[00:03] I accidentally deleted a photos folder off the desktop, and it doesnt appear in the trash can. Other smaller files I meant to delete have. Is this because the file size of the photo folder was too large and it was deleted permanently? [00:04] Argh, i can't believe they dumped py2.4 and py2.5 in Lucid. Ugh. [00:04] \o [00:04] need some help === Root is now known as Guest55761 [00:05] \quit [00:05] ChrisNZL: How did you delete them? [00:05] ChrisNZL: did you 'delete' or 'move to deleted items' [00:05] ChrisNZL, You can look at a tool like PhotoRec if you did this very recently. [00:05] I highlighted them then hit delete key. [00:06] They should be in your trash. You're sure they're not? [00:06] the sound on my laptop works fine for about a couple hours before going dead and then i have to restart, whats the problem [00:06] Yes, quite sure. It was a distinctive folder with a custom icon, so I havent overlooked it. [00:07] I will try photorec camy. [00:07] i am trying to make my ubuntu box as my dhcp server but its not really working. Does any one have one so they could help me? I have looked online and read books and no luck [00:08] They are backed up, barring a few very amusing photos from a rather inebriated get together which I am loathe to lose. [00:08] how to start again console-keymaps? i installed it using apt-get and when it finish it ask for setups and now i try to remove and install to do the setup again it won't run the setup.. help pls. [00:08] Can someone help me out, just looking for the simplest way to back up my system to an external harddrive is? i am planning an upgrade and would like to back up. [00:09] Man, no matter what I do, I cannot get the default keybindings for screenshots to work in scrotwm. I tried using the default .scrotwm.conf and also this one here: http://pastebin.com/kv10sKix. I have read the Arch Wiki page on scrotwm and nothing seems to point me in the right direction... [00:09] Hello all! I'm having some trouble getting my wireless broadcom card to work correctly on a 64bit install of 10.04. I installed the restricted drivers which I believe is the same as fwcutter but what happens is that it connects to my router but I lose internet after just a few seconds of browsing. After that I can't reconnect and the only way to do it is to restart and go through the same stuff again [00:09] lot of questions here :) [00:09] is there a known bug with the latest update of mozilla? [00:10] hi folks, is there a way to install librtmp to ubuntu live with permanent storage? [00:10] inaety: nothing showed up in the Hardware Drivers applet? [00:10] the bookmarks tab keeps freezing up on me for a while in firefox [00:10] it requires compiling, which is not possible on live system [00:10] i am trying to make my ubuntu box as my dhcp server but its not really working. Does any one have one so they could help me? I have looked online and read books and no luck [00:10] bkadoctaj: Yes, right away. And, I installed fwcutter as a restricted driver [00:10] so, if somebody make precompiled package, like librtmp.deb [00:10] will it work? [00:10] Hmm, not sure then. I figured you might have overlooked that. [00:11] Can someone help me out, just looking for the simplest way to back up my system to an external harddrive is? i am planning an upgrade and would like to back up. [00:11] bkadoctaj: Yeah, well, it wouldn't work at all without a restricted driver installed [00:11] audio and mic stops working on my dv5 laptop and the only way to get it to work is to restart, how do i fix that [00:11] kd5tkc_, you checked out a guide online for ubuntu? like http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html [00:11] I had a bout of curiosity recently and installed KDE standard package via synaptic [just out of curiosity] - I ran 1 KDE session and removed it. No real probs but a heck of an annoyance... firefox and open office now use what looks like a KDE font for menus etc [yuk! and too small]/ Any ideas on where / what to re-set / reinstall? Nothing I'm doing is working. [00:12] could I somehow get Thunderbird in the Indicator applet instead of Evolution (which I just removed from the system) ? [00:13] I don't know if this is the right place to ask, imo it's not a problem with WINE. I have an acer aspire one (native resolution is 1024x600) and I'm trying to play a game with wine (1.1.42), but it's missing a portion of the screen and for some reason the gnome taskbar is still visible even though it's supposed to be full screen, any ideas?

[01:23] can someone help with a route add issue please [01:23] never mind [01:23] lol [01:23] SIOCADDRT: No such device [01:23] but do wireless cards get "worn out" [01:23] ls [01:24] wizard_2010: what did you type, exactly....? [01:24] doh [01:24] Davin you need create a new extended parttion and then create a logical in it [01:24] Loshki, route add -net 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0 [01:24] SIOCADDRT: No such device [01:24] can someone plox tell me what file screen resolutions settings are stored in, under xubuntu 10.04 [01:24] Davin you cant convert it [01:25] Which leaves me stuck in the spot that the factory install of Windows 7 already has 4 partitions. [01:25] How can I make the ssh daemon listen on more than one port? [01:25] wizard_2010: what does sudo ifconfig ppp0 say? [01:25] Davin resize one of them [01:26] Loshki, ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found [01:26] Bam_Bam: I don't think it's possible, unless you run multiple instances of sshd and use -p ? [01:26] Hello all -> Having an issue with Lucid not resuming after suspend on an HP Probook. It worked in 9.10 [01:26] Davin free up some space on the drive and delete the partition and then create an extended === rabidweezle is now known as Type-O [01:26] wizard_2010: well that's (part of your) problem: you have no ppp0 device. It's a dialup setup? [01:27] I'm using 10.04 lts on my laptop and I can't seem to get the the sound to work [01:27] r007, Won't I then lose the system files already on there when I do so? It's using all 4 partitions for one purpose or another, though not 100% what's doing what [01:27] Loshki, this is what i was looking to do check link out been at this all day :( http://markusthielmann.com/blog/hotspot_shield_ubuntu [01:28] hi anyone tested the Lenovo mini wireless keyboard N5901? [01:28] Davin just resize the win 7 partition [01:28] Loshki, thanks. I'm running it on 443 right now to circumvent a school firewall but I didn't know if it was possible to run it on another one as well. I guess it doesn't make much difference anyways I've already graduated [01:28] Bam_Bam: I take it back. The sshd man page says multiple ListenAddress options are permitted in the config file.... [01:29] Davin there is a small risk of data loss while resizing though so backup beforehand [01:30] is cpu frequency scaling the same as stepping? and is it disableable without being root? [01:30] Wondering how I'm supposed to configure binds for an xbox 360 controller in 10.04. Kernel seems to pick up the device fine but I have no idea what software there is to control it [01:30] It's a factory install still, and I've got the recovery disks, so I can (and have already once this weekend) start over from scratch if need be. I've been able to shrink down the Windows 7 partition, but I can't find a way to then put the unallocated space into a new partition, since HP's factory install sets up 4 partitions and puts stuff in all of them [01:31] wizard_2010: step 5 should create a ppp0 device. Were there any error messages? [01:31] any one know what file screen resolutions settings are stored in, in xubuntu 10.04 [01:31] Davin: are the 4 partitions all primary [01:31] I'm having trouble with WINE. It works fine, but when I get out of it, my screen is screwed up, like it was magnified. Everything is bigger, and I can't find anyway to reset it [01:31] Loshki, oh.. I'm sorry I didn't even think to check man [01:32] Loshki, root@wizard-laptop:/home/wizard# sudo /etc/init.d/xl2tpd start [01:32] Starting xl2tpd: root@wizard-laptop:/home/wizard# [01:32] Davin from my experience it does not take the size into consideration just the filesystem so should leave ext* alone [01:32] I'm trying to set up my box as a nameserver for my LAN. I'm having trouble with getting the domain automatically searched: "dnsdomainname" returns "bar," "dig foo.bar" gets the right results, but "dig foo" gets NXDOMAIN. [01:32] Loshki, but i dont see anything happening [01:32] to the best I can tell, yes, they seem to be. When I try to create a new partition with my unallocated space, it gives me a message that the computer already has 4 primary partitions [01:32] I'm always getting "EXT3-fs:... couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features" from my self-compiled kernel; what am I missing? I've compiled ext4 into the kernel (directly, not as a module), including all optional ext4 features. [01:32] Your resolution has been changed Tao, System->Preferences->Monitors will let you change it back to the native resolution [01:32] wizard_2010: run sudo ifconfig -a and see what devices it lists. You're looking for a ppp device of some kind... [01:33] blankthemuffin: Thanks === Longhorn|XP is now known as Longhorn [01:33] Davin use gparted instead [01:33] Why is it even saying EXT3-fs? Does it not even attempt to try the ext4 driver on the fs? [01:33] Using GParted right now === Andorin is now known as AK|out [01:34] What would be the easiest way to DL all updates for ubuntu from release to now so I can update a computer that isn't connected ot the internet? [01:34] Loshki, dont have that only lo wlan eth0 [01:34] Davin: whats the output of 'sudo fdisk -lu' [01:35] FoolishOwl: I thought the domain name default gets set in /etc/resolv.conf by using a 'search' line e.g. in mine I have 'search hsd1.ca.comcast.net.' [01:35] Just had an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 fail due to some errors. It asked my to report the error/log. Where can I do that to help out? === AK|out is now known as Andorin [01:35] Euthanatos, You would need the list of packages on the destination machine.. Then download just the need packages.... === Guest-42392 is now known as TheNull [01:36] Euthanatos, A different idea is to use jigdo... With the package list from the machine..... [01:36] wizard_2010: I don't think the l2tp config worked. Are there log messages somewhere in /var/log ? [01:37] optimus55 whats in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ ? [01:37] Loshki, it could have that, but mine doesn't. I've been trying to work out how resolv.conf is generated -- it's a complicated series of scripts. But, I think ultimately it gets the domain name from /etc/hosts, where I've set it, and the command "dnsdomainname" returns the right domain name. [01:37] guys when i try to install dhcp3-common and the nfs-common [01:37] it gives me an error Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libselinux1'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details [01:37] is there a way to convert a drive from ntfs to ext2/3/4 without data loss? [01:38] As I understand, for unqualified hostnames, it should try appending the domain name for the host I'm on. [01:38] Type-O, copy to a different filesystem first... Then copy back.... [01:38] Type-O, Or backup the system..... [01:38] * Type-O nods [01:39] guys when i try to install dhcp3-common and the nfs-common it gives me an error Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libselinux1'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?? [01:39] Type-O, My perfered method is to buy a new Hard Drive.... Copy all of the data to the new drive.... Call it good... Tell the client that the old drive was infected with the NTFS virus..... [01:39] Loshki, no file name in /var/log of l2tp [01:39] HermanDE, amen [01:39] hey just ditched windows and did a xubuntu only install.. only problem is i tried to change the screen res, and now i have a blank screen when i boot up... so what do i do? [01:40] hello everyone [01:40] HermanDE, it is expected to be a fresh install (as I haven't done so yet) so i would need all packages [01:40] I can type up the numbers, but slightly excerpted....Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB____ /dev/sda1 start 63, end 2047 blocks 992+ _____ /dev/sda2 start 2048, end 409599, blocks 203776 _____ /dev/sda3 start 409600, end 949882879, blocks 474736640 _____ /dev/sda4 start 949882880, end 976771119, blocks 13444120 [01:40] I would have thought there would be a very simple way of doing this by now [01:40] HermanDE, thanks for the advise, I'll stick it all on the 500gb usb 2 drive [01:41] sda2 is marked as the boot, sda3 is the bulk of the space, and I currently have shrinking as a pending operation in GParted [01:41] Euthanatos, Just use Jigdo..... Create an ISO with all updates.... [01:41] can someone help me remove the ubuntu launchpad thing that comes when you first install it ? [01:41] okay thanks i will look at that HermanDE [01:41] FoolishOwl: my resolv.conf was generated by NetworkManager, which is notoriously buggy... [01:41] Euthanatos, No Probs... [01:42] can someone help me remove the ubuntu launchpad thing that comes when you first install it(the one that has the list of things favorites/files&folders/accessories/ games/ graphics/ ets ) ? [01:42] guys when i try to install dhcp3-common and the nfs-common it gives me an error Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libselinux1'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?? [01:42] Davin how many drives does win 7 show is it partioned into a c and d? [01:43] I'm bypassing NetworkManager by configuring /etc/network/interfaces. At least NetworkManager is automatically disabled when interfaces is configured in this release. But, my /etc/resolv.conf wasn't changed in either case. [01:43] is any1 available to help me config Polipo? nothing fancy, just want it to work with TOR, tried the config @ torproject w/ no luck. [01:43] wizard_2010: it might just log to syslog. See if there's anything in there.... [01:43] can someone help me remove the ubuntu launchpad thing that comes when you first install it(the one that has the list of things favorites/files&folders/accessories/ games/ graphics/ ets ) ? [01:43] FoolishOwl: try adding a search line. You can always take it out again... [01:44] johnnnyy, Did you do a netbook install? [01:44] I'd need to restart into it to double check, but I believe all it's showing me is C: and D:, C: being the main stuff, and D: being the rescue stuff. Dont' think it's showing what'd correspond to sda1 or sda2 through windows [01:44] Loshki, nothing in sys.log either [01:44] Huh. I'd forgotten -- /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink. [01:44] ya herman [01:44] FoolishOwl: to what? [01:44] any such things as skins for "openoffice.org"? [01:45] sda1 and sda2 should be the recovery sda3 will be c and sda4 will be a data partition [01:45] i have tried to google everywhere but ended up removing the panel which i want to keep lol [01:45] Loshki, do you no of a easier way to get hulu in the uk running 10.04 [01:45] It's a symlink to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf [01:45] wizard_2010: sorry, you've exhausted everything I know about l2tp. You can ask here every 15 minutes until someone smarter than me comes along... [01:46] I think that has to do with installing bind9 and the resolvconf package [01:46] well, not showing up on fdisk, but does show up on GParted is that sda4 is labeled as HP_TOOLS [01:46] !who, Davin [01:46] !who | Davin [01:46] Loshki, you have been a great help you ever get hulu to work in the uk [01:46] Davin: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:46] Ok.... do you have "netbook-launcher" installed? Just uninstall it.... I don't have much experience with the NETBOOk Distro... So, this may remove things you may want to keep.... [01:46] johnnnyy if its ubuntu netbook just logout and switch to gnome at the login screen [01:46] FoolishOwl: You've nothing to lose by editing in anyway, but that's up to you.... [01:47] ubottu: sorry; can do hereout [01:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:47] Davin scratch what I said then whats the labels for the partitions [01:47] wizard_2010: sorry, I'm in the US and never used hulu :-( [01:47] Foolish0wl whats your hostname? [01:48] roo7 sda1 is labeled SYSTEM, sda2 has no label but is flagged as boot, sda3 is, apparently, labeled RECOVERY in GParted but is the bulk of the drive space, and sda4 is labeled HP_TOOLS [01:49] @hermanDE i ll try deleting it @iflema i just did it and it worked perfectly! thank you so much i would have never thought of that looked through every setting! [01:49] list [01:49] Davin: well that sounds about right. Is there any unallocated space? If not, which partition is largest? [01:50] r007, it's "brian-desktop", and the fqdn is "brian-desktop.civ". (Since it's an rfc1918 address, I can just make up my own TLD). [01:50] is any1 available to help me config Polipo? nothing fancy, just want it to work with TOR, tried the config @ torproject w/ no luck. [01:50] sda3 is the largest partition, at around 450 GB, and right now I have as pending shrinking it from that size down to break off 100 GB as unallocated [01:51] roo7, I can set that up as pending to shrink, but then GParted won't let me make a new partition when I try that because of the whole... 4 primary partitions already thing [01:51] When ever i try to run glxgears it dosen't run and pops up in terminal saying segmentation fault? any ideas why this happing? [01:52] Davin: the problem is, once you change the partitioning of your drive, your win7 might not find the 'recovery' and the 'hp_tools' anymore aftwerwards [01:52] Why does ctrl-alt-del not kill X anymore? And why, when I hit ctrl-alt-del, does it not even give me the *option* to kill X? [01:52] they turned it off [01:52] Davin: as in the tools using those partitions might not find it anymore [01:52] you can enable it again in keyboard settings queso [01:53] Why does the stupid "indicator" app keep hogging 100% of my CPU? Why when I kill it does my ability to LOG OUT disappear? [01:53] Some bad decisions have been made with Ubuntu and it's pissing me off. [01:54] shoopdawoop Depending on how deep that goes, might be something I'd risk, as I do have the disks from HP to do a factory install, as well as recovery it that way. Though the last time I tried this, I messed up something with sda4 and lost the ability to boot Windows at all, which does concern me [01:54] does any1 know where I can go to get help configng polipo? [01:55] The keyboard shortcut for ctrl-alt-del says "Log out." In fact, it doesn't give me the option to log out, it gives me the option to reboot. [01:55] does any1 know why i get a segmentation fault in running glxgears? [01:56] So how do I get the "kill X" option back in my keyboard shortcuts? It's not even there. [01:57] Smntha256: I used this http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en. It worked, but I think I used privoxy instead. It was a while ago... [01:57] go > system > prefences > keyboard >layout tab > options > keysequence to kill x server [01:58] please help with Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs|lib32stdc++5 [01:58] how do I install this [01:58] !dontzap | queso [01:58] queso: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [01:58] ownsyouall, Loshki: thank you [01:59] Davin image the partitions using partimage then delete the hptools part [01:59] Loshki: I'll check it out, thx. If it doesn't work Ill use privoxy...then be back asking why privoxy isnt working! :) [01:59] wizard try removing the | between them [01:59] Smntha256: :-) [01:59] Davin: looks like you can remove the recovery partition without breaking your win7 install http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00608578#N2208 [01:59] please help with Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs|lib32stdc++5 [02:01] OK, I just did an update (libpoppler and libgnomekdb4) and now compiz has stopped working. Compositing is broken. [02:01] Davin: depending on how lucky you feel, I would delete sda4, shrink sda3, then recreated sda4 as 'extended' and install ubuntu to it. You may also need to add a swap partition... [02:01] please help with Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs|lib32stdc++5 [02:01] wizard_2010: where did that message come from? [02:02] test [02:02] Loshki, A app called sopcast-player [02:03] r007, partimage seems to only work on certain file formats, at least according to GParted, HP_TOOLS is listed as an unknown file system [02:03] Davin ahh so its not ntfs sounds like HP's suck [02:04] shoopdawoop I do like the sound of that... esp as in theory if one OS breaks, I'll have one working to get stuff off still, I think, and I've got the recovery disks to do a full reinstall if I have to [02:04] dd if/dev/zero [02:04] r007, I've firmly come to that conclusion about HP at the moment as well, since they're being annoying about this [02:04] wizard_2010: installed from repos, or source? [02:04] Davin: I have a hp laptop that came with all this recovery hp_tools and whatnot bullshit. decided I wont bother with it and did a complete reinstall with my own paritioning [02:04] dd if=/dev/zero [02:05] duffydack: careful with that command, you can wreak havoc if you get it wrong... [02:05] Loshki, no output..so its ok [02:05] Loshki, from a website i donwloaded the file then tried to run it got the error [02:05] Loshki I think I may well go the test of luck and just hope I don't kill the laptop too badly later. May just have to be extra careful on keeping it backed up [02:05] Loshki, I think what I should do is add a "dns-search foo.bar" line to the static configuration in /etc/network/interfaces and see if that does it. [02:06] FoolishOwl: dns-search is not documented in my version of the os (8.04).... [02:07] FoolishOwl: try dns-nameservers {ip address} instead ;) [02:07] Loshki, nor in the man page for 10.04, but I've seen it mentioned elsewhere. Documentation sometimes lags. [02:07] greezmunkey, the nameservers are fine. [02:08] wizard_2010: it sounds like it's meant for a 32 bit os, and you are running a 64 bit os. Is that right? [02:08] FoolishOwl: in /interfaces that is... [02:08] Loshki, 64 bit is right [02:08] Davin: found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1400095 [02:09] FoolishOwl: lags across two lts releases? That's hard to believe... [02:09] Loshki, when i do it for 64bit i get error rror: Dependency is not satisfiable: libstdc++5 [02:10] My indicator-applet was constantly using 100% cpu, so I killed it, and reboot. Now it's gone off my panel. How do I get it back? My volume control is gone now. [02:10] wizard_2010: does 'apt-cache search libstdc' find anything that looks useful? [02:10] Davin: bottom line of that forum thread is: delete the hp_tools partition and restore it later [02:10] <|ns|nR8> queso, rihgt click on task bar, add [02:10] so dont delete the recovery partition :) [02:11] hi im a young aspiring musician...what is the best way to generate noises of actual insturments without spending 2000 on protools? [02:11] |ns|nR8: thx [02:11] linux_is_my_hero: you might want to ask in #ubuntustudio [02:11] shoopdawoop That looks like exactly the thing I've been searching for, thanks [02:11] Loshki, check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/452713/ [02:11] !ubuntustudio | linux_is_my_hero check this out [02:11] linux_is_my_hero check this out: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [02:13] wizard_2010: looks like the package is built for an older version. You could try installing libstdc++6 instead, but you might have to plant links to make it look like libstdc++5 [02:13] is there a utility that would allow me to scan documents (in the regular scanner AND in the automatic document feeder) and then specify which directory to save it to, what format to save it in, all that [02:14] Loshki, would nt [02:14] white_magic: gscan2pdf might do it for you, or vuescan, but in general, the linux scan stuff isn't as good as the windows stuff, sorry.... [02:15] Loshki, would not have a clue how to mate going to hit bed lol 2.14 wit work tomorrow have to give up to tomorrow lol thanks alot [02:15] white_magic, Take a look at Sane.... [02:15] thanks guys :-) [02:15] k [02:15] wizard_2010: ok, good luck... [02:15] Loshki, thanks [02:16] hi guys, is there any way to restart the wireless connection in ubuntu trough ssh command? [02:16] Loshki: funny thing, I couldnt find anything like i wanted on Windows, so I started looking for Linux equivalents so I could maybe see if any such project was ported to windows [02:16] white_magic: :-). HermanDE is right, take a look at sane/xsane.... [02:17] do you know which app in windows let you do things like pass a commandline argument that would specify which directory to save all documents that WILL BE SCANNED [02:17] but yea i'll look at that one [02:17] Azh /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:17] white_magic: for windows help, ask in #windows.... [02:17] yea i did, some time ago [02:17] some application similar like cheese in kde? [02:17] didn't receive much help [02:17] roo7 do I just input that into the terminal, or is it a file i have to edit [02:18] sorry i'm a newbie [02:18] Azh into the terminal [02:18] okay i'll try it [02:18] sudo first, right? [02:18] Azh: r007: don't forget the sudo first [02:19] white_magic, Do you use Ubuntu.... If you did you would find that sane works very well... [02:19] thanks [02:19] Azh no ssh would usually be logged on as root [02:19] Loshki ssh [02:19] thanks for the help, now it looks like I've got to dart out and buy a USB drive that'll handle the task, but hopefully I'll be dual booting by the end of the night if this works [02:19] white_magic, command line scaning in windows is almost forbidden..... [02:20] r007: I don't *allow* root logins via ssh, actually... [02:20] white_magic, Take a look at creating a VB script.. [02:20] hmmmm [02:20] good idea [02:20] Loshiki I use ssh with servers [02:20] great idea, in fact [02:20] weird, i the network connection didn't restart cause I didn't log off irc [02:20] i want to restart the wireless network connection [02:20] Azh, Or it restarted faster than you thought.... [02:20] but without getting disconnected from irc? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:21] r007: me too, but I don't allow root logins, I force them to login as a user with an ssh key and then sudo.... [02:21] Azh you might have to sudo on a desktop === Davin is now known as Davin|SupplyGet [02:21] so it's not possible from ssh? [02:22] argh, i have to connect my montitor to my ubuntu box everytime [02:22] Loshki apart from the username you think it makes much more difference to security? [02:22] Azh: you might be able to do sudo ifconfig down wlan0; sudo ifconfig ip wlan0 (or something like that) to bounce only the wireless interface [02:23] Davin|SupplyGet: still there? [02:23] r007: to be honest, not really. The biggest difference has been moving sshd to a non-standard port. Pretty much cut down probes to zero... [02:23] Davin|SupplyGet: I might be mistaken, but if your notebook has a cd-drive you won't need an usb stick? [02:24] Azh: sudo ifconfig up wlan0 <--- oops. Up, not Ip [02:24] thanks loshki, I'll try that too [02:24] shoopdawoop The instructions seem to require taking stuff off there... would it work just moving it to my main HD for now? [02:25] Davin|SupplyGet: the ubs is only to boot from, because that specific model doenst have a cd drive [02:25] strange when I do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart it only restarts my firestarter firewall and not the network connection itself [02:26] hello [02:26] you can store the hp_tools partition on one of the other partitions (boot from live cd, mount those partitions, store hp_tools somewhere else) [02:26] Shoopdawoop Ahhh.... in which case, I'll go grab my Ubuntu disk and do it that way, then, thanks === Davin|SupplyGet is now known as Davin [02:26] good luck [02:27] hey, i have xubuntu, and the panels are not showing up and the panel configuration contion does not work [02:27] Its getting wheres its easier to just buy a 2nd hard drive for a new laptop and put linux on that. and keep the oriignal HD with all the 'recovery' junk, somewhere safe..

[02:30] Azh or sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0 [02:30] so for example /themes/default copies to /themes/default1 [02:30] thinkfast: use the mv command,. [02:30] Azh should be wlan0 Im half asleep [02:31] hey roo7, i think is eth1 for me, i'm still trying to figure it out [02:31] what does ifconfig show? [02:31] thinkfast: do you want to move or copy? 'man mv' or 'man cp' [02:31] but i wont the /themes/default to remain [02:31] copy [02:32] then use 'cp' [02:32] thinkfast: cp -r default default1 ? [02:32] Azh: wireless interfaces are usually wlan.... [02:32] does anyone use tp_smapi with kernel 2.6.34? [02:32] they don't seem to work together, and I was wondering if there's a way around it [02:32] I did iwconfig and the wireless is eth1 [02:33] Azh does it have an inet address? [02:33] Azh inet addr even [02:33] hmmm I don't see it [02:34] so weird why is my wireless eth1 when it should wlan0 [02:34] you did iwconfig not ifconfig nvm > need to wake up me [02:35] Azh what does ifconfig show? [02:35] does anyone here dual boot OSX and Ubuntu with grub2 as their only bootloader? [02:35] it shows eth0 and eth1 [02:36] eth0 is my wired [02:36] and eth1 is my wireless [02:36] Azh which one has an inet addr? [02:36] both do [02:36] now when i try sudo ifdown eth1, it says its not configured [02:37] Azh both have an Ip v4 ? [02:37] yup [02:37] I can't restart eth1, so strange [02:38] hello, [02:38] i am new to this os [02:39] !manual | adebaba [02:39] just wanna know [02:39] adebaba: 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/ [02:39] OK, I just did an update (libpoppler and libgnomekdb4) and now compiz has stopped working. Compositing is broken. [02:39] anyone else with this problem? [02:39] what if i want to print [02:39] docs [02:39] do i need to install the printer driver [02:40] Azh maybe rerun your firestarter setup [02:40] Hello. [02:40] adebaba: depends on the printer. It auto-installed the needed drivers formy printers here when i added it using the system -> admin -> printers tool [02:40] iok [02:40] sorry [02:40] i'm gonna keep unpluggin my orinoco card and plugging it back in, that restarts the wireless, but I wish I could do it trought the os [02:40] meant ok [02:41] but my question basically is this [02:41] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should [02:41] i am currently runing a cyber cafe [02:41] and am tired of viruses [02:41] roo7, I know it should, but only restarts firestarter [02:42] attacking windows today and tomorrow [02:42] i should've done the iptables without firestarter, firestarter is such a pain [02:42] Azh exit firestarter you dont need it running its just a gui for iptables [02:42] and i am thinking of migrating to this lovely os [02:42] wanna [02:42] know [02:42] adebaba: you can burn a dozen+ live cd's and put them in every machine. so you can test the os out if you want to. with no changes to the box;s [02:42] roo7, I exited the gui of firestarter, but I think the firewall might still be running [02:42] !enter adebaba [02:43] !enter | adebaba [02:43] adebaba: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[02:44] adebaba: but why does a Cybercafe need a 'workgroup' ? [02:44] i meant how do i create a workgroup for the comps on the network, and how can i share [02:44] Grrr, it just starts firestarter again, lol wtf [02:45] cos i share some resources among the comps [02:45] adebaba: with windows box's you install and configure 'samba' and set up windows type shares [02:45] a total linux network can use NFS instead of samba, or other ways. [02:45] okay [02:46] most cafe billing softwares aint come in linux [02:46] Azh sounds like firestarter has modified the networking script in init.d [02:46] Question; I'm going to do a fresh install of Lucid on my macbook. What steps can I take to ensure I can access the drivers for the airport wireless (not included with 10.04 installation) if I have no means of connecting to the internet? Is there a way I could access the source code for the drivers on an external while running on the live CD and install it? Bassically I have no means of physically connecting my system to the net and would [02:46] really like a connection while installing from the live CD [02:46] No idea on cafe 'billing' [02:46] can one run a windows version on this os [02:47] roo7, yeah looks like it, but maybe I need it to keep the ports open? [02:47] how can i hide window title bar, i can only configure it, but i would like to turn it off? [02:47] im using kde with ubuntu [02:48] Azh firestarter only makes changes to iptables [02:48] anyone have any idea on how to change the domain that sendmail is using to send out emails? [02:48] please one more thing, what is the name of this os am using now [02:48] hello [02:48] Azh iptables is always running regardless of firestarter [02:48] adebaba: we dont know what you are 'using' now - You can connect to irc from any IRC client.... what did you do to start/boot the pc? [02:48] i downloade it from ymlf.com and burn it onto cd [02:48] what do I do roo7? uninstall firestarter? [02:49] OK, I just did a system update (libpoppler and libgnomekdb4) and now compiz has stopped working. Compositing is broken entirely. Anyone else have this problem? [02:49] Azh maybe let me see... [02:49] adebaba: and what did you download? If you are running your own cybercafe - you really should be paying attention to such things. [02:49] it seems linux has different version, and that is why i like to know [02:50] the os i installed on my pc now [02:50] There's many operating systems built upon Linux. Yes, there are many. [02:50] adebaba: correct theres 100's of linux distrubutions.. we CANT tell what you are using. [02:50] adebaba: so you need to pay attention to what disrto you downloaded and installed.. [02:50] so, how do i know? [02:50] System > About? [02:51] adebaba: err... LOOK at the web site and the links you downloaded from? if you downloaded some iso file.. it proberly has some filename thats a hint.. [02:51] r007, also when I do sudo ifdown eth1 to try to stop the service it says, interface eth1 not configured [02:51] ok will do that now [02:51] brb [02:51] adebaba: if you want 'ubuntu' you shoudl be gettting uit from the ubuntu.com sites. [02:52] ^incredible. i don't know how you downloaded an OS, mounted the .iso on a disc, and then installed it, but don't know which distro! [02:52] hmm looks like it has something to do with roaming [02:52] heyhey... trying to get the webGUI working on my crunchbang box and I keep getting a 403 error. any thoughts? [02:52] Azh what about wlan0 [02:53] sorry... with Transmission [02:53] Azh sounds like your pc might have onboard wireless and the adapter you are using [02:53] PDG1: crunch bang is not even based on ubuntu any more last i checked.. [02:53] Dr_Willis, whaaat? really? [02:53] r007, samething interface wlan0 not configured [02:53] can someone point me a a good nfs howto? I found this one for v3, but it hasn't been updated since 2006: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/index.html [02:54] I'm really hoping to find something of that quality for v4 [02:54] and 100% sure it doesnt have onboard wireless [02:54] PDG1: and in any case its not an 'offically supported here' ubuntu variant - even if it was still based on ubuntu. [02:54] just my orinoco card [02:54] Dr_Willis, install was exactly like the Ubuntu install [02:54] PDG1: check crunchbang homepage. Im pretty suire they switched to Debian [02:54] Azh: what are you trying to do? [02:54] PDG1: could be you are on an older version. [02:54] 12345678 [02:54] mmc_? [02:55] shoopdawoop, I'm trying to restart eth1 [02:55] grub always fails to install for me when trying to install Lucid to my MacBook. [02:55] nvm [02:55] Dr_Willis, maybe... any idea why transmission might do that tho? I did just install apache, think that has something to do with it? [02:55] ifdown and ifup doesn't work, neither does sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:56] Azh what does lshw -C network show? [02:56] PDG1: as far as i know those apps dont require apache to have a web interface.. im using the latest 'transmission 2.00' version from a PPA also.. so its hard to telll [02:56] it is called YLMF OS [02:57] i think is developed by the chinese [02:57] Dr_Willis, yeah...I was trying to get fluxtorrent-b4rt to work and I got tired of looking at outdated tutorials and decided i was going to revert to tried and true transmission. now it's not working :( [02:57] the windows look alike? [02:57] roo7, it shows a bunch of stuff were you looking for something in particular? [02:58] it shows my wireless as network 1 [02:58] with the ip adress and everything [02:58] Dr_Willis, and #! ships with rtorrent which is good... if i could remember how to use it. [02:58] adebaba: never heard of it.. its not ubuntu. so its basically not supported here. [02:58] PDG1: takes me all of 20 sec to install rtorrent on ubuntu.. i dont see much need for #! basically [02:58] and my wired as network with the adress [02:58] PDG1 assuming apache is running 403 are generally caused by no default index being present i.e index.html, index.php etc [02:58] It's based on Ubuntu: http://www.ylmf.org/en/ [02:59] assuming duh me what would be returning the 403 lol [02:59] linbox,i think so [02:59] i have sound problems when playing video.. any other sounds made by th system are just loud static [02:59] Dr_Willis, i liked how it felt like Ubuntu and the small resource hunger [02:59] hi, my first time here how do i go about troubleshooting [02:59] ymlf is just skinned to look like windows [02:59] what could be the problem? [02:59] cos it has ubuntu softwre centre [03:00] adebaba Yes, the website claims it is. [03:00] Azh yeah whats listed as the logical name when you do lshw -C network [03:00] adebaba Your best bet is to install the original Ubuntu over it. It's better supported and easier to work with. === root is now known as Guest7378 [03:01] Dr_Willis, do you have any suggestions for a small distro i could use instead that is easy to set up SMB ? [03:01] r007, I think i figured out, i found this info: As far as I am aware the ifupdown scripts only work with the /etc/network/interfaces file. So if your interface is not defined in there it won't be able to find it. Instead Network Manager is in control of all network interfaces by default [03:02] Azh ahh sounds logical [03:02] I formatted some drives in gparted and now they won't let me write to them [03:02] what do I do from here? [03:03] PDG1: samba is rather easy to set up on most any disrto. [03:03] PDG1: for small 'footprint' theres xubuntu and lubuntu . [03:04] fade_: what filesystem did you format them to? [03:04] ext2 [03:04] so I can still use them in windows [03:05] Dr_Willis, would you believe that i tried both of those and didn't like them much. but it might be because i tried 9.04... should i try an earlier one? [03:05] fade_ are they mounted what errors do you get when trying to write and how are you writing to them? [03:05] fade_: then you need to apply the normal 'linux' permissiomns and modes and ownership to the files/dirs on teh filesystem to let them be accessable by users [03:05] no mount errors [03:06] ahhh [03:06] fade_: mkdir /media/whatever/usersstuff [03:06] so I will have to gksudo? [03:06] fade_: chown /media/whatever/ users name [03:06] then change from root [03:06] to anything else? [03:06] ok I know this is kinda silly to ask in the ubuntu channel but... NFS server, ubuntu or debian base system? [03:06] you will need to do this as root yes.

[03:14] PDG1: but shouldn't be overly different (it's a regression if it is).

[03:17] What a kubuntu channel? [03:18] gbillings yes [03:18] lol yeah 4 primary partions [03:18] away you go [03:18] r007 what order should i install them in [03:18] Whats a Kubuntu room? [03:18] gbillings windows always first the rest dont matter [03:19] r007 alright will grub2 pick up all of the OS's? [03:19] hii [03:19] hii [03:19] gbilling to be on the safe side install the latest distro last byt it should do [03:19] also, why do programs like boot-up manager and synampic not adhere to my theme choice? [03:19] r007 alright i wil do so! [03:20] ok could someone assist.. this is a new one by me... i just installed ubuntu netbook 10.04 and its actually running SLOWER than windows... graphics are laggy... ive never experienced linux being slower than windows before... perhaps somethings wrong? [03:20] The guys at BP stopped to oil leak! [03:20] dopple whats your gfx card? [03:20] erm [03:20] hold on lemme take a look [03:21] Yeah, they put a wedding ring on it, and it stopped putting out. [03:21] r007, how do I add an interface to /etc/network/interfaces? but without any changes to the interface itself [03:21] how to force unmount usb drives? [03:21] would I just add auto eth1? [03:21] r007: well lspci doesnt say much about it other than its an intel graphics card [03:21] or just "eth1"? [03:22] not to be a jerk, but does anyone have any idea for my questions? I wish IRC had a special beep for when someone used your name in their response :-P [03:22] there is, the_e [03:22] get a good client [03:22] lol [03:23] lol [03:23] I'm using Trillian on my Windows PC while messing with Ubuntu on the other [03:23] trillian.... thats not an irc client.. thats a IM client that can connect to irc servers lol [03:23] Azh not sure I understand [03:23] its an EVERYTHING client :-P [03:23] and the most elegant solution I've found so far since I think Pidgin is crap [03:23] r007, I want to add eth1 to /etc/network/interfaces [03:23] dopple what version of Ubuntu are you using? [03:24] hi all, i have a question, I lost the ability to see in the task bar things that have been minimized, any idea how to get that back? [03:24] starwatcher, you need to edit your panel [03:24] pidgin is awesome [03:24] the_e: imho its a crap client.. its bulky as all hell [03:24] it's not in there, [03:24] r007: 10.04 netbook [03:24] it is, but pidgin runs like a poorly made AJAX script [03:24] I use colloquy [03:24] it's nice, I like it [03:24] I want something with more Windows integration (which I love about Ubuntu and whatever it uses) [03:25] the_e what do i need to turn on? [03:25] add auto eth1 [03:25] then add iface eth0 inet dhcp [03:25] hold on one sec [03:25] iface eth1 inet dhcp * [03:25] pidgin 'colorized names' thing sucks for ircthough. half of you are pale palge green on white. [03:25] got it, thanks r007! [03:25] * Azh highly recommends r007 [03:26] Azh thnx [03:26] r007: im not sure im happy with 10.04... no desktop is kinda dumb [03:26] cumm in my butt [03:26] dopple any restricted drivers available? [03:27] r007: restricted drivers? [03:27] starwatcher I can't find it right now, but I think its in admin > preferences > panels and you drag it in [03:27] i recently upgraded my router to a buffalo, and i can't connect to it via wpa. it keeps asking for the network key over and over (worked with an old netgear one) [03:27] it should have minimizes windows to panel for the description, I did the same thing you did [03:27] system > administration > hardware drivers dont know how you do it from terminal [03:28] is there a way to see the real time table value modifications of a db in postgresql ? [03:28] no proprietary drivers in use [03:29] I've gotten rid of the normal menus and replaced them with carprio(sp?) and it doesn't have teh same menu options and searching "panels" only brings up Java 6 panel, natch [03:30] the_e where is admin>preferences. panels aaat? [03:30] im wondering if going back to the last version of ubuntu would be better.. not having a desktop is not cool [03:30] I didnt like the netbook version [03:30] dopple not to sure tbh but there seems to be some issues with intel chipsets and 10.04 [03:30] it had problems with bottom margin setting for me [03:31] the_e well arent they optimized for netbook hardware? [03:31] like 1/6 of the application launcher menu would go past my monitor resolution and i couldnt scroll to it [03:31] Hey, If I want to ensure I can get on my wireless network when doing a fresh Lucid install from a live CD? I have no means of making a physical connection to my internet. I see how to install the drivers here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Lucid#Wireless but that would require a net connection >.< can I somehow download the source now to a partition and then access it from the live CD and compile it? [03:31] they are, but in my experience it didn't make much difference except be more of a pain in the ass [03:31] what's your specs? [03:32] Hi guys, I am running 10.04, and found "The Gnome Panel" to be an issue, specifically after running some system updates, it did work well after the initial install though - for the time being, I am using KDE, which seems fine.... [03:32] erm... i really dont know.. its an acer aspire one 751h [03:32] I mean, I wouldn't even recommend Ubuntu if the specs were too low [03:32] especially teh netbook version, lol [03:33] Hi there, have an ubuntu 9.04 server. apache and php are installed, but php files are not executed, apache sends then directly to the browser.. How can i trouubleshoot this? [03:33] wlady what issues and what updates did you install [03:33] im sorry starwatcher i really can't find what im looking for [03:33] can you right click on the panel and is there an "add" option? [03:33] guess ill try going back to an earlier version... im not too happy with 10.04 [03:33] ok thanks any way [03:34] r007 - I installed all updates using the update agent, and what I am finding, is that the Gnome Panel will not render entirely after bootup, and also the Gnome panel will intermittantly freezwee.

What can you do once you get off the command line in the terminal (tt1 for example)...I can't use the command line on it. I can type, but can run commands. It's just a curser. [03:51] julian_, i think its because its still running a process..but im also a noob [03:52] the_e you still there? [03:52] Gryllida, sorry 'Home is 30GB' [03:52] julian is it asking for a password? [03:53] You're probably right Zelozelos. r007, no, I'd already logged in. [03:53] I'd like to know how to "cancel" the various terminals I have running as well. [03:54] julian exit [03:54] ic, yes. I used htop to terminate screen and now i have access to the console. I've seen people split screens in terminal, etc. How do I do that? [03:55] Thanks r007, all I had to do was kill the process. [03:55] julian i think most people who do that use terminate [03:55] julian if your running top or a man press q [03:55] hey there. [03:55] valbaca...terminate?...is that a program? [03:55] i need help getting ubuntu booted. [03:55] julian split screens I dont know [03:55] r007, i used htop :-) === AndIrc is now known as Guest34580 [03:56] can anyone help out?

[03:57] julian i meant "terminator" [03:57] well, it starts to load, gets to the ubuntu splash screen and then freezes [03:57] Juanto, you probably need to configure your BIOS to boot from cd-rom. [03:57] nooo [03:57] i've got it installed [03:57] but like i said, it freezes after the splash screen [03:57] and I can't get grub to let me into recovery mode. [03:57] i'm at a loss right now.

I should mention that I already ran update-rc.d -f gdm remove and it didn't help [04:42] shwouchk, use update-rc.d -or-, /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:42] xxiao_: did rc.d and didn't work [04:43] xxiao_: meaning I still get it at boot [04:43] imyousuf one think ubuntu is bad with is power management Ive had to disable apic on all laptop installs and no moniyor utils actually manage the battery [04:43] but laptops are shit [04:44] r007: well, I have currently set power management to blank the display [04:44] but suspending is very basic functionality required with laptop usage :( Any idea how to get it to work? [04:45] or how I could help debug the problem so that someone could fix it? [04:45] imyousuf from my experience with laptops and Linux its been because the bios is crippled [04:45] shwouchk, have you checked gdm symlinks under /etc/rc*.d [04:46] hmmmm. [04:46] r007: hmm, strange it works with older Asus, Dell, Acer laptops only the latest Asus laptops that the problem is with :( - so updating the bios would solve it? [04:46] update-rc.d really should work, otherwise it's a bug i think [04:46] !bug | imyousuf this may help.. normally suspend/hibernate problems is some bug [04:46] imyousuf this may help.. normally suspend/hibernate problems is some bug: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [04:46] at the very least I recalled an easy way to compile kernels, which I can't find now [04:47] imyousuf I know this is a lame answer, but be sure to install the most recent updates. with new laptops, there isn't much to do besides wait for drivers to be added to the kernel [04:47] !flash [04:47] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:48] r007: apic or acpi? apic isnt power management related [04:48] r007: also, watch your language [04:48] imyousuf: you only think suspending is very basic because you've never had to decipher a poorly written BIOS ;-) [04:48] is there a log of the devices that connect to my wireless network? [04:48] maco acpi yes [04:48] I would just like to thank whoever came up with the brilliant idea of disabling the grub prompt at startup [04:48] maco language? [04:49] Ashex: hold shift after POST [04:49] r007: the s word you used above. "but laptops are ____" [04:49] loopidity check your router's documentation. it's usually found in the settings 192.168.0.1 [04:49] maco ok sorry .. but they are [04:49] xxiao_: I have checked... It is started by upstart automatically [04:49] r007: but swearing isnt allowed here [04:49] call them pooey. [04:49] need to ad video in my ipod pls help [04:49] need to ad video in my ipod pls help [04:50] imyousuf: to get a power management bug fixed, file a kernel bug: ubuntu-bug linux [04:50] imyousuf: also follow this to get the info to attach to that bug report: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend [04:50] gerber https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [04:50] HI! I just need some help with sharing the Internet connection sharing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1514078 [04:50] greetings, having issues with localhost/127.0.0.1 only responding when a network device is up. [04:51] valbaca my wireless network is created by me, so i do not even know the AP [04:51] hi everyone [04:51] Alan502, if you have UFW installed you could use that to do it. (i also believe that the network-manager has some support for it ) [04:51] loopidity do you mean you're using internet sharing from your computer? [04:52] Two part question. Hopefully, these are both quickish answers. 1) To create a new extended partition that will be subdivided into logical partitions in GParted, do I select the entire free space and then break it up after that? 2) For setting up Ubuntu, does the formula of / of 20 GB, swap of 8 GB (I've got 4 GB RAM), and the remaining as /home sound sensible? [04:52] <]Alex[>  CIAOOO a tuTTi da ]Alex[  [04:52] i have a ppp0 connection and the wireless is created out of it valbaca, if that makes sense [04:52] hello, does pulseaudio, alsa have something like ASIO in windows? === CaNoc1 is now known as CaNoc [04:52] Davin yes select all the free space and create an extended... [04:53] Davin then create a logical within [04:53] Davin 2) yes, you'll find with 4GB of RAM the swap will be used very little. you could get by with 4 or even 2 GB [04:53] r007, Ok good, the first part seemed like that was how it would go, but wanted to check. [04:53] anybody ever installed Flying angel UMTS USB modem on Ubuntu? [04:53] Alan502, ah i see, windows actually has an option to bridge two network devices when you highlight them both, or you can get properties of the wan device and choose to share its connection [04:54] loopidity yes that makes sense, i'm going to do some searching to find an answer [04:54] has anyone tried win7 theme? [04:54] greetings, having issues with localhost/127.0.0.1 only responding when a network device is up. [04:54] Ray78 i installed hdspa/umts usb for infostrada [04:55] valbaca Yeah, from what I've read, it seems it's not going to get used too much, but figured I'd err on safe side as Ubuntu alone is getting 128 GB between those three things, and since I'm using this for science research, I figured i'd err on side of having more space for swap to work with than less since I don't think a couple gig one way or the other will hurt me for data storage [04:55] HI! I just need some help with sharing the Internet connection sharing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1514078 [04:55] loopidity, anything from the software center i need to installed [04:55] airtonix it will only respond when a network device is up as something putting it in laymans has to answer the door [04:55] Alan502_, you should really ask this question in #windows [04:55] Davin I agree then. 8GB swap sounds good then [04:56] airtonix, hmmm i think it has to do with setting up my ubuntu host use the virtual machine as a gateway [04:56] Ray78 when you connect the usb, does it load? [04:56] airtonix, did you read my post? [04:56] Ray78 maybe a cd drive comes up, or something [04:56] r007, ok, if for example i disconnect all wifi and unplug all lan cables... i can not : ping localhost, or access http://localhost. reconnect any network connect (regardless if it gives me internet access) then localhost responds as expected [04:57] valbaca awesome, and 20 GB should be plenty for root then? My first Ubuntu experience so not entirely sure yet on the importance of that, so making sure I'm set from the start [04:57] loopidity, the CD only came with MacOX .pkg folder.. i dont know if that can be use [04:57] Alan502_, yes, have you already tried to use the standard methods to share a network connection in windows ? [04:57] airtonix and thats normal as you have no network connection [04:57] r007, no its not. [04:57] airtonix, yeah, i've done what would normally work on a physical network [04:57] valbaca: Thanks, we already did apt-get update and upgrade, but to no avail [04:58] Ray78 i mean, when I put my usb, a virtual cd rom auto loads, [04:58] anyone have a suggestion for good bash command for checking whether a package is available in a repo? My best: $ sudo apt-cache showpkg foo | grep 'Package: foo' [04:58] airtonix localhost or not what do you expect to cary your network request carrier pigieons? [04:58] airtonix, seriously i feel like i'm missing only the last step!! [04:58] Ray78 anything like that for you? [04:58] Davin I would put more. remember, all your programs, var, tmp, etc. all go under / [04:58] maco: I do understand that implementation is difficult but the feature is basic ;) [04:58] loopidity, yup.. got the Cd mount [04:58] r007, you understand what localhost is ? [04:58] local or external you stll need network services [04:58] so do you? [04:59] airtonix, i think its kind of a problem with the interface, since it's not using eth0 but vboxnet0 [04:59] r007, 127.0.0.1 should work regardless if i have a network connection. [04:59] maco: will follow the wiki link and create a bug, thanks for the direction! [04:59] Ray78 the eject the cd rom(by right clicking) but do not remove the usb [04:59] loopidity, i browse the CD (mounted) and find .pkg folder for MacOS but nothing for linux [04:59] no it wont [04:59] imyousuf i agree that it is basic, but unfortunately there is a lag-time between new laptops coming out and being able to be fully usable under linux [04:59] r007, it always has for me [04:59] loopidity, ejected [04:59] airtonix, any ideas? [05:00] you need a network interface otherwise your machine is stand alone [05:00] Ray78 wait for a few seconds and it should remount [05:00] r007, i dont think you actually understand what 127.0.0.1 is [05:00] lol [05:00] loopidity, yup.. remount to TF-UMTS MMC Storage [05:00] I actually do I dont think you understand what uses 127.0.01 [05:01] 127.0.0.1 even [05:01] r007, aritonix is right, you don't need a network whatsoever when 127.0.0.1 is used [05:01] valbaca, particular number you'd recommend? some of the online stuff I was finding was ranging 10 to 20 GB, but system sizes always going up put stuff out of date over time. Does another 10 GB go far enough, or would I not be at any disadvantage if I just had seperate partitions for root and for swap, but not for home (as some things say I can do) so that I don't have to guess the space it needs ahead of time? [05:01] what do you think it sends out on your cd-rom? [05:01] i need help trying to get my tv to display ubuntu [05:01] Ray78 now does anylight flash? [05:02] loopidity, yup.. [05:02] anyone in here have experience with wireshark [05:02] Hi guys :) [05:02] how do i edit the xorg.conf [05:02] what is this software channel? [05:02] Alan502_, its been a long time since i used windows, but i do remember that you need to have both the lan and the wan devices appearing in network-places for windows to offer the ICS feature [05:02] Weeeee [05:02] googolplex, on windows [05:03] when I install skype this says me to new version on software channel? [05:03] how can I go to software channel? [05:03] Alan502_, do you see the vboxnet0 device in network-places ? [05:03] what is this? [05:03] airtonix: Just do this. [05:03] When using VMware with NAT and my ETH0 firewalled with iptabels, this automaticly makes my NAT connection secure for windows right ? [05:03] you need a network adapter to use localhost [05:03] and there for I don't need any firewall on windows os ? [05:03] Davin most of the time I don't even bother with giving /home its own partition, that way its just / and swap [05:03] I'm trying to play hedgewars with some friends.... but game isn't even starting... as in nothing happens [05:03] airtonix, windows has a wizard called "home connection" or whatever, but i already set it up so it would share its internet connection [05:03] ideas? [05:03] Googolplex a little bit, did crack my neighbour's wep [05:03] or a network connection [05:04] how do i edit xorg.conf [05:04] airtonix, yes, it is on windows connections :) [05:04] effff [05:04] loopidity, what should i do next.. how am i supposed to dial from here [05:04] Ray78 right click on the the network manager on the top panel, is there Mobile broadband? [05:04] Alan502_, so now you just need to have ubuntu use vboxnet as its default gateway [05:04] airtonix, not as vboxnet0 though, windows names them Local Area Connection #1,2,3.... [05:04] airtonix, exactly! [05:04] anyone good with configing nvidia gpus? === Spliffeh is now known as Xenox [05:04] airtonix, i don't know how to do it though :( [05:04] hi, can anyone help with my network connection? For some reason, Ubuntu recognizes the two Ethernet cards I put in, but refuses to connect. Could this be a hardware problem, or is this a software problem? [05:04] I uninstaled the game... and reinstalledbut still... _nothing_ [05:04] Alan502_, when you use ifconfig does vboxnet0 have its own mac address ? [05:05] Wow. [05:05] Traveler1 /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d maybe [05:05] loopidity, not in the detected list [05:05] loopidity, - be careful what you say as to illegal content please we do not promote illegal activities in anyway [05:05] any ideas ? [05:05] airtonix, let me see.. [05:05] I've even rebooted [05:05] but still... epic fail [05:05] Alan502_, also check that it has an ip address (it should in theory be 10.0.2.2) [05:06] this is illegal what im asking for? [05:06] Traveler1 nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf (case might not be exact) [05:06] Traveler1, what makes you think that ? [05:06] someone sad that [05:06] has anyone tried win7 theme [05:06] valbaca Alright, thanks... then if it doesn't make much of a difference, I'll just do swap and / and not try and do /home as a separate partition. Easier on me if it won't be a problem for me [05:06] !ot | swtchrly08 [05:06] swtchrly08: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

When I am in a local tty though, the keyboard arrows don't work as intended. Help? [05:07] airtonix, yes, i can give you a pastebin of my ifconfig if you want :) [05:07] why is it that after changing to ubuntu after linux-mint that I'm stll experiencing error like there's no tomorrow??? [05:07] where else would i ask this it is a theme for ubuntu [05:07] Pr3nt1c3: ? [05:07] swtchrly08: Not a support question, so #ubuntu-offtopic [05:07] Alan502_, no its fine, what you need to do though is create a network connection with network manager in ubuntu with the ip address of vboxnet0 as your gateway. [05:08] Ray78 Systems-->preference-->network connection [05:08] I've tried starting hedewars like.... 15 times now.. but I can't even get an error msg [05:08] swtchrly08: Also, there is a TON of Windows-7-like themes out there, not just one :P [05:08] lmao htf can you think you can do network communication without an actual network connection [05:08] wtf s going on? [05:08] airtonix, so network connections>wired>add [05:08] loopidity, there is a tab for mobile broadband in the Network Connection [05:08] !language [05:08] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:08] airtonix, and i have to put the mac adress of vboxnet0? [05:08] hi, can anyone help with my network connection? For some reason, Ubuntu recognizes the two Ethernet cards I put in, but refuses to connect. Could this be a hardware problem, or is this a software problem? [05:08] Alan502_, so assuming the vboxnet0 is 192.168.56.1, you would set a "manual" adress of : 192.168.56.10 subnetmask : 255.255.255.0 gateway : 192.168.56.1 [05:09] this may be a dumb question, but do i need to worry about the order of the partitions? either swap before / or / before swap? [05:09] loopidity, i already put in the detail in there but i dont know how to use [05:09] hey im lookin for someone with experience with wireshark just have a couple general questions [05:09] Alan502_, it would help narrow the connection down to the device to use. you can enter the mac address on the first tab. [05:09] Googolplex: Well, ask them, if someone knows, someone will answer. [05:09] Davin dont matter [05:09] in wireshark is it possible to analyze packets over the network from more than just your own machine? [05:09] r007 thanks, making sure the final leg of this goes smoothly, so im being cautious [05:09] Alan502_, you'll also want to insert opendns dns server ip address in the dns server field : 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 [05:10] !wireshark | Googolplex [05:10] as long as your Linux partition is / [05:10] any one in here uses vmware ? [05:10] !wireshark [05:10] Hm. I have /dev/sdb1 immideately followed by /dev/sdb3, no /dev/sdb2 whatsoever, what gives? o_O [05:10] I'm back! [05:10] hydr0tux: I do [05:10] airtonix, ok thats a lot of help, thanks!!! trying it now [05:10] Ext3 didn't help [05:10] theadmin, partitions of the drive [05:11] shwouchk, do you know much about NAT ? [05:11] I am using ubuntu in a VM. When I'm in gnome or in ssh, keyboard works fine. When I am in a local tty though, the keyboard arrows don't work as intended. Help? [05:11] hydr0tux: not much. What is your question? [05:11] airtonix: Well, how come there is first and third but no second? :/ I guess that's because I just deleted the second one lols, let's see if replugging it will help [05:11] how do I get hedgewars to run in lucid? [05:11] shwouchk, I'm using Ubuntu linux as my main os with iptables. [05:11] shwouchk, and installed windows xp on vm [05:12] how do i force screen res [05:12] hydr0tux: oh, iptables are hard [05:12] wouldnt listen to a thing airtonix has said prsonally [05:12] shwouchk, would that automaticly protect my windows ? [05:12] Yeah it works... Hm. Whatever :D [05:12] hydr0tux, no its not LOL [05:12] hydr0tux, I wrote my own rules, it works good. [05:12] hi, can anyone help with my network connection? For some reason, Ubuntu recognizes the two Ethernet cards I put in, but refuses to connect. Could this be a hardware problem, or is this a software problem? [05:12] dooglus, google wireshark it is kinda off topic here there are lots of great tutorials out there you need to go to torrents and do a search for wireshark and download the book there is a lot to it [05:12] hey any1 good in podcast programs? [05:12] hydr0tux, all I need to know is this, will my windows box be behind iptables too? [05:12] he thinks you dont need a network adapter for network communication [05:12] hydr0tux: yes [05:12] shwouchk, since I use NAT right ? [05:12] hydr0tux, to someone who hasn't written them before it is overwhelming ... specially compared to ufw rules [05:13] hydr0tux: yes [05:13] shwouchk, thank you :) [05:13] shwouchk, how do you disable gdm under upstart? [05:13] that all I needed to know.

I have set-up permissions, user-groups, and related stuff... but all I get i a quick 'flash' on the screen before nothing happens [05:17] jdsbluedevl: have you tried disabling one of them?

[05:18] nvclocknoob: No, it just can't find the directory where you try to mount. Also, you mount NTFS devices using another command, like this: "sudo ntfs-3g PARTITION MOUNTPOINT" [05:18] r007, never mind then :) [05:18] hydr0tux, I've got hedgewars installed.... and I've re-installed it 2x..... but I can't play [05:18] ok, so I have windows 7 and xp installed, xp is installed on the drive in questions. Right now I'm in 7 though. Do you know how I would diagnose if it was raided? Would I have to do it from xp? [05:18] Pr3nt1c3, what exactly you trying to do mate?

[05:19] loopidity, there is a tab for mobile broadband in the Network Connection [05:19] you have too love the response yes then 10 mins later when they have actually done it [05:19] Pr3nt1c3, oh yeah, don't do games sorry mate. [05:19] Ray78 add [05:19] Ray78 see if that shows the usb drive [05:19] jeruvy: ok, well, I'm in the Network Manager, what now? How do I disable one of the cards?

[05:20] any one using XChat here ? [05:20] loopidity, cant see the device [05:20] shwouchk, so far the safest way to disable gdm is rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to anything else, e.g. gdb.conf.noexec [05:20] hydr0tux, just about everyone [05:20] ohhh ty the [05:20] airtonix, how do you hide all this messages * [05:20] why is this so hard im so sick of this is there an easy way to et my tv to conect with my PC as my monitor [05:20] airtonix, its anoying as hell [05:20] Ray78 how is the light on the usb flashing? [05:20] shwouchk, so far the safest way to disable gdm is rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to anything else, e.g. gdb.conf.noexec [05:20] hydr0tux, what messages ? people joining and leaving ? [05:20] airtonix, yes [05:21] loopidity, constant blue color flashing [05:21] jdsbluedevl: try right clicking on the device and selecting disable. Not sure if thats the correct wording. [05:21] hydr0tux, right click on the room entry and select hide join/part messages [05:21] vane: ill try. do u have any partitions like windows [05:21] xxiao_: but the way I did it, I will still be able to start it manually if I want [05:21] jeruvy: no such option [05:21] airtonix, lol that was easy, thanks maty [05:21] Ray78 that means it is registered but not connected [05:21] hydr0tux, 50% of the noise gone [05:21] jeruvy: I'm right-clicking on Auth eth0, but no menu comes up [05:21] exactly :) [05:21] Ray78 who is the provider? [05:21] my eyes where flashing here lol [05:22] Ray78 click on Add and follow the steps, [05:22] zeronice1, i have windows on other disk, on the disk with linux, i have swap partition, system partition and home partition [05:22] hey all, is anyone here using bazaar? [05:22] jdsbluedevl: does it have an enable check box? [05:22] airtonix, very good nickname choice as well :D [05:22] jeruvy: no [05:22] how do i use nvclock? [05:22] jeruvy: wait a sec [05:22] i guess theres no hope for me [05:22] Ray78 see how far you can get, you will need some details of you provider, you can easily go and ask them if you need to [05:22] shwouchk, that's good then [05:22] I whant to use utf8 in latex. in a header I will use this line: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} witch pakage do I have to install in lucid lynx? [05:23] jeruvy: oh, I have to go into the editing menu [05:23] airtonix, thanks for the chrome finding [05:23] airtonix, you python coder ? [05:23] gtg [05:23] xxiao_: but I definitely agree it is intrusive and annoying... I wish there was a way to manage it [05:23] loopidity, i manage to setup the connection as the provider is listed [05:23] xxiao_: have a good one [05:23] loopidity, how am i supposed to be dialing it [05:23] can we have some server questions please [05:23] jdsbluedevl: ok, I wasn't sure exactly how it would look. See what that does. [05:24] Ray78 great, so the connection has been set right? [05:24] jeruvy: ok, deselected "connect automatically" on Eth0 (connection is on Eth1), no luck [05:24] Ray78 now rightclick the network manager on panel [05:24] No one for helping me to get my drive to format? [05:24] jeruvy: is restarting network-manager enough, or does it require a reboot? [05:24] Ray78 do you see the mobilebroadband connection [05:24] I promise I'm running out of questions here... for file system, and given that I'm dual booting with Windows 7 and will want to have at least some access from one to the other, is ext4 fine to use? I've seen stuff mentioning programs to access ext2/ext3, but ext4 isn't mentioned. Don't know if it's just old info or if ext4 isn't as accessible [05:25] hydr0tux, yes [05:25] :) [05:25] Davin use ext3 [05:25] jdsbluedevl: no, simply enabling or disabling the connection is enough. If eth0 doesn't change try the other way. I assume you have a valid connection on one of the devices? [05:25] once /dev/sr1 is ejected, is there a way to plug it back without physically removing the usb device? [05:25] why does ubuntu have to be so hard [05:25] loopidity, that is the bad part, not in the panel list.. even when i setting up the provider, it seem like dint detect the USB at all at the first screen [05:25] jeruvy: yes, I do have a valid connection, tested it on another computer [05:26] Alan502_, did it work ? [05:26] Good morning! :) [05:26] loopidity, seems like i'm missing something on the initializing part [05:26] r007, thanks. And does it need a label as I set it up with GParted, or just instruct Ubuntu that is to be / partition when installing? [05:26] jeruvy: switching doesn't help [05:26] Ray78 with the usb plugged in, try restarting ubuntu (cause mine works only after restarting) [05:26] jdsbluedevl: ok verify you have an address and ping your router on either device. [05:26] Traveler1 put it into context imagine your missus said why does it have to be so soft which is better [05:27] Ray78 I am assuming you have added the device correctly [05:27] ok.. will try [05:27] ?? [05:27] jeruvy: but you gave me a good idea. I'm going to remove one of the cards and see if I have a connection. [05:27] why cant someone try to help me [05:27] airtonix, i already made the interface, i'll connect the modem now brb [05:27] jdsbluedevl: I mentioned it because on [05:27] jeruvy: you mean ping it from my working computer or my nonworking Ubuntu computer? [05:27] has anyone had trouble using the USB installer creator? [05:27] Traveler1, whats your problem?? [05:27] labels are for your use only but it will need to be / [05:27] loopidity, the adding part is not correct i think, as the USB not recognized as a modem [05:27] jdsbluedevl: from the non-working connection. [05:28] ok, how do I ping it? [05:28] hello === lo is now known as Guest15327 [05:28] Ray78 you could ask your provider with the details of your connection [05:28] im trying to connect my tv to my computer via DVI but i get a message saying that res isnt correct but i cant change it [05:28] loopidity who is the provider? [05:28] jdsbluedevl:' ping
' from a terminal/shell [05:28] loopidity, Digi from malaysia [05:29] jeruvy: oh, nvm, I see where you're coming from. I don't have a router, as the connection comes directly from the university [05:29] jeruvy: they don't allow routers [05:29] lol [05:29] Ray78 were you able to find Digi on the list? [05:29] Ray78 i m on ubuntu10.04 and i see them [05:29] gpart isnt loading..i ran the command and it said it wasnt installed..i just installed it [05:29] Devin labels are for your use only but it will need to be / [05:29] loopidity, yup.. its listed, the AP all all other info are automatically listed [05:29] jeruvy: and even so, what address? [05:30] ranjan get my last message? [05:30] jeruvy: I'm guessing 127.0.0.1 is not the proper address, right [05:30] ? [05:30] jdsbluedevl: try 'ifconfig' from a terminal to verify your address [05:30] Ray78 that looks good, did you restart and see [05:30] vane: its hard for me to tell you what to do because im not sure what ur sister did. if i were you i would google what the grub prompt your getting actually is and why it could be showing up.maybe even booting into a live cd and trying to see what could have happened in there [05:30] Ray78 make it connect automatically [05:30] loopidity, ok will do now [05:30] could be good [05:30] telnet localhost 25 [05:31] jeruvy: no addresses in ifconfig [05:31] jeruvy: one sec, I see two, but they're under lo, not eth1 [05:31] no need for a network connection there oh no lol [05:31] hopeful final question... i take it swap has the filesystem that contains swap in the name? [05:31] jeruvy: I see 127.0.0.1 and 255.0.0.0 [05:31] 127 is the addr [05:31] can anyone help me figure out how to get my sound card to work [05:32] jeruvy: ok, I'm pinging 127.0.0.1, what should I be seeing if it's working? [05:32] jdsbluedevl: verify which device is up and plugged in (eth0 or eth1) then from a terminal type 'ifup eth0' [05:32] is it muted? [05:33] ...my sound card? no [05:33] vane: this could help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:33] i just pinged your ip and it is good [05:33] sometimes it is..but if there is no speaker icon it's not installed and started [05:33] zeronice1, thank i will check =) [05:33] jdsbluedevl: or ifup eth1 whichever you are using thats enabled. [05:33] i have a speaker icon, sound comes in extremely distorted and cracky [05:33] jeruvy: apparently neither, as both are giving me permission denied, then when I tried sudo, it says "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1" [05:33] what sound card? [05:33] vane: sorry i couldent help u more and good luck [05:33] Hello , How can I stream music/videos on my xbox 360 from ubuntu 10.04? And maybe for music have playlists if that's possible. [05:34] sound blaster xfi extreme gamer [05:34] Are any file system/ubuntu installation pros around? besides you r007 [05:34] zeronice1, relax =) [05:34] are you overclocking or have an onboard card enabled? [05:34] ping 127.0.0.1 [05:34] im not overclocking and i disabled the onboard sound card, at least i think i did [05:34] jeruvy: and again, what am I supposed to see in the ping? [05:34] make sure the onboard is disabled first [05:34] jdsbluedevl type this and give us your output lshw -C network [05:34] Hi all, I have a problem with wired networking: since an update of Lucid a month or so ago it does not connect to my network any more when booting. This is a major problem as authentication is over the network so network must be up immediately upon boot. Manually running 'ifup eth0' (as root) brings up the network easily. This used to be automatic until I ran an update. [05:35] see if it responds [05:35] under sound preferences it its disabled [05:35] r007: I have to transfer via thumb drive, give me a few minutes [05:35] good, but it shouldn't be detected..disable it in bios...but since it's disabled it shouldn't interfere.. [05:36] i pinged it so it is good [05:36] hmm [05:36] jdsbluedevl: you should see results. However you need to get a device to grab an address. If eth1 isn't working try eth0 [05:36] airtonix, still there bud? [05:36] distorted all that time? or just in a certain application? what ersion ubuntu? [05:36] all the time [05:36] and let me check the version (im really new to ubuntu) [05:36] kk [05:37] jeruvy: well, I'm getting something that says "64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=X ttl=Y time=Z ms" [05:37] iwconfig [05:37] hydr0tux, yes [05:37] 10.04 LTS [05:37] airtonix, did you get any of my msg [05:37] same, but i had issues with my sblive first off a while ago when 8.04 was the first version i came across [05:37] jdsbluedevl: thats a localhost connection, not a network connection [05:37] jeruvy: then I don't have a network connection [05:37] now it just detects and runs [05:38] my sound card is detected under sound preferences [05:38] Hi there o/ [05:38] now what drivers have been installed for it..ubuntu usually just loads alsa and that works [05:38] after re-inst everything to do with hedge... it's now working... [05:38] thanks for the help ** [05:38] i dont know how to check that [05:38] jdsbluedevl: correct, if 'ifconfig' shows no address you need to manually bring it up using 'ifup', if that doesn't work I'd be looking at the network to be the issue. Perhaps your uni needs something specific to hand you an address. [05:39] hmm [05:39] r007: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/452766/ [05:39] can I find in this channel some support for Empathy? [05:39] airtonix, i found out it doesn't work :\ i'm starting to suspect it is something that it didn't do well on the virtual machine [05:39] ifconfig will give you the ip if you are connected or otherwise just your local ip in which is 127.0.0.1 [05:39] like my sblive says it's using alsa [05:39] Is there any other ubuntu gui apps like avant window? [05:39] airtonix, i noticed i cannot be connected to the vboxnet0 connection i created and eth0 at the same time, though? [05:40] down my usage tracks [05:40] isw: cairo-dock [05:40] "default mixer tracks" [05:40] if i go to sound preferences under applications it says alsa plug in [05:40] bastid_raZor: thanks [05:40] jeruvy: no, it was working fine and dany 2 weeks ago. Then the network sharing that I was using for my Roku got borked, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu, and now no Internet connection [05:40] and the rest are auto detected? [05:40] jeruvy: and when I plug the connection into my MacBook, it works quite well [05:41] the rest of what, under applications in sound preferences thats all i see [05:41] yes, there.. just making sure something hasnt changed there [05:41] r007: did you get the pastebin? [05:41] yeah all i see is AlSA plug in [05:42] Hi, does anyone know about an open source windows pptp client ? [05:42] kk [05:42] mf_417, what is pptp? [05:42] Ray78 did that help? [05:43] aaaaand partitioning stopped Windows from being able to start again... [05:43] How do you launch a process from terminal, and not lock up the terminal?

[05:45] bastid_raZor: Thanks [05:45] alright, it runs fine under windows [05:45] hiexpo: When you launch a process the terminal won't take any input until that process ends. [05:46] hiexpo: disown takes care of that [05:46] What's the site where you can copy and paste information onto?

[05:46] Hello, does anyone know why, when installing from a Lucid Live CD to a macbook, grub-update would fail? Each time I try to install when it gets to 93% and runs grub-update if gets that fatal error. I continued the installation without the bootloader. I am trying to make this a dual boot machine with Ubuntu and OSX. When I hold alt on startup, the ubuntu partition shows as "windows" and when booted from, just brings me to some [05:46] grub 1.9something bash like command line interface. When I boot from the OSX partition it can't even see the linux partition except in disc utility. Again, what would cause grub-update to fail? Do I need a internet connection to install Lucid from the live CD? >.< Can I install grub from OSX in someway so I can boot the linux system? [05:46] i wish i could go back and pick another of the 3 drivers i had an option to picking, but i duno how to get back to that option, the system > admin > hardware drivers doesnt come up with anything for sound card, just for graphics [05:46] hiexpo: Yea, but then you have to leave that one open the whole time.. not really optimal heh.

[05:52] and it's plugged into the green port correct? no damage to the wires? [05:52] bastid_raZor: thanks a ton again man this is very very nice.

"The ext4 file system creation in partition #6 of Serial ATA RAID [lettershere] (linear) failed." Happens with both ext3 and 4. afaik the drive is not part of a raid array, I only plugged it in yesterday. It has one partition on it already which is ntfs.trying to format unallocated space. [05:55] HermanDE_: Would installing rEFIt on the OSX system allow me to boot the linux system? [05:55] try installing "alsa mixer" via add/remove software..the gui version [05:56] some people have had results messing with the volume slider there [05:56] anyone know where to get the drivers for ATI [05:56] lol okay how do i do that [05:56] is xubuntu faster than ubuntu? [05:56] Suit_Of_Sables, My experience of Linux on Oldworld and NewWorld Macs are well established... The new IntelMacs are a big black hole for me.... [05:57] I think i have a bad make installation of a program. How would i clean it up? Just go in and start deleting willy nilly? Or is there some method to it? [05:57] ubuntu_, Yes, of course, only on tuesdays, When the moon is high and a sweaty beer is in the left hand.... That should answer your past few questions.... [05:58] Leemp, make clean [05:58] topics [05:58] Leemp, Or was it shoddy from the "make install"? [05:58] Jeebs, from gparted? [05:59] This is just during installation of ubuntu [05:59] HermanDE_: I think it was a shoddy install. I've got a python2.5 that i have no idea what put it there (i was trying a few different things) [05:59] Hi all :) problem with NVIDIA restricted drivers in Lucid ....Ny help?? [05:59] HermanDE_: Either way, my working py2.5 install, at /usr/local/python2.5 is *not* the same as my /usr/bin/python2.5 [06:00] Jeebs, use gparted in live session see what you got~ always partition then reboot be4 the actual install ~ [06:00] hi [06:00] hey guys [06:00] alrighty [06:00] how to assicoate vuze to torrents [06:00] HermanDE_: So i fully want to purge the /usr/bin/python2.5 variant, and then make a link from my working one to the /bin location [06:00] i tried asking this in xubuntu but noone has an answer [06:00] i need drivers for an ati card where do i get them from [06:00] its not the default === Kinch is now known as Kinch2 [06:00] how do i manage what services start up with the pc in xubuntu. i have googled for it and someone asked the same question in the forums and there is simply no answer [06:01] Why does kubuntu crash all the time? [06:01] is there a way to reinstall the drivers for it? [06:01] well its using alsa [06:01] ranjan: Describe your nvidia problem more precisely please so that others can help. [06:02] Kinch2: I don't have that problem [06:02] is there different versions of alsa [06:02] Izinucs, care to tell me a bit about your hardware? [06:02] Kinch2: are you using Karmic or Maveric? [06:02] which is like a linux emulater, that support a wide range of cards [06:02] bullgard4, its with the plymouth [06:02] is KDE faster or GNOME [06:02] Karmic [06:02] have you updated recently? [06:02] yeah [06:02] k then it shuould be up to date [06:02] bullgard4, the plymouth resolution gets lowered after installing nvidia restricted drivers [06:02] and it gave me 3 options to choose sound card drivers [06:02] Leemp, Wow.... [06:02] Kinch2: AMD 4500+ .. 4gigs ram.. 3 harddrives.. nvidia gforce 8200 motherboard and video etc. etc. [06:02] i chose one and went from no sound to this crackling sound [06:02] add/remove software is under applications btw [06:03] HermanDE_: lol [06:03] and have you disabled surround sound? [06:03] Izinucs, Hmm pretty different from what I was running it on, you're on karmic? [06:03] no [06:03] Leemp, That is an amazing push.... Ubuntu is dependent on a version of Python.... Uninstalling/modifying can get ugly... [06:03] try disableing surround sound [06:03] where would i do that at [06:03] HermanDE_: Lucid doesn't even come with 2.5 [06:03] you made need the alsa-gui [06:03] Kinch2: yep.. one quirk with my motherboard is it won't boot a live cd or the system without pci=nomsi in the kernel boot line [06:03] I whant to use utf8 in latex. in a header I will use this line: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} witch pakage do I have to install in lucid lynx? [06:04] Leemp, The make install will attempt to modify paths.... [06:04] ranjan: I do know that other people experienced the same problem. Look it up in Launchpad please. [06:04] Leemp, Then things start to get ugly.... [06:04] HermanDE_: That's why i was installing it. Those jerks removed 2.4 and 2.5 from the repos heh [06:04] i need to d/l it myself lets do this d/l the alsa-gui via the add/remove software under application menu [06:04] Izinucs, I couldn't figure out anything I was doing wrong, it was a vanilla install and although I could successfully install it I was getting crashes for every other program I opened [06:04] HermanDE_: I don't get what the problem is? Ubuntu relies on 2.6, right? [06:04] alsamixergui? [06:04] hello, how can i mount a dd image of a hard disk with the read only option enabled? [06:04] someone please help me im trying to find drivers for my system [06:04] Kinch2: you should try opening some of those crashing programs from cli and see if there is any indication as to why === _rwc is now known as _rwc_afk [06:04] bullgard4, its a famous bug and found all over the internet :) [06:04] Leemp, That is the beauty of Ubuntu/Debian.... Next time install the debian version.... [06:04] "gnome alsa mixxer" [06:05] colde89: texlive-latex-extra [06:05] bullgard4, but the workarounds i tried is not working [06:05] Line, -o ro [06:05] maco: thanks, I will try [06:05] Kinch2: are you using a "store bought" machine? [06:05] hey guys [06:05] Leemp, Sure.... It's been awhile since I compiled /make/installed python... It used to fsck with my paths.... [06:05] HermanDE_: Odd, out of all the Googling, no one suggested a debian version heh [06:05] thanks Izinucs I'll try that, yes its a sony laptop circa 2003 [06:05] dan both i believe [06:06] please save me: my apache is having an environment TZ=America/Chicago! why is it not following the local timezone? [06:06] HermanDE_: I don't get what it might have screwed with though. python still runs py2.6 [06:06] ranjan: Hm. In that case I suggest that you report it in Launchpad so that it is documented for the developers. [06:06] Kinch2: have you tried googling it with model # and "kubuntu" to see what pops up? [06:06] Leemp, (Insert really smart ass remark here) ... :) [06:06] I have a program crashing which is trying to send sound to a sound card, the problem is there is no soundcard, is there a way to route all sound output to /dev/null or something [06:07] Lint01, sudo mount -o ro loop,offset=1048576B backup.img /media/backup/ [06:07] Lint01, will that work? [06:07] HermanDE_: ? [06:07] Izinucs, ya, nada [06:07] Line, -t loop [06:07] Leemp, It should be easy to go through the make file and see what was installed/where.... [06:07] !sound |Knat [06:07] Kinch2: how 'bout on the forums? [06:07] Knat: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [06:07] Leemp, Do a surgical strike.... [06:08] Leemp, Take care that the python 2.6 is not using it.... [06:08] Leemp, The make file should be easy to read... Look for the install section... [06:08] HermanDE_: So where would that be? Are you saying that to uninstall something, you need the source installation files? [06:08] Kinch2: I gotta ask.. even though it sounds like you've probably already done it.. have you tried a full sys upgrade with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? [06:08] Leemp, that's a danger of source installs [06:08] Leemp, If you installed using the source.... The you should uninstall using the source.... [06:08] Regarding sound issues, the problem I had was that alsamixer had muted, or turned down the volume on the main out [06:09] Leemp, Sometimes there is an uninstall in the make file.... [06:09] Try alsamixer in the terminal and see if you need to just crank the volume [06:09] Leemp, try "make uninstall" [06:09] Izinucs, ya, I had high hopes for an update [06:09] Kinch2: how much ram do you have? [06:09] 2 GB [06:09] Kinch2: should be enough.. 32bit or 64? [06:09] HermanDE_: So, you're saying that debian installers work just as good as ubuntu repos? [06:10] 32bit [06:10] Kinch2: DOH! '03 machine should be 32 [06:10] HermanDE_: I've never been told that :/, it's always been either use a repo, or compile it yourself [06:10] KDE is fairly resource intensive I suppose, but I would see it crawl not crash [06:10] Izinucs, I think I may just install KDE in an ubuntu install and go from there [06:10] someone help me [06:11] Leemp, Ubuntu is based on Debian.... The DEB package is exactly the same..... [06:11] Traveler1: with? [06:11] Traveler1, you made it to IRC [06:11] Leemp, Even deps are dealt with the same..... [06:11] Kinch2: if you do, don't install the entire kubuntu-desktop.. just the kde WM [06:11] it feels cool to have a PC without windows [06:11] Leemp, DEB... Yes, that is Debian Packaging.... [06:11] Izinucs, right. [06:11] HermanDE_: Man, bizarre. [06:11] why would something not let me click install [06:11] im lovin ubuntu... now i gotta learn how to work it thru the terminal [06:12] Leemp, Nope... Just history..... Ubuntu is a fork of Debian that feeds back to Debian..... [06:12] HermanDE_: Yea i know, but i literally, have *never* seen someone say "just go grab the debain repo package" [06:12] Traveler1: can you elaborate more? [06:12] !terminal | jkalex05 great howto here : [06:12] jkalex05 great howto here :: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:12] HermanDE_: I mean, people are making crap deb installers of their own, in launchpad repositories.. [06:12] Regarding debian packages, I have had the problem when installing packages made for debian that the debian repos have newer versions which your package may depend on [06:12] Leemp, It's just a bit obvious to some that have been here for awhile..... [06:12] dan are you still with me? [06:12] HermanDE_: Why are they doing that if they can just use the deb repos. [06:12] yeah im here man [06:13] both programs do the same thing [06:13] HermanDE_: I am honestly flabbergasted heh. [06:13] i think gnome enables more features [06:13] Izinucs, thanks for your help I should look closer at the debug info in the console [06:13] Kinch2: I run "u" on my laptop and "k" on the desktop.. With the latest updates on both I have a hard time deciding which to focus on.. I do like the new kde desktop despite what some say.. integration with gmail, calendar is a bit problemmatic but semi functional.. akonadi server and stringi give me occational issues. [06:13] Leemp, Welcome to the forks of OS's..... :) Back to that smart ass remark above.... [06:13] It happens so often that I figure it must have been something I dide [06:13] HermanDE_: Alright, well on that note, why is it not advised for me to use a python2.5 from Karmic? [06:14] but you should be able to disable or mute or decrease the volume of various surround sound settings..like center and 3d..etc [06:14] Izinucs, I've used KDE in other environments and it beats gnome hands down for efficiency [06:14] Leemp, Debian has a very slow release cycle.... But the releases are high quality..... Ubuntu is on the bleeding edge.... Some packages are worse than others..... [06:14] HermanDE_: I've been warned not to. Wouldn't Karmic be even closer than a Debian repo? [06:14] quit [06:14] yeah [06:14] bullgard4: I'm running ubuntu on a remote server, I don't have any xwindows installed. I am running some software and outputting it to xvfb. The problem is its trying to also output sound, I need to set up a fake sound card device that just dumps everything thats passed to it to /dev/null, Gnome has a device snd-dummy which is availible while gnome is running, i was wondering if theres another way [06:14] Kinch2: if it's a vanilla install then most likely it incorrectly assigned a driver or something [06:14] I just installed 10.04, I have a dual digital tuner, nvidia gpu. Haven't installed nvidia driver yet. I want to set up Mythtv. Do I need Nvidia driver. everythin seems to be workin fine with the default driver/ [06:14] Izinucs, that's gotta be it... [06:14] try disableing /muteing "surround" [06:14] Leemp, Sure..... You have a choice.... If one fails, try another..... [06:15] My guess was the ATI driver so I tried installing a different version with no success [06:15] i also notice that both my sound cards are enabled..and using each other as well [06:15] Leemp, Or create your own package..... Very easy.... [06:15] if i mute then i get zero sound [06:15] Kinch2: check dmesg and see if there are any errors after a crash as well [06:15] one over rides the other.. [06:15] if i mute surround sound that is [06:15] ?? [06:15] if i mute surround sound, i get no sound from anything [06:15] Kinch2: or on boot for that matter. [06:15] then your plugged into the blac/surround sound jack..or have a system hooked up to your pc? [06:16] Leemp, I reserve compliling to systems that I can't get prepackages and would be a complete PITA to create a package for..... [06:16] um i dont think so, ill check on the back [06:16] i sent you a pm btw [06:16] Leemp, In my case I have 2 systems across 6 servers, 10 workstations that were a PITA to package.... [06:16] ah [06:16] hey guys, i am running xubunut and it doesn't have the services manager that ubuntu does. i need to have smbd and nmbd start automatically with my pc, how can i do that via command line? [06:17] HermanDE_: What makes things a PITA to package? [06:17] Anyone know the URL for the bug tracker?

[06:18] Does anyone know the name of the package that does the notifications? :P [06:18] Leemp, Crazy make files that require custom precompilied binaries from vendors to even think about working.... At least in these two cases... [06:18] Emry: notifications being the little bubble things that pop up on occasion, or the icons in the panel? [06:18] I was using Zimbra in windows. Should I move to evolution or stay with zimbra in ubuntu [06:19] rww: The bubble that pops up all the time, every time anything happens online and blocks what I am working on from view. :P The little icons are fine. ^^ [06:19] :) [06:19] Emry: notify-osd [06:19] Leemp, put " &" after the command. If you don't want the command to quit when the shell (terminal) is closed, put "nohup " in front as well. [06:19] Hey, I tried gparted to format my drive [06:20] no deal [06:20] rww: Thanks. I will search for info on that first and see if it is behavior I can tweak. :) [06:20] HermanDE_: So, can i simply add various debain repositories? Or should i install these things by downloading them first? And on that note, if i have multiple sources for a single package (ie, python2.6), how do i deal with that? [06:20] Knat: May be googling for "dimmy sound device" will help you. I do not know. [06:20] Knat: May be googling for "dummy sound device" will help you. I do not know. [06:20] how do i use nvclock? [06:20] Leemp, Your choice.... You could use apt-pinning and put in other repositories as you choose.... Create your own repository for custom stuff.... [06:21] Hey all. How does one go about mounting partitions automatically on startup? [06:21] Leemp, The pinning will enable you to set one as very high priority.... And another to completly ignore unless called for.... [06:21] clao: I make another script that uses xterm to start your script [06:21] Leemp, a more advanced program to manage more programs through your terminal is screen, it is worth checking out [06:21] Fanshawe, check out /etc/fstab [06:22] !fstab | Fanshawe [06:22] Fanshawe: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[06:24] HermanDE_, I suppose I am not 100% clear on the difference between a terminal, a shell, a terminal emulator, virtual terminal, etc... [06:24] colde89: i dont know, i just know that the package i named before is the one that provides that package you were including [06:25] so noone here know anything about nvclock or where add/remove installs stuff like that/ [06:25] wildbat: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/sS9XnNwi [06:25] nvclocknoob: /usr/bin/nvclock? [06:25] maco: ok.. [06:25] hmm [06:25] jibbles, A shell is an execution environment. This a command interpreter. [06:25] cant say i've used it [06:26] HermanDE_: I dunno, running into dependancy issues at the moment. I'll have to dig through this stuff tomorrow. "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.5-minimal (= 2.5.2-15+lenny1)" [06:26] jibbles, A terminal usually refereed to access to a shell. [06:26] Im trying to install duke nukem 3d [06:26] HermanDE_: And when trying to install minimal, it says a later version is already installed, so it won't install [06:26] i used command [06:26] wget http://apt.duke4.net/key/eduke32.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [06:26] ok, so a terminal connects the user (or process) to the shell (interpreter) [06:26] Leemp, Yep.... You might want to try the version from Debian Squeeze.... [06:26] it said wiritted to stout [06:26] now what? [06:26] HermanDE_: Is that the latest? [06:26] jibbles, That would be a good way..... [06:27] sorry im a linux noob [06:27] Leemp, Yep..... [06:27] Is anyone willing to help me configure my wireless adapter on 10.04? [06:27] Does anyone know where to adjust the settings for notify-osd? :P All the info I see is to the effect of "Here is the spec" or a page saying "We want more notifications please" When honestly, I am wanting to make them less obtrusive. :) [06:27] Leemp, Or you could try karmic.... Choices are wild.... [06:27] Jeebs,paste sudo fdisk -l [06:27] Emry: as far as I know, there aren't any [06:28] HermanDE_, if e.g. xterm is a X terminal emulator, what is a real terminal, and where is the object code or binary for it? [06:28] jibbles, Most people confuse a terminal and a shell.... in most situations it can work as the same.... [06:28] HermanDE_: So what i'm seeing is i can expect failure heh. Would a better option simply be making my own packages? [06:28] rww: :/ I did see a notation saying that apparently the Kubuntu community is going a different direction with it. If I can't alter it, and I can't remove it, then it basically leaves me two choices, and neither are optimal. [06:28] whats wrong w/ ur wireles adaptor? [06:29] jibbles, This goes into the history of Unix..... [06:29] Erm, well I guess I can read about it :) [06:29] Leemp, Sure.... That would be another method..... [06:29] Emry: you can replace it with the notification-daemon package, which has GNOME's indicator system. That's what I ended up doing. [06:29] anyone know what im diong wrong? [06:29] wildbat: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/nHDTcjy6 [06:29] Emry: ( sudo aptitude install notification-daemon notify-osd_ ) [06:29] Guys/gals, I just upgraded a box to 10.04.

[06:29] it's at the bottom of that paste, after the gparted information [06:29] !memenu [06:30] Leemp, Keep in mind that some Debian/Ubuntu packages are virtual.... In other words you try and install Python-2.5... And it is only a referrer to other packages.... [06:30] Leemp, So, just find the root python packages...... [06:31] Jeebs, and mount -l? [06:31] im trying to install eduke32 [06:31] I'm still trying to figure out how a later version of python2.5-minimal is already installed. Something that shouldn't be, given that it's not in any ubuntu repos. [06:31] jibbles, If you are running X in a terminal (Yes, it is offically called a Graphic Terminal) .... Any other terminal you are running is virtual through a real (X windows) terminal.... [06:31] HermanDE_: Please don't recommend users in here to add Debian repositories or use Debian repository packages. Mixing repositories is unsupported and causes packaging conflicts. [06:31] rww: does the notify-osd_ tell it to suppress that one? :P [06:31] I used wget to download it [06:31] now what do i do? [06:31] Emry: it tells it to remove the package. [06:31] Jeebs, sdc6 is ext4 already i think [06:31] HermanDE_: Anyway, i give up for the night. I'll look into making my own packages. So far make/install has been the easiest route, go figure heh [06:32] Leemp, That happens.... :) [06:32] g'nite all! [06:32] wildbat: if it's ext4 already, shouldn't it still let me format it again? [06:32] Although gparted bicks it up as unknown [06:32] *picks [06:33] Jeebs, if you mounted nopes [06:33] rww, Any suggestions for someone asking about a package dropped by Ubuntu, but supported by other DEB based distros?

[06:33] Jeebs, or you have a corrupted partition table [06:34] HermanDE_: python2.5 was dropped for a reason. The correct answer would be to find out that reason and explain it to the user. [06:35] rww: Hehehe. apt-get just refused to do it at all without removing everything under the sun. :P aptitude gave me a warning that ubuntu-desktop is broken and offered to remove it for me. ^^ [06:35] it's not mounted [06:35] Emry: try aptitude safe-upgrade [06:35] Emry: heh, weird. They must have changed around the metapackage depends since the last time I looked at them. Sorry about that. [06:36] wildbat: it's not mounted [06:36] so it couldn't be in use [06:36] Jeebs, ok try this ~ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc6 bs=4k count=1024 [06:36] Jeebs, then reboot [06:37] hey there you bun too! [06:37] wow system latency for my nvidia 5500 was set at 255 =c [06:37] maco: that wouldn't help. There's a depend from ubuntu-desktop on notify-osd that I thought was on notification-daemon (which notify-osd provides). I think I got mixed up with gnome-* or something. [06:38] no wonder video lagged [06:38] rww, Yep... Looks like a distro decision over security.... bad answer for someone looking for a solution.... [06:38] wildbat: reboot to the livecd and then try gparted again, I'm guessing? [06:38] wtf my wallpaper keeps switching back to the original xubuntu bg [06:38] HermanDE_: It is, however, the correct one. Telling users to start using Debian repository packages is not. [06:38] nvclocknoob: where do you find that setting? [06:38] Server LVM disk space, how clean and backup [06:38] Jeebs, yes === root is now known as Guest76135 [06:39] rww, That is the freedom of using Linux.... Slack and RPMs are supported under Ubuntu..... [06:39] HermanDE_: not officially... and not here [06:39] !alien [06:39] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [06:39] just wanna get this straight, as I'll have to install java again in the live os. Only have one internet enabled computer around me atm. [06:39] Note the "quite dangerous and unsupported". Same applies to repo mixing. [06:39] rww, Yea..... [06:40] live cd doesn't have a hidden irc client does it? [06:40] Jeebs: yes, empathy === Andorin is now known as AK|out [06:40] Jeebs: nope but you can easily install irssi [06:40] Jeebs: Try http://webchat.freenode.net/ . Empathy can do it, but it's a pain. [06:40] use xchat [06:40] sorry yep [06:40] rww, a bot says so... so it's wrong.... weird....

[06:58] wildbat, So you think start the drive over again? it's not a huge hassle as I have nothing installed on xp yet. [06:59] and fdisk -l is not showing it i dont think [06:59] Jeebs, that's the faster way rather then debugging the problem [06:59] cool, so format the lot now, make my linux partion (but don't install linux), install xp and then install linux? [06:59] partition [07:00] hi all! why is the 64-bit desktop download marked as 'not recommended for daily desktop usage' ? [07:00] Jeebs, yes wipe the disk ~ partition it -> install xp > install ubuntu [07:00] musictoto: because most people dont know if they have 32 or 64 bit computers [07:00] musictoto: and if they go "oooh 64's a bigger number, that makes it better, right???" and it doesnt boot, they get not happy [07:01] musictoto: because the people who rewrote the website text don't know what they're on about [07:01] hey ,I have a problem with my wireless ,someone can help me/ [07:01] hi, I have a creative sound blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series, and when I am not playing anything on my pc I hear static.

[07:02] maco: rww: to know if your processor supports 32 bit rather than 64 bit is only a search away though ? that's the only reason ?

[07:02] Jeebs, after partitioning always reboot ^^b [07:02] musictoto: it used to be that flash, java, and skype didnt work on 64bit, but thats not been the case in a couple of years [07:02] cool! :) [07:03] thanks heaps duder [07:03] Jeebs, that'ss avoid many corruptio [07:03] musictoto: and um most people dont know about googling for hardware. what would they even google for "dell computer amd64 or i386?" === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [07:03] musictoto: expecting people to know their cpu's model name is...expecting far far too much [07:03] maco: although right now adobe doesn't offer flash for 64 bit... [07:04] anyone here use a usb wifi card? specifically wusb100v2? the RT2870sta driver [07:04] musictoto: but 32bit flash works fine on 64bit linux ;-) [07:04] !wifi | ddrj [07:04] ddrj: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:04] from what I understand of 64-bit there are yet to be performance gains for the average user anyway [07:04] maco, Most people these days just have to look at the front of their machine and read the label. :P [07:04] maco: ok.. in fact i thought 32 bit programs could be emulated, i wasn't sure though [07:04] the linux should be installed on primary or logical?

[08:00] my xp partition is fawked [08:00] w7 has a free 30 day trail [08:00] =c [08:00] aha [08:00] bodzilla: trail... why would i want a trail... :D [08:00] it's like $250 [08:01] why is not listed in any menu? [08:01] Because I can't speel [08:01] bodzilla: chemtrails! i say [08:01] that's absolutely greedy man [08:01] Home W7 new egg100$ [08:01] -.- [08:01] upgrade though [08:02] bodzilla: W7 means Windows 7 ? [08:02] yes [08:02] yes [08:02] so no-one has a 64 bit version of flash lying around? [08:02] Unlike Linux, W7 supports 3D acceleration, for DirectX at least [08:02] why dont you d/l it from depo or adobe? [08:02] Hi folks. I'm trying to get started with a later version of rails than is in the (10.04) repository via a gem install...but when I go to run the 'rails' command, the repos jumps in with a 'the program rails is currently not installed' error. Any idea how to get that repos command out of the way and recognising the installed gem? 'Gem list' confirms the rails gem is indeed installed [08:02] ubuntu now supports dx and 3d gfx [08:02] nvclocknoob, it's no long available [08:02] blekos: If that was a response to me, I see it under "Internet." [08:02] atleast in wine [08:03] nvclocknoob: dx as in DirectX? [08:03] yes [08:03] Anyone running a Dell with the integrated laptop? [08:03] Lint01, if the method for setting up the new partition was where I went wrong, I can restore the laptop I'm working with back to factory settings if thres a different way it needs to be done to work [08:03] err [08:03] 3d fx is also driver/hw dependant [08:03] Integrated Webcam [08:03] but linux can be made to support 3dfx [08:03] gfx [08:03] Is there any good way to crypt the infomation we submit in the webbrowser except SSL? [08:03] aaaa, yes., yes... I am bit of newbie in using linux :) [08:03] nvclocknoob: DirectX is propietary, Windows only... Linux will never support it unless Microsoft makes it support it [08:03] Davin, what exactly happens when you boot WIn7? [08:03] ubuntu seems to make this easier as long as someone took the time to write/build good drivers === [1]sassyn is now known as sassyn [08:04] chang: SSH, or public GPG keys [08:04] exactly bey [08:04] chang: better: VPN [08:04] but there are modules in wine..so it can be done [08:04] blekos: Me too! When I saw your question, I had to search myself. [08:04] How to enable OpenGL acceleration in Linux? [08:04] it's not native no xD i wasnt saying that [08:04] !!! [08:04] glad you were around to find it ;) [08:04] most gfx cards already suppot opengl [08:05] if the software needs or uses opengl and they coded it right it will be using opengl extentions [08:05] nvclocknoob: why would we want DirectX when there's OpenGL? (which is FAR SUPERIOR, for example, avatar was rendered on a cloud of Ubuntu servers, on OpenGL) [08:05] Thanks to Beyecixramd!Ok, I'll try to find some information about SSH & VPN [08:05] check the software your using (like games) settings [08:05] The Mesa OpenGL driver is using software rendering, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly <-- WTF is that? [08:06] was it opengl 2.0? [08:06] Lint01: you need to install a package to allow 3D rendering [08:06] Beyecixramd, which one? [08:06] your using restricted drivers [08:06] and yes anything other then directx is superior [08:06] nvclocknoob: too sad people keep coding for DX :( [08:07] opengl is on the gfx card natively [08:07] nvclocknoob, like DX [08:07] meaning less lag etc much much faster [08:07] dx is software only and uses cpu most of the time [08:07] nvclocknoob: that's not true... [08:07] and has to refrence files on the hd.. [08:08] shaders lighting textures.. if not hw supported by dx codeing..is software [08:08] nvclocknoob: if it was software only, i wouldn't be able to run Crysis on my dual core, 2'66 Ghz at 30 FPS in high settings [08:08] Lint01, Im going right into Windows Error Recovery and Windows Boot Manager. Boot Manager info "The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible." [08:08] nvclocknoob: and Nexuiz (OpenGL) runs at more or less the same speed with the same quality [08:08] a dual core would be able to run crysis with an onboard... [08:08] i was wondering since Ubuntu is picking up in popularity, are Virus picking up as well, i know there are not many around, anyone know if we need a scanner, if so, what too use? [08:09] how to mount the drives automatically at startup. i am using ubuntu 10.04 [08:09] and if you have a video or onboard that support most of what i mentioned in hw..then yur card does the work [08:09] yes [08:09] DrSuess, don't worry, it's 1.2% still [08:09] yes you need fw and scanner [08:09] DrSuess: Viruses don't act in Linux like they do in Windows. Calm down, you're fully safe [08:10] linux has recently been used in a ddos to shut down my win pc.. [08:10] yes you need protection [08:10] nvclocknoob: sorry, but you did something stupid then :) [08:11] nvclocknoob: in Windows, even if you don't touch a key, as soon as you're online, you're vulnerable [08:11] regardless of doing something stupid...it was a vulnerability [08:11] nvclocknoob: in Linux, it needs your password and such [08:11] Lint01 I did also try, after Windows 7 stopped booting, actually installing Ubuntu on the partition I'd already set up for it to see if that might get around it, which didn't work and might've been a bad plan. Start Up Repair can't seem to fix it, either [08:11] nvclocknoob: i can also program a bash script to erase my hard drive, and would that be a vulnerabilty? [08:12] the linux pc in my network..was used as well as hundreds of win and linux pc's...they did not need root [08:12] Beyecixramd, it needs no password if kernel has privilege escalation vulnerability [08:12] someone pls help [08:12] somehow they made a new profile in xp and made their own process [08:12] Lint01: obviously [08:12] flooded ram [08:12] and used syn packets to mess things up too [08:12] <<< nmap: nexthost: failed to determine route to << any one ever got this ? [08:12] linux has native syn packet protections..somewhat [08:13] nvclocknoob: you'll see anyway, that the rate of linux infection is lower than the rate of windows infections [08:13] nvclocknoob: if you're on Windows, without antivirus, bye bye [08:13] in linux without antivirus, you're safer [08:13] nvclocknoob, Windows has no SYN fllod problems since 1997, stop raving [08:14] yea well they persisted in shutting down norton,mcaffe,comodo,avast,avira,zonealarm..and then blocked the install of any known fw/anti-v software [08:14] lint win is vulnerably to a multitude of attacks [08:14] nvclocknoob: see? antivirus are useless [08:14] new ones every second [08:14] i can probably pulle up a log.. [08:14] nvclocknoob, stop spreading FUD [08:14] ... [08:14] nvclocknoob: anyway, yes, stop [08:15] i am letting people know..yes you need protection regardless of os.. [08:15] how do I permanently mount a network drive [08:15] nvclocknoob: no... [08:15] many hackers use diffrent tactics..some don't even use a traditional os.. [08:15] but how does that relate to ubuntu? [08:15] nvclocknoob: at least not the same way as in Windoww [08:15] Windows* [08:15] hello. i try to create a usb boot with the ubuntu startup disk creator. it tells me my usb stick needs to be formatted. so i just click the 'format' button, and nothing happened... [08:16] nvclocknoob: in windows, you can use trojans, worms, etc, in linux you need to hack a bit [08:16] he must be telling about Windows 2000 SP1, which he torrented back in 2001 [08:16] i see no diffrence in methods of attacks between os's and vulnerabilies..only reason linux has protections is cause people know what to protect..and make it so [08:16] !ot [08:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:17] nvclocknoob: Ubuntu has AppArmor, Fedora has SELinux, proactive protections, you know? [08:17] and yes linux requires skill to bypass [08:17] nvclocknoob: it won't allow malware do dirty stuff [08:17] Beyecixramd, it's very hard to launch something from the net in Windows, actually [08:17] !ot | Beyecixramd and nvclocknoob: [08:17] Beyecixramd and nvclocknoob:: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[08:20] Lint01, you need to install hardware drivers for your graphics card [08:20] lint..look for drivers for your hw..using synaptic.. [08:20] then enable hw accel [08:20] nvclocknoob: hw accel should be auto enabled, at least with Intel, nVidia, and ATi after installing drivers [08:21] nvclocknoob: that is: restart X or reboot [08:21] command not found? [08:21] i had to install my nvida then enable it =/ [08:21] Hello [08:21] hi folks, anyone have experience in sending rythmbox streams (or even better spotify) to an apple air port express unit (I have seen some 4 years old posts, but they are kino tweaks, would be nice with more regular solution) [08:21] nvclocknoob: really? :S [08:21] I need to install a dri9verwith ndiswrapper [08:21] nvclocknoob: installed from the Ubuntu repos, and etc?

[08:22] megasega: depends on what kernel panic is... most of them are hw-related, which means you need to change hardware to make it work [08:22] at first it didnt detect my monitor... [08:22] anyone tried ubuntu one [08:22] is it any good [08:22] now it's fine =/ [08:22] and nvclock has it o/ced [08:22] xD [08:22] well on 10.04 - installed ubuntu via CD - then downloaded the kernel sources - then copied the vmlinuz - reboot - panic! [08:22] ravn: zero experience, but RB has a streaming server from what i know. DLNA, and UPnP iirc [08:23] megasega: that's hardware related, definitely [08:23] Beyecixramd, what is RB? [08:23] right now i'm trying to find cpufreq drivers for my northwoord 2.8 [08:23] I think it has to do with grub not having a menu.lst [08:23] squig: Rhytmbox [08:23] anyone tried ubuntu one [08:23] is it good [08:24] Guest31174: it's good, yeah, please change your nick using /nick yournewnick [08:24] The webpage at http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

[08:40] erry: in a single line, please [08:40] i cannot install thepackmages i got from the script because i do not have the dependancies. [08:40] That is all. [08:40] powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v0.97, (c) 2003-2006 John Clemens powernowd: Found 1 scalable unit: -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq: No such file or directory ??? what do instal.. do i need to restart?? [08:40] do i have to throw a fit like erry to have my hand held through my issue? [08:40] nvclocknoob: what do you need? [08:41] If I am going to dual boot OSX and Ubuntu on my macbook. Do I need a partition on which to write grub? what format should it be? Currently I have EFI, OSX, Ubuntu, Linux Swap, and a small amount of free space. [08:41] cgethycx, dont make it worse [08:41] ive been trying to get help 3 hours now [08:41] and they dont get my problem [08:41] erry: somewhere the dependencies for it should be listed. once you have that, you should be able to download the .deb files for each. [08:41] powernowd is asking for a directory that doesn't exit...how do i make it right? [08:41] exist [08:41] erry: give me a sec... [08:41] ennui: yes, a single partition for GRUB. ext2 i would recommend, but Ubuntu can use ext4 on /boot i think [08:41] EvilTrek, but i already have them in THIS computer [08:41] EvilTrek, so it cant get the debs again [08:41] erry: all of the dependency debs? [08:41] nvclocknoob: touch /that/specifical/file [08:42] 0.o? [08:42] cgethycx: What sort of network drive? samba? NFS? [08:42] erry: then assuming you have those .debs, you should be able to install those, i'll let others help you with that :) [08:42] EvilTrek, how do i get the debs [08:42] EvilTrek, it only got me 2 debs [08:42] erry: Step 1: Go to your other computer (the one without internet) [08:42] Does Hyperthreading actually bring any signficant benefits? I'm seeing a ~$100 difference between an Intel E5506 (quad cpu) and E5518 (quad+HT). I don't know whether it's worth it. [08:42] ghoti yes!! [08:42] erry: listen to bobthemilkman^ [08:42] bobthemilkman, but that doesn't have those packages in synaptic! [08:42] NFS i think [08:42] ennui: You need a BIOS boot partition to reliably install grub to gpt (which is what macs use by default, and is required for drives larger than 2 terabytes) [08:42] erry: Step 2: Open up Synaptic and mark the package you want to install. [08:42] bobthemilkman, but it doesnt have it [08:42] ghoti: Probably not when you've already got 4 cores. [08:42] erry: Step 3: Go to file -> Generate script. [08:43] bobthemilkman, b/c iu cant update it b/c i dont have internet [08:43] Jordan_U: no, GRUB can boot in EFI too [08:43] Beyecixramd: I know that. [08:43] erry: It doesn't have synaptic package manager? Your other computer isn't Ubuntu? [08:43] bobthemilkman, no [08:43] each core uses it's own ht thread /pipelines [08:43] bobthemilkman, it has synaptic [08:43] bobthemilkman, but the packages arent listed [08:43] or share one set [08:43] bobthemilkman, cz i cant do apt-get update [08:43] erry: So it's database is out of date? [08:43] bobthemilkman, yes [08:43] bobthemilkman, and it doesnt have internet [08:43] Flannel: that's what I was thinking, but for a semi-busy web server running a lot of PHP, I also wonder if spawning processes on "fake" CPUs might actually be *slower*. What do you think? [08:43] Flannel: NFS i think [08:44] even a multicore system greatly benefits from the bandwidth gained to ram and gfx and instructions per second [08:44] I mean, a hyperthreaded CPU is NOT the same as a real one... [08:44] Beyecixramd: a bios partition in addition to one for grub? Doesn't the small EFI partition from the OSX install emulate the BIOS and then call grub to boot linux? [08:44] nvclocknoob: why? [08:44] bobthemilkman, is there a way to update its database? [08:44] ennui: there are tons of guides for Ubuntu on Mac OS X... google is your friend :) [08:44] ennui: http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition ' [08:44] hyperthreading gives the cpu a dedicated line to ram and gfx etc.. [08:44] :( please guys [08:45] patience erry [08:45] erry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository [08:45] erry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript [08:45] w/e [08:45] ill just use windows [08:45] Those two pages should tell you exactly how to do everything. [08:45] nvclocknoob: the E55xx all have Quickpath. Isn't that how the CPU talks to memory et al? [08:45] erry: hmhph [08:45] even it's own processor on the motherboard..usually on-shipset [08:45] bobthemilkman, how do i know the suitcodename? [08:46] suitecodename is, for example, luci, karmic, intrepid, etc. [08:47] i hate it when people dont help me just b/c im new [08:47] Beyecixramd: The problem is grub fails to install when trying a fresh install from the live CD and I am always left with a ubuntu file system I can't boot to as grub failed. trying to install it manually from the live CD but wasn't sure if it needed to be to the MBR or a partition or what [08:47] cgethycx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo explains a lot about NFS, including how to mount it permanently (what to add to your fstab, etc) [08:47] quickpath direct pipe.. interconnect.. are various other assits manufactuers put in place to help enchance throughput [08:47] erry: We have helped you, you just refuse to believe our answer. [08:47] Flannel: Thanks [08:47] erry: You're being helped. Please stop being obnoxious, it makes people less likely to help you in the future. [08:47] erry: It's not that people aren't helping you. You refuse to be helped. [08:48] haveing assitant techs and direct access to various components makes things much faster [08:48] What you want is for me to walk over to your house, get on your computer, and then do every single step of the process while you sit back and watch. [08:48] bobthemilkman, no i dont want that [08:48] hello [08:48] ennui: To the mbr, after setting up a BIOS boot partition (carefully noting the warning at the end of the page I linked you to) [08:48] morning all [08:48] bobthemilkman, i just cant find the offline repository :( [08:48] erry: Then read the two links I posted above. [08:48] I am still new to Linux and would like to set up a home network but haven't figured out how to do so. Can anyone give me some help on this? [08:48] bobthemilkman, but its not working! [08:48] i wish ud help me [08:48] mek..its pretty much PNP [08:48] just give me a hint [08:48] erry: There's no way you could have possibly read the documentation I posted, and tried it, already. [08:48] I have a question about "swap memory" [08:48] nvclocknoob: quickpath apparently replaces the FSB in Gainestown CPUs. How does Hyperthreading improve performance of communication with RAM and I/O? [08:49] Because I haven't even had enough time to read through all of it, and much less even try it out. [08:49] bobthemilkman, what is the code name? [08:49] bobthemilkman, which repository should i get? [08:49] nvclocknoob: what is PNP? [08:49] ive given my system 3.7gig of SWAP memory, but it doesnt seem to ever get used.. is somthing wrong? [08:49] ennui: If you chose automatic/guided partitioning then the Ubuntu installer should have created a BIOS boot partition for you already, in which case you just need to install grub to the mbr following: grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [08:49] erry: The one that matches your offline computer. [08:49] mek8630, plug and prey! [08:49] Jaunty, Intrepid, etc. [08:50] bobthemilkman, and which repo do i need? [08:50] squig: haha ok [08:50] by giving it physical addesses that can offload from the cpu independantly.. without the cpu baby sitting each thing.. it's another open channel and handler that can be used [08:50] liminal: it is there for when you suspend or hibernate [08:50] bobthemilkman, i added this line in my sources.list and did apt=get update but it's not in home [08:50] squig: so I take it settings up a home network is gonna be a pain in the butt? [08:50] erry: Go to your offline computer, Open up synaptic package manager, go to settings -> repositories, and use the same suitecodenames that it uses. [08:50] How can I restrict a user to browser only his $home ? [08:50] it significanlty streamlines and speeds up processes and threading tasks [08:50] How can I restrict a user to browser only his files $home ? [08:50] Can ls print the numerical mode of a file? [08:51] well_laid_lawn so in normal everyday usage it wont ever get used? [08:51] Hmm. [08:51] why is this so hard :( [08:51] erry: settings -> repositories -> Other software (the checked one) [08:51] liminal: it rarely does here [08:51] erry: It's not hard. You just complain about your problems instead of trying to solve them, until someone else comes along and does it for you. [08:51] bobthemilkman, none is checked [08:51] erry: Copy the download script to the computer that you have internet access with, download the packages listed there (there should be two, one of which you don't strictly need), copy the packages back to your offline computer. [08:51] nvclocknoob: and is linux "HTT-aware" per Intel's standard, whatever that is? (i.e. the kernel knows the difference between 8-core and quad-core+HTT?) [08:51] erry: Then choose the one with the most recent version. [08:52] erry: `lsb_release -a` in a terminal on that machine will tell you [08:52] bobthemilkman, i downloaded the repo supposedly but its not in home [08:52] Flannel: The problem is that he'll need the package for his kernel version, so he should really use Synaptic's download script. [08:53] bobthemilkman, can i download the repository in a deb? [08:53] ubuntu rocks agree / disagree [08:53] does anyone in here know an easy way to set up a home network? [08:53] ghoti: from what i know, neither Linux nor Windows are HT-aware [08:53] Guest31174, disagree because nothing works and nobody can hyelp [08:53] hmm i beleive it's handled on-chip and on-board...but would perform best if it can be confirmed that the os uses it.. it is also software dependent..if its not told to use it ..includeing multiple cores..it won't..but vt-vitualization on-chip..and most newer chips..will use this stuff regardless of os/software support [08:53] in windows everythign lways works [08:53] Guest31174: #ubuntu-offtopic for those sorts of questions, not here. thanks. [08:53] erry: From what I've seen, you're absolutely refusing to be helped, and in doing so, wasting the volunteers time here. Please fix your attitude as you're being very disrespectful. [08:53] Guest31174: you're in a Ubuntu channel [08:53] ubutnu sucks ass [08:53] its horrible [08:53] erry: everything works, including viruses :) [08:53] too late [08:53] :/ [08:53] erry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository [08:53] bobthemilkman, i tried that [08:53] !guidelines > erry [08:53] bobthemilkman, it does not work.. [08:53] erry, please see my private message [08:53] Read the documentation. It's very straightforward. [08:54] !offline | erry [08:54] erry: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [08:54] ghotti like the new phenoms will emulate what it thinks should be used.. even if software isnt coded to do so [08:54] Beyecixramd: Really?! Then what OS is? FreeBSD? [08:54] linux? [08:55] hello all can I use virtualbox to run my windows 7 os that was already installed on my system if so how [08:55] wiz i think so.. [08:55] ghoti: all OSes see HT cores as physical cores [08:55] ghoti: at least from what i know... [08:55] wizard_2010: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows [08:56] jussi, thanks [08:56] I have helped you out of the kindness of my heart, but you seem to not be appreciative of my help, despite your reliance upon it. Your problem here is not the difficulty of the task, but rather your inability to solve any problem, regardless of its difficulty. By simply telling you the answer to this problem, you will not gain the valuable life skills of being able to think your way through solving other problems. I am confident that if you w [08:56] ant to be able to do anything harder than open a door for the rest of your life, that you learn to be able to read documentation. I am through helping you. [08:56] just found out want I want [08:56] it will detect them, though i haven't seen it as individual cores or co-processors [08:57] its does often report HT core frequencies as it is meant to bypass the fsb... [08:57] Jordan_U: It had created a small partition flagged with bios_grub but it was corrupted somehow. If I just reform at it to ext2 can I write grub to it? [08:57] Beyecixramd: just found a FreeBSD box with a quad-i7 with HTT in it: [08:57] FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 8 CPUs [08:57] FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 SMT threads [08:57] this is also another way it vastly improves system speeds [08:57] So it seems to support that. [08:57] (that was dmesg output, btw.) [08:57] xD [08:58] ghoti: in that case, probably Linux sees HT cores too [08:58] ghoti: and Windows [08:58] ya, I would expect so. [08:58] ghoti: yup [08:58] HT cores are fail [08:58] jsoft: yay! moar threads [08:58] i7 means you have 6 cores and 2 idle [08:59] ht is one of the "idle" cores [08:59] ennui: I think you might not understand how a bios boot partition works. It's not a filesystem, so it's normal that it can't be mounted (it's not "corrupt) [08:59] Jordan_U: Though sudo mount /dev/sda4/mnt give me an error: saying it can't find /dev/sda/4/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [08:59] and yes it seems linux see em and is using them properly [09:00] Jordan_U: I wasn't trying to boot from the bios partition. I was trying to boot from the linux file system I had installed minus grub (as it failed on installation) [09:00] nvclocknoob: all OSes use them properly, the capacity to distinct between physical cores and HT cores is slightly different [09:00] hi, I get a connection refused using wget inspite of having set the correct proxy in http_proxy...any ideas? [09:00] HT also has pipelines like a gfx card..these can be unlocked with tweaking if supported.. you must lookinto specific cores and stuff [09:00] yup [09:01] diffren mobo manu's will restrict access to some of these...like dells [09:01] xshyamx: have you checked the logs in your proxy server? Also, try dumping all your HTTP headers to see if an error is being reported there. [09:02] xshyamx: that's the "-S" flag for wget, I think. [09:02] ghoti: don't have access to proxy server logs but, will check the http headers and see [09:02] ennui: the mount command should be exactly "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt" (note where there are spaces, copy and paste the command if you need to) [09:02] well in the begining some os's didnt know what the heck to do...in time things have become much more utilized..thx to things like vitualization and varios 32bit to 64bit advances [09:02] anyway to make xchat list the channels in the order of people in them [09:03] and emulation [09:03] Hello i'm not sure qhich repository i need to download [09:03] is there a way to figure that out? [09:03] erry: repositories are not files. repositories are databases of files [09:03] xshyamx: You can also use `curl` for debugging. something like: curl -x host:port -I http://example.com/ [09:04] Beyecixramd, yes im not sre which 1 i need though [09:04] erry: you don't "download" a repository, you use a repository to download a file [09:04] erry: what file you need to get? [09:04] Beyecixramd, yes i know but im following the instrunctions you linked me to [09:04] Beyecixramd, the wireless 1 [09:04] erry: uhmm... what do you want to do [09:04] erry: install the wireless package? [09:04] Beyecixramd, install a wieress dreiver in a computerwith no internet [09:05] Beyecixramd, i was suggested to use a backports package [09:05] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/i386/linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic [09:05] erry: you should need no repos, apart from the ones you have already installed [09:05] i think that 1 [09:05] 4AM ... [09:05] Beyecixramd, but i dont have any installed its out of date [09:05] * ghoti heads for bed [09:05] GTK+ [09:05] WHO [09:05] erry: Please open Synaptic on the offline computer, choose file > generate package download script, copy the script over to the online computer, download the packages (using the URLs in the script), then copy the packages back to the offline computer. [09:05] erry: Any other way of doing this is likely to fail. [09:05] Jordan_U, the repositories of the OFFLINE computer are out of date [09:06] painter [09:06] Jordan_U, therefor my package is not there [09:06] Jordan_U: obviously, what would you expect [09:06] erry* did* [09:06] erry: you need no repos in your offline computer. repos are online, if your computer is offline, repos are useless [09:06] Beyecixramd, but how am i going to make the download script [09:07] Beyecixramd, but you linked me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository [09:07] erry: i didn't [09:07] Beyecixramd, and according to that you can download the repository [09:07] erry: There should be a package "linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic" even if your computer has never been connected to the internet. [09:07] Beyecixramd, can you please tell me which repository a package is in? [09:07] erry: no, you can add a repository [09:07] Jordan_U, well it's NOT there [09:07] pp8@pp8-desktop:~$ sudo powernowd powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v0.97, (c) 2003-2006 John Clemens powernowd: Found 1 scalable unit: -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq: No such file or directory what needs to be installed, or manually placed there? i don't think making a file named so would work...??? [09:08] nvclocknoob: no idea if not touch [09:08] Jordan_U, that computer has never had an apt update in its life. [09:08] ohh touch" is a program? [09:08] brb [09:08] But anyway i dont think you know the original problem [09:09] look Jordan_U Beyecixramd what i want is another driver for my netbook b/c the original 1 kills the kernel [09:09] nvclocknoob: yup [09:09] And i tried ndiswrapper but it didn't work [09:09] nvclocknoob: creates zero-byte (empty) files [09:09] and then you told me i should try the backports pacjage [09:09] erry: why dont you just install an up to date version of Ubuntu on your computer that DOESN'T have internet yet that will come with all your wireless packages [09:09] mek8630, huh? I'm using 9.10 [09:09] mek8630, i just installed it [09:10] does anyone here know anything about 4GB micro sd cards being recognised as 32MB with an invalid partition table? [09:10] erry: yeah get 10.04 [09:10] mek8630, i meant 10.04 [09:10] that's what i haver [09:10] honestly [09:10] i jsut got confused [09:10] hey guys how do i edit the nautilus context menu? and not just add custom commands with "nautilus actions" [09:10] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:10] Bash says it doesn't know the "unmount" command :/ [09:10] Sheepherd: that's the only way i know of [09:10] ennui: it's umount (no N) [09:10] ennui, umount [09:10] HBSC: can you format it? [09:10] I said it first [09:10] see [09:10] im helpful see im not a noob [09:10] <--- idiot [09:10] HBSC: low level formatting [09:11] Beyecixramd: so removing items isnt possible? [09:11] lol erry [09:11] Beyecixramd, can you help me with ndiswrapper then [09:11] cause this isn't going to work [09:11] iBeyecixramd i've tried mkdosfs and mkfs [09:11] Sheepherd: to remove stuff, you need to uninstall the package that added that stuff, or seek for the nautilus action files, they could be stored everywhere [09:11] erry: Have you tried just downloading the few packages and installing them to see if they'll work? [09:11] and no dice. [09:11] HBSC: are you sure your drive is not broken? how old it is? [09:12] Flannel, my netbook is offline. [09:12] erry: zero experience with ndiswrapper [09:12] erry: if you are using 10.04 and are wanting to use wireless internet it should already have that preinstalled [09:12] erry: Yeah, but you can sneakernet them over [09:12] i'm trying to rule that out... it's pretty new and it stopped mounting in an android phone [09:12] omg [09:12] ok listen i'm going to say my problem once more [09:12] This _came_ with a driver. I had to _blacklist_ the driver because the kernel panicked. [09:12] I am now looking for adriver that doesn't have that problem [09:12] HBSC: you know flash drives have a write limit, right? [09:13] That's simple [09:13] HBSC: if you have intensively used that drive, it could be fawkd up [09:13] erry: And how will you know which drivers don't unless you try them? [09:13] Flannel, i'm trying with ndiswrapper but they're not working [09:13] hello [09:13] hbsc does the drive contain data? [09:13] can anybody body plz welcome me here [09:13] i am new here [09:14] Beyecixramd, it's pretty new... but it could be messed up regardless, i guess [09:14] erry cant you just plug you lan into your laptop and do all of the steps that everyone has recommended? [09:14] welcome, orlarmy [09:14] welcome!! xD [09:14] ... [09:14] HBSC: weird [09:14] cgethycx, i only have _wireless_ [09:14] i need _that_ to work [09:14] hello beye [09:14] Beyecixramd: oh well so i guess removing default items like "resize icon" cant be removed that easily? [09:14] erry: I just successfully followed my own instructions in a brand new virtual machine, that I did not ever allow to connect to the internet. [09:14] HBSC is the drive formatted? does it contain data? [09:14] erry: what the ... you only have wireless and no cable (ethernet) in your netbook? [09:14] Beyecixramd, i dont have a cable [09:14] how do you only have wireless [09:14] invclocknoob was trying to mount the thing to run photorec for data recovery... [09:14] erry: how much did that piece of... netbook cost... 50 euros?! [09:14] Beyecixramd, i have a hole for the cable but not the cable [09:15] Beyecixramd, no no i have an adapter. but not the actual cable [09:15] but have you looked at it with a gpart or the like? [09:15] HSBC^^ [09:15] erry: okay okay, i was scared [09:15] can somebody plz put me thru here? [09:15] nvclocknoob, it should have data. fdisk doesn't recognise the partition table [09:16] Beyecixramd, so can you please hel [09:16] erry: can't you... disconnect some device temporarily to get ethernet working? [09:16] i have one gig stick with two partitions..so each one detect separately as 512mb [09:16] Beyecixramd, i do not have an ethernet cable [09:16] orlarmy: what do you need help for? [09:16] orlarmy: the IRC channel? Ubuntu itself? [09:16] run to wal mart and get one [09:16] if there is a partion useing all but 32mb then it will detect in linux as that free space.. [09:16] orlarmy: some specific issue regarding Ubuntu...? [09:16] erry: :| [09:17] Beyecixramd, still i need wirelss to work [09:17] onvclocknoob, i just looked at it w/ gparted and it says "unrecognised disk label" [09:17] why's the 64-bit version is not recommended for daily desktop? [09:17] erry: i think it's easier than that [09:17] I'll remind everyone that when you're helping, you should be helpful. "Go get one" isn't a proper solution. [09:17] Beyecixramd, if ui use ethernet to download the packages [09:17] will wireless work after? [09:17] erry: what chipset is your wireless card?

[09:23] erry: That package has installed a newer version of the driver, which may have that bug fixed (it also may not, but it's worth testing) [09:24] it may be possible to use the remaining freespace and make another partition for ubuntu so you can use it for both the droid and ubunut [09:24] Jordan_U, ok hoqw do i reenable it after removing the blacklist line [09:25] nvclocknoob, i'm trying to recover data from the partition that the phone used [09:25] and not lose info/data by formatting the whole thing only to repeat it the nxt time you attache it to the droid..

[10:20] rww: thanks man! ... do you how to update it? as I have just set UTC=no, and it is currently still pointing on UTC [10:20] erry: linux is nightmare when wireless is concerned. [10:20] ikonia, should i put linux-wireless-backports or something? [10:21] erry: where did you get the driver ? [10:21] kokozedman: restart your computer and set the time properly in the BIOS [10:21] erry: is it a stock one from within ubuntu ? [10:21] ikonia, within ubuntu [10:21] carnerio...are you a us citizen..do you remeber when they advanced gps time 4 hours? [10:21] and i also need to be fixing my bugs in my software atm [10:21] kokozedman: you can set it through hwclock, but it's horribly confusing [10:21] so i need to get done with this [10:21] erry: just put it in the linux-wirless meta package [10:21] nvclocknoob: not an US citizen [10:21] rww: :) ok ... i can't set the time in BIOS, because it's a remote server [10:22] ikonia, linux-backports-modules-wireless? [10:22] kokozedman: oh, fun. see "man hwclock", then, it has the relevant commands [10:22] why back ports ? is the package from backports ?

[10:29] erry: well, I'd just use that to log the bug [10:29] use what? [10:29] erry: it's clear that, that specific module on your system causes a kernel panic [10:29] ok [10:29] erry: makes sure you machine is not overclocked in any way, and log a bug stating that [10:29] ikonia, but if i reboot it willprobably crash in boot [10:30] and then i cant prove its the module that does it [10:30] erry: sounds reasonable yes [10:30] zipper maybe?

I'm not sure what the -execdir switch does.. I think I've always used just -exec.. check the man page to make sure it's not doing something weird [10:43] Slart: its just that it runs from the subdir where the found file is [10:44] Slart, -execdir is like -exec except it changes directory to where the file resides -- needed for the gunzip as he'd like to extract files where they are not in the current dir.

[11:51] rww: sorry, I checked in a centos m/c which had PermitEmptyPasswords commented out but, it permits empty passwords for syncing data as part of a cloud [11:51] is it possible to tell what architecture a .o file is for? [11:51] rww: is it distro specific? [11:52] I want to check that my compiler is actually producing 64 bit code [11:52] I want to install a printer, but ubuntu can't find my cd-rom. Does that mean I need to login as a superuser? (This is a serious question) [11:52] Somelauw: what do you mean by "ubuntu can't find my cd-rom"? [11:53] Somelauw: you've inserted the cd and it does not mount? [11:53] Yes [11:53] Somelauw: you shouldn't need the cdrom to install a printer [11:53] Somelauw: maybe it ask for the ubuntu cd-rom becouse you still have iot enabled as source ? [11:54] My kitten jumped on the keyboard and now I have a window fullscreen on one of my monitors and pressing F11 has no effect. How can I get back the normal display? [11:54] Somelauw: System>Preferences>Software Sources. disable the cdrom in the firs tab [11:54] xshyamx: no idea [11:55] erUSUL, I don't see software sources [11:55] I am using gnome.

[11:57] hey I tried to run GParted, and i got this box saying "unable to grab mouse" something about an error or malicious software [11:57] whats that all about? [11:57] Taev: try to run it again, and don't touch the mouse [11:57] oh i did and it worked [11:57] Taev: don't open any menus, or anything after launching it [11:57] Im just hesitant to put my password in [11:58] Taev: where did you get gparted from? [11:58] Synaptic Package Manager I think, either that or It came with the install [11:59] I didn't download it 3rd party, thats for sure. [11:59] Taev: it needs your password for security reasons... if it didn't... any random software could format your drive [11:59] Taev: should be safe [11:59] Taev: backups!

System>Admin...>Printers [12:04] any advice ? [12:04] solkig, it might have helped anyway - testing :) [12:04] The volume:up\down\mute buttons won't work at the login menu. This means my laptop will wake up my wife every time i boot it early in the morning or in the night. The workaround i use is to change to another tty and use aumix to mute the speaker before logging in. IS there a way i can get the onboard audio buttons to work before logging into the system?

[12:06] I'm five minutes lates sorry [12:06] erUSUL: The printer came bundled with a cd-rom. On windows I could just insert the cd-rom and it installed.

Is the vnc daemon running? [12:35] hm, dont think so [12:36] Does anyone know if there is a way to know that my apt GPG keys haven't been tampered with? [12:36] how to i install it?

Just one more question is the UFW enabled by default? [12:40] rww: 10.04.1 not 10.10 [12:40] iceroot: I'm aware of that. [12:40] rww: ah ok, the name of the link was strange [12:41] using flux instead of genome results nothing too [12:41] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule has it too, but why use a relevant link when a semi-relevant one will work just as well ;P [12:43] guys got to restart my box [12:44] I'm trying "sudo fdisk /dev/sg2" on an iSCSI mounted device, but nothing happens (I'm on Ubuntu Server 9.10) - I've waited several hours but it never says anything [12:44] just tried to ctrl+c out of it, and it didn't seem to do anything (?) [12:44] anyone knows how to get my lan printer to be use-able in ubuntu - even if it is not active on startup of ubuntu? [12:44] hi - I dislike the way that the file browser won't toggle to a full text path in lucid -> is there anyway to get the old behaviour back? [12:45] lukus: ctrl-l [12:45] KettleCorn: better do fdisk -l first [12:45] lukus: I don't know if I unsersood that right. Try L in nautilus [12:46] carneiro: if I type fdisk -l I get no output at all, should I add something as a parameter? [12:46] KettleCorn: Check how much time it takes ... [12:46] rww,minimec - I'm taking the path that's displayed in a file-browser dialogue .. when saving a file for example [12:46] KettleCorn: Just run fdisk -l and check for the detected disks ... [12:46] s/taking/talking [12:47] (about) [12:47] it used to be possible to toggle the graphical path list - so it appeared as a text path [12:47] which was great [12:47] carneiro: I had to run it as sudo, I see now. well, it doesn't detect anything but my local drives [12:47] I would like to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 but Update Manager doesn't show there is an upgrade available even though "Show new distribution releases" is set to "normal release". I've even set in to "Long-Term Releases Only" with no luck. [12:47] I have no idea why it's been changed [12:48] carneiro: I'm guessing that means I haven't got my iSCSI things setup correctly [12:48] KettleCorn: Either that .. or ur server is not able to reach the destination host [12:48] lukus: Still... I don't exactly see what you mean, sorry. I see no problem in the gnome saving dialog. [12:49] minimec, under 'browse for other folders' you have a path .. which is a series of sequential individual paths, represented by buttons .. [12:49] carneiro: do you mean as in network connection, reach? they can ping each other. actually, the network iSCSI storage device lists the session from the ubuntu machine as active [12:50] Hello, im about to buy a new soundcard, is there any that has better linux support then another? [12:50] minimec, in previous versions - there was a toggle button on the far left .. which allow the user to switch to a full text-representation of the path [12:50] *allowed [12:50] lukus: So we had that quasi L option in the saving dialog. I didn't notice that ;) [12:51] minimec, yeah - it was great :) .. ctrl L doesn't seem to work there [12:51] lukus, why not it does for me [12:51] I suppose someone decided it was confusing the fabled 'regular people' [12:52] airtonix, hmm.. maybe I'm doing something wrong [12:52] airtonix, are you using lucid (and are you trying to save a file)? [12:52] lukus, also you can install a modified version of nautilus that provides the button you mention [12:52] how does modprobe work? I have 3 types of bcm (braodcom) dirvers installed none are working some are black listed [12:52] KettleCorn: have u run iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p [12:52] KettleCorn: ? [12:53] airtonix, ahh.. I might do that then - thanks [12:53] thank god for the tab or else id never know what Bcm drivers i had installed [12:53] lukus: Well it works in nautilus, but you just get an empty line with Tab completion for the file system. That is in dact not that, what you mean. [12:53] is there a program that can handle skype, google voice chat, ventrilo and teamspeak all in one ? [12:54] floating: no [12:54] minimec, okay - i'll do some investigating .. thx for the help [12:54] lukus, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/toolbar-editor-now-in-nautilus.html [12:54] lukus: no problem [12:54] I have a general query about routers - do they normally direct internet traffic to port 80? [12:54] carneiro: yes I have, and it lists four targets in the portal, where the first is the relevant one [12:55] howdy all [12:55] Pici: long time :) [12:55] carneiro: it says this: 192.168.0.26:3260,1 iqn.1994-12.com.promise.e0.81.65.55.1.0.0.20 [12:55] why is there no such program (that handles skype, ventrilo, teamspeak all in one..) ? wouldn't that be just as useful as programs that handles msn, jabber, aim, icq all in one ? [12:55] hey nice .. thx airtonix [12:55] btw. .just realised that nautilus now has an 'extra pane' (via f3) [12:55] KettleCorn: that eliminates network from our problem .. [12:55] very useful [12:55] lukus, yep, although you cant see it in that screen shot i just checked mine and it has an item "edit location" with the pencil icon [12:56] can anybody help me how to connect to interet using bluetooth in ubuntu 10.04 , i got option to connect to internet when i setup bluetooth connection with my phone but in network manager it shows my phone's mac address available but when i click it nothing happens and it shows disconneted again [12:56] airtonix, that's the feature I liked [12:56] carneiro: I followed this guide here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-setup-debian-ubuntu-linux-iscsi-initiator/ the next command I inputted was: [12:56] simply because it allowed me to copy and past paths to the command line [12:56] i downloaded cursor selection and installed it [12:56] Folks, need help installing librtmp. where to find it, download it...THX! [12:56] how do i open it? [12:56] floating, same reason why there isn't one program that does everything for you... it would be bloated and when one part of it died you wouldn't be able to use the other parts [12:57] carneiro: iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.1994-12.com.promise.e0.81.65.55.1.0.0.20 --portal 192.168.0.26:3260 --login [12:57] KettleCorn: what does /var/log/messages file say ? [12:57] but programs such as gaim is striving for success having msn, icq, jabber, aim [12:57] carneiro: after that I restarted the service, and it tried to connect to all four targets but said it could only connect to the first. one sec for log message: [12:58] and pidgin [12:58] KettleCorn: put it on Pastebin.com [12:58] carneiro: http://pastebin.com/5Eg3uE23 === rbr_ is now known as szeta [12:59] in overall it is more bloated to have skype, ventrilo and teamspeak installed than to have one a bit more bloated single program [13:00] why there [13:00] 's so much rhetorics about sudo > root ? [13:00] KettleCorn: seems alright to me .. can u paste the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [13:00] Why does Ubuntu not detect when I put a CD in my disc drive? [13:00] guys im using gcursor i select a cursor [13:00] but it doesnt change it [13:00] any ideas why? [13:00] meaning that if you use couple of them, having them run simulatenously, it most likely consumes more resources and is more clumsier to use [13:00] Well, it did detect my CD a moment ago, but now it decided to say 'fuck it'.

[13:03] KettleCorn: u r familiar with fdisk right ? [13:03] carneiro: I'm afraid not that much, no :/ [13:03] carneiro: I assume it partitions drives, not sure what else [13:04] KettleCorn: as soon as u do sudo fdisk /dev/sg2 type the n command and create a new partition [13:04] does Ubuntu 10.04 still support creating software RAID 0 at install? [13:05] What was the command to show system messages in GNOME? In previous GNOME versions it was gnotify. === administrator is now known as Guest5888 [13:05] carneiro: whats the n command? I tried just typing "n" and hitting enter, also "new" [13:05] Ive got my finger over the button to resize my partition, I just can't until I know that Ubuntu still supports creating a software RAID 0 at install [13:06] can anybody help me how to connect to interet using bluetooth in ubuntu 10.04 , i got option to connect to internet when i setup bluetooth connection with my phone but in network manager it shows my phone's mac address available but when i click it nothing happens and it shows disconneted again [13:06] KettleCorn: n is new partitiion command ; are u getting any output for p command ?

[13:07] 2.6.32-22-generic kernel sucks :-! === r1z1 is now known as sec-r1z [13:07] KettleCorn: Yes P is just for printing ... fdisk wont "touch" your disk until u do Write (w command ) [13:08] ok one sec [13:08] why is Gparted telling me to boot to windows to run chkdsk [13:08] is there no linux equivalent? [13:08] Taev: Is this NTFS partition ? [13:09] carneiro: ok you know how after typing fdisk you get a prompt that says "Command (m for help):"? well, when I do fdisk on my sg2 device, that never happens, it just prints a newline and puts my cursor on the line below my previous input. almost as if it doesn't start fdisk [13:09] yeah [13:09] its an NTFS partition [13:09] when I try and resize it, it tells me there is at least 1 bad sector [13:09] and to boot to windows and run chkdsk [13:10] KettleCorn, fdisk -l will show the available devices fdisk can "see" [13:10] Taev: the closest thing is ntfsfix from ntfsprogs [13:10] well I just thought it was strange for a linux program to tell me to boot to windows [13:10] pure_hate: ok I assume my iSCSI device can't be seen then [13:10] carneiro: guesses are that my iSCSI device can't be seen, but I don't know to what extent [13:12] Taev: it makes sense; to fix a MS filesystem use MS tools. they know it better than anyone. [13:12] how to report a bug to ubuntu developers [13:12] !librtmp [13:12] i just hope that Ubuntu 10.04's install CD has kept the simplicity for installing a software RAID 0 [13:12] !bugs | kanhiya [13:12] kanhiya: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [13:13] KettleCorn: try parted /dev/sg1 [13:13] so, how should one install librtmp? I need this library in order to watch rtmp streams [13:13] Taev: why would anyone use raid0 ? double the risk of data loss for what gain?

[13:17] carneiro: what I don't understand is if you need to enter an initiator name somewhere for iscsi to work properly [13:17] it is a resource hog [13:17] bazhang: Never used it can it stream .mkv files ? [13:17] but I guess they are not considering that [13:17] jellow, not sure, perhaps give it a try [13:17] carneiro: the guide I followed doesn't include any point at which I can do so. our target/portal has a defined initiator name, which we had to supply when connecting with iSCSI via globalSAN in Mac OS X. without that, it would say connected but wouldn't show any drive [13:18] have u checked the line node.session.auth.username = My_ISCSI_USR_NAME [13:19] KettleCorn: is that allrite ? [13:19] carneiro: no, I assumed that had to do with CHAP authentication..? maybe that is where I'm stupid [13:20] carneiro: we're not using CHAP, and that part is under the CHAP section, which is what made me skip it. I wouldn't know what to enter there? [13:21] KettleCorn: u need some authentication [13:21] guys anybody knows how to install python-xml on ubuntu 10.04 ???

[13:24] carneiro: yeah I think that's how it should work. Our Promise VessRAID 1730i unit doesn't, on the other hand. We tried activating CHAP in every way possible via the Web interface, and we could connect as usual without any authentication at all. Pretty crappy if you ask me!

Or am I just better of by downgrading my ubuntu release? [13:40] markitoxs : there is webmin ofcourse [13:41] how you guys feel about webmin? YOu think its a good option? [13:41] markitoxs: u get https access of the server .. n if u need u can have cmd line as well [13:41] markitoxs: no [13:42] !webmin | markitoxs [13:42] markitoxs: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:42] Or alternative you can use the SQL mod and write your own panel [13:42] markitoxs: I hear a lot of people bash it like crazy, but I'm not sure why. Ubuntu has stopped it from being in the official ppa I think, probably for some good reasons. We use it at work and my colleague loves it. We tried switching to Ebox and we couldn't do squat with it [13:42] markitoxs: ssh is your friend, webmin your enemy [13:42] thats what im trying to tell my boss, lol [13:42] markitoxs: feel free to quote me :) [13:42] why there's so much rhetorics in Ubuntu about sudo > root ? [13:42] webmin is the battle I'll never understand and/or see the end of [13:43] iceroot: why is it the enemy? what's so bad about it? I'm just trying to understand the negative rep it has [13:43] * patdk-wk hates webmin [13:44] !ot [13:44] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:44] KettleCorn: e.g. you get conffiles like httpd.conf.dpkg.webmin.old [13:44] !webmin | KettleCorn [13:44] KettleCorn: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:44] carneiro, any ideas on my question? [13:44] !ebox [13:44] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [13:45] oh my god..did i just start a flamewar? :D [13:45] markitoxs: no don't worry, it's something that's constantly brewing I think :) [13:46] iceroot: ok so what, it creates unnecessary files? or what are these .old files? [13:46] KettleCorn: its messing up the confs and the divert-processes dpkg is using [13:46] iceroot: ok, so what does that mean in the end? it's hard to uninstall? or can it actually break something? [13:47] I wanted to get ebox for my samba server, but it was 80MB, too much for a meager task [13:47] ok, so firefox keeps freezing up on me, but I am not sure why exactly. What can I do to narrow it down?? [13:47] KettleCorn: it can break your system [13:47] when you upgrade the package [13:47] it can get totally screwed [13:47] KettleCorn: yes, specially when you update the system [13:47] iceroot: what's the worst that can happen? I'm not using webmin myself but as I said my colleague loves it, and he's eager to install it on our VPS we just rented. I'm not sure it's a good idea to install it, but as long as he thinks it's great and I don't have any arguments against it.. [13:48] iceroot: ok, I bet a reply to that would be that we probably wont update the system, instead keeping it at 9.10 === dreamy is now known as dreamy_ [13:48] no security patchs? [13:48] KettleCorn: dont use webmin, because of messung up the conffiles [13:49] iceroot: ok and conffiles are important system files that we really don't want to be messed up? [13:50] KettleCorn: conffiles are a mechanismus dpkg is using [13:51] my biggest issue with webmin, is it seems to be way too much of a hack [13:51] and it seems like you do it their way or no way [13:51] KettleCorn: have a look at divert and conffiles in the debhelper manual [13:51] so if you need something it doesn't understand, or want to do it alittle bit at all manually, you can't, or shouldn't [13:52] how to do remote desktop connection ? [13:52] kanhiya, as client or server? [13:52] iceroot: but the worst that could happen though, as a result of webmin crapping out, is something like a systemwide update not working? can it potentially render a system non-bootable? [13:53] kettlecorn, yes, it touchs conf files, it can make the system unusable [13:53] Does anyone know of a way to upgrade a release once it's gone beyond it's EOL? The EOL upgrade instructions aren't working. [13:53] nothing like messing up nsswitch and /etc/shadow [13:53] patdk-wk: ok thanks [13:53] Sir_Confused: how/where are they failing ?

[13:53] drizzt_: i am not a pro, i want to connect with my friend's pc remotely [13:54] kanhiya, have a look at teamviewer its easy, simple and neat [13:54] erUSUL: aptitude update is getting 404's from the repo's and do-release-upgrade is returning no update available [13:54] do-release-upgrade -p [13:54] Sir_Confused: but for eoled releases you have to change the repositories by hand [13:54] !eol [13:54] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

Each pair of monitors is a separate xserver. [15:05] EDinNY: prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; you can change the ip to anything you want. [15:05] Dr_Willis, do i just go disable everything for browsers/"social" apps in gconf? [15:05] But when I maximize an application it covers both monitors, but i want it to only maximize on one monitor [15:06] How can I accomplish this? [15:06] bastid_raZor: done that, but I want the line "search mydomainname" in that file too === antonio_ is now known as god === god is now known as god-mode [15:06] bastid_raZor, : and tell me please, where is the user profile of OO ?

[15:08] the odd thing is that I have the directory, but ls -a doesnt list it === msanchez_afk is now known as msanchez [15:09] sburjan: ls -a |grep open <- should list a few files which contain "open" including your oo.o dir [15:09] yes :) [15:09] sorry [15:10] gotta clear the clutter lol [15:10] anyone? [15:10] i mean, it'd be good to at least update bash(1) to reflect whatever it is that's been changed [15:11] raggi: Can you try to keep things all on one line, it's much easier to follow with all of the activity in here :) [15:12] any body know good php irc channel? [15:13] shiftingcontrol: ##php [15:13] according to bash(1), /etc/profile should be sourced for all logins. in ubuntu 10.x /etc/bash.bashrc is sourced for all logins, even though it claims (in its header) to only be sourced for interactive logins [15:13] h00k: ^^^ [15:13] can anyone help with monitor setup in Ubuntu 9.10 [15:13] shiftingcontrol: You may need to be registered and identified to join, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [15:13] Pici:it seems it is suffering from overflow throttle attack.

I use it full time [15:16] paul15353:depends on your usage.he problem is yu can't develop flash in linux [15:17] virtualisation works really well -> so you can always run windows from within ubuntu if necessary [15:17] i would need for surfing the web, creating music and some video editing [15:17] bastid_raZor:I have tried substitution and prepends, but either you can't do search that way or I was using the wrong keyword [15:17] you'll be fine [15:17] paul15353:i m happy with ubuntu,i rarely use windows.(personal choice) [15:17] virtualbox is superb [15:17] wine is good for simple windows programs you need to use [15:18] paul15353:linux has got all those features,yu can be safe,no need t worry [15:18] would fruity loops(music editing software) be considered a simple windows program?

I might have installed it after [15:21] the one major problem im having with ubuntu is the way my internet(mozilla firefox) is laid out everything is really clausterphobic on it [15:21] 3 [15:21] gparted damaged pen drive. after that it cant be detected by ubuntu, opensues, mandriva. is it damaged permanently? if not how to repair it?

[15:24] I have nvidia graphics. I have twin view on, but the desktop is stretched across both monitors so when I maximize a window it fills both monitors [15:24] ok there on one line... sorry bout that [15:25] this super huge chat window is hard to get used to. [15:25] joshua_roberts: that happens to me sometimes (usually after a game crashes). I find that just restarting gdm works for me [15:25] I have tried that, no luck. [15:25] joshua_roberts: control+alt+f1, login, sudo restart gdm [15:26] Might work. Might not. Just make sure you save anything open as it'll kill your session. [15:26] albertz: I had similar problem with an old monitor and the "nomodeset" option fixed that, try to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add nomodeset to the line beginning with # kopt=, then run sudo update-grub [15:26] darthvies: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScreensaverAsWallpaper [15:26] freak it i guess i'ma re-install, i can't remember whee the file was i put sideband addressing in...

[15:28] hey everyone, I am trying to luksFormat a file but cryptsetup complains that it cannot open the device with read-only access. Any clues why that could be?

[15:29] is it in the xorg.conf? http://pastebin.com/fS5T8xX6 my monitors are part of a metamode under screen 0 so that they share a virtual desktop space. would editing the xorg.conf fix this and let me have monitor one house the desktop and monitor 2 just be extra desktop space?

[15:43] Recently the disk containing my ubuntu failed and I had to remove it from my computer [15:44] Now I'm getting no such device grub errors [15:44] ezra-s, google before askin here is my advice [15:44] google is lame [15:44] RedXIII: so you jhave just a windows macjhine now? [15:44] k-rad, did last weekend [15:44] How can I restore my windows disk back to MBR? [15:44] sometimes [15:44] Dr_Willis: Yes. [15:44] Brasilllllllllll [15:44] RedXIII: use a windows cd/dvd and restore the windows bootloader with the proper commands. [15:44] hi, how can I lock the screen with an Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD? [15:44] Is there any way to still use GRUB? [15:45] people can provide much more relevant info...more so then a search engine with paid listings [15:45] I'm not sure I have a windows disk handy. [15:45] RedXIII: not that i know of.. since it wants files from the ubuntu/linux partitions [15:45] bleh. [15:45] RedXIII: you could pop in a flash drive and do a mini install of ubuntu to it. :) i guess.. but thats a little extreme [15:46] i have a usb stick with alt install and another with damnsmall linux.. [15:46] RedXIII: there may be other ways to restore teh bootloader. check in #windows [15:46] i was able to do a good install to hd after a bit [15:47] i'm wondering if its worth getting ubu 10? [15:47] i have sb live and some wifi adapters.. does it support wifi-g / n? [15:47] it all depends on the chipset. [15:47] Dr_Willis: In fact my manager tried using an alternate cd to upgrade from karmic to lucid and it resulted in a dead system. So we're a bit leery about the upgrade process at the moment. We don't want to kill the office connection for an afternoon, but if alternative-cd isn't working I'm not sure what the choice is. [15:47] and proberly it does. [15:48] and i've heard lots of people have issues with sblive and x-fi soundcards [15:48] funkyweasel: why kill a connection? Im confused on that issue? I can do a clean install in less then an hr. [15:48] I want to convert a video file to raw YUV420 data. is there a handy tool for that in Ubuntu? [15:48] sblive is a differnt card then a x-fi card... Unless creative has gotten creative in their naming again [15:49] dr_ they have [15:49] dr_willis: It's a work machine. I'd rather not do a clean install. I would like to do an upgrade. We share an adsl connection amongst the dozen or so office pcs, so I'd like to avoid monopolising the connection. [15:49] Ive used sblive cards ages ago with few issues.. X-fi used to be a problem.. but not sure how supported it is now. Ive not heard anyone ask about x-fi here in ages. [15:49] x-fi is sblive xc [15:49] not much diffrences [15:49] Dr_Willis: If network upgrade is the only way to do it reliably then fair enough. I want to exhaust the other possibilities first. [15:50] dunno about the platnum or gamer verstions tho [15:50] about 3 people asked about x-fi static issues today /last night [15:51] i think i'll make an install cd anyway =c [15:51] funkyweasel: i thought the alt-cd was supposed to work as a repo for upgrading.. ive never done it that way [15:51] i'm tired of messin with 8.04 getting it perfect..and then spontneously messes up [15:51] Dr_Willis: This is what I am trying to do :) [15:52] ubydoobydo: You might want to head over to #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chatter, but please keep this channel for support questions and answers only :) [15:52] xD [15:52] i do.. i rly try [15:52] ubutuzero: if you are having hd issues and bad blocks You should be looking into buying a new HD.. [15:52] I am having an issue video calling with skype on Ubuntu 10.04 - when I go to test my video device it see my camera (and I see my own image) however it does not display any video feed (mine or theirs) when I make a call... [15:53] ubutuzero: i got a 1.5 tb with some bad spots. but luckly they are all on the 'first' partitiion.. i dont plan on using that hd for anything imporntant. [15:53] is there away to stop the "amplified" sound in ubuntu? i.e. keeping db gain at 0.0 max? [15:53] Man! [15:53] alsamixer? [15:53] is there anyone who can help me configure my xorg.conf? [15:54] ubydoobydo, but i cant lock the 100% as unamplified....as soon as i turn my volume wheel on my keyboard..it goes up to the "amplified" 100% [15:54] your can actually turn off the amp with alsamixer? [15:54] joshua_roberts: nope, nobodys done that in years ;) [15:54] !details | joshua_roberts [15:54] joshua_roberts: 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 ..." [15:54] as well as the 3db boost [15:54] ubydoobydo, i can turn it off (by bringing volume down to 0.0db gain...but i cant lock it there [15:55] Dr_Willis: But when I try adding the alternative cd as a software source I get "E:Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture?" [15:55] you could disable or re assiang the hot key that pumps it up to full volume xD [15:55] Dr_Willis: But it *is* a burn of the 10.04 iso for i386! Frustrating. [15:55] or mute it? [15:55] ubydoobydo, but i want to be able to go to min and max with the wheel, but avoid going up to the amplified part... [15:56] what makes it amplified?? just being at 100% [15:56] /join #drupal-support [15:56] nvidia-settings is not giving me what I need. Ubuntu 9.10x64 2 nvidia video cards, 4 monitors. 2 Xserver sessions, one for each pair of monitors. But when I do this I get a huge virtual desktop that spans both monitors, also my maximized applications span both monitors. [15:56] trying to run a ubuntu 8 VMWare harddrive on Virtual box, I get http://imagebin.org/102099. Anyone have any suggestions? [15:56] oops---sorry [15:56] if the volume goes up more than 75% it enteres the amplified sectoin...and gets distorted [15:57] i want my 75% to be the new 100% sort of [15:57] I want maximized applications to only take up one monitor, having something more like the extended desktop feature in windows instead of a huge virtual desktop. [15:57] hmm that's tricky [15:57] is https://help.ubuntu.com down for anyone else? [15:57] joshua_roberts: can't you select "twinview" or "extended desktop" somewhere? [15:58] dont know why it distorts as soon as i skip the "unamplified" marker in sound control [15:58] hello everyone. [15:58] maccam94, seems down here [15:58] sounds get all hissy [15:58] Has anyone here successfully from desktop karmic to lucid using the alternative cd? [15:58] vulf^24^m: are you adjusting the pcm channel volume? [15:58] maccam94 yes [15:58] i don't know of a way to restrict how far the "wheel" can be set.. like a limit to max gain etc...but with pumped volume hissy is normal..without filters..static and distortion could destroy headphones tho [15:58] forceflow: I can select twinview and that is the source of the problem. Twinview generates one huge virtual desktop, one screen that is stretched across two monitors [15:59] sipior, pcm is at max in alsamixer..and reads 0.0db that way...should i put that down and master up? [15:59] i would like to: configure an ubuntu machine, 'freeze' this configuration (on an iso file, or other file format) and deploy it on a cluster via PXE. what system would you suggest? [15:59] vulf^24^m: yes. [15:59] funkyweasel: what's the actual problem you're having? (don't address it to me -- I'm @ work and might not be able to see it) -- [15:59] !anyone [15:59] 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? [15:59] 24 you could bring down all the rest of the volume controls to 75% [15:59] I am not sure what I need to do to fix the problem, but it is not something I seem to be able to fix in nvidia-sttings [15:59] er settings [15:59] then the wheel controls the main volume... [15:59] SlidingHorn: Understood, I will be more specific. [15:59] right? [15:59] vulf^24^m: at any rate, it should reduce your hissing audio problem. [15:59] sipior, unfortunately the volume controller seems to "up" everything pcm and master [16:00] vulf^24^m: there should be a configuration option to tie the controller to a single control [16:01] sipior, that i didn't know...any idea how? :) [16:01] I am trying to upgrade from Karmic Desktop to Lucid using the alternative-cd. Unforunately when I try to add the cd as a source it either fails to recognise the cd ("E:Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture?") or get stuck trying to 'unmount cd'. [16:01] vulf^24^m: which mixer are you using? [16:01] pulseaudio [16:01] so that is why I am wondering if I need to edit xorg.conf... [16:01] lol ubuntustudio hasn't replied to my question..about nvida support being better in a studio version...30min+ counting xD [16:01] ubydoobydo: its ubuntu based .. nvidia support should be identical [16:01] Also the instructions at help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD are wrong. No such path exists on my downloaded alternative cd. [16:02] hi, i was trying to upgrade the kernel in one of our ec2 ubuntu vm's, but it gave errors it couldn't find something, don't exactly recall what it couldn't find, but it couldn't find it in /proc/misc file. Because of this grub didn't get updated. I can do this manually but I don't want to cause potential updates with the next update. It was a default non-modified image btw just ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (10.04 32bit server small inst [16:02] joshua_roberts: err.. after enabling twinview. i always restart the X server (or reboot) that makes sure all the apps are using the twinview setting. if you just 'apply' the setting and DONT restart X. i find some apps get confused., [16:02] sipior, pulseaudio [16:02] where would i put a sideband addressing code for my nvidia card? i forgot where i put it, and this may be the source of my problems? [16:03] joshua_roberts: on a clean install i normally do this.. update/uopgrade/install nvidia drivers.. reboot, enable twinview. restart gdm. [16:03] anyone? [16:03] trying to run a ubuntu 8 VMWare harddrive on Virtual box, I get http://imagebin.org/102099. Anyone have any suggestions? [16:03] what's better in performance a 32bit or a 64bit cpu? [16:03] Dr_Willis: I have tried that. I even restarted the computer [16:03] well the driver update not. I will try that and see [16:03] 64... [16:03] joshua_roberts: ive been doing it this way for years.. never had an issue. you DID save the settings to the 'xorg.conf' ? [16:04] no I installed nvidia drivers yes [16:04] yes [16:04] vulf^24^m: have a look here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=223558 . i think your problem is the flat-volume feature of pulseaudio. [16:04] Ah, nm. Will try a reboot, and do the network upgrade :/ [16:04] how do I install System|Services in 10.04? [16:04] joshua_roberts: what video card? this has worked the same for me for my 5500, 6800, and 8800. and even my laptops whateverithas.. [16:04] mataks: with a 32 Bit CPU you can only use 4GB RAM [16:04] thanks sipior :) [16:05] is ther a gui server edition of 10? [16:05] quadro fx 470 and geforce 9500GT [16:05] gen so these 32bit machines with 32gb of ram are a fluke? [16:06] joshua_roberts: what app is having the issue? i just enabled twinvieqw on this new install and saved to the xorg.conf THEN hit 'apply' to get it going right now.. and the apps seem to be workign right === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32Lg [16:06] ubydoobydo: the pxe kernel can have more then 4gb of ram i recall [16:06] or was that pex ? [16:06] Dr_Willis: PAE [16:06] but you are better off using a 64bit kernel with that much ram [16:06] Dr_Willis the OS is having issues. If I maximize an app, any app, it covers both monitors [16:06] sipior: I like pie :) [16:07] joshua_roberts: its not doing it here. Sounds liek twinview is not gettting enabled. [16:07] mataks: what's better, a ferrari or a jeep? You honestly can't tell w/o context can you? On the highway the ferrari will go much faster, in the desert it will be a big problem however... [16:07] Dr_Willis: doesn't everyone? [16:08] when do you drive a ferrari in the desert? [16:08] joshua_roberts: heres my xorg.conf - 2 monitors. http://pastebin.com/zAHsRP0p [16:08] in ubuntu how will i know my system summary or an overview for my computer.. i can't find it [16:08] !info hardinfo [16:08] hardinfo (source: hardinfo): Displays system information.

[16:09] thanks [16:10] After a small regular package update, the network manager is no longer displayed on my top panel, even though it seems to be running. How do I get it back? [16:11] Is there a Ubuntu server help channel? [16:11] Mrcheesenips: #ubuntu-server [16:11] thanks [16:11] amaurea, try "killall gnome-panel" in a terminal [16:11] anodesni: the panels went away, and then came back, looking identical [16:12] amaurea: try "nm-applet" [16:12] amaurea, and the network manager is still gone? [16:12] anodesni: yes [16:12] amaurea, then press Alt+F2 and typ in "nm-applet" [16:12] -.-' [16:13] hi === drothli is now known as drothli_w [16:13] lol 64-bit ubu 10 is not recommended for daily usage??? why no!?!?! [16:13] not.. [16:13] how can i override monitor numbering on X ? i have latest fglrx drivers installed [16:13] anodesni, Beyecixramd: It says that it couldn't acquire the session service as it already is taken. It also says that it couldn't initialize the dbus manager [16:13] amaurea: try to reboot [16:13] i have dual view output, but i want to swap the monitor numbering [16:13] Beyecixramd: I have tried that. No change [16:13] ubydoobydo: FUD... it's completely safe [16:14] Beyecixramd: nm-applet is running according to ps [16:14] amaurea: killall nm-applet [16:14] Is it possible to optimize the filesystem during the boot fsck with "fsck -D"? "/fsckoptions" file ? [16:14] then run it again [16:14] taisa: define "optimize" [16:14] bey then why does ubuntu.com tell me its not? [16:14] taisa: if you want to defragment... you don't need it [16:14] ubydoobydo: FUD... [16:14] amaurea, try sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start, [16:15] like "fsck -D" [16:15] amaurea, and try to run "ck-launch-session" [16:15] amaurea, then run nm-applet again [16:15] Beyecixramd: I killed nm-applet and then started it manually. It seems to be running, but it does not appear on the panel. It outputs ** (nm-applet:3075): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb [16:15] anodesni: Ok, will try [16:16] what is fud man? [16:16] ubydoobydo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt [16:16] anodesni: dbus is already running, so I guess I should stop it first [16:16] amaurea, no [16:16] ahahaha [16:17] amaurea, actually, I have that message too, for me it works. There should be something else wrong [16:17] anodesni: but basically, nm-applet seems to be working perfectly, except that it doesn't appear in the panel [16:17] amaurea, did you remove the notification area? [16:18] anodesni: I haven't done that on purpose, at least. but perhaps that also disappeared after the package updates [16:18] amaurea, try if you can add it again [16:18] Whats a good way to change the nice level of a service at bootup automatically? [16:19] anodesni: that did it. Thanks! [16:19] amaurea, of course I should have asked first === RedXIII`Alt is now known as RedXIII [16:20] Beyecixramd: "e2fsck -D" -> Optimize directories in filesystem by reindexing or sorting and compressing [16:21] Does anybody here managed to get vsynced video with the ati catalyst/fglrx driver with a R700 card? [16:21] taisa: that's not defragmenting [16:22] without compiling mplayer-vaapi [16:22] Drognan: you can specify the nice value as part of the service's init file. see "man 5 init" for details. [16:22] thx [16:22] Did an update on 10.04 and now the Gnome network manager applet is gone. Sigh Any ideas how to get it back? I need it to swap between different network setting at home and at work. [16:23] Ascavasaion, try adding the notification area [16:23] Beyecixramd: I know, i didnt want to defrag. I copied many GBs to my harddisk and now My Ubuntu seams rather slow. [16:23] anodesni: How? [16:23] taisa: do that, then :) [16:23] Ascavasaion, right click on an empty space on the gnome panel, choose add to panel, then select the notification area and drag it to the panel [16:24] anodesni: It is there [16:24] Dr_Willis: from asking in #nvidia it seems that Xinerama does not currently support two Xscreens running twinview. The driver has no way of telling the window manager where the screens are. At least that is the theory === Zathara_OFF is now known as Zathara [16:24] anodesni: I right clicked and chose about, and it says it is the Notification Area [16:24] Lo, back again one last time with alternate-cd install issues. [16:24] Ascavasaion, try "killall gnome-panel", or alt+f2 and then "nm-applet" [16:24] !wanda [16:25] Beyecixramd: But how can I do that? "/home" is encoded and needs to be unounted when using e2fsck. [16:25] The official help page says that after burning the alternative-cd iso and putting it in the drive you should be able to run 'gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade'. This file does not exist. Can someone please help? [16:25] I created a second USER account for my gf and gave her admin but so much stuff fails to load it just doesn't work. [16:26] funkyweasel: make sure it's mounted [16:26] How do you add wanda the fish? Ok I forgot the command/package name [16:26] anodesni: I did the killall gnome panel from a terminal and the panel reappeared on its own and the network monitor is there :) thanks a stack. [16:26] My mouse keeps freezing on startup of lucid, only way to stop it is to alt f2 and start a program like firefox... it then comes back and never freezes again, just started doing this.... any ideas? [16:26] Sam_Fisher: explain on that please ? [16:26] hi all, I am a major newbie to everything Ubuntu so please bare with me. To start of with the basics when watching a .vob in totem or even vlc the edges of walls look jagged - playing the file on Windows does not have this problem.. any ideas at all? Thanks [16:26] somethinginteres: look in http://help.ubuntu.com and look at the video codecs and dvd playing info, make sure you have the right stuff installed and configured [16:26] ikonia: I can see it on the desktop, when I explore it I see no "/cdrom/cdromupgrade" file/path. Is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD out of date? [16:26] Ascavasaion, that's a bug, I have it too. Sometimes it just disappears. You can add a launcher on the panel that runs "killall gnome-panel" [16:27] whats the command to force emacs to use a major mode? [16:27] Ascavasaion, then when it happens again, just click the launcher [16:27] wifi struggles to load and asks for already given wpa key and then hangs on hitting ENTER [16:27] anodesni: Brilliant, thank you. [16:27] in general it hangs a lot [16:28] funkyweasel: open a terminal and do "ls -la /cdrom/ [16:28] will do ikonia. Just FYI this is a vob on my hard disk not on a DVD - playing the DVD it looks fine [16:28] funkyweasel: sorry "ls -la /cdrom" [16:28] Sam_Fisher: just on her user [16:28] ikonia, wifi struggles to load and asks for already given wpa key and then hangs on hitting ENTER [16:28] somethinginteres: understood [16:28] !fortune [16:28] ikonia, yes [16:28] Sam_Fisher: try creating a 3rd user and compare [16:29] ikonia: I'm concerned that no-one I have asked has managed a successful upgrade from karmic to lucid using the alternative-cd [16:29] Sam_Fisher: how are you creating the user for her ? [16:29] funkyweasel: I've done it [16:29] My mouse keeps freezing on startup of lucid, only way to stop it is to alt f2 and start a program like firefox... it then comes back and never freezes again, just started doing this.... any ideas? [16:29] ikonia, USERS and GROUPS [16:29] Sam_Fisher: cool, sounds right [16:29] I followed some old instructions about installing nvidia drivers, I ended up with a broken system.

[16:30] i have virtual users connecting to ftp server (mysql), and i have all ftp user dir's under /srv/www [16:30] cheery: why did you not use the current nvidia drivers from the software driver tool [16:30] funkyweasel: can you pastebin it please ? [16:30] !fortune-mod [16:30] ikonia: I want to install drivers that support opencl [16:30] rascal999: mysql is not an ftp server [16:30] any ideas why my SSH key is not loaded into the gnome agent when i log in or saved between sessions? ssh-add works as expected though [16:30] i made a new group called ftpusers which own all of /srv/www, and i've assigned uid of everything in /srv/www to nobody, is this correct?

I removed noveau drivers. [16:31] If my boot time takes too long, like when running a fsck on boot for example, my wifi doesnt connect, doesnt even enable, I have to /etc/init.d/networking restart.

[16:34] Sam_Fisher: doesn't really matter, but try to remain consistant with your test [16:34] ikonia: I got my system into so bad condition it refuses to restart without liveCD [16:34] cheery: then you need to work through the boot issues to work out what's gone wrong [16:34] ikonia: the trouble is in display drivers. [16:34] cheery: ok - so you need to back them out [16:35] Ok, I just slipped with the mouse in Nautilus, and I think I moved some folder into some other folder by accident, but I don't know which it was from or two. Is there some record of what I did? [16:35] *too, not two [16:35] arg! to! [16:35] ikonia: how? It's not perceptible how to run ubuntu without starting X11 [16:35] ikonia: yeah it is very strange it seems to be a gstreamer issue b/c of the same issue between players it's hard to explain the visual artefacts showing up and even stranger when I take a screenshot in totem it does not show any oddities [16:35] foobarbecue: user nautlius to search by modified date [16:35] ikonia, do i need to restart X or anything? [16:35] cheery: work backwards through the instructions, although I think you'll become stuck at where the binary installer puts the file [16:35] Sam_Fisher: nope [16:36] ikonia: I should first get into my system. [16:36] how do i add a startup daemon [16:36] ikonia, what is the quickest way to log into the new account? [16:36] somethinginteres: sounds like a thought through analysis [16:36] (without live CD that is.)

[16:37] does it make a difference if update-rc.d is not on the system? [16:37] need help setting up minicom to talk to a usb serial device that im trying to install gnu/linux on. the device is on ttyusb0 and i have told minicom to use that, but miicom status shows the connection as offline [16:39] hilem: update-rc.d must be on the system, [16:39] hilem: it's on all ubuntu systems [16:39] ikonia: I have virtual users auth'ing via mysql [16:39] Slart: from the 9.10 ubuntu haven't shown me the grub loading -stage since. [16:39] oh [16:39] rascal999: yup, I read that [16:39] cheery: huh? [16:39] i assumed it would be with the other rc files [16:40] Slart: OH. [16:40] is rc.local run by a specific user or all users? [16:40] it's SHIFT now. [16:40] hilem: all [16:40] ikonia: so having /srv/www owned by group ftpusers and owned by user nobody is an acceptable setup? [16:40] ikonia: ok good thanks! [16:40] okay, I'll try ti [16:40] rascal999: depends how your user (unix - not mysql) setup is, is the ftpservice run by the user "nobody" ?

[16:43] ikonia: no [16:43] I'm trying to use lucid with PXE, I have it booting till it kernel panics, what I'm tryiong to figure out is the root option I've tried /dev/rd/0, /dev/sr0 and /dev/ram0 and they call VFS panix [16:43] ikonia: how do i check which user is running it? [16:43] what do I give the default config for a root device [16:43] ikonia: I disabled all other software sources other than the cd because I want to do a local upgrade, then pick up what I need afterwards. [16:43] rascal999: look in the config file [16:44] ikonia: pure-ftpd does not have one [16:44] funkyweasel: yup, I see what you're sayinig, however it appears to be struggling to read the source file [16:44] rascal999: yes it does [16:44] "AT" - how to execute ffplay? it does nothing instead of notify-send [16:44] ikonia: it has files under /etc/pure-ftpd/conf [16:44] rascal999: yes, so that's the config files [16:44] so what the nick name for altnernate version 10? lucid something? [16:45] ikonia: it has nothing which specifies the user running it [16:45] ubydoobydo: alternative has nothing to do with the nickname [16:45] guys any ideas how to install scapy2 on Ubuntu 10.04 ??? :):) [16:45] ubydoobydo: ubuntu 10.04 has desktop and alternative install CD's [16:45] rascal999: it does [16:45] ikonia: MinUID? [16:45] ikonia: I mounted the correct ISO this time (*blush*). But still no joy. Is what I am trying even possible? Or is lucid too new to reliably upgrade with alternative-cd? [16:45] so it wouldn't be scrappy lucid or something ? === ericm_ is now known as ericm-Zzz [16:45] "AT" - how to execute ffplay? it does nothing instead of notify-send [16:45] again, how can i control my bandwidth speed [16:45] rascal999: not got a config file to confirm [16:46] ubydoobydo: no [16:46] funkyweasel: it should work like a charm , just looking at it now for you [16:46] i don't think [16:46] New2Ubuntu: traffic shapping [16:46] ikonia: Much appreciated. [16:46] pidgin crashes when i log in to yahoo...anyone else having this issue?? [16:46] rascal999: the configuration is in the mysql database [16:47] JackStoner, people still use Pidgin? That's so last week. [16:47] wad: Not really. [16:47] Sorry, but I have a new question. How can I e2fsck an encoded partition? Thx [16:47] wad: What do you use? [16:47] rascal999: or so the documentation suggests, I've not got an install to check on [16:47] New2Ubuntu: traffic shapping or just for wget its wide range of topic [16:47] wad what do u use? [16:47] scapy2 on 10.04 ?????????????? any ideas ? [16:47] wad: a lot of people do...empathy doesn't cut it for a lot of people. [16:47] wise_crypt: Traffic shapping? [16:47] sorry to go OT... [16:47] empathy still has a long way to go [16:48] funkyweasel: do a "sudo apt-get update" first [16:48] Empathy 2.30.1 [16:48] xD [16:48] wad does it support file sending to msn and yahoo??? [16:48] ikonia: Oh dear. Again with the red face on my part.

[16:49] ikonia: Ah, hang on - I do allow it to use network mirrors, then force it to proceed using local resources. Then, unless I miss my guess and it works this time, it will fail. [16:49] If my Gnome panel gets too cluttered... is there a way to make more space, besides the obvious of removing applets? [16:50] huh [16:50] at least now it's working well again [16:50] JackStoner: check out this comparison: http://www.workswithu.com/2009/09/15/pidgin-vs-empathy-feature-comparison/ [16:50] Ascavasaion, i think there's a drawer applet where u can put some icons/shortcuts into [16:50] JackStoner, I've never tried sending files to people on msn or yahoo, so I don't know. So far it seems pretty good for me, though. [16:50] JackStoner, it came with Ubuntu 10.04, so I just used it out of the box. [16:50] wad that feature doesnt work on empathy [16:50] !nvidia [16:50] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:51] JackStoner, ah, okay. Good thing I never need to do that, then. :) [16:51] JackStoner: Aaaaah, yes... I remmeber seeing that applet on earlier versions of Ubuntu... thank you. [16:51] yw [16:51] "AT" - how to execute ffplay? it does nothing instead of notify-send [16:51] SlidingHorn, i still think i need to use pidgin, i need google talk for one [16:52] somethinginteres: cool [16:52] JackStoner: wad: also, pidgin is highly expandable with plugins etc. Empathy does not have a lot of them that some people find essential. === pjarnahom_away is now known as pjarnahom [16:53] SlidingHorn, makes sense. I'm not an IM power user. *shrug* [16:53] i am trying to install ubuntu on a desktop machine, for some reason when i get to the partition step, it does not show me any entries there, i tried deleting the existing (gentoo) partitions, and rebooting into the installation disc, still the same [16:53] I personally prefer the feel of Pidjin over Empathy. [16:53] ya, thats why i use pidgin [16:54] ikonia: Looks like what I am specifically trying to do is a known, unassigned bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/587411 [16:54] 10.04 how do I install System | Admin | Services? === Guest32572 is now known as pinkette [16:54] ikonia: So looks like what I am trying to do is *not* possible :( [16:54] funkyweasel: that's odd/disapointing [16:55] I'm sure it is [16:55] funkyweasel: he's using update manager [16:55] funkyweasel: have you got any 3rd party packages in from outside the ubuntu repos ? [16:55] ikonia: Isn't that what I am also using with cdrom/cdromupgrade though? [16:56] ikonia: I do, but I have removed all other repos including the ubuntu repos except for the alternative-cd iso. [16:56] funkyweasel: that maybe the problem, if those packages conflict with the upgrade packages (failed dependencies etc) [16:57] funkyweasel: it may not though [16:57] how to enable ati graphics card [16:57] !ati > akshay [16:57] akshay, please see my private message [16:57] ubuntu is greedy on windows network leaves not bandwidth for windows users, good for me bad for windows users [16:57] can anyone help me wit pidgin crashing??? [16:57] New2Ubuntu: you're mistaken, it's only as heavey as the functions you tell is to do [16:58] ikonia: I could try enabling all the repos again. I've spent so long on this that it's nearly time to close the office, so if it does end up using the network (and COMPLETELY invalidating the point of the exercise) then fair enough. [16:58] JackStoner: Try running it in debug mode (pidgin -d in a terminal) and see where it's crashing? [16:58] ikonia: But having non-standard software is enough to break a non-networked upgrade? That's extremely poor. [16:58] JackStoner: what are you doing when it crashes? what (if any) error messages are given? --hint: start it from a terminal to get error msgs: pidgin -d [16:58] funkyweasel: not really - ubuntu developers can't be responsible for compatability with external software [16:59] ikonia: Absolutely. But there's no way of ignoring those dependancies for an upgrade run? [16:59] funkyweasel: if I develop a bit of software that can only user glibc 2.5 only, and ubuntu wants to upgrade it to 2.6 - it can't, so that's not the ubuntu developers fault, that's yours for putting software on [16:59] funkyweasel: I'm sure there are command options to ignore dependencies [16:59] erusul> can u help me [16:59] SlidingHorn, jpds it crashes only when i try to login my yahoo account [16:59] akshay: System>Administration>hardware drivers [16:59] what would I need to type at the bootloader to force it to boot to a specific kernel and disk? [16:59] funkyweasel: apt-get -f install [16:59] ikonia: Fair enough. tbh though it's become a failed exercise for me because I've spent too long on it. [17:00] JackStoner: And the terminal says? [17:00] /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic at hd1,1 [17:00] ikonia: i have 10 user network 9 windows 1 ubuntu if that one ubuntu start to download updates etc it leaves nothing for 9 windows uses can not even open google [17:00] erusu> yes [17:00] erusul> no drivers [17:00] hi just installed ubuntu. however it's not searching for any wifi??? [17:00] New2Ubuntu: is the ubuntu machine the router for the others? [17:00] is it my laptop wifi card not compatible with u? [17:01] New2Ubuntu: how is that ubuntu's fault ? you're telling it to download updates using as much bandwidth as possible, you're meant to control your network at the network layer [17:01] akshay: what ati card do you have? what chip revision ? « lspci | grep -i vga » [17:01] guntbert: nope have adsl router lynksys [17:01] ikonia: In fairness I've watched New2 try to ask for a while how to throttle his own bandwidth.

[17:02] ikonia: Blame isn't so important - I am looking for a solution. If there is not one to my current circumstances I must either find a new solution or change circumstances. [17:03] erusul> i dont know....im not able to figure it out [17:03] funkyweasel: I wasn't talking about you passing blame [17:03] erusul> tell me what to do [17:03] "trickle" is a throttling tool isnt it [17:04] akshay: what problems are you having with the current drivers? no 3D ? low resolution ? [17:04] ikonia: what does !qos mean [17:04] really? [17:04] erusul> low resolution [17:04] okay.

[17:05] New2Ubuntu: there is a technique called "qos" I was looking for infomation for you, it's traffic shaping [17:05] bricky: vlc, totem, amarok, mplayer [17:05] wifig: yes [17:05] augdawg, yes [17:05] woo! [17:05] thanks! [17:06] ikonia: Okay, let's move past the blame bit then. Solutions are what matters, yes? I'm going to try switching back on the network repos, and try an upgrade from the alternative-cd ISO again. *Hopefully* the upgrade will hit local resources first, then network. :) If not it's not too important at this point as the office closes in 30 mins and if it does ignore local preferences then it's all good.

[17:51] lol is a Dutch word [17:51] is that normal? [17:52] Hello everyone, im trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 from a usb stick. A friend at work created the stick in windows with the universal usb installer v0.8. I have defined in Bios to boot from the USB stick and everything works like a charm. Im getting the install screen of ubuntu and starting the install. now i define my language and everything. BUT when the install is trying to get package content from "cd-rom" it fails. starts to get some of the [17:52] packages and then i get "there was a problem reading data from your cd-rom". have anyone gotten this before ? i have also tried to manually define a boot disk from boot cmd line. [17:52] sebsebseb irr min mo5i am not in a grammar class :/ [17:52] denni1: I think someone told me that before, anyway in dutch what does it mean? and yes a little off topic here [17:52] megabraker: I didn't understand the first bit [17:52] !usb | Beleriton [17:52] Beleriton: 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 [17:52] Beleriton: did you look at this? [17:53] Is there any quick wayy to remove the default keyring when conneting to wifi? [17:53] liminal: thats not normal and having 2 swap-partitions is pointless inmost cases. create one of the size you think you'll need, delete the other, create additional swap-files if you need more swap. [17:53] steffan: yes and i did try write this "install cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" and hit enter. [17:53] lol is equal to the word fun, but you can also verb it in Dutch, so usage would be pretty much the same. [17:53] denni1: oh ok [17:54] liminal: you can have sevarl differnt swap partitions all over the place. it dosent matter if they are primary or extended/logicals. linux dosent care. :) you can even have a swap file + swap partitions. [17:54] Krazyderek: This machine is the only linux machine on the net. I've experimented with all other machines shut down. I have tried most suggestions to network tuning I've found (mru etc) in vain. What troubles me is that it happens on all browser I've tried. What's common to them? Since reloading pages often helps I thought maybe it could be some cache problem. Or - some problems loading from mediaservers? [17:55] there is a debugger plugin for gedit? [17:56] How do install NDISGTK from the Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD environment? [17:56] @bjarni i doubt you'd have caching problems across multiple browsers... i've had problems with firefox not working with very specific pages unless i press reload multipl times but it was always limited to that browser [17:56] bjarni: how fast is your connection to name service? have you thought about running a local caching name server?

FRESH install, first boot [18:02] bjarni: my guess is that your web access is slow because of repeated, slowly-resolved dns queries. i'd say have a go at setting up nscd, see if it doesn't alleviate the problem. if you happen to use google chrome, try out the timeline tool in the Developer toolbox that's included.

However if your ISO then turns out to be bad, you installed from a bad ISO. Oh yeah and can also download from the torrent and use a torrent program to check the ISO :) [18:12] ok, so how do I start it?

I thought I knew how to change this. I have done it on 9.10 Jaunty. Need Help....... [18:14] OK, here's something odd. I have an openldap dir I snagged from a PPC debian machine and set up openldap to read the dir, to read the slapd.conf from that, everything seems to go OK EXCEPT when I do a search all I get in the logs is 'ldif_read_file: Permission denied for "/var/ldap/dc=dailyrepublicannews,dc=com.ldif"' now the weird thing is that everything in the /var/ldap folder is set to 0777 [18:14] !res|detrix [18:14] detrix: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[18:15] do I need to add cups to my startup? [18:15] Datz: if you come back once your on the CD [18:15] Pascat: Chat is empathy, so you can uninstall that to remove Chat, and Mail is evolution, same with that [18:15] It should be there right? [18:16] *nod* [18:16] Datz: I mean in the next hour on the Live CD [18:16] sebsebseb: shouldn't firefox check hash after download with ubuntu server? [18:16] Datz: I can guide you through doing the install with seperate /home doesn't take much [18:16] joshua_roberts: make sure it all works now, and well figure out the startup thing. [18:16] Datz: no Firefox don't do that [18:16] Pascat: trism: you cannot remove evolution without removing dependencies required by gnome (AFAIK) -- not sure how one would edit the indicator applet [18:16] sebsebseb, sorry, thats correct. I was meaning that I managed to get my resolutions back under jaunty. Under 10.04, I cant seem to do it. [18:17] :/ [18:17] anyone know why ubuntu would freeze on startup? Mouse moves, and I can get to console through ctrl+F3-6, but other then that nothing happens. cannot move windows, cannot open anything, nothing is responsive [18:17] I don't suppose anyone else here uses openldap with the ldif backend. :-} [18:17] SlidingHorn: that is not true [18:17] jcapinc: with a clean install? [18:17] hey guys rhythmbox's Control+W (close window) shortcut doesn't work, how come? Keyboard is fine, other shortcuts are fine, manually pressing the Close Window option works fine. [18:17] SlidingHorn: removing evolution will only remove evolution evolution-couchdb evolution-exchange evolution-indicator evolution-plugins; [18:17] I plugged my usb printer in and it has been detected [18:17] joshua_roberts: ok good :) [18:18] fairly clean, no special modifacations, newest nvidia driver, some applications installed, but the install is like 2 days old [18:18] trism: has that changed within the past couple releases? I thought sure I remembered removing it (this was a long time ago, but...) and it took out a LOT of dependencies that really doomed my system for a while [18:18] i have a file "dummy" containing a line *.scala and i would like to do something like "cat dummy | xargs kate" but that's not working because the star is not expanding; how can i fix that? [18:18] hi bazhang [18:18] jcapinc: what did you do most recently? [18:18] SlidingHorn: Pascat although if you don't want to remove evolution, you can remove the file /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution which adds it to the indicator applet [18:18] does ; comment out a line just like # ? anyone? [18:18] bazhang: sup ? [18:18] installled php5-xdebug [18:18] and the printer prints [18:18] lol [18:19] joshua_roberts: the easiest likely fix is to just reinstall cups "sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups" [18:19] so what about startup? [18:19] babalu: try using "eval" === x0x is now known as jungli [18:19] jcapinc: did you install a graphics card driver?

[18:19] yes I did, several re-starts ago === jungli is now known as Jungli [18:19] jcapinc: so you intalled a graphics card driver? [18:19] yes [18:20] jcapinc: Nivida? [18:20] yes [18:20] jcapinc: right ok [18:20] Krazyderek: it depends on what how whatever parses that config file reads it [18:20] jcapinc: and when you boot up what happens exactly? [18:20] @SlidingHorn it's in the smb.conf file for samba [18:20] babalu: have a look here, great resource: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [18:20] can someone walk me through what to typed, at command prompt, to get openssh server going? I am walking blind here! [18:20] @h00k it's in the smb.conf file for samba [18:20] hey is it ifconfig 192.169.2.40 eth0 to change my eth0 ip [18:20] starts seemingly normally, loads regular desktop, prompts for keyring password, then my mouse can move but no other input works, cannot type in password, cannot move window, no blinking curser [18:20] I THINK i'm logged in === Weust` is now known as Weust`afk [18:21] @h00k how do i find that out? [18:21] Hey Uh I forget the command to get a root terminal isnt it like SU -(something) [18:21] jcapinc: so you log in and then that? [18:21] Krazyderek: You would get better answers in the #samba channel -- it's geared specifically toward samba [18:21] yes, breezy [18:21] there is no log in, I have it to log in automatically [18:21] I have never used ubuntu before but I was slick at getting root access by just trying "sudo passwd root" :) [18:21] jub369: no - ifconfig eth0 inet netmask broadcast up === white is now known as gimpy734 [18:21] jcapinc: I don't know could be some kind of xorg issue though [18:21] @SlidingHorn duh!!! lol thanks [18:22] Krazyderek: If all of the other lines are commented using #, then it uses# to comment lines [18:22] seanjohn: sudo apt-get install openssh-server; should install it and start the service [18:22] !xorg | jcapinc [18:22] jcapinc: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[18:23] Basically, all I want is something to keep track of Facebook events. [18:23] bazhang: how are you ? [18:23] I am on no other microblogging service. [18:23] Pascat: without Gwibber on the me menu, or being used for something else, its rather pointless really, may as well remove :D [18:23] i have a file "dummy" containing a line *.scala and i would like to do something like "cat dummy | xargs kate" but that's not working because the star is not expanding; how can i fix that? <- so basically i have to use 'eval' but for instance "cat dummy | xargs eval kate" doesn't work :/ [18:23] BedMan is broadcast the gateway or DNS ?

[18:26] Pascat: then all geek to customize [18:26] Gnome is really really easy to customize. [18:26] Buttons840: it is odd that you would see the doc package and not the main package, since they are both in universe [18:26] Pascat: indeed [18:26] SlidingHorn: probably, i think guile is what i want [18:26] but not as powerful interface wise as Kubuntu... [18:26] Pascat: re starting why? with 10.04 Gnome isn't even how it should be, according to upstream I mean [18:27] Pascat: easy enough to fix though === sisu_math is now known as moomlyn [18:27] Pascat: yes well Gnome Shell is coming [18:27] Gnome 3 [18:27] starts seemingly normally, loads regular desktop, prompts for keyring password, then my mouse can move but no other input works, cannot type in password, cannot move window, no blinking curser [18:28] Prism? === Guest92686 is now known as downstream [18:28] Pascat: and I like Gnome 2, since its nice and keep it simple stupid [18:28] what the heck is Prism?

The monitor shuts off and the light blinks faster than when it is sleeping [18:28] how do you change the frequency to 60hz [18:29] Pascat: it's a plugin for Firefox that lets you run pages (ie gmail) as "apps" [18:29] ahh [18:29] Hello, I just installed the new version of ubuntu, and I want to put the close minimize and maxamize buttns back on the right side of the window.

[18:53] sine_: if you put Windows on after Ubuntu, it will mess with Grub, and then only Windows will boot, and re installing Grub is a pain [18:53] bricky: hey i have both installed and it works fine [18:53] sine_: if you have enough RAM, you can virtual machine Windows, and thats fine for most apps that aren't 3D [18:53] Whenever I reboot my ubuntu, I am not able to use wireless or mobile broadband, the drivers seem to vanish automatically! Please help :( [18:54] sebsebseb: Not if you install it properly. [18:54] worms, my kubuntu lags like no tomorrow it tried to load up 'netbook' manager even though I told it to load regular kde [18:54] sebsebseb: And by properly, I mean in kvm/virtualbox/vmware. [18:54] no i have virtualbox thats not an option for what i want to do. ill just do a fresh install of both, windows first [18:54] Kyle__: if Grub is on MBR, Windows will go over the MBR [18:54] sine_: what do you want to do? [18:54] and it asked me if I wanted to start up in GNU or KNU, I chose GNU and it starts in KDE. [18:54] anirvana: did you install a driver for your network adaptor, or does it automatically work when you turn on wireless? [18:54] hello [18:54] sine_: there may be good enough alternative apps :) they may work in Wine [18:54] someone wanna shed some light on that one? lol [18:54] sine_: the ones you want to run [18:54] bricky: which did you choose the default desktop manager? [18:54] can you help me please ? it'll be quick [18:55] Worms: GNU [18:55] !ask | Morgoth [18:55] !help | Morgoth [18:55] Morgoth: 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. :-) [18:55] worms: that's Gnome as far as I know. [18:55] So, anyone here using nfsv4 in Ubuntu at all? [18:55] ive been on ubuntu now for about 8 months, first time ive been able to fully migrate but over time there are some thing that i just cant run, like propellerheads Reason 4 music applications and also virtualdub and some other windows based apps [18:55] okey ! ;) Sorry if i make any mistake because i'm french [18:55] Kyle__: whats that? [18:55] How can i use apt-get to install all mono realted packages something like "apt-get install mono-*" to install all : monodevelop mono-gmcs mono-mcs ? [18:55] NullName : I installed the driver just 2 hrs ago from synaptic, Then I used Mobile broadband for 2 hrs now when I rebooted my system ,It's not detecting my mobile device modem, same happens for wireless too! [18:55] what happens if I uninstall KDE and it tries to boot into KDE? [18:55] sebsebseb: nfsv4. The fourth version of NFS :) Network-file-system. [18:55] Morgoth: ok well there is also a #ubuntu-fr [18:56] Kyle__: oh ok [18:56] could I just type 'gnome' or 'startx' in terminal and get it booting to gnome if thats the case [18:56] i just look for an image analyser who search the source of the image [18:56] bricky: it will ask you which boot loader to do [18:56] bricky: GDM or KDM [18:56] bricky: KDM is better :) [18:56] which* [18:56] bricky: boot loader, I mean log in screen [18:56] not on my pc sebseb :) [18:56] bricky: did you get any problems while installing? i installed it from command line. [18:56] Can anyone help me with a problem Im having with my vid card? [18:56] bricky: not on your PC what? [18:56] sebseb: my system auto boots into Gnome [18:56] or.. well.. kde now. [18:57] anirvana: interesting I've never had that problem. Is the package still installed in synaptic, or do you have to literally reinstall with synaptic every time you reboot? [18:57] Ever since I upgrade to Lucid, I regularly try to click on a titlebar and end up selecting a totally different window. What is going on? This has been on three seperate computers and the theme doesn't seem to be relevant. [18:57] bricky: one will be default, but whichever log in screen you go for, you can boot in to the other from it [18:57] sebsebseb: KDE is puking on my pc for reason too bad I used to love kde so much ;( [18:57] Typh: the buttons you mean on the left or? [18:57] NullName : It's there installed in synaptic, but I don't have the wired internet now to do something! :( [18:57] no, the title bar [18:57] bricky: well there are much more lite waight ones, such as Lubuntu/LXDE and Xubuntu/XFCE [18:58] !lubuntu | bricky [18:58] bricky: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [18:58] sebsebseb: yeah but it auto boots into KDE I asked it to do GNU not KNU is that odd or what, now I removed KDE who knows what it will boot into, maybe crash [18:58] I dont get the login screen at first [18:58] Kyle__, are you running server-edition ? [18:58] it crawls to start up skype on kde, and the compiz effects dont work [18:58] anyways thanks for the help my friend [18:59] bricky: oh [18:59] bricky: a boot up issue? [18:59] install gdm to get a login screen with desktop selection menu [18:59] denni1: or KDM or LXDM or slim :D [18:59] sebsebseb: no its fine but I dont know we will see [18:59] "AT"-Tool - how to execute ffplay? it does nothing instead of notify-send [18:59] bricky: You may choose Gnome or KDE at login screen [18:59] I dont know why it booted up in KDE in the first place =[ [19:00] bricky: since you just isntalled kubuntu-desktop ? [19:00] Worms: Yeah but I uninstalled KDE lol, for now, going to re-install later [19:00] sebsebseb: yes [19:01] bricky: That is no problem. Just logoff and you get to choose the Gnome or KDE. It remembers what you last choose next time you booot up. [19:01] sebsebseb: I will install gnome netbook edition just to be safe it boots into gnome lol :) [19:01] hi [19:01] Worms: really, okay that works [19:01] when you stick in a video card does ubuntu download the drivers right away (mines an ATI radeon 9200 family PRO edition). Because I dont think its running at the moment. [19:01] Or just remove auto logon feature. You get logon screen every time [19:02] Worms: ahh cool :) [19:02] I plug in my SD. but it doesn't show up as a drive...only drives I get are my hard drive and the Cd/DVD drive [19:02] ookay === snuxoll is now known as Guest47387 [19:03] If I install nvidia driver beyond version 173, I fail to start my X after that [19:04] plug out the usb cable and plug it in again (while sd card is still in reader) [19:04] Cheery: the recommended in 173 yeah? [19:04] Is there anyone else who can help me with mobile broadband driver problem? :( [19:05] Cheery: go with the one that is recommended [19:05] Niccoli, you could try to make the pci card the default in the bios , but just check if it's listed by doing lspci in the terminal , and connect your monitor to it . [19:05] Worms: Thanks I used mythbuntu to set that up [19:05] the sd card plugs directly into my computer [19:05] sebsebseb: 173 is the old one. [19:05] sebsebseb: recommended one doesn't work [19:05] bricky: Good. Enjoy [19:05] Cheery: are you donig OpenGL 3D games for example or Compiz? [19:05] How can I write to a usb (which is mounted readonly on /cdrom) when booting as a live cd from the usb [19:05] via an internal usb cable, yes that would be harder to unplug :-) [19:06] sebsebseb: yes, hell no. + opencl over that [19:06] Cheery: uhmm? opencl? [19:06] lol dennil....sorry, i'm new to ubuntu and am completely lost! [19:06] dim3000, you want to write what? [19:06] Cheery: if you are not doing OpenGL games or Compiz, you don't really need a propritary Nivida driver installed [19:07] abhi_nav: to the USB which is acting as a Live CD [19:07] sebsebseb: are you serious? [19:07] Cheery: yes [19:07] next question: are you dumb? [19:07] BluesKaj, I entered it into the terminal and it apparently has my drivers, but its listed as a secondary card [19:07] Cheery: Ok heres a question for you, have you just started trolling? [19:08] johnpaul: did you try plugging it in for a second time? some only pick up the second signal not all usb equipment is perfect, [19:08] sebsebseb: realize this: people don't buy +100€ graphics hardware just to play solitaire. [19:08] how do I safely remove the nouveau video driver. I have done the following: apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. Its removed, but the X log says its still using it. [19:08] Excuse me, could I sat that I have the butterflies in the stomach after saying Yes to Upgrade. I did every precaution a desktop user would need to do, even backing up my 5-so GiB home folders total on to a 1TB (923GiB) HDD. [19:08] yeah, I've taken it out a couple of different times. The light next to the slot doesn't come on though...maybe something inside is unplugged? [19:08] sebsebseb: if I have bought an nvidia card with all fads around today, I'm going to use it. [19:08] sat XXX say [19:08] detrix: I think I blacklisted it on my system [19:09] dim3000, you want to write your own docs or system files/settings? [19:09] I accidentally broke the window manager just now - I managed to fix it by running compiz --replace, but gnome-panel isn't coming back. How can I restore it? I've tried killing it alreay. [19:09] abhi_nav: docs [19:09] sebsebseb: so don't say anything about not needing graphics accel. [19:09] Cheery: people in here are volunters, treat people with respect that are trying to help you :) [19:09] Slart: I have it in my blacklist as well but its still getting used [19:09] detrix: hmm.. what line did you add to your blacklist file? [19:09] Cheery: also you didn't even say originally what you were wanting to use the card for originalley [19:09] abhi_nav: like leave the live cd files alone and just create a new folder myfiles to store data [19:09] An_0ny_Moose: Click the area of Panel, it worked for me [19:09] How can I make ubuntu autostart wvdial on startup?I can't use mobile broadband anymore after reebooting :( [19:10] Slart: blacklist nouveau [19:10] dim3000, then you sould be able to save them as normally. no special thing needed. [19:10] just check your net settings [19:10] nvm, got it - gnome-panel --replace [19:10] sebsebseb: if someone has a working graphics card and he wants drivers for it. isn't it pretty dran obvious what he wants? [19:10] Cheery: anyway have fun with your card, I am not going to bother trying to help you anymore now. [19:10] detrix: that's odd.. I have that exact line as well.. in my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [19:10] how do i zap (delete) a huge directory that sudo rm -Rf folder/ takes too long to nuke [19:10] abhi_nav: can\t because the usb is mounted as a cdrom on /cdrom and is readonly, chmod doesnt work, the actual mounted filesystem is read-only [19:10] sebsebseb: though there's one thing you didn't knew. my need for opencl support. [19:10] Cheery: no since some people might be installing driver since they think they need to, not because they actsauly do [19:10] detrix: checked the spelling? [19:10] johnpaul: also your card may be sdhc and you need a newer reader, they come free with a brand name card sometimes. otherwise a newer linux edition may be needed to drive the usb reader. [19:10] dim3000, you can use your live usb as our regular usb drive to save data. [19:11] sebsebseb: because of that 173 version drivers aren't enough. [19:11] sebsebseb: YET one thing. You weren't helpful from the beginning. just line noise. [19:11] has the usb reader ever worked in linux? [19:11] abhi_nav: nope, doesnt show up anymore, only in fdisk [19:11] alright dennil, i'll check it out. The card is 4 years old [19:11] Slart: its spelled nouveau ... right?? [19:11] sebsebseb: just facts first. Don't take it too hard. [19:11] !attitude | Cheery [19:11] Cheery: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[19:25] detrix: nope.. ubuntu uses a lot of autodetection for xorg.conf settings.. usually it gets things right [19:26] black screen when I enter it [19:26] i don't want to start processes like apache and mysqld on boot up [19:26] so how do i stop that? [19:26] ztf, winecfg [19:26] detrix: you can add all the old settings to your xorg.conf if you really want.. but it usually works without it [19:26] sebsebseb: when i installed lucid what came up was like a full screen thing that had stuff like system, internet, preferences and stuff like that on the left, and the apps in that category on the right.. it was horrible [19:26] trupheenix: Do you need apache and mysql? [19:26] Andrew_M: #grub is what you want (and I can help you there:) [19:26] JackStoner, I succesfully connected to yahoo. you dont type example@yahoo.com just type 'example' and then password. try it [19:26] dopple: applications places system yes :) [19:27] sebsebseb: yeah that thing.. i hated it.. no desktop like in karmic [19:27] askhader: no i don't need them. i want to start them manually when i require them. [19:27] dopple: if you don't like the default look of Gnome you can customize, plus there are loads of alternatives [19:27] Slart: when I install the nVidia drivers, all I get for resolutions is 640x480 or 320x240 [19:27] dopple: uhmm 9.10 is like 10.04 as well [19:27] detrix: when it comes to thsi [19:27] no [19:27] I installed ubuntu on my desktop and whenever i try to boot from it my monitor stops working after the completing ubuntu installation screen (ive tried with two different monitors) it also works on my laptop.... ubuntu that is [19:27] abhi_nav, i tried with another account and it worked i think this account has an issue...wait i try something, thanks btw :) [19:27] dopple: both have those menus, and a desktop [19:27] i just installed karmic and that thing doesnt come up... all those things are under the ubuntu logo in the top left screen [19:27] how can i stop SSD from erasing everything i install after cold boot? [19:27] dopple: which thing? [19:28] detrix: check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see why it thinks it can't use higher resolutions.. pastebin the entire file if you want and let us have a look at it as well [19:28] sigh [19:28] dopple: be more specific, I am not following [19:28] dopple: also you can customize 10.04 [19:28] dopple: to look like 9.10 [19:28] akkan84: SSD? why would a solid state disk do that? [19:28] JackStoner, yes It seems like problem with specific account and not with empathy. [19:28] ok. one moment please [19:28] Can i change the login sound in 10.04 === Andrew_M is now known as Anderw__M [19:28] akkan84: I suggest that you do a standard install, rather than using unetbootin / startup disk creator. [19:29] How to change the login sound in 10.04???? [19:29] askhader: ? [19:29] ok.. when i installed lucid... when i booted up, what i saw on the screen was more or less like a launcher for apps... when i installed karmic.. thats all accessible by clicking the ubuntu logo in the top left corner, not taking up the whole screen [19:30] akkan84: You can add what is called "persistence" to your current setup, but it is IMHO still sub stadard comparted to a real install. [19:30] How to install wacom bamboo touch & pen in 10.04?? (: [19:30] Blueskaj, I typed in my make (ati) and model 9200 in the package manager, no luck [19:30] akkan84: I would have to concur with Jordan_U's assessment there. It shouldn't "erase" anything if you've actually installed to the SSD. I've installed to a RAID0 (only sane config for RAID0...) setup with two SSD's recently for my server and it works fine. [19:30] guys i wanna to know if i can install scapy2 on ubuntu 10.04 ??? [19:30] trupheenix: Is there a link to mysql.server in /etc/rc2.d ? [19:30] How to install wacom bamboo pen & touch in 10.04??

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [19:30] although karmic is still being laggy as hell with screen updates so i might just be scrapping the whole ubuntu idea [19:31] askhader: there was a utility right? u could choose what stuff rc2 started? [19:31] ztf, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvYIugyNc2o [19:31] dopple: Might I suggest turning off Compiz? [19:31] trupheenix: I wouldn't know, I don't use graphical interfaces. [19:31] svartalf: sure you can suggest that... what is it? :) === milos is now known as mikisid [19:32] j [19:32] svartalf: suggest anything you like... you just might have to explain what it is ;-) [19:32] askhader: no no a command line utlility i can't seem to get the name [19:32] trupheenix: Nor do I use commapnd line utilities [19:32] trupheenix: I'm asking if there is a symolbic link to mysql in your /etc/rc2.d [19:32] dopple: It's the compositing manager (meaning special effects...eyecandy) for Ubuntu. It uses OpenGL aggressively and if you've got less than a mid-end card or higher, it's going to possibly feel laggy. [19:33] f [19:33] dopple: Try going to System->Preferences->Appearance in your menus on the desktop, it will bring up a pop-up with tabs. [19:34] askhader: yes there is [19:34] askhader: but this is not the right way to remove it [19:34] trupheenix: This is why it is being started up at bot. [19:34] svartalf: system? [19:34] trupheenix: By what convention? [19:34] dopple: If you click on the "Visual Effects" tab, it'll move to it. [19:34] dopple: I thought you were after initial grub2 screen for removing memtest and bringing windows to top? have you solved it? [19:34] is there a good app that lets you use a pc controller for emulators and such [19:34] dopple: Yeah, the system menu, sub menu preferences, item Appearance. [19:35] svartalf: got ya...

From what i read it require opengl 2.0 but i have 1.3 installed how can i upgrade [19:35] trupheenix: What? [19:35] worms: no i havent solved that.... but if i cant get this to stop being so laggy im just gonna remove it :( [19:35] Once you've got the Visual Effects tab selected, click "None" to turn it off. If it's already in "None", don't know what to tell you unless I've got more info for you. [19:35] er, from...

[19:38] this thing is super laggy [19:38] What 'thing' ? [19:38] Niccoli: your video card is supported by the radeon driver that is included with ubuntu [19:38] theres a buncha zombies in there [19:38] askhader, linux [19:38] Niccoli: the only reason it wouldn't work is if you switched from an nvidia or newer ATI card (so you'll need to remove those drivers) [19:38] blown [19:38] detrix: I have some errands to run so I can't help you any further.. but check that log file.. it should tell you what it thinks of your monitor, frequencies and such.. then it should list all the graphics modes it wants to use and probably say something like "this frequency is too low" or something like that [19:39] askhader: update-rc.d that's what i was looking for [19:39] askhader: it removes all links [19:39] every system ive ever run linux on ran WAY faster than in windows... but for some reason... this one is running much slower [19:39] crdlb, how can I tell if its my video card thats running my graphics or if its my onboard (I switched from an onboard) [19:39] someone plays world of warfract here ? >< sorry i'm not on the best place for this question but nobody is on " #wow " :p [19:39] dopple: Then you're doing it wrong [19:39] Krow_: ##wine [19:39] k [19:39] dopple: What graphics card?

Im looking to buying two all-in-one printing devices. Do you know what manufacturer officially supports linux in opensource way(not binary blobs)? [19:52] abhi_nav, well...both empathy and pidgin [19:53] Niccoli: it varies by computer, but you should be able to hit a key when booting (before ubuntu starts) and enter the BIOS configuration [19:53] JackStoner, then you wll get more appropriate help in theyre respective channelr or wiki. I dont know much in it [19:53] crdlb, I know how to get into BIOS, but what would the option look like for disabling my onboard? [19:53] dopple: Ok, that means that you aren't using Kernel Mode Setting for some reason (it may have been blacklisted for cards similar to yours). Enabling KMS may get you better performance.

I think you may have to contact yahoo in some form to see about getting the account unlocked [19:58] u know other the same pidgin for ubuntu? [19:58] vivimado: Did you go in the Preferences menu and check the option to make sound when someone pings you or says your name in conversation?

[19:58] SlidingHorn, strange thing is i've been trying to log in with the same password which works on yahoo mail [19:59] Gump, an SD card connected to what? A card reader? [19:59] gwar: built in card reader [19:59] just me i know my password [19:59] Gump: Yes, you can even to a standard Ubuntu install if it's large enough (I've done it). [19:59] Are there any PDF readers that are both Windows/Ubuntu friendly? [19:59] Gump, It should be able to. Just remember to set the reader to boot first [20:00] Pen, Adobe Reader? [20:00] SlidingHorn: I dont understand.. I need a printer that has official page for linux and provides .ppd CUPS driver without any own tools or scripts... [20:00] Besides that hunk of crap [20:00] lol [20:00] awesome. so how do i go about doing it? format the disk, [20:00] then what [20:00] I can't login gmail in firefox,there's no problem if i use chrome [20:00] Gump, unetbootin [20:00] So opensource printing under linux is nonexistant? [20:00] Or, use the Ubuntu's own software [20:00] alright thanks [20:01] Jordan_U, im not quite sure this is a i8xx chip tho.... output of lspci for VGA is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller [8086:8108] (rev 07) [20:01] i'm attempting to partition my disk and install windows to the same HD as my ubuntu install. any warnings you guys might have? [20:02] Gump, windows is going to overwrite your boot loader so make sure you have an alternate way to boot back into ubuntu and repair the bootloader [20:02] Gump, 1st install windows and then ubuntu [20:02] err.. overwrite your MBR i should say [20:02] dopple: Oh, poulsbo... [20:02] dopple: that's what i need a livecd for [20:02] I just installed Windows 7 after my Ubunto installation and now I can't see my CDROM drive listed in the BIOS as a boot option nor can I see it as a mounted drive in Ubuntu [20:02] hi. i have a strage problem: my computer sometimes doesn't start up. is anybody willing to help me? [20:02] Gump, why not use the windows installer? [20:02] or are you past that phase and want a commited dual boot? [20:03] dopple: Poulsbo has notoriously bad linux support. [20:03] gwar, i will. first i'm going to partition my disk using a gparted livecd, then im going to install windows to that partition, then im going to use a livecd to fix my bootloader [20:03] abhi_nav, not necessary to install windows first, as long as he has a livecd that he can use to boot back in and re-do the MBR with grub [20:03] * JackStoner goes to sleep [20:03] Jordan_U, i was afraid you were gonna say that :-/ [20:03] dopple, yah I knoow that solution. but I am not clear if he is noob or not. so I ddnt suggest that. [20:04] Theres no 10.4 Ubuntu torrents. :S [20:04] hoverbear, sure there are [20:04] Hi, is there any way to just download the upgrade files for later when using do-release-upgrade?

I downloaded from it only [20:04] Check your PMs Gump :0 [20:05] jstew: You can use --sandbox which does that, along with some more interesting awesomeness :) [20:05] abhi_nav: They're not on the site. :S http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt === dan_ is now known as Stoqtech [20:05] Jordan_U: Ah, thank you, man. [20:05] hey guys, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and I have installed a second network card and configured it with a static ip addy. eth0 is set as an internal ip for my local stuff, eth1 is set with static. From the box itself, I can ping the internal ip and the external ip. From a windows machine, I can ping the internal ip, but not the external ip that is on the second network card. Can someone point me in the right direction to sol [20:05] question: I'm doing a fresh install of lucid (32 bit) on another box and it seems to be hanging around the 94% mark. It's done this twice now, but the disc checks out OK, and the hardware seems to be fine. [20:05] I don't see my CDROM listed as a drive in the /etc/fstab file. I can't access my CDROM. Does anyone have any ideas as to why? [20:05] hoverbear, I ask here at my time and someone good man give me the direct link. wait let me see if i can found it for you [20:05] hoverbear: dont know the exact url for the iso you want, but heres the one i used to get 10.04 netbook version: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso.torrent [20:05] Thank you sir [20:06] so i would assume if you just change that url around for the correct iso you want.. maybe change netbook to desktop, it should work for you [20:06] just installed 10.04, and trying to access shares from a windows machine straight out of the box... using Places, Network...

I've been able to access windows share from other linux machines with no problems. [20:06] question: is there a way I can build a kernel WITHOUT upstart? [20:06] Any reason why automake1.8 isn't in lucid repositories? Automake from 1.4 to 1.10 are available, except it [20:07] Jordan_U, any suggestions for this video card? :-) i really dont wanna scrap the ubuntu idea [20:07] I left the install to run for about an hour and 15 minutes, came back to find it at 94%, and left it alone. An hour later, it was still stuck there. [20:07] hi guys... how do i make a ubuntu install in a flash drive so that my changes can be saved [20:07] dopple: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150459 [20:07] ?? [20:07] someone wanna take a stab at this for me? [20:07] hey guys, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and I have installed a second network card and configured it with a static ip addy. eth0 is set as an internal ip for my local stuff, eth1 is set with static. From the box itself, I can ping the internal ip and the external ip. From a windows machine, I can ping the internal ip, but not the external ip that is on the second network card. Can someone point me in the right direction to sol [20:07] jstew: You're welcome. Don't be surprised when it actually starts upgrading things, all modifications to system files after starting do-release-upgrade --sandbox, untill you reboot, are temporary. [20:08] Sansui350A, have you ever been successful in changing the video card in a netbook? hell it was hard enough installing operating systems without a cdrom drive! :P [20:08] heeeellllllp!! i'm screwed!!! i just installed 10.04 using the alt installer on my friends computer, and wiped out her xp, and now buntu wont boot!!! what do i do? the screen is saying no signal. [20:08] hoverbear, I found it. one this page you get torrent links: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [20:08] dopple: oh, yeah... netbook is no-go for video-card swap... [20:08] Sansui350A, hehehe yeah i know ;-) [20:09] mikubuntu: Try holding shift during boot and see if you can get into "recovery mode" [20:09] Jordan_U: ok, gimme a sec [20:09] Sansui350A, and operating system installations on a netbook require about a fifth of vodka as a prerequisite :) [20:09] Hey folks I need somehelp networking...

[20:13] ubuntu based netbook os [20:13] daeda1us: your problem has something to do with DNS, if you try to access the share via the IP address of the pc it should work....

[20:21] VanessaE if it's a harddrive try listening to your HD... listen for clicks and tapping. when you install particuarlly when it locks up... it can be tedious but it's old fashion tall tell sign that something is wrong hardware side... Otherwise I recommend redownloading your distro re burn to a disk and reinstall. [20:21] Tazer, which, incidentally, is actually a good thing when you are not actually trying to change it [20:22] Tazer, look on the CMOS Setup bits (y'know the menu when you press DEL or F2 or w/e on boot?) [20:22] Yeah [20:22] it should be listed somewhere in there if the BIOS supports it [20:22] My microphone doesn't work, and when I connect to teamspeak 3, whatever I listen (music, etc.) it sounds as my microphone (sorry 4 my english, sucks) [20:22] Tazer, did you try formatting it by clicking on the partition then choosing format ...I have to ask [20:22] and if it's enabled, it needs to be turned off [20:22] alkemann I got the exact same setup as you for the most part, before installing Wubi, i had to partions my Core for Win7 + my 200 gig seperated partion. One thing to note with wubi is you sacrafice some disc performace.

[20:23] moes: "sudo update-grub" should detect your other distro automagically. [20:23] alkemann Now the partion used for wubi probbaly is very minimal and takes up no more space than it needs... So I can't see that being issue, so problem possibly lies in a ram issue or an overall lack of space... I'd make sure that your wubi install is on your bigger partion.

[20:35] joris_ if possible consider professional help then [20:35] Valen go to your "hardware" monitor and look for any microphone drivers that is a godo way to start trouble shooting your issue.

[20:37] I'm thinking about re-insatalling ubuntu xD [20:37] bigleon, I'm not absolutely sure that wubi is causing your "wifi nightmare", but ubuntu wifi seems very good these days on it's own. you can make an ext 4 partition on some free space on your HDD and not affect your w7 or data partions , whatsoever. it's much more advantageous and stable for all OSs as well. [20:37] yeah sure.. [20:38] abhi_nav: where can I find professional help? [20:38] Blueskaj how would i go about doing that? [20:38] ManDay, right click on bar add new Indicator applet [20:38] I'm going to go ahead and call the "try harder" prompt aptitude vudoo [20:38] mikubuntu: If you get to a GUI then install the proprietary drivers with System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. If you can only get to a terminal, install them with "jockey-text" instead. [20:38] joris_ you can contact your local computer expert or get professioal help from canonical for ubuntu etc [20:38] valen`: did you post or look on the forums? [20:38] i was wondering if anyone can help with virtualbox issues [20:39] !partitioning | bigleon [20:39] bigleon: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [20:39] no i hacen't sabuntu [20:39] haven't* [20:39] how to speed up internet connection ? [20:39] mikubuntu: If you think that the computer has frozen, try if at all possible not to just "pull the plug". First press the power button and wait a few more minutes, then if that doesn't work use sysrq magic. [20:39] !sysrq | mikubuntu [20:39] mikubuntu: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [20:39] dragontech: if they are really virtualbox issues #vbox is better suited [20:40] valen`: then i would try that [20:40] niccoli: 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' then run: lsmod | pastebinit - [20:40] i was wondering if anyone else can has had problems with virtualbox refuseing to load properly [20:40] niccoli: that final - is important [20:40] x0x, e.g. if you are accessing web site while donwloading sometihng then it slows down speed . do one thing at a time etc [20:40] ok thanks [20:40] i'm guessing this SAMBA guide is a bit outdated... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 :P [20:40] abhi_nav: I don't know who is my local computer expert. [20:41] blueskaj just to confirm the partion edits will be made via installing from the live cd? [20:41] !samba | daeda1us [20:41] daeda1us: 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. [20:41] aaah thank you [20:41] if only i knew there was a bot command for that :P [20:41] joris_, hmm then find it. talk to canonical people if they can help. [20:41] joris_, you live where? [20:41] mikubuntu: And you never get past the Ubuntu logo with dots at the bottom, then edit the "recovery mode" option to add the "nomodeset" option, rather than normal entry. [20:42] Balgan, the indicator applet (network, xchat, battery etc) is already there [20:42] VanessaE did you manage to resolve your harddrive issue? [20:42] abhi_nav: Belgium, Zottegem [20:42] the hard drive is fine, bigleon [20:42] as is the rest of the hardware [20:42] joris_ hmm. [20:42] I am having wireless network issues router shows it as connected but ubuntu keeps telling me its not connected [20:42] VanessaE So are you getting fresh copy of the software? or did it just start working? [20:43] joris_: http://www.canonical.com/consumer-services/support [20:43] at the moment, getting ready to try installing Karmic instead. [20:43] ManDay, u tried removing it [20:43] and re-adding? [20:43] bigleon, I prefer to use gparted to edit partions but the live cd can do it for you automatically if youwish, just make sure it installs kubuntu to a partion in free space only . [20:43] Balgan, eh? [20:43] partition [20:43] crdlb, http://pastebin.com/wZxccVr7 [20:44] :P [20:45] Okay here is my one line C program that says hello world, and the various permissions (or programming..?) problems I experience. Sorry that I'm such a linux noob! http://pastie.org/1014104 [20:45] bigleon, my understand ind is that one can also use the partitioning features in w7 , altho I'm not familair with it myself. [20:45] abhi_nav: thanks! I'll try it! [20:45] Blueskaj I apt get Gparted ran it in sudo... and i can't seem to Edit my partion size [20:45] hi all, is mythtv hard to install on ubuntu? [20:45] joris_ :) [20:45] niccoli: ok, run: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/intel_igp [20:46] anyone know where my volume indicator applet went to and how to get it back? [20:46] niccoli: and put in that file (which should be empty): blacklist i915 [20:46] bigleon, you can't do do it from ubuntu [20:46] manday rightclick your bar look through your widgets should find a volume widget, drag that to bar and you should be good to go. [20:46] hello i installed a lot of wrong drivers kde xfce and nvidia when it was not the hardware. I'm on an xterm session now [20:46] Ohh Okay Blueskaj... [20:47] crdlb, my open arena should start now with this video card right? [20:47] Jordan_U: i did alt prt screen reisub and it rebooted, but to same blank screen and 'no signal input' [20:47] blueskaj also i got a 64 bit ssytem but i've seen suggestions that for better stability i should use a 32bit os... any opinion on that? [20:47] what should I install in my debian virtualbox-machine on my ubuntu-host, to allow copy and paste? the guest additions are installed. [20:47] bigleon, download gparted live cd and burn it , that's the best way IMO [20:47] can anyone help me install thc-hydra in ubuntu 9.10? [20:47] i have tried to put all my repos in sources.list to multiverse and universe to find the package sun-java6-jdk but it does not appear anywhere. does someone have an answer to this ? [20:47] bigleon, if it was just that easy - no volume there. does anyone recall the package name for volume indicator? im afraid i removed it by accident [20:47] mikubuntu: Reisub to reboot again, and hold shift to get to the grub menu. [20:47] sabuntu, I pasted my error and the line of code, if that gives any hints: http://pastie.org/1014104 [20:48] niccoli: after saving and rebooting, it should, but I can't promise that the performance will be good [20:48] helloooooooooooo there :D well any body knw how to make my bluetooth work in ubuntu :D [20:48] crdlb, ok, so I have to reboot first then? [20:48] bigleon, I've run both 64bit and 32 , theonly advantage to 64 bit is it can use more memory above 4G which 32 bit isn't supposed to be able to [20:48] mikubuntu: This time edit the "recovery mode" option (since you saw an Ubuntu logo I'm betting you edited the normal entry instead the first time) [20:48] Manday Well then I'd try searching like "Volume Manager" or "sound preferences " in your apt search. [20:49] blueskaj is there any disadvantages? [20:49] ill just reinstall the whole system bigleon - sounds easier [20:49] but thanks [20:49] niccoli: yes [20:49] Alright manday sorry i didn't have a better solution. [20:49] Jordan_U: no, i'm pretty sure i editied the recovery, i highlited the second line and pressed e [20:49] bigleon, thats ok - i planned on doing that anyway [20:49] thanks [20:49] bluetooth plz [20:50] bigleon, in some cases 64bit plugins for media in some browsers used to be aproblem a while ago, but I haven't seen many complaints about that lately [20:50] mikubuntu: Odd, you shouldn't have seen an Ubuntu logo then. [20:50] Now one issue i remeber back in day blueskaj is that dual booting wasn't an easy thing to do when your dual booting Win and Linux because of bootloader etc... [20:50] can anyone help me install thc-hydra in ubuntu 9.10? [20:50] It's easy to do with mint, but I digress [20:50] hey [20:50] Jordan_U: ok, back to grub menu [20:50] \join xchat [20:50] #ubuntu-es [20:51] hello_kitty: im going to compile and run it to see if its ur ubuntu box or the program [20:51] Jordan_U: second line is the recov mode line [20:51] bigleon, only if you install windows after you installed ubuntu , windows wipes out the grub bootloader during the install, so we always recommend to install windows first ,so you're ok. [20:52] sabuntu: I found the error [20:52] sabuntu: the -c compile flag is only if its multiple files [20:52] Jordan_U: enter 'e' again? [20:52] Blueskaj Ohhh good :D alright well I gotta find empty cd-r toss Ubuntu 10.4 on it, remove wubi, repartion extra partion... then install === omgjoz|HONDURAS is now known as UncleSam [20:52] mikubuntu: Yes. [20:52] can anyone help me install thc-hydra in ubuntu 9.10? http://freeworld.thc.org/thc-hydra/ [20:52] then start at stage one hoping ubuntu drivers will work right :D [20:53] hi all, is mythtv hard to install on ubuntu? [20:53] Jordan_U: the nomodeset is no longer visible after ro single [20:53] bigleon, right and good luck , you'll still have w7 access from ubuntu if you share the windows files . [20:53] mikubuntu: That's normal, changes you make in the grub menu are temporary. [20:54] Jordan_U: then how will my boot be persistant? [20:54] mikubuntu: Once booted, you'll install the proprietary nvidia drivers. [20:54] Will anyone help me install thc-hydra in ubuntu 9.10? http://freeworld.thc.org/thc-hydra/ === UncleSam is now known as omgjoz|HONDURAS [20:55] Jordan_U: disregard that question, i guess i need to know how and not why ... haha [20:55] Jordan_U: so do i put nomodeset back in? [20:55] bigleon, the ubuntu drivers- kernel source rarely fail these days , only on exotic out of the mainstream hardware could be a problem. [20:55] mikubuntu: Yes. [20:56] Jordan_U: fyi, the sixth line down starts with : echo 'loading linux 2.6.32-21-generic ...' doesn't say 'recovery mode' [20:57] Will anyone help me install thc-hydra in ubuntu 9.10? http://freeworld.thc.org/thc-hydra/ [20:57] mikubuntu: That's normal [20:57] Jordan_U: so control x again? [20:57] mikubuntu: Yes. [20:58] mikubuntu: If it doesn't work this time, then boot the alternate install CD and choose "recover a broken system". [20:58] I'm having a problem where my console sessions Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 only give me a blinking cursor at the top of the screen and no login prompt. When I create a new user on the exact same system it works fine. My question is what files in the home profile affect the tty sessions? Please help! [20:58] Jordan_U: i'm sposed to put nomodeset in before control x? [20:58] mikubuntu: Yes. [20:59] hello_kitty: i just looked irc and saw what you said and yay its fixed! i gcc helloworld.c -o hw then sudo ./hw and it worked [21:00] sabuntu: do you happen to know a good way to get shell scripts to produce an output? maybe to get them to write to file if they error? [21:00] Is there away I can save all of my settings and make an install disk so when Ubuntu is installed it is the same as I have it now? [21:01] Hey [21:01] can anyone help me with a webmin setup [21:01] got some troubles settings up secure smtp [21:01] !webmin | michael___ [21:01] michael___: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [21:01] hi [21:02] matthew123, many of your settings are in your home folder in hidden . folder files - if you back these up many of your settings can be saved. good luck. [21:02] hello_kitty: im not really good with any type of programing except for some c and perl, so no. [21:02] so you guys recommend ebox instead of webmin ? [21:03] michael___, i'm not really a fan of ebox actually [21:03] Jordan_U: i put the disk in and started to reisub, when a recovery menu came up [21:03] has anyone here installed thc-hydra before? [21:03] mikubuntu: Greate, one of the options should be to start a root shell. [21:03] ZykoticK9, thank you [21:03] ZykoticK9: I use webmin to keep it simple [21:03] whlspacedude: just use back track. they have a gtk and console version on it [21:04] Jordan_U: drop to root shell prompt with networking ?

[21:04] Jordan_U: ok, have root shell prompt [21:04] sabuntu: is there a way to use the bt4 repo in ubuntu 9.10 64bit? [21:04] ZykoticK9: got pop3secure working and can receive mails, but smtp configuration fails me [21:04] mikubuntu: Run "jockey-text" [21:04] !backtrack [21:04] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[21:23] I'm trying to find information about how resolv.conf has changed with regard to resolvconf; I was under the impression that /etc/networkin/interfaces was the 'canonical' configuration for both, but apparently not in 10.04 [21:23] I have a question about HP wireless printers [21:23] Interesting...Thanks to Google, I discovered that log-structured file systems (journaling file systems) are actually superior to TRIM for SSDs and are actually designed for flash-based media [21:23] Jordan_U: ok, back to recovery mode ... arrrrrggghhhhhh [21:24] IdleOne: just try undermine community effort there. [21:24] you succeed. [21:24] mnaines: That's incorrect, log-structured filesystems do not remove the need for TRIM [21:24] Cheery: it isn't exactly offtopic but it is distracting from support. [21:24] Whenever I reboot, all nameservers are removed from my /etc/resolv.conf file, and DNS fails until I manually fix it. Any ideas? I'm using resolvconf [21:24] Cheery: The last person here to try to undermine the Ubuntu community would be me :) [21:24] does someone know a good web hosting provider for a small website? (like ftp access, html, css and small space?) [21:24] Jordan_U: so i should try to enter the recovery mode without editing? [21:25] mikubuntu: Yes. [21:25] Jordan_U: no signal input [21:26] After I installed Windows 7 as a second boot device next to my Ubuntu. After that I noticed that the CDROM device is stopped showing up. It's not listed in my /etc/fstab as a recognized drive and I don't even see it as an option to boot from CD at startup anymore. Anyone have any ideas? [21:26] Whenever I reboot, all nameservers are removed from my /etc/resolv.conf file, and DNS fails until I manually fix it. Any ideas? I'm using resolvconf, and have a valid configuration in /etc/network/interfaces [21:27] mikubuntu: I unfortunately need to leave in about 10 minutes. I think that your situation is recoverable, but since this isn't your machine (and therefore I'm gessing needs to be up and running soon), your best be may be to just install 9.10 instead. [21:27] Jordan_U, from what I read, current journaling file systems operate in a way that TRIM cannot and current TRIM firmware takes hundreds of milliseconds to process each TRIM command [21:27] Question: has anyone had success with the HP 6500 Wireless printer driver issue or information on a fix? [21:27] Jordan_U: and then upgrade? [21:28] mikubuntu: You can try it. If you upgrade *after* installing the nvidea drivers it may actually work. [21:29] Jordan_U: would it make a diff if i tried with the livecd? 1004? [21:29] Basically the difference between the two, and why JFS work on flash drives better, is JFS tries to keep everything arranged so that all sectors are either very full or very empty by erasing partially-used sectors as data is written to the drive, whereas TRIM cannot see that the sectors are erased beforehand [21:30] what program on ubuntu is like windows media player? [21:31] noulty: any of: vlc, mplayer, smplayer, gnome-mplayer, amarok, rhythmbox, banshee, kaffeine, xmms, totem, totem-xine [21:31] !media | noulty [21:31] noulty: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[21:35] mv, it would work better, but it should atleast still be possible to do it under 64 [21:35] Doesn't work better, but it's certainly easier to install.

[21:42] Idle0ne: same problem... just wanted to make sure its a smoother process under 32bit i guess, didnt realize 64bit had issues with flash [21:42] sylvar: you can resize your partitions and remove the other partitions from the liveUSB [21:42] mv: rm -r /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [21:42] mv: sudo rm -r /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [21:43] then run the apt-get command [21:43] Hi there - what's the quickest and most convenient way to mount / unmount image files ala Daemontools?

[21:45] thanks h00k, and could I also apt-get whatever utility the USB stick uses to manage partitions and just run it without needing a USB stick? [21:45] IdleOne: it's a computing API that lets you upload programs to graphics card. If you didn't knew that, I guess I better try other sources then. [21:45] like gimp and gimpshop?

[22:21] anyone have any ideas? [22:22] pdfshuffler does not work i click save in the export window and noting happens [22:22] RyanP: this one is a bit older hardware and the networkcard is not onboard so maybe it is a hardwareproblem [22:22] paddy_ you might have chosen a bad file name [22:22] paddy_, are you on ubuntu?

[22:22] it is free software it happens [22:23] john__: its personal preference [22:23] carew: Yeah, that's all I can think of.. with non-onboard network cards, isn't there an extra cable to the motherboard required? [22:23] try others see what you think [22:23] logicaldash what is the command? [22:23] probably just "pdfshuffler" or maybe "pdf-shuffler" [22:23] suggest a good one that burns fast [22:24] RyanP: normaly it is but this networkcard hasn't the connector on it (its an intel card) that only supports magic pakkets [22:24] Can someone point me to a solution to install the proper flash player for 64-bit ubuntu 10.04 lucid/ [22:24] carew: Got me then, sorry.

I'm puzzled actually .. [22:30] paddy_, how [22:31] sudo apt-get pdfshuffler purge [22:31] carew, its a standard 3 pin. sounds like your card has no connector but does support the wol event, which means it is communicating strictly over pci. if you mb is not supporting that connection, you can either get a mb that does, or a network card with the jwol connector to the mb [22:31] unop: hmm, you're right; somehow the shell has played a trick on me where it did something unexpected; it happens [22:31] good evening everyone [22:31] VCoolio, compare echo * with echo ./* [22:32] niccoli: thanks, will try it [22:32] can anyone help me with this users stuff?

[22:35] unop yeah thats the problem [22:36] unop and making www-data owner also of the www folder? [22:36] Poizon, which www folder? [22:36] unop the one that is expected to work with userdir [22:37] Poizon, you might like to try ACLs instead of regular unix permissions here then.

[22:37] celeritas: the mb has it, i can swap the card with a 3com one that has the connector [22:37] now only the cable :p [22:37] Poizon, right, so give read access via ACLs to www-data on /home/user and /home/user/{public_html,cgi-bin} [22:38] unop, there's any guide for that in ubuntu wiki ? [22:38] I'm getting a permission denied on a lock file, after making everything in /var/www/ owned by www-data, the command receiving the error is: sudo -u www-data sh /var/www/fitumi/ && svn update Perhaps my ownership is fine by the actual read/write is wrong....? [22:39] Poizon, probably not, but any guide on ACLs for linux will apply to ubuntu alright. [22:39] unop thanks =) [22:39] Is there something I can turn on/enable for gnome-terminal that will let me click on file paths and open them? [22:39] hello_kitty, /var/www/fitumi/ is a directory??

[22:40] hello_kitty, you can't execute a directory :) [22:40] unop: that is a good point :/ [22:40] i have a prob.. my ubuntu load screen is all distorted when i reboot it or power it down.. it happened after i tried to change the resolution in startup manager.. i have since changed it back to the default settings but the ubuntu loading screen is still distorted. what could be the problem and resolution? [22:40] noulty: compiz for some nice ones [22:40] tl;dr kernel panic [22:40] thank you [22:40] hello_kitty, maybe you wanted sh -c 'cd /var/www/fitumi/ && svn update' [22:40] noulty: if you use gnome then compiz is the best [22:40] are there any video players out there that let you tag and rate videos? [22:41] noulty: no prob [22:41] karma_police: Change the resolution back to 640x480 [22:41] i did that.. it is still distroted [22:41] What about the color depth? [22:41] same.. 8 bits [22:42] unop: okay, it liked that much better... however how it asks me what the password is for www-data. Do you know how I could figure that out? [22:42] i have nvidia restricted drivers tho.. problem only started when i messed around with startup manager settings [22:42] I'd say change them to other values, exit, then go back in and change them again to 640x480 and 8-bits. [22:42] will try that. [22:43] unop: nvm! its my apache password [22:43] hello_kitty, errm, actually, run this sudo command as root and you won't be asked for one [22:43] unop: i'm not root...?! [22:43] gotta reboot.. brb [22:44] hello_kitty, you shouldn't really enable a password for www-data ... [22:44] unop: i thought sudo means root?

[23:22] rww: heh, actually I did try this first, but then the keyserver was down [23:22] mcsmurf: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa/+packages?start=50&batch=50 all lucid [23:22] mcsmurf: oh, okay [23:22] el canal para chat de ubuntu en espa;ol [23:22] _ [23:22] !es | frank82vt [23:22] frank82vt: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[23:23] what command forces ubuntu to update the printers? I am plugging in the USB printer and I'm executing "watch -n 1 -d lsusb" and the device is showing in there but not in ubuntu printers. [23:23] laurence_, sill there or got disconnected. [23:23] plazia, tried manually adding it? [23:23] heh http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/ [23:24] sorry, nevermind, wrong channel [23:24] willwork4foo, no haven't yet but I'll give it a go. [23:24] hi, ubuntu! [23:25] Which would be the better option for downloading a program (such as Skype, Adobe Flash, etc.): downloading the supplied .deb off of the website, or getting it from the apt repos.? I take it using apt is better because it allows easier updating? that's my presumption anyway [23:25] willwork4foo, all the add options are grayed out. [23:25] suppose i want to make a linux distro that takes ubuntu and adds a program or two on the disc. How would I do that?

[23:26] np - we all have oddnesses like that [23:26] I can't find documentation [23:27] IncrStorm, I've got two thoughts... 1: why do we need ANOTHER FTP server, and 2: that's a silly name [23:27] what was wrong with vsftpd or proftpd [23:28] LOL, I'm running Xubuntu, and believe me, I didn't steer myself there. [23:28] haha [23:28] ok [23:28] fair enough! [23:28] It was begging for it when I tried to do ftpd [23:29] btw - the more I use the Ubuntu Netbook Remix's desktop interface, the more I think it's a perfect layout for a system this size. It's kinda smartphone-style thinking, but with full OS capabilities and benefits. I am pleased! :) [23:29] like that, was it IncrStorm [23:29] shocking [23:29] in windows i can restore the system [23:30] how can i do the same in linux_ [23:30] I don't know, should it be shocking? [23:31] just fyi: I found the Kubuntu karmic updates I wanted, those are now in the Ubuntu Backports repository [23:31] i have the little kerneloops client sitting in my tray, while its nice having tux hang around and all, id like him to leave. i dont have the window that contains the tooltip so i would like to submit the diagnostic data manually somehow and then reinstall or repair the kernel [23:34] Can someone help me out? It seems that I can't get onto any websites. I am connected to IRC via the same machine, but I can't get any web open at all. === synical_ is now known as synical [23:34] i want to reconfigure xserver how to do so ?

[23:57] Can someone help me out, File Browser says I have 0 bytes of free memory, but I just deleted easily 5 gb. I rebooted to no avail, still says zero, any ideas? [23:58] purpzey: Did you delete it from the partition you installed on? [23:58] or /media/ or /mnt/something? [23:58] Wings: No I deleted directly from /home/me [23:58] purpzey, you could do "df -h" in a shell to see the disk usage of all disks, even the mounted ones [23:58] purpzey: what does 'df -h' say?
