[01:14] Guest54446 no joy [01:14] :-( === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:15] Joshua_Roberts_,the command to upgrade one's sources.list is , sudo sed -i 's/karmic/lucid/' /etc/apt/sources.list , but be sure to remove any ppas first === gravy2 is now known as gravy [01:16] Joshua_Roberts_, but you'll be upgrading your whole OS if do sudo apt-get update , afterwards [01:17] BluesKaj: So, I was looking at my disk layout, and... the swap partition is at the *end* of the disk. [01:17] BluesKaj: If I understand this properly, this means I won't be able to shrink swap and grow root. [01:18] BluesKaj, I already am in lucid, I am trying to install Doomsday which only has karmic repositories. I am having an issue with keyring. It says it can't find it when I use 'sudo apt-get install kees-archive-keyring' which I copied from the game install site. [01:18] puff that's normal , of course you can shrink your swap [01:19] does ctrl-alt-backspace no longer work? [01:19] wasnt pitivi part of ubuntu now? or do i have to installit? [01:19] clayg: not by default [01:19] puff: use a live cd, delete the swap, grow the root, add new swap to fill space [01:19] BluesKaj: Shrinking the swap wasn't the goal, growing root was the goal. [01:19] clayg, it's been depacrated [01:19] clcto, how do you enable it? [01:19] !dontzap [01:19] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [01:20] BluesKaj: Maybe I'm misremebmernig this, but last I read about partitioning, the problem was/is that to partitions had to be contiguous chunks of disk. [01:20] BluesKaj, you have solutions for this? [01:20] BluesKaj: Is that incorrect? [01:20] puff, well how else were doing to make room ? I would delete the swap first then increase the root to 2 g larger then rename the remaining 2g as swap [01:20] guest54446: even a full system restart doesn't fix it [01:21] BluesKaj: You didn't answer my question... [01:21] guest54446: even a full system restart doesn't fix it <-- looks like windows debugging :P [01:22] Buenas noches [01:22] :-p better suggestion? [01:22] BluesKaj: If the disk's layotu is root 5GB / home 10GB / bulk 30GB / swap 4 GB, and partitions have to be internally continguous, then I can't grow root by simply shrinking swap. I have to shift everything further down the disk. === Edmund is now known as StLemur [01:22] hello to everybody [01:22] sorry about that i lost that info, how do you enable the ctrl-alt-backsdpace xkill?

[01:41] cs_: not really a line ... but yet [01:41] cs_: not really a line ... but yes * [01:41] haha ok [01:41] blueskaj: yes, my concern is that the installer is running off the disk (and not in ram). therefore, if i pick an option to erase the entire disk, i will hose the installation. [01:41] lets say i' [01:42] i'd like to reformat but keep the same installed programs, what is the command to save the setting files or what is the best way?

[01:52] I'll try that === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [01:53] I would really appriate some help, i think this could be an easy fix for someone with knowlege [01:53] inductiveload, go to synaptic and select completely remove [01:53] MindVirus: what if you copy the file over to the HD and retry Rhythmbox? maybe is an iPod access issue [01:53] is there any safe way to downgrade from 10.10 to 10.04 [01:53] ?? [01:53] gevera: clean install [01:53] inductiveload, dont know if that will help though [01:53] gevera: just reinstall :) [01:54] what about all the date and software? [01:54] !downgrade | gevera [01:54] ok doing it now [01:54] gevera: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [01:54] abetterswordfish: mayby you should just ask the question, and someone will answer you if they know. [01:54] Kk [01:55] gevera: join #ubuntu+1 and maybe someone there can help you with whatever issue you are having [01:55] i'd like to reformat but keep the same installed programs, what is the command to save the setting files or what is the best way? [01:55] I am using conky, but atm the temp info is a bit close to the network info how can i increase the spacing? [01:55] thanks [01:55] using the lucid links config [01:55] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/easy-to-use-lucid-themed-conky-bar.html [01:55] hi. i activated a proprietary graphics and wireless driver on my system, and it displays "This driver is activated but not currently in use." for both of them. what do ive to do to actually use them? [01:55] clayg: backing up your ~ folder [01:56] how do I stop empathy from scrolling to the end all the time, i am trying to read old messages, very annoying [01:56] Typos_King: It works, but rarely. [01:56] Typos_King: So, the iPod is allowing access sometimes but not every time? [01:56] I am using conky, but atm the temp info is a bit close to the network info how can i increase the spacing? [01:57] Typos_King, there was another way b ut i didn't record it , either a program or some command that sort of saved a list of the programs you had and made reinstalling them extremely easy, are you familiar with that other way? [01:57] jvm_: you have effects turned on in System > Prefs > appearance? [01:57] MindVirus: The file may or may not have been corrupted, you haven't checked. It's not like I'm asking you to perform brain surgery or get a second mortgage on your house. Check. [01:57] MindVirus: thereabouts I'd think, not sure, I've heard from someone using iTunes that you can put files in, but can't get them back out, or it won't allow access, it'll only play, not sure how true that claim is [01:58] guest54446: it still didn't work , just messed everything up again, and caused the same lack of window title bars and being able to do anytihng, then the problem came back when i reinstalled [01:58] Typos_King: That claim is true; you cannot copy music back from iTunes. That being said, that is only iTunes, because it is shitty software. [01:58] Typos_King: That has nothing to do with the problem at hand. [01:58] puff: How many files do you think I'm working with? [01:58] puff: Like 2? [01:58] I think that I am going to give up on playing doom for linux... [01:58] puff: Here, I'll play a local file. [01:59] inductiveload, maybe replace metacity with xfwm4 [01:59] puff: It's just that I know that isn't the problem. [01:59] MindVirus: then it may just be a Rhythmbox access issue, maybe if your reinstall it, it clears out any dependencies discrepancies [01:59] Typos_King: iTunes keeps all the files in a xml format... with randomly generated hashes for the coresponding file,author etc [01:59] Joshua_Roberts: it works extremely well in DOSBox [01:59] Typos_King: If there are dependency discrepancies, updating my computer (which I do like hourly) would tell me. [01:59] I would really like some help editting a conky config file [01:59] so i remove metacity and install xfwm4? anything else to do? [01:59] updating a machine every hour? goodness [02:00] inductiveload, pretty much that might help [02:00] puff: Playing a local file does the same thing. [02:00] Im not sure how to add spaces into conky [02:00] It's a sound driver issue, puff. [02:00] Typos_King, MindVirus: As far as itunes, ipods, etc, yeah, when you put music on an ipod, ituens renames the file, possibly reencodes it, and extracts the track details and adds them to a database file on the ipod. it's possible to extract music files back out, but you usually use a special script/tool to do it. [02:00] MindVirus: thats not exactly a good thing [02:00] dominicdinada: You'd think, eh? [02:00] MindVirus: I'd not count on that for files integrity checks per se [02:00] Typos_King, MindVirus: Though I would assume that you could use an id3 tag tool to do the same, by hand. [02:00] puff: Or just any other iPod management software other than iTunes. [02:00] puff: it doesnt alter the file persay just the filenames to random generated strings [02:00] Typos_King: You told me to reinstall Rhythmbox.... [02:01] MindVirus: That's what "special script/tool" means :-). I.e. not "cp" [02:01] dominicdinada: nope, it can also reencode th efile. [02:01] puff: cp will still work; you just won't know what file you're downloading. [02:01] dominicdinada: Depending on a number of factors. === kev is now known as Guest46713 [02:01] puff: it does not reencode the file though [02:01] guest54446: will it take over automatically? or do i need to change something? [02:01] dominicdinada: Believe that if you like. [02:01] MindVirus: yes, no relying on your upgrade madness as dependable for any files issues [02:01] puff: It does not. [02:01] Exavion, but I don't know that my machine has enough power to run DOSBox... [02:01] MindVirus: Believe that if you like. === Guest46713 is now known as Lon3sword [02:02] puff: No, you believe what you like. [02:02] MindVirus: I believe what I know :-0. [02:02] is there any way I can force windows to not start positioned in a corner? [02:02] launchpad is always overloaded [02:02] Exavion, at least not well.. games always seem to run slow [02:02] puff: Ahh, so you know because you know but I believe because I believe. Got it. [02:02] puff: I just backed up someones 177gig library to a network drive. I have no crappy A itunes and am able to play every file. Video,Mp3 that i randomly tried [02:02] puff: Check the gpod source. [02:02] MindVirus: Though I do not have _first_ hand experience, I wasn't the embedded programmer on tha team. [02:02] puff: And that has nothing to do with it either. [02:02] It's about the software. [02:03] The iPod has an embedded MP3 decoder chip as well as AAC. [02:03] Any MP3 will work. [02:03] MindVirus: maybe your ipod is going south, dunno, I've had mp3 players go down on me like that, errors when copying files, disk full when not, and after a few usb plugs in/out, kaput [02:03] Therefore it has not re-encoded the file, Furthermore it really is unlawful to do so seeing as when you purchase the song it is yours to do what you want with it [02:03] OK. [02:03] dominicdinada: I didn't say that it *will* renecode the file, just that it may. [02:03] Here, let me help. [02:03] Joshua_Roberts: Have you tried? It uses fairly little resources, both CPU and RAM wise, and obviously HD wise.. it runs some games better than their native linux ports [02:03] The problem is with my sound drivers. [02:03] Someone please assist. [02:03] puff: wrong again [02:03] MindVirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:03] dominicdinada: Right again. [02:03] anyone ever get a webcam to work in stickam? [02:04] Look, let me boil it down for you; I spent a couple years of my life worknig on a hardware product that wrote media files to ipods. [02:04] puff: What's it called? [02:04] One of the huge pains in the ass that I had to listen to the embedded guys talk about, again and again, was this problem. [02:04] MindVirus: Although when the mp3 format first came out long long ago i used it to rip and encode my cd's and i have a large amount of music that would not work on my ipod when i had it. This predated the Digital Music Rights signing/Act days [02:05] dominicdinada: I see. [02:05] puff: Do not PM without permission. It is rude. [02:05] hehhe [02:05] /invite MindVirus #anger_management [02:05] MindVirus: ? first i've heard that one. [02:05] just ignore puff... he needs to read a book or get clued in [02:05] * Typos_King ducks [02:06] Typos_King: ...? [02:06] Lol typo [02:06] Typos_King: It is rude. [02:06] Isn't it, everyone who gets PMed without permission? [02:06] ok, did it, and it broke again without metacity [02:06] Oh well, my crowd isn't very talkative today. [02:06] inductiveload, do u have xfwm4 installed [02:06] Almost nobody does it anymore without first asking [02:06] I just need to fix my sound drivers. [02:06] yes [02:07] inductiveload, is metacity still installed [02:07] it is now, because it breaks everything if it isn't [02:07] MindVirus: is no rather appropriate, but there are better etiquettes to explain such with one coming across as rude just as well [02:07] ok try killall metacity && xfwm4 [02:07] hello people [02:07] s/with/without [02:07] Asking permission for anything has been a taboo for a decade. Children these days just take. [02:08] I just installed the new ubuntu and need some help [02:08] guest54446: ok that works [02:08] DragonRose: Agreed this is not the IRC of the late 80s [02:08] DragonRose: I don't disagree is inappropriate, but the way he's pointing that out, isn't really a hell lot better either [02:08] but will it stay that way when i restart?

How would i do that? [02:28] you may even have a hardware error [02:28] jose: entering multiple lines consecutively like you were doing. Just type your question or messages on one line. [02:28] can I somehow make my kmail not to use winebrowser but firefox? [02:28] imi: did you want to see the line from /var/log/messages? [02:29] How can I config a user only for SSH tunnel usage?

[02:32] look at the timestamps at the beginning of the lines [02:32] your machine went on more than a hour after the crash [02:33] Right [02:33] Anywhere else to start looking? [02:33] hmm.. I just had empathy crash but nothing appears in /var/crash ? [02:33] is there something I have to turn on? [02:33] jose are you creating the media from an iso or putting the iso on the media? [02:34] just buring an iso [02:34] using what tool? [02:34] cdrw astroburn [02:34] and what OS are you burning from? [02:34] phuzion: I don't know... i've seen several crashes where the syslogd wasn't able to write the causes to hdd. if it's a usual thing, maybe you should do a memtest [02:34] jose have you verified the image(s)? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [02:34] if it hapened once maybe you can ignore it [02:35] imi: problem: It's a rented server, so I can't necessarily do memtests very easily [02:35] there's also tools to debug the kernel, but it's even harder [02:35] win xp to make a laptop that had win xp work it die n yea llols it happens with anything i try to burn other [02:35] imi: not exactly a one time thing, it's happened a few times in the past [02:35] ops nn same thing [02:35] jose: try imgburn [02:35] and set your write speed to the lowest it will go [02:35] and have the program do a verify at the end [02:35] yea i did [02:35] yea [02:35] phuzion: if it's a rented server, then go ahead and report it to the company providing your server [02:35] exaxclyy [02:36] imi: I don't know that it's hardware, though. And I [02:36] it says [02:36] or you could do a find / -type f and see it is a harddrive issue [02:36] imi: I don't know that it's hardware, though. And I'm responsible for the software. [02:36] !keyserver [02:36] The ubuntu key server is to be found at http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371. If this one is unresponsive you can use most other gpg key servers as well - for instance http://pgp.mit.edu/ [02:36] boolean: what does that do? [02:36] Sigh, the keyserver is down [02:37] phuzion: maybe you can ask [02:37] yea i think it is cause all ma discks work on any other pc jsut not on this lap top btw this laptop has no op it used to be winxp [02:37] basically it will list every file on screen thus modifying the meta-data thus access the file [02:37] if anything wierd popus from find(1) it might be sometbing [02:37] like a corrupt fs instead [02:37] I'd better like to run a memtest here or have someone to see the machine [02:37] the syslogd does write to a file [02:38] and since you are getting no logs, it might be that [02:38] I have logs, it's just that the system is crashing without generating any useful data [02:38] At least on the crash side of things. When it boots back up, it logs dutifully. [02:38] there is an option when one builds the kernel ( and it could be a module and you might be able to compile just that ) [02:39] thing is ma lap top has [02:39] Hi all! There's a pushd command and a popd command, but what about a command to swap the current and stacked directory (swapd?) [02:39] been able to [02:39] what this module does is take a dump of the kernel and memory and write a file for it [02:39] hi I need some help with an issue I am facing while trying to install b43legacy driver [02:39] the thing is that ma lap top has been able to run bootable discks [02:39] you could examine that on the reboot [02:39] If I use an encrypted hardrive, can I still serve a web page from it or would that be fail> [02:39] I am booting from live CD [02:40] p1l0t_: that should work, as long as the hard drive is decrypted when you wish to serve the page. [02:40] i can boot falcon 4 just fine min xp but i want something i can save on the hard drive nn not have all the booting stuff [02:40] i believe you can use gdb(1) to examine it ... might be a process causing it [02:41] p1l0t, the httpd server would request the file (which the OS would decrypt) and transmit it to the client. [02:41] dsnyders: check the abs guide and other bash guides -I seem tor ecall such a thing.. but cant recall ever using it. [02:41] phuzion, dsnyders, thanks [02:41] dsnyders: you can cd /foo then Somthing to just cd back to where you where at.. [02:41] how do i set the account "guest" auto logout after inactive like 5 min ?

[02:44] How do I install man pages for cd? [02:44] !pastebinit | Vin73 [02:44] Vin73: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:44] ok thanks [02:44] Vin73: i should mention that any file you create when using a live cd will disappear on the next reboot, unless you are writing them directly to the harddrive [02:44] dsnyders: many bash commands are 'bash built in' commands - and dont have man pages. Check the bash docs, and guides for info on them [02:45] yea i wanna know how to make ma laptop save puppy linux [02:45] dsnyders: help cd [02:45] ok boolean thqnkw for the info...I will try and post the log....

[02:45] i did thoo thnaks [02:45] allot [02:45] Vin73: kewl ... i like logs :) [02:46] boolean: yeah I can really have some fun with this one [02:46] i reall wanna learn allot bout pcss n stuff ive learned allout i though i knew ma way around lols i could fix any pc with the rcoevrdiscs but now this all maeks me see how much there is too learn [02:46] dsnyders: also, according to help pushd, pushd with no arguments may be what you want for swapd (it swaps the top two directories on the stack), I may misunderstand what you want though [02:46] anyone create mp4 streams with mplayer and MP4Box ? i need to use MP4Box to hint the resulting mp4 so it can be streamed, but MP4Box crashes when i do the encoding with mplayer. if i use mplayer to spit out y4m video and wav audio, use faac and x264 to encode, and then MP4Box to put back together no segfault, but the audio sync is way off. trying to make streaming android videos [02:46] * boolean is playing with Zimbra on a 8.04 server [02:46] trism_, I didn't know the help command existed. However, it doesn't provide enough help in this case nothing on cd - [02:47] jose: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [02:47] which is an exchange system but for linux [02:47] jose: and puppylinux in many is not a good 'linux' to 'learn linux from' it has way too many of its own quirks. I suggest sticking with normal 'ubuntu' [02:47] boolean: please share the complete command with me for pastebinit..the log file is /var/log/jockey.log [02:47] Please, please, please tell me this is a joke? There's no longer a manual location box in nautilus? [02:47] really nice features all running on OSS [02:47] trism_, pushd by itself may be exactly what I'm looking for. [02:47] magn3ts: hit ctrl-l or / [02:47] jfc [02:47] magn3ts: and you can turn it on permently by some gconf tweak. [02:47] thanks [02:47] of course [02:47] I do have a question for you. Remember i asked you about the book on network administration. And u recommended me oreilly books first i bought that book but while i was reading the book i saw that the topics of the book were not explained in detail. For example ifconfig output was not upto the mark. [02:47] thanks for the tip [02:47] boolean: hello [02:47] magn3ts: been that way for.. err.. ages. :) [02:47] dsnyders: really? odd, this is what I get for help cd http://pastebin.com/kjnbW1aV [02:48] there was a button in 9.10 :P [02:48] o okk ill try ubount anagn is there any link that for a fact the download will be good [02:48] magn3ts: yes. the button has been removed. but not the feature. ctrl-l has worked for ages.

[02:48] boolean: nothing from find showed up weird [02:48] Dr_Willis, ah I see [02:49] magn3ts: i find the little 'pathbar' thing so annoying - i niormally enable the normal address bar. and leave it always on [02:49] phuzion: do a dmesg and the last few lines might reveal something .. [02:50] does any one have a toshiba tecra a1 [02:50] sometimes the kernel captures something that the find(1) process might miss/ [02:50] red2kic: that does not work...I am booting from a live CD and apt-get fails for pastebinit with the error no package [02:50] Vin73: 'sudo apt-get update' then try 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' [02:51] Dr_wills: OK [02:51] if the apt-get actually tells what file it is trying to get ... do a google search for it and dl it from there [02:51] Its also possibkle with a live cd. you can run out of ram :) [02:51] does any one have have toshiba tecra a1 [02:51] trism_, I just gave pushd with no arguments a whirl. It does exactly what I was looking for. Oh, and with the help cd, I get the same info, which has nothing about the cd - command that Dr_Willis was mentioning, just cd -L and cd -P [02:51] one reason i always make swap partitions on all my hd's - for the live cd's top uise [02:52] live cd will use a swap partition if it finds one ? [02:52] boolean: http://pastebin.com/2e4Gd4d0 could you take a look at that and see if you find anything fishy? [02:52] Dr_Willis, swap partitions on each drive... that's not a bad idea. [02:52] dsnyders: cd - is proberly a 'shortcut' to some other 'default' argument. like 'su -' is shortcut for 'sudo -u root' (i think) or some other cases.. [02:52] dsnyders: yep. always omne at the end of every hd on every system i make. saved my backside a few times [02:52] phuzion: k [02:53] dsnyders: even wiondows machines.. get one. :) [02:53] thank yew every one [02:53] and if any one has time to try to teach any thing to a guy who is new to this jluis987@gmail.com thats ma email [02:54] !repeat | jose [02:54] jose: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[02:55] jose: read and play [02:55] I'm trying to add a PPA to my system (Ubuntu 10.04) Where do I put the signing key? [02:55] jose: pick something you want to try with your ubuntu and play with it [02:55] Dr_Willis: hello [02:56] julian_: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:Dr_Willis" for an example. [02:56] boolean: high traffic server, wouldn't surprise me [02:56] boolean: then again, is that abnormal to have that many? [02:56] julian_: That'll add PPA + Signing Key in one swoop command. [02:56] julian_: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa name" and it should be added automatically [02:56] boolean, good advice. Too bad jose left before you provided it. [02:57] red2kic, I did that, but I'm getting an HTTP fetch error 7...couldn't connect to host. [02:57] #ubuntubrasil-orkut [02:57] anybody: when you set up apache2 server can people see it from the internet or just your intra net? [02:57] phuzion: dunno ... could have happened overtime or with one given connection [02:57] no time stamp :P [02:57] mekos: depends on how you set it up - both are possible [02:57] mekos: depends on your network setup [02:58] Another error I'm getting is "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found." [02:58] if you want to have it accessible over the internet, you would probably have to set up port forwarding [02:58] mekos, By default I think anyone who has tcpip access to your machine will see it. [02:58] mekos: it sounds like you are behind firewall with your own LAN ... only people on the same LAN with you can see it === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [02:59] Hi ...

[03:00] yillkid: u will need to ensure that the shell script is within that chrooted dir [03:00] That' no problem for excuting my_shll, but I can't chroot to the target_mount_point [03:00] viva england n german :D [03:00] Vin73: u r on a live cd ... wont work [03:01] boolean: Yes, I am sure, the script is excuting sucesslly, but I ust can't chroot to the target.

[03:02] mekos: You will have to make sure apache2 is setup to listen on port 80 for all IPs (*:80) and that port 80 is forwarded through your router to your computer. [03:02] Vin73: cut and paste to channel.... but i think the max is 5 and most people wont like it [03:02] boolean: thanks, was afraid of that... p1|0t: alrighty, will check on that [03:03] boolean: I will try and paste only the particular line....

[03:03] mekos: yeah boolean makes a good point you may have to do some creative work to get around port 80 being blocked by your isp... like dyndns with a different port [03:04] yillkid: then your chroot worked! [03:04] boolean: the script have run, but I still int the host . [03:04] p1|0t: ok, maybe just sack it - too tired [03:04] if the dir structures are different, you are in your chroot jail ...

If it is just open a dyndns account and have one forward a different port [03:05] then do an ls -l file.tmp [03:05] mekos: is it working on your lan? [03:05] mekos: oh yeah one computer right.. [03:06] p1|0t: yes [03:06] but do your chroot in a sub dir of where file.tmp is [03:06] then do the ls -l file.tmp [03:06] boolean: Sorry, the shell must run in the target.

[03:46] So, I just got a Asus K42JV at work. Ubuntu runs abysmally on it. I had a Dell Studio XPS 16 which at first Ubuntu ran terribly, but things gained support over time.... took about 2 years of course. One detail that pretty much sucked from the day I got that machine was the ATI graphics. So we bought this laptop which has Nvidia, which has pretty good reputation on linux and we want to do GPGPU stuff... never realized how hit-or-mi === hotfloppy1 is now known as hotfloppy [03:46] ignores notmorewindows for being a rude & ignorant punk [03:47] rmr----how about you tell us the actual problem you're having instead of ranting? [03:47] rww 1) read the messages, 2) the best advice a newbie can learn is to google stuff first. why should people here giving their time to help have to google stuff for people? Anyway, recommendation noted [03:47] rmrfslash, /j #opencl [03:48] how do I mount a network drive in linux from command line [03:48] codebrainz: Telling people to "Google It" is not acceptable behavior here, as stated in the factoid. Please don't do it here. [03:48] !google [03:48] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [03:48] hi, i'm on lucid and installed pidgin.. every time i sign into yahoo it crashes any ideas? [03:48] Problem? I install Ubuntu 10.04 and install the restricted driver only to be left w/ a black screen upon reboot. Then I think "fine I'll boot into recovery mode and uninstall the restricted driver".... yeah right. It's like you have a 10ms window of opportunity to actually even get into the grub menu now from a blinking cursor. [03:48] Joshua_Roberts, use mount.smbfs [03:49] rmr-----hold shift when you power up to bring up grub menu [03:49] i cant to found a program so good like devede but for codec xvid.... [03:49] hey all. i have a dual boot system and am upgrading the hard drive. is there an easy way to just move all the data, os, settings, etc right over to the new one? [03:49] Could the problem be with the reading of my drive be that it is an external drive for a laptop, and I am trying to read it on a desktop? Should that matter?' [03:49] btw the hard drive i'm upgrading to is the same size, just bigger cache, so, i'm not going to need to resize them [03:49] OK, so say you get lucky right (holding down shift and grub feels like listening)? Then, you say boot in recovery mode... a whole plethora of garbage is printed to the screen and then the screen goes blank. Fun stuff. [03:50] SlidingHorn, use tab for autocompletion. ex.: slid [03:50] So say you actually get really lucky and get to a command prompt i.e. Ubuntu decides finally after a few hours that it actually will boot using low-graphics mode [03:50] doesn't sound like an ubuntu problem then if it's still doing that in recovery mode [03:50] pepee, I get mount: can't find .smbfs in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [03:50] pepee -- I'm aware...I don't want to type his name [03:50] HowardTheDuck: i think just backup the /home elsewhere than put it back is just enough.. [03:50] another question settiled the first, this one is miner, how do i disable the touch pad on a lap top in windows it disables when i plug in a usb mouse but with linux both mouse and pad are working i hate touch pads [03:50] you install the graphics driver from nvidia... hah... still blank screen [03:50] notmorewindows: english? [03:51] please help, i can [03:51] SlidingHorn, lol ok... [03:51] Anyone know how to install synergy+ on ubuntu 10.04? I went to the website and tried to install the .deb file but I get an error. [03:51] Dafreak: What error? [03:51] i can't figure out what is backing up my home directory. i have looked in my crontab as well as roots and i don't see anything [03:51] Dafreak, yeah...what Jordan_U said [03:51] .... and that's not even getting into configuring the touchpad, which... there's not even a tab for that in the Mouse config menu [03:51] Joshua_Roberts, no spaces: "mount.smbfs" [03:51] hotfloppy: huh? i've got a windows install on here too, and what about my linux settings? it's a bit more than just copying /home [03:51] i check sbackup and also luckybackup but nothing is set to back up my home directory. any suggestions? [03:52] gbillings why? [03:52] so it doesn't see the touchpad (yet the touchpad works) [03:52] info | synergy [03:52] !info | synergy [03:52] synergy: Retrieve information on a package: !info [03:52] 'synergy' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, jaunty, jaunty-backports, jaunty-proposed, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, partner, stable, testing, unstable [03:52] nvidia is more messed up than ATI ever used to be [03:52] Jordan_U: An error about helper does not exist [03:52] powers goin [03:52] all in all, this is a nightmare.

I've read the Linux Journal articles and sadly, they're 100% right [03:54] Joshua_Roberts, ok, that's the command [03:54] rmr: Ah. It is frustrating when things don't work. I even did a nono, and tried windows again, to the usual frustrations of things slowing down and my files being corrupted. [03:54] Speiros: have you checked the Ubuntu Manual out? [03:54] At least on here, I can keep my files [03:55] Speiros: and I feel bad about it. I want Ubuntu to be the Linux people always wanted. I've been hearing "year of the Linux desktop" for like 2 decades and it never happens [03:55] h00k: No, I haven't. Can you give me an address please? [03:55] Speiros, what's the problem?

[03:57] over and over and over [03:57] Speiros, let me help you. plug it and do this in the terminal/console: lsusb [03:57] i checked a button for disabling touchpad while typing and of course tried typing but touch pad is working [03:57] how can i put youtuve video o ipod 30gb [03:57] Okay.

[03:59] rmrfslash, are you going to get to a point eventually and ask a question, or are you just here to rant...if that's the case, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:59] Joshua_Roberts, IIRC is something like mount.smbfs \\IP\shared /PATH -o [04:00] Speiros, ok [04:00] !google [04:00] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet.

[04:02] I think it is on there. There is a linux swap / Solaris === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [04:02] it is new? isn't formatted?

[04:03] Zeike, IIRC xmodmap [04:03] Speiros, remove it and try again: fdisk -l [04:03] Dafreak: No, synergy+ was picked up from stagnation on the Synergy project [04:03] pepee: Yep. [04:03] will gparted move all my data to a new hdd [04:04] seems no one is hanging out on offtopic [04:04] Dafreak: unfortunately, if you're having problems with Synergy+, you'll have to check their projet help information out, as that particluar program isn't in the repos [04:04] anyone here using Nvidia GT 300M series graphics [04:04] Speiros, it the disk being recognized as swap/solaris? [04:05] rmrfslash: Ask your specific question, you'll probably get a better answer [04:05] No, there was another one as that, I think, as that was still recognised even after removing it. [04:05] h00k: thanks. [04:05] It is recognising it as sdc [04:05] So I have found it, but don't know what to do about it.

Everytime I upgrade the kernel it messes with the boot menu so it does not auto time out. [04:06] What is the deal? [04:06] Anyone here using an Asus K42JV with Nvidia Geforce GT 335M graphics who has tried to install the restricted driver and failed i.e. rebooted to a black screen and can't get into root consol recovery mode? [04:06] zatlite: the only who what? [04:06] Speiros, if ubuntu show the disk, then it is. [04:06] better? [04:07] rmrfslash: I suppose it's more specific. Which of the drivers did you install? [04:07] rmrfslash, you have to edit the kernel boot command line [04:07] pepee: When I go to places, it doesn't show up on my computer screen [04:07] Kane_Hart, this channel is for ubuntu support only...you may want to see if they have their own channel or support forum [04:07] rmrfslash, and remove "splash" and "quiet" [04:07] Random832; I'm interested in filesystems that will allow dedup option [04:07] Hello.

[04:09] rmrfslash, s/do/try/ [04:09] !guidelines > Kane_Hart [04:09] Kane_Hart, please see my private message [04:09] I'm trying out mutt, and I'm puzzled why it creates an empty Mail folder and a file "sent" outside that folder. [04:09] Speiros, ok, so you think the disk is /dev/sdc? [04:10] pepee: it's not actually the problem. booting into recovery mode was only so I could try to install the Nvidia driver I downloaded from Nvidia, which I did, but it did not change the behavior i.e. blank screen on reboot [04:10] pepee: Yes, it is mate [04:10] pepee: so I suppose booting into recovery mode is one of several problems === upera is now known as Guest17762 [04:10] Kane_Hart, I wasn't being mean...I was simply informing you that your question was not ubuntu related and probably would be best served elsewhere...it's nothing personal, and attacking people isn't a good way to get help with whatever problem you're having [04:10] pepee: but not the most troublesome, so I'm actually willing to ignore that one for now [04:11] rmrfslash, if you can get the root console, you almost solved it. [04:12] Speiros, ok. again, it is formatted, or being recognized as swap/solaris? can you see something like /dev/sdc1? [04:12] pepee: I don't think that solves the nvidia problem [04:12] rmrfslash, remove the driver, and reinstall it correctly [04:13] pepee: Yes, it is recognised as /dev/sdc1, and it is in FAT32 format [04:13] pepee: right now I'm at a fresh Ubuntu installation using the FOSS driver [04:13] rmrfslash, by "correctly" I mean: read whatever toutorial you find about reinstallin the nvidia driver in ubuntu lucid [04:14] Speiros, well, you just need to mount it [04:14] Speiros, don't know how to do it correctly.... xD [04:14] pepee: read a tutorial on installing a nvidia driver in lucid? [04:14] pepee: Hmm, okay. I did try this before, through mount manager once, but that was a while ago. No, I don't mate. [04:14] pepee: I thought you just use the restricted driver application [04:15] pepee: and if that fails, you try to install the one directly from nvidia (of course you need to boot into recovery mode i.e. w/o X) [04:15] Speiros, but its something like sudo mkdir "/media/sdc1; mount -t vfat -o /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1" [04:15] pepee: is that incorrect? [04:16] rmrfslash, you may need to uninstall the foss driver before installing it from nvidia [04:16] pepee: I don't understand. Do I enter that data, but the data is missing some information? [04:16] rmrfslash, Speiros, don't know the specifics. I just give 'generic' help. [04:16] pepee: so that's not done by the restricted driver installer application that comes w/ Ubuntu? [04:16] Speiros, yes, you do need to know what options to use [04:17] pepee: No probs. It's appreciated man. [04:17] I see [04:17] rmrfslash, did you use jockey-gtk? [04:17] pepee: no idea what that is [04:17] pepee: The options though, if I start with sudo mkdir "/media/sdc1, will that work? [04:18] Speiros, the options are between <> [04:18] pepee: yes, that's what I meant when I was saying the "restricted drivers application" [04:18] Speiros, do this: install pastebinit: sudo install pastebinit [04:19] pepee: Where would I source the options? I'll do the install too. [04:19] Speiros, and then do: cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [04:19] missing destination file operand after pastebinit [04:19] rmrfslash, well, it may be a bug on the program, don't really know [04:19] pepee: I install Ubuntu 10.04, then jockey asks me if I want to install the restricted driver (which I do want) but when I do install it (through jockey) and reboot I just get to a black screen [04:20] rmrfslash, try googling "install nvidia driver lucid command line" [04:20] pepee: yes, now were getting to the root of my frustration [04:20] Speiros, sorry: sudo aptitude install pastebinit [04:20] thanks [04:21] how was it i can change what torrnet is opened by default in Firefox? [04:21] I'm having problems burning an ubuntu lucid disk. http://pastebin.com/beHbTyRF [04:21] zus: In Firefox Preferences (Applications).

[04:21] I'm trying to boot my friends old computer which I will try to turn into a home server, and nothing comes up on the monitor, but a yellow light on the front flashes (kind of slow, like a half second flash every 10 seconds), please any ideas? [04:21] puff, check the md5sum of the iso image [04:21] pepee: Okay. I have added both commands.

[04:22] is there a way i can copy my ubuntu/win7 partitions to a new hard drive? [04:22] pepee: should I type it in here? [04:23] Speiros, yep [04:23] HowardTheDuck: yes, you can use the tool 'dd' [04:23] does ubuntu unlock a locked account after some time period? [04:23] !info dd | HowardTheDuck [04:23] HowardTheDuck: Package dd does not exist in lucid [04:23] does xubuntu support i586 proc? [04:23] pepee: http://pastebin.com/AiKE0iq1 [04:23] h00k: yeah? [04:23] pepee: Blech, md5sum doesn't match. [04:23] HowardTheDuck: type 'man dd' in a terminal [04:23] SlidingHorn, i dont see "torrents" anywhere [04:23] i'd like an easy way to do it, without having to reinstall grub if possible [04:23] help [04:24] puff, you may want to d/l a new image hehe [04:24] puff, also, IIRC, k3b will check iso images too, give it a try ;) [04:24] HowardTheDuck: you could 'dd if=/dev/sd1 of=/home/username/file.img' or similar. The syntax can be found on the 'dd' page. [04:25] oh, well, does anyone what options are needed to mount a FAT partition? [04:25] HowardTheDuck: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem (See Drive Imaging) [04:25] thanks [04:26] pepee: I am happy to format the drive too, as it is blank [04:26] [04:26] ServerAdmin webmaster@jkurtz.net [04:26] ServerName flier.ziber.org [04:26] DocumentRoot /home/ziber/public_html/flier.ziber.org/httpdocs/ [04:26] AccessFileName .htaccess [04:26] Ziber: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Will do. [04:31] andyzweb, hardware problems? [04:32] pepee: it's difficult to say right now. I am going to boot into the liveCD and see if it will work [04:32] andyzweb, did you tried browsing from a live cd?

[04:45] i need some help im new to ubuntu and i have 10.04 install with the latest kernel and everything set up fine except one thing i installed wine and i think it messed up my ntfs mounting because now i have drives that are not mounted but they are just copies of the drives that are mounted i uninstalled wine, still the drives are there any ideas?

[04:47] umount [04:47] Thanks [04:48] Speiros, did it work? [04:49] pepee: It says it is not mounted under umount, and then says for mount, "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error [04:49] pepee: Thanks for your help in this mate, whether it works or not man. Much appreciated. [04:50] Speiros, format it. [04:50] what sort of troubbleshooting steps can help diagnose why hardware would not show up in lspci [04:50] I'm running the "non OSE" virtualbox and it seems that I need to recompile the module almost every single day because of Ubuntu updates. I never had to do that so often in debian. Is Ubuntu really updating the kernel almost every day?? [04:50] Speiros, use gparted, or something like that [04:50] pepee: Okay. I'll see what I can do. [04:51] Hello, I have a sound blaster ca0106 sound card, and when I first upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 there was sound, but now there is no sound. What do I do to fix this? [04:51] andyzweb, did it work under the live cd? [04:51] muskask: are you sure you're not muted [04:52] jhambo, nope, ubuntu doesn't upgrade the kernel so often [04:52] yes I've checked everything [04:52] jhambo, you may check your repos [04:52] that I know of haha [04:52] ** may want to check [04:53] pepee: just running whatever the default repositories are [04:53] jhambo, uname -r [04:53] pepee: not yet but there was some combination of options that got it to work earlier tonight [04:53] pepee: 2.6.32-22-generic [04:54] andyzweb, try installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [04:54] Can somebody help me figure out why my comp won't boot when I have my external hdd entry in fstab? [04:54] pepee: Is it correct to format it back to the fat32 file system? I want it to be able to be opened on various computers. === felipe is now known as TheFin [04:55] jhambo, 2.6.32-23-generic here [04:55] If i comment the entry out it boots fine, and if I then uncomment the entry and do a mount -a it mounts fine. But if I try to reboot with it uncommented it hangs on boot. === face is now known as kevr [04:56] Speiros, hmm don't really know, but IIRC it will be fully compatible. anyway, you can try formatting it in windows [04:56] Hello, I have a sound blaster ca0106 sound card, and when I first upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 there was sound, but now there is no sound. What do I do to fix this? [04:57] Does anyone know of a quick way to toggle Samba shares on and off? I'd like them available when I'm at home, and unavailable while away. Something a little more elegant than the "steathcopter" script that shows up in google results. [04:57] pepee: It was successful. [04:57] kasansweat, stopping the service? [04:58] hi everybody! [04:58] Speiros, heh, good to know [04:58] !hi | Dangelmo1 [04:58] Dangelmo1: 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! [04:58] Nobody? [04:58] pepee: And it is recognised in Places. Man, thanks heaps!! Are you in Aust? I'll buy you a beer, but if not, I hope to be able to give back if the future ventures work out. [04:58] is there a way to use a webcam on another box maybe threw NFS? [04:58] kasansweat: look into firewalling it at certain times, I'd imagine time based firewall rules are more common than time based availability of smb shares [04:58] pepee; yeah, that's essentially what that little script does -- given that ubuntu has come up with more elegant solutions (buttons and such) to other problems, I was just wondering if there was some manager or something out there that I've missed. [04:59] Speiros, just come back and help other people :D [04:59] pepee: all I'm saying is that in debian I had to run `/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup` only very rarely, whereas in ubuntu it seems like I run it almost every day (twice today). It seems I have to run it most times after ubuntu installs "bug fixes". [04:59] pepee: Yeah, I will log this one and try to remember how it worked. Thanks man. [04:59] How long should it take to make koffice 2.1.2? [04:59] kasansweat, that's what I do. ubuntu is annoying in that sense... [05:00] Hello, I have a sound blaster ca0106 sound card, and when I first upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 there was sound, but now there is no sound. What do I do to fix this? [05:00] Speiros, no problem [05:00] pepee: At this time, unfortunately, I am at the lower end of the seesaw, and the help is constantly flowing towards me. One day maybe, I can pour it back. [05:00] muskask8, try reconfiguring some packages [05:00] like what? [05:01] Speiros, well, just do it if you can [05:01] :) [05:02] please help.. http://pastebin.com/MFGvwwxA [05:02] flammenwurfer: try using the uuid in fstab instead of the partition [05:02] muskask8, hmm something related to alsa...

[05:03] gksu doesnt work for me [05:03] flammenwurfer: use blkid tu check your devices UUID [05:03] gio: try gksudo [05:03] it says import error gksu2 [05:03] In particular, I'd like to install the kernel from https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-scien in order to test if that fixes a problem with sleep on my laptop. [05:03] annodomini, do a packages update [05:04] i can't package anything now...

[05:06] It just started doing this today [05:06] gio: sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 [05:06] pepee: can you be more specific? Which package manager? What command should I run? [05:06] flammenwurfer, what about not usng the uuid as identifier? [05:06] it is already latest [05:06] h00k [05:07] gio, from console: sudo aptitude reinstall python-gtk2 [05:08] annodomini, package manager, the app from which you can update your system [05:08] flammenwurfer: whats happening before it hangs?

[05:12] EdGred: python3.1 is in the repositories, but there's really not much you can do with it yet [05:12] GnomeBaker got the furthest, burned for several minutes then said "failed" with no more info. booted up the Cd and ran the media check, found one error. [05:12] Burned again, failed again. [05:12] i have used apt to get it as well as gotten the source from the python site, yet when i type python in the term, its still using the old version, however, i can type in python3 and then i get the new version [05:12] help!!! i have been having so much problems with the nvidia drivers on my friends install of 10.04, seemingly from problems between nouveau and lcd monitor. so i just brought her a HUGE crt, but i still can't get the driver to work properly, only giving me 800 x 600 resolution. [05:12] Any suggestions? [05:12] gio, where are you from? === MoonFish is now known as ro2han [05:12] does that matter [05:12] ech0Asus, sudo dpkg --configure -a , again [05:13] gio, maybe. [05:13] india [05:13] gio, paste the error on pastebin [05:13] mikubuntu, have you checked this out (see below) [05:13] !res [05:13] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [05:13] yipdw: perhaps installing "X" will help resolv this.. [05:13] crdlb: ive tried using the repo, but its no giving me v3 when i type python in a term, its still giving me v2 [05:13] pepee: do you mean synaptic, or ubuntu software center, or apt-get, or aptitude? [05:14] anyone know where can i download APTonCD ? [05:14] scunizi: xorg-server? [05:14] http://pastebin.org/355732 her it is [05:14] or whichever the X server package is called [05:14] their official website seems to contains nothing [05:14] I'd hate to have to resort to using a windows machine to burn my ubuntu Cds. [05:14] in gnome when i click places => search for files (what is that called? - so that i can file a bug report) [05:14] There are several different package managers, so I'm not sure which one you mean. And once I'm in it, how do I find the package from the PPA? I've tried using apt-get, but I can't seem to find the PPA that way. [05:15] yipdw: yes.. whatever the x server package is called.. not sure myself but xorg-server sounds right.. search aptitude/synaptic/apt-get for x references [05:15] http://pastebin.com/pQGz9aLK new [05:15] actually everything worked fine before that gksu.py thing [05:15] scunizi: as far as I know, the xorg packages depend on x11-common [05:15] annodomini, whatever package manager you use. in synaptic you can check the package version, and if you use apt/aptitude you can do something like: aptitude install = [05:15] scunizi: so installing that will run into the same problem [05:15] i shouldnt have tried that [05:15] EdGred: that's normal; they're incompatible [05:15] just trying to set up wireless. when I input iwconfig, I am told that wlan0 power is off. how do I, er, switch it on?:) [05:15] puff, install k3b [05:15] yipdw: just a sec.. brb.. looking at apt-get [05:15] lewis1711: ifconfig or ifup, or use gnome network-manager. [05:15] EdGred: what do you want it for? python 2.x is still the primary series [05:15] http://pastebin.org/355732 pepee [05:16] gio, yeah, I can see [05:16] scunizi: thanks. btw, here's the results of installing xserver-xorg-core: https://gist.github.com/4d9289cc97a935277640#file_xorg_install [05:16] yipdw: x11-common is in the repos [05:16] this is one busy channel [05:16] scunizi: yeah -- installing x11-common directly hits that same problem [05:16] lewis1711: but be aware, ifconfig and ifup use different lock files, so if you use both, you can get quite confused. [05:16] crdlb: but should it update python to point to v3 instead of v2? and i need to compile something that uses python3 [05:17] if i would know python i could atleast have seen that script [05:17] this is crazy i can't i believe i some how destroyed my whole package system tryin to reinstall pidgin.. [05:17] scunizi: i.e. https://gist.github.com/4d9289cc97a935277640#file_x11_common_install [05:17] puff: I see. am using xubuntu but that channel is dead. guess it's time for some heavy googling [05:17] lewis1711: Er, not different lock files, but different files to store the current state. So if you turn wlan0 off with ifdown, then try to turn it on with ifconfig, it'll tell you it's already on. [05:17] EdGred: no, that would break code that uses #!/usr/bin/python and expects python 2 (which is just about every python script on your system) [05:17] EdGred: what is it that needs python 3? [05:17] lewis1711: I'm more of a shell guy, but most people seem to use the gnome network manager appet. [05:17] yipdw: perhaps do a full upgrade first with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:18] pepee: I just get "E: Version '2.6.32-22.34~kamal~scien' for 'linux' was not found" when I try that [05:18] yipdw: then sudo apt-get -f install [05:18] gio, you can't run gksu from root console...

[05:18] how do i clean apt-get up? it has this pidgin ppa and some key error everytime i try and install anything [05:18] in gnome when i click places => search for files (what is that called? - so that i can file a bug report) [05:18] while building python2.6 the build seems to hang with this..http://pastie.org/1016836 [05:18] any ideas? [05:18] lewis1711: "sudo ifconfig -a" should show you all of the current details. [05:18] How does one make NetworkManager not autoconnecting to any location it finds? I.e. By default when adding a new WLAN it should have auto connect off. [05:19] atm I am getting multihomed like crazy. I.e. ethernet + wlan. [05:19] same from user console [05:19] ech0Asus, sudo apt-get -autoremove && apt-get clean [05:19] lewis1711: With ifconfig, ti'd be "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" or "Sudo ifconfig eth1 down". [05:19] annodomini, are you sure that "linux" is the name of that package? [05:19] lewis1711: or "sudo ifup eth1" and "sudo ifdown eth1" [05:19] puff: this is xubuntu, so I don't think I have it. will try and download the gnome thing [05:19] pepee it doesnt matter [05:19] lewis1711: Er, wlan0, that is... on mine, wifi is eth1. [05:19] s3a: gnome-search-tool, part of gnome-utils package [05:20] wrapster: why are you building python? [05:20] unknown interafce wlan0=wlan0 :/ [05:20] lewis1711: Which version? [05:20] rww, thanks [05:20] 10.04 [05:20] no good same error [05:20] pepee: It looks like it's the name of the package from the PPA linked to on the bug I was looking at: https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-scien [05:20] crdlb: i wanted to learn a few things regarding building of pkgs as im from solaris background. [05:20] gio, again, paste the output, but this time run it from normal console [05:20] lewis1711: Some googlnig on: xubuntu "network manager" turns up a number of hits that suggest xubuntu should have it. [05:20] I'd like to ask for someone's kind assistant with what seems to be a Lucid freeze. I'd appreciate your time. [05:20] what's its bin name? [05:21] yipdw: you tring that? [05:21] !ask [05:21] 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. :-) [05:21] lewis1711: I was getting that the other day. Just repeat the command a few times. Bring up the interface, bring it down, try again. [05:21] Which I got from this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578673 [05:21] scunizi: yeah [05:21] crdlb: any ideas regarding the hang? [05:21] http://pastebin.org/355737 [05:22] annodomini, hmm strange... are you sure you configured the ppa correctly? [05:22] said same error [05:22] scunizi: sadly, same error -> https://gist.github.com/4d9289cc97a935277640#file_update_and_force_install [05:22] Is there some log that I can look at to see what is causing my boot hang? [05:22] i have no idea how come it got screwed [05:22] wrapster: nope, but you realize that ubuntu comes with python 2.6, right? [05:22] yipdw: sorry I'm out of ideas.. if nobody here can help figure it out perhaps #ubuntu-server or ##linux [05:22] correct.. [05:22] scunizi: np, thanks [05:22] hey i've installed lamp with apt-get install lamp-server^, . Anyone know how to enable url rewriting?? the tutorials i found online seem to apply to a different version of apache [05:23] scunizi: I suspect x11-common for ubuntu server is just screwed [05:23] wrapster: I'm sure you could skip the tests, but that would be a bad idea, since you've likely built a bad binary [05:23] flammenwurfer, #linux [05:23] gio, no idea, sorry [05:23] rww, actually i dont think that's what i meant, is that a new part of gnome because in debian it's only in sid (unstable) [05:23] :( [05:23] yipdw: you could always install the desktop on top of server then disable the giu startup to eliminate the overhead [05:23] anyone here using pam_mount with 10.04 for cifs? [05:23] Oh, alright. Well, when I try to boot ubuntu, it says the following: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/loop0: clean, 161511/1073152 files, 806297/4286464 blocks [05:23] So I checked on ubuntu's website and it had some advide about adding i915.modeset=1 to the grub bootloader, but it didn't resolve my issue. [05:23] anyone else can help me regarding this? [05:24] anyone familiar with apache on ubuntu? i'm trying to load the url rewrite module and having problems [05:24] Hello, I have a sound blaster ca0106 sound card, and when I first upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 there was sound, but now there is no sound.

AH that's another channel #ubuntu-one [05:25] oh I see puff. yeah that's up and running. i added a new wireless connection with it, but it's not connecting [05:25] has ubuntu become windows? when does a reinstall change anything :P [05:25] no help pepee [05:25] crdlb: then i dont want to skip the tests. .however im not sure why it occured though [05:25] ech0Asus, that dpkg problem is very common. [05:25] ech0Asus: most likely, your problem can be resolved without reinstalling === shade_ is now known as shade\ [05:26] well i just installed and i dont want to bang my head against a wall over pidgin [05:26] ech0Asus, try removing those packages and then reinstalling [05:26] Can anybody give me some advice about my problem? [05:26] i can't remove anything [05:26] i can't isntall anything [05:26] wrapster: you could run sudo apt-get build-dep python2.6 and try again; I still don't see what you hope to accomplish though [05:26] i get an error with any package manager [05:26] I have a directory with many versions of several packages, that I keep archived to avoid unnecessary downloads in several boxes. Anyone know how can I delete the older versions I have already downloaded, so I keep only the latest of each package? [05:26] ech0Asus, before reinstalling those packages, update your system [05:26] SlidingHorn, thanks a lot, taking a look now [05:26] ech0Asus, *** don't reinstall ubuntu [05:26] can't update the system gives me the error [05:27] I can script some bash and some Perl, if someone kicks me in the right direction [05:27] ech0Asus: temporarily remove(make backups) the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [05:27] LittleWolf: whats your problem? [05:27] join [05:27] ech0Asus, remove the package... [05:27] pepee: Here are the commands I ran (though this is a new execution of them; I don't still have the original run in my history): http://paste.ubuntu.com/454256/ [05:27] ech0Asus: iirc anything involving ppk ends up in sources.list.d [05:27] philsf: you can get bash support in #bash if that help [05:27] s [05:27] anyone here using pam_mount with 10.04 for cifs? [05:27] anyone else have problems with gksu [05:27] philsf: apt-get autoclean does that :P [05:27] Hi sweetpi! Well, when I try to boot ubuntu, it says the following: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/loop0: clean, 161511/1073152 files, 806297/4286464 blocks [05:27] So I checked on ubuntu's website and it had some advide about adding i915.modeset=1 to the grub bootloader, but it didn't resolve my issue. [05:28] ech0Asus, I remember now, that problems occur when there are some incompatibilities between packages [05:28] It won't log or anything [05:28] *sighs* [05:28] ddilinger, won't it delete everything? [05:28] Just get stuck in that forever, I guess it's considered a freeze. [05:28] i just tried to remove pidgin cause yahoo wouldn't work [05:28] I just started using ubuntu today. [05:28] ddilinger, or all packages older than X days, ftm? [05:28] annodomini, sudo apt-get install linux="2.6.32-22.34~kamal~scien" [05:28] now i can't do shit [05:28] !language | ech0Asus [05:28] ech0Asus: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:28] philsf: autoclean? no autoclean just removes versions that are older than available in sources.list [05:29] philsf: so if the package is still valid from ubuntu, it will stay in your local repo [05:29] LittleWolf: have you ever been able to boot into ubuntu? [05:29] pepee: Same error on that command. [05:29] any channel ops? [05:29] pepee: Is there a way to check which packages a PPA provides? [05:29] gio: for which reason? [05:29] s3a: umm? I'm actually using Debian squeeze right now, so it's definitely in there ;P [05:29] ech0Asus: i just dont understand how those are related, what does yahoo doesn't work mean? your web browser is broken(firefox, chrome, konqueror, etc.) ? [05:29] for gksu problem [05:30] annodomini, d/l and install that package manually [05:30] gio: ops aren't really for that. [05:30] Yes! Not that long ago! I have been following guides I found in the ubuntu forums, I was trying to make my windows files accesible from ubuntu, but I guess I messed that up. >.< [05:30] help!!! i have been having so much problems with the nvidia drivers on my friends install of 10.04, seemingly from problems between nouveau and lcd monitor. so i just brought her a HUGE crt, but i still can't get the driver to work properly, only giving me 800 x 600 resolution. [05:30] ech0Asus: did you try backing up and cleaning out /etc/apt/sources.list.d ? what is the exact output of 'apt-get update' can you pastebin it? [05:30] ddilinger, brilliant, thanks! [05:30] gio, just use sudo... [05:30] gio: You don't call the police to help you with your kitchen sink leaking. :o [05:30] i installed pidgin.. pidgin crashed on yahoo log in.. i attempted to uninstall pidgin and then install from pidgin.im's ppa package thing.. now it's all blah [05:31] gio: you might find that the non-ops are more knowledgeable in most cases :) [05:31] gio: what are you trying to run with gksu? [05:31] Also, is there any good way of debugging the sleep issue I'm having? From googling, this kernel looks like the most promising, but most people on the bug don't seem to be having much luck with this kernel. [05:31] update-manager [05:31] rww, im in lenny (http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gnome-search-tool&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all&sourceid=mozilla-search) [05:31] LittleWolf: not sure if its related(ive had this problem) but since you mention the i915 option, try video=vesa i915.modeset=0 [05:31] gio: try gksudo update-manager [05:31] ech0Asus: `sudo dpkg --purge pidgin` to remove pidgin. Did you remove the ppk info from your apt sources.list yet? [05:31] s3a: note the part where I said "part of the gnome-utils package". And if you're using lenny, you should be asking for help in #debian, not here. [05:32] ech0Asus, again, remove that package, do sudo dpkg --configure -a, do sudo aptitude update [05:32] now, I'm having some trouble opening some applications. Ones I found out include acroread (from partner repo) and emacs32 (from main). They both return the following when run from the terminal: ** (emacs:19772): CRITICAL **: menu_proxy_module_load: assertion `dbusproxy != NULL' failed [05:32] pepee what command do u suggest i do to remove the package [05:32] ech0Asus, what ddilinger says... [05:32] rww, the bug is universal [05:32] ech0Asus: did you use apt-add-repository to add the pidgin ppk, or how did you do that ? [05:33] ech0Asus: dpkg --purge pidgin [05:33] rww, so this?: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=gnome-utils [05:33] with a sudo in front likely [05:33] rww, so reportbug gnome-utils ? [05:33] s3a: ask in #debian [05:34] ok so if I do lshw and my wireless card is listed but there's no field specifying a driver, I need a driver? is that right/ [05:34] pepee: Do you mean for me to download and install all 124 binary packages from that PPA manually using dpkg? [05:34] rww, but im filing it in debian and ubuntu and gnome (just because im on debian as we speak doens't mean i dont have ubuntu machines) [05:34] I have a question about that too, it says to add "i915.modeset=1" after "quiet & splash", but my ubuntu won't run unless it is on "nomodeset". So I permanently modified the bootloader to have nomodeset as a default. Do I have to add video=vesa i915.modeset=0 after where it says "nomodeset", or do I have to overwrite it? [05:35] Could anyone help me with installing ubuntu and windows xp on two separate HDDs? [05:35] annodomini, you wanna install the kernel? d/l the kernel package [05:35] Hi, How do i get the output of the soundcard to the input of audacity so that i can record it ? [05:36] re182, two separate hdd? then there shouldnt be any prblem? what is it? [05:36] !dualboot | re182 [05:36] re182: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:36] LittleWolf: if i remember right i915 was ignoring nomodeset, however if your trying to debug boot issues you should get rid of quiet and splash and add nosplash [05:36] yea i used apt-add [05:36] whats the ubuntuone channel please (again?) [05:36] i cleaned the sources.list dir [05:36] who can send me a link to a tutorial for dhcp client config [05:36] same issue still [05:36] Should I change "nomodeset" for "nospalsh"? [05:37] zus: #ubuntuone [05:37] LittleWolf: you can leave nomodeset in there [05:37] ech0Asus, wait...what do you mean you cleaned the sources.list dir? [05:37] rww, thank you,.. [05:37] yea .d [05:37] annodomini: if you want to see what packages a PPA provides browse to the location in your browser and look for a file named Packages.gz or Packages.bz2 in that will be a listing [05:37] annodomini, heh, you are trying to install a package that isn't in the repos... [05:38] ....wasn't a yes or no question..... :-\ [05:38] annodomini, all older versios are removed from repos [05:38] ech0Asus: hmm, can you pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update ? [05:38] Well, the problem is I've read the dualboot help and i'm still stuck at grub [05:38] is there an program to convert pictures from .JPG to .jpg? I know it sounds stupid but I need to mass upload a lot of pics and the program only sees lowercase jpg. [05:38] I've got my ubuntu as my main HDD, and the windows installation on slave. [05:38] Roasted: there is no conversion, its just the filename [05:38] Both boot up if they're the primary [05:38] ddilinger, there has to be a converter, though.. [05:39] and the other isn't attached [05:39] Which player can I use to view the current title number of a playing DVD? [05:39] but together, they won't boot [05:39] http://pastebin.com/RjTADfwa [05:39] my bios tells me primary drive 1 (0?) isn't found. [05:39] Roasted: The pictures don't need to be converted? The filenames only need to be renamed? [05:39] Roasted: if you want to change a dir from upper to lower case, something like: for i in *.JPG;do mv $i $(echo $i|sed s/JPG/jpg/) [05:39] How do I execute a single command on multiple computers simultaneously ? [05:39] Roasted: if you want to change a dir from upper to lower case, something like: for i in *.JPG;do mv $i $(echo $i|sed s/JPG/jpg/);done [05:39] Roasted: rename .JPG .jpg *.jpg [05:39] If someone can help me figure out whether the driver is loaded for my wireless that'd be great. different guides say different things. thankyou [05:39] ech0Asus, read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186672 [05:39] my windows disc is the secondary drive, and the pin is set to slave...could that be a problem? [05:40] Roasted: oops: rename .JPG .jpg *.JPG [05:40] Thanks sweetpi! I'm gonna go try it!! :) [05:40] ech0Asus, you don't need to reinstall ubuntu, it is a VERY common problem [05:40] ech0Asus, it's called *broken dependencies* [05:40] LittleWolf: np [05:40] I have a asus 1005pr with a 1.66 ghz atom, single core, and ubuntu 10.04 is recognizing it as being dual core. [05:40] crdlb: "rename .JPG .jpg *.JPG" --> syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "." ? :( [05:41] ech0Asus: not seeing any errors listed there, how about `sudo apt-get -f install` (should help resolve dependancies) [05:41] re182, here's a few links to get you pointed in the right direction: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1285897 http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20.html [05:41] red2kic, crdlb: correct syntax: rename 's/\.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG [05:41] !dkpg [05:41] rww: Cheers! \o/ [05:42] rww: oops, I have a different 'rename' here [05:42] I understand I need to reinstall grub...but on the livecd ubuntu cannot see either drive. [05:42] better syntax: "for i in *.JPG;do echo $i $(echo $i | sed 's/JPG$/jpg/');done" slightly longer but reusable and the same on every shell :P [05:42] rww: Why the $? (Curious) [05:42] that is my problem, these instructions are useless unless ubuntu can see the two drives [05:42] bah do mv not do echo :) [05:42] red2kic: matches the end of the file name [05:42] I have added the wireless connection info to the net work manner but now the "enable wireless" option is disabled why is this? [05:43] rww: Ah. Something I would want to learn eventually. :P [05:43] lewis1711, what driver are you using? [05:43] red2kic: read regexp.info, has all the good parts :) [05:43] red2kic: err, http://regexp.info [05:44] ddilinger: That website looks useful. Thank you. [05:44] SlidingHorn: I do not know. how do I find this information? iwconfig does not give a driver but the device is there [05:44] in Debian your hostname is hidded if someone nmap u in the same LAN, in ubuntu it doesnt, how can i hide that value? ($ hostname) [05:45] someone should add that howto to ubottu [05:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186672 [05:45] lewis1711, post the output of the following command to http://paste.ubuntu.com -- lshw -C Network (don't direct it @ me, as I'm probably going to bed soon) [05:45] lewis1711: lsmod | grep mac80211 will show the driver [05:46] has anyone found a good ebook/pdf library app. like calibre but maybe a bit less clunky? :/ [05:46] sweetpi: ah, it seems ath5k is up [05:46] or at least it's mentioned several times [05:46] rww: the one I was going for is apparently called rename.ul on debian and derivatives [05:46] Is setting the secondary drive pin (the windows one) to slave problematic? [05:46] should i have no pin inserted and make the drive think it is also primary? [05:47] crdlb: ah, okay. yeah, we have the perl one instead [05:47] secondary drive pin, wow classic hardware :) [05:47] lewis1711: if i remember right.. if you bring the interface up manually networkmanager disables wifi management [05:47] ok, so my driver, ath5k is loaded (as evident in lsmod.) In the graphical network manager, I have added my key, my ESSID, and my encryption type (WPA). What is the next step? [05:47] sorry, i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to dual booting seperate hard drives and I cannot seem to find anything about pin positions in the ubuntu guides [05:47] re182: for master and slave HD's? it's not OS specific [05:47] I'm having some trouble opening some applications. Ones I found out include acroread (from partner repo) and emacs32 (from main). They both return the following when run from the terminal: ** (emacs:19772): CRITICAL **: menu_proxy_module_load: assertion `dbusproxy != NULL' failed. The app window simply does not open. In the case of acroread, the app exits and returns to the shell, emacs remains open, but does not open the window. Later, if I try to shutdown [05:47] or reboot, I get a warning that emacs is not responding, and am asked to kill it [05:48] enable networks is greyed out in the little icon thing [05:48] *enable wireless networks [05:48] I'm back sweetpi; unfortunately it did not work. D= [05:48] philsf: do you use emacs? could probably remove it [05:48] lewis1711: try taking down the interface and restarting network-manager [05:48] lewis1711: so what does that mean? it doesn't matter that the ubuntu drive is set to primary and has no pin, and the windows drive is set to secondary and has the slave pin? [05:49] brb [05:49] re182: no it means you shouldn't search ubuntu for stuff about hardware pins:) [05:49] sweetpi ok [05:49] LittleWolf: did you get any more info by removing the quiet option? [05:49] ddilinger, I do [05:49] re182: shouldn't make a difference. I think windows has to be the master HD to boot, although thats from my time in winxp no clue about modern ones [05:49] lewis1711: just asking for help, no need to be a douche [05:50] ddilinger: thank you, i appreciate that. [05:50] ddilinger, anyway, I use acroread to open PDFs inside firefox, and it gives an error everytime I try to open one [05:50] re182: I am not being a douche. I am telling you where to find information [05:50] philsf: thats annoying. Could try using okular to read pdfs(doesn't fix the problem, but its a possiblity) === SpyderBite is now known as Spyder|zzz [05:50] philsf: okular is like, kde's pdf reader i think [05:51] ok...going to bed [05:51] ddilinger, i only use acroread from firefox. otherwise I use evince [05:51] How do I execute a single command on multiple computers simultaneously ? [05:51] When I installed Ubuntu the first time, before I could even install it, it would just make my monitor sleep and I couldn't do anything except a forced reboot. So someone on the ubuntu forums adviced me to delete quiet splash, and replace them with nomodeset, and ever since it has worked. So on another advice, I modified my grub to include nomodeset as default so I wouldn't have to type it everytime. [05:51] good night & good luck to all you poor souls trying to help ;-) [05:52] philsf: convince firefox to use evince? :P i cant even think of why acroread would be touching emacs [05:52] ddilinger, I'm not assuming they [05:52] ddilinger, I'm not assuming they're related :) [05:52] other than sharing a similar symptom [05:53] does anyone here know of a way to encrypt an entire harddrive from ubuntu 10.04? [05:53] philsf: oh? i thought you said they both output the same error code which had the emacs .c file listed :P [05:53] ddilinger, they do, apart from the process name :) [05:54] philsf: silly question, but dbus is running? [05:54] dbus-daemon that is [05:55] The freeze message I get is still the same as before. [05:56] thanks for your help sweetpi, that did the trick. now if only I could get it working on arch:/ [05:56] laters [05:56] LittleWolf: unfortunatly that freeze message isn't an error code, makes it hard to debug :( [05:56] LittleWolf: do you by chance have a giant HD attached? my systems looks like its frozen on boot when its fsck's the 3G raid array [05:57] ddilinger, pgrep returns 3 PIDs [05:57] I was afraid so. I saw a post about something similar, it said it was a rather unique basis depending on the machine, etc. But I don't know anything about linux at all. I just learned today what the hell a terminal was. o_o [05:57] philsf: hmm, that should be right ... dunno [05:57] No, I don't ddilinger. Unless 250 GB memory and 900mb RAM is considered massive. [05:58] littlewolf: not really, a 250G drive should fsck fairly fast. How long have you let it sit in the 'stuck' phase ? [05:58] hola [05:59] !es | dan [05:59] dan: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es.

[06:00] well, yea all those cmds were supposed to be sudo, got lazy typing :P [06:00] Oh, wait. That Grub thing did offer an option to open a terminal, right? === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:00] LittleWolf: You will want to boot into "single-user mode" to disable fsck as i had mentioned, put the number 1 at the end of your kernel options [06:01] What is the best way to preserve my settings? (Ie, I want to test KDE, XFCE, Lubuntu --etc) -- Then when I'm done with it, I rollback to the previous setting? [06:01] LittleWolf: kernel options from grub, same part that says nomodeset [06:01] red2kic: hmm, easiest way? add some users to your system === TannerF is now known as TannerF-zzz [06:01] Do you mean "i915.modeset=1" ?? [06:02] LittleWolf: the 1 goes on its own though, as a seperate option [06:02] Hi, How do i get the output of the soundcard to the input of audacity so that i can record it ? [06:02] LittleWolf: that tells the kerenl to go to runlevel 1 instead of 5 when it boots. runlevel 1 is maintinance mode and does very little before droping you to a shell [06:02] So, i915.modeset= 1 ? [06:02] ddilinger: The packages would be installed for all users. That work? One user get KDE, the other user get XFCE? It's not the approach I'm looking for. I wanted a virtual -- but a native virtual -- Without having to install it on the HDD? Meh. [06:03] LittleWolf: i dunno about your i915 command, but the same long line in grub that has the kernel options you just need to append the number 1 [06:03] народ помогите планшет wacom подвисает при нажатие пера [06:03] pepee: Thanks for the help. Installing the linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic_2.6.32-22.34~kamal~scien_i386.deb package manually using dpkg worked for me, and thankfully, that kernel does work to fix the resume problem! [06:03] red2kic: well, if your just 'trying it out' for an hour or two adding a user, then deleting the user when done is the cleanest way without leaving a bunch of random files in your home dir [06:03] blondinka: !russian [06:03] I think the reason nothing else was working is that that package is considered an older version than the released 2.6.32-22 [06:03] да [06:04] blondinka: !rs [06:04] At the very last just add the number 1? [06:04] ddilinger: I understand. What about packages? ;) [06:04] red2kic: the packages should be fine to all be installed in your system [06:04] blondinka: ! russian [06:05] !ru [06:05] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:05] :P [06:05] спасибо [06:05] abhi_nav: thanks. [06:06] nUboon2Age, :) [06:06] red2kic: the packages (if installed through apt-get or aptitude or similar) will be available for all users. Not quite sure what a native virtual means [06:06] ddilinger: Snapshots. [06:06] ddilinger: That's what I'm thinking. I'm reading stuffs at the moment. No sweat. :2 [06:07] red2kic: well, you can have gnome and kde installed, log out of kde and then log into gnome, although you cant have the gnome desktop and the kde desktop running for the same user in the same X display at once [06:08] that can all be done on a single user, they store their configs in seperate directorys. The graphical login manager should have a dropdown to select gnome/kde/etc if they are installed [06:08] ddilinger: If you have another X display, you can have it running KDE. Not the approach I'm looking for. What I want to do is snapshots. Basically, I like it, I saved it. Then I start messing around with it. No sweat. I go back to my pristine condition. [06:08] hi [06:08] ahh, well for the most part that can be acomplished by duplicating the configuration directories [06:09] red2kic: with a couple exceptions kde stores all its info in ~/.kde/ [06:09] red2kic: so if you make a tarball out of that directory you can call that a snapshot [06:09] hello [06:09] red2kic: not as familiar with gnome but its likely similar === adante_ is now known as adante [06:11] i think gnome uses ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome2_private [06:11] My machine has an OSX filesystem partition in addition to Ubuntu, Is there some way I can write to it? I don't have right permission and is it not possible to chown with the format of osx's filesystem? [06:11] Okay...so i've sucessfully installed windows and ubuntu 10.04. Windows is the primary drive, ubuntu is the secondary drive. [06:11] ennui: have you managed to mount the HFS drive? [06:11] I followed the instructions here :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD and when i reboot i get a "windows did not restart properly...blah blah safe mode etc" [06:12] i do not get a grub menu. [06:12] ddilinger: It does. I'm just not looking to install any metapackages. I want to experience a standalone kde minimal + xfce minimal. Not to mention I heard good things about LXDE (maybe for my netbook). [06:12] suggestions? [06:12] ddilinger it is mounted. I can read from it but not write [06:12] ennui: even with root? [06:12] Hi, I'm having a problem where the server GLX version is only 1.2 but I need >= 1.3. How do I fix this? [06:12] ddilinger: would you suggest he use chown on it? [06:12] doyle: chown? no [06:12] though I'm not exactly sure what the chmod command should look like [06:12] a chown across the drive would likely fubar macos [06:13] gotcha [06:13] re182, one possibility is grub was installed in a place that the machine boot doesn't cover at the moment [06:13] how can i determine where it was installed? === Guest52693 is now known as di_giorgio [06:13] how did you install it? [06:14] or how did it get installed? also which version of grub is it? [06:14] ddilinger: if I run gksudo nautilus the file browser still can't write do the external [06:14] ennui: hmm, what does the 'mount' command say about your drive? [06:14] ennui: between the () [06:15] re182: sounds like grub didn't install onto the windows drive [06:15] it was supposed to be on the windows drive? [06:15] A friend sent me a file of Linux Nero, how do I install it? [06:15] yea, grub has to go on the main boot drive i think [06:15] in those instructions it says to mount the ubuntu drive, not the windows one. [06:16] where do you want it installed? [06:16] Synaptic: "libgdata-google1.2-1 -- Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface. This package is a client library to access Google services through a SOAP interface." What does 'POA' stand for? [06:16] LLLLL, is it a source or .deb? [06:16] I want grub2 on the windows one i guess, because it's the main HDD and the one that has the MBR [06:16] h/o [06:16] ok [06:16] anyone having trouble downloading from Ubuntu? [06:16] Big_D_271: I was earlier today, but not in the past few hours. [06:16] ?? [06:17] what is h/o? [06:17] re182 thanks... i'm thinking it might be on my end! [06:17] have anybody still got problem with ati drivers? even after clear install i can't install fglrx [06:17] abhi_nav: it means hold on ;) [06:17] LLLLL: what kind of file is it? [06:17] half order? [06:17] re182, ok [06:17] hold on [06:17] hmm [06:18] so....i should use those instructions again, but this time install grub to the windows drive? [06:18] I'm not so sure... [06:19] i am unable to connect my wireless printer brother hl2170w to set it up, it is available in the network section but keeps dropping when i try to connect [06:19] I'm definitely a fan of booting all osses starting with the same drive [06:19] what does a monitor like symbol beside a wireless network mean? [06:20] but, maybe your bois can boot the other drive === sarah is now known as Guest75492 [06:20] V_V oh, internet. [06:20] thanks jim, I'll try to install grub on the windows drive :) [06:20] hmm, i hadn't thought of that but yea, you could swap the boot order in your bios, boot the linux hd, adjust grub to install to the windows disk, then flip the bios back === karthik is now known as Guest75267 [06:21] ddilinger, abhi_nav ...its zip [06:21] can you fit an additional primary partition of say 25-50mb onto the drive? [06:21] I want to install Windows dual-boot; I have already installed Ubuntu. I'll need to resize my /home partition to do so, but it's an XFS filesystem. Do I have any options, or will I just have to do a complete reinstall? [06:21] the windows one? yeah [06:21] LLLLL, right click on it and unzip first [06:21] fuck it [06:21] sorry [06:21] for language [06:21] LLLLL: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:21] lol [06:21] crap it, it's for x86 [06:21] need to find another [06:22] R3cur51v3, do you have enough space to store the contents of /home? [06:22] R3cur51v3: you can always backup it somewhere and recreate the partition === zydomason is now known as DaZ [06:22] jim, zydomason, yeah I have plenty of free space on a spare 1 TB harddisk [06:22] I hate that xfs can't shrink... I bailed on it for that reason [06:22] is all Linux x86? [06:22] DaZ: lemme just grab those DAT tapes and starting backing up a TB home dir :P [06:22] LLLLL, no not all [06:23] lllll no but some is [06:23] LLLLL: not all Linux, but linux runs x86. Chances are you are on x86 right now (although not guaranteed) [06:23] :3 [06:23] and I know about dpkg --get-selections [06:23] LLLLL: well, theres the first 85 to consider [06:23] well it's really up to you [06:23] so jim, are you saying i should partition some space on the windows drive and install grub to that? [06:23] anyone know how to connect a wireless printer in ubuntu, it keeps disconnecting on mine [06:23] I have Ubuntu 10.04 . [06:23] re182: you shouldn't need to, grub fits in the MBR [06:23] But I'll also have to reinstall VMWare and some other stuff, plus I'll have to transfer and retransfer the 60 GB worth of stuff in /home, plus just installing Ubuntu takes time [06:24] if you have that 1 tb drive, I'd be looking pretty squarely at lvm [06:24] LLLLL, can you unzip that file? [06:24] ddilinger: so there should be no problem mounting that one using the livecd instead, and installing grub to it? [06:24] well any of these solutions is going to take time [06:24] re182: wont be the same, i dont think [06:24] hii all [06:25] gah. then how am i to install grub? [06:25] any one can help me?? [06:25] re182: i'm not 100%, but i think you need to boot your linux partition(can you adjust bios to boot second drive?) and run grub from inside it [06:25] I can't adjust my bios to boot it, i just checked :| [06:25] how to install graphic card aspireoNE ao532??? [06:25] how to install graphic card aspireoNE ao532??? [06:26] can help me?? please [06:26] ddilinger: mount -> /dev/sdc5 on /media/Backup type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) [06:26] ennui: hmm, so that is proper as well, hfsplus and rw . . . you should be good to write files as root, not sure whats going on there [06:27] re182: ok, so then you can boot your liveCD, mount the drive and chroot into it [06:27] * R3cur51v3 sighs, time to reinstall Ubuntu yet again... [06:28] but then how am i to install grub to the windows partition? [06:28] Synaptic: "libgdata-google1.2-1 -- Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface. This package is a client library to access Google services through a SOAP interface." What does 'POA' stand for? [06:28] I mean, if the computer turns on and XP is the primary drive, it will boot up windows [06:29] re182: well, actually windows installed a small boot loader in the MBR that forwards it to a boot record for the partition [06:29] re182: grub will replace the MBR, but still be able to forward to the XP partition to boot normally [06:29] ahh, okay [06:31] how to remove this error which I got while checking for updates: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454276/ [06:31] is there a clean way to close an ssh connection to your machine? as opposed to killing the connection process [06:32] cyphase: kill is clean [06:32] cyphase: kill -9 is the unclean way [06:32] ah, okay [06:32] thanks [06:33] what does clean v unclean mean? [06:33] doing a normal kill doesn't do anything crazy, it just sends a signal to the process [06:33] the process can ignore it if it wants, or shut down. [06:33] kill -9 tells linux to shut it down, doesn't care what the process thinks [06:34] please help updation error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454276/ [06:34] firefox is slow, what else should i use? [06:34] chrome [06:34] kermit, softfox [06:34] ddilinger: chrome or chromium? [06:35] chrome [06:35] so usually a process will have a function for handling the shutdown signal [06:35] i like to support FOSS though, isnt chromium almost as good as chrome? [06:35] and can close "cleanly" - not leave any open file descriptors, etc. [06:35] right? [06:35] i use google-chrome-unstable from the ppa [06:36] hi [06:36] randerz: well, linux wont let it have hanging file descriptors when its closed. linux will clean that. By cleanly it means that the process shuts itself down, as oposed to the operating system shutting it down [06:36] rww can you please help sove this issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/454276/ [06:36] randerz, i cant remember the exact circumstances, but i remember once i killed an ssh connection and the computer thought it was still logged on [06:36] abhi_nav: what issuse [06:36] how to remove this error which I got while checking for updates: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454276/ [06:36] hey hey [06:37] abhinesh, ^^ [06:37] just finished with my ubuntu install [06:37] bh3w, :) [06:37] abhi_nav: you would do better posting one liners like that in the chat :P [06:37] abhi_nav: you need to do something with the apt-key command, but i dont know what [06:37] ddilinger, hmmm. i was not sure how much lines it will occupy [06:37] ddilinger, hmm [06:38] #drupal [06:38] might be swtiching to vista from ubuntu [06:38] thanks ddilinger and cyphase [06:38] abhi_nav, Hi, can you help me please ? [06:38] cant find good software for it [06:38] Lalitha, about what? dont pm. ask here [06:39] abhi_nav, I want to redirect the output of speakers to the audacity so that it can record it . [06:39] Lalitha, dont know. i dont have audocity [06:40] Does anyone know how to redirect the output of soundcard to audacity so that it can record ? [06:40] abhi_nav, thakns for replying [06:40] Lalitha: look into pulseaudio [06:40] quick question [06:40] well two [06:40] bh3w, go [06:40] Lalitha, ok [06:40] Lalitha: with pulseaudio you can change the 'sink' at the flick of a button, the sink being where the audio goes [06:40] Lalitha: if you want to record rather than play, you can make the sink be a .wav file [06:40] one, how do i show what version i am running? and if i'm running with ubuntu, but want the KDE environment, what do? [06:40] hello! Does anyone know how to fix blue/purple tint when playing videos? (all video players do this to me) [06:41] bh3w, paste uname -a output here [06:41] bh3w, install kubuntu [06:41] bh3w, synaptic > kubuntu-desktop [06:41] next! [06:41] bh3w, you can install kde from ubuntu software cneter name is kubuntu-desktop [06:41] I'm having troubles deleting some files that got interrupted during a transfer to my external HDD. Getting "Cannot remove Input/output error" [06:41] Linux woody-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux [06:41] trask_: likely a fsck is necessary [06:42] How many jobs can make process without suffering too much? make -j50 too much? [06:42] ddilinger, I am going to try it now. [06:42] lalitha: i think pulseaudio is installed by default on ubuntu, you just need to start the 'padevchooser' applet to let you easily switch sinks, and install the wav file sink [06:42] ddilinger: umount first then run? It won't delete anything will it? [06:42] guys what does wubi do [06:42] trask_: fsck wont delete anything, although you may end up with files in lost+found and no names [06:43] trask_: but the files in lost+found were already screwed before fsck ran, fsck just puts them there because it doesn't know where they go [06:43] guys what does wubi do [06:43] ddilinger, installed padevchooser [06:43] ok [06:43] never heard of wubi [06:44] i'm in synaptic [06:44] but the only thing for KDE is not the environment [06:44] skubi wubi du [06:44] xray_tsk, what? [06:44] I've downloaded Wicd, but it didn't auto-remove knetworkkanager. Both are currently running. How can I safely remove knetwork manager? [06:44] Guest15891, wubi installs ubuntu as a windows application and uses windows' bootloader. and it can later be uninstaled from control panel > add/remove prog [06:44] ddilinger, solved. i do sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys followed by error hed number. and it is done!!! [06:44] just kidding [06:45] abhi_nav: beautiful :) [06:45] hi, is it better to install cron or anacron on Ubuntu Server 10.4 ? [06:45] anyone know how to fix blue tint in video playing ? [06:45] ddilinger, :) [06:45] dmg: is your system on 24hrs a day? [06:45] recently appeared [06:45] thaaanks [06:45] on my netbook I have both, but on the server I want to choose one [06:45] yes [06:46] dmg: anacron is for systems that go up and down, cron is for servers [06:46] well, generally anyways [06:46] ddilinger, does the use the same config files? [06:46] not entirely sure [06:46] ddilinger: how do I see what /dev is my external? It's currently still mounted. [06:46] because I don't now if is it ok if I have both installed on my netbook [06:46] trask_: type 'mount' [06:47] trask_: should be listed [06:47] Simple. Thank you. === alpenrose is now known as TNA-fx [06:47] dmg: well, they arn't marked as conflicting packages so i guess its not the end of the world. prob wouldn't hurt to remove cron though [06:48] do u recommend using windows and ubuntu [06:48] i recommend using what works for u [06:48] if it aint broke, dont fix it :) [06:48] Synaptic: "libgdata-google1.2-1 -- Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface. This package is a client library to access Google services through a SOAP interface." What does 'POA' stand for? [06:48] ddilinger: "fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found. fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sdb1" [06:48] not enough good software for ubuntu [06:49] What's a good socks5 proxy (server) with authentication? [06:49] trask_: its an ntfs drive? you will prob have to to a check from windows then, not usre what the command is called [06:49] ddilinger: Okay. Do you happen to know if I were to install KDE on a new user, would GNOME apps and KDE apps overlays each others on new user? What about XFCE? I don't want to resort to figuring out which icon/package/settings belongs to. [06:50] ddilinger, that's weird, in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto i read that anacron itself is invoked from the /etc/crontab file, but when I run "aptitude show anacron" in dependencies I see "libc6 (>= 2.7), debianutils (>= 1.7), lsb-base (>= 3.0-10)" and not cron... [06:51] red2kic, they will now overwritge each other. but you wll have all aps for gnome and kde desktop. i.e. no of aps will increase [06:51] red2kic: well, i'm actually using a very simple fluxbox install, no kde/gnome, but iirc they play pretty well together [06:51] guys is there anyway to get 150 MBPS bitrate on an N adapter. im only getting 54 MBS? i have a TEW 644UB [06:51] abhi_nav: Meaning if a user bob installed opera browser, it'll show up in user dave? [06:52] dmg: interesting, yea i just peeked at the anacron package it does suggest having cron installed, but doesn't require it [06:52] red2kic: no, you would have to install opera as root [06:52] red2kic: should be a .deb package you can just 'sudo dpkg -i opera.deb' on [06:52] red2kic, what we installed from admin account wll show up in every normal account in both kde and gnome [06:53] ddilinger, what do i enter as sink ? [06:53] what is the name of that text irc? irrc? iiirc? or iirc? which one? [06:53] oh, maybe it's an old article and in the meanwhile anacron was rewritten not to use the cron deamon [06:53] irssi? [06:53] jayne, ok [06:54] Hi, I'm using gnome photo printer, is there anyway to re-arrange how the pictures are laid out? I have about 30 photos but the application seems to order them by filename. [06:54] Lalitha: actualy, with pulseaudio try this: http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2009/04/19/recording-from-pulseaudio/ [06:54] hi [06:54] abhi_nav: text irc, i use irssi [06:54] ddilinger: it's a 1TB external HDD, is there a way I can format it to something else? [06:54] ddilinger, hmm [06:54] abhi_nav: I understand. I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to have all DE system for experiments without having them tied up together? I want the experiences of native KDE, native XFCE, native GNOME, etc...? Physical hard drives to swap around is one alternative. I don't want any virtuals. [06:54] trask_: well certainly can reformat to ext3 or something, but you will lose the contents [06:55] Anybody knows how to do a VPN in Ubuntu?? [06:55] red2kic, what is de? [06:55] ddilinger: Fat32 wouldn't work since it's 1TB, right? [06:55] !de | adamx [06:55] adamx: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [06:55] trask_: note that if you make it ext3 you cant read it from windows [06:55] trask_: well, actualy there was a driver to load ext2 on windows maybee you can, but its not default installed [06:55] adamx: Sorry. [06:55] trask_: thats my understanding, yea [06:55] !desktops | abhi_nav [06:55] abhi_nav: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [06:55] Lames.. [06:56] trask_, free software/ [06:56] 20 years in almost and linux still doesn't play that well with windows filesystems :P [06:56] Guest15891: ? [06:56] red2kic, so you want to install gnome,kde, xfce but you dont want their aps to be grouped toghet? thats not possible. [06:56] trask_, what is lames [06:56] ddilinger: ext2/3 are easy enough to read (and write?) on Windows, but still.. [06:57] abhi_nav: Meh. So every users will have to see any new packages that are installed from other users. [06:57] red2kic, not by other standarad users. but by other admin users [06:57] ddilinger, I do not understand how to use that page. [06:57] ddilinger, i must enter the commands one by one ? [06:57] red2kic, e.g. if bob install some software and bob is NOT admin then nobody else can see that software. [06:57] ddilinger, but it does not have a place to enter the webapge link ? [06:57] hi everyone, has anyone been sucessful at getting itunes to work? [06:57] red2kic, but if bot IS admin and he install any software then all wll see that software [06:58] Lalitha: copy the script(the numbered lines in the middle) into a file. chmod +x the file, the run it with the command line option being the name of your output wav file [06:59] Matrice64, why do you want itunes [06:59] abhi_nav: Alright, I guess I'll opt for virtuals (for now). Maybe bunch of hard drives. [06:59] they dont make a linux itunes do they? doesn't seem like apple's style [06:59] red2kic, hmm [06:59] Guest15891: I have an ipad and I want to be able to access it when I'm on ubuntu [07:00] Matrice64: depending how beefy your computer is you can load virtualbox and run winxp in seamless mode, run itunes that way [07:00] Matrice64: be sure to use real virtualbox, not virtualbox-ose because the ose version doesn't do usb port forward [07:00] ddilinger: I was hoping to avoid doing that :-\ [07:01] Matrice64: complain to apple :P [07:01] hahaha [07:01] red2kic, best way to learn such things is not theory but is practical. do it yourself try with gnome and kde. try to remove software of gnome you dont want in kde etc. Alwasy experimetn and learn. thats the more knowledgeable [07:01] right [07:01] i'm sure they will make a linux client :P [07:01] hey, looks like I'll have to upgrade my X server to the unstable version from the xorg-edgers ppa to get my graphics to work; is there any other info about this process?

[07:53] ubufool, if the urine dries, it might leave deposits maybe :D not sure [07:53] no not yet [07:53] !grub2 [07:53] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

[07:55] jim also, simple chainloading definition http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/Chainloading_in_Linux [07:55] I'm sorry to bother people, I just really don't know how to fix this, I followed the sound troubleshooting guides and nothing works. :( [07:55] indus: http://pastebin.com/2jRV92vs [07:55] (as you can see, no reaction at all from the kernel) [07:55] Aiffe - you're not a bother. Don't have any ideas for you, sorry. [07:55] abhi_nav: how to compare checksum [07:56] if i have about 20 linux machines a good amount of ubuntu with some redhat here and there .. and I want to run a bash script on ALL of the machines ... i was smart enough to put a root password that is the same on all the machines, but i don't have a list of all the machine ips ... what is the easiest way to scan the ip ranges, ssh run script from a common server share and move onto the next server? [07:56] VanessaE, ok bad usb device or port, but mostly device ? [07:56] does anybody know why the 'pop-up notifications' in prefs doesn't seem to apply changes?(specifically i'm trying to get the pop-ups to show in the lower right corner, but even though i've selected that option, they still show in the upper corner) [07:56] also would like to know how to update to ubuntustudio from original 10.4? [07:56] abhinav_singh, try linux mint [07:56] Thanks anyway, demitrius. I appreciate the answer. [07:56] VanessaE, or a kernel issue, which version of ubuntu is this [07:56] indus: three different devices, no reaction on any of them. [07:56] Aiffe - have you run the "Hardware Drivers" program?

[07:56] laptop, Dell Inspiron 9200 [07:56] kanhiya, from whre you downloaded iso on that page they give its checksum. download that and there is a text base program something called md5 you check with it [07:56] kanhiya, you have to install md5 its very small program [07:56] abhi_nav:what is linux mint? [07:57] demitrius - how do I run that? [07:57] wow [07:57] VanessaE broadcom [07:57] vu1kan: I believe that preferences thing is for GNOME's notification daemon, which isn't notify-osd, which is what Ubuntu uses. [07:57] bricky: eh? [07:57] ? [07:57] my issue was that every tim i join large channels my computer freezes [07:57] the network card [07:57] this don't help [07:57] abhinav_singh,a derivative of ubuntu with multimedia and other software preinstalled [07:57] VanessaE, does it work in windows !???

[07:57] Aiffe - System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [07:57] wifi [07:57] abhinav_singh, linuxmint.com [07:57] VanessaE, that is the only way to check ,or another distro might beof use [07:57] vu1kan: I'm not aware of notify-osd having any preferences whatsoever, actually :( [07:57] morning all [07:58] abhi_nav and ubuntustudio? [07:58] lesse... [07:58] VanessaE, otherwise usb header gone bad maybe inside [07:58] demitrius - yes, I ran that first thing, to get my wireless working. [07:58] 02:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05) [07:58] abhinav_singh, ubuntustudi is for artists, musician, advertise field, etc you read more in ubuntustudio.org [07:58] there it is. [07:58] VanessaE, in bios ?? [07:58] rww. thanks, but knuts...i found a guide on ubuntuforums to recompile it, but i'm not comfertable doing that, yet [07:58] hmmm [07:58] VanessaE, double check bios options [07:58] Aiffe - oh, okay. that's all I can think of, sorry. [07:58] indus: no BIOS settings that affect USB, other than offering a boot order option [07:58] hey all, can yoiu tell em does ubuntu use ss to replace netstat? im writing a script for redhat based OS's but want to make sure it works on ubuntu/debian based os's as well [07:58] It's okay, thanks for trying. I appreciate it. [07:59] abhinav_singh, ubuntustudio for multimedia, audio and video filed e.g. cinema, etc [07:59] Sure thing! [07:59] (it apparently could boot from a USB fob if I had one) [07:59] VanessaE, could you show the same line from lspci -nn [07:59] abhi_nav ok [07:59] VanessaE,tried that ? [07:59] VanessaE, at least the usb port can be tested [07:59] Jim: 02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection [8086:4220] (rev 05) [07:59] i was thinking i could make a script to ping and then increment the last octet by 1, and for every live IP ... add it to a flat file [07:59] VanessaE, but since you said the device lights up etc, seems more complicated [08:00] VanessaE, only way i say is use another linux distro and check this [08:00] I would try, but I don't have any bootable USB devices :-/ [08:00] VanessaE, or if possible a windows os [08:00] well I guess I could check with the Gentoo CD, I have that handy and I'm well versed with it. [08:00] Windows, G*d forbid no. [08:00] jsoft nmap, tcpdump, nc [08:00] VanessaE, modprobe ipw2200 [08:00] VanessaE, omg gentoo :) [08:00] Jim: the wireless works fine. I'm using it now. [08:01] oh nevermind then :) [08:01] Jim: The problem is the USB ports. [08:01] abhinav_singh, read my pm [08:01] hi [08:01] VanessaE, how about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/564459 [08:01] i've instaled 10.04 server [08:01] * VanessaE looks... [08:01] and during instalation process i set up my raid and lvm volumes [08:02] but i've tried to change them manually later on [08:02] dont think its the right solution but can try , its for usb hdd i believe [08:02] but any time i boot my manual config is overriden with the installation one [08:02] I have a USB HD as well, same issue [08:02] VanessaE: oh, if you use the usb cables as wireless antennae... [08:02] !enter | angelete2 [08:02] angelete2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:02] where is this config stored in order to erase it? [08:03] Oh, if it helps, I have a forum post with some more info here-- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1516526 basically, everything says it should be working, I just don't hear anything. [08:03] how do you mount the devfs a second time? [08:03] I want the thing mounted on /dev to be also mounted on /mnt/dev [08:03] abhi_nav: i am confused ,i went to site from where i have downloaded it and get MD5 Data for link that i have downloaded but do not know from where to download comparator [08:04] i've instaled 10.04 server. during instalation process i set up my raid and lvm volumes, but i've tried to change them manually later on. but any time i boot my manual config is overriden with the installation one.where is this config stored in order to erase it? === Cariyla is now known as Gerwin [08:04] vu1kan: better this way? [08:04] abhinav : if you open K3B it will check MD5 [08:04] abhi_nav: 5eccab9d5956956c3dc28d5a6c4a2e69 *edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso [08:05] ok, no good by adding the usb-storage module. Also of note: the USB card reader, when it powers up, shows both the power light and the "card is mounted" light - even when empty. This is not the usual behavior of this device on my PC. [08:05] angelete2 makes for less noise in the channel; but this is the ubuntu desktop channel, you might have better luck in #ubuntu-server [08:05] jim just mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/mntpoint [08:05] kanhiya, i am busy with another user you ask here that how to check checksum [08:05] how to check that while using windows [08:05] ook, thankyou [08:06] I am reading the nvidia official document: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.36.24/README/installedcomponents.html I think, too much unuse and dependency packages for me. If I want to install this driver minimize (I don't need any develope packages), how I should do? Just copy the files in this like from a driver install already OS? [08:07] bbiab, let's see what this does under Gentoo. [08:07] interanut, ask you question here [08:07] do not install nvidia drivers...they wont work like the linux offical drivers.. [08:07] anybody knows how to compare checksums [08:07] VanessaE does $ dmesg | tail -n 20 show you the device? [08:07] using windows [08:08] kanhiya md5sume && md5sum then compare [08:08] indus: r u there [08:08] I have compiz installed but dont want to use the gnome display manager compiz settings. Where do I find the settings to enable the cube etc? it's not running atm either. [08:08] right now i am using windows [08:08] update-manager -d <<< is this how i should update from 10.4 to ubuntu studio??10.10???? [08:08] kanhiya windows is not supported here. cygwin may help you [08:08] interanut, what happend> [08:08] ? [08:09] AAA: i do not understand? what is cygwin [08:09] ? [08:09] i just downloaded a rar file, and clicked open instead of save and i get a 'associated helper application does not exist' [08:09] i've already asked in #ubuntustudio..but they sleeping...

[08:13] New Asus Laptp - Windows 7 64 bit, installed Ubuntu 10.04 - boots fine into Ubuntu - but now it gives me a BSOD in Windows 7 after the little balls on the screen appear.... the error is 0x0000007b (it will go into safe mode but not normal mode now that I have installed ubuntu )??? [08:13] yillkid, why do you need a new driver in linux anyway [08:13] n3m3s1s4u: what does the stop code mean? [08:13] I have reloaed all twice - but still doing the same thing! [08:13] yillid the ones provided for your detected card, are the most stable release ubuntu has built for ubuntu [08:14] indus: hey [08:14] arunkumar413, yeah [08:14] phawx gimme a min, i'll search through my installed packages and get the package name for archive manager [08:14] OK . I just think the newer is better . [08:14] ubufool, its not necessarily stable [08:14] I get many different answers... some say it is raid related (?? I am on a laptop) and some say it is to do with the partition / drive resizing... [08:14] indus: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/iBLBjbhX [08:14] often "newest" is not the best and still has bugs that have not been reported to nvidia or ubuntu, and they will continue to work to bring newer ones to us [08:14] vu1kan, should just be archive manager?

[08:15] Yillkid: the nvidia vdpau may give later drivers, or (risky) xorg-edgers ppa [08:15] something goes wrong with the resize / grub - but not sure why safe mode works though [08:15] indus..when 173.00 first came out, it fried many cards...

[08:15] ubufool, it worked best for me [08:15] n3m3s1s4u: you should look at what the stop code means. The system is telling you what's going on [08:15] hello [08:15] xD [08:16] so I'm trying to remove evolution, evolution-data-server, and all its plugins, but apt-get and aptitude both think that packages that recommend those need to be removed as well (or, in aptitude's case, keep recommending me that I should keep them or just downgrade them). how do I tell it that yes, I really want those packages, and just those packages, removed? [08:16] ubufool, ubuntu doenst change any thing in the driver [08:16] which module is required by .htaccess ? [08:16] on apache 1.3 [08:16] indus thx to all the testers who knew what to look for and helped debug it...i was one of them [08:16] ubufool, so no way it fried cards befoer and stopped it later [08:16] leifw: one of the packages is a dep of gnome-panel so watch what you remove [08:16] ubuntu did not get the release that fried cards.. [08:16] yeah that was one of them [08:16] why on earth does gnome panel depend on evolution components? [08:17] ubufool, so a 173... something then [08:17] phawx it sounds like you need to set up firefox to use file-roller as a helper... [08:17] 173.some point release [08:17] I have - but it keeps telling me it is drive / sata related - but why only after install ubuntu?? [08:17] before I have no problems... [08:17] it was an early release...that later got corrected... i'm sure you could google around and find plenty of piee'd off people making posts about it..unless they were removed.. [08:17] anyway, lets move on [08:17] n3m3s1s4u: is your bios the latest? [08:17] yes xD [08:18] But I still have problem. The size of nVidia driver package by ubuntu is total 334 MB, it's too big. I refer the document, I found too many unuse and dependency packages in it, I want to install the driver only, I don't need develope packages, how I should do? Install the driver in one pc, and copy the file I need to tthe other pc ? [08:18] :D [08:18] its a brand new notebook? [08:18] it no longer does this and is fixed..so no need to worry about it [08:18] n3m3s1s4u: means nothing, check it [08:18] ubufool, i moved on to an ATI [08:18] ok - but how will this solve something that happens after ubuntu gets installed? [08:18] ubuntu works perfectly [08:18] yea thats the route most went.. === XlinuX is now known as Guest74226 [08:19] n3m3s1s4u: can you type my nick if your text is aimed at me. The highlighting of your name isn't accidental [08:19] yillid you are not soppose to d/l the dev packages [08:19] n3m3s1s4u: use tab to complete the nick [08:19] phawx it should be in edit>preferences>applications [08:19] ActionParsnip, ok [08:19] yillid nvidia glx new.. is all you need... [08:19] n3m3s1s4u: i'd ask in ##windows too as the issue is with windows. Someone may have had the same issue [08:20] vu1kan, its under Applications, rar's are set to always ask [08:20] ActionParsnip, will do quickly becaue this is soul destroying!! [08:20] this is automatically selected and installed once you first start ubuntu with the card installed [08:20] you just have to activate it [08:20] hello [08:20] n3m3s1s4u: could just ditch windows ;) [08:20] nickserv down? [08:20] ubufool: But I don't need some develope packages, for example, I don't need kernel header, because I will not develop anything with nVidia driver, I think the kernel header dependency is just for cuda develope. [08:21] indus: did u get anything? [08:21] magicdroid: #freenode [08:21] arunkumar413, for what [08:21] ugh that is annoying [08:21] magicdroid: I'm identified so I doubt it [08:21] whatever, good enough [08:21] indus: i mean did u understand anything in the link i gave [08:21] arunkumar413, didnt see [08:22] yillkid: you'll need the headers to compile the kernel module as part of the driver install. [08:22] indus: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/iBLBjbhX [08:22] yillkid: its part of dkms which automagically occurs [08:22] and this dependence on couchdb is ridiculous too [08:22] right.. you don't need anything else...just un-install everything related to it...reboot and xserver will load in low graphics...continue like that..then install the "restricted" drivers when prompted...these are all you will need..and aren't really "restricted" [08:22] ActionParsnip, I would like to but, business will not permit this as yet... [08:23] yillkid apt-get intall build-essential [08:23] ActionParsnip: OK, but when I compile the module done, I can't purge the kernel header! because it's the nVidia driver dependency. [08:23] damn.. been too long... had to do it @ freenode. thx [08:23] n3m3s1s4u: ok well you have stuff to run with now :) [08:23] yillkid: yes, it will be needed next time you get a new kernel via updates [08:23] your card may need that [08:24] pls follow their advice as i'm quite noob and my method is not best [08:24] yillkid: you can uninstall old kernels to free up space and the headers for that kernel will go with it [08:25] AAA: I know build-essential is need, but I want to purge it when I have install nVidia driver done. Can it? [08:25] arunkumar413, sorry but iam a noob at compiling stuff, have to trouble shoot yourself [08:25] so re182 was askiing me about how to recover, and we got part of it done (it boots into grub) [08:25] hey when I try to build my bcm wifi driver from module-assistant I get the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/454312/ [08:25] indus: will uploading the code to launchpad get some attention from others [08:25] yes. windows = main drive, ubuntu = secondary [08:26] yillkid if you installed it as a deb, then yes. if you installed via source then it will be manual. there is usually a make deb in the source, fyi [08:26] it boots into grub but not past that [08:26] arunkumar413, ah heh no launchpad is not for that purpose [08:26] !grub2 | re182 [08:26] re182: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

It will help [08:26] bricky: install dpatch [08:27] sweetpi: sick! [08:27] I shall try that now [08:28] AAA: You say even if the "build-essential" is depend on "nVidia driver", but if I install "build-essential" before "nVidia driver", then I can purge build-essential", and won't break "nVidia driver" ?

[08:30] indus: the author didnt provide any contact details [08:30] yillkid build-essential will only give you the tools to build drivers and programs and such. however, if you have all the tools to build the nvidia code from source, you should be able to also make a deb for your system. once you install that deb you will be able to --purge those files when you choose [08:30] indus: ok got it [08:31] arunkumar413, why do you need this software > [08:31] how do I change bg color in lynx? [08:32] indus: it is a schematic editor to draw electronic schematic diagrams [08:33] AAA: I know, but if I excute #aptitude install nvidia-glx-185, then I install the driver, and I will spend 334MB space for HDD, I have no choice for minimal install ?

[08:49] :( [08:49] arunkumar413, so dia doesnt not fit your needs? [08:50] indus: no it doesnt [08:50] VanessaE, the #ubuntu-kernel team might be of help [08:50] VanessaE is there a card in the reader? if not can you put one in? do you have an usb mouse or another usb thing to plug in?

Thats why i zeroed on this and trying to customize [08:52] AAA: one second. [08:52] /ignore TheExplorer [08:52] Whoops. [08:52] VanessaE also, you have 3 usb1 ports and 1 usb2 port. you might try changing the usb port you plug into [08:52] arunkumar413, did you try this one though [08:52] and here i was going for a joke. [08:52] VanessaE: http://pastebin.com/tpyftjD7 [08:52] TheExplorer: being annoying on purpose is akin to shooting yourself in the foot. good luck getting that bandaged up. [08:52] is there a way to either flash my wifi card drivers, tried multiple headers, whatever that is, since they are 'installed' but not quite [08:53] working [08:53] indus: which one electric or BSch [08:53] bricky: how do you mean flash? [08:53] arunkumar413, i dont understand why dia doesnt fit in , i heard its good for this work [08:53] arunkumar413, electric [08:53] bricky: depends on the card [08:53] AAA: http://pastebin.com/fivngzuX [08:53] doyle,actionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/nzsWkmgG [08:53] Frankly ive been scouring the net for a couple years off and on trying to figure this out. Frankly im starting to think its as close to impossible as im willing to admit [08:53] cutiyar: what country are you from? [08:53] iraq [08:53] doyle, that's my paste from earlier. [08:54] indus: no didnt try.But does it allow customising the components and IC symbols [08:54] TheExplorer: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/ubuntu-netbook-edition-1007-demoed-on.html [08:54] ActionParsnip , iraq [08:54] ActionParsnip: just jremove them, perhaps if the system could figure out which drivers failed maybe because I cant. :P [08:54] !respect [08:54] hey could someone help me? on ubuntu and cant make a freebsd 8.0 bootable usb from a iso :( [08:54] oh look, it's not there. [08:54] VanessaE: was just looking at it. Looks fine to me. When was the last time your usb ports functioned? [08:54] Gnea: broadcom 57x ;p [08:54] arunkumar413, dont know that [08:54] cutiyar: try: www.hidemyass.com and try youtube there, your government may be blocking youtube [08:55] bricky: hmmm... built-in? [08:55] but yesterday was opened [08:55] Gnea: or maybe perhaps install generic wifi drivers, for it [08:55] Gnea: yes its PCI [08:55] ActionParsnip, i thought iraq has a whitehouse today :) [08:55] indus: thats why i need a basic program that i can customize. So i choose the BSch for compiling [08:55] doyle: I've only just received this laptop a couple of weeks ago, this is the first time I have tried to use the USB since receiving it. [08:55] ActionParsnip, arent they ruled by americans [08:55] cutiyar: tey may hav implemented it overnight. there must be a time before and after the implementation mustn't there [08:55] Gnea: I can remove it, its not built in to the motherboard which is good, im tihnking thats what Ill have to do [08:55] bricky: I don't understand - pci cards aren't built-in, they're pci cards... therefore, they're removeable [08:55] ActionParsnip, I am to understand that Ubuntu has made its way to the Android phone series (arm) rather recently. [08:56] indus: no, they have their own democratic government [08:56] everytime I flush my iptables remotely my server freezes :( [08:56] Gnea: its a laptop I guess, [08:56] ActionParsnip, yeah right [08:56] VanessaE: New dell computer. Was 10.04 the system that came with it, or did you install it? [08:56] bricky: oh ok - sec [08:56] TheExplorer: that is offtopic here [08:56] , opened [08:56] cutiyar: if you can use youtube there then there is some filtering on your web access some place [08:57] I will just pick up a laptop wifi card if things dont work out, [08:57] doyle: I bought this used actually. [08:57] I don't know what it originally shipped with, but I received it pre-loaded with Karmic. [08:57] ActionParsnip,yes right may be , thanks for ur help [08:57] (my Karmic CD gives the same results as Lucid) [08:57] VanessaE: in a termainl run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' (without quots), then insert a usb device [08:57] i dont think this channel provides advice on how to circumvent gov blockages [08:57] VanessaE yes, what doyle just said [08:57] bricky: what driver are you using? [08:58] cutiyar: np man [08:58] Gnea: I dont even know anymore that's the problem lolz [08:58] indus: its just to test [08:58] VanessaE: onc eyou have some stuff in your screen, do a pastebin for us [08:58] AAA, doyle: zip, zilch, and a whole lotta nada. No reaction. [08:58] ActionParsnip, ok but a dicey situation none the less [08:58] ah [08:58] cutiyar: are you Iraqi, or foreign military or diplomatic staff? [08:58] bricky: ah, perhaps you can get your info together and try asking again then, so that way you won't seem so... trollish :) [08:58] VanessaE and you are positive there are 0 usb settings in the bios? [08:58] ActionParsnip, is he trying to use flash ? [08:58] iam iraqi [08:59] kurdy [08:59] VanessaE: how old is hte computer?

If there are USB settings, they are well hidden. [08:59] Gnea: I installed some ng-wlan generic crap after giving up on the BCM drivers , [08:59] Which failed to install properly, I can run module-assistant and see which ones I have [08:59] Gnea: also when I log off or shut down, the 'screen' should be blank, (black) but theres error messages about my bcm drivers [08:59] VanessaE, sometimes pressing ctl f1 unhides those settings [09:00] Hi, does changing the username "abc" replace "abc" in all files in '/' partition [09:00] bricky: got a log of those errors someplace that can get to pastebin? [09:00] cutiyar: WXQ ;) [09:00] , iam not working in any company , but a company gaved me wireless [09:00] bricky: you could add a logout script which unloads the driver, you may get issues if you use a multiple user system though [09:00] internet service [09:00] hello! [09:00] cutiyar: that company may have implemented a filter. [09:00] doyle: I'm not sure of the machine's age, though the labels on the bottom seem to put it in the 2003-2004 range. [09:00] rkavalap: the name is a representation of a UID so it should be ok [09:00] cutiyar, so when you try youtube what happens [09:00] ActionParsnip: not a bad idea [09:00] i need a little help to start ubuntu [09:01] thisis not an ubuntu question is it ? [09:01] Gnea: Sure, I wll try to look them up for you [09:01] indus: ctrl-F1 while looking at the BIOS? [09:01] i'm in textual mode i can't start normally [09:01] VanessaE, yeah [09:01] hrm, ok [09:01] VanessaE, iam sure dell hides most options from users [09:01] what can i try? [09:01] , what u meant? [09:01] Let me go take a look. [09:01] bricky: that'd be great [09:02] sercik, try booting in safe graphics mode [09:02] VanessaE: OK, ultimate test, get a usb key, install a bootable piece of software on it, then try to boot to it. [09:02] sercik, i mean, have you finished instalaltion > [09:02] ActionParsnip: I agree with you. But I would like everything including home directory name, and etc to be replaced with the new username [09:02] indus could you explain me? [09:02] VanessaE: OR, grab a keyboard and watch the lights on it to see if they flash durring boot === Sebas310_ is now known as Sebas310 [09:02] sercik, what graphics card do you have [09:02] sercik, which ubuntu version etc === kinks is now known as Kyuu [09:03] ati radeon hd4850 [09:03] sercik, excellent me too [09:03] rkavalap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=64021 [09:03] VanessaE: this'll at least tell us if your computer detects the device at the hardware level. [09:03] ubuntu 9 [09:03] i think karmic [09:03] sercik, did you install any driver for the card? [09:03] no [09:03] doyle if the kernel saw it on the hw level dmesg/syslog will say so [09:03] i only installed ubuntu [09:03] and then i start it [09:03] sercik, and you never saw a desktop ? [09:04] i had some problems also for installation [09:04] nono [09:04] sercik, what problems [09:04] never [09:04] rkavalap: you may have to run: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER to set the ownership to the name (covers all bases ;)) [09:04] VanessaE doyle i agree, try to boot from a usb device and that will rule out the kernel [09:04] sercik: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [09:04] sercik, press ctl -alt f1 and see if any messages are seen [09:04] ActionParsnip, ya thanks please help him , i have to go have lunch :) [09:04] indus system hangs completely [09:04] i can't press anything === Kyuu is now known as kinks [09:05] i also try to remove quiet and splash from grub commandline before start === eric is now known as Guest80211 [09:05] AAA: exactly. Seperate hardware and software issues then resolve. [09:05] sercik: did you verify the ISO you downloaded was good before using it? [09:05] Gnea: umm, my /var/log/messages file only has june 20-24th hmm [09:05] wait me that i try to restart normally and try to obtain some information [09:05] Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me with a video encoding problem? I have some video files ( avi ) that I downloaded and they have 2 audio tracks (German, and English) Apparently they are encoded with GErman as Default. Is there some way I can change this? If so, how and what program do I need? [09:06] Gnea: my bad it is the 24th [09:06] Synaptic: "libgdata-google1.2-1 -- Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface. This package is a client library to access Google services through a SOAP interface." What does 'POA' stand for? [09:06] VanessaE: Good luck. I'm going to sleep. If the system just flat out doesn't see the usb device, it's just bad luck, but if the system sees the device then your installation of Ubuntu can be fixed to do the same. [09:06] abuayyoub: i believe vlc can do that sort of thing [09:06] Good work AAA. Peace [09:06] bricky: good thing there's a /var/log/messages.0 and /var/log/messages.1.gz, right? [09:06] :) [09:07] it may be .1 and .2.gz [09:07] nope, no good. There are definitely no USB settings in there other than an emulation setting for keyboard/mouse [09:07] doyle sleep well [09:07] (nothing that would turn the device on/off) [09:07] ActionParsnip, I have tried to change some VLC settings but I couldn't come up with anything. I changed the prefered audio to English but it still defaults to German. This wouldn't be a problem but it kinda ruins the idea of making playlists. [09:07] Gnea: its just throwing me off since it doesnt have any bcm43xx not found [09:08] Gnea: Yeah [09:08] VanessaE_ do you have a) usb keyboard b) usb stick ? [09:08] AAA: no and no. [09:08] wow this time works [09:08] I have only a mouse, a card reader, and a HD. [09:08] it is very strange [09:09] <[mu]keiserr> any clue http://pastebin.com/vaKzjggJ [09:09] i have a question.. where is menu.lst ? [09:09] VanessaE_ can you boot to the install CD with usb mouse plugged in and see if dmesg/lsusb see's it? [09:09] AAA: I could try, sure. [09:09] abuayyoub: mencoder can do it but the syntax escapes me, see what you can find online while I help [09:09] sercik: grub2 doesnt use that file no more [09:09] !grub2 | sercik [09:09] sercik: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [09:09] brb. [09:09] VanessaE_ and do you have a card for your card reader? anything you could put in it? [09:09] mencoder, great thank you. [09:10] AAA: thanks, u2. Yea! Boot to the install cd and see if you can use the mouse! You'r a genus AAA [09:10] mencoder ++ [09:10] Sure, I have a couple of cards to try [09:10] abuayyoub: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=639843 [09:10] grr [09:10] i can't understand why is neede to change that works very good [09:10] this is the biggest linux problem for me [09:10] i don't want to update a program, how can i do it? [09:10] VanessaE_ before reboot. unplug the reader, put a card in it and re-insergt [09:10] well [09:11] thanks but no thanx [09:11] did anyone see where I put my Karmic CD? :) [09:11] abuayyoub: better: mencoder yourvideo -audiofile youraudio -ovc copy -oac copy -o result.avi [09:11] any girl for sex camm2cam [09:11] antonio_ find the program's package in synaptic and you can flag it to not update [09:11] cam2camsex: stop that [09:11] get lost cam2cam [09:11] wrong room cam2camsex [09:11] VanessaE_ you said 10.4? karmic is 9.10 [09:11] cam2camsex i'm certian that's offtopic [09:11] rofl [09:11] I don't appreciate sex advanced by privcate msg [09:11] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the link. [09:11] abuayyoub: just change "yourvideo" and "youraudio" with the files you have [09:11] VanessaE_: apparently that's already been done [09:12] <_slax0r_> hi, how can I check on ubuntu for installed packages? [09:12] AAA: indeed I did. I am running Lucid, but at present I only have a Karmic disc handy to boot from [09:12] _slax0r_: dpkg -l | less will show all installed packages [09:12] (if I can figure out where I put it) [09:12] Hi there [09:12] ActionParsnip, but the audio's are in the AVI file. all i know is track 1 is german ( which I want to remove) and track 2 is English. I don't have any specific information on the audio track file names or formats [09:13] VanessaE_ I'm very curious to see dmesg and lsusb when the card is in the usb reader [09:13] <_slax0r_> thanks [09:13] abuayyoub: do you not have 3 files, the video, the german audio file and the english audio file? [09:13] ActionParsnip, no, I just have one AVI file [09:13] abuayyoub: IIRC, VLC can strip out particular audio tracks. [09:13] abuayyoub: not sure then [09:14] mneptok, You can do it with VLC? how? [09:14] I have bad sectors on my hard drive. [09:14] It passed the SMART assesment. [09:14] abuayyoub: i *think* i remember doing it with VLC. [09:14] But I don't know what to do about the sectors. [09:14] abuayyoub you can tell mencoder which audio track to use pretty simple [09:14] ok, located my boot CD. [09:14] 317 bad sectors. [09:14] Robin___: the drive is dying, grab a new one asap [09:15] Is that the whole hard drive? [09:15] Oh.. [09:15] AAA, ok I will try Mencoder now. [09:15] ;_; [09:15] Robin___: they will spread and the drive will become uselesss. Make sure your backups are recent [09:15] what does the webclient do in "transmission"??? [09:15] abuayyoub -alang de [09:15] you can connect to the web interface and manage your torrents [09:15] if you like transmission you could try transgui [09:16] Robin__ i used a 30gb drive with about 3gb worth of bad sectors for about a year under 8.04...worked fine for me, it's just some of my files would get corrupt [09:16] hi guys [09:16] but if you only use transmission loically weg gui or transgui is not needed [09:16] im trying to use program from milworm [09:16] how can i tell if port 10000 is open, or if webmin is running? its installed, normally works, but if i goto ip:10000 it doesnt work today [09:16] but says [09:16] http://pastebin.com/4mNCW4kV [09:16] ubufool: some apps plug into transmissions we interface like transdroid for Android phones and you can even click links in the browser and it will tell the server to download stuff [09:16] vulkan...you could defragment and fix that? [09:16] fuck [09:16] Batch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:16] wants a dad show me how I can install the Adobe Flash Player [09:16] AAA: ok, before the reboot as requested - plugging the reader in with the card already inserted does nothing at all - no response from the kernel in dmesg [09:16] what's the big woop about dropbox? I don't get it... [09:16] !webmin | AdvoWork: [09:16] AdvoWork:: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.

Will that matter? [09:19] help! [09:20] does anybody know the syntax of the command to quit and restart the panel? [09:20] I want to change background color in lynx. Can't find such an option.

[09:21] hi i have a question. I'd like to run byobu when i start the terminal, unless byobu is already running in which case i want it to run byobu -r. How can I do this in .bashrc? [09:22] vu1kan: webpage background in lynx, I want it be white [09:22] EvilTrek you'll need an if then statement. I don't have the rc entry for you though [09:22] EvilTrek: ps + grep + if/else? [09:23] gryllida i think that's in system>prefs>appearance [09:23] mneptok: how exactly would i do that, as in what's the if's conditional statement? (NOTE: I am not familiar to .bashrc's if statement :P) [09:23] is there a programming chan specific to linux? [09:23] gwda: #linux [09:23] mneptok I think it is easier than that. bash has a builtin for determining if a proc is running EvilTrek [09:23] ActionParsnip, thanks for the help.. it was somehow stopped, i did /etc/init.d/webmin start and its fine now.. [09:23] programming... [09:24] gtk to be specific [09:24] AAA: wouldn't know. i'm a zsh user. [09:24] gwda: i'd ask in #gtk if it exists or #gnome [09:24] AAA: question is how would I go about setting that to check in the if [09:24] o.O [09:24] ActionParsnip: Quick question, I can't login as root to using the login screen to change the username. How can login as root using the login screen ? [09:24] i installed 10.04 on my friends machine, which has a cd drive top, and a dvd drive below. the manual eject button on the dvd drive seems to be broken, and there is no pinhole to open it with a paper clip. how would i set a panel launch command to open that drive? on my laptop i set one just with the command 'eject' which works to open my singular cd/dvd drive, and it works great. [09:24] bricky: okay [09:24] EvilTrek it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't pull it off [09:24] !noroot | rkavalap [09:24] rkavalap: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [09:25] rkavalap: you dont need to log in as root and it isn't advised [09:25] Gnea: that's the error I got after installing that previous file [09:25] AAA: could I do like " if [pidof byobu | grep = ""] " or something, or am i completely crazy and that won't work [09:25] rkavalap: you have sudo and gksudo if you need any admin access as your user will be in the admin group [09:25] Good Day Guys [09:26] ok, back, this time using the PC [09:26] i just moved over to ubunut for various reason [09:26] and i am finding that it is very unresponsive [09:26] ActionParsnip: without logging into root how can I change my username which is the only other user on the machine ? [09:26] why is this and how does one sort it out [09:26] (hm, hands got used to the laptop keyboard...the regular one feels weird now. :-) ) [09:26] bricky: what's the error? [09:26] rkavalap: its not good to login as root on the shell, because sudo is doing the job but using root with gdm is the badest idea you can have in the gnu/linux world. [09:26] rkavalap: use sudo and gksudo as I said [09:26] Synaptic: "libgdata-google1.2-1 -- Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface. This package is a client library to access Google services through a SOAP interface." What does 'POA' stand for?

You know after you've done a kernel update, then you have to re-Activate the NVIDIA drivers through Hardware Drivers. When I open Hardware Drivers however, I get a Jockey crash. How can I re-activate my NVIDIA drivers in the Shell? [09:27] Gnea: yes [09:27] VanessaE does the install see the usb stuff? [09:27] bricky: and where did you download the source from? repository or broadcom's website? [09:27] ActionParsnip: I agree logging into root using gdm is bad idea. But I can't change the user which is running according to the usermod manpage. [09:28] VanessaE ctl-alt-f4 I think for a new shell [09:28] vu1kan: hm [09:28] Gnea: yes it was a repo [09:28] bricky: bcm5700-source ?

Please note the bios sata mode is set to enhanced.... I read something about this... [09:33] AAA, if I wanted to do this as a batch how would I do it using mencoder? I found a program called AVIDemux which can easily remove or change the default audio track, however it will take me 20 years to do the 300 or so files I need to edit. Is there a way I can batch edit an entire folder?? [09:33] vu1kan: lynx bg color? in system prefs appearance? can't see it there [09:33] EvilTrek ; [09:34] amazon down or just me [09:34] abuayyoub for i in *.file ; do mencoder -options ; done [09:34] bricky: okay, I'm installing the source tree - in the meantime, you should go through the checklist to make sure your environment is setup correctly to compile [09:34] !compile | bricky [09:34] bricky: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [09:34] EvilTrek errr. s/else/then? [09:34] ok, CD is booted.

[09:36] i need help please [09:36] iceroot: yeah I have an iPod 6G and I can't get any alternate firmware to get it to play flac :( [09:36] gryllida in the apperances dialouge, if you hit customize on the theme tab, then hit the colors tab there's a 'windows' parameter...is that set to #FFFFFF? [09:36] IceGuest_75: please explain your problem and someone will likely try to help [09:36] VanessaE you can try and load some usb modules with debug, but it really sounds like you have bad hardward [09:36] Gnea: okay, well its downloading stuff so that's good [09:36] AAA: I was afraid you'd say that :( [09:37] from auto make and whatnot [09:37] cool [09:37] VanessaE does the mouse and the card reader work on other computers? [09:37] unpacking the source now [09:37] okay, after a partial upgarde I no more able to install any software [09:37] AAA: sorta there... one last issue: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/PsqTJ40K [09:37] #karo [09:37] AAA: yep. I am using that very mouse now on this PC, and the card reader gets used every couple of days on my husband's box (both run Linux) [09:37] gryllida if that doesn't do it for ya, i dunno what would...you might wanna try re-asking the channel [09:37] VanessaE *gasp* have you booted this laptop with windows and seen the usb stuff work? [09:37] AAA, so " mencoder -i *.folder ??? [09:38] gryllida, Just right click desktop and set the background [09:38] AAA, sorry I lost the last command you sent [09:38] AAA: no, I have not. I don't suppose there's a Windows LiveCD out there somewhere? :) [09:38] G*d forbid I have to install that OS for any reason :) [09:38] Malevolence gryllida wants to set webpage backgrounds to white, do you maybe know where you would do that? [09:39] VanessaE: such things (Windows CDs that are free) are normally illegal. [09:39] abuayyoub no, a for loop. if you just encode everything in the folder, you'll get one bit -o output.file. for i in files ; do mencoder --stuff ; done. it is a bit more complex than that, but that is the jist [09:39] VanessaE check out livecd.com(i think that's it...gonna check here) === jtheuer_ is now known as jtheuer [09:40] EvilTrek, I know. I already have legit copies (leftover from my husband's last days as a windows user) [09:40] bricky: okay, I know my environment is setup correct, but I'm looking at the Makefile and it's so full of fail it's not even funny [09:40] amazon down or just me [09:40] abuayyoub for i in file ; do mencoder --options -o $file.convert ; done [09:40] AAA: any ideas? http://starfleet.pastebin.com/PsqTJ40K [09:40] how can i change or assign file system while running Window7 setup through USB on Ubuntu based system?

[09:42] EvilTrek try to s/"/' [09:42] Gnea: Thanks for the help so its not totally my fault woohoo, thanks man, I have had plenty of fails [09:43] Gnea: no [09:43] i just got a new router today, i have gotten most of my services working again except my ssh. when i try to log in via putty i get "server unexectedly closed the connection" and when i try to restart ssh i get "ssh: connect to host restart port 22: connection timed out" [09:43] bricky: well, it can probably be worked around, I just don't have the time to do so right now, perhaps someone else around here does [09:43] AAA: nope, still doing it, says "missing ] character" [09:43] bricky: anyway, good luck :) [09:43] Gnea: Thanks alot [09:43] sebsebseb: ah ok - gotta sleep [09:43] Have yourslef a good night [09:43] :) [09:43] cheers [09:44] yup lol [09:44] well I think I better just put this down for the night. I'm getting too tired to argue with this machine :-/ [09:44] EvilTrek I don't grok your 'grep =' syntax. try without the =. like $ grep '' [09:45] cheers [09:45] AAA: nope same issue [09:45] night.

Id like to be command line and decide between Xterm, XFCE, Gnome etc or TUI [09:49] Hi all. As a non-privileged user, I cannot automount (in /media) a cdrom when inserted. Which group should I belong to for this to work? I tried being member of cdrom group, but it doesn't seem enough. Thanks. [09:50] arunkumar413, any luck? [09:51] TheExplorer: you only need to disable autologin [09:51] MrEgg964: plugdev, which users are usually in by default [09:51] indus: mailed the author of the program for help [09:51] MrEgg964 did you log out and log back in? [09:51] arunkumar413, ya thats good [09:51] arunkumar413, is he a jap? [09:51] sercik, I mean I want my login propt to be commandline not GUI (GDM) [09:52] indeed you told how to choose from xfce gnoe etc etc [09:52] if you want commandline you could disable gdm in init.d [09:52] tsimpson; AAA : yes, I did log out and back in. Am also part of plugdev. The cdrom does automount when I log in with my admin account. [09:52] arunkumar413, its a qt app [09:53] arunkumar413, give me that link again of the software [09:53] TheExplorer: try ctrl-alt-f1 then login and then sudo telinit 3 [09:53] MrEgg964 what does this say? $ cat /etc/group|grep cdrom [09:53] indus: http://www.suigyodo.com/online/e/index.htm [09:54] TheExplorer: in runlevel 3 graphic is not started by default ok?

[09:55] moin [09:55] arunkumar413, well the run time libs are included it says, so its an executable probably [09:55] wireless keyboard won't work at GRUB level, won't let me choose available OS, HELP [09:56] AAA: and here is my fstab entry : /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [09:56] The answer to how to reconfigure Nvidia drivers in the shell is : sudo nvidia-xconfig <--- that worked for me, thanks for all your help... [09:56] arunkumar413, just have to move the runtime libs to folder or something , have you read that [09:56] indus: may be it only works on windows [09:56] indus: no [09:56] arunkumar413, try [09:56] So im having a problem with ubuntu lucid. with integrated intel graphics. something to do with the xserver. so should I downgrade to Ubuntu jaunty??? [09:56] arunkumar413, doesnt mention if its windows or linux [09:56] arunkumar413, The runtime library included in this package doesn't need the installing process. After you copy the runtime library folders into the same folder as the executable files, BSch3V is ready to use. It is useful to carry the BSch3V environment in USB flash memory. [09:57] indus: those run time libraries may work only on windows [09:57] arunkumar413, maybe [09:57] * gryllida waves to EvilTreak and reads up [09:57] MrEgg964 and $ mount /media/cdrom0 as phillip doesn't work? === omayer is now known as DaHopi [09:57] indus: can u try for me.i have slow internet connection [09:58] ok [09:58] arunkumar413, lol ok [09:58] AAA: Manual mount, you mean? I'll give that a try. [09:58] arunkumar413, but the download is stuck for me [09:58] so! how do I change bg color in lynx? [09:58] arunkumar413, ill try at home latre on [09:58] indus:ok [09:58] arunkumar413, and update you tomorrow here [09:59] indus [09:59] * indus hates compiling stuff :) [09:59] indus: ok,thanks [10:00] AAA: thanks for your help [10:01] EvilTrek you beat. ctrl-a r <-- reattach in screen [10:01] AAA: nope, it doesn't work. Maybe there is something wrong with the cd itself. [10:02] 11518 [10:02] MrEgg964 anything useful in $ dmesg | tail -n20? [10:03] guys, i've update my kvm-host, and now my kvm-client suddenly has apt-get issues [10:03] arunkumar413, maybe you are just missing some qt files [10:03] arunkumar413, wait for answer from author [10:03] AAA: not really. I'm doing this remotely, I can't actually see what kind of cd they've inserted into the drive. [10:03] indus: ok [10:03] AAA: i can easily ignore the "Attaching inside of screen?" thing, because that's not an issue. Getting byobu to run was the big thing :) [10:03] in fact: my kvm-client has all sorts of network issues, and apt-get update segfaults [10:03] indus: r u free now [10:04] arunkumar413, yea why [10:04] AAA: but what you're saying is, with cdrom and plugdev membership, I should be good to go, right? [10:04] MrEgg964 if you are remote, then ssh in and run that command [10:04] !u [10:04] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [10:04] indus: just for some pesonal chat [10:04] anyone ever experienced such a thing? [10:04] i dont necessarily agree with that factoid [10:04] arunkumar413, no sorry iam not [10:04] indus: ok [10:04] EvilTrek attaching inside of screen is typically a 'non error' it just means you are trying to attach the same screen session to you current screen [10:05] skoef: Server Edition? [10:05] MrEgg964 I would think so yes. but if it is an audio cd you can't mount it [10:06] sebsebseb: yes, kvm-host is 32bits 8.04, kvm-client is 32bits 9.10 [10:06] indus: do you think a 16 bit processor can be used for word processing using linux kernel [10:06] also, the client complains about: kernel: [40713.005075] no vm86_info: BAD [10:06] skoef: #ubuntu-server [10:06] sebsebseb: ok, thanks [10:06] AAA: ok, thanks. I'll bring my own data cd with me next time I'm at the computer, and run the test there. Thanks for your time. [10:06] skoef: np [10:06] arunkumar413, lol no idea [10:06] arunkumar413 vim/emacs yes [10:07] arunkumar413, trying to build something /? [10:07] I'm having a bizzare issue with mysql [10:07] MrEgg964 good luck [10:07] if I run sudo start mysqld, it fails to start properly [10:07] arunkumar413, which processor is this [10:07] indus: ya,an e-reader [10:07] if I then run mysqld manually myself, it works [10:07] skoef: try there [10:07] guys, does ubuntu have the same kde version in the repos as kubuntu. wanna try out kde again but would sooner install it on top of ubuntu rather than install a completely diff distro [10:07] Beelsebob: error-messages are welcome [10:07] subsequently to running mysqld myself, the server starts [10:07] j800r: yes [10:07] indus: for reading word,txt,doc,html files [10:07] j800r: uhmm [10:07] it leaves *nothing* in it's error.log [10:07] j800r: yes, they use the same repositories [10:07] nor in mysql.err [10:08] arunkumar413, probably is enough [10:08] j800r: Kubuntu is Ubuntu just with KDE instead [10:08] iceberg: as I just said – no error messages [10:08] just sudo start mysql hangs [10:08] j800r: kubuntu is ubuntu with the package "kubuntu-desktop" [10:08] until I run mysqld manually myself [10:08] j800r: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [10:08] ah, ok. thanks for that. i'm constantly torn between kde and gnome [10:08] :) [10:08] j800r: oh and I suggest KDM when it asks which log in screen to use, since its way better than GDM 2 [10:08] Beelsebob: use the binary not the service [10:08] j800r, just keep in mind, the menu will be completely cluttered with both kde and gnome apps, i dont recommend it [10:09] iceroot: useful... [10:09] Beelsebob you can start mysql in debug mode and have it log to the terminal [10:09] j800r, do a multi boot with either desktops [10:09] how to make automated cd installer ubuntu server installation without any prompt, anyone? [10:09] j800r: indus is not giving good advice [10:09] iceroot: as I just said – the problem is with the service, not mysqld [10:09] j800r: no reason to dual boot Ubuntu and Kubuntu [10:09] Beelsebob: sudo /usr/bin/mysqld (or where mysqld is stored [10:09] mysqld starts if I run it myself [10:09] sebsebseb, thanks [10:09] j800r: just have htem both installed, and log in to the one you want from the log in screen [10:09] iceroot: again, for the third time – mysqld starts if I run it manually [10:09] Beelsebob: ah ok didnt read that [10:09] before I run it manually sudo start mysql doesn't work [10:09] Beelsebob start it in debug with log to the term [10:09] after I run it manually sudo start mysql does work [10:10] j800r: you don't dual boot them, just install both gnome and kde gui packages and choose when logging on, they still share same kernel [10:10] indus: dual boot is silly for that, a virtual machine on the other hand could be good, since that way can run Gnome and KDE at the same time [10:10] AAA: AGAIN! The problem is *not* with mysql – it's with upstart [10:10] sebsebseb: hey, any idea how to change lynx webpages background to white, it [10:10] tbh, only reason i ever really kept comming back to gnome was for gwibber. but i think i have a way round that now [10:10] s black now [10:10] Beelsebob: sometimes its better to write everything in one line so we dont have to search for the usefull/important infos in the whole channel [10:10] gryllida: uhmm? [10:10] Beelsebob ah, sorry. sys v here. no hablo upstart :( [10:10] anyone know how to fix nvstor64.sys blue screen after installing ubuntu 10.04 on a windows 7 64 bit machine??? [10:11] I'm outside in the heat, my HDD becomes hot! hdparm is on 254. By setting it to 128 I have 90 load cycles per hour, too much. Can I fix this? [10:11] n3m3s1s4u: ##windows [10:11] j800r: you can run Gwibber in KDE as well, also there is a facebook applet or whatever for KDE [10:11] sebsebseb: I opened google.com in Lynx web browser, it has dark background :-( [10:11] is the ubuntu one store available in amarok as well or is it Rhythmbox or bust? [10:11] j800r: Facebook has something social as well, some sort of widget or whatever they are called in KDE [10:11] Beelsebob: so what happens? where does it get stuck? does the mysql process ever get started, does the /etc/init.d/mysql script get run? throw some debugging lines in there its all shell script :P [10:11] gryllida: Lynx is text only, its meant to be black background, with white text [10:11] gryllida: runs in terminal [10:12] although i always found lynx to be blah, try w3m :) [10:12] sebsebseb, but the default for this terminal is black text, white backround [10:12] Gytis links2 has graphix support [10:12] j800r: only Rythombox, and Banshee with another program [10:12] ddilinger: sudo start mysql hangs, and does not start any mysqld process [10:12] j800r: you can run those in KDE as well [10:12] Beelsebob: does it run the script /etc/init.d/mysql? [10:12] Beelsebob: does it start if you use /etc/init.d/mysql start instead of start mysql ? [10:12] sebsebseb, what you said is another option , but read what i said before you comment, the menu clutter is a fact [10:12] can you still use ubuntu one music store via web browser alone? [10:12] gryllida: uh I don't know, been quite a long while since I used Lynx [10:13] anyone help with Xwindows prob, cannot start x unless i run as sudo [10:13] ddilinger: no, it says "oh hey, you should use the upstart script, not the init.d one" [10:13] sebsebseb, a vm takes resources btw [10:13] indus: having quite a lot in a menu, isn't really a big deal, for most of us :) [10:13] Beelsebob: typically they say that then start anyways [10:13] Beelsebob: its more of a info statement that an actual problem [10:13] sebsebseb gryllida links2 [10:13] i mean, if i could purchase and download through my browser i'd be perfectly happy [10:13] this would delete last 22 lines of all html files in directory: sed -e :a -e '$d;N;2,22ba' -e 'P;D' *.html but the change is not permanent. how can I make it permanent? [10:13] sebsebseb, thats the plague called kde isnt it why people stick to gnome [10:13] indus: no [10:13] anyways moving on [10:14] sebsebseb: I would find it good if there was a way to forbid any apps use non-default colors in Terminal at all, or find a pref in Lynx, I wasn't able to do either; but black background isn't a thing I can read though [10:14] Beelsebob: if you look through the /etc/init.d/mysqld script you can see its still a full start script [10:14] ddilinger: well, the init.d script produces that output, *doesn't* hang, but also doesn't start mysqld [10:14] indus: some like KDE, some like Gnome, some like other stuff like LXDE and XFCE [10:14] duxbuz: do you get an error message? [10:14] Beelsebob: hmm, [10:14] indus: and people that use Ubuntu, use their edited Gnome, because thats what Ubuntu comes with [10:14] indus: that will be the main reason for most users [10:14] sebsebseb: "edited" Gnome? [10:14] hi guys, how can I copy all the hidden files in my home dir to a backup folder without ~/. and ~/.. being pulled in as well [10:14] ? [10:15] yoyoned: ye. dcopserver not running [10:15] gryllida: yeah changes that aren't upstream here and there, in 10.04, will be even more in 10.10, and only a little bit in 9.04 and 9.10 [10:15] gryllida: ubuntu customes their distribution, they dont just compile the released code [10:15] Chymera1: cd ../ <- do it several times to get out of home folder to a more topmost directory [10:15] it starts as sudo, tried changing file chmod on ICEAuthority and others mentioned [10:16] ok sebsebseb [10:16] sebsebseb: but thats kinda the point of open source. If you think you can do it better you can, if you think it only needs a tweak to be better you can do that too. [10:16] never heard of an edited gnome before now [10:16] :P [10:16] gryllida: ddilinger Yeah Ubuntu developers are starting to do much more of their own thing with Gnome. [10:16] indus ^ [10:16] sebsebseb, like what [10:17] it starts with integration [10:17] hola? [10:17] indus: see above, and if you don't understand, find out what upstream Gnome is, and how most other distros for the desktop do Gnome :D [10:17] tbh i like what Ubuntu are doing with Gnome, it's the only thing remotely attractive about it for me [10:17] whats the best tool for creating automatic backups on my external drive? rsync seems to be for remote syncs only [10:17] indus: starts with things like network configuration and whatnot that are not the same across distributions. Then they find other little things they want to change :P) [10:17] Chymera1 rsync --exclude '~/.*' ~user/ /mnt/backup/user [10:17] c3l: rsync does local too [10:18] ubuntu hardly changes gnome , i atleast havent seen it [10:18] j800r: well they got to do something I suppouse, or people will lose interest in Ubuntu, and Gnome hasn't changed that much since 2004 [10:18] duxbuz: are you starting kde? [10:18] indus: they have a lot in 10.04, but this is off topic, however if you want to know the details pm [10:18] Chymera1 --exclude is the rsync arg you want, the other rsync params are very particlular [10:18] sebsebseb, sure [10:19] hey guys there there anyone who can help? I found the best WIFI driver for my wifi and i blacklisted everything else that interferes however everytime to get my network going i have to type this: sudo modprobe rt2870sta WHy is that? [10:19] * j800r waits for kde to install [10:19] anyone using minitube? Can't skip through the videos with the slider, using 64 Bit, maybe a flash issue or is it generally not possible to seek with minitube? [10:19] raj: add that to /etc/modules [10:19] raj I don't know. you can add it to /etc/modules and it will load at boot [10:19] raj: echo rt2870sta >>/etc/modules as root [10:20] what is minitube? :\ [10:20] make sure its a double >> [10:20] sounds like something you'd get on a phone [10:20] anyone any experience on installing ubuntu on 100pc... ? [10:20] ddilinger: how can i load it in modules? [10:20] raj: open up the file and look at it, it will be very obvious [10:20] i need to create cd installer, the automated one... without any prompt... or interactive mode [10:20] j800r, a youtube player in the repos [10:21] wow, never heard of that [10:21] i just watch youtube through chromium [10:21] :c === out`Mike- is now known as Mike- [10:22] ddilinger: so i would add echo rt2870sta on that page? [10:22] raj: did you read the text at the top of that file? [10:22] anyone? [10:22] * ddilinger always forgets people use linux with a gui and not the command line :P [10:22] raj >> adds to a file. and you need to add that rt* line to the bottom of /etc/modules [10:23] ddilinger d0h! [10:23] ddilinger: yes i did. but it doesnt tell you how to add it? what should i type in there? [10:23] raj: hmm, i thought it said something like 'Put the modules you want to load in this file 1 per line" [10:23] how do i download an entire website using wget? [10:23] mneptok -r. man wget [10:23] raj: so just add a line and type in your module and save it, reboot should be all loaded without modprobe [10:23] nmvictor -r. man wget [10:24] s/wget/aria2c/ [10:24] if you have a fast network connection, aria2c much better :) [10:24] ddilinger: so you just add: rt2870sta and then save and reboot? [10:24] ddilinger better than curl? [10:24] raj: yup, on a line by itself [10:24] AAA: by far, aria2c does parallel downloads [10:24] AAA: either from same server, or multiple servers [10:24] ddilinger hot [10:25] can anyone help me with my microphone, it aint working in ubuntu, i can't select it in sound settings so i guess it's the driver [10:25] raj any module listed on 1 line in /etc/module will be loaded on boot [10:25] hello, grub2 needs 10 seconds to boot after bios screen.. with grub1 i handt these problem.. [10:25] AAA: you could point it at 10 mirrors for the same kernel source, and it will download from all of them in parallel, i can often get 4x the speed with aria2c (my net maxes as 2MB/sec though, if u have a slow connection might not be so noticable) [10:25] ok, time to boot into kde. catch you on the flipside [10:25] ddilinger: AAA THANK YOU BOTH :) [10:26] hello [10:26] ddilinger so it handles files similar to a torrent then? [10:26] exit [10:26] AAA: kinda, it also does torrents :) and ftp, http, metalink, prob a few more [10:27] never tried using it for torrents though [10:27] raj np. fyi, you can also put special module params to the drivers there. ex. thinkpad_acpi fancontrol=1 <-- you can find out all the special params by doing $ modinfo [10:28] aaa thx [10:28] hhm, minitube just froze, seems to be something wrong here, will remove the config files :) [10:28] I have a dream, that one day, computer users will judge and preffer an OS by its content and attributions and not by the time it has been around, fooling and monopolizing the entire market. I HATE WINDOWS!!!!! [10:28] AAA: thank you this means i can get 150 MBPS bit rate? on this N? [10:29] nmvictor: linux is about as old as windows, of course DOS is a little older [10:29] raj that is another discussion. my first thought is to try : $ rmmod && modprobe special=foo [10:30] ddilinger: i certainly meant around and doing good in the market [10:30] :) i luv my win 7 cuz all games and programs are make for windows not mac os not linux [10:30] AAA i only get 54M on an N network and N card :S [10:30] but linux and mac r more secure [10:30] nmvictor: hmm, i guess it depends on the market, i had a linux box before win95 came out. linux was certainly big back then but only online [10:31] raj if there are special ways to modprobe your driver that will give you more speed, then try it! and check $ dmesg afterwards [10:31] nmvictor: i guess the difference is noone else but me at my school knew what online was at the time :P [10:31] AAA thank you [10:31] Gnome 2.30.2 is out, wow [10:32] /win/win 57 [10:32] krafty linux and mac are NOT more secure. It's just that the vulerabilites require more thought than the average kiddie can provide... === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [10:32] nmvictor, whats diff in that [10:32] nmvictor: I guess 10.10 will be using something like that, since they aren't going to do Gnome 3 by default. [10:33] sebsebseb: I don't see a Gnome 3 adoption even in 11.04, to be hoest [10:33] *honest [10:33] unsequitur: from what I read it seems, they will use 11.04 and 11.10 to get Gnome 3 ready for the 12.04 LTS [10:33] krafty: it also comes down to market share. If your trying to build a giant botnet you can get 100x more clients by writing a win virus than a macos one [10:34] we need a new environment [10:34] !ot [10:34] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:34] sebsebseb: Well, IMO, I find the pilosophy behind the GNOME shell to be a little confusing [10:34] sebsebseb I thought I was hearing, just the other day, that ubuntu and gnome releases were darn near in sync [10:34] sebsebseb: The upheaval in terms of code is huge as well [10:34] can anyone help me with my microphone, it aint working in ubuntu [10:34] can anyone help me i cant boot 2 of my 3 partitions - grub2 [10:34] AAA: In the sense? 6 month release cycles? [10:35] xmagixxx: onboard? [10:35] hello [10:35] unsequitur yes, that seem to 'sync' to one another [10:35] what options can i pass to wget so that it does not try to download a file it already downloaded if the download is interupted?

[10:51] ubun7u, when you reboot can you get to login screen? where you type your name and password? [10:51] br33zie: when you boot in single user mode it will drop you straight to a root console, no X or anything like that [10:52] br33zie: from in there you want to run the fsck program against the hard drive partition that has /home on it [10:52] what command do i run [10:52] br33zie depends on what you're debuging?

[10:57] yeah [10:57] br33zie look in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and see if they match fstab [10:57] ssalif00: beyond that if your keyboard doesn't work in grub thats a bios issue, you have to configure your bios to use usb keyboard or something [10:58] Ssalif00: grub doesn't really do any hardware interfacing, it just talks to the bios IIRC [10:58] Joshmuffin, but still its not the way to pm anyone unknown directly? Wht if I give him wrong info? and hack him? tell him to ask here only [10:58] hmm, thats not a bad idea. Make some fake packages and encourage people to install them via pm :P [10:58] abhi_nav, I'm not saying he should PM, I'm just saying he did post in channel [10:58] i am noob, so do i cd into dev/sda and ls?

[11:04] Ssalif00: if its about the wireless keyboard, that has to be configured with your motherboards bios.

[11:07] booi that user needs ssh rights. gimme a sec [11:07] it just initializes network drivers [11:07] ubun7u, reinstall grub [11:07] then it just hangs [11:07] how? [11:07] defile no, but fatfinger proof ;) the terminal settings are, you are correct. I was just posing an example question :) [11:08] br33zie: actually yea, you should be able to fsck it directly from the live cd [11:08] from live cd can i install to hard disk [11:08] AAA, or on a terminal please try 'useradd tempuser -p abcd' . try loggin in with tempuser now.

[11:09] my ubuntu wont reboot [11:09] it hangs [11:09] sucks [11:09] ok i unmounted the partition using unmount /dev/sda6 and then tried to check using sudo fsck /dev/sda6 [11:09] AAA, --password is supposed to be encrypted. so now do i try to login with decrypt(abcd) ? . no ive already used useradd. [11:09] eitreach: a couple lines of python/php/perl should do the trick [11:09] ubun7u, where does it hang? [11:09] after instializzing a few drivers [11:09] /dev/sda6: clean, 3725/10272768 files, 1032911/41066148 blocks [11:09] ubun7u, which versino you are using? [11:09] eitreach the entire what?

[11:10] it worked fine [11:10] br33zie: it says its clean? hmm, go ahead and give it a reboot [11:10] bosky101 useradd and adduser do 2 different things, fyi [11:10] ok [11:10] let me try that real fast [11:10] then i pressed pwer button to reboot [11:10] eitreach: the easiest way will be a short script to spit out all the numbers, basically just walk through the days of the year and spit out a url for each [11:10] eitreach with wget? isn't -R the recursive spider option? [11:10] now it hangs no splash screen [11:10] AAA, alright. but i happened to do 'useradd tempuser -p abcd' . how do i now login via tempuser [11:10] eitreach: then feed that url list into wget or something. a recursive wget might do the trick to [11:10] ubun7u, powerbutton as in the button on the computer itself? [11:10] ubun7u splash screen like the purple ubuntu screen? [11:11] yes [11:11] yes [11:11] bosky101 su [11:11] nothing shows up [11:11] strange [11:11] bosky101 or use the gdm/x login [11:11] eitreach: be carefull with the recursive wget though, irclogs.ubuntu.com has prob a hundred channels loged not just this one :) [11:11] ubun7u, might this help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [11:11] AAA, haven't tried something like this before, so.. :) I'll try wget though. [11:11] probably a driver that conflicted [11:11] with the os [11:11] ubun7u, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=reinstall+grub+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [11:11] are you dualbooting [11:11] eitreach: howabout google? use "site:irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010" as the begining of the search [11:11] eitreach not sure what it is you're doing dude [11:11] ya you are [11:11] id recommend deleting whatever os you have and just install ubuntu by itself [11:11] no dual boot [11:12] anyone familiar with: "hda intel spurious response" error on system startup ? [11:12] ubuntu gets kinda jealous [11:12] no dual boot [11:12] has ubun7u corrupted by force shutting down posiblee? [11:12] probably [11:12] id reinstall [11:12] might be i dont knw [11:12] try again [11:12] AAA, There's been rumours about trash talk in the main ubuntu-dk support channel, so.. I'm looking into it. :) [11:12] format the hd and all [11:12] reinstall again? [11:12] no no [11:12] ddilinger, ah.. so that's how to use that. Thanks. [11:12] thts why i am asking for an alternate [11:12] AAA, i am now locked out the node. since i am ssh'ing, what password could i use to login? [11:12] ubun7u if your stuck on splash screen [11:13] there isnt much you can do but reinstall [11:13] ubun7u, id agree with jkalex05 this time to restart press the button in the top right hand corner [11:13] i would lose my data [11:13] bosky101 the account/pass you used to install ubuntu [11:13] no splash screen also [11:13] bosky101 but ssh is not enabled by default. if you didn't turn on ssh, it is not running [11:14] ubun7u, salvage it while booted on liveusb [11:14] AAA, it was root. but root is not in AllowUsers of sshd_config. [11:14] ya liveusb that shit [11:14] any other option plz [11:14] but you probably dont have a big enoough hd right [11:14] there are no other optionsman [11:14] ubun7u, try kicking the computer? [11:14] bosky101 do you have access to the ssh server? does $ netstat -lnt | grep 22 show anything? [11:15] why would it corrupt? [11:15] i did nothing unusual [11:15] cause you rebooted during hardware install [11:15] just like everyday [11:15] ubun7u data corupts [11:15] because force shutdowns are the devil [11:15] omg i didnt [11:15] lie [11:15] lies [11:15] lier [11:15] ubuntu would be fine [11:15] if you didnt [11:15] jkalex05: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:15] not during hardware install [11:16] ubuntu just doesnt randomly stop working [11:16] ubun7u, your only home is to chuck your computer at a wall [11:16] why force shutdown shouldnt be done if it hangs === xfact_ is now known as xfact [11:16] no [11:16] why do i get the feeling this channel is being particularly unhelpful right now [11:16] isnt there a way around it [11:16] because it can be updating the os while its restarting [11:16] LjL because you haven't asked any questions? [11:16] unfortunately no [11:16] * abhi_nav agrees with LjL [11:16] AAA: well, i have no questions. i'm just seeing what's going on. [11:17] * jkalex05 snorts another line of cocaine [11:17] whats the next question [11:17] jkalex05: that is not appropriate [11:17] Grub2 - ERROR: You must load kernel first, anyone willing to help [11:17] AAA, no im logged out and trying to access the node again via root or tempuser. only tempuser exists in sshd_config's AllowUsers. and tempuser's password was set using 'useradd tempuser -p tempp', so i dont know what's real password is. [11:17] joshmuffin the problem is you have grub2 [11:17] use grub [11:17] bit late for that [11:17] jkalex05: GRUB2 is the currently supported bootloader under Ubuntu [11:17] AAA, any option to reisntalling ubuntu ? [11:17] jesus plz help me [11:18] jkalex05, your problem is a drug addiction:) [11:18] bosky101 reinstall is not needed here [11:18] Joshmuffin, follow instrucion on grub2 wiki page. you have to uprade grub2 using some command [11:18] ubun7u, jesus isnt real [11:18] abhi_nav, i know [11:18] cocaine is a hell of a drug [11:18] jesus is out of town. will return with second coming. [11:18] abhi_nav, i did [11:18] Joshmuffin, hmm ok [11:18] says so on his front door.

[11:19] is there any file that could be changed [11:19] its probably a driver [11:19] ubun7u, im sorry bro but there is no other option [11:20] reformat and install [11:20] AAA, its on a hosting providers on another continent and physical is the last option. there is account called tempuser on the remote machine created through 'useradd tempuser -p tempp' [11:20] ubun7u, can you summarize what happened for me? [11:20] yes [11:20] thanx ddilinger :) u r the man [11:20] linux isnt like windows you cant just do a restore to yesterday if you fux it up [11:20] AAA, but im not able to ssh with tempuser@node with tempp. authentication failed. [11:20] jkalex05: depends on the backups you keep :P [11:20] i pressed the power while my ubuntu was resarting bcoz it took time [11:20] the i rebstarted again [11:21] basically he raped his os in the ass [11:21] jkalex05: a copy of /etc along with dpkg --get-selections and you can pretty much get it all back(not counting user settings) [11:21] and now it wont boot [11:21] but it just hangs after initializing couple drivers [11:21] !language | jkalex05, stop being inappropriate like that [11:21] jkalex05, stop being inappropriate like that: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[11:21] not if you cant load [11:21] it [11:21] kmandla: Where's the blog? [11:21] ubun7u: were you doing anything special when you rebooted? installing upgrades, something? [11:21] doleyb_ you will need either a) give a passwd to tempuser b) have tempuser access on the server to edit ~/.ssh/identity [11:21] LjL he was updating drivers [11:21] no [11:22] no upgrade [11:22] jkalex05: DVD's, external media [11:22] upto date [11:22] ubun7u: have you tried booting into recovery mode? [11:22] yes [11:22] bosky101 tempuser either needs a passwd or an ssh rsa/dsa key for auth [11:22] jkalex05: you can always load it, i loaded ubuntu onto a netbook with only a network cable and another PC [11:22] ubun7u: have you tried booting with the init=/bin/bash kernel option? [11:22] any ideas for a public SSH server for me to run a test on? [11:22] ubun7u, is english your first language? if your finding it hard to comunicate try a regional ubuntu channel [11:23] lol josh [11:23] thats preety dick [11:23] ubun7u - have you tried booting to a Live CD and running fsck? [11:23] LjL how would i do that [11:23] OpenSourcedNick: install a local one [11:23] iceroot: one win? [11:23] jkalex05: was actualy quite impressed by the time i was done, network bootstrapping the install process :) [11:23] iceroot: on win? [11:23] OpenSourcedNick: cygwin [11:23] i can brose my whole diskon livecd [11:23] jkalex05, shout us a line? [11:23] OpenSourcedNick: linux-live-cd, virtualbox [11:24] ubun7u you might wanna try windows [11:24] iceroot: installed - cygwin doesn't have sudo and stuff [11:24] ubun7u: well, in your GRUB menu, you need to edit your kernel command line and add init=/bin/bash on the line where it also says "quiet" among other things. i cannot be much more specific because i've only used GRUB 1, not GRUB 2 [11:24] that might work for you [11:24] zaaj: yea we tried that, fsck came up clean [11:24] OpenSourcedNick: then use a live-cd or a vm [11:24] ubun7u: are you on the same computer you have ubuntu on now? (i ask to know whether you can stay on irc while rebooting and trying stuff) [11:24] yes [11:24] OpenSourcedNick: a VM is prob your best bet. You can fit a linux VM in a tiny ammount of memory if you dont need X [11:24] on live cd [11:24] ubun7u, maybe use a typewriter instead of a computer, there easier to opperate [11:25] rofl [11:25] http://wubi-installer.org how about that? [11:25] whatever [11:25] Joshmuffin, jkalex05: stop trolling. [11:25] अभी मै पक रहा हु [11:25] ubun7u: please ignore these two [11:25] Sorry [11:25] ill stop [11:25] im just playing [11:25] i got a bit carried away [11:25] this is not a channel for "playing" [11:25] i need some help and people keep laughing [11:25] does anyone know an equivalent to ultravpn used in windows? [11:25] ubun7u try running fsck [11:25] OpenSourcedNick: google "Free Shell Account" [11:26] if your using live cd on the pc having issues [11:26] OpenSourcedNick: you just want a test ssh server, a virtual machine is as easy as it gets [11:26] i want to manually rebuild the nvidia binary driver kernel module. how to do so ? [11:26] OpenSourcedNick: your virtual machine doesn't even need the install process run, it can boot a livecd [11:26] ubun7u: well, i'm not laughing. the last part is actually good advice anyway, you can try a manual fsck to see if the filesystem got corrupted [11:26] can anyone suggest an application for changing fan speeds? I'm on a macbook and its getting a bit toasty... [11:26] OpenSourcedNick: www.virtualbox.org [11:26] lost_: hmm, never tried to do it manually, does it not work through the nvidia installer? [11:26] ubun7u, what does it get stuck on exactly [11:26] ddilinger: thanks. I just want to run something before I do it on the DEV server and I don't want to feel silly (don't have direct access to it so I have to try) [11:26] joshmuffin he is stuck on ubuntu splash screen [11:27] lost_ are you running a driver that came with an install script? [11:27] jkalex05, as in the purple and yellow ubuntu splash thingy [11:27] it initialized couple of virtual netowk drivers then nothing blank screen [11:27] ennui for now just suspend and resume and the fan will kick in on high [11:27] ya [11:27] ddil : it says something like sh nvidia* -k but i am unsure [11:27] Joshmuffin: i beleive a while back he mentioned fsck errored out and returned 8 as its exit code, which is why we started at fsck [11:27] ennui fancontrol and acpitools. not sure about mac compat [11:27] ubun7u seems like you corrupted your os [11:27] that restart probably did it [11:28] infact im preety sure thats whats caused it [11:28] ubun7u, what are you worried about loosing from reinstalling? you can back everything up very easily [11:28] zaaj yes but the script failed to load [11:28] lost_: so the nvidia installer fails at compiling, or ? [11:28] ennui and lm-sensors and i2c- stuff in general [11:28] ubun7u: i've found the instruction to edit the command line in GRUB2. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Editing Menus During Boot - you will need to add "init=/bin/bash" on the line where it says "quiet splash" [11:28] i have a vm and around 10 gbs of data [11:28] lost_ can you read the script and try the steps manually? [11:28] ubun7u: but, try fsck first [11:28] Ljl i dont think thats gonna work [11:29] hi i have set up localhost. i dont know where the folders are on my cpu for the localhost [11:29] zachary: in relation to what? === zachary is now known as Guest84412 [11:29] jkalex05: why not? unless the kernel or /bin/bash are corrupted, it shouldn't touch any other files [11:29] terminal -> cd [11:29] zachary: what program are you trying to use [11:29] zaaj wait i am gonna check that [11:29] ddilinger, i am just trying to put files on my localhost to work on them [11:29] Guest84412: well, localhost is the same as your PC [11:30] Guest84412: any file on your PC is on localhost [11:30] ddilinger, so where would i put a file to be seen at the root of localhost? [11:30] Guest84412: do you mean http://localhost/, like the web server perhaps ? [11:30] yes [11:30] 127.0.0.1 [11:31] ok, thats a much different question :) [11:31] Places > Home Folder [11:31] :) TY SO MUCH [11:31] i greatly appreciate this [11:31] Hey guys, I've a question, my bios says to me that I have 512 video memory, but ubuntu only shows me 256, why doesnt it show 512? :/ [11:31] syron, what model is your graphics card [11:31] syron: how is ubuntu only showing you 265, what are you doing to check ? [11:31] Guest84412: typically http://localhost/ points to /var/www/ on your filesystem [11:32] ddilinger, ty so much for helping me. how do i access phpmyadmin on local? [11:32] Joshmuffin, Ati HD 4330 [11:32] ikonia, I'm running the following command in terminal: lspci -v -s `lspci |grep VGA|awk {'print $1'}` [11:32] abhi_nav: अभी मै पक रहा हु what's the meaning? [11:32] [11:32] syron, i have a very similar card :P [11:32] Guest84412: phpmyadmin should do all the magic necessary during install(at least it did on my machine, i use lighttpd as the web server) just load up http://localhost/phpmyadmin./ [11:32] syron, if you have a integrated gpu it can allocate so memory for vid card [11:32] hi guys can someone help me to setup a proxy? [11:32] Guest84412: err, drop the '.' at the end there [11:32] AAA, i pasted the public key into .ssh/authorized_keys on remote, and made chmod 700 .ssh/id_rsa . that should do right. [11:32] I have the crappy ati 3100 [11:33] atcho, now i am frying [11:33] thats what it means [11:33] unfortunately I got this 4330 in my laptop, I unfortunately trusted a friend of mine who told me this notebook would be awesome, but it ain't :/ [11:33] this doesn't work for me i get Not Found (http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin). do i have to start the web server? [11:33] syron it means you are taking the first field from the grep VGA statement and using it as an arguement to the lspci statement [11:33] How do I change webpage default background in lynx or links2 or what other text browser you can suggest? [11:33] Guest84412: does 'http://localhost/' work>? [11:33] syron: that's not a factual probe of your hardware [11:34] ddilinger yes it does [11:34] syron: that is simpley the device that the device ID matches to [11:34] Guest84412: then the server is running, somehow phpmyadmin didn't do its magic though [11:34] fsck shows everything is clean [11:34] AAA: you may have to make sure the whole path from / to your authorized_keys is NOT writable by group - ssh servers are somewhat paranoid that way [11:34] bosky101 if the keys match your user and the the user key, yes [11:34] ddilinger, ah wow. should i try to install it all over again or something? [11:34] ok, but how can I see in ubuntu the actual memory of video card, if not using this command? [11:34] Guest84412: if symlinks are enabled, a command like 'sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin' should do the trick [11:35] * doesnt beleive ubun7u [11:35] and it seems that ubuntu doesn't use all graphic memory, since i'm having a lot of trouble with watching youtube vids, which has never been a problem in windows :/ [11:35] sry, I'm pretty new to ubuntu [11:35] Joshmuffin: try it with /me doesn't... command [11:35] syron: you can see with lshw - however why do you think that it's not using all your cards ram [11:35] hey guys can someone help me out with my proxy?. [11:35] syron: ati have poor "driver" support - that's more likley the problem ratehr than it not using your cards ram [11:35] Guest84412: nah, it might just be that phpmyadmin is only set up to work without configuration with lighttpd, but not apache(likely default web server) .. not really sure specifically [11:35] AAA, -vv mode says [11:35] debug1: Trying private key: /home/bosky/.ssh/identity [11:35] debug1: Trying private key: /home/bosky/.ssh/id_dsa [11:35] debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method [11:35] syron: 265mb on a card would be more than enough to show youtube videos any way [11:35] bosky101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:35] !anyone | dapeamel [11:35] dapeamel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:36] fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) /dev/sda1: clean, 169836/3481600 files, 6800743/13915648 blocks [11:36] !proxy [11:36] ddilinger, that worked!!!! [11:36] hmm [11:36] syron: I suspect it is using all your 512mb of video ram, it just has poor driver support [11:36] I agree ati vid card drivers for linux suck [11:36] AAA, why isnt it using id_rsa [11:36] ikonia, yes I've already seen that, I have had alot of problems with my card :/ [11:36] zaaj , i typed make module and got error 1 [11:36] see? [11:36] can someone help me to setup a proxy. I want to use privoxy [11:36] syron: ok - so it's doubtful it's anything to do with your video cards ram [11:36] How do I change web-page default background in Lynx or Links2 (to white) or what other text browser you can suggest? [11:36] one last q. i have a ton of kernals at boot menu. i only want one to clear up my boot menu. is there any reason not to remove my three other kernals? [11:36] bosky101 pastebin ssh -vvv -your-options please [11:37] syron: i cant see youtube vids and video memory being related, just cant [11:37] Guest84412: well, the extra kernels dont hurt anything [11:37] ddilinger, whenever I had a problem on other computers on watching flv clips or movies and I've been using windows, it has always been a driver problem :/ [11:37] Guest84412: and someday you may plug new hardware into your machine and for some reason the default kernel wont boot anymore, good to have backups to try :)\ [11:38] can someone help http://paste.ubuntu.com/454379/ [11:38] ddilinger, oh wow [11:38] ubun7u: ok then what i can suggest is 1) run "apt-get -f install" to ensure APT is in a stable state 2) install 'debsums' and run "debsums -s -g" to see what files may ended up corrupted, and then reinstall the relevant packages. to do this, you need to either manage to boot up (with init=/bin/bash possibly), or to use a chroot from the live CD, which is a bit complicated. [11:38] ddilinger yeah... in 1999 ;) [11:38] AAA, yeah should i really keep them? [11:38] AAA: you caught me, i been on freenode since before 1999 :P [11:38] Is it necessary to include the noatime attribute with ext2? or only 3 and 4 [11:38] Gryllida, Go system>Pref>Appearance then click on the theme u have on by default then hit the customize button and u can change all you want. [11:38] what do u suggest, shall I use the drivers ubuntu gave me in the system menu or shall I use ati drivers from amd.com ? [11:38] ddilinger, if it works fine now then u think i'd be fine removing them? [11:38] chroot thing can you explain [11:39] Guest84412 sorry. keep what? [11:39] AAA the extra kernals [11:39] LjL with chroot? [11:39] Guest84412: you can remove them, i personally tend to leave them because they dont hurt anything [11:39] Guest84412 if yo uhave the diskpace. sure [11:39] ddilinger, is there a way to simply not have them show on boot but keep them? [11:39] Malevolence: bg color of terminal? 1st, I don't see it there; 2nd, it's already white by default, but links2 bg color is e0e0e0, and lynx is dark bg, I was unable to change either. [11:40] ubun7u: well, chroot is a program that makes the system think the root directory is something different than what it actually is. namely, you'd use it on the live cd to make it think it's actually running from your HDD, so that you can try fixing it. however, i'm not sure just doing "chroot /media/sda1" will be enough, i must admit i've very rarely used this. [11:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9503735#post9503735 [11:40] Guest84412: hmm, but if they dont show on boot menu you cant use them :P [11:40] anyone can give hints how to match kernel source to make build [11:40] Guest84412: just look away from the screen for 15s while its booting :) [11:40] ddilinger, yeah i see ur point. just trying to not have a ton of boot options [11:40] lol [11:40] Joshmuffin, mention someone's name, who of us all should click that link, or is it your question? [11:40] Gryllida, So is it just the terminal purple coulour u want to change? [11:40] Its a question [11:41] ddilinger, but i have BRUG now :) [11:41] lol [11:41] lost_ does $ zcat /proc/config.gz show anything?

[11:45] how do i move my window buttons? i already tried gconf-editor and editing the metacity settings, but the buttons are still on the left [11:45] Gryllida, Go system>Pref>Appearance then click on the theme u have on by default then hit the customize button and u can change all you want. Is still the way to go you just have to fool around a bit and find what u like [11:45] Gryllida: always the first thing i change in terminals, i have to have a black background :) [11:45] black background, green text, and all is well in the world :) [11:45] ddilinger: it is 'solid color' there in that place where you asked me to look, but neither I know how to change or what it currently is, nor I really want tochange it, it's white bg by default in new terminal windows, it's ok, just these text browsers being nasty [11:46] Gryllida: actually go one tab to the left, the 'Colors' tab. Unclick 'use colors from system theme' [11:46] Gryllida: then choose a background color [11:46] Gryllida, how do i move my window buttons to the right? i already tried gconf-editor...

[12:04] ddilinger I am not clear on the full specs. but whst I do know is /dev/?random is what creates entropy [12:04] ANYONE [12:04] ddilinger or stores it or something. I dunno.... [12:04] CAN HELP ME ON GETTING MY TV TUNER WORK [12:04] thalib: tvtuners are a pain, your best bet is going to probably be reading the mythtv forums [12:04] bastid_raZor: Well that configurd in the conf file right? i leaved it on 22 [12:04] thalib: might be other software, but mythtv is the only one i'm familiar with that does tv tuner cards(it actualy does alot more, i think its a DVR) [12:04] ddilinger: "They were developed for console usage as opposed to terminal emulators" yeah, I want them be in text, like the terminal, can't they just use terminal bg color (white)? links2 even has it as an option, but I don't see it take any effect [12:05] ddilinger, AAA: /dev/urandom and /dev/random read from the kernel's entropy pool. They're not directly responsible for creating entropy. [12:05] Gryllida: i mean that w3m and lynx and links were written in the early 90's [12:05] abys: yes, if you run a firewall you must open TCP port 22 . that is SSH by default [12:05] abys, at a glance the second result seems to be perfect for you -http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=907845 [12:05] Gryllida: w3m actually maybee the late 90's [12:05] thalib, hi is this an analog signal [12:05] thalib, try tvtime [12:06] AAA, pastebin of ssh using -vvv http://pastebin.com/hSpXkbmL [12:06] Gryllida: but they were all written to be run outside of an X environment, where the console is pretty much black no matter what [12:06] !info tvtime [12:06] tvtime (source: tvtime): television display application.

Typically the guys in the DC are pretty good about it [12:37] bosky101: does depend on your DC though :) [12:37] masterslakk, yeah i played it when i was 12 [12:37] Joshmuffin: so, last week? [12:38] ddilinger, no! two weeks ago! [12:38] hi all [12:38] AAA, i get a prompt saying 'an app wnat to access my pvt key for 'bosky@astrix' but it is locked. enter password' [12:38] bosky101 ddilinger woah. you have dc support? [12:38] Please keep the topic of conversation related to support. Also, please review the !guidelines from the /topic [12:38] bosky101 then enter it? [12:38] AAA: dunno, thought i saw him mentioned something about that near the begining [12:39] AAA: although it was listed under the non-prefered fix methods [12:39] nice yaar [12:39] is there a media player in linux, that supports global hot keys? Like on some key movements, irrespective of whether the media player is focused or not, it should work. [12:39] my computer just freezes when ever i use the graphics card intensely... just started since i got a new LG 22" monitor... using the dvi - hdmi plug to connect it to computer [12:39] ddilinger ;) [12:39] rajeshsr_ i think vlc player does that, but it's not linux exclusive [12:40] masterslakk: sounds like an issue with your video card heat sink/fan [12:40] rajeshsr_: well, Amarok can do that, but under KDE, no idea if it'd do that on GNOME [12:40] masterslakk: try reseating it with some fresh thermal paste? [12:40] rajeshsr_, it think maybe songbird [12:40] ddillinger, is there anyway i can test that it is it without touching it? [12:40] rajeshsr_, but youll have to check [12:41] ddilinger I suggested that fix to a friend recently and just got a a quisicle stare [12:41] hi all! [12:41] Hi [12:41] masterslakk: depending on the card it may be able to report its temperature, if you can get a temperature readout you would know its bad because when its busy it just keeps getting hotter, doesn't level out [12:41] AAA, after making new .ssh , just asks for password. takes it ,but says 'Permission denied (publickey,password)' [12:42] has anyone tried office 2010 with wine and worked fine with it ?

Let me check out. [12:42] AAA, umm lm-sensors? what is that? it doesn't work in my shell... [12:42] vu1kan, BTW, how does vlc have that? I need to get some plugin? [12:43] Hello.~ [12:43] i think X can do that by default, the app just has to tell X thats what its doing [12:43] masterslakk, nvidia-settings -g gpucoretemp [12:44] vlc handles the 'media keys' on my systems - if thats what you are refering to rajeshsr_ [12:44] joshmuffin, it's so verbose... how do i minimize the output and get the exact tempature to be an easy read? [12:44] rajeshsr_ no, you just have to go into the prefs and set your hotkeys...there's a column for regular and a column for global [12:44] masterslakk lm-sensors provides support fot sensors on the i2c bus [12:44] AAA, how would i type that in the shell? [12:44] masterslakk: basicaly, lm-sensors reads your cpu and video card temp [12:44] when i type lm-sensors, it doesn't do anything [12:45] masterslakk: apt-get install lm-sensors [12:45] masterslakk cat /proc/acpi/ [12:45] plus, it doesnt find and alternative command or any packages... [12:45] masterslakk, no idea lm-sensonrs might be your best bet [12:45] !lm-sensors [12:45] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [12:45] you install the lm-sensors package then run 'sudo sensors-detect' I thought... [12:45] masterslakk, if you running conky: ${color lightgrey}NVidia GPU Temp:$color ${execi 30 nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp |grep '):' | awk '{print $4}'} C [12:45] see urls for more info above :) [12:45] Dr_Willis you signed off yesterday before i could thank you for the tip about xrandr, does exactly what i wanted it to [12:45] masterslakk: once lm-sensors is installed you can use the "sensors" command [12:45] vu1kan: of course it does! :) Thats what its designed for. [12:46] vu1kan: much better then thazt alt-ctrl-Numpad +/- trick [12:46] which audio driver has better output quality pulseaudio or alsa ? [12:46] masterslakk you may want 2 tabs at $ cat /proc/acpi/ [12:46] Andrew9: pulse audio uses alsa. [12:46] kernel -> alsa -> pulse audio. [12:46] ddillinger, the sensors command only shows motherboard and cpu temp [12:47] iceroot, fixed with patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48950983/prevu_0.5.2-0ubuntu4.debdiff [12:47] Dr_Willis: is there anything better than alsa? [12:47] masterslakk but the rest is in proc [12:47] Dr_Willis: u said dpkg -l would work and install package for dependency but it says command not recognized [12:47] masterslakk: try the command joshmuffin posted above [12:47] Andrew9: the only alternative to alsa is the newer OSS4 - and ive no idea how much work/devcelped it os. [12:47] ubuntupaws: i did? i dont recall ever doing that. [12:48] masterslakk then again, _everyting_ is in proc :) [12:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1516734 anyone able to help me with grub2 error [12:48] Andrew9: alsa and pulse work fine for me and my 5 machines [12:48] i logged with other name ..............kicking in tender right? [12:48] Dr_Willis: oss is trying to make a comeback? [12:48] that command doesn't work... it prints the output as bad substitution... could be 1 or 2> [12:48] Dr_Willis: first i had heard of that, interesting [12:48] Dr_Willis: ok thanks, i was asking because linux audio quality is garbage compared to windows... [12:48] ddilinger: yea. ive heard mention of it.. i dont keep up with it. [12:48] Dr_Willis: in my case.. [12:48] andrew9, not exactly [12:48] hey andrew......plz shut that up [12:48] Andrew9: blame the sound card makers for not documenting stuff and giving linux their support basically. === hehe is now known as Guest12463 [12:49] Andrew9: if its a very new soundcard/chipset - it may work much better in the next release. [12:49] masterslakk: not exactly? how do you know? [12:49] i personally feel linux does better job than windows bieng free [12:49] Hello! [12:49] * ddilinger blames the sound card makers for making crappy cards and convincing people that their surround sound dolby digital stuff is anthing other than junk [12:49] read DD is nice, but not the junk on cards :P [12:50] Dr_Willis: it is not very new.. creative audigy SB 4 is what i have [12:50] How can i update from karmic to lucid? I dont have that upgrade button as descibed here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:50] I find the whole surround sound thing - just a way to sell more speakers. :) [12:50] Andrew9: creative has really really really dropped the ball in their linux support in the last few years. [12:50] Dr_Willis have you ever booted into windows just to initiazile your soundcard and then used crazy modporobe io=0xfoo stuff to make it work?

[12:50] i personally feel sound cards are c......p [12:51] And I am stuck at test 5.

[12:52] Miiles, no [12:52] Dr_Willis: i have very old crappy build and i hate running windows on that, i am using kubuntu and it is much much faster, poor audio is the only downside... [12:52] Dr_Willis my point is; folks using linux 10 years ago _had_ to do funky things to make their hardware work. now, you don't, so much. [12:52] Any one can help me? [12:52] !anyone | Miiles [12:52] Miiles: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:52] wow ubustudio is much more responsive xD [12:53] !anyone [12:53] lol [12:53] thnx andrew for ur ubuntu support better run win98 [12:53] ahhhhhhhh [12:53] strawberries [12:53] AAA, talking about initializing, I think my dvb-t stick wasn't shut down properly in windows and doesn't work with ubuntu now, despite the fact that I diodn'T change anything and it worked for days before, but used win mediacenter to record some stuff and since then me-tv or tvtime or avlc can't get any channels, gonna boot up windows today to prove that theory :) [12:53] ubufool: because I don't like to ask a question unless I'm granted.. [12:53] mario_ if that doesn't work, try < update-manager --devel-release > [12:53] Miiles: its nice in theory, but doesn't work well on irc [12:54] Miles: its not like at a conference table where only one person can yell at a time :) [12:54] miiles we are given permission upon entering to ask questions relateing to ubuntu [12:54] ubutom_ fsck. /dev/yourdevnameX [12:54] Fossilet, what about your question? just ask [12:55] ubuntupaws: but i just noticed that win xp can playback 720p 7600kbsec hd quite smoothly and it makes me wanna run windows on it again..

[13:04] if not newer [13:04] ubuntupaws: i think when kde4 came out with its own widgits - a lot of the desktop-gadgets lost a lot of their momentum.

[13:16] ubottu i2c is the 2 wire bus that monitors most modern computers. it is a a simple bus that just reports that facts [13:17] hmm - so to fix an ALSA bug that's existed for a year you must break some other ALSA driver because someone forgot to include it in the backports package...

[13:18] j800r, bastid_raZor: it appears that those "puregnome" instructions actually risk making your system malfunction. i would suggest removing the "kdelibs5" package instead, since as far as i know that shouldn't cause any problems, but no guarrantees.

[13:20] AAA, yeah, well, I suspected the stick wasn't correctly shut down and so it was it seems, I recall that that can also happen to pci-cards or modems [13:20] why i get sata errors on my disk if my cd drive is plugged in? === _rwc_osc is now known as _rwc_osa [13:20] Q: Is running 'make install' as sudo recommended? Why? [13:20] lol, no big. if i had a penny for every time i've reinstalled for one reason or another i'd be a trillionaire [13:20] anybody know how to fix ubuntu 10.04 when it locks up on boot, and if you go to recovery console from the grub loader, it loads, but theres no keyboard? [13:20] Dr_Willis, I think because my name is too similar [13:20] smallfoot-: the disk is sata and the cd drive too ? both pata ? one sata the other (cd) pata? [13:20] doyle: well, "make install" generally must be run as root, or it won't be able to put files in place, unless you instructed 'configure' to use a directory inside your home [13:20] erUSUL, both are SATA [13:21] doyle: you may want to consider using "checkinstall" instead though, which tracks which files were installed and creates a removable deb package [13:21] LjL: yea, I defined a install prefix inside my home dir [13:21] doyle: then running it as root shouldn't be necessary, i believe [13:21] can someone help me with skype on Ubuntu 10.4 ? [13:22] livingdaylight, you can install it from the repos [13:22] livingdaylight what is your issue, specifically? [13:22] vulkan, the test call shows that I only have audio and no mike [13:23] FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/2.6.35-5-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/ramzswap/ramzswap.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) -- any ideas? [13:23] livingdaylight does your mic work in other applications? [13:23] LjL: Got an error 1, it couldn't create a folder. Running sudo === emc_ is now known as emc [13:23] i have a perfectly working install of skype under 10.04, all i did was dl the package from skype.com [13:23] vulkan good question [13:24] vu1kan, you don't need to. it's in the repos [13:24] where /how do I ensure that my mike in 'on' ? [13:24] enable the lucid partner repos and install via apt-get [13:24] doyle: weird. you didn't run "make" as root, did you? [13:24] livingdaylight go into your sound prefs, there should be a tab for recording [13:25] grrr.... sound preference from panel used to be handier than in 10.4 [13:26] livingdaylight, i've found the sound prefs to be easier in 10.04 :\ [13:26] must just be me [13:26] livingdaylight sorry i misspoke, the tab i was thinking of was 'input' [13:27] LjL: nope, no root used from cmake to make, Make install just isn't going. Even with sudo I get back error 1... file INSTALL cannot find "/home/doyle/koffice/lib/libkdchart.so.7.0.0". [13:27] vu1kan: ahhh... it was muted... [13:27] j800r i dled the .deb because i hadn't enabled the partner repos [13:27] why not [13:27] simple enough to do and it's plenty safe [13:27] morning [13:27] didn't know how at the time [13:27] doyle: what is it you're compiling? [13:27] ahhh [13:27] i figured it out since then [13:28] well i still recommend using the repos version. i'd be better supported :P (updates etc) [13:28] vu1kan: you genius! [13:28] LjL: koffice 2.2 [13:28] ...it's the same version... [13:28] * livingdaylight gotz his skype running now - whoopa di doo Dey! [13:28] I've set up auto login on my Ubuntu Karmic and an app I set up to start on startup doesn't want to load [13:28] livingdaylight ...not really, just a geek amongst all the corn...glad to help :) [13:29] vu1kan: you Star! I could've spent weeks hating Ubuntu... now I iz the happy bunny again [13:29] in bash, can I write dir = /var/www/ and then use a command with $dir ? [13:29] doyle: uhm you do know you can get koffice 2.2 from the backport repo in lucid? [13:30] livingdaylight always approach a problem from the ground up, start with the simple fix then move on to the more complex stuff [13:30] #gaysardegna [13:30] LjL: it's a lie! A LIE! Couldn't get 2.1.2... just assumed Ubuntu didn't like new versions of Koffice [13:30] doyle :o [13:30] what happened to just sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk? [13:31] nmvictor_: it's probably moved to the Partner repository like the jvm [13:31] vu1kan: yea, because there have been skype issues running in Ubuntu in the past I was pre-conditioned to expect misshap... Before there were other things one had to do to eventually get it to work, so, didn't even think of mike. Why is it muted by default though, in the first place? [13:31] ...and never blame the machine, more often than not the problem exists between the chair and the keyboard...the IT guy at my work loves saying that [13:32] good morning #ubuntu!! now for a gnome/compiz/metacity question: I would like to bind a hotkey that causes the first window of a specific class to be focused. I.e. I want a hotkey to auto-focus emacs, I am sick of alt-tabbing. [13:32] livingdaylight i suspect it's to prevent a feedback loop when using speakers [13:32] LjL: there's no 2.2 even with the backport repos enabled [13:32] nmvictor_: Suns Java has been moved to the partner repositories. You can get it back by enabling the partner repositories en System > Administrate > Software Sources. [13:32] I can't find any 'direct focus' hotkey in compiz [13:33] Q: How can i prevent NFS kernel deamon from freezing my bootup? [13:33] doyle: i see. well, the kubuntu.org site says there is, i just went by that. [13:33] vu1kan: is that what is going to happen now unless I re-mute my mike after using it? Should one always do this after one is done? === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [13:34] if i mounted an old install of ubuntu..will the filesystem use it's swap file too?? [13:34] livingdaylight i think the mic is only 'on' when a program tells it to be, i play music at insane volumes and i've never had it happen-and i've never had to unmute the mic when i wanna skype someone [13:34] livingdaylight, I have a really good setup for Gnome/Skype. It took me awhile to get there, until I discovered padevchooser. [13:34] i did have to unmute the mic right after install tho [13:35] LjL: Ah, ok. I'm in Ubuntu [13:35] thanks guys [13:35] livingdaylight, padevchooser is a very poorly named package, but essentially it allows you to permanently select an audio device for each application [13:35] doyle: well, there's no difference, it's the same repositories for both. [13:35] livingdaylight, my skype automatically uses my USB headset for calls, and all other audio comes out of my regular desktop speakers [13:35] noric ooo...that sounds handy [13:35] vu1kan: yea, just don't get why mike is muted by default. Most people wont think to check their mike and will think skype or whatever is not working [13:35] apparantly yes?? [13:36] livingdaylight, I accomplished this by installing padevchooser, setting it to "run on startup", and opening the "Volume Control" tab [13:36] noric: so, your install did not have mike automatically muted by default? because regardless of usb-headset or not you will need mike 'on' [13:36] vu1kan, ya it is very handy : - P. If girlfriend goes to sleep or whatever, can swap movie from speakers to headest [13:36] sooo any ideas? ive googled the problem and nothin there worked :\ [13:36] padevchooser? [13:36] livingdaylight, actually it did have it automatically muted. The default audio input device was my "regular mic", that you plug into pink jack. [13:36] padevchooser [13:37] !info padevchooser [13:37] padevchooser (source: padevchooser): PulseAudio Device Chooser. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-2ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 19 kB, installed size 132 kB [13:37] noric: yea [13:37] question: i have a 26" viewsonic monitor that is being detected as a 25" monitor with the program called 'Monitor Perference'. this is causing the 1920x1200 resolution to not display properly and other resultions are shakey as if the refresh rate is wrong. are there any recommendations? [13:37] doyle: the pacakges must have been pulled or something. it seems they *were* there at some point, judging from google. /me investigates [13:37] LjL: strange... Almost got this build though. [13:37] Thanks [13:37] Hello, wich one of you may I bother and bore for some help on installing Ubuntu 10.04? [13:37] padevchooser can be a bit tricky. Particularly, the most useful part, I found, is to select the audio sink (i.e. playback device) that each application uses, at runtime [13:37] noric: | vu1kan sounds like I want to install padevchooser? [13:37] yes [13:37] l0xar check your xorg.conf to see if it has your desired modes listed [13:37] Check out Volume Control -> Playback tab [13:37] you will be able to select the audio device for each app [13:38] is padevchooser something I need to launch or will it integrate into my Ubuntu os? [13:38] absoutely everything that plays audio is registered there; youtube, games, skype, etc [13:38] vu1kan: where is the file located? [13:38] livingdaylight, integrate. [13:38] livingdaylight, but you need to set it to auto-launch in preferences [13:38] l0xar /etc/X11/xorg.conf(note that is an uppercase X) [13:38] livingdaylight, once you select an audio device for an application, padevchooser remembers that [13:39] vu1kan: thank you! [13:39] livingdaylight, it is pretty smart. for example, the Skype startup sound comes out of my regular speakers. But, during calls, input and output goes through my headset [13:39] noric: kewl [13:39] l0xar if your desired mode isn't listed i'd suggest searching ubuntuforums.org, there's a pretty good howto over there on getting it set up [13:39] the other cool thing you can do, more advanced, is set up a 'virtual sink' which will output audio to all devices simultaneously [13:40] which can be cool if you're some kind of audio/linux nerd [13:40] vu1kan: i am running 10.04 and that folder structure does not exist. i have no X11 folder... [13:40] why sudo mv ~/ubuntu-repos/sun-java6-* ~/partner-repos ? [13:40] so uh.... anyone have any idea how I can C-S-e -> focus emacs [13:40] I'm looking for a new plugin for compiz, or some other way, to cause a hotkey to auto-focus an existing emacs session [13:40] (by window Class, most likely) [13:42] l0xar open a terminal and input with out the <>, of course [13:42] that will open the file in read-only, so you can look without making changes [13:43] I've been trying to install Ubuntu. I got the alternate CD as I read online that it would be easier to get my RAID 0 working there. Well, the installer doesn't see those disks. It's a gigabyte ga-ma790fxt-ud5p motherboard with the southbridge as the RAID controller. Any ideas? [13:43] vu1kan: the file has no text and in the X11 folder there is no 'xorg.conf' file. [13:43] noric have you tried setting up a custom keyboard shortcut? [13:43] vu1kan, in gconf-editor ? [13:43] (no ) [13:44] noric in system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts [13:44] i'm not sure how you would set it for one specific window tho [13:44] nooo mchystal is resigned! [13:44] let me check it out [13:45] doyle: by the way, i assume you have run "sudo apt-get update" after enabling backports...? i have someone telling me koffice 2.2. *should* be there, despite what packages.ubuntu.com says [13:46] LjL, doyle: Yes, its in Lucid's backports: koffice | 1:2.2.0-0ubuntu1~lucid1 | lucid-backports/universe [13:46] l0xar weird...i know that the xorg.conf file is pretty much unused in 10.04, but i've been using it to force my display into 1024x768 [13:46] Pici: did you just grep a sqlite package listing? :P [13:46] yeah, keyboard shortcuts won't do it [13:46] unless I write a script to focus my preferred window [13:46] the correct solution is a new or existing compiz plugin [13:46] Pici: "grep" as a generic verb for "to search", that is. [13:47] vu1kan: its been a while, how to i kick off the config to run through the script for xconfig to make the file? === chris_n` is now known as chris_n [13:47] l0xar i have no idea...i'm still pretty noobish, learning as i go, maybe there's a howto somewhere...i'll google it... [13:48] if anyone has an idea, let me know. [13:48] noric i'm running a voodoo 3 for my graphics...couldn't use compiz to save it's life [13:49] heh, why not? === keffie_jayx_ is now known as keffie_jayx [13:49] lol [13:49] old? new? [13:49] vu1kan: i think this is my issue; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [13:49] let me run through this and see... === radsis is now known as rat [13:51] l0xar have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution that might get what you want done [13:51] guys, when i switch to tty2 (alt+ctrl+f2) I am only able to see top 2 lines of the console. Basically the whole imgage, screen is not in the center of my lcd, but at the bottom, and I am only seeing top 2 lines. Changing resolution from 640x480 in grub.cfg to higher numbers, only worsen it and now I see absolutely nothing... [13:51] any ideas ? [13:51] noric 16mb o' vram [13:51] vu1kan, progress! apparently wmcntrl allows you to access window manager from cmd line === rat is now known as rat87 [13:51] nifty [13:51] .дшые [13:51] pelmen: ehm, have you tried running your monitor's autoconfig? [13:52] LjL: but, when I am in graphical console, everything is perfect. [13:53] pelmen: well, but it's likely a different screenmode [13:53] LjL: also when it boots, I can see console absolutely finr [13:53] hmm [13:53] hmm [13:53] LjL: No, I used rmadison. Its in the devscripts package in Ubuntu. Or use it via the web at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/madison.cgi [13:53] behold, emacs!! wmctrl -l | grep emacs | cut -f1 -d " " [13:54] 'Morning folks [13:54] morn Bl [13:55] BluesKaj* [13:55] darned autocomplete [13:55] hi TaliaPhoenix :) === Spyder|zzz is now known as SpyderBite === vu1kan1 is now known as vu1kan [13:56] yipe...that's a shortcut imma turn off...

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:07] clctowork, mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000 [14:08] Zeus^^: hmm, that should work. try adding a gid=100 at the end of the options. others have had similar problems with the live cd [14:09] Zeus^^: look for errors in /var/log/messages. If partition table was good and disk was workable at other pc you may have problems with usb cable or usb controller at this box. Ie it can not give enough current to the disk [14:09] clcto, yea it should work but live system stick to read-only mode [14:09] vu1kan: it is not about menu.lst. I want to manually boot it on grub commandline [14:09] Hi...

OR you can set up the x11vncserver (i think) [14:13] clcto: yes, you're probably right, but before mounting the share, Ubuntu needs to get access to the share, which is not happening, that's the problem [14:13] clcto, gid=100 also dont work any other tip ? === zydomason is now known as DaZ [14:13] clcto: Windows is not allowing the access from Ubuntu, no matter which username I use [14:13] Zeus^^: don't use the ubuntu live cd for that. it is slow bloated and not needed would be my only other tip. === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [14:14] toader: check Desktop user and OK [14:14] jmestrada: ntfs or fat?

[14:17] clcto, hirens boot cd..etc also dont work for usb disk... [14:17] clcto: how do you currently work in a WORKGROUP with shares in both Ubuntu and Win 7? I may try to do it like that [14:17] coolstacy, I may be wrong, but I dont think there is? [14:18] if I am, someone will correct me [14:18] clcto: did u set a WG in Win? right? [14:18] taliaPhoenix:Can u plz explain me . [14:19] clcto: and then set a Samba share in Ubuntu, correct? === has_ is now known as HebertSilva [14:19] coolstacy, unless youre are not using the bash shell, they're basically the same, the bash is just a shell, you have a terminal -- like a window GUI and on it you have the bash shell, you input commands on the "terminal" GUI window and the bash shell executes them [14:19] jmestrada: no i just accessed it [14:20] jmestrada: mounted and there was my c [14:20] clcto: both Win WG and Ubuntu Samba shared are the same name [14:20] !test [14:20] hrm? [14:21] tucemiux: so u mean bash commands are different from the basic terminal commands where we use sudo. [14:21] clcto: ok, I understand, would you help to do it that way? [14:21] nn [14:22] coolstacy, no, the terminal is what you see, the bash shell is what executes the commands and shows you the result on the terminal, to do anything you have to get onto the terminal first, you could also use bourne shell instead of bash, there's a few others [14:23] nice evening spaam [14:23] clcto|work: do you have wubi installed? I do not have menu.lst in c:\ [14:23] hoare: no. it wouldnt be in c. it would be on the linux partition. look on google [14:23] oh. is it in root.disk?

[14:28] <|backZSpwn|> i look for xlmd configs [14:29] coolstacy, empathy is like bash, it is the application itself, what you see is the GUI, like the terminal, you use the "terminal" to type commands or the GUI in empathy, in your chat application what happens in the background is taken care by empathy, the same with bash, the bash takes care of the command, similarly you can chat using another, instead of evolution you can use xchat, and instead of bash you can use bourne shell [14:30] Hello, What happen? http://nsa15.casimages.com/img/2010/06/24/100624031455653731.png [14:31] I had the warming by opening the disk utility palimpsest [14:31] since it isn't automatic, How to disable automatic disk wake up?

[14:33] I had KVM and vmware installed, but removed both.... still no wlan [14:33] coolstacy, precisely, regardless you always use a terminal -- you can choose whatever shell you want [14:33] coolstacy: theres really not a differance btween the 'shell' and the 'gui' in linux. the gui apps are still apps. they just happen to have a gui that uses X to display them. :) [14:33] Hello, does anyone speak script? I need to know how to say (command) && (regardless of success or failure) *go to* next command && (if keyword ____ = true then >) (if false then >) etc, anyone send me to a book?

[14:36] Someone else in here recommended me to mount the share, first, but I'm not specific a genius in Linux, so I'm not quite sure how to do that in a terminal [14:36] coolstacy, maybe Dr_Willis knows, the way I learned the commands is through tasks, every time I had to do a task I had to learn the commands, like how to automatically mount a second hard drive, I searched, learned the commands and took notes, eventually I remembered the commands [14:36] jmestrada, make sure you have turned off the password in windows 7 [14:36] coolstacy: 'bash,csh, dash, tsh' the program taht handles you entering command lines [14:36] !shell | coolstacy [14:36] coolstacy: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

It's been ages since I used W7, so I can't remember the exact way to do it :9 [14:39] Dr_Willis: i know there are but i what to know from experience person how did they started it, and which one they would recommend for beginners. [14:39] Gwar, ok, you mean to disable password protected for the specific shared folders... I will check it out [14:40] Gwar, thanks [14:40] jmestrada, did it work? [14:40] hello [14:40] hi [14:40] Gwar, working on it [14:41] coolstacy: go read bash guides.. pick one any one.. move to next... keep going... when using bash.. refer back to guides.. theres no magical doc to learn all the stuff at one time [14:41] coolstacy: google for some 'bash quick referance' cheet sheets also. i saw a dozen or so a month ago when i looked. they are worth printing out and keepong handy [14:41] nope.. still no wlan configuration.... ugh [14:42] lspci shows the device as well as lshw [14:42] but it's just not getting recognized as configured in anyway [14:42] unfortunately I'm not familiar with the debian ways of configuring networking :( [14:42] tucemiux: i have just passed a week using ubuntu , i have installed themes ,games app,etc but only through software centre or just by clicking. i want to lear how to install every thing using terminal. i liked some themes from other sites but they say u have to make file ,compile it using termianl and all that stuff which i find difficult.

[15:21] I've an Nvidia Gforce 7600 GS [15:22] cesc: right uhmm [15:22] cesc: system -> admin -> hardware drivers [15:22] Dr_Willis: yes, but he said none is there [15:22] erUSUL: I tried ssmtp ( sendmail -au -ap -am LOGIN smtp.server.com [15:22] cesc: thats not a really new card is it? [15:22] hey, i got a problem with my network printer (lexmark c530dn) with ubuntu 10.04. the installation was without errors and i can ping the printer+see the webinterface. but if i print something, the job does not reach the printer. but the popup says, that the job was completed and the cups-interface says the same [15:23] Varazir: well i'm nor myself user of such software so i dunno what went wrong ... [15:23] fist: is that a pretty old Lexmark? [15:23] no [15:23] cesc: so theres not a listing showing that card? or is there a List and its saying they are not in use? [15:23] fist: how old is it? [15:23] not two years [15:23] fist: right, but is it over a year? [15:23] yes [15:23] sebsebseb: but I want to learn Español so that's why. :p [15:23] erUSUL: ok [15:23] gothenburg: ah right [15:23] gothenburg: ok [15:23] does anyone know how to set up programs so that they minimize after launch on startup? the trick to it must be the command [15:23] is there some dock-like GTK application? [15:23] yes Dr_Willis when I go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers I got the message "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and the list is empty [15:24] vodl: it should be a gear [15:24] fist: ok well the bad news is, Lexmark are known for their lack of Linux support, the good news is, that with their rather recent printers, they support Linux properly [15:24] fist: even Tux the Linux mascot penguin on their boxes I read [15:24] sebsebseb: with 9.10 the printer worked fine [15:24] come again? [15:24] fist: ah right [15:24] hal is not used in 10.04 right? [15:24] Q: how can I increase the line history for terminal? [15:24] fist: well what sometimes happens with Ubuntu as well is that, hardware worked fine in a previous version, but then not the later one [15:25] !dock | drizzt_ [15:25] isolat3dsh33p: indeed === omgjoz|NZ is now known as omgjoz|SVK [15:25] cesc, you may need to installl nvidia-modprobe or something like this [15:25] come again ? [15:25] doyle: theres a setting so it can show more lines [15:25] drizzt_: there is Docky, AWN, etc, check in the Software Center for 'dock' [15:25] sebisebseb, then how do you configure touchpad in 10.04? [15:25] sebsebseb: Thanks! Found it [15:25] doyle: ok :) [15:26] sebsebseb: do you know a workaround or something? in the forums etc. is noone with my problem [15:26] when I go to System > Preferences > Appearance then Visual Effects I cannot select Extra (for the effects). Does that means I sould install the latest proprietary drivers for my Nvidia card? [15:26] fist: nope and 10.04 isn't that great anyway compared to previous releases [15:26] how to list only links? [15:26] :D [15:26] good to know [15:26] fist: 9.10 is also still supported untill the end of April next year [15:27] hey folks how does one enable a wifi network that's listed as unclaimed http://pastebin.org/356344 [15:27] sebsebseb, fist: That is only one person's opinion. Many people are happy with 10.04. [15:27] does anyone know how to set up programs so that they minimize after launch on startup? the trick to it must be the command.. [15:27] sebsebseb: Please do not spread FUD in this channel. [15:27] sebsebseb: so i will have the same problem in one year .. if i downgrade to 9.10 [15:27] Pici: What I was trying to say is that its still ok for fist to go back to 9.10, if he wants to [15:27] vodl: if using compiz - I belive you set up a rule for that also. [15:28] a solution for 10.04 would be better [15:28] sebsebseb: okay. === conflix1 is now known as ConFliX [15:28] vodl: ages ago i recall some 'start' program you could use to tweak that a little also. but that may of been a kde spefific command [15:28] vodl some programs have an option within them to do that, like pidgin, skype [15:28] Pici whats "FUD" I dont recognise the term? [15:28] fist: well 10.10 will come out on Sunday 10th October (instead of Thursday 28th) [15:29] :D [15:29] !fud | TaliaPhoenix [15:29] TaliaPhoenix: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt [15:29] yea but not all [15:29] How do I change default runlevel in ubuntu I see no /etc/inittab [15:29] Pici: Oh theres a factoid for that, is it new? [15:29] sebsebseb: nope. [15:29] what's the console command for minimizing a window? [15:29] Pici: well first time I seen it [15:29] !runlevel | elb0w` [15:29] elb0w`: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [15:29] vodl i have no idea...i'm pretty noobish [15:29] sebsebseb: Yep, we don't use it that much. [15:30] hi all, is there a window manager that works well with a remote? I'm looking for something nice to switch between boxee and myth when I exit either one with the remote [15:30] basically when I exit let's say myth, i'd like a window manager with 2 icons, 1 for myth, the other for boxee [15:31] h00k, I have no idea what that means [15:31] anyone else know the command to minimize a window? [15:32] !upstart | elb0w` [15:32] elb0w`: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [15:32] somebody who knows how to fix permission denied(publickey) when using ssh [15:32] vodl: i dont think there is such a command. at least not one thats 'standard' [15:33] vodl: there may be some x macro type tools that can sort of do it. [15:33] oh alright [15:33] don't want it that much :D [15:33] hey guys how can we run virtual box [15:33] vodl: theres also proberly some compiz features that can fake it.

[15:34] vodl: You might want to look into xdotool [15:34] thank you ubottu [15:34] abys: thats not a very helpful answer, but i'll give joobong one :) [15:34] BluesKaj: No idea. ive never heard of that term used befor with wireless. [15:34] !thanks | ubottu [15:34] sebsebseb: You're welcome!

I would have to double check.. but i thought it did. I set up some things to be always on top, on specific desktops and mazamized.,. cant recall ever using [15:37] done trying but thanks for the tip :) [15:37] Need some help with ssh , i did everything to prevent getting "Permission denied (publickey)" [15:37] one for minimize [15:37] bazhang: So during the alternate install CD I was prompted to encrypt my home directory... is this the only level of encryption in ubuntu during installation?

[15:58] step 4 of the installer [15:58] Be more clear in your answers :) [15:59] step 4 of the ubuntu installer [15:59] I am booted into ubuntu [15:59] bluntu: so you used unetbootin - to put the iso on the HD.. booted the HD? [15:59] yes [15:59] bluntu: and youa re trying to install to the SAME hard drive as the unetbootin booted from? [15:59] yes [15:59] thats proberly the issue then. [15:59] not possible?

[16:01] Dr_Willis: the computer doesn;t allow startup from USB [16:01] xshyamx: yes. I'm not sure what to suggest next! Completely remove / purge and re-install?

[16:01] x-sane only sees my web cam not scanner what uo wit dat??? [16:01] Dr_Willis: but Gparted requires me to boot from cd right? [16:01] bluntu: then install to a 2nd partion other then the one you used unetbootin on. [16:02] bluntu: No it does not. Your unetbootin 'setup' IS basically the same as booting from cd also. [16:02] bluntu: well.. it might in this case.. actually I think there IS a new 'toram' option for 10.04 [16:02] killfill: 8.10 is no longer supported. postgres-client-8.4 is only in jaunty (9.04) and higher. [16:02] Dr_Willis: but to use gparted I need to stat up from cd [16:02] bluntu: cd drive is broken and cant boot from usb.. i think the last resort is install via network..

[16:47] benlieb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=707356 [16:48] it only wants access to the wireless so it's completely useless password prompt [16:48] If anyone can assist me, please message me. [16:49] daniel__: try posting a specific, informative, concise, complete question to the channel [16:49] I thought I did. [16:49] is there a CLI frontend program thats similar to xsensors? [16:49] How do I change the default runlevel? [16:50] I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed, I also installed the hardware nvidia drivers and now all I get is 640x480 max resolution. How can I get higher resolutions? [16:50] Is there a way to tell Linux my Monitor name and let it fix it? [16:50] Daniel__: go to system>preferences>monitor and there should be an option to make the resolution higher [16:51] see what happens if you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:51] I have recently upgraded to lucid lynx from hoary so this problem comes from 8.06. It has always asked me for a login keyring [16:51] how do I get rid of this useless prompt? [16:51] That sends me to the nvidia drivers. [16:51] Let me try saying no and see what happens. [16:51] benlieb: perl -e 'while ( <> ) { $s += <>; } print $s' [16:52] * jim used to know a pair of twin shomons [16:52] wait a minute, xsyamx... that kinda looks forkbomb ish [16:52] Even there all I get is 640x480 or 320x240 for resolutions [16:52] CkhiKuzad: nope i just tried it [16:52] benlieb: to riff on xshymax: perl -ne '$a += $_; END { print "$a\n";}' numbers.file [16:52] alright, i googled it too. [16:52] its not a forkbomb. [16:53] can I just remove my login keyring? [16:54] I think one of the shomon twins was rosalie [16:54] Ho0w do I get better resolutions with the nvidia drivers installed? [16:54] yoyoned, thanks i just now ran the cli, ( i never seem to have room ) :) [16:54] shomon, if it isnt making it impossible to log in, and its just a very minor inconvenience, i would recommend keeping it. because your login keyring is used to decrypt things, if you dont have it, your data might be permanently encrypted. [16:55] how does Partitions work? i thought the more crap i would want to install, the more root id need now i have too much root and not enough home,... [16:55] no [16:55] I need to remove this [16:56] HI, am beginner. Ibus is not working properly, it prompts to add some commands to "$HOME/.bashrc". how to do ? [16:56] sorry CkhiKuzad - it's a family computer and I don't want them to use it for the wireless [16:56] I mean I don't want them to get prompted for this for the wireless access. It should just be available [16:56] gogu: sudo gedit ~/.bashrc [16:56] can somebody help me with claws mail?

[16:58] does not list em [16:58] gogu: gedit ~/.bashrc (alternatively you could use nano ~/.bashrc [16:58] But using them I can't get more than 640x480 resolutions on here. [16:58] what are you running kay? [16:58] ubuntu 9.04 [16:58] CkhiKuzad, i could open the file. where should I paste the commands and save the file? [16:59] the end of the file [16:59] kay go to System, Admin, Hardware drivers [16:59] CkhiKuzad, ok. will get back [16:59] dont put them at the beginning, or anywhere "in" the file. put them at the end. [16:59] ("in" meaning within other text) [16:59] Does anyone know how to fix the nvidia drivers only letting me have 320x240 or 640x480 resolutions? [16:59] "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [17:00] Yes, install them. [17:00] there is no driver listed [17:00] I am running nvidia geforce 8400 here. [17:00] is there a termial code?

[17:01] !tab [17:01] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [17:01] CkhiKuzad, i pasted the lines and saved and closed the file. should i restart? because the IBus app is still prompting to add the lines [17:01] @daniel dont kow [17:01] Going to the nvidia settings or the monitor only shows 2 resolutions available. [17:02] gogu, i'm not sure, but restarting should work [17:02] How to install InnoDB in Ubuntu? [17:02] This monitor, in WIndows can go as high as 2048x1536 [17:02] CkhiKuzad, ok. will get back 2 u after restarting. thanks a lot [17:02] no problem [17:03] I am running a KVM.

[17:04] daniel__ KVM meaning that your login manager is KDM, or that your desktop environment is KDE? [17:04] Oh. SOrry. [17:04] I am running a switcher called a KVM [17:04] howdoi: #kubuntu would be the best place to ask that question. [17:05] CkhiKuzad: He means a keyboard/video/mouse input switcher.

[17:13] Pici, some one gave me a command before and it cleared it up, it was somthing i needed to shut down for some reason [17:14] hey you guys....everytime i edit something in my www directory, i have to use sudo ...how do i remove this? id like to be able to edit things without having to always use sudo [17:14] So when I log in (logging is fine, once I get to my desktop, this is a problem) any keyboards attached to the system stop working. The only way to get a key to show up is if I hold it down for half a second. Unplugging and plugging in a keyboard makes it work again. Where do I report this? [17:14] hey you guys....everytime i edit something in my www directory, i have to use sudo ...how do i remove this? id like to be able to edit things without having to always use sudo [17:14] cschamber: Was it something to reset your panels to default? [17:14] r000t, well I'll give it a try. my dad stole my desktop with windows. so linux is where I'm stuck :p [17:14] canonfodder sudo chown -R (your username) (directory) [17:14] not that I mind too much [17:14] thanks [17:14] luist_: if you run "df -h" how much is missing on your /boot ? [17:14] That command was my best friend last year when making WoW work in WINE [17:15] i really dont rember, but we can try that pici [17:15] arand, 17M free... 81% used [17:15] !resetpanels | cschamber [17:15] cschamber: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [17:15] arand, can i just delete the files from older boot options? [17:15] luist_: Do you have a lot of old kernel versions installed? [17:15] arand, yes [17:15] luist_: Do it via the package manager instead [17:16] arand, ok [17:16] luist_: Or possibly computer-janitor, but be careful there to only remove things that are safe. [17:17] I think the keyboard drivers have a regression. Recently, after logging in, keyboards stop working (keys aren't recognized until they are held down for half a second) until they are unplugged and plugged back in. [17:17] arand, how can i do it via package manger? [17:17] When I try to view flash videos in firefox (ubuntu 10.04), for a lot of flash video players (e.g. engadget video, old youtube player) I cannot click any button on/in the flash video, so I can't start, stop, ... them. Any Idea what I can do there? [17:18] What Flash package are you using? [17:18] private_meta, same problem. here. tell me when you solved it. ;) [17:18] with the grub chroot thing [17:18] yeah I had that problem before [17:18] do i mount the ubuntu (secondary) drive? or the windows (primary) drive? [17:19] re182: LiveCD? [17:19] abhi_nav: Thanks, at least it's not the usual "Well, it's me, so of course it breaks" [17:19] re182: or WUBI? [17:19] luist_: as far as packages gi you'll likely want to remove linux-image--generic, linux-headers- AND linux-headers--generic. [17:19] private_meta, ok [17:20] abhi_nav: (meaning: good that at least someone else has the problem too ;)) [17:20] luist_: If you have linux-backports-modules-something installed you might want to remove the version-specific of that one to. [17:20] no that didnt work pici [17:20] private_meta, :) [17:20] luist_: Make Sure you don't remove the kernel currently being used! [17:20] what do you mean [17:20] i'm using a livecd to access linux right now [17:20] private_meta: you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the flashplugin [17:20] because ubuntu has fucked my computer royally [17:20] luist_: (you can find that using "uname -a") [17:20] arand, i know -.- [17:21] !language | re182 [17:21] re182: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:21] re182: Can you see it under My Computer? [17:21] my apologies [17:21] see what? [17:21] hey malikeye|123 ,no, I don'T really remember, it was about the cpu tray applet wasn'T it? glad it's faster now :) [17:21] The drike [17:21] drive* [17:21] cschamber: Hmm.. let me check one thing. [17:21] Matrice64: Last time I tried that didn't really work [17:21] *what* drive? [17:21] I can see all drives [17:21] You wanted to mount your windows partition [17:21] IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE UBUNTU RUNLEVEL IN A FILE [17:21] no prob ill be here [17:21] No, I want to dualboot. with two seperate HDDs. [17:21] it sounds easy enough [17:22] but it proving to be impossible [17:22] With GRUB, it is [17:22] WINDOWS is my MAIN, Ubuntu is my seconary [17:22] do i need grub on the windows drive? or the ubuntu drive? [17:22] re182: do u have two seperate drives? [17:22] Then you still need to use GRUB. [17:22] hello [17:22] private_meta, do you have noscript installed? [17:22] when i follow the chroot instructions, do i mount the drive with UBUNTU on it, or WINDOWS [17:22] You use GRUB on your master drive and tell it to point at x partition on the secondary [17:22] r000t is correct [17:22] that will chainload it to Windows bootloader which will proceed to boot to windows [17:22] Back [17:23] ciao [17:23] do i need to make a seperate partiton on the ubuntu drive then? [17:23] elb0w`: I believe that you were already told that ubuntu's runelevels are all treated the same, so we don't use runlevels to determine which services should start at boot. What are you trying to do exactly? [17:23] or can i use the existing partitions [17:23] How do I fix the resolution problem with the nvidia drivers installed? === apachelogger is now known as brokenl00gR [17:23] re182: hang for a second... imma find you the GRUB guide [17:23] i have sdb1, sdb2, sdb5. [17:23] I've been following the grub guide, it's vague. [17:23] If anyone can help please message me. [17:23] re182: do u have two seperate drives? [17:23] tvtime-scanner [17:23] skeeter101: yes.

Sorry, I don't know what to suggest. Perhaps someone else has a soltuon. [17:24] Pici, I want to reboot into just a terminal. No xserver [17:24] no prob ill ask around [17:24] I can only edit files as xserver is causing my machine to stop loading [17:24] I am using a live cd [17:24] So if it's not, you either need to switch them around on the boot order or in the case.

[17:26] has anybody used python-keyring module before i have been having an issue with it? [17:26] elb0w`: You should be able to chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm to stop gdm from loading. [17:26] can some one help me please, i have an overlapping mirror image of my date and name on the top right side of my gnome screen, and cant access my shutdown menu, [17:26] jiason: Please use a pastebin if you are trying to share an error with us. [17:26] Pici, or I can create a /etc/inittab and no have ubuntu act so different [17:26] re182 you still here? [17:26] as stated in rc-sysinit.conf [17:27] Is there a way to use DHCP, continue to use the provided DNS, but configure openDNS as an alternate/failover DNS server if the DHCP provided DNS seems a bit flakey? [17:27] r000t: yes.... [17:27] last night i had ubuntu has my primary [17:27] My resolution with the nvidia drivers installed is 640x480. Can I fix that or do I need to avoid the drivers? [17:27] without...appending to resolv.conf every time my network scripts run? [17:27] then i was told dualbooting was impossible without windows as the master [17:27] elb0w`: I haven't done that myself so I'm unsure if it will work.

[17:28] i ran update grub on sdb1.... it found my linux image, and my windows image on sda1 [17:28] Well then I'll explain each change before we go through with this... [17:28] jiason: USE PASTEBIN [17:28] at3560k, is it sufficient to have the provided DNS as the first entry, then openDNS as the second? [17:28] hey man i lost u === bep is now known as Guest23776 [17:28] Where can I go to get this problem fixed? [17:29] First we will make sure Ubuntu is the primary boot drive, so that your computer boots to it first. Next we will figure out what GRUB you are using. Last, we will figure out what partition your Windows is on and tell GRUB to add an entry for that drive and partition. === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [17:29] RyanP: that's in fact--preferred. The local DNS server has a few entries in the LAN that I would like to use from time to time...but...as it's not stable or always responsive...if it fails into openDNS... oh well :D [17:29] i need some help regarding openvpn ipconfig-pool [17:29] On the boot side, GRUB will boot first, and if you select Windows, it will "pass the torch" onto the Windows bootloader. [17:30] It won't boot to Windows per se, that's Windows' bootloader's job. [17:30] With me so far? [17:30] yes [17:30] Okay [17:30] can someone help me please, i have an overlapping mirrior image of my date and my name on the top right side of my gnome screen, and due to the over lapping mirror image i cant access my shutdown options, ummm kinda got to hurry cause i have to go some place [17:30] So which hard drive does your computer boot to first? [17:30] Also, and this is important, do you have a second computer you can be on in case something bad happens? [17:30] Does anyone know how to fix the nvidia drivers only letting me have 320x240 or 640x480 resolutions? [17:30] GRUB is awesome but sometimes it gets moody [17:31] Yes, i am on the second one. [17:31] OK [17:31] GRUB is awesome, but i'm really really irritated at this point. [17:31] What state is the main machine in? [17:31] Hi there! Why can't I see notifications from Gwibber? (Twitter) [17:31] you're telling me to do the oppositte of what people were telling me to do last night [17:31] I was too. I was in your EXACT situation last august [17:31] at3560k, Oh, wait, you're wanting to configure this on the specific machine, not the dhcp server, right? [17:31] Yeah...don't control the dhcp server [17:31] I still believe I use Ubuntu due to the stockholm effect [17:31] can anyone help me on openvpn configs? [17:31] i updated the kerner and updated the grub but it doesnt show [17:31] where am i going wrong [17:31] (Or the nameserver in question that doesn't like to reply all the time) [17:32] Well... there are two paths, Windows and GRUB, and I've found that it's just easier to deal with GRUB instead of finding the right tool edit your boot.ini [17:32] r000t, re182 another way to dualboot, not that comfortable, but still working would be to leave each os as it is and choose the hdd at bootup, many mainboards have a feature to boot from a specific drive, I cloned my win7 installation and left my ubuntu on another hdd and can boot them seperately via boot menu on startup :D well, gonna reorganize the new hd anyway, only a temporary thing [17:32] binarious: by default, gwibber in lucid will only display notifications for mentions (unlike previous versions), if that is what you mean. You can disable that in the preferences and get notifications for everything [17:33] I am shutting down Crudbuntu and try again later to see if anyone can help. [17:33] r000t, agreed, editing win menu is a pain, even with bcdedit [17:33] cschamber: can you post a screenshot, to make it clearer what is happening? [17:33] hello, is it possible to test a windows file.exe with ubuntu with bfbtester ? ty [17:33] i cant run screenlets in ubuntu 10.04????? [17:33] That works too, and if your comptuer does not have an optionf or that, you cna always request a boot menu every time [17:33] Problem with Nero Linux. I converted the avi to ISO with Devede, than used Nero Linux DVD-Video format to burn. It will not succeed without using a Audio_TS ... Video_TS. Why is this??? [17:33] trism: Where can I disable this Restriction [17:33] RyanP, correct. Want to set it on the host. I Don't control the dhcp/dns system [17:34] trism: just found it [17:34] thanks! [17:34] Even better, decide what your main OS will be, set it to default boot, and only have to request a boot menu when you want ot use the other. [17:34] sorry is gdesklets [17:34] at3560k, Well, if you edit /etc/resolv.conf and have the dhcp provided nameserver first and the openDNS one second, it'll check them in order. Except that resolv.conf will get overwritten when you reboot. The package resolveconf might do what you want. [17:35] Now if you want to go the GRUB way, we need to make sure that the computer default boots to the Ubuntu drive [17:35] well let me open my computer up and switch the drives [17:36] how do i add this to my sources.list [17:36] ppa:brianmercer/php [17:36] anybody uses KVM? I'm trying to find out what host OS people use to run KVM [17:36] at3560k, RyanP: Modifiying /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf with the 'prepend domain-name-servers' option (there should be an example commented out) with your dns servers will make sure that it will always be added to resolve.conf when you get a dhcp address. [17:36] Hey, does anyone want a trip to Norway? Cause I really need some help with installing Java :/ [17:36] Hey, could anyone help me with installing Asus USB-N13 on Ubuntu 10.04? [17:37] !java [17:37] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [17:37] Runar, what are you talking about? Just use the software center or synaptic to install java [17:37] thanks Pici & RyanP. Checking the dhclient now. [17:37] Oh well, that's basic Runar-thinking. Always check the hard ways first [17:38] at3560k, resolveconf will do it too, I just checked, but the dhclient.conf method is probably better. [17:38] is there a desktop environment based on how "screen" looks? [17:39] !loco | Runar [17:39] Runar: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [17:39] hello, is it possible to test a windows file.exe with ubuntu with bfbtester ? ty [17:39] Runar: in reply to the pm ^ [17:39] !no | Runar too [17:39] Runar too: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [17:39] sunrise: if you want to run a .exe in Ubuntu, WINE is the best way [17:40] Pici: yes, but he wants someone in person to help him really it seems [17:40] Norwegian is a big no-no for me :( [17:40] r000t, how detect a bufferoverflow in windows file when i am using ubuntu ?

I think what I did was go into the x11.conf, set the res I want, and then set the drivers to nv instead of nvidia [17:43] Hi, I already have $USER and $HOSTNAME which I send in a shell command. Just wondering what else is available to me, ideally looking for users IP address ... [17:43] Hello - has anyone else had freezing issues on boot after installing 10.04?

[17:46] because I want to have access to the gui when needed [17:46] file server [17:46] froduntu_: for what? [17:46] sebsebseb, just to have it as an option I would imagine [17:47] froduntu: You have to disable gdm from that runlevel [17:47] froduntu_: anyway you can run servers in the desktop version as well [17:47] froduntu, Append a 3 to the grub command-line and gdm won't run [17:47] I was wondering where (if available) is possible to found the scripts canonical uses to create ubuntu images [17:47] I've read on google that others have had freezing issues... I was going to run gparted and do a fresh format through there and then reinstall - you think I should just fsck - that will fix issues? [17:47] froduntu_: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [17:47] anyway irrelevant..

[17:51] I'll take a look at it [17:51] Hi, I already have $USER and $HOSTNAME which I send in a shell command. Just wondering what else is available to me, ideally looking for users IP address ... [17:52] elyob: You could parse ifconfig output. [17:53] darklust, doesn't grub2 reconfigure grub.cfg all over again when updating and adding kernels? [17:53] elyob: I'd have it pull up python and urllib2 to navigate to ipchicken.com and parse the output [17:53] jmburgess: am looking for their remote IP address ... i.e. the info that you get when you do "last username" [17:53] how can i see memory usage? [17:53] froduntu, It should only append the new kernels to it, and get rid of truly obsolete ones [17:53] ziro`: top [17:53] does anyone know if /var/log/kern.log expires (similar to dmesg) if there's too much going through it? [17:53] froduntu, So your stuff should still be there [17:53] elyob: thats a little tougher === Guest88752 is now known as notwist [17:54] elyob will the IPs be used in the software or are you just collecting them? [17:54] darklust, my real question is doesn't grub.cfg get complied from another file and overwritten every time the kernel updates? [17:55] elb0w: 'last -i' will have the ip, just parse that [17:55] <_2> froduntu yes [17:55] froduntu, I honestly don't know that, I just know that the changes I've made to grub.cfg have persisted through kernel updates [17:55] _2, do you hapen to know where does it draw from? [17:55] _2: Isn't it actually the triggers in the kernel packages that do the updating? [17:55] so if I want to set the standard kernel options for every update from here on, where do I add that?

[18:00] _2: is for me? [18:00] erUSUL: i don't see a chipset. i just see 'bus 001 device 003 ID 0b05:1784 ASUSTeK Computer Ink' [18:00] n3m3s1s4u: hrm [18:00] froduntu_: I'm looking for a better way, but it looks like you should be able to either comment out the 'start on' line or modify it like "start on (runlevel [!0123456])" I havent tested either though. [18:00] What program do you guys use to capture http packets on linux? [18:00] n3m3s1s4u: Blue Screen Of Death the famous Windows error message, right ok uhmm do you use the Windows 7 partition from Ubuntu at all? [18:00] I was running Ubuntu/Win 7 before going just Ubuntu and never had a problem. [18:00] froduntu_: I should provide the filename too, that would help: /etc/init/gdm.conf [18:01] Actually it was a Wubi install of Ubuntu. Now a full Ubuntu install. [18:01] sebsebseb, not as yet no, brand new install [18:01] Diverdude: wireshark is pretty pervasive, both on linux and windows for packet capturing. [18:01] n3m3s1s4u: is it a partitioned install or Wubi? [18:01] Pici, I'm trying a combination of suggestions from darklust and _2 but it didn't work [18:01] Is r00t still here? [18:01] <_2> pici did they change /etc/init.d/ to /etc/init/ ??? [18:02] sebsebseb, it is defaut install. Partitioned. [18:02] sebsebseb, I did it 2 ways, this is the 3rd time i have done this [18:02] _2: No, they both are there. /etc/init/ holds the conf files for upstart services [18:02] JackLinux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419504 [18:02] n3m3s1s4u: 2 ways? and now a 3rd time? [18:02] <_2> cool [18:02] Pici, yeah, i tried to install it...but when i run it and want to chose a network interface to capture, the list is empty :S [18:02] cm [18:02] Pici, I tried to append a 3 to the grub line for my kernel [18:02] thalib, [18:02] n3m3s1s4u: anyway Ubuntu does not effect Windows, if your getting blue screen of death in Windows it is not, because of Ubuntu [18:02] Can anyone tell me how to uninstall all the KDE packages that come along with Amarok? I have uninstalled Amarok. OS ubuntu 10.04 Gnome desktop. [18:02] Does anyone know how to get better than 640x480 resolutions using the nvidia drivers? [18:03] n3m3s1s4u: you should find out what the error messages mean, and maybe even ask ##windows for help [18:03] froduntu_: That isn't really going to help, as all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are the same in Ubuntu. [18:03] _2: Check out man 5 init for details. [18:03] n3m3s1s4u: blue screen of death useually means, bad driver, failing hardware, or malicious software [18:03] Could it be my keyboard/video/mouse switch that is stopping it? [18:03] Pici, and I removed the quiet to test, but that didn't work, It did remove the quiet but it fired up the x [18:03] Pici, I just discovered that [18:03] sebsebseb, [18:03] sorry sebsebseb got disconnected [18:04] n3m3s1s: oh [18:04] Pici, and when I run the update-rc.d -f gdm remove, it put's it back in as soon as I reboot [18:04] sebsebseb, ya, it goes into windows 7 no prob on the second reboot [18:04] sebsebseb, but the first from linux, boom, blue screen [18:04] sebsebseb, it is easy to replicate [18:04] n3m3s1s: anyway Ubuntu does not effect Windows, if your getting blue screen of death in Windows it is not, because of Ubuntu [18:04] n3m3s1s: you should find out what the error messages mean, and maybe even ask ##windows for help [18:04] froduntu_: Probably because gdm is managed by upstart now, its not an init-v style service anymore . [18:04] n3m3s1s: blue screen of death useually means, bad driver, failing hardware, or malicious software [18:05] Does anyone know if there is a way to tell Linux the monitor name/model I have so I can get a better resolution? [18:05] please.... how can please send mail to lilythebot@gmail.com,,,,,, Im testing my IRC bot !!!!! pleeaseeeeeeeeeee [18:05] sebsebseb, can you explain then, why if i consistently reboot from Windows all the time into windows 7 it works fine, but from linux to windows blue screen??? [18:05] Pici, would you have any idea where to modify upstart options? [18:05] Daniel_Ubuntu: which drivers are you using? what is your graphics card?

I see no rez [18:05] okej [18:06] froduntu_: You may have missed my message befre [18:06] i got an error i don't have the rt3070sta drivers. and i have no idea how to install. [18:06] it knows your monitor [18:06] Can anyone tell me how to uninstall all the KDE packages that come along with Amarok? I have uninstalled Amarok. OS ubuntu 10.04 Gnome desktop. [18:06] see where it says Driver "nvidia"? [18:06] froduntu_: I'm looking for a better way, but it looks like you should be able to either comment out the 'start on' line or modify it like "start on (runlevel [!0123456])" I havent tested either though. Thats in /etc/init/gdm.conf [18:06] change nvidia to nv [18:06] Pici, up sorry, I'll reread [18:06] I am running on this PC a nvidia GeForce 6200 and nVidia Drivers current [18:06] n3m3s1s: they aren't linked, they just share the same hard disk [18:06] Pici, thanks [18:06] Pici, much appreciated [18:06] froduntu_: Gotta run for a few minutes, but I'm curious if that will work. [18:06] n3m3s1s: maybe a bios error or something [18:06] I tried that r0t and got only gobbly-gook all over the screen and had to reboot. [18:06] r00t [18:06] daniel_Ubuntu: see Driver "nvidia"? change "nvidia" to "nv" [18:06] hm [18:07] Pici, I'll try and let you know [18:07] After reboot I did get 720 added to the list though. [18:07] n3m3s1s: well find out what your blue screen of death is about, then I may have an idea why it blue screens after you been in Ubuntu [18:07] it is wierd though [18:07] hm [18:07] brb [18:07] n3m3s1s: indeed, but getting a blue screen of death is serious [18:07] Should I try rebooting after removing my switch to see if that helps? [18:07] n3m3s1s: it means Windows doesn't like something [18:07] whats the command for identifying my nick?? [18:07] <_2> question: lshw shows the notebook to be 32 bit, but the cpu to be 64 bit, with capabilities: x86-64 <<< so will it boot and run 64 bit software ? [18:08] I have problem with special keys in my Asus notebook [18:08] * oldIT78 sighs [18:08] froduntu_: you can also rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled or add "and never" to the start on line in that file [18:08] n3m3s1s: that it doesn't like Linux? Doesn't like that you got Ubuntu on, uhmm yeah maybe, but no thats probably not it :D [18:08] <_2> anyone knows ? === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [18:08] can someone help me installing wireless drivers in ubuntu!? [18:09] hey...i got a problm...it says-package operation failed,,,the installation or removal of software package failed....can anyone help me to deal with it? [18:09] _2: do you know ifyour processor is a 64bit or 32bit? [18:09] if i install win7 only (no linux) i do not get these errors... the web related nstor64.sys to the sata controller [18:09] ubuntu does something when leaving, that the win7 bootloader has an issue with or something [18:09] n3m3s1s: I think go to ##windows and ##hardware and tell them about the issue, but first its a good idea to look up the error messages you got from the blue screen of death [18:09] JackLinux: desktop or laptop? [18:09] Desktop. [18:09] <_2> oldIT78 i just gave the report from lshw on that [18:09] oldIT78: Desktop [18:10] _2: there should be other ways to identify if your processor is 64 or 32... you could look it up online by the model of your machine. that would be an alternate way. [18:10] JackLinux: do you know for sure that it does not Ubuntu doesnt automatically have drivers for it? [18:10] pkarza you still here? [18:11] oldIT78: well i need to get my wireless usb working, and i can't find a folder for the drivers. So im guessing i need to install them [18:11] <_2> oldIT78 if one knew what they were looking for 'cat /proc/cpuinfo ' should tell them too ooooo [18:11] hey...i got a problm...it says-package operation failed,,,the installation or removal of software package failed....can anyone help me to deal with it? [18:11] r000t: I am just putting them into a variable which is run when from bashrc [18:12] darklust, Ok, thank you for the help and info, to modify grub.conf for grub2 what I did is I modified /etc/default/grub [18:12] JackLinux: do you know that linux drivers exist for your new hardware? Is it new or used? [18:12] hola alguien habla español [18:12] r000t: as last already has the variable it must be available somewhere internally? [18:12] darklust, it has there the default options you append to any kernel update [18:12] victor_ yo [18:12] _2: I really dont know enough about that command, sorry. i am simply trying to give you another way to identify your processor. [18:13] oldIT78: i have a folder with the drivers in for linux. its called 'ASUS USB-N13 Wireless' [18:13] froduntu, Alright, have you tried it? [18:13] yeap [18:13] So it works? [18:13] Should I remove the drivers for now r00t? [18:13] darklust, then you run update-grub === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [18:14] and it appends your desired options to all of your kernel lines [18:14] is this package good to creat a swap partition... SWOPD [18:14] Ahh it's been a while since I did that [18:14] ACER YOU SUCK [18:14] JackLinux: have you had any luck with google? which ver of ubuntu are you using? [18:15] darklust, thank you for pointing me there, though because the help was commented out in the first few lines of /boot/grub/grub.cfg [18:15] froduntu, No problem [18:15] oldIT78: i had it working in 9.10, however i upgraded to 10.04 and its stopped working. google gave me nothing [18:15] !shout | JoeSomebody Do you have an ubuntu support question? [18:15] JoeSomebody Do you have an ubuntu support question?: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:16] guntbert: He was a bit off topic there, JoeSomebody was, but he isn't a troll or something :) [18:16] they wont let me reinstall xp (bios password) got no support to speak of, will ubuntu go on it? [18:16] i wiped the hdd , still no go [18:16] JoeSomebody: oh in the [18:16] hello [18:16] ha. JackLinux, i just found your forum post. heh. [18:16] JoeSomebody: computer there may be a switch to reset the bios password or something [18:17] oldIT78: i always have horrible support on the forums. hench why IRC tends to be better [18:17] does anyone knows how i can get the ip of a contact through the amsn??? [18:17] darklust, for now, I've disabled gdm by commenting out the line for /etc/X11/default-display-manager where it said /usr/sbin/gdm [18:17] Oh, by the way r00t, where it said Compaq and MV900 I put those in there. [18:17] Can anyone tell me how to uninstall all the KDE packages that come along with Amarok? I have uninstalled Amarok. OS ubuntu 10.04 Gnome desktop. [18:17] i have been trying to reach a human at acer via phone [18:17] Yo yo yo [18:17] froduntu, So booting into runlevel 3 did nothing? [18:17] From my understanding, X doesn't start in 3 [18:18] !runlevel | darklust [18:18] darklust: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [18:18] darklust, apparently nothing [18:18] Ok then [18:18] oldIT78: sudo apt-get install amarok ,will install all the extra kde fluff it needs. Why not use banshee. Its gnome based and will use less extra packages [18:19] darklust, but that dirty trick worked, [18:19] Hey guys, got a problem with my mother's laptop's ethernet controller. This is a brand new ubuntu 10.04 install, and it seems wireless is working, but wired isn't. The network controller is a Marvell PCI-E 88E8038 according to lspci, anyone got an idea what's wrong? The wire's in but ubuntu aint finding anything even both both the nic's lights are flashing. === jens is now known as Guest80018 [18:19] hey...i got a problm...it says-package operation failed,,,the installation or removal of software package failed....can anyone help me to deal with it? [18:19] right sod it, the support here is awful. im going back to windows. [18:19] ActionParsnip: ... i think you may missunderstand ... i want to UNINSTALL the meta packages that Amarok installs. i have already uninstalled amarok. [18:19] farchord: ah ethernet not working [18:19] Farchord: if you run: sudo iwlist scan ,do you see access points? [18:19] darklust, just went to /etc/X11/default-display-manager and commented out the first and and only line referring to gdm, [18:20] ActionParsnip, ill check, but its an ethernet problem hold on [18:20] Oldit78: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [18:20] darklust, I'll just have to see if it survives adding another display manager or if I'll have to comment it out again [18:20] froduntu, What other display manager would you add? [18:20] ActionParsnip, ya it does find stuff [18:20] Farchord: oic, sorry. Does the ethernet interface have an ip address? [18:20] well xdm [18:21] oldIT78: uninstalling meta packages won't uninstall the *real* packages [18:21] ActionParsnip, whats the command for that? XD [18:21] froduntu, I just want to have different tools handy to me if needed [18:21] Farchord: ifconfig [18:21] guys, i was banned in the irc. how to unban my ip to irc? i am not able to login to channel at my office network but in my home i can [18:21] Jenue: ask in #freenode [18:21] jenue, which irc channel? talk to their op [18:21] froduntu, So on your server you would have xdm and some low-cut wm like twm or fluxbox [18:21] hey everyone, how do I listen to the sound on my line in of my sound card? [18:21] darklust, since I like command line but there are things better done by gui when you don't really know, for ex adding users [18:21] guntbert: ahh. i do not want to uninstall the metapackages ( and i pry dont know what that means). I just know that when i look at my system manager there are a BUNCH of Kprograms stopped. i would like to get rid of those. [18:22] darklust, thanks, I might do that === abe is now known as Slurb [18:22] How do I get better than 640x480 using nvidia drivers? [18:22] darklust, I was not going to have a display manager at all unless I need it [18:22] ActionParsnip, it only has an ipv6 address (local address I'd assume) [18:22] !puregnome | oldIT78 [18:22] darklust, I sincerely appreciate your help man, you did contribute to pointing in the right direction [18:23] Daniel_Ubuntu: use nvidia-settings [18:23] darklust, *man I should say hehehe, since I don't know [18:23] Doesn't work [18:23] hi [18:23] <^MB> I have a question about file permsions. When I do a sudo atp-get install and need to edit the files I can't it says permsion denied. [18:23] oldIT78: yes, I guessed as much, I only wanted to tell you that you won't accomplish what you want by uninstalling the "meta" packages, they are used to "pull in" several other packages [18:23] Farchord: ok try: sudo dhclient3 eth0 [18:23] Only shows up 640x480 or 320x240 [18:23] what is the sense of life? [18:23] froduntu, No problem bro haha [18:23] hi,, i am having digital pen software in .exe file i want to installl it on ubuntu so that i can use it on ubuntu...please tell me how to do that [18:23] !ot | ghfgh_ [18:23] ghfgh_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:23] k [18:24] ActionParsnip: I saw the website for the command to go pure gnome. ... it just worries me. that should leave all gnome packages and get rid of all the kde packages that Amarok installed? [18:24] abhinav_singh: that's is a windows app so is no use to you. You are using ubuntu which isn't windows [18:24] Does anyone know if there is an nvidia channel? [18:24] hi, i got a laptop with an intel gma 945 graphic card, and i'm trying to get an external monitor to work, but system->preferences->monitors can't detect the external monitor [18:24] guntbert: do you agree with ActionParsnip to use the command sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ? [18:24] oldIT78: yeah just removes the kde packages [18:24] after a bit of research i found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/420577 [18:24] ActionParsnip is there any way to install that .exe file in ubuntu? [18:24] oldIT78: if you already removed amarok, yes [18:24] When i was running Ubuntu in Wubi it was working. Now that I am running it direct I only get up to 640x480. [18:24] which seems to fit my problem quite nicely [18:24] ok. [18:25] oldIT78: autoremove will remove orphaned packages which are no longer needed [18:25] ActionParsnip, no dhcp offers received [18:25] abhinav_singh: there's wine but if its a driver file then its of no value to you whatsoever [18:25] darklust, I'm actually almost done with this server, it's a 69.99 dual xeon 2.67Ghz IBM e-series to which I added 2 1TB hard drives and a 29.99 pci-x raid card [18:25] abhinav_singh, Wine is a compatibility layer for running windows applications [18:25] farchord: is there flashing lights around the ethernet port on the system? [18:25] there seems to be no work around and no bugfix, and the bug was declined for lucid by bryce harrington [18:25] yes [18:25] ActionParsnip, yep [18:25] froduntu, Nice, do you have a website or a network? [18:25] darklust, btw the 69.99 was including shipping [18:26] without any comment [18:26] nah, just going to be an smb server [18:26] Wow [18:26] so, is there any hope to the the display to work? [18:26] ActionParsnip, oh, hold on --- [18:26] darklust, there is more where I got it on ebay [18:26] froduntu: for how many users accessing?

[18:27] ActionParsnip, for now just 3 to 5 [18:27] ActionParsnip, nevermind -- thanks anyway XD stupid ethernet wire doesnt have a leg, so it sometimes.... well, goes off XD [18:27] hi [18:27] froduntu, Ebay is a tad sketchy when purchasing high-end electronics, I wouldn't want anything broken when it arrived xD [18:27] farchord: you got the gold and that's all we need ;) [18:27] ActionParsnip it is for digital pen... [18:27] darklust, 69.99 isn't that much of a high risk if I lose it [18:27] ActionParsnip: ok. I ran the command. when i restart will it remove, all these K processes in my system monitor? like Kacpid, kblockd/0, khelper, khungtaskd. etc etc? [18:27] abhinav_singh: yes but is it a software or a driver or what? [18:28] hey...i got a problm...it says-package operation failed,,,the installation or removal of software package failed....can anyone help me to deal with it? [18:28] oldIT78: should do yes [18:28] windows 7 rulez [18:28] ActionParsnip it is a driver for digital pen [18:28] ActionParsnip, he is most probably talking abotu Jetflash [18:28] has lucid lynx fixed the problem where the screen goes blank and sytem locks up on user swtich? i'm not using it again until it's fixed as it's unusable === sebner_ is now known as sebner [18:28] * oldIT78 bows deeply to ActionParsnip and guntbert. [18:28] my thanks! [18:28] ActionParsnip, well, thanks for the help :) [18:28] abhinav_singh: then its no good to you. You need a linux driver. That is a windows driver. The cd is worthless to you [18:28] darklust, the client's budget on this thing is 500 to 700, so I'm still way within margin, I dropped in a little extra cash on the hard drives [18:29] oldIT78, those processes are essential system processes - it's unlikely that you'll have a working system if they weren't running. === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [18:29] and what about Pmouse.c Lost Sync AH [18:29] abhinav_singh: websearch for the model of the pen in conjunction with linux. Also check the ubuntu hcl [18:29] darklust, means I could still afford to ship 2 or 3 more of these beasts and still be fine [18:29] unop: but arnt they system processes for KDE? not gnome? [18:29] froduntu, You can never have too much space [18:29] yeap [18:29] froduntu, Nice [18:30] oldIT78, of the ones you listed - they look like Kernel not KDE processes.

Works if I do the dhcp request from console but gnome still is clueless lol [18:31] can some one help [18:31] woodyjlw: boot to safe mode desktop (shift at boot) then uninstall the driver [18:31] froduntu, It really doesn't change much, and it is quite easy to configure [18:31] when grup updated it confirms the update, but when booted doesnt show up [18:31] farchord: maybe its a bug with the driver you have. [18:32] re182, it seems you screwed up the grub launcher [18:32] darklust, yeah, just have to make sure I've checked all of my permissions on both the smb and the folders and we should be fine [18:32] ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE BLANK SCREEN USER SWITCH LOCKING UP PROBLEM IN LUCID - IT MAKES IT UNUSABLE? [18:32] did you dualboot? [18:32] yep [18:32] !caps [18:32] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:33] ActionParsnip, thanks [18:33] Please send a message direct to me if you have an answer I CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF ALL THETEXT [18:33] hey you guys..i need a good messenger program for ubuntu...pidgin is just fail because it wont tell me when me or friend is DC'd and it just has alot of problems when someone gets disconnected === Razia is now known as RainbowEyes [18:33] cannonfodder, empathy? [18:33] aMSN ? [18:33] cannonfodder, and what is 'DC'? [18:34] disconnect= DC [18:34] cannonfodder, you can configure pidgin's notification options [18:34] cannonfodder, ok [18:34] nah pidgin is fail...ive seen many disconnect bugs that will not be fixed with the settings [18:34] * Daniel_Ubuntu lilkes Pidgin. [18:35] why do PDFs keep opening with GIMP even though i've told nautilus to 'remember this app..' and selected okular? [18:35] I use it for my messages in both Linux and WinSnooze [18:35] I can''t believe no one is discussing the locking up problem it makes lucid lynx unusable [18:35] for example...if someone has a dropped connection then recoonects, sometimes pidgin will show them as offline even though im receiving chats from them.. but they wont receive any of my chats meaning pidgin doesnt send chat messages to people who are marked as offline...this is a logic error and nothign short of changing the source codde will fix this [18:35] Noone is responding at all in the nvidia channel. [18:35] cannonfodder, what protocol do you use? (masn, yahoo, etc) [18:35] * tic^ went back to pidgin because empathy won't do facebook. [18:36] yahoo and msn ...but i want one messenger that can handle many protocols [18:36] i also tried kopete but i hate it [18:36] How to install JSON support for PHP in CentOS? [18:36] I prefer Pidgin that does many protocols. I use 4 of them in Pidgin. [18:36] cannonfodder, what type of connection is the other fellow using? are you sure they aren't cramming their network and therefore truly dropping out for a moment? [18:36] cannonfodder, that "problem" is not symptomatic of pidgin alone - i've seen it happen with MSN messenger (or whatever it is called nowadays) . [18:36] unop: Yes, it appears i was mistaken ... the processes in system monitor that start with a K seem to be kernal processes. thanks for making me aware of that. [18:36] there is no nice msn client, besides irssi with bitlbee [18:36] cannonfodder, there is a whole host of us that uses pidgin with no issues [18:36] Vuvuzela: are you aware this is ubuntu support channel? [18:37] oCean_, err [18:37] Only issue I have with Pidgin is AIM in WinSnooze. [18:37] CAN SOMEONE ANSWER MY QUESTION PLEASE? [18:37] rowbot: don't use CAPS [18:37] not if you shout! [18:37] rowbot: schhh [18:37] rowbot, do not scream [18:37] What question? [18:38] oldIT78, well, there are quite a few KDE processes that are named awkwardly -- and they can be confused for kernel processes and vice-versa [18:38] rowbot, if you use caps it sounds like you are shouting [18:38] ok, another question [18:38] does empathy support many application protocols? or does it use its own protocol? [18:38] that in lucid lynx it locks up and the screen goes blank on user switch. this makes luics lynx totally unusable [18:38] in lucid, there seems to be no xorg.conf [18:38] okay [18:38] how to i manually set xorg up? [18:38] so I accidentally deleted sudo, god knows how. [18:38] guys, is there really a problem with connecting yahoo msger via empathy in 10.04 ? [18:38] what's the easiest way to get it back? [18:38] How turn on "AAC ADTS" and "AAC m4a" in ffmpeg? [18:38] rowbot, I don't know that is why I personally didn't answer [18:39] so just patiently repeat your question once in a while [18:39] rowbot, just in case someone knows the answer, or thinks of something [18:39] redballoon, how do you mean? [18:39] rowbot, have you tested your hardware? [18:39] rowbot, ram, harddrive, etc [18:39] Hi [18:39] froduntu, rowbot, it's a know issue [18:39] unop: I saw all of the K processes and i thought they were associated with all the kde stuff Amorak left behind. i just didnt want to be running things that i didnt need and knew that removing amarok did not get rid of the rest of the kde stuff. I still am not sure. but am guessing that they are all kernal processes.. I googled some and they all came up kernal. [18:39] known* [18:40] airtonix, thanks [18:40] if it's a known issue why hasn't it been fixed because it makes it almost totally unusable? [18:40] airtonix, you're on [18:40] dries_, it appears that /usr/bin/sudo has been baleeted [18:40] I remove python package and my ubuntu boot in blank page and a comman line. [18:40] what i do? [18:40] hey you guys....is there a good data retrieval software in ubuntu...i basically want to use it to nuke or scramble sectors marked as "writeable" < any idea? [18:41] rowbot, doesn't affect me because i dont use the switching. just logout [18:41] cannonfodder: Install 'secure-delete' from the Ubuntu repositories and use 'srm' instead of 'rm' in the command line. [18:41] ok, channel, thanks a lot I'm going to leave for a bit, [18:41] thank you [18:42] darklust, thank you *man have a nice one [18:42] ah but there must be lots of people that have more than on user? [18:42] cannonfodder, have a good one [18:42] and thank you all fellow penguins [18:42] :/ === dries_ is now known as droes [18:42] I'm not a penguin... [18:43] rowbot, when you say "it makes the operating system unusable" you need to clarify if you're just trolling or you're actually just saying that switching users results in an unresponsive system. [18:43] I remove python package and my ubuntu boot in blank page and a comman line. [18:43] any idea? [18:43] I have a hp DESKJET D2600 series in ubuntu 10.04.the printer is detected by the OS but when i try to print any document,it says"printing 1 document" and the printer doesnt start working ..how do i fix this? [18:43] Alinn: any idea which package you removed? [18:43] redballoon: try 'gksu apt-get install sudo' [18:43] Alinn: or did you remove the "python" package? [18:43] anyone know how to re-enable the hardware monitor gnome applet to show fan speed? i know i have to install something but can not remember what. [18:43] Alinn: reinstall it then ... a lot of the ubuntu apps (and I think gnome-panels) use python === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [18:44] hotfloppy, thanks, will do [18:44] howdy [18:44] Alinn: just do sudo apt-get install python [18:44] redballoon: okay.. [18:44] does secure-delete have an option to scan the hard drive and "nuke" anything thats marked as writable? so far from what im reading secure-delete works when i actively delete a file, meaning all the stuff that i have already previously deleted will probably still be around....also, i want it to be able to scan my ntfs windows partition and nuke that too. [18:44] forceflow: yes :sudo apt-get remove python [18:44] boy... i sure hope some one can help me out here [18:44] no i'm being serious the screen goes blank and nothing short of killing the power brings it back https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/112518 [18:44] Alinn: well, you've got to reinstall it then. It's a requirement for gnome to run ... [18:44] I just downloaded googleearthlinux.bin and do chmod +x googleearthlinux.bin but its not running any idea? I am on 64 bit lucid. [18:45] pupuser25f294: go ahead and ask your question. [18:45] !ask | pupuser25f294 [18:45] pupuser25f294: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:45] abhi_nav: just double click on it in nautilus? [18:45] hi [18:45] i don't know how i'll find out when it's been fixed i want luccid and ubuntu one for music store [18:45] ubot, ok [18:45] hi slow-motion [18:45] rowbot: the affects many people, but not everybody. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/546578. As you can see, people are working on it [18:45] forceflow, that dont work too [18:45] forceflow: I reinstall it but not solved :( [18:45] i should have guessed there was a command for that. [18:45] does secure-delete have an option to scan the hard drive and "nuke" anything thats marked as writable? so far from what im reading secure-delete works when i actively delete a file, meaning all the stuff that i have already previously deleted will probably still be around....also, i want it to be able to scan my ntfs windows partition and nuke that too. if it doesnt have this functionality, can you guys point me to another solution? [18:45] so i just installed Xubuntu on 2 machines with radicaly different spect [18:45] Alinn: hmm, try to reinstall ubuntu-desktop then [18:46] rowbot, i know, but you need to encourage people to help with proper words instead of raging... unresponsive sounds better than 'totally unusable' (and it's also not true because you can still restart and use your system) [18:46] rowbot: subscribe to the bug, you'll receive mail on the progress [18:46] and the install works great out of the box [18:46] that's the meta-package for the whole ubuntu system [18:46] I have a hp DESKJET D2600 series in ubuntu 10.04.the printer is detected by the OS but when i try to print any document,it says"printing 1 document" and the printer doesnt start working ..how do i fix this? [18:46] hi hotfloppy [18:46] abhi_nav, cd to the google earth dir then do , ./googleearthlinux.bin [18:46] rowbot, i also can confirm your bug on any system regardless of hardware [18:46] cannonfodder: you mean you want to wipe a drive? [18:46] howeve, when i run the update, both systems will not finish loading my X [18:46] forceflow: isn't another way? [18:46] BluesKaj, yah!!! thats it!!! [18:46] it just sits after the log in screen [18:46] Alinn: not that I know of ... [18:47] tic^ no lol...i want my windows partition...i just want to wipe spots that are marked for writing [18:47] Alinn: why did you watn to get rid of python? [18:47] i'm not raging i'm just drawing attention to my question amongst all the text. i consider if i have two user and every single time i switch that i have to remove the battery that it isn't worth upgrading until it's fixed === has_ is now known as HebertSilva [18:47] hey does anyone know the name of the channel for Video card technology questions? [18:47] BluesKaj, thanks!!!! it runs now!!! :) [18:47] Sprocket: ##hardware would be a good place to start. [18:47] basically i dont want anyone recovering my info [18:47] thanks [18:47] Sprocket, which video card? [18:47] rowbot: that might be the correct conclusion for you!

[18:47] dban is good hd wiper [18:47] rowbot, yep i understand the problem, but next time think about how you word the issue [18:47] not a specific video card [18:47] Alinn: yeah, just reinstall the ubuntu-destkop package [18:47] Sprocket, ah ok [18:47] that should make ubuntu boot back into gnome again [18:48] ubott [18:48] any ideas?

[18:48] tfff [18:48] forceflow: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [18:48] abhi_nav, good :) [18:48] Alinn: yep [18:48] rowbot, without looking at the bug i think its something to do with gnome-screensaver [18:48] anyone know how to re-enable the hardware monitor gnome applet to show fan speed? i know i have to install something but can not remember what. [18:48] anyone know of this issue? [18:48] BluesKaj, :) [18:49] room #hardware is invite only [18:49] oldIT78, lm-sensors ? [18:49] Sprocket: Two hashes, its ##hardware [18:49] yeah i tried the recommended fixes but it doesn't work. how will i know for sure when it's been fixed as it takes a couple of hours to install and then remove? [18:49] cannonfodder: "shred"ing a partition is the best way to go. For going about your strange method: the find command can return files that match on permissions. [18:49] ok, the workaround from the comments that supposedly has a few minor glitches really doesn't work [18:49] registration required [18:49] !register | Sprocket [18:49] Sprocket: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [18:49] forceflow: i remove it because the package python-html2 need to newest version of python. [18:49] hmm.....ok wellll im going to have to write my own disk wiping software....does anyone know a good website to learn about the ext3 and the ntfs filesystem and also which programming language i can use to get down and dirty? [18:49] Sprocket: You'll also need to be registered and identified to join, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [18:49] forceflow: Thanks a lot :) [18:50] Alinn: no problem, hope it works :) [18:50] so, can anyone here tell me how i can configure my intel gma 945 video card manually? [18:50] cannonfodder: no need for anything like that in linux dd is enough [18:50] forceflow: :) [18:50] alright cool [18:50] airtonix: good idea, but already installed. is there some step after installing it that im missing? [18:50] so it will activate the external dvi output [18:50] Jolz: via xorg.conf? write your drivers? [18:50] Sprocket, /j ##hardware [18:51] lucid doens't a an xorg.conf anymore, or can i just create one? [18:51] Jolz: yep, you can create one [18:51] oldIT78, i just installed "hardware-monitor" and it was able to show my fan speed by default (this is on 10.10 though) [18:51] is there any other way other than uname to know which version of ubuntu we are running? [18:51] oldIT78, i believe the steps nessecary are listed on the help.ubuntu site [18:51] abhi_nav: lsb_release -a [18:51] !version | abhi_nav [18:51] abhi_nav: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [18:51] ah, good [18:51] i shall try that [18:51] can anyone in here tell me if there is an known issue with any of the post release updates with Xubuntu? [18:51] good luck [18:52] erUSUL, oCean_ ok [18:52] ZykoticK9: :< i have both the "hardware monitor" and the "hardware sensors monitor" installed and neither of them are giving me my fan speeds :< its just not recognizing my hardware im pretty sure, i had it working on a previous 10.04 install ... i just dont remember what id did.

[18:54] erUSUL dice que ya se hizo la coneccion pero la descarga va en 0% [18:55] how can I install ubuntu lucid server without gui [18:55] ? [18:55] southern: install the minimal iso [18:55] I mean I want to get back the dialog based setup interface [18:55] southern: or the server iso [18:55] alright. i have two hard drives. === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [18:56] my primary has windows on it, and i want to put ubuntu on another one (my secondary drive) [18:56] southern: the alternate cd will install in txt mode but give a desktop system [18:56] and then dualboot with grub [18:56] is there an easy way to do this? [18:56] ActionParsnip: minimal iso? [18:56] Re182: if windows is already installed, the dual boot wll be automagically handled [18:56] hi! [18:56] re182: yes, download the ubuntu-image and hit dual-boot when it asks [18:57] really? [18:57] so when i'm installing ubuntu, install it to the secondary hdd, and place grub where? [18:57] southern: it installs a minimal ubuntu, kernel + modules + bootloader. You can then add what you wish. [18:57] on the windows drive? or the ubuntu drive/ [18:57] re182: on MBR [18:57] Re182: i'd place it on the ubuntu hdd [18:57] install ubuntu on 1st drive and /home on second [18:57] There's a Move To: item under my right click context menu, but it's worthless as it only has two items under it. Is there a way to add my bookmarks to it? [18:57] people are all telling me different things here. [18:58] which is it? [18:58] airtonix: Success. I knew there was some step i was missing, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! [18:58] Re182: this will leave the windows boot loader alone and give more flexibility [18:58] Talking of Nautilus [18:58] ActionParsnip: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ??? [18:58] lots of options [18:58] hey guys this is bothering me for some time now. I am using a wifi N network ( adapter and card) but i only get 54M my card uses rt2870sta drivers its Ralink. is there a way to boost it to N speeds? [18:58] should I go with vmware or virtualbox (something else worthwhile?) in ubuntu? [18:58] re182: there is no right answer dude [18:58] Karamorf: I personally prefer virtualbox [18:58] southern: exactly [18:58] hi guys, i have a question: I have a USB Sentinel key dongle and i want to use it in Ubuntu, but the drivers for it are in .rpm format, if i try to convert it to a .deb with alien, you think the drivers will work after i install it? [18:58] heh, fake question. anyone know when they are going to release the non beta version of Flash 10.1 for linux. :< [18:58] kong: I'm afraid there's only one way to find out ... [18:58] actionparsnip: the ubuntu 10.04 install disc has an option to dualboot? and install grub2 to MBR? [18:58] ActionParsnip: and this iso is for server purposes? [18:58] re182: hit dual-boot, choose the other drive for installation - and it will all work out of the box, no need to make it any harder than it actually is [18:59] forceflow, lol yeah i kinda doubt it will work [18:59] Karamorf: virtualbox is open source on the repo but has no usb support. The closed source one does. Not sure on vmware [18:59] southern: Whats wrong with the server iso? [18:59] re182: part of the install is to detect other OSes and add them to grub [19:00] re182: Putting Grub on secondary drive (and setting bios to boot from secondary drive) gives you the option of getting to windows by changing BIOS back to booting from Primary drive. [19:00] southern: the minimal let's you install only what you need rather than the massive amount of fluff in a default sesktop install [19:00] i've got a problem with NetworkManager and nm-applet. I've read the /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian and tried both marking iufup as managed=true and managed=false (which is its default) yet I still have problems where nm-applet marks the network management as disabled. regardless of the nm-seystem-settings.conf [19:01] re182: as thune says. Both drives will be bootable but grub can boot the windows without any issues [19:01] forceflow: It works.Thanks a lot. ;-) [19:01] Alinn: no problem, glad I was right :) [19:01] re182: What state are you in currently (is Ubuntu installed but not giving you the option to boot windows, or have you not installed Ubuntu yet)? What state would you like to end up with (Choosing which OS to boot via the grub menu or via your BIOS's boot drive selection screen)? [19:01] ActionParsnip: THX I try [19:01] it [19:01] According to the # Windows guys - I have a issue when I reboot ubuntu. If I shutdown (cold) then start my machine, I can go to windows 7 fine. IF I reboot from Ubuntu - then I get a blue screen with the error nvstor64.sys, They say that ubuntu is doing something funny to my chipset when i reboot that windows 7 does not like.... any ideas what and how to fix? [19:01] forceflow: :) [19:01] I've installed ubuntu and windows [19:01] n3m3s1s4u: is there a bug logged for it? [19:02] not sure, I have tried google, but see nothing pop up from ubuntu... how can I check? [19:02] Pici: I couldn't figure out how can I install with dialog [19:02] my bios doesn't have an option to boot from the secondary drive [19:02] n3m3s1s4u: do you have the latest bios for your board [19:02] ah right didn't realise i could subscribe to bug will do that [19:02] ActionParsnip, Yes - I have done that today on the laptop from Asus [19:02] Pici: all the time I get the GUI install... [19:03] Re182: it will, hunt around. If not (doubtful) then switch controllers [19:03] ActionParsnip, I am updating ubuntu as we speak to latest if that will help and loading the restricted drivers for my graphics card [19:03] southern: Then you aren't using the server install. The server iso uses the same debian-install (ncurses-like) interface for the install process. [19:03] re182: Did you see the !dualboot instructions that I sent you yesterday? [19:03] re182: That's interesting, if you mean that your BIOS doesn't list the second drive as existing at all, then it won't present it to grub either (which means that at least /boot from Ubuntu would need to be on the first drive). [19:03] n3m3s1s4u: log a bug dude. If its a duplicate you can follow the flow and see if it gets sorted [19:03] Pici: ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso [19:04] hello anyone here with a recent ubuntu version who can check what the latest version is of KiCad in synaptic? [19:04] n3m3s1s4u: make sure your chipset driver is up to date too [19:04] ActionParsnip, eish, those bug pages are confusing [19:04] h00k: yes [19:04] !info kicad [19:04] n3m3s1s4u: its how things get fixed dude [19:04] ActionParsnip, how can I do the chipset driver in ubuntu?

[19:22] anyone good with networking? here is my setup: http://pastebin.com/eniNwcUd 2 eth adapters, eth0 is a VirtualBox NAT, which i dont expect to allow communication to the rest of the internal network. however eth2 should act just like any normal computer on the network, and talk to all other 10.* boxes on the network, but it isnt. [19:22] kong, only if its in the current directory you are in. [19:22] so my router does dhcp with gives everyone a 10.0.2.X address, and it is getting one properly. however it cant ping another box on the network such as 10.0.2.38 and it doesnt work the other direction either, which i just dont understand [19:22] virtualbox wreaked havoc on my networking [19:22] airtonix, yeah it wont let me run this dang .sh file even with sudo [19:23] just so you know... it would hijack everything and only let the VM NAT out [19:23] hey my bro where r u [19:23] malikeye|123: to me? [19:23] yeah [19:23] malikeye|123: never heard of that - maybe #vbox can help [19:23] statim1: try setting the virtualbox to a bridged connection. It will appear on your lan like an extra pc you just bought [19:24] statim1, its not working because your default route is pointing at your vbox network [19:24] yeah, I was using NAT, so you might not have that problem... can't bridge over wireless apparently :( [19:24] ActionParsnip: thats how eth2 is configured, and it is obtaining a regular internal ip like any other computer on the network [19:24] Statim1: ok cool [19:24] Hola Alguna opción del comando diff para me muestre las lineas que cambiaron, no me interesa saber el número de linea, ni nada.solo mostrar las lineas que se agregaron [19:24] !es | eduran [19:24] eduran: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [19:25] airtonix: yes you are onto the problem i think... do you know what controls that though? like how to reverse it? [19:25] statim1, if 10.0.2.X is the network on which your router lives to provide internet access then you need to have that set in routes as your default route [19:25] malikeye|123: I do bridge over wireless [19:25] hmm [19:25] I might've been reading old docs or something then [19:25] Wouldn't it be sick if they got ubuntu to run on my iPad? [19:26] statim1, you can use the nm-applet to set default routes [19:26] *ubottu sorry! [19:26] statim1, but i dont think you can setup the vbox network connection with nm-applet === taroven|Rawr is now known as taroven === bullgard_ is now known as bullgard4 [19:26] airtonix: ok will look for that... sounds like it might be a UI thing though and im on a server only, not sure though [19:27] statim1: i'd ask in #vbox too, they may be helpful [19:27] k [19:27] the thing about ui (as it applies to X) and servers... servers can have the x client libs and x clients and still be headless [19:28] the client's UI is displayed/interacted with on another machine [19:29] Hi all.

Also look at the heartbeat packages. Doing stateful redundancy on Linux is difficult. If you need stateful redundancy, then look at something like PF. [19:46] dajhorn, I also installed conntrackd [19:46] dajhorn, I tried openbsd, but I get the same problem there ... I can't hide behind the carp interface [19:47] raj, what makes you think you need one ? [19:47] dajhorn, I'm much more experienced with linux anyways [19:48] candyban: PF is easy and elegant compared to the same things in Linux. If PF was incompatible in your environment, then you're probably screwed. [19:48] pici:well m8 i wish it did solved, it didnt, the xorg didnt recongnized again the ATI card and ask to load a trobleshoting or load defaults screen [19:49] candyban: MASQing in Linux requires stateful innards. You may get a better answer if you describe why you need to do this. [19:49] dajhorn, I am not familiar with pf ... and I was able to hide behind the carp interface, (outgoing traffic was correctly natted, but the way back didn't work) [19:49] nevermind [19:49] Hi Guys, I am back [19:49] dajhorn, I just want a fully redundant firewall setup ... so that if I want to upgrade/reboot a firewall, it has no impact whatsoever on the "users" [19:49] abhinav_singh, > !compile [19:50] (10.04) when i try to create a custom keyboard shortcut for screenshot of area (gnome-screenshot -a), it just ignores the -a argument and takes a shot of my whole desktop.

[19:53] Pici, and yes we are different. I am not that person. you can see difference in our nick. i am talking with him in pm. and he need to know about compile so i do that. [19:53] dajhorn, why would this be difficult? In my opinion it should be implemented in any self respecting organisation [19:53] candyban: Stateful firewall redundancy is difficult to do in Ubuntu. The best that you're likely to get is a Heartbeat-style IP takeover and dropped connections. [19:53] abhi_nav: I'm sorry, you have very similar nicks, I thought it may have been you at another computer. My apologies. [19:53] Pici, yah its ok.

[20:12] dynamic ip doesn't matter but if she's behind a firewall you may need to set up port forwarding or allow port 5900 [20:12] a3ist, I see, thanks. She does have a router, thing I like about gotoassist is that it goes right thru any firewalls and you dont need to know the person's IP..... but you also gotta pay 60$ a month XD [20:12] goodnight guys and tnx for help ! [20:13] farchord: LogMeIn has a free edition [20:13] They have a linux viewer but I don't think client, though [20:13] On Ubuntu, how do I get a copy of Magick++.h, so I can incorporate it into my C++ programs? All the packages I've found only give me .so files, not header files. [20:13] !seen theadmin [20:13] I have no seen command [20:14] trimeta: -dev packages have the headers [20:14] Does linux have any good video library software? ( i want to look at cached screencaps of each video in my video lib) [20:15] hola [20:15] mguy: generally the terms client and viewer are synonymous in these kind of apps; you mean client/server [20:15] trimeta: so libmagick++-dev perhaps ? [20:15] mguy: not tryin to nitpick just to make sure nobody gets the wrong info since there's a lot of newer folk [20:15] airtonix after a restart everything works now ..i set up some rules and it works fine..when watching the log the local occurence port 16001 is gone..the one with port 14013 to my router is listed the whole time [20:15] erUSUL: Hmm, that apparently requires installing 40 other packages... [20:16] disappearedng: nautilus ( the filemanager ) shows thumbnails for videos already [20:16] a3ist: I wouldn't really call it a server though. I know what you are saying. [20:16] Apparently I'd need to install the dev versions of pretty much every other library on my system... [20:16] !search Magick++.h [20:16] Found: [20:16] !search magick++.h [20:16] erUSUL: not when it's all hierarcharlly stacked within folders [20:16] farchord: Most routers these days have a decent web interface for setting up port forwarding or a simple DMZ [20:17] farchord: The basic problem is that for computers to connect to each other over the internet, at least one of them needs to not be behind NAT (or at least have port forewarding enabled). What services like gotomypc provide is just basically a non NAT'd intermediate machine. [20:17] Jordan_U, yep :) Was just curious if linux has such a thing :) [20:18] farchord: If you make your PC available directly through port forewarding then she can initiate a connection to you no matter what NAT she's behind (as long as she can access the internet at all, and the port that you've decided to foreward) [20:18] mguy: Yeah, its not a hard definition; there's certainly applications out there that dynamically act as both a "server" or "client", like starcraft for example - host a game, you act as a server, join one and you're a client [20:18] Jordan_U, thanks :) [20:19] I guess I'd call it more host/viewer [20:19] The point is that most session hosting protocols split up the hosting and viewing funcionality into separate programs [20:19] I have a graphic problem with my operating system. Yesterday I tried to explain it and I couldn't explain what my problem was so I made a video file and took pictures to show my problem. How can I send the files I made ( which I compressed in a zip archive) to you? [20:19] Just different terms, anyways enough OT ;) [20:19] !screenshots [20:19] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [20:19] Im back :) [20:19] hi [20:19] Ellow >.< [20:20] Yeah farchord, check out the VNC programs that allow for "reverse" vnc; so your family member could connect to you regardless of their IP [20:20] hello, the upgrade to lucid tells me I don't have enough space on /var ... is there a way to get apt to use another filesystem for the upgrade? [20:20] Hello [20:20] i've just got a new samsung laptop, it has led backlight, and i cant set the brigthness, not even with the brigthness tool on the panel. Can anybody help? :$ [20:20] its a samsung r528 [20:20] farchord: You're welcome. [20:21] I'd really like to stress though that setting up port forwarding these days is usually a pretty trivial task if you have access to the web interface of the modem/router [20:21] How Can i change the distance from icons on desktop ? [20:21] cq apt stores package files in /var/cache/apt/archives... you could clean [20:21] Jim I already did a clean... I have a 2G partition, 600M used, and the upgrade wants 1.5 roughly... [20:21] a3ist: Do you have a separate /var partition currently? [20:21] My graphic problem http://imagebin.org/102629 [20:22] There's usually not a whole lot more to setting up forwarding other than setting 1) the port from outside 2) the internal IP address to forward to 3) the port on that IP address to forward to [20:22] CQ: mount a different partition in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? ( or make a link ? ) [20:22] CQ: are you saying /var is 2g? [20:22] jim yes [20:22] Jordan_U, I'm not sure I understand the context of your question; is it related to the VNC stuff? I'm on an arch linux laptop right now with no separate var partition but with a separate boot partition [20:23] hmm. do you use lvm? [20:23] a3ist: Sorry, wrong nick. [20:23] or, do you have unpartitioned space? [20:23] I'm also logged into a remote Ubuntu 10.04 server with multiple sessions via FreeNX [20:23] jim yes, but I don't feel safe resizing /var online though... [20:23] jim I can make and moutn another aprition no problem [20:24] How can I fix this problem? http://imagebin.org/102629 [20:24] having an issue with NFS: trying to mount a folder /opt/shared/ from the server but it fails with reason "No such file or directory" but in my exports i have /opt/shared/ as the only directory to share... any help? [20:24] ok, sure... if you're using lvm, you could create say a 3g /var replacement partition and copy stuff overs [20:24] CQ: Copy the current contents of /var somewhere else and either mount that other partition directly to /var, or if you want /var to be stored in a subdirectory of another partition then use a symlink. [20:25] what's the purpose of the machine? [20:25] jim home server ... all data is backed up, full system is not... [20:25] I'm getting my new laptop soon, and the last piece of the puzzle is to find out which app that's best for working with raw images from my dSLR. In digikam I think the default results are to dull and lifeless. Anyone got any tips for better apps? Bibble?

[20:25] !mint | cian1243 [20:25] cian1243: 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) [20:26] not like openoffice though [20:26] and not like powerpoint either hehe [20:26] remlabm: I have not used nfs in a while, but don't you have to restart a service, after you make changes to the exports? [20:26] !mintsupport > cian1243 [20:26] cian1243, please see my private message [20:26] Jordan_U: should just pointing the apt cache dir work? [20:26] CQ: so if you're not comfortable with resizing, the easiest is to create (say) a 3-4g replacement partition (or LV) and copy /var over [20:26] meganert: already did that.. same result [20:26] Jordan_U: s/pointing/repointing [20:26] hi! what's the easiest way to bind caps lock to insert a backslash? [20:26] IdleOne it is the same problem with ubuntu and fedora [20:27] CQ: if it is only for upgrading just make that with /var/cache/apt/archives/ [20:27] meganerd: is there something better to replace NFS? [20:27] cian1243: that is mint. we don't support mint [20:27] CQ: Yes, making the apt cache dir a symlink to a directory on another partition should work. [20:27] IdleOne it is the exact same problem [20:27] cian1243: We also do not support Fedora here. use #fedora for that [20:27] remlabm: I just use samba these days [20:28] cian1243: We can't help with that. [20:28] be honest. you -won't- help with that [20:28] jim :D [20:29] jim: exactly [20:29] hello [20:29] the truth is you always have choice [20:29] CQ: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1499803&highlight=free+disk+space+upgrade last post has that described (symlinking) [20:29] remlabm: I made the switch back around 2003. I found that NFS was very flakey over 802.11b or accross a VPN (like OpenVPN), samba was much more reliable. [20:29] We /won't/ because we don't support mint === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin === Dineren_ is now known as Dineren [20:29] remlabm: I suppose these days they both work just as well, there just is no incentive for me to move back. [20:30] arand: thanks [20:30] hrrm, so if cian1243 does a screenshot of ubuntu logo misshaped in the same way you will support it? [20:30] CQ, so you have quite a number of choices :) [20:30] CQ: Actually http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9226627&postcount=2 was the correct one, my bad [20:30] how do i bind backslash to capslock?

[20:32] as far as my research took me, that seems to be an issue with the driver [20:32] klawd: Ah, you can't define arbitrary keys there.. [20:32] is there any way to upgrade via the terminal? [20:32] and it doesn't matter if i use xrandr or a static xorg.conf [20:32] klawd: Ignore that. [20:33] does anyone have a suggestion as what to do? [20:33] damn [20:33] harth, you may have to unale the option in software center to see LTS os also [20:33] harth: sudo update-manager -d [20:33] erUSUL: I tried that as well [20:33] i got a serious problem..i cant shutdown or restart my ubuntu laptop...whenever i click shut down or restart it turn black and shows all those text that usually shows up but within few seconds the login screen appears [20:33] oh wait, it worked, thanks erUSUL [20:34] erUSUL: Please don't sugggest -d, that is for upgrading to the development version of Ubuntu, which is Maverick at this time. [20:34] its offering 10.04 for me [20:34] aswin: from the command line try "sudo shutdown" [20:34] Pici: noted [20:34] ok i'll try that..but why does the normal way work?

[20:37] aswin: It has happened to me once or twice. After I power down it does not happen again for a while. I never figured out why. I always have a konsole session open so there is no real motivation to figure it out :) [20:37] k [20:37] i'll try it out..thnx meganerd :( [20:37] :) [20:38] aswin it's a common problem some solutions suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466589 [20:38] I mean, as long as debian was going to do automatic upgrades which then culminated in apt-get, I thought it was dumb that they didn't solve the package storage issue [20:39] hej [20:39] kto z was powie mi skąd bierzecie te kody do terminala ?

[22:35] thanks [22:35] dajhorn Nvidia 310M graphics card on a sony vaio F11 , the wikki's are full of it ... there's a bug that makes the 64 bit nvidia drivers unusuable unless you go to windows , run a program that gets and exports the EDID info as a .bin , then you move that file to /ETC/X11 (or similar) and then edit xorg.conf to tell it to look for EDID.bin .. its so complicated its maddening [22:35] !grub2 | Karamorf [22:35] Karamorf: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [22:35] Karamorf: And most of the stuff that you might want to change in Lucid is in /etc/default/grub now.

[22:37] rbellamy: Don't run those commands unless you're local.

[22:40] !yum | samuels [22:40] samuels: Uh, don't you mean !apt ? [22:40] Jordan_U: i would like to use yum please [22:40] samuels: One of the options for how a partition should be used (along with ext4, swap etc) should be as a member of a raid array.

I have shell access from another computer, what can I do to safely save my work and close my open programs? [22:47] samuels: aha! [22:48] any way to install that perl-doc [22:48] samuels...you're using redhat...not ubuntu -- it doesn't run on apt-get like Ubuntu does [22:48] ok [22:48] :) [22:48] samuels, rhel is not supported here [22:48] i shall google it [22:48] samuels: in that case, you can use yum, as you already know [22:48] I have some problems with my HD!

I'll look into those. Thanks. [23:18] Jamie: KDM comes with a nice theme by default, and is good with more than one user, since it will show the account that was last logged in :) KDE app though, so will want to put on quite a bit of KDE stuff, if you haven't put a KDE app on before [23:18] I searh on the web but the results doesn't resolve the problem [23:18] ferran, you can't run a SOCKS5 from localhost as far as I know...you need to run through a remote server [23:18] slidinghorn: lol i was trying to get my monitor to load and pasting code in there from other peoples config file and now im stuck on the boot screen [23:19] SlidingHorn, ferran: uhm, if you're using tor+privoxy, you *will* generally have a SOCKS server running on localhost's port 8118. [23:19] Jamie: shoudn't be an issue as long as your partition isn't a really stupid size. Also with Linux distros you can have loads of apps installed without stuff getting slow, like what would happen with WIndows.

There are some pretty nice themes on the website for it, and it doesn't seem like it would take much for you to make your own theme even.

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:40] Jordan_U: I used sudo grub to get into the menu [23:40] My boot partition is sda3 so I thought root (hd0,2) and setup (hd0) would do it [23:40] but I get "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" [23:40] Hello! When I tried to install the wormux from tar.bz file, after the . /configure it says that: SDL version 1.2.6 not found! What should I do? [23:40] Tsadiq: What version of Ubuntu [23:40] 9.10, I believe [23:41] This live cd is 9.04, though [23:41] Juniksz, have you installed the build essential package? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-build-essential === win_2_linux is now known as totallinuxnoob [23:41] Tsadiq: 9.10 uses grub2: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [23:41] When I change the size of a panel in the new ubuntu to say, 48 pixels... it looks like the background image just repeats, so it looks like an old school website. Anyone else notice this? [23:42] Jordan_U: Even if I installed 9.04 and upgraded to 9.10? [23:42] Is it possible to do a full OS upgrade (distro) from the command line? [23:42] rmrfslash, yes...it's because the theme is only made to be presented @ a certain size...you can try to make a replacement image with the desired dimensions and replace it in the theme if you wish [23:42] Name141: sudo do-release-upgrade [23:42] Name141: yes, sudo do-release-upgrade [23:42] Also, if I delete the bottom panel then re-add it and make it not "expand" when you logout/login it is always positioned to the top and even if you go to "properties" and change the position to "bottom" the selection is put back to "top" === totallinuxnoob is now known as kendoggie [23:43] People help плыз.... I wish to crack a server one but незнаю with what to begin..... Can you prompt from what to begin??? [23:43] rmrfslash: yes the background image repeats. you'll have to make a copy of the image and resize it and set it as the background [23:43] SlidingHorn: ubuntu-build-essential not found :S [23:43] Tsadiq: No, but if you're having problems restoring grub legacy then now might be a good time to switch to grub2 anyway. === kendoggie is now known as talios [23:43] FACK: discussion of cracking is not permitted here [23:43] ?? [23:43] SlidingHorn: cool [23:43] maco: cool [23:44] Juniksz, sorry, it's just sudo apt-get install build-essential [23:44] Why::?? [23:44] suppose I didn't realize that was actually a feature [23:44] Jordan_U: That link will tell me how to? Will old settings (addition to menu.lst I think) remain? [23:44] rmrfslash: i should get around to finishing that gradient patch i started for gnome-panel nearly 2 years ago... [23:44] FACK, because it's illegal === talios is now known as Ezzaravvri [23:44] rmrfslash: its not a feature. its just crappy [23:44] maco/bastid_raZor: Is it as 'safe' as if I did it on the actual machine ?

[23:45] Name141: run inside screen if over ssh [23:45] the positioning thins has been a bug for at least 2 years [23:45] Though advise to begin with what?? [23:45] FACK: no [23:45] * SlidingHorn looks disapprovingly @ maco for using enter too much ;-) [23:45] maco: yes, over SSH [23:45] (( [23:45] FACK: being by /join #backtrack-linux [23:45] )) [23:45] rmrfslash: gnome panel has no support for gradients, but it has support for image backgrounds. thats all thats being used in the theme [23:45] what does it mean when the pid of the son resulting from fork() is null? [23:46] rmrfslash: i started on a patch to add gradient support, but then i switched to kde before i finished [23:46] does apt-get have a verify option to see if a package is installed and what version it is? [23:46] bastid_raZor: Why is that nessessary? [23:46] GIVE IN LOANS TILL NEXT WINTER)))))))))))) [23:46] Tsadiq: Yes, following the guide in the link I gave works for upgrading to grub2 as well. Settings like extra kernel parameters will be preserved but extra menu entries will not (grub2 will automatically detect any other OSs you have though) [23:46] lifenotfound: apt-cache policy package <-- tells you the installed version [23:46] ыыыыыыыыыыы [23:46] FACK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I skimmed over it a bit, hope it will work [23:47] Name141: if your network dropsi and its inside screen it can keep going and finish and you can reattach and see what its doing [23:47] Name141: if you do it outside of screen and your network drops, it might hangup the process or if not...it might try to ask you questions that you cant reach to answer [23:47] maco: I see [23:47] Tsadiq: You're welcome. [23:48] my desktop PC don't have the option to suspend the machine~ what should i do to enable it? [23:48] maco: Gnome bugs always just seem like... sloppy bugs. KDE bugs just seem more like ppl can't code, and I'm somehow almost more accepting of those kinds of bugs. [23:48] )) [23:48] rmrfslash: this isnt a bug, its just a hack around a lack of a feature ;-) [23:48] #backtrack-linux no******))))))))))))) [23:49] !op | FACK [23:49] FACK: Help! Channel emergency!
