[00:02] тебе нужно отформатировать хард снести таблицу [00:03] и заново поставить [00:03] !ru|ubuntu [00:03] ubuntu: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [00:04] Oer, he is just trolling [00:04] I there was already there there is no not who [00:06] Hi where can I locate my vmlinuz26??? this is urgent! [00:06] I installed grub2 but I cant locate my vmlinuz26 anywhere [00:06] georgij, in /boot? [00:07] georgij, the kernel is under /boot and symlinked to /vmlinuz [00:07] wildbat I do ls /boot and its not there === samuelswe is now known as samuelSwe [00:07] georgij, do you have a boot partition then? [00:07] I am in my linux partition [00:07] I can navigate around inside grub2 [00:07] yes I do [00:08] I can even navigate around in it too [00:08] it is in the boot partition then [00:08] I installed grub2 after have had grub [00:08] ls =l [00:08] how do i configure my windows systems to see the Linux system [00:09] juggalo483, to access the linux partition/drive? [00:09] yeah [00:09] juggalo483: on the same machine? [00:09] juggalo483: or remotely? [00:09] laperr what? [00:09] juggalo483, there's an installable file system driver ext2ifs i think it's called, but I never had much luck with ext4 filesystem [00:09] wildbat I get file not found [00:09] i just want my windows laptop to read files/folders on ubuntu [00:09] georgij, shouldn't you use update-grub after the setup ? it should set up grub.cfg already? [00:10] wildbat plus there is nothing except the grub folder inside /boot [00:10] over the network [00:10] juggalo483: SSH is probably the esiest way [00:10] *easiest [00:10] wildbat what should I do? Iam in kind of a panic state :( [00:10] juggalo483: on Ubuntu, "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" [00:10] juggalo483: winscp and/or putty for windows client [00:11] juggalo483: on Windows, install Filezilla or some other app that supports SFTP [00:11] mneptok, why not cifs? [00:11] i cant just open file sharing i have to install FTP? [00:11] codebrainz: because it's 100x more painful to set up. [00:11] wildbat I did! [00:11] mneptok, not really, *if* the GUI works :) [00:12] !patience | georgij [00:12] georgij: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [00:12] wildbat I have even a grub.cfg inside [00:12] can someone recommend a gmail notification program that works with google apps? [00:12] georgij, and the system fail to boot? [00:12] pooky: are you running Lucid? [00:13] mneptok: 10.04 [00:13] I forget the names :/ [00:13] georgij, boot to live CD ~ it is limited you can do in grub prompt> [00:13] wildbat I cant live cd I have no cd input [00:13] bastid_razor: do i have to use FTP [00:14] I tried gmail notifier, but it couldn't auth my google app accounts. [00:14] )) [00:14] hkg [00:14] wildbat I have eee laptop that's why [00:14] bay [00:14] georgij, boot USB? [00:14] ubuntu, остановить изменение имен, мы знаем, что это ты. [00:15] (stop changing names, we know it's you) [00:15] wildbat One question before I do that. Do u have ur vmlinuz inside ur boot_ [00:15] georgij, wait, let's me guess you use wubi? [00:15] pooky: sudo apt-get install checkgmail [00:15] wait, that was checkgmail, sorry, I've been trying everything I could find via google, wondering if someone had a successful instance [00:15] Hey guys, I'm a long time Ubuntu user, and a software developer who needs a bit of help helping a friend move their wubi Ubuntu Lucid Lynx installation to a dedicated partition. I have VNC and SSH access to their system. I tried the steps at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html to no avail. [00:15] georgij, we don't have boot_ ~ [00:15] wildbat ok I am using archlinux but I got banned from both linux and archlinux [00:16] I couldn't get the partitionmanager package to install, and I couldn't find a newer version in the repositories. Any ideas? [00:16] mneptok: that would be good if it could auth my google app accounts. It only works for my standard gmail though. [00:16] georgij, that is not supported here [00:16] wildbat where is ur vmlinuz located? [00:16] georgij, being banned elsewhere has nothing to do with Ubuntu [00:16] Unfortunately, I only have less than a gig to work with, as they maxed out their Ubuntu partition before asking me to help them resize their Windows partition and move Ubuntu to a new dedicated partition. [00:17] shouldnt linux place it somewhere in / then put it in /boot [00:17] anyone know how to fix "Unknown monitor"? it says CRT even though this is an LCD [00:17] Yes it does more users in here and better support since people are more likely to answer [00:17] The dedicated partition does not exist yet. I need to help them install partitionmanager to create that first. [00:17] georgij, no [00:17] bastid_razor: i think yo mis understand me i looking to just view network folders/files like in windows when i click on network all my systems show up [00:17] georgij: please stop. you're asking about Arch in #ubuntu. it will not be long before you are banned here, as well. [00:17] Bazhang yes [00:17] mneptok: thanks for trying though. [00:18] Unfortunately, I can't resize the Windows partition while in Ubuntu because of the fact it's mounted as the wubi host partition. [00:18] juggalo483, enable file sharing on windows, share folder, and then in Ubuntu use "Connect to server" under the places menu. probably the easiest way [00:18] Can anyone help me with this? I've been desperately trying to install the partition manager software in GRUB for the last hour... [00:18] pooky: http://groups.google.com/group/hosted-the-basics/browse_thread/thread/940c68ba6ecdf29a/5e5ead64d1fb160e?pli=1 [00:18] anyone know how to fix "Unknown monitor"? it says CRT even though this is an LCD [00:19] aliendude3500, can you dd the wubi install? [00:19] codebrainz: what about the other way around [00:19] how do I take somthing off the autoremove list? [00:19] juggalo483, not too much harder, assuming ubuntu has a gui for this (i think it does), otherwise it's a bit of pita [00:19] I have access to the file, but I shouldn't attempt to dd it while it's mounted. Right now I'm connected via ssh and vnc to the wubi installation. [00:20] I've been trying to use this method to transfer the data: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [00:20] aliendude3500, live CD? [00:21] list [00:21] aliendude3500, you could rsync the wubi install to another machine and then rsync it back after tweaking the partition table? [00:21] cuanta gente [00:21] wildbat: I'm on my working Ubuntu installation, sshing into the target wubi installation across the internet. We're not even in the same state :/ [00:21] mneptok: yes, I'd seen that thread. I'm pretty sure I searched a bit before coming here, was hoping someone had something they were using without issue. the checkgmail issues cropped up due to changes in the google apps api [00:21] !es | Andros`Dareion [00:21] Andros`Dareion: 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. [00:22] codebrainz: Unfortunately, the wubi install is mounted. is moving the files while inside the installation really a good idea? [00:23] aliendude3500, you can do copy inside of moving [00:23] SlidingHorn, gracias/thanks you [00:23] I'm on a different machine right now, with a 1.5TB hard disk. Storing their stuff isn't a problem at all, I'm more worried about corrupting the data. [00:23] Andros`Dareion, de nada [00:23] SlidingHorn, hablas español vos'? [00:24] aliendude3500, rsync will copy the fs from theirs to yours, then you transfer back to a partition later. only issues would be pseudo filesystems like /dev and such, which you can fixup afterwards [00:24] a/inside/instead [00:24] Andros`Dareion, I only know enough to order a beer and say "¿dónde está el baño? mi gato está en fuego" [00:24] aliendude3500, of course the remote thing makes everything a lot more of a pain [00:24] guys help me please, i've deleted by mistake /etc/init.d/mtab.sh & /etc/init.d/udev is there any way to restore them ?! [00:24] !undelete | vyrgozunqk [00:25] vyrgozunqk: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:25] SlidingHorn, your cat is on fire? [00:25] lol yep! [00:25] The problem is, the wubi installation is within their windows installation. I don't feel like moving all 360GB. Just the 30 from wubi. And I don't think it will let me transfer the wubi partition while I'm in it. [00:25] aliendude3500, this is exactly what rsync does [00:26] aliendude3500, or can't your friend boot a live CD and set a passwd and setup sshd? just two command be4 you can ssh over his liveCD [00:26] how do I go about doing that? I'm in their system with SSH as root right now. [00:26] SlidingHorn: i can't use any of these tools [00:26] i'm in recovery mode [00:26] my mouse double clicks after a single click like 30% of the time. it tried futzing with the double click timeout in the mouse preferences but no dice. anyone have any ideas? [00:26] in a terminal, can't boot the system normal === Rolcol2 is now known as Rolcol [00:26] They're not at their PC right now, which complicates things even more :/ [00:27] They're communicating with me with their iPhone :/ [00:27] can someone please upload those files for me somewhere so i can download them with wget ? [00:27] nvidia config, when I set it to separate x screen, I cannot move mouse from one screen to the other? why [00:27] aliendude3500, check the rsync manpage, something like 'rsync -ar -e ssh user@hostname:/ /home/you/backupdir' [00:27] aliendude3500, check the manpage first though, those options probably aren't 100% [00:27] i have ubuntu 10.04 and the network manager icon is missing at the top of the screen. i tried running NetworkManager from a command prompt but it said that it is already running. i also tried running "metacity --replace" which I found on google and that doesn't help either. any ideas? [00:28] do I type the rsync command while in ssh, or do I do that from my account on my system? [00:28] I'm assuming the latter? [00:28] vyrgozunqk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Foremost [00:28] aliendude3500, you can go either way, the former means you need a ssh on your local box [00:28] aliendude3500, *ssh server that is [00:29] SlidingHorn: i can't read those post i don't have any GUY, i can't load the system normal ! [00:29] so i need those two files to load the system [00:29] codebrainz: now will this only backup their home folder, or their whole linux filesystem? [00:29] plus i probably can't recover the files 'cause i've already have written some files to the HDD [00:29] i also get "nm-applet" is already running when i try to run that as well [00:30] aliendude3500, however you want, rsync is (in a sense) a super smart cp [00:30] ubuntu has no games [00:30] GOOD POINT Guest86978 [00:30] tard. [00:30] anyone using separate x screen settings in nvidia config? [00:30] thune3 i_m back again [00:30] who [00:31] vyrgozunqk, you can use lynx to view the links? basically it says to install foremost and how to use it [00:31] razz1, like two monitors? [00:31] ubuntu: pm me [00:31] code, yes [00:31] code, laptop and external monitor [00:31] razz1, i am, twinview [00:32] vyrgozunqk, i don't have mtab.sh =.=; [00:32] 0_0 [00:32] what about /etc/init.d/udev ? [00:32] codebrainz: Okay, that's copying right now... [00:33] code, I am using twinview as well, but it's treating the whole area as one screen, I just want two separate screens, I tried separate x screens, but mouse gets stuck in one screen, how to move it between two screens? [00:33] i have ubuntu 10.04 and the network manager icon is missing at the top of the screen. i tried running NetworkManager from a command prompt but it said that it is already running. i also tried running "metacity --replace" which I found on google and that doesn't help either. i try running nm-applet manually from the command line and it says that the applet is already running as well. any ideas? [00:34] SlidingHorn: :D [00:34] campee, yeah [00:34] razz1, so what do want then? [00:34] codebrainz: is there anyway to exclude a folder from rsync, for example "/host", which contains their entire windows partition? [00:35] campee, try and close the applets [00:35] aliendude3500, yep, see the manpage, all the options are in there (man rsync) [00:35] code, just want to know how to move the mouse between two x screens in separate x screen mode [00:35] campee: ps aux | grep "nm-applet" (find the process id --- kill that process then open it via command line again) [00:35] aliendude3500, it think it's --exclude [00:35] vyrgozunqk, http://wildbat.my3park.net/udev [00:36] #php [00:36] wildbat: tnx a lot [00:36] isn't a channel [00:36] razz1, if you have two X screens running, you will need something like synergy i suspect. what's wrong with twinview? [00:36] SlidingHorn: i figured it out. i had to re-add the noficiation area. [00:36] pepon3rd, ##php may be? [00:36] notification* [00:36] ah, good on you! [00:37] razz1, wait, my mouse moved between screens i think, but windows would move between them [00:37] code, i get windows spreading over two screens sometimes?? very irritating [00:37] razz1, s/would/wouldn't/ [00:37] do u recommend windows for games [00:38] how do i know what flash plugin to install [00:38] razz1, they shouldn't. I have two multiple maximized windows on invidual screens without spanning, the panel is on the main screen. [00:38] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [00:38] - the Lucid Lynx [00:38] OS [00:38] G-man, juse use what is there [00:38] I'm trying to build the wireless sources for a wireless card on 10.04. however, the sources use api stuff from an older version of the linux kernel that was deprecated in 2.6.23. Is there anyway I can compile this wireless card drivers for a pre 2.6.31 kernel? [00:38] razz1, maybe it's the application(s) you're using? what is it? [00:38] code, there has to be a way to move the mouse, otherwise what's the use of such a setup. it does not happen always, it happens with empathy [00:39] G-man, you can find in ubuntu application center [00:39] Hello all [00:39] sup [00:39] like can I just apt-get an older version of the kernel? [00:39] there is any package for Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet driver ? [00:39] so even you cannot move the mouse pointer in separate x screen mode? [00:39] razz1, it sounds to me like what you want is twinview, but like i said, my mouse moved to any screen in either mode, but windows were stuck on a specific screen in seperate X screens [00:39] ask me plz === Gwar is now known as Gwar|afk [00:40] Hey guys! [00:40] I just bought a Sony Vaio VPCF127FX and tried slapping ubuntu on it, all was well and file except I couldn't do multi-monitor and my touchpad didn't work. That was till I decided to install the nvidia drivers, now I cannot get video to display on my laptop :( [00:40] how can i install gnome back in lucid lynx [00:40] ? [00:40] and google has been worthless :( [00:40] razz1, is it possible that the screens are reverse, did you try moving the mouse to the other edge of the screen to see if it switches to the next display? [00:40] sudo apt-get install gnome dont work [00:40] ozstr1ker, ubuntu-desktop [00:40] how about gnome-desktop [00:40] oh yeah, ubuntu-desktop [00:41] but it not full [00:41] as gnome [00:41] guys ubuntu has no games [00:41] !games > Guest86978 [00:41] Guest86978, please see my private message [00:41] code, thats what I want, windows stuck on separate screens, I tried that, it's always stuck in my external screen? no excape [00:42] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [00:42] but packeg gnome nnot intsalled [00:42] waf? [00:42] razz1, that's odd. are your positions setup properly in nvidia-settings? [00:42] gnome is installed automatic in ubuntu. [00:42] codebrainz, talking to me? [00:43] how do I check that? [00:43] Cay, are you razz1 ? [00:43] hehehe [00:43] I just didn't see razz1 talking :( [00:43] QQ [00:43] but it's unintaled whrn i removes not use aplications [00:43] code, your 2nd screen, is it to the right? my laptop is absolute and external to the right but ofcourse they both have different resolution [00:43] Cay, I actually have a vaio laptop with ubuntu, but it has ATI gfx [00:43] codebrainz, I heard the ati drivers suck (finding out that nvidias are aparently worst!) [00:44] Cay, normally yes, but this is a good gfx for a laptop and I made sure it was supported in linux [00:44] I should also mention I can still see video in my external montior and I can see things w... [00:45] You know what, it's probably trying to feed too high of a resolution (or too low) to this display [00:45] I wager that's it (or refresh) [00:45] there is any package for Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet driver ? [00:45] Cay, use the proprietary drivers and the nvidia-settings program to configure [00:45] My computer shut down (low battery) while updating and i think it killed my usb - how do i dump usb and reinstall it. This seems to have worked for cups - printing [00:45] Cay, maybe reinstall your ubuntu [00:46] razz1, on my nvidia card in my desktop, i have two 22" side by side (panel/main screen on left) [00:47] tomishere, try synaptic [00:47] brb going to try to fix this in console [00:47] code, my lappy rez = 1280x800, external =1280x1024, I suspect this is what causing grief [00:48] I am trying a search through synaptic guest86798 [00:48] hello i have problems i cant install atl1 the driver [00:48] razz1, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=139592 (potentially useful info linked in that thread) [00:48] for my network adapter [00:49] code, did you set the rex to auto or set it manually? [00:49] crap that is bad [00:49] razz1, res you mean? auto and my actual res both work [00:49] gmd is unonstalling [00:49] code yes [00:50] code, thanks for the link [00:50] i just uninstalled xserver, I am suprised the desktop hasn't shut down [00:50] ok install it again [00:51] code, with bluetooth, it used to work now it doesn't, I have dualboot with vista, I read in the wiki that if I disable bluetooth in windows, it will not work in ubuntu, i that right? [00:51] if i have two files, say name.ex1 and name.ex2 is there an easy way to rename them to name2.ex1 and name2.ex2. like a single command [00:51] what usbutils, I don;t think it will solve this problem [00:51] razz1, doubtful [00:51] code, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [00:53] god I hope that worked [00:53] solved [00:53] What is the command to restart X on Ubuntu 10.04?

[01:04] my windows 7, XP, and xbox cannot ping server [01:04] they have to access shares via the IP address, starting yesterday [01:04] the router has not been updated or changed in any way [01:04] johnofwax: less \n [01:05] jteknet, the first option on the live cd boot menu, and apt-get install gparted if it's not installed by default on the live cd [01:05] johnofwax: u have dnsmasq on ... on ur dd-wrt router? [01:05] Hi, I successfully connected to an openvpn server. How can I get my local ip(vpn) address? [01:05] yes I do [01:05] sounds like dns issues to me bro [01:05] codebrainz: Could it be because I have the 64-bit AMD version disc? [01:05] rolandpish, does the tun adapter apeared ? [01:05] johnofwax: install a packet sniffere [01:05] Thats what I thought too, as the router-being-able-to-see-name was just discovered about 5 minutes ago. [01:05] jteknet, if you have a 64-bit cpu, doubtful [01:06] ifconfig should show a tunnel interface [01:06] codebrainz: Yeah, I have a Phenom II QuadCore [01:06] johnofwax: do what clcto suggested and use umm.... tcpdump to see whats going on [01:06] HexLaTor: no, if I execute ifconfig -a only lo and eth0 appears. I successfully connected because I can ping the 10.8.0.1 [01:06] I've had this working before. I ran upgrade and then I shutdown and tried to start again and xwindows wouldn't come up. [01:06] So now I'm just doing it the pansy way and trying to reinstall. [01:06] rolandpish, it should appear first [01:06] jteknet, yeah, the just press enter twice when the cd starts to boot [01:07] #severedfifth [01:07] rolandpish, try to enter to /etc/openvpn and type: openvpn server.conf [01:07] jteknet, i forget the wording, enter to English and then Enter on the first boot menu item [01:07] codebrainz: My only options are "Install Ubuntu" "Check disc for defects" "Test Memory" etc. I don't have a "live cd" option [01:07] how do you use the tcpdump command? [01:07] jteknet, did you download the "alternate" cd or "server" cd? [01:07] anthon: tcpdump -v [01:08] HexLaTor: the openvpn server is in Windows, and I connected from my ubuntu box [01:08] codebrainz: That, I'm not sure of. It's been weeks. I have a 10mb connection so if I need to download another, I can. Which one is the "right" one? [01:08] thanks [01:08] HexLaTor, I can use the server without problems, but I would like to know my ip address assigned from openvpn [01:08] rolandpish, hmmm never tried it on windows, but an adapter should appear in ur network [01:09] codebrainz: When I go to Ubuntu.com and click download on the 64-bit version I get the iso called "ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso" Is this the one I need? [01:09] so "server" knows it's server, "DD-WRT" knows "server" is "server", but no other computers connected to DD-WRT know "server" is "server". it has got to be an issue on the DD-WRT at this point, correct? [01:09] jteknet, http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso [01:09] HexLaTor, that's weird, because I'm connected but the tun interface on my ubuntu box doesn't appear. [01:09] codebrainz: Thanks! [01:09] jteknet: most likely [01:09] ty LjL [01:09] johnofwax: i would say.... can you ping any other workstations from ur windows boxes? [01:10] hey what version of ubuntu do you guys suggest for a macbook generation 3.1 ? [01:10] anthon@ubuntu:~$ tcpdump -v [01:10] tcpdump: no suitable device found [01:10] i get this error code [01:10] yes! they can see each other just fine (by hostname), [01:10] anthon: use sudo [01:10] pondera: how old is that? [01:10] and "server" can see all of them [01:10] cool [01:10] the only issue is in resolving server to it's IP address. [01:10] rolandpish, it'll appear on ur windows box, coz ur server 's on windows, ... [01:10] hey what version of ubuntu do you guys suggest for a macbook generation 3.1 ? [01:10] johnofwax: restart ur router? [01:10] pondera: and unless it is ancient then the newest [01:10] do you suggest windows for games [01:11] hehe. I've only done that 3 times before I decided maybe I should ask [01:11] oh [01:11] I've also added server/ip to the routers /etc/hosts file, also added it in the dnsmasq "additional options" area. [01:11] pondera: dont keep asking, people will answer if they know. and answer others questions to you. how many years old is that ... [01:11] Guest86978: unless you're prepared to use only Linux games, yes. [01:11] rolandpish, a new interface should appear right there (in network things...) [01:11] rolandpish, network section [01:11] !ot | Guest86978 [01:11] Guest86978: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:11] johnofwax: weird [01:12] tell me about it [01:12] HexLaTor, ok, I'll check the windows server right now... [01:12] rolandpish, some TAP win32 V8 adapter...don't remember.. [01:12] clcto sorry 2007 ish [01:12] and its not like I changed anything regarding my network connection. I had a little mishap with grub last night after deleting a few partitions, but I fixed that up relatively easily. Thought everything would be fine [01:13] pondera, use 10.04 version, should be fine (clcto it's a dual core with 4GB ram apparently)) [01:13] pondera: the newest one should be fine [01:13] 10.04 [01:13] HexLaTor, ok, I'll check it right away... [01:13] but my computer doesnt get turned off very often since its the media server of the house, and there were a few other things that went kind of hay-wire when i restarted yesterday. Hostname resolution being one of them [01:13] helo everyone [01:13] codebrainz dual core yes but its 1gb ram :( [01:13] pondera, still should be fine [01:13] johnofwax: i dunno what else to tell u bro.... strange one [01:14] I have to move my partition from sector 63 to 64, or 2048 or a multiple of 8.. how can I do that without loss my data on the partition? [01:14] rolandpish, try to use wireshark to make sure that ur packets are going trough the tunnel .. [01:14] pondera, there's also xubuntu, something to think about [01:14] clcto ok then im on the right tract. installing isight cam was a bitch tho [01:14] what is xubuntu ?

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [01:14] pondera: really? [01:14] ok man, np. just figured it was time to ask for help... hehe [01:14] its cool [01:15] ill reset my router to default as a last attempt [01:15] johnofwax: what firmware u running 24? [01:15] yes [01:15] ok [01:15] pondera, ubuntu but with XFCE installed instead of Gnome, and a few different apps, it's lighter on system resources [01:15] codebrainz: marginally [01:15] johnofwax: backup ur settings first [01:15] clcto ok ill look in to xubuntu im guessing its a "laptop" version [01:15] yeah [01:15] johnofwax: u can alway restore if it doesnt work [01:16] right [01:16] clcto, it's pretty light with just xfce4, i can't comment on xubuntu [01:16] pondera: not any more so than ubuntu. [01:16] should've done that w/ the pc [01:16] codebrainz thats sounds good light is better, i just want to be able to do the same things i can do with ubuntu [01:17] thanks again [01:17] after you install the base system you can get whichever *buntu system you want with one command [01:17] no prob [01:17] pondera, you should be ok with normal ubuntu. there are lots of ways to lighten them both up, but it takes some know-how (googling) [01:18] clcto what do u mean by base system ? [01:18] any *buntu system [01:19] clcto, i usually install "cli system" from the "alternate" cd and then apt-get xfce4 and xorg and some other useful stuff, but it can be more of a pain than using default ubuntu install [01:19] HexLaTor, ok I'll do some extra checking because the TAP Win32 adapter shows the icon like "cable-disconnected" but I'm connected to it. [01:20] oh so i could try xubuntu with out undoing wha ive done already ? [01:20] clcto, sorry, meant that for pondera [01:20] hi. i have been toying with Xen for a little bit (about 6 months) on Debian and CentOS. it is such a struggle to get it working on recent Ubuntu releases. from what i have read, KVM seems to be what the Linux community has embraced. i liked the paravirtualization feature in Xen, but if KVM is natively support by Lucid then i'll probably try moving to that. any comments on KVM support and/or paravirtualization? [01:20] pondera, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop i believe [01:20] ok ill try now [01:21] rolandpish, OK, good luck with that ;) [01:21] HexLaTor, thanks for your valuable help! [01:21] codebrainz: that is a good way to do it if you know what you are doing. i did that but then moved to arch :) [01:22] clcto, it's pretty minimal by default eh? [01:22] rolandpish, no problem mate [01:22] codebrainz: which? [01:22] codebrainz: the both are actually [01:22] arch [01:22] codebrainz: it is just awesome on so many levels :) [01:22] also one more question i install ubuntu first but i want to dualboot mac osx lepord, i burt a cd from my pc but when i try to boot it i just get a blinking cursor and it stayd like that for 2 hours [01:22] !ot | clcto [01:22] clcto, please see my private message [01:22] clcto, i may have to try it in a vm again to see, it's been a while [01:23] pondera, on an Apple computer?

I'm basically looking for a terminal services (from winblows) that's on Ubuntu [01:31] nx seems to be "terminal services" for ubuntu.

[01:33] Root logins only allow localhost logins by default [01:33] to the mysql db [01:33] it is root login [01:33] whats the package to play mpeg layer 1 / divx/xvid? [01:33] root is the only login [01:33] Razernok: You have to modify the config file to allow access from something other than localhost [01:33] It has nothing to do with accounts [01:33] When I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed, graphics corruption occured (ATI Radeon x1270), could I do this to fix it? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [01:34] Razernok: then it is set to allow only LOCALHOST logins you need to haxor it or make a new user and allow remote logins [01:34] ** 10.04 [01:34] WHOOPS.

[01:37] dunno what you mean [01:37] let's go again, I've bought a new hard drive (1.5 Western Digital Green Caviar) which is no 512 sector instead 2048, so in order to get performance partitions must be aligned to multiple of 8 regarding sectors, by default gparted created it in sector 63 as usual and old hard drives required. Now I have to move it to sector 64, or a multiple like 2048, I can't find such option in gparted to specify sectors but megabytes [01:37] I don't understand why when I'm trying to install Ubuntu the partitioning step is being stupid. It's not showing me any devices; however, if I go into disk utility, it shows the terrabyte hard drive just fine. If I'm going to have to manually partition this... I'm going to need help?!?! [01:38] how to let the lampp work [01:38] Razernok: haxor = Edit the root settings to allow root login via remote access. But that defeats the purpose of running a secure box [01:38] so what do I do?

[02:34] jrbaker8: Just press esc when the cd first boots [02:34] cba123: sudo du -sh / to see where the big files are [02:34] ok [02:35] All of the resolutions in startup-manager are 4:3 ... my display is 16:10 what can I do? [02:35] Whitor: startup manager? [02:35] iceroot: /* you mean right? [02:35] soreau, yeah [02:35] arand: that is checking everything, / is oonly checking the first folders [02:35] Whitor: I see no application by that name here [02:36] soreau, startupmanager [02:36] sorry [02:36] arand: so its running faster to use / and then on the bigest dir instead of the whole system [02:37] seems a little silly to assume everyone has a 4:3 display [02:37] a button or field to manually specify a resolution would be awesome [02:38] Whitor: Maybe ask in #grub? [02:38] good idea [02:38] Whitor: thats posibuility a liimitation of the bios/framebuffer [02:38] iceroot: No "du -sh /" Will give a grand total of / with no subdirs, sin'ce you're using -s [02:39] I tried it [02:39] but ndis still failed [02:39] Whitor: the comments in /etc/default/grub mention the grub-shell command `vbeinfo' to see what modes your system can handle [02:39] do you want to see part of the syslog file? [02:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/454753/ [02:40] Dr_Willis, my system can handle it [02:41] Dr_Willis, it did on Jaunty... [02:41] Whitor: you can always edit the /etc/default/grub/ by hand and set it to whatever you want [02:41] can anyone teach me to find a crash log? [02:41] Dr_Willis, I did that ... edited /etc/default/grub (which is where grub2 sits) [02:42] How do I set the nomodeset kernal option when I do not see grub boot on startup? === Gwar_ is now known as Gwar [02:42] jcapinc: on an installed system? You could set it as a option in /etc/default/grub or you could alter that file and tell it to Always show the grub menu. [02:42] iceroot: I ran apt-get clean && apt-get update , but things don't get back to normal ; I'm starting to supose that the problem might be bad repositories. Is that plausible to you ? [02:43] * Dr_Willis hates how the grub setup defaults to hiding the menu. [02:43] airtonix: are you still here? [02:43] Im using (K)ubuntu Lucid. My home directory (and all users) are getting mounted as read-only. I have a partition just for /home. Anyone know why it might be happening? [02:43] spotty: check dmesg output. If theres some sort of disk-error theres often an option set in fstab to remount it read only. [02:43] spotty: i had issues like that when a hd was going bad. [02:43] What would that command be? [02:44] roosh, yes [02:44] and I did check fstab. Both / and /home are mounted with error-remount-ro set [02:44] spotty: then i would bet that somewhere in dmesg - it mentions some errors on the hd. [02:44] so i tried it, but still no working. here is part of the syslog file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454753/ [02:44] and remounts it read-only [02:44] again, how do I get the output for dmesg? [02:45] I am going to enable pae in 10.04, do I need to disable restricted drivers first or is it going to be fine? [02:45] spotty: just type dmesg in a terminal [02:46] spotty: or look in /var/log [02:46] Well, it gave me all of this: http://pastebin.com/rTrdK6xt [02:46] spotty: 'dmesg' is a command. :) [02:47] spotty: normally if working ion a machine and it 'happens' to remount the HD on me. the info is near the end. [02:47] Ill say it once and Ill say it again. Holy crap! [02:47] spotty: or grep the dmesg output [02:47] dmesg | grep sda [02:47] or whatever the hd is [02:47] spotty: hmm, the first few lines definately indicate a problem - good call Dr. [02:47] No wonder Gnome is so slow (KDE wont even load) [02:48] I have to say that if my hard drive has problems, its disappointing since this is only a 6 month old computer. [02:48] soreau: when i checked the disk it says "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error [02:48] disc* [02:48] spotty: ive bought New hard drives with probmlems. [02:49] Dr_Willis: is there a chance that forcing fsck on boot will help? [02:49] spotty: i got a 1.5 TB at xmas that has a similer issue. it was my / that kept getting remounted ro.. THATY can really goof things up [02:49] greezmunkey: with HD's its hard to tell. I fsck mine.. it works for a few hrs.. then later it get an error and becomes RO. [02:49] Hmm... so what is the next thing I can try? [02:49] spotty: in short.. I would NOT trust that hard drive very much. I reccomend replaceing it. [02:49] and incidentally both my / and my /home are set to go read only upon error within /etc/fstab [02:50] Dr_Willis: using that logic, an immediate backup is called for [02:50] spotty: theres some tools that 'might' fix it. but HD's are the weakest link in a mondern pc i find. [02:50] greezmunkey: always backup :) [02:51] greezmunkey: my HD that was gouing bad WAS the backup.. :) but i had moved it to a differnet pc for use as / and /home then i discoverd it was having issues.. so now its just a 'video archive disk' for the wifes tv shows. [02:51] work time for me. Bye all [02:51] later [02:52] Well this is really unfortunate. Im an out of work web designer. No idea how Im gonna get a new hard drive. Cant earn money to buy said HD without this computer. Catch-22 and all because these hard drives are in such bad shape [02:52] cheap crap [02:52] hi [02:52] is there a way to get to C:\ [02:52] !hi [02:52] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:52] using ubuntu? [02:52] yep [02:53] spotty: that what friends are for, do you know anyone that may have a spare drive laying around? [02:53] !hi | explodingwalrus [02:53] explodingwalrus: please see above [02:53] how? or is there a documentation for it? [02:53] PwnerJohn: It should be a simple matter of clicking on the equivalent "disk" in nautilus [02:54] Hmm....not that I know of. Either way, I sure am going to lose out on this gig that I just got. Cant really get paid if I cant work on it. :/ [02:54] anyone here knowledgable on Epiphany browser [02:54] ? [02:54] PwnerJohn: nautilus being the File Browser [02:54] !anyone | explodingwalrus [02:54] explodingwalrus: 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? [02:55] how do you get epiphany to open all new links in a new tab rather than a new window, by default? [02:55] and my last hard drive that I owned went bad as well. In fact, its worse than the one in my computer right now I bet. That one has a huge gash down the side from the "needle" and the discs seperated. o.O [02:55] arand: okay, let me try that [02:57] I'm having issues with locally resolving my hostname on my 10.04 box. is there anyone here that may be able to help me figure this out ? [02:57] johnofwax: what command are you trying to test? [02:57] ping [02:57] from my other machines [02:57] nslookup wasnt working either [02:57] john try ping localhost, does that work? [02:57] nor was tracert (using a windows machine to connect to 10.04) [02:58] wait [02:58] do i need to install ubuntu [02:58] on? === jeff_ is now known as Guest92835 [02:58] or is it okay if [02:58] johnofwax: ok... [02:58] i keep it on the cd [02:58] !ping [02:58] pong [02:58] yeah, the 10.04 machine... A) Is online, resolves other hostnames fine. B) can see itself as its hostname C) Can see other computers on the network by hostname [02:58] johnofwax: do you have a dns server installed? [02:58] the other computers cannot see 10.04 (now known as server) by it's hostname [02:58] PwnerJohn: You should be able to access it just from the liveCD yes. [02:58] okay. [02:59] I'm using a DD-WRT router, and it's suppose to handle all of my dns stuff. [02:59] johnofwax: you will need to setup bind for that all to work, or manually edit /etc/hosts [02:59] this is a new development. everything was fine until a reboot yesterday [02:59] also how do i add irc.gnome.org to xchat? [02:59] i'm not that good with linux [02:59] arand: you have an idea where it might be located? [03:00] or a way to find out? [03:00] my /etc/hosts file has localhostIP (127.0.1.1) = localhost and also the hostname Im using. 2 lines [03:00] my /etc/hostname has the hostname its suppose to be responding as. [03:00] johnofwax: $ dig localhost ? [03:01] I thought my router was foobared, as no computer could see "server" as "server" I had to use the IP address to access shares. Now the router and "server" are the only ones that can access it by the hostname [03:01] nevermind, i found it [03:01] from the dig command, are we expecting the router's IP as the SERVER: response ? [03:01] johnofwax, i found that using static leases under services on dd-wrt seemed to make the things work much better for hostnames [03:01] johnofwax: localhost == 127.0.0.1 [03:02] 127.0.1.1 [03:02] gah [03:02] johnofwax: sometyhing like this SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) === Guest81105 is now known as [Pwner]John [03:02] where did I see that... 2 1's somewhere [03:02] Doh. my hosts file [03:02] lol [03:02] eww [03:02] host files are gross [03:02] 127.0.0.1 localhost [03:02] 127.0.1.1 server [03:02] cuz they are only for one machine [03:02] johnofwax: just use dig localhost [03:02] ok [03:03] seriously, set static leases in dd-wrt, it makes things work better imo [03:03] dig localhost gets an answer. [03:04] i can ping my machine with the hostname in there even after reformatting ubuntu and putting a different hostname in [03:04] 4gb ram, but pae enabled kernel still shows as 3.2gb. anyone know why? [03:04] johnofwax: paste just the ;;SERVER: [03:04] razz1, it will only show that much even with pae [03:04] you need 64bit to show more [03:04] ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) [03:04] ShrekLappy: yup, adding th estatic leases are a bit like adding an A record to a dns server... [03:04] ShrekLappy: No that's incorrect, PAE will show same amount as amd64 [03:05] razz1: enable pae in the bios also [03:05] johnofwax: so that its way, put 127.0.0.1 on top the other in your host and hostname :) [03:05] ShrekLappy: wrong, pae is for using more then 4gb with 32bit [03:05] correct, but as far as i know it wont show all that memory, even though it can 'use' it [03:06] razz1: Just to chack you're running the pae kernel you can look at "uname -a"... [03:06] ShrekLappy: its showing all memore but can only use 1.8gb per process [03:06] so /etc/hostname has the same syntax as /etc/hosts ? as it stands, hostname just contains the string "server" [03:06] shrek, I think you are wrong, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [03:06] 32bit limitations [03:06] gwibber is messed up, anyone know where the settings folder is? [03:06] iam using pae kernel [03:06] i could very well be razz1 [03:06] I will check the bios [03:06] reading up [03:06] johnofwax: no it's correct as it is [03:06] ok [03:06] johnofwax: in host put nameserver 127.0.0.1 [03:07] isnt the nameserver handled by /etc/resolv.conf ? === usuario-master is now known as acido [03:07] johnofwax: yes [03:07] johnofwax: you have to install bing9 after this though and setup caching dns server [03:07] I dont have an issue resolving hostnames from this computer, it's others seeing the computer as "server" that's the issue. [03:08] 2.6.32-22-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 23:14:23 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [03:08] thas waht i am running [03:08] johnofwax: you need bind9 to do that [03:08] question running windows under ubuntu as virtual is the best choice or not? [03:08] up until this point, the DD-WRT has been handling all DNS / nameserver queries just fine. I'm not sure what caused the mishap. [03:08] johnofwax: here's an example hosts file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454763/ [03:08] I'd like to stick with using the router as you know.. a router. as this ubuntu machine is just a workstation [03:08] it's not really ment to have dns / nameserver services running on it at this point. [03:09] yeah [03:09] johnofwax: this is a guide to do that http://www.zaphu.com/2007/09/10/ubuntu-dns-server-guide-bind-caching-name-server-setup/ [03:09] hey guys, do any of you have experience with squid? [03:09] question running windows under ubuntu as virtual is the best choice or not? [03:09] but the hosts file, as mentioned above; is for a single sided lookup, correct ? [03:09] gwibber is messed up, anyone know where the settings folder is so i can wipe it out and start over? [03:09] wise_crypt: but I don't wanna do that. :P [03:09] I just want my Win7 workstation to see my ubuntu workstation as "server" and not 192.168.1.138 [03:09] Spoiling Toy Story 3 if I'm not interrupted in... [03:09] 5 [03:09] 4 [03:09] 3 [03:09] 2 [03:09] 1 [03:09] WOODY DIES IN A WOODCHIPPER [03:09] interrupt [03:10] it's just a media server [03:10] razz1: Well I did write a main bit of that wiki page, so I wouldn't trust it blindly since I might very well be wrong, I do not think so, though, obviously ;) [03:10] okay guys, how do i completely remove the "X-Forwarded-For" header from being sent in squid? [03:11] !ot | Adem [03:11] Adem: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:11] Adem: that will be quite enough of that [03:11] IdleOne, is it best to run windows within ubuntu? [03:11] as it stands... get this. on windows workstation: ping server gives me a could not find host error [03:11] arand, I don't have any entry in my bios for pae, but Iknow that the MB supports up to 4096 [03:12] HOWEVER... nslookup server gives me the address to the workstation as expected. [03:12] guys i need help. my volume applet isn't looking like it used to. i got a squared dark button instead of the rounded light one. this is probably due to gnome color chooser imho. how can i change it back to its default? http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6155/selection004.png [03:12] How do i create a "high anonymity" proxy configuration in help [03:13] razz1: Hmm, well then I don't know what could be the issue, back when I did it I just installed the kernel, and up came my 3.7G of ram or thereabouts.. [03:13] johnofwax: can help you more if you dont wish to install bind, my assumption is tou router is using dynamic dns and you have to start back to the step you did yesterday [03:13] Hi! I need help with ubuntu version I need install on my Dell Latitude e6510 - core i7 720QM CPU, 4GB Nvidia 3100NVS [03:13] arand, it was 3.2 before and after [03:13] johnofwax: dnsmasq may be of use.. it is a bit less complicated than bind9 [03:14] the router is using dnsmasq [03:14] johnofwax, just try making a static lease in dd-wrt it will be much easier [03:14] i'm asking if it is a good idea to run windows os in ubuntu [03:14] and you wont have to screw with machines any time you add one or want to change anything, its all in one place [03:14] hihi.. im booted to ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix cd, is there a way to start a text installer from command line ? [03:14] razz1: Yes, there *should* be some kind of change, I reckon, no idea why not, though, sorry. [03:14] johnofwax: you may want to ask in ##networking they might be able to give some exact solutions [03:15] any help is appreciated [03:15] could anybody take a look at my fdisk output and tell me, if the differences in physical/logical are important: http://pastebin.com/Fgnce9Qx [03:15] excellent. Thanks for all your help guys. I appreciate it. I'll try a few different suggestions as mentioned in here and see how it goes. [03:15] !details | ravibn [03:15] ravibn: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:15] arand, http://larmeir.com/2009/07/enabling-pae-on-a-32-bit-ubuntu-desktop-supporting-up-to-64-gb/ look at this, u think it will help, I have never done a kernel compile [03:16] johnofwax: well, dnsmasq is just a cache for dns' resolved from somewhere else. bind9 actually does the resolving.. maybe unbound could be solution as well. [03:16] arrand : I tried 64bit desktop version it does not even boot [03:16] Can some one tell me why songbird won't install from getdeb? [03:16] arand : use kernelcheck to compile anew kernel [03:16] thewolf: songbird is dead.. all linux development has come to an end === TannerF-afk is now known as TannerF [03:17] arand: I tried arch latest distro and it works fine on this machine bcos it supports i686 [03:17] arand : http://kcheck.sourceforge.net/ [03:17] I don't believe I had bind previously running on here (or any other machines), although I could be mistaken... I simply want to be able to access my samba shares and web server by name again. :\ [03:17] bastidrazor: why would they do that? I only unistalled it because I needed to reinstall it [03:17] arand : does ubuntu server supports the i686 ? [03:17] !hey Sakura [03:17] wise_crypt > razz1 [03:18] arand : my bad [03:18] I did a fresh install of 10.04 from a new disc last night (on a new partition), and it does the same thing. it almost seems like an update broke my network [03:18] does anyone use "Giver"? am i able to share files with people on a windows? [03:18] arand: I mean supports i686 cpu with Dell Latitude e6510 - core i7 720QM CPU, 4GB Nvidia 3100NVS [03:18] hihi.. im booted to ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix cd, is there a way to start a text installer from command line ? === Freeaiqngme is now known as Freeaqingme [03:19] thewolf: read the links on this page: http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/remove-songbird2 they will explain it [03:19] wise_crypt, thanks [03:19] johnofwax, the reason to flash dd-wrt is to make it help your network be better, i seriously have not had any issues with hostnames since i set it up that way, and i used to have all sorts of issues like you are having. working sometimes, other times no, then it just stopped working altogether. works great when you let dd-wrt handle it [03:19] arand: I looked at the certified hw list on ubuntu.com and this latitude is not listed [03:20] exactly! I haven't had any issues either, and have been using DD-WRT for almost a year. "it just works". [03:20] any1 who knows how to get this button back to its standard appearance? http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6155/selection004.png [03:20] johnofwax: shares by name is more a function of netbios (over tcp/ip), where straight IP to name resolution requires each machine to be able to look it up. Choice 1, a local nameserver. Choice 2, manually edit the hosts file on each machine to reflect the names and *static* ip addresses of every other machine. [03:20] ravibn: The best way to find out is really to test it. [03:20] I'm going to heed your suggestion and use static leasing [03:20] in desktop to use a server kernel just type sudo apt-get install linux-image-server and do update your grub using sudo update-grub that simple and after use tasksel to install common app for server [03:20] greez: the DD-WRT was suppose to handle that conversion. [03:21] arand : thats what I am trying to do please help me understand abt this server 64 bit version [03:21] the weirdest thing is though... starting about an hour ago (when I reset my DD-WRT), nslookup from a remote machine starting working (where it wasnt before..) [03:21] although ping does not [03:21] arand : like does it support the i686 cpu ? [03:21] can someone give me a hand with a command to add a directory and a bunch of subdirectories in all user's home directories? [03:21] !troll > johnofwax [03:21] johnofwax, please see my private message [03:21] !patience | johnofwax [03:21] johnofwax: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:22] ravibn: if you want 32bit server you'd get the "i386" version. [03:22] johnofwax: I can't verify that, as my ddwrt box is out in my work truck, but if it will allow you to create dhcp reservations, and associate a machine name with, then you will be good to go. [03:22] thats what I was thinking too. [03:22] would the hosts file on the dd-wrt do the same thing ? [03:23] or would it not relay that information to a requesting machine ? [03:23] arand : please be sure on what you trying to answer ? I am clearly explaining that this machine is an i686 cpu [03:23] johnofwax: if there is one, then that is how it make it work :) [03:23] arand : why are u pointing me to the i386 [03:23] ok. I had tried that earlier, but I'll attempt a few variations of it. maybe put it in the dd-wrt scripts or something. [03:24] Anyone here using Intel core i5 and Radeon graphics ? [03:24] johnofwax: read the ddwrt docs, that will tell you what to do. [03:24] arand : do you belong to this ubuntu forum to answere all the prof Q ? [03:24] thanks for all your help. I've got a few more things to try now [03:24] ravibn: I'm a happy user like everyone else. [03:25] arand : you are an Idiot [03:25] hello, I'm using an old IBM without a super button, should I bund all super-using hotkeys to something else? or is there a way to emulate that? (like right + left mouse = middle mouse click) [03:25] bind* [03:26] i'm having trouble to switch from intel graphics to Radeon graphics. any tips ? [03:26] ravibn: if you already know the answer then why pick on arand? [03:26] greezemunkey : I am asking relevant q and he is misguiding me [03:27] is there a way to start a text installer from command line on a 10.04 netbook remix cd OR a way to reconfigure X while booted to the live cd so i can continue with normal installer ? [03:27] greezemunkey : I will apoloize if I am wrong [03:27] i got one for you guys.... http://www.pastie.org/1018197 <--- line 20 suggest a possible work around. when the command is issued i get "make: illegal option -- -" [03:27] ravibn: Well don't be rude please [03:27] not really a ubuntu question....its on a bsd box :) [03:28] ravibn: thats not a good netetiquet you'r preforming mate [03:28] I'm using an old IBM without a super button, should I bind all super-using hotkeys to something else? or is there a way to emulate that? (like right + left mouse = middle mouse click) [03:28] zkriesse : I am sorry abt that but I am trying to get something answered from several weeks and I am not getting nowwhere [03:29] ravibn: been there :) [03:29] ravibn: I understand that i can be frustrating....but please remember. This is a volunteer effort...try to be nice to us! :D [03:29] ravibn: the question you need to resolve is whether or not your mobo is truely 64bit, me thinks. If so, then you can certainly give the 64bit sw a shot. [03:29] Hey guys can anyone help me i cant boot ubuntu [03:29] Joshmuffin: Ok [03:30] Joshmuffin: PC Specs and Ubuntu Version please [03:30] greezemunkey : it is a 64 bit bcos i have win7 64bit on this machine already [03:30] 1TB hdd [03:30] 4gib ram [03:30] Joshmuffin, any relevant error message(s)? [03:30] intel i3 processor [03:30] or i guess a better question is what does it do/not do, how far do you get into a boot?

[03:43] thanks [03:43] wise_crypt, I do know what I'm doing with backtrack, just not grub2 [03:43] ravibn: If you want the GUI, then either get the desktop CD and install whatever server packages you need, or get the server and install ubuntu-desktop on top of it, I guess...

[03:50] How would it be possible that going to the same URL from two different computers on the same network, would give me a 404 error for one of the computers, and not for the other. This happens regardless of which network they are on. [03:50] It basically works from every computer with the exception of the one that is receiving the 404 error. [03:50] wise_crypt, sda1 - 10.04, sda2 - 10.10 [03:50] (and this has been happening for weeks, and browser cache flushing, etc. doesn't fix it) [03:50] Will someone please look at the VGA section of the output of lspci -vv (http://pastebin.com/1uYNGihq) and tell me if something looks off? [03:51] Joshmuffin: sudo update-grub see if the uuid match with blkid output [03:51] wise_crypt, sda3 - backtrack [03:51] (and it's not just firefox -- it also happens with wget, etc.) [03:52] wise_crypt, seems to [03:52] Joshmuffin: seems or they are ?

[03:55] wise_crypt, narr..i could download and make a USB [03:55] Joshmuffin: ok [03:55] hola [03:55] wise_crypt, or i could add ppa and install in backtrack?

[03:59] Joshmuffin: nope. The only supported upgrade path from 8.10 to 10.04 is through 9.04 and 9.10. [03:59] Joshmuffin: its not wise to upgade backtrack trust me on this [03:59] i just started... [04:00] Joshmuffin: the other option is to fresh install if you have a separate /home partition [04:00] im running xubuntu-desktop on it aswell [04:00] scunizi, no and im not reinstalling over bad grub syntax [04:01] I have problems with Beagle, its not indexing files [04:02] Will someone please look at the VGA section of the output of lspci -vv (http://pastebin.com/1uYNGihq) and tell me if something looks off?

[04:48] OEP, Come back if its not help [04:48] :) [04:48] codebrainz_, AH, good, I got it created...now for mounting. :) [04:48] Leif, once that is done you have a blank image, then do mkfs -t yourfstype yourimage.img [04:49] NetRoY, there is a command to do it all on one line ... I had it on another system in the past (but I don't have that cmd scrollback here) [04:49] Leif, to format it, once it's formatted, then do; sudo mount -o loop yourimage.img /some/folder [04:49] is there a man for assembly status calls [04:50] Leif, then just do, cp -R /the/dir/to/copy /some/folder [04:50] rollman: assembly status calls? [04:50] yeah [04:50] codebrainz_, Okay, thanks. (I'm still looking for the right keyword for the fstype at the moment though) [04:51] rollman: what exactly is that? [04:51] Leif, prolly ext2 === STiK is now known as BlackHemorrhoid === master is now known as skullbox [04:51] codebrainz_, Hmm..I was thinking fat as it's android, but okay, thanks [04:51] assembly language status calls or numbers to what they represent [04:51] Leif, yeah, whatever you need, i think it's 'vfat' [04:51] sup you bun too [04:52] rollman: what status calls exactly? [04:52] rollman, are you talking about IOCTLs or something? [04:52] hello everyone. [04:52] like movl $1, %eax is a status call to exit [04:52] rollman: you mean system calls [04:53] yes [04:53] codebrainz_, Ah, okay, that works, thanks. Now when I try to mount it, it complains about the mount point not existing. [04:53] Whitor: most UI+console programs look for env DISPLAY [04:53] does anyone know how to activate a 3 monitor setup with 2 Nvidia 8800 cards? i have 2 working with twinview but i cant figure out the 3rd [04:53] codebrainz_, So should I put it in an already existing folder? [04:53] anyone know how I can get cinelerra for ubuntu? [04:53] rollman, http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/ [04:53] i want have only single panel on my desktop [04:53] codebrainz_: syscalls are OS specific [04:53] codebrainz_, sudo mount -o loop system.img /media/and [04:53] k thx i check it out [04:53] arunkumar413, simply right click the panel you dont want and select "remove panel" [04:53] !cinelerra > haywirepc [04:53] haywirepc, please see my private message [04:54] Leif, yes, make sure the mount point dir exists before mounting [04:54] Whitor you can either unset DISPLAY or prefix DISPLAY=: in you are command [04:54] NetRoY, that might work [04:54] SlidingHorn: but where will the minimised windows go [04:54] tsimpson, i'm not sure exactly what he means to be honest [04:54] NetRoY, how can I unset that in a terminal ? [04:54] Whitor: shud work for most apps [04:54] rollman: generally, you should use the C library calls to save you the trouble. or just look at /usr/include/asm/unistd_32.h (for 32bit) [04:55] SlidingHorn: i want to remove the the panel which contains the minimised windows [04:55] arunkumar413, you can add the "window list" applet to the remaining panel by right clicking it and selecting "add to panel" and finding the window list app [04:55] codebrainz_: it's a very, very low level interface to the kernel [04:55] Whitor: "unset DISPLAY; vlc" or "DISPLAY=: VLC" ... go for second one though [04:55] NetRoY, that did it ! unset DISPLAY; [04:56] SlidingHorn: ok,thanks [04:56] how do i install vista inside ubuntu? [04:56] gbillings, you dont [04:56] gbillings, you can't...you can dual boot though [04:56] what about a VM? possible? [04:56] tsimpson, this i know. I wasn't sure if he meant syscalls or general ASM opcodes or what. [04:56] NetRoY, then #~vlc mediafile.mpg .... plays in ascii in a terminal window in X nice ! === BlackHemorrhoid is now known as STiK [04:57] SlidingHorn: also want a single menu. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [04:57] NetRoY, thanks [04:57] Whitor: lol .. but don't use unset if you would reuse the terminal for any ui apps next... or just open a new tab :) [04:57] cheers [04:57] codebrainz_: well putting 1 into %eax to make the program exit it Linux kernel specific, so I got what he meant === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [04:58] arunkumar413, right click the current menu bar (with the 3 different submenus) and select "remove from panel" then right click the panel, "add to panel" and select "Main Menu" [04:58] how do i delete a theme i installed? its in the themes list but no option that i see of to uninstall it [04:58] Is installing Windows Vista inside VirtualBox a realistic goal or is it basicly impossible? I have 2gb of ram and 250GB HD running Ubuntu 10.04. [04:58] gbillings, sounds good [04:59] gbillings: sounds like ram might be low, vista really needs 2 gig to run properly. [04:59] gbillings: it's possible sure, just don't expect blazing performance [04:59] will my system be slow and laggy? or would it be better to go with XP? [04:59] arunkumar413, once you get all the applets you want, you can right click them, select "move" to place them where you want them, and, if you wish, right click again and select "lock to panel" so you can't move them (until you "unlock" them) [04:59] gbillings: xp would be better [04:59] can someone recommend a good xml editor for ubuntu? [04:59] ok gottit will do that tonite thanks everyone! [04:59] besides eclipse...which im downloading and its taking forever [04:59] !best | shrek [04:59] shrek: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:59] codebrainz_, Great, so now how can I unmount it when I'm done? [05:00] Leif, sudo umount /the/mount/point [05:00] good != best [05:00] ubuntu rocks but no games [05:00] ShrekLappy: I use kate, but gedit would also do. they aren't specific XML editors, but they do have syntax highlighting and code-folding (at lease kate does) [05:01] codebrainz_, Ah, thanks, I was looking for an unmount command. ;) [05:01] SlidingHorn: there are three menus to the left:applications,places and system. instead of three i want a single menu to do the things,i that i can save some space on the panel [05:01] ShrekLappy, you can use any text editor...I believe gedit has a plugin for syntax highliting [05:01] Hi, does anyone know where to get libopensync 1.0 for Lucid? [05:01] csp, synaptic [05:01] next! [05:01] Guest23742: Wait for steam client.. you'll have all games you want [05:02] weird, the xml files i open are all garbage chars (using gedit), so i figured i needed a different editor [05:02] arunkumar413, that's what the last thing was telling you about was for...the 3 menu applet is called "menu bar" whereas the single button menu is called "main menu" rt click "menu bar" > Remove from panel. rt click panel > add to panel > select Main Menu [05:02] Guest23742: the repository only has the older version, which segfault badly [05:03] I recently updated my system, and now msynctool just crashed because of libopensync0 [05:03] I'm trying to run playonlinux (which allows running programs thru wine), which I've done fine in the past. I moved the install to a separate computer, which has integrated intel graphics instead of nvidia. Now, however, I cannot use playonlinux, as it tries to load "NV-GLX", which isn't in use since there isn't a nvidia card. [05:03] (GLX is installed, though) [05:03] I'm looking to see if anyone has a ppa for the opensync [05:03] SlidingHorn: ok,done [05:03] hi [05:04] any opensync developer here??? [05:04] csp: search on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [05:05] thanks, I'm taking a look [05:06] helpbuntu? just let me know [05:07] SlidingHorn: i cant set windows button as short cut to activate the main menu.i'm using 10.4 [05:07] arunkumar413, I'm not sure what you mean? [05:07] oh... [05:08] arunkumar413, I got you...hold on one sec I'll see if I can figure it out [05:08] SlidingHorn: k [05:09] tsimpson: there doesn't seem to have anything newer there [05:09] csp: then you'll have to compile it yourself if you want it [05:10] tsimpson: I'd love to, but there are too many dependencies... :( [05:10] OK, here's what I can say. MOSTLY the sound works. Music on average plays OK, unless I seek to a different position to a song then it has a likelihood of getting crackly. If I close out mid-song, it will sometimes freeze up on this one sound. [05:10] but will probably have to do it somehow, if I want to use that stupid sync tool, and it's the only option available... [05:10] I've been playing around on ZSNES, and I've found that different sampling frequencies work better than others... that's about it really. [05:11] thanks for the help. I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone who has helped me make the full transition to linux. This channel has been a big help in the last few days, and I am sure it will continue to do so. I hope to be able to do the same for others as well. Thanks again.. [05:12] Joshua_Roberts, no prob need helpbuntu just let us know [05:13] algun latino en el chat [05:13] emilio_: #ubuntu-es ?

[05:46] joker: it's an archive, extract then look what to do with it, there may be a README file [05:46] joker: in your terminal, use the 'cd' command (without quotes) to move to the folder that contains the tar.gz archive (kinda like a zip file in windows) and then run the command [05:46] darren__, ahh sorry thought you where trying some web based webcam. have you tried amsn? [05:47] joker: actually if you double click the file, it should offer to extract it with archivemanager [05:47] daddy: so what did you do to configure yours, I'm under the assumption you are using this? [05:47] SlidingHorn, it does but I'm not quite sure what to do with the extracted files, lol [05:47] joker: from there, VCoolio is correct...there should be a README file that will have further instructions [05:47] darren__, also you can't do the 2 way video/voice connections in linux as far as i know [05:47] ZyloticK9 yes i cant connect to anyone and no one can connect to me in amsn..and linux wont find my webcam either === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [05:48] not at my house but I got everything running at my job site [05:49] joker, for installing .tar.gz check out the checkinstall wrapper to create a DEB then package management is aware of it!

[05:53] *daddy [05:54] daddy: heavy desktop server [05:54] I need all the info I can get because when i use it on the PC and the nvidia drivers I only get 640x480 resolution. I was told the problem was EDID wasn't found. [05:54] Danbuntu1, you should look into generating an xorg file for your setup [05:55] How do I do that? [05:55] !res | Danbuntu1 [05:55] Danbuntu1: 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 [05:55] Danbuntu1, if you are using proprietary nvidia just use the command "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [05:55] Right now I am re-installing without the monitor on my kvm. (Keyboard/Video/Mouse switch) [05:55] Danbuntu1: synergy ;) [05:55] * thoriumchameleon decides to find a checksum and burn a new disc -.- [05:56] I tried the nvidia settings and max res is 640x480. [05:56] Windows max res is 2048x1536 [05:56] Danbuntu1, once you've got an xorg file run nvidia setting with "gksu nvidia-settings" then save the settings you need to the xorg (there is a button) [05:56] I type devanagari using ibus. in all aps it works great, except open office. there sometimes wrong words, or overwriting words or clashes etc. how to solve this? [05:56] nautilus stalls in folders with many files (Music), for almost 30 seconds. any way to improve nautilus performance? (gnome commander and ls are much much faster) === kc-net is now known as olive_21 [05:56] When it re-installs and if I still have a problem I will get back on. [05:56] So I'm running into an issue here... I thought I set my root pass but I didn't how do I do that? [05:57] Danbuntu1, ok so it's more a monitor issue then [05:57] Yes === Guest52693 is now known as di_giorgio [05:57] do I need ti install some special devanagari fonts for open office? [05:57] Might be the KVM as well. [05:57] Danawar, LOL kvm! [05:57] joker: you need to restart into single user mode(selected from boot in the grub menu) or alternately using sudo [05:57] I am re-installing Ubuntu without monitor on the KVM to see if that works. [05:57] SlidingHorn: i have some issue with chrome that's very irritating [05:57] If I do "command &" how do I stop the output? [05:57] I'd like to know if it possible to access files in windows from Ubuntu in a dual boot machine [05:58] joker: if you can do **from terminal** sudo su - ; passwd [05:58] Yes LittleWolf [05:58] I do it. [05:58] LittleWolf: yes, most linux distributions can read NTFS and FAT32 [05:58] arunkumar413, well here's not really the best place to ask, but you've been polite all night...I'll take a shot...what's the issue? [05:58] Has anyone managed to get koffice 2.2 installed on lucid? [05:59] !anyone [05:59] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:59] not kubuntu, just Ubuntu [05:59] tyler_d2 thanks :) [05:59] joker: np [05:59] On myXP machine I am running Mint 9 as well as XP and Mint sees XP, just not reversed. [05:59] SlidingHorn: this is the erorr i'm getting frequently when i try to sign in to google accounts using chrome browser in 10.4 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UEs98qGd [05:59] If I do "command &" how do I stop the output? [06:00] SlidingHorn: that doesn't apply. I really do want to know if "anyone" has managed to do it. I'll rephraise it. [06:00] Danbuntu1, you can try something like ext2ifs [06:00] Is it possible to install koffice 2.2 on lucid, and if so, who has manged this? [06:01] tyler_d2: ok I was getting lost there, on my network whoever is the administrator should be able to decide what the users of the network are able to access depending on the software. In the program I use If everything is function properly on the server hardware then the people connected to the network are able to access the internet. If there is somebody who the administrator has not approved of then errors will appear [06:01] SlidingHorn, ext2fs only works on Ext2 and 3 partitions and not on Ext4. [06:01] Ubuntu 10.04 writes on the virtual console 1: "T43 login: mountall: Disconnect from Plymouth." Does this message mean that the program Plymouth has not been executed at all? [06:01] th, could you rephrase? the & put the program into the background, do you want to kill that program? [06:02] th, press ctrl and c to stop a command [06:02] ZykoticK9 Joshmuffin I dont want to kill it [06:02] Could someone explain to me/direct me/help me out making windows files accessible from Ubuntu? The last time I tried to do it, it made my ubuntu freeze and I had to reinstall it. [06:02] daddy: that makes no relevant sense to my situation unfortunately. The issue is not in the administration, it is in the configuration of the ics through the wifi [06:02] !enter > bullgard [06:02] bullgard, please see my private message [06:02] !paste > bullgard [06:02] arunkumar413, give this a read and let me know if it works: http://roezer.com/LostBlog/error-neterr_ssl_protocol_error/ [06:03] doyle: try http://techie-buzz.com/foss/install-koffice-2-2-in-kubuntu-10-04.html [06:03] If you load up Nautilus you should see the Windows partition mention. Something like 500GB filesystem [06:03] ZykoticK9, Joshmuffin, just want to stop output. it keeps printing to that terminal until the program is killed. sry for my english [06:03] Joshmuffin, I only saw him post one line...........? [06:03] Depending on the size of the partition LittleWolf [06:03] Hard Drive I meant [06:03] th, not sure man, i'd just open a new terminal ;) [06:03] Joshmuffin: Are you new in operating ubottu? [06:04] th: next time start command with this behind it: >/dev/null 2>&1 & [06:04] VCoolio, hmm whats that? [06:04] @doyle: its in backports, essentially [06:04] This is the first time I try Linux. Ever. I just installed it yesterday and I already managed to break it quite a few times. [06:04] bullgard, SlidingHorn sorry that was my bad, my screen glitched and it looked like he had sent the same line of code multiple times when infact it was someone else and they had only sent it once [06:05] anjilslaire: I've enabled backports, but I only see 2.1.2 [06:05] th: it puts error and normal output to /dev/null, which is nothing [06:05] th, VCoolio command is good! it redirects to dev/null the linux blackhole [06:05] LIttleWolf are you running via Wubi install or partitioned install? [06:05] I know that windows has a 9.4 GB partition, Ubuntu got a 17 GB one, and 240GB are files and crap. [06:05] tyler_d2: ok what ics client are you using? [06:05] Wubi. [06:05] ZykoticK9, VCoolio thank you! thats it! [06:05] LittleWolf: Welcome to Ubuntu! Enjoy! [06:05] daddy: network manager [06:05] Thanks, it's been a headache, but I'm liking it so far. [06:06] I second that motion bullgard. [06:06] Yes it can be, [06:06] LittleWolf, That's half the fun of Linux systems: breaking it and learning how to fix it (at least if you're a geek like me) :) [06:06] tyler_d2: have you installed samba? [06:06] what line do I need to add to my thunderbird apparmour file to allow it to launch links in firefox? [06:06] LittleWolf, the windows partition should be accessible via the "places" menu [06:06] daddy: samba is windows filesharing, so no, I have not installed samba [06:06] It isn't, as so far as I can see. [06:06] I have been around Linux for many years and still get headaches now and then from it, but it is a great OS. [06:06] It just says it is unreadable. [06:06] anjilslaire: I enabled the backports and updated apt-get. When I viewthe koffice package in the package manager it shows 2.1.2. If I use 'sudo apt-get install koffice' will that give me a different version thatn what is presented in the package manager? [06:07] LIttleWolf, at the top click on the Places, then Home Folder. [06:07] New Window appears. Do you see a mention of 9.4GB Filesystem? [06:07] tyler_d2: ok what are you trying to do? What are you trying to share, or get? [06:07] @doyle: looking [06:07] doyle: should be the same; check with apt-cache policy koffice [06:08] Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Videos, Examples and a bunch of hidden files. [06:08] LittleWolf, if you are using Wubi accessing the host drive is handled differently then "normal" (sorry can't tell you the answer though) [06:08] tyler_d2: if possible be general with your answer [06:08] crap [06:08] Is partitioning really hard? [06:08] daddy: I have 1 desktop server with a wired, and a wireless card. I access the internet on this machine through the wired card(eth0). I would like to share that internet connection with a laptop via wireless. [06:09] One moment. It works fine for me. Let me reboot my XP to Mint and see how its done there, [06:09] I tried it, but I chickened out halfway and opted for Wubi. [06:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791805#3 -- I was just wondering if this answer is safe to use [06:09] LittleWolf, it is quite simple once you understand it [06:09] I have the same problem and want to fix it, just making sure running that would be fine. [06:09] That would be an obstacle for me. [06:09] LittleWolf, Dual booting is by far a superior option [06:09] VCoolio: yep, same. 2.1.2. [06:09] Better than wubi? [06:09] LittleWolf, Yeh [06:09] LittleWolf, much better [06:09] But I just got a sweet looking Desktop cube! Don't tell me I have to redo it all! [06:10] !partitioning > LittleWolf [06:10] LittleWolf, please see my private message [06:10] is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? [06:10] LittleWolf, you can backup compiz configuration [06:10] LittleWolf, i think it is possible to migrate wubi to native install! don't ask me how. [06:10] tyler_d2: can't help you here, sorry to waste your time. [06:10] Anyone? Is running this "sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root/.themes" safe? And would it work for moving your making sudo'd applications have the right theme? [06:11] LittleWolf, it's a bit intimidating, but it's a better option....and yes, you would have to reconfigure any custom settings you've enabled. I think there's a way to migrate a wubi install, but not sure [06:11] LittleWolf: export your compiz settings, there is a button for it in the compiz manager; then partition, install ubuntu, import the file and done with the cube [06:11] doyle: synaptic shows 2.2 for me [06:11] I have 1 desktop server with a wired, and a wireless card. I access the internet on this machine through the wired card(eth0). I would like to share that internet connection with a laptop via wireless. [06:11] Really? I've been googling my linux questions so far, but people warned me not to do things without being sure they wouldn't harm my machine. [06:11] anjilslaire: You're in 10.04? [06:11] On my other system the partition is listed under Floppy Drive. [06:11] shouldn't even matter [06:11] I just upgraded my hp mini 311 to 10.04 and now my wireless and wired internet does not work. I suspect I need to install the Broadcom driver, but how do I do that with no internet access? [06:11] Ubuntu 10.04 writes on the virtual console 1: "T43 login: mountall: Disconnect from Plymouth." Does this message mean that the program Plymouth has not been executed at all? [06:12] Desktop, File System Network, Audio Disc, Floppy Drive 500GB filesystem [06:12] is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? [06:12] Samual, In my opinion, you're taking an unnecessary risk....why do you want to link to the /root/.themes? [06:12] doyle: yes [06:12] SlidingHorn, so that applications like synaptic can use my theme [06:12] I need to uninstall Wubi/Ubuntu before I partition, right? [06:12] Samual, as far as I know, they should anyway.... [06:13] LittleWolf, Yeas, recomended [06:13] SlidingHorn, no, if you install a theme it is for the user [06:13] SlidingHorn, and sudo doesn't use it [06:14] Samual, what kind of theme are you talking about? I'm a bit confused.... [06:14] Samual: that won't work; just create a file /root/gtkrc-2.0 in which you specify what theme root apps should use; those themes should be in /usr/share/themes [06:14] LittleWolf, Once you find your windows hdd from wubi i suggest comping home folder onto windows and then restoring certain configurations from the copied home folder [06:14] oh...apparently I was alone in my confusion...never mind me Samual :) [06:14] I suggest copying** [06:14] LittleWolf, Joshmuffin +1 [06:14] doyle: I'd install & see, but I dont want to clutter up my netbook I'm on atm [06:14] I'm wondering about bluray playback in Lucid Lynx is it true at this stage only specific drives work after firmware flashes or has the situation improved? Thanks [06:15] VCoolio, Ah [06:15] is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? [06:15] Samual, for future reference, any time you're using an app with a GUI, you should use gksu instead of sudo [06:15] Samual: put lines like this in that file: gtk-theme-name="Dust" gtk-icon-theme-name="Human" [06:15] SlidingHorn, already know that ^_^ [06:15] it would be 359mb of crap to add, then * purge [06:15] Copy home folder onto windows? [06:15] k :) [06:15] So WIndows can't access Ubuntu? [06:15] VCoolio, precisely where should the file go again? [06:16] Samual: /root/.gtkrc-2.0 [06:16] VCoolio, and don't worry, I know how to make the file. [06:16] Sorry for the newb questions :X [06:16] I'm more of a baker than a geek. [06:16] somethinginteres, good luck man :) not many people ask about bluray in this channel. i'd check out the status of mplayer support. [06:16] I thought /root/ was just / though? [06:16] From where can one access Upstream bug reports ???? [06:16] LittleWolf, good...send us cookies! :-P [06:17] anjilslaire: There shouldn't be any restarts required for synaptic to update version information right? I've never noticed versions missing in the past. [06:17] Samual: no, in this case you're going to set 'user settings' for root [06:17] LittleWolf, Windows can access Ubuntu with some configuration but visa versa would be much easier [06:17] Last time I sent baked goods over the mail, UPS took too long and they arrived with sentient mold on them. [06:17] anjilslaire: Could the repository configuration have anythign to do with this? [06:17] LittleWolf: Recipies are good, no sence in reinventing the wheel if you don't have too :) [06:17] samual: /root is the home dir for root [06:17] arunkumar413, how did things turn out for you? didn't hear back after the chrome issue [06:17] Well I can't cd into /root/ (even with sudo), it says command not found when done with sudo and it says permission denied otherwise [06:18] doyle: no reboot. repo, maybe [06:18] LittleWolf: there is an app for windows that can access ext3 (and recently also ext4 I think), but it will ask to format the new disks, so take care with those [06:18] SlidingHorn: no,there is no use ssl2.0 raido button in the under the hood options [06:18] Samual, i think you have sudo su for that [06:18] Samual: cd is not a binary [06:18] Samual: cd is a command of a bash [06:18] hmmm...hold on I'll check mine (i use chromium, so mine might be different) [06:18] That's a little too advanced for me. It took me 4 hours to figure out how to get that sweet desktop cube working. [06:18] Samual: you should use sudo bash [06:18] Totally worth it. [06:18] Samual: sudo -i then just cd and touch file [06:19] xray_tsk, ahhhh right. [06:19] Samual: and then cd to everywhere you want [06:19] doyle: I use a repo in Oregon, since its fast &closer than the US [06:19] ZykoticK9: Roger :) [06:19] http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu-releases/10.04/ [06:19] * Joshmuffin remembers first setting up the desktop cube :D [06:19] anjilslaire: can I get the url? [06:19] doyle: its in Synaptic [06:19] lemme check [06:19] xray_tsk, VCoolio, thanks -- I'll come back if it doesn't work :P [06:19] Isn't it awesome? I'm really liking Linux. [06:20] VCoolio, oh and, would I need to reboot/logout for this to take affect? [06:20] arunkumar413, are you sure? on mine, there is a scroll bar in the "Under the Hood" tab, and the check box is near the bottom [06:20] LittleWolf, you have to be prepeared to reinstall, often. The only way to have fun is break it and try fix it. [06:20] I can't find any simple tutorials to learn from, but I did read that free Ubuntu guide the forums offered. [06:20] Samual: nope [06:21] LittleWolf, everything. EVERYTHING you need is in the forums or can be found through google. [06:21] is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? [06:21] LittleWolf, you may also want to take a look @ linux mint -- it's based off of ubuntu, but it's aimed at being more "user-friendly" whereas ubuntu itself is aimed at being more "bleeding-edge" -- just a suggestion :) [06:21] doyle: http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu [06:21] FrozenInferno, update-gub? [06:22] FrozenInferno, update-grub?* [06:22] anjilslaire: Ah, I'm on a canadian repo server at uwaterloo... Canadians are slow to update. Excellent! Thanks for hte url. I'll try it [06:22] The problem I have sometimes, is that I do not know any of the terms or vocabulary. I can't word my specific problems of which I have a lot of. [06:22] FrozenInferno, i uninstall "SOME" of my old kernels to get them out of the grub list ;) there "might" be a grub2 way as well [06:22] Ahaha, it worked [06:22] Thanks. [06:22] Joshmuffin, update-grub lists the new kernel, but it leaves the old. the only way to get rid of the older kernel is removing the image from synaptic. i was wondering if there's an automatic way [06:22] doyle: I originally found it via the synaptic gui [06:23] I am breaking a lot of things, and hopefully learning... [06:23] SlidingHorn: ubuntu bleeding-edge? that's new.. also in my opinion mint is ubuntu with a green theme and it's own way of doing things so it's not portable; but that's offtopic [06:23] SlidingHorn: ya found it [06:24] VCoolio, i've personally never tried mint, but that's the impression i've gotten from what I've read...but you're right, we're OT...next! :) [06:24] FrozenFire, sorta related, if you want to tweak what your grub2 shows check out this awesome post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602 [06:24] Interesting. [06:24] my desktop PC don't have the option to suspend the machine~ what should i do to enable it? [06:25] is there any openoffice channel? [06:25] FrozenInferno, Please see my PM [06:25] Though, I think you're meaning to highlight FrozenInferno [06:25] FrozenFire, sorry that was for FrozenInferno [06:25] abhi_nav, #openoffice.org [06:25] hey [06:25] SlidingHorn, ok [06:25] i need some ones help but i dont know if this is the right place to ask well anyhow i have a 24inch lcd monitor and a 32inch flatpanel tv im using nvidia tween view and works great except the 32 inch tv set at resolution 1366x768 but its slightly off is there some sort of graphic resizing tool to fix this issue [06:26] michael_, what's "off" about it....do you mean it's off-center? [06:26] i'm trying to get IDM working on wine .... installation was good but when i add url and start downloading no connection ... ????? help me [06:27] if i maxamize a window you cant see the outer layer [06:27] LOVE_SP, does your normal ubuntu internet connection work correctly? if not, sounds like a WINE issue: #winehq [06:27] yes it work prefectly [06:27] i use wine1.2 [06:28] LOVE_SP, i meant if so** it sounds like a wine issue...try asking in #winehq :) [06:28] so is there any connection configuration for wine ? [06:28] ok thnx [06:28] antivirus for linux [06:28] np [06:28] !av [06:28] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [06:28] emilio_, clamav [06:29] or maybe in wine ubottu :) [06:29] LOVE_SP, Try keep it on one line plz :D [06:29] Anyone know if there's an easy way to get my Live USB recognized as the CD drive so I can install packages that have dependencies on the CD? [06:30] I'm reading the partitioning your disk link you sent me. I know that inside my computer there is just one hard drive thing. And when I log on windows, there is C: and D: and there's a system restore on D: that takes it all up. So Ubuntu create its OS in C: where I save all my files, or will it's make its own little one? [06:30] I've been installing the dependencies manually but I ran into a problem when 2 of said packages depend on each other... I can't install them manually. [06:31] jkivjjeogkepgerg [06:31] gdsgsgg [06:31] anyone? please? open office devanagari font issue? [06:31] Any help for downloading broadcom network drivers for Ubuntu 10.04 without being able to connect to the internet? [06:32] joker: you have to set your bios to boot from USB first, if it allows it -- unfortunately I've never done it...: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Booting%20the%20Computer%20From%20USB === jay is now known as Guest17830 [06:32] LittleWolf: C: and D: are windows terms; both are partitions; if you create a new partition for linux, windows won't see it, only C: will get smaller [06:32] SlidingHorn: Oh I did, that's all sorted. [06:32] SlidingHorn: getting one more error this time it is Error 324 [06:32] SlidingHorn: But now I need ubuntu to recognize my USB as a CD and not a USB [06:32] I have added "pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules" to my /etc/network/interfaces file and now doing /etc/init.d/networking restart gives me /etc/network/interfaces:5: misplaced option ??? [06:32] Okay, so it will take its space from C: which has available space? [06:33] Due to fortran compatibility errors, I'd like to install g77 on my machine (gcc v3.X). Is there any easy way to get this? [06:34] LittleWolf: that's up to you where you get it from; if D: is more suitable for you, that's ok; if you use gparted can see the drive as a bar and you can create and size a partition there, make it ext3 or ext4 and apply [06:35] Alternatively I would like Synaptic to recognize my USB as a legitimate repository [06:35] My system can see my CD writer (i.e. it is /dev/sr0, and comes up in Disk Utility) but I cannot read any media that is it (spins but does not mount) and it does not say it has empty media when I place it in the drive. [06:35] Well, D: is full. [06:36] It might no work if I shrink it, I think I read something about minimum OS requirements. Which brings me to, the guide says Ubuntu should be at least 4GB, but someone told me it should be around 20GB [06:36] hey anyone can tell me how to use IDM with wine ? [06:36] one day, ubuntu would be xfce4??? i don see future with gnome 3 [06:36] hello when you listing files in unix, is there is a way to sort so 10 comes after 9, not 1 [06:36] bobthemiIkman: check this set of posts: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2009-08/msg00351.html [06:36] ALguien que hable español? [06:37] Renny, /join #ubuntu-es [06:37] hey anyone can tell me how to use IDM with wine ? [06:37] LittleWolf, it depends how much data and programs you will be putting on ubuntu, excluding data (movies, music) I usually recommend 8giB [06:37] anjilslaire: Still no sign of koffice 2.2. All 2.1.2. [06:37] LOVE_SP, check the appdb, /join #winehq [06:37] !appdb | LOVE_SP [06:37] LOVE_SP: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [06:38] Oh, alright. What about "Home Partition"? Will WIndows and Ubuntu share it? [06:39] doyle: 2.2 is available from a PPA [06:39] LittleWolf: depends what you're going to do with it; 4 Gb can be enough, but it won't give much opportunities to install and experiment a lot; I'd say give file system 6 Gb and home (where your files and data and stuff are) what you need; home will not be shared with windows [06:39] LittleWolf, depeding on how you do it home will be inside / (ubuntu partition), however if you make a seperate /home partition you can set it up to be seen by windows, its kind of complicated however [06:39] O_O [06:39] hello [06:39] So they both need their own?! [06:40] LittleWolf: windows and ubuntu run on differantly formatted partitions. In the absence of translation (such as samba) they will not interact with each other. [06:40] LittleWolf: ubuntu has no problems writing to windows partitions, so you can still use files on both [06:40] greezmunkey: I found a .deb for g77-3.4 from hardy, but it's having dependency errors. I think I might just compile it from source. [06:40] arunkumar413, are you experiencing this problem with any other browsers? (i.e. firefox?) [06:40] LittleWolf, they dont need there own, but there is an option to set it up that way [06:40] need a bit of assistance with my Latitude D830 and BCM4312 rev 01. [06:40] SlidingHorn: no [06:40] hecresper, What exactly is the problem [06:40] ubuntu 10.04 fresh installation [06:40] SlidingHorn: only chrome [06:40] bobthemiIkman: yeah, I'd go the source route, that way you don't end up with any conflicting dependencies or other such wierdness. [06:40] just switched to ATT Uverse [06:41] Oh, I see. I'm not really interested on accessing ubuntu files from windows, more of windows files from ubuntu so I don't have to double them. [06:41] mneptok: ppa? [06:41] and their router is set to WPA-PSK, but ubuntu refuses to connect to it [06:41] Anyone know how to get Synaptic to recognize my LiveUSB as a LiveCD instead? [06:41] wirelessly [06:41] Well, it's not like I've never compiled gcc from source before. Although the last time I did, I had the help of being on a gentoo system. Let's see how well Ubuntu can handle this... [06:41] LittleWolf, correct ubuntu will always see windows [06:41] What is the best free version equivalent of cpanel, it doesn't have to be that comprehensive. [06:41] And let's hope I can completely not fubar all my libraries. [06:42] wow, fast [06:42] I see, that's what I didn't get, thank you! >< [06:42] Joker, tried the forums? ive seen it on there [06:42] hi all [06:42] I have an old msi laptop [06:42] sorry, just amazed at how fast i got to this point [06:43] how can I find what vendor I have from ubuntu? [06:43] https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/mobme.in/ccc?key=tcQxhybv7lMzI4rvJo02Jmw&hl=en#gid=0 [06:43] https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/mobme.in/ccc?key=tcQxhybv7lMzI4rvJo02Jmw&hl=en#gid=0 [06:43] bobthemiIkman: do 'apt-get build-dep gcc' first, will get most of the dependencies if not all [06:43] LittleWolf, Ubuntu is "friendly" as in it trys to work as much as possible where as other software trys to exclude [06:43] Joshmuffin: nope, figured I'd try here first since I had IRC open already [06:43] I'll try now [06:43] So if I got it right, I just need to make an 8GB partition for Ubuntu? [06:43] google search turns up old forum posts about wpa psk and ubuntu. nothing related to 10.04 [06:43] jasim, once would have been enough [06:44] /join #alphaonelabs [06:44] bobthemiIkman: have you tried gfortran? [06:44] Sorry... It was not meant for this IRC. [06:44] VCoolio: Thanks. Looks like it's going to pull in a few extra dependencies (like some java and C++ compiling stuff), but nothing my system can't take. [06:44] !wifi >hecresper [06:44] hecresper, please see my private message [06:44] I was trying to drag the tab out of the browser and open it in a new window. Did not notice XChat in the background. [06:44] hpw big should a / partition be? [06:44] *how [06:45] LittleWolf: yes, but also consider giving root file system and home their own partitions, so when you're going to do a fresh install some day you won't need to backup all your files; you can do this during installation of ubuntu [06:45] zer010, I would suggest 6-10 gib, if /home is a seperate partition [06:45] doyle: looks like 2.2 is actually in the backports repo [06:45] How big should they be? [06:45] ikool @josh i made mine about 1/2, 19G [06:45] doyle: try http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/202860 [06:46] zer010, if /home is not on a separate partition / should be 6-10 + however much you need for movies music ect. [06:46] LittleWolf, Read the line above this [06:46] LittleWolf: root file system will be called / while home is /home, give / 6Gb and /home the rest for example, 6Gb is enough for root [06:47] i didnt know how big / could get. /home is a sparate pat on the same 40G disk [06:47] doyle: gotta bail, battery about dead. good luck [06:47] LittleWolf: /home is where your documents, photos, videos are going to be; only you can tell how much you need there [06:47] zer010, / should be around 6 or 8 in that case [06:47] zer010, /home should be the rest [06:47] Okay, 8GB for ubuntu, 6GB for root, and however much I want for Home, right? [06:47] i guess / wont be as bloated as i thought [06:48] LittleWolf, ubuntu is on / [06:48] I want to grep a set of files (all in a directory) for the text pirate but not as a separate word, just the text no matter how it appears. (it's part of an email addy) I did grep pirate * -- was that correct (no response, just a new prompt) [06:48] thanks anjilslaire [06:49] LittleWolf: no that's double; 6 Gb for root, ? for /home so 'ubuntu' will have 6+? total, ubuntu is human language, not a partition [06:49] LittleWolf, 6gib for / rest for /home. thats the only two partitions you need [06:49] tripelb should pipe | it to a text [06:49] tripelb, try it w/o the space between pirate & the *: grep "pirate*" (use quotes) [06:49] Crap, I'm confused now. [06:49] What's the recommended directories to put these gcc-3.4.6 files in? --prefix=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4.6/? [06:50] zer010, but I got nothing. is that the behavior if it is not found? [06:50] tripelb, you can send the output to a text file by: grep "pirate*" > filename.txt [06:50] SlidingHorn: how to update only google chrome [06:50] LittleWolf, ubuntu files are stored on / your files and configurations are stored on /home [06:50] LittleWolf: describe the disk currently. how big is it? how is it partitioned? [06:50] yeah, my bad [06:50] mneptok: yep, I applied the backports, did apt-get update but still didn't show. Just looking at the url anjilslaire just gave me [06:51] My HD is 250 GB, it's split on two partitions, C: (240.6) and D: (9.4 GB) [06:51] LittleWolf: how much of C: is actually in use? [06:51] LittleWolf, how full is c? [06:52] google tranliteratio ime is only for win. is ther any way i can use it on ubuntu? (not wine) I mean any hack? [06:52] ..../ IS Ubuntu for all intents and purposes, kinda [06:52] SlidingHorn, the * means all the files [06:52] This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detects an i686 CPU. [06:52] in ESXi [06:52] 100GB or so. [06:52] I already backed up all my important files. [06:52] SlidingHorn, zer010 I did it on another directory and I'm satisfied I didnt save the email addy. duh [06:52] thanks\ [06:53] Joshmuffin thanks, I guess i got more room than i thought [06:53] LittleWolf: what version of Windows? [06:53] XP Media Center Edition [06:53] LittleWolf: may i PM? [06:53] The only windows I did not feel like punching [06:53] LittleWolf, 6ib+how much space you need for data [06:53] Of course, be my guest [06:53] np [06:53] zer010, my pleasure [06:53] zer010, glad to be of assistance [06:54] I do "graphic design" if you can call it that. I never really go over 100GB [06:54] can i give a pic here? [06:54] anyone want to help me solve my problem? its related to multibooting and grub2.

[07:32] Jordan_U: partition boot sector is now windows boot.ini and boot.ini loads my grldr (grub loader) which is grub4dos. Do I really need grub2? [07:32] macguges: ok - so that would be why [07:32] macguges: login as mysql -u root [07:33] * Joshmuffin snorts a line of coke [07:33] why can't grub1 boot ubuntu cd? [07:33] ikonia: yes, I'd noticed some errors earlier when I'd tried to create a new database.

[07:34] ohh [07:35] macguges: when you install mysql with synaptic it asks you to set a password [07:35] Jordan_U: http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/files/grldrmbr.htm here at the very end it says that it is not compatible.

[08:27] also root login is successful [08:27] does anyone know how to add a GPG key from keyserver.ubuntu.com to a preseed file (via apt-setup/local0/key)? [08:28] X-Raimo: having root login enabled is a really bad idea [08:29] ActionParsnip: I know. But there is no other way to obtain control. I cannot login as a user [08:29] X-raimo: what if you make another user? [08:29] !adduser | X-Raimo [08:29] X-Raimo: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [08:30] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep/hibernates the machine~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04 [08:31] Wildbat: is the system a laptop? [08:31] ActionParsnip: making another user is walkaround. And I need to solve the problem with current user [08:31] ActionParsnip, desktop [08:31] Apparently my /home partition got remounted as ro. Is there a way to remount it rw? [08:31] X-Raimo: no its not, it can be used to compare groups, home directories and account settings [08:32] wildbat: is it branded? [08:32] ActionParsnip, nope [08:32] what action came after last login record appears& [08:32] wildbat: ok, makes things harder [08:32] ActionParsnip, E6600 w/ ASUS P5B motherbroad [08:33] X-Raimo: you'll need to check the user has a valid shell set for one [08:33] ActionParsnip: currently user has /bin/bash [08:33] wildbat: ok are there any guides for the board.? You may need some boot options or some conf files jigging. Suspend can be a real pain to get nice [08:34] X-Raimo: is that what a new user has? This is why a new user can help, you can compare settings if a new user can ssh ok. [08:34] ActionParsnip, nope ~:< i think i saw the option be4 but don't know since when it is gone >.< [08:34] Best material on rsync command except the ubuntu manual. [08:35] X-Raimo: i'd also look in sshd_config, see if there are any restrictions (if the file controls restrictions) [08:35] How do I list all the dependiencies of a package? Terminal command or a web interface are both OK for me.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:40] Jordan_U: No, Ubuntu Karmic here. I don't want to install. I want to learn all the dependencies of some packages (either they are installed on my system or not). Independent from my actual system. To analyze, to decide something, lets say. [08:40] ziro`: mv x y/ to move x into y [08:40] Does anybody know what plugin I need for compiz to have different wallpapers on each desktop? I've tried some instructions that say to edit them in compiz config->cube desktop->appearance-> edit wallpapers, but I don't have that option at all. [08:41] help has any one ever got a working IRC chat server runing on ubuntu server [08:41] I remember when I started using ubuntu you could set them real easily. [08:41] pehden: sure soneone in this channel has. what is the real question/problem [08:41] pehden, apt-cache search ircd should bring some results [08:41] I have the cube desktop, but in the appearance tab there's no place to edit the wallpapers [08:41] ok, i have x/foo.html and y/bar.html [08:41] marenostrum: http://apt.alturl.com/ (from the ubottu message) [08:41] i want to move y's contents into x recurisvely [08:42] Can anybody help me get my video card working properly in Lucid Lynx, It's a GeForce 9800GT, it works on my primary monitor, but i can't get the secondary to show, any help would be greatly appreciated [08:42] so i'd end up to x/foo.html x/bar.html [08:42] "Dual-view" [08:42] ninwa, There are two different "managers" or "control panels" for compiz - ccsm and compizconfig-manager - which are you using? [08:42] hi! i have a problem using apt-get: i added a vlc-ppa to sources.list. after removing the entry and running "apt-get update" aptitude is still able to update vlc to the ppa-version. what am i doing wrong? [08:43] YankDownUnder, ccsm [08:43] marenostrum: apt-cache --recurse depends packagenamehere [08:43] ninwa, Roger that. [08:43] hrm, maybe not, that's a little /too/ outputty [08:44] apt-cache -i --recurse depends packagenamehere is a little better [08:44] Can anybody help me get my video card working properly in Lucid Lynx, It's a GeForce 9800GT, it works on my primary monitor, but i can't get the secondary to show anything, any help would be greatly appreciated [08:45] ninwa, I think you need to enable "Wallpapers" firstly - if I'm not mistaken...it's towards the bottom in CCSM mate [08:45] G-man: try running nvidia-xconfig [08:45] G-man, sudo nvidia-settings => configure both the screens, click "Apply" [08:46] rww: Thanks a lot. [08:46] i don't know how to run xconfig [08:47] G-man, Open a term, and type: sudo nvidia-settings => then configure yer screens, click "Apply" and etc etc etc... [08:47] need some help with ati drivers and running two different resolution monitors [08:47] the ati proprietary drivers are absolutely horrible [08:48] telling me command not found [08:48] i typed sudo nvidia-settings [08:48] G-man, apt-get install nvidia-settings [08:48] permission denied [08:49] ah [08:49] its telling me couldn't find package nvidia [08:49] wildbat: I guess I am more lost that I thought in fdisk. I have http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=uKHsaApY but when I try to mkfs.ext3 I get http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=5ZXUWxcN [08:49] sudo apt-get install nvida-settings .... i get message E: Coudln't find package nvidia [08:49] YankDownUnder, I've got it figured out, actually. It is the wallpaper plugin, however gnome draws the desktop over-top of it so you have to edit "show_desktop" value in gconf to false first, so it doesn't write over compiz's [08:50] YankDownUnder, you pointed me in the right direction with turning on wallpapers didnt see it down there :) cheers [08:50] how do i uninstall ati proprietary drivers? [08:50] ninwa, Coolbeans mate...going to test it on a different workstation... [08:51] Yankdownunder: Any other ideas?

[09:02] pehden: that is resolving the hostname to the ip so the server is running on eth0 [09:02] Does anybody know where to find a ubuntu developpers channel ? [09:02] Rogan: loading the kernel with acpi_cpufreq? [09:02] jo_: why?

[10:45] ok [10:45] Gryllida, which I answered about 30 mins ago [10:46] Gryllida: http://hacktux.com/irc/client [10:46] I'm lost here, too crowded, didn't see ircii suggestion [10:46] Gryllida, much less developed supported than weechat and irssi though [10:46] bazhang: my main concern is to always see win/tab list [10:46] Gryllida: http://www.ircreviews.org/clients/platforms-unix.html [10:47] Gryllida: as a pre-emptive strike for when someone recommends you bitchx: [10:47] !bitchx [10:47] bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [10:47] ?

Version 2.8.0-2ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 152 kB, installed size 544 kB [10:47] Gryllida: there is a plugin for weechat that show tabs; no doubt there is something like it for irssi too [10:47] ok [10:48] Gryllida: do you know how to build a deb from any svn trunk? [10:48] Gryllida, why not explore in irssi channel as well [10:48] !info libfreetype6 [10:48] Gryllida, #irssi [10:48] libfreetype6 (source: freetype): FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files.

[10:53] X3: you have to download it first anyway, maybe try #svn [10:53] bazhang: the compile use to work b4 the xbmc changes to the addons stuff now the same compile method included on readme doesnt work [10:54] bazhang & Grylida: I have the svn downloaded already just need help sorting tis out how to build a deb from svn [10:54] X3, sorry, my question was more on what was needed over the PPA version (ie not sufficient) [10:55] X3: IDK, man make, extract it first, but if it doesn't have build instructions then it [10:55] svn ppa is bleeding edge whch is fixing issues that the ppa has [10:55] s badly progrmmed [10:55] X3: check if there is a README file; normally it's ./autogen.sh && make && make install, but if you replace the last with checkinstall it makes a deb for you [10:56] rww: Thanks for that ... next question .. any idea how /var/www/wtmp gets populated?! I have a script that sends me a message via Growl whenever anyone logs into one of my servers, but also want to add in the users IP address. [10:56] VCoolio: ok just replace ./autogen.sh && make && make install with ./autogen.sh && make && checkinstall does it? [10:56] (external IP address) .. I am guessing that I may be able to use the same systems that this uses. [10:57] lemme check if it has that [10:57] X3: yes, first build like normal, then install with sudo checkinstall; install checkinstall first [10:57] Hi [10:57] I'm a french user, sorry if i don't speak very clearly [10:57] elyob: various programs write to it. see "man wtmp" and "man -k wtmp". [10:57] I have a computer with ubuntu server 10.04, i installed X server and then, i installed kdm [10:57] !fr | Sylvain3665 [10:57] Sylvain3665: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [10:57] but i don't want x and kdm to start when the system boots, i want to stay in console mode [10:58] Okay :p [10:58] X3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [10:59] VCoolio: thx lemme try that [11:00] Is it allowed to post a single line of scripting to troubleshoot it? [11:01] Dazzled, this isn't a scripting channel [11:01] Dazzled one line is good [11:01] it works when I 'cd' to the dir, and then run the command [11:01] #python [11:01] I've got midi_kbd+jack+qsynth+soundfont setup for playing, but I'm looking for a way to transpose the midi somewhere along the route, is there something able to do this easily (I've looked but not found anything).. [11:02] [root@telefooncentrale ~]# /etc/init.d/asterisk "show channels" [11:02] Usage: asterisk {start|stop|status|restart|reload} [11:02] arand, Lmss [11:02] does anyone know python here [11:02] arand, lmms* [11:02] will, the python channel does [11:02] Dazzled your question answers itself [11:02] will, try #python [11:02] !python [11:02] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org [11:02] it won't let me join [11:02] will, /join #python [11:02] dotblank: I'll have a look, cheers. [11:02] when I cd to ect/init.d, it does work [11:03] Question : are there known issues with recent NetworkManager ? My 10.04 hang at boot, I disabled NFS entries from fstab (via bootcd) now system starts up with no networking. Manual ifconfig/route/resolv works fine though. Any hints ? [11:03] you need to be identified with services [11:03] is what it says [11:03] will, you might have to register on freenode first. ask in #freenode about that. [11:03] then do it will [11:03] will: /join #freenode they can tell you how to do that [11:03] Dazzled: do 'which asterisk' to see what is executed [11:03] H__, investigate /etc/Network-Manager or /etc/NetworkManager [11:03] ubottu: tell will about register [11:03] will, please see my private message [11:03] Dazzled "show channels" is not a 'start command' but rather a command issued by $ asterisk -r after starting gthe service [11:03] airtonix: ok [11:03] hi guys. I just reinstalled ubuntu 10.04 and have some trouble with Xorg. I can't do fullscreen in mplayer and glxgears, glxinfo etc. all crash with a segmentation fault. I have a radeon x600, but modprobe fglx says "no such device" [11:04] VCoolio: Sorry, I don't understand the which command, but I'll look it up [11:04] AAA: the actual script is "sip reload" [11:04] data :use ubuntu 9.1 [11:04] fglx is propably not installed in the dafault ubuntu [11:04] AAA: but I didn't want to break anything :) [11:04] i installed it... otherwise it would be "no such module" [11:05] Hello, my ubuntu 10.04 hangs on "running /scripts/init-bottom Done." I cant run rescue mode because it hangs too on menu - how i can fix it? [11:05] * airtonix mumbles about selling the ati card [11:05] how should i configure gdm to detect my new installed fluxbox? === will is now known as wpots [11:05] Helloer, you can add the parameter "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel at boot (don't forget to remove splash quiet) [11:06] hm watch the logs what is /dev/dri ? [11:06] airtonix: managed=false looks not right. Any idea where I can find what process changed that, and when and why ? [11:06] Dazzled: to see what binary / script is executed with a command, you can do 'which something' and you'll get the path to something; if you run asterisk I think something like /usr/bin/asterisk is executed, not /etc/init.d/asterisk === mocramis__ is now known as _mocramis === _mocramis is now known as Mocramis [11:06] Dazzled you are a bit confused. first, stuf in /etc/init.d/ are scripts for starting/stoping services. once that service is started you can interact with it. in your case, asterisk, you will start the service $ service asterisk start, or /etc/init.d/asterisk start. and then use $ asterisk -r to connect to that service and issue your sip reload commands and the like [11:06] candyban hmm but i want run ubuntu:P [11:07] how should i configure gdm to detect a new installed window manager? [11:07] wildbat : I deleted and recreated the linux swap partition... Success... But, the swap is not on by default... So, how do i declare a partition to be swap in ubuntu....

[11:07] Hi all, I'm trying to set up VirtualBox on an Intel Core 2 Quad. I enable Vt-X in the machine settings and PAE-NX, but when I start the machine they don't show up as enabled. How do I check whether the host CPU supports these virtual extensions? [11:07] Sangeeth, to view the UUID do "sudo blkid" [11:07] Anyone know how to install android or linux on phones??? That is, i ask can anyphone be installed with linux or android?? [11:08] Hi, I am in trouble. my crontab is not working please help me [11:08] wildbat : Where do i find that.. [11:08] Sangeeth, wildbat just told you. [11:09] sirlark, "sudo kvm-ok" [11:09] wildbat : Ya.. I got it... !! [11:09] Helloer, what is this "/scripts/init-bottom"? [11:09] Hi, I am in trouble. my crontab is not working please help me. here is my crontab entry */1 * * * * sh /home/brijith/bin/starwall >Desktop/error.txt [11:09] AAA: Thanks, I'll try that [11:09] brijithmac1 try ~brijith/Desktop/error.txt [11:10] VCoolio: thanks for the which command, I'm jumping in now :p [11:10] brijithmac1: try this: /bin/sh /home/brijith/bin/starwall > /home/brijith/Desktop/error.txt [11:10] wildbat : I got into the UUID file, But how to update??? [11:10] AAA, ok i've got a new node. i want to make tempuser ssh'able into remote the right way. firstly how do i give a user sudo rights [11:10] airtonix: ok. system-connections/ is empty (what i expected it to be). I'm wondering why NetworkManager decided not to use networking anymore. I'll edit nm-system-settings.conf and set managed=true and reboot (tonight). [11:10] my ubuntu installation on my macbook pro is pretty slow. any tuning tipps? [11:10] bosky101 visudo [11:10] VCoolio: /home/brijith/bin/starwall is the command [11:10] Sangeeth, ALT+ F2 > gksu gedit /etc/fstab [11:11] wildbat : I got into that.. Then??? [11:11] VCoolio:it will change my desktop back ground [11:11] brijithmac1, so you're basically wanting to run this script every 60 seconds?? [11:11] H__, that line is the same on my system. i wouldn't change it [11:11] VCoolio:/home/brijith/Desktop/error.txt is just for testing [11:11] unop:yes [11:11] Sangeeth, locate the line with the word "swap" and update the UUID from that line [11:11] H__, how bout i post my auto eth0 for you to use ? [11:12] brijithmac1: you'll need full paths in cron, and unless it's executable you'll need /bin/sh in front of it too [11:12] brijithmac1, chmod +x /home/brijith/bin/starwall; while :; do /home/brijith/bin/starwall; sleep 60; done [11:12] hi, i'm considering using either ubuntu or ubuntu server. I have an old desktop I want to use ubuntu on, but I will mainly be using it as a file server; however, I'd also like to be able to do some minimal GUI stuff on it, like firefox [11:12] candyban i dont know:P [11:13] brijithmac1, your crontab isn't working because you haven't set DISPLAY, i presume. You need that set to affect GUI environments. [11:13] VCoolio: unop: http://pastebin.com/JESi6sd7 [11:13] unop: where do I find info on while : ? [11:13] Dynetrekk fluxbox is an great lightweight window manager. as is windowmaker [11:13] VCoolio: unop:i sthe script I want to run [11:13] AAA: but ubuntu, or ubuntu server? [11:13] wildbat : I had located, http://paste.ubuntu.com/454908/ this has the contents of the file.... What are al to be updated in the SWAP line?? [11:13] unop:that script is executable [11:14] brijithmac1 I'd say server and then add the light gui stuff by apt [11:14] VCoolio, ''help :'' # : is a no-op command like true ... so that's another way of writing ' while true; do ...' [11:14] brijithmac1, right, so run the script like i showed you -- not using crontab. [11:14] unop:how to set the DISPLAY [11:14] H__, have you tried to add a new wired connection profile using nm-applet ? [11:14] <^boy_palcomtech^> help me please [11:15] AAA, when i used 'useradd -s /bin/bash -m /home/tempuser tempuser' it didnt create $HOME/.ssh . is there some flag ive missed in useradd? [11:15] AAA: sounds good then... the server edition has less stuff in it? [11:15] AAA: Dynetrekk : i've tried fluxbox too, but u should give openbox a try... [11:15] unop: I know that but ... Each time login I have to run it manually rt ?? [11:15] What is the problem with running wine .exe files now, with a warning about the executable bit? How the hell can a CD's files be chmodded??!?!?! === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` [11:15] brijithmac1, it's better to launch the script in your environment than to use crontab -- because DISPLAY has to be set here and that can vary. [11:15] unop: Thats the reason why I am going for crontab [11:15] bosky101 I think adduser adds stuff from /etc/skel or at least it used to [11:16] fishcooker: anything will do - I won't use it much anyway. it needs to run firefox and vim :) [11:16] brijithmac1, yes, you'll need to be logged in anyway -- even with the crontab approach to work. [11:16] Sangeeth, the last line it is ~ just update the UUID to the new one that you get from blkid [11:16] wildbat : What are to be edited in the SWAP line... [11:16] unop:no... [11:16] Dynetrekk I've not used ubuntu-server for several releases. but that is the jist [11:16] brijithmac1, yes ... [11:16] unop:Waht I am saying is [11:16] AAA: sounds good for my nefarious purposes [11:17] Dynetrekk maybe just screen and links2 will suit you then? [11:17] rww: Well, it is int32_t ut_addr_v6[4] that I want, but am not sure if this gets populated to na ccessible variable sim [11:17] unop:if I use as you said with sleep command etc and run it manually [11:17] Dynetrekk : u wont take much effort too.. n irc.client too [11:17] unop:every time have to run it manually [11:17] rww: Well, it is int32_t ut_addr_v6[4] that I want, but am not sure if this gets populated to an accessible variable like $HOST etc [11:17] AAA: screen and links2? what is that? [11:17] wildbat : But, i have the file to be readonly!!!?? [11:17] unop:it will not start automatically rt ? [11:17] brijithmac1, well, you can have the script launched automatically .. [11:17] !startup | brijithmac1 [11:17] brijithmac1: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [11:18] if you use crontab make sure you have cron [11:18] Sangeeth, did you run gksu be the gedit? "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" [11:18] Dynetrekk screen is a terminal app that lets you have multiple shells open simultaneously. links2 is an ncurses based browser with graphic support [11:18] cCc pardus cCc [11:18] unop:But still I am curious about this cron.. Why its not working [11:18] wildbat : what is gksu??? [11:19] Thanks AAA and VCoolio, it worked! [11:19] !gksu | Sangeeth [11:19] Sangeeth: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [11:19] AAA: ah, I know links, or lynx, I've sen one of them before. I'd prefer firefox, I'd say. [11:19] can anyone tell me why getch() doesn't work in linux? what 's the alternative command ? [11:19] Sangeeth, gksu is GUI version of sudo [11:19] Dazzled hack the system! [11:19] Dynetrekk hehe, just depends on how minimal you want to go :) [11:19] brijithmac1, because the DISPLAY environment variable is not set. like i said, it needs to be set if you are going to affect the GUI. [11:19] Thanks all! [11:20] AAA: sure, but if I have to learn new stuff, it will take me more effort than I'd care to. [11:20] AAA: I will of course install ssh-server and tell it what to do from my laptop ASAP anyway. [11:20] hey all, I'm looking for a graphic flash editor under ubuntu. [11:20] brijithmac1, and since the DISPLAY can vary -- it's better to have your GUI invoke the script rather than use crontab. [11:20] Dynetrekk effort + learning = hacking = good [11:20] AAA: I agree, for most purposes [11:21] hacking is not derogative [11:21] AAA: is it problematic to set up network services on ubuntu desktop? [11:21] AAA: I agree :) [11:21] Anybody know how to reinstall windows from ubuntu without a disk or flash drive? [11:21] unop:you said we can set DISPLAY in cron. can you say how ? [11:21] AAA: I'll have to look up derogative to be sure, but sounds right [11:21] Dynetrekk no. ifconfig and man are your friends [11:21] Astro_, y [11:22] brijithmac1: add a line on top like: DISPLAY=:0.0 [11:22] Astro_, possibly via firewire? [11:22] VCoolio:ok Let me check [11:22] New hard drive. Big enough that I wanna dual boot it. Got no firewire, no disks big enough to hold windows, no flash drives. Just gparted and the internet. [11:23] airtonix: the kde applet just says all networking is disabled. That's why I resorted to using ifconfig and friends. [11:23] AAA: great, thanks... I'm thinking about SSH and possibly some network file share to have at home [11:23] brijithmac1: do "echo $DISPLAY" to see what you need for :0.0, probably the same though [11:23] brijithmac1, or change your crontab line to. */1 * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 /home/brijith/bin/starwall [11:23] Astro_, maybe install it on your old harddrive, then mount that drive from the new one, and shift windows onto it from there? [11:24] AAA: is the alternate install CD faster? [11:24] Don't have the old hard drive either. [11:24] airtonix: about your auto eth0 part, please post :) [11:24] Isn't there a way to just put the boot files onto a partition and boot from that to install? [11:24] Has anyone had any success using flex builder? [11:24] Dynetrekk less than an hour either way [11:25] unop: */1 * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0;/home/brijith/bin/starwall is any thing wrong in this line [11:25] AAA: I'll try alternate just for the hacking of it then [11:25] H__, http://pastebin.com/1HSg9rmP [11:25] later guys happy getting ubuntu to work [11:25] Astro_, possibly. if you were to put the iso onto a partition, then use a usbstick to instruct your computer to mount the iso? [11:26] Hello everyone. [11:26] Anyone here know anything about a program called NZBGet? been trying for weeks to find someone who can help me with a problem I am having./ [11:26] brijithmac1, yes, you've used two commands there by introducing the ';' -- [11:26] brijithmac1, use it like i showed you. [11:26] So the bottom line is I gotta go get a usb stick or a dvd huh. [11:26] Dynetrekk I like your style [11:27] Or an sd card maybe. Don't know how that would work though [11:27] airtonix: thanks. I'll use it. However I think it won't solve the issue, I assume networkmanager decided to remove the one that was there for unknown reason. I'll find out tonight ;-) Thanks for your time and help so far. [11:27] Astro_: without a imput with the data you can only install via network [11:27] brijithmac1 don't you want to export that DISPLAY var? [11:28] unop: AAA: do I need to export ?? [11:28] For a free operating system, Linux has cost me quite a bit of money.... Ok thanks dudes. I'm off to find a usb thingy. [11:28] brijithmac1 YES [11:28] brijithmac1, not if you use it on the same line. [11:29] astro you can use network as well [11:29] unop brijithmac1 but the directive makes no sense to bash [11:29] wildbat : Thanks... I got the swap activated... Also, thanks that i learned some other things... :D [11:29] not as simple [11:29] AAA, what directive?

[11:30] unop default 10.4 is though [11:30] AAA: DISPLAY=:0.0 [11:30] AAA, in either case, that's a valid command.

[11:31] Sangeeth, ya ~ but better hit on the channel ~ i am no expert ;p [11:31] brijithmac1, what was the exact command you used. and what is $DISPLAY according to your session, now? [11:31] Is there information available on upstart (and the way the thing actually works/is implemented)? [11:32] wildbat : But, you are better than me ;-) [11:32] !upstart | candyban [11:32] candyban: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[11:38] unop: it is the out put when it run properly [11:38] who can help? [11:38] brijithmac1, does your gconftool line work when run under a shell? [11:38] AAA, they replaced SysV with upstart ... if that means inittab goes, I have no problem with it IF they have good docs as to how it works now [11:39] unop:I have treid the same script from terminal and its working file [11:39] brijithmac1, I have to leave now, you're on the right track - hope someone else can help you sort this. [11:39] candyban agreed [11:39] candyban: the wiki seems adquate [11:39] X3, I looked at the wiki ... but I can't find e.g. which service it starts first ... how it "resolves" dependencies etc [11:39] unop:sure no problem [11:39] candyban: well dont they have a channel or email to ask the question [11:40] candyban not seeing S.$ and K.$ in init.d/ is scarey [11:40] candyban: I would help if I knew how to [11:40] X3, perhaps you can point me to the relevant page on the wiki. I have 2 scripts which have "Required-Start: $network" ... they FAIL because the network is not started "yet" [11:41] k"ARG1 = 'SELECT prefix") in new stack [11:42] X3, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ... so I added a 5 seconds delay in 1 script (changing it from S20 to S60 didn't work either) and that seems to work [11:42] candyban X3 does /etc/rc.local still work after upstart? [11:43] X3, the main benefit of Linux over Windows is reliability ... if you can't even rely on the fact that services get started or not [11:43] candyban: services are started either /etc/init.d/appname start | stop | restart or service appname start | stop |restart [11:43] AAA, rc.local works as before [11:43] so network would be [11:43] ser [11:43] candyban so why not put your failsafe script there? [11:44] candyban: service networking start or /etc/init.d/networking start [11:44] AAA, because that is silly ...it should work properly [11:44] candyban ah, the classic debate [11:44] AAA, if I have to do everything myself and cannot rely on the normal procedure, I can better run LFS [11:44] candyban: service networking start or /etc/init.d/networking start [11:45] candyban ubuntu 10.4 is so many miles away from potato that these bugs mean so little in the scheme... [11:45] X3, network starts fine (90% of the time) ... but the thing is that snmpd tries to start before eth3 is brought up ... so it fails because it can't find/bind the IP address it is assigned to [11:46] candyban: then put a failsafe [11:46] X3, I would be happy if I could force upstart to process the scripts in series rather than in parallel [11:47] candyban: ensure that snmpd if started is stopped before that [11:47] candyban rc.local and research/hack the real solution [11:47] X3, I did in one script, but how broken is a system if can't even boot properly [11:47] X3, how can I do that using upstart? [11:47] candyban special cases and stuff..

SXXscript is started before SYYscript [11:48] X3 candyban that is the issure [11:48] X3, it has a dependency (Required-Start: $network) [11:48] X3, I just installed apt-get installed snmpd [11:49] candyban have you tried the pre-up statements in /etc/network-interfaces/blah [11:49] Hi, does someone can help me to connect via ftp to my nas? it is attached by lan interface to a modem router. I've enabled portforwarding on port 21 on it, matching with the nas static ip adress. On the nas I've enabled the ddns service.but When I browse it i can reach only the router web interface [11:50] AAA, /etc/network-interfaces/blah? (unless you mean /etc/network/interfaces, but it has nothing to do with that) [11:50] AAA, those are just commands it will perform before bringing up the interface ... the problem is with the service which is started before the interface is up [11:51] AAA, and no, I will not create up commands to start my services [11:51] candyban just brainstorming [11:52] candyban: try reading this http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7033/1/ [11:52] candyban I hear rh is also moving to upstart [11:53] AAA, I don't care about rh ... I care about my systems (debian based) [11:53] candyban: I think that may help u [11:53] X3, then the even "network ready" is sent incorrectly [11:54] X3, it should be sent when ALL interfaces are properly configured, not e.g. when the first one is configured [11:54] er did u read the tutorial [11:54] how can i change the permissions of a mounted iso === imaginativeone__ is now known as Imaginativeone [11:54] chmod doesn't work [11:54] fif0: you have to unmount it [11:55] X3, Upstart, in contrast, is event based.

I agree, documentation is good [11:56] y he looked so perky? [11:56] how do i get my volume applet to show in gnome-panel? it no longer shows up on login [11:56] candyban: I can read but thats all I can do to help is point you at a tutorial [11:56] eddy right click on panel [11:56] I unmounted the iso, changed the permissions but the filesystem is read only [11:57] join #python [11:57] X3, ps. they are referring to /etc/event.d where the scripts are supposed to be stored, but on 10.04 server it is in /etc/init [11:57] fif0 use the mount option $ mount -o rw [11:57] fif0: you asked how to change permissions [11:57] I want to change the permissions of the filesystem [11:57] AAA: what problem [11:57] abhinesh huh? [11:58] use chmod 777 use command [11:58] AAA: use it [11:58] X3, the sound volume does not appear in the Add to Panel list. i'm guessing it's an applet which loads into the notification area [11:58] it doesn't work [11:58] changing permissions of `./': Read-only file system [11:58] abhinesh you are confused [11:58] yes [11:58] eddy: rigt click on gnome panel and select add [11:59] u go in terminal and [11:59] go that directory [11:59] how do I obtain websphere?

[12:01] hi there: got a problem on mounting an nfs partition on boot. the fstab file works [proof giving mount -a], but on boot it doesn't want to work. Any idea?! [12:01] abhinesh yes. chmod == change file modifications [12:02] fif0: I think you'll have to specify the permissions at mount time. Looki into the options for ISO in "man mount" [12:02] e-DIO-t, can you check your syslog and look for errors? [12:02] e-DIO-t, I think I have similar issues with other services [12:02] e-DIO-t: as long as both the server and client are configured ok NFS should mount at each boot === Black_Prince is now known as BlackPrince [12:03] AAA: chmod use to change permission [12:03] I have an iso file...I want to change it...I edit the permissions with chmod of the iso file(not mounted)...I mounted the file...changed into the dir and edit the permissions, too [12:03] candyban, hi, are u busy [12:03] e-DIO-t: make sure that the dirs that NFS is trying to mount exist === BlackPrince is now known as Black_Prince [12:03] mcs-che, depends [12:04] AAA:u do it [12:04] abhinesh ok [12:05] mcs-che, if you have a question/problem, just ask everyone [12:05] X3: folder exists and got "root" owner. [12:05] e-DIO-t: wild guess the user is always root? [12:05] e-DIO-t: try chmod those dirs as 755 or 777 [12:06] e-DIO-t X3 sound like sudo backfired [12:06] candyban, http://pastebin.com/gA24eqfJ - can you help me a little [12:06] AAA: ?

[12:06] X3, using "sudo mount -a" the file works [12:07] ah [12:07] like I said === karthik is now known as Guest5764 [12:07] ?? [12:07] what's the way it could not work on boot? [12:07] mcs-che, have you been playing with initramfs? [12:07] chmod the NFS dirs to 755 or 777 you resove problem [12:08] e-DIO-t: chmod the NFS dirs your trying to mount to 755 or 777 you resove problem [12:08] candyban, no I just wrote 'apt-get update && apr-get upgrade' that's all [12:08] X3: is a DB-schema backup folder ;) [12:08] I am having two issues with my network connectivity: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9508804 [12:08] X3 e-DIO-t with tthe -R option and some security concerns [12:08] mcs-che, what do you get when you run "sudo update-initramfs -c -k all" [12:09] e-DIO-t: Like I said atm your permissions dont allow it hence you need sudo [12:09] use sudo [12:09] ....well...so you mean that the "startup run of fstab" is not made by root?! [12:09] e-DIO-t: change the permissions and sudo is not required anymore and can be ounted at startup [12:10] e-DIO-t: no fstab is executed by user [12:10] ...oh well..so that explains everything :P [12:10] what if I change root:admin with "some_backup_dedicated_user:hisgroup"? [12:10] candyban, nothing [12:11] candyban, strange [12:11] well..i'll try :P back in a few [12:11] X3, it is run by a user? (which user would that be?) [12:11] e-DIO-t: whatever you do the folders NFS mounts have to have 755 or 777 permissions [12:12] candyban: whaevr user the system (YOU) created on install [12:12] -irc.org +6601 [12:12] candyban: you can allow root login that is not the user a normal user must be created [12:13] hey , can someone help me , i installed win over my ubuntu mbr [12:13] candyban: its how linux works [12:13] X3 candyban zing... === mint is now known as ifancho [12:14] ifancho: unless you reformatted the partition ubuntu was on, reinstall grub [12:14] Can I get the Lucid Software Center to Karmic? I can't seem to find a PPA for it.. [12:14] Glowball: you don't [12:14] Glowball: they are for seperate versions [12:14] VCoolio: how [12:14] ikonia: But Lucid is bugged on my laptop :( [12:14] mmmh...but i got same permission on the other...and it works [12:15] Glowball: I can't help that [12:15] ifancho: you're currently using mint [12:15] i know [12:15] mint: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [12:15] ikonia: But now I'm used to the Lucid Software Center, the Karmic one just sucks ass :P [12:15] !grub [12:15] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [12:15] can i go from here [12:15] X3, /etc/fstab is writeable only by root ... it makes no sense that it is executed by another user than root. You can specify the "user" option so that a regular user is allowed to mount the filesystem, but normally only root is allowed to mount [12:15] or i have to boot from ubuntu [12:15] ifancho: ok - so why are you using mint ? [12:15] i just had that on my usb [12:16] loaded [12:16] candyban, any ideas [12:16] hey guys, i need to install my wlan card...how can i detect it and install..(newbie)? [12:16] ifancho: but you're trying to resolve an issue with ubuntu ? [12:16] yes [12:16] i`m [12:16] ifancho: ok, what's the issue with it ? [12:16] hello we have domain sfw.local and loca dns server. The client is ubuntu. If we put www.sfw.local in firefox it makes query to MDNS 244.0.0.1 instead of our local DNS (which authorative for sfw.local). Why? [12:16] like i sad [12:16] today when I looking in my log I saw a bunch of things like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454935/ -- the thing is, this doesn't describe the hardware on my system at all. I have no UDMA drive. and I have no /dev/ata[56] [12:16] my grum is missing [12:17] !grub2 > ifancho [12:17] ifancho, please see my private message [12:17] ifancho: follow those instructions to install/re-install grub [12:17] I ran a package and installed something, how do i 'uninstall' it, (remove all the files and settings? [12:17] can anyone help how to change the Grub background [12:17] mcs-che, update-initramfs -c -k all should return "something". if it doesn't, try to figure out why it doesn't [12:17] hi guys, I ran an update for karmic, after restart it drops to command shell and I have to manually startx, I check my runlevel and its running on 2. tried googling but still same prob occured [12:17] X-Raimo1: look in your network manager config to see what dns servers ubuntu is setup to use [12:18] can i do it thru mint or i have to boot agian from ubuntu live === emc_ is now known as emc [12:18] ifancho: use ubuntu live === ubuntu is now known as om26er [12:18] candyban: the write permissions are by root only read and wrtiite permissions for a NSF mount must be allowed to user not just root otherwise you have to do sudo [12:19] i`ll give it try [12:19] I ran a package and installed something, how do i 'uninstall' it, (remove all the files and settings? [12:19] ikonia: first - our local DNS, second - ISP's DNS [12:19] candyban, `sudo update-initramfs -c -k all -v` rerurn "Nothing to do, exiting." [12:19] SirRedTooth: what do you mean "ran a package and installed something" ? Usually we use "apt-get" etc to install / remove software [12:19] X-Raimo1: ok - so it should only query those two servers [12:19] oCean_, how do i find out the name of the package? [12:19] X-Raimo1 make sure you dns host is defined in /etc/host and also make sure your /etc/resolv.conf points to those servers [12:19] SirRedTooth: what was the command you used to install? [12:19] AAA: his dns does not have to be in /etc/hosts [12:19] Need help : How to change the gurb background of ubuntu? [12:20] oCean_, it was a python script "sudo python setup.py install" [12:20] mcs-che, you do have a kernel installed, right? :p [12:20] ikonia no, but dns hits that before reslov.conf. so just a failsafe of sorts [12:20] AAA: not at all [12:20] techtiny it should be documented on the ubuntu site [12:20] AAA: DNS servers are referenced by IP - so adding them to /etc/hosts will do nothing [12:21] xaratas: thanks [12:21] SirRedTooth: there might be an uninstall or remove option in the setup.py script? [12:21] ikonia yes, dns queries hit /etc/hosts before /etc/resolv.conf. it is true [12:21] AAA: /etc/hosts should not be used to populate DNS domains [12:21] xaratas : could you please send me the link [12:21] candyban, yes [12:21] http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB_2/Thema [12:21] ikonia agreed. that is not my point [12:21] AAA: he wants to use his dns server - that's where he should be querying, not putting dns entries in /etc/hosts [12:21] as I discovered the problem is :.local domain is specific to avahi [12:21] half way down techtiny [12:21] AAA: then don't tell someone to put dns entries in /etc/hosts [12:22] oCean_, doesn't look like it, and there is nothing about uninstalling in the readme file [12:22] if we do host www.sfw.loca it return corrent IP [12:22] mcs-che, I think so [12:22] ikonia I didn't. I said put ip/hostname mapping sthere [12:22] *correct [12:22] AAA: that makes no difference [12:22] * jpds watches X-Raimo1 in #ubuntu-uk too. [12:22] ikonia yes it does [12:22] AAA: the DNS servers are referenced by IP's not names, so putting the names/ip's in /etc/hosts makes no difference [12:22] AAA: no it doesn't [12:22] AAA: resolve.conf should contain IP's not names [12:23] resolv.conf even [12:23] ikonia research the life of a dns query [12:23] SirRedTooth: too bad. What you could do is try something like "python setup.py --record /tmp/files.txt" If configurer properly, you might end up with a list op installed files in /tmp/files.txt [12:23] AAA: I'm aware of how dns works [12:23] ikonia I don't belive you [12:23] VCoolio: i did the checkinstall thing it worked fine but the packages beng ran are still the old ones [12:23] AAA: don't care if you do [12:24] Hello, is anyone online? [12:24] 1400+ are [12:24] !hi | walshy1 [12:24] walshy1: 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! [12:24] e-DIO-t: no fstab is executed by user ... why would you then need to use sudo? [12:24] oCean_, it ran the setup agai [12:24] I just have a small question about KNetworkManager [12:24] candyban: ITS not fstab its the NFS dirs hes trying to mount [12:25] When I click on an ethernet connection in KNetworkManager, it doesn't do anything. My wireless works fine however. [12:25] candyban: HIS NFS dirs only have r/rw root access not user [12:26] SirRedTooth: and, did it result in a filelisting in /tmp/files.txt ? [12:26] X3, his question was: ....well...so you mean that the "startup run of fstab" is not made by root?! [12:26] candyban: never mind [12:26] Anyone know anything about KNetworkManager? [12:26] oCean_, no just a error: error: option --record not recognized [12:26] X3, /etc/exports need to have proper permissions AND filesystem permissions [12:27] walshy1: i know [12:27] well X3 [12:27] i can't get the solution: i mean === visof_ is now known as visof [12:27] candyban: his original question was not about fstab but about NFS mounts he had on fstab werent being mounted at boot [12:27] SirRedTooth: in that case, I can not help you. It's actually not an ubuntu issue, right? Maybe someone in #phyton can help, or the documentation on the site wherever you got the software [12:28] oCean_, okay thanks, i wish ubuntu just made a control pannel, or atleast something similar to 'Program Files' so we know where everything is [12:28] got two servers trying to mount the same nfs dir using the same fstab. One works on boot, the other don't, but works with mount -a. I mean -> why the problem should be in the destination/source folder permissions? [12:28] e-DIO-t: the solution I said it 3 times already the NFS mounts dirs on system your trying to mount HAVE to have 775 or 777 permissions [12:28] SirRedTooth: use the correct softwaremanger and you'll be fine [12:29] oCean_: can u name some software manager? [12:30] e-DIO-t smells like an upstart issue [12:30] lol [12:30] X3, sorry, didn't want to "nit-pick" :) ... when I saw that fstab is not run by root at boot and I was shocked. Either that statement was wrong or I have no clue (anymore) as how a system boots [12:30] !apt-get | ljsoftnet [12:30] ljsoftnet: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[12:31] for some reason i can't use smb:// to mount a shared windows folder [12:31] lo [12:31] candyban: well root is not a normal user [12:32] candyban: idk any linux that boots into root [12:32] failing to get openldap set up, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313472 seems incorret [12:32] X3 :P but i can't get WHY :) [12:32] or the orig db is hidden in some secret place while i have to remove it [12:32] X3, (nitpicking) actually "root" it is a normal user ... it's just the userid that gives him special powers :p [12:32] i m new to ubuntu plz help me to install and configure JMF api to java in ubuntu [12:32] plz help [12:33] e-DIO-t: if the NFS dirs dont have read and write permission onboot they will not mount since the system is not logged automatically to root [12:33] and since they only have root permissions [12:34] a normal user cant mount them period === _rwc_osa is now known as _rwc [12:34] then u need sudo [12:34] X3 nosquashroot option? [12:34] well X3: i could even agree with you but so...why the FKC it works on the other server?! [12:34] ALTERNATIVLEY give them nfs dirs 777 permissions and be done with it [12:36] i m newbe plz help me to install JMF api to java in ubuntu [12:37] how can I change the scree saver app to the `xlockmore'? [12:37] <`jan> hi does anyone have suggestion of good foss webmail system? i dont like squirrelmail, or citadel.. is there anything that resembles microsoft outlook web access? [12:37] e-DIO-t the no root squash option is worth looking ingto [12:37] e-DIO-t: idk about your other setup double check it and emulate every condition write permissions must be allowed for a nfs dir to mount otherwise use some fakeroot option but idk about that [12:37] jan: i'm using cubemail [12:37] `jan, zimbra? [12:38] `jan: roundcube is nice. I haven't used OWA much, so I don't know how much it resembles it. [12:38] e-DIO-t, by default you are not allowed to connect to nfs mounts as root (as that would give the client "full" access on the export) [12:38] e-DIO-t, did you run mount -a as a regular user or as root? [12:38] e-DIO-t, nosquashroot should fix that [12:39] <`jan> laclasse: zimbras web client is old fashioned :) [12:39] <`jan> rww: ill take a look. [12:39] <`jan> rww: do they have a mailserver too? or just the client [12:39] VCoolio: you about [12:40] atcho: using xscreensaver? run 'xscreensaver-demo' and hit settings [12:40] Hello :) [12:40] e-DIO-t, check your syslogs (on both servers) .... it will probably give some indication [12:40] X3: yes, what's up? better just ask the channel btw [12:40] hey guys, need some help with my graphics! [12:40] atcho and apt-get install electricsheep [12:40] `jan: I'm not sure what you mean? It's a web frontend for IMAP/SMTP/etc., it's not a mailserver itself. === _rwc is now known as _rwc_afk [12:40] X3, the two's are already the same. Same OS, same filesystem, same fstab, same mount versions, even same subnet. Same rights on remote nfs, same rights and same user on mount destination. [12:40] can anyone help me out regarding external hard disk and pen drive usage [12:41] <`jan> rww: just wondering as zimbra is a webserver too [12:41] `jan: you'd use a regular mailserver, like postfix, with it... [12:41] `jan: oh, okay [12:41] <`jan> rww: mailserver* [12:41] VCoolio: I tried what you said about check install the package is installed but only the old one runs not the comiled one [12:41] * rww hasn't used zimbra [12:41] e-DIO-t did you start nfs with lots of debug and tail that output? [12:41] when i kept my new pendrive it showed 7.4 GB [12:41] i'd be glad: but it's a NAS embedded implementation [12:42] and when i added a file and deleted it off it shows 7.3 GB [12:42] e-DIO-t, can you paste your /etc/exports somewhere ? [12:42] day [12:42] e-DIO-t, together with the ips of both boxes and the /etc/fstab [12:42] First in ubuntu 9.04 we used to have a software something called screen recorder isn't it available now? [12:42] vamshi because that file is in use [12:42] X3: you should have removed the old one first; you can still do that; if it takes the compiled one with it, the .deb is still in the folder where you built it, so dpkg -i file.deb and it's installed again [12:42] even my external hard disk which showd at first 498 GB now shows only 465GB [12:43] wait, giving a try with nosquashroot, then i'll dump the right line of log from nas too...perhaps :P [12:43] vamshi usd drive will often write after remooal/eject [12:43] e-DIO-t, it's been several years since I worked with nfs and there were some snags, but overall it was quite straight forward [12:43] AAA i did not get you [12:44] how can I use `xlockmore' as the default screen-saver?

[12:49] #programming [12:49] i can't access it: it's a wdnas with no enables SSH [12:49] vamshi, 500GB advertised by hd manufactureres = base10 (so 1KB = 1000 bytes) ... filesystem uses base2 (2^10) which is 1KB = 1024 bytes [12:49] what's the info in that file ?

I have certain services which depend on network being initialized (snmpd, conntrackd) ... yet the scripts fail "randomly" (sometimes they work, sometimes they don't) and the error I get in syslog boils down to the fact that the network was not available when the daemon tried to start [13:07] AdvoWork ficonfig -a <-- your wifi device should be in that output [13:08] atcho, do you speak spanish or portuguese by any luck?

[13:35] noahir, since there is no BolgenOS on SourceForge anymore [13:35] vamshi, hmm ok [13:35] but not able to enter into it [13:35] Beyecixramd: not a laptop. a desktop [13:35] noahir, at least Ubuntu actually has downloadable files.. lol [13:35] NthDegree: yes i know [13:35] vamshi, run sudo update-grub [13:35] gbillings: I'm sorry, but Fn shortcuts are embedded into the hardware, for non-Mac machines at least [13:35] BolgenOS is just ubuntu with themes [13:36] and thats the point ^^ [13:36] gbillings: you mean like Fn + F4 = louder volume? [13:36] BluesKaj, will try it out [13:36] noahir: stupid IMHO [13:36] vamshi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074973 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1094328 see second one first [13:36] vamshi, first do as said by BluesKaj [13:36] Beyecixramd: i mean fn + f1 has an icon for word processsing. if i type fn + f1 there is no response [13:36] Beyecixramd: it isnt its genial ...it was on TV !!! [13:37] gbillings: because.... that's a Windows key combination... [13:37] AAA http://paste.ubuntu.com/454956/ [13:37] Hi I am using ubuntu 9.10 but I am not able to stop or start videos of youtube in my firefox browser using my mouse click. I have adobe flash plugin installed what must be the problem? [13:37] gbillings: the best thing you could do is assign a new command to that key [13:37] gbillings: in the same window, add a new command to OpenOffice.org writer, for example, Abiword, or whatever you'd like to start [13:37] Beyecixramd: then how do i do that? if i type fn+f1 in the keyboard shortcuts it only picks up f1 [13:38] Mkools: dont use flash player [13:38] gbillings: does that keyboard need drivers in Windows? [13:38] noahir, he can't avoid it with FF [13:38] noahir: Then what to use? [13:38] gbillings: do you need to install a CD, or download something in order to the keyboard to work properly [13:38] noahir, FF on current Ubuntu lacks H.264 with HTML5 needed for YT HTML5 support [13:38] Beyecixramd: it came with a cd but i dont know what to do with it. only for windows [13:39] NthDegree: with Fx, Flash is easily avoidable :\ [13:39] Beyecixramd, orly? [13:39] Also ubuntu resp. canonical should prevent users to use flash on x64 machines [13:39] noahir, why? [13:39] I have 64-bit Flash from Adobe's alpha refreshes [13:40] gbillings: there you have it. Your keyboard has specific functions that are Windows-only... try to searh your KB model and linux, maybe there are community driverts, I'm sorry i can't do anything else about that :( [13:40] Flash will always have security issues because of what it is and how it works [13:40] NthDegree: i mean, there's a script that adds H.264 support for Fx [13:40] Beyecixramd, sweet! :D [13:40] noahir: no, Canonical shouldn't prevent users to *anything* [13:40] (too bad i'm on epiphany though) [13:41] they should cuz of part of winbuntu users :X [13:41] noahir: that's how Windows and Mac OS X works... and we don't want another clone, right? [13:41] Beyecixramd: alright thank you anyways ill go search the world wide web for answers :_ [13:41] sorry guys, went off to get some luncheon: My sound problem is quite simply I get no sound though my web browser [13:41] however I searched and looked aound and it seems there are 20 different fixes for it... [13:41] NthDegree: does Epiphany accept community scripts? [13:41] Beyecixramd, yeah.. I think so [13:41] JP1: play some sound in your browser, and go to the sound control panel [13:41] I didnt really fancy downloading a few gigabytes of gubbins to check whether the most convincing of them worked, so I though I shoud ask [13:41] JP1: maybe the browser is muted [13:41] Beyecixramd, they also have greasemonkey too [13:41] In the control pannel it says no application is running sound [13:42] NthDegree: try to use that script, it could work [13:42] but it flashes periodically with ALSA [13:42] JP1: are you running sound in the browser? [13:42] JP1: the sound pipe to the browser isn't created until sound actually starts playing [13:42] btw is here alternative downloader like jdownloader ? [13:43] yes, I am playing (or trying to play) some sound, in the audio control in the applications bit it says no applications are using sound, but every now and then I get a vey quick flash of "ALSA... something something" [13:43] noahir, tuxload [13:43] JP1: all other apps run normally [13:43] ? [13:43] syste sounds, on box music etc. fine [13:43] jp1, do u have 2 sound cards? [13:43] with realplayer or VLC, sound is fine, it just browser [13:43] penne: can you point me to source code ? :X [13:44] No - just the onboard, nothing else. WHen I do a hardware scan in the terminal I oly have one sound device and that is the onboard [13:44] noahir, its a perl script...runs fine on my little nas, just command line, no gui [13:44] penne: yep thats great [13:44] noahir: NthDegree: Then what should I use? [13:44] penne: but cant find it...only some pages in german [13:45] noahir, ask google...there should be a svn .... [13:45] Mkools, are you on 64-bit Ubuntu? [13:45] Mkools: html5 [13:45] NthDegree: yep [13:45] Mkools, if you are then you need to get the 64-bit alpha plugin [13:45] noahir: HTML with ogg/vp8 ftw [13:45] which Adobe no longer distribute [13:45] HTML5* [13:46] Mkools, and no, Ubuntu won't ship it due to the fact it is alpha software [13:46] Beyecixramd: yep but vp8 isnt that great as h.264 ;X [13:46] noahir: that's your opinion ;) [13:46] noahir, debatable.. in some cases one is better than the other [13:46] h264 cannot be played on x64. [13:47] noahir: i hate H.264 because it's FRIGGIN EXPENSIVE [13:47] Bishop_, yes it can be... [13:47] ...embedded in a browser. [13:47] noahir: let's not forget the fact that's closed source software :) [13:47] Beyecixramd: i know..same to me...but that said dev of vp8 ;) not me [13:47] Bishop_, what about Google Chrome x86_64? [13:47] noahir, isnt tuxload in the repo? [13:47] i tried it. [13:47] didn't work (3 weeks ago). [13:47] Bishop_, it worked for me on YouTube === omgjoz|JAP is now known as omgjoz [13:47] though that was on Slackware, not Ubuntu [13:48] @penne and co. : Ive already reinstalled the default version of ALSA (.21 ?) and my computer clearly knwos I have one sound card, it works on everything but the web browser :/ [13:48] i tried chrome64 (not32-bit) [13:48] JP1, r u using ff? [13:48] I tried Chrome 64-bit [13:48] Yes [13:48] I am confused with your debate, what is the final result? [13:48] well better try chromium and not chrome :P [13:49] jp1: do u have in youtube no sound? [13:49] Mkools, go get 64-bit flash or use Google Chrome [13:49] penne: yes, any website - no sound [13:49] i dont remember, maybe it was chromium. [13:49] Mkools, the Flash from the Ubuntu package is 32-bit [13:49] Mkools: go get 64bit flash alpha prerelease without hole or Chromium with html5 support [13:49] and maybe it has improved last month. [13:49] noahir, isn't one without hole [13:49] lol [13:49] i know [13:49] known hole [13:49] ^^ [13:50] isn't one without known hole [13:50] they don't ship 64-bit alpha anymore [13:50] oh [13:50] i know now why i dont use flash [13:50] is piece of shi...Yes im keeping language ops [13:50] and one can blame apple for that [13:50] JP1, wut kind of addons do u have installed? [13:50] nohair:NthDegree: Are both freeware? [13:50] apple is ok [13:50] Mkools: chromium is open source [13:50] Mkools, yes.. both are free as in cost [13:51] he [13:51] hello [13:51] penne: On Mozilla, whatever its told me to install [13:51] hi all [13:51] Mkools, Google Chrome is free as in cost (not freedom) and Chromium is free as in cost and freedom [13:51] 好 [13:51] NthDegree: so thats the point to use chromium and not chrome [13:52] Mkools, Chrome is a binary release of Chromium endorsed by Google [13:52] abc11: i saw that symbol [13:52] jp1: wut addons exactly? [13:52] noahir, anyone who's moaning about Flash hardly cares much for freedom lol [13:52] NthDegree: teach him ! [13:53] jp1: rename the ~/mozilla dir to mozilla_old and restart ur browser [13:53] I have a graphic problem. I am getting artefacts and I believe that they are caused by missing gpu drivers.

[13:53] traveler1: run gpu-z in winxp.

Only problem is just those artefacts. i don't believe that intg. gpu is broken [13:56] any help will be appreciated [13:56] penne: so dont renae it at all :D [13:56] noahir, great firewall is a silly little media story [13:56] abhi_nav: he sended rar files with malware to freenode as he did to google === guy is now known as Guest51838 [13:56] So is there a way to fix this? [13:56] noahir, the censorship in china isn't much different to what other countries have [13:56] noahir: NthDegree: Can you please provide me the url for both?

[14:02] chatur: ask winehq [14:02] Icy_: almost everyone here has experience with Lucid, just ask your question [14:02] !ask [14:02] 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. :-) [14:02] hi got a question.. i need to rename user.. found that i could do it with usermod -l command ... correct syntax is usermod -l old_name new_name ?

[14:03] jp1 the .mozilla folder is in ur Home directory.......it is hidden [14:03] noahir: ? [14:03] Icy_, you should have ethernet cable connected or wifi button on for whatever you want to connect to [14:03] Mkools: in console type chromium [14:03] try : mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla_old [14:04] NthDegree, what i got was VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 03) [14:04] the chrome google browser icon is unter apps, internet......if not, u installed the wrong chromium browser [14:04] penne:ok, its renamed, then restart browser yes ?

[14:05] cba123 is it flash-nonfree that you installed? [14:05] Traveler1, i'm pretty sure all appropriate drives are installed OOTB [14:06] Mkools: ah maybe not in repo http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-chromium-google-chrome-web-browser-in-ubuntu.html [14:06] noahir: when I am typing chromium-bsu it is launching the game [14:06] Mkools: yeah [14:06] I right click on the icon to show the options( check for notifications etc.) and opened the network manager > wireless but all I could see is the network I added manually and not ones in the area ? [14:06] thats the point [14:06] sorry :X [14:06] Well, I guess I have to try external gpu [14:06] penne: just read somewhere that this command dont change home directory name, so that should be changed manualy, sounds ok too? [14:06] where is this wifi button located ? [14:06] does anyone else find that Skype calling in Ubuntu is crackly? [14:06] Hawkey^atWork, sure.... [14:06] zetheroo agree with that [14:07] cruiser2bruiser, Yeah. I'm also running 64bit. [14:07] cruiser2bruiser: no fix? [14:07] There is [14:07] adjust the settings of PulseAudio [14:07] Hawkey^atWork, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/ [14:07] NthDegree: which settings --- where? [14:07] cba123, aye that's right I am on amd64 and just for the record Adobe recently has stopped work on devleoping an x64 version of its flash players [14:08] how do I compile wifi radar then ? [14:08] /etc/pulse/daemon.conf [14:08] penne: my web browser just isn't loading anything now :/ [14:08] zetheroo, play with the fragments and priority settings [14:08] jp1. start the browser from console [14:08] cba123, have you tried reinstalling firefox as a starter [14:08] NthDegree: uhm ... I have no idea about that kinda stuff [14:08] penne: and... user rights are linked with UID right? so when user has new name, still he will have rights like on old name? [14:09] Ubuntu lucid won't shut down. when I use the shutdown command it will freeze on the plymuth screen (purple with ubuntu logo) [14:09] penne: command ? [14:09] jp1: firefox? [14:09] lorenzosu just to confirm its shutdown with -P command you're using [14:09] penne:yes [14:09] anybody here use wifi radar ? [14:09] Hawkey^atWork, hmpf.....good question..hold on [14:10] cruiser2bruiser: thats not entirely true that they have stopped.. but they havent really said what their plans are either. [14:10] Don't suppose if anyone know if the GMA950 in an Aspire One should play flash (iplayer h.264) in full screen without choppiness? [14:10] cruiser2bruiser, sorry I explained the wrong thing: i shut down with the menu [14:10] Dr_Willis that's right should have worded that correctly [14:10] NthDegree: default-fragments = 8 .... is that good? [14:10] cruiser2bruiser, system -> shut down.. [14:10] cruiser2bruiser: their web site should be been better worded also. :) [14:10] lorenzosu try the command > shutdown -P now [14:11] cruiser2bruiser, Doing "sudo apt-get remove firefox" as we speak. I'll reinstall it with "sudo apt-get install firefox" when done, and let you know. [14:11] lorenzosu you'll have to sudo in order to run that [14:11] Icy_, I used log time ago. but network manger alone is sufficient. if you install any other network related ap then network manager will not funtion. [14:11] well..

[14:12] zetheroo, play with it [14:12] but sda6 is my ubuntu [14:12] zetheroo, there isn't one setting that works for everyone [14:13] zetheroo, change it, restart PA and test [14:13] NthDegree: main prob is I cannot test it... if I do a Skype test call it's always fine ... [14:13] zetheroo, then perhaps it isn't Skype [14:13] penne: says mozilla is not installed [14:14] cruiser2bruiser, Same thing the ubuntu logo appears, with the dots and the machine just frezes [14:14] jp1. force a reinstall of firefox...(u did something wrong...) [14:14] NthDegree: well when I call others the call quality is horrid ... but if I call from Windows it's perfect [14:14] zetheroo, you using a firewall?

[14:15] cruiser2bruiser, what's the sysrq key? [14:15] MaMoUs: sorry, i thought that existed, the "linux keylogger". guess it has been removed. [14:15] NthDegree: well I don't do anything out of the default setup in Windows and it works very well [14:15] lorenzosu should be the same key as print screen :) [14:16] zetheroo, play with the fragments setting then [14:16] and call someone you know lol [14:16] cruiser2bruiser, nothing happens [14:16] lorenzosu are you sure it the Alt Gr key (left alt) and the print screen with r e i s u b [14:16] cruiser2bruiser, the keyboard seems frozen too, no capslock or ctrl+altf1 etc [14:16] NthDegree: hehe ... yeah ... with the fragments ... what is the actual story ... is it how many fragments are being transmitted at a time? so if its crackling I should lessen it? [14:17] zetheroo, it's the number of fragments in the buffer [14:17] lorenzosu have you checked the sys logs maybe there's something obvius there ?? [14:17] fragments*size [14:17] Does anyone run dual monitors in LInux? [14:17] hi [14:17] I mean (fragments*size) == buffer [14:17] i use duel moniters [14:17] cruiser2bruiser,no I havnt [14:17] NthDegree: so is less "easier" for the system to deal with? [14:17] LegoDaniel I do, got it on Nvidia, got 3D desktop and compiz running [14:18] jp1: seamonkey-browser? [14:18] zetheroo, the larger the buffer, the more latency [14:18] and im running flux again with nvidia [14:18] How do I tell Linux to make my right monitor the main monitor because everything keeps popping up on the left one. [14:18] zetheroo, but the lower the buffer the more likely you are to stutter/pop/click [14:18] nvdia [14:18] Also, can I move things between monitors? [14:18] LegoDaniel go to system preferences monitor or if you're using propreitary drivers then use the custom program [14:18] NthDegree, nvidia?? [14:18] LegoDaniel: if using nvidia- the nvidia-settings tool has a check box for that.. Other then nvidia- I have no idea [14:18] NthDegree: hmm ok [14:18] 中文可以吗 [14:18] Yes nvidia here 6200 AGP 2 minitors. [14:19] coz_, what? [14:19] nvidia drivers [14:19] ifancho8: chat in the channel please.

I also happened to run bleachbit at the same time. [14:19] ok so do i have to change that [14:19] LegoDaniel: there a setting in the nvidia-settings tool that does it. I always ahve to change it. [14:19] this one /dev/sda6 [14:19] LegoDaniel: i enable twinview, set that checkbox, then restart the X server [14:19] Just installed Ubuntu so don't know if Compiz is running. [14:19] i cant connect to wired network using wicd 1.7.0 in Kubuntu 10.04 help please [14:19] Okay. [14:20] NthDegree: how do I restart PA? [14:20] LegoDaniel, if you just want windows to open on specific monitors and you are running compiz there are several ways to do this...the easiest is to go into place windows plugin under General tab and under "multi output mode" choose :use output device with pointer:" [14:20] LegoDaniel, this will open windows whereever your mouse cursor is rather...on which monitor your cursor is [14:20] damn computer froze up [14:21] Thank you. [14:21] I will try that now. [14:21] LegoDaniel: under nvidia settings tool the 'make this monitor the primary display' was needed for me.

[14:24] * NthDegree doesn't know if Ubuntu does user-level or system-level pulseaudio [14:24] 10.04 - lucid lynx I think that is [14:24] zetheroo, appears to be user-level (no need for sudo) [14:25] NthDegree: ok ... heh ... Skype crashed ... :P ... [14:25] zetheroo, would if you did that while skype is running [14:25] HOw can I get my google chrome to system tray??

[14:28] JP1: which hardware? [14:28] audio/video devices [14:29] lspci [14:29] shadyabhi: you could use 'alltray' I suppose [14:29] I remember I used it ealier, gave me all my USB contorllers and tht gubbins along with sound and graphics devices [14:29] JP1, sudo dmidecode [14:29] noahir: done [14:29] indus: Moo To You.

[14:33] I've started my desktop computer and now, after booting, only a black screen with the mouse appears [14:33] jelly-bean: there was some X bug i recall taht prevented the ctrl-g from working. [14:33] Dr_Willis: I did and then the `beep` command broke also. it used to at least come out of the speakers when I typed beep before that [14:33] theom3ga: have you used Ubuntu normally before' [14:33] ?* [14:33] jp1. try reinstalling the drivers [14:34] Beyecixramd, yep, I've been used it everyday [14:34] with no problem [14:34] jelly-bean: odd. Never had the beep command break on me., [14:34] and no configuration changes [14:34] theom3ga: so i assume that drivers are installed, then? [14:34] whoi [14:34] Beyecixramd, It's been working flawless for months [14:34] jelly-bean: i use the beep command to play little 'tunes' when my various servers boot up. :) so i know they are ready === sea is now known as Guest90375 [14:34] hi [14:34] Dr_Willis: ok there is it [14:34] theom3ga: hmmm no idea :( [14:34] I turn off music and I hear it coming out of pc speaker on `beep` cmd ;) [14:35] but I wanted it out of reg. speakers. both `beep` as well as ctrl+g terminal bell [14:35] jp1....have u installed the drivers right now? [14:35] I have a problem with my partitions. I was trying to resize one to give more space to Ubuntu but then gave me errors, so I quit it and for some reason I could not see the partitions at all .Nothing showed up in Gparted but i could see my XP (it's a dual boot). i used Testdisk in partedmagic to finally see my Ubuntu files but still can not boot to ether OS . Tried super grub disk but no joy. [14:35] Beyecixramd, is there a way of looking at gdm's log? maybe it says something there [14:35] echo -e '\a' # works thru pc speaker now [14:36] theom3ga: there should be a way, but i don't know, sorry [14:36] Dr_Willis, That works. It's a pita, but it works. [14:36] penne: so? [14:36] Hawkey^atWork, eh? [14:36] any way to make terminal bell come out my speakers/headphones? [14:36] cba123: theres other fixs out.

[14:38] Guys, what's the best way to mount a samba share with Ubuntu? [14:38] ComradeHaz`: depends on your needs. [14:38] Icy_: dhcp? static? [14:39] penne: yeah got it but i asked on rights stuff.. if they are linked to UID [14:39] comrade, putting it into fstab or just put the smb:// link into ur favorites [14:39] ComradeHaz`: gnomes file manager can see/access them.. or you can use fstab. or mount them with other tools [14:39] its static yea,not sure what you mean by dhcp [14:39] ive entered all the info to manually connect,but it dissconects me instantly [14:39] Hi I am trying to connect my wifes Dell windows 7 PC to my Dell Optiplex Ubuntu 10.04 via a Netgear wireless router [14:39] Icy_: IP conflict? [14:39] Icy_: how long? [14:40] like instantly [14:40] Dr_Willis, yeah, traditionally I'd use sshfs entry in fstab, but wondered if Ubuntu had any clever tricks up its sleeve [14:40] im not sure if it even connects [14:40] I am trying to access a shared folder and all it keeps saying is unable to mount [14:40] comes up with the dissoneccted box below the taskbar [14:40] So, what I am trying to do right now is point the media player at my music...... How would an ubuntu user do that? [14:40] Icy_: Wireless or wired? [14:40] Hawkey^atWork, wut exactly do u want to do ? renaming via bash about 100 users or just 1 or 2 ? [14:40] Icy_: could be ip conflict like p1l0t said or mac address filtering [14:40] wireless [14:40] ComradeHaz`: err.. sshfs is nto the same as the smbfs stuff.. but both can be done via fstab. [14:41] is there a way to see all of the availible networks in the area [14:41] without having to manually enter the info [14:41] ComradeHaz`: avoide shares with spaces in the names - makes it a lot easier in fstab also. :) [14:41] Icy_: yes [14:41] how ? :p [14:41] Icy_: Command-line type iwlist scan [14:41] let me go try that thank you [14:41] penne: just one [14:41] Sure, Dr_Willis. On both counts. So bottom line: fstab entries are still the best way with Ubuntu? === dozer is now known as Guest92352 [14:42] ComradeHaz`: deoends on your definition of 'best' [14:42] How do I make sure that my Windows is also displayed in GRUB? [14:42] ComradeHaz`: if you always have the servers going and want them to always be connected.. befor any users even log in.. well yes. fstab.. [14:42] I already edited the menu.lst file, but there is no effect on reboot. [14:42] anybody know how to compile a c source code with gcc? i was compiling a c file but i can't find it's output. [14:42] It seems that the semantics changed. [14:42] Hawkey^atWork, use the commands posted on the page above....then do a "find" on the the system dir to correct the uids [14:43] need help to connect to my wifes windows 7 shared folder [14:43] arinda: look for a file called a.out perhaps? [14:43] I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst.

[14:45] Martijnvdc: that shouldn't matter. I also deleted lots of automatic kernels and they are also still displayed. [14:46] ComradeHaz`: places > network, then browse around; in terminal you can do "sudo smbtree" to find shares [14:46] yer, tried that [14:46] to install mozbot i need to install these packages: " perl wget Net::IRC Net::SMTP IO::Select IO::Pipe " what are their name under ubuntu so that i can install them? [14:46] Martijnvdc: it seems it is not picking up the changes I wrote to /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:46] oh! [14:46] Martijnvdc: maybe there is another file for the new grub now? [14:46] just a second :p [14:46] maybe Music Player can't do it. [14:46] grub2 uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg [14:47] penne [14:47] do you have a grub.conf? file? [14:47] grub2 uses /etc/default/grub/.... [14:47] comes up with eth0 and lo [14:47] and alot of lines of data i dont understand :P [14:47] and etc/grub.... [14:47] nothing that looks like network info [14:47] pozic: if you have grubpc aka grub2 that wont work [14:47] Tootoot222: ok, that's it. [14:47] icy...is it a usb wlan stick or wut? [14:47] Is there a safe way to add the Windows entry? [14:48] By safe, I mean something with a GUI for example that does some extra checks?

[14:48] Icy_: It doesn't seem that your wireless card is up. Does sudo ifconfig -a display anything extra? [14:48] icy...no wireless card?

[15:04] IdleOne, may I pm you? regarding bot [15:05] aeon-ltd: that is what i think I'm going to have to do, i had did a fresh install and got all my stuff back on it but then noticed that it split my linux into 4 diff. partitions ,2 swops and 2 40 gig partitions. one with just a lost and fond on it [15:05] aeon-ltd: didn't find it in gconf-edit... [15:05] How can I figure out what video driver I'm using? [15:05] IdleOne, you there? [15:06] I blacklisted nouveau and lsmod shows that it is no longer loaded (same w/ cat /proc/modules) but I still have a display driver that can handle compiz [15:06] rmrfslash: "grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log" may help [15:06] good morning [15:06] rmrfslash, sudo lshw -C video [15:07] who knew it was so hard to connec to the internet :p === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 [15:08] so, I've just updated from 9.10 to 10.04 and I've some interesting issues. First, my laptop (Lenovo T60P) had a perfectly working display but when I docked it and used the lenovo desk screen (dual display) the monitor showed 'invalid display' and had a... shakey?... aspect to the background which eventually dropped off. [15:08] I used the nomodeset option from the release notes [15:08] but... has anyone else seen this? [15:09] I mean, from my reading of the bug reports, it seemed the issues were either embedded or complete [15:09] and not simply with one display vs the other [15:09] nomodeset did fix this [15:09] second issue is more frustrating - my wireless adapter is simply missing [15:10] (yay for connected docks) [15:10] how to make lkl Auto start when i login my user ? [15:10] i know how you feel tdechman :p === omgjoz is now known as PLSDONTPUTBRASIL [15:10] MaMoUs: system > preferences > startup applications > add [15:11] I've got a ati5870 working fine with 2 monitors. Is it possible to get three monitors using this one card via flgrx or the radeon-driver? [15:11] i did try not working === PLSDONTPUTBRASIL is now known as omgjoz [15:11] aeon-ltd: do you think there is a command i can put in to see what my grub has and if it is fixable? [15:11] Icy: you too? [15:12] not really [15:12] but yes really :p [15:12] dmesg does not show any issues (only an issue with the CD I am listening too - which cleared up when I reloaded the CD) [15:12] doughed2003: i don't think so [15:12] Icy: box 1 works and box 2 doesn't ? :-P [15:12] i guess [15:13] after failing to install ubuntu on my external (and putting it on my C:\ instead ._.) im having trouble connecting to the internet with ubuntu lol [15:13] Please, help. I installed linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic yesterday and my wireless worked perfectly with ath5k module. After I restard it don't work anymore, neither wlan0 exists in "ifconfig -a". What's happening? [15:13] darn!! i just got compiz cube working the way i like ! lol [15:13] Why doesn't https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 simply contain a "add this for Windows" section? [15:13] nowireless: me too [15:13] heihei [15:13] nowireless: you desactivated the wifi with the button of your laptop ? [15:13] has anyone used denyhosts? [15:14] ya [15:14] pozic: becouse os-prober should find windows ? [15:14] erUSUL: It's a desktop. :D I'm using an USB wireless device. [15:14] rapid: does it work for you? [15:14] aeon-ltd: can i save those types of settings [15:14] acovrig: what about that? [15:14] arg - mine is a laptop - and it's enabled [15:15] erUSUL: it doesn't because the mount.ntfs is broken. [15:15] nowireless: try modprobing the module by hand « sudo modprobe ath5k » ? [15:15] shadyabhi: I have 2 boxes, 1 debian, 1 ubuntu, both running same version, same .conf file, why does 1 block me an the other not? [15:15] erUSUL: I just want to specify on which harddrive it is. [15:15] acovrig, it worked from memory yeah [15:15] erUSUL: without any automatic garbage. [15:15] pozic: i can post the script from karmics grub2 if you want [15:15] How do I check to see if my dvd burner is functioning correctly? I have a DVD, but it won't play. [15:15] acovrig: any firewalls installed? [15:15] erUSUL: what do you mean? [15:15] erUSUL: I am already looking at 30_os-prober [15:16] shadyabhi: not that I know of [15:16] hey everyone, does anyone have a tip about an easy way to setup a chroot jail for SFTP/SSH? [15:16] acovrig: "sudo iptables -L" and see if you have any rules set [15:16] acovrig, make sure the ip for either machine is in the conf there's a option to not block certain hosts or whatever [15:16] erUSUL: it seems the 40_custom file is what I need. [15:16] Speiros, won't play anything or ? [15:16] It won't play a DVD. I think it plays cds'. [15:16] erUSUL: I just don't know what to put in it. [15:16] shadyabhi: I am sshing from the LAN, it blocks me the instant I start it, and I am currently in a ssh connection [15:16] pozic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/455002/ its name is /etc/grub.d/20_windows_xp ( you can use another name ) modify it to suit your needs/system [15:17] BluesKaj: It is a DVD burner [15:17] hi [15:17] pozic: it has to be executable ( so chmod +x it ) [15:17] !medibuntu | Speiros [15:17] Speiros: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:17] hi slow-motion [15:17] shadyabhi: lots of 'ACCEPT' [15:17] erUSUL: The command worked, but nothing happens. Useful info: My device is connected but not light thre lights. [15:17] erUSUL: can I just paste that in 40_custom? [15:17] erUSUL: that is the stuff between EOF? [15:17] BluesKaj: Thanks for that. Much appreciated. [15:17] the* [15:17] shadyabhi: u want my denyhosts.conf file>pastebin? [15:18] acovrig: so you have a firewall installed... ya.. paste it' [15:18] erUSUL: I will try it anyway. [15:18] pozic: i really dunno. just use a new file it is proven to work [15:18] acovrig, did u check http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#3_7 [15:18] Speiros, as well open your package manager and enable 3rd party sources and canonical partners , then sudo aptitude update. [15:19] BluesKaj: Will do, thanks [15:19] erUSUL: rebooting. Thanks. [15:19] pozic: sudo update-grub [15:19] pozic: [15:19] Speiros, then install ubunt-restricted-extras if not already installed [15:20] BluesKaj: Okay. [15:20] err, ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:20] I already tried to reinstall linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic, but it didn't changed the scenario. :S [15:21] hello together i have xubuntu 10.04 installed but i have onbe problem each start, skype and pdigin starts automatically after i logged in but i didn't kno why [15:21] nowireless: what wireless program are you useing? [15:22] technikfreak: session manager perhaps has 'saved' them as being auto ran. I dont use xfce. so can only suggest to look in the sessions settings [15:22] Where do I add default search domains i.e. so I can ssh into a hostname w/o having to supply the entire fqdn [15:23] like ssh node instead of ssh node.foo.com [15:23] shadyabhi: http://pastebin.com/46Hx31jk has iptables -L denyhosts conf and sshd_conf [15:23] doughed2003: wireless module? ath5k [15:23] adding "foo.com" to the default search domains [15:23] rmrfslash: /etc/hosts [15:23] rmrfslash: in the third column you can add an alias [15:24] That's not what I mean [15:24] nowireless: no the gui. wicd ? [15:24] you can add search domains.... I don't want to add an alias for every possible machine [15:24] ok thx Dr_Willis [15:24] rapid: yes, but I don't know what ip I am going to have if I go somewhere, and it is blocking every login, not just bad ones [15:24] guys, i'm having trouble networking to a windows system. my gf has shared a folder for me to pick up on my ubuntu system (she's on windows vista) and the folder shows up, but when i try to open it, it tells me "Unable to mount location." [15:25] rmrfslash: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf [15:25] acovrig, oh sorry, i've misunderstood [15:25] doughed2003: ermm, network-manager?! [15:25] Ubuntu default. [15:25] acovrig, there's no deny hosts log? [15:26] I think you add them to supercede-domain in /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf [15:26] rapid: its ok, but very annoying that it blocks every login attempt, even correct ones, I am in ssh now, and it attempts to block my current connection when I start it [15:26] rather, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [15:26] rapid: yes there is, but it just says that it has ben blocked, not why [15:26] not sure of course how to reload this file but.... [15:26] let me try a logout/login [15:26] actually, that shouldn't work [15:27] rmrfslash: is there an init.d script for it? [15:27] rmrfslash: probably by sudo kill -HUP dhclient. [15:27] nowireless: try the wicd program .it works better . well for me it does. you will need to connect with an ethernet cable and go to synaptic and un-install network manager and then install wicd [15:27] acovrig: u have /etc/hosts.deny file? [15:27] yes [15:28] shadyabhi: and I get added to it the instant I start denyhosts [15:28] hello, [15:28] doughed2003: thx for the suggestion, I'll try it to see if it works. :) [15:28] theres a back up somewhere which will readd it [15:28] was a pain [15:28] nowireless: it's a belkin right? [15:28] OK that worked [15:28] but not any host.. [15:29] I'm having a problem with a linux/module.h file the compiler doesn't see it, but i've sort of wrote the correct path /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include -- that's where the linux/module.h is... can't figure out what's the problem [15:30] shadyabhi: why do I get added to deny.hosts when I start it? [15:30] Hello all. Might anyone have an idea as to why I can't get my full 1280x1024 resolution while using my TRENDnet KVM? It says it supports Linux, yet my issue remains. Monitor only runs at 1024x768. I don't think it's the KVM, because Windows works fine on it. Thoughts? [15:30] has anyone been able to get a broadcom 4318 wireless chipset to work on 10.04? [15:31] whats does you "SYSLOG_REPORT" say? [15:31] acovrig: whats does you "SYSLOG_REPORT" say? [15:31] is there a way to change the maximum screen size for xrandr? [15:32] anyone install Fire Vox for MOzzila Firefox? [15:32] i have a 16:9 monitor with 1920x1080p but xorg has been giving me a lot of trouble configuring it [15:32] acovrig, they might be in /var/lib/denyhosts and added automatically once its restart. [15:33] shadyabhi: u mean 'cat /var/log/syslog'? [15:33] fintoad, what is fire vox? [15:33] Cajun_Lan_Man: Is it connected via DVI or RGB? [15:33] how can i mount a samba location? [15:33] ya.. is there anything relevant there... [15:33] acovrig: ya.. is there anything relevant there... [15:33] abhi_nav, it reads web pages for you [15:33] eoke: RGB [15:33] azlon: via command line, fstab, or gnome gui. Or some other tools can help in automating it. [15:33] fintoad, !!! [15:34] eoke: But there is a DVI to RGB adapter between the PC and the cable going to the KVM [15:34] Dr_Willis, so something like this: sudo mount smb://name/location /mnt/foldername === orneo121 is now known as orneo1212 [15:34] abhi_nav, http://clickspeak.clcworld.net/ [15:34] Cajun_Lan_Man: KVM kills all useful information... [15:34] azlon: u want them to be started at boot time? [15:34] Cajun_Lan_Man: Normally when you connect via DVI the computer can get information about your monitors capabilities EDID. [15:35] azlon: browse it with nautilus (places > network); if you want to use mount command read up on cifs (you're going to need mount -t cifs) [15:35] abhi_nav: it works in firefox [15:35] shadyabhi, eventually, but right now i would settle for anything [15:35] eoke: seems like I should be able to force Ubuntu to just understand that my monitor can do 1280x1024 [15:35] fintoad, ok [15:35] Cajun_Lan_Man: Because you're using a converter your monitor is not able to get this data. You can export it though whilst connected to it via DVI and then manually specify it in your Xorg using the "CustomEDID" option. [15:36] shadyabhi: no, but rapid did have a good idea, and yes my host was listed in /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts [15:36] im confused, dpkg keeps telling me "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state", I can't upgrade it, reinstall it, remove it, force it to remove, purge... nothing [15:36] azlon: with nautilus, ctrl+l to open the go-to bar, and put smb://server/share/ [15:36] eoke: that sounds like a great idea. [15:36] eoke: would that be done with the *gasp* CLI? [15:36] Tootoot222, but i want it mounted in my /mnt folder... i can access the folder from nautilus [15:37] azlon: http://linux-junky.blogspot.com/2010/02/auto-mounting-partitions-samba-shares_21.html [15:37] abhi_nav: I need to make a symlink to the Java plugin, but can't find it [15:37] fintoad, busy right now. [15:37] Tootoot222 [15:37] ok [15:37] Cajun_Lan_Man: Do you have an nvidia graphics card? [15:37] you can sudo mount -t cfis -o username=name /mnt [15:37] azlon: ^ [15:37] shadyabhi, awesome, thanks! [15:37] tnx for the help [15:37] worked fine [15:37] ifancho: sweet [15:38] Tootoot222, thanks! [15:38] shadyabhi: it is a good thing that I found this, started daemon yesterday, now I have 15 in my denyhosts/hosts file! (on the debian box-port22, ubuntu box uses 2222) [15:38] azlon: use "-o" option with mount if you have password protected shares [15:38] anyone know how to find Java plugin in ubunutu [15:38] eoke: intel [15:38] eoke: onboard [15:38] fintoad: you have to enable the partener repo [15:38] shadyabhi: and about a month ago, I got a email (setup in .profile) saying that someone loged on from Romania [15:38] By the way [15:38] is there a way to have Gmail (or Google Reader!) notifications on the indicator applet? [15:38] sequethin, sudo fuser -vki -term /var/lib/dpkg/lock then sudo dpkg --configure -a [15:39] TooToo222: I have it installed, typed about:plugins in addy bar of firefox and it is listed but where is it on my pc [15:39] BluesKaj: will try thanks [15:39] acovrig: frankly, I am not much into this stuff . pls ask someone else... [15:39] I having a trouble when pressing ALT+TAB. Sometimes xorg doesn't feel that tab is already unpressed, and sends TAB event to the active application... [15:39] Does anyone have the same problem? [15:39] shadyabhi: thats ok, it works now [15:40] My mount.ntfs segfaults, while on other machine it works just fine. Is there some known good version which doesn't have this problem? [15:40] Having the true Mitsumi Classic keyboard :-\ [15:40] Cajun_Lan_Man: I've only ever acquired it from an nvidia card using their proprietary nvidia-settings tool. But theres something in the repos that might help read-edid [15:40] but that's for firefox, not for the ubuntu indicator applet :P [15:40] hello, baed on what does google set the location? For example, I want to use www.google.com.pe as my default search engine, how can I do that? [15:40] I can mount USB sticks on the same USB port without issues. [15:40] Does anyone have a software to overclock (or specifically downclock) ATI graphic cards? I've dried ATI Overdrive which comes with the drivers, however this doesn't let me downclock at all. ATI HD4870 [15:40] acovrig: how did u get the problem solved? [15:41] BluesKaj: your fuser command string results in invalid option "-t" [15:41] vkareh: r u talking to me [15:41] nope [15:41] ok [15:41] eoke: I just had another idea. My monitor has both a DVI and a RGB port on it. I may just use the RGB for my windows box, and the DVI for my Ubuntu box. That way I can bypass the KVM for video altogether. [15:41] sequethin, sudo dpkg --clear-avail [15:42] RGB port? [15:42] BluesKaj: ok --clear-avail is something i haven't tried [15:42] do you mean VGA? [15:42] hello. need to install kernel 2.6.33.5 in 10.04, do you have any good links for ubuntu howtos? thanks. [15:42] Cajun_Lan_Man: Yeah that works I do a similar thing the only down side is it can be a little slow to switch between the two. [15:42] rmrfslash: RGB = VGA [15:42] hmm, it now happens several days that all my letters show up uppercase as if I'd be using capslock. how do I fix that? It's not my keyboard since I swapped that already [15:43] my about:plugins shows a file named libnpjp2.so under Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_20, but I can't find a Java directory or the lib file [15:43] shadyabhi: my host was listed in /var/denyhosts/hosts file, so denyhosts was putting them in /etc/host.deny at startup [15:43] How am I supposed to mount an ntfs file system with only broken drivers? [15:43] eoke: I think I may even have to press a button on the monitor to get it to do so. Oh well. It will still allow me to have both at one desk. Space is precious where I have them. [15:43] The last update was done in March for the Ubuntu version. [15:43] acorvig: any reason you're not using iptables? [15:43] azlon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534 [15:43] acovrig: thanks for sharing [15:43] Two years ago ntfs-3g was working fine. [15:43] pozic, have u tried SUPERGRUBDISK [15:44] fintoad: I don't care about Grub at the moment. [15:44] hello, how can I specify google to search in my country? [15:44] fintoad: merely mounting it should work first. [15:44] BluesKaj: thanks but still same error [15:44] is it possible to have thumbnails of windows when hovering over items in the window list in the bottom panel, similar to what Windows 7 has? [15:44] this wil mount it [15:44] fintoad: when I brute-forced all the combinations the BIOS (I think) still couldn't find the disk. [15:44] gonzaloaf: By tld normally .co.uk for example [15:44] Pozic: ok but here is a link http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [15:45] gonzaloaf: http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en [15:45] fintoad: I am already there, but I am not going to download a CD. [15:45] rapid, You can set the language there, but not the country [15:46] pozic: ok, just trying to help [15:46] frxstrem, dockbarx will give you the icon style taskbar and also has an option for window previews [15:46] fintoad: all I want is a mount.ntfs command implementation that works or gives me an error message, not a segfault. [15:46] ks3: okay, thanks : [15:46] does anyone know how i can make the icons load on the left at startup and clean-up on the left as well? [15:46] eoke: I'm using the smallest of these 4, to give you an idea. If it wasn't so small I'd have a cheap nVidia card in it. http://www.itreviews.co.uk/graphics/normal/hardware/h809.jpg [15:46] Even read-only would be an acceptable solution for now. [15:46] pozic: I understand, seems like u have tried all I know [15:47] gonzaloaf, try adding your country's 2 letter abbreviation to google.com: www.google.com.uk for example [15:47] VCoolio, if i am trying to mount a folder from one ubuntu machine to another is it better to use samba or nfs? [15:47] Cajun_Lan_Man: I still think you'll be able to do it I've just never done it on an intel card to give you exact steps. [15:47] hrp2171, yeah, I know that I can use www.google.com.pe for my country, but I want to set it as default [15:47] did a search and some guy from australia uses: www.google.com.au [15:47] eoke: well you've pointed me in the right direction. I appreciate the help. [15:48] hrp2171, Does google base this configuration in a locale setting of Ubuntu? [15:48] Cajun_Lan_Man: No worries best of luck [15:48] rapid: can I use a custom mail command? [15:48] Does anybody find with Firefox they are unable to fast forward through certain flash videos? The same flash videos that are problematic in Firefox work perfectly in Chromium. Ideas? [15:48] acovrig, sure, you should be able to. I haven't used it in a while though [15:48] gonzaloaf: add as homepage or bookmark [15:48] /bin/ircnot [15:48] azlon: I never used nfs, try it and keep what suits you best [15:48] gonzaloaf, it's based on IP [15:48] gonzaloaf: What country are you trying to limit your results [15:49] rapid: do you know how? [15:49] eoke, I want to search as my country Peru [15:49] gonzaloaf, looks like creating a bookmark is your best bet [15:49] just went into my search settings and there's no country default option [15:49] just language [15:50] so basically once dpkg is mad at you there is nothing you can do? [15:50] can I list all package that are installed with apt-get? dpkg -l lists all packages, I just want the leaves, not packages installed as dependencies [15:50] sequethin, how about , sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename [15:50] tried [15:50] google.pe [15:50] gonzaloaf: google.com.pe [15:50] acovrig, not sure [15:50] sequethin: lol, what did you do? [15:50] /bin/ircnot [15:50] eoke, hrp2171: If I set the language of google as English it makes a global search, now I tried setting it as Spanish, I now it makes a local search www.google.com.pe [15:50] ls [15:50] eoke, yeah, I know that I can use www.google.com.pe for my country, but I want to set it as default [15:51] sequethin, so you tried sudo apt-get -f install too? [15:51] acovrig: I tried to run aptitude safe-upgrade, and apparently the packages for zend server ce are weird [15:51] /bin/ircnot [15:51] gonzaloaf, do you have a gmail account? [15:51] anyone know why after changing the mac address of my wireless card, I cant connect to the internet? ive been googling, but nothing reliable is turning up for me [15:51] just checking [15:51] thanks [15:51] BluesKaj: i tried that yes, i tried force, purge, reinstall... apt-get aptitude dpkg [15:51] ok [15:51] gonzaloaf: Not sure I follow but wouldn't you just set your home page to google.com.pe [15:51] If i change the mac address back to normal, then it connects fine, via nm-applet [15:51] going to try again maybe you have a magic touch, maybe it will work now that you said something [15:51] sequethin: did you try uninstalling them, then installing them? [15:52] acovrig: i can't! that's the problem! i can't remove it, it says I should reinstall before attempting to remove [15:52] /bin/ircnot [15:52] gz0: could be possible that your router was associated with your mac.. (i doubt it though, unless that was setup) [15:52] then when i try to reinstall it says i have to run dpkg configure, then when i run that it says i should reinstall, around and around i go [15:52] !dpkg hell [15:52] can anyone help me with some grub2 menu entries? [15:52] please PM if you have one or two good howtos on upgrading a kernel in ubuntu, specifically in 10.04. thanks.

With the above line in my fstab, I get a crash when mounting it. When I use the ntfs-3g command directly, I have no such issue and it all works. [16:06] DjAngo23, sketchup? [16:06] I think I have found a bug in Lucid (netbook if it matters) and SSH. I know what I`m doing and used it plenty in the past but it keeps asking for my password when loggin, altho the server has my key and pubkeyauth is enabled.. I removed everything ssh and re-did it all and it was ok but for no reason its started again.. [16:06] mawst, Google right ? [16:06] DjAngo23: I did my kitchen using blender probably a bit over kill though. [16:06] Is that working on Ubuntu ? [16:07] eoke, bit overkill yeah ;) [16:07] Not sure. [16:07] duffydack: you have to set the permissions right, possibly., [16:07] Just in order to be a bit more precise thant whith my pencil [16:07] What command is sent when you right click the network manager and disable networking? I want to send it via the CLI if possible, as well as the command to enable it. I have tried using ifconfig up down as well as start and stop networking, and combinations thereof to no avail. [16:07] duffydack: anyway, it is very unlikely that a bug was introduced in that feature since lots of people use it. [16:07] im losing faith in dpkg just a little here. rpm is starting to look better by the minute sigh! [16:08] sequethin: dpkg is a tool you normally should not use. [16:08] sequethin: aptitude is what you normally use. === mathk is now known as mathk_leaving [16:08] pozic: yes I realize that but aptitude and apt-get give me errors [16:08] VCoolio, that site worked like a charm! thanks! [16:08] related to dpkg [16:08] duffydack: does using ssh -v (for verbose) give a clue? [16:08] pozic, Ive been using it since feisty, with pubkeyauth, been fine.. nothing is changing on this server, its mine.. it worked without asking, now its asking, again. [16:08] sequethin: like what errors? [16:08] azlon: you're welcome [16:09] acovrig: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state [16:09] DjAngo23: qcad and dia are other possibilities [16:09] sequethin: sometimes packagers mess up, but that usually only happens with incompetent packagers in unpopular packages. [16:09] sequethin: did you try google? [16:09] I'm trying to remove this package but I cannot remove it because dpkg thinks i should reinstall it first. i cann't reinstall it because it's inconsisten [16:09] sequethin: sudo apt-get install -f [16:09] acovrig: google gave me pages of results and i tried about 10 different things from there, then i cam here [16:09] h00k: been there, done that [16:10] sequethin: and what happened after you did that? [16:10] Thanks eoke [16:10] pozic, When you say crash, do you mean the entire system, or just the mount command? [16:10] ks3: just the mount command. [16:10] it installed some packages then said dpkg quit unexpectedly and told me i had to run dpkg --configure -a, which takes me right back where I started [16:11] i just want this package to be removed [16:11] What command is sent when you right click the network manager and disable networking? I want to send it via the CLI if possible, as well as the command to enable it. I have tried using ifconfig up down as well as start and stop networking, and combinations thereof to no avail. [16:11] why doesn't `add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une` work? [16:11] pozic, So once it's booted, what happens if you run 'sudo mount /mnt/windows'? [16:12] acovrig: will need to add a repository with sudo [16:12] h00k: how? [16:12] acovrig: sudo add-apt-repository..etc' [16:12] Gwar: It's possible network manager is bringing them straight back up. [16:12] acovrig: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une [16:13] ahhh now my boss is bugging me. i'll have to go back to this later:( thanks for trying to help, I appreciate the efforts! === IPNixon__ is now known as IPNixon [16:13] h00k: that returns 'bash: add-apt-repository: command not found' [16:13] acovrig: which version of Ubuntu are you on? [16:14] This one should be easy I want to change my login screen on lucid, I can't find information on it anywhere, any help? [16:14] h00k: 9.04 [16:14] eoke, I do not think it is, because when i run ifconfig after, wlan0 is not up. It's just that after I put it back up, it hangs and wont connect until I right click the applett and disable/enable by hand [16:14] acovrig: that command doesn't exist in 9.04 [16:14] h00k: can I vi /etc/apt/sources.list [16:15] h00k: I'd assume it came in 10 :|\ [16:15] when will ubuntu support msn video chat ?????????????????????????????????????? [16:15] acovrig: yes, or you can add it in System -> Administration -> Software Sources, check to see if that PPA has a jaunty port [16:15] ubottu: punctuation | dr3mro [16:15] dr3mro: Punctuation is good, but its overuse hurts readability: Please refrain from adding many ?'s or !'s to the end of your sentences. See also !enter [16:15] dr3mro, when it magically becomes windows [16:16] MSN is a very much windows only program [16:16] dr3mro: clients like aMSN will.

'deb ppa://canonical-dx-team/une jaunty main'? [16:18] most of my friends are either on msn or yahoo and only one uses gtalk and in windows i can have voice video chat with them but in ubuntu i cant .... [16:18] dr3mro: have you thought about vmware, or something like it? [16:18] dr3mro: or wine.. [16:19] acovrig, are you serious ,, vmware for IM ... why the hassel ? [16:19] newb question: how do I change my login screen? [16:20] p1l0t, I only want to use GNU software ... that why i dont use wine or vmare [16:20] acovrig: In looking in this repository, I don't know that you're going to be able to use Unity on 9.04 [16:20] dr3mro, last time I checked, emesene and aMSN both supported video chat for MSN :) [16:20] guayja1, you need Ubuntu-Tweak and GDM2 [16:20] wine and vmware are bith GNU but they run non GNU [16:20] guayja1, they are not in the repos iirc so you have to google them. Ubuntu Tweek will let you change the background and GDM2 will let you change the theme [16:20] Gwar ok thanks, [16:21] h00k: lol, ok, do you know of anything like it for a netbook (I don't much care for the netbook version of ubuntu)? [16:21] guayja1: gdm2 = login screen, search gdm2setup on launchpad.net for configuration, or ubuntutweak [16:22] acovrig: anything like what, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Anything like Unity? Gnome-shell, I suppose. [16:23] I have a 250Gb clean hard drive, copletely formatted. What is the best partition scheme for speed.

I'm tying to install aegisubs from here http://www.aegisub.org/ [16:24] gbillings, it depends on what are you going to store on it [16:24] gbillings, seperate partitions is more a safety thing in case3 something crashes [16:24] hi.. what do I need to do to "restart" my audio? it became all choppy suddenly [16:24] lots of little file -> Reiser; general purpose -> ext4 [16:25] alright. so should i have a 20 gb / a 5gb swap and 50 gb /home?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:36] Every time you try to tweak something, it Fu**s up [17:36] And you have to re install everything [17:36] I have re installed Ubuntu at least 10 times in 3 months [17:36] osmodivs: what were you tweaking? [17:37] Sound [17:37] osmodivs, watch the language [17:37] p1l0t: I only have been running gnome system monitor and well it all of a sudden showed 100% cpu usage with no user run apps showing any cpu usage [17:37] I cant make my 5.1 sound system work, it only uses 3 speakers [17:37] * G69 Bem-Vindo ao Mata-Mata [17:37] backend ? wtf [17:37] !backend [17:37] !language | dominicdinada [17:37] dominicdinada: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:37] backend is the app in question [17:38] opps sorry [17:38] I tryed to GEDIT the pulse audio and thats when it all started [17:38] Weird, my ipod was working great with 9.10, but now with 10.04 (fresh install)I get nothing in dmesg when I plug it in. Tried two different ipod cables, no change. I know the hub it's plugged into is working properly because my USB keyboard is plugged into that hub. Google has been no help yet. Any suggestions? [17:38] guntbert: thanks bro [17:38] k laptop can go back into the closet... whoo-hoo [17:38] cannonball: try plugging it directly in to the usb port on computer, any difference in log if you tail it ? [17:39] Of note, this is a new ipod nano, 16 GB silver, just in case it matters. sno, will try. [17:39] twisted`: did it finally work four you? [17:39] p1l0t: backend is the app in question with 70+ % utilization [17:39] cannonball: Probably of little assistance but my partners ipod nano works fine with 10.04 32 and 64bit [17:39] One cuestion for UBUNTU experts, How do I add this address to the XChat? irc://irc.freenode.net/#yafaray [17:39] cannonball: if its a new ipod then maybe it has to be "activated" on an itunes capable system the first time? i have no idea really [17:40] osmodivs: Just /join #yafaray You're already on freenode. [17:40] osmodivs, add to auto join list in xchat [17:40] dominicdinada: backend is for printing I think [17:40] hmmm does anybody Else know what it is for ? [17:40] dominicdinada: backend is indeed the cups transmission thingy [17:40] could be. eoke was on to something though. I plugged it directly in to the computer, it saw it, mounted it, and started up rhythmbox. It used to do that when plugged into my hub on 9.10, but now with 10.04 it looks like I need to plugin direct. [17:41] I mean, do i have to write as it is in then ADD window? [17:41] it is not working [17:41] well someone was haxoring it it spiked upto 90% for 5 mins right before I killed it... [17:41] !cups [17:41] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [17:41] cannonball: Have you tried power cycling the hub might just be having a bad day. Also my hub gets upset attached to a KVM [17:42] would ubuntu ever go unmanaged? [17:42] Babalabon: Howos? [17:42] It didn't worked [17:43] dominicdinada: Were you just printing something or is this a common occurance? [17:43] eoke: I'll load some music on it, eject, then try on the hub again. it was quite plain that there was no dmesg output when plugging into the hub. Yes, I power cycled it twice...saw keyboard and mouse go away and come back and be recognized in dmesg, but never saw ipod in dmesg. Also, lsusb didn't see the ipod. [17:43] jpds: could the people that dev ubuntu, would they ever? [17:43] anyone with any ideas? [17:44] I have a question about removing wine [17:44] Babalabon: There's plenty of us and loads of organisations which depends on Ubuntu. === klan is now known as Klan [17:45] although I completely removed wine using synaptic folders are still showing in menu. Also there seem to be confiuration files which synaptic doesn't remove, even though I have stipulated 'complete' purge [17:45] i have a problem with sun-java6-jre...could anyone help? [17:45] It would be nice to be able to remove an application without having to go all over the filesystem looking for folders, especially when one doesn't know which or where! [17:45] livingdaylight, you could edit menus and unselect wine [17:45] If I had a question/suggestion that Id like the developers of ubuntu to include in future versions, how do I do that? [17:45] plz it's very important [17:46] livingdaylight: 'purge' will never remove user specific configuration files, such as those in your home directory. You will need to remove ~/.wine manually. [17:46] !brainstorm | Babalabon [17:46] Babalabon: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [17:46] Pici: could you help?

After I removed and reinstalled Spotify it didn't enter Menu because i had previously de-selected it [17:46] livingdaylight, removing the windows apps data automatically would be a bad thing. [17:46] ok w8 eoke and Pici [17:47] to tell you all about it [17:47] Pici: I removed .wine, but there are even more files further hidden elsewhere too! [17:47] wireshark: Please ask your question all on one line, it makes it much eaiser for the helpers here to follow. [17:47] ok Pici [17:47] livingdaylight, I agree with you, removing an app should remove the menu entry ... but in some case, it doesn't. [17:47] :) [17:49] Hi. I can't update anything.

[17:58] !smtp [17:58] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html [17:58] dominicdinada: could you help me? [17:59] wireshark: whats the problem [17:59] here is my problem----> http://pastebin.com/2K91ZD0K [17:59] p1l0t: I see. that would be problematic considering I don't have an optical drive. :P Thanks again everyone. [17:59] s_snake: Ubuntu has a list of sources or places from which it can get software, in this case you had an entry for a CD that you didn't have. So by unticking it Ubuntu fell back to the next best option of getting it over the internet. === andi is now known as Guest75697 [18:00] eoke: thanks. [18:00] eoke: did you saw my problem?

[18:03] wireshark: well the obvious first step would be to remove it. reinstall it or other [18:04] Yo yo yo [18:04] dominicdinada: i tried to remove it but i couldnt [18:04] ActionParsnip: yo yo yo [18:04] wireshark: did you get any warnings on install that the browsers were open ? [18:04] wireshark: reinstall? [18:04] dominicdinada: i try to open the synaptic [18:04] and says this [18:04] This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. [18:05] !aptfix | wireshark [18:05] How does one open the terminal? a friend told me about it and I forgot exactly what he told me. [18:05] wireshark: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [18:05] This isn't ubuntu related but you ugys are usually pretty nice and helpful -- I'm on Windows XP and I can't resolve an IP address -- it gets stuck on "acquiring IP address" and returns a 0.0.0.0 for the IP. Within Ubuntu or any livecd I can resolve an IP just fine. If I set the XP machine up for a static IP all if fine then too. Could this be a virus causing this problem? Some weird setting somewhere? I've disabled the Windo [18:05] mike_bowman: what is this? [18:05] wcchandler__, ##windows for windows support [18:05] the Terminal? [18:05] wireshark: this is the FOURTH time I have SAID, USE ONLY ONE AT A TIME [18:05] ActionParsnip: [18:05] dominicdinada: thx for the howto. The only problem i seem to have is postfix using domain.local as sender adress, it should be domain.com, how can i change that? [18:05] but how i can do this dominicdinada? [18:05] wireshark: have you run "apt-get update" after "dpkg --configure -a" [18:06] i don't know [18:06] yes eoke [18:06] wcchandler__: change dns to 8.8.8.8 . If the address is on LAN and static you could add an entry to your hosts file [18:06] wireshark: well there is software center/aptitude or synaptic.... close all but one of those [18:06] i don't have anything open [18:06] there are all closed [18:07] wcchandler__: otherwise you lan dns should resolv it, make sure its address is in your list of dns servers [18:07] I'm using bluetooth stereo headphones with my system. How can I tell by the cli if the headphones are in use so I can control their volume rather than Master volume (which doesn't effect the headphone volume) by the cli? [18:07] did you try the -f (force) [18:07] sudo apt-get install -f [18:07] !bluetooth [18:07] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:08] subone: o suppose you could use alsamixer for the volume of input/ouptut devices [18:08] ActionParsnip: why would that work? I'm not able to acquire an IP from the router... It's not a domain name resolution problem [18:08] dominicdinada: thx for the howto. The only problem i seem to have is postfix using domain.local as sender adress, it should be domain.com, how can i change that? [18:08] x-calibur: I have not used local domains I have always used say Gmail... or other smtp servers not local ones [18:08] i gave this command eoke dpkg --configure -a and it says [18:08] dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [18:08] [18:08] wcchandler__: are you using the right driver? [18:08] where do i change that in my config files? [18:08] which another process is this? [18:08] grrrr [18:09] x-calibur: Like i said I have not used local mailers... i use phpmailer. [18:09] what is the ati graphics driver package? [18:09] oh ok tx anyway [18:09] wireshark: Try "ps ax | grep dpkg" [18:09] ActionParsnip: that was a thought, but if I had a bad driver wouldn't it not work at all rather than not work with DHCP? [18:09] wireshark: run the command ubottu gave. It will free up the packages. Make sure there are no updates or installs going and close synaptic / aptitude / software centre [18:10] ActionParsnip: I have told him that 4 times [18:10] sudo apt-get install -f [18:10] this? [18:10] wcchandler__: not sure there fellah.i'd ask in ##windows [18:10] Can anyone direct me to a link describing how an Ubuntu minimal command-line install is any different from the Debian miniaml install?

Ubuntu related questions are fielded in offtopic [18:12] ActionParsnip: ?

[18:13] Ok, screw this, I dont need assholes giving me a hard time for nothing. Is it any wonder everyone thinks the ops in here are morons?

[18:14] wireshark: Stick with what dominicdinada is telling you for the time being, I didn't realise he was already assisting you when you asked me by name again.

[18:14] fix apt* [18:15] Wireshark: if asked then I guess so, I can't read your screen so you will have to read and see what's going on [18:15] ActionParsnip: there is one process 1835 [18:15] wireshark: the command usbottu gave will fix your packages lock dude :) [18:15] ActionParsnip: which one [18:15] wireshark: then kill it or reboot [18:16] you sent it to me a lot of commands [18:16] wireshark: ok, the text ubottu gives you.

[18:29] durt, issued "synclient TouchPadOff=1" [18:29] !backports | cousin_mario [18:29] cousin_mario: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [18:29] clayg, =0 [18:29] Hi. I got SmartQ V5 device with Ubuntu 5.5 installed. Sadly, but wifi suddenly died. I do know where to get updates for software, installed on it. The question is - how do I find the dependencies of particular package, to update it "offline"? And how do I update things offline in ubuntu? [18:30] clayg, er, nevermind [18:30] cousin_mario: In the main repositories, likely never, find a PPA (mozilla team..) or see if it's in backports [18:30] ActionParsnip: Correct, But now they have gotten it right. [18:30] cousin_mario 3.0.4 is available... [18:30] no change after sync ActionParsnip [18:30] dominicdinada: we'll see [18:31] p1l0t: I'm aware of that, thank you [18:31] arand: oh [18:31] cousin_mario, it was released today? [18:31] bazhang: I believe so [18:31] no other Idea to found my file ? [18:31] cousin_mario, then not in main repos, as ara nd said [18:31] lighta: if the partition wasn't mounted at the time of the move, the file could be in the directory of the mountpout. You could check this by unmounting the partition and looking in the mountpoint directory. [18:32] bazhang: but will it be available in the official lucid repositories in the near future? [18:32] cousin_mario, unlikely in the extreme, backports or PPA are your best shot [18:33] cousin_mario, only if it fixes serious security issues. === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [18:33] the partition where mounted right thune3 (used to work) but it may be unmounted badly (elictricity crash) [18:33] durt: I see [18:33] I suppose I'll have to wait for 10.10 then [18:33] thanks everybody [18:33] bbl [18:33] cousin_mario: using backorts or a ppa for an app like TB should be pretty safe === denny- is now known as denny [18:35] is there a way to append to a file (> overwrites) [18:35] rikkimaru: >> [18:36] erUSUL, brilliant! [18:37] lighta: this is ntfs-3g ? [18:37] thune3, /dev/sda5 /media/Data ntfs-3g defaults,locale=fr_FR.utf8 0 0 [18:37] how do i get my logitech mouse to work on my laptop [18:38] -f [18:39] anyone [18:39] im trying to install (k)ubuntu 10.04 i386 from an usb. getting error: "Verifying DMI Pool Data .... Boot error" (I followed all instructions and created usb bootable with Universal USB Installer. How do i fix this? [18:40] did you set [18:40] How would I route an outgoing attempt to connect to an ip to nothing, similar to the way a HOSTS file works in windows? [18:40] your bios to boot from usb [18:40] Hello! My Network Manager has gone wrong: when I right click it and choose "Edit Connections", nothing happens. [18:40] ifancho: yes [18:40] ifancho: when not, it boots windows directly. so its detecting the usb, but something is wrong as I get this error [18:41] Yo yo yo [18:41] how can I run rm -r without asking me questions, I want to delete a whole dir, not haveing to confrim every file in it [18:41] hmm [18:42] TLoFP: normally its not set to ask you, are you running ubuntu? [18:42] TLoFP - rm -rf [18:42] ActionParsnip: yo yo yo *again [18:42] TLoFP: use -rf (be VERY careful as it will destroy the folder) [18:42] thanks [18:42] TLoFP: do you have 'rm' aliased to 'rm -i'? [18:42] aeon-ltd: gots to change bus to get to work ;) [18:42] lighta: if the electricity cut soon after copying the file, then the file may still have been unwritten, or corrupted. [18:42] Ok, so with this new version of gdm, how in the heck does one change the gdm theme now? [18:42] Hi! What to do if ubuntu 10.04 hangs at boot? [18:43] P-Nuts: and others: System not maintained by me, im going nutz cause they won't give me admin priviliges [18:43] haveing to compile sh** from src and putting it in my home directory instead of etc where it ought to be [18:43] mugwort13: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 === LjL is now known as Lj [18:44] TLoFP, use /bin/rm === Lj is now known as LjL [18:44] TLoFP: \rm backslash overrides aliases [18:44] rokkyrokky: have you tried alt+f2? [18:44] TLoFP: it will if you use sudo and gksudo when you need to put stuff in folders outside of $HOME === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [18:44] how to run a tool on a machine but to tunnel graphics over ssh? [18:44] Raven: do you mean run graphical apps over ssh? [18:45] erUSUL: use '|tee filename' instead of '>> filename' [18:45] raven: connect to the machine with ssh -X (big X) [18:45] peturi: tee will overwritte too. if you want to use tee *and* append is "tee -a" [18:45] guntberg ActionParsnip guntberg was right tnx [18:45] erUSUL: ofcourse :) [18:45] Raven: if the client is windows then install xming, it will give an xserver for apps to stick to [18:46] erf thune3 this would be 9h dl lost :(, but it's strange cause I remenber see file on unbunut after reboot but wine couldn't open it so I went on windows then it disapear >< [18:46] raven: if its a linux desktop then you have one. Connect with: ssh -X user@server [18:46] How would I route an outgoing attempt to connect to an ip to nothing, similar to the way a HOSTS file works in windows? [18:46] I have a Vaio PCG-TR3a. It has Intel 855GM onboard video. When I try to boot the 10.04 livecd, it gets to the splash screen, and after a short bit, my display turns off. I've tried ctrl+alt+f(1,2,7). I've also tried nomodeset. The same thing happens when I connect an external monitor. Any ideas? [18:47] Raven: add an ampersand on the end of graphical commands so you get the session control back and can type more commands while the gui app runs [18:47] s0l1dsnak3123: /etc/resolv.conf ? [18:47] ActionParsnip: Xming ? nothing in aptitude for it [18:47] s0l1dsnak3123: /etc/hosts <<< you know windows stole the idea from UNIX [18:47] erUSUL - no, i did not :) [18:47] s0l1dsnak3123: the whole idea of the network and with it the hosts file [18:47] aptitude search xming ................. results in nothing returned [18:48] I'm having a weird bug with Ubuntu Lucid, I've installed it on my HTPC (amd triple code, integrated ati hd3200), the video/audio playback is choppy every 10-15 seconds, I've tried the default video drivers and the proprietary one... I check the cpu but there's no spike when the 'hang' occurs, I'm all out of idea here :( anyone had that kind of problem with lucid? [18:48] dominicdinada: you don't need that in linux - only in windows (as ActionParsnip said) [18:48] erUSUL - I didn't know that - thank you :) [18:48] lighta: you've tried find command and mlocate, to see if it is actually somewhere else? [18:48] guntbert: SWEET [18:48] is it freeware ? [18:48] Hi [18:49] dominicdinada: yes its free [18:49] jaf1230: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [18:49] mlocate ? [18:49] ActionParsnip: checking out the site now [18:50] ActionParsnip: So thats a replacement for all the gosh aweful VNC,RDP apps on windows ? [18:50] dominicdinada: xming? yes but there is mobaxterm too (last off topic line from me) [18:50] dominicdinada: its dead handy if you want to check emails remotely as the config / files on the remote system are used. Plus its secure unlike vnc [18:51] Anyone here run ubuntu on a laptop and know any good tools / tips to extend time while running on battery? Preferably something automatic that isnt the default power manager? [18:51] marc__: what media player are you using when problem happens? [18:51] dominicdinada: its just another option really. I do most stuff via ssh cli and web interfaces. Vnc is a bit vulgar imho [18:51] guntbert: Thats not off topic I was always looking for a better RDP,VNC for Windows to Linux. All the searches previously resulted in horrible apps [18:51] thune3, I tried VLC and Totem [18:51] Exavion: use lxde or another light desktop [18:51] ActionParsnip: But from what I can see you can use apps on it as well :D [18:51] oh thune3 thx i'm seeing it on mlocate, but not in thunar but at least is alive thx =) I'll continue with bash^ [18:51] dominicdinada: or definately [18:52] dominicdinada: if you run nautilus you should get a full desktop [18:52] ActionParsnip: Such as fluxbox? something that doesnt use a full X environment? [18:52] ActionParsnip: Guntbert: thats on my windows 7 next time I boot it up [18:52] Exavion: just something light like that, uses less cpu so it can step down and run slower == less power used [18:52] ActionParsnip: I did install the Gnome Desktop on the server :D [18:53] marc__: odd question, do you have browser open when problem happens? [18:53] ActionParsnip: well its meant to do it with text boot instead of Plymouth, theme, the black before log in show shows, but maybe that link will help to get rid of that as well :D [18:53] dominicdinada: kinda pointless, why not just install the desktop iso? [18:53] Thanks ActionParsnip [18:53] thune3, hmmm, yes... let met go close everything and check again. brb [18:53] dominicdinada: you can put mobaxterm even on an usb stick - no need to install it [18:53] ActionParsnip: ? I did ? Xorg,Gnome...... Its the basic desktop with all the apps [18:54] sebsebseb: possibly. [18:54] dominicdinada: yes but installing the server to then install a desktop environment is a bit silly [18:54] ActionParsnip: Well some tasks for me way easier to do gui. :D [18:55] dominicdinada: and when you update if your not careful you will lose the gui [18:55] But thanks for giving me that. Yesterday there was a Guy in here asking for such a program [18:55] p1l0t: Already did once when i wasnt paying careful attention [18:55] me too :P [18:55] lighta: mlocate shows files that existed when updatedb ran last (usually daily), it may not be current. [18:56] Now I have a netbook though with lucid netbook so the server is pure [18:56] p1l0t: Burn me once blah blah, Burn me twice Blah me [18:56] dominicdinada: then install desktop if you need a desktop. Server is headless for security and to reduce impact on the system. You have the same system you would have got had you installed the desktop system. You haven't gained anything [18:57] ActionParsnip: My home servers are just for remote stuff not in a production enviroment [18:57] ActionParsnip: not to mention gnome,xorg etc can be removed [18:57] dominicdinada: maybe so but its still a pointless excercise to install server to then throw a gui on it [18:57] thune3, yeah I did man mlocate. mlocate he found my file cp /.../myfile ./ ; file not found; sync; mlocate and cp again; no change :( [18:58] ActionParsnip: unlike the basic desktop package [18:58] dominicdinada: you can strip the desktop of x and gnome and it will boot to command line [18:58] ActionParsnip: :D ok ok [18:59] thune3, still stuttering but less frequently... I only have totem opened and it's every 30-40 seconds :( [18:59] wait wait wait with xming you need minigw :( [19:01] thune3, and again if I monitor cpu usage it's always below 30% on all core [19:01] dominicdinada: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ [19:01] my question is do you need minigw, cygwin etc [19:02] hi, i'm pretty new two the concept of piping. i've figured out how to output the content of each file found by "find", but how do i prepend the file name? [19:02] ActionParsnip: Your solution (i915 configuration) worked for me, thanks! [19:03] minigw OR cygwin, Cygwin is quite horrible in my opinion for the amount of space it takes you might as well just Dualboot the pc [19:03] jaf1230: np bro [19:04] dominicdinada, or run ubuntu inside virtualbox [19:04] dominicdinada: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/ bit easier, its standalone. You'll need to tell putty to allow x forwarding etc [19:04] Th1: not if you want to remote manage servers or access you desktop apps in a thin client stylee [19:04] ActionParsnip: Ahhh I see thanx [19:04] ciss_: prepend to what ? what output do you expect? [19:04] i installed 10.04 on ibook g4 most of the things are fine but some things don't work. I can't change the server to any other than main [19:04] cygwin is to bloated :D [19:05] maybe use microlinux [19:05] and because of that I can't install flash. when I reload in synaptic it's always giving me some error messages [19:05] marc__: well you can make changes to allow you to nice your process <0, you can run top -d 0.2, to see a finer resolution for a process that periodically spikes, and latencytop is sometimes helpful in identifying what might be "blocking" every 20seconds. [19:05] any good websites on where to setup a network? [19:06] jozefk, what do you mean you can't change the server? [19:06] with over 90 client computers [19:06] Th1: not if you want to remote manage servers or access you desktop apps in a thin client stylee [19:06] dominicdinada, microlinux what is that for? [19:06] moises what kind of network ? Filesharing, Print sharing, Music library sharing, medibuntu [19:06] filesharing [19:06] erUSUL, i want to list the file name including the full path, followed by a line break, followed by the file content [19:06] th1, the server in synaptic [19:06] ActionParsnip, ssh? ;) [19:06] My mouse cursor stays white no matter what color or size I change it to. Anyone know how to fix this small annoyance? [19:06] Hello. I am was downloading some video from youtube with youtube-dl command line and now I can't find it. In wich directory dowload the video? [19:06] jozefk: I was saying that it is nice and tiny to run linux apps.... [19:06] jozefk, have you tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor [19:06] Moises: grab a router and some patch cables or use wireless. Network is yours [19:06] Th1: indeed. Great for netbook [19:07] th1, not yet. let me see that one now [19:07] Th1: plus all configs are on the server so backups are simpler [19:07] ActionParsnip, exactly [19:07] jork,in home/downloads [19:07] ActionParsnip, or if you really gui hungry then vncserver will do nicely [19:07] ciss_: find dir/ -name '*whatever*' -exec sh -c 'echo -e "$1\n" && cat "$1"' _ '{}' \; [19:07] i have a switch hub, and etc.... [19:08] Jork, whatever folder you were in when you ran it. find ~ -iname "*.flv" (or use *.mp4) [19:08] no wireless... [19:08] moises: because this isn't on topic to Ubuntu support, you should ask elsewhere [19:08] ugh, erUSUL put me to shame. [19:08] moises: I use Ubuntu Server for a "File Server" Actually when I said filesharing I didn't mean the p2p torrent sort i meant a Fileserver none the less Server works good [19:08] butterfly. But my download folder is empty [19:08] Th1: I find it vulgar, especially if only one app is needed. Many apps can be managed via web interface (esp torrents) which is sleeker and lighter on the network [19:08] moises: perhaps try #ubuntu-offtopic or somewhere else [19:08] moises: there is ##networking [19:08] erUSUL, thanks in advance, i'll just need a few minutes to chew that one :) [19:08] thankz guntbert [19:08] ActionParsnip, mostly command line is better than web guis [19:08] duffydack: ;) just iddle a while each day in #bash [19:09] ActionParsnip, all good torrent clients have cli interfaces and also nntp clients etc. [19:09] h00k: guntbert I think he was asking about where or what to setup a fileserver [19:09] Th1: true. I use that most on my server but my g1 has a sexy app which plugs into transmission. Click a torrent on phone web browser and my fileserver is told to download it B) [19:10] ActionParsnip, nice but could probably be done with a shell script that you associate with torrent mime type in the browser ;) [19:10] not sure if G1 supports shell scripts but Maemo phones do [19:11] jork,try to search the file in place>search for file in file system [19:11] hm still I can't find it [19:11] Th1: the browser is the one running on my phone locally. Nothing to do with ssh or stuff like that, the app knows how to talk to the remote server [19:11] ActionParsnip, still I prefer not to have non-ssh holes in my firewall [19:11] ActionParsnip, so most I do from phone etc. would have to be ssh tunnelled anyway [19:12] hi, I am facing an irritating problem: When the monitor sleeps the no-break fan is switched on, what may be causing this? I would expect that to happen on the opposite way ... [19:12] Th1: its http based and I have some security on there so should be fine [19:12] apparently, after a massive update, 10.04 isn't loading aacraid in initramfs (I have a perc 320/dc scsi controller, and googling that.... seems like that raid controller requires that kernel module) [19:13] hi all I have dual monitors but I can seem to get the main monitor on the right it always defaults to the left monitor. Is there anyone t hat could assist? [19:13] I did an lsmod....... make sure it loads that so it can boot on the raid [19:13] pushpop: what video card? [19:13] intel on board [19:13] has two dvi's [19:13] ActionParsnip, I do that for MythWeb and some other stuff but I use https and authentication [19:13] !search ramfs [19:13] Found: blacklist, usplash [19:13] !blacklist | Hasufin [19:13] Hasufin: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [19:14] Th1: yeah I have auth as well as mac filter to allow only my phone to access the port [19:14] ActionParsnip, mac filter won't work on the go [19:14] thanks erUSUL [19:14] ActionParsnip, maybe OpenVPN for the phone if it's ported to G1 [19:15] Pushpop: you could set it up then maybe run: sudo Xorg --configure ,I think it writes the current config to the file. You can always delete / rename the xorg.conf file if its no good [19:15] ActionParsnip, I tried it on my Symbian phone but the OpenVPN port was too flaky.. [19:15] hey guys, I had to uninstall wine to install a patched version via source. My question is, how can I make it work using wine command outside the source folder? (wine works inside the source folder) [19:15] ok [19:15] hello all i have 10 gb space for ubuntu and not having too much softwares but the free space in now only 1 gb,how this possible?? [19:15] Th1: I'm not that paranoid, what I have is good enough for me :) [19:16] syron, you could download the ubuntu .diff and apply it to your patched tree then do fakeroot debian/rules binary to create a real package [19:16] butterfly: check out where the space is wasted with Aplications>accesories>disk use analizerç [19:16] Butterfly: remove some old kernels to free up space. You may also want to fsck the partition if the space is being incorrectly reported [19:16] thune3, weird, I don't see any process going high, instead all process drop to 0 when the stutter happen.... [19:17] th1, thanks, but do u know a tutorial page, where I can read that, since Im pretty new to that stuff and Im using ubuntu for about a week now [19:17] butterfly: also install bleachbit and run it as both root and yourself but watch your browser settings as it'll wipe favourites etc. Also avoid the steps that say they will take a long times [19:18] Butterfly: removing old kernels will get you abou 120mb per kernel [19:18] erUSUL: I'm booting off the live cd.... I can run edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules on the on the raid root disk..... and run update-initramfs -u for it? [19:18] can ubuntu 10.04 use xorg 1.8 (i.e. no hal)? [19:18] th1, I can't change the server in /etc/apt/sources.list [19:18] syron: there are many, you could google for "build package from source ubuntu" . but the quick and dirty version: apt-get build-dep wine; apt-get source wine; ; cd wine-x.y; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot [19:18] jozefk, what's the error message [19:18] Hasufin: if you can mount the root filesystem ( inclusing boot) chroot to it and do the mods in the chroot [19:19] th1, thank you very much :) [19:19] erUSUL: ok! [19:19] augustl: sure, you may have to compile if there is no ppa [19:19] Hasufin: how to chroot is explained in the grub2 wiki page [19:19] !grub2 | Hasufin [19:19] Hasufin: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [19:19] ActionParsnip: ppas are precompiled packages right? [19:19] it Xorg.conf how does it Identify your main monitor? [19:20] augustl: yes 3rd party unofficial repositories. Use at your own risk (most are fine) [19:20] I guess my real question is wether ubuntu depends on xorg 1.7 explicitly for some reason [19:20] Is there any HTML5 hardware acceleration coming for linux? (in any browser?) [19:20] ActionParsnip: tnx [19:20] eoke: I found more detail about the ipod issue. The fs is hfs+, which results in the error that "hfs: write access to a journaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only.". This is a brand new ipod. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/49052 describes it exactly. [19:20] syron, probably also "apt-get install build-essential fakeroot" [19:20] happosade: I would imagine linux support will be added to any stable release [19:20] augustl: i'd look into the xorg edgers ppa but the x you get may be flaky [19:21] hello [19:21] th1, sorry for bothering you, but you wrote "apply your patch", do I have to do it in a specific folder? don't know where the source ends up using apt-get source wine [19:21] marc__: yeah that's odd. [19:21] running arch at the moment and it comes without x, so using 1.8 is pretty easy ;) [19:21] I'd love to have the convenience of stuff just working though.. [19:21] syron, after you do apt-get source it will get the wine sources and unpack them for you under the current directory [19:21] perhaps I'll break that by using xorg 1.8, hmz [19:21] what is the actual file name for xorg.conf and where is it located? [19:21] th1, okidoki, thank you [19:21] pushpop: /etc/X11/xorg.conf in 1.7 [19:22] what do you mean 1.7?? [19:22] pushpop: xorg-server version 1.7 [19:22] pushpop: in 1.8, it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf [19:22] ubuntu 10.04 [19:22] pushpop: I'm pretty sure 10.04 use 1.7 ;) [19:22] is 1.8? [19:22] syron, instead of dpkg-buildpackage you can do: chmod 755 debian/rules ; fakeroot debian/rules binary - then it will only build the binary packages and not documentation etc.. [19:23] pushpop: I'm also pretty sure it's configured via HAL fdi policies, not xorg.conf directly [19:23] crap [19:23] th1, oh ok, I'll give it a try, thanks again [19:23] no idea how to do this [19:23] pushpop: do what? [19:23] th1, http://i49.tinypic.com/nmdowi.png [19:23] I have dual monitors and the default monitor is on the right when I want it on the left. [19:23] doesnt let me use the left as default [19:24] onboard intel 4500 [19:24] pushpop: there is a GUI to configure that isn't there? [19:24] yes [19:24] in System > Preferences, probably [19:24] but it doesnt let me put the default monitor on left [19:24] thats the problem [19:24] thune3, thanks for your help, but I give up... let's go back to stupid windows xp where everything work right away but have to reinstall every 6 months because everything start to go slow (after 5 months boot time is over 4 minutes)... [19:24] =P [19:24] pushpop: "doesn't let me"? [19:25] it only sets the monitor on right has default [19:25] jozefk, sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring [19:25] no matter what I do it doesnt let me use left monitor as default [19:25] jozefk, and then sudo apt-get update [19:25] marc__: funnily enough I have to give sound drivers and wireless drivers in windows, in linux all my hardware works out of the box [19:25] marc__: it is probably fixable, but it would take some time and frustration. [19:25] marc__, can't confirm thatm my xp never had a boot time that lonog, no matter how much I installed [19:26] pushpop: I shouldn't have tried to help you tbh, I have no idea what might be the problem ;) [19:26] i found my driver for my build in modem but i get boot off why is this??

[19:32] Cryp71c: why dont u use download manager to download the packages? [19:32] ? [19:32] shadyabhi, I used synnaptic when the problem originally came up. Its not downloading them that's the issue, its the installation/configuration that is done. [19:32] any ideas? [19:33] sandy__: click applications. Click accessories. Click terminal. Use the keyboard now and press the t key, then the o key, then the p key, this spells top. Now press enter [19:33] when I run "sudo ldconfig", I get "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5 is not a symbolic link". I've checked, and that's true -- it exists, but it's not a symlink. How should I fix that? Ubuntu 10.04 64bit [19:33] hello [19:33] Cryp71c: use package maneger to download that package [19:33] does anyone here know how to fix the issue with nokia phones not connecting in Lucid? 2 models connected fine in 9.10 but since 10.04 nothing [19:33] Hello, my ubuntu 10.04 hangs on "running /scripts/init-bottom Done." how i can fix it?

Can a manual scan and initialize be done manually? Help thanks. [19:34] does anyone know what the errors mean???? [19:35] sandy__: the list are all the processes running on you pc, the top one is the cpu heaviest [19:35] shadyabhi, I'm not using mysql anymore on this system, I'd likely just like to remove it, I think. but each time I try to open up synnaptic to flag it for removal, I get an error because the process did not complete properly the last time (because the mysql update failed) [19:35] root [19:35] sandy__: you can paste the top line if you want. Makes it easier [19:35] perlsyntax: have some patience. If no one know, you can ask again in 10 or 15 minutes [19:35] *knows [19:35] I gotta go earn some money now.

[19:43] erer, probably some issue where it can't find the BIOS id... you can try the Alternate installer and install from that and skip grub then use a bootable grub to install it natively, but it requires you to understand how grub works [19:43] deedub, reboot :) [19:43] deedub, try lshw (list hardware) [19:43] That's what I'm trying to avoid.

[19:46] th1, i haven't change anything manually in any of those files [19:46] the problem is: i no encounter ¨driver¨ for my SiS 330 Mirage, i´m using ubuntu 10.04 [19:46] pushpop: yes, it shocked me too the first time. really strange, and merging the images is a hazzle, especially if you want to change often ;p [19:46] i'm telling you that's because I can't change the server. actually that's what i think is the reason [19:46] my inglish is bad =/ [19:46] <<==now has a full running ubuntu laptop from a clean install [19:46] guntberg ActionParsnip ssh -X gives me "could not open display"...

[19:48] My setup is: a cable runs through the wall, through a filter, into the modem, which then has a wire, that leads to the wireless netgear router. [19:48] jozefk, the gnash plugins etc are very crappy in my experience and will not show many things [19:48] Hello, my 10.04 install always freezes at shutting down [19:49] At the splash screen [19:49] usb startup disk creator is unable to use the mini.iso images?

Ok? [19:50] maybe for PPC there is no other server actually.. [19:50] erUSUL: i did another modprobe aacraid and it recognized it [19:50] ZykoticK9, is here an alternative way to make the mini.iso bootable? [19:50] via usb stick [19:50] airdem, not that i'm personally aware of, good luck :) [19:50] thank you :) [19:51] airdem, what wy have you tried. [19:51] oCean_: I can never seem to connect to it if I did set up apache. [19:51] sebsebseb: yes, boot is ok [19:51] LuciusMare: Propritary Nivida or ATI driver installed or not? [19:51] gnash plays videos on youtube, by the way [19:51] airdem, I use this for bootable usb images. http://psychoticspoon.blogspot.com/2009/01/booting-multiple-livecds-from-single.html [19:51] maybe that's already enough.. [19:51] duffydack, i want to install it from usb. dont want to weaste a cd for 20MB [19:51] sebsebseb: no proprietary drivers even available [19:51] LuciusMare: Which card you got? [19:51] erUSUL: after that change to the modules telling ubuntu to load aacraid in the initramfs worked :) thanks! [19:52] can someone with a SSD post their /etc/fstab please [19:52] brax: connect from where to where? What setup? Are apache processes running? Is it possible to connect from localhost? Is it possible to connect by ip? Give (the channel, not me) the details of what you did. Try to keep the description in one single line [19:52] airdem, its a bit long winded for what it is..basically just make a small partition for the loader, another for the iso, install the loader and cat the iso to the 2nd partitions. simples. [19:52] hi [19:52] sebsebseb: to be honest, I have no idea, i guess an integrated one [19:52] how can I debug standy-crashes? [19:52] i need help to figure out why my system is running really slow. tried to install avg antivirus for linux and could not get it to work [19:53] LuciusMare: so it freezes and then you got to turn the computer off using the power button yourself? [19:53] !virus | sandy__ [19:53] sandy__: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [19:53] sandy__: dont use some crappy AV in linux, thats worthlss [19:53] sebsebseb: Yes, I am not quite sure if i am not damaging it in some way :/ [19:53] sandy__: the system will never get infected unless you run as root normally [19:53] sandy__, system specs? [19:53] LuciusMare: right well [19:54] LuciusMare, to find your gfx card use "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal [19:54] LuciusMare: Plymouth is used for the graphical boot up and shut down in 10.04, but there are quite a few issues with it [19:54] ubutom how do i get those [19:54] sandy__: c3l is forgetting the possibility that you *could* have your system infected if you go out of your way to install/run software from untrusted sources [19:54] Sorry, it's a school computer, I haven't got access to it right now, but after I will get it, what should I try? [19:54] sandy__: sticking to the Software Center is the safe way to avoid that [19:55] maco i dont i am very careful what i install [19:55] sandy__: good :) [19:55] i thought i was difficult for linux to get affected? [19:55] sandy__: if you stick to supported software, you won't get a virus. simple as that. [19:55] win_2_linux: by automatic means, sure [19:55] what pkg do i have to install for nvidia drivers? there are so much of them [19:55] win_2_linux: but by user-did-something-bad... [19:55] win_2_linux: you can get infected if you try to do something stupid [19:55] maco the only on line game i play is evony [19:55] Okay, I have it installed on the desktop. I can connect by localhost. One thing that hampers me is that my ISP doesn't support static IP's. And my LAN addresses aren't 192.168.*, they're 10.0.*. [19:55] maco: who is evil enough to run non-free software? [19:56] win_2_linux: ther'es no patch for gullibility. if someone lies to a user and says "run this its really fun" and they're gullible enough... [19:56] sandy__, things like processor type, amount of ram, hd-space, etc [19:56] sandy__: you don't need anti virus unless your going to be passing on files to Windows, As long as you stay with trusted software sources, so the Ubuntu repos or offical websites, should be alright. [19:56] The weird thing is, I can connect to the modem AND the router via a web browser, and they both have port forwarding options. [19:56] sebsebseb: Sorry, it's a school computer, I haven't got access to it right now, but after I will get it, what should I try? [19:56] LuciusMare: you can disable the graphical plymouth boot up, that may help with shut down as well [19:56] maco: itd be unethical and immoral = [19:56] i don't listen to people [19:56] sandy__, should bes omewhere in the menus, fail atm to find it [19:56] LuciusMare: its a lap top yeah? [19:56] sebsebseb: no, a school desktop [19:56] airdem, is one of the options Recommended? use Current if you can. [19:56] win_2_linux, sandy__: http://www.slideshare.net/macoafi/security-4484394 <-- the non-virus security things normal people still have to think about on linux [19:57] c3l: yet phishing sites still exist [19:57] c3l: oh you mean running proprietary software? [19:57] c3l: it could be a bash script.. not closed, can be read fine...except for the bit where most people cant read bash scripts [19:57] ok now 1 last problem since i updated to ubuntu 10.4 i cant open windows at all. it is still duel boot but windows just wont open [19:57] LuciusMare: turning the computer off using the power button with Ubuntu should be alright, since the computer knows its going to shut down. and I tend to do this with this computer, and its still working fine since March 2007, or whenever it was bought [19:58] maco: well the repos are being checked for malicious code [19:58] LuciusMare: well using another distro on here now, but same thing when it comes to turning off [19:58] please, how can i specify language when i am booting ubuntu live from usb flashdisk? [19:58] c3l: which is why i say to use them [19:58] LuciusMare: its if you turn it off using the actsual plug switch, that you could probably do damage to the computer, as far as I know [19:58] maco: oh :D then I guess we agree on every point [19:58] c3l: but you could find a script online or get an email that tells you to run something...and if you're gullible do it... and even if that script is human readable, it may not be readable to *you* as the user if its in a language you dont know [19:59] sebsebseb: well, a thing is ACPI shutdown, when the button sends a signal to computer to run it's shutdown sequence, and another thing is this brutal holding the power button until it shuts off, which i am forced to do [19:59] LuciusMare: right, but I tend to turn this computer off, by holding down the power button :) and its still working fine after all this time [20:00] oh, okay :) [20:00] sebsebseb: that is called luck [20:00] maco: yes maybe [20:00] how do I know if Plymouth is on or off and what is the difference with GDM? [20:00] LuciusMare: however in your case it crashes when its meant to be shutting down, so it really does know its meant to be going off :D [20:01] It does crash? :D [20:01] LuciusMare: probably just the theme crashing or something, so maybe the text boot instead of Plymouth theme, will help, but thats a bit ugly === Funky_ is now known as FunkySayu [20:02] LuciusMare: basically it would show a black screen, untill the log in screen shows. and text when it wants to show for boot up and shut down. [20:02] sebsebseb: all that matters is, if it will work, thank you, i will try it :) [20:02] bye [20:02] silly people who leave, before can even tell them, how to do something. ah well [20:03] maco: youre right, you must have the assumption of that the general public being more or less stupid =) [20:04] monkey_dust: Plymouth is the graphical boot up and shut down, so its there by default in 10.04. GDM is the default log in screen for Ubuntu. [20:04] hello [20:04] c3l: ignorant, not stupid. ignorance is curable (ie, they could /learn/ to read scripts and code) [20:04] sebsebseb, how do I disable plymouth? [20:04] monkey_dust: (well being more exact GDM 2 since 9.10, which sadly isn't as good as the old version) [20:04] tomatto_, i've never had to change languages before myself, but is the language you're looking for one of the 7 available on the livecd? http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives you might have to install the language support you are looking for. good luck. [20:05] monkey_dust: why do you want to disable Plymouth whats the issue? [20:05] sebsebseb, I want to boost my system [20:06] maco: truetrue [20:06] monkey_dust: no disabling Plymouth, probably won't help to speed it up [20:06] monkey_dust: plus you can't 100% properly disable it anyway, since how its bundled into the sysetm [20:06] monkey_dust, plymouth aims to streamline the boot process and allows faster booting [20:06] monkey_dust: well you if you take a load of system stuff with it, that should be there [20:06] can if [20:07] jozefk, that qemu wrapper thing I rememered, there's something about it here but maybe it's a starting point for you: http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4667&start=45 [20:07] ubutum i found the cpu info what info do you want to know [20:08] sandy__, was just asking about the specs of your pc, since it may be related to an old cpu or insufficient ram that your system is slow [20:08] ubutom_: sandy__ or not enough SWAP space [20:08] ubutom_: sandy__ or needing a lighter desktop envirionment / window manager === Gold is now known as Guest7787 [20:09] sebsebseb, yep, exactly :) [20:09] swap space is 2911 MiB show 94% free [20:10] in lucid how do i use tor for everything EXCEPT https:// ?

[20:18] sandy__: right, but you shoudn't be using Windows 98 now online, since it hasn't been supported by Micrsooft for years. However you could virtual machine it inside Ubuntu, and keep the virtual machine offline for security reasons, and run some Windows apps, if you can't get them working in Wine or find good enough alternatives [20:18] I installed Ubuntu on a new laptop and installed the Broadcom STA wireless driver, it works fine, however everytime I boot I have to re "enable wireless" by right clicking on the network applet [20:18] sebsebseb in fact if i can run linux without windows on this system tell me how to take windows out and i will [20:18] is "shutdown -h now" save to run within the desktop enviroment?

[20:20] sandy__: not to speed up Ubuntu no [20:20] my video module is not being built. Anyone know why? [20:21] sandy__: also if Ubuntu is being slow, virtual machines are out at the moment I guess. [20:21] sandy__: Vista needs at least 1GB RAM for I think all versions, except the starter edition for the developeing world, that can only run like three apps at once [20:21] how to add 'copy' in Keyboard shortcut [20:21] sandy__: my computer here is only 1GB RAM, and works fine [20:21] I installed Ubuntu on a new laptop and installed the Broadcom STA wireless driver, it works fine, however everytime I boot I have to re "enable wireless" by right clicking on the network applet.

[20:23] sebsebseb ok then it has to be just the app i was running. [20:23] sandy__: which app were you running? [20:23] sebsebseb an on line game [20:24] monkey_dust: with network manager ? right click on the applet chopose edit connections [20:24] sandy__: ah yes Flash [20:24] sandy__: yes Flash in Firefox in Ubuntu, and things can get slow at the moment [20:24] sebsebseb yes flash is involved and since it updated it slowed way down [20:25] sandy__: updated from the repos? the update manager in Ubuntu?

[20:30] sebsebseb after that i cant get win to open at all. still shows duel boot but win wont boot [20:30] fr1sco: and they replaced Konqueror with Dolphin as the default file manager in KDE, and yeah Dolphin is nice as well :) [20:30] sandy__: yes a Grub 2 issue probably [20:30] sandy__: however your not meant to be running WIndows 98 like that anyway [20:30] sebsebseb: eh, i could take it or leave it but it's not bad [20:30] sandy__: not anymore [20:30] sebsebseb any way to fix it? [20:31] sandy__: I even did virtual machines with a not that technical woman, about three or four weeks ago, told her how to do it through IRC, and she seemed to be quite impressed [20:32] sandy__: if you want Windows, well thats a great way to do it, fine for basically all apps except 3D apps [20:32] cool there is a new vlc for Win/linux/Mac out http://www.videolan.org/ very very nice :) [20:32] !virtualbox | sandy__ [20:32] sandy__: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [20:32] sebsebseb i dont do 3d apps [20:32] sandy__: both are free as in price [20:32] sandy__: and you could have Windows 98 and have it offline for securtiy reasons :) and yeah [20:33] sandy__: Which Windows programs do you want to run?

[20:35] this sucks. [20:36] how to add 'copy' in Keyboard shortcut ? [20:36] multi_io, what? [20:36] !livecd | sandy__ [20:36] sandy__: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [20:36] sebsebseb ok so if i run it again i can clean out win and do away with the part.? [20:36] sandy__: yes [20:36] multi_io, y [20:36] sandy__: and then you could make another data partition for Ubuntu to use [20:37] sandy__: or re size your Ubuntu partition, which will probably go fine, but always a slight chance of dataloss [20:37] I have a Brother HL-5270DN printer, I'm using brother's deb packages for it and the normal cups setup (no special setups or anything) [20:37] sebsebseb ok great i will do that thank you so very much for the help [20:37] sandy__: or you could make [20:37] sandy__: a seperate /home partition [20:37] sandy__: right now you probably got / swap and Windows 98 [20:37] sandy__: well yes if you did the guided install on the Live CD [20:38] !home | sandy__ [20:38] sandy__: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [20:38] I use chrome and go to e.g. http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec and print that site. the job hangs in the queue for half an hour or so, with a page coming out of the printer every 6 or 7 minutes. [20:39] sandy__: now I set those up before installing, never done it afterwoulds, but apparnatly not that difficult to do afterwoulds [20:39] no great CPU usage by any process during that. [20:39] multi_io, does it work with windows [20:39] sebsebseb ok i will run the disc i remember partions on it so i will try that . thanks [20:40] sandy__: so you don't even want to run Windows programs? [20:40] Guest28495: no windows on this machine. other people can print on the printer with windows just fine. even I could some time ago iirc. [20:40] sandy__: anyway its system > administration > partition editor [20:40] sandy__: on the Live CD, where you can do stuff with the partitions, and it will show you what it wil do, before pressing apply as well [20:40] sebsebseb since i started with linux it has everything i need to run and i like it a lot better. [20:40] seems the problem is quite common. [20:41] cupsd runs gs internally I see. [20:41] should it do that? [20:41] sebsebseb thank you i will do that after i back up my files. thanks for all the help [20:41] sandy__: ok good :) ,but Ubuntu does not = Linux, its just one of many distributions/distros :) http://www.distrowatch.com [20:42] I have problems with a fresh install of MySQL. I tried to remove it completely with apt-get purge mysql-server, but it doesn't remove some stuff (at least the /etc/mysql files). How do I fix it? [20:42] sandy__: ok no problem, you're welcome :) [20:42] sebsebseb i know but i like ubuntu so i will stay with them. they had every i do covered. thanks and you have a good day [20:43] sandy__: 99% of the apps that run on Ubuntu run in the other desktop Linux distros as well :) [20:43] short question, how to toggle the "Boot Flag" in the Installer for Raid Partition ?

[20:50] look at the bottom of the screen [20:50] Njh, for the most part multiple versions are not really available (exceptions being backports and stuff) [20:50] there you can choose options like low video then [20:50] Cpt_Zyph: the alternate cd can install regardless of crap graphics support. the installed system will offer a low graphics mode at boot if thats all it can do [20:50] Cpt_Zyph: try whatever distro you want, put on what works best I guess [20:50] ZykoticK9: these are personal debs [20:50] ya i was going to ask if htere is an alternate live version [20:50] Testerx: space bar?

[21:12] sebsebseb: any idea when is it going to happen? firefox 3.6.4 is out [21:13] rohan: soon I guess [21:13] ToraToraTora, unfortunately it happens that wife's pc has the 7600 gt with dvi out running vista [21:14] glenneth, type your ati radeon 9200 in the pacjage manager search , see what drivers are applicable [21:15] hi ! is it possible to redriect the mic to the speaker using alsa+pulse audio ?

[21:18] hi, if i want to add lines into /etc/rc.local, what is the recommended way to do that? is it to place the lines above the exit0, or is it under? [21:18] how do i safely test Xorg using newly built ATI driver? [21:18] does anyone know why anjuta is telling me" **Error**: You must have `glib' installed."

[21:25] can someone point me to a guide to creating a bootable usb stick for ubuntu 10.04 64 bit? Neither unetbootin or the usb-creator (running on Arch Linux) seems to create a bootable stick.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and my sound just stops working randomly, and will sometimes only work through headphones, but either way the only way I can seem to get it working again is to reboot the machine [21:28] A friend has a notebook with WinXP installed, it doesn't boot so chkdsk or reinstall is needed, it has no CD-drive so I plan to boot WinXP installer from a USB flashdrive, I have WinXP CD, I'm creating a .iso file of it to use later on the usb flash drive. Can I use the Bootdisk creator app with winxp as with any linux distro? or do I need another app?

[21:30] hello, can someone advise me on creating a start usb stick for a meego .img file? [21:30] darolu: I'm sure you can use unetbootin to create bootable xp usb sticks [21:30] Where to prevent XChat from joining #ubuntu on startup? [21:30] azeryu: go to Synaptic and search for linux-image, install it and then boot from it (selecting it on grub), running sudo update-grub may be necesary [21:30] hello, people! [21:30] i'm working from lucid ubuntu [21:30] darolu: nvm, you can't ;) [21:31] darolu: I take it you googled for booting xp install from usb stick? [21:31] augustl: OK, I wonder if I simply dump the iso to the flashdrive would work [21:31] darolu: unless microsoft did something special with the iso (or whoever created the iso), most likely not [21:31] augustl: yes of course, but a "bazillion" of results for windows show up, none for linux :( [21:31] darolu: a bootable CD image won't boot properly on a usb stick. [21:31] I'm not sure why, but that's how it is ;) [21:32] hi all, I just updated to ubuntu 10.04, but the bootsplash is not working. I'm using the intel driver, but the modesetting doesn't seem to be happening until just before the X server starts, anyone know what's up? [21:32] i tried running unetbootin but not successfully [21:32] RedNifre: go to xchat/network list, select freenode, edit [21:33] remove it from "favourite channels" [21:33] guntbert: There's no #ubuntu listed there. [21:33] Hey Room I'm having a pretty weird sound issue. I'm new to Linux and need some help. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and used the standard ISO. The sound works sometimes but then it will just cut completely out or will only work through headphones. So far the only way I can get it working again is to reboot the computer. Any advice or anything? [21:34] jwm123: if it is a img file i'd say use dd « sudo dd if=file.img of=/dev/sdx » [21:34] lachouffe: redirecting sound almost always has an unusable delay. If your using the mic and speakers in the same card, there is sometimes a "capture-feedback" option in alsamixer or gnome-alsamixer. This feed the input straight to the output in the soundcard. [21:34] pianohacker: want a protip? Make sure you didn't disable USB boot in the BIOS :) [21:34] RedNifre: maybe you have the network as "ubuntu server" [21:34] darolu: i got several package i don't know what to choose ? [21:34] jwm123: make sure you used the correct /dev/sd file [21:34] I also have a question about getting my laptops webcam and microphone to work on the tinychat website [21:35] should have noticed that the activity light didn't flicker [21:35] azeryu: the one that says "linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic" or "linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic" [21:35] how to make openoffice to use dark theme?

[21:36] thune3, oh thanks for the answer, do you know if pulse audio support it also ? [21:36] guntbert: No, I mean, there is FreeNode in the Network list and I can click edit. But there is no #ubuntu in the window that opens when I click edit on FReeNode. [21:36] !hello | erik__ [21:36] erik__: 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! [21:37] Hey Room I'm having a pretty weird sound issue. I'm new to Linux and need some help. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and used the standard ISO. The sound works sometimes but then it will just cut completely out or will only work through headphones. So far the only way I can get it working again is to reboot the computer. Any advice or anything? [21:37] I'm currently in the Ubuntu installer. Can I access some sort of root shell from there? [21:37] guntbert: Oh, you are right [21:37] want to do some stuff before install starts (rename a folder namely) [21:37] I didn't see "Ubuntu Servers" because it's not sorted alphabetically. [21:37] RedNifre: :-) they are the same network under different names [21:38] I'm actually confused now. Is this freenode or ubuntu? XChat shows that I'm connected to freenode, is this wrong? [21:38] ah [21:38] confusing [21:38] yay, I can just change tty [21:38] Especially that "Ubuntu Servers" lists #ubuntu as a favorite and "Freenode" doesn't. [21:38] But thank you for that. [21:38] RedNifre: freenode.net is the server that handles all the channels, like #ubuntu (this one) [21:38] lachouffe: i don't know, i've never seen it in pulse. i would install gnome-alsamixer and look there. [21:39] RedNifre: you're welcome :-) [21:39] Hello. I am new to Ubuntu and I am not sure whether this is the best place to ask some noobie questions... [21:39] Greetings! [21:39] How can I diagnose my LVM VG? [21:39] bring it on :) [21:39] !ask | kchang [21:39] kchang: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:39] RFleming: diagnose ? [21:39] Can someone at least point me to a room where someone might be able to help me? [21:39] RedNifre: freenode is a server. A server has many channels, ubuntu is one of them. [21:40] I just installed ubuntu to Lenovo R60 and it's connected to an external Dell monitor, and I am not sure if it is possible to improve the resolution. [21:40] when my system boots, run-init complains that /sbin/init can't be found and the kernel panics. It is indeed there when booting off a live-cd and the LVM filesystems check out just fine. [21:40] we need some more information regarding graphic card etc. [21:40] Hey Room I'm having a pretty weird sound issue. I'm new to Linux and need some help. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and used the standard ISO. The sound works sometimes but then it will just cut completely out or will only work through headphones. So far the only way I can get it working again is to reboot the computer. Any advice or anything? [21:41] I also have a question about getting my laptops webcam and microphone to work on the tinychat website [21:41] guntbert, when I deliberately change the root= in grub to the wrong path and am dropped to the (initramfs) busybox prompt, I can indeed mount the LVM VG [21:41] erik__: open the sound properties (right click the speaker icon) and make sure the right channel is being used (i.e. analog - speakers) it is possible that you have keyboard-shortcuts configured to change this values; for example if you have a multimedia keyboard [21:41] ATI X1400 128MB Graphics is apprently the graphics card that came with r60 === slide23 is now known as slide [21:42] RFleming: yes, what is the problem? [21:42] this might sound silly. What should I uninstall on a brand new 10.04 install? I'll uninstall the photo manager thing, for example. [21:42] Is there any way to find out the type of hard drive installed? [21:42] like, brand etc [21:42] slide: hdparm [21:42] darolu: I've tried that on several occasions when the sound cuts out. It seems linux says my sound card only has one input and output, and it's always set to analog stereo. [21:42] slide: dmesg | grep -i ata [21:43] guntbert, when booting, run-init complains that /sbin/init doesn't exist, the kernel then panics about not syncing and attempting to kill init. [21:43] what i have done is : i install this linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic from software center then i reboot my pc then i do sudo update-grub but i try to do uname -r i always got this : 2.6.27-gandi-2777 : unbeliavable darolu [21:43] slide: i.e. "sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda" [21:43] slide: sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda [21:43] guntbert, booting into the livecd, I can indeed see the LVM VG, I scanned the partitions and there were no errors. [21:43] what file do I edit in grub2 to change the default boot option, and timeout etc? [21:43] erik__: try to fix your channels with (in a terminal): alsamixer [21:43] thanks guys! :D [21:43] guntbert, but I can't get the box to boot. [21:43] c3l: /etc/default/grub [21:44] !grub2 > c3l [21:44] c3l, please see my private message [21:44] RFleming: why do you think its a lvm problem? [21:44] azeryu: when you reboot, choose the generic kernel from your grub list; if you don't see any list, press and hold shift to see the list [21:44] darolu, augustl: That's completely irrelevant to everything I said, but thank you for your good intentions. Bye everyone! [21:44] Hello. I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an USB stick and I'm wondering how I can avoid the "Try Ubuntu (...)/Install Ubuntu" popup to show up at each startup [21:44] A friend has a notebook with WinXP installed, it doesn't boot so chkdsk or reinstall is needed, it has no CD-drive so I plan to boot WinXP installer from a USB flashdrive, I have WinXP CD, I'm creating a .iso file of it to use later on the usb flash drive. Can I use the Bootdisk creator app with winxp as with any linux distro? or do I need another app? dumping the iso file to the drive + adding boot flag would work? [21:45] RedNifre: uhm ok =P [21:45] it is an remote system i can't access on it physically darolu [21:45] guntbert, I figured there was a problem with the mounting of the LVM VG and it couldn't access /sbin/init. But I'm now also wondering if it's dying before that, and can't find /sbin/init in the initramfs [21:45] what's the apt-get command to remove a package and all it's orphans? [21:45] normaly it is not necessary to reboot a pc on linux isn't it true ? darolu [21:45] darolu: ask in ##windows [21:45] darolu: why do u want to use winXP cd? use ubuntu cd instead [21:45] erUSUL: thanks [21:45] darolu: unetbootin or the usb cvreator wont work with a winXP iso [21:46] azeryu: it is necessary when you try to boot using a different kernel [21:46] RFleming: take a look into http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm - its really good to read/play - maybe that helps [21:46] darolu: apparently I have an HDA Intel device. I opened alsamixer in terminal and the only thing muted was the internal microphone. [21:46] guntbert, in all honesty, I don't know where it's dying. The system has been up for 427 days. Today on a reboot, it wouldn't start [21:46] erUSUL: ##windows will tell me the windows-solution, but I do not have a Windows machine right now :s [21:46] as i say you it is an remote pc [21:46] Im having a problem with my sound card. I have an hp dv6 1277la and I cant figure out how can I make it work. Can someone help me, please? =P [21:47] any other solution for this case ? [21:47] shadyabhi: unfortunatelly ntfsfix couldn't repair the filesystem, so I need chkdsk or reinstall :( [21:47] Detail: Im new in Ubuntu u.u [21:47] I'm a bit confused. X is what allows for graphics correct? though gnome is not a window manager like metacity or compiz. what would you call gnome/kde etc? [21:47] /etc/default/burg: 27: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string <-- not so good right? rebooting will probably kill it not? [21:48] any other solution for this case ? darolu [21:48] RFleming: understood - but to be honest the mechanism of the linux boot process isn't *very* clear for me too :-) [21:48] azeryu: the only way to change the kernel you are using is to reboot and select it :( sorry [21:48] I'm using 9.10. I can connect to wireless networks just fine, but recently I can't connect to my own. I just get "Authentication required by wireless network". Not sure why the Wireless Security key keeps changing when I try to enter more than one. What can I do?

[22:14] darolu: ask #windows [22:14] if any of yall are networking geniuses, i have a situation i've been trying to resolve for a few weeks now [22:15] Ulmo: reinstall windows, you will loose grub, so reinstall grub and done [22:15] happyface, html5 acceleration? html5 is not something that can be hardware accelerated. maybe html5 videos, but whether those are hardware accelerated depends on the browser. generally they already are. [22:15] the reason is dumb, i admit, but i'm kinda stuck [22:15] happyface, you could probably play html5 video with mplayer and thus get hardware acceleration on nvidia cards [22:15] I have the Gparted live cd but it won't load for some reason. [22:15] amyleto: dunno; #networking also exist in this server [22:15] I'm assuming I'll need some tool like Gparted to whipe the partition. === dad_ is now known as Guest23868 [22:15] #networking [22:16] azeryu: I'll try, but they probably know shit about linux; and I have no windows machine available :( [22:16] ops [22:16] nvm [22:16] PigeonCluster: many graphical effects (and videos) of HTML5 can use GPU acceleration (on windows at least) [22:16] ZykoticK9: hmm thanks [22:16] ciao [22:16] ubottu: language | darolu [22:16] darolu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:16] qulche italino? [22:16] Ulmo: can't windows do that? for ntfs better use windows; or use an ubuntu live cd and use gparted from there [22:16] if i have an extended partion and a swap partion of the same size, should i get rid of the swap or extended ? [22:16] !it | tanio [22:16] tanio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [22:16] did I say something wrong? [22:16] VCoolio: You can use Gparted from the Ubuntu cd?? [22:16] darolu: the s-word :) [22:16] ok [22:16] oh yeah I said 'poop' sorry [22:16] my desktop and internet both have a choppy response takes about 3 seconds for text to catch up with me and about every 3 seconds it hangs like this..any ideas? [22:16] happyface, again depends on browser, generally chrome is very fast [22:17] ok tell me is that possible to reboot a pc with an option ? [22:17] PigeonCluster: chrome is the only browser without hardware acceleration... [22:17] azeryu: what do you mean by "an option"? [22:17] PigeonCluster: on windows [22:17] azeryu, what option? [22:17] startup option [22:17] I think ubottu is a bot.. [22:17] happyface: firefox 3.7 has it too [22:17] happyface: (on windows) [22:17] and Opera [22:17] augustl: I said WITHOUT [22:17] Ulmo: I thought so, at least parted; you may need to 'install' gparted, you can install stuff with a livecd session as long as it doesn't require a reboot (like video drivers) [22:17] heh [22:18] happyface, er, no ..? chrome is the only browser i have ever heard of with it... [22:18] chrome has it, but it's in very early alpha afaik [22:18] can i remove airodump-ng?? what's command???? thanks [22:18] PigeonCluster: http://www.neowin.net/news/html5-speed-test-firefox-37-narrowly-beats-ie9-chrome-6-is-dead-last [22:18] VCoolio: I have gparted installed but it only shows a 320gb partition, despite ubuntu being installed alongside windows. [22:18] for example to reboot with this option : the generic kernel [22:19] can i remove airodump-ng?? what's command???? thanks [22:19] i have ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 desktop version installed to dual boot with windows 7 on my 3 month old laptop, and i have been having problems with it locking up when using ubuntu, i fear it's a heat problem because i'm not feeling as much heat from the output vent as i feel with windows. does anyone know of a cooling control script? btw, i'm on ubuntu now, so i could have lockup issues at any times [22:19] azeryu, what kernel is booted by default is determined by grub [22:19] !software | tanio [22:19] tanio: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [22:19] Does anyone know a way to take a password off an a passworded PDF file, I know the password, but I'd like to turn off password protection. [22:19] happyface, oh that. that means that it's doing GPGPU processing, iirc, something the microsoft crazies are taking advantage of. no, that's probably not even coming to other browsers on windows, much less ubuntu [22:19] happyface: talking about HTML5 is premature, it is not ready yet [22:19] my desktop and internet both have a choppy response takes about 3 seconds for text to catch up with me and about every 3 seconds it hangs like this..any ideas? [22:20] PigeonCluster: did you even read the article? get your facts straight [22:20] darolu: thanks === Hering_ is now known as broy-- [22:20] so what to do to able to boot with this ' generic kernel' ZykoticK9 [22:20] happyface, i read the first little bit, it mentions hardware acceleration, an i happen to know that microsoft was planning to use GPGPU in ie 9 [22:21] Ulmo: I'm not the man for this to debug; you don't overlook some 'scan' button? [22:21] azeryu, i'm unaware of a method of sending switched to grub / for rebooting to different kernels like that -- good luck man [22:21] PigeonCluster: yes, firefox 3.7, ie9, and opera have it [22:21] thanks [22:21] ;) [22:21] ok thanks a lot ZykoticK9 [22:22] is there a fix for the automounting usb thumb drive issue in x64 10.04? [22:22] VCoolio: That's ok. No there is no scan button, just one partition in /dev/sda/ 298.09gb. [22:22] i cant find my xorg conf, im on ubuntu 9.04 ..where can i dump .. paste .. my optimal video setttings for my ati card? [22:22] Is there a way to change the time zone per user? I live in EST but a server I have is in CST, and I want to make it so my user (And only my user) has EST time [22:22] old ati card [22:23] can i create a xorg conf ? will the system access to it ? [22:23] erUSUL: sorry for such an obvious question, but google wasn't giving up the goods. "loop" was the key. [22:23] dreamy_, my steps for generating an xorg http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [22:23] markedwords: no problem. we are here to help [22:23] dreamy_: it should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can create it [22:24] ty ZykoticK9 ... [22:24] VCoolio, so can i just create it ? [22:24] yes, but preferable with what Zykotick probably points to to get default entries [22:24] Hey guys Wubi Ubuntu hung up during grub instalation during new install. restarted, and am having small issues like constant 2 sec. long hang ups how can i fix this anybody?.Pleasehelp [22:25] VCoolio, considering that this new ubuntu doesnt brings xorg conf.. is there any new clever way of configuring things then? in this case my old atic ard [22:26] dreamy_: I know nothing of ati, it seems newer xorg knows automatically more than it used to; also there is a xorg.conf.d folder now to put files in, but I always forget what is for apps and what for user input; just use a xorg.conf file, who cares [22:27] k ty [22:27] i got a stupid question...how do i disconnect from ssh session? i did an ssh localhost [22:27] how do i get out [22:27] ? [22:27] hey peps [22:27] can any1 help me sorting a terminal problem ? [22:27] Hello. Quick question. I'm on a bandwidth cap in New Zealand. If I download the i386 version of Ubuntu, and install it on a 64-bit machine, will Ubuntu automatically update to the 64-bit kernel? The reason I ask is that I want to run it in a virtual machine first, which only supports 32-bit. [22:27] cannonfodder: quit should work [22:27] cannonball, "exit" [22:27] thanks [22:28] fensteguy: ask the real question [22:28] VCoolio: i want to copy paste with 2 clicks on mouse [22:28] i tried to add lines to get trackman wheel to work by adding marble man lines to conf file but no change [22:28] VCoolio: not 4 [22:28] Here's a question, how do I tell if ubuntu is installed within windows? [22:28] BrianBR: there's no update from 32 to 64 bit [22:29] Ocean: Thanks. Guess that means having to download both kernels at work then. [22:29] VCoolio: like the windows putty [22:29] fensteguy: well, click-and-drag to select, then middle mouse button to paste; I count 2 [22:29] fensteguy, highlighting will auto copy, then either middle mouse or right + left at the same time [22:29] so does anyone know of a cooling management script? [22:29] VCoolio: ty :)) it works :P [22:30] cya [22:30] installed "Pekwm" (a window manager) and chose it as the session on the login screen. It works, but gnome-panel does not snow up, for example. How can I fix that? === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [22:30] for now I just ran gnome-panel to start it by hand [22:30] funny sidenote: logging out via the power button doesn't work [22:31] I have this weird issue in 10.04 where all my keyboard button presses are load bump sounds if i hold down a key i'll get a couple and then the keyboard will start working. It used to work and just started happening. I've disconnected and reconnected the keyboard and have restarted a couple of times. does anyone know whats going on? [22:31] augustl: put it in startup apps for pekwm, don't know how that works; also I recommend tint2, much lighter; gnome-panel belongs to the gnome-session, so it shouldn't show up on an alternative wm [22:32] yay! (i reset my router) [22:32] VCoolio: so gnome-session is started by metacity? [22:32] shouldn't I just start that in pekwm? [22:32] augustl: the other way round I guess, metacity is the wm for gnome [22:32] Samual: you need to set environment variable e.g. TZ="/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables suggests using .pam_environment file according to it's particular syntax http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/pam_env.conf.5.html [22:32] VCoolio: is it not adviced to change the wm? [22:33] how many ppl here use mac [22:33] thune3, yeah, thanks but I already figured it out mostly [22:33] augustl: sure, whatever you like; and if you want gnome-panel, be our guest, it all should work [22:33] linu-: please don't take polls here, do you have any support questions? [22:34] Gnome panel is just too buggy [22:35] augustl: but the logout feature on gnome-panel supposes you're running a gnome-session, so that won't work indeed [22:35] osmodivs: If you're finding bugs, please report them! [22:35] VCoolio: is running a gnome-session with a different wm doable? [22:35] once you delete the volume icon, you have to do a clean reinstall of the gnome-panel..and good luck with that [22:35] augustl: yes, with compiz or xcompmgr [22:35] osmodivs: or you can just do a !panelreset [22:35] !panelreset | osmodivs [22:35] osmodivs: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:36] hello, i try to install ubuntu 7.04 on my 320gb sata 2 disk, but it doesn't recognize it what to do? [22:36] i tried in gparted but didn't show any disk :( [22:36] AcidX: Is there a reason you'er trying to install 7.04 and not a newer version? [22:36] How can I see how much free space my harddisk has? [22:36] graphic card problems [22:36] hey there. I've got an Xubuntu ISO here, that I want to stick onto a USB stick. What commands do that? [22:36] (aside from dd?) [22:36] Somelauw: df [22:37] AcidX: i had a similar problem, you need to be sure your sata card can handle sata2 [22:37] ... will tell you how much space you have on the filesystems. [22:37] where do i check sata card? [22:37] yo yo yo [22:38] actionParsnip: nononononon! CUUUT! [22:38] AcidX: bios/cmos is it shows that the drive is there, then it's detected. if not, you might either need a firmware upgrade, or to add a sata 2 card [22:38] Viking667, thanks [22:38] *if it [22:38] Viking667: you lost me [22:38] It's yo ho HO and a bottle of rum! [22:38] Sigh. We can't hire good help these days. [22:38] Viking667: always yo yo yo here dude, every day :D [22:38] The bios show the hdd, even ubuntu 10 does. But graphic card problems there [22:38] i have a 3 month old laptop that i just installed ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 desktop version on to dual boot with windows 7. my problem is that when running ubuntu the computer sometimes locks up forcing a power switch reboot. 7 has a cooling management section, and i suspect tthat my lockup issue is due to heat issues because the exaust vent isn't putting out near the heat sa it does in windows. does anyone know of a cooling management scr [22:38] ipt? [22:39] augustl: gnome-session is just the wm (default: metacity) with several daemons like gnome-settings-daemon and some authentication daemon etc, you can auto start those in any wm if you like (most people don't, it's why they shift wm's and de's); just try different wm's and use what you like best [22:39] ChrazRitt_: if you restart the X server does it unfreeze or is it super frozen? [22:39] VCoolio: I see, thanks [22:39] the only thing that responds is the power button [22:40] ChrazRitt_: if its a cheap unit (most acers do tyhis) then it will probably have a software monitor for heat rather than a decent hardware monitor to automate the activity [22:40] Anyone know what to do :)? [22:41] ChrazRitt_: head into the keyboard section under preferences and re-enable CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE when it locks, press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and see if the x server restarts [22:41] it is a hp pavilion dv7-dx, not some cheap machinr [22:41] ChrazRitt_: depends if they have scrimped on the cooling [22:42] are there any app launchers for ubuntu/gnome that are just that - app launchers? And doesn't search the web and index my documents and what not. [22:43] does anyone know if you can suppress the buddy join/part messages from "Indicator Applet"? [22:43] ChrazRitt_: do you have the latest BIOS? [22:43] augustl: like...if you were to drag something from your menu to your desktop? [22:43] under windows there is a software cooling control that is set to speed up the fan when the temp goes up, and under ubuntu i don't feel near as much heat from the vent [22:43] yes the latest bios [22:43] h00k: I would prefer to type it [22:43] gnome do without all the stuff that isn't app launching basically ;) [22:43] h00k: I have much more stuff installed on my computer than what fits on the desktop anyways [22:43] augustl: I don't really know what you're looking for. Starting things from a terminal? [22:44] augustl: alt+f2? [22:44] yay, alt + f2 looks sensible [22:44] ChrazRitt_: can you tab com[plete my nick if you are addressing me, it makes it a LOT easier to read [22:44] sorry actionParsnip [22:45] would someone help me configuring a ssh server? I am trying to login from another machine and it doesnt seem to find my machine .... [22:45] I have Pidgin setup as a chat client of to facebook, So it gets rather annoying to see every 5 seconds "xyz is online", "xyz is offline" [22:45] just curious of https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-applet/+bug/597784 was redundant. [22:45] is there a light weight task bar, like tint2, that allows me to select a window by mouse over? [22:45] all my responces were to your questions/comments actionParsnip [22:45] TodoInTX: use the plugin in the main screen to disable that stuff# [22:46] ChrazRitt_: i know, its just hard to read in a sea of text, addressing me highlights the text so is very easy to pick out ;) [22:46] soo is there any chance to get that disk recognized or not :(? [22:46] actionParsnip, i realized it when you brought up the name thing [22:47] actionParsnip: you mean inside Pidgin, just like : http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50810941/Join_Part-hiding.png [22:47] which doesn't work. [22:47] isn't a .png a graphics file? [22:48] yes [22:48] i got ubuntu 9.10 i Can't find menu.lst [22:48] is that normal ? [22:48] it's in /boot/grub [22:48] yes but not on my pc [22:48] azeryu: its grub.cfg [22:48] it is stange [22:48] ChrazRitt: right, Portable Network Graphics [22:48] !grub2 | azeryu [22:48] azeryu: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [22:48] good [22:49] TodoInTX: yeah man [22:49] TodoInTX, are you saying that the graphics file is broken then? [22:49] azeryu: its not strange, 9.10 is not using grub legancy, so there is no menu.lst [22:49] so my bug report is probably correct. [22:49] ok fine i understand [22:49] ChrazRitt_: if you install lm-sensors and watch the temperature when it hangs, see if its heat related. Should show high temp. Also feel the device to see if its hot. I'd also run a memory test from grub (hold shift at boot) [22:50] ChrazRitt_: no I'm saying that the setting show in my screen shot isn't disabling join/part messages in the Indicator Applet [22:50] now i want to boot with this option generic kernel [22:50] actionParsnip, do you know of a script that includes cooling control, or can contain a cooling control command? [22:50] what i have to change ? [22:50] Can anyone help me overcome this:Errors were encountered while processing: [22:50] lirc [22:50] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [22:50] <_pg_> would anyone know how to use an unsupported tv tuner on ubuntu? I found someone doing it with the same model here http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg18996.html but i dont even know how to start [22:51] _pg_: uh, unsupported usually means "can't use it" [22:51] <_pg_> another question, why does the grub list get longer and longer over time? [22:51] <_pg_> TodoInTX: i know this but the guy at that link is doing it [22:52] zimbres: so, you have 2 linux machines, one running an ssh server, and a client? [22:52] _pg_: because grub is showing all installed kernels,so the list is getting bigger after a kernel-update [22:52] ok well from what i can tell over the phone i think the video card on my friends PC is having problems.. so he wnats to try replacing it.. its an agp 8x and i'm wondering is there a list out there of popular / known solid agp 8x cards i can refer him to so we know that the video card is very supported on the new ubuntu release? [22:52] <_pg_> iceroot: isnt that annoying? [22:52] _pg_: every time you upgrade the linux-kernel package a new entry is added to the list. It gives you the ability to boot into an older kernel if something goes wrong. [22:52] <_pg_> \ [22:52] _pg_: why? === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [22:52] ChrazRitt_: no idea dude, i'm sure there are commands, you could use cpufreq to clock the cpu when it gets hot but it sounds like theres a cheap software heat management in there, lm-sensors will highlight this [22:53] <_pg_> iceroot: its just ugly. can you put them in like a "older kernels" choice or something? [22:53] oCean_, I am trying to login from my university in my home pc, for example ... and it doesnt seem to find my machine [22:53] actionParsnip, the vent where the heat normally comes out is much cooler than normal, but i never felt around the rest of the machinr for heat levels [22:53] when i start my pc i got a list of choice that it appear [22:53] _pg_: once you're sure the upgrade is working fine, just remove the old kernels entries [22:53] how to see all those choice from the command line ? [22:53] <_pg_> TodoInTX: ohhh how do I do that? [22:54] would someone scan 189.55.163.211 for open ports please, do not know whether this is a firewall issue or a miss-configured ssh server ... [22:54] i mean a command line able to see list of boot choice [22:54] what is it ? [22:54] oCean_, would someone scan 189.55.163.211 for open ports please, do not know whether this is a firewall issue or a miss-configured ssh server ... [22:55] zim [22:55] how can i kill a chicken? [22:55] <_pg_> ahhh gotta run. later chaps! [22:55] actionParsnip, in 7 there is a cooling management section where it is currently set to speed up the fan before slowing the cpu, and so there is some software control options, therefore i suspect my issue is caused by the fan not being controled [22:55] kill chicken [22:55] broy--, in ubuntu? [22:55] anyone? is there a known good 8x AGP list that will work well with new release of ubuntu? [22:55] broy--: stop it [22:56] need helpbuntu? let me know [22:56] Cpt_Zyph: say what? [22:56] hi. is it recommended to setup firewall with ubuntu? [22:56] act, that monitor is easy to find in the package manager? [22:56] Dynetrekk, sure [22:56] Guest54599: it's not on by default? [22:57] actionParsnip, that htemp monitor is in the package manager? [22:57] Dynetrekk: it's always a good idea to have atleast one firewall running on your network [22:57] Dynetrekk, nope [22:57] bluefox83: I suppose the routermodem is one, effectively [22:58] Dynetrekk: yep [22:58] bluefox83: so I'm good then [22:58] Dynetrekk: should be [22:59] how to see all those choice from the command line ? [22:59] bluefox83: I set up an ssh server. surprised how many people try to break in! [22:59] azeryu: usually, -h does it [22:59] !sensor | ChrazRitt_ [22:59] Dynetrekk: really? i have an ssh server running on my home server and no one ever tries to get in... [22:59] !sensors [22:59] 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. [22:59] do you get my question ? [23:00] when you turn on your pc there are list of choice that it appear [23:00] oCean_, ? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk === binni is now known as brynjarh [23:00] need helpbuntu? let me know [23:00] i want to see the list of choice from the terminal [23:00] !grub | azeryu [23:00] azeryu: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [23:00] what command ? [23:00] bluefox83: but I set up the routermodem to forward outside connections, so it's available from the interwebs [23:00] zimbres: no answers on ssh port from that ip. nmap says host is down. Guess that might be due to router/firewall [23:01] azeryu: run: sudo update-grub and read the bottom few lines, those are the options yu will see in grub [23:01] Dynetrekk: mine is on my router's dmz list, i set it there so i can ssh in from school and chat on irc :) [23:01] hi [23:01] oCean_, DO you think the ISP is blocking connections to that port? [23:02] hi walaky [23:02] Dynetrekk: one way to foil people's trying to get in is to change the server port to something else, i use 2020 [23:02] bluefox83: ah, heh, funny thing. well, there's someone who's guessing passwords and user accounts like crazy. I demand key login. though [23:02] bluefox83: ah right, but if someone guesses that.. [23:02] Dynetrekk: true, but they would have to check all your ports to find out what's being served from what port [23:03] zimbres: Don't think so, unless the system is actually situated at the ISP [23:03] this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/455197/ actionParsnip n [23:03] Dynetrekk, you can use denyhosts to auto-block people after a number of wrong guesses. [23:03] Dynetrekk: it's not a perfect solution, but it slows e'm down a little [23:03] bluefox83: you're right I guess. shishire: but I require key logon, which is much stronger [23:03] oCean_, I am using the machine righ now , how can it seem to be down? [23:04] hello all [23:04] actionParsnip, i'm having dependency issues with the install [23:04] Dynetrekk, no, of course. But if the attempts bother you, or consume resources, or clutter up your logs... [23:04] zimbres: Don't know. So you are connected to the machine? In what way? Webserver? === max is now known as Guest62949 [23:05] azeryu: looks like you have changed your hostname in /etc/hostname but not in /etc/hosts [23:05] oCean_, this my home pc [23:05] ChrazRitt_: then get them satisfied [23:05] ubuntu rocks [23:05] Guest54599: yes it does [23:05] shishire: clutter logs I guess, but I don't have to read them.. [23:05] Guest54599, oh yeah :D [23:05] Guest54599: its ok [23:05] shishire: I find it rather odd that someone bothers trying [23:06] ok thanks a lot [23:06] Dynetrekk, it's scriptkiddies. They're out there, and they don't know any better. [23:06] ibye [23:06] u [23:06] shishire: they've got nothing better to do then. there's nothing on that pc (yet) [23:06] zimbres: aha. I get a ping reply, but another item in the network could do that. nmap does not receive responses from given ip. You could install "tcpdump" and see if there is inbound traffic [23:06] Dynetrekk: i also run a media server from my server machine, so anyone who found the address/port could easily download any files from my server machien (yes, that means mediatomb is not the most secure server ever...) [23:07] bluefox83: I tried mediatomb, it looks kinda stupid (for those reasons) [23:07] bluefox83: but couldn't you firewall mediatombs ports from outside? [23:07] My other problem... I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 onto a x86_64, it didn't like the video card for some reason (gave a horizontal zebra stripe pattern on the screen), I tried the Alternate installer, but still get that zebra stripe when it boots. [23:07] Dynetrekk: it's the only server i could get running for free that i can actually get to work with my ps3 [23:07] Dynetrekk: yes i could [23:08] the alt. installer works ok, to get the system loaded but doesn't give me a chance to fix the display in a txt only mode [23:08] re [23:08] What do people consider to be the best iPod (non-Touch) sync app? [23:09] is there some grub boot option I should give to grub to get it to skip the bootsplash? [23:09] bluefox83: ah no, there's ps3 media server. it's not great, but it's the best, after all [23:09] bluefox83: it converts files and whatnot, it's pretty nice [23:09] bkadoctaj, I used to use gtkpod back when I still had an iPod [23:09] bkadoctaj: gtkpod i have heard of (I dont use crappy ipods) [23:09] trying to figure out all the packages that are needed now actionParsnip [23:10] TodoInTX: edit /etc/default/grub and remove quiet splash then run: sudo update-grub [23:10] i need help, I hava Dell studio 1555 notebook. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64bit) i see vga card memory and i see only 128 Mb [23:10] Okay, well, I'd be happy not to use my iPod but I bought it years ago and it still works great. When it breaks, no more Apple. [23:10] Dynetrekk: the machine i have the server running on is really old, it's got a 2ghz proc and one gig of ram on it, i don't think it can convert movies very well [23:10] actionParsnip: can't get that far, goes zebra stripe during bootsplash. [23:10] Dynetrekk: also mediatomb will do that too, if you know how to make it [23:10] and i just took my server machine off dmz and forwarded the ssh port :D [23:11] TodoInTX: then use a live cd and edit the files on the internal partitions there [23:11] bluefox83: oh well, it streams music and whatever too. it seemed easier - to me - than mediatomb. and my laptop converts video while streaming, and it uses... 20% cpu max [23:12] Dynetrekk: mediatomb will also do music and pictures :) [23:12] Walaky: Is your VGA using shared memory? [23:12] Walaky, how do you see it [23:12] bluefox83: right. well, the video converseion was the best selling point for me, really. [23:12] darn. [23:12] i just realized that i'm here twice === Hering is now known as broy- [23:13] Dynetrekk: what's the name of the server you use? and where can i get it? [23:13] what's a command I can use to write an iso to a USB stick? I think I need to reinstall ubuntu. [23:13] Walaky: Which VGA is installed btw? === ChrazRitt_ is now known as ChrazRitt [23:13] i think My video card is not use shared memory [23:13] Viking667: use usb-creator or unetbootin [23:14] this card is ati radeon 4570 HD [23:14] bluefox83: 2s [23:14] hey i tried the Xorg -configure [23:14] Walaky: have you installed the ati drivwer? [23:14] and it did not work [23:14] http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/ [23:16] i use ati/amd FGLRX grafic driver [23:16] Walaky, what is that [23:16] ?? [23:18] how to see what you my system [23:18] ah. Thank you. I'd forgotten their names. [23:19] guys...can someone i tried the Xorg configure command [23:19] i see system/admin/devicedriver [23:19] dos anyone know whats wrong with the moc package? opening music takes forever [23:19] and then it gives me this xorg.conf/home/rXXXX/xorg.conf.new [23:19] ugh, wtf happened to /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:20] gone [23:20] people trying the get fancy [23:21] TodoInTX: upgraded to grub2 recently, edit /etc/default/grub now, see !grub2 [23:22] I do not obtain to install these packages, Because? http://pastebin.com/3ZtyZd5X [23:22] opss [23:22] why* [23:22] I do not obtain to install these packages, Why? http://pastebin.com/3ZtyZd5X [23:23] So my Ubuntu doesn't have the touchpad tab in System > Mouse... but the funny thing is (well, I suppose it's funny) is that two finger scrolling works and the touchpad in general works [23:23] two finger tap == center click works [23:23] so on some level either Ubuntu recognizes it or it's exposed as a regular mouse [23:24] m nlnln [23:24] !grub2 [23:24] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:26] VCoolio: thanks [23:27] hello [23:28] hi [23:28] is there any software or way to easily change pci latency? [23:28] they still have chromium as like a more testing version of chrome for ubuntu? my backspace key doesnt work... :( [23:29] use chrome [23:29] how can I switch window managers with out killing my current one? I tried downloading fusion-icon but it only sees metacity and compiz. not sawfish [23:29] ShrekLappy: chromium is the open source project behind chrome. It is available as daily build in a PPA. [23:30] great... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305238&page=2 [23:30] ugh [23:31] try synaptic [23:32] Hello everyone [23:32] Globalmenu vs Docky.. discuss!

Thanks! [23:33] i am recieving a furry of errors. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/miYLSgP2 the end is pretty confusing. i tried apt-get --fix-missing but i still recieve the same errors. any ideas? [23:34] am i still here? [23:34] ChrasRitt: yes u are [23:35] thanks gbillings [23:35] why don't all of the devs team up and work on one distro? this is the only way it will advance. [23:35] Adem, use ubuntu [23:35] !ot [23:35] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:35] adem people have diffrent goals? [23:35] my wireless device shut down for a few seconds [23:35] example? [23:35] people have other demands that need to be met [23:35] ooh, even better google-chrome-unstable [23:36] shrek, dl the latest from the site [23:36] www.google.com/chrome [23:36] ubuntu has many distos too [23:36] yes, but i want version 6.x [23:36] has anyone found a solution for my problem http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/miYLSgP2 ? [23:36] and stable is 5.x [23:36] ShrekLappy, try chromium [23:36] ennui: they are 2 solutions to the same problem, both have advantages and disadvantages [23:37] what distros [23:37] Does Linux/Ubuntu have an overclocking - benchmark program? [23:37] like i'd imagine ubuntu and ubuntustudio have many diffrences..so far i prefer studio version [23:37] Adem, many distros are addressing things that the developers think atr important [23:37] Shrek: theres the chromium daily build too, nice bleeding edge :) [23:37] sup [23:37] whar is "ubuntustudio"? [23:37] ShrekLappy: ^ [23:37] actionParsnip: been using docky though it seems a bit limited. I guess I will try globalmenu out. both require compositing from your window manager to work I imagine [23:38] actionParsnip, i saw that, i have my stuff synced does syncing work with chromium too? extensions and such? id love to be bleeding edge [23:38] anyone seen wine-doors is dieing?! no repositories [23:38] chazritt I can see where your coming from but dont you think linux would be a much more advance os at this stage if all of those devs worked together? [23:38] corporation haliburton? [23:38] and can ubuntustudio be installed from the repos? [23:38] think so [23:38] ShrekLappy: yeah its the same bag. Theres also this: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel#TOC-Linux [23:38] is it possible to reduce the cpu frequency in ubuntu? [23:38] damn...still no backspace key [23:38] ShrekLappy: the daily build is compiled by a bot [23:39] I remember seeing studio packages in synaptic [23:39] actionParsnip, ill take a look into that thanks :) [23:39] ah, cool [23:39] Adem, yeah [23:39] adem many thiings could break...some would have idea's and methods that would work against the others...but yes a concerted effort is probably already done at various points [23:39] maybe by sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt [23:40] gbillings give him the web addy that you got that from [23:40] Adem, do you think that people working to make an os for cutting edge hardware want to be slowed down by considerations of making sure the os will still run really old hardware? [23:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu [23:40] there are other things after install that need to be done as well [23:40] Dynetrekk: yes, see manual page for "cpufreq-selector" [23:40] manual page? [23:40] check this out when trying to run that 0 packages upgraded, 443 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [23:40] Need to get 867MB of archives. After unpacking 2,184MB will be used. [23:41] Anyone know what the off topic hcannel name is? thanks [23:41] !ot [23:41] Dynetrekk: also available as applet for the panel [23:41] people with really old hardware arent suprior [23:41] hellothere: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:41] hi all I have just bought an acer one 0A751 Graphics isn't setup I neet some help (the graphics card is GMA500 psb) [23:41] lol? [23:41] oCean_: you can set the speed from the applet? thought it was only monitoring [23:41] would anyone be able with getting the old Wine-Doors repositories to mirror locally? [23:41] who says the new hardware is better? its faster but could be made cheaply?? [23:41] adem, nether are people with cutting edge hardware [23:42] any support for the GMA500 poulsbo ? [23:42] Dynetrekk: you can also adjust through applet. Or from commandline using cpufreq-selector [23:42] Right. I'll be back in about 30 secs [23:42] oCean_: hm, okay... I'll have to look into that then [23:42] oCean_: do I need to install a package? [23:42] yes, we pay more, we are suprior [23:42] ocean i want a gui or applet version [23:42] imho there shoule be room for both [23:42] brb [23:42] adem thats pretty ignorant [23:42] Dynetrekk: I thinks it's default [23:43] sheesh. Dancing around, just to get Ubuntu installed. [23:43] its valid arguement [23:43] so i want to write this script or small program to tile the two last active windows [23:43] hey [23:43] Personnes parle le Français ici. [23:43] :$ [23:43] adem we could make a room or go to offtopic if you'd like to argue or debate [23:43] i looked around a bit for libraries and stuff but didn't find all tha much [23:43] How does one go about right clicking the desktop if you have a window open on fluxbox? [23:43] you know how you can move around workspaces by hitting ctrl + alt + direction? [23:43] for starters, how would i programatically obtain a usable reference to the last two active windows? [23:44] Can any of you do ctrl + alt + upleft? [23:44] n8 [23:44] Adem, i have a pretty new lappy here, it's hard to find distros that are up to date enough to run my sound hardware, but if my old lappy was still working i would want a distro that would run it too [23:44] that is not what i want rikkimaru and yes i know all that === Ulmo is now known as Ulmo-lord-of-the [23:44] though i don't find workspaces particulary usefull and i don't use them all that much [23:44] ChrazRitt, what sound hardware do you use [23:44] adem thats what got me into using ubuntu..it worked on very very old machines [23:44] plainas, I wasn't trying to answer your question... I'm trying to see if ctrl + alt + upleft works for anyone. It doesn't for me === Ulmo-lord-of-the is now known as Ulmo-lord-of-wat === Ulmo-lord-of-wat is now known as Ulmo-lord-waters [23:45] upleft? [23:45] I didn't say the distro had to be more usage hungry, I just said it would be BETTER, so whatever you defined as better. [23:45] up and left at the same time [23:45] you can move diagonally [23:45] works as if it would be only ctrl+left [23:45] solid? stabil and less sytem latency is somethng i like [23:45] 10.04 usage hungry :( [23:45] Guest54599, i have ati hdmi sounhd hardware, and ubuntu runs it thanks [23:46] monox that depends on what your running [23:46] plainas, do you have enough workspaces for it to be able to move diagonally? [23:46] the os itself is very light [23:46] pcilatency: if you have old systems then i'd use puppy, or xpud [23:46] rikkimaru, no i don't [23:46] pcilatency: you can make ubuntu lighter by using a light desktop like fluxbox or LXDE [23:46] ye I have a toughbook cf30 and for sum reason 10.04 runs vary laggy (dual core, 512ram, 128video [23:47] #wormux [23:47] rikkimaru, workd great for me [23:47] #join wormux [23:47] pings [23:47] lol [23:47] h [23:47] hmm monox have you installed drivers for the video card? [23:47] monoxide: kill compiz and use openbox and it will be slicker [23:47] plainas, but you just said you didn't have a workspace there to move to... [23:47] cant you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop ? [23:47] ocean_ thanks [23:47] rikkimaru, i set it to 8 workspaces [23:47] two rows [23:47] its intel pcilatency I dont know there really are drivers [23:48] actionParsnip, thanks I will give it a try [23:48] :) [23:48] rikkimaru, hold ctrl+alt, then you can move around the workspaces with the arrowkeys.. doesn't that work? [23:48] anybody know how to install UO razor on lucid lynx, ive already done the sh dotnet20 [23:48] monox yes..intel i810 workx up to i895 i believe or intel extream gfx / intell 3d accellerater [23:48] etc [23:48] plainas, all the directions do except the upleft diagonal [23:48] plainas, i'm beginning to think its a keyboard thing [23:49] maybe higher up to i945 [23:49] pcilatency, is there a command where I can give/get more info on my video like an ls of the device [23:49] mmm [23:49] its based on what chipsets you have anyway [23:49] the whole system is intel based [23:50] upleft per se i dunno... it aparently doesn't move diagonals... but if you press up then left...? [23:50] excluding the 3g modem etc [23:50] and system latency would suffer if the chipset is not configure optimally [23:50] monoxide: as suggested earlier, make sure you have your video drivers installed. the system should be able to run a full gnome / compiz desktop but I am not sure what video chip you are running [23:50] so guess those two keys do not work if pressed simultaniously [23:50] * Adem is away: AFK [23:50] monoxide: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [23:50] !away > Adem [23:50] Adem, please see my private message [23:50] thanks actionParsnip [23:50] plainas, but they do for you? [23:50] My current resolution 1280x1024 and ubuntu 10.04 looks very good at that res. But whenever i restart, the loading screen with Ubuntu ..... is very ugly and low-res. How can i make that screen look normal and change it to a 1280x1024 resolution? [23:51] monoxide: you can use the output to find guides [23:51] plainas, the other diagonals work fine for me [23:51] Display controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics for example [23:51] rikkimaru, point is: i don't know... if press them at the same time, it looks to me that it moves first in one direction then in the other, hence having the effect of moving diagonaly [23:51] 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated [23:51] now, does it really matters? [23:51] plainas, oh, you should be able to tell from the arrow [23:52] plainas, it points in the direction it moved [23:52] gbillings: http://wawan-kurniawan.web.id/fixed-plymouth-when-using-nvidia-driver-in-ubtuntu-10-04/ [23:52] plainas, no it doesn't matter, i'm just curious if it's a gnome thing or my keyboard [23:52] :) brb google time [23:52] rikkimaru, what do you mean it points? [23:52] are there any RoR programmers in here? im having issues w .autotest files and getting no help in #rubyonrails ... [23:52] mine just shows a grid in which a 'cell' is higlighted [23:52] hmm [23:52] asctionParsnip: im not using nvidia driver im using ati integraded graphics. [23:52] then i move around the lite cell [23:52] simple as that [23:53] plainas, sounds like it's configured differently [23:53] plainas, you use gnome? [23:53] mono the drivers should be detected if it's enabled in bios..and installed automatically? should be anyway [23:53] rikkimaru, gnome, no compiz, mist theme [23:53] ocean where is this cpu-freq manual? [23:53] Hi! I want to learn dvorak and is looking for a way to switch between my general keyboard layout (swedish) and the dvorak one with a hotkey. [23:54] asctionParsnip: btw i have burg installed over grub [23:54] so since apparently no one has got the answer to my quesiton... [23:54] Is there a way to do this? [23:54] ?? [23:54] how do you guys use desktops? i can't find any use to them [23:55] gbillings: might be similar, you are basically telling the boot to use the framebuffer driver instead of vesa [23:55] plainas > I use one desktop only for virtualbox and a xp virtual machine [23:55] gbillings: if you use tab it will complete my nick and be accurate [23:56] civixier, since the keybinding wont work when you're in full screen mode, doesn't sound like it's more practical than a simplee window [23:56] actionParsnip: what do you meen "use tab" i have no idea what your talking about [23:56] gbillings: i'd look around on burg forums. burg is a 3rd party app so is hard to support [23:56] gbillings: you mistyped my nick earlier, making it not highlight [23:57] actionParsnip, ok got it thanks for the tab hint, my res is fine in grub but just bad when loading... [23:57] gbillings: try the guide, it should work [23:58] actionParsnip, alright i will try it out after im done upgrading to ubuntustudio [23:58] autotest guru anyone?? ;D [23:58] I have set both SOCKS_SERVER and SOCKS_VERSION properly but then also I am not able to use chromium through SOCKS proxy? Any idea? [23:58] anyone enjoying whiskey atm? [23:59] peturi... is that a software or the actuall drink? i had a bit of AGUARDENTE [23:59] !info whiskey [23:59] Package whiskey does not exist in lucid [23:59] plainas: whisky is a drink [23:59] peturi: what does it do? [23:59] how to make nvidia 180 listed in hardware drivers ? [23:59] hey [23:59] actionParsnip: it makes your gum feel funny [23:59] peturi: how is that related to ubuntu support? [23:59] peturi, i always enjoy whiskey haha [23:59] is there any way for me to completely remoev all users from my linux?
