: you don't chose a mount point as ext3 [22:00] do they have there one channel on here ? [22:00] Heebie: It sat turned off over night, and I can try to reboot into XP if you think that may help the problem. [22:00] root_ it is a bad idea to irc as root [22:00] wiijii: That's an ext3 filesystem. :/ [22:00] i kno [22:00] but i dont know where to change it [22:00] root_: I've just told ou the channel [22:00] k [22:00] /join #backtrack-linux [22:01] Hey has anyone sent Ubuntu into a super loop? [22:01] Heebie Yeeeah.... not good eh [22:01] k thanks [22:01] Ironreaper: what do you mean [22:01] aj149: You might need to boot into XP to initialise the network card hardware.. which will probably then be recognized by Linux.. if that's the case.. then there's probably BIOS setting that will fix the problem [22:01] cause mine is doing it right now... [22:01] root_: Backtrack is a special security testing distro, maybe you shoudn't realy be using it in the first place [22:01] Brb Its overheating my computer [22:01] Heebie: Ok I will try that now then. [22:01] wiijii: I got a program a while that that recovers stuff from XFS.. it might also be able to do Reiserfs... probably worth checking out. Let me see if I can get the name of it. [22:01] gee, I wonder why it's stuck in a loop if it's overheating [22:01] Heebie appreciated [22:01] Benkinooby: so the program searches its installation-directory for other files. make a short bash-script, 3 lines: 1. #!/bin/sh 2. cd /path/to/your/app 3. ./command [22:02] how do i add a cd to my source.list? apt-cdrom add doesn't work well... [22:02] ok [22:02] llutz: ah ok, and i call the script with the command.. thx [22:02] wiijii: It's not very expensive for personal use either.. fortunately! [22:02] Benkinooby: copy that script to /usr/local/bin or ~/bin and make it executable (chmod +x script) [22:02] Bmsod: use the software sources gui and click the "cd" option [22:02] wiijii: sorry i can't find it, i know its out there somewhere ive used it before [22:02] I've got a process that just won't die. Any tips? I've tried everything up to including throwing a SIGSYS at it. [22:02] Oli``: reboot [22:02] xray7224 Successfully I take it? [22:02] Oli``: kill it's parent [22:02] yes [22:03] ikonia: i'm having some stuble with the gui right now... [22:03] Bmsod: in what way ? [22:03] xray7224 Could I ask what your situation was? Guessing you hadn't put another fs on top... [22:03] I installed Mousetrap, went into terminal and typed in Mousetrap. It comes up ERROR over and over [22:03] Bmsod I think you can also edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the first line, then apt-get update [22:03] I installed ubuntu with one HD.. and would like to create a software raid 1 with a second I just installed.. is that possible? [22:03] wiijii: it's called UFS Explorer,and claims that it does support reiserfs. [22:03] anyone here know svnserve? [22:03] ikonia: =( its parent is gnome-session [22:03] Oli``: restart X then [22:03] no, i actually just removed the partition table so it might not work for you but it apparently would recover a partition you formatted too [22:03] there are also a lot of "free" methods to undelete stuff.. but I've tried many with no luck. [22:03] AAA: i've messed up the source.list, could you tell me how's that line should be? [22:03] * xray7224 shrugs [22:04] Bmsod: whats the problem with the gui [22:04] wiijii: you should backup anyway [22:04] xray7224 Indeed [22:04] Bmsod this is what mine looks like, but I upgraded from karmic, ymmv # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Beta i386 (20090929.2)]/ karmic main restricted [22:04] wiijii: Testdisk can be used to recover data from Ext3 partition and such, thing is, I think before it even works to do that, the partition actsualley has to be deleted. [22:04] ikonia: some errors, but it doesn't matter right now, my probelm is the cd apt thing not the gui [22:04] wiijii: Yes.. you should do a dd copy of the entire partition first... and then try & recover.. from the copy if you can.. from the original if you have ot. [22:04] wiijii: in future add it manually to fstab after the install [22:04] Bmsod: use the gui to set the cdrom path [22:04] thats my advice [22:04] wiijii: and yeah Testdisk isn't perfect [22:04] Bmsod: that's the easy way [22:05] ikonia: i *can not* use the gui because it's not working, and i dont need it, so the best thing for me is to solve 1 probelm at a time [22:05] xray7224 Yeah for sure. That's what I always used to do, but then I had some vague memory of UUID hassle [22:05] Bmsod may I ask why you want to use the cd instead of the network? is this for a non networked machine? [22:05] Bmsod: what's not working in the gui [22:05] Thanks for the help tho guys and gals [22:05] Bmsod: lets fix one thing at a time - the gui [22:05] well, the disk didn't boot. [22:06] trying to start svnserve as a daemon but it;s just hanging [22:06] not sure how to debug? [22:06] wiijii: Good luck! [22:06] AAA: yes, it's an internal machine without a net connection right now [22:06] I've never had a problem with my disk drive on that computer [22:06] wiijii: i never use UUID [22:06] you can just put like /dev/sda1 or what ever instead [22:06] llutz: 1000 thx it worked [22:06] :) [22:06] Bmsod ikonia sounds like they have gui answers for you [22:06] xray7224 Yeah, I don't really know what I was thinking [22:07] but now, after I unplugged and replugged it, and put in a new HDD, it doesn't seem to work. (i'll post this on ##hardware, too) So, should I go with booting from a USB stick? [22:07] AAA: yeah but i dont have a gui right now... [22:08] having issues with synaptic, cant upgrade openoffice-core package [22:08] Bmsod is the cd in the drive when you do $ apt-cdrom add ? [22:08] anyone an idea how I create a software raid after installation on 1 disk ? [22:09] or... is reinstalling recommended [22:09] ikonia: reboot was the only thing that would kill it - very odd [22:09] AAA: yes [22:09] riktking: try Applications > Accessories > terminal and do the command "sudo -i" then "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" [22:09] let us know if it gives you an error [22:09] :) [22:09] Oli``: defunct processes can cause issues [22:10] If I want to recursively change a word in multiple files in a directory, as well as renaming any files/directories containing that word. Any suggestions on how to do this not-manually? [22:10] Hi, is there a ppa thet will always get me the latest fglrx? [22:10] xray7224: Please don't recommend sudo -i, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" would have worked fine, and only asked for a password once (without leaving the user in a dangerous root shell) [22:10] ikonia: I thought SIGSYS was a kernel-level unloading signal though it clearly doesn't always work.. oh well no harm done [22:10] wait guys so how do i connect to the backtrack channel i used the info what the other guys said but it says maybe u mispelled it what ?? [22:11] irc://irc.otaku-irc.fr/Serial_Us [22:11] Jordan_U: its only dangerous if you have morons in the channel giving them dangerous commands [22:11] xray7224, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. is the error [22:11] riktking: do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [22:11] i understnd the problem with sudo -i [22:11] kzpl18: you probably shoudn't really be using Backtrack, are you doing proper security testing? [22:12] y should i not use it [22:12] is there a overview or introduction page I can read regarding init in ubuntu 10.04? [22:12] Jordan_U: if i see a moron giving them a command which will harm there system ill alert them to the problem [22:12] kzpl18: since its a distro for a very specialist purpouse [22:12] Jordan_U: when ive finished ill get them to exit back to there normal user [22:12] icehawk78 rename s/// [22:12] kzpl18: its designed to be very insecure, so that security testing can be done [22:13] icehawk78: Note..there is a SPACE after the third / [22:13] yeah like security reasons such as hacking and all that crap but i wana learn it in this distro as it comes with all the programs [22:13] xray7224: It's also dangerous if they don't realize that they're in a root shell and try to run firefox. Not only is running firefox as root a security problem, it could lead to them no logger being able to login graphically (Xauthority permissions problems) [22:13] kzpl18: well don't use it as an actasul Desktop OS then :) [22:13] no way ima use linux mint most likely [22:13] xray7224, http://pastebin.com/vM4hbwE6 [22:14] is there a way to forcibly unbind a port after a program crashes? [22:14] i just cant connect to there channel for some reason [22:14] without rebooting that is [22:14] Heebie: That'll work recursively in a directory, too? [22:14] aj149: Have you rebooted out of Windows yet on that machine?

Sorry. :/ [22:16] kzpl18: np [22:17] Heebie: yes I just got back in to Ubuntu but it still is not connecting but it was working fine in XP [22:17] riktking: try "sudo dpkg --configure --pending [22:17] aj149: Did you power off from XP.. or just reboot directly into Linux? [22:17] Heebie: rebooted directly into Ubuntu [22:18] any meld alternatives(GUI diff tools)? [22:18] aj149: That's not promising. Look in your BIOS setup for a setting about having a plug & play OS.. and make sure it thinks that you DON'T have a plug and play OS. [22:18] How about diff in a xterm ? =O [22:18] Heebie: Gotcha, thanks. [22:18] xray7224, http://pastebin.com/yTWtZkzK [22:19] riktking: try this "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin && rm /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin" [22:19] icehawk: TEST it before you actually let rip with it. Renaming them BACK could be worse! =O [22:19] don't worry they will be rebuilt by apt [22:19] then try "sudo apt-get -f install" [22:19] new question -- [22:20] does Ubuntu allow installation from a USB HDD? [22:20] kk.. thanks anyways.. bb [22:20] Shapeshiftr: don't see why not [22:20] Shapeshift yup [22:20] Heebie: Hm. Seems to just hang when I try that. find . -iname "*worldexchange*" -exec rename s/worldexchange/common/{}/ \; That's exactly what I ran. [22:20] xray7224, cannot remove file [22:20] Shapeshiftr: uhmm maybe not exactly [22:20] Shapeshiftr: a USB stick yes [22:20] Shapeshiftr: You might have to do some weird stuff, but I would think so. [22:20] riktking: does it say why ? [22:20] !usb | Shapeshiftr [22:20] Shapeshiftr: 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 [22:21] Will it still work if there are a bunch of other files on the external HD? [22:21] hello! [22:21] Shapeshiftr: yeah I guess what Heebie said [22:21] xray7224, rm: cannot remove `/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin': Permission denied [22:21] icehawk78: for that wildcard.. you need to escape-sequence the *'s like this \*wordexchange\* [22:21] ugh this sudo junk [22:21] sudo -i [22:21] done [22:21] can I ask something off topic? [22:21] Shapeshiftr: you would have to make a CDFS file system partition, and put the contents of the ISO on that, or something, I think [22:21] riktking: "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin" [22:21] xray [22:21] I was running Ubuntu Linux (Wubiinstalled) and my PC lost power and now I cannot get back into it. I get an install error something about power management. [22:21] someone know what's this film's title: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJTUcJPDriw [22:21] shapeshiftr: try using unetbootin to setup the flash drive [22:21] gionnico: in #ubuntu-offtopic yes, not here [22:21] Shapeshiftr: people don't install Ubuntu from a hard disk useaully if ever, or any other OS for that matter [22:22] lawrence: an install error? Have you tried booting off of a rescue disk and doing an fsck on every filesystem? [22:22] xray7224, ok [22:22] my CD/DVD suddenly felt like failing, so it's my only choice [22:22] i'm looking for alternatives for xchat as an irc client? [22:22] hey guys, have you seen the newest ubuntu? [22:22] !usb | Shapeshiftr [22:22] ATM, I don't have any flash drives [22:22] buttons840: command line or gui ? [22:22] I boot linux as normal, then when I login it gives me that error. [22:22] buttons840: try irssi [22:22] buttons840: irssi ? BitchX? ircii? [22:22] All started because the PC lost power. [22:23] Shapeshiftr: you can install from a USBstick/FlashDrive and there are other ways to install as well [22:23] xray7224, so wht now? [22:23] !install | Shapeshiftr [22:23] Shapeshiftr: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [22:23] riktking: "sudo apt-get -f install" [22:23] sebsebseb: you really like that bot don't you [22:23] ok, have you heard of the unity flash player? It makes you desktop 3D! [22:23] Shapeshiftr: also I don't normally recommend it, but with at least like 256MB RAM, and if you got Windows on there, you can do Wubi [22:23] lawrence: Sounds like filesystem corruption that wasn't "caught" by an fsck. :/ Re-installing the stuff that's borked will probably fix it. (just the packages that the damaged files belong to.. so power management stuff.) [22:23] when i try to connect to my box via ssh i get a "sshd[1586]: dispatch_protocol_error: type 46 seq 9" google turns up nothing any ideas where i can find info related to this? [22:23] xray7224: depends [22:23] Someone mentioned ctrl+alt+f4 and login but that just stays on the screen and doesn't do anything [22:24] Shapeshiftr: You can setup grub2 to boot from an iso file on your USB HDD, that way you can keep whatever filesystem and files are currently on it. [22:24] Heebie: Escaping them caused it to do (and find) nothing. [22:24] How do I fix it? [22:24] lawrence did you try the repair-consol? [22:24] Shapeshiftr: Wubi is ok for short term Ubuntu useage, in the long run a proper partitioned install is better. Also some program that can convert Wubi install into real partition. Don't remember what though. [22:24] Where do I find that? Upon boot? [22:24] hello. i'm facing a problem. after a few minutes of use, i can't type anything in the text fields, nor i can open any menus. [22:24] yes [22:24] icehawk Are there any files in the folder that match that filespec anymore? [22:24] !wubi > Shapeshiftr [22:24] Shapeshiftr, please see my private message [22:24] normaly, but i'm nor sure with wubi [22:25] i found irssi to be a little hard to learn being command line and all, i'm not afraid of it, but i'd rather spend my time studying other things [22:25] I don't have a working OS on the computer [22:25] you can olny use the unity web player on windows, so I might switch back to windows. what do you think I should do? [22:25] the OS is broken and Chock Full o' Viruses [22:25] Shapeshiftr: and if you got another computer on a LAN, you can do a netinstall, but that isn't really for new users. [22:25] what happened to guidance-powermanager - or something like that ? it seems not to be in the lucid repos. [22:25] Shapeshiftr: Do you have a working OS on any computer that you can connect the USB HHD to? [22:25] buttons840: learning to do /join # will save you lots of time later. ;) [22:25] buttons840: if you like Qt applications konversation is often a popular choice, it requires you to install a load of kde deps tho [22:25] can you guys hear me? [22:25] blue__: yes [22:25] blue__: yes we see you [22:26] xray7224, http://pastebin.com/iwSCfQuw error AGAIN [22:26] yeah...this one =P [22:26] ^ @jordan_U [22:26] okay no u type that stuff in the konsole ? [22:26] Could someone help me troubleshoot why I suddenly don't have a network connection anymore? (obviously I type this from another computer) [22:26] good. you do you think i should switch back to windows? [22:26] * xray7224 hates apt [22:26] * Heebie is NOT a fan of graphical IRC.. probably because I'm old as dirt and have been using IRC since before most of the people in this channel right now were born!) ;) [22:26] riktking: "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [22:26] blue__: uhmm whats the issue [22:26] blue__: I didn't see one [22:27] blue__, what the heck is wrong with dual-booting? [22:27] Shapeshiftr: You can use it to setup iso booting with grub2 then. [22:27] how would I go about doing that? [22:27] I flipped over to the other PC and it was at the prompt. I tried running gdm and I get errors. .org.gnome.DisplayManager and could not aquire name bailing out. [22:27] Can I run a check from there? [22:27] blue__: Unity Flash palyer I don't know what that is, you say it makes the desktop 3D [22:28] xray7224, http://pastebin.com/BzanSqCR [22:28] blue__: well we have Compiz here for example [22:28] !compiz | blue__ [22:28] blue__: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [22:28] Heebie: I was able to get networking by going into command line mode in root but that was in RecoveryMode [22:28] lawrence: If you do a CTRL-ALT-F1 that should get you to a text-based login prompt..and you should be able to login & check things from there. [22:28] wow [22:28] Shapeshiftr: Follow this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [22:28] lawrence there was no option for a repair? then i don't know, else you need to "fix broken packages" [22:28] I am there. What do I run? [22:28] from the command line [22:28] aj149: That's weird.. but did you perchance do an lsmod while it was running to see what module was loaded? [22:29] lawrence try sudo apt-get update [22:29] riktking: ok lets try totally removing openoffice "sudo aptitude purge openoffice.org-core" [22:29] then we will try installing it [22:29] Jordan_U, I have windows on this computer. [22:29] the unity web player olny works on windows, but it is supposed to make everything look 3D, but it looks suspishos, it might be spywear [22:29] blue__: yeah it sounds a bit to good to be true [22:29] blue__: plus the name, your on about Windows [22:29] I have Windows on this computer... several versions of it.. all in virtual machines. [22:30] blue__: since you want 3D effects, well Compiz in Ubuntu [22:30] sebsebseb i think blue__ is the problem, nor the unity player^^ [22:30] xray7224, thanks [22:30] the only Ubuntu I currently have in on a VM that may or may not be able to recognize any non-virtual HDDs [22:30] Horroreyes: why? [22:30] riktking: has it done that ? [22:30] Horroreyes: ok so you know about that program then? I didn't [22:30] Shapeshiftr: What are you using for virtualisation? [22:30] xray7224, i dont have the fastest laptop in the world [22:30] he's shouting out how good the unity web player is since minutes... not noticing noone cares [22:30] i know its creepy because it asks where you live too and i will NEVER give that info to a stranger [22:31] riktking: hehe, sorry [22:31] Shapeshiftr: You can follow the directions from a LiveCD. [22:31] I virtualized it just to mess around with it and learn what I'm getting in to [22:31] blue__: so does Windows or Ubuntu when you install them, but thats only, so the OS will set up time and such for your area [22:31] what do you mean, Jordan_U ? [22:31] xray7224, ok [22:31] Shapeshiftr: What virtualistion software are you using? VMware? XEN? Virtualbox? Parallels? [22:31] riktking: its done ? [22:31] anyone can point me to a direction on how to fix the lid button? it isn't working as expected,the minitor off for 0.5 sec the button is pressed as well as released. [22:32] hey guys [22:32] Box [22:32] So I'm trying to install server edition from a live cd, so I figured I'd connect it to the network (esp since it's a server) so I go to iwconfig, no iface and then modprobe ath5k and it says there is no such module ath5k. No ath5k module on server install iso? What gives? [22:32] xray7224, yeah im back to command [22:32] oh, well i don't think i will install it anyway [22:32] blue__: this channel is for technical ubuntu issues only, let's move on [22:32] can someone explain me why the gwibber app just shows me fotoupdates on facebook? [22:32] do i have to adjust something or somewhat? [22:32] riktking: cool, try "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org*.deb" [22:32] Shapeshiftr: Since you have an Ubuntu LiveCD, you can boot it (on the working computer) and follow the directions in the link I gave to make your bootable USB drive. [22:32] soreau: I wouldn't think a server version inludes anything wireless-related.. that would be kinda silly from a security perspective [22:32] oh, good point [22:33] Heebie: -_- [22:33] myrmidon: apparantly Gwibber does not work that well with Facebook at the moment [22:33] hi everyone [22:33] will that work for Ubuntu Server (LiveCD demo running)? [22:33] riktking: then "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-gnome" [22:33] and fingers crossed it will work [22:33] sebsebseb: ah ok... so basically there is nothing i can do so far than to wait for updates? [22:33] myrmidon: gwibber is buggy :( [22:33] * Heebie has been glared at ;_; [22:33] I want to read and tweak my initrd but the techniques available from different forums does not work! [22:33] Heebie: The question should be: Does ath5k really not exist on a server edition live cd or am I just doing it wrong? From a root terminal, modprobe ath5k gives no such module found [22:33] ico666: so is facebook [22:33] :P [22:33] Any idea how to extract my initrd.img [22:33] Shapeshiftr: LiveCD Demo? [22:34] xray7224, its doing something [22:34] ico666: ok ... i see :D would have been nice if it would have worked! [22:34] xray7224: true that ;) [22:34] myrmidon: When you use Gwibber for Facebook what do you get exactly? [22:34] like, running Ubuntu Server w/o installing it on this computer [22:34] file initrd.img mentions it is a gzip compressed file [22:34] soreau: If there were any wireless drivers on a SERVER install CD.. someone would seriously need a good swift kick in the ghoulies. [22:34] how to remove the splash screen and how put a verbose booting ? [22:34] ok back. still having problems with fdisk Heebie....have any ideas? [22:34] *to [22:34] I know it works for desktop, but server? [22:34] sebsebseb: i see only picture uploads of friends... and every photo as a single update [22:34] *boot [22:34] Heebie: Surely you can't be serious. It's part of the Linux Kernel for crying out loud [22:35] Shapeshiftr: So you mean that the iso you want to boot on the broken machine is Ubuntu Server, but the CD you'd be booting from on the working machine is Ubuntu Desktop? [22:35] shazkhan: you could unzip it it, but usually it just gets generated or updated [22:35] =V [22:35] myrmidon: I haven't bothered testing Gwibber/memenu properly myself yet, since its in a group of features, that I don't like [22:35] OK, well here is something that always goes rong, every time i log on and go to google, it keeps disapearring back to my desktop, and i don't know what to do [22:35] Nolwenn you need to configure it in grub, there is a grub config file where you can delete the "splash"-option [22:35] soreau: I'm entirely serious.. there's no way any wireless hardware should be in a server.. no way no how... so it's probably not there. [22:35] I have Ubuntu Server on a CD [22:35] myrmidon: however yeah the social stuff will probably be a bit more improved in 10.10 [22:35] sebsebseb: so basically you dont like networking :P [22:35] networking sucks [22:35] hello, I've installed Ubuntu on a logic partition, because on the primary, I've had a Win Vista installed. Now, I've moved everything I needed from Vista to Ubuntu and deleted the Vista partition, but now I am stuck in logic partition. How do I move my Ubuntu from a logic to a primary partition and continue working on the primary partition. I am afraid that if I just move it, using gparted,... [22:35] ...I will not be able to boot, because the Ubuntu will be referenced to the logic /dev/hd[whaterver] instead of the primary /dev/hd[whatever]. How do I make sure that it will work for me? [22:36] soreau it is part of some kernels, not all kernels [22:36] does Server work as a LiveCD, or can only desktop-ubuntu work as a liveCD? [22:36] Nolwenn /boot/grub/menu.list [22:36] myrmidon: I don't like some of the recent Ubuntu features, you can pm if you want, and i'll gladlly explain what I mean [22:36] AAA: Obviously it whether or not the kernel was config'd to build such module [22:36] i need help [22:36] hello all [22:36] igoryonya: You don't need to move ubuntu.. just reformat the primary partition that used to have Windows on it and mount it somewhere in your linux filesystem tree. [22:36] igoryonya_: why do you need to move it ? [22:36] sebsebseb: ok... btw, can i do this then over the air, so with this software updater? because the weird thing is, sometimes when i update ubuntu, in the GRUB loading screen there are suddenly two ubuntu versions [22:36] !details | blue_ [22:36] blue_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:36] does anyone know if there is an open source web to print solution? [22:36] blue__ do you need help or do you need an opinion? [22:37] help please [22:37] myrmidon: over the air? and now something about Grub? what? [22:37] ideally someone uploads a file to a webserver with cups and it prints to the printer of choice [22:37] sebsebseb: i mean the built in package updater [22:37] blue__: we are asking you to provide more information about your issue by the look of the !details use [22:37] sebsebseb: will it then automatically update to 10.10? [22:37] xray7224, thanks [22:37] I love packages.ubuntu.com. But, it seems it only does ubuntu desktop packages. Is there a similar site for server edition? [22:37] riktking: did it work ? [22:37] xray7224, its worked [22:37] igoryonya_: You do want to be careful.. if you reformat the windows partition..and that's where grub was installed.. you'll need to re-install grub. (or whatever boot manager might be on the system.) [22:37] ? [22:37] soreau: It does all. [22:38] Heebie: it appears to be using 8139cp [22:38] riktking: good, glad i could help [22:38] jpds: I must be over looking something then [22:38] wait, can't I just use UNetbootin ? [22:38] Horroreyes, thank you, I found it, but have you an idea about a verbose mode/option ?? [22:38] or does that not work if the usb HDD has info on it [22:38] yes, one moment [22:38] myrmidon: Yes when Ubuntu 10.10 comes out on Sunday 10th October people will be able to upgrade to it. However at the moment I don't even know if I am going to bother on the other computer or not, since development is way to early. [22:38] xray7224: I need to make it primary, and right now, my partition starts on the logic partition from the middle of the harddrive, and I have empty space in before the logic partition about the half of the hd is empty space in the beginning. I want linux to take up an entire hdd. [22:39] Shapeshiftr: You can get a terminal from the Ubuntu Server install CD, but it's not like the Desktop CD where you're getting a full Ubuntu environment (you don't even have all of the tools that you'd normally have with a full Ubuntu server installation) [22:39] i also need help because the ubuntu server keeps crasshing [22:39] aj149: OK.. so you know which driver is the right one at least.. you can now create an alias for that in the modules loader file (this can very from sytem to system.. I've not used it in ubuntu.. never had to before.. so I'm not sure where it is.) but.. that doesn't solve the problem of the hardware not initialising before the kernel starts. [22:39] Shapeshiftr: you can, but it's alays good to format to fat32 on usb via unetbootin [22:39] sebsebseb: ok! ... thanks for the help! [22:39] fdisk /dev/sdb works and shows my flash drive. fdisk /dev/sda gives me "unable to seek on /dev/sda/" any ideas? [22:39] ... [22:39] Nolwenn I think it was -verbose where you deleted the -splash but i'll have a look [22:39] hi, I am attempting to setup a mail server. The reason I want it is to send emails, from a cronjob to an external address, does someone have experience with this? [or using mail in php would work as well] [22:39] sebsebseb: you mean about the ubuntu distri? [22:40] profxavier: you might have good luck in #ubuntu-server [22:40] profxavier, do you have a domain name? [22:40] ok thanks, you're nice :) [22:40] Nolwenn almost always the verbose option is -v sometimes -d, you can always consult the man page for sure [22:40] oki :D [22:40] also, how do you edit and make movies on this thing? [22:40] Shapeshiftr: nope [22:40] For some reason which I'm having a hard time tracking down, I can't get Ubuntu to accept my remote SSH dsa publickey... everytime I try to SSH in I am asked for the password (to my user, not to the key)... Anyone know where I might start looking? [22:40] Heebie: I've already deleted Windows partition from the primary, and the grub shows up still, and I am able to boot to Ubuntu, how do I move my ubunto to all that empty space that used to be ocupied by Vista and make it primary, instead of logic? [22:40] xguru: sounds like a corrupt partition table to me [22:40] well, profxavier, you really can't host a mail server if you don't have a site to host it on. [22:40] i could be wrong though [22:41] xray7224: how do i correct this? [22:41] igoryonya_: Don't bother trying to MOVE it... just create a new partition in the empty space and mount it into your linux filesystem tree where you want some extra space. [22:41] if you want a mail server, go buy a domain name of your liking from a site like godaddy.com [22:41] xguru: first id double check im right [22:41] HELP????? [22:41] hello. i'm facing a problem. after a few minutes of use, i can't type anything in the text fields, nor i can open any menus. i have to turn my laptop off through the power button and then turn it on again. [22:41] erm, can you mount it ? [22:41] bkadoctaj: you copied your key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys? be sure to chmod 700 the ~/.ssh directory and chmod 600 the authorized_keys file [22:41] blue__: i don't want to sound rude but, shut up. [22:41] Shapeshiftr I think you missed my purpose, i do not want a 'mail server' for the reason you might want one [22:41] blue_: play a movie ? use vlc [22:42] Okay, already chmod 600'd the authorized_keys file. [22:42] then, what do you mean? [22:42] Let me double check the directory. [22:42] bkadoctaj you'll need to edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the server to allow dsa logins [22:42] everybody says that to me, im used to it [22:42] bkadoctaj and restart sshd after [22:42] Shapeshiftr: i dont see how buying a domain name and emailing are related, i am sorry [22:42] xguru, must you use cli? ~ gparted is nicer and more powerful [22:42] Could someone help me troubleshoot why I suddenly don't have a network connection anymore? (obviously I type this from another computer) [22:42] hi, I am attempting to setup a mail server. The reason I want it is to send emails, from a cronjob to an external address, does someone have experience with this? [or using mail in php would work as well] [22:42] Can anyone show me an example of an O:line as they are supposed to look like to allow me to use /OPER on my irc server? This line didn't work: O:*:mypassword:zagabar:allowed umodes:connection class:default umodes [22:42] wildbat: i don't think your right with it being more powerful but i suppose your right on it being nicer [22:42] if you want an email address, go to yahoo, gmail, or hotmail and get one there. [22:42] wildbat: i have to. no os is installed [22:42] :[ [22:42] balachmar : sure .. [22:42] hey [22:43] Actually, to host a mail server you can just register a domain name and set the MX records to the IP address you have at home.. but that IP will probably change often, and most places will reject mail coming from any type of broadband address.. so you're better off with a hosted mail service (in my data centre would be my preference..but I'm not here to advertise.).. unless you can get your ISP to give you a static IP address, and reverse-DNS (PTR) records. [22:43] AAA: do you mean sshd_config? [22:43] xguru: you can install gparted on the live cd [22:43] i get this message from veoh site: This is a 5 minute preview of a 24 minute video [22:43] Install Veoh Web Player to watch the full video in your browser or download it to your PC [22:43] xguru: it will just install into RAM [22:43] hi all ) [22:43] what can i do? [22:43] balachmar : broken one up and running ? [22:43] to run your own mail server, you need to have a domain, so that your email address can be yourname@yoursite.com [22:43] bkadoctaj yes, you need to edit that config to allow for key logins, then restart the sshd server [22:43] Heebie: but that will be a different partition and space management will be separate from the main system, I want to make an entire system take up an entire hdd and distribute the space between the '/' and '/home', which I have on 2 partitions. [22:43] Nolwenn you have to delete the "quiet" there, but i can't find the file on my system :-( [22:43] who can help mi ?? [22:43] xray7224: ok [22:43] !ask | Penguin__ [22:43] Penguin__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:43] but I already configured it like that... [22:43] Heebie: that is -not- what I am attempting to do [22:43] bye. [22:43] xray7224: "sudo -i apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gparted" in terminal [22:43] bkadoctaj most of the lines you need should be there, and #commented out [22:44] how I can to install thehe in emerald whis console?? [22:44] hmm I take a look at the grub.cfg file, it seems to be a bit messy ;) [22:44] DasEi: What do you mean? both network interfaces show up as disabled in lshw [22:44] Nolwenn: its grub2, its messy [22:44] yeah, my point exactly, Heebie, you need to register a domain name for a private POP3 server [22:45] Nolwenn at grub2 you really should not change the cfg-file [22:45] Shapeshiftr: I believe you have never done what I am asking to do, that's why its not clear to you [22:45] igoryonya_: If you want to do that.. then you'll have to backup the entire partitions you're using now to an external device (dd is good for this) delete the partitions on the drive, create a partition that takes up the whole drive (minus any swap space you want to allocate), dd the copy back onto the new partition, then grow the filesytem. (you can do this with ext3, ext4, and xfs all pretty easily.) to fill the rest of the partition. [22:45] So in order to get server edition to have ath5k.ko module I need to get the desktop kernel? I figured the server edition would have everything network including wifi modules [22:45] Nolwenn: http://linuxers.org/howto/how-configure-grub2-ubuntu-910 <--- might help [22:46] ok thanks [22:46] hi, I have problems with glxinfo. it segfaults and it looks like fglrx is to blame. How do I install a proprietary driver? === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [22:46] AAA: Thank you for your support, but I don't see any option for enabling DSA. [22:46] profxavier: you will need to set up a mail transport agent like exim4 [22:46] balachmar: ? [22:46] profxavier: Do you have enough control over the RECEIVING mail server to make sure that it doesn't reject the mails sent by yours? [22:46] also, no other opengl stuff works on my computer :( [22:46] I checked man sshd_config as well. [22:46] soreau you could try and cp the .ko from elsewhere and --force load it [22:46] AAA: Ah yea, good idea [22:47] DasEi: could you help me get my network going? [22:47] balachmar: yes, broken one up , terminal open ? [22:47] Nolwenn: there are loads of other tutorials on grub2 out there, if you don't like what i linked to, a quick google search will bring them up. [22:47] =/ profxavier, you say you want a mail server, correct? [22:47] bkadoctaj: are you ssh-ing into the box from another linux machine? a machine that holds your dsa key? [22:47] I have gone to hardware drivers and it says "no proprietary drivers are installed". How do I install some? [22:47] DasEi: Don't know what you mean with broken one up, but terminal is open yes [22:47] Yep. [22:48] oCean_: From an Arch box. [22:48] shomon: er, none are needed, why would you? [22:48] balachmar: broken one is the pc not doing network, up means it's running, so.. [22:48] well, I can't run anything to do with opengl. [22:48] balachmar: ifconfig | pastebinit [22:48] so I think I need something to replace fglrx [22:48] bkadoctaj you need this line for sure IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa [22:49] how can I see which back end mail is using ? [22:49] bkadoctaj and I think you also need RSAAuthentication yes [22:49] bkadoctaj: don't think sshd config needs modifying - usage of keys in default enabled [22:49] profxavier: The actual send is easy.. make sure mailx is installed, and pipe the content you want into the mail command with -s "subject line" [22:49] balachmar: little nervy, but give the the url here [22:49] Can someone help me with compiz fusion === Akiraaa is now known as Akiraa [22:49] I've found a page online that says to remove fglrx and install some proprietary alternative... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/555158 [22:49] DasEi: pastebin is not pratical no network. ifconfig only lists lo device [22:49] Heebie: I do not believe this to be -easy- [22:49] !help | pr0xy [22:49] pr0xy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === oblivion is now known as Guest6438 [22:49] pr0xy: depends whats wrong with it [22:49] bkadoctaj: AAA works out of the box here, no modifying required of sshd config [22:50] balachmar: my bad, how do you connect ? router with dhcp ? [22:50] DasEi: yep [22:50] Heebie: well, I know that I can do it with gparted, or as you suggested with dd, I was just thinking clone the partition that my ubuntu currently resides to the free space on primary, before the logic partition, and then delete the original logic partition and grow the cloned to take up the rest of the space, but I am afraid that I will not be able to boot on the cloned partition, if I don't... [22:50] balachmar: sudo dhclient [22:50] ...edit something somewhere, pointing to the new cloned partition, instead of the old pointers. That's what I am concerned about, but now how to copy. How do I make sure that I will boot to the new partition? [22:50] bkadoctaj the other gotcha, is your key needs to be all on one line, something when you paste the key into your identity file it breaks it to 2 lines [22:50] hello :> is anyone else using shotwell in 10.04? i tried, but it would not import png or gif files, said that they weren't supported [22:50] balachmar: does it find devices and probing for leases ? [22:51] how can I see which back end mail is using ? [22:51] profxavier: Sending the mail is easy... setting up a mail server is easy. Making the content to PUT in that mail.. I have no idea how complicated your content is.. so I can't comment... and making sure you mail actually gets through to it's intended recipient can be problematic if you don't have a static IP address and a reverse-DNS record.. or at least a reliable mail relay to gateway your outbound mail through. [22:51] DasEi: hey, that actually works [22:51] balachmar: wired again ? [22:51] bkadoctaj: has the arch box ssh-copy-id command? That way, you make sure the key gets correctly transferred [22:51] Heebie: if this is -easy-, tell me 'exactly' how to do it [22:51] DasEi: yes, but why doesn't it do that automatically? [22:51] igoryonya_: I don't think gparted will let you MOVE a filesystem... enlarge it..shrink it..yes.. but it will remain at the same beginning point.. leaving the space before it on the drive. [22:52] balachmar:we 'll check, turn over to that box now, so you can copy n paste [22:52] profxavier: I can't tell you how to create your content.. and you haven't told me if you have control over the RECEIVING mail server yet. [22:52] Why can't I use desktop effects all of a sudden? I used to be able to; today when I booted up my pc I could no longer use desktop effects. [22:52] profxavier, read this guide [22:52] http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p5 [22:52] oCean_: yes, I do have that file. [22:52] balachmar: pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces [22:52] AAA: I'm pretty sure it's all in one line. [22:52] Shapeshiftr: you go ahead, send me the Coles Notes when you are done please [22:52] bkadoctaj the 2 line key in identity has gotten me more than once. I usually do something like $ echo "extra long string" >> ~/.ssh/id_dsa [22:52] oCean_: err... script. [22:52] I'm trying to run second life and some open source viewers on my lucid computer. but everything I try segfaults since I upgraded from 8.04. Even glxgears or glxinfo so opengl is broken. I've just removed fglrx. How do I get the correct libraries to replace this? [22:52] pr0xy problems with your grafics-driver? [22:52] profxavier: do you get any error when you try to enable desktop effects? [22:53] Heebie: you beginning to understand, its not as -easy- as you believe/say [22:53] ifconfig < bkadoctaj it is worth checking. also ssh -vvvv <--- debug your failed attemp [22:53] profxavier: well, first of all you will have to set up a mail transport agent (MTA) like exim4 or postfix [22:53] Horroreyes, I'm not sure [22:53] profxavier: Sending the mail is incredibly easy. cat | mail -s 'subject' email-address [22:53] ico666: how do I see which one is being used, by mail, right now ? [22:53] did you use propriety-drivers? [22:54] bkadoctaj: to make sure you correctly copy the key, use (from arch box) ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub account@othermachine [22:54] Heebie: thats not the issue, the issue is not 'sending an email' [22:54] Heebie: Finally after altering the modules file it works thanks for the help [22:54] profxavier: To make sure the mail is delivered reliably.. you NEED to have access to a mail server that has forward and reverse DNS.. or you need to have complete control over the receiving mail server. [22:54] aj149: Does it still work if you power it off for a while and power it back on? [22:54] ...and that's why you need a domain. [22:54] ok now this is just ridiculous. The server edition live cd doesn't even have ifconfig????? [22:55] Can someone help direct me to the right place to learn gnome theming? I'd like to take the default ubuntu lucid theme and make urgent windows in the taskbar be colored orange. [22:55] soreau: /sbin/ifconfig [22:55] profxavier: Does not exist [22:55] Heebie: I know that I can clone it, I've done it before, but how do I make it so that cloned partition is the one that I boot with and how where do I fix everything on the cloned partition that it will know that it is the '/' partition, not the other one that this was being copied from? [22:55] profxavier: If sending the mail is not the issue..than what is? [22:55] Horroreyes, yes. from nVidia. I have ordered a new card because my current one is a GeForce4 MX 4000. I'm getting a GeForce GT 240, hopefully Monday. [22:56] Okay, well, in the ~/.ssh/id_dsa key on my Arch box, the key was in 12 lines. [22:56] Heebie, read above, I don't think reposting is a good idea [22:56] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/7KP8Uute [22:56] profxavier: It has iwconfig but not ifconig [22:56] igoryonya_: To make a "new" partition the bootable one.. you have to edit your grub.conf and re-install grub to use the right drive. [22:56] ifconfig* [22:56] soreau you are still installing right? the path with be something like /mntimage/sbin or similar [22:56] wtf [22:56] I put it all in one line AAA but that didn't solve my issue. [22:56] soreau: no idea why its not there [22:56] profxavier: I've read everything you've said.. and I don't see anything that leads me to think that your problem isn't "sending a mail" :/ [22:57] bkadoctaj: never sure with pastes, use the ssh-copy-id command [22:57] pr0xy then I would hold out until I've the new card and then do the trobbleshooting... if it is a problem with your cars you take hours (maybe) for only 4 days [22:57] bkadoctaj I'd remove it and try the method oCean_ suggested [22:57] AAA: I'm on a server live cd and it has iwconfig but no ath5k.ko module. And it has no ifconfig. I mean what on earth how is this supposed to serve anything??? [22:57] igoryonya_: and the only things you should have to change on the partition content-wise are /boot/grub/menu.list and /etc/fstab [22:57] it's supposed to be a server edition distro [22:57] AAA and oCean_: will do. [22:57] hi, I am attempting to setup a mail server. The reason I want it is to send emails, from a cronjob to an external address, does someone have experience with this? [or using mail in php would work as well] :: note: external address [22:57] Thanks for the support. :) [22:57] soreau haha, I hear ya man. that makes little sense. is it a busybox shell? [22:57] pr0xy: can you check your hardware drivers? check if your nvidia drivers are being loaded/used [22:57] balachmar: which is the correct device ? eth0 ? [22:57] AAA: It says /bin/sh [22:57] igoryonya_: In fact.. I don't think you'll need to modify the /etc/fstab on Ubuntu.. because I think it uses the UUID of the partition as it's key for the / partition.. not a device designation. [22:58] profxavier: well, if you haven't tried installing any MTA, then there isn't any MTA installed. After you set up either one of postfix or exim4, you can configure the sendmail_path parameter in php.ini file and then use PHP scripts to send. this is if, "you just want to send mails" [22:58] mako-sama, they are. [22:58] soreau $ busybox [22:58] soreau what version of ubuntu is your disk? [22:58] Horroreyes: 10.04 [22:58] ico666: with a default install, you dont have to 'install' one, its already done for you... [22:58] DasEi: eth1 and wlan1 [22:58] AAA: ok I have busybox [22:58] soreau ifconfig? [22:58] on my system there is the ath5k module perfectly working [22:58] DasEi: nm-applet also doesn't show up by the way [22:58] ico666: note: reason for me asking said question [22:59] pr0xy: try disabling desktop effects completely then enable it again [22:59] profxavier: I don't think there's a "real" MTA installed in ubuntu by default. (although I'd expect a LAMP server install to have it.) [22:59] AAA: It's not in the list of currently defined functions [22:59] tell us what happens [22:59] and ifconfig... you should have it but i think you need iwconfig? [22:59] after using aptitude search, I see I have exim4 installed [22:59] soreau grrr. hrm. find / -name ifconfig ?? [22:59] profxavier: just type sendmail on your terminal. tell me what the terminal says. [22:59] profxavier: Do you also have mailx installed? [22:59] AAA and oCean_: just in case I'm missing something obvious, here's ssh -vvvv's output: [22:59] http://pastebin.org/337921 [22:59] is sendmail == exim4 ? [22:59] profxavier: nope lol [22:59] balachmar: http://pastebin.com/2nzk6bqi [23:00] postfix. get it. [23:00] anyone know with xinerma between a VGI and a HDMI/DVI output, what the right line is for MonitorLayout in xorg.conf? [23:00] ico666: Exim [23:00] sendmail is a utility just about any MTA will manage to provide. [23:00] bkadoctaj debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/jason/.ssh/id_dsa. [23:00] I'm a postfix fan myself.. I don't like true sendmail.. qmail isn't bad. [23:00] AAA: Seems /target/sbin/ifconfig exists, thanks [23:00] balachmar: by the way, the setting of interfaces overrides the nm-applet and is the more decent way [23:01] so can I use exim4 to send mail to an external (not on my LAN/Domain) ? if so, how do I configure? [23:01] soreau, try export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games in your terminal [23:01] DasEi: yes, but I would like the nm-applet to show up anyway [23:01] soreau, then ifconfig [23:01] ironfroggy: I've never been able to get a VGA and an HDMI to work together.. I've always had to put an adapter on the HDMI to VGA..and use 2 VGA's. (although you SHOULD be able to get it working I would hope!) [23:01] Moral_: It's in /target/sbin/ifconfig, thanks [23:01] oh [23:01] alright [23:01] soreau hehe, s/mntimage/target ; that's what I meant before =p [23:02] DasEi: ok, changed interfaces to that [23:02] AAA, lol [23:02] mako-sama, they are disabled now. When I try to enable them, all the windows flash and then the... selection bubble, for lack of a better term, goes back to no desktop effects. [23:02] AAA: Ok now I can ping the box that ath5k.ko exists on and I want to cp it over but no ssh exists [23:02] bkadoctaj you are trying to connect with a dsa key, correct? === ico666_ is now known as ico666 [23:02] Is ubuntu netbook for 64-bit or 32-bit processors? [23:02] I was. [23:02] soreau my guess is /target/bin/ssh [23:02] balachmar: sudo apt-get remove --purge netapplet [23:02] AAA: but now I'm trying oCean_'s method. [23:03] profxavier: If you have your MTA installed.. it will probably try to send mail by default.. but most ISP's will block it if you're on a broadband connection.. if your ISP gives you a mail-relay to use.. you should be able to relay through it.. Look for relay server settings in the configuration for your MTA. (exim4?) [23:03] p1l0t 32-bit i think [23:03] AAA: Yea I already guessed but find / -name ssh returns nothing [23:03] balachmar: sudo apt-get install netapplet [23:03] Going to use an RSA this time. [23:03] Heebie: the hdmi is then using a dvi adapter. does that help? [23:03] does anyone know how to enable my builtin speakers on Lucid Lynx? [23:03] I would be surprised if my one is a 64-bit-netbook [23:03] doesn't openssh need to be installed manually, through apt-get? === acperkins_ is now known as acperkins [23:03] I am on a 15-inch MacBook Pro. [23:03] ironfroggy: I've never used a video card with an HDMI output.. so I honestly have no clue. :( [23:03] Moral_: yes, I believe so. [23:04] profxavier: sorry for the ping time out. well, by default a MTA isn't installed. i had asked you to just type "sendmail" in the terminal. so, what was the output? :) [23:04] Moral_: at least openssh-server does. [23:04] I have a dual-core 64bit acer with ubuntu netbook, but my girlfriend just bought a 32bit netbook and I don't know if my usb would work... Are there different versions of netbook because I only see one on the main page [23:04] balachmar_ for now you are connected and at next reboot connection shall be there again, can also test it by restarting networking [23:04] DasEi: why not use the normal nm-applet? [23:04] Moral_ you need to install openssh-server or openssh-client [23:04] hello guys, how do i configure the 10.4 notification applet [23:04] soreau, that's why ssh doesn't work [23:04] because it's not installed with cds [23:04] DasEi: Thanks for your help! [23:04] Has anyone had any problems with Ubuntu 10.04 and Flash 10.1 r523? [23:05] Moral_: I know that but I want to cp a file over to the other box over the network [23:05] you can use scp [23:05] jalexbrown: Yes.. I've not been able to get flash working. (64-bit 10.04) [23:05] bkadoctaj yeah, I think your id_dsa is broken. I'd rm it and try Ocean's way [23:05] jalexbrown, flash and linux hate eachother. [23:05] Haha [23:05] ico666: I have Exim [23:05] Moral_: scp is not installed either [23:05] soreau no scp either? or nc? you can try to find a static ssh and put it on your machine [23:06] balachmar_: np, there are few apps for gui, if you just need the icon, I tend to use nmapplet [23:06] soreau nc may be the simplest tho [23:06] Moral_ jalexbrown they hate eachother? they are not in love but it works... you need to find the right plug-in^^ [23:06] AAA: Ok I have nc but never used it before [23:06] soreau nc is a bit tricky, google for some examples [23:06] balachmar_: if you like to play around more, start synaptic an serch nm [23:06] a* === afiefh is now known as afief [23:06] Does anyone know where I can get the right stuff so it will work? === TannerF[AFK] is now known as TannerF [23:06] nc (netcat) is pretty awesome.. but I've never heard of it being used to copy files over a network. [23:07] oCean_ and AAA: the ssh-copy-id method worked! :D [23:07] Heebie oh yeah, many times. it does everything... [23:07] Thanks for your patience. [23:07] bkadoctaj awesome! [23:07] irssi tries to join a channel before the identify take place and thus i can't join, can i delay the auto join of the channel to give identify enough time? [23:07] AAA: Sweet! =D [23:07] Heebie: rsync is nice for that [23:07] Heebie soreau basically you cat a file to netcat and then connect to that socket from the other under using nc [23:07] Horroreyes, Of course they're not in love, that's why they hate eachother! [23:07] ico666: which I believe can be used, to send to an external email address. What should I configure, so this can happen ? [23:08] is telnet manually installed? [23:08] Heebie: I actually just set up an automated ssh/cron/rsync backup. [23:08] AAA: huh, I wonder how that goes over with binary files [23:08] Works great. [23:08] :) [23:08] does telnet have a scp equivalent? [23:08] no one knows how to get rid of the notification applet? [23:08] or configure it [23:08] mako-sama, they are disabled now. When I try to enable them, all the windows flash and then the... selection bubble, for lack of a better term, goes back to no desktop effects. [23:08] soreau pretty positive it is doable. it's been a while since I've used that method [23:08] Moral_ so they had been in love? [23:08] bkadoctaj: I use rsnapshot when I need something like that. It's very useful. [23:08] oshua86: the nofication applet? meaning which one? [23:09] soreau a) learn a new tool b) find a static compiled scp [23:09] Moral_: not really, and It's said to be unsecure, so not used often [23:09] Hmm... [23:09] soreau or is wget or curl installed? [23:09] Does Gnash work? [23:09] Horroreyes, lol, well you see Flash still loves windows, but its a whore and is having an affair with all other operating systems. === Cain` is now known as Cain [23:09] Heebie: I'll have to check it out. [23:09] sebsebseb, the envelop at the top right corner, i get a little pop up windows everytime i get an instant msg or something, its really annoying [23:10] oshua86: ah yes :) [23:10] AAA: Hmm.. I have wget [23:10] Moral_ not with all... if I look on my iPhone! [23:10] oshua86:Why not just remove it from the Panel? [23:10] lol [23:10] oshua86: thats Gwibber [23:10] soreau setup apache on the remote box and wget the stuff you need. or dl it from the web [23:10] CHECK MATE! [23:10] oshua86: and me menu [23:10] Yeeeeha [23:10] sebsebseb, i did, still get notifications [23:10] Did you remove the notificication area? [23:10] where are the possible values of MonitorLayout actually documented? are they per driver? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:11] jalexbrown: this is my kind of area, since he is asking about removing features, that I don't like :) [23:11] oshua86: ok you right clicked and removed the me menu yeah? [23:11] AAA: ugh. Not going to setup an apache server just to copy a file and can't connect to the net yet (that's what I'm ultimately trying to do) [23:11] ico666: still around ? [23:12] Does anyone know how well Gnash works? [23:12] soreau *sigh* ok. we'll make this work. one sec [23:12] If it'll work with Youtube? === mzm is now known as [mzm] [23:12] oshua86: if you done it properly, since its also linked to edited fast user account switcher. If you done that properly, your shut down and log out will also be in the system menu :) where its meant to be according to upstream Gnome. Thats also how older versions of Ubuntu before 9.04 did it, and how other distros do it :) [23:12] AAA: It's no big deal. I have other avenues I can test yet still [23:12] I have a question. [23:12] profxavier: good that you have it installed. try using a simple php mail script http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/How_to_Send_Email_from_a_PHP_Script.htm and see whether it works or not. [23:12] jalexbrown: it does, but the propitary version is more seemless === jesset is now known as Guest77795 [23:13] DasEi: I'm having problems with it.

[23:14] pr0xy: Yes [23:15] Hi [23:15] oshua86: well if your not going to be using Gwibber, you may as well get rid of the other one I described as well :) [23:15] I never had Gnash installed. [23:15] profxavier: what does sendmail_path line in your php.ini file say? [23:15] AAA: I already rebooted and trying again with different method. Thanks for the help though [23:15] soreau got it [23:15] :) [23:15] oshua86: and if you are using Gwibber, by default, it will flash or something on the panel.

I need one that can help me highlight the document---for now that'd do [23:15] An_Ony_Moose: here maybe [23:15] jalexbrown: you said you had problems with it [23:15] An_Ony_Moose: Abiword :) [23:16] I'm having problems with the Adobe plugin [23:16] !pdf | Ariadna [23:16] Ariadna: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [23:16] soreau on the host $ cat /usr/bin/ssh | nc -l localhost 333 and on the remote $ nc 3333 > ssh [23:16] soreau I tried it locally and get the same md5sum [23:16] 10.1 r53 [23:16] ico666: ;sendmail_path = [23:16] jalexbrown: lucid, 32 or 64 bit ? [23:16] An_Ony_Moose: theres a PDF viewer with Ubuntu [23:16] Adam24: ^ [23:16] 10.04 64bit with the 64bit plugin. [23:16] AAA: That's awesome man [23:16] prof_away: okk ..remove the ; and do this sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail [23:17] soreau, command "lspci|grep VGA" returns "03:03.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] (rev c1)" [23:17] ico666: commented out, but I am told, if -mail- doesn't send, then there is no way mail() will send, so I am trying to work with exim4 first [23:17] err profxavier: ^^ [23:17] profxavier: set it to this sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail [23:17] is the 64 bit kernel in the 32bit repo? [23:17] pr0xy: Using which version of ubuntu? [23:17] ubottu, yes and i need an app that helps me edit it. or at least highlight some pdf documents [23:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:17] jalexbrown: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:17] soreau should work with and file, binary or not. Just make sure the remote redirects to a file or your screen will get hosed ;) [23:17] Docteh: both kernels are in the same repo [23:17] profxavier: save it, restart apache and try the mail script again. [23:17] actionParsnip: cool, thanks [23:17] sebsebseb, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/453869/Screenshot.jpeg thats the pop up at the top that im talking about [23:18] ico666: so this will allow sendmail to work? will allow php's mail() to work? [23:18] Does anyone know of an addon that will let me change the text on any webpage [23:18] profxavier: it will allow php's mail() to work. if sendmail isn't working, then your ISP is blocking the outbound emails. [23:18] sebsebseb: Do you know how to enable the builtin speakers on a 15-inch MacBook Pro under 10.04 LTS? [23:18] * AAA can't believe folks still want to configure sendmail... especially here [23:18] Adam24: no [23:18] profxavier: still, try it anyways. [23:18] soreau, I am running 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx .

Does it show anything in jockey-gtk? (sys>admin>hardware drivers) [23:20] Adam24: ask your qustion again in a bit and someone may be able to help, but as far as I know not that many people do Ubuntu on Macs [23:20] sebsebseb, i've been googling a bit and there are some that can not do what i need right now [23:20] oshua86: ah yes that [23:20] I'm downloading the Ubuntu-restricted-extras now. What are they? [23:20] soreau, I already have the proprietart nVidia drivers installed and in use. [23:20] In abiword, I'm trying to get a style to insert a page break before - but the option isn't saved after I close the window containing the related option (by clicking OK). Can anyone explain this? [23:20] oshua86: the black notifcation [23:20] When i start Lucid once, my mouse cursor's icon seems X. To solve this problem, i do this: I press System-Preferences-Apperance. Then Apperance Preferences dialog appears. i choose Visial Effects tab then select Normal. it is ok. But i dont want everytime to do try tihs way. How can i solve this problem? [23:20] oshua86: thats nostify-osd theres a setting in Pidgin if I remember correctly to turn it off, when you get messages [23:20] oshua86: well yeah a setting in Pidgin to turn it off when you get messages [23:21] sebsebseb, ahh so its pidgin [23:21] let me check [23:21] pr0xy: So what happens when you run 'compiz --replace & disown' in your terminal? [23:21] actionParsnip: whats it called? I just see linux-generic and I'm not sure how i can ask it for 64bit linux-generic as well [23:21] oshua86: no its not Pidgin [23:21] oshua86: it's Ubuntu's notify-osd [23:21] !notify-osd [23:21] !info notify-osd [23:21] notify-osd (source: notify-osd): daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications.

To solve this problem, i do this: I press System-Preferences-Apperance. Then Apperance Preferences dialog appears. i choose Visial Effects tab then select Normal. it is ok. But i dont want everytime to do try tihs way. How can i solve this problem? [23:23] Horroreyes: I am not even on Ubuntu now so :D [23:23] pr0xy: Curious, what does 'lsmod|grep nouveau' say (if anything)? [23:23] oshua86: look around the Pidgin settings, there will be a setting to turn the pop ups off [23:24] Esat: propitary graphics driver installed ? [23:24] sebsebseb, ok thanks [23:24] oh dang, they'd use the same /lib/modules folder [23:24] soreau, I can't input commands. wtf happened to terminal? [23:24] DasEi: How can i check it? [23:24] Does anyone in here know how to enable the builtin speakers on a 15-inch MacBook Pro under 10.04 LTS? [23:25] Esat: system > hardware [23:25] ok [23:25] muted? [23:25] Docteh /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ is where they will be. a different dir for each kernel [23:25] pr0xy: Just start a new terminal. You can Ctrl+C but then your wm might go down (and lose control over windows) [23:25] oshua86: np, altough I thought you were complaining about the me menu and Gwibber, but nope [23:25] Adam24: run alsamixer and make sure none are muted [23:25] AAA: yea, but i'm trying to install both the 32bit and 64bit kernel === unknown_ is now known as Samuelmc [23:26] Docteh they _should_ have different kernel names. at least I'd sure hope so [23:26] ico666 the PHP mail() failed, so I want to see if I can atleast send an internal email [23:26] Esat:or enter jockey-gtk in terminal [23:26] DasEi: it says that: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system [23:26] Docteh: you'll need a dual boot [23:26] soreau, Ctrl+C copies media, doesn't it? [23:26] Esat: fine, so just for safety back up current xorg.conf, even if empty (in terminal): [23:27] pr0xy: In a terminal, no. It terminates (or attempts to terminate) the currently running process [23:27] hi all [23:27] DasEi: where is xorg.conf file? [23:27] profxavier: install postfix [23:27] soreau, command "lsmod|grep nouveau" returns with nothing [23:27] Esat: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup [23:27] pr0xy: For copy/paste in terminal, you would add Shift, so Ctrl+Shift+C/V [23:27] pr0xy ctrl-c will copy text, shift-ctrl-c in a terminal. but ctrl-c in a terminal will kill the running process [23:27] pr0xy: Well something is wrong with your nvidia driver installation [23:28] when im alt-tab'ing in 10.04, the app windows are hidden except for the selected app. I would like all app windows to remain visiable. where do i set this? [23:28] Esat: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:28] n8 [23:28] soreau, what? [23:28] someone know this command make -C kernelsrcdir SUBDIRS=modulesrcdir modules [23:28] pr0xy: And though I don't know exactly what is wrong, you can't run compiz until you fix it [23:28] donpdonp try win-alt [23:28] Hello, has anyone had any issues with remote viewer? I can connect and I can see the host computer but the screen does not refresh. but also my keystrokes and mouse clicks register. [23:28] pr0xy: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin.com and post the link back here? [23:28] cali__: thats part of a howto, it tells you to replace kernelsrcdir and modulesrcdir with something [23:28] soreau, isn't nouveau used for Fedora? [23:28] AAA: alt-tab works except for that one annoying trait. win-alt doesnt change apps [23:28] Esat: now log off off and back in or restart gdm to see if it works now [23:29] pr0xy: No, nouveau is the open source nvidia driver and is the default on ubuntu now (as of 10.04) [23:29] AAA: i mean win-tab [23:29] profxavier: both would actually work. but i really doubt whether you will actualy "receive" it or not [23:29] actionParsnip: i was hoping to dual boot kernels but have the same 32bit userland [23:29] soreau, i'm running the proprietary drivers [23:29] DasEi: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup ,s not working [23:29] donpdonp ok. must be the compiz or something that allows me to win-tab to change windows [23:29] Docteh: can choose kernels from grub [23:29] pr0xy: I know that but they are not installed correctly [23:30] pr0xy: You have a broken nvidia driver installation and X log might give a hint as to why it's failing [23:30] DasEi: thats not the problem, the problem is both have uname -r set to the same thing [23:30] Heebie: So, you are saying that /etc/fstab automatically adjusts as soon as the partition is created and I will just need to edit grub.conf, reinstall grub and edit /boot/grub/menu.list. I can do it before I reboot to the new partition. [23:30] soreau, command "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" returns "bash: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: Permission denied" [23:30] Esat: no typos ? ? case-sensitive ! [23:30] i guess i could compile my own kernel [23:31] Esat: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup [23:31] actionParsnip: my soundcard is: HDA NVidia [23:31] lol wtf?

[23:32] DasEi: well i'm trying to have a 32bit and 64bit option available [23:32] Esat : typo!! just copy and paste from your messenger : [23:32] Esat: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup [23:32] oh i know, i'll use the 64bit deb from karmic [23:33] i already jusy copy and paste, i didnt type [23:33] Docteh: ah, I see , so you will have to rename them as initrd and also configure grub accoringly [23:33] d* [23:33] let me chech manually [23:34] Hello, has anyone had any issues with remote viewer? I can connect and I can see the host computer but the screen does not refresh. but also my keystrokes and mouse clicks register.

() and of course you will want your physical monitor(s) to be plugged into the nvidia card, not the onboard mobo outputs [23:41] sogeking99: or you can mount your windows drive to a different folder, like, mount it to /media/windows, instead of what it mounts automatically.
