[00:00] Ricky123, y [00:00] i mean, remove all of the passwords so they cannot login [00:00] only with a ppk file or whateva [00:00] actionParsnip: It makes me feel more helpful and a bit more talky, so i come here to help users [00:00] Ricky123, would you like to delete the home directories as well? [00:01] peturi: lol no [00:01] Ricky123: so remove all users but keep their files? [00:01] peturi: i just want to create a user and then set it back to the way it is now whereby nobody can login unless they got the private key [00:02] private key .. you mean a password? [00:02] hi ! [00:02] no, i dont have any passwords on my ubuntu [00:02] how do i find a govener for my p4 northwood? [00:02] *sigh* [00:02] Hi - I deleted an LVM logical volume and created a new one to mount in the same place. I updated my fstab with the new UUID, but now Ubuntu won't boot without manual intervention - I get a purple (Lucid) screen telling me that the mount wasn't ready and I need to press "S" to skip it. [00:02] HOw do I run chrome through SOCKS proxy? [00:02] the only way to login is to use a private key file and then if it works, it asks you what user you want to be and you type that in [00:02] Does anyone know what's happened? [00:02] so much for _that_ idea. [00:03] pcilatency: what is a govener? [00:03] sudo cpufreq-selector -g [00:03] why cap a p4?! [00:03] I should add that I can mount the drive just fine without complaints manually. [00:03] monoxide: lower power usage [00:03] its not a cap [00:03] monoxide: hm, to improve the cooling? [00:03] understandable [00:03] Ricky123: I have never thougt of logging into the system using a keyfile, sorry. [00:04] it lets me decide how i want it to be scaled if supported.. which it isn't but it can be overclocked [00:04] peturi: ya, they use is especially when accessing a server instance in cloud computing environments [00:04] you specify the key file to putty [00:04] hmm [00:04] installing xorg video drivers needs alot of diffrent dep's [00:05] sudo cpufreq-selector -f 32000000 <_ is this the correct way to set it to 3.2ghz? [00:05] has anyone experience with installing pureftpd? [00:05] YOU NEED TO INSTALL IT [00:05] RfooTfoo: nope just vsftpd [00:05] RfooTfoo, What do you need to know? [00:05] mono? no it only needs one? [00:05] maybe 3 [00:05] Ricky123: passwordless rsa authendication using a keyfile, ye? [00:06] RfooTfoo: ftp isnt very secure. sftp will give a more secure connection. If you are only accessing over lan then its fine but i would suggest it over wan [00:06] (Sorry for my bad English) Is it better to update Ubuntu formatting the partition again or is it the same if I just use the upgrade option? [00:06] * SlynX !! [00:06] sftp is ftp [00:06] just with a cert and encryption [00:06] on number 2 lol [00:06] for example from 9.10 to 10.04 [00:06] gperaltascura: upgrade is good [00:06] lots of just updates [00:06] gperaltascura: backup /etc/ and /home/ and do a fresh install [00:06] Je vous apprendre tout ce que vous voulez.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [00:06] what is the difference? [00:07] so maybe using pureftp isnt good? [00:07] peturi: , yes that is what i'm using right now. But i'd like to temporarily create an admin password and then when I get home put it back to the way it is now [00:07] yea my nvidia drivers just updated not too long ago...but still 173...probably had to re-install after a os updated [00:07] gperaltascura: I have run into grub problems, and some programmes not being updated properly... [00:07] peturi: do you know how i can do it? [00:07] RfooTfoo: the data transmitted as well as passwords used are all sent in plain text [00:07] Can anyone help? I just deleted a LVM logical volume and replaced it with another, smaller volume, same mount point. I updated the UUID (and formatted the drive), and tested that mounting manually works - it does. But now I can't boot up without having to press a key (s) to skip past mounting the partition. [00:07] id like to be able to manage the users easy as Im using this to access a webserver for hosting. [00:08] ok, thank you [00:08] when why do you need a demon? RfooTfoo [00:08] RfooTfoo: how to do certificate based authenication: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=252 [00:08] it would just be a client [00:09] how do i install or force support for overclocking a p4 northwood? [00:09] how do i get a list of the two last active windows? [00:09] peturi: , will passwd --delete username work? [00:09] is there a way to have ubuntu autodetect my sound card drivers?? [00:09] delinquentme, y [00:10] bc my sounds not working [00:10] I can't figure out how to convert an evolution mail folder to sylpheed claws. I want to keep the folder structure too. [00:10] yes i tried the volume :D [00:10] My Internet is reeeaaalll slow at my house but works fine everywhere else. I am using lucid lynx and am a beginner to ubuntu. Can anyone help? [00:10] eblume, did you double check your fstab then [00:10] contact your isp [00:10] Ricky123: You want to create a NEW user account with the same access to the system as the 'root' ? [00:10] nsmith: define real slow and how do you know it's slow? [00:10] other computers work much faster and dont have a problem [00:11] email converstion, anybody? [00:11] nsmith is it wifi or cable? [00:11] wifi [00:11] nsmith: disable ipv6 === SlynX is now known as SlynX`Aw [00:11] mark why do that? [00:11] wildbat: Actually I did, but I just found a typo. However the typo was introduced AFTER the screen first showed up. I'll give this a new try and come back if it failed. [00:11] hmmm [00:12] peturi: well, maybe i could just set a root password and use that acct and then somehow remove the pasword. passwd --delete root should work to remove right? [00:12] how about a safe-list for sites you'd like firefox to automatically run flash on? [00:12] thanks Blue1 [00:12] mark? [00:12] once i've manually compiled and built something, how do i remove it? [00:12] ipv6 setting is set to ignore. Is this correct or is there another way to disable? [00:12] delinquentme, what is your sound [00:12] Ricky123: password --delete user, will do the trick. [00:12] that should be fine smith [00:12] gunther44, you dont [00:12] you mean what soundcard? [00:13] Howbout a forum recommendation for email conversion? [00:13] Hello, all. [00:13] delinquentme, yeah [00:13] mark why would disbaling ipv6 help with wifi speeds? [00:13] dude im getting sound! but not out of anything but this hollow drum hit [00:13] peturi: Ricky123 : to re-disable root use: sudo usermod -p '!' root [00:13] Sorry for being one of those "I only came here to ask a question" -- but I've got a weird one. [00:13] gunther44: depends how you installed and if there are remove rules; if you did 'sudo make install' do 'sudo make uninstall' in the build folder [00:13] y to ask questions on one line, don't use enter as punctuation [00:13] 3Kanalýn Kuruluþ Tarihi: Wed Jun 09 20:19:32 2010 [00:13] Baþlýk yazan: Pici [00:13] Uyarý: Lütfen kanal genelinde Siyasi,politik ve maç sohbetleri yapmayalým Kimseyi kýrmayalým.

[00:14] anyone know where I can locate xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.6.99.900) [00:14] Ah well, off to #debian, bye all. [00:14] can not find it in any ppa [00:15] wildbat: Well color me confused. I checked it several times and found nothing before coming here, and the moment you tell me to check my fstab again, I find an error and it fixes it. Thanks! [00:15] Monoxide: Get Ubuntu-tweak.

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

It works just fine [00:21] no [00:21] peturi: its NOT supported. to logon as root you need a root password, ubottu clearly shows "We do not support having a root password set" SO IT IS ERGO NOT SUPPORTED [00:21] wildbat: system> preferences>energy then go to the "main" tab [00:22] general [00:22] ** [00:22] monoxide, i don't want shutdown i want standby/sleep/suspend [00:22] next!

Just because it's not enabled by default doesn't mean it's not supported. Your argument is invalid as far as i can see, using it I could argue that anonymous ftp access it not supported as well.

I see "an error occurred" from the update manager with the follwing details: http://pastebin.com/HAZWvVea [00:24] peturi: maybe you don't but if you don't know then say it is supported, then you look foolish [00:24] phil_: use software sources to change to a different server [00:25] actionParsnip: How do I do that? Can you give me more details? [00:25] phil_: system -> administration -> software sources [00:26] any more helpbuntu request [00:26] actionParsnip: openSSH clearly supports logging as root and the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config file shipped on the Ubuntu 10.04 CD contains the line "PermitRootLogin yes", so from all i can see its supported, please refer me to a documentation showing otherwise. [00:26] phil_: chose a different server, see if its ok [00:26] yes Guest54599 ur annoying [00:27] actionParsnip: Okay, and are you suggesting I change the server under the "Ubuntu Software" tab or one of the others? Under "Ubuntu Software," I have the option of either "Server for United States" or "Main Server." Should I change to "Main Server?" [00:27] y [00:27] phil_: worth a shot [00:27] your not even taking part in convo, just typing useless things [00:28] phil_: http://www.techhamlet.com/2010/04/ubuntu-select-faster-server/ [00:28] I know how to change launcher icons in the gnome menu. But there icons remain unchanged as far as what the window switcher shows. and some applications (chromium) seem to resist even the gnome menu icon change. any tips? does one have to delve into the source code to change icons in linux? :( [00:29] peturi: maybe but if the account is disabld its not going to work [00:29] Can someone help me figure out what's killing off firefox, skype, and some of my 3D programs? They each die for different reasons, but Skype dies from sigabort, Firefox seems to die from sigsev, and the 3D program I'm trying dies because it doesn't recognise the vendor string from glxinfo (it says Bruce someone instead of SGI) [00:30] Does anyone in this channel have a suggestion as to why uncommenting %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL would NOT enable no-password use of sudo? [00:30] Viking667, what ubuntu are you using [00:30] 10.04 with Studio-ubuntu packages added. [00:30] theres a method of using no pw for sudo [00:30] * monoxide runs [00:31] monoxide: That's what I'm trying to do. [00:31] peturi [00:31] Using the method which is built-into the /etc/sudoers file. [00:31] i tried chaning ubuntu user password with passwd command and it says, passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [00:31] IConrad01: that's pretty unsafe, of course [00:31] Viking667: 'course it is. [00:31] ahh ye someone was saying something about that earlier I just have not googled it [00:32] how do i set pci latencies? [00:32] peturi, nm, i had to sudo [00:32] RickyWh: right [00:32] RickyWh: sudo passwd >someUserHere< didn't do it ? [00:32] your ubuntu may be broken [00:33] yes it did [00:33] RickyWh: so you just missed sudo then, have fun [00:33] peturi, but when I try to login without using my private key file with putty [00:33] "No supported authentication methods avialable" [00:34] RickyWh: if you boot to root recovery console, can you do it there? [00:34] MaRk-I: Thank you. The updates seem to be installing smoothly now. [00:34] IConrad01, thanks for the ubuntu tweak app suggestion it seems pretty easy to use to get all the updates [00:34] RickyWh: What's in your /etc/shadow file? [00:34] phil_: yw [00:34] still looking for the update I need tho [00:35] RickyWh: Did you by any change manually change the /etc/passwd or the /etc/shadow file? [00:35] monoxide: You want the "Source Center" 'tab' , and it's near the very bottom. [00:35] X something or other. [00:35] peturi, nothing exists in that file [00:35] NOT "fresh crack" [00:35] anyone use syscp? [00:35] RickyWh: read it using sudo. [00:35] IConrad01: xswat [00:35] Oh ya, tons of stuff in here [00:35] ok :) [00:36] Do this: sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep UserNameHere [00:36] peturi, there is an entry for both root and ubuntu and tons of others in there [00:36] Same thing for sudo cat /etc/shadow | grep UserNameHere [00:36] I.e.; sudo cat /etc/shadow | grep RickyWh [00:37] What's that put out? Don't CNP that here -- it has your password, MD5-encrypted. [00:37] no output [00:37] oh wait [00:37] You replaced "RickyWh" with your actual username? === miguel is now known as Guest20353 [00:37] ya big long string [00:37] RickyWh: the error you gave: This error indicates that PuTTY has run out of ways to authenticate you to an SSH server. This may be because PuTTY has TIS or keyboard-interactive authentication disabled [00:37] Okay, so you have a password and it's properly configured. [00:38] i think i just need to turn on password authentication for my server, how do I do that? i see in my sshd_config file RSA authentication is on [00:38] So it's probably a PuTTY thing. [00:38] in my sshd_config file i have RSAAuthentication yes and PubkeyAuthentication yes [00:39] how do i enable password authentication? [00:39] lmao IConrad01 I am on tard mode, I have selected the package but wheres the install button [00:39] RickyWh: it's another line in that file, and afterwards restart ssh [00:39] oh ya, ok sweet [00:39] monoxide: That's not the package. It adds it to your repositories list. [00:39] How does one go about right clicking the desktop if you have a window open on fluxbox? [00:40] You then have to run the update manager to check for new updates and install them. [00:40] ahh ok :) [00:40] ty [00:40] That's why it's called the "source center" and not the "application center". [00:40] I'm really fond of Ubuntu-Tweak. Has a whole slew of common Repos in there. [00:40] it seems to me the majority of bugs in ubuntu, and perhaps thus in launchpad, could only be solved by software engineers. is there any truth to this? [00:40] Swiftfox, TOR, VirtualBox, etc.. [00:41] yea I noticed alot of apps I search for using 9.04 had to manually install from each ppa [00:41] this kinda all togather less google [00:41] :) [00:41] Yup. [00:41] You can also use U-T for all updates. [00:41] How does one go about right clicking the desktop if you have a window open on fluxbox? [00:41] It also has a cache cleaning utility that's fairly damned robust. [00:41] Adem: fluxbox uses the right click to open the fluxbox menu dude, why do you want to right click the desktop? [00:41] peturi, IConrad01, sweet it works, thanks so much guys :) [00:42] you dont know much about wine-doors by chance do you? [00:42] u can right click anywhere actionParsnip ? [00:42] * monoxide use to love fluxbuntu [00:42] IConrad01: did you also discover the repo generator ? [00:42] RickyWh: no prob [00:42] DasEi: repo generator? [00:42] Adem: from what i remember on the desktop, yes. on files the usual file menu will appear [00:42] What is this black magic you speak of? [00:43] I mean, even if you right click inside a browser or something even all the same options will appear actionParsnip ? [00:43] IConrad01: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [00:43] Searched the web but did not find a clear & straight answer. Downloaded Ubuntu and burned to cd. Launched the installer and instructed script to install 10.04 and completely clean and reformat hard drive on install (ext4). Afterwards when rebooting system stops on root\system32\hal.dll error and will not boot up ubuntu. Do not understand why I need this file if I'm only installing Ubuntu... [00:43] ...10.04 and do not want Windows anywhere on the system? Any and all help appreciated... [00:44] Adem: i believe it will respect browsers etc. Are you not getting the expected menu for apps? [00:44] *blink* [00:44] crouchingsamurai: that looks like it installed a WUBI setup [00:44] I am running xfce atm actionParsnip, might be interested in fluxbox, just checking out comparisons etc [00:44] IConrad01: it lets you set repos for lots of ubuntu distros and also creates a scriptable collection of cmd's to get the pgp-keys, real handy [00:44] * monoxide looks at repo gen, I see deluge :) [00:45] Hrm. [00:45] crouchingsamurai: are you using wubi install? [00:45] I think that one isn't working at the moment [00:45] A lot of those are in Ubuntu-Tweak, too. [00:45] He was supposed (or his install was) installed to cleaned-off drive. [00:45] Deluge isn't... [00:45] ye it did seem to end pretty quick [00:46] Adem: flux is very light and fast, lxde is a little more user friendly and fast too [00:46] keept scrolling for treasure [00:46] I need help with the package moc. running files on local is just fine, but playing files from remote that are mounted with sshfs opens VERY slowly, but when opened its all fine. (mplayer or cmus etc has no problems) what can it be? [00:46] * monoxide hits wall [00:46] monoxide: what's your issue ? [00:47] crouchingsamurai: run the livecd and install from there, don't use "wubi" [00:47] Adem: flux is very customisable too and has fantastic shortcut key support :) [00:47] nothing, is there something wrong? [00:47] actionParsnip: where can I read the abilities of fluxbox [00:47] Nice. [00:47] The weird thing is that their lists don't sync. === ring1 is now known as ring0 [00:47] * monoxide is all over the place [00:47] Adem: could ask in #fluxbox [00:47] crouchingsamurai: you want just an ubuntu-install where there was a win on before on that hd ? [00:47] hey you guys ...i do "sudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config.txt" but it opens an empty file ,...but when i do "sudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config" it works?...and that file is a text file btw so why doesnt my first try work? [00:47] Adem: http://fluxbox.org/ [00:48] cannonfodder: use gksudo with gedit dude, not sudo [00:48] cannonfodder: That's because there's no ".txt" at the end of the file. [00:48] wats gksudo? [00:48] gtk front end for sudo [00:48] cannonfodder: different names lead to different files, this is linux, not win [00:48] gksudo is just a graphical front-end for sudo. [00:48] Linux *NEVER* hides file extensions from you, in CLI. [00:48] cannonfodder: its the right way to run gui based apps with elevated access. sudo is ONLY for terminal based commands like apt-get, cp, mv etc [00:49] IConrad01: its a bit more than a graphical frontend [00:49] then why am i able to save if i sudo it but not if i just gedit it [00:49] IConrad01: I don't even know if it hides them from you in GUI mode either, does it? Konqueror/Nautilus/Dolphin don't seem to. [00:49] Viking667: Normally, no it doesn't. But it *can*. [00:49] How do you disable the touchpad? [00:49] *.desktop files are a good example. [00:50] cannonfodder: if you just run gedit it runs as a user (you) which doesn't have write access to the file. using gksudo gives you write access as the process runs as root [00:50] heh. I kind of turn that off (hiding extensions) in windows, why would I want it back on in Linux for? [00:50] actionParsnip: If the question is "What's gksudo" -- then that's a good explanation. :) [00:50] thanks [00:50] my only problem with *.desktop is where the heck to put them once I've made them. [00:51] ... on your desktop? [00:51] <_< [00:51] cannonfodder: only superuser-privilegs can alter systemfiles, it's about write permissions [00:51] !samba [00:51] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [00:51] !linux-share [00:51] cannonfodder: each file on linux-sys has it's own permissions [00:51] Then there are the programs I install, but they don't show up on the Ubuntu menu. Take linpsk or qsstv. Neither of those show up, and I have to run them from commandline even though they're both GUI programs [00:51] is there a good website to learn about all this user privelage stuff? [00:51] For more fun -- if for some reason SAMBA isn't working and you want at a Windows box... [00:51] You can use SSHFS to mount remote directories... [00:51] so long as both parties are running ssh. [00:52] he he he... [00:52] cannonfodder, are you new to linux [00:52] ya [00:52] cannonfodder: Just use "man sudo" [00:52] thanks [00:52] But which ssh? The one from SUA/SFU? [00:52] and "info sudo" [00:52] anyone have any idea about how to share files between a pc and a web book? webbook running 9.04 desktop running 10.04 [00:52] cannonfodder: sure there are, first look at man chmod, and don't change this, it's part of system-integrity [00:52] !permissions [00:52] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:52] Viking667: As long as they can talk to each other. [00:52] I don't think it matters. [00:53] chmod -- remember: rwx, 421. [00:53] DarkNemesis, ssh? [00:53] Just learned that today. :-/ [00:53] sftp [00:53] And I got my RHCT today. [00:53] ... though I suspect that the sshd in SUA doesn't get upgraded anywhere as often as it needs to. [00:53] (at least, not the one I can install on Windows XP Pro) [00:53] cannonfodder: you know you can have a brief manual of command by prefixing it with man in terminal ? [00:53] yes [00:53] i.e. "man some-command" [00:54] Viking667: As I said -- I don't *think* it matters what ssh server you're working with. [00:54] Only works for some programs [00:54] cannonfodder: man chmod, man chown [00:54] I'm running lucid and i got thi sfont called inconsolata and i want to install. how do i go about doing that? [00:54] cannonfodder: You can also often-times get more in-depth manuals with other options. [00:54] A way to find out how to do this is to run: [00:54] if it's a KDE program, doesn't work. If it's a Gnome program, it doesn't always work. [00:54] find /usr/share | grep NameOfCommand [00:54] I need help with the package moc. running files on local is just fine, but playing files from remote that are mounted with sshfs opens VERY slowly, but when opened its all fine. (mplayer or cmus etc has no problems) what can it be? [00:54] Viking667, part of the Debian directives on deb packages is that all programs must include a man page [00:54] Any #'s you see... [00:54] You can run man # NameOfCommand [00:54] ... as both Gnome and KDE seemto store their help files in different formats and ways. [00:54] btw, canonical is always violating this rules [00:54] And that'll give you alternate pages. [00:55] monoxide, on a LAN no, i want to be able to share files like a samba share i'm listening to music on my eee that is actually on my desktop and no files shifted [00:55] How do you disable the touchpad? [00:55] You can also run info NameOfCommand to get other info [00:55] so.. it works for all programs, but not the ubuntu-only ones [00:55] Clayg: Disable altogether or only partially. [00:55] ? [00:55] Nitsuga: ha ... and a lot of the gnome ones end up being "We included this because the distributor didn't" [00:55] !skype [00:55] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [00:55] IConrad01, all together [00:55] Viking667, yep. [00:55] clayg: touchpad controls are in system - > preferences - > mouse [00:55] IIRC. [00:55] Lemme check. [00:55] if you want a package in debian, make a man page [00:55] oh touchpads, how can I calibrate my touchscreen on my laptop?! [00:56] I only know how to do it in windows with there driver [00:56] That only gives while typing, apparently. [00:56] I'm running lucid and i got thi sfont called inconsolata and i want to install. how do i go about doing that? [00:56] !touchpad | clayg [00:56] clayg: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [00:56] I guess you could go the route of using modprobe -r NameOfDriver [00:57] IConrad01: gksudo is the correct way to run graphical apps in linux. The kde equivelant is kdesu. Sudo is not to be used as it does not setuip the environment correctly and it can ruin file ownerships in the home directory causing apps to not run and logons to fail. sudo is ONLY to be used for command line apps like apt-get, cp, mv, ln etc and kdesu/gksudo is to be used for nautilus, gedit and whatnot. You can technically use [00:57] hi guys [00:57] IConrad01: (if something else hasn't decided it's going to use it) [00:57] im running ubuntu and i installed virtualpc from the repository [00:57] IConrad01: "the environment" being the x server environment [00:57] i know its not ubuntu but does anyone know how to get usb devices to work [00:57] hi, i have list of makefiles, i have to change gcc to arm-linux-gcc in each of them how to patch them? [00:57] IdleOne, thanks [00:57] * Viking667 tends to use "su -" then run commands from a root shell. [00:57] like usb harddrives. it just wont recognise them, the host os takes them [00:58] Viking667: sudo su - is my friend too. [00:58] Wait. Idiocracy format: [00:58] that was the _first_ thing I did on my Ubuntu [00:58] "Woah. You like sudo su - too? We should totally hang out." [00:58] apt-get moo [00:58] the second thing was: # passwd [00:58] monoxide: no no no no... [00:58] IConrad01: I use: sudo -i as is advised [00:58] lol [00:58] apt-get install ..... [00:59] aretrfre34, if the compiler isdefined by $CC youd just need to export CC=arm-linux-gcc [00:59] even if the compiler is defined by (say) $GCC, the same thing applies [00:59] hey guys [00:59] actionParsnip: Some people don't like to use the officially recommended ways if they're more comfortable doing it differently. [00:59] how do i unzip a .rar file in kubuntu? [00:59] brb for reboot [00:59] ark doesn't seem to pull it off =/ [00:59] IConrad01: they are recommended for a reason [00:59] chowlala: you don't. You unrar it. [00:59] oh, how? [00:59] and you need unrar [01:00] chowlala: sudo apt-get install rar unrar; rar x file [01:00] Yes, that was what the recommender thought was the best solution. [01:00] i already sudo apt-get rar unrar [01:00] Doesn't make it the *only* solution. [01:00] chowlala: perhaps ark doesn't know how to examine rar files. [01:00] so to unrar it = rar (file path)? [01:00] !ot | IConrad01 [01:00] IConrad01: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:00] colk, no there is CC = gcc and CXX = g++ in each file [01:00] no ... rar x filepath [01:00] unrarfree [01:00] then just change it [01:00] there [01:00] !unrar | chowlala [01:00] chowlala: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [01:01] colk: there are a lot of places to change it in, obviously there's multiple Makefiles [01:01] sudo su - for me is a better habit because then I can also run sudo su -c " " to execute multiple commands simultaneously. [01:01] sudo apt-get unrar free [01:01] chowlala: rar x file or you can use fileroller / ark [01:01] IConrad01: sudo -i [01:01] ^oops install [01:01] For example: sudo su -c "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y --force-yes" [01:01] sudo -i requires you to drop to a new terminal for that. [01:02] Nuisancesome when you want one line. [01:02] after installing 10.04 i surprisingly got a floppy entry in places, although i don't have one. how can i remove this entry? simply deleting the respective entry in /etc/fstab and /media/floppy? [01:02] actionParsnip: I think his problem was that ark wasn't working with rar files even when he'd installed rar [01:02] !find rar [01:02] Found: librarian-dev, librarian0, rarian-compat, guile-library, hol88-library (and 22 others) [01:02] !rar [01:02] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [01:02] there we go [01:02] IConrad01: sudo -i is for a root-shell, why need sudo su -... for apt-get?? [01:02] IConrad01: please stop pontificating. We appreciate you helping but when giving advice please use the Ubuntu way. (I know it is not the only way) [01:02] Viking667, were those make files created by configure? [01:02] IConrad01: sudo apt-get is doing the job [01:02] dunno .ask the other guy. [01:02] iceroot: Because that way you execute a single-line command and get both the cache update and the actual upgrade simultaneously. [01:02] aretrfre34: ? [01:02] Without opening a full root shell. [01:03] And without having to type out "sudo" for *each and every command passed" [01:03] sudo -su [01:03] IConrad01: ah ok, only typing sudo one time is a good argument [01:03] than exit when done [01:03] Precisely. [01:04] having run Linux since 1996 and having used Unix on a somewhat patchy basis since 1991, I have oooooold habits. [01:04] greetings all [01:04] Viking667: :) [01:05] how does one check which modules use what devices, (or visa-versa) [01:05] I found out about Unix in late 1990, took a class in either 91 or 92, went from there. [01:05] AmritP: sourcecode. [01:05] that's the canonical definition [01:06] Viking667: well i'm talking about loaded modules :o [01:06] lspci ? [01:06] is that what you're talking about? [01:06] or modprobe ? [01:06] what is a good gps/map application for ubuntu? [01:07] Petskull: but lspci doesn't show the module loaded for that device [01:07] AmritP: lspci -k [01:07] :p thats what i need [01:07] try modprobe [01:07] ah [01:07] oh [01:07] nevermind [01:07] brilliant IConrad01 thanks [01:07] :) [01:07] is there a repository with nightly builds of google chrome? [01:07] prefrontal: Yes. [01:07] http://pastebin.com/f5irrTBt < what do i type in console to set this card's latency to 1? [01:07] You can pull it via Ubuntu-Tweak if you want to do it fully graphically. [01:08] and also enable shared mem [01:08] Well, it's Chromium. [01:08] But same diff. [01:08] IConrad01, can I get the native pdf viewer I read about? [01:08] Not via Ubuntu-Tweak. [01:09] If it's a Chrome feature, then... yes. [01:09] i've got some hacky package embeds okular/acroread etc in firefox when you open a pdf, but it really messes up okuklar [01:09] Chromium is simply Chrome minus the specific google-proprietary ad-revenue code. [01:09] (And logos) [01:09] hmm but i have chromium installed from google and it says version 5 [01:09] i seem to remember hearing that you need version 7 to get this pdf viewer [01:10] anyone know a magnifying app for xp [01:10] Chromium-daily is on v.6 [01:10] that's similar to the ubuntu one where you just click windows-key + scroll wheel [01:10] xp [01:10] !windows | WXZ [01:10] WXZ: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [01:10] awesome conrad i been looking for tweakd's replacement it was alot like this ubuntu-tweak [01:10] I know Jordan_U, but they don't know what I'm talking about [01:10] ok, thanks for the advice [01:10] hold left ctrl and scroll [01:10] WXZ: That doesn't make #ubuntu the right channel. [01:10] I figured you guys would have a better understanding of what I mean by "the magnifier in ubuntu" [01:11] choooooice. [01:11] I think I need #windows-apps-similar-to-ubuntu-ones [01:11] lol [01:12] WXZ: google windows xp turn on magnifier [01:12] dude we told you 3 wys to zoom in [01:12] their magnifier sucks mark [01:12] yes DasEi. Just installing ubuntu. Wipe out all windows xp stuff. [01:12] and I obviously know about ctrl + wheel [01:12] doesn't work for notepad [01:12] ahh [01:12] pure_hate, - oh your all over lol [01:12] then that's a windows issue [01:12] WXZ: Please take the windows talk to ##windows [01:12] there are other zoomer apps... [01:12] ok, ok.. fine [01:12] crouchingsamurai: easist way would be boot live cd, install gparted, have a new partiton-able, then install [01:13] table* [01:13] hm. So nobody can help me to figure out why Skype, Fire fox and some other program die on me on startup? [01:13] Not sure what you mean by WUBI install. I downloaded the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 iso and burned to CD. [01:13] colk: if i export them configure fails with cannot run C tests error [01:13] but since it's not "needed" most are poorly written or come with backdoors so be careful [01:13] crouchingsamurai: it may have installed into your Windows install if you have one, rather than erasing the drive. [01:13] crouchingsamurai: reboot the pc with the cd [01:13] Viking667: could be a ram hardware issue [01:13] Viking667: your system is updated/graded ? checked your syslog for errors ? [01:14] hmmm. [01:14] I'll do that. Give me mo [01:14] hi. newbie. installed apache2, mysql5 and php5 without a problem. installed phpmyadmin from the universe. it installed in /user/share instead of /var/www. i tried issuing the command sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www, but it says the operation is not permitted [01:14] crouchingsamurai: are you running the installer inside windows? [01:14] Now rebooting computer with cd [01:14] Viking667: Might also want to test your memory. [01:14] Not running installer inside windows === Spyder|zzz is now known as SpyderBite [01:15] crouchingsamurai: right, reboot into live, come back in [01:15] that error you said only happes if you use wubi which is the installer in windows... [01:15] happens** [01:15] hmmm. That's strange..... [ 3267.895808] usb 3-1: usb_submit_urb() failed, error -28 [01:15] Okay. Will be a few minutes [01:15] ... each time I try running Skype. [01:15] yep [01:16] (except the time changes, of course) [01:16] usr/share , not user/share...typo [01:16] pcilatency: latency is not adjustable, and is a function of the hardware. [01:16] dang, the chromium native pdf viewer only works on mac and linux so far [01:16] Things are getting curiouser and curiouser [01:16] figures..decades later and i still can't view pdfs in my browser on linux [01:17] *mac and windows [01:17] prefrontal: huh? evince doesn't work? [01:17] oh, in browser. [01:17] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [01:17] prefrontal: what architecture? [01:17] prefrontal: I loathe viewing pdfs in browser [01:17] i've got some ways to make it happen they just don't work very well [01:17] heh. [01:17] okay. Live cd version now up and running [01:17] i prefer pdfs in browser when it works well, like on mac. [01:17] prefrontal: for ff there are plugins that do [01:17] I download them and fire them up in evince... I use acroread if I _have_ to. [01:18] DasEi, yes and they dont work correctly [01:18] they mess up okular for example. page up/down stop working [01:18] how to patch Makefiles for macro [01:18] is anyone here familiar with programming notifications? I'm having an issue related to the old style application indicator popup bubbles showing up as dialogs. [01:18] I'm using pynotify [01:18] DasEi - Live CD is up and running did you want me to launch gpart? [01:18] prefrontal: I use a mac; I hate pdfs in browser :) [01:18] ooo goodie!!! [01:18] crouchingsamurai: open a terminal ... [01:19] * Viking667 watches a Windows go up in smoke. [01:19] done [01:19] prefrontal: If you really want its bloated goodness you can use Adobe's plugin. [01:19] crouchingsamurai: sudo apt-get install gparted [01:19] Jordan_U, acroread in-browser seems to have issues as well IIRC.. but are you using it? [01:19] Jordan_U: is he using a non-intel machine though? [01:19] amd64 [01:19] hm. Not quite then. [01:19] untu-tweak does not set latency timings =c [01:20] okay [01:20] crouchingsamurai: sudo gparted [01:20] I find once I open a pdf in a browser, that Alt-Left no longer works, so I _have_ to use the mouse to go back... [01:20] crouchingsamurai: more then one drive in that box ? [01:20] than* [01:20] Viking667, exactly, lots of things break because it's not supported natively by any of the browsers [01:20] yes [01:21] looks like within a month or so google chrome will fix that..hopefully [01:21] define "natively"? as in, 64-bit natively? [01:21] pcilatency: "man setpci" [01:21] sda1 2 and 5 and one area unallocated [01:21] sda1 is ext4 [01:21] * Viking667 blinks [01:22] 2 is extended and 5 is swap [01:22] crouchingsamurai: so there is only one harddrive in that box ? [01:22] natively as in, google is writing their own pdf reader fully integrated into the browser, or has licensed adobe-proprietary code [01:22] fubared [01:22] !who | crouchingsamurai [01:22] crouchingsamurai: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:22] crouchingsamurai: do you have a sdb or sdc? [01:22] It was a windows box and has three drives installed [01:22] ahhh. [01:22] c drive is 100 gig and the two others are 200 gigs [01:22] Then I'll step out of the way. [01:22] Your ball, DasEi [01:23] crouchingsamurai: in the upper right corner can change the drives, make sure you select the right one, as we will delete it, data loss !! [01:23] Will do !ubottu [01:23] ugh ive done that twice so far [01:23] * Viking667 would have done the old "Unplug all but install drive" trick [01:23] crouchingsamurai: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot, by the way [01:24] ... which only actually works if the install drive will be the boot drive too. [01:24] crouchingsamurai: which is the drive you want to erase for the ubuntu-install ? [01:25] DasEi - deleted sda1 - which was 120 gigs total before formatting. [01:26] Viking667: You just reminded me of how many times I destroyed my boot partition when setting up my multibooting USB drive. [01:26] :-/ [01:26] heh. I managed to break two operating systems in one when installing Plan9 recently. [01:26] DasEi: sda1 is the drive I want to use for the ubuntu install [01:27] crouchingsamurai: see, if there are 3 drives in there, they are called sda,sdb,sdc, the additional numbers are the partitions on that drives, and you said you wanted a whole, formerly windows drive for install [01:27] Not only did I hose the original Plan9 I was upgrading, but then I ended up hosing the OpenBSD install as well. [01:27] DasEi: Yes there is [01:27] crouchingsamurai: if you choosed the right drive, can tell gparted to create a new partition table [01:28] LiveCD + chroot /mnt/oldOS ; grub-install -- your friend. lol [01:28] The OpenBSD, I'd just upgraded that same day to the latest version, and hadn't upgraded any of the extra packages yet. [01:28] Still, that had a silver lining, in a way. It made me reinstall all my OpenBSD packages that I hadn't upgraded yet. [01:28] you need sda 1,2 5 for install [01:28] crouchingsamurai: it's under drive in gparted's menu > new table > msdos (defaults to it) [01:30] how do i do i find which nic is eth0? [01:30] crouchingsamurai: but be carefull to to delete the wrong hd [01:30] s/to to/not to/ [01:30] i just need to know its name, etc [01:30] resno: ifconfig [01:30] crouchingsamurai: also can open another tab in terminal and do : sudo fdisk -l to see your drives and partitions [01:30] IdleOne: no, im looking for the device name [01:30] hmmm [01:30] resno: ifconfig, combined with lspci [01:31] resno: hwinfo should show [01:31] oooo. good call. [01:31] Hardinfo, too [01:31] dmidecode? [01:31] Nice 'n gui/tui [01:31] Oy...that was a bit painful. For those that were on here last night, my hard drive is officially a paperweight. Took it out of commission last night [01:31] DasEi: Think I did it right. Applied changes and now I have an unallocated disk drive of 111 gigs awaiting [01:31] hi, guys. i want to back up my /home and my /etc files. is there a utility that will help me burn them onto multiple cds without me having to break them up myself? [01:31] Physically damaged goods, spotty? [01:32] Yeah. 6 months after its birth, my hard drive died [01:32] crouchingsamurai: sounds fine then, now can use install from desktop, having a fresh mbr and no grub detecting another os :: before you start, did you verify the cd ? [01:33] I was surprised. However, then I opened up my laptop to replace the drive....and I found out it was a Seagate. [01:33] spotty: ouch. [01:33] Just out of curiosity; what tools did you use to try to recover it? [01:33] Seagates are great, until they go bad. Then they go bad ... BAAAD. [01:33] Thats the 4th time Seagate products bend me over the proverbial desk of life and screw me. [01:34] ..., Seagate has bought other good brand makers [01:34] but I have to say that 6 months is a record for me. I have never had a hard drive last such a short time [01:34] DasEi: Yes. I use infrarecorder open source software and always do a check after burn [01:34] _{ [01:34] So now, I got a new hard drive and a fresh install of Lucid. Only problem is that 64 bit flash just ceased being supported. [01:34] crouchingsamurai: the cd itself has an option check media, can be chosen after bootup [01:34] No YouTube for me [01:34] spotty -- why not just use the 32-bit Flash? [01:35] www.youtube.com/html5 spotty [01:35] DasEi: So I'm good to go and can now reboot pc with cd installed and perform a new install of 10.04? [01:35] thanks DasEi IdleOne Viking667 [01:35] Is ia32 libs so horrible? [01:35] spotty: try "minitube" [01:35] awww crap. I can't go browse the Skype errors, because jira is down... [01:35] blach. [01:35] crouchingsamurai: I think so, and make sure grub installs to sda (will go in this mbr then, not touching your other drives) [01:35] I tried using it despite my system being a 32 bit and so far, I cant get it to work in the browsers at all [01:36] * Viking667 uses youtube-dl and then plays the flvs using mplayer. FAR faster than running in browser. [01:36] DasEi: Thanks a lot for your help. [01:36] does ubuntu use the same file system as the host if it's running in virtualbox? [01:36] np, be welcome [01:36] baalwww: it better NOT do. Thats' "not supported" [01:36] But its not just youtube. I never realized how many things I go to use flash in some way. [01:36] Viking667: I like video downloadhelper for it [01:36] DasEi: I neve found that to work when I tried it. [01:36] Viking667: what's better not do...running it in virtualbox? [01:37] I can try and download the flash from the website but it wont let me install since it is the wrong architecture [01:37] baalwww: VirtualBox creates .vmi files which it uses as "virtual machine images" [01:37] baalwww: err, you don't use the host's filesystem as the root filesystem of the virtualbox instance. [01:37] Kinda like having a .iso file on your system. [01:37] yup. [01:37] * Viking667 agrees. [01:37] Viking667: it does fine for me, and also can get direct d/l links for a d/l manager or wget/curl for it .. FAST [01:37] So IM not sure what else I can do. I have the synaptic versions of flash player but they arent the latest [01:37] Except in this case it's your virtual machine's hard-drive instead of a CD that's being kept as an image file. === help is now known as Guest62290 [01:38] Spotty: Do you have the 64-bit flash repo still? [01:38] Viking667: IConrad01: ok, well, I installed virtualbox on vista, and then ubuntu on virtualbox, which runs fine...except I can't do a sym link [01:38] No. I do not. Back in the old install (the bad hd) I had the 32 bit version of Lucid installed [01:38] So updating to the latest was no problem. [01:38] a symlink on ... what? [01:38] spotty: your box is 32 bit and your OS is 64 bit? [01:38] now I cant really do that because they discontinued 64-bit. Blargh...... [01:38] spotty: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, fine on my 64 here (installs a bunch of other needed codecs, too) [01:39] baalwww: symlink from VirtualBox to Vista? No, that wouldn't work. [01:39] how long is the time out for irc connection before I can logon with my username again? [01:39] links don't work across networks, only within a single "machine" [01:39] My username is still in use, but I am not connected with it at the moment === tony_ is now known as C0keNC0de [01:39] spotty: Lucid amd64 includes a link to the 32-bit flash-plugin. [01:39] Viking667: IConrad01: no, sym link within ubuntu. I installed phpmyadmin. it ended up in /usr/share and I need it sym linked to /var/www ... I get the message, despite sudo, that the action is not permitted [01:39] In it's non-free repository. [01:39] Guest51773: /msg nickserv help ghost [01:39] Guest62290: practically none, but might have a ghost, ask in #freenode about that [01:39] Ill see if that works. Thank you IConrad [01:40] baalwww: hm. Sounds like you have other errors. [01:40] guys, I'm getting hell getting my usb gamepad to work. What's up with jscalibrator being dropped, and what am i supposed to use now? [01:40] spotty: It *should* just be the normal flashplugin-installer entry... [01:40] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [01:40] Just make sure you don't have the 64-bit flashplugin repo overriding it. [01:40] Viking667: well, i was reading a lot of messages about sym links not working in a fat32 partition... and i could think of no reason why linux would be on a fat32 partition other than a situation like mine [01:40] baalwww: Have you installed guest additions? [01:40] what's the best window manager? [01:40] IConrad01: yes [01:41] What filesystem does your Ubuntu install have itself set to? [01:41] I dont think I ever dl'd the 64-bit repo [01:41] hello. After an update to Lucid, I no longer have write permission on auto-mounted USB disks. What happened, and where can I fix this [01:41] I jut know that out of the box, I cant get flash to work [01:41] And what's the host fs? [01:41] spotty: Try gnash, maybe. [01:41] There's another program that's like gnash but has actionscript3 support. [01:41] (And not actionscript2...) [01:41] I forget its name. [01:42] Adem: best will always become a poll, next to compiz abilities, fitting g-card is needed therefor, terminator can do some tricks [01:42] sfwdec? [01:42] Can't recall at all. [01:42] IConrad01: how would I tell which file system ubuntu is using? [01:42] whats the best gps+map application for ubuntu? [01:42] IConrad01: don't mix gnash with adobe, that's reported to cause trouble [01:43] baalwww: seems strang. [01:43] e [01:43] baalwww: execute: fdisk -l /dev/sda [01:43] Have you got the virtual machine up at the moment? [01:43] DasEi: Yes. We were talking replacement. :) [01:43] Viking667: yup [01:43] hrumpgh [01:43] baalwww: It is *all* symlinks, or only symlinks to /var/www ? [01:44] try these then: sudo ln -s /etc/fstab var/www/fstab [01:44] I have installed fluxbox, how can i changed between what window manager I want to use? [01:44] If you're the root user already, remove the sudo [01:44] Adem: only fluxbox or another wm? [01:44] If that does'nt work, check mounts [01:44] Viking667: not permitted [01:44] Brunellus, hmm check fstab , delete the USB one if you see it [01:45] baalwww: right. What does "mount" show? [01:45] I am running xfce by default Mark [01:45] Adem: just "log out" and in gdm window select xfce [01:45] man, linux really pisses me off sometimes. How the heck is anyone supposed to use joysticks when jscalibrator won't work [01:45] aaaactually, try this too: sudo touch /var/www/hello [01:45] ok ty mark brb [01:45] wildbat, there is no USB line [01:45] Adem: yw [01:45] I've commented-out the /proc/bus/usb usbfs line [01:45] im having a problem, when i enable my virtual machine on bridged, it doesnt get an ip address from my router [01:46] that had prevented booting *at all* [01:46] C0keNC0de: heh. I know what you mean. I have an old 12" square tablet here that stopped being supported two years ago. [01:46] Viking667: ext4 [01:46] resno: Can you set it statically? [01:46] IConrad01: on the router or the machine? [01:46] baalwww: right. WHat shows for /var (if anything) [01:46] sup guys [01:46] resno: The machine. [01:46] IConrad01: i can, the machine is centos though :( [01:46] hello ladies. i get a lot of these: : [01:46] ./Maildir: No such file or directory [01:46] I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long. [01:46] what can i do? [01:46] Steven___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:47] resno: No problem. [01:47] wildbat: so the USB drives automount, but I need to be root to write to them. [01:47] Gimme a sec and I'll give you a pastebin of a CentOS config for static IP. [01:47] IConrad01: thanks :) [01:47] whats the best gps+map application for ubuntu? [01:47] I don't think there are any stable ones... [01:47] Viking667: it's got /var/run and /var/lock, both none on tmpfs [01:47] Brunellus, pastebin your fstab, and mount -l [01:48] this is a stupid question but there any way to map wifi points without gps? [01:48] kinda on estimates of db [01:48] Well, I get video but no audio [01:48] spotty check pulseaudio options [01:48] * monoxide loves pulse audio [01:48] if you have more than 1 soundcard [01:48] baalwww: try this: sudo touch /var/www/hello [01:48] pulseaduio fucking sucks [01:48] For some reason, although I have pulseaudio installed..... I cant get ahold of the console [01:49] wildbat, my fstab: http://pastebin.com/KMx4tJEB [01:49] if i try to install an application and it tells me i need a dependency (in my case libgps17), once I download the dependency, where do i put it so I can try to attempt to install the application again ? [01:49] frankS2: watch your language. [01:49] and just to be sure, I still can play audio (mp3s) [01:49] don't need a console [01:49] frankS2, you have somthing better? [01:49] resno: why [01:49] share [01:49] !language | frankS2 [01:49] frankS2: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:49] monoxide: yes, w/e was before pulseaudio [01:49] worked perfectly [01:49] lol [01:49] press alt+f2 type padevchooser and run [01:49] Viking667: it accepted the command, but no output from it [01:49] i see no reason why they implemented a buggy pulseaudio [01:49] wildbat, mount -l : http://pastebin.com/j4UpCAzB [01:49] resno: http://pastebin.com/xMcTtduE [01:50] You'll have to modify that to match your unique circumstances, obviously. [01:50] maybe you dont know how to use pulse I have no problems ever not even with wine [01:50] And here's where that file goes: [01:50] or any app [01:50] /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 [01:50] IConrad01: thanks :), are you a centos person? [01:50] monoxide: there should be no reason to "know" how to use something as simple as a sound daemon [01:50] Viking667: I have a directory from Vista mounted to /var/www ... would that matter? [01:50] it shold work in the background [01:50] Mark-I: Nope. Nothing happens. [01:51] I just got my RHCT today, actually. [01:51] frankS2: It's not so much pulseaudio that's buggy most of the time but rather the alsa drivers [01:51] Maybe there is something missing [01:51] when then you have fun fighting with recording from loopbacks the hardway [01:51] But I've been an Ubuntu user since 7.04. [01:51] IConrad01: should i configure the machine manger to give it an ip or what? [01:51] frankS2: Pulse just happens to use features of alsa that weren't well excercised before. [01:51] Brunellus, hmm i dont see which one is your usb sdf? sdg? [01:51] I *think* all you need to do is refresh your routing table on the router. [01:51] spotty: what version are you using? [01:52] Can anybody recommend a good bitorrent client for ubuntu? [01:52] IConrad01: ok, ill play with this a bit. i also noticed that my eth0 card is down when i do ifconfig [01:52] deluge [01:52] monoxide, deluge is currently not working fo rme [01:52] resno: what happens when you execute service network restart ? [01:52] wildbat: usb drives are at sde2, sde1, sdf1, sdf2, sdf3 [01:52] did you try to reinstall the package? [01:53] hum, have you tried to reinstall the package [01:53] whats the best gps+map application for ubuntu? [01:53] wildbat and sdg1 [01:53] Hmm... 1:0.9.22~0.9.21 1:0.9.22~0.9.2 [01:53] IConrad01: one sec, let me start it again [01:54] monoxide, I keep getting disk write errors, plus for some reason I keep getting deluge 0.5 instead of a more current one [01:54] let me see if I can locate a updated deb for you [01:54] update manager says that it cant update because the public key for lucid updates is not available. does anone knoe ehat this means? [01:54] does anyone know how to unsatanize the notification system in ubuntu to use the gnome default? [01:54] Hobz: apt-get purge it. [01:54] im trying to use viking gps application, when i try to tell it where to aquire the data from , how do i know where it's located? This is a usb dongle for bluetooth with a bluetooth gps but there is no bluetooth option [01:54] Then install it again. [01:55] IConrad01, I'ma try a .deb of 1.1.6 first [01:55] or should I purge it first? [01:55] Hmm...what is missing? [01:55] BrendenB, wow ~ all the usb got problems? [01:55] Hobz: purge first. [01:55] purging [01:55] Does anyone here use compiz and gnome-mplayer and NOT get tearing on HD video? is there no way to have these 3 things? T_T [01:55] I remember having a Pulse Audio icon in my system tray that I could access and fix things when I needed to [01:55] so long, deluge [01:55] but yeah, I cant seem to access them [01:55] woah [01:55] spotty: yes that's "padevchooser" [01:56] apt-get couldn't find package deluge [01:56] or paman [01:56] Hobz: Use dpkg, not apt-get. [01:56] ARRRGH. wildbat: I just tried adding myself to the 'disk' group and nothing [01:56] Okay...that would be odd [01:56] what version of ubuntu you using Hobz [01:56] an older one [01:56] padevchooser was not installed. [01:56] ibex, I think [01:56] ennui i had a simalar problem because I didn't have the video card driver installed [01:56] Hobz: There's a PPA for deluge. Tried installing that way? [01:57] Viking667: IConrad01: that was it. I unmounted the vista directory, restarted ubuntu, and the symlink worked [01:57] whats the best gps+map application for ubuntu? [01:57] tomlikeslinux: I'm on a macbookpro, but I have the suggested NVIDIA driver installed :/ [01:57] install it press alt+f2 padevchooser [01:57] ennui, if you are using nvidia turn on "sync to vblanc" should remove tearing in video (might make games unplayable though) [01:57] IConrad01, not yet, I dropped off the face of the earth for about 18 months [01:57] baalwww: Try remounting the directory and see what happens. [01:57] Hobz: ?? [01:58] Would I need to restart my computer to get padevchooser to show up? [01:58] Brunellus, well you can manually mount them with correct option thou [01:58] IConrad01, I haven't kept current [01:58] spotty: right click the icon/preferences/startup [01:58] had other things going on [01:58] hmm just your desktop if it doesn appears [01:58] ennui I can't help you any more than to say that I didn't have the driver installed and if I had compiz and video i had issues [01:58] !ppa [01:58] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[02:01] resno: Then you configured your machine to NAT, not Bridged, network. [02:01] Adem: fluxbox is only a window manager. to manage files, you'd need to run a separate filemanager--e.g. nautilus, midnight commander, etc [02:01] found it [02:01] Adem: You need to start a file manager for that, fluxbox is just a window manager [02:01] Adem, fluxbox doesn't really come with a default file manager - launch nautilus or an alt file manager like rox [02:01] What VM software are you using? [02:01] Maybe nobody heard me. How do i change the resolution of the console when i press ctrl+alt+f1? [02:01] Adem: Right click on the "desktop" to get an application menu. [02:01] Okay....Im going to restart my computer and see if anything sticks [02:01] IConrad01: virtualbox, but its on a server.

[02:05] alright well brb testing fluxbox [02:05] linux OS's always manage to do the 1 step foward, 2 steps backward approach [02:05] or look at xfce [02:06] Alright. Well thats interesting. Opera gives me music but no sound [02:06] and Flock gives me "you need to upgrade" [02:06] aliasxerog, yes - should be "xterm as a login session is for recovery/emergencies" ;) [02:06] IConrad01, I'm not getting the syntax right in synaptic, it doesn't like ppa:deluge-team/ppa [02:06] okk ill try lxde also, im just going to experiment with window managers and see what i like, all i have used so far is xfce [02:06] i know. i use that every day [02:06] Hobz: [02:07] adem: try out windowmaker === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` [02:07] Brunellus, only explaination is it is automount by root not your current user. i don't see any uid option in your mount -l ~, that is strange [02:07] Adem: Do you understand the difference between a window manager and a desktop environment?

[02:13] Hobz, if you are still having problems try adding the repository like "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa" the "sudo apt-get update" and see if you have updated packages after that. [02:13] A desktop environment typically consists of icons, windows, toolbars, folders, wallpapers,shortcuts and desktop widgets. [02:13] resno: Didn't know that. Ahh, well.

[02:13] I use transmission [02:13] wildbat, please sent a quick answer: I have to go in a second. [02:13] ZykoticK9: Hobz already got the repo added to his apt file. [02:13] monoxide_: I did on my previous distro but it just stopped working for some reason, i use deluge now [02:14] I like gnome-mplayer but... so much tearing [02:14] Brunellus, that is for server usb automount ~ that may be your problem [02:14] ennui: try vlc [02:14] Brunellus, remove that [02:14] yea, transmission gives me slow slow slow peer/seed speeds vs deluge so I asked [02:14] wildbat got it. [02:14] ZykoticK9, no in dolphyn [02:14] do you all experance the same issues? [02:14] IConrad01, that add command installs both the repo and the key and checks everything, very handy [02:14] ennui - i use a rythmbox or a curses bases player :D [02:14] to be honest explaining a desktop environment to someone is really complicated [02:14] dammit [02:14] Anybody know how I can enable alt+ codes? [02:14] ZykoticK9: Never used it, actually. [02:14] I want to install italc-1.0.9.tar.bz2 after modifying its .c source code in a few files. Any guidance please [02:14] I think I just need to update my system [02:14] fail Hobz [02:14] ? [02:14] ya [02:14] ZykoticK9, i mean globaly doesnot work [02:15] gigasoft, i don't even know what dophyn is (i'm guessing kde) [02:15] adem -- are you talking about like the numpad symbols [02:15] yeah [02:15] Hobz: execute: " sudo su -c 'apt-get update && apt-get install deluge*' " [02:15] "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process" [02:15] ZykoticK9, yes [02:15] Exit Synaptic. [02:15] Im not sure actually, i though that was a windows thing... [02:15] they don't work for me, maybe its the language I picked or something [02:15] gigasoft, sorry man i haven't used kde in YEARS [02:15] oh, my beautiful MKV files.. sob.. sob... [02:15] IConrad01, when I apt-get update I get lots of failed downloads [02:15] that might be it [02:15] you have another package manager going [02:15] adem: i think thats just a windows thing [02:15] one at a time [02:16] ZykoticK9, thanks anyway [02:16] close synaptic etc [02:16] oh, dammit :( [02:16] Hobz: That's not bad, actually. It's language support files. [02:16] but mac has them too :o? [02:16] That happens. [02:16] woops, forgot to close synaptic [02:16] adem: they do? [02:16] ok, it's moving ahead now [02:16] yeah [02:16] Linux has all the symbols - just not access to them from numpad [02:16] woops, dependency problems [02:16] dammit :( [02:16] need some help getting my display back working after i removed my nvidia graphics card [02:17] I need deluge-common [02:17] ugh. OK. yes that worked wildbat [02:17] kk brb checking my other wm [02:17] Ricasol: Execute, as root: "Xorg -configure" [02:17] Brunellus, ^^ [02:17] hm. Weird. How do I turn on the "partner" repo? I don't see it in "Software Sources" unless I'm not looking hard enough or something. [02:17] backltrack: how do you think you access them? [02:17] Adem -- well you can just start learning elementary java. It accesses unicode with ease [02:18] Viking667: It's in "other software" [02:18] adem: or c++, unicode isn't too hard on that [02:18] hm. Back that off, I just found an older one commented out in sources.list [02:18] Good evening everyone. I am trying to install ndiswrapper. I do not have an internet connection on my Ubuntu-run computer but I do have a laptop with an internet connection. I also have my Ubuntu CD-Rom. However, when I try to load my CD-Rom into my Synaptic-Package Manager, it says it can not detect it and to load another one. Any thoughts? [02:18] Hmmm if i need unicode symbols -- which i haven't yet . THere are unicode symbols online you can copy/paste . and im sure there are programs that display a large amount or all of the unicode chars. [02:18] But I'll check out "Other software" just in case. [02:18] I did that conrad [02:18] wildbat, thank you, problem solved. [02:18] and it didn't work [02:18] can u pm me or something [02:18] Ricasol: What error did you get? [02:19] Brunellus, you're welcome [02:19] hi there, i'm getting a lot of mail daemons from drweb. what can i do? [02:19] one program is called Character Map.. I think it's default in Ubuntu [02:19] have any of you guys used gnome shell at all? [02:19] Good evening everyone. I am trying to install ndiswrapper. I do not have an internet connection on my Ubuntu-run computer but I do have a laptop with an internet connection. I also have my Ubuntu CD-Rom. However, when I try to load my CD-Rom into my Synaptic-Package Manager, it says it can not detect it and to load another one. Any thoughts? [02:20] ShayneFalco: What wireless card? [02:20] oh, ffs [02:20] k, debs are tedious [02:20] Weird... with my new SSD, a cold boot won't work... [02:20] Airlink 101. [02:21] airlink 101? [02:21] ... weird. That shows me the same thing, but not for Lucid, only for Jaunty and Hardy. [02:21] hi, is there anyone who knows how to use SCIM for writing in chinese (ubuntu 10.04)? [02:21] Airlink101 - 6070 [02:21] http://pastebin.com/Gytvwv6i [02:21] Hi, I cannot reinstall upstart sysv-rc insserv [02:21] there's serial console log of my boot. [02:22] marcuy: I think iBus is prefered now, but I don't have any experience with either. [02:22] Gnome shell -- no i havent . but i don't think i will either . [02:22] At that point, it hangs, doing absolutely nothing. [02:22] Which was the first linux distro to have a GUI? [02:22] darthvies, i'm gonna guess slackware :P [02:22] marcuy: Might ask in #ubuntu-cn [02:22] Does Ubuntu lucid's radeon driver have support for ATI RS482 [Xpress X200M] [02:22] tried aptititude -f install and still says dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. [02:22] Tought it would be. Thanks :D [02:22] Jordan_U, thanks for the tips [02:23] Any reason why Synaptic Package Manager would not detect the CD-ROM? [02:23] marcuy: You're welcome. [02:23] DanaG: thats really weird [02:23] how do i go about reinstalling X? [02:23] Hello. I just restarted my X server at the instruction of some software. Now, when boot up Ubuntu and I log in, I cannot see any toolbars, only a desktop background. If I restart X again (using Ctrl + Alt + Backspace), I can log in again and it works! But each time I boot, I get the same problem. Also, all of my desktop icons disappeared! Does anyone know what's going on? [02:24] DanaG: what fs is your home partition [02:24] Venim: Just run X -configure from rescue mode. [02:24] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKpSrJjHmVs&fmt-22 [02:24] That's "X -configure" [02:24] ShayneFalco: Do you know the actual chipset? [02:24] Ok I was just testing things out and I went Right click> first option(forget name)>File manager>Desktop something [02:24] Well, those ones that failed are my OLD drive, under /media. [02:24] and now I dont have the right click optiton with the fluxbox list anymore [02:24] My new drive is an SSD. One partition on new drive for root; ext4. [02:24] oLD one was ext4 home and ext4 root. [02:25] IConrad01: segfault [02:25] ShayneFalco, your chipset is ralink RT2860 try this Forum post for help [02:25] Hey, is 10.04 called Lucid or Maverick? [02:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476007 [02:25] It's especially odd that it doesn't give me a recovery console. [02:25] Venim: Okay... try this: [02:25] Venim: /etc/init.d/networking start [02:25] DanaG: its not even getting that far in the boot [02:25] dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. [02:26] I mean, not even an initramfs console. [02:26] *sigh* [02:26] IConrad01: networking stop/waiting [02:26] Venim: apt-get install -d X [02:26] Viking667: Lucid Lynx [02:26] Venim: You get no further than that? [02:26] IConrad01: no [02:26] no luck Hobz [02:26] Every once in a while, it will boot successfully. [02:26] also, its xserver, not x [02:26] my bad [02:27] i think [02:27] Oh, and something keeps writing AT+GCAP to my serial console. [02:27] lo [02:27] It does it exactly 3 times at boot. [02:27] monoxide_, just tired, I'm pretty sure I need to redo this system [02:27] Then why does Lucid Lynx show up on archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists with a release date of 29-Oct-2009 ? [02:27] whats the SSL port for this ubuntu sever? [02:27] to connect to irc [02:27] IConrad01: when i upgraded to 10.04, shit go messed up [02:27] Venim: We'll try something different,t hen. [02:27] DanaG: Can you try passing a bogus root=device? Maybe then it will fail before the hang giving you an initramfs prompt where you can check /dev/disk/by-id and other things. [02:27] and so i went and tried reinstalling xserver [02:27] Venim: Reboot your machine. Get to the GRUB menu. [02:27] lan traffic is interfering with my vnstat database for monitoring my bandwidth, does anyone know of a per-process bandwidth monitor or one that allows for exclusions...maybe cacti? [02:28] brb [02:28] IConrad01: and? [02:28] anyone have any idea if the support for ZFS is the same in Ubuntu as OpeSolaris or is the package you get in Ubuntu just enough to create zppols basically? [02:28] Ah well. At least I added the right line in sources.list [02:28] When you're in the grub menu, enter "e" -- and then "e" again when you've navigated to the kernel-line. [02:28] zpools [02:28] Add a "3" to the end of the line you see. [02:28] Then hit "enter", and "b". [02:28] Viking667: i have no clue lol. i'm sure it's a simple answer, but i dunno honestly [02:28] I think it's a race condition. [02:28] which line is the kernel one? [02:28] Or something. [02:28] DanaG: or even try mounting your disks using their device name and not uuid [02:28] initrd? [02:28] This will boot you into runlevel 3, which is no-GUI w/ Networking. [02:29] Viking667: at least you did put the right line in there :D [02:29] It works, sometimes. It doesn't work, other times. [02:29] Venim: vmlinuz [02:29] so what should that line look like? [02:29] alt-sysrq-I gave me a root console. [02:29] atm its linux /vmlinuz....... root=UUID=....3\ [02:29] Venim: Doesn't matter. You're just adding a "3" to the end of it. [02:29] monoxide_: port 7000 and 7070 [02:29] How do I logout of fluxbox? exit in terminal isn't working its jut closing the terminal, and the right click list thing is back to the old one so I cant right click>exit [02:29] Nothing attached to it, just "3" [02:29] IConrad01: then boot? [02:29] 3 doesn't work in Ubuntu.

[02:30] I'm sorry, but did anyone see my post? [02:30] DanaG: rather depends on if he has a visible framebuffer... for example, I don't. [02:30] Okay, how do you get to runlevel 3 then? [02:30] aliasxerog: not working [02:30] Adem: right-click "logout" [02:30] BackITrack: I do. [02:30] hey, where'd you go? [02:30] IConrad01: Those instructions are out of date in two ways :) 1: with grub2 you press ctlr+x to execute the edited entry 2: upstart doesn't have a runlevel 3 :) [02:30] ah, looks like it's trying to find /dev/disk/by-uuid when udev has not yet created those symlinks! [02:30] Ha, good. [02:30] BacklTrack: I do. [02:31] Jordan_U: Well, now I know. [02:31] Venim: Just choose the "recovery mode" option [02:31] DanaG: ahhhhhhhh. [02:31] no option, "open new window", "create launcher etc", open terminal here, desktop settings and properties, no logout [02:31] phil_: go ahead and ask again. i haven't seen it forawhile and maybe a refresher would help [02:31] Viking667: Glad to hear [02:31] Jordan_U: that's how i get to my OS [02:31] w/o X starting [02:31] Hello. I just restarted my X server at the instruction of some software. Now, when boot up Ubuntu and I log in, I cannot see any toolbars, only a desktop background. If I restart X again (using Ctrl + Alt + Backspace), I can log in again and it works! But each time I boot, I get the same problem. Also, all of my desktop icons disappeared! Does anyone know what's going on? [02:31] Jordan_U: He was *in* recovery mode. We need networking so he can reinstall his xserver package. [02:31] but i nothing I do gets X to run [02:31] BacklTrack: it doesn't suck totally. [02:31] adem: you have a terminal up? [02:31] yep [02:31] type "pkill nautilus" [02:31] IConrad01: Venim: In the recovery mode menu there should be an option to start a root shell with networking. [02:31] ya [02:31] i'll try that [02:32] . [02:32] wait, i don't have eth networking [02:32] . [02:32] phil_: as a test. try making a new user - see if they have the same issue. I had a similer issue the other day.. but it fixed itself some how. Never did figure out why it was doing it. [02:32] Hi, newbie here with a Ubuntu HDMI question: wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to run a HDMI cable from a graphics card to an amp (and then amp to a TV) and have nvidia drivers detect the TV as a device? should this happen automatically? thanks. [02:32] hmmm, when my machine was working, it was using ra0 as the network [02:32] Dr_Willis: What will I do if it works for the new user? Are you thinking that I should migrate everything to a new account in that case? [02:32] but its only looking for eth4 and wlan0 [02:33] tryign to get dhcpd [02:33] which isn't working [02:33] phil_: you can clean out the problem users settings. [02:33] . [02:33] Sorry, it stuffed up, yeah I have terminal open [02:33] ok type "pkill nautilus" [02:34] Jordan_U: couldn't get networking connected [02:34] Hp dm4t trackpad not working, help please [02:34] matt____: tjheres been issues mentioned in here befor using the audio part of HDMI with some nvidia chipsets. Ive never heard of anyone running hdmi to an 'amp' befor. doing that wiuld be the same as using the analog sound outs id imagine. Unless you got some digital amp. :) [02:34] Sorry, it stuffed up, yeah I have terminal open, How can I logout of fluxbox/ [02:35] * monoxide forgot [02:35] great, so how do I fix this race condition? [02:35] Adem1: sudo service gdm restart - will restart the X server :) [02:35] whats your right click menu look like? [02:36] Venim: You tried connecting with iwconfig and running "dhclient wlan0"? [02:36] Hey guys, I just need Synaptic to read my CD-Rom... And it's not. Any reason why? [02:36] ShayneFalco: you added the cdrom as a 'source' ? what cd is it in the cd rom exactly anyway? [02:37] Dr_Willis: I want to install a programme from my Ubuntu CD. [02:37] ShayneFalco, did you read the foum post I linked above? [02:37] It detects it on the dekstop. [02:37] Jordan_U: my wifi dongle isn't loading [02:37] KK, fluxbox IS NOT my thing :p [02:37] monoxide: No, I did not, sorry. I will look it up. [02:37] it might be a solution you can use [02:37] Adem: it pays to read the fluxbox docs. [02:38] Adem: that goes for most of the window managers out there. :) [02:38] :p [02:38] Im more of a gui guy [02:38] then gnome :p [02:38] Adem: fluxbox has features you will defaintaly overlook. [02:38] monoxide: ports worked for ssl? [02:38] Adem: you can use fluxbox with gnome. [02:38] I used freenodes server port 7000 [02:39] chat.freenode.net\7000 [02:39] I like xfce [02:39] ok [02:39] Its what Im used to [02:39] Monoxide: I'm not sure I understand... [02:39] what are the comparisons between gnome and xfce [02:39] i am trying to setup bridging on virtualbox to a virtualmachine. when i start the machine i get: "Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER). [02:39] ShayneFalco, your wireless card uses that chipset [02:39] those directions if followed may provide you with wireless access in ubuntu [02:40] Adem: gnome has more features. [02:40] Great, so Ubuntu won't boot because my SSD is too fast! Hah! [02:40] There's a race condition between udev creating /dev/disk/by-uuid... and mountall trying to mount the things udev creates. [02:40] Jordan_U: is there any way i can do this via live cd? [02:40] I'm in trouble. I ran update-manager a few hours ago, and amongst the updates were some X server or X11 entries. After rebooting my screen goes totally blank. Had to boot into safe mode [02:40] what's the best terminal? [02:40] or bash shell [02:40] Monoxide, which will be helpful... But I have no way of accessing any of this at the moment. I am running on another computer as we speak. All I want to do is detect my CD-Rom in Synaptic right now... (If that makes sense) [02:40] Venim: What are you trying to do exactly? [02:41] i broke X [02:41] and need to fix it [02:41] well, xserver* [02:41] Dr_Willis - thanks. i'm having trouble getting audio *and* video to the amp. (it's a digital amp.) amp receives no signal from hdmi cable from graphics card from ubuntu machine. nvidia-settings doesn't detect amp (or tv) as a device; am i likely to need to plug hdmi straight into tv to get nvidia to detect the device through hdmi? analog sound/video isn't an option with my graphics card.... [02:41] ...many thanks again. [02:41] Venim; We're in the same boat D: [02:41] Venim: Yes, you can probably fix X from a LiveCD [02:41] OK, how do I address messages like this? Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment [02:41] ShayneFalco, no problem. I do not have a solution for your synaptic manager but you can download the driver listed in the forum and move it using a usb stick to the ubuntu machine to perform what needs to be completed [02:41] opinion question: what is the best screen capture program for say... tutorials? [02:41] Jordan_U: i updated to 10.04 and some stuff went weird, and I think I ended up breaking xserver [02:42] ShayneFalco: so, internet access is all you really need right now? Right? [02:42] doyle: You need to give context when asking about error messages. [02:42] Greez: Yes. [02:42] apparently I added a repository (ppa?) called X Updates [02:42] ok, well i'm burning a live CD atm [02:42] before upgrading [02:42] ohh no [02:42] ShayneFalco: what pc are you running right now, how is it connected to the net? [02:42] what's the best terminal? [02:42] If anyone interested in checking out Programming video..

Did the .deb thing and got to the point where deluge will open a window, but the GUI won't appear and it just kind of sits there. When I close it, I have to kill the process [02:43] hello [02:43] Greez: I have a Compaq, and I have a wireless USB adapter. It is not being detected, which is why I want to install ndiswrapper. [02:43] matt____: theres known issues with hdmi audio and nvidia in some cases. So it may be the thing just cant work as an audio out at this time. 10.10 may fix it. or the newer nvidia drivers. I would check the forums for your exact card. Ive never used a hdmi auidio card yet. [02:43] Maybe eventually, in a different episode, they'll get a chance to talk about ubuntu.. :) [02:43] Jordan_U: Avant Window Navigator ./configure = Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

You decide [02:43] cant find package urxvt [02:43] Hobz, I have had that happen before I close and reopen it a few times [02:43] hmm [02:43] or try to open a torrent [02:43] greez: Running a Sony Vaio, Win 7, Wifi. [02:43] (Sorry) [02:43] it sometimes forces the gui to display and load the rest of the way [02:43] doyle: Why are you compiling from source?

Grew up in windows world, download install, easy. Now synaptic is always a secondary thought after compiling from source fails... [02:44] vaio's drive me nuts, expensive machines [02:44] ShayneFalco: does it have an ethernet interface? If so, setup internet connection sharing on the win 7 box, and connect that to your ubuntu box's ethernet interface. You may need a crossover cable, but if you can get a link light, then you should be good to go. [02:45] Lol I'm just a silent bot. [02:45] Hey Conrad, i tried it [02:45] I did not really understand that Greez, I am sorry. I am really new to this.And I have no cables. [02:45] but then it says it fails [02:45] Jordan_U: Synapticing it! [02:46] error inserting nvidia [02:46] Jordan_U: I just did Koffice 2.2 from source because synatpic refuses to "see" 2.2.

[02:55] how i am i going ot do that [02:55] X -config i think is a little out dated these days. [02:55] test34 : iscan, xsane, simple scan, they all have the same result [02:55] without a graphical interface [02:55] ... [02:55] :( [02:55] Ricasol: via the console and recovery mode.

[02:59] bazhang: yes it is .... [03:00] raj, those are unreliable at best [03:00] How do I remove extra entries in the bootloader, like when it lists ubunut and XP and memtest, how do i edit that?

[03:01] i put my public key on authoriesz_key file but cant login without PW. any any identifies reasons plz [03:01] Sasquatch7, that would be your user password [03:01] bazhang, yeah what i'd like it to say is just windows xp and ubuntu [03:01] clayg: no, theres no app [03:01] only optopns [03:01] i put my public key on authoriesz_key file but cant login without PW. any any identifies reasons plz [03:01] i put my public key on authoriesz_key file but cant login without PW. any any identifies reasons plz [03:01] resno, wow i n eed to check out gmaps then that is cool [03:01] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [03:01] clayg, remove the extra kernels via the package manager then [03:01] doyle: There's your problem [03:01] !mint | doyle [03:01] doyle: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Installing from svn worked fine [03:03] IConrad01: so ive got an error message and im not sure how to fix it. Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER). [03:03] Unknown error creating VM (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER) [03:03] bazhang: what does that have to do with rt3070sta not in the modules???? it is needed in most ralink N wireless betworking [03:03] bazhang: networking .. rt2870sta is for G networking not N [03:03] raj, your first statement was Ubuntu sucks [03:03] ... [03:03] raj: report a bug @ launchpad.net [03:03] SSH into the server with X forwarding and try the GUI. [03:04] doyle: If you had been using stock Ubuntu it would have worked fine. Please don't ask for mint support here as it wastes people's time (for instance trying to figure out why their entriely correct instructions aren't working for you) [03:04] IConrad01: i can view it via rdp. but it just refuses to get an ip from the router [03:04] im still not finding anything, anyone know a bandwidth monitor that excludes local (lan) traffic [03:04] resno: No, you misunderstand. [03:04] I meant the GUI for VBox. [03:04] !info trickle [03:04] trickle (source: trickle): user-space bandwidth shaper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-9 (lucid), package size 36 kB, installed size 168 kB [03:05] IdleOne: a bug has already been reported about it. since bta Nothing has been done [03:05] where would I look to disable the number of password attempts for the sudo command? [03:05] raj: ok well comming in here and telling us UBUNTU SUCKS helped you [03:05] when you run ping in the commandline, is there a way to hide the output ping: unknown host ...? I've tried directing to /dev/null but it doesn't work [03:05] IConrad01: i dont think that will work, i tried to setup x11 forwarding and it doesnt seem to work. has it worked for you? [03:06] resno: What are you trying to SSH into? [03:06] hanlin: 2>/dev/null but why? [03:06] You should SSH into the *HOST*. [03:06] IConrad01: the main machine. not the guest [03:06] When is the memory leak in gnome-power-manager going to be fixed? I need to end task it every day :S [03:06] IdleOne: yes it did. im switching to debian ... ubuntu messes up the kernel for no reason. thx for helping [03:06] Okay... [03:06] raj: ok. [03:06] Does it complain about Xauth? [03:06] trickle is a shaper, does it monitor bandwidth, and if so how do i exclude local traffic? [03:06] IConrad01: no, failed to open the x11 display. [03:07] ... what kind of host OS is it? [03:07] ubuntu server [03:07] i updated from 9.10 to 10.4 and had no issues, i have updated today and it seems to have reverted back to 9.10, can i change it back now? [03:07] test34 do you know of an easy way to turn the blue into white with gimp? [03:07] CNP the exact error, would you? [03:07] Dmstrdj, lsb_release -a in the terminal [03:07] Hey where can I find the giomm-2.4 package? [03:07] MrGoodkat: change hue [03:08] Dmstrdj: That's not possible, what symptoms are you seeing exactly? [03:08] IConrad01: which error, the one when i try to run virtualbox? or when i try to run the guest os? [03:08] thanks bazhang i try it [03:08] The SSH error [03:08] For X forwarding [03:08] ... [03:08] IConrad01: thats thats the whole error, failyed to open the x11 dipslay. [03:08] MrGoodkat: maybe you should look at the scanning program see if it has hue settings? [03:08] the gui looks just like it did in 9.10 [03:08] Type out your ssh command as you execute it. [03:08] IConrad01: VirtualBox [03:08] Random832: i'm writing a script to run when internet has been established, but when it's not, it's spitting out a lot of ping: unknown host to xsession-errors, and i'm trying to avoid that [03:09] No, the *ssh* command. [03:09] Dmstrdj, the results of that command? [03:09] Not the Shell command. [03:09] I.e.; the command you're throwing *to SSH into the Host* [03:09] Random832: 2>/dev/null works well but then it spits stuff out when it is connected [03:09] bazhang; no lsb modules available [03:09] IConrad01: oh, hmm. well, i just ssh into the host, and issue the program there. maybe thats the problem? [03:09] hanlin: But output to stdout probably isn't sent to xsession-errors [03:10] Dmstrdj, that's just the first line: lsb_release -a [03:10] resno: Please give me an example of how you SSH into the Host. [03:10] IConrad01: ssh ipaddress [03:10] Exit your SSH session. [03:10] it might be easier to force the internet through wifi, and use lan for transfers, is there a way to do this? [03:10] Execute: ssh -X ipaddress [03:10] Jordan_U: 99% of the time there's no difference in solution methods between Ubuntu and Mint. But sure, your point is communicated. [03:11] thanks MaRk-I, hue works great [03:11] has anyone tried building a Linux From Scratch system as a virtual machine in virtualbox? [03:11] MrGoodkat: yw [03:11] ennui, try the lfs channel [03:11] ennui: I'm a sadist, not a masochist. [03:11] well it says i have 10.4, but the gui is back to original [03:11] So... no. [03:12] But I'm definitely going to recommend that to someone now. [03:12] Dmstrdj, then change themes? [03:12] is there a way to force internet traffic through wifi and use eth0 for local traffic only? [03:12] MrGoodkat, I would try: Color - Color Balance.. but you should also take a look at mogrify (part of imagemagick) if you need to modify many images [03:12] ok? now i feel pretty stupid [03:12] IConrad01: ok, im in. [03:12] resno: *Now* pass VirtualBox [03:13] IConrad01: yes, i have it working. :) [03:13] resno: X11 forwarding over SSH doesn't work unless you *tell* SSH to forward X11. :) [03:13] IConrad01: stupid ssh :) [03:13] Is your VM NAT or Bridged? [03:13] lol [03:13] IConrad01: bridged. like and name is set to eth0. [03:14] Hrm. Power it up. [03:14] bazhang that still doesnt put the buttons back on the left of the windows [03:14] If you can, power it up with the CLI option to go headless. [03:14] Actually, strike that. We want runlevel 5. [03:15] So... just power it up. [03:15] Dmstrdj, seems you need to change back to default lucid theme then [03:15] k [03:15] I installed LAMP for development. How do I stop LAMP from starting at startup? [03:15] IConrad01: do you think its worthwhile to try reinstalling? [03:16] Dmstrdj: you want the buttons on the left? [03:16] Dmstrdj: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu,close,maximize,minimize" [03:16] ok [03:17] thanks all [03:17] Welcome [03:18] If you stick programs you commonly run on a panel, is there a way to get them evenly spaced out automatically without dragging and positioning each one seperatly? [03:18] no [03:19] wait maybe [03:19] clarkb_: right click on the icons and select "lock to panel" [03:19] oops clayg [03:19] sorry [03:20] hi there, i'm getting a lot of mail daemons from drweb. what can i do?

[03:22] wtf [03:22] drweb is an antivirus service for your mailserver [03:22] Guest20146, the one that causes it to jump >100megs each day [03:22] MaRk-I, ok yeah im looking for something that will move them for me automatically [03:22] hi, Is there any sense in having rules after "ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere " in my chain output by iptables -L [03:23] join #blender [03:23] free software is free but you have to make it work [03:23] clayg: no, no, you have to adjust/place them where you want, then lock them [03:24] afterwards they wont move [03:24] MaRk-I, gotcha that is a limitation I'm hoping there would be a solution to but what you are saying is you know of none right?

[03:28] Hobz: Hrm... uninstall the old deluge completely? [03:28] And then try installing the new. [03:28] !nfs | developer [03:28] developer: nfs is the network file system.

[03:28] other than just copying your home folder to another drive [03:29] Venim: yes wait one for the link... [03:29] IConrad01, that'd be a purge? [03:29] Venim: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-separate-home-partition-in-ubuntu.html [03:30] after creating your /home you can safely reinstall buntu [03:30] its already in a separate partition [03:30] Venim: then you're good to go.

Other than smbclient? I need it to be light! [03:32] Venim: then just select manual partitioning during the reinstall and tell it not to format your /home partition [03:32] k [03:32] IConrad01, the conflict is gone, but it still won't install python2.6-cairo and python2.6-gobject [03:32] rww: smarter than me.

[03:51] Do you have your routers configured, zimbres ? [03:51] janice hang on ill have a look... [03:52] HeTaL, I have never configured my router ... [03:52] zimbres: You have to configure it to forward port 22 to your computer, if you are on wireless. [03:52] zimbres, are you trying to use hostname or IP address? also are you using a virtual machine at all? [03:52] Bunbury, no privating, thanks [03:52] I've got a quick 3D question.

[03:54] i use the following command to establish the bind mount --bind /home/user /export/users [03:54] researcher1: Ok, now compile and install. Do you know how to? [03:54] ? [03:54] guys i installed windows7 after my xubuntu10.04 install, trying to repair my MBR and Grub using this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD it says it installed grub successfully and when i reboot it just boots into windows... any ideas? [03:54] what the command for the removing the bind? [03:54] HeTal My question is little different. Can I ask [03:54] zimbres: What router do you have? It hould have an easy interface to configure that. [03:54] researcher1: Go ahead. I'm not an expert though, just a noobie helping out [03:54] ubuntu, i gave you 2 suggestions, i feel you are spamming this channel [03:55] Are PPA trustfull ? [03:55] so do i install the kernel from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/ [03:55] ? [03:55] alket, if you have to ask, consider it NO [03:55] defrysk: Why ? [03:55] HeTaL, I think the default for ubuntu ... [03:55] HeTaL I have .tar.bz2 for a software with source code in C. I have modified a few .C files. Now I want the software to run with that effect. [03:55] depends upon which ppa site you're trying to enable [03:55] alket, unsupported, completely at your own risk [03:55] defrysk: Was there any mass incident [03:56] alket, ppais highly bleeding and sometimes experimental [03:56] zimbres: I meant your wireless router.

[03:57] Guest17743, which card [03:58] alket, if your grub craps out because of this , dont ask for advise here , thats all [03:58] HeTaL, I configured ssh to listen on port 2222 and had the same problem ... [03:58] HeTal ok [03:58] What error are you getting? Is it timing out, or is the connection refused? [03:58] unsure integrated graphics [03:58] Guest17743: lspci and check what card you have.

Intelligent Teaching And Learning with Computers [04:13] hello out there [04:13] What is iTALC? [04:13] iTALC is a use- and powerful didactical tool for teachers. It lets you view and control other computers in your network in several ways. It supports Linux and Windows 2000/XP (Vista support will come) and it even can be used transparently in mixed environments! [04:14] Anyway, this is getting a bit offtopic ;) [04:14] Is Ubuntu Unity target for netbooks only ? [04:14] Pici: You only see that description if the package is installed, in my case, it wasn't. [04:14] alket: that's what it's targeted towards, yes [04:14] Tootoot222: sounds like vnc, lots [04:14] is there a xubuntu server? [04:14] Viking667: apt-cache show italc-client [04:14] rww: What about UNR ? [04:14] But I see the Wikipedia article seems to describe it [04:14] SGottl7227, server normally is command line only [04:14] SGottl7227: nope. Ubuntu Server doesn't include a graphical user interface, so there's no need for a second one for different GUIs [04:15] SGottl7227: theres xubuntu desktop only, ubuntu server is an ubuntu install with no desktop environment [04:15] SGottl7227: the only difference between ubuntu and xubuntu is the display; there is no display on a server [04:15] Pici: huh? I was using showpkg [04:15] alket: It'll end up being part of UNE (-Edition, the new name for UNR), as I understand it [04:15] I just removed libpango1.0-0 and definitely screwed up my ubuntu 8.04. what do I do now? I have no package manager and no terminal [04:15] rww thank you [04:15] rww: yeah its renamed in Lucid to confuse people, its weird [04:15] rolo: TTY? [04:15] was anyone successful in installing Jono Bacon's unity PPA on 64bit/nvidia? http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/06/25/unity-love/ [04:15] Darn!!! [04:15] what? [04:15] rolo: alt+ctrl+F1 [04:15] rolo: install the deb using dpkg [04:15] ActionParsnip: makes sense, since it isn't a Remix ;P [04:15] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [04:16] I've been _looking_ for a parameter like that for the past four YEARS! [04:16] i tried to install xubuntu to my imac G3 computer. 9.04 worked.. but 10.04 didn't.. do i need more memory.. it is Power PC version [04:16] rww: how is it different to the remix? [04:16] it's urpmq -i's equivalent. [04:16] Tootoot222, maybe before saying that, tell them how to get back :| [04:16] yeah... [04:16] ActionParsnip: remixes contain packages that aren't in the normal Ubuntu repositories. Editions don't. The renaming was... somewhat delayed. [04:16] i ordered it from electrodisc.com [04:16] SGottl7227: they all need the same min spec, its not like windows where each newer version needs more grunt [04:16] I looked at "show" in the man page, didn't seem to describe what I wanted to know. [04:16] rww: makes sense now, thanks for clearing it up [04:17] Viking667: Just watching this channel scroll by can be so educational :) [04:17] Pici: it's like osmosos [04:17] but better! [04:17] and real [04:17] i don't know.. i did 9.04 xubuntu upgrade over the internet.. the screen went black when i restarted.. then i ordered the disc for full install and the same problem [04:17] oooo yeah. [04:17] i was about to say, im here purely for entertainment purposes [04:17] Pici: thats nearly all i can manage in my current state [04:17] i mean 10.04 [04:17] mmmm. Neat. [04:17] 9.04 worked with my G3. but not 10.04 [04:18] SGottl7227, cool [04:18] SGottl7227: did you check the cd for defects? [04:18] yes its good [04:18] SGottl7227, use 9.4 [04:18] SGottl7227: have you tried some boot options [04:18] why is 10.04 such a problem for my G3 PPC version [04:18] try take out the 'quiet splash' from your bootloader SGottl7227, see what is going on [04:18] 10.04 don't work with my graphics card either [04:19] Venim, y [04:19] SGottl7227: what on 10.04 "doesn't work". yuo never told us what doesnt work which is kinda important [04:19] it has something called yaboot [04:19] Venim: black screen at boot? [04:19] Guest49530, please take a moment to type out full words [04:19] ActionParsnip: yup [04:19] 203.192.4.1 [04:19] Anyhow, can someone run this command inside a terminal and tell me what they get? glxinfo | grep -i "server glx vendor string" [04:19] Viking667: server glx vendor string: SGI [04:20] hm. [04:20] Venim: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [04:20] Viking667, NVIDIA Corporation ;) [04:20] What do you get for: OpenGL renderer string [04:20] hm. [04:20] hi whats latest version of xorg supported by lucid? [04:20] 7.7.1 I suspect... [04:20] !info xorg lucid [04:20] xorg (source: xorg): X.Org X Window System. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 1 kB, installed size 36 kB [04:21] ooo? [04:21] I've got 7.7.1 when I check glxinfo... what's .... that's weird. [04:21] i like how xorg is optional :D [04:21] well i ordered the disc.. made especially for apple G3, G4.. from electro disc. i have done business with them b4.. i have 9.04 xubuntu installed since this is an old machine. but i ordered 10.04 a few weeks ago. .also PPC version. and it went through the installation process, but when it restarted after install.. i got the 10.04 logo. then no further. the screen went black [04:21] Ahh, but it IS. [04:21] Xorg -version gives me 1.7.6 [04:21] Viking667: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV730 9488) 20090101 TCL DRI2 [04:21] SGottl7227: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [04:21] Weird. Can someone using the ati driver give me their results? [04:22] and how do i use glxinfo lol [04:22] Because I'm getting "Brian Paul" for a vendor [04:22] Bunbury: start terminal, run this: glxinfo | less [04:22] action does that fix make a difference if i am using 10.04 xubuntu version [04:22] hmmm [04:23] instead of ubuntu version [04:23] Viking667: You have a bogus libGL.so in your path, most likely [04:23] SGottl7227: if your vga is intel most likely [04:23] how do i go about fixing my OS from the live cd [04:23] SGottl7227: the xubuntu/ubuntu parts don't affect it yet [04:23] seems like it. [04:23] like installing packages and such [04:23] I wonder if thas' what's been skewing my dri [04:23] i don't think early apples used intel.. didn't they use ibm [04:24] SGottl7227, PowerPC [04:24] yes thats what i have. but 10.04 gave me problems at restart [04:24] not 9.04 [04:25] Viking667, ty [04:25] Viking667: Brian Paul is the programmer for the Mesa3d graphics library. [04:25] SGottl7227: its all the same dude [04:25] my usb mouse is not working [04:25] same whether i updated 9.04 over the internet or with full install disc from electro disc.com [04:25] Viking667: i'm on the xorg-edgers ppa btw [04:25] davrok: if its a laser mouse, is the laser on? [04:26] laser ??? [04:26] davrok: on the bottom/underside [04:26] it will either have a ball, or a laser [04:26] so how can i reinstall X from this live CD [04:26] davrok: litle red light on the bottom [04:27] Venim: you can chroot into your hdd partition [04:27] davrok: not an old school ball mouse [04:27] or infrared/ultraviolet... [04:27] my ./configure command gives this message bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [04:27] [04:27] some of the modern 'laser' mice don't have a visible light [04:27] also there was color problem with my G3 using xubuntu 9.04... i have very low color rate.. like 8 bit.. terrible colors.. [04:27] researcher1: hm. [04:27] Tootoot222: how do I go about doing that? [04:27] and most optical mice don't use lasers ;) [04:27] researcher1: you might just have to run ``make'' then [04:27] no body in this chat room? [04:27] Venim, boot grub recovery mode if possible might be easier then chrooting but see the !grub2 factoid for chroot instructions [04:28] that's why I quoted the word laser. [04:28] SGottl7227: you can sort the colours later, get a dislpay first then you can configure video === lithx is now known as twinsenx [04:28] its got a red light that goes on then off [04:28] yes. .well display worked with 9.04.. but not 10.04 [04:28] Venim: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev; sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys; sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc; sudo chroot /mnt [04:28] davrok: that's a red LED with a detector.

[04:28] (or your mouse is, anyhow) [04:28] whether i did online upgrade.. or via disc i ordered for PPC [04:28] beihaixiaozhu, this is ubuntu support; for support in Chinese #ubuntu-cn ; for offtopic chat #ubuntu-offtopic [04:28] Venim: where sda1 is your ubuntu partition [04:28] why not configure command working [04:28] online upgrade tookk 4 h ours [04:29] researcher1: might not be in the correct directory [04:29] researcher1: they might not use autoconfigure to make configure scripts [04:29] researcher1, compiling? [04:29] disc install took about 75 minutes [04:29] researcher1: some compiles dont need it, did you read the nistall text file? It will tell you [04:29] not everyone uses autoconf - some people can't stand it. Wonder if they use cmake? [04:29] 386 archetecture is much faster [04:29] which directory should I be into [04:29] silly me it works now!!! [04:29] yay! [04:29] SGottl7227: not necessarily [04:29] Install text file suggest to use .configure command [04:30] researcher1: we don't know. try this: find . -iname "readme*" [04:30] i installed from 9.04 to 10.04 online with a very fast connection .. but my G3 computer is very slow. it took 4 hours to upgrade [04:30] ActionParsnip: i think he's comparing to ppc, not i686 or x64 =p [04:30] ok.thanks [04:30] SGottl7227: was that the 603E or the 604? [04:31] then on restart the screen only showed the 10.04 start u p screen with the 5 blinking lights for a ffew seconds. then it went blank.. dark [04:31] SGottl7227: wrong graphics driver most likely [04:31] what graphics card did you say you haveL [04:31] ? [04:31] same with disc install. except it too about 75 minutes to install instead of 4 h ours [04:31] Tootoot222: still the same stands, it's not outright faster , better , stronger. Each chip type has advantages and may excell in different situations :) [04:31] well why would 9.04 work and not 10.04 [04:31] !ppc [04:31] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [04:31] SGottl7227: different kernel for one [04:32] SGottl7227: if you have an nvidia card, in 9.04 they defaulted to the closed source nv drivers, where in 10.04 they do the open source ones [04:32] oh so its not supported anymore. .thats why it didn't work?

[04:33] are there other linux version available that still support PPC? [04:33] o nvm [04:33] i'm dumb [04:34] ;) [04:34] i read 100 MB as 100 GB [04:34] lol [04:34] i mounted my boot :p [04:34] XD [04:34] SGottl7227: gentoo! [04:34] i might burn it or order it [04:34] lol a joke, don't try to install that [04:34] works with older G3 models too too? [04:34] no no no! CP/M [04:34] oh damn [04:34] SGottl7227: puppy runs amazingly on ppc [04:35] SGottl7227: gentoo works with any device in the world that can run gcc [04:35] SGottl7227: did you check the link I posted? [04:35] but it is extremely complex and you install EVERYTHING from source code [04:35] or RST/S [04:35] do they have that version available for PPC? [04:35] mainly because puppy rocks hard [04:35] (I -think- that was its name [04:35] i have a version of puppy for PC platform. but would i need a different version [04:36] is there a PPC version of puppy? [04:36] how do i make ubuntu persistent changes on usb key? [04:36] A friend of mine got a quite powerful virus (windows user of course), now his USB flashdrive has two partitions, one of them has a CD-ROM filesystem (apparently) so it is read only, I can't elminate this partition nor delete the files in it (the actual virus), I have tried gparted, parted and fdisk; no results. Any ideas? [04:36] i have used puppy on this Ibm computer.. 386 architecture [04:36] ok so may I help? [04:37] darolu: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb [04:37] i added in lilo for kernel options "persistent" but that only allows me to modify and add files to the usb key [04:37] if you don't mind obliterating the drive [04:37] but i want it to run on my apple g3 [04:37] SGottl7227: try asking in #puppylinux; other distros are offtopic for #ubuntu [04:37] Tootoot222: thanks, I'll try it [04:37] darolu: if it's one of those lame U3 drives, you physically can't write to it [04:37] they suck [04:37] i have 2 ;_; [04:37] yes.. but this G3 is still ok. except the videos are very choppy. it is too slow a precessor [04:37] processor [04:38] Tootoot222: you need the U3 uninstaller [04:38] Tootoot222: it is a U3\ System\ File/ so there is no hope? [04:38] darolu: yeah... you could give it a shot anyways [04:38] it doesn't hurt as long as you don't have anything on it you may not want to lose [04:38] i will be back. going to check puppy web site [04:39] SGottl7227: the ppc version will run on the g3 fine, you just need the video drivers to be nice and it will run nice [04:39] anyone know how to make complete persistent change on usb key? [04:39] ActionParsnip: I posted a link with the issue about it [04:39] not wasting my time anymore [04:39] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent bobas [04:40] bobas, it is also possible to do full installs onto USB keys. [04:40] Hello friends. [04:40] MaRk-I: didnt see the link [04:40] ZykoticK9, is it possible to do a full install while using the usb key onto the usb key? [04:40] MaRk-I: chill out dude [04:40] bobas: if you have ubuntu 9.10+, go to system > administration > startup disk creator [04:40] bobas, sorry what? [04:40] ActionParsnip: nvm [04:40] bobas: no, i don't think you can livecd-boot from the usb, and then install to the usb [04:41] ZykoticK9, im running ubuntu on live usb key at the moment [04:41] dang [04:41] i see [04:41] I meant I posted the link for him, he's just not paying attn. [04:41] just burn a CD while you're on the USB [04:41] boot to the CD, [04:41] burn to the USB, [04:41] Is there any central application for all Educational applications? I think if not, we should make one, something like a Central System, which will allow us to access Kalzium, Kig, Avogadro and everything all at once. [04:41] reboot to USB [04:41] Tootoot222: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:41] my cdrom drive is dead [04:41] oh lol [04:41] i guess i need two usb keys [04:41] if you have 2 USB ports and a 2nd USB drive you can do an install there [04:41] yea [04:42] bobas, just as an FYI if you do install onto USB be sure to manually configure where grub is installed too! [04:42] is it possible to use wubi installer to install ubuntu onto usb key? [04:42] bobas: What are you trying to set up? [04:42] rocket16: something like the ubuntu-software-center with the nice big "education" button? [04:42] IConrad01, ubuntu on usb key persistent changes [04:42] IConrad01: live USB with persistant storage [04:42] Hrm. [04:42] Define "persistent changes" [04:43] IConrad01, where like i apt-get something itstays [04:43] but he only has ubuntu on the USB he wants to install to [04:43] Oh. [04:43] bobas: better use unetbootin [04:43] bobas: You can setup the Ubuntu netboot installer to boot, which will then be able to install to the USB key. [04:43] Tootoot222: Well, Software centre is for installation, I meant something like KOffice, which runs all of them, without having to open separately, :) [04:43] Actually, I can think of a way to do that. [04:43] But it's convoluted. [04:43] Jordan_U, i see [04:43] Dump the *.iso file onto your USB stick. [04:43] It'll need to be reformatted ext3 or ext4, first. [04:44] Once that's on there, do a grub-install to make the usb key a boot device. === hellothere is now known as thatdude [04:44] how do I install System|Admin|services in 10.04? === thatdude is now known as thatdude1 [04:44] don't you usually have to extract the casper stuff? [04:44] You'll set up the grub.cfg file to loopback into the *.iso file. [04:44] IConrad01, ahi see [04:44] bobas: What do you plan to do if the netboot install fails part way through though? [04:44] That won't be persistent... [04:44] bobas: if you use usb-creator-gtk you can put the CD onto a USB and boot from that and run it off that afair [04:44] !usb [04:44] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:45] BUT -- you can chroot into the USB key itself -- and *that* will have persistent changes. [04:45] bobas: IConrad01's idea will only work with the netboot CD. [04:45] is there a sound mixer for pulseaudio? [04:45] if anyone wants to play typeracer (the name says it all) come to http://play.typeracer.com/?rt=4glf5majeguv - addicted. [04:45] IConrad01: there is a guide there for persistant usb [04:45] sounds like fun [04:45] Jordan_U: No, I've done it with the default LiveCD. [04:45] !ot | rapid [04:45] rapid: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:45] Don't need netboot CD. [04:45] IConrad01: the ubuntu-startup-disk creator (within ubuntu) can install ubuntu to a USB without actually /installing/ to it, it's in a casper file like Viking667 said [04:45] Hi guys. Here's the deal. I want to use my macbook pro (5,4 late 2009) with the ubuntu live cd. The problem is that the wireless drivers aren't included in the livecd so when I want to use wireless I need to connect my laptop to an ethernet cable. Is there a way I can download .deb packages of the drivers and have them on a flash drive so i can install them without a wired internet connection? thanks [04:45] IConrad01: You can't install to the device you're booted from, except with the netboot CD. [04:46] hm. I've done similar things with OpenBSD's CDROM, NetBSD's install files and FreeBSD's DVD, as well as about three different sorts of Linux. [04:46] thatdude1: do you know what drivers you need? [04:46] bobas: I need to leave for about 15 minutes, then I can help you do this (I've done it before). [04:46] thatdude1: or what wireless card you have? [04:46] Jordan_U, im trying to see if i can resize partition using gparted [04:46] bobas: you can't resize / [04:46] while it's mounted [04:46] dam [04:46] Jordan_U: You can't format a disk you're booting from either. [04:47] The only problem I struck was with FreeBSD, but it wouldn't have been a problem if the 'target' machine actually supported booting from a USB drive to begin with. [04:47] So you can't do any of what I was saying if you're booting from the USB key. [04:47] heh. [04:47] When I try to load up a livecd, it takes me to a terminal instead; how can I fix this? [04:47] Tootoot222, well i know that when i boot up with the livecd if i go to the hardware drivers menu in "sytem-> administration" i can see the name of the recommend drivers to install/enable.. [04:47] finally upgraded to 10.04 LTS, props to the devs. it's really nice so far [04:47] kernel is outdated though [04:47] fast? [04:47] thatdude1: you can make a liveUSB with persistant storage, and install the drivers from there; that way they don't get lost when you try to reboot into them like a CD [04:48] dumdumz: on what platform? [04:48] Evil_: what ubuntu version? [04:48] 10.04 [04:48] Eh. My approach was better tailored to making a true multiboot USB key. [04:48] Evil_: did you check the cd for defects? [04:48] does anyone get total monitor/keyb/mouse lockup after multimedia use? [04:48] bobas, any module missing in kernel ? [04:48] Evil_: try to press ctrl+alt+F7 or F8 [04:48] I have the i386 Ubuntu 10.04, amd64 Ubuntu 10.04, Backtrack 4, and memtest on my USB key. [04:48] defrysk, not that i know of [04:48] Tootoot222, sounds like a plan, but the problem is i have an macbook pro and I dont think u can boot ubuntu off usb on it (mac os you can) or if it's possible there is some mad trickery/hackery involved [04:49] ActionParsnip, yes, it was literally freshly burned and put in the drive [04:49] Tootoot222, so I need to get .deb files or something [04:49] bobas, then explain the outdated bit ? [04:49] Or, if none of that works, Alt-SysRQ-R, then go Ctl-Alt-F1 [04:49] Evil_: yes but did you run the cd self check? [04:49] Evil_: its part of the cd once you first boot to it [04:49] thatdude1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=419427 [04:50] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [04:50] Anyone a dovecot user in here? Got a real amazingly simple question :) But #dovecot are dead. [04:50] anyone , total system lockups [04:50] ? [04:50] Lantizia: ask away, we may be able to help [04:50] Bunbury: all fine here [04:50] i got the options on my laptop however it goes into hibernate even i choose suspend and I cant bring it back up [04:51] k [04:51] ActionParsnip, When you access IMAP e-mail using something like Thunderbird... do the Sent / Drafts / Trash etc folders sit along side the Inbox folder - or inside the Inbox folder (like with courier)? [04:51] no issues Bunbury [04:51] anyone using arrandale i3 based laptop with lucid? [04:51] i7 [04:51] Lantizia: I haven't used it in a while, but I believe alongside [04:52] * rww isn't sure about that, though [04:52] hmm, ok anyone use Dovecot who knows? [04:52] Lantizia: not sure personally, sorry [04:53] o well kernels 2.6.32 did it and 2.6.31 performed poorly [04:53] Tootoot222: hm. You might be the person to ask then: how do I get 'proper' 3D accelerated rendering back? [04:53] just installed 2.6.34 to see if its fixed [04:54] ... Because I think you'll agree a glxgears of 860 is _not_ fast... I've previously had 4945 [04:54] Bunbury: could try maverick as well 2.6.35 [04:54] whoah lol [04:54] Viking667: what driver you using? [04:54] and what card [04:54] Lantizia: you mean like this?? http://cutedgesystems.com/software/MailServePro/art/MailWithDovecot.jpg [04:54] should be ati/radeon [04:54] Radeon 9550 (rv350) [04:54] Lantizia, I am using thenderbird [04:55] Viking667: radeon (the free driver) has very little 3D, you have to use fglrx [04:55] ActionParsnip, thats in rc3 at this link http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [04:55] MaRk-I, no thats not very clear whats going on [04:55] Bunbury: not sure dude, all I know is maverick uses 35 [04:55] abhi_nav, what do you see? Inbox next to the others, or the others inside Inbox? [04:55] yea i didnt want to use a non final one yet [04:56] running .34 first [04:56] Lantizia, I ddnt got the difference [04:56] Tootoot222: I can't _use_ that, the driver doesn't 'recognise' my card even exists. [04:56] Bunbury: could use the livecd, just to test [04:56] will that run ok [04:56] abhi_nav, Is Sent inside Inbox? [04:56] IConrad01: With the netboot CD everything is loaded into RAM, so you can install to the device you loaded it from. [04:57] the test is to do alot of multimedia [04:57] Tootoot222: that's partially why I installed libMesa to begin with. [04:57] Jordan_U: I've never touched one, so I couldn't tell you. [04:57] IConrad01: I'm telling you :) [04:57] I need a help in sharing internet from one pc to another [04:57] Lantizia, no. when I sent some email from thunderbird that sent folder is not inside inbox. if i go to browser and sent mail from there it appers in inbox. [04:58] defrysk, wicd doesnt work either... it puts a very long scrambled number in ESSID. Where do I edit the config file? [04:58] abhi_nav, and your mail server is dovecot and you connect via imap? [04:59] Viking667: you could try to install the xorg-edgers ppa, get the cutting edge drivers [04:59] bobas: Do you want to install 64 bit or 32 bit Ubuntu? [04:59] heh. [04:59] By the way, where would I look to find old drivers, i.e. for summa-class tablets? [04:59] I note that support for summa stopped rather abruptly [05:00] Bunbury: should be fine, you will need to install video drivers if you have a video card requiring non-open drivers but this is very possible [05:00] Lantizia, dont know about dovecot. but gmail uses imap [05:00] abhi_nav, ok nevermind [05:00] hmm [05:00] abhi_nav: i access it in evolution using op [05:00] s/op/pop [05:00] abhi_nav, you've pretty much failed to see the entire point of my question :) it doesn't matter! [05:00] ActionParsnip, 'op'? [05:01] Lantizia, yes. [05:01] abhi_nav: s/op/pop [05:01] Tootoot222: what do I need to stick after: apt-add-repository ppa: ? [05:01] ActionParsnip, what is that? [05:01] abhi_nav: it means 'switch op for pop' [05:01] ActionParsnip, ohh you mean imap , pop , pop3, ? that one pop? [05:02] I was looking for an easy way to change the login screen and found the this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Login_Menu_settings but when I goto System>Admin there is no "Advanced" - how do I enable it? [05:02] clayg: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 [05:02] Viking667: system > administration > software sources > other software > add [05:02] ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa [05:02] apt-get update & upgrade [05:02] clayg: easy stuff, run a command, log off, change screen, log on, runn command [05:03] will probably be a lot of X-related packages [05:03] ah. That's what I wanted to know. Thank you, it's not in the list of options I had... I just needed the 'xorg-edgers' bit [05:03] hello, I need help please!, my graphical interface suddenly stops working and it resets itself (just like when you hit ctrl + alt + backspace), and it hapens at least once a day, today I was burning a dvd and the GUI restarted and of course the dvd was nothing but garbage, any idea how to solve this?, the sistem sent me to this link http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ [05:03] Viking667: xorg edgers is very bleeding edge so you may get issues [05:03] ActionParsnip, thanks for that guide, I'll give it a shot -the mention of an "advanced" tab in system>admin has me curious, do you know how to enable it? [05:03] \ [05:04] whats the latest stable version of ubuntu? [05:04] hmm.

[05:05] Tootoot222: wht's the ref in your sources.list? [05:05] I dont use lucid linx, I use karmic koala [05:05] ActionParsnip, the guide you gave me seems to be dealing with the background of the login screen I want a whole different theme [05:05] hm. splashy? [05:06] Is there any way to get a search box (e.g. for google or beagle) _inside_ the gnome panel itself? Right now the only search feature is a button which opens up an application/small window [05:06] I haven't been able to find any applets for it [05:06] What i'm looking for would be similar to e.g. the address bar in Windows [05:06] Viking667: http://i45.tinypic.com/34ipszm.jpg [05:07] * Viking667 hates the address bar in windows. it takes up space [05:07] Has anyone been able to get the alsa-driver-linuxant package working on lucid? It always fails for me at the module building stage. [05:07] It takes up space, but I have 3x 1920x1200 monitors, I have plenty of space. [05:07] It's also useful :P [05:07] Yeah, that's kind of pointless, as you're browser is just going to come up anyway :) [05:07] hmmm. That's interesting. [05:08] greezmunkey, well, it's not pointless for beagle [05:08] Viking667: i don't actually use cairo-dock, i just like to 'wow' all the mac people i know ;D [05:08] my high end gfx card doesn't like the default versions either [05:09] the ones in the ppa work well [05:09] Samual: I want to think I've run across that before, let me see what I can find... [05:09] hm. my ref reads like this: http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edger/ppa/ubuntu lucid main [05:09] obviously that's not correct. === SpyderBite is now known as Spyder|zzz [05:10] is there a way to get gnome to remember to use metacity on log in? I had compiz but it is now gone and when I log in I have no window manager! Do I just add metacity to startup applications? [05:10] i was disconnected, is the latest stable version of ubuntu 10.4 or what? [05:10] Samual: http://projects.gnome.org/deskbar-applet/ [05:10] currently, yeah [05:10] Viking667: nah that's right; ppa's just expand to their URL counterparts [05:10] greezmunkey, K [05:10] !lucid | psuasti [05:10] psuasti: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the current release of Ubuntu.

The model is ATI Radeon 9200 [05:12] http://au.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-imperator [05:12] wp [05:12] soz [05:12] Samual: could just use find in a terminal ;) [05:12] ennui: Start metacity, then close all windows and go to sys>prefs>startup programs>options and click remember currently running application button [05:13] paradello: the open drivers support that card and are part of a standard install [05:13] ActionParsnip, I suppose :P Oh well [05:13] Tootoot222: I suspect I've corrected the messup. [05:13] how can you make gnome not ask whether to run a shellscript in terminal or display it, i just want it to run the script when its double clicked [05:13] Sereph: that's a nautilus setting, I guess. [05:13] ennui: what happened to compiz? [05:14] ChogyDan: His nvidia driver causes sync issues with video playback [05:14] Sereph: it involves right clicking on it or something [05:14] it can be done [05:14] Tootoot222: i want it to default tho [05:14] hey guys new to ubuntu here..i seem to have an issue where sometimes part of my top panel disappears where the system time is shown [05:15] sinnedam: I think thats a bug [05:15] sinnedam: i have that problem too [05:15] mostly when i have 2 monitors enabled [05:15] if i disable the 2nd monitor it goes away [05:15] And my bottom panel doesn't seem to appear until I change desktops [05:15] Tootoot222: its unrelated to that, I've got that issue on my laptop [05:15] yeah this is a laptop too [05:15] I've also got multiple monitors. [05:15] sinnedam: is part of the clock cut off? [05:16] <|BL4CK-V1RUZ|> hi all [05:16] Sereph: this is my laptop i'm talking about [05:16] <|BL4CK-V1RUZ|> i am a new in this chanel [05:16] Tootoot222: with 2 monitors? [05:16] i routinely have it hooked into a hdmi port going to my TV [05:16] yes [05:16] ah [05:16] well last night it was cut off tonight its part of the wireless network icon thats missing [05:16] woo... heavy. [05:16] chogyDan: I removed it. I will put it back soon. I was trying to see if it was my window managers that were causing all the tearing in Mplayer and VLC. I even turned off compositing. nope. Must be the poopy NVIDIA drivers(yes I have sync to vblank enabled) though no one is responding in their channel. Wanted to know if there is a repo and what the newest(dev?) version was. [05:16] sinnedam: yes thats a bug as far as i know, i know how to get around it but not fix it [05:17] sinnedam: right click the top panel and go to properties and play with the expand and show hide buttons checkboxes and it should fix itself [05:17] sinnedam: I'm going to see if its a reported but or what [05:18] ah your right that fixed it [05:18] at least temporarily [05:18] Right. Time I went and rebooted the poor Ubuntoid [05:18] can someone help me please, Im on ubuntu 9.10 and I have this issue [05:18] http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ [05:18] I dont know how to fix it, help please?

[05:19] sinnedam: heh its a 10.04 bug afaik [05:21] Samual: http://browserbookapp.sourceforge.net/deskbar.html [05:21] greezmunkey, Odd, doesn't seem to work that way anymore [05:21] Samual: ?

[05:22] Of course :P [05:22] Samual: idk [05:23] ends of taskbar are blurred but drop down menus and everything else looks fine. is it the monitor or do i need to edit xconf.org files [05:23] sinnedam: av == antivirus? [05:24] yes [05:24] lol [05:24] there is clamav, but ubuntu doesn't get viruses [05:24] return true [05:24] ui: can you paste a screenshot? [05:24] clam is for scanning mail and your windows partition when /it/ gets viruses [05:24] sure [05:24] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [05:24] !virus | sinnedam [05:24] sinnedam: 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 [05:25] hi, i've just installed apache and php5, but pdo has no drivers at all, rendering it useless [05:25] come on there has to be some threats..even macs can be compromised [05:25] ui: heh, screenshot probably won't show that...not if it's a geometry issue (just occurred to me) sorry.

[05:31] ideally the repos contain all the software that you need, and is verified to be virus free [05:31] Tootoot222: uhh? you think the repos handle 100% of software needs? really? [05:31] ui: get the specs on your monitor, once you have that, you can tune X properly. [05:32] monoxide, ya thoggen was wrong sorry [05:32] repos are constantly updated via secure methods, and scanned for changes..a virus or trojan there would be highly unlikely [05:32] i cannot believe that php5 is installed from the repos with pdo, with no drivers. that's just retarded [05:32] tmpgenc works on linux? [05:32] ok, but a compromised website for instance...a browser flaw...could lead to an infection? [05:32] early i installed mplayer and xmms2 here.. but, none of them appear in 'application>multimedia', but, when i run their names in some terminal, it gives me a list of possible commands from the program.. what i have to do?

[05:33] what is the more precise hardware diagnostic for Ubuntu, i mean like astra, everest or sandra for ms [05:33] well of course if you use outdated software..your asking for issues [05:34] so..based on the fact that it is possible to be infected...what options do i have for AV? [05:34] ui: yes, what freqs and resolutions it supports... [05:34] several [05:34] anyone knows how to fix it? [05:34] sinnedam: Yes, that's possible but 1: I've never heard of it happening and 2: Antivirus software wouldn't help you there because that's not a virus. [05:34] whats not a virus? [05:34] monoxide, or i use real media convertor [05:34] greezmunkey: that might be a problem because the monitor app thinks its a 72" monitor when its a 32" [05:34] anti-v and f/ws have things to scan for changes or pups [05:35] 32" monitor? wow! [05:35] tv [05:35] those are what i would look for for a linux os.. [05:35] ubuntu has several a/v and fw's in place already [05:35] sinnedam: any linux 'virus' is most likely somebody just installing sshd, a few root crontabs, and probably changing the root password [05:36] almost all up to date linux distros do [05:36] there's not a whole lot you can do to 'antivirus' against that [05:36] ye maybe ill just stick with deeveedee, unless I can run tmpgenc in wine :) [05:36] ui: ohh, you may have to do some dinking with it, but be careful! [05:36] pcilatency: it'd be alerting on one of my systems permanently, it uses puppy which uses pup files ;) [05:36] I'v spent lots of hours with tmpgenc [05:36] lol [05:36] sinnedam: Not all malware are viruses. Viruses, as they propagate themselves, can be identified fairly reliably with antivirus statistics. Trogans and other non-virus malware often cannot. [05:36] puppy is an os.. not a potentially unwanted program lol [05:37] I got a bad MBR virus in my win box [05:37] its hellish [05:37] ^^ [05:37] Jordan_U: some virus' are human propegated too like the ones saying "send this to 20 people or little boy in africa gets no goats" [05:37] sinnedam: *antivirus heuristics [05:37] greezmunkey: sorry, whats 'dinking'? [05:37] no time for repair when ubuntu runs :) [05:37] or "bill gates will send you 20 bucks to forward this to everyone you know" [05:37] ActionParsnip: Yes, but those viruses aren't detected by antivirus software anyway :) [05:38] ui: :) playing, tweaking, etc... [05:38] help me plz [05:38] viruses can also install in unused memory free space or ram...i've even had a modem become infected and infect other systems... [05:38] Jordan_U: true but they fall into the category of virus and Sophos etc class them as such too. interesting stuff [05:38] greesmunkey: ah okay, yea i figured. it doesnt look as bad when i put it in full res mode, so i might just deal [05:39] anyone help here on winxp?

DRM encription.. [06:11] Evil_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded [06:11] Pina: I can't do anything about the encryption, I'm sorry. [06:11] yes [06:12] ActionParsnip, - kool thanx [06:12] In fact, I don't know if Linux can do anything about an encrypted file.

[06:14] ok ActionParsnip i type slow, so my comment was meant for before your latest post to me [06:14] but a g-line is rather better... untill the git comes back with a different IP [06:15] how do I fix a sudoers permission file with the wrong permissions? I used sudo to change the permissions so I can edit it, but now I can't use sudo at all anymore [06:15] Ok, I will try again later. [06:15] I don't have a root account set up [06:15] is there anything I can do?

[06:16] thanks ActionParsnip [06:16] Evil_: troll [06:16] pcilatency: we cant block by MAC and those IPs were in no way related [06:16] he should at least do it right, lol [06:16] =/ well hope w/e is possible is effective..that was quite disturbing [06:16] pity that. [06:16] pcilatency: think "whack-a-mole" [06:17] rofl [06:17] btw, ActionParsnip I don't know why I'm getting that 'no screen' error, it worked perfectly fine with windows (prolly not sayin much) and arch gave me the same error when I was isntalling Xorg [06:17] guys I am not able to turn on the wifi on my Dell Studio laptop with the "fn+wifi key"... sometimes the wifi is turned on during booting.. [06:17] Evil_: try the safe vga boot options [06:17] what turns it off? [06:17] it works fine when it is turn on.. but now i m not able to turn it on using the multimedia keys. [06:17] ActionParsnip, how do I do that? [06:17] ah [06:18] while my volume and brightness keys are working fine.. any help [06:18] re-install multimedia keybord? [06:18] did you do updates before this happened? [06:19] for some reason after a distro upgrade I can't boot with the default kernel [06:19] ActionParsnip, on the second step i got this back: 'E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)' [06:19] It says something about 'not being able to synch the vfs' [06:19] usually the top bootable is the recent update [06:20] once you update the old kernal is not enabled.. [06:20] ChrazRitt: ok then go find what that means [06:20] should i continue with more steps ActionParsnip? [06:20] I'm having a problem with two CD drives. One constantly gets Buffer I/O errors, the other (I think properly functioning) doesn't even appear. How do I get Ubuntu to recognize a second CD drive? [06:21] hmm [06:21] imaek, check the cables [06:21] Hi, I seem to be having issues in Ubuntu when I try to move a file to the "System Files" folder. [06:22] i've gotten buffer errors from bad disks or cd/rw dvd/rw's that have not been properly erased.. [06:22] Anell, why would you need to move files there [06:22] Anell use sudo - only if you know what you're doing [06:22] Because I need to move I certification to etc/ssl/certs [06:22] ubutom: I'm pretty positive the upper cd drive (the one that isn't being recognized) is fully functional under any other OS [06:23] Anell, use sudo then [06:23] Anyone got an acer aspire one D250? After a crash in the touchpad driver on UNR I can't get the synaptics touch pad to work in UNR 10.4 or XP SP3 [06:23] What would the command be? [06:23] Anell sudo cp or gksu nautilus for gui [06:23] pcilatency: it isn't the disk; I'm trying to play DVD's, all of which return buffer i/o errors. [06:23] Okay, thanks [06:23] imaek, master/slave settings correct? pretty positive? You mean it worked in other oses? [06:23] It says something about 'not being able to synch the vfs' Can I fix that? [06:23] for some reason after a distro upgrade I can't boot with the default kernel [06:23] imek have you installed it's drivers? i had an old drive that needed it's own drivers and wasnt detectable..without them? [06:24] ubutom: I have no idea how to even go about checking that, regrettably. I have had it functional under XP in the past. [06:24] Though there was always issues. [06:25] what kinda drive is it? [06:25] maker /model? [06:25] imaek, the drives have a setting on the back, you can change it with a pin, there is also alsmost always a little picture describing how to set a drive in master /slave or cable select modes [06:26] some newer ones will auto select if the jumper thingy is removed...don't lose it [06:26] imaek, first drive is master, second has to be slave or cable select for example [06:26] imaek, you could also unplug the faulty one and see if the other is recognized then, I personally youldn't keep a malfunctioning drive in my box [06:27] ^^ it could cause all kinds of trouble [06:27] Would the command for copying content be just (the file) -- (the directory)? [06:27] ubutom: I'm going to try that. [06:28] Because when I use cp --help, I see to two Dashes and the message saying it copies content. [06:28] ugh well lets see if these settings conflict =c [06:28] imaek, some old ide cables also don't support the necessary bandwidth and won't work with two drives attached to them, but that'S just guessing now [06:29] That actually sounds quite reasonable. The secondary drive is a DVD burner which is not so important anymore. [06:29] imaek, or better said, they will work, but at slower speeds and with problems [06:29] yea the older less dense ones..what is it 40 some pins..and then the best one is 80 some wires/pins? [06:29] pcilatency, yeah [06:30] pcilatency, had to learn that firsthand when I tried to use some old cables in a new desktop ;) [06:30] I'm having a problem with Ubuntu where, after I log in, I cannot see anything but the desktop background. I can still run programs with Alt + F2, etc., but I don't see the taskbars or desktop icons. Any ideas? [06:30] that sicko was from indonessia [06:30] help guys [06:30] Hey, I think it's recognizing it, ubutom! [06:30] you can tell them apart easily..most mainstream manufacturers will use the 40 less dense and cheaper..it is well worth finding an 80 wire cable [06:30] imaek, what have you done? unplugged the second? [06:30] Anell: cp sourcepath destinationpath [06:31] imaek, try changing the setting of the second, maybe it'S jsut not correctly jumpered [06:31] okay, thanks [06:31] ubutom: It's now recognizing the first, but I'm still getting the buffer i/o errors.... [06:31] abhi_, help with what [06:31] I unplugged the second, yeah [06:31] pcilatency, at that time I had only old ones around and they kinda used the oldest parts they could find :( [06:32] I am not able to turn on the wifi on my Dell Studio laptop with the "fn+wifi key"... sometimes the wifi is turned on during booting.. [06:32] it works fine when it is turn on.. but now i m not able to turn it on using the multimedia keys. [06:32] while my volume and brightness keys are working fine.. any help [06:32] hmm === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [06:32] abhi_, does ifconfig show wlan0 ? [06:32] imaek, try another cd and see if it is the same [06:32] abhi_: sudo rfkill list [06:32] on many laptops the litghtwill glow read but it still works [06:33] It keeps saying permission denied [06:33] are they on the same cable? imaek.. have you another ide interface to try it out on while remainig bootable? [06:33] The DVD plays, ubutom! [06:33] no [06:33] ifconfig is not showing it [06:33] I don't get it, I am pretty much sure that I am the administrator. [06:33] anell sudo it [06:33] Can anyone help me? [06:33] Anell: prefix the command with sudo [06:33] pcilatency: I don't need to have both drives functioning, at least one. The first one is now working, which is all I need! [06:33] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [06:33] abhi_, is there a switch on the side to enable it? is this a dual boot? [06:33] Anell: users are never the administrator [06:34] well thats good [06:34] unless you want to copy a disk [06:34] Okay [06:34] yes.. this is a dual boot... there is switch but it is not working sometimes... [06:34] Anell: sudo cp sourcepath destinationpath [06:34] imaek, good :) now try setting the jumpers on the second drive, you probably have to remove it first [06:34] Okay, I did it! [06:34] abhi_: sudo rfkill list <-- are there any blocked? [06:34] t [06:35] Thanks allot! :D === goose_ is now known as goose [06:35] Tootoot222, no... it's output is blank [06:36] cool the new timings knocked off 2 ns ping and d/led files faster [06:36] abhi_, some of the dual boot situations the windows side will shut down the card unless otherwise specified; make sure it is not set to do so [06:36] hello! [06:36] hoi ylmfos [06:36] is there a way to set timetolive in ubuntu? [06:36] bazhang, then the h/w switch should turn it on ... i m not sure... [06:36] Can anyone please help me? [06:37] phil_: what seems to be the problem? [06:37] abhi_, you may also try sudo ifup wlan0 (or whatever the nic is) [06:37] !ask | phil_ [06:37] phil_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:37] are you all say English? [06:37] abhi_, yep, if there is a hw switch [06:37] I already asked the question. Here it is again: [06:37] I'm having a problem with Ubuntu where, after I log in, I cannot see anything but the desktop background. I can still run programs with Alt + F2, etc., but I don't see the taskbars or desktop icons. Any ideas? [06:37] ylmfos, yes [06:37] ylmfos: this channel is for english, there are sub-channels for other languages [06:37] ylmfos, what language did you need [06:38] phil_: do you have multiple monitors? [06:38] Tootoot222: No [06:38] bazhang, yes ,i have hardware switch... [06:38] ask the best way you know how... [06:38] heh bazhang I had an usb tv-stick that I didn't shut down properly with windows(pressed powerbutton 5 seconds to turn it off) and then it wouldn't work with ubuntu anymore until I booted up windows and shut it down properly ;D [06:38] or some sort of DVI/HDMI plug in [06:38] oh,thank you .I'm from China [06:38] bazhang, wlano is not working [06:38] ylmfos, in #ubuntu-cn then [06:38] phil was it fine before [06:38] Tootoot222: It was working before. I did an update just before that. Maybe that broke something. [06:38] ylmfos, /join #ubuntu-cn [06:38] how do I change permission of all files in a directory so that only I have read write and execute privalages [06:38] hiexpo: Yes [06:38] no body else, even root should be able to see [06:38] phil reset sesktop [06:38] abhi_, you need to set it to on then reboot with it that way [06:39] phil yes you may need to re-install your keybord drivers [06:39] ^desktop [06:39] TLoFP: chmod -R 7xx dir/ [06:39] where xx is whatever permissions you want for group and world [06:39] hiexpo: You'll have to be more specific. I don't know what you mean. [06:39] does 0 mean none? [06:39] pcilatency: Why? [06:39] TLoFP: yes [06:39] pcilatency: My keyboard works fine. [06:39] koolies [06:39] pcilatency, there are no keyboard drivers [06:39] ?? [06:39] someone tell phil the command to reset desktop please i can't remember it [06:40] i thought for sure multimedia keybords had a specific driver set.. [06:40] ok... i will check that... [06:40] hiexpo, the panels? [06:40] if i'm wrong i'm sorry [06:40] My panels are missing as well as my desktop icons. [06:40] bazhang, to reset desktop to original settings [06:40] bazhang, second problem I am facing is that... my brightness is set to maximum each time i boot to ubuntu... this is not happening on windows 7 [06:41] !resetpanels [06:41] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:41] abhi_, one problem at a time, okay? [06:41] gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [06:41] aww [06:41] thanks ^ phil_ [06:41] does 10.4 use ava:hi? [06:41] okay... let me check with reboot... [06:42] pcilatency, yep [06:42] what exactly would that do for an eth? [06:42] That command restored my panels, but my desktop icons are still missing. [06:42] phil_, using compiz or metacity [06:42] phil_, run nautilus? [06:43] Also, I'm not sure if they will stay. I was able to restore them myself by typing Ctrl + Alt + Backspace, but they disappear again when I restart my computer. [06:43] bazhang: No [06:43] abhi_nav: What do you mean? You want me to run it? [06:43] phil_, it was not a yes or no question [06:43] phil_, yes in terminal [06:43] phil_: is your /home on a seperate drive? [06:43] abhi_nav: It just gives me a File Browser, but my desktop icons don't appear. [06:43] greezmunkey: No [06:44] Also, I don't get a menu when I right-click the desktop. [06:44] phil_, ok. it worked for me when in was 9.10 [06:44] bbl ty all [06:44] it probally changed directories do to an up grade just make new ones for your desktop easy [06:44] whats secure copy command [06:44] phil_, compiz or metacity (choose one) [06:44] TLoFP: scp ? [06:44] sftp? [06:44] no work :( [06:45] bazhang: Are you saying that you're certain I am running one of those? [06:45] bazhang: Or that I ought to be? [06:45] phil_, do you wish to give more info, or should we guess [06:45] bazhang: I don't know what you want me to tell you. [06:45] Tootoot222: oh guess I must navigate to the dir first :P [06:45] bazhang: I came here for help. If I knew what else to tell you, I would. [06:46] phil_, you are using gnome? lxde? xfce4? kde4? [06:46] phil_: if you drag something from nautilus onto the desktop does it make an icon there? [06:46] hi abhi_ [06:46] bazhang: I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. [06:46] bazhang: i'm pretty sure gnome, as the gconf command worked [06:46] bazhang, i figure out the problem... if i am keeping the multimedia keys first then function key second then i m able to turn on and off the wifi.. [06:46] bazhang: It comes with gnome. [06:46] phil_, and you have compiz enabled? [06:47] abhi_nav, hi [06:47] abhi_, fixed? [06:47] Tootoot222: I can't drag anything to the deskto from the file browser. It just "flies" back when I try to drag something. [06:47] bazhang, right now i m able to use the wifi.. i this need to be fixed... [06:47] i think* [06:47] bazhang: ubuntu 10.04 defaults to compiz [06:48] bazhang: I don't believe so. I never explicitly installed it. The only way I have it is if it came with the base install, or it was an automatic update. [06:48] phil_, try alt-f2 then type metacity --replace [06:48] phil_: they've defaulted it now [06:48] bazhang: [06:48] bazhang, what do u think... [06:48] is there a way to dim the screen on my laptop further than the "sun" slider allows me to? [06:48] bazhang: So, compiz is installed by default? Why would I type anything to do with metacity if you just told me I had either compiz or metacity. [06:48] abhi_, is the wifi working now? [06:49] foolguy: without physically disabling the backlight, probably not [06:49] bazhang: I typed what you said and all my windows flash for a second, but that's it. Nothing changes after that. [06:49] that stinks, because when I ran windows it would go almost all the way to no backlight [06:49] phil_: you're running compiz if you didn't explicitly start metacity; we want you to start metacity to see if it's a compiz probem === eric is now known as Guest90680 [06:50] Tootoot222: I just typed what he said. [06:50] and... [06:50] By the way, I don't care about any of my config settings, so if there's something I can delete to get it to go back to default settings, I will do that. [06:52] bazhang, yes now it is working. [06:53] I guess you guys don't know what's wrong? Is there anything else I can tell you? [06:54] phil_: you could try adding a new user and login with that to see if its a config issue [06:54] sweetpi: Okay, I will do that. I'll come back after I try that. [06:55] how do I switch the ok/cancel buttons in dialog boxes ? [06:55] i want ok to be in the left.. like in windows [06:55] epure_, what version of ubuntu [06:55] 10.04 [06:56] epure_: i'm pretty sure that's an application spesfic setting [06:56] not something global [06:56] epure_, did you switch themes? [06:56] i cchanged the appearance and some colors, but i didn't install new themes [06:56] epure_, the default theme has them all on the left [06:56] I have a question specifically for this channel only. Yesterday or two days ago (I forgot) I was killed and as soon as I reconnected I was banned only from this channel. I couldn't get anyone to assist me in figuring out why. [06:57] I'll look into it [06:57] it was in response to a message I had posted here at 5:36pm. [06:57] mizerydearia, join #ubuntu-ops and we can discuss [06:57] ah, sure [06:57] bazhang: he's talking about dialouge boxes saying "blah blah press ok to continue\n Cancel | OK" i think [06:57] yes Tootoot222 [06:57] Tootoot222, ah well spotted [06:57] whats min permission I need to have someone acess a webpage [06:57] TLoFP: r [06:57] I.E. 2 [06:58] or wait, was write 2?

[07:04] TLoFP: what backend are you using? like apache/php, or lighttpd/php or what? [07:04] Hi. I seem to have had a filesystem problem, and a bunch of things on my / fs have ended up in lost+found. Is there a simple way to get apt to reinstall everything? [07:05] phuu, do not know, as I said this is the mail server of the department, I have not the slightest clue what they use, but I can ssh into it and find out if you tell me how [07:05] I tried to select 'reinstall' on all packages (using synaptic, since X still works) but get: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'bash' [07:06] whats a command line email reader [07:06] ? [07:06] for my account? [07:06] WebDawg: your account meaning your user? as in /var/mail mails? [07:06] Yeh. [07:06] used to be pine [07:06] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [07:06] you can just ``cat'' them, i suppose [07:06] Did I mention that when I press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace and log in again, the taskbar appears? However, each time I restart the computer and try to log in, it gives me a blank desktop again. No matter what I do, I can't get the desktop icons to show up though. [07:06] i have used mutt or cone. [07:06] i've never had an email sent to my box tbh [07:07] What is a valid replacement for pine? [07:07] what was the latest stable version of ubuntu again? it scrolled off my screen [07:07] psuasti: atm it's 10.04 [07:07] WebDawg: As I said, I've used mutt or cone. [07:07] thanks [07:07] Didnt epine exist at one point. [07:07] ? [07:07] * Viking667 shrugs. Never heard of that. [07:08] what is going wrong with me? i join /j #linux it takes me to ##linux and I joined /j #freenode it takes me to an empty channel. ghost? [07:08] abhi_nav: there's a reason for the ##linux name, but I can't remember what that is. [07:09] by the way, #freenode isn't empty [07:09] Viking667, but that channel #Linux was there some time ago [07:09] ##channels are just un-offical channels [07:09] has anyone used the cocoa front end for pure-ftpd? Im having a problem with it controlling the backend. [07:09] abhi_nav: probably was, but I haven't seen anythingmuch aside from a bounce to ##linux in #linux [07:09] Viking667, hmm [07:10] how long ago was "some time ago"? [07:10] I've been on Freenode for... sheesh, nearly ten years. [07:14] what's the difference between vim and vi? [07:15] an "m" ? [07:15] Vi originates back in the seventies, vim expands on vi heaps. [07:15] that's what I thought, but double checking, because yanking lines is problematic for me for some reason [07:15] yanking how many lines? [07:15] I'm trying just 1 [07:15] 3yy yanks three lines [07:15] but I keep getting 11 and/or 21 [07:15] ahh. yy yanks one line [07:15] ah, two y's [07:16] I was doing 1y [07:16] nup. [07:16] thanks Viking667 [07:16] 's okay. [07:16] :help [07:16] will help out heaps in vim. [07:16] will it say how many lines are yanked at the bottom? [07:16] not sure, unless you have the ruler turned on. [07:16] Might say in the status/command line. [07:16] mine says "x lines yanked" [07:16] when I yanked 11 lines and 21 lines it said [07:17] until you move the screen [07:17] but when I do yy it doesn't say anything [07:17] try 3yy [07:17] because you have no motion [07:17] ahhh. [07:17] i bet if you did 1yy it would say 1 line yanked [07:17] 3yy worked [07:17] no 1yy didn't say 1 line yanked [07:17] hmm you're right [07:17] 3yy says 3 lines yanked [07:17] Back again. I fixed the problem. This page had the solution: http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9371319 I do not know why it works. [07:17] 2yy doesn't either [07:17] but 3yy does [07:17] odd [07:17] lol [07:17] Tootoot222: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:18] * seidos opens up the source code for vim and fixes it [07:18] heh, not [07:18] the insides of vim must be nearly as weird as less. [07:18] yy does yank the line though, I just get no feedback [07:19] oh well, I'll just yank and paste then delete the line instead of yanking deleting and pasting [07:19] thanks Tootoot222 and Viking667 [07:19] Could someone possibly read the posts on the page I posted and explain why that solution works? [07:19] phil_: that is strange that that would work [07:20] Neat trick I like to tease gedit/nano/kate advocates with: grab seven lines, go down 15 lines, place six copies of those lines, then go to the end of the file, and add another two copies. all in less than thirty keystrokes. [07:20] 7yy15j6pG2p [07:20] and without the mouse! [07:20] that's .... eleven [07:20] Tootoot222: I believe it has something to do with nvidia software. I am using an nvidia driver and whatever software it used. I think it messed up my xorg.conf. [07:21] oh, and I don't have to hit the space bar, tab, Enter or LineFeed once. [07:21] Anyhow, thanks for all the effort! I'm going to bed. [07:21] lol, yw [07:21] Viking667, vim ftw [07:21] night [07:21] Samual: +1 [07:21] Viking667, this coming from a programmer :P [07:22] hi guys i was working on mercurial in ubuntu and i get this queer problem. on issuing an "hg" command within a cloned repo i get this ; http://paste.pocoo.org/show/230116/ [07:22] for the main repo it does not cause a problem [07:22] Tootoot222: change the case on the 3rd, and 4th copies... [07:22] er that was for Viking667 [07:23] lol [07:24] greezmunkey: THAT bit i don't know how to do... [07:24] Viking667: no matter! The other was pretty cool. I've never tried any of that before. [07:24] greezmunkey: i'm sure you could do something with tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' [07:25] no no. There's an internal function to do that, I'm sure. [07:25] but would require deep vim-fu [07:25] (i.e. read all the way through :help) [07:25] :) [07:25] lol, running !)tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' makes everything to the end of the file uppercase [07:26] At least emacs owns with its use of buffers. [07:26] Alright, now I'm tweaking vi...thanks [07:26] But for everything else, I think vim has it hands down, AND it does'nt try to be an OS. [07:26] Err, hang on. I have that around the wrong way. emacs is just an OS that tries to be an editor... [07:27] Yo yo yo [07:29] Wow, quiet? [07:29] i feared them off [07:29] Apparently so [07:30] in about an hour my vacation starts.. 7 days on the beach! [07:30] why do only a few youtube videos play on my firefox? [07:30] although..i may sleep the first day away. [07:30] Niiice, I'll be in bed dreaming about a beach [07:30] hella weird ... anyone else have this prob w the native install firefox on 10.04 lynx??

Hibernate [07:32] hi all. no java applets are loading in google chrome or firefox...... am i missing something ?

[07:54] arunkumar413: what did you include? cstdlib or stdlib.h? try cstdlib [07:54] arunkumar413, but judging by the name, qtbsch it leads me to belive its build on qt, which is a different window manager which ubuntu doesnt have. kubuntu does because kde is built on it [07:54] Question about apt-get... I have a scenario where package a recommends b and c, and b depends c [07:54] So I run... apt-get install a b... and I get "packages have unmet dependencies: b: Depends: c but it is not going to be installed" [07:54] Like it's complaining about the original instruction to install b (after a)... when at that stage b would be installed anyway [07:54] a931bw: it should only need the gspca driver [07:55] madurax86: stdlib.h [07:55] arunkumar413: try #include [07:55] madurax86: ok,just a min [07:55] Kiasanth, yea id give that a shot [07:55] FATAL: Module gspca not found.

Mixing Lenny with Ubuntu??? yeesh [08:09] arunkumar413, last question in the qt category lol, looks like you need qt3 for that program [08:09] -I/usr/include/qt3 [08:09] ShrekLappy: i have qt4 [08:09] ShrekLappy: how to check the version [08:10] it looks liek your command is calling for qt3 though, i dunno if that makes a difference [08:10] arunkumar413, i have no idea, know nothing about qt lol [08:10] arunkumar413: --version [08:10] arunkumar413: is there not a ppa with the app? [08:10] !ppa | arunkumar413 [08:10] arunkumar413: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [08:11] ActionParsnip: didt look for ppa because they are third party applications [08:12] murlidhar: i want to check the qt version [08:12] arunkumar413: ppas can contain ANY app the maintainer has compiled [08:12] madurax86, you really should read the compiling guide on wiki.ubuntu [08:12] arunkumar413: there's a PPA for chromium which is developed by google (3rd party) [08:13] madurax86, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo#Step 3: Resolving Dependencies. [08:13] Well, chromium-browser. Chromium is a game [08:13] airtonix: thanks [08:13] ActionParsnip: google can be trusted but others === Guest13705 is now known as Ybottu [08:13] ActionParsnip, just curiosity. if someone placed keylogger in some useful app and I installed that ap from ppa. then wll that keylogger wll be able sent info to its owner? or my ubuntu firewall wll identify it as virus and stop it? [08:14] madurax86, tl;dr version : install apt-file and us it to search for your files [08:14] arunkumar413: there's a wine ppa and a mozila ppa too. It will save you having to mess with all this compiling lark [08:14] abhi_nav: Ubuntu's firewall doesn't filter outgoing traffic by default, so no, it wouldn't stop it [08:14] abhi_nav: not sure [08:14] rww , ActionParsnip then is there any way I can protect my self frm such threats? [08:15] abhi_nav: don't download programs from random websites [08:15] airtonix: gee thats easy :P [08:15] abhi_nav: stick to the official repos only [08:15] abhi_nav, that requires a firewall that operates at layer 7 of the OSI model... there isn't such a thing in the ubuntu repos yet [08:15] rww, no no not random. I am talking about launchpad [08:15] ActionParsnip, ok I wll [08:15] abhi_nav: Launchpad PPAs are not in any way official or necessarily trustworthy. [08:15] airtonix, can i configure it manually? [08:15] ActionParsnip: i dont like wine becoz some windows viruses can run on wine [08:15] rww, hmm ok [08:16] abhi_nav: could also run scans for stuff every now and again. Depends on how many tinfoil hats you have [08:16] arunkumar413, what you are trying to do? [08:16] abhi_nav, maybe but then you'd still need to make it work with a virus scanner that also looks for sensitive data... and i think clamscand only scans files for viruses being opened via network [08:16] arunkumar413, I doubt any windows virus can actually "run" on linux though ... and I dont recall hearing of any that atually have broken through [08:16] arunkumar413: true but you can simply delete the wine config folder. I only used it as an example. Its not to be taken as anything absolute [08:17] ActionParsnip, means? I dont understand [08:17] !tinfoilhat [08:17] airtonix, snort? ossec? [08:17] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [08:17] coz_ if windows app can run wine.windows virus can also run on wine [08:17] abhi_nav: go sling tinfoil hat into wikipedia [08:17] abhi_nav, they are not programs that will scan for transmission of your passwords and act on such events [08:17] ActionParsnip, ok [08:18] airtonix, ohh I see [08:18] arunkumar413, at this point i will take your word for it but until I read about an incident of it occuring I will hold off on believing it :) [08:18] transmission got my interwebs shut down because it didn't encrypt the data I was downloading and showtime got pissed off [08:19] arunkumar413: wine wont damage ur linux installation [08:19] arunkumar413: just dont run any windows program as root [08:19] madurax86: that'd be really dumb [08:20] ActionParsnip: :P [08:20] madurax86,yes, i knew,but the windows virus may run on wine and damage the windows programs [08:20] may be in the future windows viruses will include some part for wine users too [08:20] lol [08:21] madurax86: mind you some idiots log in as root for their dailies so it does happen [08:21] ActionParsnip, I read. [08:21] are there any major hacks with irc servers [08:21] arunkumar413, stilll that is very unlikely since they will also call on dll files not installed on linux [08:22] arunkumar413: you can always install those windows programs again, anyway your system will boot up and run as normal [08:22] pehden, get your vectors elsewhere [08:22] madurax86: and they always say "I know what I'm doing" makes me laugh [08:22] Peheden: its also offtopic here [08:22] airtonix: i have a server runing irc i just wondering if there are to prevent them [08:22] ActionParsnip: eventhough those kinda people exist i dont like if the developers try to make linux fool proof [08:22] pehden, keep it up to date ? [08:23] hi guys how con i compile a source code that like tuxmath to make it run on windows. i what to edit it to make my on game to be pass to my teacher... pls help me. i am a ubuntu 10.04 user. === jasonruiz is now known as xOrphenochx [08:23] airtonix: are there any major ones that are known [08:23] anthony__, you would have to port the code over to c++ most likely then compile it onto windows [08:23] does anyone know how i can change the bootup screen resolution on Kubuntu? [08:23] anthony__, rather c# [08:23] anthony__, since you didn't mention what programming language i'll assume you're trying to use python [08:24] airtonix: i used to hear about them but was like yea right [08:24] Anthony__: it'll take a fair bit of porting over. Is there not one already? [08:24] pehden, to be honest, i --- don't --- care [08:24] im using c/c++ [08:24] !ot | pehden [08:24] pehden: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:25] anthony__: install gcc/g++ for windows (mingw32) [08:25] anthony__, most likely a complete rewrite to run on windows unless there is already a port [08:25] anthony__, it's a good thing to mention this in your initial request for help instead of playing guess which cup the bean is under [08:25] !lol | pehden [08:25] pehden, please see my private message [08:25] what is a port [08:25] i need one clarification regarding the package development. How do people under stand about the package just by reading the source code [08:25] thats funny [08:25] anthony__: you could use a forwarded x server and give him/her a limited account on your system :) [08:26] anthony__, porting would be the rewriting of the code to a different language << simplified [08:26] anthony__: what you are trying to do is called software porting [08:26] * airtonix releases rabid baboons [08:26] !test | pehden [08:26] pehden, please see my private message [08:26] my Ubuntu freezes like a MoFo.... and i have to press the reset button on my case [08:26] !msgthebot > pehden [08:26] how can i do the porting... [08:26] anthony__, the best channel ..offhand.. would be #programming see if they have a suggestion for you [08:27] ok i'll try [08:27] Flomaster: when does it freeze? did u install any kernel modules? [08:27] anthony__: do you mean this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxmath/files/ [08:27] IdleOne: thanks [08:28] madurax86: no kernel mods it freezes when ever it wants. I think its due to old hardware though [08:28] IdleOne: now i just need to figure how to add one to my irc server on the ubuntu server [08:28] anthony__: if you meant tux of math then its already ported [08:29] Flomaster: if you have less than 512mb RAM try a slimmer distro [08:29] madurax86: ubuntu + lxde will fly on 512mb dude [08:29] Flowmaster: whats the cpu on it? [08:29] I have 2 512 sticks of ram [08:30] anthony__, you mean this? http://www.desertskypress.com/tuxmath.html [08:30] pehden: athlon Xp3000 cpu on Asus a7n8x Deluxe mobo [08:30] Flomaster: 1gb ram is enough to run gnome. If you run lxde or fluxbox you will free up ram as the desktops are lighter [08:30] YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I finally got my ralink chipset to use the newly compiled RT3070sta drivers ( missing in the ubuntu 10.04 kernel) to WORK I GET 135 MBps BIT RATE on my WIFI.. i am ACTUALLY USING N wireless SPEEDS :) HAHAHAHA any1 needs help LET ME KNOW :) [08:31] Flowmaster: have you checked S.M.A.R.T on your hdd [08:31] geez. Lucky you... [08:31] ActionParsnip: this is my HTPC only used for downloading Newsgroups , xchat, interwebing, and XBMC [08:31] pehden: I think smart said I was legit [08:32] what is the best shutdown command? [08:32] Flomaster: its definitely some driver module [08:32] hm. "shutdown -h now" ? [08:32] how to download the MONO compiler [08:32] depends on if you want it's rebooted or not. [08:32] arunkumar413: what distro? Debian? Redhat? Suse? [08:32] ... Ubuntu? [08:32] how does everyone feel about Lucid? [08:32] is it a solid release for LTS? [08:32] arunkumar413: the next is to go read the distro's docs [08:33] nobarking, I dont use it [08:33] Viking667: ubuntu 10.4 [08:33] nobarking: I'm using it, and I have one or two issues. [08:33] nuff said [08:33] coz_: what do you use? [08:33] on Lucid - I didnt likes as much as 9.04 or 9.10 [08:33] nobarking, on this machine I use karmic on the other maverick [08:34] nice [08:34] nobarking, however ...unless the bugs in lucid are fixed on maverick I may skip two versions of ubuntu :) [08:34] i think maverick will be a smoother release [08:35] i might move to Linux Mint though [08:35] arunkumar413: it seems to compile here [08:35] it looks really good [08:35] ActionParsnip: yes [08:35] madurax86: may be [08:37] Viking667: lucky me? [08:38] yep [08:38] lpcuy you [08:38] err, lucky you. [08:38] wow .off-by-one on dvorak sure gets interesting [08:38] Viking667: are you using an N adapter with ralink chipset? [08:38] no? [08:39] Viking667: oh what chipset do you have? [08:39] The only two wireless devices I have around here are both optical mice with batteries. [08:39] That give you an ide? [08:39] err, idea? [08:39] hahahha [08:39] thought that'd make you laugh [08:39] Viking667: you need to step up with technology no1 uses ethernet :D [08:40] atiBULLSHittooo. [08:40] !language | Viking667 [08:40] Viking667: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:41] yup yup. [08:41] IdleOne: yeah im back and i got it fixed. i was frustrated the other day and didnt mean to say ubuntu sucks... well it did untill i fixed the N network on it [08:41] Sorry dude, but I use ethernet. I won't recommend WPA2 unless someone can prove it's rock solid [08:42] hey, i've got an acer aspire one that I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on. I'm having trouble getting my wireless card to work. ifconfig is only showing me eth0. [08:42] Viking667: unless your working with an intelligence agency, and you have super secret files then no wireless is not good. but other than that i dont see why not wifi? [08:42] Viking667, it is proved the opposite ~ can be cracked in 10 min ;p [08:42] hey how can i replace give text in more than one file [08:43] when I do lspci it says my network controller is broadcom corporation bcm4312, if that helps [08:44] you need to install the driver [08:44] how can i search inside text files? [08:44] wildbat_laptop: then I'm not using WPA2 [08:44] twik: go to hardware drivers ( in the menu) and reload it .. and install the broadcom driver :S [08:44] twik: you need to be on ethernet [08:44] !broadcom | twik [08:44] twik: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:44] madurax86, using gedit it has a search option available [08:44] Ethernet's not as easy to crack, cos you've got to be in the circuit [08:44] coz_ thanks [08:45] twik: install the drivers... Not the STA ( they work horribly ) [08:45] raj, okay [08:45] * twik searches for an ethernet cable... [08:45] Twik :) retart after that [08:46] sheesh. [08:46] twik restart [08:46] raj: I have a suggestion for making your computer more secure... [08:46] okay, thanks for your help :) [08:46] Never plug cables into it. Don't power it up. Don't use hard drives, USB drives or SSDs... [08:46] test , can you see what i say? [08:46] Keep your data all in your memory [08:47] Viking667: I use an encrypted network .. ( i have an option ) so its more than secure. at least to me [08:47] heh. [08:47] Twik no problem. glad i was helpful [08:48] arunkumar413: dude this code has serious problems that are not OS dependent !! the coding standard is not good i had to patch about 10 files so far :S [08:48] Hi everybody [08:48] I've a problem with accented java fonts [08:48] Viking667: i have a PIN between my router and my computer on top of the normal WPA2 encryption. [08:48] guys how can i cross build tuxmath to make it run on windowsguys how can i cross build tuxmath to make it run on windows [08:49] Viking667: called WPS [08:50] madurax86: seems the author had made some changes, try the qt-bsch3v the web page says that it is tested on Knoppix 3.8.1 on HDD + Qt 4.0.1 [08:50] arunkumar413: did u compile it ? [08:50] anyone know how i can get this? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lsyncd/ i cant get apt-get to find it... pretty sure ive covered every possible combo of lines in sources.list [08:50] Viking667: so you can use WPA2 and WPS. and you dont have to be netphobic [08:50] madurax86: no [08:50] arunkumar413: did u try? [08:50] but I don't have wireless. [08:51] shouldnt this line make that package available? deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe multiverse [08:51] :) [08:51] madurax86: no [08:51] arunkumar413: try n see :P [08:51] madurax86: my net connection is very slow to download [08:52] Do all flavours of linux have a /proc/pid/mem ? [08:52] arunkumar413: oh well i compiled the one u gave to me :P [08:52] madurax86: did u get any success [08:52] arunkumar413: yup [08:53] arunkumar413: i manually patched the cpp files it works! [08:53] madurax86: plz tell me how to do it [08:53] arunkumar413: i can send u the 3.6mb executable [08:53] ok [08:53] statim, notice how your first link to the file doesn't mention anything about a distro version? [08:54] arunkumar413: well you have to resolve the errors by editing the source code [08:54] statim, ie : how do you know it's for lucid and not karmic or one of the other previous versions (or even for maverick) [08:54] airtonix: ah, yes. so its no longer available in lucid then? i will try to just dpkg it if thats ok? [08:54] madurax86: what verison of ubuntu,qt u have used [08:54] arunkumar413: lucid, qt4 dont worry it'll run [08:55] madurax86: same as mine [08:55] how well does kde run on ubuntu [08:55] arunkumar413: wait i'll upload [08:55] madurax86: how do u send me [08:55] bawn: Well. [08:56] how do i configure it to use kde during startup [08:56] yay [08:56] thanks a lot raj, it works :) [08:56] twik :) [08:57] bawn, by choosing it at the login screen ? [08:57] in auto login [08:57] bawn, why so auto ? [08:58] arunkumar413: its uploading [08:58] cuz i can start it go to another room and come back to a running computer ready to go [08:58] madurax86: ok,r u uploading it to launchpad [08:59] arunkumar413: noo im uploading it to some upload site its only the executable [08:59] arunkumar413: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ladco3 [08:59] arunkumar413: put the executable in qtbsch folder [08:59] how do i configure it to use kde during startup for auto login [08:59] bawn, its the 21st century... i use suspend to ram [08:59] madurax86: how can i be sure that i doesnt contain any virus [09:00] lol [09:00] arunkumar413: lol get it or leave it [09:00] :P [09:00] bawn, hav you installed kde to begin with? [09:00] madurax86: ok,am downloading it [09:00] no, but i used to use kubuntu [09:00] arunkumar413: ok [09:01] bawn, in older versions of ubuntu kdm had to be configured as default display manager [09:01] bawn, so did i... on another computer [09:01] madurax86: i also need the source code [09:01] arunkumar413: wait [09:01] ubottu, no it does not. [09:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:01] im in lucid [09:01] * airtonix rages [09:01] bawn, you'll have to install kde to use it [09:01] i know [09:02] what do i do to make it default [09:02] hey i will install vmware server in my ubuntu 10.4 and he ask me about the lib folder [09:02] default is: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/build/include] [09:02] it can?t be correct then i become an error when it will compile [09:02] http://pastebin.com/wEC20Dhf [09:03] How to i reinstall the software centre package ? [09:03] *sigh* [09:03] mattl94, go to system administration synaptic [09:04] how do i make kde default [09:04] bawn, may be incorrect, but I think sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop should install kde, further configuration should happen after installing it, you may be get asked if you want to set kdm as default display manager [09:04] hopefully [09:05] i have done this with gnome on kubuntu [09:05] it aint that easy [09:05] Mind you, I have a weird system... I have kdm but the rest of my setup is gnome [09:05] i screwed up on the defaults [09:05] ugh. [09:05] Viking667: its not that weird :P i have gdm and xfce :P [09:06] i luv the new boot times in lucid [09:06] huh? Why's THAT weird? [09:06] madurax86: sorry, that was to you. [09:06] lol [09:07] Viking667: because theres xdm [09:07] how do i make kde default === ian__ is now known as iflema [09:09] ugh. [09:09] xdm isn't ... pretty. [09:09] It's merely functional.

I have Ubuntu server 10.04 i believe. I need to boot it on a system with no video card (blade pc) any ideas on what I can do to get this to happen? What I need to change?

[09:25] matkix: It should just boot up, regardless. If it's not booting, perhaps you could temporarily install a video card and connect a monitor to see what is happening. [09:25] madurax86: what are the changes that u have made to the code [09:25] WHAT??? [09:25] It boots fine with a monitor [09:25] speak up... [09:25] er video card [09:26] anyhow, I'm out of here... [09:26] has anyone used EHCP before? [09:26] how do i make kde default [09:26] Just when its gone it won't boot. One of the other sys admins had to edit something in cent to get it to boot that way. I just wonder what I have to change in ubuntu...

[10:38] It is working great now. Thank you very much. [10:38] airtonix: sorry, that wasn't for you [10:38] ackt1c: what ? [10:38] ya i know that but i want to learn [10:38] All thumbs up for Linux. lol [10:38] LinuxManDan: you're welcome [10:39] Prabs: ok - then coming into a channel and asking someone to guide you is not learning, you've been given a URL that will introduce you to it [10:39] ikonia, are their 64 bit flash alternatives? [10:39] LinuxManDan, do you remember removing that window-list ? [10:39] Prabs: keep in mind though it won't be supported [10:39] No I don't.

[10:42] what do u mean not supported [10:42] i cant get u [10:43] ikonia, what i mean't is are their 3rd party flash alternatives for 64 bit? [10:43] LinuxFanDan, but since you're obviously not heard of that before it might be a bit esoteric for you to understand what every thing represents there. [10:43] jelly_eyed_jim: no, there are not [10:43] ok [10:43] Prabs: custom kernel building is not supported by the #ubuntu channel [10:44] can u plz where i can get that service [10:44] Prabs: no idea, [10:46] Is it possible to send a process the SIGSTOP signal, move it to another computer and resume it by running SIGCONT ?

[10:53] ring0: what do you mean ? [10:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjV-_PBrEhY [10:53] oCean, how about if its a video file which is in iso format?? [10:54] Maniek_M: why did you post that [10:54] ikonia, if i had two equal sticks with the same uuid, would the system think they are the same? [10:54] oCean, how can i play it [10:54] ring0: they wouldn't have the same uuid [10:54] ikonia, i could give them the same [10:54] ring0: you don't assign uuid's [10:54] ikonia, with tune2fs [10:55] ring0: you don't give it a uuid with tune2fs [10:55] is there a limit to how many directories can /home/ have?

Guess you remember me [10:57] *forgot [10:58] ikonia, my question is simply if the system uses anything else but the uuid to identify an usb-stick [10:58] ring0: it depends what you're doing [10:58] $sudo mount /path/to/iso/file /mnt/virtual-disc -o loop [10:59] ring0: Most utilities use UUIDs, some use /dev/disk/by-id/, others use a combination of things. [11:00] ikonia, atm i'm booting from an usb-stick and i wanted to create a backup-stick, in case the first one breaks. therefore i need an identical stick, which i could use to boot too, since i figure it's mounted via /etc/fstab and uuid [11:00] bump, where can I find the drivers of conexant fusion 878a tv card ?

[11:16] That is a technical issue am I right? [11:17] Hiya, newbie HDMI question... I'm trying to connect HDMI cable from my graphics card to a digital amp (and then amp to TV), but nvidia drivers in ubuntu don't see the amp as a device, so no video or audio are received... is there anything i can do to get nvidia to send picture/audio to the amp? Thanks. [11:17] Adem: you have a theoretical question on linux/gnu/kernels That's not a technical ubuntu issue, am I right? [11:17] matt____: is the hdmi port on the nvidia card ? [11:17] sorry, and no need to mock. [11:18] oCean_: atop now shows the 'SWP' line no longer in red color. Rather, it shows 'tot=5.7G'. Can you tell me if the error error arose because the Ubuntu installer could not handle 5.7G properly? [11:18] ikonia: the hdmi port is on the graphics card, yes [11:18] matt____: then it's very doubtful it will support audio down it [11:19] bullgard: I have no idea what your "error" or original issue was. It seemed to me you tried to add or replace a swapdevice. You previous error occurred because the original swapdevice no longer existed. Use "swapon -s" to show your current swap configuration [11:19] ikonia: I'm pretty sure it does send the audio down it - but from what I can see, the problem so far is that it doesn't even send video... [11:19] matt____: not sure how it can send audio down it as the graphics card won't be aware of sound on the board [11:20] Hi, I have strange problem with Rhythmbox. When i start visualization it stops playing ( no sound). I turn off ( visualization) sound appears. What could cous it? [11:20] matt____: hdmi in general is a bit flakey in linux in general, what I'd suggest is remove the amp from the signal chain and try PC -> TV as a first stop [11:21] ikonia: ah yeah... that's half my problem - the tv isn't digital so the amp is sort of necessary in this process, unfortunately. would you say that's my problem? [11:22] matt____: it's say that is strong possability, I use a laptop -> hdmi -> amp -> tv without issue, however the TV is digital and signal chain is just pass through [11:23] ikonia, if i use the label as identifier, do i put LABEL=new_label or LABEL="new_label" like blkid shows in its output? [11:23] oCean_: '~$ sudo swapon -s' now shows a satisfactory swap configuration. The reason that i tried to replace a swap device was that atop showed the "SWP" line in red. So I wonder why the Ubuntu installer did not install /etc/fstab properly. [11:23] ring0: prety much yes [11:23] ikonia: oh right, that's very interesting that the signal chain passes through the amp. must be that hdmi, being digital, doesn't see the analog tv as a device at the end of the signal chain. many thanks for your help! [11:24] matt____: I'm not %100 certain that's fact, but that was my understanding of it [11:24] bullgard: aha, ok. Sorry, can't tell what went wrong initially...

[13:08] leonpegg: i have try talk over gtalk,pidgin did not very well [13:08] is there a reason to put 1mb unpartitioned free space in front of partitions? [13:08] No because I thought the Buntu releases are supposed to work well with large scale products like ati - i WILL CHECK NOW. [13:09] What is the advantage if i have a separate /boot partition ? [13:09] Lalitha, home folders on separate parition, you viz ? [13:10] wzssyqa: you could try amsn like anodesni suggested I have never used it but from what i can see it supports video [13:10] Lalitha, obvious it would i think. [13:10] Lalitha: if your root partition has an issue you can still boot, it used to be handy for multi-distro boots, [13:10] airtonix, I have home on sep partition. [13:10] ikonia, Thanks. [13:10] Lalitha, re-installs easier . now they are [13:10] is there anyone one to help me? [13:10] Lalitha: the multi-distro advantage has been dropped with ubuntu's use of grub2 [13:10] Lalitha: if you what use fs not support by kernel as /,then you need /boot sep [13:11] wzssyqa: /boot will make no difference to that [13:11] ikonia, "dropped" = ? .. [13:12] hi i have so many php files in my linux system....i want to search a particular function in those php files....please tell me the command for that...................... [13:12] Lalitha: no longer a benifit [13:12] LinuxIsPain, I don't think everyone needs 3D acceleration. Anyway the open source radeon driver provides 3D acceleration. [13:12] abhinav_singh: grep [13:12] abhinav_singh: are all that php files in the same folder tree ? [13:12] ikonia, so it makes no difference if i have boot under root or sep partition ? [13:14] ikonia grep function name? [13:14] Lalitha: not as much as it used to [13:14] ikonia: if i want to use btrfs as / which is not support by grub2 on lucid ,then i can use a ext3 as /boot [13:14] abhinav_singh: grep $function * [13:14] ikonia, Thanks. [13:14] wzssyqa: I see what you're saying [13:14] does 'passwd -d' essentially disable an account? or does it allow people too login without a password/SSH key/ [13:14] hello === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [13:14] steffan: the later ... [13:14] steffan: disable it, passwd -l will lock it for use without keys [13:14] wzssyqa: btrfs still experimental ... [13:14] is there an option in rhythmbox so it wont pause anymore when i add songs to my playlist, moreover it should stop to move in the foreground [13:14] erUSUL: i know ,just an example [13:14] ikonia my function name is challenge please tell me the command now/..................... [13:14] abhinav_singh: grep challange * [13:14] is there an option in rhythmbox so it wont pause anymore when i add songs to my playlist, moreover it should stop to move in the foreground *shameless self bump* [13:14] ikonia: reading the manpage entry on -d confused me. so using that allows anyone to login without a password and without a SSH key? [13:14] abhinav_singh: or grep challange *.php [13:14] Does anyone here work with Linux in an enterprise environment? [13:14] is it possible to interface a new keyboard to the ubuntu.Will all the applications take the input from such a keyboard instead of the regurlar one [13:14] when using 7z, is it possible to set the compression rate, like in gzip you can set -1 to -9?

[13:15] ikonia, ok [13:15] Psycho_Mario: use lzma or xz [13:15] LinuxIsPain: err, ok [13:16] abhinav_singh: or for more complex search, when php files are not all in one directory, use something like "locate .php | xargs grep -i challenge" [13:16] ikonia: so it is similar too -l, right? [13:16] Anyone know the default power management scheme when installing ubuntu server 10.04 on a laptop (connected to AC)? Is there any "shutting down power-saving" enabled by default? I have a machine which i used to be able to ssh to the first day it was up, but now its pretty much "dead" [13:16] steffan: -l just locks the shadow password, you can still use keys with that [13:16] ikonia: cheers [13:17] oCean oh thanks bro [13:17] kleopatra, i know this is not the answer. You can try other music players like xnoise, for example. I read it in a blog. [13:17] oCean_ oh thanks bro [13:17] anyone running ubuntu 10.04 on a 256 ram machine ? does it work?

[13:19] lui: a tar.gz is like a zip file; how to turn that into a deb depends on what is inside [13:19] erUSUL, it seems i can either specifiy compression, or specify file sizes, not both. I will have to go with 7z, thanks [13:19] lui: if you mean a tar.gz of source code, the easiest way would be to compile it and use checkinstall [13:19] I just started using linux last night I have no clue whatsoever ^^ [13:19] lui: what are you trying to install ?

Is there any "shutting down power-saving" enabled by default? [13:29] hi, i have a software raid5 on my ubuntu with ext4, and i want to grow it.. how can i do this? [13:29] mgj, that's right. But if I specify like a mouse and its physical addres like /dev/input/by-path/pci-XXXXXXXXXXX, X server will ignore the line and will accept commands from any mouse connected on the system [13:29] im looking for good howto pages [13:30] tanaka, hmm, interesting. It's honestly been a while since i had to deal with manually configuring X so im not sure what your problem is =/ [13:31] mgj, On ubuntu 8.04 this setting worked fine [13:31] tanaka, if you are currently allowed to use input devices you do not want to be used..... could you perhaps blacklist them instead? Dunno [13:31] how do I log in as root? [13:31] lui, you dont. You use "sudo" [13:31] lui, sudo bash [13:32] tanaka, telling newbies how to get a root shell might not be the best idea =) [13:32] mgj, I'm using the computer for multiseat [13:32] sudo is better [13:32] tanaka, lol didn't think about this point [13:32] so I just type "sudo command"?

I'm sorry, but im not comfortable enough with the xorg configuration file to know why your setup worked in 8.04 but not in 10.04 =/ [13:36] Hi all. Anyone here has experience of compiling Firefox? Is the hassle of going through PGO worth the time? [13:36] mgj, lol that's fine. thx for the shot. [13:37] honestly i think the last time i edited my X configuration file was back when it was still called Xfree86Config. I can only begin to imagine how much has changed... [13:37] i don't touch it anymore. haven't for two years. [13:38] mgj, lol you are a lucky guy [13:38] mgj, video cards allways make me edit the xorg.conf [13:38] tanaka, you're using the wrong video cards then [13:39] tanaka, with nvidia and intel video cards i usually dont have many problems. But then again, my setup is faily simple. 1 mouse, screen keyboard. [13:39] fairly [13:39] airtonix, lol its cause I do not usual things with them like have a triple display system. [13:40] mgj, Im using nvidia here [13:40] need help regarding usb_modeswitch.. http://pastebin.com/71E05HSs [13:40] the wiki is great, thanks for the hint [13:40] tanaka, i can do triple display just fine with my nvidia ion and the ppa drivers [13:41] tanaka, actually i think i remember doing it with the default nvidia drivers [13:41] my ati driver is calling for glibc 2.2 or 2.3 and I see I am running 2.11.1 - can I assume this is backwards compliant? [13:41] tanaka, i actually thought nvidia added a tool to their driver, to deal with multiple displays? I remember having to setup just 2 displays once, what a pain in the a**. [13:41] how do i start an X session without gnome or kde, just the bare bones x stuff? [13:42] tanaka, have you tried to use the proper nvidia drivers and its gui config ? [13:42] ironfroggy, you need some form of window manager === neutrino is now known as tar- [13:42] ironfroggy, X doesn'y don't provide windowing on its own [13:42] ironfroggy, but there are several bare-bones windowing options [13:42] ironfroggy, you can try out fluxbox or xfce if you are looking for something more lightweight than gnome/kde [13:43] but there is a basic one x has isnt there? i remmeber using it long long ago [13:43] hi guys [13:44] airtonix, yeah, that's a good tool [13:44] ironfroggy: theres dozens of window managers out there. it depends on your needs [13:44] only thing i disctinctly remember is a big black X cursor [13:44] Can anyone here help me with getting updated drivers for my video card in 10.04? [13:44] ironfroggy: or lxde (lubuntu-desktop) [13:44] i just first use xubuntu [13:44] tanaka, its what i use to get mulitple displays [13:44] ironfroggy: the gdm menu has a 'xterm' optiion./ that starts X with just a xterm. no window manager [13:44] hey all, some questions to a acer 1420p touchscreen. Someone here to help me get it working? [13:44] my ati driver is calling for glibc 2.2 or 2.3 and I see I am running 2.11.1 - can I assume this is backwards compliant? [13:44] i know there has to be a default. ive used it in the past. [13:45] airtonix, how do you get triple display with an ION platform? [13:45] ironfroggy: it all depends on the disrto. if you mean the OLD OLD OLD 'twm' thats not installed by default last i checked [13:45] airtonix, isn't ION target to notebooks? [13:45] LinusIsPain: How did you get an ati driver? I tried rooting around on AMD/ATI's website, and got a scripting file that seems to do nothing :( [13:45] tanaka, i have the netbooks screen, a vga output and a hdmi output [13:45] tanaka, yes i have a hp mini 311 [13:46] Alana - I carefully searched under all their categories - I had an integrated card and found a driver [13:46] Alanatiir: they are in the repos avail by the hardware-ddrivers menu item. For many cards [13:46] Dr_Willis: i think thats it, yes. I'm just trying to start X with the bare minimum to figure out what is crashing when i log in [13:46] Hi. I want to get rid of that flash clicking problem on a 10.04 32bit system. I changed the flash plugin and use the official Adobe plugin. Still I have this annoying(!!!) flash click problem. Cannot give access to webcam for example. What to do? [13:46] if your sure you had the card selected and did not see a driver it must not be there [13:46] airtonix, cool. But does it support 3 displays (non-clone) simultaneously? [13:46] tanaka, yes. [13:46] airtonix, that's very cool [13:46] ironfroggy: use the xterm option in gdm. or make a .xinitrc or .xsession that just starts a xterm. or install some light window manager like icewm/fluxbox/flwm, or any of a dozen+ others. [13:47] airtonix, now I ask myself why nvidia cards still can't do that [13:47] Dr_Willis: How do you access that section of the repos? I looked in there as well, found a "fglrx" driver, but it doesn't do anything to my laptop. No visible changes, and no increased access to MMO-style games like Regnum Online. [13:47] airtonix, I mean, desktop video cards [13:47] Alanatiir: it all depends on your exact chipset to a great degree.. ati has dropped support for a lot of their older (and not so old) chipsets [13:47] Alanatiir: system -> admin -> hardware drivers [13:49] I can't copy a dvd to my hardrive [13:49] Dr_Willis: Nothing is listed in that area. And when I do a sudo lshw to check my stats in that manner, I get told the integrated graphics card is: "Radeon X1200 Series" [13:50] Alanatiir: I dont use ati any more. so suggest checking the forums for that exact chipset. [13:50] alana: there is a pdf file that explains things the driver needs before you load it - I am dealing with that same issue now - [13:50] also- do we need to reboot after loading the driver [13:50] have there been any known problems with nvidia cards in 10.04? [13:50] kato: dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvdfile.iso bs=2048 should make a image of it. :) [13:50] as in, locking up machines completely when X starts? [13:50] how to remove old kernels? [13:50] ironfroggy, there was/is an issue with plymouth and nvidia hardware drivers [13:50] LinuxIsPain: And that PDF was my first read on the subject, and it didn't make much sense to me. As for rebooting, I've rebooted after every single thing I've done, drivers-wise. [13:51] raven: fire up synaptic, search/remove. [13:51] raven: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17787/clean-up-the-new-ubuntu-grub2-boot-menu/ [13:51] hardware is not always related to linux OSes its the kernel handle the job correct me if i'm wrong [13:51] wise_crypt, linux is the kernel. [13:52] ALana ok - sounds like we both have the same issue which must be a #1 issue [13:52] but still hard to resolve this [13:52] linux is not an oS just a kernel [13:52] No sense in running linux if we cant get the video card to work right [13:52] All I need is to install a simple driver...I had it done in 10 minutes in Hardy, but since I moved to Lucid and changed to a more modern laptop....nothing. :( [13:52] *OS [13:52] airtonix: plymouth? [13:52] wise_crypt, yes that is now the correct phrase you should repeat... do it five times. [13:53] Alanatiir, are u using 10.04? [13:53] tanaka: Yes. 10.04 LTS [13:53] Alanatiir: its possible its ati that dropped support for the card. [13:53] Alanatiir, whats the card? [13:53] Dr_Willis: But then fglrx should work, but it does not. [13:53] ironfroggy, the start up screen you see when turning your machine on... (it shows the two iconic pictures of a person and a keyboard in circles at the bottom of a purple screen) [13:53] airtonix: oh, that part works fine [13:53] tanaka: It's an integrated gfx: Radeon X1200 Series, according to lshw. [13:53] hello guys. I tried to install java media framework and after install gives me following error: http://pastebin.ca/1889772. How can I fix this? [13:53] Hello! I have a problem with my VGA connection on my laptop. I found that the solution is to disable the KMS. Does anyone know how to do that? [13:53] my kernel version is candela and it still have bug with intell video card [13:53] Alanatiir: err.. No.. if ati removed support in the fglrx driver.. it shouldent work. [13:54] Alanatiir, have you tried the open source radeon driver? It gives 3d acceleration. [13:54] tanaka: How can I try something that I do not know even exists? *laughs* Care to tell me where to obtain it? [13:55] Alanatiir: ati has been removeing support for a lot of cards from the fglrx drivers, the Open sourced radeon/ati driver has been getting worked on to support the cards.. [13:55] how can i update the firefox on ubuntu 10.04? [13:55] Alanatiir: its possible you allready are using the Open sourced driver.. [13:55] FallenAngel1, investigate the use of PPA [13:55] xmm [13:55] Alanatiir, you will need to edit your xorg.conf [13:56] Tanaka: WHat isf I do not have that file? [13:56] if [13:56] Dr_Willis, thanks, neat answer. [13:56] LinuxIsPain, You can run Xorg -configure (with sudo) [13:56] tanaka: I've been using Ubuntu for -maybe- a few months now. Can you be more specific, so I don't end up having to clear off my root partition and do yet ANOTHER install of 10.04? [13:56] will try now-thanks [13:57] airtonix: problem i have now is that when i go to login, desktop starts to load then everything flickrs and the login manager comes back up. if i try a second time, it locks up. [13:57] Fatal server error: [13:57] Server is already active for display 0 - this is what I get [13:57] Anyone knows witch is the best nvidia driver for vdpau? [13:58] airtonix: hear of anything like that? [13:58] seems to say I have Xorg but I cannot seem to find a config file [13:58] airtonix: i have to use a ppa to update it? [13:58] matteo1990: i saw where the latest (not in the repos) version has some updates to that area. but None of my cards support it. :) [13:58] ironfroggy, no. [13:58] FallenAngel1, yes. [13:58] ok [13:58] thnx [13:59] LinuxIsPain, create a new xorg.conf inside the folder /etc/X11 with this contents: http://pastebin.com/NSbAUV2F [13:59] will try now [13:59] LinuxIsPain, If you cant get X start after doing that [13:59] LinuxIsPain, just remove the xorg.conf file created [13:59] LinuxIsPain, or rename it [14:00] I am hust right cliking and creatg a basic blank text file right [14:00] From what i am googling ATI dropped support for the X1200 about a year+ ago --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1471599 Ubuntu 10.4 and ATI X1200 [14:00] there is no need to use xorg.conf at first... [14:01] ssngir, lol if you know how to solve this without using the xorg.conf, please tell me. Is it related to hal? [14:01] r0ckst4r!!# [14:01] hello [14:02] LinuxIsPain: the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file May or may not exist. X auto-configures for the most part these days [14:02] Tanaka: Bear with me - how do I create that file [14:02] does Ubuntu work on the i3 on chip graphics? [14:02] someone have a radeon with integrated driver? [14:02] Dr: Ok well I loaded a driver from the site - should it just work without a reboot? [14:02] LinuxIsPain: what was your video card? [14:02] Tanaka, ALT+F2, gnome-terminal, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:02] !anyone | Azarius [14:02] Azarius: 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? [14:02] (and have trooble with 3D) [14:02] ok ubottu [14:02] sorry [14:03] Tanaka: Command not found [14:03] !xorg | LinuxIsPain [14:03] LinuxIsPain: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[14:04] I'm getting an error "Failed to load module "glx"" but i havent included glx in my xorg.conf, so why is it trying to load it? [14:05] ati radeon xpress 200m [14:05] it's the first time i have this problem [14:05] lol god is this the ATI problem day? [14:05] tanaka: makes me glad i dumped ati 2 yrs ago [14:05] maybe [14:05] why? [14:05] hi, guys [14:06] i cannot login [14:06] Azarius: you are the 4th+ person to have ati issues in the last hr. :) [14:06] ATI needs to either support their hardware, or needs to open-source the older drivers for us. [14:06] tanaka: no everyday is xorg wireless day always hardware problem day lol [14:06] wow! in the last hr [14:06] after i login, it keeps loading [14:06] Dr_Willis, I really like ATI. And I have an ATI IGP. But it's very recent so I can install fglrx without problems. [14:06] Takeasy: clarify what that means... [14:06] i can only see the wallpaper [14:07] Takeasy: so the desktop 'partially' loads, no panel, no icons, no nothing? no startup sound? [14:07] Freaking npviewer not allowing hulu to work right [14:07] Dr_Willis, and you have found the origine of problem at all of the 4 persons? [14:07] Azarius: the common thread seems to be 'buying ati' :) === mike is now known as RadeonIssue [14:07] Dr_Willis: right [14:07] tanaka: may be ubuntu has to make another channel named it ubuntu-hardware ;) [14:07] how come the ubuntu official website recommends using the 32bit version and discourages the 64bit version for daily desktop usage? [14:07] lol [14:07] Azarius: and ati dropping support for their hardware from the fglrx drivers [14:07] I am back - this is LinuxIsPain - it retsrated my X and now its worse than ever - I still have no propreitary drives showing up [14:07] wise_crypt, looool [14:08] do you think that i must change my video driver Dr_Willis ? [14:08] niteye: that gets asked about once a week. :) short answer. the site is old, and a little 'paranoid [14:08] ah okay [14:08] niteye: that gets asked about once a week. :) short answer. the site is old, and a little 'paranoid' in its suggestions.. Short answer.. USE 64bit if you can,. [14:08] Azarius: in theory the thing should default to the Open sourced driver automatically. [14:08] wise_crypt, loooool === cwe_moetz is now known as cwe_leo [14:08] wise_crypt, lol the "best" part is that I'm here because xorg.conf too [14:09] niteye: theres been bug reports filed to get that info changed. :) [14:09] i don't understand Dr_Willis sorry i don't speak english so good [14:09] Azarius: system should use the Open sourced ati driver If the card is not supported by the Closed source FGLRX driver. [14:09] quote from Dr_Willis message to me few weeks ago " configuring xorg is pain " [14:10] RadeonIssue, you won't have proprietary drivers running [14:10] Lets go backwards: For the ultra COMMON Dell Optiplex 320 with a Radeon X200 integreated video card, what build or driver will make XUbuntu wok like a normal windows PC? [14:10] is it a pain to change to closed driver? Dr_Willis [14:10] wise_crypt: :) it can be. but compared to how it was say.. 5+ yrs ago.. now a days.. its much easier. [14:10] Dr_Willis: lol [14:10] Azarius: thats the core of the issue. The closed sourced drivers only support SOME cards. [14:10] test [14:10] RadeonIssue, if you don't need 3d acceleration. Vesa probably you work [14:11] Azarius: so what was your ati video card? [14:11] Tanaka how can I test if the card is supported - it seems to run choppy [14:11] Dr_Willis, ati radeon Xpress 200m [14:11] And if we need 3d acceleration? [14:11] RadeonIssue, supported by what? [14:11] Azarius: that is so old.. i doubt if its in the fglrx driver.. does the system work at all? just slow? what exactly? [14:11] i fixed my issue, but can someone tell me why i need the nvidia-current package when I'm using the vesa drivers? [14:11] Azarius sounds like we are running the same or very close - how do you get it workng [14:11] Hi! I have an xbox connected to the PC via a crossover cable. I want it to be able to connect to the internet from my computer. Bridge the internet connection if you will. How do I do that? [14:11] ah i also have driver issues with my ATI, using the vesa driver i can't achieve my monitor's native resolution, with the ATI propriatery driver draggign windows is very slow and nospecial effects work [14:11] !ics | civixier [14:11] civixier: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [14:12] Dr_Willis: Thanks! [14:12] Dr_Willis, my system work at all, 0 problem since 4 years i installed ubuntu [14:12] it's the first time [14:12] Alanatiir, if you need 3D you will 1) Use a older version of X to use an older version of fglrx OR 2) use the open source driver [14:12] Azarius: it has worked 'ok' in 10.04 and just today started having problems? or worked OK in older versions of ubuntu? and under 10.04 has issues..? [14:13] RadeonIssue : i don't have make any change to the system for my video card [14:13] Is XBUNTU really better on slow hardware than say LINT? [14:13] RadeonIssue: whats LINT? [14:13] MINT [14:13] hahah lint [14:13] has anyone had the issue with a broadcom network card that on the first install they can connect to the internet,(wireless) but on the second boot they cannot see networks anymore? this also happened with linux mint [14:13] RadeonIssue: Mint uses 'gnome' last i checked.. [14:13] specifically [14:13] the first install they can connect to the internet,(wireless) but on the second boot they cann [14:13] wait === cwe_moetz is now known as cwe_tomboy [14:13] lol lspci [14:13] Dr_Willis, i have trooble since i play to "ennemy territory" when i load it, it crash and telle this error [14:13] tell* [14:14] RadeonIssue: xubuntu is luighter then gnome, lubuntu is lighter then xubuntu, [14:14] Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [14:14] Alanatiir, you can download the 10.6 drivers from ati.com, just follow the script, it's easy (don't make package, just use the script) [14:14] Azarius: so the Only issue is that one game? or other games also? [14:14] I am just trying to run this Radeon right - I dont care what distro - [14:15] it not crashing at each time with this error, on 10 launch, i have 4 or 5 errors [14:15] so has anyone had my issue? i find it highly unusua; [14:15] unusual* [14:15] what is wrong same [14:15] Sam [14:15] i have this problem with all games which use 3D [14:15] (like tuxkart) [14:15] Azarius, is it crashing only with enemy territory? [14:15] negative [14:15] Azarius, oh ko [14:15] has anyone had the issue with a broadcom network card that on the first install they can connect to the internet,(wireless) but on the second boot they cannot see networks anymore? this also happened with linux mint [14:16] is it safe to say lInux on the desktop is seriously handicapped [14:16] @ FLJohn [14:16] not really, i run arch on my dektop [14:16] it is much harder to use than ubuntu [14:16] but nice and lightweight [14:16] I have never run a linux distro without some major issue [14:16] on any machine [14:16] RadeonIssue, you and Azarius just didn't get lucky because your driver isnt being anymore supported by ati [14:16] but maybe I did not have 2 weeks to search forusm and chat rooms? [14:17] I can not watch hulu anymore [14:17] why FLJohn? [14:17] RadeonIssue: i can say the same thing about windows.. actually i can say the same thing with about every pc/computer ive owned in the last 30+ yrs. :) [14:17] RadeonIssue, with a supported videocard you should have everything working with 2 clicks [14:17] i thought his was working [14:17] having problems with Flash [14:17] oh [14:17] RadeonIssue, it is safe to say that 3rd party linux support is seriously handicapped [14:17] new version of chrome comes built in with flash [14:17] sam_, i have a broadcom net controller, and i don't have any problem with it [14:17] agree [14:17] since i installed ubuntu [14:17] really? [14:17] really [14:18] but that does indeed make the desktop handicapped- [14:18] my model is Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [14:18] @sam I am absolutely fed up with things working then not working with this system. [14:18] trust me, its worse on arch [14:18] howdy [14:18] ubuntu is nice [14:18] No variables change but out of no where things do not work [14:18] without starting a war - if I look at and use Windows 7 vs even Ubuntu - there is just no comparing sped and reliabilty [14:18] Ubuntu > windows 7 [14:18] sam_, goto system > administration > and search for : peripherics driver [14:18] Windows 7 is light years head [14:18] Ubuntu >> windows 7 [14:19] I like ubuntu but there seems to be quirky crap with it. [14:19] you will see "broadcom STA...." [14:19] RadeonIssue, LOL "your funny" [14:19] wish it was not that way - wish this would work [14:19] active it [14:19] RadeonIssue, lets get back on topic [14:19] Dr_Willis, so i have no way to resolve my problem? [14:19] How do I either get the open source drives for my integrated ATI Radeon card, or a workable closed source driver that will permit me to play MMOs? [14:19] azarius, i accidentally disconnected [14:19] Zyko - Win works - on all my machines - every year I load different Linux versions and the end result is always the same - wasted time [14:19] what did you say? [14:19] sam_, goto system > administration > and search for : peripherics driver [14:19] you will see "broadcom STA...." [14:20] active it [14:20] the open source ati drivers are already installed [14:20] RadeonIssue, "if windows is your answer, you didn't understand the question" ;) [14:20] Azarius: The card is not supported by the fglrx drivers.. so 3d performace will not be that great.. of course the x200m never was a very powerfull 3d card. [14:20] it support your card sam_ [14:20] RadeonIssue, what are you doing here then, wasting more time (and also our time)? [14:20] lol i tried this, but alright [14:20] i will try again [14:20] and im on 64 bit, just sayin [14:20] i dont recommend installing ATI drivers [14:20] Dr_Willis, performance of my card isn't very important. I just want it works at well [14:21] its already activated....thats funny [14:21] they always give me a ton of problems withbasic functions [14:21] without this fu***** error [14:21] Azarius, watch the languae [14:21] i say : **** [14:21] :( [14:21] sorry [14:21] i think the open source driver worked alright when i try livecd on any one [14:22] Azarius, obfuscated swearing is still swearing [14:22] but now its just..GONE [14:22] yes sorry [14:22] ano: trying again to understand why people are dealing with this. Trying to "get it". [14:22] how to change the DNS severs of my google chrome [14:23] do you have avticate it sam_ ? [14:23] nope [14:23] it was activated [14:23] (you'll see a red circle) [14:23] hi, is there a way to make dhcp bind to the right adapter? i have two adapters and it is listening on the wrong one. [14:23] but my open source one disappeared after i activated this one [14:23] RadeonIssue, it's a conspiracy ! [14:23] arunkumar413: you just change your DNS in general [14:23] Dr_Willis, what can i do? desactivate some option in the game? which? [14:23] ChogyDan: i want open dns [14:23] Seriously, the L desktop seems to be so much trouble. I agree that Linux servers seem to have a hold on the world, but it must be due to hardware complainace - perhaps the desktop will just never make it [14:23] !ot | RadeonIssue [14:23] ChogyDan,what is the opn dns address [14:23] RadeonIssue: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:24] ok [14:24] Azarius: no idea. thats an old game.. on an old card.. [14:24] okay Dr_Willis thanks you [14:24] hey doc, u know anything on my issue? [14:24] arunkumar413: you should look at the opendns website, they have directions [14:25] use the proprietary driver sam_ [14:25] i did [14:25] that why its not working [14:25] and when i install opensource [14:25] or try to, it says its not suppored on 64 bit [14:25] have you tested with ndiswrapper? [14:25] err...i think [14:26] arunkumar413, or google dns, primary 8.8.8.8, secondary 8.8.4.4 [14:26] i needed to give it the windows drievr right? [14:26] and run it in ndis? [14:26] ChogyDan: i cant find any dns option in network tools [14:26] sam_, you tell with open source and proprietary (develloped by ubuntu programmers) driver is'nt working [14:26] so try to install ndis [14:27] eww [14:27] it comes with ubuntu [14:27] but aight [14:27] i don't understand your problem, i have the same card, and no problem with integrated driver [14:27] Azarius, do you know if your card is a R300/R400 or R500 card? [14:27] are you sure that you have follow the right instruction to use it? [14:27] hi, i download and install a library with make install. how could i unistall it now? [14:27] i look tanka wait please [14:27] arunkumar413: https://store.opendns.com/setup/operatingsystem/ubuntu [14:27] arunkumar413, , normally those settings would be set in your router , instead of auto-dns choose manual then enter the numbers [14:28] you just compile the driver. its not hard [14:28] i will found it in lspci tanaka ? [14:28] you have ot have kernel headers installed and base-devel tools [14:28] Azarius, maybe. Give it a try [14:28] Azarius, lspci | grep VGA [14:28] then you run some commands to create adriver and then insert it to boot at startup [14:28] i see "ATI technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] tanaka [14:28] olvap: depends. Sometimes you can make uninstall from the source directory [14:29] wait, so to install a tarball, once i extract i do ./configure [14:29] mak [14:29] make [14:29] and then make install [14:29] sam_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:38] ChogyDan: i am using wvdial to connect to net. How to change the DNS [14:39] arunkumar413: I dunno, have you tried searching the net for a guide? [14:39] |BL4CK-V1RUZ|, that's not supported here. Please stop [14:39] this might be out of the scope of this channel but, I have ubuntu running in virtualbox on my windows 7 machine... and I want to be able to access localhost from my ubuntu instance [14:39] ChogyDan: ya [14:39] Azarius, I really cant answer your question cause have never used it. But looking at the link that I have sent you, looks like you will just need to install some packages from synaptic so, looks like it will be easy yes if you need to uninstall. [14:39] d2dchat, define localhost [14:39] I tried typing in the ip address I found in ifconfig -a inside of my ubuntu box which is 10.0.2.15 [14:39] hi, i need to control input and output of netcat in my bash script, i tried "`func1` | nc | `funct2`", but i don't know how to send more than one request, is there other ways? i asked at #bash, but i didn't get answer [14:39] and that didn't work [14:40] all right tanaka, thanks you a lot [14:40] airtonix, when I type localhost on my ubuntu instance into a browser.. it hits apache on port 80 [14:40] Azarius, np [14:40] really, thanks [14:40] d2dchat, apache running on the guest system you mean ? [14:40] yes === OerHeks is now known as Oer [14:40] i test with gallium and send you a report [14:40] :) [14:40] d2dchat, and you expected it to hit port 80 on your host system ? [14:40] Azarius, ok good lucky [14:41] ideally I'd like to be able to hit any port [14:41] yes, thks :) [14:41] hmm [14:41] so if I did 10.0.2.15:8000 [14:41] chromium isnt launching [14:41] it would route likewise [14:41] hello guys i've installed speed dreams but it doesnt start how can i find out if ineed to install any driver card thanks [14:41] wonder wh [14:41] d2dchat, because that ip you just mentioned is the ip of your guest system as seen from inside the virtualised lan ... not your host system. [14:41] arunkumar413: did you try this page? http://chanux.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/static-dns-with-wvdial/ [14:41] airtonix, ah I see, how do I find outside? ipconfig in windows? [14:41] d2dchat, the ip of the virtual router that separates your host and the guest lan is 10.0.2.2 [14:42] airtonix, I tried 10.0.2.2 as wel and that didn't do anything either :( [14:42] d2dchat, yes that would be one way... but windows does not show the vbox device in network places right ? [14:42] magicianlord: epiphany works for me too, epiphany 2.30.2 with webkit 1.2.1-1 [14:42] lol guys i feel like an idiot, all i had to do was un install some open source drivers and re install these [14:42] i <3 readme [14:42] airtonix, I see something called VirtualBox Host-Only Network === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [14:43] airtonix, under network connections.. does that count? [14:43] d2dchat, you need to set your guest system to use NAT [14:43] magicianlord: check terminal output for useful errors [14:43] VCoolio: but is this from a cafe for example, or you just tried https. it needs to be a site that requires logon to get net access in the first place [14:43] hello [14:43] d2dchat, so 1) power it off (don't perform a snapshot) 2) edit the settings of the network device 3) change it to NAT [14:43] When I click devices -> Network adapters... within the virtualbox program [14:43] magicianlord: I just tried a site with https and login, not for net access [14:44] it says adapter 1 [14:44] attached to NAT [14:44] ok VCoolio, might be different [14:44] airtonix, is that not the same? [14:44] how to mount bsd partition in ubuntu [14:44] d2dchat, ok. when you power it up. is it able to ping google.com ? [14:44] yes [14:44] I didn't shut it down, it's been able to surf the web fine [14:45] d2dchat, cehck the firewall settings you might have running on the host system [14:45] airtonix, I was just going to ask that [14:45] @ anodesni : thx for your help > i just reboot the pc after havig fixed swapiness > seems to be ok for the moment (lets see in 2 days without reboot ;) ) [14:46] airtonix, have any experience with COMODO ? :) [14:46] d2dchat, i would also use nmap from the guest and scan the 10.0.2.2 [14:46] d2dchat, yes it's ok [14:46] d2dchat, i forget the exact procedure to open ports though [14:46] airtonix, never used nmap, what do I do? Also, how do I know if COMODO is blocking 10.0.2.2? [14:46] Are there any decent overclock tools available for Linux? My BIOS is locked, so I'm looking for something that can set my fsb [14:46] d2dchat, in your guest : sudo apt-get install nmap zenmap [14:46] d2dchat: use the zenmap GUI [14:47] d2dchat, report back when you have zenmap open and ready to fire [14:47] bye all [14:47] hello [14:47] droes: no that i know of. [14:48] bummer, thanks anyway erusul [14:48] airtonix, hmm says I'm trying to run zenmap as a non-root user... is that a problem? [14:48] I assume you can't do this through CLI either? [14:48] Is there a command line unzip tool that has an auto-rename option if a file with the given name already exists? Can't seem to do that with unzip [14:48] d2dchat, 1) alt + f2 2) type : gksudo zenmap [14:48] d2dchat, or gksudo zenmap from a terminal window [14:48] airtonix, there we go :) [14:49] 群里有中国人没？ [14:49] !cn | willson [14:49] willson: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:49] if the password on the only sudoers user is accidently disabled. how can it be re-enabled if nobody else has access too sudo? [14:49] d2dchat, ok 1) top left text field you put : 10.0.2.2 2) top right field select intensive scan [14:49] d2dchat, then hit scan [14:50] airtonix, https://gist.github.com/bf0ac2fbc0007bb1cc03 [14:51] d2dchat, ok so in firefox on the guest what happens when you visit : http://10.0.2.2:80 [14:51] Are there any decent overclock tools available for Linux? My BIOS is locked, so I'm looking for something that can set my fsb. [14:51] airtonix, using chrome, is that an issue? :) [14:52] d2dchat, i wouldn't think so [14:52] airtonix, says oops! This link appears to be broken [14:52] ok - I edited "/etc/default/grub" and then ran "sudo update-grub" but my /boot/grub/grub.cfg isn't being changed at all... why is that? [14:52] d2dchat, (i also assume you have a correctly configured apache server running on your host ? ) [14:52] airtonix, yes, when I visit localhost, it hits my application [14:52] hello guys anyone there ? [14:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/597931 -- do you know anything about this bug? how can it be resolved [14:52] ? [14:52] we're here, money [14:52] *:80 is what it's set to recognize [14:52] d2dchat, same when you visit 10.0.2.2 from host ? [14:53] I've been having some problem with HD Video playback [14:53] irenicus09, only 1400 of us [14:53] ;) [14:53] airtonix, yes, even with port omitted, it still doesn't bring up 10.0.2.2 [14:53] How do I log off a user from the command line? [14:53] stercor: run « exit » ? [14:53] Without using a password. [14:53] openbox --exit [14:53] d2dchat, i think i remember reading about port forwarding requires the use of a vbox cli tool [14:53] without password, you have to eit the sudoers file [14:53] How do I re-generate a new /boot/grub/grub.cfg, taking settings from /etc/default/grub ?? thanks [14:54] d2dchat, although im not sure its necessary [14:54] aurilliance: sudo update-grub [14:54] anyone can help advice me on how to fix choppy HD video playback? [14:54] erUSUL, that's not working for me - it isn't generated at all [14:54] erUSUL, although it says it worked...

[14:54] d2dchat, seems to be missing information [14:55] erUSUL: too error prone. [14:55] airtonix, it was an intense scan without any extras [14:55] erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/Lix1iwSv thanks [14:55] Something like a "kick off" command. [14:55] airtonix, there is an intense scan option with all TCP ports [14:55] Hey all, I tried updating flash through synaptic, it froze up halfway through, wouldn't re-open. I restarted mt comp, tried synaptic, said I had to run a dpkg--configure-a , I did, now terminal is stuck on it. How can I clear this up? [14:55] airtonix, and an intense scan + UDP [14:55] d2dchat, it's been a really long time since i've bothered to use windows as a vbox host [14:55] airtonix, o crap [14:56] holdddd on [14:56] aurilliance: you have both grub1 and grub2 installed.... « sudo update-grub2 » [14:56] anyone knows the command to start playing a film with mplayer with vdpau? [14:56] d2dchat, yeah one of the extras it does is tests the port for reply data... on a http server port it would elicit a http server response [14:56] airtonix, https://gist.github.com/bf0ac2fbc0007bb1cc03 [14:56] aurilliance: if you really use grub2 i recomend to remove grub1 [14:56] jay_, did you use 'sudo' ?? > sudo dpkg --configure -a [14:56] Does anyone know why the Gnome power manager ignores the setting to shutdown the computer when the battery is low, but this works in xfce? [14:56] erUSUL, I didn't even know I had both :S Ill try grub2 then [14:57] aurilliance: sudo update-grub2 should work... but to make sudo update-grub == sudo update-grub2 remove grub1 [14:57] NEED HELP: Choppy HD Video playback :( [14:57] airtonix, did the extra stuff help? [14:57] d2dchat, ok so from your guest system open a file browser and press ctrl + l [14:57] erUSUL, sudo: update-grub2: command not found ? [14:58] hmmm, got an error in term, now synaptic is running [14:58] d2dchat, then in the text field type : smb://10.0.2.2 [14:58] aurilliance: :/ weird setup you have there ... what are you using grub2 or grub1 ? [14:58] airtonix, Could not display "smb:///10.0.2.2". [14:58] d2dchat, ok. [14:58] airtonix, Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server [14:58] Please select another viewer and try again. [14:58] hey guys, need some help with the install of songbird? [14:58] erUSUL, how can I check? I don't know ;/ [14:58] erUSUL, thanks for the help mate - appreciate it [14:58] d2dchat, check you only have two / not three [14:59] airtonix, two which? [14:59] two slashes. you reported just now to me you had three [14:59] There wouldn't happen to be an easy way to switch ubuntu to 'tiny metered internet' usage? Like a switch to turn off all services which use lots of internet? [14:59] irenicus09: mplayer is small. [14:59] aurilliance: what version of ubuntu do you have? fresh install or upgraded ? [14:59] airtonix, ah good call [14:59] stercor: ya I know, playback choppy in vlc, mplayer, smplayer, etc -.- [14:59] anyone knows the command to start playing a film with mplayer with vdpau? [15:00] airtonix, password required for 10.0.2.2 [15:00] d2dchat, i assume it should work because on line 104 of your last gist shows that it can communicate with services on your host [15:00] matteo1990: mplayer -vo vdpau file.avi [15:00] irenicus09: then I'm out of ideas... :( [15:00] username: lance [15:00] domain: WORKGROUP [15:00] stercor: choppy as in video skips & hangs for a few sec but audio playback is smooth [15:00] airtonix, which password is it? [15:00] erUSUL, a 9.04 *netbook edition* upgraded to 10.04 netbook and then hacked back to desktop revision [15:00] guest ? [15:00] or host? [15:00] erUSUL, so yes, a weird setup [15:00] d2dchat, its the password you use to loginto windows i think [15:01] airtonix, should I have it remember? [15:01] d2dchat, not for now [15:01] Where is my personal startup file? I don't want evolution to start. [15:01] aurilliance: so you probably are using grub1 ... why is that you have /etc/default/grub ? [15:01] airtonix, ok I see ADMIN$ C$ and Users [15:02] anyone knows how to check whether you're running closed/open sourced version of NVIDIA driver? [15:02] erUSUL, I was editing /etc/default/grub to try and make my touchscreen work as per a forum post by someone (it already existed though) [15:02] d2dchat, it doesn't really matter though, because that fact that its asking for authentication means that your guest can communicate with server processes on your host. so there is something up with your apache config on your host [15:02] erUSUL, If i use this command i get 50% CPu usage, using smplayer(with vdpau checked) i stay around the 5% i thought this wasn't the correct command [15:02] d2dchat, i would check that your apache config is set to listen to all interfaces and not just the real network card on your machine [15:03] matteo1990: see what mplayer said in the console maybe it couldn't initializate vdapu and fall back to plain x11 [15:03] btw, I didn't have any video playback issues on Sebayon linux for some weird reason [15:03] does anyone know a program to simulate loudspeakers on ubuntu? [15:03] d2dchat, i'm not familiar with the variation of apache you might be using on windows but default of apache server in ubuntu is that it listens for http requests on port 80 from any interface [15:04] I'm only using apache under ubuntu [15:04] aurilliance: dunno if you want to use grub2 make sure you have grub-pc installed. if you want to continue using grub1 then modify /boot/grub/menu.lst and not /etc/default/grub [15:04] d2dchat, well. there. i thought you had apache running on windows too. [15:04] nope [15:04] d2dchat, which leads me to ask : what is the problem you are having if it isn't that you can't connect to your host ? [15:04] airtonix, that is blasphemy ;) [15:05] airtonix, I want to access my virtualbox's apache from windows [15:05] any idea why I am getting intermittent response from 10.04 when I copy files from one drive to another? [15:05] ah [15:05] my Xchat is always crashing down as soon as i open more than 1 channel...can anybody help? [15:05] anyone want to venture any guesses that I can work on [15:05] erUSUL, thanks for the help - looks like I'd better sort out my grub setup before I go any further (or try restarting :S) [15:05] erUSUL, This one seems to work, what is -vc? mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau path/to/file [15:06] I have a toshiba A10 with an intel graphics chipset and am getting a black screen of death upon bootup of a freshly updated Ubuntu10.04. I've tried searching for solutions, but the only ones I find are ones that require a CD and reinstall. My CD drive died some time ago. Any other solutions? [15:06] cloversg: define "intermittent response" [15:06] do you recommend epiphany or firefox?? [15:06] cloversg: a network drive? [15:06] matteo1990: dunno. man mplayer ? [15:06] d2dchat, it should work. let me ask this question i asked before : from windows in a browser what happens when you visit http://10.0.2.2 [15:06] erUSUL, stops responding for 1-2 secs screens turn dark [15:07] switch10_ Nope 2 SATA drives using XLS [15:07] matteo1990: right. you need -vc option. see for options: mplayer -vc help | grep vdpau [15:07] airtonix, it hangs for a bit in chrome and then says Oops! Google Chrome cannot connect to 10.0.2.2 [15:07] q: how can I check what version of grub I am using (ie, grub1 or grub2?). grub-install -v reports "grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)" [15:07] I have a similar setup using 8.04 and it does not happen, 8.04 (x86), 10.04 (amd64) [15:07] cloversg: are you using mv, cp, rsync, drag and drop?? [15:07] d2dchat, ok i do indeed think you need to do port forwarding with vbox cli tools on windows (since it just a router configuration that is getting in the wy) [15:07] lui, what do you mean simulate loudspeakers? [15:07] switch10_ Drag and drop via Nautilus [15:08] btw can't see anything heavy using top [15:08] LjL: he wanted to install http://gspeakers.sourceforge.net/ <<< [15:08] a program that gives you the frequency response of a loudspeaker using thiele&small parameters [15:08] also using hexcore AMD. when more than 1 process using drives start, it slows down transfers [15:09] d2dchat, im not sure how relevant the information here is but this is the general thing to do (from your host ) http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=111 [15:09] any ideas where I should be looking at? [15:09] erUSUL yeah, I couldn't get it working though.. "make" resulted in an error [15:09] erUSUL: oh. weird stuff [15:10] q: how can I check what version of grub I am using (ie, grub1 or grub2?). grub-install -v reports "grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)" [15:10] ^ is that "legacy grub?" [15:10] d2dchat, http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/12/17/configure-port-forwarding-to-a-virtualbox-guest-os/ [15:10] cloversg: something in dmesg ? or in the logs ? /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog ? [15:10] d2dchat, i think that last link is more relevant [15:10] aurilliance: 0.97 ~ grub1 [15:10] nothing in the logs erUSUL , thought It might be lookaheads, but nothing like that [15:11] lui: you installed he required libs / programs ? [15:11] what is the keyboard shortcut in Gnome to minimize all windows? [15:11] * aurilliance reinstalls grub :/ [15:11] airtonix, thx! I will read [15:11] cloversg: only happens with nautilus? cp or rsync or other methods of moving copying did not fail ? [15:12] d2dchat, just remember virtualbox has changed a bit since two years ago so it might actually be alot simplier than explained in those pages [15:12] erUSUL: yes I think so, ./configure seemed to work fine, but this is what I got when I tried make: /bin/bash: ../depcomp: No such file or directory [15:12] :/ [15:12] not on cp. didn't try rsync yet. Only happens when transfering from one drive to another [15:13] d2dchat, http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tech-tip-port-forwarding-virtualbox-vboxmanage [15:13] cloversg: it does not freeze via cp? [15:13] cloversg: well there is not much info to figure out what may be wrong ... [15:13] switch10 let me try that again [15:14] d2dchat, it seems that you need to make your apache server listen on a port higher than 1024 so that you can port forward without crashing the guest on startup (port forwarding ports below 1024 without root access will crash the guest) [15:14] cloversg: is it one file in particular? [15:14] Does someone knows how to force X server to not ignore "Device" tags (ie: Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse5") [15:14] cloversg: if so, try renaming it. [15:15] airtonix, do I need to shutdown the guest OS to access CLI? [15:15] q: My grub setup is possible quite warped (2 versions simultaneously installed). How can I completely remove grub from my system? "sudo apt-get purge grub-common grub-pc"? thanks [15:15] im Russian [15:15] Ok, I managed to get my Toshiba A10 to boot into Rescue Mode and then Low Graphics mode. Now, is there a proper fix available for the Intel Graphics chips black screen problem? [15:15] Jaker, #ubuntu-ru ? [15:15] hi to all. [15:15] switch10, nope not one file , transferring files all day but files are large approx 200Mb~500Mb [15:15] coolstacy, hi [15:15] d2dchat, i think so , yes. [15:16] any tool to make a movie. [15:16] used not to have any problems, however, if I start a 2nd transfer it slows considerably [15:16] d2dchat, although i wouldn't really know. [15:16] aurilliance:hi [15:16] coolstacy, http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/ [15:16] #ubuntu-ru disconect [15:16] airtonix, ;) We're creeping out of scope hehe [15:16] aurilliance: thanks,looking after it. [15:17] switch10- Nope do problems with cp, looks like it might be Nautilus [15:17] sorry do== no [15:17] q: My grub setup is possible quite warped (2 versions simultaneously installed). How can I completely remove grub from my system? "sudo apt-get purge grub-common grub-pc"? thanks [15:17] cloversg: yes, using the gui to move files is not the best option. you will move more, faster with the command line. [15:17] aurilliance: do you have grub-pc installed to begin with ? [15:18] Switch10 agreed but, most convenient with drag and drop sometimes [15:18] erUSUL, lol, not anymore :P [15:18] I'm just going to install grub-2 from scratch and reboot, fingers crossed... [15:19] aurilliance: installing that package will let you migrate to using grub2 [15:19] ok [15:19] cloversg: have you tried midnight commander [15:19] ? [15:19] erUSUL, installing now [15:20] d2dchat, good luck [15:20] switch10_, yes, but not very comfortable with MC, nautilus is more intuitive. Have no problems on the older machine [15:21] this intermittent-ness comes and goes even when unzipping files like now, didn't have any earlier problems [15:21] erUSUL, looks like grub-pc fixed my issues! Thanks for your support! [15:21] aurilliance: no problem [15:21] cloversg, have you tried with pcmanfm or thunar ? [15:21] cloversg: lloks like maybe your hard disk is having issues.. but if that's the case then something should appear in dmesg [15:22] cloversg: i/o errors of some kind [15:22] erUSUL, I thought so, so did a XFS_check, but not having any bad results [15:22] erUSUL, would palimpset help diagnose that ? [15:22] Hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu-server (recent, 32-bit) in virtualbox on linuxmint, but when i select english and "install ubuntu server" it goes to a black screen and a terminal style cursor in the top left and does nothing more... i dont think that is normal... any ideas? [15:22] !variants | MikeSee [15:22] MikeSee: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu [15:23] MikeSee, others are not supported here [15:23] airtonix: palimpset only reports SMART data... could be a kernel bug or a loose sata cable ... [15:23] Xchat is also haveing some intermittent problem as i am unzipping files right now, nothing showing in dmesg [15:23] #ubuntu-ru :Cannot send to channel [15:23] help me [15:23] ok, thanks airtonix :) [15:23] how to know mplayer version?

[15:24] Anyon program anyone would recommend to check the temperature of my CPU and GPU [15:25] ? [15:25] ok, thank serUSUL [15:25] cloversg: firefox and some other apps do o/sync io and will get blocked when heavy io is happening. The best thing to try is ionice, to deprioritize the big io jobs.

[15:27] airtonix, not sure how to access VBoxManage inside of Windows haha [15:27] can't do it from MS DOS [15:27] also this 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd [15:27] erUSUL, i get 3 different mplayer but only one with 3 * near the name, is the one that i have installed? [15:27] d2dchat, press the windows key and R together [15:28] Yeah i think it has to do with XFS, but was advised to use this instead of ext3 becuse of the hex-core [15:28] d2dchat, then type cmd in the text field, press enter [15:28] no problems with XFS on dual core systems [15:28] matteo1990: that's what i get in lucid with medibuntu Installed: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu16+medibuntu1 [15:28] matteo1990: so is 1.0-rc3 + svn 2009- 04 - 26 [15:29] come on guys 1.4k ubuntu followers, still no one has any clue to how HD video skipping can be fixed?

[15:33] Bey bey [15:34] irenicus09: try « mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau path/to/file » [15:34] I don't use mplayer, but I know that there are some movies that play well in Win but not with mplayer [15:34] irenicus09, last time i just used a ppa [15:34] erUSUL: trying it now :) [15:34] irenicus09, you understand what vdapu is ? [15:34] erUSUL, i get 3 entry after that one :) I have added a ppa for the latest mplayer and i wanted to check if the version installed is that one [15:35] airtonix: not sure as to what vdpau does [15:35] irenicus09, cloversg http://pastebin.com/QNvzLUa8 [15:35] matteo1990: well mine is from medibuntu so if it is the ppa version it should appear clearly in the deb file [15:36] irenicus09, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU [15:36] Hello all.

[15:37] erUSUL: but what I don't get is Sebay0n linux had no issues with video playback, everything played perfectly without a glitch :( [15:38] On one of my machines, whenever a program creates a child window it prevents me from clicking on anything except the master window. [15:38] erUSUL: but I just can't abandon Ubuntu, cos it's more stable [15:38] The clicks even pass through the child window. [15:38] erUSUL: entropy (Sebayon package manager) crashed on me like 3 times in a row due to power failure...everything got messed up [15:38] Problem exists with Compiz on and off.

[15:46] danial, no idea sorry [15:46] any simple package like gnome-terminal?! [15:46] bazhang, no it is also on ubuntu [15:46] It is very strange. I've never seen an issue like that before. [15:47] danial: i need terminal like gnome-terminal but the simple one [15:47] I run 3 machines with ubuntu full time and this is the first time anything close to this has ever happened for me. [15:47] gnome-terminal is simple? [15:47] How do you want it more simple? [15:47] any suggestion [15:47] i have to add this [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" at the end of my profile, any one could tell me how? [15:47] anything but it can copy n paste on the term +multitab [15:48] is there a nice gui app that can manage services running on ubuntu? [15:48] Gnome Terminal does copy and past and multitab.

It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [15:48] Webmin is pretty nice. [15:48] yeahh.. [15:48] !ebox > fishcooker [15:48] fishcooker, please see my private message [15:48] fishcooker, ubuntu used to have a "services" menu item under System->Admin, for some reason they got rid of it [15:48] thanks wise [15:49] webmin only 100% avaliable for fedora [15:49] Terminator is a little project to produce an efficient way of [15:49] filling a large area of screen space with terminals. [15:49] any one know a opensource voip geteway [15:49] how can i stop evolution&ubuntu one infecting all of my system? i can't even add a buddy to pidgin without the ubuntu one contacts menu opening... i don't want that. what do i do? [15:49] that's your solution, glicks [15:49] where can i get site which is for newbie on ubuntu? [15:49] !search asterix [15:49] Found: [15:50] what is fishcooker ?

[15:51] olvap: gedit ~/.profile & [15:51] like suse does with YAST2 [15:51] danial: what's difference between gnome-terminal & gnome-terminal.wrapper [15:52] like windows control panel do u mean glicks :D [15:52] fishcooker: No clue. I'm mostly just an ubuntu user, I rarely monkey around with the innards. [15:53] erUSUL: Holy COW! man erUSUL ur a genious! it works! :)) [15:53] but with openbox(OB) on your machine :D [15:53] erUSUL: but the sound is too low man [15:53] that's cool stuff [15:53] irenicus09: no problem :) [15:53] erUSUL: how to fix that? [15:53] I'm trying to deploy a server on ubuntu, but it says the port is being used [15:54] with netstat I found tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN [15:54] erUSUL: I'vent seen video so smooth ever in my life lol! [15:54] irenicus09: check sound option. ( click on the sound icon -->sound preferences) there is system wide volume and per app volumes [15:54] how do I figure out which application that is to shut it down? [15:54] erUSUL: not even in windows [15:54] erUSUL: thnx checking that out now :) [15:55] Hmm, it seems keyboard commands work just fine. I should try launching an app in terminal and see if it throws back any odd errors. [15:55] WXZ: sudo lsof -i :8080 [15:55] ok [15:55] thank you [15:55] how can i completely remove evolution and ubuntu one from my ubuntu? [15:56] Hi. I have realized that firefox 3.6.3 on ubuntu hangs quite often. Right now I have an unresponsive firefox on the taskbar. How do I kill it? [15:56] jsvc 1690 tomcat6 33u IPv6 7352 0t0 TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN), I got this.. but that doesn't really tell me what application it is [15:56] cuz I'm a noob [15:56] fishcooker, no like YAST2 [15:57] what does this error mean (exit code = 16) [15:57] cesc: Go to System>Administration>System Monitor [15:57] for dial up [15:57] glicks, no like apt-get :D [15:57] if the application is tomcat6, I don't know how to turn it off atleast [15:57] cesc: Then find firefox in the list. [15:57] WXZ: 1690 tomcat6 <<<< it tells you the pid and the name what else you need ? [15:58] well I don't know what to do with that erUSUL [15:58] Another way to kill things is to use xkill in the terminal. That only works if you can click on the actual window, but it is super quick. [15:58] WXZ: you can kill it for a star... « sudo kill 1690 » [15:58] i have a tv connected to my geforce 9600m gt over hdmi.. i want to be able to run the tv output totally separately.. meaning that for everything that happens visually on the tv i also want to redirect the sound over the hdmi.. i also want to be able to control the desktop on the tv separately from the laptop screen.. is this accomplishable? [15:58] cesc: you can add an "application killer" to your panel... right click -> add to panel; look for it in the list... [15:58] maybe i need two X servers running? [15:58] WXZ: find out what launches it and disable it [15:58] thanks danial... I can see that firefox-bin is uning 82% of CPU resources [15:58] ActionParsnip: may I message you? [15:58] alright [15:58] IdleOne: sure [15:59] cesc: The likely problem is flash. Consider installing the flashblock extension. [15:59] cesc, do a 'ps -ef | grep firefox' then kill the process that has a parent process of 1 [15:59] hola, alguno habla español? === bep is now known as Guest49940 [16:00] yay, I learned something new [16:00] Harenson, hola. Si, yo hablo un poco. [16:00] Cesc: Flashblock for firefox will likely make your browsing experience much better in general. You can whitelist websites like youtube so it isn't very annoying. [16:00] !es | Harenson sandr1x [16:00] Harenson sandr1x: 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. [16:00] but if "tomboy6" is the process name [16:00] ? [16:00] zamba, do you use the non-free nvidia drivers ? [16:00] how come I can't find it in system monitor [16:01] (exit code = 16) what this error mean in dial up? [16:01] WXZ, because you don't have all the processes sshowing ? [16:01] WXZ: is tomcat [16:01] thanks pakair for your aswer.. So danial you mean flash is crap and hangs firefox? [16:01] WXZ: It should be under system>administration> 5 to last option. [16:01] sandr1x: me puedes colaborar por favor, es que estoy migrando un ciber de winxp a ubuntu, pero le instalé un congelador de discos y cuando reinicio, no me carga las impresoras de red. [16:01] how can i completely remove evolution and ubuntu one from my ubuntu? [16:01] WXZ: tomcat is a servlet app to run java web apps [16:01] Harenson, english here [16:01] anyone [16:01] cesc: Yes, it does like to hang firefox. I'm not sure that is your current problem, but it is likely. [16:01] Harenson, vamos en privado [16:01] I know that erUSUL [16:02] ok sandr1x, ty. [16:02] airtonix: yeah [16:02] hey [16:02] hjello does anyone know what this error mean (exit code = 16) [16:02] system>administration>5 to last is System testing [16:02] WXZ: Is it the 6th than? [16:02] system monitor? [16:03] hello! [16:03] q [16:03] Yeah. [16:03] I did the command that makes appearances pop up when you restart and goto the login screen , what is the command to make it stop popping up everytime I log in? [16:03] You said why am I missing system monitor did you not? [16:03] no danial, I meant the process "tomboy6" [16:03] was running, but I didn't see it under "processes" [16:03] airtonix: using twinview at the moment and extended desktop.. but the problem is that when i switch desktop, it switches on the tv as well.. i basically want to play my movies separately.. and i also want to be able to view youtube videos on the tv without having it blocking my other use [16:03] Oh, sorry, I wasn't really paying attention. [16:03] Flash videos run very laggy in fullscreeen - anyone knows help? I use flash on 64b from that ppa [16:04] zamba, and have you tried using this (highlighted in red) http://imagebin.org/102884 [16:04] ManDay: What type of a graphics card/chipset do you have? [16:04] erUSUL: hey man sorry for interrupting, but when the video plays there isn't any menu/control bar to control sound or video playback...also right clicking on the video screen doesn't work -.- [16:05] nvidia 8800 [16:05] danial [16:05] i am talking to the wall boy it fun. [16:05] in firefox i want to change behavior open file with nautilus, i want to open with other file manager [16:05] hwo to [16:05] irenicus09: you can use gmplayer ... [16:05] oh, let's try [16:05] erUSUL: ok thanks! [16:05] fishcooker there's a #firefox [16:06] Manday: Hmm, that should handle video pretty good. I don't have any experience with 64bit flash, so that may be an issue with it. Try turning compiz on or off, I've often noticed a difference between the two. [16:06] zamba, 1) you need to start the config as root (gksudo nvidia-settings) 2) you change the setting 3) then you have to log out and back in again. [16:06] thanks danial [16:06] zamba, ah you also have to 2.a) click "save to X configuration" [16:07] So it seems a new user account doesn't have the same click issues. I guess I will need to reset gnome settings. [16:07] wxz no answer there [16:07] :D [16:07] yeah, they usually suck... ok [16:07] how can i completely remove evolution and ubuntu one from my ubuntu?

[16:59] oh i see, i only can ping with ip :s [16:59] i can ping both machines. and [16:59] i can see both devices listed in my routers page [16:59] yet i cannot ssh. [16:59] r0zz, also do not confuse samba(or windows networking) hostnames with real hostnames. [17:00] no? , why are diferents? [17:00] What does this means? I woke up in the morning turn on my PC, a message appears: Ubuntu is running on a diffrent resolution configuration, you need to modify your GPU Kernel. [17:00] ubuntu is so good [17:00] I rebboted, and Ubuntu started, but now I cant open Blender [17:01] r0zz, they are provided by different services on a machine... in a windows centric network the netbios portion of windows networking does this.

[17:02] i had a GPU Kernel panic this morning [17:02] zamba, sorry none here. [17:02] airtonix: ok [17:02] do not know how to fix it [17:02] now i can't open Blender [17:02] use a livecd [17:02] zamba, other than investigate running different users maybe or making sure that the desktop setup on the other screen does not use gnome [17:03] Wrapster I'm not sure what you mean by "procuring NAT addrs" NAT is just a translation between your internal and public IP's. What IP are you trying to SSH? [17:03] airtonix: how do i do that? [17:03] airtonix: well i think have to research about, do u have some link? [17:03] zamba, not sure... with great difficulty i imagine [17:03] airtonix: hehehe [17:03] tar: /home/osmodivs/.cache/.fr-jTDien/blender-2.5-alpha2-linux-glibc27-x86_64.tar (2): No se puede open: No existe el fichero ó directorio [17:03] Could anyone explain to me why i have a broadcom wireless card, but the drivers are not showing in hardware drivers? [17:03] wrapster, you need to investigate port forwarding. [17:04] airtonix, that definitelly was a hinderence, but that did not fix the problem [17:04] how do I discover if the ports wer blocked [17:04] "Cannot open: file or directory does not exist" [17:04] eoke: 10.0.0.2(another desktop of mine) and 10.0.0.3(which im currently on) [17:04] please use Windows [17:04] r0zz, you understand what the /etc/hosts file does on linux machines ? [17:04] I have a logitech quickcam (sphere I think) and after upgrading to 10.04 everything has a blusih tint [17:04] osmodivs, why install the alpha? [17:04] wel... [17:04] it offers more options [17:05] jcapinc, install nmap on the other machines and point it at your ubuntu desktop that can't share folders [17:05] Wrapster: If they're both internal which they certainly sound to be based on their IP then your routers NAT should not be getting involved at all really. [17:05] eoke: here is the interesting part. I have vbox installed and running from my 'current machine' that has got the IP 10.0.04 .. from my 'current machine' i can ssh to that [17:05] anyway, I can't even open Blender the one that came from the Ubuntu repository! [17:05] wrapster: Are you sure you've actually got SSH running correctly and firewall configured correctly or disabled. [17:06] eoke: yes ssh is working perfectly. [17:06] wrapster, "port forwarding"... <-- without this you won't get anywhere. [17:06] I think it all started when that KERNE gpu PANIC this morning [17:06] airtonix: ive never done it.. can you pls assist [17:06] jcapinc, nmap -p "the_spesific_port_number_for samba_service" server_ip [17:06] anyone? nobody can help me with this wireless card? [17:06] i've logged into my router's IP now. what next [17:07] airtonix: I believe both of wrapsters host are on the internal network and he's trying ssh from one to the other. As such port forwarding shouldn't be necessary. [17:07] wrapster, your router admin interface might list it as "virtual servers" ( a silly name for port forwarding but there you go) [17:07] It said I was running or the GPU kernel on a diffrent resolution, so had to fix it, or rebooted [17:07] airtonix: in this file is the ip with hostname [17:07] So I rebooted [17:07] and all the probles started [17:07] I need to use USB stick to install Ubuntu Server 10.04 x86, but UNetBootin never work{s|ed}, so what should I use instead ? [17:07] airtonix: i have to add manually [17:07] r0zz, good. now if you add a line like : 127.0.0.1 testhost [17:08] airtonix: is there anyway i can send you a screenshot? [17:08] airtonix: Oh i have 127.0.1.1 localhost [17:08] imagebin.com [17:08] or upload the screeshot and you can take a look at it. [17:08] r0zz, yes but for this demo add that line also [17:09] yep [17:09] r0zz, 127.0.1.1 is a special one that allows bonjour/avahi/zeroconf to do its magic [17:09] Ubuntu isn't detecting my broadcom wireless card, suggestions? [17:10] re182: System → Admin → Hardware Drivers. [17:10] re182, start by giving a pastebin of : lspci -nn | grep Network [17:10] rautamiekka: Easiest thing to do is download the netinstall image, which has everything you need to boot in the vmlinuz and initrd.gz files. Then just install grub and set it up to boot that kernel. [17:10] jpds: no hardware drivers available [17:10] Hey guys which LaTeX inline addon for thunderbird should I get? I found several but I wondered whether there is the best one, before i go through trying them all out [17:10] re182: sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter while connected to internet via wired [17:10] airtonix: mmm 127.0.1.1 allow me use bonjour, avahi and zeroconf? [17:10] r0zz, once you saved that file, ping : ping testhost [17:10] ok [17:10] airtonix: http://imagebin.org/102892 [17:11] r0zz, so now you see how this file lets you use real hostnames [17:11] Jordan_U: Doesn't sound too easy to me.

[17:14] re182: that looks ok [17:14] Wrapster can you pastebin the output from these two commands on the machine you're trying to ssh to please "netstat -plntu" and "iptables -vL" [17:14] sudo rkfill list has no output. [17:14] wrapster, can you explain : 1) what machines are involved 2) the local area network ip addresses of those machines 3) what the router has to do with the problem [17:14] hi [17:15] re182: you are sure the wifi is not switched off? in bios or via some button/key comobo in the laptop ?

[17:21] osmodivs: There are other Linuxes too. If you want to stay with Ubuntu-like things, get Debian since Ubuntu is based on it. Distros not based on Debian or Ubuntu are quite difficult, at least to me. [17:21] is there a channel for complaining?

[17:23] airtonix: yes [17:24] osmodivs: it already there. just click a deb-file ir use synaptic [17:24] wrapster, ok so they are on the same network. we shouldn't need to worry about the router then. [17:24] erUSUL: okay, now what? reboot? [17:24] osmodivs: Package it as a .deb and it will be installable with a double click (on Ubuntu at least). What are you trying to package exactly?

[17:25] wrapster, that router page you screenshotted for me is a wifi device. [17:25] Is it $B$2? I'll try that. [17:25] osmodivs: using ubuntu its much easier to install an application and much different to the windows-way [17:26] stercor, correct [17:26] erUSUL: Still nothing. [17:26] airtonix: on top of this.. i have vbox installed on lucid from which im runnig a VM just to test i booted into that and it got the IP 10.0.0.4.. this time from lucid im able to ssh to that machine easily [17:26] re182: try rebooting then ... [17:26] can i just kill and reboot x? or do i need a full reboot? [17:26] re182: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [17:26] im getting tons of these errors http://pastebin.com/JJx3e9t7 any idea how to fix? [17:26] Yep. That worked. It is '$', not '.' or ':' :-) [17:27] osmodivs: This will keep you up to date with the latest (and therefore likely broken in many ways) development code: https://launchpad.net/~cheleb/+archive/blender-svn [17:27] wrapster: can you confirm the machine you're trying to ssh from is also on the 10.0.0.x network [17:27] wrapster, wait. you have two real machines with ip addresses of 10.0.0.2 and 3. but you have a vbox guest on the first and it has an ip address of 10.0.0.4 [17:27] wrapster: I'm just wondering if that's still on the 192.168.10.x subnet you mentioned earlier. [17:27] osmodivs: It you want to run alpha software you're need to expect difficulties and bugs. [17:27] eoke: thats correct.. Im trying to ssh from lucid to jaunty.. and lucid has 10.0.0.x [17:28] airtonix: correct [17:28] wrapster, so what does the vbox guest have to do with the problem ? (and what is the problem) [17:28] could you recommend me a software to record my activity using linux? [17:28] wrapster: Correct that it's on the 10.0.0.x address or correct its on the 192.168.10.x address. [17:28] cesc, define "record activity" [17:28] airtonix: vbox does not have anything to do with that. [17:28] cesc, recordmydesktop [17:28] Alcohol52: No luck with LiLi either. The boot menu is the pretty Ubuntu Server one but "Detect and mount CD-ROM" fails no differently from UNetBootin's installation. [17:28] eoke: correct that its on 10.0.0.x network [17:28] sorry, I mean to record my cursor movement and actions... [17:29] !screencast > cesc [17:29] cesc, please see my private message [17:29] wrapster, have you confirmed that port 22 is open on the target machine ?

[17:30] i hope someone can help me .i have been trying to fix my grub loader for 3 days now and all the things i have tryed do not seam to work. from live cd's and super grub disk,but still can't get my ubuntu or bgrub menu to come up. [17:30] airtonix: http://imagebin.org/102895 [17:30] eoke: http://imagebin.org/102895 [17:30] sheff: grub2? [17:30] what's the best website editor (like Dreamweaver) for Ubuntu/Linux? [17:30] that will give you the perfect pic [17:30] forget about the 10.0.0.4.. thats the vbox instance. [17:31] frxstrem, dreamweaver like is aptana studio [17:31] wrapster, ok but have you scanned the target machine with nmap to confirm the ports are open ? [17:31] what im trying to do is to connect to .2 from .3 [17:31] tootoot222: yas === dylan_ is now known as re182 [17:31] bazhang: okay, thanks :) [17:31] airtonix: no that i've not done [17:31] erUSUL: still no output from iwconfig [17:31] wrapster, oh right. from the vbox guest. (which has host network setup instead of nat) [17:31] re182: :( [17:31] erUSUL: When i had a fresh install, i could see wireless in the tray [17:31] airtonix: right [17:32] re182: paste whole dmesg ? [17:32] erUSUL: but now i can't, any idea what could have caused that? [17:32] hi anyone know lxde? [17:32] really dunno [17:32] sheff: all you have to do is boot into a livecd, mount your ubuntu partition to /mnt, bind /dev /proc and /sys into it, then chroot into it; from there you can restore the mbr and update the menu [17:32] wrapster just to confirm ssh from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.3 doesn't work but sshing from 10.0.0.4(a VM on 10.0.0.2) to 10.0.0.3 does? [17:32] i have some lxde related problems [17:32] wrapster, ok so. 1) can you ping google. 2) try using from the guest : nmap 10.0.0.0/24 [17:33] Hello :) [17:33] tootoot222: i have tryed that but still can't seam to get it right. [17:33] wrapster, what is the OS on the guest ? [17:33] sheff: are you on a livecd right now? [17:34] tootoot222: no i'm on the xp partition, it's a dual boot [17:35] eoke: ssh from .3 to .4(which is a VM present on .3 itself) works fine. ssh from .4 to either .2 or .3 does not work. (ping from .4 to .2 or .3 works) [17:35] sheff: what version of ubuntu do you have? (and did you upgrade in place from an earlier version?) [17:35] eoke: ssh to .4 from .3 probably works coz its bridged and the other two IPs are not [17:36] Hi, I'm using a Live-CD of Ubuntu 10.04 here and I can't seem to get an accepted SSI certificate when I attempt to login to some sites. Any ideas on what might be going on? [17:36] Is it possible to install google-chrome-beta on lucid? [17:36] tootoot222: i had just installed ubuntu 9.10 2 weeks ago [17:36] airtonix: from all these machines I can ping google [17:36] savid, chromium? [17:36] KPJS, ssi needs to be saved somewhere i guess... [17:36] bazhang, google-chrome [17:36] savid: enable the partner repository [17:36] wrapster, ok and lastly the guest vm is having its network setup as bridged/host only ? not NAT ? [17:37] Tootoot222, yeah, I did -- but I still don't see it... [17:37] airtonix: the VM is running opensolaris [17:37] http://nopaste.info/b014807e99.html <- problem with fetchmail. mta is msmtp installed. error: smtp localhost connection failed. [17:37] savid, it's possible and it's installed here [17:37] airtonix: correct. its set as bridged/host only [17:37] savid: aptitude search chrome [17:38] wrapster, i assume its a ubuntu desktop 10.04 ? [17:38] Tootoot222, yeah, that's what I did -- no google chrome [17:38] savid, http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html?hl=en&platform=linux&hl=en [17:38] savid, just download && install [17:39] airtonix: 10.0.0.4 is a VM.. that is running opensolaris.. 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 are 2 separate physical machines running jaunty and lucid respectively [17:39] HexLaTor, yeah, I'm aware of that -- looking for a repository though so I can get updates [17:39] tootoot222: when it installed i did not notice it mad a 40 gig partition with nothing on it but lost and found ,so i tryed to remove and resize it . now i have just the win [17:39] airtonix: yes... [17:39] is there a command line traceroute utility in Ubuntu? [17:39] to boot into but the ubuntu is still there [17:39] savid, for updates, just open ur chrome >> about >> verify updates..! [17:39] guys, I am having an issue with using nano, I am using putty to connect to my Ubuntu system and each time I use the editor, I have an issue with certain keys, like 0, which I use off my numeric key pad instead, as I am missing a keyboard key [17:40] wrapster, do you have other services on .2 or .3 that you can test from .4 ? [17:40] hello [17:40] hey gops [17:40] is their a log i can check after a system crash? [17:41] airtonix: no [17:41] how do i download the source of a webpage using wget [17:41] my 0 [insert] is the same as ^R [17:42] and did you confirm that you can ssh from .2 to .3 (and vice versa) [17:42] airtonix: http://pastie.org/1020050 [17:42] profxavier, are u talking about vi ? [17:42] use vim [17:42] What's this weird grinding noise I hear when I hold in Alt+Tab ?? [17:42] airtonix: that is the problem.. Im unable to ssh from .2 to .3 [17:42] thats what i've been trying to find out [17:43] wrapster, NAT that .. [17:43] wrapster, do they even have openssh-server installed ? [17:43] tootoot222: should i boot into the live cd ? and then come back to here? [17:43] wrapster, nvm [17:43] gops: wget google.com [17:44] why does the ubuntu website recomment 32 bit vs 64 bit for daily use? [17:44] wrapster, i would check that you dont have ufw running [17:44] ha [17:44] i figured it out :D [17:44] wrapster, sudo ufw disable [17:44] airtonix: i had openssh-client installed just now installed openssh-server [17:44] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [17:44] wrapster, i mean, sudo service ufw stop [17:44] how can I *always* run nano with the -K flag, without having to enter it each time ? [17:44] This is strange. The security certificate is getting denied when I attempt to login to live.xbox.com but it's accepted at hotmail. I downloaded the latest version of Chrome. [17:44] profxavier: man alias [17:45] profxavier, make an alias in your bash conf (in your home folder) [17:45] taomaster: because the benefits of 64-bit are minor, and there are a few more potential headaches with 64-bit (flash/video-drivers/etc) [17:45] Does anyone else hear a weird grinding noise when they hold in Alt+Tab? === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [17:45] * duffydack loves his 64bit complete with flash and video drivers [17:45] appleseed, what ?? [17:46] thume3 i'm running 64 and see no issues [17:46] When I hold in Alt+Tab and cycle through the windows, I can hear my pc making this weird grinding sound, I'm serious. [17:46] airtonix: installed openssh-server on .3 and stopped ufw [17:46] now what? [17:46] I'm running of the newest hardware and an SSD [17:47] wrapster, no idea if 1) both .2 .3 & .4 all have openssh-server installed , and 2) none of the are running firewall blocking port 22 or only allowing a specific ip address, and 3) you can access other services on the those machines [17:47] wrapster, do that nmap scan again from .2 to .3 and also from .3 to .2 [17:47] does the 32 bit version use 4 gb of memory and more? [17:47] airtonix: ok [17:47] taomaster, yes, if you use the pae kernel [17:48] pae kennel? [17:48] I'm having trouble making my computer auto-login to my account. When I go into the options menu (Settings -> Admin -> Login Settings) I can see the option but my user account doesn't show up. What gives? [17:48] HexLaTor: does your pc also make noise when holding in Alt+Tab? [17:48] No === sisu_math is now known as moomlyn [17:49] appleseed, u 've compiz there ? [17:49] wrapster, you should in theory at least see that nmap finds an open port at 22 [17:49] HexLaTor: lol, I'm not crazy though, and I can't think what the heck would make such a sound; well it's just plain KDE on Kubuntu, you're probably running Ubuntu right? [17:49] airtonix: yes i find that on both .3 and .2 [17:50] wrapster, and so now you should try ssh login from either machine [17:50] salve [17:51] I use this in a bash script at Ubuntu Server: var1="$variable" php $HOME/script.php but this doesn't seem to work at my Ubuntu Desktop installation: var="Hello" php $HOME/script.php Why isn't the same code working on both computers?

You can't just access the variables of other programs. You have to pass them in just like passing a var into a function [17:55] hello there, are there any problems with wubi 10.04 and X ? [17:55] edbian: Ok, do you mean that I have to import the variable using a php function inside the script? [17:55] realubot, I'm not sure how to pass arguments to a php script. Typically you would do PHP scriptName.php argument1 [17:56] what's the command whit remove the program? [17:56] realubot, php has some special way of accessing it in the program after that. I'm not sure you'll have to research it.

[19:06] Well I asked a question about fifteen minutes back; I'm not sure anyone even saw it [19:07] so here goes again: [19:07] Everytime I switch applications using alt+tab, my mouse pointer stalls for a fraction of a second. Is this a bug? If so, how can I fix it? [19:07] hi [19:07] proximalpha: what video card? [19:07] can I change windows xp config from ubuntu? [19:07] nvidia geforce go 7400 [19:07] tle: no, i can't see your computer screen from where i'am. [19:07] because I changed the network domain on a windows netbook, and now I can't login [19:07] Agu10: I believe you can edit the registry from ubuntu [19:08] I just need to login on it to change the domain back :S [19:08] Agu10: use the local admin account on the pc [19:08] ActionParsnip: I have an nvidia Geforce Go 7400 video card [19:08] ActionParsnip: what's that? [19:08] alex-hp, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343192 sorry dont use windows but this is something that might give you some information [19:09] i made an image of my linux ext3 partition on my internal hard disk and then restored it on a partition on my external hard disk. Then I reinstalled the grub on this hard disk and still cannot boot from this partition [19:09] Pirate_Hunter, thank you. [19:09] I can't choose the network domain anymore in the login window [19:09] it has disappeared [19:09] Agu10: every windows pc has an admin account on the local pc. Change your login domain to the local pc and use the local admin account you set when you first installed the OS [19:09] When I go into the options menu (Settings -> Admin -> Login Settings) I can see the option but my user account doesn't show up. The other user accounts do but I set them up after I installed this machine. [19:09] Anyone know how to get your VMWare (with the host being Lucid Lynx) to see your home directory and desktop from the XP side of things. I had this set up nicely before my upgrade but I need to "hook it back up". [19:10] Agu10: click the options button on the logon screen [19:10] Im using Samba4 and a 64-bit install of Lucid Lynx [19:10] ActionParsnip: yes, but nothing shows up [19:10] the window becomes taller [19:10] and no domain dropdown is shown [19:10] Agu10: windows support is in ##windows dude, they will help there [19:10] }ok [19:11] thanks [19:11] boba: How did you re-install grub? What happens when you try to boot? [19:11] Keylimepi: i'd ask in #vbox as its more specific to your issue [19:11] hello Guys. I tried to install doomsday game with cmake but gives me an following error : http://pastebin.com/Axq1vpZU. How can I fix this. Thnx === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [19:11] ActionParsnip: Is there a vmware specific channel? [19:11] ActionParsnip, VMWare in #vbox? [19:11] #vbox [19:11] Jordan_U: i tried in different ways from the live cd directly from my working Ubuntu partition [19:12] proximalpha: there's an xorg.conf option to use hwcursor off and on, i'd play with that [19:12] Pirate_Hunter: d'oh. Nice save [19:12] Yeah. Vbox seems geared towards virtual box, not vmware [19:12] Yeah #vmware then [19:13] Jordan_U: But when i select to boot from the USB it starts the grub menu and i select Ubuntu but it mounts from the internal hard disk [19:13] http://pastebin.com/Axq1vpZU [19:13] i know about the #kubuntu channel but i haven't got any support so far so: I just installed kubuntu 10.04 LTS, but I'm having trouble booting it; I get a grub error 15; fdisk -l shows: http://codepad.org/kNDQkfAT [19:14] What's a good terminal tool for zipping/compression? [19:14] Zol: bzip [19:14] and of course, the channel is dead. Meh [19:14] jordan_u: not sure if you saw it so re sending it ,,,, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UnSMtieU [19:14] Zol: xv is the new hotness. [19:15] Jorg: looks like you are missing some zlib -dev package [19:15] Keylimepi: its a config in the setting of vmware for the virtual system [19:15] sheff: Ok, are you booted from an Ubuntu 9.10 liveCD? [19:16] jordan_u: yes [19:16] amneca: can bzip compress directories? [19:16] Jork: have you tried looking for the librar((y)ies) missing? [19:16] KeyLimePi: you could use virtualbox, its open source which vmware isn't :) [19:16] ActionParsnip: But I need to set up samba4's smb.conf file first. Thats what is not working [19:16] jpdz: can't find xv in aptitude. [19:16] Samba4 seems to have made some changes [19:16] !info samba lucid [19:16] samba (source: samba): SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 6127 kB, installed size 16748 kB [19:16] ActionParsnip: and I have VMware player which wa sfree. I like it so I would prefer to keep using it === neutrino is now known as tar- [19:17] no [19:17] Ubottu, Im sorry I didnt understand [19:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:17] Keylimepi: use samba 3.4 then [19:17] KeyLimePi, that is the problem you might have to wait a while for someone that is good with vmware, i myself use vbox [19:17] Zol: yes [19:17] jordan_u: go slow please lol [19:17] now I install zlib1g - dev and dpg and gives me a new error [19:17] boba: You're going to need to edit your /etc/fstab and update your /boot/grub/grub.cfg to point to the external drive. [19:17] KeyLimePi: its only free as in beer, its closed source [19:17] Could NOT find PNG (missing: PNG_LIBRARY PNG_PNG_INCLUDE_DIR).... [19:18] I know with the old smb.conf (pre-Samba4) I had no problem. Its just a matter of findng out how *samba 4's* smb.conf works. It seems like some things changed and so my old smb.conf lines written for the vmware share are not working [19:18] Jork: then grab libpng and/or libpng-dev (search the packages for exact names) [19:18] I can ping back and forth between host and guest. I just cant get xp to access the folder on the host [19:18] KeyLimePi: why change something that works? What is your rationale for using ver 4? [19:19] Jork, didn't the tut your following for your game tell you which libraries/dependencies are needed otherwise you'll just have to keep trying until all is satisfied [19:19] now nev error Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR) [19:19] sheff: Re-installing grub from a LiveCD can be a difficult task (and can be dangerous, like making your windows install unbootable, if you make a mistake) if you're not comfortable with the terminal. If you can, I strongly recommend burning and booting from Super GRUB2 Disk as it will make things much easier and less error prone. [19:19] ActionParsnip: Version 4 came pre-installed. Looks like I cant kick back a version at least until I find a download for it. Dont assume that I was married to Samba4. Its just what was already there so if I need to change it, I will. :) [19:20] Pirate Hunter: I was loking but nothing is writen wich libraries I need [19:20] KeyLimePi: preinstalled? Samba is optional dude. Its not a default package in Ubuntu [19:20] Jork, please look for the libraries something like aptitude search [search term] will help those arent really errors [19:20] my audio lags and skips, even with low cpu usage, is this a common bug in ubuntu? [19:21] ActionParsnip: It upgrade me. Dont ask me why. Im just telling you what happened. *shrugs* [19:21] upgraded* me from my old samba. [19:21] is there seriously no way I can disable mouse acceleration while keeping decent mouse speed? [19:21] jordan_u: ok i will try that .thank you for all your help [19:21] Julian1: run; sudo lshw -C sound | grep -i product ,websearch for the output for guides and/or bugs [19:21] all I know is when I went into synaptic to download samba, it was already installed. [19:21] sheff: You're welcome. [19:21] but samba4 [19:22] !info samba4 [19:22] samba4 (source: samba4): LanManager-like file server for Unix (version 4). In component universe, is optional. Version 4.0.0~alpha8+git20090912-1 (lucid), package size 33818 kB, installed size 130340 kB [19:22] Jork, try libcurl3-dev [19:22] KeyLimePi: its a completely seperate package to samba [19:22] How can I use fribidi? [19:22] ok [19:23] can anyone tell me how to disable mouse acceleration while still keeping decent sensitivity? [19:23] anyone? [19:23] ActionParsnip: Well, I dont know how it was there then. Maybe my partner installed it when he was doing the upgrade. [19:23] KeyLimePi: samba4 will not upgrade samba as its a seperate package just like firefox 3.7 won't upgrade 3.6 [19:23] Either way, Id rather focus on finding the solution than debating how what got where. :) [19:23] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/QfUeGefA [19:23] KeyLimePi: sounds more likely === neutrino is now known as tar- [19:24] libcurl3-dev not existing in my sympatic [19:24] KeyLimePi: remove samba4 and install samba which you know works [19:24] is samba available on lucid repositories or do I need to find a download online? [19:25] KeyLimePi, have you thought about looking at your samba conf file and checking the setting and if samba was upgraded have you looked to see if any changes have been made to how samba operates... (if that even makes any sense I am very doubtful) [19:25] Jordan_U: the partitiion I want to boot from is /dev/sdb2 [19:25] seriously, do I have to buy a new mouse just to get increased sensitivity with 0 acceleration? [19:25] is there no other way? [19:25] I think I have ubuntu installed inside windows but want to format windows, is there a way of moving it to a separate partition please? [19:25] anyone? [19:25] Jordan_U: i want to have this on the grub menu [19:25] Pirate_Hunter: To be honest, that was what I was hoping to find out. I figure it must be someething I have to set differently. Either way, I uninstalled samba4 just now. I dont see plain "samba" to install instead though. [19:26] Jordan_U: fstab contents http://pastebin.com/aFzMgJ0z [19:26] Ulmo: you could backup the wubi files, reinstall windows clean, install wubi then reinstate the wubi backup [19:27] KeyLimePi, its there just keep ;looking I just did a search and found it [19:27] !info samba [19:27] samba (source: samba): SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 6127 kB, installed size 16748 kB [19:27] KeyLimePi: sudo apt-get install samba [19:27] Ulmo: Yes, with lvpm: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [19:27] I have an app that runs on my desktop that allows me to control it via my phone, but the stupid app keeps a window open at all times. Is there a way to automatically "hide" an app's window when it starts up? [19:27] Pirate_Hunter: Online or in the repositories. I only see "samba4" in my repositories. Is there a source I need to add? [19:27] Savid: open it with alltray [19:27] Jordan_U: Nice :) [19:28] Savid: the app will reside in the system tray [19:28] ActionParsnip, cool thanks, I'll check it out [19:28] Thing is when I installed ubuntu I thought I'd put it on a partition but it doesn't show up inside gparted. [19:28] boba: Can you pastebin your current grub.cfg? [19:28] KeyLimePi, try aptitude search samba it will show you in alphabetical order all packages with the term samba find the one that says samba on its own or follow ActionParsnip command [19:29] Okay....and I assume I should find a blank samba .conf file. I did alot of tweaking last night and I want to start fresh and re-configure all over again. [19:29] Samba is installed [19:29] KeyLimePi, it's all the repo they wouldn't leave samba out unless your source list is different [19:30] How do I know if I'm on wubi or not? [19:30] Pirate_Hunter: I got samba installed via terminal. I just couldnt find it when going via Synaptic [19:30] Ulmo: did you install using a CD from within windows [19:30] ikonia: I had a confused installation, initially tried installing within windows, then booted using cd afterwards and installed so I don't really know what I've got, which is weird.. [19:30] Hey all, how does ubuntu use the "proxy" user? If I want an application's user to access a directory owned by "proxy" can I change the ownership? [19:30] Okay....let me copy/paste my clean samba file and see what I need to change. [19:31] KeyLimePi, /etc/samba/smb.conf I think if I aint mistaken [19:31] KeyLimePi: synaptic is slow. If you know the package name just use apt-get ;) [19:31] Ulmo: if you installed from a cd afterwards then you are not using wubi [19:31] Ulmo: Run "mount" from within Ubuntu, if you see anything with "loop0" then you're probably booted into a wubi install. [19:31] yeah, thats where it installed back in the day [19:31] ikonia: So why should the partition manager only show one partition, not two? [19:31] Im copying/pasting that file now. It should be pretty "barebones out of the box" since I kept a clean copy back [19:31] Jordan_U: I don't have such file [19:32] Jordan_U: in /boot/grub/ [19:32] Ulmo: oh dear, then it looks like you didn't install properly from the CD [19:32] Are there any important files in /bin or /lib? [19:32] Jordan_U: /dev/loop0 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [19:32] http://pastebin.com/AdDqYmtg [19:33] KeyLimePi, out of curiosity you just said you installed samba wouldnt that mean you didn't have samba installed in the first place? [19:33] Zol: Yes, many. I'm somewhat concerned, why are you asking? [19:33] ikonia: But everything is working fine. [19:33] Ulmo: You're booted into a wubi install. [19:33] Pirate_Hunter: I had samba4 installed at first. My partner might of installed it while we were reinstalling my computer's distro. he and I didnt reallize that samba4 was gonna be trouble. :) [19:33] Ulmo: wubi can work fine, [19:34] Pirate_Hunter: But now I have samba not samba4 [19:34] Jordan_U: My VPS has been compromised. I've managed to get access to it through the manager console. So I'm compressing everything and uploading to my other FTP as a backup since I can't access it otherwise with FileZilla & SFTP. I'm not a very experienced ubuntu user so I'm not sure where all important config files might be. :/ [19:34] KeyLimePi, ok no problem that yeah your file would be barebone just customize it to your needs [19:34] boba: Please run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.TXT file it produces: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [19:35] So if the home folder I want to link XP's "my documents" to is "/home/john123" how would I do it? [19:36] anyone know if there's a keynote for ubuntu? [19:36] keylimpi: you "cd john123" [19:36] and yeah, I gotta ifconfig & ipconfig so I cna find the IP address for it to talk to [19:36] KeyLimePi, man samba and their are great tuts on that all over the net [19:37] Pirate_Hunter: and of course, I havent had to mess with smb.conf for vmware in ages. Out of practice samba chick. Meh. [19:37] chowlala: There are a few presentation programs available, the closest thing to keynote that you can use with Ubuntu is actually a web app: http://280slides.com/Editor/ [19:38] Jordan_U: nothing is result is produced [19:38] Jordan_U: no is result is produced [19:38] Jordan_U: no result is produced [19:38] jordan_u: wow, rly? kthx, will try it [19:38] Jordan_U: When I rebooted my VPS I got "Access Denied" whenever I tried logging on. Though, through the manager console I could logon and even if I changed passwords to the same it said that were unchanged. So I don't know why I can't logon. :/ Either as root/user [19:38] boba: Do you know the difference between sh and bash? [19:38] KeyLimePi, no worries you'll get their i've got deactivated as my printer has proprietary drivers so I had o create a simple print server in vbox [19:38] i have ubuntu on my laptop. is using it on a public wifi network much of a security problem? [19:39] Jordan_U: not really what i did was sudo sh bootinfo.....sh [19:39] infid: no more than windows [19:39] yeah. this year has been a bad compputer year for me [19:39] Jordan_U: i know that they are two different shells [19:39] First my motherboard dies in a computer and I have to get a new laptop [19:39] boba: This is a bash script (as you can see fromm the #! line), you need to run it with "sudo bash" instead. [19:39] Self_Important_: is it safe to shop while on a public wifi network? [19:39] 6 months later, the HD fro m that computer dies (it was a seagate *facepalm*) hehe [19:40] Jordan_U: oki [19:40] infid: as much as it is on windows [19:40] i dont use windows so i dont know what that means [19:40] infid: always take precautions when entering your CC numbers and other sensitive info.

[19:41] ok [19:41] Pirate_Hunter: Yes. Oh, and its been one last nail in the coffin for me to be able to fully sayy from experience that Seagate is a horrible quality hard drive. Meh [19:42] Zol: Files from /bin and /lib are not configuration dependant, and therefore don't really need to be backed up. Re-installing the packages will get you those files back. [19:42] Pirate_Hunter: This was the 4th drive in the last 10 years that has done this to me (2 of them being from workplaces).

[20:05] alen: you just select the recovery mode option from the grub menu (at boot); if you don't see it, hold down the 'shift' key after your see your computer manufacturer logo right after the system starts up [20:05] #ipw2100 [20:05] notmorewindows, it is easy just like learning french or any other language I guess I couldn't help you [20:06] amendrezick: use UUIDs for whatever you're trying to do [20:06] amendrezick: Use UUIDs instead, like the default fstab entries do. [20:06] guntbert, I am not being able to connect to my pc from outside the localhost. I can ping but not ssh it ... [20:06] When I restart smbd, I do get this: "smbd start/running, process 7240 " Anything to be concerned about? [20:06] pirate i need parameters console for to repair it [20:06] zimbres: well are you running sshd? [20:06] thanks, i'll have a look [20:06] Tootoot222: alright [20:06] KeyLimePi, nope [20:06] KeyLimePi: it means you're running a samba server, which lets you share files to windows (and mac i think too) computers [20:06] lietu, yes [20:07] notmorewindows: There is #ubuntu-es if you'd like support in spanish. [20:07] zimbres: on your pc type sudo iptables -L -- that lists all firewall rules [20:07] Tootoot222: Thanks. :) [20:07] notmorewindows, ddi you follow my instruction did you sudo nvidia..etc and did the new file get created in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if so what is the problem? [20:07] the support in spanish is bit and bad [20:08] lietu, guntbert , If I try user@ip in my machine I can connect, but if I try from outside the LAN it times out. [20:08] Pirate_Hunter: What would be the best way , now that i took the setup from that headless guide, added it to my smb.conf and restarted smbd, to see if my VM will see and open up an explorer window for the address? [20:08] boba: The probelm is that you have two filesystems with the same UUID, whichever happens to be found first is the one that will be used [20:08] hey guys, quick question, is it possible to generate the "video" output totem has when playing an audio file, and then save that as a video file? [20:09] notmorewindows, use tab completion or else 'pirate' maybe won't see your messages [20:09] where do I get the Live CD? [20:09] zimbres: from outside the LAN? then your router is blocking access [20:09] is it the same as the desktop edition? [20:09] !download [20:09] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Lucid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [20:09] pirate since the manager packs i can to have a easy solution? [20:09] alen: desktop = live. yes. [20:09] ah [20:09] got it === max is now known as Guest35646 [20:10] KeyLimePi, are you even sharing your folders in XP that is supposed to reflect your settings in XP, afetr that you should be able to share the folders, by the way if you use VirtualBox it is much easier and you don't have to mess with samba and takes less than 5minutes [20:10] Cam i erase disk? [20:10] guntbert, I did not configured the router to block access. Could it be the cable modem? I am directly connected to the cable modem the ISP provided. [20:10] Pirate_Hunter: What do you mean by that question? [20:11] zimbres: routers automatically block everything until you tell them not to (because of NAT) [20:11] zimbres: it could be the cable modem, it could be the isp, it could be the other computer you're trying to SSH from... can you try to SSH within your lan? [20:11] sheff: I need to leave now, you might want to write down that the command to re-install grub once you've booted your actually install is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical" [20:11] linux isnt easy linux give problems [20:11] What does a group ID number do? [20:12] zimbres: normally nobody is able to access a host on your LAN from outside, that must be configured [20:12] pr0xy: it identifies a group? [20:12] pr0xy: it's used to let somebody that doesn't own the file be able to read/write/execute it [20:13] hello [20:13] how do I modify one for planeshift? it said I required ID 770 and $USER:games [20:13] it's probably mode 770 [20:13] KeyLimePi, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/Switching_From_VMWare_To_VirtualBox:_.vmdk_To_.vdi_Using_Qemu_+_VdiTool this shows how to move you windows image to virtualbox and what I meant is that virtualbox is much easier to use specially when sharing folders [20:13] pr0xy: chgrp [20:14] Pirate_Hunter: vmware has a shared folders thing built in btw [20:14] Alright. fair enough [20:14] like, what do they mean and which group's ID should be 770? [20:14] Tootoot222, I tried to configure the cable modem but did not find valuable information on the web on how to do it ..., lietu : I called the ISP and they say they are not blocking 22, and I can connect to the localhost ..., guntbert : Could you help me doing it? [20:14] Tootoot222, i've stated I do not know nothing about vmware I am just helping getting samba to work [20:14] Can I take a snapshot of the desktop when I point to a system menu item? [20:14] I highly doubt they're saying that any group ID needs to be 770 [20:15] But how do I test my smb.conf settings to see if my vm can open an explorer window that shows the /home/user folder which Im trying to share from host to guest? [20:15] I have the command line open in XP [20:15] zimbres: step 1) what is the ip address of your pc? [20:15] hareldvd: I think ive seen it done with some tools that have a 'delay setting' that can wait a few sec then take a snap shot. but i cant recall the name of the tools. [20:15] KeyLimePi, never mind about the link the latest vbox can handle vdk image so you can just use it as it is [20:15] KeyLimePi: open explorer and put \\server\share into the top address bar [20:15] lietu: it says so in the installation for planeshift [20:16] Pirate_Hunter: oh? thats a new feature i could of used last year.. :) [20:16] guntbert, 187.66.150.79 (output of ifconfig for eth1) === solidturtle_ is now known as solidturtle [20:17] zimbres: may I try to ping it? [20:17] guntbert, yes, go ahead [20:17] Tootoot222: Well tha tseems to have worked but only if I put the IP address in. It still cant work if I put \john1234 after it. [20:17] Dr_Willis, I wasn't even aware till now wait should thank the person that took their time to reply [20:17] should I change the ID of games to 770? [20:17] and with just entering the IP, I get Printers and faxes and "scheduled tasks". nothing else. [20:18] How do I specify the file to set selections from with: dpkg −−set−selections [20:18] jordan_u: sorry i was called away [20:18] como faço pra entrar na sala ubuntu br? [20:18] can any bordy plese drop the danish ubuntuserver on freenode? [20:19] gustv, /join #ubuntu-br [20:19] anthon, I guess #ubuntu-dk [20:19] KeyLimePi, check your network places in windows [20:19] Is it possible that it because the home directories area of smb.conf are commented out? [20:19] thanks;) [20:20] Pirate_Hunter: "My Network Places" opens up blank [20:20] jordan_u: what was the link for grub 2 cd? [20:20] KeyLimePi: the 'home' shares are a special kind of share that i always enable. :) its a handy feature. lets you connect to //server/USERNAME and get to their home. I rarely share specific dirs. I just use the home shares. [20:21] zimbres: ok you are obviously on a regular ip address - I'll have a look into ssh config - brb [20:21] Dr_Willis: Yeah. Im workign with a clean smb.conf file so they are commented out with a semicolon [20:21] KeyLimePi: thats the default. but will not interfear with you making specific shares. [20:21] KeyLimePi: one of the first things i always do is excit smb.conf and set the workgroup and enable writeable home shares. [20:21] Dr_Willis: So what is missing from my smb.conf. [20:22] Dr_Willis: Workgroup is already set up (and is not commented out). So what else could it be? [20:22] jordan_u: nvm i'll find it. thanks again [20:22] KeyLimePi: no idea. I havent notic3d the original issue. [20:22] KeyLimePi, http://www.hackorama.com/network/samba.shtml I asked you earlier where you sharing the folder in windows the link explains quite well what I meant [20:22] zimbres: did you check your firewall rules with sudo iptables -L already? [20:23] guntbert, yes, seems to be ok, but i am not used to iptables, so that i cannot make sure it is ok, I will paste it [20:23] !pastebin | zimbres [20:23] zimbres: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

What is the version for Ubuntu 10.04? [20:25] how can i query the terminal window to return the kernel version that is being used by ubuntu? [20:25] Incarnation: ``uname -a'' [20:25] thanks Tootoot222 [20:25] or if you only want the kernel version, ``uname -r'' [20:26] thanks :) [20:26] KeyLimePi, now you need the windows side I just tend to share my Public folder [20:26] zimbres: you enabled a firewall - open that application and a) try to temporaily disable it, b) change the rules to accept ssh [20:26] julian__: you probably want python2.6-dev since 2.6 is the default in ubuntu [20:27] thanks trism...couldn [20:27] how can i query the terminal for the version number of GCC that is currently being used in ubuntu? [20:27] thanks trism, couldn't find it in the ubuntu software center. I'll search for it. [20:27] guntbert, which application? [20:27] Incarnation: gcc --version ? [20:27] thanks Dr_Willis [20:28] sorry for the stupid questions [20:28] Incarnation: most apps have a --version option :) [20:28] KeyLimePi, to tell you the truth just going in google and using the search criteria samba windows share has so many links which are much easier to follow than my instructions and each have very good explanations and examples === kUrld is now known as Guest61902 [20:28] Incarnation: some odd ones dont.. but they are rare. :) [20:28] yeah, I am kind of treating ubuntu like its a windows product [20:28] zimbres: that I cannot know - but I'll look [20:28] thats why I keep running into these things [20:29] i would only be interested in learning the inner workings if i ran into a problem and had to fix it myself [20:29] Incarnation: yep. It pays to learn the fundamentals.. and you get amazed at how well thoguht out/logical linux can be. :) well parts of it at least. [20:29] guntbert, I do not remember having set a firewall here ... [20:29] ah, found it trism, thanks! [20:29] luckily i havent run into any such problems yet [20:29] guntbert, I am quite new to all this ... [20:29] zimbres: firewall apps are: ufw, firestarter,... [20:29] free antivirus suggestion? [20:29] my only real issue with learning the fundamentals is that i dont have the time or resources to do it myselff [20:30] Incarnation: think of 'legos and layers' Linux is lots of little blocks. building up layers of the OS. It pays to learn at least the basics of the blocks. [20:30] shawncm217: you don't need antivirus on ubuntu [20:30] i from brazil. i dont try xchat brazilian. Can i help me?

I keep getting an error "Debootstrap Error", "Failed to determine the codename for the release." and can't see anything useful in the logs and google isn't being useful with this [21:33] ... I assume this problem is due to me using unetbootin to stick the alternative image on an usb stick, had to mount /dev/sdb1 to /cdrom manually also to get it working at all [21:33] back again, I have two problems that I think are related to a recent upgrade [21:34] problem 1- before the upgrade, I had a network mount that was set up to be made at startup, and created a link on the desktop [21:34] Xcell: sorry, i think that was you that recommended it. Vexille: I'll check that one too. [21:34] tootoot222: should i run any other commands to check it or update it?

[21:37] Agent_Smith, have you tried googling for "sources.list" ? [21:37] or even "file:sources.list" (not sure if that's an operator though) [21:37] !google [21:37] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [21:37] It says"Now you need to edit the /etc/default/grub file to fit your system" but it doesn't say what to edit in the file.

[21:43] I have some serious issues with a md raid 5 array. Several drives have been getting DMA errors and such for a while, so I'm trying to get all the data to another server, but now all of the sudden the raid broke and when I try to reassemble it I get the error "/dev/md1 assembled from 6 drives - not enough to start the array.", even though all 8 drives are added and available.

[21:44] Agent_Smith, here's the default: http://paste.ubuntu.com/455618/ Found it here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Manually_add_repositories (just didnt copy the medibuntu & google repos) [21:45] Oer: Pirate_Hunter thanks It seems at least with handbrake I can read in all of the video formats and audio streams then at least export them to a usable format for other programs :D [21:45] My WM doesn't do startup notification, but Gnome waits on it anyway. That causes a timeout, which is annoying because my WM starts up, then nothing happens for 5 seconds, then Gnome starts. [21:45] coffee sounds good --- sorry, OT :-\ [21:45] gnome-session says this: gnome-session[2128]: WARNING: Application 'stumpwm.desktop' failed to register before timeout [21:45] I know it doesn't register.

[22:17] halvors: and for fast building use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot for he final build use pbuilder [22:17] No grapical ui?

[22:19] Incarnation, it's all good :) just trying to keep it clean in here [22:19] augustl: search compiz settings manager, it's in there [22:19] Sa[i]nT: what do you actually need? [22:19] neezer, Jump in, the water's fine. You might prefer writing scripts in Perl; it's more powerful/flexible and perhaps easier to grasp. [22:20] I understand, I can barely keep up with the flow of text myself... real eyesore. [22:20] So how make a .deb from ui? [22:20] halvors: you can do things also from the gui [22:20] augustl, I'm not sure what you mean...but are you trying to use the windows key to open your menu? [22:20] SlidingHorn: no, I'm trying to swap the menu key and the windows key :) [22:20] halvors: creae he files wih the (gui)-edior you like [22:20] neezer, The general answer to all questions of the form "How do I do X and Y" when both X and Y are already built stuff is to write a script. [22:20] the menu key is the odd one with the mouse cursor on it ;) [22:20] it seems it was ubuntu preventing a ddos attack... [22:20] So HOWTO BUILD A DEB FROM GUI?? [22:20] halvors: it's not ui, but checkinstall is easy to make a .deb with. [22:20] I'm missing clutter-1.0 now. Can't seem to find the right package to install in Ubuntu 10.04...Any suggestions? [22:20] halvors: man dh_make [22:21] a gui? [22:21] halvors: again, what do you mean by "making a deb"? Writing a package, or building an existing package? [22:21] Incarnation, so what happens currently when you connect the quickcam? checking the last few lines of dmesg, what driver gets loaded when you plug it in? [22:21] halvors: why need a gui for the manpage? [22:21] it was targeting my bro's pc i think.. [22:21] codebrainz: how do I check what gets loaded? I don't understand [22:21] Writing a new package... [22:21] diferance: do you have an actual ubuntu support question? [22:22] slart excuse me? i'm currently working with somone to resolve this here [22:22] Incarnation, unplug the cam, replug it, wait 10 seconds maybe and then run "dmesg | tail -n 20" [22:22] halvors: what is it you want to write a package for? [22:22] halvors: before building read the help,so that you know what "control, rules" and so on is [22:22] xiong, I figured as much, but I don't even know how handbrake would say that it is done...i suppose i could continuously monitor some variable that handbrake would set when it is done, and use beep to sound when the variable changes, but I would have no idea how to even start. [22:22] diferance: then you might want to put their nick first on the lines you write.. like you did now [22:22] julian__: if you're compiling always search for the -dev packages of dependencies, e.g. libclutter-1.0-dev [22:22] halvors: are you building a package from source, and what to make it a .deb file? [22:22] hi, anyone knows how to run a gtk application on the a remote desktop on bash(ssh)? [22:23] slart 0.o [22:23] diferance: otherwise it will all get very confusing and people will assume you're just talking to yourself [22:23] halvors: and dh_make is creating the package structure so you dont have to write the files by hand [22:23] xD yes ty slart [22:23] I'm having problem with I/O of the hardrive SATA. I even changed the hard drive and it still there. It makes the system slowing down and it even makes hang the system for seconds. What could it be ? [22:23] neezer, Not that hard. In your script, just execute handbrake. Test the exit value if you like, then sound an alarm. [22:24] test the exit value?

How is it with options against the dock on a mac? [22:26] * psusi wonders what that was all about [22:26] lvh -- a lot of users aren't really big ICQ users, so they may not have their nicks registered [22:26] mikubuntu: you can install several versions of firefox at the same time, or find a .tar.gz of the one you want, extract where you like and run from there [22:26] mikibuntu: installing a firefox repository won't override your ubuntu firefox install. they will exist side by side so you will be fine just using a current firefox repo [22:26] <_ath> *IRC [22:26] herro everyone [22:26] <_ath> when trying to start X using the fglrx provided for 10.04 in xorg.conf, the entire machine freezes and has to be reboot by powercycling, it doesn't get far enough to write anything to the logfile, anyone got any ideas?

[22:27] no but i find asian females highly interesting [22:27] i am new to linux but have used ms win dows for many years, windowws has anti virus stuff but how do i keep safe with ubuntu ? [22:27] mw_netbook, you said herro instead of hello :P. Anyways whats the issue? [22:27] mw_netbook: by not bothering about it [22:27] mw_netbook: stay safe with ubuntu by installing ubuntu. problem solved. [22:27] i am new to linux but have used ms win dows for many years, windowws has anti virus stuff but how do i keep safe with ubuntu ? [22:27] search [22:27] Procule, I really don't know what your issue would be. I only suggested that it was the cable or the motherboard because you said that you had the same issue with two different HDDs [22:27] mw_netbook: keep your system up to date.. that should be enough for now [22:28] just a n00b with linux so i am not sure how to stay safe from malware virus stuff [22:28] vcoolio, is there some special repos for ubuntu that would contain the nightly build or beta that would be updated with the update manager? [22:28] <_ath> mw_netbook: don't go executing shellscripts / binaries from anyone/where.. [22:28] mw_netbook, you dont need much as far home user goes, use a firewall e.f. firestarter, clamav and thats all... and don't browse p*rn sites. [22:28] mikubuntu: yes, there is; on launchpad.net probably, let me search [22:28] <_ath> mw_netbook: also, check if there are any services running you don't need. [22:28] mw_netbook, never run a command anyone tells you to unless you are sure. [22:28] vcoolio, someone in #firefox said to ask here for the ppa's [22:28] firestarter eh ? ty [22:29] mw_netbook, Probably not a problem. [22:29] RCN Corporation was the source of the attacks [22:29] SlidingHorn, ok thanks. I know linux a lot but that I can't find the issue. it's like the more I use the HD, the more the system slows. Even my xmms stops when the system is too I/Oing the Hd [22:29] don't start fires [22:29] mw_netbook, most people will tell you that you don't need an anti-virus with Linux. I, personally find that to be a little irresponsible, but it doesn't necessarily make them wrong. You can use programs like clamav for AV protection and Ubuntu comes with ufw (uncomplicated firewall) which you can configure using a GUI like Firestarted [22:29] mw_netbook, yes, thats the GUI firewall, easy and simple... though for a normal home user using such stuff would be overkill. [22:29] mw_netbook, firestarter** not firestarted [22:29] mikubuntu: ppa for what¿¿ firefox 3.6.4 ¿¿ [22:29] mikubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa looks like it [22:29] diferance: does your bro's pc have high value information on it? I don't understand what help you are trying to seek [22:29] <_ath> Error404NotFound: no, it's not overkill. [22:29] thank you all for your advice, it is appreciated [22:30] mw_netbook, That's good advice. When running a new command for the first time, or if you don't understand what you're doing, first 'man command' and see what it does. [22:30] VCoolio: that's not stahble, mikubuntu this is https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/%2Barchive/firefox-stable [22:30] SlidingHorn: who cares, it takes three seconds and I think you can change the message so it tells people exactly what to do. [22:30] <_ath> Error404NotFound: the sheer amount of 'normal home user's that have their boxes rooted without even knowing it [22:30] <_ath> is astonishing [22:30] _ath, for a user who switches from windows where he is used to "Enable/disable" it is, and most people don't need it. [22:30] collinp: Sure, but how many of those are too dumb to use nickserv and how many of them never did because nobody made them? :-) [22:30] mikubuntu: wrong ppa again :S now THIS is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/%2Barchive/ppa/ [22:30] mw_netbook, It's very hard for someone to invade your Ubuntu machine unless you open the door to it yourself. [22:30] _ath, your and my definition of normal users differ :P 9th OSI layer problem. [22:30] lvh: Well... [22:31] mw_netbook: your best answers will probably come from doing searches on the net. there is too much to explain why security on linux is a different scope than on winblows [22:31] lvh: I think it would be a good idea, honestly....just saying that's probably the reason they haven't done it [22:31] lvh: Not very many of the former, and many of the latter :).

[23:08] !checkinstall | SlidingHorn [23:08] SlidingHorn: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[23:14] oy vay ! lol [23:14] CkhiKuzad: which one? [23:14] Vcoolio:i know how to extract but after,make ,install dont work [23:15] dear Flannel: the link u send to me, is for log in or for any command in terminal after log in [23:15] i think lenny. [23:15] ? [23:15] Flannel: ok, so i tell the new OS to overwrite the MBR and i'll be good? [23:15] CkhiKuzad: which command isn't working? [23:15] fsck [23:15] so I just burned my self a lubuntu live CD and am tring it out but I tried the disk check and it said it had one defect but it still is running fine so far in the live CD what do you guys think [23:15] tm512: That's one way to do it. [23:15] usf: what´s the error message (use pastebin if it's long) [23:15] tm512: That assumes the new OS automatically sticks your old OS entries into its bootloader, which many do [23:15] Do you think I should just try to install with the disk or make a new one [23:16] Flannel: it's arch linux [23:16] forge_, in *my* humble opinion, you should probably make a new disk with no defects...i think it'd be asking for trouble otherwise [23:16] Uboy: You follow that link while booting, and then you can reset the password. Is this your account? or someone else's account? [23:16] tm512, I'd try asking in #archlinux -- there's more focused support for the OS there :) [23:16] tm512: I'm not familiar enough with arch to know whether it does or not for sure, but most do. [23:16] CkhiKuzad: might have to be root to see and execute [23:16] VCoolio:make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop [23:16] SlidingHorn, yeah your right why mess something up from the start [23:16] vcoolio and xangua, so in terminal like this?: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa && sudo apt-get update [23:16] tootoot222: then what is it suposed to look like if i change it ?can you change it and post it to paestebin ? [23:16] usf: do ./autogen.sh or ./configure first [23:17] I just compiled gimp.2.6.9 and when I try to run it, it can't find its shared library that are in /usr/local/lib. Anybody know how I can tell gimp where they are? [23:17] ok theres no entry for /boot under fstab [23:17] mikubuntu: yes [23:17] tootoot222: i know i'm asking alot of you sorry [23:17] thune, i did su, then did the command [23:18] Flannel: this is only account that created during installing Ubuntu, after following that ways, my commands with sudo prefix can work? and the password i use for that way use here? [23:18] i can't boot my raid 1 array with new kernels, what should i look for in fixing it? [23:18] sheff: pastebin the output of ``sudo fdisk -l'' and ``ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid'' and i can [23:18] vcoolio, after i add this then i reload synaptic and look for the nitely build or betas? [23:18] root@HackBox:/home/ckhikuzad# fsck /dev/hda1 [23:18] fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) [23:18] e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) [23:18] /dev/hda1: clean, 287744/6086656 files, 8018409/24320394 blocks [23:18] CkhiKuzad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:18] ok [23:18] net [23:18] i know, automated inanimate Bot. thune3, it seems normal now for some reason. [23:19] mikubuntu: yes, then you look for what packages you like, e.g. firefox-3.7, it will pick up some xulrunner dependencies too [23:19] how do I get info about a package - whether it's installed, its version, in a simplest way, in Terminal? [23:19] Uboy: The password you set up for that account is the password you'll use from that account to use sudo. You said you need to set that password (I presume because you've forgotten it). That page will explain how to set it, but you'll need to reboot. [23:19] VCoolio:./configure:bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [23:19] Gryllida: apt-cache policy package-name [23:19] Hi, how do i remove the trash icon from the Nautilus side panel? [23:19] Gryllida: apt-cache policy package, for example [23:19] vcoolio, kool, thx [23:19] !root | CkhiKuzad [23:19] CkhiKuzad: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:19] guntbert, i know what my root password is [23:20] usf: try ./autogen.sh or read the README, else check the homepage of what you're installing, it maybe something with python or waf or what do I know [23:20] CkhiKuzad: run: e2fsck -f /dev/hda1 : and do you have other filesystems that ubuntu checks on startup? [23:20] CkhiKuzad, I thought the root password and account is disabled by defualt [23:20] VCoolio, Flannel - how do I get OS version in Terminal? [23:20] Ok, Thanks Flannel, I do that and come back again If any problems exists again. I love IRC! [23:20] Gryllida: lsb_release -a [23:20] CkhiKuzad: sorry, it was the wrong factoid - I wanted to say: we do not support having a root password set [23:20] Uboy: sounds good [23:20] hello [23:20] I have donde a pastebin folk [23:20] in django [23:21] forge_ i am on Debian, i made it work, thune3, i have swap space, guntbert, its ok. [23:21] Ok, I have an issue. Tried to load Ubuntu to an IDE drive and it somehow attached grub to a storage SATA drive on my Win 7 system The IDE drive is out, but the SATA drive is not allowing Win 7 to boot - I have disconnected the drive so I can run Win 7 - how do I clear Grub from this drive? [23:21] VCoolio ./autogen.sh is not recognized,gonna read the readme file [23:21] in case you want to have your own pastebin platform instead of using ubuntu.pastebin.com [23:21] !ot | wwarrior [23:21] you can test it here notas.canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve [23:21] wwarrior: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[23:27] i will be back when it fails. [23:27] If you are in a directory that has 10 directories, each is a folder containing a few files for black berry apps. I want to zip each one of those folders in their seperate zip files, what command can i run to do this? I don't want to zip all into a massive file, i'd like each directory and it's files to become a zip file [23:27] CkhiKuzad: good luck, i'll be here [23:28] sebsebseb, It shouldnt have anything to do with separators. It just expands to the left with blank space, cramming my system monitor towards my global menu. I'll try the commands though. [23:28] is there no way to remove some of the static booksmarks in nautilus? [23:29] how do I clear Grub, it loaded to a SATA storage drive somehow and is effecting my Windows boot drive - I already tried repair with Win 7 dvd [23:29] what does ubuntu 9.10 use to populate /dev ?

[23:38] Hello from Marietta, GA (USA) [23:38] sebsebseb, I didn't asked for that information, so obviously you got the wrong person. [23:38] I ran fsck on it and it checked out good. When I delete more stuff it does not free up space. Anybody have any guesses on what to try next aside from a formatting? [23:38] alasca : oh k..

[23:48] ownsyouall: then your Ubuntu install won't just work at all or properly [23:48] ownsyouall, i've 115gb in my encrypted home [23:48] clayg, type this into your terminal and it should tell you all about it: man tar [23:49] mikubuntu: you don't care [23:49] ownsyouall: so really you would need to probably create a new home folder that isn't encrypted [23:49] ownsyouall: since in home isn't just data, its program user data [23:49] Hi :) I just upgraded to kubuntu 10.4 x64 and downloaded the NVIDIA driver for the Geeforce 9 series. However when i tried to install it it complained about "unable to find nvidia.ko module" A quick google search revelaed that adding -k $(uname -r) would let me complete the installation; and it did but now i rebooted and am stuck with no GUI. (I'm using irssi) [23:49] so it would be better just to create a new account? [23:49] <^xellos^> sebsebseb,: after re-install still same problems can play flsh obj. however objects on flash i.e. not working when i try ti ckicj in them [23:49] clayg: should be just "zip -r $i $i" as command [23:49] mikubuntu: only difference is, unbranded has a code name, branded will be called firefox [23:49] please help me fix it!! [23:49] you encypted te home folder lol [23:49] ^xellos^: which version of Ubuntu? [23:49] ownsyouall, with a new account i can solve it? [23:50] ownsyouall: right so this is for when /home is in / which it would be in a default install of Ubuntu [23:50] ownsyouall: and without encryption of course, however even so this might be useful [23:50] <^xellos^> sebsebseb,: 9.10 [23:50] vcoolio, well my regular firefox is called firefox, so unbranded is better, yes? except i don't know the current codename [23:50] Flannel I'm back [23:50] k im going to try it then [23:50] !home | ownsyouall [23:50] ownsyouall: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept.

I'm not able to login and I desperatly need to keep my configuration and all the stuff in /home [23:52] Flannel! [23:52] hey [23:52] Alan502, run this in your terminal: /etc/init.d/gdm restart (that should allow you to login and will get your GUI started if I remember correctly) [23:52] hiexpo: indeed ^xellos^ should probably leave it alone really, since messing with it, isn't a good idea [23:52] marcuy, are you italian? [23:52] hiexpo: unless they know what they are doing properly of course [23:52] hey guys [23:52] thune3, you would have to manual type each directory that will become zipped? can it just name the zip the name of the directories? lets say you are in /games and in it are /tennis /soccer /shooting game [23:53] sebsebseb, exactly [23:53] hi doesn't ubuntu give you a recovery boot option? [23:53] thune3, is there any way it will just create tennis.zip soccer.zip shootinggame.zip ? [23:53] ^xellos^: hiexpo makes a good point, encrypted homes can really mess up Ubuntu for people that shoudn't have them really, and don't know what they are donig properly with partitions [23:53] what is CLI equivalent of ubuntu "Startup Disk Creator" ? dd maybe? [23:53] ace_, yes...when booting hold shift to bring up the Grub menu & select recovery mode [23:53] ace_ : it dose..!
