[00:00] Hi. When I play music through Rhythmbox, it crackles and freezes. [00:00] HaPK: i know but i can't open the blank DVD [00:00] rm pulseaudio [00:00] it works now [00:00] SuperLag: you can make an LiveUSB, boot, install clamAV and scan.. google for liveUSB as i never make one.. [00:00] sec-r1z, does ubuntu recognizes the drive? check your disks utility [00:00] I used to know a command to check what video driver is running, what was it? [00:00] gotta love pulse... thats why i use OSS on my game-box for full surround sound [00:01] Hi people! Somehow I've lost my upper panel icon, I believed that it was the absence of a notification area... but even when I add one, the icon are still missing. What could the problem be? [00:01] bastid_raZor, copy and paste. better restart and see if it worked, very thanks [00:01] !usb | SuperLag [00:01] SuperLag: 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 [00:01] !panels | doxdrum [00:01] doxdrum: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:01] rafaelsoaresbr: sudo mount -a will do the same as restarting.. [00:01] HaPK: yes but it can't read blank DVDs [00:01] is there a log of the updates that got installed somewhere from update-manager? [00:02] SuperLag: yes you can do a virus scan on a Windows partition [00:02] SuperLag: make it persistent so all things you installed will remains.. [00:02] How do I start samba as a service.. I'm getting tired of manually starting it.. and it's inconvenient [00:02] sec-r1z, strange... I can't help you there, sorry... [00:02] SuperLag: however if you got a virus, you should really clean install the OS, to make sure the virus is gone, and that nothing malicious is happening with your computer [00:02] HaPK: never mind [00:02] synapse, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1004326.html [00:03] bastid_raZor, be back in few minutes, thanks [00:03] doxdrum: happened to me before, but when i check all the things, i figure out that there's no space left .. lol :P [00:03] can someone help me with mounting a cd with exec permissions? I tried sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it didn't work... [00:03] How do I find what video driver is in use right now? [00:03] HaPK, why didn't it work (what was the error?) [00:04] Hi, both ubuntu server iso files (amd64, i386) don't work on my computer's CPU (i686 [00:04] !details [00:04] 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 ..." [00:04] Could anyone link me to a Ubuntu Server 10.04 i686 ISO? [00:04] SlidingHorn: uhmm SuperLag doesn't need to make a USB, they can install anti virus to the Live CD, and even delete files from the WIndows partition like that [00:04] Thx ubottu!!! You rule! [00:04] SlidingHorn, it said it coudn't find /dev/sr1 en /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab [00:04] sebsebseb, oh, my bad...read the msg wrong [00:05] !thanks | doxdrum [00:05] doxdrum: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [00:05] sebsebseb: but those AV will be wiped when he shutdown.. [00:05] Hello? [00:05] hotfloppy: yes [00:05] hotfloppy: however whatever changed on the hard disk, whilst using the Live CD, will still be changed [00:05] Can someone please tell me how i get my dvd working again? [00:05] bastid_raZor, worked, thanks [00:05] hi guys im having trouble installing the new wow patch [00:06] amokpaule: libdvdcss2/3 [00:06] hi, quadrapassel no longer works after the last update [00:06] rafaelsoaresbr: glad to help. [00:06] !medibuntu | amokpaule [00:06] amokpaule: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:06] anyone recommend a screen capture app that does video and images? I would prefer that videos were flash or at least web friendly [00:06] sebsebseb: that's what I've done... but I'm trying to mount the XP partition with ntfs-3g, and it's not working [00:06] is it only happening with me; [00:06] ? [00:06] sebsebseb: i think SuperLag want to use his LiveCD as a AV tools.. not just once.. [00:06] its not in the fstab and i cant mount it [00:06] SuperLag: Windows needs to be shut down properly [00:06] hey, is there a fix for the "outline around panel icons" bug? ive seen it since i first got ubuntu 5 years ago and i am seeing it on this release too......... what the quick and easy for this? [00:06] SuperLag: otherwise yes you can't just mount the partition, however there is a way to force mont, but I don't know the details [00:07] SuperLag: what virus is on there? what happended to the install? you should probably just clean install the OS really [00:07] SuperLag: as I already put [00:07] sebsebseb: How can you be booted up into the LiveCD if Windows isn't shut down? [00:07] I don't know what virus is on there [00:07] thanks for the help, but someone should report a bug about the update-manager blowing away your settings in pulseaduio [00:07] Hi, I just installed an nVidia geforce 6200 and my performance is extremely bad in 3D. Worse than the Geforce MX420 I replaced. Proprietary drivers are enabled. Can anyone give me ideas on what to try? [00:07] I'm not gonna [00:07] SuperLag: boot the Live CD, and you should be able to access the WIndows partition from it no problem, as long as Windows was shut down [00:07] SuperLag: properly [00:08] SlidingHorn, it said it coudn't find /dev/sr1 en /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab [00:08] sebsebseb: is hibernating considered not properly shutdown also ? because i can mount it even its on hibernate mode.. [00:08] SuperLag: What do you want Windows for anyway? Maybe you don't need it at all, or a virtual machine of Windows inside Ubuntu, will be good enough. [00:08] that question is useless [00:08] is anybody else having trouble with the new wow patch????? [00:08] HaPK, I don't know how to fix the problem. I asked because your original question didn't have any necessary details to troubleshoot it [00:09] sebsebseb: it's a friend's machine, and they asked me to help them [00:09] and the other tools I've tried have not worked [00:09] SlidingHorn: thats also really the most secure way to do Windows, when its Internet connected, that way if you get a virus, just delete the vm do a new one, or use a clean copy easilly, like a normal file. [00:09] SuperLag: ^ [00:10] !undelete [00:10] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:10] scorp_, did you check to see if the servers are back up? [00:10] i cant to the update at all [00:10] it downloaded but wont install due to an error [00:10] does anyone know how to get kubuntu to use static IP address? [00:10] sebsebseb: you're repeating yourself. *I* know that already. I'm trying to help a friend, and running into a wall. Telling him, who isn't savvy enough to set up or run VMs, to run them... isn't an option. [00:11] The dvd rom was there working after a reboot its gone and when i try to mount it it says can't find /dev/sr0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [00:11] sebsebseb: he's a Windows user. Period. [00:11] lol [00:11] ugh. Might just have been that compiz was enabled. [00:11] or had enabled itself somehow rather [00:11] Is there still graphics corruption on an ATI Radeon x1270 in Ubuntu 10.04? [00:11] i used convertx2dvd to burn my movies in windows how can i do it in ubuntu [00:11] anyone know a fix for the stupid red outlines on the gnome panel? [00:11] jkalex05: devede [00:11] SuperLag: people don't tend to want to clean install their OS's, but thats what should be done really, once its infected. You can get hold of the data on the Live CD and then :) or maybe something useful is on the Ultimate Boot CD for example. well there are loads of these Live CD tool CD's out there. [00:12] thank you bastid_razor [00:12] scorp_, are you running Launcher.exe or Wow.exe? [00:12] SuperLag: anyway its Windows, so maybe you should ask ##windows for help really, find out what they will suggest [00:13] i tried both but wen i run wow.exe it just tells me that i need to update [00:13] scorp_, what version of wine are you using? [00:13] SuperLag: why cant you mount the windows partition ? is there any error ? [00:13] good question let me find out [00:13] jkalex05, do you want to rip dvds? [00:14] hi all [00:14] no i want to burn em [00:14] version 1.1.42 [00:14] hotfloppy: it says the partition doesn't exist... but fdisk -l /dev/sda shows it [00:14] hotfloppy: and I can boot to it [00:14] how can i re-run a configuration dialog that appeared on apt-get install? [00:14] scorp_, you may want to update -- we're up to 1.2 rc4 by now.\ [00:14] jkalex05, have you tried k3b? [00:14] how do i update and will that effect my installed programs on wine [00:14] SuperLag: have you try, for example, /dev/sda1 ? [00:14] they said to try devede [00:15] Hi. When I play music through Rhythmbox, it crackles and freezes. Any advice? [00:15] slidinghorn: multiple workspace commanline reply with some msgs i think it doesn't accomplish what used to be [00:15] jamesw, sudo dpkg --reconfigure packagename [00:15] hotfloppy: I did. It was actually /dev/sda2, in this case. === soreau_ is now known as soreau [00:15] slidinghorn: this is the reply Value type is only relevant when setting a value [00:15] jkalex05: devede will convert avi/mpg/any video format to an iso for burning .. then use brasero or any burning software [00:15] scorp_, it should retain current wine configs. I open Synaptic, click "refresh" "mark all updates" and "apply" in order. [00:15] slidinghorn: this is the reply "Value type is only relevant when setting a value" [00:16] ok [00:16] thank you SlidingHorn [00:16] It's been awhile since I've used linux in general. A year or more I think. Does anyone know if Wine/game compatibility has been improved? How about running in 64bit? Is support for that improved? [00:16] magellan, did you try the method without the command line? (they talked about it a couple replies before the command line link [00:16] MindVirus: A pulseaudio issue probably [00:16] mgiffels, in what sense? either way, probably a better question for #winehq [00:16] scorp_, it may not get you in game: all US servers are down. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/realmstatus/ [00:16] Not realy wine specific questions though [00:16] jkalex05: i prefer k3b.. the only minor downside is it requires about 200MB of kde libraries. in my case drive space is not an issue. [00:17] mgiffels, well it's not ubuntu specific either. [00:17] I'm wondering how well things will run in 64bit really [00:17] jkalex05: k3b will burn the iso to disc [00:17] I know back in the day there were lots of issues with 64 [00:17] SuperLag: weird.. maybe it was in fat32 format ? [00:17] mgiffels: 64bit Ubuntu works well as good as or about as good as the 32bit [00:17] mgiffels -- for wine, see winehq.org and there is no 64 bit wine that has reached alpha, as far as I know. [00:17] its ok im running on a TB hd [00:17] I can still run 32bit Wine in 64bit Ubuntu though right? [00:17] would that effect updating?? [00:18] mgiffels, yes you can [00:18] scorp_, that should update everything on your system that can update. [00:18] mgiffels: you can run 32bit apps, in the 64bit Wine [00:18] Anyone seen issues when upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 with dmraid? [00:18] I thought there wasn't a 64bit wine [00:18] jkalex05: then k3b would be a wise choice for burning software. [00:18] SuperLag: sory for my bad grammar :P [00:18] SlidingHorn dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure, and --configure says it is already installed and configured [00:18] mgiffels, you can use 32 bit wine w/ 64 bit kernels. But there is no 64 bit wine. [00:18] Gotcha [00:18] learner7, synaptic or update manager [00:19] Now how about SLI? That work ok? [00:19] jamesw, i'm sorry, it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure [00:19] scorp_, it's up to you. I use synaptic b/c I like the finer level of control it offers. [00:19] jkalex05: the difference in Ubuntu is.. you would need to convert a non-DVD ready format to something that is compatible with any player. which is what devede will do. then burning that converted file to disc with k3b [00:19] i used that but i cant find the update you are talking about [00:20] do i need to configure synaptic to show me rc updates [00:20] ya i figured that much out so far [00:20] I have two nvidia cards in SLI. Just want to make sure they will run ok in Ubuntu [00:20] im converting with devede right now [00:20] scorp_, have you set up the wine ppa for ubuntu? [00:20] learner7, ppa??? [00:20] mgiffels, i have set up two gtx 260's with sli on the nvidia driver...

[00:21] hi, I have issues with wifi on my acer aspire 5101 [00:21] how do I mount a cd with exec permissions? i tried sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it said that /dev/sr1 coudn't be found on /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [00:21] it keeps disconnecting [00:21] yup but i dont get the add panel it is in gray and you cannot select it [00:21] the signal is ~100%, but I can only ever connect for a second or two [00:22] mgiffels, depends what you want to do... I have not tried them out with CUDA. [00:22] magellan, hrrm...wish I was running netbook -- maybe I'd be of more assistance :-\ [00:22] Laurenceb: Do you have other machines on the same network? === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [00:22] Why does the download area say that 64bit is not recommended for daily desktop use? =( [00:22] scorp_, there are instructions on the winehq.org site -- click Download, then Download Ubuntu Packages [00:22] soreau: no [00:22] slidinghorn: it seems odd it because i must press the right click several times as if im playing so that the other menu which theres a add panel but u cannot select it [00:22] its a bt hub if that helps [00:22] using WEP64 encription [00:22] thank you SlidingHorn, any way to get the pretty x-based dialog? [00:22] or does it not really matter? [00:22] mgiffels, it's not as highly developed as the 32-bit, as there aren't as many people using it/working on it -- from what I hear it's a bit buggy, but it does work [00:23] jamesw, not that I know of [00:23] ty [00:23] DrPoO: I want them to run games and what not. I remember having performance issues with games in the past. I'm hoping that this new setup that I have will alleviate that. [00:23] \ [00:23] can i ask what a program use like snagit on windows so that i can take screenshot on live..like when you right click it [00:23] print screen dont capture right click [00:23] What can I do to revert to the version of dmraid available before upgrading to 10.04. I believe it was 1.0.0.rc15 [00:23] mgiffels, you would only need 64-bit wine to run 64-bit windows apps. How many of those do you have? [00:24] how do I mount a cd with exec permissions? i tried sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it said that /dev/sr1 coudn't be found on /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [00:24] mgiffels, what game are you going to run on ubuntu that requires an SLI setup? [00:24] i want to play it :p [00:24] magellan: You can set a delayed screenshot (with gimp or 'gnome-screenshot -d 5'), then right click and wait for it to snap [00:24] learner7: Not any that I know of. I was just going to ask if 64bit was even worth running [00:24] So nobody can tell me how i can get my dvd back to work? [00:24] DrPoO: No game requires it. But its nice to do =) [00:24] mgiffels, in that case I'd say no. [00:25] learner7, omg this is confusing, so do i need git, and this is just very complicated im a linux noob [00:25] magellan, not sure if it has the function you're looking for, but you can try shutter: sudo apt-get install shutter [00:25] I just remember games in the past running under Wine some times had poor performance. With 2 GTX 480s I'd hope I won't have any problems. [00:25] exit [00:25] Just want to make sure that SLI is properly supported before I take the plunge. [00:26] try this game out [00:26] scorp_, you should check the download instructions at http://winehq.org -- click "Download" then "Download Ubuntu Packages" [00:26] http://www.kongregate.com/games/IriySoft/cursed-treasure-dont-touch-my-gems [00:26] when joining an ubuntu machine to an active directory, would these instructions still be the most accurate? [00:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto === sandy is now known as Guest54403 [00:26] mgiffels, you can always try dual-booting first to see if it works the way you want it to [00:26] mgiffels, if you want to make your life easy, install xp or some other windoze on a separate partition and problem is solved [00:26] scorp_, if you're in 9.10 or 10.04, it's like 2 or 3 terminal instructions. [00:26] DrPoO: Yeah...Dual booting kinda sucks though. [00:26] learner7, that is much easier [00:26] learner7, lol [00:27] does lucid install with any GUI apps for fan control? [00:27] mgiffels, what's wrong with dual booting (sorry if we're veering off topic here) [00:27] scorp_, happy to help. see also http://ofwineandwarcraft.blogspot.com -- my linux / wow blog. [00:27] SlidingHorn: Nothing is wrong with it. It's just a personal preference. [00:27] mgiffels, gotcha [00:28] can somebody help me here please? T_T how do I mount a cd with exec permissions? i tried sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it said that /dev/sr1 coudn't be found on /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [00:28] I guess I'll just have to give it a shot [00:29] I miss Linux =( [00:29] mgiffels, buy a playstation :p [00:29] DrPoO: Why? [00:30] so that you dont have to install windows [00:30] lol [00:30] How does a playstation do that? [00:31] DrPoO, playstations are lousy for first person shooters. [00:31] i was just kidding [00:31] Slidinghorn: Maybe you can saw the screenshot i post. the first one is a simple right click the second one is a multiple right click its like you baby pressing right click may times [00:31] screenshots "http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6661/panelshot1.png [00:31] http://img532.imageshack.us/img532/3535/panelshot2.png" [00:32] w00t im in a screenshot [00:33] it feels good to be a legend [00:33] learner7, the update had an error no pubkey [00:33] How about Flash and Silverlight?

[00:34] scorp_, did it refuse to install, or give you the option? [00:34] mgiffels, netflix has 0 support for linux [00:34] That makes me a sad panda [00:34] Can i see somehow all devies conecktet to my computer? [00:34] i put the ppa in software sources and when i went to hit reload it gave me that error [00:34] mgiffels, and if you threaten to cancel because of it, they won't give a damn [00:34] hah! [00:34] i wish i could take a screen shot [00:35] scorp_, ok. search synaptic for wine, see what version is available. [00:35] I have a setup in the living room where I can watch Netflix. I'll just have to stick with that [00:35] should I have 2 pids for samba? [00:35] hi, one question, I want that pam autentification use other shadow file, how do I do? [00:35] magellan, is it the same all across the panel? looks like you're pretty close to the xchat icon, which would explain why you cant select "add to panel" [00:36] slidinghorn:yup i already try it anywhre [00:36] damn. [00:36] learner7, version 1.2 rc4 [00:36] specific for user [00:36] learner7, success :) [00:37] scorp_, indeed.

Use that. And you don't have to log out. [00:40] Runar: Yes (in that case grub has gone missing) [00:40] arand, no, I get into grub [00:40] when i go to the about tab on wine it still says the old version [00:40] Runar, what happens when you *try* to boot ubuntu?

[00:56] I thought so [00:57] Although it sort of made sense with what I said earlier :D [00:57] xxpor: None that I know of, maybe it's worth trying specific support channel, like #emacs? === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [00:58] Runar: If you was a little more desperate to solve your problem, it could have even helped you.

Can you describe the problem? [01:09] ya, i found that having 4g of ram helps, and not using anything else while it converts is easier., also vaul there is a firefox addon that does well aka: downloadhelper, it has a built in converter.

[01:13] Raac: yes- i didn't like it - not really an ubuntu support question though [01:13] An issue tracking system (also trouble ticket system, support ticket or incident ticket system) is a computer software package that manages and maintains lists of issues, as needed by an organization. Issue tracking systems are commonly used in an organization's customer support call center to create, update, and resolve reported customer issues, or even issues reported by that organization's other employees. An issue tracking system often also contains [01:13] a knowledge base containing information on each customer, resolutions to common problems, and other such data. An issue tracking system is similar to a "bugtracker", and often, a software company will sell both, and some bugtrackers are capable of being used as an issue tracking system, and vice versa. [01:13] thnaks ubottu [01:14] can anyone help me.. i need one in ubuntu [01:14] ah k.

Please read up and investigate them. [01:14] How do you unrar files split up into multiple archives? [01:15] Cyrusthebeast: the unrar command - rar just picks up on it [01:15] so just "unrar file name"? [01:15] Cyrusthebeast: try by just opening the LAST .rar one in the series [01:15] yup [01:15] how is ubuntu compared to windows 7 [01:15] i bet windows 7 pwns this [01:15] Raac: are you just here to troll?

[01:16] Guest54403: If you want a hosted option with commercial support from Canonical, look into launchpad.

[01:16] !ot > Raac [01:16] Raac, please see my private message [01:17] i deleted windows 7 [01:17] lol [01:17] Raac: for you, yes, thanks for sharing :) [01:17] and kept ubuntu [01:17] I dualboot win7 and ubuntu and I like both [01:17] SteveMcQueen, blow me ;) [01:17] jkalex05: please don't feed trolls :) [01:17] * ubutom thinks to himself why people don't just use the OS that suits them and stop this flamewars.. [01:17] unrar isn't working, it's giving me a list of commands, the "e" command is "extract files to current directory" [01:17] ah k [01:17] <_CommandeR_> guys anyone tried ubuntu and wubi on a raid partition ? [01:17] i dont game so ubuntu is all i need [01:17] Raac: the window list on my kubuntu doesnt seem to break nearly as often as the one on windows, wide wallpapers for dual-monitors actually work on ubuntu & kubuntu, and we don't need anti-virus [01:17] So would I do unrar filename -e? [01:17] Raac: Agreeably Win7 may win in some areas, but better IS relative [01:17] Cyrusthebeast: pastebin your terminal [01:18] Cyrusthebeast: unrar e LASTRARHERE.rar; try that [01:18] is anyone here knows about trouble ticket?

[01:19] was actually faster than it would take in windows 7 [01:19] <_CommandeR_> anyway anyone knows how to fix wubi on raid drive? [01:19] Ah, that was it, thanks Typos_King === SteveMcQueen is now known as Notepad [01:19] anyway to get past .rar passwords? [01:19] Raac: anyway, if you wanna chat about windows, do it in ##windows, and if you want to compare/contrast various OSes, i suggest #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic, as neither are on-topic for here [01:19] _CommandeR_: no need to repeat - it's likely that nobody has an answer for you right now [01:20] Typos_King: coz i need to install that in my ubuntu.. can anyone help me with that? [01:20] Cyrusthebeast: google [01:20] Cyrusthebeast: there's a secret for that, ssssshhh, use the correct password :) ssssh [01:20] That way is boring, Typos_King! [01:20] :] [01:20] Typos_King: nah you don't have to use the correct password - just one with the same hash as the correct one [01:20] <_CommandeR_> hm [01:20] Cyrusthebeast: we don't discuss anything illegal in here [01:20] Random832: .. ah... I well :) [01:20] Ahadiel, now I'm back and stable with Ubuntu. The only thing I miss now is the ability to press Mouse3 to scroll :( [01:21] MTecknology, why does that imply illegal? [01:21] You discussed helping me un.rar an illegal file :D [01:21] Tell me, is there any channel here like #fedora-social or #mandriva-chat? [01:21] Daekdroom, because the owner of a rar most likely knows the password [01:21] Okitain: there are, I don't have the names offhand [01:21] ubutom, what if he doesn't? [01:21] ^ [01:21] erikd, sorry for that highlight, I accidentally tab'd :( [01:21] ubutom, i.e. forgot or it can't seem to work [01:21] Daekdroom: multi-part rar archives with passwords where a person doesn't know that password are going to be illegally obtained >99% of the time [01:21] ubutom: who says it's automatically illegal for anyone other than the owner to open the contents [01:22] This one isn't a multi-part [01:22] The other one was [01:22] Daekdroom, that'S another story, but in 99% of the cases it means he wants to unrar stuff he doesn't own [01:22] what if the person who made the file is dead and he inherited it? [01:22] Random832, yeah, very likely [01:22] This one is just my friend being a dick [01:22] he put all my porn in a .rar file and passworded it [01:22] :[ [01:23] Cyrusthebeast: please stop this conversation now [01:23] -.- [01:23] ubutom: or what if he is the legal guardian of the person who made the file [01:23] Guest54403: installing a trouble ticket? you'd usually just write it down, and it becomes your 'inquiry' reference number for the helpdesk that issued it, not sure on installing it [01:23] I was just informing you of the situation [01:23] or, right, what if someone put his files in a rar and passworded it without his approval [01:23] ^ [01:23] Which happened. [01:23] This is truth. [01:23] Random832, so what, is a legal guardian per default the owner of files that aren't his? [01:24] ubutom, what if we are talking about underages? [01:24] I'm 19 [01:24] anyone having problems with boxee on ubuntu 10.4 [01:24] Cyrusthebeast, not the point [01:24] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and for some reason it can't recognize my four cores (AMD Phenom 2 x4 940), only two cores. Four cores works in Windows and worked in 9.10. [01:24] MTecknology: Do you actually know that nothing is illegal until proven otherwise in court? [01:24] I installed it find wont launch or open up [01:24] Typos_King: yup that's it but im having a hard time what open source trouble ticket will i use and how to install it here in ubuntu [01:24] eehehe [01:24] Cyrusthebeast: your porn is probably in violation of copyright law anyway, I was just making an argument of general principles :P [01:24] how can I open things from terminal [01:24] It's not! [01:24] vaul: that is 1) offtopic and 2) irrelivant and 3) only in some countries [01:24] i thought this was a family friendly channel. [01:24] Daekdroom, what does age matter? If a nine year old makes a rar with a picture he drew for a girl it's his file and not the parents [01:25] Guest54403: sounds more like you're confused, can you gives us the url of the page that gave you those instructions? [01:25] I got them from valid sites that I pay for and don't want to spend a shit-ton of bandwidth downloading again [01:25] does anyone know of a good linux utility that i can add to a ubuntu boot cd that will allow me to undelete files from a drive formatted ntfs? [01:25] Cyrusthebeast: so, you paid for it (including the right to download for offline use), or made it yourself? [01:25] Oh well. We better cease discussing this or move to offtopic channel.. [01:25] ubutom: well _someone's_ not a parent [01:25] Yes, I paid [01:25] !undelete | whompapotamus [01:25] whompapotamus: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [01:25] I would give the site name but apparently you guys don't like that :[ [01:25] Random832, sure don't wanna be your kid then [01:25] Cyrusthebeast: There are software which would allow you to bruteforce .rar archive, but this wouldn't get you anywhere. [01:25] Daekdroom: if it was possible to bypass a password, what the heck would the point of having a password be? [01:25] anyone having problems with boxee on ubuntu 10.4 [01:25] hi guys.... i was wondering ... in ubuntu is there versioning in the repositories? [01:25] ubutom: you can't think of any legitimate need for a parent to be aware of the files their children are handling? [01:26] Why, vaul? [01:26] I installed it find wont launch or open up [01:26] Cyrusthebeast: It's just simplier to download new porn, trust me. :-D [01:26] whompapotamus: why not run a live-win32 with undelete utilities? http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ [01:26] maco, making it harder to actually get access? [01:26] what if it's - well, to bring us back to this example, what if it's porn [01:26] !op [01:26] Help! Channel emergency!

[01:26] or drug related stuff [01:26] vaul, this was my favorite porn of all time! Me needz it :[ [01:26] Daekdroom: its supposed to make it *impossible* [01:26] maco, it never does [01:26] maco: isn't talking about cracking a password and porn offtopic for ubuntu channels? [01:26] yo! folks! stop talking about porn! not child-friendly! [01:26] can i install different versions of an app from the ubuntu repos? [01:26] or a drawing they made that shows disturbing psychological things that they need to get help with [01:26] And the site has many new videos and I'd never be able to find them all :P [01:26] It is impossible to read this so fast [01:26] Random832, even children have rights and you don't protect them by digging your nose in everything they do [01:26] Cyrusthebeast: Stop it already. [01:26] MTecknology: yes, cracking and porn are both off-topic here [01:26] Random832, there is a thing called trust [01:26] Cyrusthebeast: There is no way to effectively do this. [01:27] porn is an acronym for puppies on raids nachos [01:27] vaul: can you help me [01:27] Daekdroom: either way, I'd help if I can establish such scenario, sadly, over irc we can't reliable establish it, so all we have is your 'claim' that it's so [01:27] ubutom: there is also something called internet pseudo-libertarianism [01:27] maco: why is it just ignored? [01:27] Typos_King, well, indeed... =/ [01:27] Killaklown: I can try, what is it? [01:27] whatever, i'm done [01:27] can i install different versions of an app from the ubuntu repos or would i have to install from source [01:27] Typos_King: i will check that out... i wanted to see if there was a command line utility that would do it - but it seems there are more utilities for windows than linux for that task [01:27] ubutom: my point stands that whatever you may think of it, it's not ILLEGAL [01:27] Random832, if anyone would monitor you as you are or will be monitoring your children, what would that be to you, illegal? [01:27] MTecknology: i just said "stop talking about porn"! thus, not ignored :) and nobody's helping Daekdroom because they all know its not a question they're permitted to answer so... Daekdroom just gets to be frustrated [01:27] Typos_King: here's the link http://otrs.org/ [01:28] for a parent to access their childrens' files, password-protected or not [01:28] Killaklown: It is done easily via package manager. [01:28] maco, what? I didn't even ask about that [01:28] vaul: yes but say... there is irssi 1.2.4 and i want irssi 1.2.7 how do i get this? [01:28] Random832, I did not say it was illegal, but I said they don't automatically become the owner! [01:28] Daekdroom: you asked about cracking [01:28] maco, I was just talking about presuming cracking is illegal. [01:28] whompapotamus: well, given the fact that ntfs will be a Windows filesystem type, I'd expect that to be the case [01:28] maco, I didn't ask [01:28] Random832, ubutom: can you take the parents-vs-children argument to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:28] ubutom: yes you did, since i didn't say they _were_ the owner [01:28] cracking is not always illegal. [01:28] it wouldnt be called cracking if it wasnt :P [01:29] dammit [01:29] Cyrusthebeast: it's not acceptable in this channel [01:29] vaul: sorry bitlbee 1.2.4 and i want version 1.2.7 [01:29] the cr is "criminal" [01:29] Killaklown: There, you can change… Wait, I'll get you a screenshot. [01:29] Random832, no, I didn't, but suit yourself. [01:29] ok [01:29] every time i see a # and words after it i must join [01:29] Bleh, I'm just saying that it's not always illegal :P Not asking anymore about it ^^ [01:29] my argument was the overarching point of someone who is _not_ the owner but for whom it is nonetheless _not illegal_ for them to access the files - everything i said, and everything replied TO me [i.e. what you said] - is to be understood in that context [01:29] tell Cyrusthebeast about ot [01:29] ubutom: tell Cyrusthebeast about ot [01:29] Cyrusthebeast: It is not illegal at all, it is just offtopic and annoying as hell. [01:29] !google ot [01:29] so, yes, you did argue that it is illegal. [01:29] !offtopic [01:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:30] fine google? [01:30] Cyrusthebeast: he needed a "f" that wouldnt result in me kicking him [01:30] s/he/he or she/;s/him/him or her/ [01:30] the google on what? [01:31] Typos_King: a coworker runs XP - i use linux - he deleted a bunch of folders (user error to blame) and is looking to me for help [01:31] Cyrusthebeast: the google on the topic you are trying to get help with [01:31] gah nevermind [01:31] Killaklown: Are you sure you have this verison supplied by any repository?

[01:31] Is there a way to reinstall Ubuntu 10.04 without having to format the whole partition? I mean, like keeping /home/username/, but reinstall (delete everything else) everything else. [01:31] vaul: i only see one version... 1.2.4 [01:31] vaul: i want to install 1.2.7 i'm not sure its in repos.. whats what i was asking... what do i do when i want an upgraded version of an app [01:32] kaosoft > did you make a seperate home partition when you installed ubuntu? [01:32] Guest54403: well, is an app to help people in a techhelp desk, to organize and track tickets, is all, most likely a database-based CMS [01:32] Killaklown: Then problem is, you should first add a repository that have this verison, or just wait for an repository update. [01:32] vaul: :( [01:32] KaOSoFt: You need to install /home and anything else onto its own partition - then it can stay there when you reinstall [01:32] Killaklown: But this could be very long.

[01:32] vaul: thougth there was like a "testing" repo or something [01:32] Random832, maybe your law [01:32] Killaklown: So, it's better to add some PPA repository or else. [01:32] Random832, ubutom: seriously, you two are FAR off topic [01:32] Random832, Big Brother is greeting [01:32] kesroesweyth, MTecknology, I haven't.

[01:33] Random832, ubutom: if you want to debate privacy laws, do it elsewhere, like #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic [01:33] maco, yes, apologies [01:33] Killaklown: If it's stable release it don't have to be testing repository.

[01:34] KaOSoFt: that's tricky though - just make backups and start fresh - this time [01:34] Killaklown: Not neccessay. [01:34] Guest54403: yeah, but ... well. I don't use it, soooo, your question is specific to this otrs.org app, no a ubuntu per se [01:34] vaul: ok so how else would i get the current version? [01:34] Killaklown: If it's popular, someone already compiled it. [01:34] glaucous: "ls -ld /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?" only shows two cpu? [01:34] vaul: and where would i find that?

[01:59] siddhion > do you have grub installed? [01:59] thune3, no luck with the USB thing. I also tried to disable ACPI as well, which was a problem someone else had, no luck there either though [02:00] kesroesweyth i believe i do but how do i find out via Terminal jsut to be sure? [02:00] hey gang. my macbookpro5.3 has a OSX partition as well as a Ubuntu one. When I start the computer it auto boots to OSX. If I hold 'alt'on start I can select to boot from Ubuntu's grub partition (in the menu here it calls it "Windows" and my Linux file system directory seems to not be detected). [02:00] I'd like to have the macbook boot from grub by default (it's actually grub2) as linux is my main system now [02:00] is there some way to set which partition is booted from by default? I see that OSX has a '*' in the boot collumn when running fdisk -l === pepee_ is now known as pepee [02:01] siddhion > grub loads just after your system posts when you turn it on. it provides a list of boot options like windows and linux distros with various kernels installed [02:01] !guiedlines | CyrusSucksAtBt4 Please have a look at these [02:01] how do I find out my hard drive activity (shell plz) [02:02] !guidelines > CyrusSucksAtBt4 Please haev a look at these.

[02:07] Asking again since I had to relog for a while before: "I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and for some reason it can't recognize my four cores (AMD Phenom 2 x4 940), only two cores. Four cores works in Windows and worked in 9.10." [02:08] siddhion > yes you have grub, apparently grub2 actually [02:08] ennui: Macs use EFI, and only an EFI bootloader can be the "default", and Ubuntu is using grub-pc, which is a BIOS bootloader. You have two options, 1: install rEFIt, which is a easy to use graphical bootloader for EFI 2: Use grub-efi, which works fairly well but isn't currently very easy to install. [02:08] glaucous: try updating the bios on your motherboard [02:10] siddhion > you could try running sudo update-grub [02:10] Saul_Goodman, almost got the latest, the only difference with the new one is CPU Compatibility with AMD Phenom x6 CPUs. [02:10] Jordan_U ok holding SHIFT worked .... I saw the list but I did not see the new kernel that I installed [02:10] kesroesweyth i got into grub [02:10] ennui: Since I assume you'll want to go with rEFIt, you can use the "legacyfirst" (meaning bios based bootloader, i.e. grub-pc) option to make Ubuntu the default OS. See: http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c3s3_config.html [02:11] siddhion > that *should* cause grub to see and included in the boot list any new available kernels [02:11] siddhion: How did you install the new kernel?

[02:26] vaul: i cant compile my kernel [02:26] maco: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler [02:26] siddhion: Are you absolutely sure you installed the the -image packages? Can you try again just to be sure? [02:26] how do i change my wireless mac address? [02:27] xxu: I can try and provide you with instructions, but I am not that good with compiling kernels. [02:27] why is my computer beeping? [02:27] Jordan_U I will try again. should I uninstall the source package? [02:27] xxu: need help with compiling a kernel? [02:27] siddhion: No need. [02:27] xxu: General response to that topic is to upgrade flash plugin. [02:27] it's like 3 system sound beeps [02:27] vaul: would it require reinstalling my ubuntu install? [02:27] xxu: No. [02:27] Jordan_U ok. be back in a bit. === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [02:28] zkriesse: With an Brain Fuck Sheduler.

[02:29] please advise a software (for linux) to backup an ENTIRE WEBSITE (Google Groups, for instance) [02:29] Crayboff: bios post 'beeps' can depend on the Motherboard. [02:29] zkriesse: Patch itself is here. [02:29] djzn: ive used httrack in the past. but some comlex sites may be hard to do.

Version 3.43.9-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 35 kB, installed size 108 kB [02:29] xxu: If installing a kernel with BFS helped signifigantly it would only be as a side effect of recompiling the nvidia drivers. While it can make some things faster, it's not going to be enough to get you back to the speed you were getting before, and the root cause really doesn't sound like a kernel problem. [02:30] Dr_Willis: umm alright, well i recently got a new motherboard from Dell, that the technician installed. should i be concerned? [02:30] djzn: if the site allows it (error 403??) you can try wget with the '-m' (mirror) option. [02:30] vaul see thats http://imagebin.org/102356 [02:30] greathector7: It seems it is not locale, but encoding problem. [02:30] EEMPHASISS: what I want is to backup a google group for a criminal case [02:30] greathector7: Give me a minute. [02:31] thats allrigths [02:31] i need locales for installing the code iso 8815-xxxx [02:31] ok the error im encountering is the following: "Fatal: Error inserting vesafb (/lib/modules/2.6.35-2-generic/kernel/drivers/video/vesafb.ko): No such device ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell:". I also get a error similar to this that i cant copy because it just flashes then goes away. i do not know if this is the same error or not but i think so. [02:32] djzn: There is probably a way to get the entire mailing list logs in mbox format, just through the normal google groups interface. [02:32] greathector7: Do you have according localization package installed? [02:33] _CommandeR_: Wubi, as far as I know, was not designed to be used with RAID (let alone Fake RAID), so the initramfs for the kernel it installs does not have raid support. [02:33] you say locales? [02:34] Jordan_U I just installed the image and it says Done. in Terminal but places the cursor on a blank line. is it still processing something or can I just press CTRL - c to escape that? [02:34] greathector7: Yes. [02:34] not [02:34] siddhion: It's still processing. [02:34] greathector7: Try it. [02:34] <_CommandeR_> Jordan_U, hm is there a way to fix it? [02:35] apt-get install locales [02:35] Jordan_U oh never mind. right i see. it just finished. last time i pressed CTRL - c ... maybe that was the problem! [02:35] greathector7: No, not that. [02:35] greathector7: What version do you have? [02:35] greathector7: Of Ubuntu? [02:35] Crayboff: is it working properly? whats the problem you are having? its just beeping? when? [02:36] _CommandeR_: Possibly, but it's going to take a lot of work (and may not succeed in the end). So you can decide if it's worth the effort or not. Installing Ubuntu to it's own partition with the standard installer will probably work fine though. [02:36] nop [02:36] knnoppik [02:36] Jordan_U I tryed installing rEFIt before with the installer bundle on OSX, but I never saw the menu upon start up after trying several times [02:37] Dr_Willis: everything else appears to be working, just these random beeps, three beeps like every 30 or so minutes? i dunno how frequently it happens, rare enough to startle me, often enough for me to ask about it [02:37] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [02:37] locales: Depends: glibc-2.7-1 [02:37] E: Broken packages [02:37] <_CommandeR_> Jordan_U, i see [02:38] greathector7: I am not familiar with the Knoppix package names or package system. You should try finding it youself, or try finding support on the Knoppix channel. It is Ubuntu support channel, to be fair.

[02:38] Jordan_U ok should I check the GRUB.cfg file or should I restart and press SHIFT? [02:38] siddhion: Check the grub.cfg file first. [02:39] Jordan_U: You said installing BFS do not help with flash performance. Is there something I missed about that thing? [02:39] hio, after the latest series of updates, my shutdown menu on the far right top is gone [02:41] Jordan_U: Actually, I never tried that myself, but I read a lot of positive responses about that thing. [02:41] Jordan_U ok yes. I see the new kernel listed there. so how do I make GRUB boot the new kernel everytime with out having to press SHIFT to enter GRUB? [02:41] vaul: Video used to play smoothly for him before, and now it's signifigantly worse. That means that 1: There is a problem somewhere that has made his situation worse, that needs to be fixed 2: Trying to work around the root cause by getting slightly better general performance with BFS will not make up for the difference. [02:41] Jordan_U: Thank you, I think I missed some of the information he provided. [02:41] siddhion: Grub by default boots the kernel with the highest version first. [02:42] Jordan_U ok sounds good. i will test this out then. be back in a bit. [02:42] Jordan_U: hey [02:42] Jordan_U: the entire mailing list sounds good.. but needs a hack, doesnt it [02:44] hello, when i do names=( Jennifer Tonya Anna Sadie ) in shell script, i get Syntax error: "(" unexpected, why is that [02:44] dark1: you can try #bash for scripting support [02:44] dark1: you might have to escape the (s with \ [02:44] thanks! [02:45] Jordan_U: any other reason to use rEFIt over grub-efi besides a easier installation? I think the boot to linux would be faster with grub-efi [02:46] I'm trying to write information into a .txt file from the command line. The line so far (which outputs the text I need to the screen), is "cat */_cards.dat | grep "id=" | cut -d "=" -f 2" [02:46] what else would I need to add to have it save that data to a .txt file? [02:46] ennui: Linux drivers currently don't work verry well when not booting from BIOS, so you'd want to load grub-pc from grub-efi anyway. [02:46] iantlopp: you can try #bash for bash scripting support, they might be able to help [02:46] sorry... [02:46] iantlopp: it's okay :) [02:46] iantlopp: Wait. === usuario-master is now known as acido [02:47] yes vaul? [02:47] iantlopp: You need to add " > Path/to/your/file.txt" This should work. [02:48] iantlopp: I think if path includes spaces, you need to take comand in the quotes. "Like theese." [02:48] iantlopp: Tell me if this worked, I am curious too. [02:49] vaul: or escape it. like this: Hello\ World [02:49] <_CommandeR_> Hi guys, trying to install Wubi but get an stdout error (http://pastebin.org/353110) [02:49] need some help setting up x11 forwarding over ssh, (google has failed me thus far) [02:49] maco: Didn't understand you. [02:49] vaul... it acted like it did but created no file... I didn't put a path at all, just collection.txt [02:49] err... " > collection.txt" was added to the end of my line. [02:49] vaul: instead of quotes it could be /home/vaul/Directory\ With\ Spaces/file [02:49] but it didn't create a collection file. [02:50] djzn: Google Groups is just a front end for usenet. Try finding a usenet client that will let you archive the messages. [02:50] iantlopp: No need for quotes if there are spaces int the path? I'll note this. [02:50] Jordan_U: not *all* Google Groups are usenet [02:50] iantlopp: I think you need to create a file youself. [02:50] no vaul... [02:50] Is there anyway to improve the refresh rate on virt-manager? when I run ls in the terminal, or a program that outputs lots of text, it takes forever for all the text to print out. I have tried both sdl and vnc windows. [02:50] >collection.txt worked, while > collection.dat did not (note the lack of space) [02:50] Jordan_U: its a gateway to usenet, yes, but there are plenty of groups that exist in GG that a usenet client wont see [02:51] iantlopp: So, it worked? [02:51] yeah [02:51] iantlopp: It may, I am not very good at Bash. [02:51] iantlopp: Thank you, I'll not for later. [02:52] getting: "sh: /usr/bin/xauth: Permission denied" when i try to forward x11 over ssh, suggestions anyone? [02:52] hmm.. is there any way to add a context menu item similar to "open cli here" when right clicking in or on a foldcer? [02:52] iantlopp: Surely. [02:52] iantlopp: But what is that «CLI» thing? [02:52] command line interface... the terminal, etc... [02:53] where you type bash commands. [02:53] a shell running in a terminal [02:53] iantlopp: Get Ubuntu Tweak, it allows you to customize Nautilus scripts availiable. [02:53] ahh, thanks [02:53] iantlopp: And there are surely this one availiable. [02:53] iantlopp: Or it may be an option in the Nautilus settings. [02:54] you could write a script that sets CWD and forks an xterm [02:54] Jordan_U hi. well I could not successfully boot into Xubuntu with the new kernel 2.6.35. I went to look at the boot commands by pressing 'e' at the menu. the commands for 2.6.35 and 2.6.22 seemed very familiar. could not spot any major differences. any ideas? [02:54] Jim: What are you talking about? [02:55] Jim: Uses of CLI? [02:55] <_CommandeR_> Hi guys getting an error (stderr=An error has occurred setting the element data during wubi install) (http://pastebin.org/353110 log) [02:55] a way of getting a cli where the dir is set from naut [02:55] how do I run a command on network connect (wifi) in ubuntu? thanks. trying to use my alias to open a SSH tunnel (tunnel &) [02:55] automagically [02:56] djzn: I'm not sure how best to archive the google group, but I will warn you that using a bot to download large numbers of pages may be seen as an attack and get you blocked from google groups. [02:56] I googled too and no answer [02:56] Jim: It do not need to be that complicated. [02:56] Jim: That's supposed to be for human beings. [02:56] vaul: oh, I forgot that people don't understand basic unix here [02:57] it's ok; forget I said anything [02:57] Jim: And most of them do not want too. Me included. [02:57] Jim: It's okay too, no need to apologise. But I am just not a programmer and do not want to be one. [02:58] does anyone have the answer? [02:58] Anybody know why the suspend/hibernate buttons are missing after an upgrade to Lucid? [02:58] all I need to do is run a command when nm-applet connects [02:58] in ubuntu [02:58] a tunnel command [02:58] is there any hook [02:58] jsilver: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:58] jsilver: there's a way! [02:58] I'm having a weird issue.. Trying to use cygwin so I can run rsync to back up my Windows C drive to my Ubuntu desktop. The issue is that I'm telling it to back up to user@ubuntu:/backups/voltron/ and it successfully creates the /backups/voltron/ dir, but it creates it with d------ (ie, 000) permissions so it's unable to chmod it or create any subdirs and basically the entire rsync job dies. [02:58] Anyone have any ideas that might help? [02:58] mikeliss, yay [02:58] I have to remember how I did this... [02:58] in any case the comment was not meant for you; it was meant for iantlopp who appeared to be able to understand [02:58] yay x4 mikeliss x 1100 [02:59] Ummmm......ah! I blogged this...one sec. [02:59] Jim: Unlikely. But I know what is terminal too, so no need for sarcasm. Just let's leave it already. [02:59] we see governments and corporations collaborating in ways unseen before, bringing an enforced type of [pergitude] <------ how to spell that darn word? spell checker on ubuntu doesnt have a clue [03:00] sorry Jim, I'm all over the place right now... trying to do too much at once, didn't see your comment. [03:00] So jsilver, you're going to need to create a small script. You know how to do that? [03:00] hi, ubuntu keeps filling itself up. i have no idea how. every 5 min it exhausts an entire 100 mb. [03:00] summary of my drive shows 6.1 GB / a four gb partition [03:00] Booyaa [03:00] mikeliss, yeah im comfortable with making scripts. im a coder [03:00] very lost and confused >.< [03:01] :) [03:01] i do ruy [03:01] ruby** [03:01] DarkNemesis: I doubt it is the right place to ask.

[03:01] jsilver: Basically, make a script, put it in the right place, set its permissions, call it done. [03:01] awesome mikeliss++; [03:01] well. ill just hope for the best then :\ [03:01] I can send mail via cli to ANYONE except someone on x-domain.com, which points to my server! but the mail server is on a different ip mail.x-domain.com.. why is blah@x-domain.com pointing to x-domain.com and not routing to mail.x-domain.com ?

Note that while it says to get the latest svn version, source is now managed with bzr. You can also just install the grub-efi package. [03:07] Nitsuga: Because simplicity is better. Most people shouldn't want the terminal all the time. [03:07] Jordan_U hi. well I could not successfully boot into Xubuntu with the new kernel 2.6.35. I went to look at the boot commands by pressing 'e' at the menu. the commands for 2.6.35 and 2.6.22 seemed very familiar. could not spot any major differences. any ideas? [03:08] siddhion: No. [03:08] mikeliss, in fact most people will want it... but whatever, it is at an apt-get of distance [03:08] Jordan_U: ok thanks for the help so far. learned quite a bit. [03:09] siddhion: You're welcome. [03:09] Nitsuga: Yeah, I should say: *I hope* most people shouldn't want it. [03:11] mikeliss: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9430765&postcount=7 this guy says recent updates to kenerl/packages fixed his syspend/hibernate menu problem in lucid. Do you have latest updates? [03:12] mikeliss: the terminal is much better, e.g. for support, if someone wants to tellyou what to install he has just to write down the apt-get line instead of "click on synaptic, search for the package, click on install and so on" === mike_ is now known as Guest91174 [03:13] Trust me if I could tell the people who use windows that I do support for to just open the terminal and type a few commands my life would be very easy.

Adding a profile through network connections only adds it to the active card and not to the card to be shared [03:17] iceroot: Oh yeah, definitely. But the "normal" people I talk to prefer to do things outside of the terminal, and don't want to ever interact with it.

[03:49] shouldn't it be plug-n-play [03:49] is there any way to switch to 32 bit [03:49] gnuyen: you need to reinstall [03:49] on a 64 bit system? I just want to keep my home directory intact and the things I have installed [03:49] anyone know how to restore a minimized window when using openbox without a taskbar? [03:50] gnuyen: using synaptic you can get a snapshot of your package state [03:50] can i reinstall over this system in such a way that it saves everything [03:50] Joshua_Roberts: Alt+Tab [03:50] Hi, how to resize '/' and '/home' partitions using liveCD? [03:50] gnuyen: not really - only if you setup separate partitions for /home to begin with [03:51] duh.. I even read that... and is such a useful part of windows. *why is my brain slipping gears now that I am using linux...?* [03:51] gnuyen, you could move your home to a separate partition if you wish [03:51] !home | gnuyen [03:51] gnuyen: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [03:51] gnuyen, backup your home directory to an external drive or usb drive and then nuke and pave. you will have to reinstall everything. [03:51] Joshua_Roberts: it's that easy? [03:51] gogu use gparted, if it's on there [03:51] bazhang: nice - didn't know that one [03:52] yes and Shift+Alt+Tab browses open applications backwards/ [03:52] vulkan i installed gparted. how to make it bootable? [03:53] gogu i'm not too famliar with the app, maybe one of the gurus in here is? [03:53] I have a 24MB iso file that is clearly not blank, yet when I mount it, nothing appears in the mountpoint [03:54] MTecknology, It is really neat. I may not go back to gnome once I learn enough xml to edit the menu, main files that openbox uses to organize everyting. [03:54] does anyone know what might cause this? [03:54] it's a BIOS update cd from lenovo [03:54] is there a way to write a disk image to a usb drive in ubuntu, it is a windows ISO i need to put on a USB stick. [03:54] Unetbootin doesnt work. [03:54] Joshua_Roberts: obconf obmenu [03:54] adamh_, never heard of windows handing out ISO's [03:55] bazhang: you can get them from their site when you buy it digitaly [03:55] vulkan ok. think its better to reinstall. Mine is 120gb HDD, 1GB RAM. how much space should I ideally allocate for Swap, '/' and '/home'? Pl advise. [03:55] adamh_, try in ##windows [03:55] they offer lots of software on isos [03:56] ? i need to do it in ubuntu, i need software to do it, i have tried it in virtualbox but it doesnt work. [03:56] leifw, tried UDF yet? got a USB and dd the iso to it?? [03:56] I tried udf [03:56] MTecknology, yeah I know, but obconf still lacks some features, like I can't edit the location of the window control buttons and such through obconf, I have to still use xml. [03:56] adamh_, never heard of it being doable via linux, which is why I suggest ##windows [03:56] I haven't tried just dding it to an iso, no [03:56] err [03:56] to a usb [03:56] Joshua_Roberts: yes you can - check it out again [03:56] hey guys/gals, got Ubuntu installed on a VirtualBox but cannot get a true fullscreen, is this a limit of VirtualBox? or my Ubuntu configuration of sorts? [03:56] xomp: install the guest additions [03:57] I'm following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=817897 which tells me to mount it and copy the files onto a prepared usb drive [03:57] but I'll try dd [03:57] adamh_: dd [03:57] leifw, get a usb and dd to it ~ it is most likely a bootable iso [03:57] iceroot: dd the iso to usb? [03:57] MTecknology, cheers I'll look into that! [03:57] adamh_: yes [03:57] kk ill try it now, thanks. [03:58] leifw, be warned ~ dd wil WIPE the usb ~ backup the data if needed [03:58] adamh_: there was an option in dd to use isos and other images [03:58] yeah I know [03:58] Gah. I really wish I had suspend buttons, and that they did something...any thoughts? [03:59] Hi For a 120gb HDD, 1GB RAM machine. how much space should I ideally allocate for Swap, '/' and '/home'?

[04:20] i really wanna use banshee but it keeps crashing when converting some songs. [04:20] Hi guys, not really sure where to ask this. I want to run a script (which will take a while to run) on a remote machine without having to stay logged in on my own. Is there a way with ssh (or anything else) to do this? [04:20] frodubuntu, hardware raid is much better than software raid.... [04:20] you might want to read up on rename... and experiment to make sure it's doing what you want [04:20] use screen [04:20] ok [04:21] Juanto, there are other apps too. But Floola worked with my 3rd gen ipod shuffle. so it should work with many other ipods [04:21] HermanDE-1 thank you [04:21] frodubuntu, If the pci-x raid is a software/firmware raid.... A straight software raid might be better.... [04:21] whats with recoivery console and slash? [04:21] and if you google you'll find a couple more apps [04:21] frodubuntu, are you sure that either choice is a real hardware raid? [04:21] okay well let me quiz you smerz [04:21] HermanDE-1 thank you very much [04:21] does it scan dirs all the time for changes? [04:21] MPCU use screen [04:21] i want something that is easy to use basically. [04:21] MPCU screen will allow you to leave the session running in th ebackground [04:22] Juanto, hmm tbh I'm force to use iTunes in a virtual machine. because of the voice over sounds [04:22] frodubuntu, It's even scriptable....... :) [04:22] eff [04:22] Juanto, so i don't have much experience. But Floola is definitely easy to use yes [04:22] what virtual machine are you using? wine? [04:22] Windows [04:22] HermanDE-1 yeah, I was answering MPCU's question on wanting to run a long script via ssh [04:22] frodubuntu, thanks, i'll definitely have a look at that [04:22] Virtualbox and Windows 7 guest [04:23] MPCU I'm assuming you want to lave the script running and then come back to it later? [04:23] i might just run that setup then because it seams like it's the only thing that'll work easilly. [04:23] frodubuntu, I don't care about restoring the session since the script writes a log [04:23] Floola will work easily [04:23] 你们为什么不说中文呢 [04:23] i'll give it another go. [04:23] MPCU, frodubuntu is right on the money.... Run screen on the server.... Peek in every now and again with ssh.... [04:23] Ok, where is what you can do then [04:23] i would recommend trying that one [04:23] gosh this openbox is sexy...

[04:25] MPCU you can first connect to your machine [04:25] and then fireup screen === fvr is now known as juragan_kopi [04:26] MPCU if you were to run 'screen ./MyScript.sh' and then you can "detach" (send to the background) your screen and logout, and the program will continue to run on that "screen" [04:26] haeagallo [04:26] ahahahlo [04:26] scorp_: that's offtopic for this channel [04:26] Anyone else having trouble with the WOW patch?

[04:27] MPCU else what you can do is login via ssh, then type "screen" (without double quotes), then fire-up your script, and hit Ctrl+D to "detach" your screen [04:27] MTecknology, does obconf let me set key bindings too? or is that still something I have to do manually? [04:27] MPCU no problem, I use it all the time and it was a life saver for me [04:27] Joshua_Roberts: i think that's a manual thing [04:27] Joshua_Roberts: an easy one at least :) [04:27] WAt r u talking about I need help.

Im running from a lucid install [04:46] Juanto, I have an ipod 5th gen, the 80GB model I think. itunes has a database that keeps track of the files. there is no current (that I know of) support for reading and writing to this database. but if you have an ipod where you just xfer files back and forth, like a nano, without needing itunes and its database, then you should be good to go [04:46] i've got an ipod classic 6th gen. [04:46] Juanto, if you want to see what I mean, go at the filenames for the music on your ipod [04:46] i'm fimilar with the file names [04:47] Juanto, just browse to the music folder. if it's got a bunch of 4 letter names than your ipod is using the itunes database [04:47] I know [04:47] s/than/then [04:47] I'm not stupid here. [04:47] so, what's your question? [04:47] Juanto, dude, I never said you were [04:47] Well i might as well ask i am having an issue with john the ripper. mostly for lack of understanding i am sure. how do i obtain the has to run the program on? [04:47] sorry, i'm a ittle edgy. [04:47] anyway, what version are you running because I can get some songs over using banshee [04:47] I have a question about audio configuration. I have two USB microphone devices connected: one is a logitech USB microphone, the other is a Logitech USB webcam with built in microphone. But when I go to the input tab, "choose device for sound input" only allows me to choose "Internal Audio Analog Stereo". How do I get it to allow me to choose one of the USB input devices? [04:47] i have already attempted to edit the grub.cfg file by hand (booting from USB) but I don't think that matter is I'm not loading the partition in the first place. Anyone know where to go from here? I mean, BIOS is dropping me into grub SOMEWHERE [04:48] BUT it keeps crashing when it tries to transcode some songs. [04:48] Juanto, I was able to get some songs copied from ipodgtk I think, but it was a poor replacement for actual syncing [04:48] Juanto: seidos: You don't need rockbox for iPod syncing support, all iPod (and iPhone) models are supported out of the box. [04:48] i do agree. [04:48] Juanto, yeah, I had to give up on some songs [04:48] if no one here is familiar with these issues, can you point me to a channel where I can get an answer?

[04:56] seidos: i've tired it and it works [04:56] jdsbluedevl, ics is windows, youll need to look into bridging your nic's if im understanding you correctly [04:56] it just won't transcode my files [04:57] ShrekLappy: right, I'm trying to connect a second device to the Internet indirectly [04:57] xmodmap,how to map "Ctrl+1" to another key? [04:57] and it's having a hard time with my 20k plus song library [04:57] ShrekLappy: I guess I'll try Firestarter first, but I imagine it's going to give me the same problem [04:57] Could someone please give me some pointers, I've been doing a very basic installation of ubuntu using a large (100gb, 80gb free space) windows partition and trying to have ubuntu split it in half and install ubuntu on the other half. But the thing is, it goes through the install like it's error free, then gives me nothing at all. Not even a modified partition (10.04 x86 standard) [04:58] Juanto, I doubt I'll be happy with it. I should probably keep going with my plan to switch to rockbox [04:58] hello room i just didn't want to be just a lurker, so i'm introducing myself and reading the advice here. I'm in the process of curbing my dependency on windows and going full throttle to linux I have the ubuntu live cd and have installed it using wubi [04:58] you may need to recompile your kernel, or at the very least load a kernel module [04:58] seidos: what is the rockbox you're talking about? [04:58] ShrekLappy: this is coming off a clean install [04:58] I supposedly have set up my ubuntu One preferences and account on 2 computers, I thought this was supposed to synchronize both computers with the other, it is not doing that, am I missing something? [04:58] I am tring to install 10.4 on an old 900 mhz amt, 512 mb ram, and every time i try to load it from the cd it tells me there is an unknown system error has occured, and it loads a bootable session to check the error, but asks for a username, and wont let me log in [04:58] Juanto, http://www.rockbox.org/ [04:58] * Juanto found it [04:59] thanks [04:59] jdsbluedevl: I shared internet with Firestarter, took me a while to get it sorted out... [04:59] Hayfever, How exactly are you installing? LiveCD? From your question, it sounds like it's a dual boot? [04:59] np. [04:59] qwiksilver711, Did you do a hardware check prior to installing? [04:59] i'm going to give that a shot and see if it works even though my ipod isn't supported with it [04:59] could anyone here explain to me the udev process? [04:59] SlidingHorn, yes. It's suposed to be a dual boot installation using a USB stick thats by the howto on the site. [04:59] jdsbluedevl, you could also set your machine up as a dhcp server, with the proper setup there you may be able to get it to work [05:00] Jordan_U: I haven't even finished reading this yet, but it sounds like exactly what I need. I wish I had known about chroot before! I'll stick around in case something comes up but again thanks for the link! [05:00] no what do you mean by hardware check [05:00] qwiksilver711, memcheck works really well... Run the factory check on the hard drive.... [05:00] Firefox 3.6.4 was released today and I want to upgrade to it. I downloaded the .tar.gz from their website, but where do I extract it to? [05:00] hi thebruce [05:00] ShrekLappy, hey man [05:00] what's going on [05:00] qwiksilver711, Age kills most computers.... With age, there are lots of possible failures.... [05:00] just trying to figure out how to configure my udeb [05:00] Hayfever, hrm..I've never used USB to install :-\ [05:00] udev** [05:00] nada, just wastin time helping ppl, since my help is not needed other places i guess [05:00] Is there a channel for chrome OS? [05:01] qwiksilver711, Run memtest86 from the CD.... Let it check the memory/cpu/motherboard..... [05:01] qwiksilver711, It may take a bit of time. You want atleast 2 good sweeps..... [05:01] ShrekLappy: Firestarter not working. Telling me Eth0 is not ready (Eth0 is going to be share-out, Eth1 is network-in) [05:01] SlidingHorn, it's really stranged and I'm stumped, never experienced anything like it. It goes through all the stages and even shows a progress bar that takes a few minutes. But then nothing is altered, no files are added, nothing. [05:02] qwiksilver711, Then follow that up with using the factory test tool from the hard drive maker... Usually you can download this from their site.... [05:02] qwiksilver711, Have the hard drive run a basic test.... [05:02] herman how true i just dug out an old laptop today hasn't been turned on in a while 64ram lol and like 386 or something tried to boot but it says windows is messed up then when it auto reobooted it says no os, tried to load a linux disk in there and it doesn't boot from the cd, so its gone lol its been in the closet for like three years or so [05:02] qwiksilver711, If everything looks good, try again. If it fails, check the CD.... [05:03] jdsbluedevil: you have to start your interfaces before Firestarter can configure them [05:03] selig5: ifconfig says Eth0 is up [05:03] I've got way too much time sitting in front of a system with a bad video ram chip thinking it is the OS..... [05:03] the mem test is in the iso i got from the website? [05:03] selig5: how else would I start the interface? [05:04] qwiksilver711, Which ISO did you download? [05:04] jdsbluedevil: eth0 needs an ip address [05:04] I supposedly have set up my ubuntu One preferences and account on 2 computers, I thought this was supposed to synchronize both computers with the other, it is not doing that, am I missing something? [05:04] qwiksilver711, Most distributions include memtest86 as well as a method of checking the CDROM.... [05:04] selig5: ok, what do I give it? [05:04] HermanDE-1, the one from the website, the i386 iso [05:05] selig5: ok, I did ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 [05:05] Firefox 3.6.4 was released today and I want to upgrade to it. I downloaded the .tar.gz from their website, but where do I extract it to? [05:05] jdsbluedevil: I gave my secondary card: 10.0.0.1 [05:05] Andorin: use Ubuntuzilla instead, much easier [05:05] hey guys. I attempted to do an 804 to 1004 upgrade today..and basically had a gui meltdown. The install never compleated and now...that machine has no workable grub entry from what i can tell. [05:05] jdsbluedevl: What on Earth is that? [05:05] SlidingHorn, I also just now noticed that the instalaltion shows zero planning for a grub installation of any kind, it usualy shows that at the last step of installation, it only shows the partitions it wants to modify or add. [05:06] Andorin: it's a package that allows you to upgrade to the latest Firefox and Thunderbird [05:06] andorin i think you could've just used symptec pkg manager to upgrade it automatically I think i'm totally new to linux and ubuntu [05:06] i installed f-spot from source , $/bin$f-spot i got fatal error Dbus , so i did $dbus-launch fspot i got fatal error Gconf error [05:06] selig5: ok, set up the IP address for the second card. What next? [05:06] i have an alternate install cd and tried to do a system recovery install. I told it to use the root of sda as the location for the boot loader. What else do i need to do to get a working kernel in there and restart the upgrade process? [05:07] kendoggie: The new version has to be in the software repositories for that to work, and it was just released, so it hasn't been added yet. [05:07] jdsbluedevil: you need to run dhcpd [05:07] Andorin: I might package it up for myself - you could wait for my ppa [05:07] Andorin oh well they're slow arent they [05:07] is the memtest for my hd inside the ubuntu iso? [05:08] i installed f-spot from source , $/bin$f-spot i got fatal error Dbus , so i did $dbus-launch fspot i got fatal error Gconf error [05:08] kendoggie: versions get locked so issues don't pop up [05:08] selig5: apparently the share is up now after running the wizard again, but Roku isn't detecting an ethernet connection [05:08] jdsbluedevl: No package named ubuntuzilla... what repository? [05:08] thats good [05:08] qwiksilver711, There is the desktop, server, alt install..... [05:08] LOVE_SP: installing directly from source usually isn't the best idea [05:08] oh sorry [05:08] alt install [05:08] Jordan_U: That worked perfectly, that was exactly what I needed! I owe you a beer, my friend! Goodbye for now, people, and thanks again! [05:09] qwiksilver711, Not a problem.... Should be in the boot menu.... [05:09] jdsbluedevil: sorry, don't know anything about rokubox [05:09] because the desktop one was running at like 25kbps so i downloaded the torrent one from thier website [05:09] how can i intsall f-spot to upload photos to facebook [05:09] i'm liking the support that ubuntu and other linux distros have where in windows they're kind of snooty not to say linux people aren't snooty i hear debian linux people frown on ubuntu [05:10] the normal f-spot with ubuntu 10.04 just freez when fetching photo albums [05:10] LOVE_SP: then file a bug report [05:10] how do i change the background image on the I.R.C. program!???

[05:42] reflash it [05:42] u can still mount it [05:43] ShrekLappy: It's : nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M] [05:43] codecx, go into synaptics and type glib and install it [05:43] jdsbluedevl, I only have terminal access on this box until I fix gdm. To do that I neet network access. Fromt he termina an ifcongi -a shows eth0 using an inet and inet6 address. I setup the inet, but I think the inet6 is messing with me. I also tried setting up wireless but i'm being stonewalled by the key. [05:43] weird, u got problems with a 5200, thats messed up [05:43] codecx: why aren't you using the irssi package? [05:44] ShrekLappy: I didn't understand. [05:44] no love for my article, damn :( [05:44] codecx: I see that someone already suggested that, but I don't see why you abandoned it [05:44] philien, im doin some lookin for ya [05:44] it needs glib but i don't know how to do [05:45] Doyle: ok, nvm, thought it was the same problem as me (I didn't know that 802.1X had finally gotten support in Ubuntu, so I was struggling to find the important wpa_supplicant file [05:45] codecx, you dont need glib, only if you are going to compile it, which you dont need to do [05:45] codecx: did "sudo apt-get install irssi" fail? [05:45] ShrekLappy: Is there a massage on lauchad [05:45] configure: error: GLIB is required to build irssi [05:45] codecx: if it did fail, put the output on a pastebin [05:45] hiexpo, so did you ever do the thing for my wifi card?

[05:46] jdsbluedevl, the whole wireless from terminal situation is evil [05:46] codecx: You will need the following packages, totalling 9MB: autotools-dev cvs debhelper diffstat gettext html2text intltool-debian libmail-sendmail-perl libperl-dev libssl-dev libsys-hostname-long-perl po-debconf quilt [05:46] ShrekLappy: Well the error isn't from video card but from where ?

[05:48] Doyle: thanks, but I already got it figured out that full 802.1X support has been available. That fixed one connection issue, but not the connection-sharing issue [05:48] ShrekLappy: Thanks for your help [05:48] codecx: whatever you do, don't compile glib from source [05:48] jdsbluedevl, you want to setupa proxy [05:48] codecx: that will not end well [05:49] anyone know how to remove kubuntu-deskop after installed [05:49] lol [05:49] any experts here on the bootup process?

[05:53] then thats fine isnt it hottuna [05:53] Doyle: I sorta do have a profile for that card right now, but it won't show up in nm-applet if the Internet-in connection isn't connected to that one (which would cause the profile to disappear from the other card) [05:53] no it's not [05:53] 11mBps > 70 mbps [05:53] SteveThing: just set it to Custom; you may need to install simple-ccsm for that option to appear, though [05:54] i did... animations don't work when set to custom [05:54] this is 100mb lan should I not get better than 11.0MB/s ? [05:54] 100 is in megabits [05:54] jdsbluedevl, as a workaround you coudl setup a dhcp server [05:54] HotTuna: Bud... I'd DREAM of a speed of 11MB/sec. [05:54] on a lan !? [05:54] you said your 11 is in megabytes? [05:54] HotTuna: oh. lol. [05:54] Doyle: ok, already downloaded dhcp3-server. Whatever I did next didn't work. What should I do next? [05:54] yea this is a lan guys [05:55] Trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my mac pro, I can not seem to boot a graphical display or see anything when i boot from the disc. [05:55] crdlb, well, when i set it to custom, it doesn't enable all the animations... 2 stars...? [05:55] 11 megabytes / sec is correct for a 100mbit lan [05:55] HotTuna: 100 megabits = 12.5 megabytes. considering protocol overhead, 11 megabytes is reasonable. [05:55] you guys serious ? [05:55] I just don't see the math [05:55] 1 byte = 8 bits [05:55] SteveThing: well, when it's on custom, you can turn on whatever you want in the full ccsm [05:55] HotTuna: there are eight bits in a byte [05:56] HotTuna: there are eight megabits in a megabyte [05:56] jdsbluedevl, now you're stuck. :/ [05:56] HotTuna: 100/8 = 12.5 [05:56] Doyle: lemme guess, you don't know how to set one up, either [05:56] then why does it work @ 20+ when I rmmod and modprobe my nic module for a few minutes anyway ? [05:56] probably inaccurate [05:57] cache or whatnot [05:57] HotTuna: if it's going over 12.5MB/s, you're either measuring wrong or not using a 100mbit connection. [05:57] crdlb, apparently not...

[06:49] hahahahaha: read the link ubottu gave you === karthik is now known as Guest87034 === Guest87034 is now known as karthi [06:49] hahahahaha, google "how to upgrade ubuntu" (sorry, I don't remember how to do it the ubuntu way...), and no, it will not damage your laptop [06:49] hahahahaha: you should back up important data first [06:50] cartes, what you use to boot yor usb? !grub or !grub2? ~ whatever you use reinstalling them will be fine ~ [06:51] surely there is some way to edit my fstab file... [06:51] sudo vim /etc/fstab [06:51] if I would be running 2 crossover apps, NOT wine, would it generally slow down dramatically?. [06:52] pepee, an invalid entry is causing the boot to hang, please see above comment [06:52] the_file: crossover is more or less the same as wine? Should not be much difference from running two linux programs [06:52] the_file: Two programs uses more resources than one.. [06:52] before i upgrade.. what are the Major differences between 9.10 and 10.04 pleasee [06:53] daffel: what I meant was since linux has to emulate **2** instancese of windows running 2 softwares [06:53] So there is no recourse if you screw up your fstab? [06:53] and crossover isn't the samething as wine [06:53] claymccoy, what does have to do fstab with the hang? [06:53] before i upgrade.. what are the Major differences between 9.10 and 10.04 pleasee????? [06:54] ls [06:54] hello [06:54] hahahahaha, no differences [06:54] hmm [06:54] window show 1` [06:54] I added a line to fstab for a new hard drive. now it hangs during mountall [06:54] window show 1 [06:54] hahahahaha: more themes [06:54] ohhh ok.. thanks [06:54] hahahahaha: faster boot up, few memory leaks fixed, and security imporved a bit [06:54] claymccoy, try removing/reconfiguring mountall [06:55] will i have to REDO everything in my compiz Config???? that would be a pain... [06:55] ok... is there a way to make vino execute a command upon client connection or should i make a script to parse its output? [06:55] hahahahaha: you CAN just save your configuration as xml or what ever that program lets you save it as..... [06:55] thanks for the info guys i appreciate it alot [06:55] how? [06:55] wait [06:55] yea how [06:55] does compiz allow you to save your configuration?. [06:55] claymccoy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure [06:55] I didn't use it before [06:56] thanks but I can't do anything, I don't have a prompt [06:56] hello [06:56] most configs are in ~/ as hidden folders [06:56] the_file: Yes. use ccsm>Preferences>Export/Import [06:56] oww thank god [06:56] ( ex: ~/.wine ) === SpyderBite is now known as Spyder|zzz [06:56] I assume there are a lot of settings that compiz has to offer so exporting them is a must for the program [06:56] i am having some issues (i believe since the last software update) with my intel hda soundcard [06:57] channel for c++..?

[07:49] Flomaster, you don't do that... [07:49] pepee: I don't do what? [07:49] maco:so that was it,than i use pavocontrol to correct it? [07:49] Flomaster, you have to *enable* sata from BIOS [07:49] Flomaster, and you can't [07:50] Flomaster, no. i think you have problem running some program. I dont know about this bios problem. [07:50] LinuxWay: that could be it. try changing it and see [07:50] ok [07:50] and linux will boot fine if sata is enabled [07:50] wildbat: its enabled and Ubuntu is running just fine on it, my other 250GB sata drive was just fine on it, the bois SEES the 1TBbut hangs up on it I MUST update my bois and silicon driver [07:50] Where does Ubuntu store LSO's? [07:51] i have option in my bios to disable or enable sata === Leon is now known as Guest63607 [07:51] I am running an older MoBO and it will not see anything bigger than 500GB unless I update my bios [07:51] Update then. [07:51] Flomaster, for updating BIOS, you can install DOS/FreeDOS in a USB pendrive, and run the prgram from it [07:52] flomaster, driver just don't go into bios... you said merge [07:52] Or if its windows based Flomaster UBCD and a usb stick for the data. [07:52] http://www.technutopia.com/forum/showpost.php?p=86742&postcount=13 [07:52] wildbat: WebDawg I may have used the wrong terminology but, itmust be done [07:53] Flomaster, btw are you sure you have the same motherboard? [07:53] Where does Ubuntu store LSO's? [07:53] pepee: its a different model I have the correct bios already for it [07:53] Thats some crazy type of bios upgrade. [07:53] Christopher, LSOs? [07:53] Christopher: /home/chris/.macromedia ? [07:54] Betterprivacy add-on for Firefox does not know wher eto look [07:54] I'll try that [07:54] WebDawg: yeah I know this whole thing has been a PITA HTPC with 250G hard drive is NO BUENO so I gota 1tb drive and it is being detected on boot up but it just hangs there doesn't even boot to Ubuntu [07:54] There is no .macromedia folder [07:55] WebDawg: I just need some one to do the merge thingy bob I I can take it from there [07:55] Flomaster, merge what? [07:55] Christopher: You don't have Flash installed? [07:55] Nope [07:55] Don't need it for anything really [07:55] I have SWF flash tho [07:55] Christopher: LSO is flash cookies, basically. [07:55] Flomaster, I thought you said you had the bios. [07:55] is there a tool to broadcast what I am listening to on rhythmbox? [07:56] If I don't have any type of Adobe flash then I do not have to worry? [07:56] hi all, Im trying to get to work my mighty mouse after suspend. The problem seems to be with the kernel module that dont load properly. Has anyone more info about this? [07:56] Flomaster, trying to download the bios I get: [07:56] Nothing. [07:56] Christopher: Pretty much. Yes. [07:56] Does SWFlash leave LSOs behind? [07:56] Christopher: No need for Privacy...addon if you're not going to install Flash. [07:57] Nice! I'll just stick to SWF flash then since apparently it is LSO safe [07:57] Christopher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object :) [07:57] maco:no pulseaudio doen see my emu [07:57] Flomaster, well, that's kinda dangerous.... [07:58] Flomaster, but if you wanna try, you can find some windows bootable USB images... [07:58] pepee: its the ONLY way I can use my 1TB drive right now my Bios is 2 revisions behind [07:58] how to know my bios version? [07:58] Slart: Thank you very much for your help. [07:58] Flomaster, that's BIOS modding ~ ya like pepee said it is dangerous~ it can make you pc no longer boot [07:58] from here inside ubuntu?

Cannot stream C-Span video. Any help? [08:05] sonicsmasher, you can remove unused services, that will free some memory [08:06] like blue tooth is removed...

[08:13] even though I'm an opensuse, SuSE user, and used to work with debian/ubuntu for a long time [08:13] maco: this is now a holy onther situation:) [08:13] heh, maybe I should just go install this breezy on here.. I do'nt care for 10.xx LTS way too slwo [08:13] slow* [08:13] hello people [08:14] clint-, maybe your system needs some upgrading ;) [08:14] can someone explain to me how i get my lucid lynx install to create /proc/driver/cciss/* ? [08:14] I gave this system to this mexican family [08:14] if I have one box, with two nic cards and apache2 running, how do i configure apache to listen on both ip's? [08:14] dell dimension 4100 ram 512 max supported on the board [08:14] so i have a laptop that has a switchable graphics card, and ubuntu runs the nvidia card all the time, and i cant turn it off, i just want to run the intel card [08:14] 40GB hd i put in it for them [08:15] clint-: you have a support-question? [08:15] they had this gateway 64mb running win 98 [08:15] well I was thinking, breezy is blazing on it, [08:15] but I wonder if its still supported [08:15] on a fresh install of 10.04, i used synaptic package manager to install linux-rt 2.6.31-10-153 (of course i have to do a restart but the update manager has linux 2.6.32-22 will there be an option as to wich kernal i will be booting/loggin in with OR do i untic the 2.6.32-22 generic so as to not update to the new kernal? [08:15] clint-, try another distro [08:15] maco:tnx anyway:) [08:15] 10.04 LTs whatever, I don't like it. too slow [08:15] clint-: please stop using enter so much and beeing off-topic. thanks [08:15] this 1 here is working fast though [08:15] clint-, there are a couple debian-based light distros...

[08:15] clint-, or try lubuntu/xubuntu [08:16] yeah I know [08:16] breezy is working nice on it though, [08:16] hey guys......if I have one box, with two nic cards and apache2 running, how do i configure apache to listen on both ip's? [08:16] just wondering if still supported, even though 6.06 LTS wasn't too bad as well [08:16] om26er, its a laptop, and the nvidia is part of the motherboard... yes i know it doesnt make sense, but it really is [08:17] qwiksilver711, so your laptop have both intel and nvidia graphics ? [08:17] yeah [08:17] and in windows you can just switch them [08:17] with fn f6 [08:17] clint-, IIRC LTS support begins when the last LTS has ended, but I'm not sure [08:17] !lts [08:17] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [08:18] in 10.04 suspend is not working - anyone know how to fix this [08:18] qwiksilver711, can you give the make/model of the laptop [08:18] alienware m11x [08:18] yudi1, its a laptop?

[08:28] Adem, install that package [08:28] Yesterday I bought a 4-GB thumb drive. GParted shows a bug with it (see Launchpad #545911, #558431). '~$ badblocks -vsw /dev/sdb1' revealed no bad blocks.

I want ubuntu not to store a single bit neither in temp nor permanent form of what I do in guest session. [08:35] ok let me try pepee [08:35] tnks u [08:35] Zela: sudo usermod -l oldname newname [08:35] err [08:36] Zela: sudo usermod -l newname oldname [08:36] Sorry ^_^ [08:36] How to disable wireless, I disable - comes back after reboot.

[08:37] pepee: i got p7z full [08:37] theadmin, yeah, it works, BUT paths will change... [08:37] evening all, I have just setup lucid on a acer power 2000, and the video will not resume after suspend. I have tried updating drivers (ubuntu-x-swat ppa) and also the new kernel from proposed but none of it has helped sofar [08:37] theadmin, config files will not change magically... [08:38] video is Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL using the i915 driver according to lspci [08:38] hmm anyone know how to access powermanagement from openbox? [08:38] pepee: Paths will NOT change, that is the point :/ [08:38] pepee: Home folder remains the same, there are no other user-specific paths [08:38] pepee: i got p7z full [08:38] Adem, I can read, please don't repeat [08:38] sorry [08:38] Adem, install ark [08:39] and why dont the above users have +x?? i can see their ips [08:39] so does anyone know how i change my user name?

[08:39] Can anyone here make sure that "usermod -l newname oldname" command is same, like who tried it? [08:39] Yesterday I bought a 4-GB thumb drive. GParted shows a bug with it (see Launchpad #545911, #558431). '~$ badblocks -vsw /dev/sdb1' revealed no bad blocks. What tool should I use to partition this thumb drive so that I can use part of it for file exchange between Windows and Ubuntu? [08:39] Zela, I think you can find such option in the system config [08:40] what? [08:40] just to change my name when i log on [08:40] ? [08:40] Zela, did you read what I wrote to theadmin ? [08:40] no [08:40] Zela, do it... [08:40] do what [08:40] Zela: sudo usermod -l NEWNAME OLDNAME [08:40] read what I wrote to theadmin [08:40] Zela: sudo usermod -l newname oldname [08:41] nhoting [08:41] with it mess stuff up [08:41] qwiksilver711, just double click and install. [08:41] ohh lol, what a good support channel... [08:41] :) [08:41] oh ok [08:41] Hello? [08:41] sorry om26er for the fact i'm stupid [08:41] Gryllida: Yes? [08:41] In links2, miscellaneous, I set bgcolor to ffffff, hit save options, restarted it, the preference seems to have saved but webpages still have grey background yet, what can I do? [08:41] !hello | Gryllida [08:42] Gryllida: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [08:42] Thanks :) [08:42] qwiksilver711, na you are not stupid. :) [08:42] Gryllida: ffffff is white, uhm... I guess that's what it is, then? [08:42] when I try to umount my mount /mnt/sdb1 I just get this error about the disc is active. I've tried both fuser and lsof in various versions. but I can't get any reponse on them. what could cause this? [08:42] om26er, ok, we'll settle with just a bit slow [08:42] Zela, I think you can't do it without losing your configs... [08:43] .. [08:43] ok [08:43] theadmin: the BGcolor of webpages still shows up as grey now, seems to be like the e0e0e0 that was there by default. [08:43] pepee: Ugh. You have no idea what you are talking about, do you? Let me test it out [08:43] Zela, if you don't care, do what theadmin said [08:43] ... [08:43] anyone? [08:43] i care [08:44] nobody really cares about SAS here huh? :) [08:44] What is a program like Skype for Ubuntu? [08:44] wine [08:45] does ubuntu save temp and/or permenantly information or sys log or something like that about what I do in guest sesstion? I want ubuntu not to store a single bit neither in temp nor permanent form of what I do in guest session. [08:45] and skype [08:45] Christopher: there are a skype version for ubuntu? [08:45] You could try Skype... [08:45] f01kert, SAS? [08:45] serial attached scsi [08:45] are you guys sure that is it [08:45] as in, the cciss drivers [08:45] Yes, there is a Skype version [08:45] then why don't use it? [08:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype [08:45] ?? [08:45] Christopher, try pidgin, empathy (or telepathy, I don't remember...) [08:46] I don't think Empathy has video abilities [08:46] chrijon, it does [08:46] Christopher: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ [08:46] err Christopher ^^ [08:46] but for some protocols only [08:46] Okay, I've set bgcolor to ffffff in links2, the pref saved, but the webpages still have it grey (as it was by default). How to fix? [08:46] such as google talk [08:47] theadmin ^ [08:47] don't know what protocol uses gtalk [08:47] pepee: It works. Only problem is that I lost my profile pic, but that's no big deal. And gtalk is XMPP. [08:47] The Skype protocol is closed, so there are no open source software available to communicate with other skype users [08:47] theadmin, it works? [08:47] LOL [08:47] I told you. [08:47] pepee: Yeah, just changed my username this way, all configs are there. [08:48] peepee: it's XCPP or something, Pidgin supports it, maybe google talk app is available for linux too; doubt that google accepts connections to its server from apps different from his own [08:48] theadmin, did your /home/ path change? [08:48] pepee: No, it did not, because I did not supply a -dm NEWHOMEPATH option at all. [08:48] Gryllida, use tab to autocomplete nicks [08:48] pepee: So it works. [08:49] pepee, oops ok, hope you got my answer anyway [08:49] i use empathy for gtalk, it works fine (offline messages too) but I have yet to test the video features (if any) on that protocol [08:49] Who here needed help with changing username? [08:49] theadmin, oh ok, try some other apps [08:49] theadmin, Zela [08:49] pepee: Trying those I commonly use, every single one works exactly like it did before [08:50] Christopher: You are wrong. [08:50] You're wrong... because? [08:50] Gryllida, I did my research ;) [08:50] Zela, you can do what theadmin said [08:50] Yesterday I bought a 4-GB thumb drive. GParted shows a bug with it (see Launchpad #545911, #558431). '~$ badblocks -vsw /dev/sdb1' revealed no bad blocks. What tool should I use to partition this thumb drive so that I can use part of it for file exchange between Windows and Ubuntu? [08:50] Zela: Okay, this works but requires a bit of twinkling. First, power down your computer and boot into recovery mode. From there on, choose "root drop to root shell", and type something in the likes of this: "usermod -l newname oldname" [08:51] Zela, but you may have some problems... [08:51] It won't let you do it when you're logged in XD [08:51] bullgard, gnome-disk-utility is better IMO [08:51] theadmin, LOL? [08:51] Can software update screw up Grub settings? I have a brother in Afghanistan who can't boot Windows after running a regular software update. [08:51] pepee: Uhm, well, I find it funny that you can not do something in Linux, just ridiculous [08:51] theadmin, you don't know how to get root from console, but you give such advices? [08:52] pepee: How to get root? sudo -i, but you will still be logged in this way as well. [08:52] (Ubuntu's software update) [08:52] sudo su... [08:52] then reboot [08:52] that's all [08:52] pepee: ...sigh, guess you were taught by some anti-Ubunters. If someone was here, he'd tell you why "sudo su" is insane. I know it messes configs up, trust me. [08:52] any way to improve my usb modem speed ? [08:53] how do I stop empathy from scrolling to the end when I am lookin at old messages [08:53] om26er: I will give it a try. [08:53] jekor`: Is the Windows part not showing up anymore in the bootlist? Or is it showing but improperly booting? [08:53] theadmin, I learn by myself... [08:53] hmm.. on lucid, skype seems to have blank white tooltips, while everything else has white text on black tooltips. is this a kde vs gnome thing? [08:53] what's wrong with 'sudo su'? [08:54] Hi, I'm completely new to ubuntu/linux everything non-Windows, and I need some help figuring stuff out [08:54] I know how to use my computer, bash and linux [08:54] pepee: sudo -i (similar to sudo su - , gives you roots environment configuration) [08:54] ubuntu apparently doesn't know what to do with x.D. card readers, and I'm trying to make sense of the documentation [08:54] jekor`: There are also some GUI interfaces in the repos that can automatically rebuild the grub bootlist, and let you see it, if Windows does not show up, one of the config files is either marked non-executable or is improperly set [08:55] red2kic, and the differences are... ? [08:55] apparently this is relevant: http://alauda.sourceforge.net/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage but I'm completely clueless about what to do next [08:55] help? [08:55] !root | pepee [08:55] pepee: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:55] Okay, I've set background color to ffffff in the links2 text browser, this preference saved, but the webpages still have it grey (as it was by default, e0e0e0). How to fix? [08:55] Exavion: Thanks. [08:55] quit [08:56] exit [08:56] hi [08:56] get a / at beginning [08:56] every one [08:56] pepee: If you use "sudo su", it will mess up permissions on some files, from what I know. I just know it's bad and that's enough for me lol [08:56] thanks [08:56] kris_: /quit [08:56] yay [08:56] kris_: Try "/quit" [08:56] thanks Gryllida [08:56] which channel is for kernel? [08:56] /away I'm quitting! [08:56] theadmin, I know how to manage permissions... [08:56] in my firefox java didn't work. what can i do? [08:56] can anyone suggest a fan speed config package? I'd prefer a GUI but CL is fine [08:56] I know it can be dangerous too [08:56] pepee: when you use sudo su you often will be sitting a little while to chown fils/folders and so on. for instance, you can't start munin with sudo. that will make the whole thing go bananas [08:56] java is installed [08:57] ok, now that I'm here, let me ask a question before I quit. [08:57] JoMs, what's munin? [08:57] I recently uninstalled GDM to try out XDM [08:57] pepee: monitoring system [08:58] pepee: please dont say you know how to handle something if using sudo su. come back and tell us you know how to do something if you are using sudo -i [08:58] pepee: a program that makes graphs from your e.g. server. it shows CPU usage, disc-usage, network and a lot more [08:58] can anyone help me install whatever i need to install to get ubuntu to read/write x.D. cards? (maybe this is relevant http://alauda.sourceforge.net/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage) [08:58] JoMs, like top? [08:58] in my firefox java didn't work. what can i do? [08:58] pepee: http://munin-monitoring.org/ [08:58] a bit better than top I'd say [08:59] rethus: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [08:59] like htop? [08:59] I recently uninstalled GDM to try out XDM [08:59] rethus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76702 [08:59] but I didnt like it, and reverted back to GDM [08:59] kris_, please, don't repeat [08:59] pepee: never tried [08:59] guess no one can/will [08:59] and now, when i start the computer, the mouse pointer doesnt show [08:59] adios all, sorry for wasting your time [09:00] Headbomb|Laptop: look for hardware drivers or something [09:00] bhah [09:00] JoMs, obviously, killing some processes having root is crazy... [09:00] iceroot, what? [09:00] pepee: sudo su is bad [09:00] pepee: been there, done that. wasn't wery smart of me [09:00] Sorry, got lagged out [09:00] pepee: sudo -i is good [09:00] har to reboot the whole server [09:00] iceroot, for you [09:00] had* === theadmin1 is now known as theadmin [09:01] any help ? [09:01] iceroot, I don't care [09:01] * waldy has reverted back to Karmic Koala, as 10.04 appears to be an unstable mistake that requires a bit of a revisit. Gnome is quite unstable in 10.04, and while there -are- workarounds - at the end of the day, ppl want an OS that works (even if it is for free :P) [09:01] pepee: no, sudo su is setting the environment not correctly [09:01] pepee: but i care if someone here is saying untrue things to others [09:01] I've got ASUS A6F laptop (A6000 series) and it has a function called "Wireless Console", which lets me turn WiFI and Bluetooth on/off by pressing Fn+F2. On Windows, when I press Fn+F2, a window is displayed and I can choose which wireless devices to turn on, but on Ubuntu nothing happens. Help please [09:01] iceroot, sudo su is like... being root/superuser?

You don't know stuff and start complaining. [09:04] ok, so? [09:04] Hi. I'm on 8.04 LTS. I have a dhclient-exit hook, which fails, because udev starts the dhclient, which calls the hook before I have a writable local fs. How can I wait for the udev event inside my dhclient exit hook?

Can anyone remember what network management utility does KDE use? [09:06] let me ask this once more: I recently uninstalled and reinstalled gdm. Since then, my mouse pointer doesn't show up in the gdm at the start. It takes some time, and some amount of moving the mouse for the pointer to show up; even then it's not the usual pointer, but a 'x' one (I don't really care about that, if it shows up at the beginning). Any help to correct this would be appreciated. [09:06] NetworkManager is there [09:06] hey guys i just upgraded the machine and i get a message saying "the following packages have been kept back" ; why are they not upgraded?

I've tried both fuser and lsof in various versions. but I can't get any reponse on them. what could cause this? [09:07] it's still unclear to me. is it GNOME or is it now Gnome?

[09:18] Hi! [09:18] i was just wondering how i can expand the swap partition after the installation is completed?

[09:19] pepee: I need to umount it tho [09:19] Joshua_Roberts: sudo umount /mnt/path ? [09:19] Err, JoMs ^ [09:19] i'll try [09:19] Daniel-: Just resize it with some partitioning tool, e.g. gparted [09:19] red2kic: that's when I get my error :P [09:19] device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) [09:19] theadmin: ok [09:20] and lsof and fuser don't give me any answer [09:20] theadmin: rezise is geyed out :( [09:20] JoMs: Can you reboot the machine and see if it works from there? [09:20] Daniel-: Disable swap first... what is the partition adress (e.g. /dev/sda2) [09:21] theadmin: it's a server so I don't want to reboot it. I know it would work but I'll do as much as I can before rebooting [09:21] theadmin: there is a "lock" on all the partitions [09:21] JoMs: Oh, I see. [09:21] JoMs, dbus may be using (or whatever it does with) that disk... [09:21] Daniel-: That's obvious, they are mounted [09:21] JoMs: "-l --> Lazy unmount.

"sudo umount -l /path/lol" [09:22] okey, Ill give it a try [09:22] worked! thanks red2kic :D [09:23] JoMs: I'm assuming nautilis is holding it (if you have some windows open in that directory) [09:23] JoMs: No problem. :) [09:24] red2kic: it could be, if that means an user stands inside the mount looking at e.g filess?

[09:26] hello. Which application can I use to add words in a mid/kar file? [09:26] some help pls? [09:26] zubin71: "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" [09:26] red2kic, just curious, is there a reason packages are kept back? [09:27] zubin71: They're held back because the new updates requires additional new packages (rather than updating the packages alone). This is a safety measure to ensure you're aware of what's happening. [09:27] zubin71: because they're not compatible with the kernel you updated to? I think they are mostly drivers, no? [09:27] guys, i'm using ubuntu 10 and i accidentally removed the sound tray icon from the panel. Right-click panel and "Add to Panel" doesn't show that sound option. How can i put it back? [09:27] encoder, it's 'activity applet' panel [09:27] encoder: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=392387 [09:27] encoder, it's 'activity applet', add it as 'add to panel' thing, right [09:27] red2kic, um, so there is a risk for crashing, something like that? [09:28] Gryllida, new kernel versions actually [09:28] Gryllida, so i guess driver updates maybe? [09:28] red2kic, ill try anyway np :) [09:28] Why do I sometimes not get the desktop or panel after logging in? [09:28] zubin71: Uh. That's always possible, but not likely. [09:28] ok... thanks, red2kic Gryllida !

[10:01] "man man" is not really an ebook for newcomers [10:01] Hi [10:01] Tobias92, I think you don't need ndiswraper in lucid for that wifi device [10:01] AdamBaylin, you asked: [10:01] i just want to know does any of you guys know a ebook about ubuntu and stuff. [10:01] Can someone help me to send files from a ubuntu 9.04 computer to a windows vista computer, using LAN? [10:01] AdamBaylin, check http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [10:02] well, that's what I can tell you: use the 'man' command [10:02] thanks. [10:02] AdamBaylin, the best ebook for ubuntu is find something you wish to do then google it [10:02] Timon3, you mean to access to shared folders? [10:02] see if it's possible :) [10:03] Type-O: good luck with that approach... :) [10:03] cfdisk shows 2 partition names: »sdb1p1« and »sdb2p5«.

[10:04] How big is the CD download? [10:04] geekbuntu, passworded?

[10:16] Timon3, ? use whatever file manager you have [10:16] Bluh: boot to livecd and fsck the partition. You may also want to grab the ultimate boot cd and use the manufacturers tools to check it [10:16] So now that ATI dosen't support either my laptop's ot desktop's card anymore in the xorg or fsck or whatever it is that ubuntu 10.04 uses (im new to ubuntu) does that mean pretty much all hope is lost or is there anything that can be done to make them work on the newer distros? [10:16] geekphreak, try in nautilus s.th. like smb://ip-adress/share [10:16] mtx_init: I apologized. You're not being silly. You're being ridiculous. Better?

Now if you go up a level you can drag the folder to the left panel and it will appear in the places menu [10:25] ActionParsnip and sunta thank you [10:26] ActionParsnip: yup and i can get all my files there [10:26] i just uninstalled compiz and now i have no max/min window buttons on anything. [10:26] sunta:its taking lot of time to download. [10:26] how can i fix this [10:26] geekphreak: yeah the whole network thing never works here so I use manual method like that. Much easier [10:26] !ask | phawx [10:26] phawx: 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. :-) [10:26] coolstacy, damn AOL surfer [10:26] pepee, http://pastebin.com/817DppMJ [10:26] hayfever: I read you. I don't know what I can say to that. Looks like a bug if you already have enabled it as executeable. [10:26] sorry, didn't see you already asked... [10:26] Phawx: the thing you are missing is the window decorator [10:27] phawx: i'd ask in #compiz [10:27] phawx, sorry, didn't see you already asked... [10:27] sunta : iam using mozilla. === root is now known as Guest16785 [10:27] ok so how do I change default webpage background in links2?

I deleted them now === Guest16785 is now known as dotnetted [10:27] coolstacy, just kiddin;) it wil work anyway when your download is finished [10:27] red2kic, I was afraid of that. But I'll keep looking by myself. [10:28] Tobias92, does eth0 have wireless extensions? [10:28] Tobias92: as long as they all end in .conf it will be fine :) [10:28] red2kic, thank you for your help though.

SMART tells me I have a few bad sectors, the benchmark doesn't work because it fails less than halfway through. Is there anything I can do to see what the problem is until I buy a new drive on Friday? [10:34] Speakers: my way is the easiest [10:34] but yes, xkill is very useful [10:35] Speakers: with the others you have to know the number of the process [10:35] Speakers, always add the force kill applet to panel, its very useful [10:35] wprked [10:35] Tobias92, are you there? [10:35] it was an alarm problem [10:35] Speakers: or you could like, killlall firefox for example, but for your program you must have the exact name of the proccess or killlall won't work [10:35] ytaews: grab the ultimate boot cd and check the drive using the manufacturers tool [10:35] Kalarm wouldn't go away [10:35] pepee, yes, did I miss something?

I only have one CD drive so how would I create an ultimate boot cd? [10:37] oliver_: no not so good for those, as far as I know, but you can Wine a load of Windows games [10:37] Tobias92, try installing wicd [10:37] oliver_: also check: http://www.playdeb.net [10:38] Tobias92, networkManager may interfere with wicd... [10:38] ActionParsnip, already did that. no result [10:38] ytaews: not sure how cd burning works in live environment. May take another pc if its not possible [10:38] pepee, are you sure that can help when iwlist scanning gives no networks, too? [10:38] thank you , i will to playdeb.net [10:38] ActionParsnip: Good point, I didn't think of that. I'll go burn it on my brother's laptop, cheers. [10:39] Tobias92, if iwlist doesn't lisst networks, then you are right [10:39] is a problem with the card/drivers... [10:39] pepee, on a brand new laptop, too :( [10:39] well, i found it, thanks [10:39] which I bought beause it came with ubuntu, of all reasons :) [10:39] tobias, less /var/log/syslog, then press F (uppercase) [10:39] try searching for som strange message [10:40] sunta: its just 50% now ,should i wait or kill.

[10:42] abhinav_singh, what language? [10:42] !manual | abhinav_singh [10:42] abhinav_singh: 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/ [10:42] English [10:42] abhinav_singh: Ubuntu Pocket Guide [10:42] Tobias92, yeah, try 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' a couple times again [10:42] * om26er thinks there is no need for a book [10:43] abhinav_singh: just use the OS. It will teach you a lot more than any document or book can show you [10:43] * pepee learned "the hard way"... [10:43] sebsebseb: is is available in pdf format? [10:43] om26er: +1 dude [10:43] ActionParsnip: both are [10:43] abhinav_singh: both are [10:44] om26er: there is for some people, since they won't just well learn, by using the software [10:44] pepee, if you suspect that triggers the message, apparently it does not [10:44] I am new to linux...i know most of the commands....i want to learn more commands from starting level to advanced level [10:44] !commands | abhinav_singh [10:44] abhinav_singh: 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 [10:44] abhinav_singh: its like these admins who do a lot of courses but are rubbish when it comes to real life systems. Books only show you so much. Using the system will teach you more and will teach you better [10:44] sunta: download complete,but it is just showing a blue screen with amarok logo. [10:44] Tobias92, you can see more of those messages? [10:45] Tobias92, press F again [10:45] pepee, none of those on the bottom of the log [10:45] coolstacy, lemme install it quick. [10:45] coolstacy, should display more then its logo [10:46] sunta: i am unable to rid of the screen. [10:46] Tobias92, I've never seen somthing like this before... [10:46] coolstacy open console and killall -9 amarok [10:47] the module isn't something new, so it must be working fine [10:47] Hi all [10:47] anybody know where the heck are the background pictures stored? I checked all the hidden folders under my /home directory but no luck! [10:47] thanks [10:47] /usr/share/backgrounds [10:47] pepee, on the forums somebody complained that it broke down when upgrading to lucid from karmic. So I tried booting into karmic, but no luck there either [10:48] Tobias92, install this packages and reboot: linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-23-generic [10:48] remanifest, /usr? weird location [10:48] coolstacy, are you sure its only displaying the logo? upon 1st start I get the logo and a configure screen [10:48] KWallet its called [10:48] sunta: ya ,the screen went off,now i have got screen KDE wallet service. [10:48] remanifest, ok thanks, I was thinking to be more logical under the home user directory, but anyways [10:49] EmilioTucci: Not really... been that way since I remember (10 years or so)... but you can also store your own backgrounds in ~/ if you like [10:49] pepee, on it now [10:49] k [10:49] coolstacy, go through that wallet thing [10:49] remanifest, this is the first time I try UBuntu.. [10:49] sunta : it has 2 opt basic setup and advance, should i continue. [10:50] coolstacy, i dont know about kwallet. i chose advanced and ->ok->ok->ok [10:50] EmilioTucci: if you are changing your wallpaper you can click the add button and use one from anywhere you like. You don't need to put the image(s) in the backgrounds folder by any means [10:50] just disable kwallet... [10:50] EmilioTucci: Ahh ok, /usr/share is just a place where a lot of "common files" are stored. They can be accessed by all user accounts. Makes sense for when you want all users to have access to a file. [10:50] ActionParsnip, remanifest thanks guys [10:51] kwallet is annoying [10:51] np bro [10:51] EmilioTucci: nautilus-wallpaper is nice extension. [10:51] EmilioTucci: here to help :D [10:51] Anyone here familiar with Evolution? I'm trying to get it to respect Chromium as the browser [10:51] red2kic: assuming nautilus is used... [10:51] ActionParsnip: Yes. And it's his first time using Ubuntu. :P [10:52] remanifest: is it set as the default browser in preferences of the OS [10:52] pepee, done [10:52] sunta: i selected basic opt and now it say "yes,i wish to use KDE wallet to store my personal information" should i go with this or back and select advance setup. [10:52] red2kic: might be using kubuntu or xubuntu :P [10:52] coolstacy, stay with that [10:52] ActionParsnip: As far as I know - I'm using Lubuntu [10:52] coolstacy, its nothing evil, just KDE;) [10:52] Tobias92, did it work? [10:52] I just ended hating KDE [10:53] Reanifest: let me seach. Lubuntu is awesome :) [10:53] pepee, afraid not [10:53] pepee, just? im over it 10yrs [10:53] it's becoming annoying by itself [10:53] I don't like kwallet, I don't like dolphin, I don't like the way some things are managed [10:53] ActionParsnip: Yeah, it's great - all the goodness of openbox plus a bunch of practical utils for functionality. It's awesome on my netbook :) [10:54] some friends says is worst for kubuntu [10:54] remanifest: join the mailing list and you can hl [10:54] Hello, how to install skype ? [10:54] Help shape it [10:54] Tobias92, well, no idea, sorry :( [10:55] Smirnoff, go to skype homepage. it will offer .deb-package for ubuntu [10:55] tobias, cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit [10:55] pepee, thanks for your effort anyway. I'll try some more :) [10:55] Tobias92, ^^ [10:55] Tobias92, you can compile those modules by yourself... [10:55] ActionParsnip: Those days are about 8-10 years behind me nowadays... I contributed to Slackware back in the day, but now I'm really busy with school unfortunately [10:55] remanifest: could try: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/chromium-browser /usr/bin/firefox [10:56] Smirnoff, this might work too in a console: sudo apt-get install skype [10:56] remanifest: bit of a hack but should fly [10:56] it isn't easy... (at least for a noob user) [10:56] It wasn't for me, but it's funny to break your system and repair it LOL [10:56] ActionParsnip, I would use the alternatives system to do this -- that way it is easy to revert and list alternatives. [10:57] you can't do that with windows [10:57] Unop: given but I'm not sure of the syntax and I know it'll work as all apps assume people use crappy firefox [10:58] sunta: no, its not working its not reading my songs. [10:58] man ubuntu is nice now [10:58] damn my ubuntu postfix mail server power supply unit blew up +.+ last night while i was sending mail out. email didn't get through... [10:59] coolstacy, ofcourse you need to add music to the amarok library. im sure you find your war [10:59] way [10:59] Alex87: linux as a whole generally is [10:59] नमसते [10:59] hello! how do I check the paritions and the sizes of my system through the terminal? [10:59] Gordon_Gekko, df [11:00] !in | indus [11:00] indus: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [11:00] df -h [11:00] ActionParsnip, yeah, but you know how much of a pain it can be. skype and pulse audio just worked for me then! [11:00] sunta: what is this, be simple on this. [11:00] -h stands for human XD [11:00] Alex87: I don't use skype so couldn't comment there [11:00] Gordon_Gekko, in terminal [11:00] ActionParsnip: lol, that was a sneaky little trick, and it worked well. Had to move firefox to firefox-browser before the symbolic link would take, but now it's working great. Thanks! [11:00] yes human [11:00] "VPN start failed" [11:00] Gordon_Gekko fdisk -l [11:00] remanifest: no worries dude :D [11:00] ActionParsnip, well you can imagine. just saying, ubuntu has gotten a lot of things to work very well [11:00] thank you all for your answers! [11:01] DF -H AND DF -h show slightly different zulgaban [11:01] pepee, that room is empty [11:01] pepee, i prefer here [11:02] oh sorry [11:02] ok [11:02] sunta: when i click on update collection it does not do anything. [11:02] pepee, you from india is it [11:02] What is the easiest way for me to backup my important files in Ubuntu? Mostly the ones in my home folder. [11:02] indus, nope [11:02] one thing i dont like about 10.04 liveCD is there is no option to try, install or boot from 1st harddisk before the cd boot into live session.. got to wait for cd the to fully bot, choose try and restart from live session.. not a big deal, but its such a pain in the a$$ for me.. just my 2cents.. [11:02] dfChristopher prolly a usb drive [11:02] hola buenas [11:02] pepee, hmm how did you know then what i typed :) [11:03] hotfloppy: Were you using Unetbootin? [11:03] Hotfloppy: press spacebar when the first boot screen shows (with the stick man) [11:03] I just guessed you are [11:03] gonna sleep, bye ppl [11:03] remanifest: nope, just the usual liveCD.. [11:04] Hotfloppy: its there, its just hiding [11:04] ActionParsnip: you mean on the GUI menu ? or on POST ? [11:04] Hotfloppy: when you see the greyish screen with the keyboard/stickman at the bottom, press spaceba [11:04] ActionParsnip: oic.. understood.. === om26er_ is now known as om26er [11:04] ActionParsnip: its on the dot dot loading thing eh ? [11:05] hotfloppy: I think before that. It also allows you to check the cd for defectas [11:05] sunta: r u there. [11:05] coolstacy, see query window [11:05] is there a wordpad like app for ubuntu? im looking for something with formating, so a bit better than gedit, but lighter than open office word processor [11:06] ActionParsnip: and the menu like old version will be shown ? [11:06] jjjjjj [11:06] hotfloppy: exactly :D [11:06] sunta; what may be the problem. [11:07] cant believe there is no good gui backup tool in linux [11:07] MACscr you could just use wordpad with wine [11:07] Indus: why do you need a gui [11:07] vu1kan: i dont think such a hackish method is needed [11:07] i hate command line, [11:07] Thank you all for your help :) [11:07] i like visual tools [11:07] alguien me puede decir un programa de facturacion para ubuntu 10.4 [11:08] bye [11:08] bye [11:08] I can't believe there's no good gui backup too either.

The backup will be fine [11:10] indus: you haven't looked very hard. Open synaptic, search for 'backup' [11:10] zcat[1], ok [11:10] indus, hehe I know!! thank you again! [11:10] bye :) [11:11] Indus: there's grsync which will give the command which you can put in a script, then use gnome-schedule to run that script [11:11] hi, I cannot connect to internet neither wired nor wireless, I don't know where to start, please help [11:11] indus: GUI? "sbackup" [11:11] How do you check the md5sum of a disk? [11:11] sbackup hmm [11:11] Clarezoe: if you run: ping 8.8.8.8 ,do you get replys?

I got Network is unreachable [11:12] Ty [11:12] Indus: I suggest you learn and use cli. It runs circles around gui nonesense [11:12] Clarezoe: ok are you using wired or wireless? [11:12] ActionParsnip, i know , i know a few commands but iam not a sys admin [11:12] sunta: ya, know the song is playing but no sound. [11:13] ActionParsnip, I'm using wired, but seems my wireless is on but I cannot turn it off. [11:13] ActionParsnip: I suggest you learn what GUI tools are available in Ubuntu, most new users have a strange fear of the command line and will simply go back to what they're familiar with if you tell them they must use the CLI [11:13] Indus: so aren't many others but simple scripts and loops can make duplicated tasks happen while you webbrowse [11:13] coolstacy, you need to configure the sound device, though I cannot really help on this [11:13] ActionParsnip, tell me some 5 cool scripts you use for everyday use [11:14] btw. I have solved auth_ldap on apache2.2 myselves [11:14] zcat[1]: I'm trying to educate as command line can give huge power.

[12:34] vu1kan: easiest would be to just drag and drop from the firefox address bar [12:34] tried that, it just springs back to the addy bar [12:34] vu1kan: you might also use the gnome-open executable.. [12:34] firefox 'web site to go to' as an executable also.. may work [12:35] so i guess the root of the problem is, how can i fix this: pulseaudio[#]: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.

[12:38] Hey guys [12:38] it is just those three [12:38] and all of the pulseaudio errors [12:38] Anyone know how to properly disable journaling on ext4 filesystems? [12:38] like iflema said [12:38] IdleOne, thx. that might work better, i want a link that opens in epiphany for a flash-based radio station [12:38] im getting 30 pulseaudio erros a second [12:38] ceno: when you format it to be ext4. it should make/enable the journal. [12:38] vu1kan: you can also create a launcher for gnome-open http://someurl/with/extra_stuff it should open in the default browser [12:39] ceno: if you disable the journal.. well.. Not sure thats possible. [12:39] ceno: that would basically be ext3 + some features.. which may not be doable IF it was allready formated as ext4 [12:40] ceno disable journal , means ext2fs [12:40] Dr_Willis: howdy [12:40] To put it in perspective, I just deleted syslog a minute ago and it is now 250mb and growing with pulseaudio errors [12:40] Moo to geekphreak [12:41] mooo [12:41] Dr_Willis, I *think* it's possible, I think I saw a tutorial on a blog once, but I honestly don't remember. I think journaling is ruining performance on my system and I'd like to test it O_o [12:41] ceno: what are you trying to do/ [12:41] kuttan_, you're saying that ext4 without journaling is ext2? that's... not really the case [12:41] ceno: chances are its not journaling [12:42] inveratulo, could be, there's only way to find out [12:42] geekbuntu, disable journaling on ext4 [12:42] Slart, Dr_Willis, IdleOne, thx, got the custom launcher to do what i want [12:42] ceno: i dont think that would be the case. I do recall reading on the wiki page for ext4 that ext4 is 'partially' backwards compatiable with ext3/2 there are features that you may be using in ext4 that would make it impossible for you to 'downgrade' it to ext2/3 [12:42] vu1kan: glad to hear it [12:43] ceno : well theoretically its not the case , but essentially it amounts to that.. [12:43] howdy IdleOne , long time [12:43] hello geekphreak [12:43] ceno , have you tried flags like norelatime in fstab [12:44] arvind_k: sir hello [12:44] careiro: whenever you are ready......lol I am at a loss and standing by [12:44] kuttan_, yeah, I already have a set of tweaks I learned about to improve performance on my netbook [12:44] carneiro: whenever you are ready......lol I am at a loss and standing by [12:45] does anyone know about awn [12:45] how to add a custom appl launcher to it [12:45] Dr_Willis, ok, I'll keep digging for information [12:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9402394 [12:46] these two people seem to have the same problem [12:48] now, my next annoyance: is it possible to customize the resolutions you can scroll through using ctrl+alt+(num+/-)? [12:49] vu1kan: ages ago it used to be.. but the use of those combo keys- is rather rarely used these days [12:50] Dr_Willis knuts...i'm just wanting to remove the display shortcut in my panel [12:50] vu1kan: I think those are the modelines defined in your xorg.conf.. if they aren't defined there xorg automatically generates them by talking to the graphics card and monitor.. you might be able to define the ones you want in your xorg.conf and hopefully only those will be enabled [12:50] but retain the ablity to swap res on the fly [12:50] vu1kan: how often are you really needing to change res? [12:51] Dr_Willis: three or four times a day...flash doesn't work in fullscreen since the update, so i use an inflated rez to emulate fullscreen on sites like megavideo [12:51] hi, are there any scripts in ubuntu's repository to automatically run iptables save/restore? [12:51] i have disabled the logoin sound from sys=admin=logins screen. but still it plays at each logoin. how to disable it? [12:52] Slart i'll try defining my desired modes and see if that does what i want [12:52] vu1kan: if you are using compiz there is a 'zoom' feature mouse wheel+windows key. [12:53] Dr_Willis...my video adapter's a Voodoo 3...old, old card, couldn't do compiz if you held a gun to it's head [12:53] vu1kan: egads.. im suprised flash even works on it :) that is ols. [12:54] Does anyone know how to get the LinuxMint theme on Ubuntu? [12:54] vu1kan: there are some dock applets for xrandr also thats lets you change res. Or you could make some hotkeys that use xrandr [12:54] 16mb o' vram, baby. better than my nVidia Vanta-8mb [12:54] theadmin: find the theme.. drag it your themes dir. (or the appearance tool and let it install it) [12:54] Dr_Willis: As if it were that simple, as for where to find it... :/ I have no idea what is the name, used Linux Mint a long while ago [12:55] ok guys, here is my issue, one ubuntu server with two nic cards, eth0 is internal with 192 ip, eth1 is external public ip....if both interfaces are up, I cannot hit the external ip, I must take down eth0 before I can hit eth1......anyone got any ideas? [12:55] theadmin: boot up a mint live cd.. check tgheir themes dir..

Bah! They use same ones as Ubuntu [12:56] theadmin: they have their own custome ones as well i recall. I seem to recall SOME app i used ages ago that did isntall the mint theme for me once... [12:57] theadmin: it Might of been gstyle, or epidermis [12:57] one of those grabbed a lot of differnt themes from 'somewhere' and let you install themn with a few clicks. [12:57] !find gstyle [12:57] File gstyle found in debian-installer, doc-linux-ja-html, dot2tex, extrema, gitg (and 11 others) [12:57] ...huh.

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [13:30] for network icon.... [13:30] unop, there's an actual user called guest that's used for that? I have a dir i want to be writable via the network but not world writable. [13:30] VCoolio, i remove gnome sound from startup aps. I hope it wll sove my probl. [13:30] abhi_nav: then delete or rename the sound in /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo, it's something with 'ready' in the name [13:30] Suresh: The network icon is part of the 'notification Area' panel applet [13:30] VCoolio, ok I wll try it later. [13:31] oh [13:31] got it [13:31] great! [13:31] s3r3n1t7, yes, there is a samba user called guest for compatibility with the windows/NT user by the same name -- why don't you require users logon before writing to the dir? [13:31] thanks kryptyk!!! [13:31] No worries, Suresh! [13:31] have a nice time! [13:32] ubuntu rocks!! [13:32] :-) [13:32] +v === Tim is now known as Glowball [13:33] unop, it's running virtualized on a private network. The software that's used from windows doesn't authenticate properly for *insert mystical reason here*, so i'm just trying to solve this another way. As the network is private between the VM's the security is not all that relevant. [13:33] is there a way to lock an entire panel to prevent changes to it?(beyond locking the individual applets to the panel) [13:34] This might be silly. But i have an account from a while back on the ubuntu forums but for some reason i cannot post threads or replies... have i not confirmed my details or something? [13:34] I signed up for this account a while back so i cannot remember what i did [13:34] Hello. In Lucid, is emacs honoring the xrdb database? It seems emacs is ignoring everying I put into .Xresources [13:34] s3r3n1t7, well then, for the share definition (possibly in your smb.conf) -- add ' guest ok = yes ' and ' read only = no ' [13:34] Having a strange sound/hardware issue. Lucid is not recognizing my USB headphones. Output of 'dmesg' shows that they are attached, as does 'lsusb' - however, no sound applets or settings recognize anything other than the built in sound card. [13:35] unop, thank you for the quick help [13:35] My Ubuntu 10.04 is having an extremely high load average (about 0.90 when doing completely nothing, except running top in a terminal (GNOME DE), right after boot plus a few minutes waiting to let it stabilize). I tried reinstalling it completely, but it didn't really help. [13:35] Setting "Emacs.fonts: Monospace-12" inside .Xresources seems to be ignored by emacs [13:36] s3r3n1t7, well worth bookmarking this - http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/ [13:37] how can i tell my ubuntu machine to use a specific DNS as opposed to whatever my ISP defaults to? [13:37] unop, nice find, didn't show for me earlier. Bookmarked [13:38] can you see your HD's MBR in gparted? [13:38] Morning all! Having a strange sound/hardware issue. Lucid is not recognizing my USB headphones. Output of 'dmesg' shows that they are attached, as does 'lsusb' - however, no sound applets or settings recognize anything other than the built in sound card. [13:39] hello, how to store/save the bandwidth usage per session? is there any utility that can provide this facility? [13:39] My Ubuntu 10.04 is having an extremely high load average (about 0.90 when doing completely nothing, except running top in a terminal (GNOME DE), right after boot plus a few minutes waiting to let it stabilize). I tried reinstalling it completely, but it didn't really help. Any other possibility than downgrading to Karmic? [13:40] suresh, see vnstat [13:40] how can i tell my ubuntu machine to use a specific DNS as opposed to whatever my ISP defaults to? [13:41] kryptyk, do have pulseaudio , there might be a setting there for peripheral / aux audio out [13:41] Jerusalem420, see /etc/resolv.conf [13:41] I am having problems with chromium on lucid. I used to run it with the vimium extension but that completely stopped working a few weeks ago. the current versions: chromium 6.0.446.0 (50564) Ubuntu 10.04 ; vimium 1.18. Anybody having similar problems? Thanks. [13:41] thanks sunta [13:42] hello subzero2000 and foxbuntu [13:42] kryptyk, in alsamixer make sure pcm is turned up and not muted [13:42] i am using a prepaid mobile broadband connection, my isp does not provide usage i need to keep track of it onwards [13:42] foxtrot: hello and welcome [13:42] using mail, how do i change the root email address? [13:42] BluesKaj - I completely removed PulseAudio immediately after installing the OS.. [13:42] suresh, see vnstat ! === USA_ALL_THE_WAY is now known as omgjoz [13:42] sunta: where can i find that? [13:42] BluesKaj, the problem is not that there is no sound - the audio system does not even recognize that the headphones are connected [13:42] suresh, sudo apt-get install vnstat [13:42] suresh, apt-cache show vnstat [13:42] Yet the OS sees them as being connected [13:43] ok [13:43] Hi, im installing ubuntu off an external USB cdrom, and it gets to the ubuntu with 5 red blinking dots under it, andthen after like 5-10 minutes all the dots go red and then thescreen flashesand goes black and stilll hasnt come back [13:43] anyonehaveanyideas [13:44] kryptyk, yeah unfortunately redirecting audio to a USB device is a known problem [13:45] BluesKaj - the strange thing is that they worked fine previously. Then one day - nothing. Strangely enough, the volume controls on the headset adjust the system volume. But the sound subsystem does not see them as an output device [13:45] foxtrot: use spaces properly, please, english is not japanese. As for that, LiveCD WILL take long to boot on old systems, and not only booting from CDrom is slow by itself, a USB CDrom is yet slower. [13:45] help i can't copy and paste file in my external USB, why is that? [13:45] mataks: Permissions? [13:46] theadmin: I am using a very small netbook and the spacebar doesnt always catch [13:46] theadmin, how to access it? i am root [13:46] theadmin: the cdrom isnt even spinning anymore though [13:46] Hey guys, I got a weird problem, I cannot right click on desktop :/ [13:46] how long shouldI give it? [13:46] its a Pentium M 1.4ghz w/ 1gb of RAM [13:46] foxtrot: Oh... did you verify the CD? It took about 7 minutes to boot here (Live session) or 3 minutes for just installer [13:47] its the Desktop Edition from ubuntu.com [13:47] foxtrot: And it's an ancient machine, so I guess something is wrong there. [13:47] mataks, root always bad but you should find your mount beneath /media/ [13:47] oh is ubuntu not useful on older hardware? [13:47] shoot [13:47] foxbuntu, clean keyboard?;) [13:48] * foxtrot ponders what to do for an OS on this old Dell D400 laptop [13:48] foxtrot: Pentium M, 1 GHz, 1GB RAM, live-CD takes 12 min to reach the desktop, afterwards runs snappy [13:48] foxtrot: No, that's not what I mean... My machine is 10 years old. Ubuntu works fine but Live session took fracking long to boot [13:48] I'm having a very weird issue with ssh... [13:48] loewi: so I should keep waiting? [13:48] when the machine first starts, it's not accessible [13:48] it been...7-8 minutes [13:49] if I locally, run *something* that uses the network (e.g. netstat, or ssh localhost), it suddenly starts accepting connections [13:49] foxbuntu, it is better to install with live usb if your laptop supports. use unetbootin. Its fast [13:49] foxtrot: I wait 12 min for it to start - depends on you CD-Drive, etc [13:50] Did Lubuntu receive official acknowledgement from Canonical yet? [13:50] its a 24x USB cdrom [13:50] foxtrot, ^^ [13:50] loewi: i just think its crashing/freezing [13:50] foxtrot: you'd be better off putting it on a 1G (or larger) USB stick, much quicker. [13:50] my laptop doesnt support that i dont think [13:51] foxtrot, maybe CD burn went wrong? hang on another 10min and make an bootable USB-stick if system still not up [13:51] what do I use to convert this 10.04 .iso to a flash drive? unetbootin? [13:51] Hello. Which is more stable, ubuntu server or desktop/alternate, 10.04, lucid, and would anyone recommend KDE-desktop loaded on top? [13:51] foxtrot: Either this or usb-creator [13:51] foxtrot: Unetbootin worked sweet for me [13:52] foxtrot: You can try using the alternate CD if you'd just like to install Ubuntu, it does not load a Live session. [13:52] does that work in windows? [13:52] geof270: if you are going to use it as a dektop use the desktop version [13:52] geof270: They are all stable. [13:52] yeah i just want to install it [13:52] geof270: KDE is fine. Both are same stability, just different packages. Desktop and alternate have only 1 difference: You can't try the live session with the alternate [13:52] foxtrot: yes unetbootin works in windows [13:52] Pici: link? [13:53] foxtrot: http://unetbootin.sf.net [13:53] foxtrot: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate [13:53] I wouldn't say stable. I've had trouble w kubuntu 10.04 crashing [13:53] What's the most common reason for conky not appearing? [13:53] Other than a faulty .conf [13:54] But I had ubuntu-desktop loaded on top [13:54] ralnaemi - not being installed :P [13:54] foxtrot, use lili live usb creator, not unetbootin. Unetbootin works fine for live session but breaks while installing (only lucid). [13:54] Joshmuffin: i have the 64 bit bersion of ubuntu on my amd 64 bit computer in system moniter it only shows 3gig ram i read that 64 bit os would be able to read the full 4 [13:54] So I'm wondering if I should start w unbuntu first, the load kubuntu-destop [13:55] p1l0t: That was inappropriate. The great leader will proceed to terminate you. [13:55] worms: where can I get that? is it free? [13:56] hey guys [13:56] anyone know [13:56] meowbuntu: know what, what's up [13:56] meowbuntu, show uname -a output [13:56] i have the 64 bit bersion of ubuntu on my amd 64 bit computer in system moniter it only shows 3gig ram i read that 64 bit os would be able to read the full 4 [13:57] anyone know if it's possible to uninstall all things ubuntu one, but retaining the ubuntu one music store? [13:57] meowbuntu: can you show me the output of "umame -a" please [13:57] anyone know how to fix right-click on desktop? Can't do that :/ but my mouse is working perfectly on other windows and panels... :/ [13:58] For instance, upgrades that include a kernel upgrade 2.36.22 don't always load, and 'recovery mode' never works [13:58] Linux minty9-laptop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [13:58] ^ ikonia [13:58] meowbuntu: now can you do the output of "free" please [13:58] syron, try runninc 'nautilus' in terminal and then try. [13:59] foxtrot, yes its is free. Works well.http://www.linuxliveusb.com/. Donot use persistent option, it makes it slower. [13:59] meowbuntu: Are you running Mint? [13:59] abhi_nav, I did that, I tried nautilus & and the filebrowser popped up, but I still can't right click on desktop :/ [13:59] ack...i locked down my panel in gconf-editor, but when i ran gnome-panel restart it restored the default panels ONTOP of my custom one...what command should i use to restart the panel?(to re-apply the unlocked state i already toggled) [13:59] syron, hmm [14:00] i do run mint on this laptop as my main os y [14:00] ughhh [14:00] meowbuntu: mint isn't supported here [14:00] i am using ubuntu 10 atm [14:00] meowbuntu: sorry, didn't know you where running mint [14:00] meowbuntu: ok - so you're having this problem in ubuntu - not mint [14:01] i have several os on this machine [14:01] yes [14:01] meowbuntu, boot into ubuntu [14:01] adn in the latest mint too [14:01] meowbuntu: show me the output of "free" please [14:01] meowbuntu, show "free" [14:01] thats y i am on ubuntu and in here as it more the ubuntu problem [14:03] hi [14:03] Why in java font selector i haven't DejaVu Sans Book, but only DejaVu Sans (Plain/Boild/Italic) differently to gnome font selector ? [14:03] ech0s7, coz java sucks [14:03] wildbat: what ? [14:04] ikonia: Linux minty9-laptop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [14:04] meowbuntu: no - the output of "free" please [14:04] oops ikonia total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3800176 1346864 2453312 0 101976 417144 -/+ buffers/cache: 827744 2972432 Swap: 522104 0 522104 [14:05] ikonia: just wondering could it be the bios not able to read it [14:05] meowbuntu: 1.) I don't think your upt to date with your laptop - that kernel is not the latest available, 2.) I think you have a hardware error with some of your ram then [14:05] or bios is not set up [14:05] meowbuntu: that shows ubuntu can only see 3gig of ram, so it's got to be hardware related [14:05] meowbuntu, do an sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [14:06] meowbuntu, might watch for PAE-kernel too [14:06] sunta: why ??? he's using 64 bit [14:06] i am using the gimp and i resized an image, but when i save it, it is small compared to the icon that is on my desktop. does anyone know how to fix this? [14:06] sunta: will that upgrade the kernel and latest stuff [14:06] sunta: the PAE kernel has no relevence [14:06] ikonia, sorry u right [14:06] When running "top" how can i tell the difference between daemon processes and regular ones? [14:07] meowbuntu: you can't [14:07] meowbuntu: sorry - not you [14:07] martiner: you can't [14:07] if there is someone out there willing to help me solve my issue, please dcc me. Been here all night and still at a loss...... [14:07] Hmm.... thats wierd.. I was given that quwstion for school.... [14:07] skeeter101: what's the issue [14:07] come to think of it this is a new install yesterday i dont think i haev done any updates so far [14:07] that could be the problem [14:08] meowbuntu: it's not [14:08] martiner: if it ends with d [14:08] and also bios [14:08] kjkjava: that's nonsense [14:08] martiner: and run by root. ha, I know [14:08] ikonia: one ubuntu box, two nic cards, eth0 is internal, eth1 is external....when both are up, I cannot ping or access the external ip [14:08] kjkjava: if you know it's nosense - don't miss-lead people [14:08] martiner: ignore kjkjava comments [14:08] ikonia: my appologies... [14:08] skeeter101: because its lan rofl. [14:09] Really? Ok.. got my hopes up there [14:09] skeeter101: look at your default route [14:09] Adem: how is it being on a lan a problem ? [14:09] does anyone know how to resize an image thats on my desktop so that it matches an image that i jusat made in the gimp? === Guest5351 is now known as Freeaiqngme [14:09] pinging is usually to see if a wan ip responds [14:09] correct me if im wrong [14:09] Adem: you're VERY wrong [14:09] Adem: so research what you say before laughing at someone [14:09] lol sorry [14:09] was taking a wild stab [14:09] ping is sending ICMP packets [14:09] kryptyk, this is quite an old script fix , but it might be worth a try, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/usb-speakers-as-default-649705/#post3187306 [14:09] Adem: if you don't know what you're saying - best not to offer adice [14:10] i was laughing at what i said, not what he asked [14:10] advice [14:10] advice [14:10] * [14:10] lol [14:10] Adem: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:10] ikonia: as of now the default gw is for the internal lan..... [14:10] hey jord [14:10] skeeter101: are both networks up ? [14:10] martiner: uhm, i don't think there is a reliable way to tell a daemon process from a vanilla one... they're the same thing. a daemon will generally not have a controlling terminal, but then so do X11 clients [14:10] ikonia: is probably why I cannot ping the external correct? [14:10] yes they are [14:10] skeeter101: correct, the interneal gateway will probably have no idea how to route externally [14:10] ikonia: what is required to make it work? [14:11] skeeter101: I'd suggest making your default gateway your external gateway machine, then making your internal network card a route for the private lan range [14:11] LjL, yeah, thats my understanding aswell... But the teacher wants an answer im afraid.. grrr [14:11] skeeter101: that way anything thats not on your lan gets routed out of the external interface, rather than internal [14:11] martel, the answer can be "you cannot see zombie status within top" [14:11] i have an error when trying to update E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [14:11] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [14:12] sunta: you can see zombie processes in top - it lists them as "zombie" [14:12] martiner: well, "ends with d" really is the closest i can think of, although it's obviously just a loose convention, and you can easily have daemons with names not ending with d, or normal processes that do end with d. [14:12] !fixdpg | meowbuntu [14:12] martiner: in fact, you can see the status of each process [14:12] skramer_, Yeah? [14:12] ikonia: could you assist me in doing that? I can provide whatever info u need....I have been at this far too long..... [14:12] skeeter101: how did you set your network cards up (what tool) [14:12] How do i restart all my sound devices? Pulse, alsa etc? [14:13] martiner: in top, it's the column just left to the "% CPU " column [14:13] martiner: it's also true that they're usually run as root, although that too is really no guarrantee at all [14:13] ikonia: terminal [14:13] skeeter101: ok - so you neet to use the route command "route add/route delete" to add and remove the routes to make your external card default and [14:13] skramer_, all I have there are s:s, and one R [14:13] however I must away now to other things [14:14] martiner: yeah, most processes will be sleeping most of the time, whether or not they're daemons [14:14] Got damn trick questions :p [14:14] Thanks for your help everyone [14:14] martiner: R is running process, S is sleeping process [14:14] how do i set the account "guest" auto logout after inactive like 5 min ? [14:14] BluesKaj, thanks, but still no luck. I can't set the USB headset to be default by editing the files because the sound system does not even recognize that they are attached - even though the OS does. [14:15] martiner: D means "uninteruptable sleep" which should be a daemon, then [14:16] skramer_: but then none of my daemons is currently in that state [14:17] This was a trickier question than i imagined.... [14:17] how can i get clamav to test thinga outside of my home folder? [14:17] does SMTP really stand for "send message to person"? [14:18] jk, pls dont kick [14:18] I got that asked [14:18] I am trying to understand pulseaudio as it is used in 10.04. I have a epia cn13000G board and audio seems to play in rythmnbox and mplayer, but no actually sound eminates from my headphones plugged into the output 3.5mm jack. I ran alsamixer and made sure all outputs were not muted and that the audio controls in the upper right of gnome were not muted either, where should I look next? [14:18] simple mail transfer protocol, sunta [14:18] nice one, sunta [14:18] heard someone explaining SMTP so someone with that [14:19] augdawg, it shows directories === omgjoz is now known as USA_ALLTHEWAY [14:19] kleetus, make sure the pcm ctrl is turned up [14:19] kleetus, i suggest you only fiddle with the sound properties applet on panel, pulseaudio can be complex [14:19] indus: but it wont let me search my entire drive if im dual booting windows, will it? === nowonmai is now known as no1hacker [14:20] !spellcheck [14:20] augdawg, windows drive iam not sure [14:20] how do i make init scripts verbose [14:20] i cant see any output [14:20] sunta: SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol [14:20] BluesKaj: is that in the audio control panel or alsamixer? [14:20] augdawg, i suggest using awast for linux [14:20] and cant debug why this service aint starting [14:20] okay thanks indus ill keep looking [14:20] How to install additional spell-check dictionaries (e.g. for Empathy) ? [14:20] kleetus, both [14:20] augdawg, clamav aint good anti virus really [14:20] BluesKaj: great thanks [14:21] indus, avast for linux: ive tried it and i love it but for some reason when i run it gibves an error [14:21] augdawg, what error === no1hacker is now known as nowonmai [14:21] augdawg, try the latest one ? [14:21] im not sure indus. [14:21] augdawg, their recent windows version is so great [14:21] i removed it after it stared working indus. [14:21] whos, avast? [14:22] augdawg, ? [14:22] ikonia: what you suggested to me, should that give me "two" defaults showing the gw's for both nic cards?

[14:23] im not sure how but it seems they overlooked that [14:23] augdawg, applications , no , folders and drives yes [14:23] and cd s [14:24] okay thanks. i wished theyd added that [14:24] indus im dowbloading it right now [14:25] augdawg, why do u need an anti virus btw [14:25] indus it just seems like a good idea to have [14:25] one [14:25] ok [14:25] sure [14:25] i hate the registration thing for avast though [14:25] indus [14:26] me too :) but its to know how many users actually instaleld it :) [14:26] !virus [14:26] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [14:26] augdawg, is your nick based on auggy doggy [14:26] no its not but who is that [14:26] i8ndus [14:26] * indus remembers an animation [14:27] 'not its not indus but who is that [14:27] kryptyk, here'a another fix ,it's a bit more recent , http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/how-i-got-my-usb-headset-to-work/ [14:27] augdawg, some cartoon character [14:27] okay. im filling out registration right now [14:28] augdawg, you can run without it for 60 days [14:28] hello everyone [14:28] need little help regarding gdesklets [14:28] indus well i already have it from when i used it befroe [14:28] hi,friends i found this open source software and want to compile it for ubuntu. plz help me [14:29] i installed gdesklets recently but i dont know how to start it [14:29] arunkumar413: which software is it? [14:29] r [14:29] arunkumar413, first step is to install the build-essential package [14:29] !launchpad [14:29] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [14:29] the source is in c++ [14:29] BluesKaj, I really appreciate the effort. Unfortunately, that link will still not get me going. It outlines configuring the settings for the headset. The problem is, even though the headset is connected and recognized by the OS (confirmed with 'dmesg' and 'lsusb') no sound applets show it as an output device [14:29] augdawg, oh they require compulsory registration ? [14:30] It is like it is not even connected as far as the sound subsystem is concerned even though the OS sees it [14:30] indus: the source is in c++ and i installed g++ compiler. [14:30] arunkumar413, install the build-essential package for any compilations [14:30] indus: im not sure what that means but i just installed it and its not showing up in my apps [14:30] indus: http://www.suigyodo.com/online/e/index.htm [14:30] whois Cesar_Augusto_U [14:30] augdawg, its in accessories [14:31] Slart, http://www.suigyodo.com/online/e/index.htm [14:31] djl: caesar augustus/ son i think [14:31] can someone tell me whats wrong? [http://cl.ly/b707445ab28411aab415] [14:31] indus: the site says that it is tested on knoppix [14:31] indus: its still not showing up. that happens to me alot and i dont nkow why [14:31] augdawg, just start from terminal [14:31] avast [14:32] indus trying that [14:32] kryptyk, did you try or are you assumeing the tutorial won't work due to the dmesg output? [14:32] arunkumar413, did you read the 'read me' ? [14:32] soccer soon.... [14:32] indus it says it cannot initialize enigne: invalid argument in terminal [14:32] soccer soon??

[14:33] augdawg, not sure what that error is [14:33] lol [14:33] i have no clue indus [14:33] augdawg, i downloaded but its asking for key :) iam too lazy to do that [14:34] Hello, anyone have problems w ureadahead on Lucid? [14:34] could it be that im running ful ubuntu on a netbook? [14:34] geof270: What kind of? [14:34] BluesKaj - I tried the guide, but the step 'Select USB Headset' in the sound window is not possible. I cannot select it and configure it because no sound applet on this machine sees it as an output device. The only thing that shows up on any sound applet is the built in sound card [14:34] indus could it be that i am running full ubuntu on a netbook? [14:34] indus: in the read me file it asks to typo qmake [14:34] kryptyk, ok, bummer :( [14:35] BluesKaj - Indeed. I appreciate your efforts just the same though [14:35] arunkumar413, yes then do it but have you instaled the package i told you [14:35] indus: i typed,it asks to install qt-dev-tools [14:35] guys, i'm getting an error with 'make' command in terminal [14:35] i don't know whats wrong :/ [14:35] augdawg, hmm netbook [14:36] indus it usually works fine though [14:36] augdawg, must be some other error, try restart pc [14:36] indus: what is the build essential package [14:36] okay ill be right back [14:36] kryptyk, np [14:36] !build-essential [14:36] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:36] indus ill be right back === USA_ALLTHEWAY is now known as omgjoz|USA [14:36] MyNickWasInUse: what are you 'making' and paste the error on paste.ubuntu.com [14:36] arunkumar413, it is compulsory to compile anything on ubuntu or debian, and you wont have to install other things individually [14:37] arunkumar413, just type sudo apt-get install build-essential [14:37] is there a program capable of opening .dat files in Ubuntu? [14:37] frxstrem, dat is not a format really, this is probably a video ? [14:37] hi, where can I find usb-modswitch? it doesn't seem to be in synaptic [14:38] how do i copy/paste from terminal? [14:38] indus: okay, more specifically I believe it's the allegro .dat format (no, it is not a video, it's more like a file archive) [14:38] indus: is that available in the lucid CD-ROM [14:38] aleray, perhaps a typo? modeswitch? [14:38] arunkumar413, dont you have internet ? [14:38] okay nvmi found it [14:38] lol [14:38] indus: ya [14:38] arunkumar413, dont think its there in cd rom [14:38] while downloading a package via Synaptic package manager in ubuntu when i go for system shutdown , the system does not inform me that a download is in progress, so how can i incorporate this feature? [14:39] indus still says same thing [14:39] indus: dialup [14:39] arunkumar413, download from internet through synaptic [14:39] hey guys, after I remove the default gw from the internal side and I do a "ip route", I am seeing a 169.254.0.0.....where did that come from? [14:39] VCoolio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/453923/ [14:39] i'm working on a setting up a website who DNS data hasn't had time to promulgate. so I edited /etc/resolv.conf and put in the dns of the hosting company. the site loads fine, but, it can't resolve google/yahoo/ etc. how can i set up resolv.conf so i dont have to keep switching back and fourth between two copies? [14:39] arunkumar413, dial up? why ? [14:39] arunkumar413, mtnl has 2 mbps for 250 rupees [14:40] skeeter101, hosts assign themselves addresses in that range when they are unable to get an address from a DHCP server. [14:40] indus: i'm from AP no MTNL here [14:40] Anyone, please tell me a way to disable any shutdown procedures via GNOME, or make it ask a sudo password [14:40] indus thanks anyway though [14:40] arunkumar413, AP, bsnl ? or some other airtel ? [14:40] augdawg, search forums of avast for a solution [14:40] unop: why would it be trying to obtain an ip from the dhcp server.....everything is manually set [14:40] MyNickWasInUse: looks disturbing; check if there is a README file for instructions [14:40] indus: bsnl cdma NIC [14:41] arunkumar413, you will have to download that package to do any compiling [14:41] theadmin: You may want to look into the pessulus or sabayon packages, as they might be able to lockdown those gnome tools. [14:41] indus: ok finished downloading [14:41] arunkumar413, thta was fast [14:41] arunkumar413, how is this a dial up [14:41] theadmin: I haven't done any of that myself, just happened to find an article about them long ago. [14:41] arunkumar413, you have bsnl data card ? [14:41] aleray, usb-modeswitch and data is available on synaptic [14:41] skeeter101, might just be cruft from before the address was set -- in any case, it's nothing to worry about, it's only normal. [14:42] indus: ya [14:42] arunkumar413, thats a broadband data card with 3 mbps [14:42] indus: not data card its a CDMA NIC device [14:42] arunkumar413, anyways , now try compiling [14:42] is there any IDs tool for web ? [14:42] augdawg, what was taht error you got ? [14:43] pakair, I'm trying to install it from a liveusb ubuntu netbook remix, maybe that's the reason? [14:43] indus same one as in the terminal [14:43] invalid argumnet could not initialize [14:43] aleray, that might be. I use 10.04 LTS [14:43] pakair, or I need to enable universe repository ?? [14:43] soemhting like tht [14:43] unop: the only way I can access the external ip on that box, is to turn off/disable eth0.....is there a way to have both interfaces up and ping/access either the internal ip or the external ip? [14:43] aleray, download the packages from ubuntu package site, packages.ubuntu.com [14:44] aleray, hmm nvm [14:44] indus: omg! have to download the qt-3 dev-tools to compile.it about 19mb [14:44] !info usb-modeswitch [14:44] usb-modeswitch (source: usb-modeswitch): mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop" USB devices. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.1.0-2 (lucid), package size 32 kB, installed size 136 kB [14:45] aleray, is in universe [14:45] skeeter101, yes, delete the default route for eth0 and add it in again with a metric higher than the metric of the other default route. === TannerF-zzz is now known as TannerF [14:46] !away > TannerF [14:46] TannerF, please see my private message [14:46] unop: thank you for the advice, but I am confused, how do I specify "a metric higher"??? [14:47] unop: and does the gw for both interfaces need to be set within the interfaces file? [14:47] \quit [14:48] indus: r u there [14:48] h00k: The last time i changed it was almost 9 hours ago, there are plenty of other people who do it much more often than that. [14:48] is there a way I can download the packages from synaptic as .deb files to my hard drive? (without installing them) [14:49] yes [14:49] vitium: apt-get -d [14:49] vitium, apt-get -d [14:49] /nick ralf === gb_ is now known as Guest78290 === gboddin_ is now known as gboddin [14:49] theadmin and sunta: so I'd do "sudo apt-get -d packagename"? === Guest78290 is now known as GaMeBoY [14:49] TannerF: the message politely explains it, it's something we ask people not to do in this channel (or other busy channels, for that matter) [14:49] vitium: yep. It will be saved in /var/cache/apt/archives/, then just take it from there [14:50] vitium: yes, then the downloaded packages will be in /var/cache/apt/archive === ubuntu is now known as Brozilla [14:50] indus, can't find it with universe repository activated as well [14:50] theadmin LjL Can I clear my cache first? How would I do that? [14:50] vitium: sudo apt-get clean [14:50] am i missing something? [14:51] theadmin thanks [14:51] skeeter101, if you are using the interfaces file -- you can specify a metric for the interface e.g. metric 20 [14:51] skeeter101, see ''man 5 interfaces'' [14:51] aleray, what exactly are you rtrying to do [14:52] hi !! === mkulke_ is now known as sikor_sxe [14:52] indus dam it there was a typo indeed! [14:52] sorry [14:52] aleray,ok [14:52] thansk for your help [14:53] aleray, you want to use this package for what ? i had to use it for my usb broadband device [14:53] im having probs with ubuntu 10.04 hanging on startuo on black screen sometimes shows desktop but nothing.. [14:54] arunkumar413, iam here [14:54] arunkumar413, well, install whatever it asks [14:54] Hello. I`ve just installed hdcpd3, but when I try to start it by /etc/init.d i get a message about nothing being writer in config. What exactly should I write there? [14:54] does your network manager detect ur bsnl modem [14:55] arunkumar413, that is the problem with compiling, is a pain [14:55] im having probs with ubuntu 10.04 hanging on startup on black screen sometimes shows desktop but nothing.. [14:55] Brozilla: Don't repeat too often [14:55] plz [14:55] k [14:55] indus: i'm using wvdial to connect.it is very old [14:55] arunkumar413, well it helps configure it , i have reliance and photon, i had to use mode switch package to detect as modem\ [14:55] arunkumar413, bah wvdial thats all old stuff, its easy now [14:56] arunkumar413, the problem with new mobile devices is, it is detected as a usb device and not as modem [14:56] anyone have a good suggestion for a photo slideshow software? preferably one that exports to a video file [14:56] indus: how to solve the bug. in 9.10 also i couldnt connect using network managre [14:56] arunkumar413, so the usb modeswitch package helps detect properly [14:56] arunkumar413, can you show me a pic of your device, [14:57] irvy , try xscreensaver [14:57] indus: ya [14:58] can anyone tell me how I make a KVM vm without NAT bridging? [14:59] burn, Have you check out synergy? [15:00] edbian: synergy? [15:00] arunkumar413, ah yes that stupid card, how do you plug it in [15:00] edbian: I believe burn is talking about the virtualization technology, not a KVM switch. [15:00] burn, It's virtual kvm software. Allows you to control any computer on your lan using 1 mouse and keyboard. [15:00] Allows you to use keyboard/mouse on multiple machines via lan [15:01] BluesKaj: can you export to video? [15:01] edbian: ?? my question is kvm networking relateed [15:01] burn, Is that helpful or are you talking about virtualizing [15:01] indus: ya i know [15:01] Hi. I think I b0rked by flashplugin, and I'm hoping someone can help. When I was running karmic I tried to install a different version of flashplugin, so I replaced /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. In lucid I wanted to go back to using the default, so I deleted libflashplayer.so and then uninstalled and reinstallled the flashplugin-installer package. However, when I try to view flash firefox tells me I need to install [15:01] the plugin and at the terminal it says "*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". What should I do? [15:01] arunkumar413, what is max speed in that card? [15:02] 144kbps [15:02] skeeter101: u there ? [15:02] indus: 144kbps [15:02] arunkumar413, ah omg, [15:02] 555 [15:02] arunkumar413, youa student ? [15:02] hi, is there a way to make NetworkManager use custom VPN routes towards network devices instead of Ip addresses? [15:02] indus: ya,just completed by b.tech [15:02] arunkumar413, anyways, dont know how to conenct that card , but try using 10.04 [15:03] arunkumar413, and configure the device in mobile broadband [15:03] arunkumar413, but you will need usb modeswtich packagei think [15:03] indus: yes is it configure it in mobile broadband. It tries to dial and gives "network disconnected-you are offline now" [15:04] unperson: Try reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree package [15:04] It looks to me like with the flashplugin-installer package that mozilla should be using the flashplugin-alternative.so library not the libflashplugin library. [15:04] soreau, You mean flashplugin-installer or flashplugin-nonfree? [15:04] indus: usbmodswitch? [15:05] indus: how to install it [15:05] arunkumar413, ok remove device,then plug in again and type command dmesg | tail [15:05] soreau, flashplugin-nonfree looks like it's an empty transitional package that just depends on flashplugin-installer. [15:05] indus: but removing the device will disconnect the irc [15:05] arunkumar413, yes but just want to see [15:05] ok [15:05] arunkumar413, remember commadn dmesg | tail [15:06] arunkumar413, and save it and paste it [15:06] I have a question regarding the computer I'm using. I am looking at the "sudo lshw" output, in Terminal. (OS: Lucid Lynx) Trying to determine if this laptop is 64-bit capable or not. There are conflicting "width" items in the output. Some say 32 bits, others say 64 bits. Which ones do I look at and which do I disregard? [15:06] arunkumar413, but wait [15:06] indus: ok [15:06] arunkumar413, since you have used wvdial , i think no need for that [15:07] arunkumar413, but i tried it myself, removed wvdial and used ubuntu packages usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data and it worked [15:07] indus: ok,then tell me how install usb-modeswitch [15:07] arunkumar413, dont remove anything for now [15:07] arunkumar413, do one thing, download the package with this connection and save to desktop [15:08] Zakatharant, Really the only thing that matters is the ram, the motherboard, and the processor. In lshw make sure th processor and the ram is 64 bit. I'm not sure you can check the motherboard but I think you already know if it is or not. [15:08] indus: which package? [15:08] im having probs with ubuntu 10.04 hanging on startup on black screen sometimes shows desktop but nothing.. [15:08] arunkumar413, wait [15:08] Brozilla, which graphics card [15:08] soreau, I think I'm going to try uninstalling nspluginwrapper as well and then re-install both packaged. [15:08] nvidia 9500 [15:08] indus: checked the synaptic the usbmod switch is installed [15:09] why doesn't `add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une` work? [15:09] Zakatharant: if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "the CPU is 64 bits"; else echo "the CPU is 32 bits"; fi [15:09] arunkumar413, ok then cool [15:09] Zakatharant: run that line in a terminal [15:09] edbian: I do not know if the mobo is 64 bits or not, hence why I'm looking in lshw in the first place. This is a salvaged PC (only thing wrong with it is a dead optical drive) that I installed the 32 bit version of Lucid on (just in case it is not 64 bit ready) using a Live USB. [15:09] arunkumar413, in anyh case its good to have it saved so you can help your friends with photon or reliance cards [15:09] Zakatharant, How much ram do you have? [15:09] edbian: 2 gig [15:10] arunkumar413, since its installed , you can copy it from /var/cache/apt/archives [15:10] And "if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "the CPU is 64 bits"; else echo "the CPU is 32 bits"; fi" pushed back that the CPU is 64 bit. [15:10] * indus goes for a smoke [15:10] indus: ok,but now how to make my network manager connect using my device [15:10] Zakatharant, That it really doesn't matter if it's 64 bit or not. The most important reason to use a 64 bit processor, motherboard, and OS is to allow the system to map 4Gb+ of ram. Since you only have 2Gb there really is not advantage for 64 bit anything. [15:11] hio [15:11] arunkumar413, right now you running wvdial in terminal i think [15:11] * Zakatharant nods. "Then perhaps you can help me with another question?" [15:11] indus: ya [15:11] why doesn't `add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une` work? [15:11] disk utility claims for one of my HDs; "DISK FAILURE IS IMMINENT", apparently the reallocated sector count is failing. What does this mean? Any chance its incorrect? [15:11] arunkumar413, which ubuntu [15:11] indus: i tried gnome-ppp no use. i use 10.4 [15:12] Specifically: I uninstalled Empathy and installed Pidgin, but I'm still getting alerts when people log into IM and log out. How do I turn off this behavior? [15:12] arunkumar413, ppp ah that [15:12] Zakatharant, is it pidgin's preferences? [15:12] Zakatharant, are you saying your getting empathy alerts? [15:13] I didn't see anything in preferences when I looked....yes, even though I uninstalled empathy. [15:13] Starcraftmazter, See my pm? [15:13] arunkumar413, i think wvdial is good for you [15:13] Zakatharant: did you restart after you uninstalled? [15:13] arunkumar413, my suggestion is for data cards only [15:13] acovrig: Yes [15:13] indus: its not good at all.it takes more than 2 min to connect [15:13] Zakatharant, ps -e <-- Look for empathy in there [15:14] HELLO :D [15:14] 8D [15:14] Starcraftmazter, Hello?

One of them is "Compose key position". If you click the plus sign next to it, you should get a list of possible keys you can assign to be the compose key.

[16:24] Dr_Willis: I have 3 screens connected to a "content server" that are extended over cat5 and are around the office. I would use vnc to get content/change content on each of the screens. Each monitor is in its own xscreen. [16:25] performance isn't critical, but when it doesn't update locally, it's hard to tell if anything has changed... [16:26] ive never had such uissues on a local lan. so cant really help there. You couild try some different window managers or vnc viewers also [16:26] Dr_Willis: are there any other vncservers you've used?

I just done it to http://pastebin.com/JUjZtRWn . Can anyone with advanced skills check if there is anything anormal? [17:47] yeah moved it to my laptop, also had trouble with regular install on my raid drive recomendation don't do raid [17:47] on my laptop had no troubles [17:48] maybe it would help if you posted the errors on here [17:49] <_CommandeR_> win_2_linux, = http://pastebin.org/354657 [17:50] whats that, i'm a noob [17:50] lol [17:50] win_2_linux: wubi i dont think can handle raids. [17:50] <_CommandeR_> it points to C:\Windows\sysnative\bcdedit.exe does not exist even when i dont have it [17:50] http://pastebin.com/9m13wCum <--- does anybody know what these queries are and why they might be building up? [17:51] anyone know why MPD clients (sonata, gnome music player cient) don't seem to install MPD as a dependency? [17:51] dr_willis I found that out [17:51] lol [17:51] MikeChelen: because you could be using a remote mpd [17:51] win_2_linux: so do a normal install. or run ubuntu in virtualbox if you want to experiment with iot. [17:51] crdlb: ah true [17:51] how do I use "dpkg-reconfigure" to change default browser? [17:52] Poka64: for a single user? or the whole system? [17:52] Poka64: use "sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser" [17:52] system -> perferances -> perfereed applications for a 'per user setting' [17:52] It seems that something wrong with ALSA. [17:53] steffan: thanks [17:53] dr_willis I did the virtual box thing and discovered I like linux but because of a bad experience with mandrake many moons ago, it broke and I couldn't reinstall or fix it, i was leary of putting it on my hard drive however, I have two distros in vb and play with them both, [17:53] Hi Guys. Simple Question. How can I have my networking Disabled when I login, and then have it enable after 5 or 10 seconds? [17:53] anyway I did try the normal install on ubunto and it wouldn't install [17:53] Gwar_: You are refering to wireless networking? or what excactly? any are you wanting to do this anyway? [17:53] when using wubi i kept gett ing run chkdsk /r which I did and it kept doing that over and over [17:54] so, is lucid having trouble connecting to security servers and or gpg servers? i keep geting various fails and time outs and the gpg for gnome do doesnt exist whats gpoing on? [17:54] win_2_linux: may be 'best' to have a seperate hard drive not part of that 'raid' you mentioned - just for linux to go on. === Guest57581 is now known as downstream [17:54] Dr_Willis, I need to run a script at startup. I have that setup. The problem is, for it to work, networking has to be disabled (like how it is when you right click the applet in the bar and disable the networking (all kinds) from there) === user_14 is now known as Neuplatoniker [17:55] I'd have to delete the raid 0 array which I'm going to do because when one disk goes the you can't boot because of the striping [17:55] I didn't do it, the puter came with the raid, supposed to make it faster [17:55] win_2_linux: you could also install linux to a exteral usb hard drive. (be sure to tell the installer to put the bootloader on the usb hd) [17:55] <[DarkSun]> where does the network manager keep the config files for the ipaddress info, etc? 10.04 [17:55] one of my harddisks is on the fritz i get that dreadful four clicks then two clicks [17:55] win_2_linux: i dont bother with raids any more. So cant really help with them. [17:56] win_2_linux: sounds like you should be making backups asap. === Myst is now known as S`IRL [17:56] and the bios doesn't see it, then it wakes up and it sees it and i can boot, but if I get a powerfailure or have to do a cold boot the disk does the clicking again, so each time i can boot into win i copy files [17:57] greetings [17:57] how can i drop an ssh session? [17:57] and i'm getting a couple of 1 tb hard drives [17:57] non raid [17:57] [DarkSun], sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [17:57] win_2_linux: i got about 5 1+TB external USB hd's for my 'data' :) [17:57] or maybe raid 1 if i can do it, a backup is good [17:58] when I log in my wireless network no longer connects automatically -- since we stopped broadcasting the SSID name [17:58] 'redundant stack of external usb hard drives' [17:58] dr_willis you must have tons of data [17:58] how can I tell which drive my home folder is on? [17:58] how do I change my username? [17:58] * Dr_Willis rarely deletes anything [17:58] <[DarkSun]> abhi_nav_: i looked there, just says "auto lo" then "iface lo inet loopback" nothing bout the info thats in the network manager [17:58] digitaltanha: run 'mount' in a terminal [17:58] [DarkSun], hmmm [17:58] digitaltanha: check mount command. If its not on its own partiiton - then its on same one as / [17:58] hello? [17:58] irc.dreams-fr.net [17:58] can I override maximum alsa volume? [17:58] so Dr_Willis a virtual pack rat? [17:59] reviky [17:59] digitaltanha, if you don't see /home listed there then it is on the root partition [17:59] I learned ages ago that backing stuff up to 'optical disk' is not very reliable. [17:59] how do I change my login username? [17:59] k thnks so much [17:59] Dr_Willis agreed [17:59] Zela, (I think) you cant [17:59] abhi_nav_, I think you can. [18:00] I poohooed backing up because I read somewhere or a few somewheres that modern hard drives are built to last and last [18:00] ive had several optial drives die on me.. of course you dont realize they are going bad.. untill after youve made a few dozen+ data disks that are less then reliable. [18:00] hello, is there some advanced spelling checking available on linux? something with n-grams or grammar? [18:00] Zela, may be [18:00] Zela, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=821685 [18:00] #ubuntu-cn [18:00] win_2_linux: so far. Optical drives die on me the most. then hard drives.. then other parts of the PC. [18:00] wind type /j #ubuntu-cn [18:01] ubuntu.ru [18:01] Zela: administration>users and groups [18:01] dvd roms yeah I find they're ok t use for music and stuff but data when the burning programs keeps giving you errors about the disk you're using even at low speeks and they're the one's that begin with a y [18:01] For some reason it won't let me log in using openbox as my session. After I enter my password it just kicks me back to the login screen [18:01] supposed not have coasters [18:01] but i do [18:01] Thanks arand [18:02] I forget the name yultabian or something like that [18:02] Hey I have a serious problem concerning a graphic issue. In Ubuntu 9.10 everything works fine, but if I upgrade to 10.04 my screen is full of pixels. Those pixels make it impossible to work with the operating system! [18:02] polter: i don't believe so, pulseaudio does have "over 100%" volume available to add gain. [18:02] how Can i know what files a specific package installs? [18:03] Zela: I'm not sure If it will change your home folder name, username proper, etc. [18:03] cian1243: your screen is full of pixels? [18:03] yes [18:03] <[DarkSun]> anyone else have any ideas? [18:03] arand, yea it isnt changing [18:03] cian1243: i don't wish to sound rude, but unless I misunderstand you, it's normal for your screen to be full of pixels [18:03] cian1243: It's a known issue. [18:03] thune3, hmm that's too bad really. I have the ability to play a bit louder on Windows, so it must be some sort of software thing [18:03] [DarkSun], what are you looking for? [18:04] cian1243: Marked as "Won't fix" [18:04] sorry missed it [18:04] hi, I hava a eeepc 1101ha 1366x768 and i'd like use an external monitor 1440x900, in mirrored mode. Is it possible? [18:04] Zela: For that I guess you'd need to create a new user and copy things over.. [18:04] I mean they are not arranged correctly [18:04] <[DarkSun]> blue_anna, where does the network manager keep the config files for the ipaddress info, etc? 10.04 [18:04] arand, ok. [18:04] arand, how? [18:04] hi, after the recent update(kernel and Xorg) i have sounds problem in KDE4, i do not noticed any alsa updates, i need some tips about troubleshoting this, the sounds plays but it gets periodicaly stops/frezzes , is imposible to listen something but you can hear parts otf the sounds [18:04] Zela: But the change there will get the cosmetics right though.. I guess [18:04] [DarkSun], so far as I know, /etc/networking holds the preferences [18:04] how Can i know what files a specific package installs? [18:04] [DarkSun], you want to edit ip etc? [18:05] <[DarkSun]> abhi_nav_, yes [18:05] arand how do i copy things over?

[18:10] im having issues with my tv being suported do you think kunbunu will work [18:11] blue_anna: then start broadcasting it again?

[18:12] abhi_nav_, sounds promising, how? [18:12] blue_anna, notwist start again broadcasting is not relly necessary. we can connect to hidden network easily. [18:12] how can i change my default http port for apache from 80 to 8081? [18:12] how Can i know what files a specific package installs? [18:12] blue_anna, right click on network manager apliet (before make sure to swithc on wifi button) and there is option which reads 'Connect to hidden network' [18:12] Yo yo yo [18:12] abhi_nav_, ooh yeah, that's what I'm doing now [18:13] blue_anna, hmm [18:13] gwerra: you go to package manager >> history [18:13] abhi_nav_, but I want it to connect automatically :) === darkmoon is now known as Darkmoon_UK [18:13] blue_anna, it wll connect automaticaly. first time you set it manualy then check 'Connect Automatically' thats it [18:13] Gwerra: you could download the deb and extract it. I'm sure dpkg has some magic in its man pages [18:13] raj, I installed them using apt-get [18:13] i am not particularly happy with lucid, since switching back to gnome its been problem after problem, 1st after installing GNOME-do my is working a small menu appears under the envelope - NOT magnifier, as i set up with compizconfig-settings-manager. 2 im getting all sorts of security failures when updating this is a fresh install as of this morning.

[18:15] is [18:15] abhi_nav_, when I click "connect to hidden network", I can select the connection from the dropdown or leave it as "New...", the other fields are network name and security .. there's no connect automatically in that dialog [18:15] zus: Security failures? Do you mean that apt cannot verify the authenticity of packages? [18:15] ActionParsnip, the security one i seen in launchpad and i clicked it affects me (3 resintalls same problem) [18:15] raj, shows nothing at all [18:15] blue_anna, you have to enter all the details manualy (only) for first time. because its hidden network [18:15] azlon_: Many routers do not allow loopback connections, so you cannot connected to your external address from inside the network.

You could also specify your server's internal ip address in /etc/hosts [18:17] abhi_nav_, my NetworkManager preferences file has a settings "autoconnect=true" for this connection, so I'm not sure that I haven't already gone through what you are referring to back when it wasnt a hidden network [18:17] blue_anna, first thing is that ask in #ubuntu+1 for 10.10. I am on 10.04 [18:18] win_2_linux, a fresh install of KDE in my personal opinion, not just because of my problems, but over all i liked it a lot better [18:18] abhi_nav_, same [18:18] !10.10 [18:18] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 === Guest31474 is now known as bryanj [18:18] no I'm on 10.04 [18:18] blue_anna, ok [18:18] i have 8 gb of RAM but lucid 64 bit only shows 4 gb [18:19] Hello.

[18:19] thanks Zus, trying Xchat for win right now to see if I want to use it for linux [18:19] gwerra: thats weird. i do it that way and it always shows what installed. did you compile it? or just went with: apt-get install (software) [18:20] What would you guys recommend for a webdesigner moving from Adobe CS to Ubuntu?

[18:21] But there really hasn't been something that replaced Dreamweaver [18:21] you can port cs to linux with wine i read unnoticably [18:21] teamtrimbledesig: gimpshop, its a rehashed gimp to have most of the menus how photoshop is [18:21] really?

[18:22] I thought that development had ceased on it [18:22] gwerra, try dpkg -L libglu1-mesa [18:22] azlon_: set the server to use a static ip can save lots of heartache [18:22] where is noob questions channel? this one is easy [18:22] webmaster61, did the restriced drivers pick it up?

[18:39] !root | anothernewbie [18:39] anothernewbie: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:39] is port 80 closed by default? [18:39] gionnico: /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/firefox-bin [18:39] iceroot: ok so it depends on version [18:39] azlon: if apache is not running, yes [18:39] this is bad [18:39] I know how to use root and set up the password [18:39] isn't there a symlink? [18:40] Problem is ubuntu says root is not found whenever I try to use it even on an accoutant with admin rights [18:40] !rootsupport | anothernewbie [18:40] anothernewbie: root not to be used, but to be.. what do you want to do ? [18:40] gionnico: the bin yes, /usr/bin/firefox not (which is a link to an sh script which is calling hte bin) [18:40] iceroot, apache is running... but when i do nmap -p80 it says: 80/tcp closed http [18:40] trying to Install a firestarter and it says cannot find root-sudo because it is not installed [18:40] iceroot: ok but i need the library path [18:40] azlon: then apache is only running on lo not eth0 [18:41] Running off of a flashdrive [18:41] anothernewbie: just use sudo.. dont need the root- .. [18:41] ubottu: how does sudo help me from having the modem hanging up? I run 'sudo wvdial' and it still hang up... [18:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:41] quick question guys.....if I have opened up the directory that is connected to a digital camera, but deleted them from the camera before saving them to the Hard disk...would Ubuntu keep a 'ghost' image of them somwhere? [18:41] firestarter needs root to function [18:41] I think I have lost a shed load of photos :S [18:41] mikebeecham: do not think so [18:41] And I dont want to connect to the internet without a firewall again [18:41] anothernewbie: yes.. sudo means SuperUser DO.. [18:41] mikebeecham: using the cli then no, using the gui look at the trash [18:41] anothernewbie: and root is superuser.. [18:41] mikebeecham: you can use photorec is in the repos in the testdisk package [18:42] anothernewbie: linux dont need a firewall like windows [18:42] iceroot: dont understand [18:42] !undelete | mikebeecham [18:42] mikebeecham: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [18:42] erSUL what would that do? [18:42] /wc/wc [18:42] Well my first ubuntu install was hacked [18:42] so im going to secure the hell out of it this time [18:42] anothernewbie: not because of a missing firewall [18:42] mikebeecham: iceroot is saying that maybe you deleted it via nautilus and are in the trash [18:42] i checked the trash, and are not there [18:42] mind you..is there two trashes in Ubuntu? [18:43] mikebeecham: no [18:43] hmm [18:43] Is there any easy way to just install root? [18:43] mikebeecham: well removable media has its own trash [18:43] anothernewbie: yes [18:43] anothernewbie: i suggest you should use 'sudo command'.. never heard the root-sudo thing.. [18:43] anothernewbie: is there a reason? no [18:43] iceroot, when i restarted apache i got this: http://pastebin.com/vNhjXCap [18:43] erSUL sounds interesting [18:43] sigh firestarter needs root-sudo so there is my reason [18:44] is there really have a thing called root-sudo guys ? [18:44] azlon: put the hostname in /etc/hosts [18:44] never heard of it.. [18:44] said it could not install because of lack of it [18:44] azlon: at the moment, apache is running on lo interface [18:44] mikebeecham: do crtl + H in nautilus to see hidden files. maybe it is there ( in the camera folder ) [18:44] iceroot, but will people outside of my LAN be able to access it if i just update the hosts file? [18:44] Is there a root deb out there I can use? [18:45] azlon: if the ip you assigned the host to can be access from outside the lan, yes [18:45] anothernewbie, root deb? [18:45] anothernewbie: stop asking about root. [18:45] anothernewbie: use sudo, here is no support for activating root user [18:45] anothernewbie: is root is an application ? god, please forgive me.. [18:45] Is it okay, if the ALSA driver is 1.0.21, but the libraries are 1.0.22 ? [18:45] anothernewbie: if you need a root-sshell, use sudo -i [18:46] iceroot, i have the hosts file open, my public IP is 78.154.206.110, but what do i put next to it? localhost? [18:46] During boot I get this error "unable to find schemea for key daemon deafult session" [18:46] anothernewbie: as far as i know, root is not an application and doesnt need to be install.. [18:46] azlon: the hostname you assigned with the dns [18:46] erSUL...think the photos are gone :S [18:46] Sigh sudo -i gives error root install not found [18:46] ha ha [18:46] anothernewbie, what exactly did you type? [18:46] anothernewbie: output of id root or better cat /etc/passwd [18:47] anothernewbie: to pastebin [18:47] iceroot, the error message doesn't tally with the description of the problem. [18:47] iceroot, im so confused... i put 78.154.206.110 azlon.myvnc.com in the hosts file, but i still cant load the page unless i type http://localhost [18:47] root sudo -i maybe ? [18:48] lol [18:48] sigh I know the commands and I've tried every one of them [18:48] Dual-booting Win7 and Ubuntu, would the following partitions make sense? 1. W7 - NTFS 2. / - ext4, /home - ext4, /data - ext3, the latter ext3, because then I can mount it as ext2 from W7 and share media between the operating systems.

If you lean heavily on Shockwave, I suggest you try 32 bits instead. [19:36] <_slax0r_> but there is no ra0 device to be found [19:36] <_slax0r_> only a pan0 which is not a WLAN device [19:36] i keep reading online that the ubuntu installer is supposed to have options for encrypted volumes [19:36] yet i don't see them [19:36] stereocaulon, i can go without flash for a bit [19:37] qwicksilver711: isn't flashplayer in syetem admin synaptic package manager [19:37] lag cheking [19:37] qwiksilver711, I can put up an alpha version of that player for you, Alphar42 if you like.

[19:42] oh yea youre right, -m is better [19:42] -p returns "unknown" on 32-bit, 64-bit, and even ARM. [19:43] tt__, use 32 [19:43] i686 [19:43] kralyk1: uname does not tell you what type of processor you have.. it tells you what arch you have installed [19:43] tt__, use 32 [19:44] "cat /proc/cpuinfo" shows what actual CPU. [19:44] tt__: you'r processor is Yonah, which is 32-bit only [19:44] tt__, 32 is for most users 64 is for the prso [19:44] Guest70224, that is simply not true [19:44] привет все [19:44] Is there a way to get the same functionality in Linux (Ubuntu) as "Network Places" offers in Windows ?

[19:44] Guest70224: 64-bit is for everyone with 64-bit processor [19:44] this is kinda unrelated, do you think this system is capable of direct32 and pixel shader 2.0...I have a feeling yes and no respectively [19:45] kralyk1, +1 [19:45] hello, can anyone please suggest me a tool to measure internet bandwidth in realtime by hosts, of my home network ? i'm having a hardtime with iftop..

[19:47] how do i customize my xubuntu 10.4 appearance [19:47] any ideas about the second question, would this machine do direct3d and pixel shader 2.0? [19:47] Hi. Does anyone know how to reduce NAUTILUS memory usage? (It takes 180 mega instead of 30-50 mega) [19:47] Azalis: mine worked out of the box [19:47] bazhang, Mint is just lucid with extra bitz [19:48] Gwar, no, it's an unsupported derivative [19:48] they both have integrated, this one has some intel 943m and the other is 9200m [19:48] hi... i am having a newly set up vroot server on ubuntu 8.04lts. After updating with apt-get I wanted to change my shell to zsh, which I did by "chsh" and entered /bin/zsh [19:48] but now after logging out I can't get in via ssh anymore... it says my root password is wrong [19:48] bazhang, while that may be true. 99% of what works for Lucid, Works for Isadora too. [19:48] im trying to play a free movie i downloaded. I loaded the .srt subtitles but the subtitles are about 30 seconds delayed from what's actually said in the movie. Can anyone help? [19:48] because its close enough id just adapt it to mint 9 [19:48] can anybody help me? [19:49] excuse the noobish question, but how do i customize my xubuntu 10.4 appearance [19:49] Azalis, Yes. In almost every case, tutorials for Lucid work on Isadora [19:49] xxu, search for some subtitle workshop [19:50] datacrusher: what does "some subtitle workshop mean/ [19:50] so my 360 pad for pc will work with 10.04, i emulate old dos and snes games using it [19:50] xxu: Either find different subtitles (usually found online), reencode the movie and adjust the subs yourself (avidemux is a good tool for that) or maybe VLC can let you adjust them on playback, but that im not sure about [19:50] Exavion: thank you [19:50] with vlc you can play the video with external subs and can mux them in when playing [19:50] what does mux mena? [19:50] mean* [19:51] Any ideas on why my laptop running Lucid can't change monitor resolutions? If I change to a lower resolution (ie, 640x480), the screen fades to white, which I'm assuming if a feature of the monitor. It used to work in Karmic.

Thanks a lot guys [19:53] Doyle: glad to help. enjoy your ipv6 disabled browsing [19:53] how come that after changing the shell for my root user (over ssh), I can't login anymore? It says permission denied? Can anybody help me and tell me how this comes? [19:53] xxu: mplayer lets you adjust the subtitle delay during playback (- and + keys). For a permanent solution, I use windows subtitle workshop under wine to adjust the subtitle timings....

[19:57] !clone | wng- [19:57] hello I nedd one dsitribuition in disket of boot on usb stick!!!! [19:57] wng-: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:57] !aptoncd | wng [19:57] wng: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [19:57] Stdedos: Have you tried stopping squid using sudo /etc/init.d/squid stop [19:57] oCean_: bazhang: thanks!

[19:59] bazhang: I'm using ubuntu-server, does aptoncd have a cli interface? [19:59] xxu: yes, during playback with mplayer, and it should say something on screen about AV-delay when you press them... [19:59] \join #scipy === darthvader2point is now known as apachelogger [19:59] wng-, I'd use the clone one then [19:59] bazhang: but clone isn't what I want at all [20:00] Pici: It asks me to use the "service" command* [20:00] I want a CD i can use to install if I buy another node somewhere down the line [20:00] Loshki: it doesn't say anything [20:00] hi [20:00] my os was working fine, all of a sudden everything stutters and is slow. even boot time suffers. any clues please [20:00] every one [20:00] wng-, no cli for aptoncd that I know of [20:00] 9.10 === orlando is now known as xektrum [20:00] its like it's having trouble with my hdd [20:00] xxu: Try pressing 'o' first to enable on-screen display.

[20:02] !backtrack [20:02] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [20:02] StartX: backtrack support in #backtrack-linux [20:02] blouaap: any error messages in /var/log/syslog or dmesg? [20:02] !imaging [20:02] okay bastid [20:02] StartX, in #backtrack-linux not here [20:02] xxu: are you using plain old mplayer, or one of the wrappers e.g. gmplayer? [20:03] Loshki: im useing totem mplayer [20:04] xxu: Try VLC as well, VLC is better at playing damaged avi's and whatnot. [20:04] bazhang: My motherboard dont booting of usb!!! [20:04] xxu: try it with regular, plain old mplayer first. I'm sure totem will do it too, but I dunno its key sequences. You could check the docs... [20:04] Luksor, then there is nothing to be done [20:04] Loshki: how do you use regular mplayer [20:05] xxu: open a terminal and type 'mplayer ' [20:05] via console [20:05] mplayer /home/azalis/testfile.avi [20:05] Luksor, try setting the the proper options in your BIOS. Most motherboards support booting from USB nowadays [20:05] Loshki, http://pastebin.com/q2t5Xacg [20:06] there is the possibility of doing the initial boot from the diskette and then get the rest in pendrive [20:07] brb [20:07] Luksor, by chaining the bootsequence...Yes, that is possible, however diskette is a medium prone to failure. [20:07] is booting ubuntu possible from EFI machines? eg intel mac mini? [20:07] Stereocaulon: there is no such option is the old pc [20:07] blouaap: I don't see anything obviously wrong. When you run 'top' in a terminal, what's using up all the cpu time? [20:08] Is there a way I can install IntelliJ IDEA through the software center? [20:08] Luksor, that is not an option in the BIOS, it's an option in the GRUB/ lilo bootloader on your diskette. [20:08] Stereocaulon: just need to do this once [20:09] Loshki, seems to be xorg [20:09] but why would boot be slow [20:09] when xorg hasnt even started [20:09] feels like disk writing is faulty [20:09] Stereocaulon: correct, but there is a distribution board that does this! just need her name! UNetbootin and it is not! : D [20:09] for some reason [20:10] this is fairly fresh install [20:10] Is there a way to create a CD with an exact image of a running ubuntu server machine?

[20:11] Pici, thanks, i hate fresh installs, ya have to set it all back up,... [20:11] got disconnected. can we continue our chat? [20:11] wng-: you could also try #ubuntu-server [20:11] blouaap: right, not sure that's really your problem. Disk problems generally get reported in the logs. You can check the SMART data for the disk drives via gsmartctl http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/About but at this stage we're still guessing... [20:12] Luksor, Sorry, can't quite make sense of what you are trying to say. Please rephrase. [20:13] will this automatically install the x64 version? [20:13] ok so i have been having a problem geting ubuntu to load on my TV i downloaded SLAX and it worked on my TV anyone know the Differnce between slax and ubuntu [20:13] wng-: yes, generally you want what they call a bare-metal backup i.e. a backup you can restore do a system with nothing else on it. See !backup | wng- [20:13] is there problems with ext4 ? [20:13] !backup | wng- [20:13] wng-: There are many ways to back your system up.

There isn't a xorg.conf by default in karmic or lucid. You have to manually create one [20:19] xxu: that's true. I thought it adjusted subtitles too, but now I'm not sure. You may have to edit the subtitle file... [20:19] Loshki: how? [20:20] xxu: I use windows subtitle workshop under wine. It has an 'adjust timings' feature where you enter the timing of the first and last utterance and it adjusts all the timings to fit....

[20:28] plz... am in serious trouble right now [20:28] hello [20:29] mursalat, please read the link provided [20:29] oh btw how do i find out what driver my usb wireless card is using? when i go to network manager and click connection information it says that it's using usb driver [20:29] but i could've sworn the driver for this usb wireless card was rt3070sta [20:30] ddrj, the driver? checked in hardware drivers? [20:30] bazhang, yap [20:30] nothing in hardware drivers x( [20:30] ddrj, what does lsusb show as the chipset [20:30] How do you set Environmental Variables? [20:30] hmm checking [20:30] ddrj: look for something familiar from running lsmod? [20:31] .thanks bazhang - i am sorry for sounding like this .. just feelin desperate. [20:31] bazhang, ls usb says: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1737:0078 Linksys [20:31] maccam941, thanks let me check from lsmod [20:31] my device is E169G - and it says unknow [20:32] E169G = Huawei E169G [20:32] hi. say, my locale is utf-8, but all my text files and whatnot get saved by default as ascii. why? and how would i change this so that the encoding is by default utf-8? [20:33] is anyone else getting bad sigs from the main lucid and lucid-security repos [20:33] ? [20:33] maccam941, nothing familiar from lsmod, it's weird, this is the problem i have: when i turn on ubuntu WITH the usb wifi card inserted, i don't get any connection to the net, but when i remove it and put it back into the usb slot AFTER ubuntu has started, it will connect to the net [20:34] !anyone > a5an0 [20:34] a5an0, please see my private message [20:34] so that's why i was thinking that adding my usb wifi card driver to start up would alleviate this problem.. [20:34] a5an0, what problems are *you* having...asking if people are having problems with it isn't going to get much help [20:34] ddrj: it probably doesn't work from bootup because the hardware is detected before networkmanager can do it configuration magic? [20:34] can u plz tell me one thing then.. i installed JDK.. by loggin in as root, then typing sh /home/mydir/jdk-version-watever.bin but then when i try to install eclipse by clicking the eclipse icon then i get error - "no virtual machine was found after searching the following locations /home/mursalat/......somethings...." [20:35] toolbear: ascii is a subset of utf-8, are you sure the encoding is incorrect? have you tried any characters that aren't in ascii? [20:35] I need to take a screenshot and crop it and send it by IM quickly, what are my options? Don't want to load up GIMP just to crop it quickly... [20:35] maccam941, ahhhhh i see, so no use then [20:35] i guess i'll just stick it in after bootup [20:35] once i edit the xorg.conf do i have to rebot for it to take efect? [20:35] Vooloo, not sure if it has that exact functionality, but you can try shutter: sudo apt-get install shutter === xUmaRix_ is now known as xUmaRix [20:36] ddrj: it might be worth filing a bug, like maybe networkmanager should check for devices that are already connected [20:36] you'll probably need to check your logs [20:36] trism: no, i just used the "file" command [20:36] SlidingHorn: will look at it, F-Spot actually had Crop function [20:36] maccam941, alright thanks i've never filed a bug before, let me try [20:37] i BEG anyone with linux knowledge to PLEASE open up a private chat with me.

I'm trying to build SOPE, I've sourced GNUStep.sh, but I still get a "Foundation/NSObject.h: No such file or directory" error when trying to build. Any ideas?

I'm getting badsig's coming back from serveral official repos, and from kaunchpad.

I usually discourage recommending this in the channel, but google it. [20:42] do i have to reboot for the xorg.conf to take efect [20:42] trism: i tried your suggestion. apparently, the only difference is that the "file" command says the encoding is ascii if only ascii characters are present, but if non-ascii utf-8 characters are present, then it will say that the encoding is utf-8 [20:42] kushalsejwal, check fullcircle magazine for Ubuntu [20:42] Traveler0: atleast log out and back in [20:42] ok [20:42] Traveler0: restart X or log out then back in [20:43] SlidingHorn: I know there are numerous Ubuntu related websites, I was asking about "magazines" [20:43] TY [20:43] kushalsejwal, try in #ubuntu-offtopic then [20:43] bazhang: yeah I guess fullcircle is the only good free maganize for linux / ubuntu [20:43] bazhang: ok :) [20:44] I just installed DeveDe DVD burning software, I don't see it on my system.

Some folks like the change, others dont...you can always switch back to Pidgin [20:48] For some reason it won't let me log in through openbox. It just kicks me back to GDM. I'm on Failsafe Gnome currently. [20:48] do i need to do sudo to copy [20:48] Help appreciated! [20:49] Traveler0: that depends on what and where you're copying [20:49] mursalat, well if it's not supported, i hate to say it, but you should get another device that is -- or reverse engineer a driver for it/find someone that knows how to do so... :-\ [20:49] xorg.conf [20:49] Traveler0: if you get an output that is an error of some sort, then yes sudo [20:49] Traveler0: yes, you need sudo === Pyrokinetics is now known as Kine [20:50] still having issues with my TV bastid [20:50] heya, im following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but I dont know where to install GRUB when it comes into this part "Replace /dev/sda with the location you want to install GRUB on."

[20:57] Speakers: you could try k3b. it will require about 200MB of kde libraries. if you're not tight on space then, in my opinion it is a wise choice. [20:57] if im in a folder in terminal and im coping a file from that folder do i need to add / like sudo cp /xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:57] I got 90GB [20:57] hey you guys...wats the command to remove dependencies...liek if i install program A and it takes up 10 MB then i purge it, only 5mb's are purged....how do i remove the other 5 mbs? [20:57] Is there a new key when booting Lucid to escape to recovery? Escape doesn't work for me. [20:58] cannonfodder: Try `apt-get autoremove --purge`.

[21:00] Traveler0, your best bet is to just use the full path to avoid confusion [21:00] ok so desktop is "Desktop" with a capital D right [21:00] Traveler0, yes [21:00] TY [21:00] my laptop doesn't manage to suspend... instead of turning off, the screen gets totally white... no clue what's happening... is there any way i can find out what [21:00] Traveler0, yes...everything is case sensitive in a linux system [21:00] Unix-like systems are case sensitive. [21:00] *what's the problem? [21:01] need some help with fail2ban [21:01] Hey peeps can anyone help with my problem while installing UBuntu on Windows 7 machine. I am using Wubi btw. [21:01] path to DESKTOp would be "/home/jason/Desktop/" [21:01] I have always enjoyed that. Sometimes it's nice to have multiple files with the same name - File, fIle, fiLe, and filE. [21:01] abys: then ask a question [21:01] This is the exact error I got http://i27.tinypic.com/9tn052.png [21:01] Correct, Traveler0 [21:01] TY [21:02] !ask | abys [21:02] abys: 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. :-) [21:02] got another question... how do i find out what sound library ubuntu is using? i think i have 3 options, pulseaudio / alsa / oss [21:02] !ask | SushiMashi [21:02] SushiMashi: 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. :-) [21:02] I'm running Lucid, and I can't get my microphone to be detected. Halp? [21:02] oke , when i start the fail2ban server , i get an error that fail2ban.sock isnt present [21:02] hey you guys....does ubuntu have something similar to windows disc defrag? or does the ext3 filesystem not need defragging? [21:02] how can i fix it [21:03] SushiMashi, try to run it as administrator [21:03] abys: check the config file for where it wants to create the socket file [21:03] jeremywi, microphones and webcams are kind of an issue with Linux, is it a machine microphone? [21:03] cannonfodder, not needed [21:03] ok [21:03] cannonfodder, ext* systems don't need defragmentation [21:03] thanks you [21:03] !defrag | cannonfodder [21:03] cannonfodder: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [21:03] thats cool [21:03] Yes, it's embedded into the computer. [21:03] SushiMashi, what does the error log file that points to say? (http://paste.ubuntu.com) also, follow ubutom's suggestion [21:03] ubutom: I installed as admin but still the error occurred. [21:03] any amateur radio here ? [21:03] jeremywi, you can lspci to see if it shows up and then try to find a driver for it. [21:03] Slidinghorn: This is all it showed to me http://i27.tinypic.com/9tn052.png [21:03] piju: just ask your real question [21:03] what can one do when "alsactl store" doesn't work and settings do not persist?

[21:04] Hm, SushiMashi then I don't know [21:04] SushiMashi, the error dialog tells you to look @ an error log....what's in the error log? (post it to http://paste.ubuntu.com) [21:04] ljruff: you don't have to give every user !ask after I ask them to ask a question [21:04] nice defrag link [21:04] ljruff: I would fire any programmer who relied on names that differed only in upper/lower case.... [21:04] ikonia, Am I? I'm sorry. I am not really paying attention to what you say. =P [21:05] ljruff: Is this it? "Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)" [21:05] alright one last question.....i installed kate on ubuntu and i think it installed all this kde crap...now i have all these kde proccesses at startup and its slowing my laptop down...i want all this k crap removed, even if it means removing kate...anyone know what i can do? [21:05] Loshki, I'm not 1) A programmer or 2) Working for you or 3) Doing this on any computer other than my own personal machine. [21:05] abys: in /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf does this exist: socket = /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock [21:05] jeremywi, No, that looks like one of your sound controllers. [21:05] Slidinghorn: This is the log file http://paste.ubuntu.com/454103/ [21:06] If I were working for someone else, Loshki, I would follow their conventions. =D [21:06] ljruff: that wasn't really my point: rather, that it's a terribly bad practice that encourages mistakes, that's all... [21:06] cannonfodder: you can re-install your system, or completely remove all kde packages. Decide yourself what takes less time. [21:06] theye socket = /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock [21:06] ljruff: Well, if that's not it, I don't think I see anything. [21:07] hi, ive been having some trouble with my network card and the newest ubuntu... i get really slow speeds when loading webpages and connecting to services. anyway, turned out that disabling ipv6 fixed this. the problem is, i cant find a way to do that in opera... anyone familiar with this issue or opera in general? [21:07] how can i tell what display res im useing my display properties wont load? [21:07] also when i run , it says its unable to read that socket ... [21:07] Loshki, this is off-topic, but to be honest I only do it with temporary or clone files. For example Desktop and dEsktop in which I use one like a Microsoft Briefcase file. === Longhorn|XP is now known as Longhorn [21:07] I don't actually have a thousand files all with spelling variations. It would drive me crazy. [21:07] Loshki: ljruff: that leads nowhere - drop it please [21:08] guntbert: dropped... [21:08] abys: youre starting fail2ban with sudo service fail2ban start or sudo /etc/init.d/fail2ban start ? [21:08] jeremywi, One moment, [21:08] nfuck off [21:08] bastid_raZor: [21:08] with the sudo service [21:08] i hate you [21:08] !language | peturi [21:08] peturi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[21:09] hey you guys....theres all this kde crap starting up on login...i remember something about a blacklist file in ubuntu where i can keep things from starting up...anyone know what its called? the file might work the other way around and list files that it wants started up on login...im not sure, its been a while [21:09] Bastid_raZor: how do i tell what screen res im on with out looking in the display settings [21:10] QUIT [21:10] Here's my log file of the error is anyone wants to help this pooor guy http://paste.ubuntu.com/454103/ [21:10] ljruff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454108/ [21:10] Traveler0: xrandr --query ..the mode you're using will have a * by it [21:10] The Wubi downloaded the whole .iso file but won't install it now [21:10] when i ask for the status -> var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock not readable, status of fail2ban is unknown [21:10] Traveler0: try to start it from command line: gnome-display-properties [21:10] cannonfodder: there is a auto-start program list. There is a gnome GUI for editing this list. Its command is gnome-session-properties [21:11] abys: that appears to be the issue but how to fix it.. i do not know. [21:11] "indicator applet" - how can I have volume control without the mail/twitter/chat icon? [21:12] jeremywi, I do not see it either. = / Unfortunately I have the same issue. [21:12] almien: uninstall notifcation-messages.. i think.. let me verify [21:12] ljruff: Then what is to be done? [21:12] :( i lost 3 hours on this ... maybe there is another way to secure ssh from bruteforce ? [21:12] almien: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9165116&postcount=2 [21:13] jeremywi, Go buy a nice usb driven microphone or microphone/headset setup and enjoy it? I've never really succeeded in getting my microphone working. === charlie is now known as Guest41480 [21:13] Should that work essentially out of the box? [21:13] bastid_raZor, thanks [21:13] Is there a new key when booting Lucid to escape to recovery? Escape doesn't work for me. [21:13] centaur5: hold shift that will get you to a grub menu [21:13] jeremywi, In general, yes sir. I would not buy anything from Microsoft, like their wireless headset. I would get a logitech product. Ideally it should work out-of-the-box. [21:13] almien: glad to help. [21:14] bastid_raZor: Thanks, much appreciated! [21:14] ljruff: And should it detect a microphone that I plug into the microphone jack on the computer? [21:14] bastid_raZor , do you know another way to secure ssh from bruteforce attacks ? [21:14] abys: i use fail2ban. :\ [21:14] almien, bastid_raZor is correct, simply uninstall indicator-messages [21:14] jeremywi, Again that's up in the air. It depends on whether or not your Linux will detect your phone jack. Does it detect your headset jack when you plugin headsets? [21:15] almien: when i did this i had to log out then back in before it took effect. [21:15] bastid_raZor: :) what version of ubuntu you'r using ? [21:15] I am running Ubuntu 10.04. My Ubuntu One will not sync with the server. All of my credentials are showing in the preferences window, but the status reads "Disconnected". The connect button is inactive. Does anyone have a fix? [21:16] ljruff: there is a separate channel #ubuntuone [21:16] Oh, thanks guntbert. I did not know. [21:16] abys: i've had it working on 10.04 and i use it on 9.10 that is dmz'd to the internet [21:16] ljruff: :) [21:17] bastid_raZor: Hmm im also using 10.04 .. but thx for ur time and helping :) [21:17] Hi.

[21:22] ljruff: So is it not going to be able to detect microphones that I plug into the microphone jack?

That will almost certainly work. [21:23] Traveler0, don't ask questions for which you already have the answer [21:23] ???? [21:23] What about iPod headphones that have a microphone in them? I'm trying to avoid buying something new. [21:23] look in system settings , Traveler0 [21:23] anyone know anything about editing the xorg.conf file [21:24] !grub2 [21:24] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [21:24] jeremywi, You can try it.

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [21:35] thanks [21:35] bazhang: Thanks :) [21:35] bazhang: been a while since I've examined ubuntu [21:36] ljruff: thank you [21:36] evaluser, you should check the very nice manual then [21:36] !manual [21:36] 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/ [21:36] I am trying to change the writing speed in gnome-baker from 16x to more, can someone help me find out how I can do this? [21:36] bazhang: Well I'm tired of mandrivas crappy packaging and if I'm going to have to debug for them instead of them figuring out their own product I'm just about ready to leave them. [21:37] evaluser: I've never been a fan of Mandriva Linux... there are reasons. [21:38] evaluser, Synaptic and apt are both very easy to use, stable, and just work well in general. I think the best two systems are apt and yum and the only thing yum has over apt is it may be a bit faster. === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [21:40] bastid_raZor: It looks like its fixd... i changed the route where the socket needs to be and now its running ... strange [21:41] hey guys is there a way to restrict apt to bind to an ip for outgoing connections ?

[21:42] ben72: hold shift after POST [21:42] ben72, try the shift [21:42] thanks I'll try :) [21:43] ljruff, packagemanager speed is usually determined by the repos location , all else being equal [21:43] hi [21:43] BluesKaj, well, I usually use the fastest-mirror plugin when I use yum too, which makes it seem faster. =P [21:43] que hay?

Do a web search for SO_BINDTODEVICE and rp_filter. Why do you need to do this? [21:45] bazhang, but I can't even select the kernel.. hm [21:46] bazhang, I tried holding down left shift key now.. [21:46] dajhorn: some programs do specify a bind/listen to ip. i'm just looking for the same thing for apt [21:46] ben72, what about dropping to a tty and sudo update-grub [21:47] fool__: Daemons yes, but I've rarely seen in in userland programs. [21:47] bazhang, I'll try. I thught the deb with the mainline kernel would do that [21:47] fool__: I don't see anything appropriate in the apt.conf man page. [21:47] ljruff: I think I used apt-get back on a test of Debian but that was many years ago. In general I'm tired of debugging their package manager usage for Mandriva. It's a nice product when it works but all distros have some quirks... but the updating programs aren't something I want quirky. [21:48] I'm having some new problems with my new ubuntu install ... when using screen, crtl+a + space works fine but crtl+a+backspace fails. Anyone have an idea what I need to change or research to get Ubuntu to behave properly? [21:48] dajhorn: thanks [21:48] is it possible to roll back my ubuntu install (in terms of packages i installed that it turns out are useless to me, and that i now want to get rid of but cant remember the name) [21:48] Is it just me, or does window audio apps have cooler names then linux audio apps, I know linux has banshee which is cool, but banshee doesn't work, and I am stuck for what I what I need to do with quod libet, which I don't even know what it means, or what langauge its from, it sounds like giberish. [21:48] fool__: Welcome. [21:48] evaluser, We have an off-topic room for this (#ubuntu-offtopic). But, in answer to your comment real quick - I think the only quirks about Ubuntu I dislike is that it tries to please everyone. [21:49] pepper_haze, Rhythmbox, Amarok - those are cool names. [21:49] windows has all those cool audio players with the names like amp and stuff, its like having a virtual amp on your computer [21:49] ljruff, rhythmbox isn't a cool name [21:50] !ot | pepper_haze [21:50] pepper_haze: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I'd like to pull just the top story headline text from http://news.bbc.co.uk/ i have curl -s "http://news.bbc.co.uk/" | sed 's|.*.*|\1|' so far, doesn't work [21:51] ljruff: Horizontal and Vertical scroll is what I'm most interested in... those are considered buttons by evdev [21:52] evaluser, yes, I know those are buttons - yet I do not have them, as i said. =) [21:52] ljruff: last time I tried ubuntu I lost my ability to scroll. [21:52] sorry ljruff, I thought I was in ubuntu-offtopicc [21:52] ljruff: Alright... *sends you a mouse* ;) [21:52] bazhang, thanks! update-grub2 seems to have fixed it. I got into the menu now :) [21:52] ben72, nice work [21:53] bazhang, now if I could only get the device to appear as a /dev/ttyUSB* :) [21:54] #leave ubuntu [21:54] rascal999: The BBC publishes an RSS feed.

[21:56] bazhang, and yes it works it works! something wrong with the default kernel.. [21:57] any ideas on why the screen would go black when booting with 2 Nvidia video cards? [21:57] The project does not contain all necessary Video DVD files. [21:57] The resulting DVD will most likely not be playablle on a hifi DVD Player [21:57] Could not determine size of resulting image file. [21:57] k3b wouldn't burn a movie I have. [21:58] Bob3: Did one video card work properly on this computer? [21:58] mektawik: sorry, wrong ncik [21:58] Bob3, I would guess that it's continuing the boot on the other screen. Do you have both monitors on and working? [21:58] steve__: you need to restart ssh after making changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config [21:58] anyone know how to get software to install even if it's from an untrusted source? [21:58] Bob3, you probly have to make one card the default , especially if they use different drivers [21:59] hello [21:59] dajhorn, I haven't tried removing one of the cards yet [21:59] what package to install if I want kmail to speak hungarian?

I have setup on the client some options in ssh_config that include Remote port forwarding. For some reason it wont setup the forwarding from there but will do so correctly from the command line when it is called. There are no useful messages when using the -v on the command line. Nothing shows up on netstat [22:00] BluesKaj, is there something I can append to the kernel in grub? [22:00] k3b fails I guess to convert anything to DVD. [22:00] Speakers: k3b is not supposed to convert things.. just burn them. use devede to convert then k3b to burn [22:00] I have devede [22:00] I guess I'll try removing one of the video cards...I'm going to bring up IRC on my laptop while I do that [22:00] have no idea how to use it bastid_raZor [22:01] bastid_raZor, Sorry Missed that, I havent made any changes to sshd_config on the server. it is all client side config changes i am making. [22:01] Speakers: you don't know how to use devede? [22:01] no, it doesn't show up on my system under Sound and Video [22:01] lisa__, I have 3 monitors...so all but one of my ports are being used [22:01] Speakers: type devede in a terminal and the gui will start [22:01] lisa__, I turned them all on, and also tried moving one to thempty port...no luck [22:01] I see [22:01] I'll see what removing the secodn card does [22:02] Bob3, I recall using the BIOS to choose which card, but in my case one was onboard and the other was pci , so i chose the pci which was the better card of course [22:02] bastid_raZor, Strangely it works perfectly when configured over the command line. And the syntax seems correct based on documentation and examples i have found on the net [22:02] ah thank you bastid_raZor [22:02] BluesKaj, ah [22:02] steve__: what are you trying to accomplish? [22:02] Speakers: sure, the menus should update, if not they will on a relog [22:03] does it take long to convert a 700MB file? [22:03] to DVD? [22:03] bastid_raZor, to automate the setting up of port forwarding when connecting to the host from my ssh client. [22:04] Speakers: for my desktop on a 32bit install it takes about an hour. pentium D 3GHz processor [22:04] bastid_raZor, k3b can convert files if one enables the plugin [22:04] ljruff: What about developer support packages?... I actually compile a lot of my own binaries and I don't want that to be missing [22:04] Never heard of Pentium D. [22:04] 4 is all I've heard of [22:04] I'm on a 2.6Ghz [22:04] bastid_raZor, The config options are generally working fine as I have demonstrated with other options in ssh_config. Its only the RemoteForward option that I am having problems with.. [22:05] I have two laptops, one only has ethernet. I want to connect the laptops with the ethernet cable, and use the wireless on the second laptop for BOTH to access the internet... Know how? [22:05] Speakers: Pentium D chip is just a lower vcore [22:05] evaluser, You'll need to ask someone else. I don't know very much about that. =P [22:06] lisa__, http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCIQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubuntugeek.com%2Fsharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html&ei=LHciTJOSCYG0lQfb-o34BA&usg=AFQjCNHuUFT-WkAzf60YdNnfr6rbQMMddA&sig2=vP64r-ISGulFE9-8I39jtA [22:06] hi! [22:06] !hi | cheater99 [22:06] cheater99: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [22:06] Thanks SlidingHorn! [22:06] does anyone know how to style/skin the notification popups? [22:06] the ones i get are black with rounded corners but i've seen people on the net with a different design, and i wonder how to switch that [22:07] the other design had a gray background with a blue bar to the side [22:07] cheater99, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=564399 [22:09] oh, let me try that [22:09] steve__: i don't see a 'RemoteForward' option in ssh_config or sshd_config [22:10] can someone find me the xorg.conf for a radeon Card [22:11] how do i change this to display only the first headline? http://pastebin.com/BJhf9Qn3 [22:11] SlidingHorn: do you know if there are any custom skins to get anywhere? [22:11] I'm sure there are...no clue where to find them...found that link on google after a search for: ubuntu notification popup style [22:12] LOL amd iso for 64bit... I don't think so... Does ubuntu have an intel 64 bit iso? [22:12] bastid_raZor, thanks for the help! It is recognised my ssh and using the verbose option shows that it attempts to setup the port forwarding. See http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config [22:12] evaluser: same difference. amd64 works for any 64bit arch [22:12] sudo gem update --system gives me "gem update --system is disabled on Debian. RubyGems can be updated using the official Debian repositories by aptitude or apt-get." but as we all know the packages are always hopelessly out of date. What's the deal FORCING people to use the prepackaged libs? Do you also disable CPAN? [22:12] could someone recommend me an application to deal with podcasts in ubuntu? [22:13] bastid_raZor: I'll take your word for it but the instruction set isn't 100% compatible between AMD and Intel... and I'll be losing some Intel specific features. [22:13] cesc, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127750 [22:13] SlidingHorn: thanks, i searched around for a couple hours (!) but didn't find that forum post :D [22:13] this is so stupid, when i start an application through terminal, if i exit out of terminal, then the application closes as well [22:13] thanks SlidingHorn [22:14] ddrj -- that's the way it works I think on any system. You can try Alt+F2 to run the app [22:14] Counterspell: you can't update rubygems that way because it would lead to inconsistancies in the package manager, it is generally a better idea to install rubygems from source, if you need the latest gems [22:14] steve__: nice article. [22:14] is there an applet that tracks missed notify notifications? [22:15] SlidingHorn, ahhhh, let me try that [22:15] ddrj easy, type: "nautilus &' and nautilus will work independently [22:15] Is it possible to turn off the joined/disconnected messages? [22:15] imi: probably language-pack-kde-hu [22:15] Another silly question does ubuntu use gnome as the wdm still ... e.g. is there still kubuntu vs ubuntu ? [22:15] (in Empathy) [22:15] evaluser, kubuntu uses kde4 [22:16] I've recently installed a theme that relies on the gtk2-murrine package, and since then I cannot change the background of gnome without a forkbomb occuring and opening a ton of File Explorer threads. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I really don't know how the problem started. [22:16] bazhang: I can use either KDE is usually a pig though but it's easier for most of the ppl that I recommend Nix to. Thanks. [22:16] trism, then the system is broken. people need to be able to use gem to install things. just like CPAN... [22:17] Oer, thanks for the nautilus suggestion [22:18] ddrj: if you exit the terminal by typing "exit" the app shouldn't stop.. if you press the X to close the window it will close though [22:19] Counterspell: it is not broken, if that were allowed, the package manager would install version x, then rubygems could update itself to version y, but the package manager has no way of knowing that, or what new files it may have installed. Now it would be better if the rubygems package was updated more frequently, but that is a different issue [22:19] I've recently installed a theme that relies on the gtk2-murrine package, and since then I cannot change the background of gnome without a forkbomb occuring and opening a ton of File Explorer threads. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I really don't know how the problem started. [22:19] Slart, you can't exit out of the terminal if you run the app using only its command...the prompt will be gone until the app is closed [22:19] ddrj: when you type "exit" it reassigns the parent for the processes that run in the terminl, if I understand things correctly.. the X just kills things [22:19] !patience | darklust [22:19] darklust: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [22:19] SlidingHorn: not if you use & after the command [22:19] Slart, ahhhh, i've been x'ing out instead of typing exit, hm... weird, i just typed exit and nothing happens [22:20] trism, if someone installs a specific gem then they should know what they are doing and deal with any problems that may come up. people who install gems are typically developers... [22:20] slart: hence the "using only its command" [22:20] SlidingHorn: ah, yes.. correct [22:21] Counterspell: yes, you can update your gems, you just can't update rubygems itself. The problem that you may need a new rubygems for a new gem version is a different issue (and I agree with you, which is why you should install rubygems from source and not from the package manager if you need the latest gems) [22:21] Thanks everyone for the quick answers... need to free up bandwidth now. [22:21] trism, i see, thanks [22:24] Does anybody know how to make the prompt go away that comes up when I try and close a terminal? [22:24] Okay so, I fixed my Ubuntu yesterday [22:24] And now it's broken again [22:25] I only get to an underline blinking [22:25] repsol: have you tried gconf-editor, in apps, gnome-terminal, global there's a key called "confirm_window_close" [22:25] sweet thanks [22:26] When I try to run recovery mode from grub, I only get to the point where it mentions something about shared and non-shared things [22:27] Then it stops, and nothing happens [22:28] please someone please tell me how to make it support my monitors native res [22:28] Slart, I found it thanks you rock!!

'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.. however, every attempt _after_ this initial failure works. Always. [22:29] toader: run ls in the ssh terminal? or you meant from a script?

[22:44] i don't know where to find the configuration file, i'm sure it has the incorrect partition, so it looks for windows in the wrong place.

[23:37] I've got an Ubuntu desktop with a brand-new blank, unpartitioned 1TB drive. I want to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu on this new drive. What's best, doing this with the USB key method or partitioning the new drive from here? [23:38] can i just use "usermod -l login-name old-name" that command to change my username? [23:38] (and then installing Ubuntu on the new drive from here, making it bootable, etc) [23:38] pcp, I think it needs to be something like "iface wlan1 down" [23:39] pcp, maybe it's "iface wlan1 manual" [23:39] "down" [23:39] Bob3, let me try that [23:39] k [23:40] aganice: hah. i'll go poke the relevant people [23:40] rww, nice thanks! [23:40] pcp, I'm not expert at the /etc/network/interfaces file...man interfaces might help [23:40] OK, this random battery bug is DRIVING ME MAD! And it looks as though developers aren't taking it seriously or even considering that it's a confirmed bug [23:40] Bob3, ty [23:40] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621435 [23:40] hi, anybody having problems installing the 10.6 catalyst driver on lucid ? [23:41] Bob3, i will look at more doc [23:41] Bob3, just wanted to make sure i was on the right way [23:41] pcp, np..glad I could be of assistance [23:41] sure [23:41] Bob3, since first attempts with /network/interfaces didnt work [23:41] Bob3, ty [23:41] yw [23:42] Hi. trying to sus out a problem we're working on using openacs, and we're trying to change the user aolserver runs as [23:42] anyone in here using an acer netbook/laptop with ubuntu and liking it? [23:43] wait, just had a thought [23:43] willwork4foo: All bug reports start out unconfirmed, it's not that developers are ignoring it but rather likely just that nobody has had the chance to review it at all. [23:44] Jordan_U, fair enough... was it you who suggested that a bit of hackery might resolve the issue when I was asking about it the other day? [23:45] willwork4foo: No. [23:46] fair enough [23:47] on the netbook remix, when you are installing one of the options is to require a password while logging in to also decrypt the home folder, i'd like to do this but does having your homefoler encrypted/decrypted make it any slower or is it the same once decrypted? [23:48] clayg, it's pretty transparent [23:48] clayg, I use it, and I honestly don't notice any slowdown. YMMV - I run an N450 processor with 2GB of RAM [23:49] nice willwork4foo , i actually just bought netbooks with that processor [23:49] one a dell mini 10 and the other today, an acer netbook, both running ubuntu [23:49] clayg, I have a rebranded Acer Aspire One (rebranded as an eMachines 350) [23:49] returning the dell (with ubuntu) [23:49] willwork4foo, you mind if i /msg you? [23:50] it works like a dream - with the exception of the built-in mic being rubbish and not working [23:50] clayg, sure [23:51] * Mike- is away (zegnam) === Mike- is now known as out`Mike- [23:55] how do I connect to my local ssh server? (without doing "ssh localhost") [23:55] when running the ubuntu openacs, how do you set or change the user that runs aolserver4? [23:56] happyface, ssh "$HOSTNAME" [23:56] unop: I mean not through the ssh interface, but set my terminal to view the ssh tty or something [23:57] hey,my wlan doesnt work .. im on an LG e500 and cant get it back. any ideas? [23:58] Q. Synaptic package manager lists openoffice.org as unchecked when it's installed. How do I correct this? [23:58] happyface, i don't think i understand this question. you want to monitor or interact with an already running ssh session?? [23:58] doyle: the default install doenst include *all* of OOo, such as the database program. if you check that box, itll install the rest of it [23:59] maco: ok thanks [23:59] how do I run a user script at boot time? [23:59] maco: there are a lot of components of openoffice installed. How can I clean everything ooo off at once?
