(my system does't authentificate my password for sudo, Software Source and..., I use lucid) [00:00] sebsebseb: so i have to remove the nvidia driver from grub? [00:00] I need a driver for ipw9345 and it's in non-free source , can somebody point me in the right direction??? [00:00] gionnico, to my knowledge you need to use the USB/Startup Disk Creator thing to create Persistant USB drives [00:00] duffydack: dd will not give me free space for documents, will it? [00:00] sebsebseb, just one example i have 1200 dvds and it took me 2 weeks to build a data base of them i do not want to do that again lol a back up took 30 secs and have used it twice already lol [00:00] Alan502: well you can't log in at all at the moment right? [00:00] ZykoticK9: but i dont use ubuntu [00:00] SlidingHorn, i've a lot of gb on it [00:00] an equivalent tool for any distro? [00:00] gionnico, so you want persistence.. ok then.. there are guides to making casper-rw out there, google. [00:00] sebsebseb: i can with a cli [00:01] sebsebseb: i just changed tty [00:01] hiexpo: right well data CD's and DVD's don't last forever, so well every like two years or so, you should make new ones really [00:01] gionnico, could you use a LiveCD to create the USB image perhaps? [00:01] Tootoot222: Yeah I know that much. I don't want the script to be modified by anyone but me if it ever needs to be. [00:01] ZykoticK9: heh no really. if i created a livecd then i would use it [00:01] Alan502: right, but you can log in, but only to command line? [00:01] where can I change my pass without insert old pass? (my system does't authentificate my password for sudo, Software Source and..., I use lucid) [00:01] Tootoot222: What about the GRUB issue? [00:01] i dont have a empty CD rom now [00:01] ^xellos^: uhmm [00:01] !persistent [00:01] sebsebseb: yes [00:01] ^xellos^: still Flash issue right? [00:01] Uboy: as root you can [00:01] Alan502: yeah its messed up [00:01] sebsebseb: can i remove the driver from the command lne? [00:01] microcluster, unfortunately there's no way to do that, if I remember correctly. It's always suggested that you keep an unencrypted backup if you choose to encrypt your home directory [00:02] Alan502: time to try recovery mode [00:02] iceroot How? [00:02] microcluster, see here for more information: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder [00:02] Alan502: uh yeah with the correct command sure, but not sure which that is, anyway recovery mode will let you do it I guess [00:02] clayg: for i in $(ls); do zip -r $i.zip $i; done <-- my last stab at it [00:02] SlidingHorn, ok thanks [00:02] sebsebseb: ok i'll reboot and try [00:02] Uboy: sudo -i and then passwd theusername [00:03] Alan502: I think theres an option xfix or something like that still [00:03] Alan502: if not well you need command to remove it [00:03] Uboy: maybe sudo passwd username is also working [00:03] Alan502: or I think theres still a fixing xorg ooption [00:03] duffydack: i see it's easy [00:03] just loopmount the iso, create the empty file of right size and format it ext3 [00:03] i want to get mozilla thunderbird working but it exits. whenever thunderbird connects to aim/aol server to update mails, it happens. this works well when i add mail accounts from gmail, hotmail, etc. any clues? thank you. [00:04] <^xellos^> sebsebseb,: thanks for help, i will do a fresh 10.1 install [00:04] Tootoot222: I also got the grub issue. I'll be back shortly after I test a reboot and test my script. [00:04] ^xellos^: you could do yeah [00:04] gionnico, use a virtualbox install to make the cd/usb, or use portable ubuntu (not sure it`d work never tried) [00:04] ^xellos^: or just upgrade to it [00:04] iceroot when i type sudo -i, the system want form me the password and when i insert that, system say password wrong [00:04] Uboy: did you change hosts file and not hostname file or other way round? check if /etc/hosts contains correct hostname [00:04] sebsebseb, i have never heard that before that the life on a cd/dvd is only two years / i was refering to a library [00:04] duffydack: no looks like loop mount and dd is all what i need [00:04] ^xellos^: good idea to check your CD ISO before using by the way [00:04] Uboy: then insert the correct password [00:04] !md5sum | ^xellos^ [00:04] ^xellos^: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:05] Uboy: its the password from your current logged in user [00:05] sebsebseb: ummm google? [00:05] hiexpo: not 2 years well it can be [00:05] hiexpo: they tend to last like 5 or 7 or maybe 10 years, apparantly [00:05] hiexpo: I mean CD R DVD R [00:05] iceroot i know, but the system does't accept this! [00:05] hiexpo: CD RW DVD RW [00:05] Uboy: but you are logged in with the user and password [00:06] * duffydack has a cd that still reads that he wrote back in 1996 [00:06] hiexpo: and after a while the disc doesn't work as well as it used to [00:06] sebsebseb: there's a command named xfig and another one named xmix [00:06] hiexpo: depends though on the CD/DVD [00:06] sebsebseb, true [00:06] Uboy: so i am sure you have misstyped the password, using capslock,different keyboard-layout or something like that [00:06] its also a cheap nasty disc and totally transparent in its dye :) [00:07] Tootoot222: Thank you very much for the help the script works perfectly. Stupid realtek wifi cards. [00:07] iceroot I'm surprised, the main problem and joke is here, in login window, the system dont wanna me the password, but in any command after login and sudo, want me! [00:07] Uboy: you have autologin enabled as it seems [00:08] duffydack: well I got a lot of old CD's here, that I want to go through, that will take a long time, and most of them haven't been looked after properly, and I have no idea what is on them, since not labbeled, quite a lot will be blank CDs in fact. and yeah throw out what I don't want. A bit like how I got a lot of papers here, that I want to go through and get rid of what I don't want, but not done it again yet. [00:09] iceroot ok, but waht can i do now? [00:09] ^xellos^, place iso in home folder right click on it click properties copy top line /name of it / close it / no changes / open terminal type md5sum paste what you copied and get the output/ compare to ubuntu's iso md5 [00:09] Uboy: remember your password [00:09] any command with sudo needs password and I don't have that [00:09] Uboy: have a look at /var/log/auth.log about th error-message [00:09] may somebody help me? how do i change the splash screen on ubunutu? [00:09] I know that successfully [00:09] somebody help me getting my kubuntu again! [00:09] iceroot: Couldn't he sudo -s and change the password through bash using the root account? [00:09] Uboy: sudo wants your user-password [00:09] hiexpo: to late they left [00:09] ricky_goop, leave it alone [00:10] oh well [00:10] soadkombucha: that is what i am telling him but he forgotten his userpassword [00:10] hiexpo: why?

Does Thunderbird support AOL Mail connections? [00:11] thanks [00:11] hiexpo: but there is a lot of splash images to download [00:12] ricky_goop, how long do u have to look at it 15 secs who cares if it's not broke no need to fix it [00:12] soadkombucha: this channel isn't really the best for Thunderbird help, theres irc.mozilla.org mozillazine.org forum [00:12] how do I disable tcp6 in 10.4 ? [00:12] soadkombucha: not sure what you mean by support but i it does help me config the smtp, imap, and port when i enter the name@aim.com [00:12] sebsebseb: Anvoid was asking a question. === marcos_ is now known as Daekdroom [00:13] Anvoid: Take sebsebseb's adive and try the Mozilla IRC [00:13] Anvoid: You're on a software-wide issue, not a system-wide issue dealing with thunderbird [00:13] ricky_goop, \ you can google it and find out how if u want to but don't say i didn't warn you cause i guarantee you will crash and lose boot [00:13] soadkombucha: AOL mail would either be POP or IMAP, so yes, it will. [00:13] hiexpo: okay... and where i can learn about these things that is not meant to be changed? [00:13] Flannel: It's IMAP [00:13] Anvoid: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#aol [00:13] soadkombucha: Then yes, thunderbird supports IMAP [00:13] Flannel: I know. that's why I use it. [00:13] there must be a lot of thing like this [00:13] yo yo yo [00:13] is there a way to reinstall/recover ubuntu using the install disk?

[00:14] hiexpo: XD [00:14] anigma: One thing you can do is move /home to a separate partition, and then reinstall Ubuntu around it. [00:14] ricky_goop, yep no prob [00:14] anigma: Boot into recovery mode and "cp -r" the /home/username directory to a different drive [00:14] !separatehome | anigma [00:14] anigma: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept.

[00:58] <_ath> aretrfre34: that's a pretty bad guideline.. [00:58] Uboy: yeah you are supposed to see that menu upon choosing recovery mode in grub, but you said you aren't getting anywhere. Do you have more than one kernel installed to just try recovery mode on a different version? [00:58] Typos_King: I use all of them. I don't WANT to have Flash installed but I'm still on firefox for now I just installed Chrome. Thankfully they have internal flash in the stable builds now [00:58] Is Amarok KDE?

[00:59] vexille: no one kernak [00:59] ok it just started working [00:59] using 10.04 [01:00] cntrational: That's why I was curious. Because I was having issues before. [01:00] NetScr1be: What did you select differently ? [01:00] soadkombucha: they do not afaik, I got chrome recently, didn't come with flash, you can always just get the libflashplayer.so file by itself or extract it from the .zip for installation and drop it at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and chrome/opera/firefox use that [01:00] soadkombucha: it'll take up more RAM to run programs like that, though, since they'd have to load more stuff [01:00] Typos_King: Is not not on Debian based linux yet? [01:00] Typos_King: I know internal flash is on Windows [01:00] <_ath> cntrational: at the moment that's largely irrelevant [01:01] <_ath> and soon to be entirely. [01:01] soadkombucha: ubuntu is, yes [01:01] aretrfre34: see this page > http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage Upper page I'm sent is wrong [01:01] _ath: is it? [01:01] dominicdinada, that's the weird part - it just started working [01:01] <_ath> cntrational: yes. [01:01] lfitz: I'm not sure I understand your setup, but the difference is between notify-osd and notification-daemon [01:01] Typos_King: I know Chrome is, but they haven't released stable with internal flash yet. [01:01] soadkombucha: exaile is a amarok inspired music player for GNOME [01:01] dominicdinada, actually I 6ook etho down [01:01] took [01:01] cntrational: If Amarok decides to continue being odd I'll use it. I was upset when they discontinued songbird support for Linux. [01:02] Uboy:ok, see, how many reasonable people around [01:02] <_ath> NetScr1be: you did ifconfig eth0 down [01:02] soadkombucha: chrome is debian based? not sure on that, I know is based on Chromium the browser [01:02] <_ath> and it came up by itself? [01:02] Typos_King: They have a debian release for Chrome [01:02] soadkombucha: cntrational there is also the default rythmbox [01:02] Typos_King: chrome.google.com gives you a download [01:02] laptop hasn't /dev/radio0 is it means i cant play radio? [01:02] lfitz: notify-osd is the ubuntu one [01:02] dominicdinada: I hate rythmbox [01:02] Uboy: try this guide for using a livecd to reset your password http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/ [01:02] _ath: what's going to happen that it'll become irrelavant [01:02] <_ath> aretrfre34: yes. [01:02] wanna fun [01:03] soadkombucha: surely, that doesn't mean is debian based per se,but I see what you mean, either way, the libflashplayer.so drag/drop will work just the same :) [01:03] soadkombucha: To each their own I hate vlc and totem as well [01:03] matt____: the partitions may have been automatically mounted when you plugged in the device. In this case you need to unmount them first. [01:03] <_ath> cntrational: the cost of manufacturing hardware is continuing on the same course it has been; not only that, higher level frameworks are, with extra resources, becoming excellent at handling them. [01:03] soadkombucha, Typos_King: You can also take a look at Chromium, which is in the repos -- in my *personal experience* it has worked better than the actual chrome [01:03] one thing that annoys me about rhythmbox and exaile is that you can't play a single song, it has to be part of a playlist [01:04] did i miss much i was in pentoo [01:04] _ath:a lot of reasonable people or i cant play real radio? [01:04] * Typos_King uses mainly Opera :) [01:04] SlidingHorn: Chrome stable is working well. There is only one difference between Chrome and chromium. Well two. [01:04] <_ath> cntrational: soon enough, for running Qt apps on windows, or kde apps on gnome, 'it uses up more memory' won't mean anything. [01:04] SlidingHorn: Chrome and Chromium have a different colored logo, and Chrome has the google tracking app. Otherwise they're identical. [01:04] Uboy: The steps should be similar to what you were using as a guide before, but this just uses the livecd to mount your hard drive and chroot to it so yo ucan perform the same steps as in the guide you posted [01:04] <_ath> cntrational: and in a lot of cases, it does now. [01:04] I need to compile enlightenment er17... [01:04] Typos_King, Don't like Firefox? [01:04] <_ath> aretrfre34: if you don't have a radio device, you cannot 'play' radio. [01:04] alasca: In my experience firefox can hog resources. [01:05] is chrome better that firefox? [01:05] hiexpo: Depends. [01:05] !best | hiexpo [01:05] hiexpo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:05] <_ath> aretrfre34: i don't know how to simplify that any more. [01:05] :) [01:05] Firefox doesn't take up that much resources if you restart it every now and then [01:05] hiexpo: Chrome separates each tab into a separate process, so if you use LOTS of tabs, Chrome has benefits. It's Javascript is faster too. [01:05] Vexille: ok, I read that know and i got it, before it, can u answer a questuin > I change a portion of file with this instruction> http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage > is it my fault? [01:05] soadkombucha, Yes, this is right...firefox is a bit greedy on resources...sadly... [01:05] and try not to have a million tabs open [01:05] (cursed tvtropes) [01:05] hiexpo: But Opera 5 has benchmarked JS speed tests at 25% faster than Chromium 6 Developer [01:05] <_ath> hiexpo: i've personally found chrome to run faster under nix and windows. [01:05] _ath:got it, just wanted some fun, compiled for mplayer source rised core cpu 100C, isn't funny now! [01:06] SlidingHorn, - don'tsend me the bot best lol i knew that was gonna happen === has_ is now known as HebertSilva [01:06] vexille: for configuring fingerprint sensor [01:06] alasca: have it installed too, chrome/firefox lack the flexibility Opera has for a few things, window manipulations and other stuff, their beta1 10.6 is quite good [01:06] <_ath> aretrfre34: then remove it and recompile it without that radio make flag. [01:06] Typos_King: There is one thing I dislike about Chrome over Firefox. [01:06] <_ath> aretrfre34: if you compiled it yourself you should probably know that. [01:06] cesc, hey guy did you need something? [01:06] Typos_King: Greasemonkey for firefox, the userscripts for chrome don't support unsignedwindow or the gm_* values. So you can't run ALL userscripts in chrome. [01:06] _ath:noo, fun was to hack! [01:07] <_ath> aretrfre34: then enjoy your short lived processor. [01:07] Switching to Chrome [01:08] in my experience chromium starts faster but hogs more ressources than firefox [01:08] chrome is pretty fast under linux [01:08] !everyone | don't send me bot stuff i help here too looll [01:08] <_ath> avelldiroll: agreed, under nix anyway, either way, i've found it performs faster on both nix / win platforms [01:08] That's better. [01:08] <_ath> unfortunately it doesn't quite have the plugin support firefox has. [01:09] <_ath> which is probably the biggest deciding factor for most people to whom these things matter. [01:09] _ath: Not completely true. [01:09] thune3: Thanks! That worked. Many thanks. [01:09] <_ath> soadkombucha: what isn't. [01:09] _ath: There are lots of plugins for Chrome that perform really nice functions [01:09] _ath: And the extension gallery is growing fast [01:09] <_ath> soadkombucha: yes, there are, but theres lots more for firefox, that perform better, most of the time. [01:09] <_ath> soadkombucha: but we're in the present. [01:09] _ath: and lacks configuration flexibility, I checked all available options, I think I can count them to less than 50 hehehe [01:10] _ath: The only extensions I found to work better than firefox, are google extensions [01:10] <_ath> soadkombucha: reread what i said. [01:10] Typos_King: Pretty much everything lacks configuration flexibility over firefox's about:config [01:10] Typos_King: have you looked at about:config within FF? [01:10] Nothing is as configurable as Firefox [01:11] soadkombucha: :) [01:11] greezmunkey: Trust me, I love Firefox, I actually converted almost everyone I know to it. But I'm a heavy tab user, so Chrome works better for me. [01:11] _ath: as for the plugin support FireFox is 7 years old and chrome really is like a year old from stable builds... [01:11] dominicdinada: And developing more rapidly than firefox ever has [01:12] greezmunkey: yes, doesn't compare to Opera's, opera has countless options, thus the flexibility I use :), doesn't hog the memory like FF and runs smooth enough, chrome uses less than half memory Opera does, but is pretty configurationless [01:12] <_ath> dominicdinada: correct. the question wasn't, 'what browser will be better in perhaps a year or two?' [01:12] <_ath> dominicdinada: as i said, we're not time travellers, and we're arguing about the present state. [01:12] Typos_King: But Chrome doesn't need too much configuration out of the box in my opinion. [01:12] soadkombucha: Correct... so plugins are not all built for chrome but will be ported since FF is playing the catchup game :D [01:12] well...that was fun [01:12] dominicdinada: the browser war is becoming negligible anyways. [01:13] The only browser I say don't use is any IE-based browser [01:13] Uboy: I am unfamiliar with anything involving setting up fingerprint readers. The info there states it will try to read your fingerprint first before using your password, so if that is true then I imagine it isn't supposed to make your login stop working, but liek I said I am unfamiliar with is so who knows :( [01:13] <_ath> soadkombucha: I'd also say don't use konqueror [01:13] Since I got my fonts looking right (removing that damn ttf-msttfonts package) I`m using chromium [01:13] <_ath> and i'm a kde fanboy. [01:13] _ath: What engine does it run off of? [01:13] soadkombucha: It is not a war as google and FF are allies, But when Chrome dropped it is the fastest thing out, and FF said they moving to a new javascript core [01:13] <_ath> soadkombucha: christ knows, probably dolphin, the kde explorer. [01:13] <_ath> it's kde's equivalent of IE. [01:14] soadkombucha: depends on what you do, for plain browsing, no, true, for one thing, I have flash off, and turn it on whenever I need it, like for a clip or news ticker or other stuff, in Opera is just 2 clicks for that, there's no such in chrome/ff [01:14] soadkombucha: Some websites still force IE :( but thats what plugins are for [01:14] _ath, thats not a good advertisement [01:14] heh [01:14] _ath: Ahh. I like Nautilus [01:14] <_ath> duffydack: from personal use i've found it to be a terrible browser. [01:14] how do i get info about how old is cpu [01:14] hi [01:14] i'm sticking to firefox than [01:14] _ath: imo dolphin is was to bloated,resource hungry [01:14] aretrfre34: how old? what do you mean? [01:14] <_ath> dominicdinada: can't agree with you there. [01:15] how much memory do you reccomend for a caching only bind9 server for 2 users on a LAN? [01:15] hey does anyone know hoow to turn off motion [01:15] dominicdinada: Or you just use useragents [01:15] <_ath> i was just saying konqueror is a shitty browser. [01:15] konqueror is KHTML [01:15] to turn it on was sudo motion how do i turn it off [01:15] Google chrome and Safari are KHTML forks due to Webkit === Weust` is now known as Weust`afk [01:15] I`ll use Chromium daily. It starts before I even de-press the mouse button and loads pages hella fast [01:15] duffydack: I use Chrome, but that's because google owns my internet life and it integrates nicely with google [01:16] <_ath> To those with ati driver experience, please have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1518556 [01:16] soadkombucha: When I was in school websites for the school and resources where based around IE for example the online blackboards. Cbtnuggets.com etc... would only work with IE [01:16] <_ath> dominicdinada: cbtnuggets lol [01:16] Haha [01:16] I need to restart chrome [01:16] N3VV3K: I guess I don't use 'motion', soooo dunno [01:16] "cbtnuggets"? what's that [01:16] <_ath> cntrational: it's a like, service that provides learning resources for technical subjects [01:16] <_ath> cntrational: ie, 'passing your CCNA [01:16] <_ath> ' [01:16] _ath, I have an ati 4650 working fine.. mates 36xx works fine too [01:17] is it good [01:17] Typos_King:i mean assembly time [01:17] how much memory do you reccomend for a caching only bind9 server for 2 users on a LAN?v [01:17] cntrational: some dumb videos our profs made us watch because the school paid like $20,000 per semester for use [01:17] <_ath> duffydack: thanks for taking a look. and fuck.

[01:21] is this the right to set eth0 to dhcp? auto eth0 (CR LF) iface etho inet dynamic [01:21] what's enlightenment [01:21] how do I report a bug for this if i'm not sure which package or kernel update to report the bug on? [01:21] cntrational: window manager [01:21] enlightment is a desktop [01:21] right way [01:21] hiexpo: Yup. [01:21] cntrational: It's beta. [01:22] beta? [01:22] cntrational: http://enlightenment.org/ [01:22] hi, can I update my network manager on ubuntu 8.04 to the one found in 9.10 and later so I can visually edit networks? [01:22] version 5 I think is in beta, olders' aren't :P [01:22] vodl: not easilly, and trying to might brake your system [01:22] Typos_King: I'm installing e17 [01:22] hi guys.. which button or button combination should I press to see all my windows side by side without overlapping? [01:22] vodl: well your not meant to install from 9.10 repo [01:23] vodl: why not just upgrade to 9.10, it has untill the end of April next year when it comes to support just like 8.04 [01:23] Typos_King: My friend's friend writes a blog, and he has a REALLY easy tutorial (plus a shell script) to get enlightenment running: http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/05/howto-install-e17-from-svnsource-on.html [01:23] 8.04 LTS ranout didnt it :O [01:23] by window manager, do you mean something like GNOME or X11? [01:23] dominicdinada: not yet [01:23] dominicdinada: Shouldn't have it's only been 2 years [01:23] vodl: for the desktop [01:23] And some of the packages have 5 year support [01:23] pentoo uses an enlightment desktop as in referancce [01:23] soadkombucha: only the server edition [01:23] i need the 8.04 version of wine to run some window apps, that's what"s keeping me from upgrading [01:24] soadkombucha: to get enlightment running? hehe, there's nothing to it AFAIK, I used to run it in SuSE10, no fuss, is a bit fancy window manager, is all [01:24] vodl: Which Windows apps? [01:24] how can I configure rsync? I don't have /etc/rsyncd.conf [01:24] Typos_King: Well to install it from source. [01:24] adobe dreamweaver and photoshop cs2 [01:24] Typos_King: Plus he took the time to give you ALL the dependencies you need to install [01:24] adobe dreamweaver and photoshop cs2 [01:24] vodl: you can install a earlier verison of Wine into 9.10, and those should work with the 9.10 version anyway [01:25] cesc: check into X-Tile [01:25] soadkombucha: .... well... hehe, is not a bad manager, is light too [01:25] a noob question: how to see all opened windows side by side (like a mosaic) without overlaping each other? which button should I press to get this? [01:25] vodl: also when doing the upgrade if you tell it not to upgrade Wine [01:25] i think enlightment is gonna replace kde [01:25] vodl: you can probably just use the 8.04 version in 9.10 [01:25] * dominicdinada never used 8.04 but BT4 is 8.04 :) [01:26] on winehq it says they run lousy under other versions than 8.04, or am I mistakenly interpreting that chart? [01:26] in ubuntu 10.04, can i set it up to boot straight to Cli instead of GUI? [01:26] enlightment....who? kde what? [01:26] How do I tell what video card I have via CLI? [01:26] heheh [01:26] vodl: if you mean appdb, a lot of the info in appdb is out dated [01:26] mdg, lspci -vvv | grep video [01:26] Is there a program for Ubuntu that replaces the default copy manager? Similar to TeraCopy for Windows? I'm just curious linux doesn't need it but it'd be nice to know it was there [01:26] C'mon guys ... please answer my question [01:27] vodl: also are you sure the network manager you want isn't in 9.04? [01:27] !patience | cesc [01:27] cesc: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait.

[01:27] then return to the current location on the command line? [01:28] vodl: anyway the later network manager or whatever it was, you can probably install that into 8.04 really [01:28] vodl: a ppa or something possibily [01:28] don't think so, i looked for it under preferences but there's no network connections there, just net tools [01:28] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7694 [01:28] cesc: you can do this using compiz-fusion. if you install ccsm then you can get access to all the advanced settings [01:28] Baba_b00ie: thanks for responding, but the grep video part didn't work [01:28] delinquentme: 'the editor'? what editor? [01:28] mdg: lshw -C video [01:28] that's what I was ref. to [01:28] Typos_King: gedit, probably [01:29] dunno, I use Geany, jEdit, and others [01:29] aloso need simple ccsm [01:29] cesc: sorry, it's been renamed. now it's called compizconfig-settings-manager [01:29] gedit [01:29] what packages do i need to install if i need to run a "python setup.py install" script? [01:29] mdg, yeah i know, it's wrong command. i wanted to say lshw -C video [01:29] im talking about w like git... i thought it was -f [01:29] IE [01:29] or simple ccsm works too [01:29] git config --global core.editor gedit -f [01:30] delinquentme: .... can't say, many keybindings use ctrl-w though :) [01:30] thanks Typos_King - that's awesome [01:30] cesc: Compizconfig is buggy from my exp [01:30] heh [01:30] cesc: very bugggy [01:30] So I'm trying to chmod a device file in order to give raw access to it. specifically I want to let a non-root user run VirtualBox, using a .vmdk file that links to a real physical partition.

[01:30] cesc: by default, the command to show all windows expo style is w [01:31] 2gb ram [01:31] The problem is, whenever I chmod the device file /dev/sda1, my changes are always reverted a few minutes later [01:31] vodl: and you got a Windows CD yeah? which version? [01:31] i assume this is some sort of anti-rootkit behaviour. can it be suppressed?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:36] SlidingHorn: I was thinking about doing that [01:36] _ath: i don't have experience, but the logs seem to complain that the xorg.conf is wrong. did try using "/usr/bin/aticonfig --initial" (not sure syntax) to get a basic xorg.conf?

[01:38] vodl: really running a Windows install online is quite the security risk, but most users have no idea [01:38] dominicdinada: pebkac, I've run win32 box just as well, in 14years or so, I may have gotten a whopping 5 or so malicious stuff, [01:38] still would really need that network manager [01:39] vodl: ok i'll look at the screenshot hold on [01:39] guys help me plz!

I mean you dont drive your car until the engine seizes with out servicing it :D [01:41] dominicdinada: there is always the market share excuse, and I never said that Linux distros are immune from malware [01:41] uboy: sorry, never had pass problems, best of luck :) [01:41] dominicdinada: they do happen to be immune from Windows malware though [01:41] sebsebseb: Very true :D [01:41] !virus [01:41] 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 [01:41] everytime i peak in here its debate [01:41] dominicdinada, (if i'm not ignored anymore) I find the whole "market share based security" argument to be flawed. I'm sure that it would be more targeted if it did have a larger share, however, there are features of most linux systems that are inherently more secure than a windows system (no auto admin, open source -- lots of eyes to find/fix holes, etc) [01:41] vodl: you can install uhmm [01:41] then, why is there an Antivirus in the Ubuntu repository?

[01:42] vodl: you could install a later version of Gnome yourself, and maybe just the network manager [01:42] sebsebseb: but using a linux server for windows file sharing will help windows viruses propagate :D [01:42] hiexpo: are you have problem with me? [01:42] vodl: also since your on 8.04, you get the option of KDE 3 or KDE 4 from the repo [01:42] vodl: both of which will have a similar program [01:43] vodl: I mean you could try both KDE 3 and 4 [01:43] why doesnt appear the distribution ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex as an option in http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ?

[02:36] wajimba: uhmm well I know that the computer your connecting to, that that is the one where the resolution should probably be changed really [02:37] yeah [02:37] so, is it an xorg.conf thing? [02:37] wajimba: so yeah on that computer get it changed [02:37] wajimba: no I don't think it has anything to do with xorg [02:37] wajimba: how big or small the connection is on your screen [02:38] wajimba: the desktop [02:38] well, my only problem is that 1440x875 is not a standard resolution, so I can't just pick it on the VNC server computer === kevin__ is now known as triaflete [02:38] Uboy: right I just gone on your link [02:39] ok tnx dude [02:39] the connection is LAN -- 100 Mbps [02:39] Uboy: pm only with proper reason :) [02:39] Uboy: and so far you haven't been pming me like that at all [02:39] Zykotick9: unable to find package [02:39] wajimba, that limitation would be in your VNC client (not really surprising actually) [02:39] Uboy: basically pm is good for stuff that shoudn't go in the channel, for example off topic chat [02:39] juggalo483, are you on 10.04? if you you need to enable the Partner repository.

[03:07] Pirate_Hunter: look at point 4 on that webpage :) [03:07] UBoy, what is your native language?

[03:09] Uboy: also your not even in USA or Canada are you? if so you can't buy from System76 [03:09] UBoy: Just to check, have you attempted: [03:09] Pirate_Hunter: point 4 you mean? [03:09] - Booting from a Live Ubuntu CD-rom? [03:09] Uboy, can I ask why you can't reisntall the system again [03:09] Pirate_Hunter: point 4 does sound like his problem [03:09] sebsebseb I'm Live in IRAN not USA or Canda [03:10] i'm connecting my droid to my PC, but it always mounts for root access only. Any ideas? Thanks! [03:10] sebsebseb, yup it actually states it loud and clear [03:10] i just installed today and was wondering if there is a solution to the cursor jumping when I touch the touchpad with two fingers..other than not doing that [03:10] Pirate_Hunter: indeed which has been said for a while now [03:10] alouden: Is your touchpad multitouch? [03:10] flypiper: Any luck? [03:10] doubt it [03:11] not sure actually [03:11] Pirate_Hunter becouse i heared that Linux not need to reinstall like window and this only my resoan to choose linux [03:11] Then probably not - it's by hardware design that it will do that [03:11] Uboy, how can I say this you got very little experience with linux, you just installed the OS a week ago, why can't you reformat it? [03:11] is there a way to dual boot ubuntu without overwriting the mbr? [03:11] Uboy: the instructions on this webpage http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage ARE NOT FOR YOUR COMPUTER! [03:11] UBoy: Have you booted into a Live CDRom? [03:11] Kyoko: Yes [03:11] The long answer is a little more complex :P [03:11] * rpgsimmaster curses Software RAID VERY LOUDLY [03:12] sebsebseb OOKKK! [03:12] Uboy: and since you used them, you have the problem that is mentioned on the webpage in 4. [03:12] Uboy, I understand what you mean but what people don't take into consideration is the learning curve and the experience, the longer you use it the less you'll need to reformat it, heck even I had to reformat my system a couple times as a beginner [03:12] rpgsimmaster yes [03:12] hmm... ok how about this: how do I change the permissions on a mounted drive? [03:13] it's generally a good idea to format after your system's gotten cluttered <.< [03:13] ok. Guys I reformat my linux [03:13] cntrational: or has the wrong driver installed [03:13] Yes [03:13] rpgsimmaster, i'll let you take over this is too much fo my skills and suggesting chroot willl be harder than it seems [03:13] Uboy: finally :) [03:13] Does anyone know how to rebuild a Software RAID array from Ubuntu live CD? [03:13] Uboy: oh if you set up a seperate /home when you install [03:13] sebsebseb and other guys thanks for Helping [03:13] Uboy: and there is a reason to re install in the future, makes it much easier [03:13] Uboy: OS (operating system ) is just a tools it depends on how you use it :) [03:13] *tool [03:14] you could always just setup a /home partition [03:14] Pirate_Hunter: want to tell him how to do that? sepereate home befoer installing, I do want to go away from computer :) [03:14] that'd make formatting much easier [03:14] cntrational: yeah / /home and swap [03:14] cntrational: exactly [03:14] Uboy, I know it is not what you want to hear but at this point it ms the best option and please stay away from that page unless you're sure it actually works. do me a favour when you log in to your new system type this command sudo lshw > hardware-info.txt [03:14] sebsebseb: You don't do a /boot? [03:15] sebsebseb my /home is in another Partition1 [03:15] cntrational: and his swap will be ok, but he will need to get rid of / [03:15] sebsebseb: I make a 100MB partition for /boot so all my kernels are alone [03:15] yup [03:15] Uboy: then you could reinstall [03:15] soadkombucha: no need to do seperate /boot untill its well I guess still need it for XFS, and need it for the optional btrfs support in development versions of 10.10 [03:15] sebsebseb, nope cause it will take longer and I dont even know what system they have as far as I can tell a reformat is the best option [03:15] soadkombucha: unless its, above [03:15] /boot? [03:15] sebsebseb: I like having my kernels separately. Plus it's the first partition on my disk. [03:16] Uboy: Ubuntu is teh only OS on the computer? no Windows? [03:16] sebsebseb: And I have a 500GB HDD I didn't want my linux partition too large. I have 15GB root, 5GB home, 2GB swap, 100MB boot, 50GB windows, and the rest (about 393GB) is data [03:16] sebsebseb No Windows is commonly used in teh [03:17] sebsebseb: And the data is on an extended partition, I'm thinking about figuring out Hackintosh or trying out chromium OS [03:17] Uboy: That was not the question [03:17] ...what [03:17] Uboy: Is Linux the only Operating System you have currently installed on the system? [03:17] Uboy: "teh" was just a mistake for "the" [03:17] Pirate_Hunter where exactly i must type sudo lshw ? [03:17] OK my audio won't play at all [03:17] Using two fingers in a pinching motion will zoom in and out, and moving a finger in a circular motion will scroll. [03:17] sorry guys1 [03:17] ok [03:17] yes [03:17] does that mean its multi touch or just sort of [03:18] that's multitouch [03:18] Uboy: ok makes re install easy [03:18] Uboy, if you choose to reistall your linux distro than in you can type that in terminal once you log in [03:18] the linux is only os on my laptop [03:18] Uboy: with seperate /home as well [03:18] so what does that mean to me [03:18] !home | Uboy [03:18] Uboy: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [03:18] alouden: Er... you have a multitouch touchpad? I'm not sure of the answer you're looking for here [03:18] alouden: what does what mean to you [03:18] sebsebseb u mean /home must be in another partition of HDD [03:18] ? [03:19] Uboy: it is a good idea [03:19] Uboy: makes re installing much easier [03:19] Uboy: it doesn't have to be, but it's a good idea, yeah [03:19] can i stop the cursor from jumping around or do i just have to be careful not to touch with more than one finger [03:19] Uboy: or when your more expereinced, and maybe wanting to try another distro, it would make that easier as well [03:19] Can anyone help me get my audio working? [03:19] alouden: You should be able to disable multitouch, if you do not want it [03:19] ooh is that a guide to moving your home partition [03:19] ok thanks [03:19] alouden: from memory, under the Mouse preferences, there is an option there to disable it [03:19] this'll be useful [03:20] sebsebseb tnx [03:20] Uboy, I got sometime I can help you with the reinstall if you want to do it now instead of going in a loop on the same issue and getting nowhere [03:20] cntrational: want to help him partition for the seperate /home as well, if he comes back on the Live CD? [03:20] Can anyone help me get my audio working? Not actually the sound but playing media files [03:20] it is disabled [03:20] alouden: Most curious. I would say the settings are therefore wrong [03:20] sometime my laptop can't wake up to ubuntu after suspend ~ it just power on and freeze w/ black screen , how do i troubleshoot it [03:20] Pirate_Hunter tnx [03:20] soadkombucha, have you got the codecs [03:20] cntrational: swap should be fine, from his original install. so just remove / and make a new 10GB or so I guess, and big seperate home, both Ext4, and done [03:20] Pirate_Hunter: I installed the restricted pack [03:20] cntrational: I mean I want to go away from the computer soon really [03:20] how to hookup 2 ubuntus via wifi?

When I rotate the screen, the touchscreen calibration still thinks it is not rotated, anyone know how to fix this? [03:30] kinda [03:30] juggalo4833: What driver is it? [03:30] its not its the updated firefox [03:30] What version? [03:31] I've been having some mindnumbing headaches with regard to (possibly) dnsmasq, but also possibly something else. Firstly, for some bizzare reason I cannot make out (or diagnose), machines randomly lose TCP/IP connectivity to my ubuntu box, and its only ever one machine at a time, and when this happens, they also stop being able to request/update dhcp leases ( happens under both windows and linux -_- ) [03:31] 3.6.4 [03:31] jmknsd: reports in forums are that graphics work fine (suspend/resume problems have been reported though). i say try the liveCD and see for yourself. [03:31] juggalo4833: you shouldn't install firefox like that [03:31] juggalo4833: where did you save the file to? [03:31] downloads [03:31] juggalo4833: if you do, you'd have to download and recompile to update again [03:31] then how do i update [03:32] additionally to my above problem, dnsmasq for some reason keeps having /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf as an empty file, I would report this bug on launchpad, but the signup rigmarole is way too much -_- [03:32] juggalo4833: I'm looking [03:32] thanks thune3, I'm just shopping for a laptop atm, and want to make sure it has supported hardware [03:32] juggalo4833: Can't you just update through firefox itself? [03:32] no option [03:32] soadkombucha: it's disabled in ubuntu's version of firefox [03:32] * kent\n is welcome to suggestions, and will try not being an ass, seriously, but it may take a bit of self-restraint -_- [03:32] cntrational: Odd.

[03:48] Uboy: ok your going to do this correctly with Ext4 [03:48] Uboy: my way :) [03:48] cellofellow:no directly wifi cards on each [03:48] sebsebseb, nope not hunting you you help them will just add to my skills and knowledge we learn from each other [03:49] Pirate_Hunter: no that was a joke, since your IRC nick :D [03:49] sebsebseb becouse if in future I use a window my pictures, music and .... shown in windows [03:49] Uboy: if your going to have Windows on there, you should put it on first really [03:49] Uboy: since if you do it after Ubuntu, Windows makes it so only Windows boots up, and then you would have to mess around with Grub 2 to get Ubuntu to boot again, and uh [03:49] aretrfre34: ok, yeah, they call that ad-hoc. I've never done this myself, but I think they way to work it is to on one of the machines "create a new wireless network" in NetworkManager, and have the other join. They should each give themselves ZeroConf IP addresses in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. Then, you can ping and whatnot. [03:50] And messing with grub 2 isn't the best thing around. [03:50] Uboy: and what HeTaL put [03:50] sebsebseb all of it means I change the format to Ext4? [03:50] Uboy: is Windows going on the computer? if so, make that choice now [03:51] sebsebseb, I know :D [03:51] Uboy: Windows does not play nice with other operating systems [03:51] is it appropriate to ask for help with Evolution here? [03:51] Uboy: so if you put it on after another operating system, it makes it so only Windows will boot up [03:51] pollywog: yes [03:51] sebsebseb Perhaps in future I have to use window for working by Special Eletronic Programs [03:51] cellofellow:tried joiner can't see ad-hoc [03:52] Uboy: well then you should put it on now before Ubuntu [03:52] aretrfre34: well, you got me. [03:52] sebsebseb there is only 1 OS in my system every time ok? [03:52] Uboy: you can dual boot [03:52] Uboy: have Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer [03:52] I do not run a mail server for my domain, it is hosted elsewhere. Is there a way to get Evolution to reject foreign character sets or treat emails containing them as junk? [03:53] Uboy: then choose which one to run, when the computer is turned on or re booted [03:53] sebsebseb : I know but I don't linke tu have a window and ubuntu toghether [03:53] anyone have issues with flash craching during fuillscreen [03:53] juggalo4834: Haven't fullscreened flash yet [03:53] why if run weechat in root, cannot connect to servers? [03:53] Uboy: ok well lets do this partition set up, and if you remember how to do it, you can do something similar later on as well [03:54] sebsebseb: I run ubuntu native and then vmplayer for my xp windoze box [03:54] wanna go try for me [03:54] works micely [03:54] Runar: yes I know virtual machines :) ,but I have a feeling that Uboy might not have enough RAM [03:54] Uboy: how much RAM do you have any idea? [03:54] sebsebseb: the NTFS partition is for future, becouse if i decide to use windows I need the DATA [03:54] Uboy: look at this [03:54] Uboy: this is for the old Grub, but look [03:54] !grub | Uboy [03:54] Uboy: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [03:55] how switch between consoles, alf-f1-6 ctr-alt-f1-6 just show blinking no wellcome messages [03:55] can someone help me with my bluetooth woes?

[03:55] how do i change my nick [03:55] need the MAC address of my phone to file a police report as it was stolen :( [03:55] Uboy: and if you have enough RAM and such so like at least 1GB I would say, you could virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu as ruari was suggesting [03:56] juggalo4834: most clients, the /nick newnick command [03:56] sebsebseb no If i decide to use windows i Erase carefully linux then install windows [03:56] tryed that [03:56] i have been told i can run some windows programs in Ubuntu, how would i do this please?

AJAX instead of Java. [03:57] juggalo4834: even better, a real client. [03:57] Uboy: then when it gets to partitioniong do manual install, and i'll tell you what to do [03:57] sebsebseb, suggest vbox and have them setup windows than start it with command such as VBoxHeadless -startvm "name of machine with quotes" than use rdesktop to run it [03:57] Pirate_Hunter: sure, but we don't know if Uboy 's computer can handle Virtualbox yet [03:58] Pirate_Hunter: altough theres a command to find out RAM, can't remember what, and the output is rather geek [03:58] sebsebseb, should do if it handles the desktop but than... free -m if I aint mistaken [03:58] I have a DNS problem I was hoping someone could help me out with.

[04:03] Pirate_Hunter, sebsebseb speak for yourselves - it's winter here :S [04:03] ebhc: Then your problem is not DNS resolution [04:03] rpgsimmaster: Australlia? New Zealand? [04:04] sebsebseb tnx a lot and I see u here 14 hours from now [04:04] ebhc: ok, so it's not a DNS problem, it's an IP problem.

[04:05] cntrational: oh yeah South America get winter when we get summer as well, I think [04:05] perhaps it's a restrictive firewall, and not a problem with your BSD boxes [04:05] any ideas on querying for bluetoth addresses of paired devices [04:05] Anyone in here ever used keytouch? [04:05] sebsebseb: everything in the southern hemisphere is like that [04:05] rpg: see that's the thing, I'm pretty sure it's my firewall on ubuntu as I've hooked up the bsd boxes directly to my cable modem and it works no problem.

I was using webmin to setup iptables but then switched to firestarter. [04:09] kostkon: Now you why that "wrapping" near commands is neccessary sometimes. :) [04:09] sorcha: I don't know what that is [04:09] kostkon: Thank you, it works. [04:09] bsd it is netstat -rn [04:09] sorcha: It is not, exactly, a Windows program [04:09] sorcha: The instructions you see on the page are to be typed into a console [04:09] sorcha: They will compile the program on your Ubuntu system [04:09] that should show you default gateway [04:10] ok what console [04:10] sorcha: go Alt+F2; do you get the run dialog?

[04:11] vaul, in most cases to wrap filenames. instead of giving for example: command -i my\ file, you need the '\ ' to escape the spaces in the filename; an easier way is: command -i "my file" [04:11] kostkon: ok [04:11] kostkon: wrong one [04:11] k-rad: ok [04:11] what is the code name for ubuntu 10.04 ?

[04:13] hate to ask but your interfaces are up on your bsd as well, ifconfig -a [04:14] ruari: Yes they are, he can ssh in, remember [04:14] sorry missed that [04:14] vaul, ah, for example, to separate your own text from the cmd you are giving to someone? for example: to list your files give "ls" in a terminal [04:14] sorcha: Do you get a very long list of files appearing, or do you get some statement about 'program not installed'?

[04:16] wyne: oh GOS is based on Ubuntu, so really you need their support channel [04:16] Is there a hotkey to move a window to another virtual desktop (instead of dragging halfway between two, switching, and then dragging it all the way in)?

[04:19] sebsebseb, I understand building a CD that doesn't have the wireless working and NetworkManager shuts down the interfaces about every 20 seconds.. that's called a great Release [04:19] yes [04:19] sebsebseb: What was so great about 9.04 that is not present at 10.04? [04:20] sorcha: Okay, now when you type in 'sudo apt-get install svn build-essential', what happens? [04:20] anyone know how to get an egalax touchscreen to handle screen rotation? [04:20] vaul: thats a bit off topic, but with 10.04 they have changed Gnome even more, in a bad way, just most users like those changes [04:20] vaul: I mean changes that won't go upstream [04:20] sebsebseb, That is the best advertising for our cause that you can get -( [04:20] 10.4 is solid and updated? [04:21] seb whats bad? [04:21] sebsebseb: And unfortunate for you I do belong to «most» users that liked the changes. Mwaha-ha-ha. :) [04:21] I'm guessing sebsebseb is complaining about Ayatana. [04:21] reading was done but then i got this [04:21] If there's one thing I hate, it's the new theme [04:21] E: Couldn't find package svn [04:21] Ayatana rocks, better than the GNOME Shell stuff that upstream is coming up with. [04:21] some people think it uses more ram?? [04:21] rpgsimmaster: yeah I would rather have the old brown look myself :) [04:21] sorcha: er, whoops [04:22] sorcha: make that 'sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential [04:22] shut down and log out not being in the system menu, where they should be. no auotmatic shut down feature anymore with me menu enabled, that kind of stuff [04:22] lol main reason i use ubuntu is it seems to be able to run software meant for other "shells" as well [04:23] ok its loading something it asked if it could i said yes [04:23] cellofellow: Gnome Shell might be like KDE 4 to begin with, basically not liked that much by many, but then improved and most users like it [04:23] sorcha: 'good, that's what you want' [04:23] sebsebseb: we'll see what happens. [04:23] sebsebseb: actually, it's there in the system menu if you remove indicator applet [04:23] cntrational: yes I know [04:23] sebsebseb: That's not objectively bad, changes just do not fit you taste. [04:23] ugh [04:23] cntrational: and then the linking, of indicatoer applet and sound menu. and all that, as well, uh [04:23] sebsebseb, Thank You.. you just explained the compile problems with the new versions [04:24] Does anyone here have an egalax touchscreen?

[04:24] sorcha: Are you back at a commmand prompt, where you can type in more stuff? [04:25] vaul: in my opinion there are quite a few bad changes in 10.04, at least for expereinced users such as myself, who have used Ubuntu either from the second release in 2005 in my case, or for some the first in 2004. However this is off topic, so this is a good thing to end it with. [04:25] sebsebseb, ERROR: not using the "bash" shell..

Okay, lets end this. [04:26] test [04:26] failed [04:26] hi hi.. im a bit lost [04:26] flypiper: Gnome Shell is the new look for Gnome 3, which will be released in September, was going to be April, but they are delayed [04:26] sebsebseb, why do I get that error then in 10.4?? I dunno [04:26] its done i have a promote after a long list of checks [04:26] sebsebseb, ahhh [04:26] i wonder if gnome shell'll be in maverick [04:26] cello yes I've had installed [04:26] promt* [04:26] sorcha: Okay, [04:26] cntrational: no it won't won't be, but should be able to get it from the repo [04:26] Saxon: well, then, what doesn't work? [04:27] i tried looking for massive amounts of info and find nothing much.. anyone good at figureing out video issues [04:27] how do i unrar soemthing === syrius is now known as kostas [04:27] cntrational: like at the moment you can get Gnome Shell for 10.04, but the version in the repo is old, well theres a ppa for a later version [04:27] sorcha: now follow the instructions here http://www.qavimator.org/, where it says 'and run the following commands:' under Linux(SVN) [04:27] whats the issue [04:27] sebsebseb: they're already in the re- oh [04:27] cello, when I try to start the movies on DVD, sometimes the opening starts, but then it cuts off, or just nothi9ng. [04:27] cntrational: already in the what? [04:27] yes it's possible [04:27] it's already in the respositories [04:27] juggalo483: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=unrar+Ubuntu [04:27] Saxon: Did you installed the ubuntu restricted drivers package? [04:27] i have a ibm e-server 445 and i can install the server just fine but then if i try to install desktop the video goes whack and get infinate loop [04:28] sharedLan, is that even possible? [04:28] sorry ^ [04:28] Does anyone here have an egalax touchscreen? I'm having trouble getting mine to handle rotation... [04:28] xp uses virtual memory for opengl and directx as well as the on videoboard memory [04:28] Saxon: kind of hard to diagnose that. Totem is a generally flakey DVD player. VLC always works for me, but that's works-for-me. If all else fails you can try buying the commercial DVD player from Fluendo. [04:28] soad, yes all other restricted format work [04:28] ubuntu see's it but it is not enabled [04:28] !google | rpgsimmaster [04:28] rpgsimmaster: 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. [04:29] !rar [04:29] 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 [04:29] sebsebseb: That's why i google it for him [04:29] *googled :P [04:29] 7z > rar [04:29] ok on the first line i get no directory found [04:29] 7zip is good [04:30] then for qmake i get a couple of options with get package [04:30] tar.lzma > 7z [04:30] Between 7z and unrar, you can cover everything. [04:30] Can someone else help sorcha build qavimator, I have to go? [04:30] cellofellow: >:v [04:30] is this something i will hav eto go through each time i use this [04:31] sorcha: No, just once [04:31] thank heavens for that [04:31] cntrational: what? [04:31] cellofellow: nothing === CQ_ is now known as CQ [04:31] 7z is windows-specific, like zip. On *nix, better to use tar.lzma, which gives you the same compression algorithm with a UNIX-native archive format. [04:31] xp can even be glitched into using onboard video at the same time as pci video..and share that ram too..using "rivatuner" [04:32] sorcha: Can you get someone else to help you now - I have to disappear, unfortunately; [04:32] sorry [04:32] thank you for your help [04:32] i will try [04:32] I want the same kinda setup in my ubuntu studio [04:32] That's crap. 7z and zip are not MSWindows specific. === jmad980 is now known as _||^^||-\|]980 [04:32] does anyone know how to build qavimator? [04:32] pres: yes they are. They store Windows file attributes, not Unix permissions. [04:33] cellofellow: 7-zip has a command line app for Linux distros [04:33] cellofellow: the graphical 7-zip program will also work nicely in Wine [04:33] cellofellow: and other programs in a Linux distro can deal with those files, native programs [04:33] p7zip is there and it works, yes, but that doesn't make it any less a Windows-specific archive format. [04:34] sebsebseb; 7z integrates into Ubuntu's built in archiver. No need for Windows version+WINE. Or use cli, which is what I prefer. [04:34] i belive i have a buildt in radeon 7000/ve [04:34] pres: and here we got cellofellow thinking its a Windows thing [04:34] Well that's wrong. [04:34] cellofellow: 7zip is open source, and RAR is more of a Windows thing, and RAR is horrible [04:34] why would ubuntu give me shitty download speeds and my window system gets great speeds [04:35] how does it integrate into the built in archiver? that sounds neat [04:35] sorcha:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=702049 [04:35] usually ubu gets great and xp fails [04:35] sebsebseb: at least rar is a bit better than zip [04:35] towards bottom [04:35] sebsebseb: both zip and 7z specifically store windows file attributes, and can't store unix file attributes like permissions. Prove me wrong. [04:35] cntrational: not on a Linux distro [04:35] cntrational; it just does. [04:35] !rar [04:35] juggo try disableing ipv6 [04:35] how so? [04:35] pres: how do i do this [04:35] sorcha, according to this: http://yetanotherubuntublog.blogspot.com/2010/03/qavimator-on-karmic-32-64bit.html you'll need to install some packages first [04:36] sorcha, thus, give the command: sudo apt-get install subversion qt4-qmake libqt4-dev freeglut3-dev [04:36] well ping and d/l's in ubuntu my personal experiences has far exceeded and microsoft os's [04:36] any [04:36] sharedLan: also Wget is :) [04:36] cntrational; just install 7z and unrar from the repos and it automatically intergrates. [04:36] ok gonna run that and see [04:36] but there are settings that can free things up more [04:37] i love ubuntu but it seems that there is no support for my new (Used) server. all because of a video driver issue [04:37] do you have pci-e juggo? [04:37] lostinubuntu: whats the exact problem? and which card? [04:38] name of system and maker?? [04:38] Does anyone here have an egalax touchscreen? I'm having trouble getting mine to handle rotation... [04:38] model number of motherboard would help too [04:38] pres: hmmm 7z doesn't appear to be in the repos [04:38] i have a imb e-server i can install the ubuntu server just fine but if i try to install the desktop it will cause the server to reboot forever [04:38] cntrational: it is, p7zip [04:38] !p7zip [04:38] it has a radeon 7000/ve [04:39] IBM?

[04:41] sudo lshw [04:41] the chipset would of been for a radeon ve or radeon 7000/ve [04:42] no clue how to do it [04:42] hello could someone send a link with instructions to free memory after unmounting /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs [04:42] the chipset is usually separate from the video card unless ati made that specifically for that board.. [04:42] but also another issue comes up seems this fsck thing likes to come up and cause lock [04:42] lostinubuntu: does the graphical boot up show ok or not?

[05:34] That's 30 days without a reboot and yes, I've been doing stuff; my swap is half a meg full (and I notice the kernel isn't very swappy). Take that, M$. [05:34] SirMoo, well...that is more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic [05:34] In windows RDP does this : Port Redirection allows applications running within the terminal session to access local serial ports directly. >> any idea on how to do it in linux? [05:34] Cathal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootCamp [05:34] Cathal, since it is PPC, good place to ask there I guess [05:35] no wait [05:35] thanks [05:35] this page is useless [05:36] Cathal, It's always a good idea to browse heavily for background. But you're welcome to talk about Mac install here. Which kind of Mac? [05:36] yeah, the Mac in question is running 9.2 [05:36] its an old Mac G3 [05:36] HOw do I check for hard disk errors (Physical)? (In Winblow it was chkdsk /f/r ) [05:36] is it a powerPC or inte- powerPC, then [05:36] Cathal, You will not get Ubuntu on that, sorry. [05:36] G3 is powerpc [05:37] UbubtuLily: fsck [05:37] can you watch quicktime file formats on the internet? is there a plugin for the web browsers to see them? [05:37] Cathal, You may want to look into one of the Yellow Dog distros. Also, OpenSUSE supports PPC. [05:37] BU HU YONG ZHE GE [05:37] I used to work with open suse, back when it was 10.0 [05:37] well actually you can sorta isntall ubuntu [05:37] !cn | yuan [05:37] yuan: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:37] UbuntuLily: chkdsk only checks for filesystem errors though, if i remember correctly...been awhile since i've been on the windows though [05:37] yuan, are you sure you are not being silly now? [05:37] yuan: This channel is english only, please join #ubuntu-cn for Chinese [05:37] Cathal, Not to discourage you but I did spend quite a long time trying to get Linux on a PPC machine. There's much to be said for getting new hardware. No offense. [05:38] UbuntuLily: fsck -a /dev/partitionname (if you use -r for chkdsk) [05:38] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPC apparently there are community supported PPC releases [05:38] heh, well, this is a toy for now [05:38] I agree with xiong - i worked at getting linux on my imac DV ( a 500mhz ppc) and basically it was more trouble then it was worth. [05:38] kool thanx [05:38] how do I get part name? [05:38] if I do get it up. it'll only be for formatting, or re-formatting ebooks. [05:38] UbuntuLily: you can also use ultimate boot disk to test it with the manufacturers tools (will require CD / USB to boot from) [05:39] UbuntuLily: sudo fdisk -l will (L)ist the partitions [05:39] UbuntuLily: System->Administration->Disk Utility will let you find hardware issues i believe as well [05:39] if you need those [05:39] Cathal, If you're looking at it as a way to salvage old hardware, maybe yes. [05:39] ZHE SHI [05:39] I wasn't aware that there was *any* PPC Ubuntu port. [05:39] !java [05:39] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [05:39] supernothing: chkdsk only checks for bad hardware sectors [05:39] xiong: it exists [05:40] supernothing: On an HDD [05:40] xiong: sure there are ppc version [05:40] Well my issue is I am trying to install mythubuntu and I got an IO error. The error said it could be the CD or the hard drive, but since I pulled this PC off a shelf its been sitting on for like a year I wanted to make sure the hard drive was okay before I go wasting disks [05:40] Well, I would still try OpenSUSE first. [05:40] synergy is lagging, and the sudo workaround isn't working. any ideas? [05:40] xiong: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc.iso [05:40] gommle: What's the sudo workaround? [05:40] gommle: Did you try sudo -s?? [05:40] simply running as superuser. [05:40] synergyc that is [05:40] gommle: What exactly is synergyc? [05:40] soadkombucha: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/chkdsk.mspx?mfr=true it checks the filesystem according to this [05:41] msg nickserv indentify xchat666 [05:41] supernothing: Yeah. [05:41] you can't "correct" physical failures [05:41] program for sharing mouse/keyboard over network [05:41] supernothing: You never can [05:41] Cathal: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/ here's a powerPC port of lucid [05:41] UbuntuLily, if that I/o error is during install or before rebooting, thats a thing the livecd has on all my pc [05:41] gommle: Did you try gksudo? [05:41] hai [05:41] UbuntuLily, no need to worry about that [05:42] dajiaha [05:42] actionParsnip, Thank you but I'm not going that way. I have one old G3 running 9.2.2 and I'm keeping it just that way, until I get all my files from it. I may keep it around for specialized graphics work. [05:42] gommle: With QuickSynergy? [05:42] I dont think it finished tho [05:42] soadkombucha: never is such a dirty word. it's very difficult to. and you definitely can't do it in software, unless you mean write around it. but yeah, ckdsk cleans filesystems, not checks disks for failures afaik [05:42] installing quicksynergy now. But I doubt it will work, as it's simply a GUI [05:42] it was 48 % thru, than I got the IO error than I went to get a drink and the installer was gone [05:43] 大家好阿 [05:43] UbuntuLily: What speed did you burn the disc at [05:43] 大家好阿 [05:43] UbuntuLily: Try to reburn the image on a disc that supports 2.4x and burn it that slow [05:43] thank you cntrational, that's just what I needed. here's hoping it works. I want to completely wipe the old OS and rebuild from scratch is possible. [05:43] Any firewall program that is similar to ZoneAlarm? [05:43] Does anyone here have an egalax touchscreen? I'm having trouble getting mine to handle rotation... [05:43] high- think 20x [05:43] UbuntuLily, ah, ok, that's different then, got it only in the shell before the disc unmounts after installing [05:43] 这个东西怎么用 b］ [05:43] !firewall | test34 [05:43] test34: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [05:43] is there a way to do an integrity check on the disk? [05:44] test34: firewalls in linux work in a radically different way then they do in windows. So somthing like zone alarm is really not needed. [05:44] !cn | yuan [05:44] yuan: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:44] Cathal: it's not an official port, though [05:44] will, it update if I connect it? [05:44] probably [05:44] ＃ubuntu-hk [05:44] *nods* [05:44] that's all I really need then [05:45] UbuntuLily: What kind of disc? [05:45] 这个东西不会搞 [05:45] UbuntuLily: Ubuntu install disc? [05:45] like I said, it will be primarily for formatting ebooks. [05:45] Dr_Willis, Some are radically different, but they should clone zonealarm [05:45] 第一回用 [05:45] #ubuntu.jp [05:45] Ya - Mythbuntu to be exact [05:45] 怎么完这个阿 [05:45] test34: They don't need to yet...Windows is much more compromised [05:45] test34: submit the idea at: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com ;) [05:45] 我不会完阿 [05:45] yuan, english here ly you too [05:46] 有的讲一下阿 [05:46] UbuntuLily: When you boot there should be a boot and verify option [05:46] yuan 这仅是英语频道。为了获得在中国的帮助，请键入/加入＃Ubuntu的- cn的 [05:46] UbuntuLily: But like I said, try reburning the ISO at 2.4x [05:46] yuan ly #ubuntu-cn for Chinese [05:46] Hey all. I think my disc got corrupt somehow, and I don't have another burner around. I'm using the livecd for 10.04 now, and I'd like to know if there's a way I can just install from the network packages, but from the live cd? [05:46] Ill do that too [05:46] 不知道 [05:46] UbuntuLily: Generally a slower burn speed results in less chance of the disc failing [05:46] soadkombucha, i like to know when a program that isnt supposed to access the net actually tries [05:47] UbuntuLily: For future advice, NEVER burn an ISO image at full write speed. [05:47] yes, normally I burn slower, i just wasn't thinkin [05:47] actionParsnip, I'll take a look, thanks [05:47] ti [05:47] sha1sum, the USB install works nicely, and you don't have to format it either. just a heads up [05:47] UbuntuLily: Ahh alright [05:47] 什么玩意阿 [05:47] thanx! kiss ;) [05:47] gommle: awesome. where can I get it? [05:47] Is a single ext partition with ubuntu installed a bad way to start a dual boot (ubuntu / *dows) setup? Or can I modify the partition and use GRUB or something to do the dual boot? [05:47] sha1sum: Download the ISO [05:47] sha1sum: And download unetbootin [05:48] sha1sum: And it will write the ISO image to a bootable USB drive for you [05:48] sha1sum, I only used the GUI for windows, but I assume it exists for ubuntu too [05:48] unetbootin? [05:48] It exists cross platform [05:48] soadkombucha: can you give me the URL for the ISO for 32 bit 10.04? Firefox is one of the sectors of the disc that is corrupt so I have to use wget I guess [05:48] sin_tax: you should install windows first [05:48] I was afraid of that :-( [05:49] the best way is to install windows then ubuntu [05:49] sha1sum: http://mirrors.gigenet.com/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso [05:49] I just downloaded an ati driver its a .run file, how do I install it?. [05:49] sha1sum: Actually.. [05:49] Unless of course you count the best way as locking up the windows cd.. and not even installing windows at all. :) [05:49] the_file: what GPU do you have? [05:49] cool thanks [05:49] sha1sum: If you download unetbootin [05:50] crappy [05:50] the_file: chmod +x whatever.run, then ./whatever.run [05:50] sha1sum: It will download the ISO file for you through the gui [05:50] ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 [05:50] http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.12&lang=English [05:50] the_file: that driver won't work, then [05:50] Dr_Willis personally, id burn the winblows CD. but that's just me [05:50] ;-) [05:50] howcome?

[05:52] hi there [05:52] the_file: considering it was released over a year before lucid, I'm pretty sure it won't run on 10.04 at least [05:52] heh [05:52] the_file: with some video card drivers, you may need to Exit out of X and run them from the Console. [05:52] so why would ubuntu just drop support? [05:52] the_file: ubuntu dident.. ati did. [05:52] i need some help with respect to WiFI on 10.04 [05:52] @Raj hello pal [05:52] OWW [05:52] Raj: What wifi card?

I wanted to try out KTorrent [06:00] I'm partial to the utorrentesque GUI [06:01] let me chk [06:01] soadkombucha: ok then both are good, ktorrent has a web ui too but you have to install php5-cli extra (last I used kde it was needed) [06:01] soadkombucha: go for it then dude, its free to try [06:01] soadkombucha: is there any way I can skip the USB thing and load the iso via loopback or something and do it that way?

[06:13] soadkombucha: ive seen cases where you do uise /dev/sdb :) but proberly not in this case. [06:13] Dr_Willis: The only reason I remember that command is because I needed it to manually downgrade to patch the firmware on my archos [06:13] Dr_Willis: And my archos used /dev/sdb [06:13] were can I install compiz fusion?.

[06:20] face: thats why then, find some example xorg.conf files and see how resolutio is defined [06:20] usf: that is weird then. what does 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb' show then? [06:20] I see [06:20] Does anyone here have a touchscreen? [06:20] Will do, actionParsnip [06:21] And greezmunkey, it's not offering my specific resolution.

All seems to work ok except the screen doesn't show anything any more.

[06:30] greezmunkey: i'm using fat just to store data [06:30] soadkombucha:okey yesterday it works perfectly [06:30] paranoidphreak: exactly, I would think any virus activity on the fat partition would only affect that partition. [06:31] what is a good mountaable shared filesystem? with ACL and encryption over the network? [06:31] sharedLan: i need some guidance to configure WiFI [06:31] evodragun: Maybe aMSN [06:31] a virus can infect any media installed unless it's read only [06:31] soadkombucha:i have this problem only with lucid, [06:31] kk [06:31] Nop dont work [06:31] my mouse is messed up so i'm kinda slow getting to pm's [06:31] I try de Emense but nothing [06:32] Is there an easy way to dual boot Windows 7 and Linux Mint 9 or Windows 7 and Kubuntu 10.04? [06:32] actionParsnip, greezmunkey: thanks for the info [06:32] ConfusedLinux_: Installing Windows first and then installing Linux [06:32] I read alot about Empathy an say soppurt webcam but nothing [06:32] ConfusedLinux_: if you have 2 hard drives.. that makes it very very easy. [06:32] sharedLan: it would have to be a darned smart virus to cross over from fat to ext3...especially if the ext3 isn't even mounted... [06:32] evodragun: Hmm. Try installing Cheese, see if your webcam is recognized === vorian is now known as gallifrey [06:32] I tested an is okay [06:32] soadkombucha: screen irssi >> http://imagebin.org/102986 [06:32] !wine | ConfusedLinux_ [06:32] ConfusedLinux_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [06:32] evodragun: That's odd [06:32] ConfusedLinux_: with 1 hd. you may want to resize the windows partition from within windows. leave part of the HD unallocated. and let the ubuntu installer install to that unalocated space. [06:33] Odd??? [06:33] wise_crypt: How would I do that [06:33] hi there. i'm using Ubuntu 10.04 live cd and connected via Wired network.. my wireless is not getting connected properly. Please help me out using private message [06:33] dr_willis: i tried wine, starcraft still boots me out [06:33] wise_crypt: you can get rid of the guake icon in the tray you know [06:33] Dr_Willis: People really install windows to just one partition on a hard drive? [06:33] ConfusedLinux_: try adding the wine ppa then upgrading [06:33] soadkombucha: ya still need it lol [06:34] wise_crypt: I have irssi [06:34] Does anyone here have a touchscreen? [06:34] actionParsnip: whats wine ppa? im new to linux if you cant tell [06:34] paranoidphreak: if you are that worried, keep your ubuntu ssd in your pocket when using public pcs, get another one for transferring files. They're pretty cheap these days. [06:34] soadkombucha: someone posted the drive layout on their new win7 boxx in here the other day.. windows 7 + the hp recovery partition took up all 4 primary partitions.. that was a total mess. [06:34] ConfusedLinux_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [06:34] how do i modify my font config file? [06:35] soadkombucha: win7 likes to use 2 primary partitions these days one for some sort of /boot/ feature. (ive never used it) [06:35] ConfusedLinux_: you may be new to linux but not new to websearching, instead of asking, take direction and run with it instead of asking. you'll learn more and faster [06:35] Dr_Willis: It allocates 100MB for the boot sector files [06:35] Dr_Willis: I remember watching you work through that with him, it was pretty sticky. [06:35] actionParsnip: i did, ive been trying to find answers on google for at least a week. nothing [06:35] Dr_Willis: I have that 100MB because Ubuntu is easier to dualboot if you install windows first [06:35] How can I remove a group from a user? I accidentally assigned one of my users to the group 'www-data', and I'd like to remove that group from the user. I'm using server edition, so I need the command line argument, not the GUI tool. [06:36] greezmunkey: i dont know if he ever got it going or not. I love how PC makers take up a huge part of your HD so they dont have to include optical-recovery media.. THEN charge you extra for the disks. [06:36] soadkombucha: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [06:36] Dr_Willis: exactly! [06:36] soadkombucha: i keep the oss on their own hd's that makes it even easier. :) [06:36] I have 3 disks on my pc that I am installing ubuntu on. How should I format them [06:36] Dr_Willis: My laptop only has one drive [06:36] ConfusedLinux_: try a different search engine if google fails you [06:36] aurilliance: depends On your needs. [06:37] Dr_Willis, I want to install ubuntu on the largest one, and then use the other two simply for storage [06:37] Dr_Willis: And I think I'm going to resize my extended data partition and install Chromium OS just to try it out. Or attempt to get Hackintosh running [06:37] later... [06:37] hao [06:37] soadkombucha: next laptop i get - im buying a 2nd hd just for it to keep the 'windows' system on. and keep it on a shelf. :) and use linux on its own hd. [06:37] actionParsnip: although i highly doubt i will find an answer, ill go check again. [06:37] Dr_Willis: I don't mind dual booting, it's not a huge deal to me. [06:38] soadkombucha: it is possible to use grub2 to boot ISO files. Thats a handy way to test out different disrtos. [06:38] Dr_Willis, My real q is: should I use ext4 for all of them? And what is the difference between Logical / Primary? [06:38] Dr_Willis: Especially seeing as the laptop was bought for me as a present and my parents think if I install anything other than Windows to it it will die [06:38] ConfusedLinux_: i gave you the full and exact command you neede [06:38] Soadkombucha: Thaks for everything [06:38] Dr_Willis, Can grub2 do that? (boot iso's)? [06:38] hey does anyone know of a webpage template that acts like googles picasa? [06:38] aurilliance: when in doubt ext4. You can have 4 primary partitions MAX per hard drive.. ONE of those Primaries can be a extended, that holds logicals. [06:38] b14ck: sudo deluser username groupname [06:38] [06:34] ConfusedLinux_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [06:38] I have more questions but I see you to busy LOL [06:38] aurilliance: so if you just need 1 partition per hd. use primarys. [06:38] ruari, thanks so much :) [06:38] And you can have up to 60 logicals? [06:38] actionParsnip: is there any chance that will mess anything up? what does it even do? [06:38] aurilliance: if you need 4 or less partitions per hd.. use primaries.. [06:38] See you in other time and thanks again [06:39] np [06:39] evodragun: We can answer. [06:39] evodragun: We may look busy, but people just help people whenever, it's not that we're really ignoring anybody. [06:39] actionParsnip: ok the nomodeset option fixed the console, now how do I get my framebuffer back? I put GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 in /etc/default/grub, will that do it? [06:39] evodragun: And it's not a problem. [06:39] ConfusedLinux_: it adds the wine development ppa which is a 3rd party repository (non-canonical) and then upgrades, the version on the wine ppa is later than the canonical version so you will download the later version of wine [06:39] Dr_Willis: I don't know how to use GRUB2 to boot an ISO [06:40] quit [06:40] Dr_Willis: Plus Chromium OS isn't live [06:40] now my usb flash it's not mounted,i think that every thing is mounted only the first time and after that nothing works [06:40] how do i modify my font config file? [06:40] actionParsnip: okay, I will go re-wubi Ubuntu Netbook and try again. Will you be on here for much longer? [06:40] Dr_Willis, one more thing, where should I set my 2 storage drives to mount? /dev/something??? [06:40] slacker-: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1483882 [06:40] Soadkombucha: I understand and was a joke [06:40] evodragun: Haha alright [06:40] whats the commandline to install new fonts? [06:41] aurilliance: you DONT mount to /dev/ thats where devices show up [06:41] Soadkombucha: Thanks [06:41] aurilliance: /media/stuff [06:41] ConfusedLinux_: i'm outt ahere in 50 mins, then back on in 10 after that til about an hour later, then bed cos i'm knackered [06:41] Dr_Willis, thanks [06:41] evodragun: Anytime. I'll try to help if I can, sorry I couldn't be more assistance. [06:41] Dr_Willis: Or /media/Data1 and /media/Data2 [06:41] Dr_Willis: Or he could do /media/DATA and /media/data [06:42] actionParsnip: okay, ill try to do this fast [06:42] soadkombucha: yes.. but NOT anything in /dev/ :) [06:42] Dr_Willis: Haha of course not [06:42] Dr_Willis: I do have to say I like that Linux is case-sensitive...Although it causes problems in Windows sometimes [06:42] wait soadkombucha what [06:42] it causes windows problems? [06:42] actionParsnip: I don't have nvidia btw. it's an onboard intel [06:42] Soadkombucha: Only one last question [06:43] Can someone help me with my microphone issue? I'm running Ubuntu NR 10.04 and none of my programs will recognize my built-in microphone. [06:43] ConfusedLinux_: If you had two folders on an NTFS drive that you were using in Ubuntu [06:43] actionParsnip: will follow anyway and maybe do some searching myself ;) [06:43] ConfusedLinux_: And one was /DATA and the other was /data [06:43] Dr_Willis, one more thing :P (thanks for all the help btw) it's asking me to choose a swap partition as well, where would be the best place for that? [06:43] Soadkombucha: In Windows I use software like Ccleaner o Vopt to clean and defrag my unit [06:43] soadkombucha: well considering i have no idea what that means, and I just used wubi, i think ill be alright === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy [06:43] ConfusedLinux_: it can also be an issue with Samba shares. if you have 'DataDir' and 'datadir' on the same share.. windows can get confused and not see one. [06:43] ConfusedLinux_: Ubuntu is case sensitive, recognizes them as different folders. Windows thinks DATA and data are the same thing [06:43] Soadkombucha: In Ubuntu exist something like that?? [06:44] evodragun: There are defraggers [06:44] Any help with my problem? :) [06:44] so should i get a different distro than ubuntu? [06:44] evodragun: There is no registry cleaner. Ubuntu manages cleanup pretty well on its own. [06:44] aurilliance: i alwyas make a 512mb swap on every hd. but in your case. You proberly want to put it on the HD that will get used the least. and the fastest.. but you may never even need swap. so it may not matter much [06:44] ConfusedLinux_: its a free world.. get what you want. [06:44] Soadkombucha: Can you recomend one drefragger? [06:44] evodragun: I've never defragged on linux hold on [06:45] ConfusedLinux_: it all depends on your 'needs' [06:45] whats the commandline to install new fonts? [06:45] evodragun:I mean you don't really have to [06:45] Soadkombucha: Okas [06:45] evodragun: Linux just.. It's a lot more organized and doesn't do the crazy things windows does [06:45] dr_willis: the only reason I have linux is for running Starcraft because Windows 7 freezes when you play it, so other than that i'll stick to Windows simplicity [06:45] !font | Adem [06:45] Adem: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [06:45] Adem: where are you getting these fonts from? I just copy .ttf files to my .fonts dir [06:45] Do I have to use openjdk in 10.04? [06:46] Evil_: You can get the JRE [06:46] Evil_: It comes with the restricted extras [06:46] ConfusedLinux_: so you cant 'fix' windows.. so you want to play windows games in linux.. :) Check the wine app database on that game and see if theres any known wine issues with it. [06:46] where can i download monospace font [06:46] Dr_Willis: Actually, Starcraft 2 beta works better under Wine than it does natively under windows [06:47] Soadkombucha: I see ubuntu use only the procesor and to much memory [06:47] soadkombucha, I had openjdk installed and tried installing limewire but it's complaining about not having sun-java6-jdk [06:47] Dr_Willis: It doesn't freeze on online play under Wine, but it does under Windows [06:47] Adem: theres several fonts in the package manager repos. There were some mono fonts also installed by default [06:47] Evil_: Install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras Package. Or enable the canonical repository and search for it [06:47] does any one know how to control the default zoom in a gnome window [06:47] Soadkombucha: How I can optimaze my ubuntu to make faster [06:47] how to boot into x windows with Ubuntu 10.04 server? [06:47] Adem: and theres the MS fonts package for some of the MS fonts if you want those. === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:47] evodragun: Trust me you don't have to it will be fast enough on its own [06:47] i need to know what does it mean http://paste.ubuntu.com/455777/ [06:48] ConfusedLinux_: there are native games too, and some commercial games have native windows installers like doom3 and return to castle wolfenstein [06:48] Adem: copying form your windows font directory might do the work [06:48] evodragun: You'll see what I mean. It boots a lot faster. [06:48] Soadkombucha: I dont understand [06:48] evodragun: You're accustomed to Windows I assume? [06:48] does any one know how to control the default zoom in a gnome window [06:49] chinmaya__: what default zoom are you talking about? [06:49] evodragun: Linux is completely different. The file structure is completely different, the way it manages files is different, and the speed at which it boots is much faster. [06:49] chinmaya__: are you using compiz? [06:49] actionParsnip: I'm not looking for anything new [06:49] dr_willis: nobody has the same problem on WineHQ [06:49] soadkombucha: depends on config of both, but generally linux boots faster [06:49] actionParsnip, yes. But I mean the zoom property of the window which shows files. I mean in nautilus [06:49] soadkombucha: if boot times excite you, look into xpud ;) [06:50] Can someone help me with my microphone issue? I'm running Ubuntu NR 10.04 and none of my programs will recognize my built-in microphone. [06:50] actionParsnip: I'm talking generally [06:50] actionParsnip: I'm happy with the fact that linux takes about a minute to load. [06:51] when connecting to an Ubuntu machine, via samba, how do you surf to a folder, when the machine is Windows 7. I am trying to go to \\ip.address, but im being prompted for a user/password [06:51] a whole 60sec? thats too slow! [06:51] :) [06:51] actionParsnip, While opening one of my folders its getting opened in 66 % rather than 100% [06:51] why must linux be so confusing! [06:51] profxavier: i always give my linux users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' [06:51] Dr_Willis: It's less than 60 [06:51] ConfusedLinux_: its not.. windows is confuseing. [06:52] Dr_Willis: But 1 minute is better than Windows [06:52] ConfusedLinux_: and using games in wine. is always a bit of a gamble. [06:52] Dr_Willis: I think my boot time is somewhere around 30-40 seconds max [06:52] Dr_Willis, then how do you access the shared drive/folder ? [06:52] dr_willis: windows is really simple. you dont need to use terminal or anything like that [06:52] I use command.com in windows all the time [06:52] profxavier: i enter my linux users name/samba password. [06:52] dr_willis: it doesnt take three years to connect to wireless on windows [06:53] ConfusedLinux_: but... you were unable to actually FIX your problem in windows.. so that sort of points that its not simple. [06:53] ConfusedLinux_, Its not dude.. Its just lack of touch with it [06:53] ConfusedLinux_: computers are 'simple' when they work.. when somthing breaks.. well thats when you get into the issues. [06:53] let's stop the offtopic "Linux vs. Windows" stuff, please === Colonel_panic is now known as John_Albert === John_Albert is now known as Colonel_Panic [06:53] dr_willis: i cant "fix" the problem in ubuntu either [06:53] * wise_crypt hope that everybody wont feed the troll [06:53] hello all [06:54] ConfusedLinux_: Linux isn't terrible, it's just a matter of having a little bit of google-fu [06:54] Hey Colonel_Panic [06:54] * Dr_Willis finally got Lord Of the Rings Online working in Wine. :) [06:54] I'm running Ubuntu on a Dell Mini 9 [06:54] I have to look into Wine configuration === hesay1st_ is now known as hesay1st [06:54] soadkombucha: I don't want to spend seven years of my life on google figuring out commands to run stuff because it wont run with icons [06:54] Does anyone know how to control the default zoom property for nautilus. For one of my folders it has got reset to 66% rather than 100% [06:54] soadkombucha: if you reduce startup services it can be a lot faster, lik if the system doesnt have bluetooth, turn off bluetooth. or disable cups at startup if it doesn't have or use a printer [06:54] this machine uses a Broadcom chipset with the iw-broadcom driver [06:55] I'm installing ubuntu and wondering: If I select the option to "use my password to log in *and* decrypt my home folder" will that be much of a performance loss? [06:55] soadkombucha: that sort of thing [06:55] chinmaya__: "View" menu in Nautilus [06:55] dr_willis: also, about a day after getting W7 and ubuntu dual booted, I started getting weird errors about ChkDsk or something each time I booted up [06:55] please if you really want to play games with wine use http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks or have more money use codega or crossover instead :) [06:55] I mean wl-broadcom [06:56] aurilliance: i imagine there will be a slight loss. but ive not heard of anyone complainng about it. But if you ever need to access your HOME from a live cd. Your files will all be encrypted. and i ahve had seen people ask how to Unencrypt them. [06:56] mneptok, it just sets temporarily... but when i open the next time its just standing at 66% only!! [06:56] wine and playonlinux both fail at installing [06:56] Dr_Willis: before that, how do you access the shared resource, what syntax do you use? [06:56] cedega works very nice [06:56] wise_crypt: Or just get smart and pirate it [06:56] but costs money [06:56] well worth the donation [06:56] Dr_Willis, good point. [06:56] ConfusedLinux_: i dont use Win7 and i basically dont game on windows any more either. So cant help. [06:56] anyway, the ESSID and other info about connected wifi APs doesn't show up in iwconfig [06:56] soadkombucha: no pirated stuff talk here ;p [06:56] how can I change the menu icon ? [06:56] how can I change the menu icon ? [06:56] There's one game I refuse to run on anything but windows purelityy out of system intens [06:56] Colonel_Panic: there is a wine support channel. and newer versions of wine come out every week or so. [06:56] !legal | soadkombucha [06:57] I know I can do this in 9.10 bu not the new one [06:57] !illegal [06:57] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [06:57] wine? [06:57] I'm not asking about wine [06:57] dr_willis: alright, ill go get ubuntu back for now. whats an IRC program I can use once i get there? [06:57] Dr_Willis: I will NEVER run Dragon Age Origins under wine [06:57] Colonel_Panic: nick completion :) [06:57] soadkombucha: play on linux is free, I believe you are thinking of cedega or crossover office [06:57] mneptok, it just sets temporarily... but when i open the next time its just standing at 66% only!! [06:57] when connecting to an Ubuntu machine, via samba, how do you surf to a folder, when the machine is Windows 7. I am trying to go to \\ip.address, but im being prompted for a user/password [06:57] ConfusedLinux_: theres dozens of irc clients out there. xchat is the common one. [06:57] actionParsnip: Not too long ago crossover was free for a while [06:57] my experience with playonlinux is terrible [06:58] it doesnt even install [06:58] what I want to do is be able to access the SSID and signal strength info from my wirelewss card [06:58] anyways [06:58] wubi time [06:58] be back soon [06:58] Colonel_Panic: What wireless card [06:58] ConfusedLinux_: what game exactly are you trying to play? Starcraft 1 2? 3 ? i dont even keep track. [06:58] profxavier: on the server run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and type your login password for $USER for all prompts [06:58] help on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/455777/ [06:58] Dr_Willis: It's 2 [06:58] it's a broadcom [06:58] profxavier: you can now authenticate as $USER [06:58] in a Dell Mini 9 [06:58] Does anyone know how to control the default zoom property for nautilus. For one of my folders it has got reset to 66% rather than 100% [06:58] Linux is 'bad' because wine cant play all windows games.. :) Gotta love the logic. [06:59] Colonel_Panic: Hmm. The only wireless card I know how to configure well is my realtek driver because those are a PAIN to get running on ubuntu [06:59] Dr_Willis: its flawed, it's wines fault ;) [06:59] actionParsnip, then any domain/user combo, as long as user is on the server, should work ? [06:59] * wise_crypt cant understand that [06:59] profxavier: just needs to be the username you used, no need for domain stuff [06:59] Well,if I mouse over the wireless signal icon in my system tray, it displays the SSID and other info about the network [07:00] Does anyone know how to control the default zoom property for nautilus. For one of my folders it has got reset to 66% rather than 100% [07:00] eh [07:00] Colonel_Panic: Does it at least connect? [07:00] actionParsnip: thanks for your help [07:00] yeah, it works fine [07:00] Colonel_Panic: Lucky you. I had to compile my drivers. [07:00] slacker-: np bro [07:00] dr_willis it wont even install Ubuntu Netbook [07:00] Colonel_Panic: And they're still iffy sometimes... Although I downloaded a slightly more recent release and it seems to be running better [07:00] if I open the connection manager, the ESSID, BSSID, signal strength, etc. are displayed [07:00] actionParsnip, the Windows dialog already pre-fills that info in [07:01] but that info does not show up in iwconfig [07:01] Does anyone know how to control the default zoom property for nautilus. For one of my folders it has got reset to 66% rather than 100% [07:01] Hmm [07:01] profxavier: i see, you may have to change it to the name on the Ubuntu side which is what you authenticating against [07:01] ah, perfect [07:01] Colonel_Panic: I have no idea [07:01] what I want to do is access that info somehow, so I can display it on my conky-enhanced desktop [07:01] working, thanks actionParsnip/Dr_Willis [07:01] does anyone know the name of the connection manager in Ubuntu? [07:01] chinmaya__: the people in #gnome may know where that setting is at.. ive never had one folder get 'stuck' [07:02] Does anyone have a simple way, like Wubi, to install Linux Mint 9 dual booted with Windows 7? [07:02] ConfusedLinux: dont use mint. I dont see any point in using mint. [07:02] !mint | ConfusedLinux [07:02] ConfusedLinux: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [07:02] Dr_Willis, thanks!! I will get this to them... :) [07:02] ConfusedLinux: if you want to 'test' out linux in an easy way. try it in virtualbox. [07:02] Colonel_Panic: WICD [07:02] !mint | ConfusedLinux [07:02] WICD? [07:02] OK [07:03] Dr_Willis: i believe it has all the restricted stuff already rolled in [07:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299462 [07:03] I wonder how I can go about accessing that information then [07:03] That was a few years ago [07:03] dr_willis: dont know how, also, mint might work 1st try unlike ubuntu [07:03] But I can't see them changing it too much [07:03] actionParsnip: its got a lot of JUnk rolled in. :) [07:03] lemme check synaptic [07:03] hi all [07:03] ConfusedLinux: go do what you want.. but then see the Mint channel not here. [07:03] Dr_Willis: yah [07:03] I'm thinking about writing a python script to pass that daya to conky [07:03] Colonel_Panic: WICD is not the main connection manager. [07:03] =OK... [07:03] i have a trident tv tuner card which works fine on windows [07:03] but in linux its not recognised [07:04] HeTaL: What is it then? I'm curious [07:04] Colonel_Panic: Did you try command arguments for iwconfig? [07:04] well, I just want to find out where that information is stored [07:04] HeTaL: its still a good network manager, its DE independant too so can be used on any desktop without issue [07:04] how to use my tv tuner card in ubuntu 10.04 [07:04] actionParsnip: Does it work with the ubuntu wireless panel? [07:04] yeah that ESSID, BSSID, signal strength, etc doesn't show up. [07:04] actionParsnip: I thought he might want to run it after it crashed. [07:04] soadkombucha: not seen that before [07:04] Colonel_Panic: iwconfig x [07:04] dr_willis: whats the mint channel? [07:04] HeTaL: i prefer it personally [07:04] actionParsnip: Same here [07:04] dr_willis: new to irc as well [07:05] ConfusedLinux: no idea. see the mint homepage.. and i dont know that either.. [07:05] actionParsnip: Seen what? [07:05] soadkombucha: It's a gnome default, if I remember correctly. Can't remember the name [07:05] !mintsupport | ConfusedLinux [07:05] ConfusedLinux: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:05] actionParsnip: The panel icon that displays the wireless connectivity? [07:05] Colonel_Panic: just download network-manager from apt and see what in it might do the trick :) [07:05] ok [07:05] soadkombucha: ubuntu wireless panel [07:05] one sec [07:05] actionParsnip: The icon that displays the wireless network manager === wwarrior_ is now known as wwarrior [07:06] soadkombucha: oic, yeah it runs around there [07:06] it's something to do with that wl-broadcom driver [07:06] actionParsnip: I'm going to try it out [07:06] soadkombucha: you mean the indicator applet [07:06] actionParsnip: Yeah I didn't know the name for it [07:06] soadkombucha: it doesnt support 3G afaik [07:06] also, my wifi adapter shows up as eth0 [07:06] здравствуйте [07:06] dr_willis: heres the error ubuntu netbook gives me when i try using Wubi [07:06] soadkombucha: it may run in the tray rather than indicator. i dont use gnome [07:07] sorry, I mean eth1 [07:07] !ru | liga [07:07] liga: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:07] Wow WICD looks nice [07:07] if I plug in my USB wifi adapter, it shows up as wlan0 [07:07] dr_willis: one sec, I have to wait for the error [07:08] ConfusedLinux: i never use wubi either. I do normal dual boots on my netbook. I thought you had a WINE issue? [07:08] soadkombucha: its a pc with a green bar, not exactly a looer [07:08] dr_willis: i have tons of linux issues. [07:08] msg NickServ identify mailjol [07:08] is there a way to change the name of my internal broadcom adapter to wlan0 instead of eth0? [07:08] raj-darkmystery: oops. password change time [07:08] sorry if this sounds confusing [07:08] mnemon, yes hehe :) [07:09] I think it's some strange quirk of wl-broadcom driver [07:09] Colonel_Panic: from what ive noticed that name depensds on the driver its using. I got a similer issue on one of my laptops [07:09] Colonel_Panic: thw wireless works.. its just a little confuseing to some applets [07:09] dr_willis: it doesn't recognize that a disk is in in both Wine and Playonlinux so whenever I want to play I have to type stuff into terminal. When I do get it running, about three or four minutes into a game it will kick me out of ubuntu. Now wubi wont work. [07:10] <`Assassin> What's the name of that Ubuntu app with which you install drivers? [07:10] dr_willis: wubi might be working this time [07:10] I believe if it was named wlan0 instead of eth0, the info relevant to wifi will be displayed [07:10] by conky [07:10] get what I'm saying? [07:10] OK I did NOT get enough sleep last night, and it's going on 1:15AM here === soadkombucha is now known as soadkombucha_sle === soadkombucha_sle is now known as soad_sleep [07:10] ConfusedLinux: often with wine - and some games. the issue can be the game-cd-copy protection. ive had to use various no-cd-cracks in the past to play my 'legally bought' games in Wine befor,. [07:11] soadkombucha_sle: i'm in the closing minutes of a 12 hour shift at work, i'm shattered [07:11] !away > soad_sleep [07:11] soad_sleep, please see my private message [07:11] ConfusedLnux, have you looked up the game in the WineHQ? [07:12] yes [07:12] what game is it? [07:12] dr_willis: i think there might be a developer-made no cd thing [07:12] starcraft [07:12] I've been able to get a lot of games running in Linux under Wine [07:12] well you apparently have magical powers... [07:12] ConfusedLinux: starcrtaft 1? 2? 1.3.34.2? [07:13] ConfusedLinux, how much RAM do you have in your machine? [07:13] dr_willis: SC 1, latest patch. 4gb ram and 2.11 ghz processor [07:13] dr_willis: also SC brood-war [07:13] ooops [07:13] ConfusedLinux: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=72 [07:14] actionParsnip: believe me, ive read it multiple times already [07:14] ConfusedLinux, I've never played Starcraft so I wouldn't know about that game specifically [07:14] How much RAM do you have in your machine? [07:14] how can I run applications on my Windows 7 system [07:14] 4gb [07:15] and a 2.11ghz processor [07:15] like they would be running on Ubuntu, in a GUI... [07:15] that's a good amount of RAm [07:15] ... [07:15] have you considered running the game in a virtual machine? [07:15] profxavier: in linux? unless they are portable apps it most likely wont work due to registry entries [07:15] profxavier: clarify what you mean... [07:15] hi [07:15] 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 [07:15] profxavier, what apps? [07:15] i want to run firefox, but from putty [07:16] putty? why? [07:16] colonel_panic: well A. i dont know how to get ubuntu into a virtual machine. B. ive heard it doesnt work. [07:16] which runs off my Ubuntu station, which I have SSHed into [07:16] Colonel_Panic: central point of execution, settings and profiles i one place [07:16] ubuntu netbook ISO is almost downloaded from wubi [07:16] profxavier: to see a 'linux' application ran remotely on the windows machine. You will nee d a X server on the window smachine such as 'xming' [07:16] Ihava problems getting gnash working like adobe flashplayer in Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 [07:16] profxavier: so short answer "install xming' on windows [07:16] ConfusedLinux: you run a virtualization package like VirtualBox, and install Windows into that [07:17] profxavier : try lynx, browser for terminal [07:17] it will display your Windows desktop in a window [07:17] profxavier: if you connect with x formwarding enabled in putty, you can launch firefox in the putty session and it will appear on the windows screen (assuming you have an x server like xming running) [07:17] and you casn install and run any Windows apps you like [07:17] for all intents and purposes, it will be just like running Windows [07:17] lgp: why not use the flashplugin-nonfree package ? [07:17] but... on top of Lkinux [07:17] Linux [07:17] colonel_panic: you mean install ubuntu in it? I like windows better. also what would that solve? [07:18] starcraft would still freeze... [07:18] you.re currently running Linux, correct? [07:18] no [07:18] i just reinstalled it [07:18] what is it you want to do, exactly? [07:18] ConfusedLinux: have you tried both versions of wine? [07:18] no [07:18] plasy Starcraft from within Lmux? [07:19] it doesnt work [07:19] ConfusedLinux: uninstall wine and then install wine1.2 [07:19] you want to play Starcraft within Linux? [07:19] yes [07:19] OK [07:19] thats the only reason i want linux [07:19] It doesnt work for me......I can get the controlpanes to work. [07:19] 1. install VirtualBox [07:19] it doesnt work on windows 7, just so you know [07:19] Colonel_Panic: better use wine [07:20] !wine | ConfusedLinux [07:20] ConfusedLinux: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [07:20] 2. Open Virtualbox and Install Windows onto the virtual machine [07:20] it wont work panic [07:20] thats why im getting linux [07:20] to make it run IN linux [07:20] not in a fake w7 [07:20] 3. Install Starcraft on your Windows installation in virtualization [07:20] ... [07:20] or you could just ignore me [07:20] 4. Play Starcraft [07:20] whats the point of emerald themer? it doesnt let you change themes via it does it? [07:20] 5. have the game freeze after 3 minutes [07:21] you forgot that one [07:21] You've tried it? [07:21] yes [07:21] on the actual w7 [07:21] hi all [07:21] oh sorry [07:21] firefox was an example of an application that runs in a GUI, that can be run from a call, from within putty [07:21] I didn't see where you mentioned that [07:21] just an example [07:21] k [07:21] anyone remember my problem with the freezing after install? [07:21] maybe I casme in after you mentioned that [07:21] i realize I can install FF for Windows [07:21] on my win98-era computer [07:22] it runs fine on Windows 98, XP, vista, but not Windows 7 or ubuntu [07:22] so thats why I wanted to get linux, to see if it would work there [07:22] profxavier: I use 'xming' to 'ssh' to my linux box's from my windows machines and run linux apps on the local windows desktop. that way i can haev a gnome-terminal, or gedit, or other apps appear here.. while they are actually running on the box in the basement. :) [07:22] and in wine and playonlinux, it said there was no CD in [07:23] so i used terminal to start it [07:23] and it worked [07:23] but then kicked me out of ubuntu after a few minutes [07:23] and said that it wasnt installed, when i was playing it... [07:23] ConfusedLinux: ubuntu totally crashed? or the game crashed? or the Desjktop crashed back to GDM? [07:23] guys how to i add myself to the to the user group vboxusers using the graphical add users program? i can see my user name in gui but how? [07:23] using lucid [07:23] dr_willis: it went back to the login screen [07:24] ConfusedLinux: so 'X' crashed then basically. [07:24] profxavier: www.andlinux.org [07:24] ConfusedLinux: and whats your video card? [07:24] whats the point of emerald themer? it doesnt let you change themes via it does it? [07:24] dr_willis: not too sure. i know everything else though [07:25] actionParsnip: were you replying to my wifi question? [07:26] soo ubuntu came prepackaged w this great little app called tomboy notes ... and i went to use the spell correct on it ... and it crashed ...... now it wont start back up [07:26] Dr Willis: xming looks mad cool, thanks for mentioning it [07:26] jjj [07:26] ConfusedLinux: from what i just googled. starcraft in wine. cant work online/in battlenet. but should work with the latest wine. I dont even know where my old starcraft cd is at. [07:26] dr_willis: those people have a different problem. I got onto battlenet fine. it still crashed. [07:27] ConfusedLinux: Some Windows apps (especially games) do not work in Wine [07:27] ruari: yep its handy. Its a little odd how the licensing/release schedule works. at least it used to be. If you wanted the latest you were expected to give a little $$ to the project. :) [07:27] 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 [07:27] especially newer games, I should have said [07:27] colonel_panic: there is youtube videos of people playing it online in wine in ubuntu [07:27] colonel_panic: are videos* [07:28] ConfusedLinux: so that game worked, ran. but then X crashed.. thats the 'core' of the problem/ [07:28] dr_willis: what is this "X"? [07:28] did these videos give a link to a tutorial showing how to get it running? [07:28] ConfusedLinux, wineisn't supported here ~ go to #winehq / http://winehq.org [07:28] colonel_panic: no, and if they did i guarantee it wouldnt work on my comp [07:29] ConfusedLinux: X is the core of the Linux Desktop. [07:29] wildbat: im hardly talking about wine. [07:29] ConfusedLinux: the 'foundatiion' of the whole GUI system. [07:29] ConfusedLinux, have you tried these tutorials? [07:29] dr_willis: oh ok [07:29] colonel_panic: i said there arent any [07:29] X Windows [07:29] colonel_panic: atleast that work. [07:30] have you tried them? [07:30] yes [07:30] dr_willis: so would it be a problem with wine or ubuntu or my video card? [07:30] you might want to consider installing a dual-boot with Windows and Linux [07:30] ConfusedLinux: it sounds more a problem with the video card/X server/Desktop then it is a wine issue [07:30] thats what i have... [07:31] When setting up my partitions, I accidentally told one drive to mount at /meda/sdfsdf rather than /media/sdfsdf how can I change this? [07:31] Im suprised theres not some dozen+ pages on getting starcraft working in Win7 out there. [07:31] aurilliance: edit /etc/fstab [07:31] aurilliance: and make sure the proper directory exists in /media/ [07:31] so why not just boot into Windows and run Starcraft under Windows instead of dicking around with Wine? [07:31] dr_willis: okay, so there isnt any simple fix? [07:31] Dr_Willis, thanks [07:31] how many times do i have to say it [07:32] ConfusedLinux: want me to wave my magical wand? :) [07:32] i tried on windows [07:32] it freezes [07:32] dr_willis: ? [07:32] then there's some other issue at fault [07:32] well wine also said "the game isnt installed" while i was playing it... [07:32] if it freezes and crashes in both Windows or Linux, then there's obviousoly something else to blame [07:32] hmm xming isnt working [07:33] i setup X11 forwarding in my sshd_config [07:33] profxavier: its a complex tool. check its docs/guides and logs [07:33] what radio plugins can I use on rhythmbox so i can broadcast? [07:33] but I get "Error: Can't open display:" === Hannibal is now known as Neo|Desktop [07:33] colonel_panic: or maybe windows 7 has that problem for EVERY 7 user, and linux/wine is just retarded? [07:33] colonel_panic: and yes, the majority of 7 users have that problem [07:33] profxavier: be sure you dont accidently run more then 1 x server. I also recall issues where if i ran the wizard to start an app more then once. it wouldent work properly sometimes. [07:33] Linux is a fantastic OS for a lot of things [07:34] ConfusedLinux, what problem [07:34] Hi I just downloaded a program that works for windows only, I have wine installed, but for some reason when I double click to install the program, it gives me an error [07:34] playing Windows games, not so much [07:34] starcraft crashes X [07:34] http://gaming.icrontic.com/article/get-starcraft-working-on-windows-7-three-easy-steps/ [07:34] :) [07:34] one sec [07:34] deb_df: What does the program do? [07:34] i doubt i havent already read it [07:34] * Dr_Willis looks at his HUGE box of old old old windows games... [07:34] and decides to not dig it out. [07:35] willis those 3 steps dont fix anything [07:35] jordan_u: its just a video editor [07:35] supposedly the freezing is a problem with ddraw.dll [07:35] doubt... you haven't...already read it... is that as triple or just a double-negatigve= [07:35] learn to spell [07:35] sounds like you're dooming yourself to failure before even trying [07:35] ConfusedLinux, please calm down [07:35] deb_df, what error [07:35] Colonel_Panic: thats the extent of my research on the topic. so im basically done. [07:35] what would I do to find out which displays are available, which are in use? [07:36] what exactly do you expect from us? [07:36] its says: "not marked as executable" [07:36] oopps wromng nick again. :) heh [07:36] * Dr_Willis enlarges his fonts again [07:36] holas viva mexico [07:36] jordan_u: its says: "not marked as executable" [07:36] deb_df, ok mark as executable [07:37] Is Starcraft even compatible with Windows 7? [07:37] ha! [07:37] it worked [07:38] It's a pretty old game, isn't it? [07:38] Colonel_Panic: it has 'issues' from what i juszt googled. [07:38] Colonel_Panic: this is ubuntu, not windows [07:38] Colonel_Panic: 11 yrs old. [07:38] xangua, thanks [07:38] Also, the install.exe and setup.exe inside of the starcraft disk are marked as not executable, so wine cant open them [07:38] Colonel_Panic: it also seems it had issues in wine. most of which have been fixed at this time. [07:38] yeah, I fixed the color problem that most people have [07:38] well if somebody's not even willing to try... [07:38] ... [07:38] ConfusedLinux: thats due to a quirk in the wine/launcher.. which is a very annoying bug. [07:38] ConfusedLinux, check the appdb and /join #winehq for specific game help [07:39] !appdb | ConfusedLinux [07:39] ConfusedLinux: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [07:39] you dont understand how much i tried before coming to irc [07:39] ConfusedLinux: so you basically use wine via command line to launch the exe's [07:39] Colonel_Panic: for windows support please join ##windows [07:39] Haha I don't need Windows support! I don't even run Windows! [07:39] Colonel_Panic, lets get back on topic then [07:39] bazhang: I already checked the db [07:39] ConfusedLinux: if Wine is crashing X so badly its going back to the GDM login. well thats the problem to check into. [07:39] OK howabout my wifi driver issue? [07:39] ConfusedLinux, then /join #winehq [07:40] is it possible to have my wifi adapter renamed to wlan0 instead of eth1? [07:40] ConfusedLinux: this "Starcraft won't work" issue is now best moved to #winehq. the problem is WINE, not Ubuntu per se. [07:41] Colonel_Panic: i think its possible.. but i dont recall how. :) [07:41] >insert pun about a certain user being confused< [07:41] mneptok: how can you be sure that the problem is wine? [07:42] ConfusedLinux: well, i'm not entirely. the problem could be that you don't have the lsightest idea what you're doing. but i'm trying to be nice. [07:42] mneptok: thats true. linux is really confusing. [07:42] ConfusedLinux: only to new users. [07:42] * Dr_Willis finds windows confuseing. [07:43] we are opposites [07:43] but we dont want to start that OT again. [07:43] Windows 7 was *NOT* MY idea [07:43] ConfusedLinux: in any event, your Starcraft issue is not going to get fixed here. i siggest asking in #winehq. [07:43] * Dr_Willis has now spent more time researching Starcraft, then he has actually ever PLAYING the game. [07:43] *suggest [07:44] mneptok: i've got more help here than there. nobody has said anything. [07:44] ConfusedLinux: now if you have several windows games that cause wine to crash so badly it goes back to GDM. well that may be a Driver issue/video issue. or some deeper linux issue.. [07:44] might I recommend World of Goo? That's an excellent game that runs great in Linux [07:44] ConfusedLinux: there are also updated versions of wine at the winehq web site that may work [07:44] ConfusedLinux: that's not a salient point. the discussion *belongs* in #winehq. [07:44] colonel_panic: do a cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [07:45] free software is free but you have to make it work [07:45] is there anyway to install an old ati card onto ubuntu 10.04?.

[07:45] deb_df, what card do you have [07:46] I want to upgrade/download the adobe flashplayer on my new Ubuntu 64-bit 10.04 machine. I think I tried all versions mentioned on the website http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. What to do to get it installed ? [07:46] ConfusedLinux: do BOTH.

I never downioad it from adobes site [07:46] what should I do about misbihaving google earth on Lucid amd64? The one that I downloaded from google after that, does not even start.. [07:47] nikolam: run it in terminal, look for error messages. [07:47] Dr_Willis: Is there a apt-get way to do that ? [07:47] Anyone have a pointer to a page, etc that shows how to setup wireless with WPA2 without network-manager? [07:47] Dr_Willis, yes and it does not say where to report error log [07:47] problem is that one from repos have issues with display [07:48] ruari, all I need do is change the name in there and it will work fine? [07:48] Clemens: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree , install ubuntu-restricted-extras to also install video and audio codecs, etc [07:48] any1? [07:48] It worked by the way, thank you.

[08:11] i have installed both .34 and .35 kernels [08:11] mek8630: i'd say very caution. Some are very experimental [08:11] so far no problems [08:12] Dr_Willis: yeah I am wanting to use karmic kernel [08:12] whats that [08:12] thalib: why are you using the 35 kernel? [08:13] ActionParsnip: I am wanting to use an older version [08:13] mek8630: same applys, you may find some stuff in your release needs certain stuff in the kernel which may be lacking in older versions [08:13] i just installed becuase i have problem loading my tuner... on the way i fouind it support .34 so installed .35 also when i found it [08:13] nothing specific [08:14] i'm just learning ubuntu and very much newbie [08:14] sudo gem --reinstall install rails -v 2.3.5 [08:14] is this syntactically correct?

[08:17] I would think that any 'driver' issues for video would be more of a Driver and X version issue then a kernel issue. In any case.

[08:22] i ran "git checkout ." ( which should bring all my files back to the last commit ) [08:22] Dr_Willis: google time for me. [08:23] HOWEVER ... i run "spec spec/" and i get the following [08:23] Noobuntu: its hard to trouble shoot such problems.

[08:27] Noobuntu: what other problems are you having besides your top panel disappearing? [08:27] Alright ya thats what i'm still kinda learning, so since I'm using ubuntu then I should just try to find the package thats meant for my distro. and if not find a similar program [08:27] alright thanks ruari I'll look at the site [08:28] Noobuntu: the reason I ask is because I had that problem with Xubuntu and there is a help forum that tells you how to fix it [08:28] S1564: what are you trying to install anyway?

[08:32] Noobuntu: do you have a cd burner? [08:32] dr_willis: didn't check, I got on ubuntu and got chatzilla [08:32] alright, also as far as the repository goes then what is that exactly, is just websites that tells the manager where to look for programs [08:32] mek8630: yeah, cant I use a flash drive/usb though? [08:32] Noobuntu: that is a #1 critical bit of info on any troubleshooting. [08:32] Noobuntu: there is a way but I don't know how, I always use cd installation [08:32] dr_willis: how do i find out from ubuntu then? [08:32] S1564: no its a server with files.. not a 'web site' [08:33] Noobuntu: lspci commahd should tell you the 'hardinfo' program may also tell you in a nicer gui [08:33] just type lspci in terminal?

I still use the others on a couple computers but I will be sticking with Mint from now on [08:34] mek8630: I want to try but don't want to mess anything on my windows 7 up. [08:35] Noobuntu: -> sudo apt-get install hardinfo , then run 'hardinfo' is a nice gui tool for a lot of system info [08:35] Noobuntu: I know what you mean, the only way I could help you out with is the cd installation. I could walk you right through it. But if you are wanting to use usb then you will have to read forums and stuff to get help [08:35] alright Thanks ruari for the website [08:35] I still don't get it... where am I supposed to uncomment the line "devfs=mount"? [08:36] mek8630: if it can't harm my comp then ill do it, but i'll need to be on windows. so, how about tomorrow? its 3 am here. lol.

[08:40] Dr_Willis, thanks, i'll see what i come up with. [08:40] biggest danger to a ubuntu system i find is users doing things.. err.. wrong [08:40] dr_willis: if you were serious, yes i know my password. [08:41] hi there it is possible to lock home folder for all users and make password on that ? [08:41] dr_willis: where can i find hardinfo? or should i run it through command line? [08:41] jerry_: what are you trying to acomplish with thuis? [08:41] Noobuntu: 'sudo apt-get install hardinfo' will install it. [08:42] Noobuntu: then run the command 'hardinfo' [08:42] dr_willis: k [08:42] dr_Wilis .....the thing is that kids was deleeted some files from my home folder i need it lock it down and make pass on that [08:42] can anyone help me restore my screen resolution to 1680x1050. Ub 10.04 started up and changed my monitor settings [08:42] could make a group and add a password to the group for /etc/home i think...

[08:43] I also cannot detect my monitor to reset the resolutions [08:43] hi i what to learn on how make an ubuntu base distribution can any one help me. [08:43] dr_willis: would it be the Display controller or the VGA compatible controller that is it? [08:43] yap exactly [08:43] Noobuntu: look at both.. vga proberly === lance_ is now known as Guest5851 [08:44] jerry_: time to set the screensaver back to lock the machine when you walk away im thinking. Im not sure what else you are going to do. [08:44] dr_willis: want me to type out exactly what it says? [08:44] Noobuntu: look at it.. read it.. summaruze it.. think about what it says. :) [08:44] jerry: chmod 700 /home/username [08:44] hello all ... i think i've got a corrupted (few) file .. can i get a confirmation ? http://pastie.org/1020571 [08:45] dr_willis: Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [08:45] mek8630: how should I find you tomorrow? [08:45] Noobuntu: check out some of the other things in hardinfo and see if you can get any more info. at least you know its an Intel Mobil 4 now. [08:45] Noobuntu: yeah I will meet you here [08:46] DR-willis i just have idea but im not sure if it can be done .....changing the premisions orr installing some clever app. which can make this orr i dont realy know ..you know if they go on internet wtching movies orr somethig between that they jumping everywhere but i dont have always time watching them and there we go [08:46] Noobuntu: apparently you are on the same time zone so what you thinkin like 11pm or somethin or you want something sooner? [08:46] mek8630: earlier in the day [08:46] i'm using virtualbox 3.1.6 , and my guest OS (xp) keeps reporting different cpu speed ... what is worse... the speed is very slow (50MHz), even my host is 2GHz intel core 2 duo.... has anyone experienced this before? [08:46] is anyone around to help me restore my monitor resolution settings? [08:46] jerry_: its not very clear to me what you are wanting to do exactly. There is the 'guest' account feature of ubuntu - you can use to let the kids get on and watch cartoons. [08:47] Noobuntu: I am going to send you private message [08:47] hi i have a problem i what to practice php but php is not working on my computer can any one help me.. [08:47] Noobuntu: look for it over on the left under where it says Ubuntu [08:47] jerry: chmod 700 /home/jerry would prevent other users from coming into your home directory [08:47] ciao a tutti quanti [08:47] !it [08:48] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [08:48] dr_willis: thats all i can seem to find, anywhere specific to look? [08:49] DR_willis sorry for bad explanation i just want my home folder on root password anytime i will open my account i want passw.on my home folder becouse of kids ... i dont have solution for that it is not the second time where my files are gone -))) [08:50] dr_willis: 4gb ram, intel 2.11 dual core processor [08:51] jerry_: you allready have to enter your password when you login, so you are sitting there reading email. save a file.. you wan tto have to enter the password anytime you do ANY change to any file in your home? [08:52] jerry_: you get up to get a soda.. you can set the screensaver to lock automatically after 30 sec.. so you have to reenter your passwprd when you come back.. that keeps the kids off also. [08:52] yes taht is exactly what i want to do.....it is quiet crazy to lock screen orr use it xtrlock everytime i will go toilet dont you thing ;-) [08:53] Noobuntu: not really. the intel video drivers are constantly being worked on. so its possible you are having some video card driver issues. YOu may want to check the ubuntu forums for intel video 4 also. [08:53] jerry_: The screensaver can do this automatically.. or theres features where it can lock by just moving the mouse to a specific location. [08:53] Yo yo yo [08:53] can anyone help me change my lcd resolution? I can't get my old resolution back [08:54] Cloversg: what video card? === rww is now known as Mysteron [08:54] ok Thank you wery much i will try to do something [08:54] internal ati radeon 4250 with hardware dirivers [08:55] !ati | cloversg [08:55] cloversg: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:55] my old monitor settings were 1600x1050, working yesterday, booted today and I can't get it back. [08:55] Cloversg: I believe ati use a gui thing like nvidia does === Mysteron is now known as rww [08:56] cloversg: what caused the sudden change? New kernel maybe? [08:56] ActionParsnip, yes, I can access that, but on System>Preferences, can't change my LCD monitor to the higher resolutions [08:57] ActionParsnip, don't know, just changed last night after reboot [08:57] Cloversg: check the factoid, there may be a command or 2 for you to run to make things nice [08:57] ActionParsnip, as far as I know, I didn't update the kernal [08:58] the binary drivers are working ok, its just the monitor settings, where do I change that? xserver-xorg? [08:58] I want help in sharing internet... i have two pc.. one with wifi and one without.. i want to share the internet captured thru wifi to another pc.. how to do that? [08:58] !ics | avasz [08:58] avasz: 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 [08:59] i'm using virtualbox 3.1.6 , and my guest OS (xp) keeps reporting different cpu speed ... what is worse... the speed is very slow (50MHz), even my host is 2GHz intel core 2 duo.... has anyone experienced this before? [08:59] fire starter fails to start properly.. says: the device wlan0 is not ready even if i am connected right now thru wlan0 [08:59] cloversg: you could remove the driver then reinstall it [08:59] I used to be able [08:59] ActionParsnip, did that already [09:00] ActionParsnip, any way of setting the monitor resolution, trying it with xrandr [09:00] and i have already followed the first method that the bot gave me... it didnt work. [09:01] ActionParsnip, any prog to detect monitor settings? [09:01] ActionParsnip, and I hav a spare router too.. i want to send the wifi to that router first... [09:01] cloversg: you could go old school and formulate an xorg.conf file [09:01] cloversg, grand [09:02] Avasz: how do you mean send the wifi to that first? [09:02] ActionParsnip, tried that too, changing xserver-xorg no effect [09:02] cloversg: you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:02] ActionParsnip, I'm now stuck with a resolution one down. i remember I could detect my monitor from the menus, also there was a prog that did it [09:03] ActionParsnip, i mean.. i capture wifi of my college thru the laptop with wifi.. and i want to share the wifi to the router thru ethernet cable first.. [09:03] ActionParsnip, yep, tried that and restarted gdm [09:03] Avasz: that will depend on the router itself. Some can't do that. I know some linksys ones can [09:04] hi i have a problem how do you install php on ubuntu 10.04. can any one help me. [09:04] ActionParsnip, its dlink one... so we may not be sure that it can do that? [09:04] !lamp | anthony_ [09:04] anthony_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:04] ActionParsnip, yep, tried that and forced the res, but noting happend [09:05] Avasz: there are special firmwares you can use to make the router act as a wireless bridge [09:05] 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 [09:05] is there a way to disable X to where once the computer turns on then its a command line to where you manually have to startx [09:05] Hello people.... I'm trying to remove a ppa from my system but its not in /etc/apt/sources.list is there any other way to remove it? [09:05] ActionParsnip, ok.. if there is no router then can we do it or not? [09:05] Carsten^: in system -> admin -> software sources [09:06] hi [09:06] I found X within my Filesystem but I cant modify it, as its running [09:06] ok sorry I should have specified.. I need to do this via command line.. no gui available. [09:06] i already install lamp but when i try to display php on firefox it download it. it does not display it. can any one help me.. [09:06] Avasz: then no, you will need a wired link to your router to share, or put 2 wireless interfaces in your pc and then you can do it that way [09:07] i have a problem installing 10.04 on fakeraid, i know this bug was fixed lately (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub-installer/+bug/568050), is there any ISO that integrates this fix? [09:07] nope nothing works [09:08] ok guys the irc client i use sucks [09:08] neptune: theres dozen+ others out there [09:08] Wolverine1: disable the gdm service. and X wont start [09:09] Wolverine1: unless you want to be a bit more clear in your needs. [09:09] there are little bugs everywhere with the new ubuntu [09:09] neptune: there are little bugs everywhere in every os ive ever used. [09:10] since my Vic-20 on up.. [09:10] * Dr_Willis shows his age. [09:10] i have a problem installing 10.04 on fakeraid, i know this bug was fixed lately (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub-installer/+bug/568050), is there any ISO that integrates this fix? [09:10] i rely need help can any one help me i have a php problem. i already install lamp but still i can't display php on firefox. can any one help me. i rely need help so badly.. [09:11] I use to use vector linux where everytime, my pc would turn on then it would go to a command line user interface, I recently went to Ubuntu 8.10, so mainly just would like that to be back to how it use to be [09:11] how to create a symlink to a smb directory? [09:11] Dr willis as far as disabling the gdm service how about do you, do that [09:12] anthony_: I've heard this. There's a package you need but my web access is dog slow [09:12] !sysv | Wolverine1 [09:12] hey guys, do you know if it is possible to run X windows applications on your windows box via your server in a data center over ssh ? [09:12] szonek: the daily iso may do [09:12] say gkrellm or msfgui for example? [09:12] Wolverine1: check out the Sysv init system. I forget how you disable it in 8.10 - that is Old :) and ive not used it in years. [09:12] hi,,, i set up a dual boot with windows xop and ubuntu lucid, but my only connection to the internet is through my Dlink DWL G132 wireless network adapterm so i cant even go online in linux to download the files.. could someone please tell me how to access files i have downloaded from windows while in ubunru? [09:13] xibalba: with xming, you can sit on a windows mahcine.. ssh to a linux box.. and run a linux app and have it appear on the local windows machine. [09:13] robotchickenparm: mount the ntfs partition. The kernel can do this natively [09:13] so just run man sysv init system and look it up [09:13] ActionParsnip: what kind of a package i need to install to display php. [09:13] how to create a symlink to a smb directory? [09:13] Wolverine1: theres a service file in /etc/rc2.d i THINK that controlls gdm starting at boot.. but thats about all i rember [09:14] robotchickenparm: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will see the product line identifying the wireless chip. The make and model of the device is fairly moot [09:14] ActionParsnip: could you tell me how to do that? ive never run a dual boot before the last hour [09:14] raven: you dont link to somthing thats smb://server/share ..but You could mount the smb share via fstab to a set location, and link to that. [09:14] anthony_: its an extra package from the repo to make it display rather than download [09:14] ok, I tried using Ubuntu 10 or 9.04 but found that my sound stopped working after a bit so went a little older [09:14] robotchickenparm: run: sudo fdisk -l [09:14] ActionParsnip: only Daily Build i can find is for 10.10 [09:15] do you know if they fixed that bug in the newer versionz [09:15] raven: also if you are browsing the share with nautilus it may have a mountpoint set in the users .gvfs directory soemwhere [09:15] Wolverine1: given how vague the data you just gave is.. no one has any idea. :) [09:15] so when in windows should i move the file from myc:\ documents and setings/downloads to the c folder or somthing? [09:15] Wolverine1: get a 10.04 live cd and test it out [09:15] ActionParsnip: yes i know that it is a package but what is the name of that package. [09:15] or do i not need to do that at all [09:15] robotchickenparm: it will list the partitions. You can then run: sudo mkdir /media/win; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/win -o uid=1000,user [09:16] anthony_: like I said. I can't find it and my web is too slow. Didn't you read? [09:16] ActionParsnip, Solution found using xrandr [09:16] Dr_Willis, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on smb://192.168 [09:16] so.. if the router supports then how to share the internet? [09:16] robotchickenparm: replace sda1 with YOUR partition name [09:16] ActionParsnip, the link I followed is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474910 [09:16] raven: you need to use proper ooptions when mounting a samba share. [09:16] Second try: I need to remove a ppa via command line as there is no gui available. the program ppa-purge did not work for me, are there any other options, or files I can edit? There is no ppa's in sources.list [09:16] kk.. thanks... im gonna go try everything u just told me, and hopefully the next time i am in this room i will be using ubuntu! but if not can i come back for more help? [09:16] ok. so i need to search it on the web. [09:16] Dr_Willis, which options? [09:16] raven: the use of 'smb://' is ONLY used by the gnome file manager and some otehr gnome apps. [09:16] !ics | Avasz [09:17] Avasz: 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 [09:17] !samba | raven [09:17] raven: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[09:17] I tested it out and installed it once, & I found that after a couple of weeks of having Ubunt 10 install I found that my sound quit working [09:17] cloversg: wtg =D personally I only buy nvidia as their support has been phenominal since I've used linux [09:17] just wondered if that was fixed [09:17] Wolverine1: theres kernel and otehr updates every week or so. so its possible it was fixed.. [09:18] Szonek: you could make a custom iso using remastersys and apply the fix etc [09:18] works -> updates -> breaks -> more updates -> fixed it.. (is common) [09:18] Dr_Willis, only possible to mount with fstab? no way to mount manually with "mount"? [09:18] ActionParsnip, had problems with nvidia on my old board, this is a new one using the AMD HexCore with ATI Rad 4250, no problems with the drivers and progs (unlike nVidia) [09:19] raven: fstab and mount do the same things.. use mount if you want. [09:19] it was the monitor resolutions that was killing me [09:19] !info smbfs | raven [09:19] raven: smbfs (source: samba): Samba file system utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 1812 kB, installed size 5288 kB [09:19] raven: install that first and use smbmount if you want [09:19] its cool I give it another try, but as far as ubuntu 10.4 goes then would you know how to disable X or is it pretty much the same as you described early [09:20] Wolverine1: disable the gdm service. or use the new 'text' option to the kernel/grub [09:20] iptraf => "this program requires to be run by an administrator" [09:20] sudo chmod +s /usr/sbin/iptraf [09:20] iptraf => "this program requires to be run by an administrator". Just wondering, shouldn't that sudo +s make it run as root? [09:20] Hi anybody there for a little help. I have a very general question [09:20] Wolverine1: in 10.04 its /etc/init/gdm.conf you rename to disable gdm [09:20] sudo lshw -c network? [09:20] !ask | Sarmad [09:20] Sarmad: 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. :-) [09:20] alkisg: sudo iptraf ? [09:20] robotchickenparm: the c is capitalised [09:20] wise_crypt: shouldn't setting the suid bit make sudo not needed? [09:21] robotchickenparm: linux is VERY case sensitive [09:21] and also, whayt will sudo fdisk -1 do? [09:21] Instead of Slightly Case Sensitive? :) [09:21] lol [09:21] Dr_Willis, ok tnx [09:21] thatnks for all the help guys... [09:21] robotchickenparm: its an L for list to list partitions, like I said [09:21] alkisg: i dont want to show you how its bit dangerous [09:21] !mount | robotchickenparm [09:21] robotchickenparm: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [09:21] this is a great community.... way better than microsoft and dell where your warentyu runs out and you are just S.O.L [09:22] bitchin i found cyhwin had x11 server for win32 [09:22] Where can I find out how to create a new ext4 partition on a blank/new harddrive via command line? [09:22] wise_crypt: I'm trying to understand the suid bit better, don't worry, i know about the security implications. I just can't get it to work as advertised. [09:22] * xibalba very excited [09:22] xibalba: i found 'xming' worked better for me then cygwin [09:22] website? [09:22] xibalba: do i look like google? :) [09:22] =P [09:22] third try: I need to remove a ppa via command line as there is no gui available. the program ppa-purge did not work for me, are there any other options, or files I can edit? There is no ppa's in sources.list [09:22] alkisg: sorry just try googling about sudoers thing that all i can give you [09:22] was cygwin's buggy or just slow? [09:22] xming is a X server for windows.. cygwin is much 'more' [09:23] cygwin was buggy/slow and last i checked.. not updated in a LONG time [09:23] Thanks Dr. [09:23] Question: I used to request free CDs and distribute them mostly to computer professional who haven't tried Ubuntu before. Now I can see "becoming an Ubuntu member by contributing to Ubuntu, and thereby becoming eligible for more CDs". Kindly tell me how I can contribute and how eligibility process works? [09:23] wise_crypt: I've done it with sudo visudo, I just wanted to learn about the suid bit, i.e. why chmod +s isn't doing what I think it should be doing. Thanks though. [09:23] yeah. i just want an x11 win32 serv, this looks gret. [09:23] great [09:23] thanks people [09:23] alkisg: :| [09:23] xming has a nice little wizard where you enter the info and it can make a 'xterm' or whtever icon on your windows desktop to launch a terminal on the linux box :) [09:24] You can even set it up where putty works with it. [09:24] does it do the port forwarding or do i need to have putty running? [09:24] How do I create a new ext4 partition on a new empty harddrive? [09:24] o one more question b4 i leave... would it be unwise to load the full gnome ubuntu for my xbox? because i lkle gnome waay better than xfce and kde [09:24] xming has its own mini putty it can use.. or you can use your other putty also [09:24] bitchin this looks sweet, many thanks. [09:24] slide: use gparted.. it's got a nice gui where you can just click on hard drives and stuff [09:25] Can somebody please reply to my posted query above? [09:25] wise_crypt: maybe it's setting the effective uid, but not the real uid, and iptraf checks for the real uid (so it would work if iptraf was checking for the effective uid instead). [09:25] Slart, this is on a server install [09:25] alkisg: i dont know bu my iptraf works just fine with sudo iptraf :| [09:25] Sarmad: i would have to say check the ubuntu web site and forums. for that. or the #ubuntu-motu channel [09:25] slide: oh.. then there's parted, the non-gui variant of the same app [09:26] ah thanks [09:26] Sarmad: don't know how it looks now, but some time ago eglibility was measured in events [09:26] wise_crypt: Thanks - the point was not to use sudo. [09:27] well.. the !ics didnt work.. [09:27] !ics [09:27] 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 [09:27] alkisg as i point you it on your sudoers file just google more thats it [09:27] Sarmad: if you are active in your LUG, if you can show you are known to local community it worked [09:27] how can I reuse my 'home' partition with fresh 10.4 install? [09:28] wise_crypt: I don't need to google for the sudoers file as I said I already done it this way... It's the suid bit that's puzzling me. OK, I think we both know now what the other is saying. Thanks again. [09:28] ohir: actually the only way I have so to speak "contributed" is to use ubuntu as much as possible and tried to distribute it as much as possible which I feel is not enough to make me eligible right? [09:29] i guess because i have one router in-betweet the two machines.. [09:30] hugli, most reliable way to do that is to have planned ahead and made a separate partition for your home folders. [09:30] halp [09:30] I need to remove a ppa via command line as there is no gui available. the program ppa-purge did not work for me, are there any other options, or files I can edit? There is no ppa's in sources.list [09:30] i want more multi touch features [09:31] Carsten^, its a separate file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [09:31] thank you airtonix. [09:32] i can navigate forward and backward with 3 finger swipe in windows, can it work in linux? [09:32] Carsten^, depending on what you installed you could just "apt-get remove" the package and remove the source.list file with System > Administration > Software Sources [09:32] I need to totally remove them, broken repo's [09:33] Carsten^, what did you install ? [09:33] <_ath> To those with ati driver experience, please have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1518556 [09:33] cherokee webserver but i stuffed it up when adding. [09:33] airtonix: that's where I am. I have my users on a separate partition. The question is how to use it when reinstalling ubuntu from scratch [09:34] _ath, most people "get past" this problem by never buying ati cards ever again. [09:34] airtonix: or intel [09:34] hugli, when reinstalling, use manual partitioning and simply reassign the relevant partition to /home without formatting it. [09:35] hi guys i have a problem how can you port C progamming to edit the source code. like tuxmath program. can any one help me. [09:35] _ath, i guarantee you that will end up being the easiest and fastest option that produces the more reliable and desirable results. [09:35] hello, i've installed kubuntu on some toshiba laptop, but the wired network card has not been detected, what can i do? [09:36] I have an ati card and am using the standard ubuntu driver for it. Does that mean I don't use all its capabilities? [09:36] hugli, make sure you specify the filesystem type that it actually has too. [09:36] choppa I think I saw support for wireless cards in Ubuntu software center once [09:36] ace_: the opensource-driver cant handle 3d if i am correct [09:36] hmm ok iceroot ty [09:37] Is there a way to reverse a rm -rf ? [09:37] airtonix: Will the installer sort UIDs and usernames for me? Or will I have to create all my users in exactly the same order as on the old system? === vamshi is now known as pen [09:37] <_ath> airtonix: i can imagine that being the case, but there must be some way. [09:37] hugli, you still need to make the users again in the right order. so do something about backing up your user and passwords file for reference. [09:38] !undelete | benpro [09:38] benpro: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [09:38] benpro: good luck.. what did you delete? [09:38] _ath, there might be but its beyond the level of patience of anyone i've read about. [09:39] benpro: have a look at libtrash in the future, itsa trash for the shell working on top of the unlink-function [09:39] Dr_Willis: Juste a ton of mp3 with a bad find [09:39] find ./ -size +10M -exec rm \-rf '{}' \; [09:39] while I wanted +100M >< [09:39] hey there [09:40] dman [09:40] damn [09:40] anybody know why when I compile gimp 2.6.9 on my 32 bit ubuntu it works but doesn't work when I compile it on my 64 bit ubuntu? [09:40] <_ath> airtonix: still, i struggle to believe there isn't one person with my card who's got it working on *ubuntu 10.04 [09:40] ace_: that's pretty open question [09:40] ace_: do you mean it won't compile on 64bit, or it will compile, but won't run on 64bit [09:41] _ath, thats not what i said. [09:41] compiles but doesn't run on 64 bit [09:41] ace_: what happens when you try to run it [09:41] I am having trouble exporting the library path for its shared libraries [09:41] ace_: what happens when you try to run it [09:41] airtonix: thank you. Where is users and passwords file in ubuntu 9.09? [09:41] <_ath> hugli: /etc/passwd ? [09:41] when I try to run it from terminal it says it can't find one of the shared libraries [09:42] hugli: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow [09:42] when I run it from the menu it just hangs then stops [09:42] ace_: and which library and where is it looking [09:42] <_ath> airtonix: what did i misunderstand? [09:42] hugli: dont edit these files (if you dont know what your a doing) [09:42] im trying to figure out if this is telling me my ruby installation is corrupted: http://pastie.org/1020625 [09:42] it is looking in /usr/local/lib and all the libraries are there [09:43] looking for some gimpwidget librarie [09:43] it is suppose to look in /usr/local/lib I mean [09:43] ace_: where is it looking ? [09:43] _ath ikonia iceberg: thank you [09:43] _ath, i did not say there was no-one. what i was pointing at was that you are better off subscribing to your forum post and watching it once a week. you wont fix this in a short time. [09:43] it is just saying that the librarie is not found [09:44] ace_: run ldd against it and see where it actually looking/expecting libraries [09:44] ldd? [09:44] sorry I'm new to linux [09:44] <_ath> airtonix: trying some older driver versions now, we'll see. [09:44] ace_: then why are you custom compiling software if you are new ? [09:44] ace_: what's wrong with the versions in the repo ? [09:44] _ath you find very few people with ati cards in linux who know exactly what to do because most people just stop using ati and use nvidia isntead. [09:45] I'm not a new programmer and it is a good learning experience [09:45] ace_: ok - so run ldd against gimp [09:45] <_ath> airtonix: yeah it's been like that for a long time i remember. [09:45] <_ath> airtonix: but i got all excited when ati started releasing proprietary drivers in tandem with ubuntu releases. [09:45] version's in repo are a a bit behind [09:45] ace_: what's in the new version of gimp that's not in the one in the repo ? [09:45] ok I will research that ikonia and figure it out thanks [09:46] nothing much just some bug fixes and the likes [09:46] does asterisk support referring to outbound ? I mean referring through a proxy,is it possible or can i just refer to someone without going to proxy server [09:46] hello everyone [09:46] ace_: such as ? [09:46] _ath, but not only do you need to find someone with ati experience, you need to find someone who knows your card... from my experience with the different models of ati cards they may as well be different brands . [09:46] ace_: for you to go to the effort of all this, there must be something in the version you want/need other than a bigger version number and "it's the latest" [09:46] <_ath> airtonix: true. [09:46] sorry ikonia I didn't memorize the release notes but I could look it up for you [09:46] _ath: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [09:47] oh well I am trying to write a plugin for gimp and I figured compiling it was the best way to get the lay of the land [09:48] I started on gimp on the windows side and it has led me to the wonderful world of unix [09:48] <_ath> wise_cry1t: i know how to install / uninstall packages, thanks. [09:48] wow [09:49] ace_: vbox it then [09:49] i dont have access to the /dev/sdX folders [09:49] _ath: just a sugestion [09:49] so can i ask one more question? what does ldd stand for? [09:49] i'm not up on all the linux jargon wise [09:49] hello, I need some easy to use foto browsing/edition software, simmilar to irfanview :) [09:50] hmm [09:50] ezech, F-Spot? [09:50] google simply returns too many results, I need something you use and know it works [09:50] GIMP, F-Spot [09:51] ezech: use the package manager to search to see whats in the repos. [09:51] I'll be back in a bit ... switching to another os to back it up will you join you there [09:51] fspot works.. irfanview can work in wine also. :) [09:51] what I want to do is browse pictures (obviously) and do some simple edits, like crop, change saturation/contrast, make greyscale [09:51] ezech sounds like f-spot would do ya [09:51] I can't seem to get the correct syntax for my fstab to set this drive to force all files to nobody/nogroup ownership, "/dev/sdc1 /mnt/1.36TiB-03 ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro,uid=nobody,gid=nobody 0 0" whats wrong? [09:52] Failed to download repository information [09:52] slide: for starters uid and gid use a NUMBER not a 'name' [09:52] Dr_Willis, i tried the number too, didnt work [09:52] slide: and for linux filesystems. You dont just 'override' the permissions/ownership with a mount option.. at least ive never seen it done that way [09:53] exit [09:53] us [09:53] Dr_Willis, this is for a drive being shared over samba [09:54] slide, you can just change the permission of the files with chmod, it is ext4 you are mounting [09:54] [Ynaqdh] is what [09:54] slide: samba shares have options you can set also to override the 'permissions/ownership' to some degree. but what you are doing via that fstab line. I dont think will work [09:54] theres a Yes and a now ... wtf are the others [09:54] wildbat, yea but thats f'ing annoying....... any time i copy files locally to the shared folders i have to sudo chown the files.... [09:55] slide: you mean from windows to the share? or from linux to the shared mountpoint? [09:55] server irc.epiknet.com [09:56] from linux to the shared mountpoint via a local user, the file ends up with their permissions and then anyone accessing the share can't edit the files [09:56] f-spot looks nice, it depends on mono, and gtk-sharp - yuck :/ [09:57] ezech: yep. one reason i dont like it. [09:57] ezech: check package manager for other tools you may like. [09:57] hello this grub2 scripted thing is exciting [09:57] it auto-detects a partition as xp/nt/2000, but it's a recovery partition [09:58] Dr_Willis: I just thought that asking will be faster than checking one by one all the stuff thats in repo :) [09:58] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17787/clean-up-the-new-ubuntu-grub2-boot-menu/ [09:59] is there a simple way to override the title for an auto-discovered boot entry? [09:59] oh thanks [09:59] ezech: apt-cache search 'viewer' | grep image [09:59] ezech: you may find somthing that no one in here has ever used.

[10:10] well I have fedora and I was researched grub. It seemed to match what I was reading.

I'm looking to upgrade from 8.04 [10:11] cheers [10:11] vodl: it works fine forme on my 4 pc's [10:11] i install ndiswrapper and then i unistalled it :) now i wanna use my opensource wireless driver again. how could i ? [10:11] foobazbar: its not if you use startupmanager [10:12] vodl: it works fine for most people i imagine [10:12] Dr_Willis oh alright, just wondered if it wasn't still in alpha or something [10:12] Hi, i managed to set up booting a lucid live CD over the network (PXE/tftp). The only problem remaining is telling the bootloader (pxelinux/syslinux, NOT grub2) i want the live CD booted in german (and german keyboard). Since the live CD booting process changed completly in Lucid i am unable to find info on that by google. Can anyone shed some light on this? [10:12] vodl: err.. its been released now for some time.

[10:13] are there any .desktop skels? [10:13] bboy: be more clear. [10:14] Dr_Willis thanks for the insight, going to try and do an update from 8.04 and see how much that messes up my desktop :P [10:14] foobazbar: sudo startup manager [10:14] airdem: you can use most any .desktop file as an example.

[10:14] foobazbar: it can in here http://a3snet.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/screenshot.png [10:14] i mean which media player ,are you using ? [10:14] wise_cry1t I sintalled *and used* startup manager and it won't let you change the name of discovered entries. [10:14] totem or mplayer? [10:15] What's the best way to make a startup CD disk for Ubuntu? It seems to want to use a flash drive. [10:15] bboy: or vlc, or xbmc, or moovidia, or enna, or boxxee... :) it depends on your needs. [10:15] foobazbar: the entries should have been if it detected by update-grub [10:15] bboy i prefer vlc player, myself. compatable with almost every codec out there [10:15] ace_: the startup-disk-creator is designed to use a flash drive. [10:15] thanks [10:15] !! [10:15] ace_: it gerenates a live-cd on a flash drive setup. [10:16] they are listed [10:16] seems like a waste of a flash drive but ok [10:16] but you can't change what they are called [10:16] ace_: I never burn to cd's i always use flash drives to install from. they are much faster. [10:16] foobazbar: just change the default operating system then [10:16] Dr_Willis can you please point me to how to boot 10.4 from a usb stick? [10:16] I like to keep them on file... but then I used to use tapes way back then [10:16] foobazbar i think step # 6 in that guide i posted will tell you how to do that [10:17] vodl: get iso file.. run the usb-disk-creator tool.. make a flash drive.. plug it in.. reboot machine.. tell it to boot from flash drive.. [10:17] ok [10:17] wise changing the default is NOT RELEVANT: is there a simple way to *override the title for an auto-discovered boot entry?* That is no [10:17] Dr_Willis thanks, is the usb-disk-creator in the repos? [10:17] still seems like it could get expensive running 3 unixes [10:17] vodl: its installed by default [10:17] vodl: in the admin menu. Or use unetbootin [10:17] Dr_Willis arigato :) [10:18] ace_: I got a 8gb flash drive setup to boot 10 different iso files. :) [10:18] Dr_Willis that's crazy :)) [10:18] * Dr_Willis found 2GB flash drives for under $5 last xmas [10:18] oh how do you know which iso to select? [10:18] ace_: err.. i read the menu and pick the one i want.. how else? [10:18] foobazbar: are you sure its listed in the grub entries ? [10:19] ok doc [10:19] grub2 booting iso files = handy feature [10:19] foobazbar: try to reboot if it there ? [10:19] I can even put an iso file in /boot/ and have a grub entry as a 'rescue' option [10:19] and bioot the iso from teh hd.

[10:23] wise_cry1t: last i checked it couldent change the names... [10:23] vodl: what tool are you even talkling about? I dont use 8.04 [10:23] Dr_Willis: usb disk creator [10:23] Dr_Willis: not to that offcourse but changing the default works === bboy is now known as lonekid [10:24] vodl: no idea. guess its not there. try unnetbootin [10:24] vodl: you may need to get it from the unetbootin homepage [10:25] wise_cry1t: ive had that tool also 'break' my grub configs. :) and had to fix them by hand [10:25] Dr_Willis thanks again :) [10:26] Dr_Willis: it on repositry list i thing thats a save tool to use, but hey tools are just tools it depends on whom it works for , right ? :) [10:27] wise_cry1t: just because its in the repos dosent mean its 'safe' :) [10:27] it is in need of serious updateing. So does the computer-janitor tool [10:27] Dr_Willis: you have to say that to the dev then :) [10:27] hi, i've just installed kubuntu 10.04 but my wired network card (interface eth0) is not detected; also i don't have a /boot/grub/menu.lst but i don't know if that's the problem [10:27] wise_cry1t: its been said.

I have an issue with wireless connection signal. Ubuntu says the connection has droped and opens a new window to connect again, but the problem is in a false drop. I keep connected all the time. Does anyone have experienced the same with ubuntu 10.4? [10:53] is there a way to make the top row of the window, in the newest verstion of Ubuntu, disappear? I want the close, minimize and maximize buttons to the right [10:54] I downloaded adobe acrobat reader , where should I install it ? in /opt or /home ? [10:55] silv3r_m00n: want all users to access it.. /opt [10:55] but i thought it was in the package manager/repos somewhere [10:55] no it isn't [10:56] !graphics [10:57] hi . I have a problem after last update on ubuntu 10.4 after reboot i can log in gnome sesion. Automaticaly i log in , in a X sesion, but first gnome was my default sesion ! Can someone help me ! [10:57] hi how do i mount a ntfs partition in /Windows [10:57] blackbite: You mean you want to auto login to a differnt session now?

[10:58] but first it was [10:58] hello [10:58] its done via the gdm menus blackbite, You mean to say theres no OTHER sessions in the gdm menus? [10:59] i have just x sesion [10:59] would this be the area to ask how to get proftpd to work? [10:59] hey, sometimes when I boot up my ubuntu laptop, all the windows have no title bar. File, View, Edit ECT.... menus are there, I know reinstalling Ubuntu will fix the issue but I was wondering if any one knew the source of this issue? [10:59] cause im having lots of problems with it [10:59] blackbite: thats weird. You may want to disable the auto login stuff for now. [10:59] thelostone: here and teh programs homepage/docs (which may be better) [10:59] quit [11:00] thelostone: there's #ubuntu-server as well but ask here anyway === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [11:01] i know that is wierd but first i logged in normaly after update and reboot automaticaly i logged in in a X session === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [11:02] stefg: permintally i want to use the windows partition also as a shared data partition [11:03] meowbuntu: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [11:03] ntfs-3g for fun and proffie [11:03] ntfs-3g for fun and profit [11:03] meowbuntu: so you have to edit /etc/fstab [11:03] after logged out via gdm is no option for gnome session or Kde session [11:04] all my data drives are ntfs, is there any advantage to changing them to ext4 or someting native to ubuntu? [11:04] meowbuntu: but ntfs for a shared data partition is somewhat problematic... (Linux can't do fsck'S on NTFS). I use an ext2 partition and the ext2 filesystem driver for Windows [11:05] nixjr: do you ever intend to share them with a windows machine? [11:05] blackbite sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [11:05] nixjr: or use them as samba shares? [11:05] thank you [11:05] gdm reads its sessions from the various .desktop files.. its odd that it would lose those [11:06] Dr_Willis, right now I only have ubuntu on this box, but im thinking about making a seperate file server that will need to work with both windows and linux clients [11:07] ? [11:07] nixjr: with samba shares.. it will be easier to share linux filesystems I imagine. with ntfs. you will need to properly mount the ntfs shares ith the proper options. then share them [11:08] nixjr: but you can 'share' a ntfs filesystem over samba if you wanted to. but you wont have as fine controll over the permissions/ownership [11:10] hi [11:10] how i can add user too root group ? [11:10] !hi | Christian_ [11:10] Christian_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [11:10] Christian_: you don't, just use sudo [11:10] but i want:) [11:10] can help me? [11:11] Christian_: why not just login as root?, its basically the same thing [11:11] stefg this is ok but the ext2 or ext3 mounting partition is not guarnteed in windows [11:11] Dr_Willis, so assuming i want everyone on the network to have full read/write access to everything, if the file system is compatable with samba, it makes little difference what i choose from the clients point of view? [11:11] i wanna have 2 root user [11:11] no sudo [11:11] root user:) ! [11:11] You want.. but you dont know how? :) i wonder why you want.. [11:11] i loose the command .. [11:11] nixjr: yea. basically [11:11] meowbuntu: just wanted to make sure you know your options [11:12] Christian_: you may want to clarify what it is exactly you are trying to do. [11:12] stalso there is no real ned to fsck on an ntfs partition is there even if there is shared data like mp3, photos, documents all that [11:12] example i wanna add user [11:12] with root privilegies [11:12] Dr_Willis, thanks, i want to plan this right before i build it, i need to google exactly what makes all these filesystems different [11:12] thanks stefg [11:13] Christian_: what is wrong with sudo adduser? [11:13] nixjr: that is one issue with ntfs however.. if the filesystems get curupted.. it can be hard to 'fix' them on a linux machine. the tools are niot as good (yet) as the ones on windows [11:13] lol [11:13] i dont want [11:13] see my post ^ stefg [11:13] i just wanna enter to te shell [11:13] and use comands witouth sudo [11:13] sudo su [11:13] Christian_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:13] nixjr: i would have to say.. for a linux fileserver. dont use ntfs.. unless you have to [11:13] ok [11:13] Christian_: 'sudo -s' is the better way [11:13] mm well thanks [11:14] stall i have ion that partition are music files, photos, documents etc [11:14] Dr_Willis, there are dozens to choose from, striking ntfs off the list of choices shouldnt be much of an issue [11:14] * stefg all ^ [11:15] look this useradd -u 0 -o -g 0 "nombre_de_usuario" [11:15] :) [11:15] nixjr: ext4, or if you want to be 'cutting edge' theres the btrfs :) but that may be too risky at this time [11:15] Christian_: so?

[11:17] supppp [11:17] That sounds a bit silly [11:17] SkunkFoot: because uhhhh you failed to authenticate? [11:17] what do you want it to say? "You Suxor!' ? [11:17] Why not give the user a piece of information that might be of some use ... such as "Your password was wrong" [11:17] Something humans might understand [11:17] SkunkFoot: you DONT tell the attacker that they got Just the password wrong.. or just the nick wrong.. its that simple [11:17] Dr_Willis, i did a slackware build a long time ago and use rieserfs, although with my limited linux experiance, i really cant tell the difference between them [11:18] Windows will [11:18] one of the reasons people hate the 'pictures' on the gdm login screen also. [11:18] Or why not just say "You got your username or password wrong" [11:18] SkunkFoot: go file somtning on brainstorm then. [11:19] I didn't think I would get such a hostile reaction [11:19] So sorry to rock the board [11:19] SkunkFoot: dude just use sudo in a terminal instead of gksudo then [11:19] *boat [11:19] * Dr_Willis wonders what part of 'username: password: ' is not clear.... but oh well [11:20] * Dr_Willis votes to put the 'n' in to 'umount' so its the more understandable 'unmount' [11:21] Dr_Willis: alias unmount= "sudo umount" [11:22] :) [11:22] holas! [11:22] we need a web cam interface for GDM . so i can just smile at my pc and it logs me in [11:22] whats de meaning of: Warning: [Main]: QGLShader::link: "Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked.?

[11:52] !grub | DarsVaeda [11:52] DarsVaeda: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [11:52] that wiki article is wrong, does not work [11:52] !grub2 | DarsVaeda [11:52] DarsVaeda: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:52] :) [11:52] as said [11:52] does not work [11:53] !doesntwork [11:53] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [11:53] :-) [11:53] DarsVaeda, what you want to do? edit that grub file? set your defualt os number to '0'. what else? [11:53] :D [11:53] i added a custom repository and did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade; but the upgrade just tells me that there is one packet left for update; but it won't update; can anybody help? [11:53] i want to have another menu entry to boot up by default as it is now [11:54] the article says change the number of the default [11:54] DarsVaeda, e.g. you have 'abc' os as default now and you want to change it to 'xyz' os as default right? [11:54] GRUB_DEFAULT=0 , i did ran update-grub but it is still not the menu entry i want [11:54] yeah @ abhi_nav [11:54] DarsVaeda edit the file /etc/default/grub save and follow with a sudo update-grub, the first on the list is 0 second 1 and so on..... [11:54] like that [11:55] ...thats what i did -.- [11:55] DarsVaeda: grub2 uses the ordering given in /etc/grub.d. (reminds me of old sys-V-style init) [11:55] ^^ [11:55] DarsVaeda, you set it to 0. so what is wrong now? [11:55] my default is 0, the default i want is 5 [11:55] so i set 5 to default [11:55] hi i have a problem with KVMSwitcher (mouse and keyboard) [11:55] DarsVaeda: don't mess with teh files in /boot/grub ... will get overwritten anyway. [11:55] DarsVaeda look for GRUB_DEFAULT=0 [11:56] DarsVaeda, then set grub_defualt=5 [11:56] gnah [11:56] i did -.- [11:56] DarsVaeda, counting starts from 0,1,2,3 etc. so may your actually 5 is 4? [11:56] i hate grub2 maybe i just switch back to the old one [11:56] hi i have a problem with KVMSwitcher (mouse and keyboard) [11:56] DarsVaeda followed by in a terminal sudo update-grub [11:57] DarsVaeda or even sudo update-grub2 [11:57] heuu lol, i loss mouse and after keyboard, but i can't see error [11:57] * stefg thinks grub2 sucks, too.... unnecessary obfuscation [11:57] yeah forget about it [11:57] another question [11:57] how do i switch back to grub¹ [11:57] :D [11:57] :( [11:58] DarsVaeda: look at /etc/grub.d ... you have to order the modules by giving the numbers in the filename [11:58] yeah i did [11:58] its the 6. entry [11:58] so it must be 5 [11:58] i set it in the file in etc/default [11:58] run update-grub, its in boot/grub now [11:58] but does not work [11:59] DarsVaeda: and did you do a grub-update afterwards (so /boot/grub/grub.cfg got rewritten)? [11:59] sooo how do i switch back to grub¹ === meowbuntu is now known as its-me-again [11:59] DarsVaeda: you are asking for trouble ... [11:59] DarsVaeda have you tried allready? try sudo update-grub2 [11:59] hi i need a text editor [12:00] arunkumar413: so? theres proberly 30 to choose from [12:00] arunkumar413: you have one already i guess [12:00] stefg i'm just f*cked by grub2, never run in any probs with the old version, now everything is overcomplicated i think [12:00] geditor in 10.4 is generating a formatted text [12:00] arunkumar413, abiword [12:00] arunkumar413: huh? [12:01] DarsVaeda: i agree... but my attempts to switch back to grub 0.98 always led to desaster. debian and ubuntu decided to switch b/c grub (1) is unmaintained [12:02] Hi. I am recording and streaming a radio stream via the headphone monitor. Now I would like to add my headphone micro too. What software would you use to record and redirect the headphone mic directly to the headphone monitor? Or is there a simple PulseAudio solution? Didn't find one... [12:02] i try echo -e "\a" to make the system speaker beep but I think it might be turned off, how do i turn it on? [12:03] abhi_nav: abiword download size is 11mb,can u suggest another [12:03] arunkumar413, you dont have broadband?

[12:04] arunkumar413, :-( [12:04] paddy_: at one time there was a X bug that some how disabled the ctrl-g and \a beeping. Not sure if thats been fixed or not [12:04] arunkumar413, I cant imagin my comp withouut broadband.

"for i in `[a-z]` ; do" [12:06] iflema: THX. Do I really have to pass via ardour/jack? I was hoping that there is a simple pulseaudio solution... I will have a look at it.

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [12:31] Dr_Willis: I'll report again when it happens after update/upgrade [12:31] hello ! do someone know how to configure a ndiswrapper interface via iwconfig ? i am trying and it doesnt set the ssid or whatever ! help [12:31] decoder: yea. first thing to do is always a 'sudo apt-get update/upgrade' [12:31] abhi_nav: I have sound in Chrome with youtube etc, but NOT in FF, anyone? [12:31] vu1kan: not that I know of [12:31] Dr_Willis: was using the gui updater :) [12:31] vu1kan: kan you help me? you were excellent last time [12:32] livingdaylight check in your sound preferences under the applications tab [12:32] while playing something with sound in ff [12:32] decoder: i rarely use that. :0 i see too many quirks with it. [12:32] it worked well for me although I usually work in the console as well :) [12:33] vu1kan: applications tab? [12:33] I installed Ubuntu 10.04 lucid , but the mouse does not move: the right button and wheel work. you can do something? [12:33] livingdaylight the furthest right tab in sound preferences, it allows you to mute/adjust the volume for individual apps-but only while the apps are outputting sound [12:34] vu1kan: i see! [12:34] Hi [12:34] hi [12:35] livingdaylight i'm guessing ff got muted there, if that's not the case, idk what you could do [12:35] I need help with 10.04 [12:35] vu1kan: again, you da Man!!! [12:35] !ask [12:35] 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. :-) [12:35] livingdaylight: i've just ran into similar issues myself [12:36] q [12:36] vu1kan: hehe... thank you for passing on your experience [12:36] Hello. My installation of ubuntu seems to get more and more sluggish. Browsing is slow, programs takes longer to start.. What should i do? .. I've uninstalled all unnecessary programs ect. [12:37] Benny000 what's your particular issue? [12:37] I need help with the update [12:37] Hi! Is there a way to boot ubuntu to RAM? (Meaning the op system will be copied to RAM, and run from there). I need this to repartition my hard drive (need to expand the / partition), and I have no live CD and no flash disk to boot from at hand [12:37] WierdAAR: it is slow after a clean boot? not just after running for a long time? [12:37] WierdAAR install flashblock for firefox it will make browsing 100 times faster [12:37] it keeps frezzing after I update [12:37] Do people mostly use Chromium now, or is FF still de facto? [12:38] WierdAAR check system>preferences>startup applications for programs you don't use [12:38] Dr_Willis, After clean boot it's still slow [12:38] semuser: i recall someone mentining a new 'toram' option in the 10.04 live/desktop cd. but ive never tried it. or even seen it documented [12:38] semuser: so it might be possible. [12:38] paddy_, I already have adblock with filters for most flash [12:38] Dr_Willis, as I said, i have no live cd at hand :( [12:38] Hello. [12:39] I hear FF is a ram hog and chrome is kinder to one's resources? true/false? [12:39] WierdAAR, the speed depends on your system enviroment [12:39] Currently Gnome maps Super and Hyper to the same modkey (here's the xmodmap output to prove it: mod4 Hyper_L (0x85), Hyper_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)). [12:39] livingdaylight: chrome is more optmized. but lacking in some ways. so use whatever one you want. [12:39] vu1kan, start up is pretty clean.. [12:39] How can I get Gnome to map Super to mod4 and Hyper to menu? [12:39] Dr_Willis: optimized? [12:39] omani, Well i'm using xubuntu, and the problem is more that it's has gotten really slow since the install [12:40] I could use xmodmap directly but I'm trying to figure out how to do this with the graphical thing. [12:40] Dr_Willis: I used to use FF but since using chromium I never find myself opening FF anymore [12:40] (System > Preferences > Keyboard) [12:40] livingdaylight: yes. there was a lot of work in some parts of the chrome areas to gain speed. I forget the details. i think the javascript engine had big improvements. and proberly other things. [12:40] livingdaylight: i think both are based on webkit [12:40] WierdAAR, slow in which way? system startup? applications? [12:40] I used chrome for a long time.. then went back to FF. [12:40] so both hog equal amount [12:40] DarkSector: FF is most definitely *not* based on Webkit. [12:40] Hey, i have a folder with 751 permissions. I want to change some subfolders' permissions to 700 but when i type sudo chmod +x 700 subfolder, nothing happens. the permissions stay 751. any idea why ? [12:40] * DarkSector checks [12:41] DarkSector: thx [12:41] DarkSector: FF is based on Gecko. [12:41] Dr_Willis: what made you go back? [12:41] <[CENTRAL]> Hi, i reinstalled ubuntu and choosen not to install bootloader. Now ubuntu is not booting. Just a flashing cursor doing nothing [12:41] lvh: oh yeah !! sorry [12:41] vagvaf, chmod 700 subfolders [12:41] vagvaf, without -x [12:41] lvh: yes its based on gecko so is chrome [12:41] livingdaylight: i had issues blocking all the ads i wanted to block in chrome for the most part. and some extensions dident work as well [12:41] DarkSector: No! [12:41] DarkSector: Chrome is based on Webkit. [12:41] lvh: I am wrong again [12:41] yeah [12:41] DarkSector: FF is based on Gecko. [12:41] Dr_Willis: thx [12:41] lvh: yes thats correct [12:41] omani, Startup i at about the same speed but the application is more sluggish. I've begun to experience lagging during browsing and there are a lot of lagging when a couple of programs are open, which has never happend before. [12:41] lvh: my mistake [12:42] DarkSector: Safari is based on Webkit, and so are a few other minor browsers. [12:42] omani: yes sorry that was a typo. it's sudo chmod 700 subfolders [12:42] IE is based on Trident, and Opera has its own rendering engine. [12:42] vagvaf, chmod -R 700 subfolders [12:42] livingdaylight: some sites taht FF+adblock blocked.. never did get blockjed by chrome and adblock. (that may be fixed by now) [12:42] omani: still nothings happens, i tried that too [12:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers [12:43] <[CENTRAL]> Help ubuntu is not booting [12:43] Hi...I am running Lucid and I am try to configure empathy for Gtalk but I am getting Network Connect error any suggestions please... [12:43] Dr_Willis: some sites seem to look better in FF is all i've found to be different so far [12:43] WierdAAR, is dma enabled on ur harddrive? [12:44] Omni, I dont know.. How do i check? [12:44] [CENTRAL]: Do you get any output when it's not booting? [12:44] <[CENTRAL]> no [12:44] livingdaylight: ive not really noticed that. but there was a few sites i always went to that had the most annoying fullpage popup ads that made switch back to FF real fast. [12:45] [CENTRAL]: Can you explain what is happening from when you turn on your computer to when it does not boot up? [12:45] Dr_Willis: agues, adblocking is something chrome needs to add/refine [12:45] <[CENTRAL]> i get nothing. just a horizontal cursor. i just reinstalled ubuntu and i dont know why i chose not to install bootloader [12:45] <[CENTRAL]> may be that the problem? [12:45] [CENTRAL]: Yes. [12:45] livingdaylight: i also seem to get a lot of differance in the hard-printouts of vasrious sites in different browsers. some sites are totally unuseable when printed in some browsers [12:45] <[CENTRAL]> ok how do i fix it [12:46] <[CENTRAL]> without reinstalling the damn system all over again [12:46] You dont know why you did not leave it at the default? :) [12:46] <[CENTRAL]> this is not the discussion here [12:46] [CENTRAL]: You could boot up the LiveCD and try to restore GRUB on the system. [12:46] <[CENTRAL]> how [12:46] [CENTRAL]: it may be quicker to just reinstall.. unless you have some grub/console skills. [12:46] [CENTRAL]: Hold on. === Razia is now known as RainbowEyes [12:47] [CENTRAL]: is ubuntu the only kernel on your system ? [12:47] WierdAAR, man hdparm [12:47] <[CENTRAL]> i have windows but on another hard disk [12:47] [CENTRAL]: so the one you installed ubuntu in is it master or slave ? [12:47] It would be nice if they put some 'repair' options on the live cd's [12:47] [CENTRAL]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [12:47] <[CENTRAL]> salve but i can choose witch one i want at start [12:47] Dr_Willis: good idea, you could suggest that [12:48] DarkSector: i think its been suggested. ive even seen it in other disrtos. [12:48] [CENTRAL]: ok so do an alt+f2 on the screen [12:48] [CENTRAL]: Use that link, it will help you restoring GRUB, which is the bootloader. It will then detect other OS's and everything will be fine. [12:48] DarkSector: but how far do you go. the cd is packed so full as it is. [12:48] Dr_Willis: yeah true [12:48] hello [12:48] hý [12:48] <[CENTRAL]> but i didnt installed windows [12:48] DarkSector: perhaps a ubuntu-repair cd :) [12:48] [CENTRAL]: its the same thing.. you need to reinstall grub.. [12:49] Dr_Willis, haha, wow, a new stuff [12:49] [CENTRAL]: What Dr_Willis said. [12:49] Askkrs welcoe [12:49] welcome [12:49] [CENTRAL]: You have 2 seperate hard drives? or 1 hard drive?

[13:36] gryllida, if you want to check for updates its sudo apt-get update than sudo apt-get upgrade gksduo is for soemthing completely different or you can use gksudo synaptic [13:36] RealBadApple: sweet, i'd just like it as a temporary measure until the bug is fixed from a rc [13:36] !gksudo | gryllida [13:36] gryllida: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [13:36] laeg: what exactly do you want to do? You can do apt-get install -t $suite package, or apt-get install package=version. you get the version from apt-cache policy package. [13:37] no help [13:37] Muelli: i'd like to roll back wine1.2-rc5 to rc4, rc3 or possibly rc2 [13:38] laeg: yes [13:38] chowlala: ty [13:38] is it safe to assume that legacy versions of ubuntu are more stable than those that have been recently released?? [13:38] Pirate_Hunter: I already used sudo once for it (it didn't launch though), should I reboot asap? [13:38] laeg: does the desired version show up in apt-cache policy wine? If so, use that to apt-get install wine=1.2-rc3 or so..

[13:40] gryllida, ok I think I need to stop and understand what you're actually trying to do, you said you wanted to update firefox, I have no clue how you're going to do that with the command gksudo -u... so explain to me again what exactly you want to do, what is it you hope to achieve and tell me what tutorial your using [13:40] Muelli: i'm unfamiliar with the apt-cache policy wine, if you mean does it display when entering apt-cache policy wine into term, then no it does not [13:40] Win: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=executable+bit [13:40] or perhaps used Rspec or Git? [13:41] Pirate_Hunter: I'm trying to run firefox as root after it told me 'not enough permissions' when I hit help -check for updates [13:41] laeg: hm. could you paste the output of apt-cache policy wine? :-) using dpaste.com or so. [13:41] hi abhinav [13:41] laeg: also, how did you install the 1.2-rc5? [13:42] hi abhi_nav [13:42] Muelli, did you not think I googled this before I asked [13:42] gryllida, ?? [13:42] Win: apparently not. Your question does not indicate that at all. [13:42] Muelli: http://pastebin.com/iQhWcutA - through automatic updates, i added the wine repo previously [13:42] !google > Muelli [13:42] Muelli, please see my private message [13:43] Muelli: if relevant i've only just upgraded to 10.04, and there were some 'cleanups' done [13:43] Muelli, I did lol and I can find nothing I did the chmod +x file name right click on file then open with wine I get the error [13:43] obsolete software removed etc [13:44] gryllida, not sure which type of FF your running I have just tried to check that option on my browser and couldn't find it and you havent read the link(s) I sent you, you dont have to download the apps from their but it may give you the latest firefox by replacing your current one [13:44] laeg: hm. Is downgraing to wine-1.1.42-0ubuntu4 good enough for you? If so, do a apt-get install wine=1.1.42-0ubuntu4 If not, try to find a .deb of your desired version :-\ [13:45] Pirate_Hunter: ok, I can add, I'm not using firefox from the repo, I've installed it manually from firefox website [13:45] *downgrading even [13:45] hej [13:45] Pirate_Hunter: and it does have help - check for updates feature, which says 'not enough permissions' [13:46] Pirate_Hunter: I'm tired of trying to solve it today, back in 8 hours, will read on gksu too [13:46] gryllida, please state that when asking for help and if you really want to run FF as root gksudo will do with you belong to the amdin group [13:46] gryllida, ok no problem [13:46] Pirate_Hunter: yes I am in sudoers [13:47] Pirate_Hunter: yes I want to run it as root [13:47] hello i have a Pesky Package which cannot be removed, and I can't install anything else while it exists. The package is bnetd [13:47] Pirate_Hunter: and yes I don't know how [13:47] Pirate_Hunter: "gksu -u user usr/local/firefox/firefox -P "nightly" -no-remote" -what's wrong with this line? [13:47] And I get this error: grep: /etc/bnetd/bnetd.conf: No such file or directory [13:47] Please help 감사해 [13:48] gryllida, I would have expected the extracted tar file to have a README explaining about upgrade options im downloading it now to see what is says [13:48] JNGodbout: what are you trying to do? Can you paste full shell output? [13:48] Muelli: Sure [13:48] Muelli: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198720 - 1.2~rc4-0ubuntu1 is listed there but only rc5 available to download :( [13:48] JNGodbout: using dpaste.com or so [13:48] Pirate_Hunter: 22:18pm here.. hope you will be on in 8 hours, I'll come here then [13:48] laeg: you might have an appropriate .deb in /var/cache/apt/archives. [13:49] Muelli: http://dpaste.com/211970/ [13:49] Muelli: I have tried removing it several ways, until, in my anger, I deleted /etc/bnetd [13:49] Muelli: So the error is slightly different to what it was before [13:49] JNGodbout: looks like a bug to me :-) I'd file it... Will you? Try apt-get install --reinstall bnetd; apt-get purge bnetd. [13:50] Muelli: It does look that indeed. Someone else on the internet had an identical problem with bnetd, and they solved it by getting the latest bnetd .deb and installing that. However, that did not work for me [13:51] JNGodbout: Try apt-get install --reinstall bnetd; apt-get purge bnetd. [13:51] Muelli: Same errors [13:51] hi [13:52] Muelli: Where can I file this to? And is there some crazy, dangerous, risky way that I can kill this package? [13:52] JNGodbout: hm. weird. Then I'd just do mkdir /etc/bnetd; touch /etc/bnetd.conf; apt-get purge bnetd :-) [13:52] Muelli: wine1.2_1.2~rc4-0ubuntu1~karmicppa1_i386.deb found but it was before my updade to lucid so to google.. [13:52] JNGodbout: let's try a sane way first ;-) To file a bug, do "ubuntu-bug bnetd". [13:52] Muelli: The problems were around before I deleted /etc/bnetd though [13:53] laeg: you might be able to dpkg -i /path/to/debfile it. [13:54] !hi [13:54] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [13:54] Muelli: Is it still worth filing a bug now that the error code is different because I got rid of /etc/bnetd? [13:54] JNGodbout: I'd say so. [13:54] Muelli: or just open wine1.2_1.2~rc4-0ubuntu1~karmicppa1_i386.deb from firefox with gdebi? also, should i sudo apt-get remove wine first and backup my .wine dir? [13:55] not karmic, lucid even - i have it found online. [13:55] laeg: eh. yeah. good suggestions. They shouldn't do harm after all. So yeah, go ahead :-) === OerHeks is now known as Oer [13:56] Muelli: okay - and that's the version pinned because it's no longer installed in synaptic? [13:56] I'm about to run this command from ~, is this safe? rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [13:56] sup. I just apt-get install oidentd on my fresh ubuntu server, then insstalled irssi, and i try connect to a server but the username still gives me a ~ in the host. Any idea why or what i need to do to fix it? [13:57] aurilliance: no. Not unless gconfd is running. [13:57] laeg: ah. what? Sorry, I don't follow you. You can see the versions installed and available with apt-cache policy [13:57] Hi [13:58] Hi i have a problem with the network manager [13:58] Muelli: So I guess the next step is to reinstall? [13:59] JNGodbout: have you tried mkdir /etc/bnetd; touch /etc/bnetd.conf; apt-get purge bnetd ? [13:59] Yep [13:59] JNGodbout: and? what's the output? success? [14:00] Ah, that's interesting: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [14:00] reinstall it before attempting a removal. [14:00] Muelli: i just mean synaptic/apt-get won't upgrade my rc4 to rc5 because i've removed rc5? installing with gdebi is separate from apt-get and doesn't qualify the software for autoupdates? [14:00] hehehe [14:00] Hey. Pulseaudio is causing latency for me. Is there a way to temporarily disable it? This is 10.04. [14:00] This package has been fucked over by a horse-donkey [14:00] a thousand times [14:00] rohan, what is your problem nm? [14:00] hi ' [14:00] JNGodbout: watch the language please [14:01] everyone here from the us? [14:01] US*?

[14:07] h4f: firefox extensions come from mozilla and are found in your browser. not in a repository. [14:08] h4f: or.. gbrainy.. that is.. sorry confused you with another.

EG: ~Pirate_Hu@ [14:20] if u have oidentd installed uyou would log in with: Pirate_Hu@ not ~Pirate_Hu@ === xcv is now known as DaZ [14:20] hey i have a problem [14:21] Muelli: i just forced the different version via synaptic, there's a force version under the package menu. strangley it only seems to let be backdate to the versions since upgrading to 10.04 today, which does make sense because the karma versions aren't intended for lucid but it would be nice if it gave the option to download previous versions for lucid also [14:21] Muelli: ty for your help, i have learned some [14:21] :) [14:21] does anyone can tell me what this mean [14:21] strcmp("\200\207\206\205\351", "\207\327\225\327\217\322\207\327\227\212\323\215\200\323\207\320\351") [14:21] i mean the "\200" etc.. [14:21] i know they are chars [14:22] but i can't understand the link between this and the ascii table or anything :( [14:22] isn't that how to call up ascii characters [14:22] ha [14:22] tell me more [14:23] i guessed that \351 stands for "\n" [14:23] coz it ends the 2 strings [14:23] i know all the chars from the 1st arg [14:23] and i would decode the 2nd arg :D [14:23] pimpman, I have never even noticed that on irssi one sec let me check on my server [14:23] ps : made with ltrace [14:24] michmich: http://www.easycalculation.com/ascii-hex.php << this is an online calculatio and converter [14:24] wise_cry1t can i pv you ?

[14:27] and (80)hex isn't a char :S [14:29] pimpman, man no clue, just did a quick search and didnt get much try checking the man pages and reading how to setup identd [14:30] just apt-get install oidentd [14:30] nothgin else === Guest_606 is now known as kickingintender [14:31] http://pastebin.com/fXcQE9vm [14:31] use that for /etc/oidentd.conf [14:31] also oidentd doesnt allow users to change their login ident on irc [14:31] Identd is old skool. :) I rember messing with it years and years ago. [14:31] hello, I have a sound problem... I'm going through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting right now, alsa details are at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=94531794bae838adbd8dc85c6391a1a4b9cd6adb and the error I see is at http://pastebin.com/c876whDn ... can someone please help? [14:32] How do I run a command on all (e.g.) .jpg files in a directory? [14:32] I even recall a perl script that was a identd server was about 6 lines. [14:32] epanortho: what do you mean by 'run' a jpg? [14:32] Can someone suggest a GTD system for Linux which focuses on complex projects (materials lists, places etc.)? [14:32] i think he meant search [14:32] temik: ive seen TiddlyWiki used for a GTD system. but never used it that way. [14:32] epanortho, man mogrify [14:33] epanortho: google for shell scripting, as in bash for loops etc. [14:33] can anyone help with getting the touchpad of my new sony vaio vpcee23fx working? I have never encountered the touchpad not working at all, so, I am lost in a sea of 100 tab session in firefox with nothing learned but that the alps touchpad does not seem to be supported very well! [14:33] Dr_Willis: Thanks, but I'm looking for something that is more desktop-oriented... [14:34] CQ: please don't tell people to "go google" [14:34] epanortho: can you elaborate a bit more on what you need? [14:34] temik: im not even sure what that 'means' :) There was some tools mentioned at the webupd8.org site i recall. but i dident pay much attention to them. Just saw them in their feeds. [14:34] Dr_Willis: I don't; I meant running a command, e.g. tesseract, on every .jpg file in a directory. [14:35] epanortho: 'find' can be used for that and a bit of shell knowledge. [14:35] Dr_Willis: I'm looking for something like "things" for mac. [14:35] what is the command to find job id [14:35] oCean_: I'l phrase it differently next time, as in "you might want to look into bash for loops" ... [14:35] epanortho: read http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html#ss7.1 [14:36] temik: means nothing to me. So cant really advise much more. Other then to suggest check that webupd8 site and perhaps lifehacker web site for what they reccomend. [14:36] epanortho *.jpg [14:36] epanortho: tyesseract *.jpg dont work eh? [14:36] Dr_Willis: Thanks! I'll look it up :) [14:38] Im trying to rember who was trying to play Starcraft earlier today in wine.. Its working fine for me in wine. :) [14:38] I finally found my cd. [14:38] confusedlinux it was Dr_Willis [14:38] People, how do I make a screenshot of gdm login windows without using virtual machine? Is this possible at all? [14:38] IdleOne: ANd such a good nickname it was for him. :) [14:38] iflema: It's a bit more complicated: "tesseract §1.tif §1 -l deu" (§1 is also the name of the "output file" [14:39] epanortho: see here simple example http://paste.ubuntu.com/455918/ [14:39] Dr_Willis: yeah SC works very well in wine. Notice there is an official patch from blizzard that removes the CD requirement (and need for a no-cd crack) [14:39] vaul: it is possible to make applictions run on the gdm desktop. you could run a terminal, then launch some screeshot apps from it. [14:39] I never thought I would say this since my switched to linux about 6 years ago, but, thank GOD I left Windows on this machine! At least it knows how to use the touchpad! I am finally fed up with crap not working! [14:39] vaul: or as root, you might be able to force an app to run on the gdm desktop/screen. [14:40] vaul: or ssh in and DISPLAY=:0.0 import -window root gdm_screenshot.png [14:40] or just ctrl-alt-f1 [14:42] oCean_: Thanks! [14:42] I started up my laptop this morning and couldn't get on the internet. I clicked on the connection and the only thing that's there is "Network Disabled". It's grayed out so I can't even click on it. Can someone help me to fix this? [14:43] AceKing can you right-click on your network monitor? [14:43] To install the ATI drivers on BT4 is the command apt-get install fglrx ? [14:43] epanortho: most welcome :) [14:43] To install the ATI drivers is the command apt-get install fglrx ? [14:43] AdminX: you should ask in #backtrack-lunux [14:44] #backtrack-linux rather [14:44] AceKing, check /var/log/dmesg for errors [14:44] vulkan, Thank you that worked. It must be the pain killers [14:44] please suggest me useful docking aps. Docky is not useful. (I am not crossposting) [14:44] np...most of the issues i can solve are facepalm moments [14:44] pakair, thanks, it was a dumb mistake on my part [14:45] AceKing, np, glad you got it working. [14:45] AdminX: What model gpu do you have? [14:45] pakair, thanks, me too!! [14:46] bastid_raZor: I am on there as well, but since BT4 is ubuntu is based I thought I would ask. [14:46] soreau, AdminX backtrack is not supported here [14:46] airtonix: I dont care, just wanted to tell him if his card is supported at all by the proprietary driver [14:47] soreau: HP DV7 laptop with ATI radeon card [14:47] soreau, i dont care [14:47] airtonix: Obviously you do or you wouldnt have told the bt is unsupported here [14:48] soreau, no really. i don't [14:48] AdminX: The doesnt tell what model gpu you have. Try lspci|grep VGA [14:48] hope someone take could have taken this much effort to address my question. :( rather than takling who cares about what and who not [14:49] abhi_nav: No one cares about your question just the same [14:49] abhi_nav check out rocketdock [14:49] vu1kan, ok [14:49] vu1kan, ... [14:50] abhi_nav, if docky is not useful to you then none of them will be [14:50] soreau HD 4650 [14:50] airtonix, docky dont have option. i cant edit remove aps from it i cant set its position etc [14:50] AdminX: It is supported by the open radeon driver which should be installed and working already [14:50] abhi_nav, by the way. rocketdock is windows only. [14:51] airtonix, :( [14:51] abhi_nav, of course you can move icons around on the dock, and+or move the dock to a part of the screen. [14:51] AdminX: If you want to try fglrx, use jockey to install it (and remove it, after you realize its crap) [14:51] airtonix, i cant [14:51] vu1kan, you fooled me [14:51] soreau, and that any problems will be unsupported because you're not using straight ubuntu. [14:52] airtonix: Im not asking for support genius [14:52] soreau: LOL, thanks I will give jockey a try. [14:52] abhi_nav, you haven't tried hard enough. open the settings config and click on the dock then drag it. [14:52] soreau, ragemoar [14:52] abhi_nav sorry, didn't realize it's win only; i was using on my flashdrive a couple of years ago, and recalled it was rather nice for what i wanted [14:52] airtonix, also main problem is that it doenst goes behind all windows. so my all windows sit on above it (not top of it) [14:52] vu1kan, to be honest its really not that great. it doesn't allow you to program your own plugins in python or mono for one thing. [14:52] vu1kan, ok [14:53] abhi_nav, then you need to check your compiz settings to ensure that the window rules prevent that [14:53] airtonix, ok [14:53] can someone help me get my syanaptics touchpad multitouch to work? =( [14:54] the touchpad is working but the multitouch isn't [14:54] abhi_nav, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/best-ubuntu-docks-vote.html [14:55] airtonix, thanks [14:55] airtonix: nice [14:56] airtonix: was on cairo for a while, but was a little too complicated for my taste heh [14:56] abhi_nav, im not sure if its listed there but you might like talika. [14:57] airtonix, ok. i search it [14:58] I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 on my MacBook. When I run 'speakertest -c6' everything works except for LFE. In alsamixer. Everything appears turned up. What's going on? How do I fix this? I've googled and run into a dead end.

[i'm using xchat right now for irc] [15:23] ae86-drifter: thousands of people would disagree, it can have problems if you are not %100 in line with requirements [15:23] should probably ==> "do a clean install"... thats not what i said ikonia [15:24] vodll not sure i understand what you mean [15:24] i am just sharing my experience to benefit others [15:24] ae86-drifter: that's exactly what you said [15:24] vodll: ask in #freenode ..they have all the answers [15:24] vu1kan how do you connect to irc with pidgin? i created the irc account and then? [15:24] ae86-drifter: no - you are not saying "I've had 2 failures" you're saying you'd be better off doing a clean install as fact, based on you having to experiences [15:24] i said probably [15:24] ahh.. If a RAID partitioning scheme is used during installation the grub boot loader will only be installed on the first hard drive instead of all the drives. Booting the system if the first drive has failed will not work. As a workaround users can manually install grub to each disk in the array using the grub-install command [15:24] ae86-drifter: probably doesn't make it any better [15:24] vodll...oh...same as the procedure for joining a yahoo room [15:24] in your eyes [15:25] so they actually recommend installing it on both drives [15:25] ur a dick [15:25] !language | ae86-drifter [15:25] ae86-drifter: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I am sick of every time a new release comes out it fails for me, and i need to clean install again.

It pretty much explains my problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9517263&postcount=13 [16:04] a hint about that [16:05] jammin79: download the apt deb's from the repo's on the web, then use dpkg to install them [16:06] ClevelandRock: what is the problem? [16:06] If you don't want to read the post, basically, I need the "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3" library, which is apparently unavailable. [16:06] how to install karm in ubuntu 9.10 ? [16:06] !info karm [16:06] Package karm does not exist in lucid [16:06] * Dr_Willis wonders what karm is [16:07] You mean Karmic? [16:07] no [16:07] How do I kill a process? (Iceweasel) [16:07] karm is timer [16:07] stopwatch [16:07] ClevelandRock: what version of ubuntu? [16:08] ClevelandRock: also you are mixing ubuntu repos with debian repos. I am sure you have already been told that is not a good idea [16:08] IdleOne: 10.04 [16:08] IdleOne: Also, it's for a game, which apparently requires that library. [16:08] ClevelandRock: install libstdc++6 [16:08] IdleOne: It's already installed. [16:09] ikonia in back track channel show me error can't send message? [16:09] !identify [16:09] You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password » in the server tab as soon as possible. === hebert is now known as hebertsilva [16:10] Can anyone recomment a good screen capture (video) software for ubuntu? [16:10] i have now stopwatch installed, but i want to test karm [16:10] ClevelandRock: so basically you need an older version of libstdc++6. check packages.ubuntu.com [16:10] peturi: gtk-recordmydesktop [16:10] Dr_Willis: i can ssh into localhost, but still getting timeout when I try remotely [16:10] jb_: recordmydesktop sucks, the ogv files it produces are not standard and youtube for an example won't read it. [16:10] qdb: if it's not in the repositories, you have to download and build it yourself [16:11] ok [16:11] then i ll use stopwatch [16:11] jmburgess: recordmydesktop sucks, the ogv files it produces are not standard and youtube for an example won't read it. [16:11] IdleOne: How do I know what packages contain libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3? [16:12] if it is not in repository does that mean that i cannot use package that was in older ubuntu? [16:12] peturi, jmburgess i find that ffmpeg does a better job [16:12] peturi: Then try istanbul, I have heard good things about that. Also I always just covnert the ogv into an avi anyways [16:12] ClevelandRock, using apt-file search [16:12] does it mean that it works buggy? [16:12] jmburgess: That's a very ugly workaround [16:12] ikonia : can you tell me please where i get PWF and WiFu hacked can download it free please if you can [16:12] ClevelandRock: let me do a little hunting [16:13] airtonix: That was one of the first things I tried. No results. [16:13] Iraqi: what part of "we do not support backtrack linux in this channel" did I not make clear [16:13] IdleOne: Thanks. [16:13] Iraqi: do NOT ask for support using it again. [16:13] ClevelandRock, i assume you have it installed though ? [16:13] ClevelandRock: if you don't have apt-file installed, you could alternatively search packages.ubuntu.com [16:13] ikonia : so sorry [16:13] airtonix: I do have it installed. [16:13] * airtonix thinks Iraqi is a troll. [16:13] oCean_: I do have it installed.

[16:36] ClevelandRock: you are looking to break your system by doing that [16:36] Over^Kill: you could just mount it by hand. or look in /media/cdrom to see if its there [16:36] Dr_Willis: How else can I get "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3"? [16:36] ClevelandRock: i never heard why you needed it. [16:37] Dr_Willis: It's a required library for the Linux version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. [16:37] Dr_Willis Just finished installing Ubuntu the CD-ROM isnt mounted by default? [16:37] ClevelandRock: i would suggest you check the various ubuntu game forums. there might be a work around.

(if it mounts) [16:39] where do you find tutorials for ubuntu terminal commands [16:40] michaelxq: terminal commands arenot normally 'ubuntu' specific. check out sites for shell/bash/command line tutorials [16:40] !bash | michaelxq [16:40] michaelxq: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[16:40] said cant find media/cdrom in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [16:40] Over^Kill: you did use sudo mount /media/cdrom ? with the /media ? not 'media/cdrom' ?

Is that normal? [17:15] Hasanibrahim: What is your soundcard? [17:15] stuck at 50% [17:15] soadkombucha: i want to read out the "TPE2" field (ID3-tag) from a mp3 file [17:15] How do I make an imported key to my personal key?

Partition is a bit level function so it is kinda slow [17:16] Over^Kill: on a terminal [17:16] thanks erUSUL and idbian [17:16] i just lost it, it was working for about two hours ago [17:16] rlvs: mp3info2 -C autoinfo=ID3v2,ID3v1 *.mp3 [17:16] rv1s: mp3info2 -C autoinfo=ID3v2,ID3v1 *.mp3 [17:17] Topic: Tim's late submission [17:17] rv1s: But you're probably only going to want to do mp3info2 -C autoinfo=ID3v2 *.mp3 [17:17] lspci says - ISA bridge: Intel corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 01) [17:18] soadkombucha: mh this command only returns the standard fields like artist, title and album [17:18] If the partition never ends does it mean I have a bum disk. I'm just concerned because it only took like 5 minutes to partition my nearly full drive last time and this drive is brand new. [17:18] Over^Kill: and isa bridge != a nic card ... « lspci | grep -i net » [17:19] pwnsey, Sometimes it takes 2 hours [17:19] pwnsey, resizing may take a long time [17:19] ok [17:19] Thanks, I'll wait it out.

[17:21] Hasanibrahim: I have realtek drivers [17:21] Hasanibrahim: I'll give you the download link, and a pastebin link [17:21] soadkombucha: i want to create a shell script that reorganises my mp3 files and i want them to be moved into folders which are given the name of the album artist (stored in the TPE2 field) [17:21] my java fonts are really tiny, how can i change the size? [17:21] okey soadkombucha [17:22] :( sorry I am confused [17:22] Hasanibrahim: You're going to extract the folder from the downloaded file to /home/yourusername [17:22] Hasanibrahim: Then you can either run all the commands on the pastebin link in terminal, or you can make a shell script from it [17:22] Over^Kill: is this a laptop you're on ? [17:22] no [17:22] soadkombucha: okey [17:22] Precision 690 [17:22] soadkambucha: the id3v2 tpe2 field stores information about band/orchestra etc. but often is used to store the album artist [17:23] Over^Kill: me too. i thougfht you wanted to get the exact model of your NIC card ... this command (with no quotes) " lspci | grep -i net " will get you the name [17:23] Over^Kill: don't want to become offtopic here, but that's a very ancient chipset I think [17:23] Over^Kill: it looks like the driver should already be installed. check this: sudo updatedb && locate tg3.ko [17:23] Hasanibrahim: ftp://WebUser:Ds8MtJ3@209.222.7.36/pc/audio/LinuxPkg_5.15rc5.tar.bz2 [17:23] Hi [17:23] I need a good FireFox integrated password manager, what do you recommend? [17:23] How do I remove older options in the boot up? Instead of 4 of 5 kernels plus Xp plus mem test I' [17:23] I'd like just XP and ubuntu [17:23] how do i do this? [17:23] sebsebseb: :) [17:23] OpenSourcedNick1, the one that's built in? [17:24] DasEi: hi [17:24] Hasanibrahim: So you'll have "/home/yourusername/realtek-linux-audiopack-5.15 after you download the file [17:24] clayg: either edit the file for the boot loader, or remove the kernels === wilbat|GER-GOAL is now known as wildbat|GER_4-1 [17:24] edbian: yeah but I need password completion for pidgin and what-not, and I need it to be encrypted [17:24] wait please [17:24] as in, an all around password manager [17:24] OpenSourcedNick1, Oh! I'm not sure. Good luck finding one! :) [17:24] sebsebseb, im using lucid, how do i edit the file for the bootloader? [17:24] clayg: edit /etc/default/grub , then run update-grub, both as root [17:25] OpenSourcedNick1, I know they have them in the repos. I'm not sure if there is a firefox extension [17:25] DasEi, thank you [17:25] clayg: not so easilly since its Grub 2 [17:25] clayg: well compared to the old Grub [17:25] /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko [17:25] edbian: it seems like something that ubuntu's really missing [17:25] !grub2 | clayg [17:25] clayg: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:25] clayg: remove the old kernels you do not want/use in synaptic [17:25] I put that in and it returned nothing [17:25] clayg: so yeah just remove the old kernels you don't want in Synaptic [17:25] This computer is a few years old but not that old [17:26] i hate grub2 [17:26] OpenSourcedNick1, It seems like something firefox is missing. Ubuntu has password managers [17:26] pisses off they used it [17:26] clayg: I dislike it [17:26] Hasanibrahim: And then it's a a matter of going into terminal and using these commands: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/455988/ [17:26] Over^Kill: weird... anyway ChogyDan seems to be on the right track with your issue [17:26] edbian: which? [17:26] ya, thanks [17:26] I've just installed Netbook 10.4 on my Samsung N220, but I can't get wireless working. lspci says it's a RealTek 8192 (rev 01). I can't find the exact driver on the RealTek site (I tried compiling and installing one, but that didn't work, so I assume it's the wrong chipset). How can I find the right drivers? [17:26] so just go into synaptic and remove kernels, ok ill give that a shot [17:26] edbian: it's a matter of a password manager that needs to connect to firefox and other programs (auto inserting the password and such), [17:26] clayg: well the old version of Grub is no longer supported upstream thats why, however I know of at least one distro that is still using it [17:26] babbageclunk: It's not I used the 8192SE drivers yesterday. [17:26] clayg: keep language nice, you can also install grub (1) back [17:27] clayg: could actsually install the old version into Ubuntu, but its not as simple as just installing and using [17:27] babbageclunk: hold on [17:27] DasEi, really? will installing grub 1 remove grub 2? I guess what i want to know is how hard is it? [17:27] same with the bootloader/ plymouth or whatever - I "dislike" that change also [17:28] babbageclunk: I'm going to put a list of commands on paste.ubuntu.com, try using those to install the wireless drivers. The one command assumes the tar.gz file for the drivers is in ~/ [17:28] clayg: also even though Grub 2 is uh, its a bit silly to downgrade to the older one in Ubuntu, I guess [17:28] not bootloader but graphics at the login screen, me not good with words [17:28] clayg: not too hard in my eyes, but always fine to backup mbr before those "experiments [17:28] changing bootloader only to remove some old kernels from the list seems a bit overkill; doesn't it ??? [17:28] soadkombucha: Ok, thanks. [17:28] OpenSourcedNick1, I don't know if you'll be able to find one that will auto enter every password you might ever need to fill in. Most people use the password saver function in each app. For example for web apps most people use the built in firefox one (which I think will write them for you). Evolution and pidgin both store passwords as well. [17:28] like killing flys with a cannon [17:28] Over^Kill: maybe you need to install linux-firmware-nonfree Im really not sure, but it is worth a shot [17:28] why not just uninstall the old kernels [17:29] babbageclunk: Not a problem. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/455989/ [17:29] OpenSourcedNick1, Then there are packages like password gorilla and fpm [17:29] clayg: editing grub is fastest way to get menu free [17:29] clayg: yes Plymouth really does suck in Ubuntu, unlike in Mandriva where iti s awesome, and in Fedora where it is alright. Not much can be done with Plymouth though when it comes to Ubuntu, can sort of disable it and have a text mood instead though. [17:29] how [17:29] edbian: are you aware of the fact that pidgin stores passwords in plain text? [17:29] OpenSourcedNick1, Those just sort of store them all in an encrypted database [17:29] Over^Kill: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [17:29] its a fairly common card I think [17:29] ... [17:29] at any rate I found keepassx, seems good, I'll check it out [17:29] OpenSourcedNick1, I was not aware that pidgin does that. Now am I very concerned. If you could log into my system as me then I would be concerned [17:29] babbageclunk: I wrote a shell script for that, so I don't have to redo it on every kernel, but I found those commands in a tutorial after googling a bit [17:29] sebsebseb, i like whatever was used before where you could use gnome-art to just change the splash screen, the screen wehre you put your user name and password, i think even grub had some graphics options? i dunno, just remember it being easier [17:30] OpenSourcedNick1, and quite frankly it isn't a major security risk that somebody could chat online as me. [17:30] babbageclunk: I did what you did, and just tried compiling it. [17:30] edbian: depends, if you have google chat, he could know your email password [17:30] now i read up on it and the only guide i find is somehting to change thebackground walllpaper in the beginning? [17:30] clayg: there are themes for grub2, also [17:30] Couldnt find package [17:30] OpenSourcedNick1, Good point [17:30] what happens if you use an older ubuntu version and dont upgrade the kernel ever [17:30] clayg: as for GDM 2 the log in, I really dislike it in Ubuntu, in Fedora and such its ok, maybe just since a better background by default though. The old GDM can be installed, but its not as simple as just installing and using. [17:30] edbian: I'm an advanced paranoid :D [17:30] There's a new package in Ubuntu, which allows idle servers to power off themselves (and wake on LAN later). What's the name of it? I thought it was "powersleep" but apparently not... [17:30] clayg: right [17:30] you can still use all applications for it as they update right? [17:31] Hasanibrahim: Any luck? [17:31] yeah need to find a distro i liked a little better or at least was able to use easier [17:31] OpenSourcedNick1, Then don't save your passwords at all. The safest password is one that is stored in only 1 place that nobody else can ever read. Your mind. [17:31] Anyone? (sorry I didnt' make it clear that it was a question for everybody :-) [17:31] There's a new package in Ubuntu, which allows idle servers to power off themselves (and wake on LAN later). What's the name of it? I thought it was "powersleep" but apparently not... [17:31] clayg: (well last Fedora I tried was Fedora 11, and GDM 2 looked ok there) [17:31] edbian: holy crap my mind is the worst hard drive EVER [17:31] sebsebseb, still want to still do a debian fork [17:31] hi [17:31] hello folks [17:31] i've a question [17:31] OpenSourcedNick1, But it is the most secure [17:31] unreliable [17:31] soadkombucha: great, thanks - I'll try that now [17:31] i guess version is what i meant not dist [17:32] clayg: yes the old GDM is :) can be themed nicely and all that. However a bit silly to install into Ubuntu yourself I guess, may as well just use a better alternative.

[20:03] Espen-_-: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:04] <__Adam__> Hello I have an odd problem 9.10 is seems to be sending all traffic to the default router [20:04] <__Adam__> including local, nothing on the local network can see it, and it cant see the local network [20:04] <__Adam__> but anything via the gateway works [20:04] hi would someone know why i might get stuck at a black screen even after i upgrade to ubunut9.1? [20:04] vulkan: thanks, I'm looking too [20:04] <_2> more specificly anyone know about boot issues with the install cd's ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso ? [20:04] icedtea, to move them to the right, just change the theme...to bring them back to the left: Alt+F2, gconf-editor, apps>metacity>general, find button_layout and change value to minimize,maximize,close:menu [20:05] <_2> uday probably same reason i can't boot the install cd's of 10.4 but i don't know what's causing it. [20:05] SlidingHorn: thanks, thats what I was looking for :) I'll buy a you a pop from a vending machine [20:06] __Adam__: pastebin netstat -rn please [20:06] _2: are you sure that the iso images that you used were ok? [20:06] <_2> guntbert yep [20:06] plop all [20:06] gormux: ? [20:07] <_2> guntbert passed md5 ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso [20:07] hi...i have a problem with my Ubuntu 10.04....sometimes it duplicates the icons on the panel....anybody knows how to fix it..??? [20:07] <_2> guntbert burned without issue too. [20:07] SlidingHorn: is that a bug in the new ubuntu, or a feature? ;) [20:07] <__Adam__> hang on ikonia [20:07] _2: is your computer able to boot from any CD? [20:08] !controls | icedtea [20:08] icedtea: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [20:08] <_2> guntbert yep even earlier ubuntu install cd's [20:08] how to share wan connection i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing did't help they ping each other but in client if ping 'google.com bad address' why??? [20:08] icedtea, it's a new feature...in meerkat, they'll be putting some extra features on the right side...dont know yet [20:08] _2: then I don't know - sorry [20:08] <_2> guntbert it's hanging hard lockup before the boot menu on the install disk [20:08] <_2> guntbert heh. me too. [20:09] <__Adam__> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/G2s6AQ2w [20:09] Hi all i upgraded to ubuntu 9.1 but get a black screen any thoughts? [20:09] __Adam__: yup, that routing table will send everything down the default router [20:10] <_2> ramuday uhh yeah i think it's 9.10 not 9.1 year.month versioning system [20:10] <__Adam__> ikonia, nice... how do i get local to work again :) === Guest42819 is now known as Rober_ [20:11] why is there a /etc/rsyslog.conf and no /etc/syslog.conf? [20:11] __Adam__: add a route for the http://pastebin.com/G2s6AQ2w [20:11] oops [20:11] yes it was 9.10 but i now cant login i get roo@ something [20:11] __Adam__: add a route for the 192.168.55.0 to your local ip address eg: 192.168.55.25 [20:11] <__Adam__> ikonia, add one for every host on the internal network!? [20:12] no [20:12] __Adam__: add a route for the 192.168.55.0 network (key is network) with the destination your card ip address [20:12] so that anything on 192.168.55.0 goes out of our card, anything else goes out of 0.0.0.0 which is set to your router === victor_ is now known as Yocttar [20:13] <__Adam__> so route 192.168.55.0 to 192.186.55.67 (nic ip) [20:13] i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 :( [20:13] <_2> 192.168.55.* 192.168.55.0 192.168.55.0/32 [20:14] <__Adam__> what is the command to add this route? [20:14] <_2> ramuday at the root@something prompt type in apt-get install dist-upgrade or apt-get install -f and see if it helps sounds like an error in the upgrade process to me [20:15] __Adam__: route add [20:15] <__Adam__> ty [20:15] <_2> __Adam__ sudo route add 'blah' [20:15] <_2> sorry ikonia didn't mean to butt in [20:15] @ 2 Yes i think the MBR could not get updated [20:15] when i do the release version it shows 9.1 [20:15] <__Adam__> ty i will try [20:17] Is this the correct channel to ask questions about ubuntu 10 and color depth to 32bit(24) [20:17] __Adam__: Assuming your local network uses a 255.255.255.0 netmask, the command would be route add -net 192.168.55.0/24 gw 192.168.55.67 [20:17] <__Adam__> disnt work [20:17] <__Adam__> unknown host [20:17] <__Adam__> oh [20:17] <__Adam__> ty [20:18] <__Adam__> that has added the route [20:18] !ask | gbluntzer [20:18] gbluntzer: 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. :-) [20:18] <_2> __Adam__ just a note, while trying to work out a routing issue, 'route add *' and 'route del *' are your friends. (inturpret * please) [20:18] oCean_, gw in the above line stands for gateway yes? [20:18] <__Adam__> the host still cant be pingged internaly [20:18] Ego_Proctor: indeed [20:19] <__Adam__> or http [20:19] <__Adam__> or https [20:19] __Adam__: what do you mean 'internally" ? [20:19] <__Adam__> but can be from the outside world [20:19] <__Adam__> from the same subnet = no access [20:19] How do I increase the color depth of my desktop to 32bit(24) Ubuntu : Nvidia drivers [20:19] <__Adam__> but you can see it from the internet www.witwicki.co.uk [20:19] oCean, I should probably get used to using IP tables, interface commands, and such, take my CCNA/NP knowledge and put it to use getting linux to act as a router... [20:20] __Adam__: wait [20:20] <__Adam__> i upgraded fron 9.04 to 9.10 [20:20] __Adam__: one step at a time. Can you PING the ip-address from other machines on the same network? [20:20] <__Adam__> no [20:21] when i do cat /etc/issue i get the value as ubuntu 9.10 \n\l [20:21] which program do you most use to read pdf's on ubuntu? [20:21] but i guess that volume is not mounted ? [20:21] __Adam__: no ping reply? or other error [20:21] <__Adam__> Destination Host Unreachable [20:22] __Adam__: can you ping from the upgraded machine other hosts on the same subnet? [20:22] <__Adam__> nope [20:22] <__Adam__> but the upgraded machine can ping google [20:22] ask a question or !qotd for quote of the day. [20:22] __Adam__: post netstat -rn again now that you have added the route [20:22] !qotd [20:22] Guest7382: there is no function of !quote of the day [20:23] Quote of the Day Free support is like free software. it never works [20:23] Guest7382: it's not in our bot, so don't tell people to do it [20:23] Guest7382: ok, there probably isn't a specific rule about *pretending* to be a bot... but it's still kind of unwelcome [20:23] apt-get install -f returns and error W:Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/lib/dpkg/lock [20:24] Guest7382: have you tried #ubuntu-offtopic? that's where we are silly and have fun [20:24] <__Adam__> http://pastebin.com/2A0MBfjR [20:24] gbluntzer: do you mean how do you update to the proprietary nvidia drivers? or just how to change the color depth? [20:24] __Adam__: you have 2 conflicting routes, remove the 55.0 0.0.0.0 route [20:25] <_2> ok. i found that hitting ^C before and durring the splash screen that loads prior to the boot options menu. allows my laptop to actually boot to the boot menu. but i hung when i tried to boot. even with all the acpioff stuff [20:25] hi [20:25] <_2> so there is something really screwy with the 10.4 install cd's [20:25] <__Adam__> command please? [20:26] _2 you using 10.04? [20:26] route delete [20:26] <_2> Ego_Proctor that's what i said [20:26] got 2 identical monitors and an nvidia gf9500 card with two heads. I want the same picture on both monitors. possible? if: how? (clsd src driver) [20:26] <__Adam__> route delete what [20:26] __Adam__: route del -net 192.168.55.0/23 gw 0.0.0.0 [20:26] <_2> errr ^ /24 [20:26] DexterF you want the monitors to mirror each other? [20:27] <__Adam__> ty [20:27] __Adam__: if you look at both commands, you may grasp the syntax of the command :) [20:27] _2 when i did that apt-get install -f i got the follwing error ---- w not using locking for read only lock file var lib dpkg lock [20:27] Ego_Proctor: well, not literally ;) but yes [20:27] <__Adam__> yes i hav used it in windows [20:27] DexterF sudo nvidia-settings and choose your options there. [20:27] Ego_Proctor: that's.. too easy :) [20:27] __Adam__: sorry, it is not /23 but /24 in your case [20:27] <__Adam__> done :) [20:27] <_2> ramuday ok your root file system is mounted readonly. probably a file system checking error. [20:27] DexterF then have fun setting up the xorg.conf manually [20:27] If i have installed ubunto 10.04 RC how i can upgrade to retail via console?

[20:28] hello [20:28] I have a problem w a laptop. The laptop has been trying to wake itself from sleep to connect wifi. Shouldn't be doing that. Searching the forums, I have mostly found problems where "wireless won't connect after sleep," but nothing like "wireless wakes laptop from sleep." [20:28] Kurogane, synaptic [20:28] Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. [20:28] Hi EveryBody [20:28] I have ubuntu linux and windows 7 installed on my computer how do i get rid of windows 7? [20:28] Hi sebsebseb [20:28] _2 thanks not sure what i must do let me try a google [20:28] Linux, y [20:28] DexterF: what he said but there should be an icon for nvidia settings in System->Administration->NVidia X Server Settings [20:28] Guest7382: how? [20:28] DexterF good luck finding anyone that will be able or willing to help with that... [20:29] <__Adam__> last time i update linux! [20:29] Kurogane, do you have update manager [20:29] because windows is gay! [20:29] Linux: stop that now [20:29] stop what [20:29] lol [20:29] __Adam__ have you checked the IP address of the target machine? Is the interface up? [20:29] Linux: check your pm's [20:29] hi sebsebseb [20:29] Linux: pop in a live cd use gparted to format the windows partition [20:29] Guest7382: but i don't install X [20:29] don't want* [20:30] <__Adam__> yes it can access the internet, juts nothing internal [20:30] Linux pejoratives are not cool [20:30] i just installed UNR on my Acer AspireOne D260, however my battery will not charge [20:30] anyone have any ideas? [20:30] brown12, turn off wireless [20:30] __Adam__: You could try a "/sbin/ip route flush cache", but don't expect to much. If you want to debug further, install "tcpdump" then we can see how traffic is travelling [20:30] <_2> ramuday you might start with fsck `mount | grep ' / ' | grep dev | cut -d' ' -f1` [20:30] <__Adam__> ok [20:30] __Adam__, I take it that it worked before you upgraded? [20:30] <_2> i have to run. [20:31] <__Adam__> yes it all worked [20:31] I don't believe that Windows prefers the company of other same-sex OS -- therefor it is not "gay" -- if you are displeased with Windows, feel free to say so -- elsewhere. [20:31] Guest7382, that would certainly work. Are there any settings related to wireless that I could have configured wrong? [20:31] <__Adam__> i could access http and https internally [20:31] I'd prefer not to have to disable/enable on every standby/resume. [20:31] <__Adam__> still unreachable [20:31] <__Adam__> you can access it by browsing www.witwicki.co.uk [20:31] <__Adam__> this is madness! [20:32] __Adam__: Please don't flood, ease up on the enter key. Try "sudo apt-get install tcpdump" [20:32] I take it no one has any ideas on how to get UNR to charge my battery. [20:33] it almost sounds like __Adam__'s issue is with the upgraded machine and not the others. Like it doesn't know how route to the LAN, but if they are all on a switched network that shouldn't matter. [20:33] <__Adam__> cant do that oCean_ not yet anyway [20:33] <__Adam__> started update from 9.10 to 10.04 [20:33] <__Adam__> based on previous advice here [20:34] grub2 freezes my computer; i am forced to downgrade to grub1; anyone know why? [20:34] __Adam__: wait, tcpdump might be default. Do you have /usr/sbin/tcpdump ? [20:34] helpbuntu is offline [20:34] Guest7382--thanks again, I'll try to find a forum to post the problem to. [20:34] <__Adam__> yes i go oCean_ :) [20:34] <__Adam__> um do [20:35] brown12, np [20:35] I just installed 10.04 Netbook Remix onto my BrandNew AcerAspire One d260 and for some reason my battery wont charge, i tried running the hardware drivers but none were found. [20:35] __Adam__: ok. Do "sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 icmp" [20:35] whats the ubuntu channel for offtopic chat? [20:35] icedtea: #ubuntu-offtopic [20:35] icedtea #ubuntu-offtopicd [20:35] doh! [20:35] -d [20:35] <__Adam__> its listening oCean_ [20:36] (we all have facepalm moments) [20:36] __Adam__: great, now ping it, from one of the machines on the local subnet, see if a requests is coming in [20:36] anyone know whats wrong when i cant run spotify under wine? [20:36] I've got a usb drive with folders that, for some reason, won't respond to sudo chown (everything is currently owned by root). And idea how to fix that or figure out why? [20:37] <__Adam__> not from laptop > host [20:37] <__Adam__> they are going out [20:37] <__Adam__> not inbound, but it is loging an outbound [20:37] __Adam__, outbound ICMP? [20:37] hi. any way to get just a regular volume icon without "indicator-applet"? [20:38] __Adam__: your incoming request is probably on eth0 ?? [20:38] __Adam__: is your eth0 configured to be in local subnet? [20:38] <__Adam__> no its a wifi connection [20:38] __Adam__: you say there is no incoming traffic on wlan0, but you see outbound (ICMP reply) traffic? [20:38] <__Adam__> yes oCean_ [20:38] __Adam__: then my guess is, there is inbound traffic on eth0 [20:39] helpbuntu is online [20:39] __Adam__: so, break off the tcpdump on wlan0 and start tcpdump -i eth0 icmp [20:39] how do I edit the Grub2? [20:39] I need to get it to start Windows XP by default [20:39] <__Adam__> nothing on eth0 (it is not connected) [20:39] ask a question or say qotd for quote of the day. [20:39] <__Adam__> tcpdump is showing nothing [20:39] !ot | Guest7382 [20:39] Guest7382: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:40] __Adam__: well, your outound icmp you see on wlan0 should originate from somewhere, right? [20:40] *outbound [20:40] hi. Does anybody use PlayonLinux? [20:40] yea [20:40] vulkan, any way without using the miscolored indicator thing that snatches up my notification icons? [20:41] <__Adam__> oCean_, i send a ping from cacti from the affected host, its i see the request then i see the reply [20:41] JULinuxUser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:41] daer: do you use it? [20:41] __Adam__: what? [20:41] Does anybody use PlayonLinux? [20:42] <__Adam__> oCean_, I do not see the ping origanting from my laptop > affected host [20:42] Hi all! My Lucid netbook has been consistently hard-locking at random intervals. Even if I set Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to terminate X, nothing happens. It seems the keyboard and mouse are completely disabled. If sound is playing when it locks, it falls into a 2-second loop. I have to press and hold the power button to get out. kern.log shows nothing interesting. How can I troubleshoot this? [20:42] kroson you might also try #linux [20:42] Ego_Proctor: tks XD [20:42] <__Adam__> local subnet isnt working, but the affected host is fine accessing anything after the router (gw [20:43] JULinuxUser: You use GRUB_DEFAULT="Exact name of entry" to set an order-independent default e.g. GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" [20:43] oCean_, that sounds like an ACL to me... Unless it is an issue with the WiFi connection, like he is using a different access point than the lap top and the network core is not relaying the messages.... [20:43] Aw, bummer... [20:44] <__Adam__> its the same AP [20:44] <__Adam__> i only have one === david is now known as Guest84135 [20:44] <__Adam__> it worked before i upgraded [20:45] __Adam__: let me recap: if you start tcpdump on wlan0 on the server, and then ping this server, you DON't see "ICMP echo request" but you DO see an "ICMP echo reply" [20:46] I'm trying to install from the alternate (no GUI) installer from a thumb drive on a netbook but the installer coerces me to select/load a CD-Rom module! How can I tell it to use the thumbdrive?! [20:46] <__Adam__> sort of [20:46] __Adam__, can you pastebin the tcpdump? [20:46] __Adam__: haha, sort of is not possible with ICMP. There's request and reply [20:46] <__Adam__> start tcpdump on wlan0 on the server, and then ping this server, you DON't see "ICMP echo request" but you DO see an "ICMP echo reply" [20:47] <__Adam__> correct [20:47] What is best version of Java to install for Frostwire to work? [20:47] <__Adam__> and when the server pings a remote host say google i do see a reply [20:47] Have partner repo checked. [20:47] Hi again. Problem. I reinstalled ubuntu doing a clean install on a hard drive. But the guru shows 2 difrent 10.04 installed. The first is not connecting to the network and the second has faulty display(one that im running now) === andrew_ is now known as Guest76787 [20:48] ManDay, afaik alternate installer does not behave well with usb boots [20:48] <__Adam__> that still didnt make sense, laptop pings host, host tcpdump dosnt see the request [20:48] __Adam__: as Ego_Proctor asked, can you show us the tcpdump output? (pastebin?) [20:48] __Adam__: wait [20:48] <__Adam__> host pings google, tcpdump can see request and reply [20:48] :p [20:48] __Adam__: nvm, just show us the tcpdump when pinged from local net [20:49] Hi I just installed 10.04, and my pc doesnt boot on the hd. I created a /boot partition at the beginning (sda1), and it is flagged as bootable if I check with fdisk or gparted. Grub infos seem ok. And I tried the disk as 1st and 2nd startup device in Bios. Has anyone a suggestion on what to check ? [20:49] <__Adam__> the output is blank oCean_ ..... [20:49] om26er, thanks for the reply [20:49] __Adam__: no, you said that you saw "ICMP echo reply" [20:49] I tried to point it to /dev/sdb as my "Cddrive" which is the stick but it still failed [20:50] <__Adam__> when the host pinged a remote host on the internet it saw a reply [20:50] __Adam__ instead of doing a tcpdump | pastebin, copy and paste the output manually and drop it in the pastebin website... [20:50] mxe5, frostwire is clunky at best with even the latest java versions [20:50] codebrainz: all i could find is asmix, there might be one but i'm tired of looking through synaptic [20:51] ubuntu: Could you pastebin the output from this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ ? [20:51] th cd boots ok, the hd shows at startup, but then seems to be ignored as startup device.. [20:51] <__Adam__> http://pastebin.com/XNnhJ0xh [20:51] ok [20:51] hi, I'm not getting any audio using VLC, but other players work fine...what's the problem? [20:51] vu1kan, ok thanks for looking, I think I'll just code one in python [20:52] how can I set a different color on my input to the terminal, so that I easier can separate commands from output when reading in the terminal? [20:52] talking about colorizing what I type, not \u \h \w [20:52] __Adam__: ok, so: there is NO sign of incoming request whatsoever when you ping the server from other machine on local net [20:52] ManDay: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Known%20Issues [20:52] <__Adam__> correct [20:52] __Adam__: in that case, it's not the server [20:52] ManDay: "If you get "Incorrect CD-ROM detected" error on detection stage, reboot, press F6 and then ESC to go to manual boot line editing, and add the option 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true'. On Ubuntu 9.10 server edition the install menu will be shown right after reboot. Chose "Help" and then press F6. At the boot prompt type "install cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" and hit enter. " [20:52] __Adam__: the ICMP traffic is dropped somewhere along the route [20:53] Could someone help me diagnose a network problem? I tried installing vpnc and it hosed my ethernet connection. The eth0 interface is connected to my router (I can access the router setup page via the IP number), but my machine can't look up any URL names and translate them to the IP address.

[20:54] i reinstalled windows and my linux boot menu is gone [20:54] pgeyleg what is your problem [20:55] __Adam__: you have no incoming request on your interface. So, the traffic does not even reach one of your interfaces [20:55] __Adam__, and all other hosts can ping each other? [20:55] IceChat_7_, not a bug...takes a long time to pull large lists...either way though, that's probably more a topic for #xchat [20:55] <__Adam__> YES [20:55] vu1kan, me either, it seems to missing altogether from the repos. also none of my pidgin/transmission/xchat icons show in the notification area applet. bummer [20:55] <__Adam__> i can ping the other desktop from my laptop [20:55] Black_Prince: i booted from live cd ubuntu 10.4 [20:55] BluesKaj: I want to make an terminal indepentend setting. eg editing the .bashrc file, but I can only find how to colorize \u@\h:\w\$ input is not colorized, and if I set some ansii color code at the end of that line it will stick for the output too [20:55] good ols netgear..

I wished I had known that 1 hour ago... ;) [21:12] Jordan_U, Yeah, but the NVIDIA driver on the repositories does not support multiple monitors [21:12] Alan502: No, it isn't in repositories, google it and find that [21:12] Alan502: If you're having problems with multiple monitors specifically I doubt that the problem is that your nvidea driver is out of date. [21:12] Alan502: Yes, it does. [21:13] Jordan_U, the one on the repositories is 197 and the lastest NVIDIA has released is 256 :\ [21:13] duffydack: is there any big differences bettween vlc 1.1. and 1.0? [21:13] Jordan_U, hmmm weird, but i could install the nvidia driver in 9.10 without any problems, and i could configure multiple monitors correctly. I can't with 10.4 though [21:14] Uboy: envy started out as an app outside the repos, then it became envy-ng and was officially supported and in the repos, now (with 10.04 onward) envy is not supported at all. [21:14] Does Ubuntu support Synthetic Device Drivers? Specifically for Hyper V? [21:14] Uboy, ok thanks :) i'm afraid envyng could mess since, according to Jordan_U is not recommended [21:14] *mess my system [21:14] vu1kan, i figured it out. remove package indicator-applet, add gnome-volume-control-applet to startup programs [21:14] om26er, thanks for the reply [21:14] I'm trying to install from the alternate (no GUI) installer from a thumb drive on a netbook but the installer coerces me to select/load a CD-Rom module! How can I tell it to use the thumbdrive?! [21:14] Alan502: What happens when you try to configure multiple monitors. [21:15] Jordan_U: ok dude, u write [21:15] alan502: ok, I'm too [21:15] Jordan_U: so how can I update my version to 256? [21:15] codebrainz: nifty...but that would remove my handy tray access for rhythmbox [21:15] Jordan_U, i can run nvidia-settings and configure my second monitor to run as a separate x screen [21:16] vu1kan, i dunno, but all my icons now show up properly in the notification area [21:16] ManDay_: Easiest thing to do is to use the netboot installer. Everything the installer needs is contained in the kernel + initrd so it doesn't need to look for any device at all (gets everything else from the net) [21:16] selam [21:16] Jordan_U, but the problem is that when i save x and reboot, the screen is there but its all black, and when i move my mouse to it it appears as an X-shaped cursor [21:16] fuchyst what's your nation language? [21:16] Jordan_U, netboot? [21:16] do you mean the minimal insaller? [21:16] Does Ubuntu support Synthetic Device Drivers? Specifically for Hyper V?

[21:18] evet [21:18] :) [21:18] Jordan_U, netboot as in real netboot? thats absolutly out of the question [21:18] I've tried that a year back or so with gentoo and almost got insane [21:18] never really got it to work === diego is now known as Guest52909 [21:19] Jordan_U, do i make sense? [21:19] ManDay_: No, the kernel and initrd for the netboot installer can be loaded from a disk with grub just like any other kernel + initrd. [21:19] fuchyst Wellcome, but any way u must speak in English in this room [21:19] cyban: I know, but it's pretty busy so it's recommended to wait a while...here's what I could find that might help (2 links): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1156251 & http://www.ditii.com/2010/05/30/methods-of-enlightenment-for-ubuntu-linux-on-hyper-v/ [21:19] :) [21:19] i know i want to know any turks here [21:19] i said [21:19] !turkish | fuchyst [21:19] fuchyst: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde.

CPU goes right to 100% [21:23] its hould be in "internet" in the menu tho devi [21:23] maypo, works fine here [21:23] ManDay_: Yes. I've only ever used it with an ethernet connection but I assume it has wireless support also. [21:23] whats the prob? [21:23] maypo, might be better asked in #xchat ? Not sure what the issue would be here [21:23] Manday , Slidinghorn , thanks gys, it's there, but it wasn't a second ago I swear! [21:23] thanks; may have to do with running on eeepc :) [21:24] devi, lol sometimes it takes a min to update the menu [21:24] Jordan_U, fine, but before I try a question i should have asked in the first place: am i right to assume that the alternate/netboot installer offers more options on install and give me the chance to install a more lightweight ubuntu? [21:24] ManDay_: Yes. [21:24] Hello [21:24] Slidinghorn, good to know, patience is a virtue :) [21:25] Slidinghorn , can u maybe help me with my divx problem as well?

[21:54] what the difference?. Im on a comp which have 6gb ram intel quadcore 2. [21:54] can someone give me an open-source music player that also runs in windows?

[22:01] zenlunatic, nah, i've been going all cmdline - trying to become proficient in it [22:01] personally i would recommend the gui tools for samba [22:01] SlidingHorn: ok, I didn't know that [22:01] zenlunatic, actually, i didn't know that there were gui tools for samba [22:02] Is there a decent browser which includes the Google Chrome features, but does not contain the broken toolbar font that they have (non-configurable)? [22:02] hi lizza [22:02] pozic, firefox has a similar "multibar" that you can configure. what problem are you having? [22:03] suicidepills, try apt-get install gadmin-samba [22:03] suicidepills, compare the output of "ls -ld /home" and "ls -ld /test-share" [22:04] Anybody able to help with resizing the Ubuntu partition into the free space? [22:05] SlidingHorn: Firefox is sluggish. [22:05] Hardekyn: Boot an Ubuntu or gparted LiveCD, start gparted, resize the partition. [22:05] jbl_, both have identical perms [22:06] pozic, well to be honest, any "feature-rich" browser (i.e. having a multibar, and other stuff) is going to be a bit sluggish.... [22:06] SlidingHorn: the multi-bar is not what I mean by Google Chrome features. [22:06] suicidepills, how about "ls -ld /home/test-share" ? [22:06] how do I join a new network? [22:06] SlidingHorn: I mean the features that make Chrome appear fast. [22:06] Thanks Jordan_U I'll give it a go...been trying just using gParted from the running install...appreciate it :) [22:06] SlidingHorn: which Google had some presentations about in the past. [22:06] forward slash + # networkname? [22:07] SlidingHorn: the multi-bar only makes it slower. [22:07] Hardekyn: You're welcome. [22:07] that would disconnect you from the old server livingdaylight [22:07] SlidingHorn: but not by an annoying amount; the other optimizations done destroy Firefox completely. [22:07] pozic, oh...well -- there are tons of lightweight browsers out there, kazahakaze (sp?), midori, links, etc [22:07] livingdaylight: you mean to ask how to join a different channel? [22:07] downloaded the cheese tar pack, there is INSTALL, install-sh ....files, how to install it? [22:07] SlidingHorn: links? Seriously? [22:07] vu1kan: no, different network [22:07] pozic, you asked ;-) [22:07] psuasti_: you saying one can only be on one network like freenode at a time?

[22:09] SlidingHorn: not you! to answer your question :) [22:10] SlidingHorn: making something which is more lines of code, but much faster would be considered to be "light weight" by most users. [22:10] Guys anyone know anything about this flickering issue when scrolling ? I just instaled the latest drivers from ATi and everthing :/ [22:10] Hi folks. I'm replacing my debian-based server with an Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit server edition. The machine has two NICs in it, one of which needs to use PPPOE to talk with the DSL modem. Should I use pppoeconf or something else? (This box has no network until I get pppoe running.) [22:10] So I currently have a file server with specific samba shares for movies/tv/music etc but all my files are quickly outpacing the individual storage of my drives so I need some way to access these files via their current samba share but having the files located on any number of drives. can anyone help? [22:10] Hmmm [22:10] If you hide latency, even the largest programs will appear light-weight. [22:10] pozic: we're veering off topic, but I'd disagree to a point....yes there are plenty of browsers that claim to be lightweight but are as bloated as the next...however there are some good, small-footprint ones available. anyway...on to the next topic :-) [22:10] What does Wubi's "ACPI workarounds" use for kernel options? [22:10] slide: Use symbolic links. That's what I do. [22:11] It is just that people don't tend to optimize for that particular case. [22:11] SlidingHorn: yes, sure, next topic. [22:11] ... [22:11] wad, and they would work over samba? [22:11] brontoeee, sure do. [22:12] jbl_, i think i just figured it out [22:12] wad, not a bad idea, except managing the links could become annoying hrm.. maybe i could write a script to auto scan the dirs and auto add links depending on what filetype they are [22:12] brontoeee, samba asks the OS for the directories, and the OS understands symbolic links. QED. [22:12] right, i know they dont work with ftp [22:12] jbl_, i didn't realize that each user has a separate dir for their stuff [22:12] what versions of ubuntu work well for laptops? specifically a 32 bit laptop [22:12] psuasti_, 10.04. [22:12] jbl_, for some reason, thought /home always pointed to the user's home dir [22:13] jbl_, anyways, thanks for your help! [22:13] suicidepills, np [22:13] zenlunatic, thanks for your help, too! [22:14] how to install cheese, there is configure script, INSTALL, install-sh... any idea [22:14] make doesnt work, neither make install [22:14] loopidity: sudo apt-get install cheese [22:15] loopidity, can't you use the package that's in the ubuntu repos, like vulkan said? [22:15] vulkan i dont have internet for that box to do it that way [22:15] 'ello [22:15] wad, will the desktop versions work for laptops? [22:15] loopidity, then run the configure script if there is one [22:16] just do a ./configure --prefix=/usr/Local or whatever [22:16] how do i download 9.10? 10.04 has some issues i dont like [22:16] loopidity, in that case, you'll need all the dependencies that cheese requires. Not that easy w/o net access... [22:16] err should have been local not Local [22:16] psuasti_, i used netbook remix for a while (about 30 minutes), but i think the only difference is a gui [22:16] k [22:16] linux_is_my_hero, http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ [22:16] jbl_, anyway to know if the webcam will work after installation? [22:17] what is the proper syntax to do gksu? "gksu path/to/application" or is there something else necessary to write? [22:17] psuasti_, and thats only ever usefull for smallscreen laptops anyway [22:17] jbl_, got an error, my intltool is too old, oh no [22:17] sorry bout all the modes folks hopefully we won't have to set anymore bans for today [22:17] brontoeee, disagree on that one, netbook desktop in lubuntu is very nice, easy access to applications [22:18] are ya banning today [22:18] loopidity, hmm no absolute answer there, but you could try "lsusb" and google the USB id's of the webcam to see if there's a linux driver for it [22:19] Gryllida, what program are you trying to run? [22:19] jbl_, sounds good, i will see, thanks [22:19] SlidingHorn: don't know whether it really changes the syntax - but it's firefox [22:19] ubutom_, that it or something else than gui differences? [22:19] Gryllida, why do you want to run firefox as root???? [22:20] Gryllida, that's incredibly dangerous [22:20] brontoeee, well, I just think it also can be nice on big screens, that'S all :) [22:21] sebsebseb r u back? === pgeyleg_ is now known as pgeyleg === jmad980 is now known as sat_on_a_wall === sat_on_a_wall is now known as jmad980 [22:25] ubutom_, i was talking about official 'netbook remix' [22:25] SlidingHorn, thank you for your reply, but I've downloaded Firefox from Mozilla website, it has a Help - Check for updates menuitem, when I click it, it says "not enough permissions", which is why I want to run it as root to update it.

[22:50] soz not here [22:50] vu1kan, thanks, no, I mean the verbose bootup where you see what the system does, somehow I disabled splashscreen and dont remember how [22:51] ubutom_: no that seems to be right for the size 12288 it shows you how big it would make the partition, before applying anyway [22:51] ubutom_: / and /home are primary partitions [22:51] does someone have keys for hon :) ? [22:51] sebsebseb: / is Primary and in Begiining, ? === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [22:52] Uboy: yes in beginning thats how I do it [22:52] sebsebseb, is trying to partion for that ebcrpted home dir ? [22:52] hiexpo: no not going to do encrypted home :) [22:52] sebsebseb: can u see this plz > http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113181_ScreenshotCreatepartition.png [22:53] ^encrypted [22:53] Uboy: by the way make sure not to do an encrypted home, that can really mess up Ubuntu later on [22:53] hiexpo: just a seperate /home :) [22:53] sebsebseb, oh ok [22:53] hiexpo: and to fix his install as well, since something is rather wrong with it [22:53] ubutom_: you mean you want to see the boot messages? [22:53] sebsebseb, is he doing a fresh install [22:53] sebsebseb: did u see that? [22:54] sweetpi, yeah, found it, thanks :) [22:54] hiexpo: yes [22:54] hiexpo: and with seperate /home this time [22:54] sebsebseb, good thats best [22:54] hiexpo: indeed [22:54] forgot how i did it though, should write such things down in a text file [22:55] sebsebseb: hello again, I'm trying to run firefox as root to do 'help - check for updates', seems that I don't know how to gksu [22:55] Uboy: that looks ok, but you need to do the mount point, which is / [22:55] Gryllida: uhmm no you don't run Firefox as root or with gksudo === lefantomedlopera is now known as metemor [22:56] oh boy [22:56] sebsebseb: gksu or gksudo [22:56] Gryllida: also it tends to take a while for Ubuntu to have the latest version when one is out === metemor is now known as metemor158 [22:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey#Compose%20key okay, this article says that you can use XIM to set up custom compose key sequences, but following these instructions causes the compose key to stop working [22:56] Gryllida: no I am saying don't run it with any of that. don't use sudo for FIrefox, don't use root on Firefox [22:56] sebsebseb: my question now is Primary or Logical and option (beginning or End) , please tell me setting for each of 3 partitions [22:56] Gryllida: DO NOT RUN FIREFOX AS ROOT, you have been warned many times. It's a terrible idea and there is no valid reason to do it. [22:56] sebsebseb: Gryllida's trying to use the help>get update to pull down the latest ver. of ff from mozilla directly [22:56] Uboy: have you made the first partition yet? the / ? [22:56] sebsebseb: no , my question now is Primary or Logical and option (beginning or End) , please tell me setting for each of 3 partitions [22:56] * Gryllida sighs [22:57] Gryllida: ah yes, your that FIrefox add on developer guy aren't you? [22:57] Jordan_U, sebsebseb: I'm using firefox nightly from mozilla website, of course I need to update it at least every week. [22:57] guys, hows ARRL's field day ? [22:57] hello [22:57] Gryllida: If you want to use firefox from Mozilla's website (why?) then install it within your home directory. [22:57] Uboy: have you told it to make the first partition yet? [22:58] Uboy: if so what does it say in manual install for it? [22:58] Hello, i have recently installed Ubuntu and i am wondering if there is any way to make the Terminal to auto start when you turn on your computer ? [22:58] Jordan_U: why - because I'm nightly tester; then install - done; but I don't want to download and install it in same way manually every time I want to update it. [22:58] hugo_: go to system, preferences, and startup applications [22:58] Gryllida: Then install to your home directory. [22:59] Uboy: you can show me in manual install if you want, and then we can move on to partition 2 the seperate /home [22:59] sebsebseb: I'm to select for / partition yet, just tell me setting for / ? primary or logical and end or begininh? [22:59] Gryllida: Then firefox will havve permissions to update all of the files that it needs to update. [22:59] Uboy: primary and at the begining [22:59] Gryllida, isn't the firefox PPA not good enough for what you need? [22:59] sebsebseb: ok [22:59] Jordan_U: it's in usr/local/, and since I don't have any session saved, home page is an about: page, so no danger in running it as root [22:59] Uboy: what you showed me just now is ok, except for how you didn't do a mount point, which is / [23:00] hi all [23:00] Gryllida: Don't put it in /usr/local, put it in your home directory. [23:00] Uboy: also actsauly the size you put [23:00] jbl_: does it have the latest 3.7.a6pre version? if yes, tell me how to turn it on [23:00] Uboy: isn't the one I gave [23:00] quit [23:00] sebsebseb: ok it's created with / point and with 12GB at the begining with type praimary [23:00] Uboy: I gave you. 12288 [23:00] hugo_: after that, click Add, put in Terminal as the name, and gnome-terminal as the command [23:00] hugeand that's it [23:00] Uboy: however for / it can be a bit under anyway without a problem :) [23:00] Gryllida, I think so, check this: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [23:00] !seen ricotz [23:01] sebsebseb, yes I insert 12288 MB [23:01] vladsharp: there is no seen command. [23:01] Uboy: ok show me manual install [23:01] Uboy: what you get there now [23:01] LjL: no way to find out when someone's last been online? [23:01] Gryllida: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [23:01] vladsharp: if they're registered, do /msg nickserv info nickname [23:01] jbl_: mm... checking it out, but what is 'help - check for updates' menuitem for then? what if I want to use it? & I should learn how to gksu anyways [23:02] or whowas [23:02] LjL: great, thanks [23:02] Everytime I run sudo apt-get update I always get this error message: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) [23:02] jbl_: otherwise I'll have to file a bug 'remove check for updates manuitem in linux' [23:02] E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [23:02] sebsebseb: http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113216_ScreenshotInstall.png I done it [23:02] Gryllida: if you want to use the built in updater, you should install it to a directory in your home directory, so you don't need root to update (but the ppa is a good idea too) [23:02] sebsebseb: now creating /home, so tell me type and begining or end option [23:02] Hi, I have a motherboard with an optical spidf output, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to get any sound trough it. Any help? [23:03] Uboy: ok it doesn't show in GB right nevermind, how much RAM do you have 1GB yeah? [23:03] trism: the instructions say to install it to /usr/local . [23:03] Gryllida: That item works fine if you install to your home directory. You'll notice that packages from the repository don't have that menu item because you're supposed to use the package manager instead [23:03] sebsebseb: I can't remember, any command to show size of ram? [23:04] Uboy: free -m [23:04] how to create shortcut for [copy] from Keyboard Shortcuts [23:04] Jordan_U: the instructions say to install it to /usr/local . [23:04] Gryllida: why not use the PPA? [23:04] Gryllida, the fact that you cannot use the "Check for updates" is kind of your own doing: you installed in a directory for which you do not have write permissions. Installing in your home directory is what you want really [23:04] Hi i need some help install UnrealIrcd3.2.8.1 i tryed useing the fourms on it none of them are working i am willing to let a person do remote desktop [23:05] Hi there... using both, gtk-recordmydesktop or istanbul it is not possible to record sounds from desktop, other softwares, etc... For example, recording a video conference from skype it just recordsthe audio from my microfone, not the other. [23:05] Uboy: I think its about 1GB since the swap you had before. http://img22.img98.com/out.php/i111074_Screenshot1.png [23:05] Hi i need some help install UnrealIrcd3.2.8.1 i tryed useing the fourms on it none of them are working i am willing to let a person do remote desktop it errors out and then when started if started i cant connect to it and i cant get configs right i running Ubuntu 9.10 [23:06] hi edited /etc/fstab so that a FAT partition is mounted automatically at boot - it appears on the desktop, and that's fine. But when I double-click it, nothing happens. Then, if I double click it again, a window opens listing the files inside the partition [23:06] Uboy: anyway you want double the RAM for swap. and that should be the last partition really I guess. So the /home can't be made to big. [23:06] I have to double click it twice [23:06] how to set shortcut for [copy] from Keyboard Shortcuts ? [23:06] sebsebseb: please see the output of free -m command > http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113220_terminal.png [23:07] sebsebseb: I don't have swap, so what is the size of swap using?! [23:07] sebsebseb: in that picture? [23:07] mneptok, I don't think the PPA builds will behave differently from the official package in that regard. And if they do, we're back to needing root access ;) [23:07] Is there an easy way to check what graphics driver X is using? [23:08] Jordan_U: want to help me out here a little bit maybe? or hiexpo ? I tend to do computer with GB not MB :) [23:08] I'm trying to figure out why games in Wine run horribly slow [23:08] jbl_: instead of clicking "Check for updates" just run apt-get. [23:08] hi, ive installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Old Desktop PC (512 RAM). Ive replaced GNOME with E17 and a los of apps. But the system still consumes about 350 MB of RAM. HTOP doesnt show what is consuming that amount of memory. Ive disabled lots of services [23:08] And I suspect it's my graphics driver [23:08] shaqfu: that's wine - it's not %100 compatible with all windows software [23:08] Hi, can someone help me please? I am having some strange problems. My computer ( sony vaio x64 Lucid ) has been bogging down lately like crazy. It becomes almost impossible to launch programs, for example it took almost 5 minutes to launch xchat and it keeps graying out every couple minutes. Also, the laptop gets so hot it's difficult to touch. A couple times I had to force reboot and when I did I got a disk error, it scanned the first ti [23:08] me locked up then finally finished the second... how can I find out what is wrong with my system? [23:08] shaqfu: best option is for windows software, use windows in my view [23:08] Jordan_U: hiexpo also maybe I should have got him to use gparted then finnish off in manual [23:08] ikonia: Not really an option :( [23:08] frennzy: and why this is bad? [23:08] shaqfu: really? no windows install ? [23:08] ikonia: Any idea why it has horrible write speed, even on a SSD? [23:08] ikonia: Nope [23:08] Hi, I have a motherboard with an optical spidf output, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to get any sound trough it. Any help?

[23:10] hiexpo: 12GB / which he has done. big seperate home next. and 2GB or whatever he should have for his SWAP [23:10] I do have a Windows install, but it's on a 1080p monitor, and games upscale terribly to it [23:10] ikonia: Not yet; I will now [23:10] n8 [23:10] abuayyoub, sounds like defective cooling [23:10] it's acting like windows does when you get a really sick virus [23:11] ubutom_, i would think this but the fan is blowing fine and everything has been running fine until recently === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [23:12] abuayyoub, but you wrote it get's unusually hot? [23:12] abuayyoub, try to see if there are processes hogging the CPU/swapping a lot using the top or htop commands [23:12] ubutom_, yes, the system boggs down and get super hot. also on battery power I am lucky to get 30 minutes. [23:12] ubutom_: you sure the hard disk is 320GB? [23:12] Uboy: ^ [23:13] The package 'xchat' fails to build from source here; running 'sudo apt-get source xchat && sudo apt-get build-dep xchat', then running 'make' in the right directory, gives me "error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘gtk_xtext_get_type’". gcc seems to think that GtkType is not a valid type. What's wrong? [23:13] sebsebseb: yes [23:13] Uboy: ok lets try something then [23:13] sebsebseb: what/ [23:13] How can i upgrade in lubuntu? Do i just go to Menu > Preferences > Synaptic Package Manager > Edit > Mark All Upgrades ... [23:14] mneptok: Can you look at the output for uboys RAM? http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113220_terminal.png he should have 2GB swap yeah? [23:14] shoot got booted [23:14] Cynthia, have you tried apt-get build-dep xchat beforehand? [23:14] jbl_: Yes. [23:14] abuayyoub, ok, have you tried doing a memtest? [23:14] sebsebseb: my RAM size is 4GB but now the system show me 1Gb is using by SWAP area, is it true? becouse I don't have SWAP now and delet it! [23:15] hi i need some help install UnrealIrcd3.2.8.1 i tryed useing the fourms on it none of them are working i am willing to let a person do remote desktop it errors out and then when started if started i cant connect to it and i cant get configs right i running Ubuntu 9.10 [23:15] i useing unrealicd.conf from my old windows unrealircd so i dont gotta edit conenctionc changes also ( ALSO allowing putty and windows remote desktop along with ubuntu remote desktop for help ) [23:15] Hi, I have a motherboard with an optical spidf output, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to get any sound trough it. Any help? [23:15] hi edited /etc/fstab so that a FAT partition is mounted automatically at boot - it appears on the desktop, and that's fine. But when I double-click it, nothing happens. Then, if I double click it again, a window opens listing the files inside the partition [23:15] !flash [23:15] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:15] Uboy: you got 4GB RAM? well I did suggest keeping the RAM that was made for you before after using the installer, not to late to get it back [23:15] Uboy: nothing is applied yet [23:16] ubutom_, no i havent. But I will. I was hoping there is some kinda utilty that can scan my compute rnad see what's going on... [23:16] Uboy: however last time you set up yourself didn't you, and didn't use the guided install? [23:16] abuayyoub, logfile viewer could be useful too [23:16] Uboy: does 'ls -l /dev/ramzswap*' give you anything? [23:16] sebsebseb: & Cynthia wait plz [23:17] ubottu, BTW I do alot of downloading threw USenet which is hard on the CPU but I have a pretty decent machine I got 4gb ram and a pretty good processor so I dont see how that could be the cause... [23:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:17] Hi - I have the correct version of Java installed, restricted codecs, medibuntu, etc. But when I try to start Frostwire nothing comes up or starts - running Lucid, gnome - Any idea's? ? [23:17] anyone know why upgrading to the latest version of 9.10 from the iso install made fullscreening videos break on the ATI proprietary drivers? [23:17] abuayyoub, well, torrent is very heavy stress for hdd in general [23:17] Cynthia > no such file or directory reported [23:17] abuayyoub, many little files that have to be opened and saved and so on [23:18] ubutom_, im using a program called NZBget its a beast but its not running now and im still getting these problems after a fresh reboot [23:18] Uboy: what does 'swapon -s' say? [23:18] worked perfectly from the install with the same driver [23:18] Cynthia: Hi :) right well if you missed it, this is what we are doing. He's going to re install Ubuntu with / and swap and seperate /home. and I want the SWAP to be the right size of course, and made last. 1. / which he done. 2. /home 3. swap [23:18] sebsebseb: oh [23:19] ubutom_, top says I have 3 processes running and 182 asleep [23:19] Cynthia: so once I have the proper swap size, the rest isn't that difficult [23:20] Cynthia: it says there is /dev/sda3 with 1952769 for size and partition for type [23:20] Cynthia: output of him doing free -m http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113220_terminal.png I tend to do stuff in GB not MB :D [23:20] hm abuayyoub, dunno [23:20] Uboy: so you already have a swap partition... :) [23:20] * sebsebseb is thinking 8GB SWAP even if its a bit more than needed [23:21] Cynthia: his old swap partition is still on there, untill things are applyed, but that might also be the wrong size [23:21] abuayyoub, how do the %CPU and %MEM columns look like for the top 3 processes? [23:21] sebsebseb: Ok, I'll let you handle this [23:21] Cynthia: But I'm deleted all partitions! 5 minutes ago, sepsepsep see that! [23:21] i useing unrealicd.conf from my old windows unrealircd so i dont gotta edit conenctionc changes also ( ALSO allowing putty and windows remote desktop along with ubuntu remote desktop for help ) [23:22] oops [23:22] Uboy: perhaps Linux didn't see that yet, and you should issue 'sudo swapoff -a' [23:22] hi i need some help install UnrealIrcd3.2.8.1 i tryed useing the fourms on it none of them are working i am willing to let a person do remote desktop it errors out and then when started if started i cant connect to it and i cant get configs right i running Ubuntu 9.10 [23:22] Uboy: ok lets do this in gparted I think [23:22] there [23:22] Uboy: gparted first then finnish off in manual install [23:23] ok. sepsepsep 1- run sudo swapoff -a commadn and then run gparted? [23:23] Uboy: or lets leave room for 8GB of SWAP (which may be a bit more than needed) [23:23] Uboy: 4GB RAM you sure? [23:23] jbl_, looks like cpu 3,3,1 and %mem 0.7, 0.8, 1.0 [23:24] adf === metemor158 is now known as lefantomedopera [23:24] sebsebseb: with output of free -m command i thing it is 4GB === Morgiver_ is now known as Morgiver [23:24] jbl_, the program i was talking about nzbget was something like 17.0 /18 which still dosent seem like a whole lot. [23:24] Uboy: the old swap that is currently still on there, did you make that yourself? [23:24] I am trying to convert a video from avi to mp4 using mp4ize script from http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-convert-videos-to-ipod-smartphone.html , but it gives error "Unknown codec aac", i even tried changing it to libfaac, no use, also did ldconfig couple of times. [23:25] Error404NotFound: why not mencoder? [23:25] sebsebseb: yes [23:25] mediubuntu repos [23:25] Killaklown, you mean i should change it to mencoder? [23:25] libdvdcss [23:25] Cynthia: hiexpo How much RAM does he have? http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113220_terminal.png [23:25] Error404NotFound: no use mencoder package... comes with mplayer [23:25] Error404NotFound, use a program called Avidemux it is awesome for converting [23:25] sebsebseb: the size of Ram is 4GB, > 3 GB system show me and 1 GB is using by old wsap [23:25] let me see [23:26] could anyone recommend a primarily keyboard driven window manager with at least some work being done on it these days? [23:26] sebsebseb: i run the command 'lshw' and the output shows me 3approximately 3GB too [23:26] reverebeer: tiling wm? [23:26] 3 gig [23:26] jbl_, do you think its a hardware problem? the lappy is a work horse i download a whole lot but its still a good machine and under 6 months old. The fan seems like its blowing ok, and this problem dosent seem to happen all the time... [23:26] hiexpo: ok how big should his SWAP be? [23:27] reverebeer: i would recommend musca [23:27] hiexpo: 6GB? [23:27] i use 5 gig swap myself but most say 1 is ok [23:27] sebsebseb, i think they usually reccoment someting liek 20 - 25% of your disk size. [23:27] sebsebseb: wrong [23:27] double the ram for swap is a very old advice... nowadays I'd say most people will run fine with 1-2GB, if that's not even too much [23:27] abuayyoub, trying avidemux [23:27] sebsebseb, *recommend [23:27] abuayyoub: 6GB RAM for Uboy it seems, so how much you think he should do for SWAP? [23:27] Killaklown, yea, wikipedia has a nice overview of those. thanks! [23:28] hiexpo: the picture shown 1 gb is using with Swap and 3 Gb is free, it means 4Gb, true? [23:28] reverebeer: k [23:28] (Repeat from 15 minutes ago) The package 'xchat' fails to build from source here; running 'sudo apt-get source xchat && sudo apt-get build-dep xchat', then running 'make' in the right directory, gives me "error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘gtk_xtext_get_type’". gcc seems to think that GtkType is not a valid type. What's wrong? [23:28] abuayyoub, I've had a similar problem and in my case, the gnome-do process was eating all my CPU and inducing the same symptoms you are seeing. [23:28] GUYS MY SIZE OF RAM is 4GB! [23:28] 256mb just for no reason [23:28] Error404NotFound, i use it it's a great program [23:28] is there a way to block unwanted authorize requests from russian spammers in empathy? [23:28] Uboy: swap is not using your ram [23:28] Uboy: congrats... we have a prize for you [23:28] ubottu, dont use msn. [23:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:28] doh [23:28] Uboy's ram from that image is 3gb [23:28] duffydack, it's ICQ actually [23:28] ubutom_, dont use msn [23:29] Uboy: you have 3G of RAM and 2GB of swap... if you have 4GB but the operating system says you've got 3, you're probably running a 32bit operating system [23:29] ubutom_, dont use icq [23:29] duffydack, wise advice [23:29] lietu: yes I'm in 32 operating sysytem [23:29] Uboy: if you have a 64bit cpu, try a 64 bit version of the operating system to see if it can detect the 4GB [23:29] ubutom_, actually I activated an old msn account the other day. I had hundreds of requests..ugh. Never had any such on google talk (gmail) [23:29] duffydack, every other client allows to block unwanted requests [23:29] jbl_, interesting. I also thought It could be something i installed I like to test out alot of beta stuff... [23:30] lietu: no my CPu is 32bit [23:30] Uboy: and if the CD is all ok, and it doesn't boot then yeah 32bit [23:30] ubutom_, true. Pidgin does also [23:30] 32 bit works better on a 64 bit sys [23:30] well, seems I jsut have to use another client duffydack [23:30] Uboy: ok lets install this then [23:30] is there a utilitly that can scan and tell me if I got a hardware/software problem? [23:30] hiexpo: so 6GB SWAP or? [23:30] I`m not really impressed by empathy, or ubuntu`s choice to use it. [23:30] i yse5 [23:30] duffydack: same here [23:30] I prefer to have all my 6GB of RAM usable ;) ... besides, 64bit is pretty good thesedays [23:30] duffydack: altough I haven't tried Empathy for well over a year [23:30] lol why would you ever need 6 gb swap [23:30] its so lacking is so many ways I cant count them [23:30] duffydack: and when I did it was rather breif [23:30] I'm trying to follow http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Updating+Firefox?s=update+firefox&as=s#Manually_check_for_updates and step 2 fails because I didn't run Firefox as root, while according to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Linux the installation directory is usr/local . How do I run Firefox as root? I tried gksu, but it didn't launch. [23:30] hardcampa: thats why I am asking [23:30] I you actually need 6 gb swap you NEED more memory [23:31] hardcampa: how much he should have [23:31] sebsebseb, ok well thing is, noone can answer that as noone knows how you use your computer. [23:31] jbl_, is there a utilitly that can scan and tell me if I got a hardware/software problem? [23:31] yah, it'S pretty basic, pidgin as default was better imo [23:31] i use 5 because i operate many apps at one time but proballyfor him 1.5 would be ok [23:31] In general 512 mb or swap is enough [23:31] sebsebseb, the notification sounds, what you can actually hear.. lol what a joke [23:31] Uboy: then there's Physical Address Extension that could allow you to use that 4GB of RAM, but I don't think it works THAT well, depends on the case I guess... and you might have to compile your own kernel [23:31] If your system starts to use more than that everything is going to crawl and you're going to hate your system anyway. [23:31] Uboy: I think lets go with 6GB SWAP even though you don't really need that, plus no one can give a proper answer for how much SWAP [23:32] But I mean you might want that if you are fooling around with images. [23:32] Uboy: and you got the hard disk space [23:32] lietu: Uboy could also install linux-generic-pae [23:32] mabahot === erdem_tr is now known as erdem-tr [23:32] to much swap can cause the system to be slower [23:32] hiexpo: how much then? or shall we not bother [23:32] Uboy, swap depends on your usage. I run a netbook with 1gig ram and no swap.. I run a few apps here and there, all good [23:32] sebsebseb: 1-2GB is fine for normal use [23:32] sebsebseb, look do you usually run out of ram? [23:33] hardcampa: no [23:33] Uboy, best way is to run all of your apps you use, see what swap usage is, then set it to that. [23:33] abuayyoub, HW faults would tend to manifest themselves as system hang ups or random crashes. The symptoms you described make me think of a badly behaving piece of SW. [23:33] if not then give it whatever.. like 256mb would be enough [23:33] put 2 on it [23:33] Uboy: ok 2GB swap that should be ok [23:33] sebsebseb, there's also these tools that auto sizes the swap (if it's a file) [23:33] hiexpo: and the slowdown can be a result of the OS being optimized for low RAM or something, the use of swap can be tuned with swappiness [23:33] sebsebseb, depending on need [23:33] sebsebseb ok [23:33] Uboy: however make that last [23:33] lietu, yes [23:34] sebsebseb ok, now I'm in making 2nd partition for /home, what Type and what Place/ [23:34] hello? [23:34] hi i need some help install UnrealIrcd3.2.8.1 i tryed useing the fourms on it none of them are working i am willing to let a person do remote desktop it errors out and then when started if started i cant connect to it and i cant get configs right i running Ubuntu 9.10 [23:34] sebsebseb, if you want check out swapspaced: Small, stable system add-on that continuously and automatically adapts available virtual memory space to your actual memory needs. [23:34] abuayyoub, but you can try to check your RAM using the "Memory test(memtest86+)" grub option when you start your computer. [23:34] swapspace* [23:34] jbl_, yea I think so as well. Like I said the system works fine, it gets a little hot when its working hard but. I am thinking it has to do something with the powermanager, I have had alot of problems with power mngt on this machine and lucid. [23:34] Uboy: hold on figuring out the size for /home [23:35] jbl_, thats a good idea ill try that [23:35] sebsebseb: see my question? [23:35] jbl_, what about HW scan? is there a prog out there that can give me a good scanning? [23:35] lol [23:35] Gryllida: I am finnishing off something here from last night, so Uboy is the priority at the moment for me, when it comes to this [23:36] abuayyoub, I'm afraid Google or somebody else in here might be more knowledgeable than me about that... [23:36] jbl_, well thank you anyhow :) [23:37] Uboy: ok [23:37] Uboy: show me manual install [23:37] Uboy: after you made / [23:37] sebsebseb: Screenshot? [23:37] Uboy: yeah [23:37] sebsebseb: ok hold on [23:37] Uboy: you already did it seems [23:38] Uboy: try this as the size for /home it might be wrong [23:38] Gryllida: gksu /usr/local/bin/firefox [23:38] Uboy: and then show me manual install. [23:38] I think I already tried it... trying again now [23:38] Uboy: 221184 [23:38] I just tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition (32-bit) onto a software RAID-1 (md). Everything worked right up until the reboot stage, and the box won't boot. It crashes to busybox, complaining that it can't find the filesystem. Should I be able to do this? The installer seemed to think it would work. [23:39] sebsebseb here > http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113300_2.png [23:39] sweetpi: indeed, it didn't launch [23:39] Guys, you got any good suggestions for a personal wiki? I just want it locally to write down ideas and programming notes. [23:39] Gryllida: whats the path to firefox bin? [23:39] sebsebseb: I multiply everithning * 1024 ! [23:39] Uboy: yes thats what I am doing [23:39] sebsebseb: I do that tnx [23:39] Gryllida: that page doesn't say you have to install it to /usr/local, it says if it is just for you, you can leave it in your home directory, it just recommends /opt or /usr/local if you are installing for multiple users [23:40] Uboy: x 1024 yeah [23:40] my pay packet * 1024 = mmmm nice [23:40] duffydack: your what? [23:40] trism: the installation instructions do say to put it to /usr/, and with a reason [23:40] sebsebseb: my college Studing is about Electronics! [23:40] duffydack: oh £1024 ? [23:40] * sebsebseb sucks at Maths ,but can do partition sizes :D [23:40] trism: look at the second link I posted [23:41] Gryllida: "If you are the only user, the extracted files could stay where they are", from the link you provided [23:41] sebsebseb, you dont know my pay packet :) but * 1024 its what it should be [23:41] Gryllida: and where they are is in ~ [23:41] trism: I'm.. not the only user. [23:41] Uboy: ok made /home yet? === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [23:41] sebsebseb: ok, now the calculator show me 312320MB for 302GB for /home, tell me the Type (primary or logical) and the Option (begin or Enf) [23:41] watching wax on wax off good ole movie [23:42] Uboy: thats not the number I have [23:42] sebsebseb: u calculate for SWAP [23:42] Uboy: what I tried to do was start with your actsual hard disk size - 14GB. 12GB is the / yep. the other 2GB is the swap [23:43] Gryllida: you do know to enter your user password for gksu right? [23:43] Uboy: well whatever works, and you can see if it is right, before applying anyway [23:43] Uboy: point is you want about 2GB for swap, doesn't have to be exact [23:43] trism: I can elaborate... firefox's main files are the ones which should be changed only during updates, and whenever installing an addon / extension / running a java applet as normal user, there shouldn't be any access of them to firefox's installation directory. this is for better security, and now I just want to run it as root to update. [23:43] I always do / everything and a small swap normally. Don't see the point in making /home a separate partition (unless you put it on another bigger hd or something) [23:44] hardcampa: or want to re install Ubuntu, like Uboy is about to do [23:44] Good afternoon. I'm trying to diagnose an issue with my CD drive and I'm looking for some help. It seems that it won't recognize CD-Rs, yet it'll recognize CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc. [23:44] hey, if I install tinyxp onto a USB stick... will it affect my Ubuntu install at all? I'm afraid of it writing over my bootloader or something [23:44] hardcampa: and he may want to in the future as well [23:44] I use 1052mb for 1gig swap. [23:44] sweetpi: I tried gksu twice, first time it did prompt for a password, second time it didn't, both times firefox didn't appear in processes list, didn't launch [23:44] sebsebseb: wait! u say me > 1. / 2. /home and 3.SWAP, now you tell me SWAP must have part of / ? [23:44] hardcampa: plus it helps with distro hopping :D [23:44] it says 1gig..so eh [23:44] Uboy: no I didn't say that [23:44] I always completely format [23:44] cdrom_id says that it recognizes that there is some kind of media in the drive, ID_CDROM_MEDIA=1, but doesn't specify if it's blank or not, like when I insert a DVD-R. [23:44] Uboy: by default its part of /, but we don't want that === daniil is now known as dkulchenko [23:45] I've tried earlier versions of udev and the kernel with no such luck. Any ideas? [23:45] sebsebseb: so I can't Undrestand this > (03:12:46 AM) sebsebseb: Uboy: what I tried to do was start with your actsual hard disk size - 14GB. 12GB is the / yep. the other 2GB is the swap [23:45] Uboy: 230 x 1024 = the number [23:46] Uboy: minus the number that is 14 x 1024 [23:46] How can I merge my "Applications", "places" and "System" menu's into one menu that drops down when I click the ubuntu logo? [23:46] thanks [23:47] Uboy: then the number you get after that. 221184 is probably the size the /home partition should be [23:47] Uboy: unless I did something wrong [23:47] What is good cybercafe management software? Something where I can throttle users who connect to my wifi's bandwidth [23:47] hi everybody, i'm trying to edit the grub in ubuntu 10.04 but i cannot locate "/boot/grub/menu.lst" file. can anyone help me plz [23:47] sebsebseb: 12 GB for / , 2 Gb for SWAP, then 12+2 *1024 = 14336 so 320000-14336=305644 > the size of /home ? ok? === fred_ is now known as Guest13703 [23:47] Uboy: you can try with the number you got, and you can try with mine, it will show at the top who was more correct, and then when its ok, you can make the swap, and apply and finnish the install [23:48] paranoidphreak, /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [23:48] Uboy: well just try, and it shows as I said [23:49] paranoidphreak, if your using 10.04 it may have grub2 installed, check for the file I just mentioned [23:49] getting ready to go camping here for the fourth of July weekend at don Pedro every year event so if i miss something please repeat i will catch it thanx [23:49] How can I merge my "Applications", "places" and "System" menu's into one menu that drops down when I click the ubuntu logo? [23:49] Gryllida: gksu wont tell you if it cant find the program, or if its the wrong password. it will just exit. === ExcruciationX is now known as Obabo [23:49] aurilliance: Right-click panel; Add to Panel; select Main Menu, click Add === Obabo is now known as ExcruciationX [23:49] sebsebseb: ok, so plz answer mu question dude > say Type (logical or Primary) and place (end or Beginning) for both /home and swap [23:49] Uboy: / is fine. make /home next and leave the size for swap, then make swap, finnish isntall, done! [23:50] aurilliance: there's Main Menu, which is one icon, and Menu Bar, which is [img]Applications Places System [23:50] Cynthia, thanks! I didn't know that applet existed! [23:50] Uboy: /home is primary and at the beginning [23:50] aurilliance: there is an alternate menu you can add. right click on the panel choose add to panel. it is in the list of applets. then remove the original menu [23:50] erUSUL, thanks - got it now [23:50] Uboy: and I guess you can't make swap primary and it has to be logical and I guess at the end [23:50] i need to get some assistance installing an NVIDIA 370LP onto my freshly installed ubuntu 10.04 system pLEASE [23:51] dawgs, have you tried the hardware drivers application? [23:51] Uboy: and show me manual install, before applying :) [23:51] Uboy: before doing it for real [23:51] aurilliance: i found the file. should i edit "set default="0"" to something else if i want to load another OS by default? [23:51] can I launch my ubuntu installation on hd2 from windows 7 installed in hd1 using a virtual box or is not possible? [23:51] sweetpi: ok, I figured out the path, it worked, but.... the application doesn't look any different, though I launched it as root, no warnings in its title or whatever. is it normal? [23:51] sebsebseb: I can chnange the options for SWAP, what is better? [23:51] dawgs, It should be in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [23:52] Uboy: well they were suggesting 2GB for SWAP [23:52] AURILLIANCE, it's not showing up under there, but the device is installed [23:52] aurilliance: i knew how to do it in menu.lst [23:52] does anyone know of a file browser that allows color coding of files/folders like in OSX's finder? I'm using nautilus right now and I must say the emblems just don't cut it [23:52] sebsebseb: and Type & Place? [23:52] Uboy: logical and end [23:52] paranoidphreak, I think so, if uncertain type "man grub" at a command line for help [23:52] Uboy: I think you have to go with [23:52] Gryllida: not sure, ive never ran firefox as root. [23:52] once I edit .bashrc, how do I make the changes permanent (sic?)? [23:52] aurilliance: thanks alot [23:52] Royall: they already are [23:53] ah, thanks [23:53] paranoidphreak, note that it's best to edit that file though (see the comments at the top of it) [23:53] sweetpi: I think the system should put huge warnings into title of graphical apps that are running as root [23:53] paranoidphreak, np [23:53] Royall: after making changes you need to source it.. source ~/.bashrc ..and the changes last forever [23:53] Uboy: for swap [23:53] Royall: once you save the file the changes will stick... if you want to modify already running shelss you have to source the file in them [23:53] Gryllida: you could always change the window title in about:config [23:53] dawgs, I"m not sure then sorry - hve you googeld it? are others having the same problems? [23:53] un214: / and /home primary and begining, swap logical and end, that should work :) [23:53] Uboy: ^ [23:53] good evening/morning/what-time-ever everyone [23:54] masteroffire, , good morning [23:54] sweetpi: of course I could, but it would be same regardless it's running as root or not, which is what I expect the system to show by different titles [23:54] thank you, aurilliance [23:54] does anyone know of a good resource on conguration of named.conf [23:54] does anyone know why filenames with special characters don't show up at all? I have some files with japanese characters I've installed all the language packs and restarted, but still nothing. seems to happen with other characters like umlauts, those don't show up either [23:54] hi guys, got a really weird problem hopefully someone will have come across because it's almost impossible to google about... [23:54] sebsebseb: here > http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113302_3.png [23:54] sweetpi: anything I gksu, it has same appearance, so that I can just forget that I am running it as root? [23:54] ocatacoo: "The unix administraton handbook" [23:55] using hda audio, mic works but even with no headphones and no speakers attached, pulse is recording what is being output as well as what is being input [23:55] * aurilliance is afk [23:55] Hi, I have a motherboard with an optical spidf output, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to get any sound trough it. Any help? [23:55] Gryllida: about:config would only change it for the user running it(root in your case) [23:55] !away > aurilliance [23:55] aurilliance, please see my private message [23:55] Gryllida: no, gksu will not change the appearance [23:55] what is a good problem to put on a router that will limit the users per second download speed? like 50kb per sec per each user connected to a wifi connection? [23:55] sweetpi oh [23:56] lunks, set volume in alsamixer? [23:56] sebsebseb: manual install > http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113302_3.png [23:56] clayg: the router is a linux box already installed ? [23:56] Uboy: Ok that looks good, but I wonder why the swap does not show in the bar. [23:56] sweetpi it's potential security issue [23:56] erUSUL, it will be [23:56] un214: do you know of a free resource [23:57] Gryllida: what is? [23:57] ocatacoo: I assume you tried man named.conf [23:57] sweetpi: that apps running as root don't look any different [23:57] clayg: probably router oriented distros like ipcop zeroshell shorewall etc... make that easier than ina stock diestro [23:57] sebsebseb: i think becouse that is very small [23:57] :d [23:57] I've some trouble regarding Mozilla Thunderbird 3: I am here with some user who had Virus problems so I thought: Hey, let's try Ubuntu. Everything is fine so far, but I tried to copy the profile directory from a w*ndows partition... (this method worked fine for me when I switched to Ubuntu) but Thunderbird does not work right [23:57] hi [23:57] sebsebseb: so a question [23:58] named.conf is bind [23:58] Gryllida: thats not a security problem, its a pebkac issue [23:58] sweetpi it means I can run file explorer or firefox or something as root, then forget, then hit a wrong button and erase some system directory or something [23:58] masteroffire, what's it doing incorrectly? any errors, etc? [23:58] it brings up coreutil [23:58] long long man [23:58] omani, have already tried :P [23:58] Hello, when unmounting my USB disc I'm getting the following error under Ubuntu 10.04: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/589/usbumounterror.jpg ... is this a known bug? [23:59] Uboy: you made sure you made the swap ok? [23:59] Gryllida: when you first run as root, change the settings so it does look different then. [23:59] can you deploy vps systems within a ubuntu cloud? [23:59] sebsebseb: If in the future I wanna to use Windows as main OS, the /home partition does not shown in windows, what can I do then? [23:59] Uboy: SWAP isn't a normal partition so that could be it. [23:59] Gryllida: e.g. in Mint, the default root nautilus' window bg color is set to red [23:59] sebsebseb: yes swap is created on sda5 [23:59] erUSUL, are those fairly easy to use? I'd like to have something that people can connect to my wireless router if i give them access but will be limited to 50kb per second speeds to one users can't slow everyone else down [23:59] Gryllida: i agree, but i also see no reason to run those as root in the first place [23:59] Uboy: thats a good thing, Windows shoudn't really be alloweed to access the /home for security reasons, lets say you get a proper nasty virus in Windows for example that deletes your data, well then it will delete what is in /home as well
