[00:00] Uboy: also you told me last night, that you would only have Ubuntu or Windows on the computer. That you woudn't dual boot [00:00] bored! [00:00] Uboy: anyway 4GB RAM or whatever you said, you have enough to virtual machine Windows :D [00:00] SlidingHorn: It starts up but not correctly... some part of the background is drawn through Thunderbird's window, some menus are not working/the menu outline is drawn but not the menu items... receiving messages does not work etc. ... and: this also happens if I switch back to the empty(!!) default profile of thunderbird which was created after it's first run [00:00] man name or named [00:00] maxxx, do you have an ubuntu related support question? [00:00] Uboy: fine for most apps not 3D Windows games and stuff like that though, but support is getting there slowly [00:00] anyone using powerdns ? :) [00:01] This is frustrating - I can't find an answer to my problem because so many people have problems getting anything from their mic, trying to NOT get something from mic input is almost impossible [00:02] in fact Thunderbird does not behave like I know it... and I'm using it since it first was released [00:02] Gryllida: i agree, but i also see no reason to run those as root in the first place [00:02] Uboy: and if you want to dual boot uhmm [00:02] Uboy: you will bump into an issue [00:02] sebsebseb: ok, but perhaps I think and acording one of my friend using 3-4 years ubuntu, he said don't create whole partition off HDD in ext4, creat it on NTFS or FAT, you perhaps wanna to use windows without linux in future [00:02] Joran: your problem is that you get input from your mic, and you don't want to? [00:02] hi there [00:02] !hi [00:02] 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! [00:03] Joran: mutting all input channels in alsamixer does not work ? or in sound preferences ? [00:03] Uboy: I have used since second release in 2005 :) [00:03] i loged in from my n900 [00:03] Uboy: and I stopped sharing a partition with Windows that was Fat32 by the way [00:03] how can icheck existin channels [00:03] Uboy: When Ubuntu gained stable NTFS read and write support in Ubuntu 7.10, the October 2007 release [00:03] is there any way to talk with someone real time from the command line who is ssh'd to the same server as you? I need the conversation to stay local so any type of chat client that connects to a third party is not an option. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [00:03] how can i view them [00:03] Cynthia: the problem is that output of pcm is being recorded internally - not by the mic, but by some part of the system (guessing at pulse but could be the driver) - if I don't have speakers or mic attached and monitor the input channel it's as if I've selected mix in the mixer rather than mic. [00:03] Uboy: you can read and write whatever is in a WIndows partition from Ubuntu [00:03] hi === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [00:04] lake don pedro whew huh july 4th [00:04] sebsebseb: OK GUY! According to you! I hate windows after this! just Ubuntu! :-D [00:04] Uboy: so no need to have a data partition to share between the two anymore, really [00:04] rubbs: maybe the old "talk" unix command still works in this day and age ? [00:04] I have problem [00:04] does someone know how long the resize2fs command does take for resizing from 3TB to 4TB? [00:04] does it takes hours, days? [00:04] * duffydack has a data partition to share with everyone. provided everyone has ext4 and encryption capable.. [00:05] !ask | DDavid [00:05] DDavid: 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. :-) [00:05] i have hdmi output by hitting the 'video out' key on my laptop does not show my computer on the tv. it used to work on karmic. tips? [00:05] Uboy: in fact I don't remember properly, but maybe I stopped sharing a partition with Windows before Ubuntu 7.10 [00:05] erUSUL: yep, it's as if the "mix" channel is duplexed into the "mic" channel - I want to record from the mic but not receive what's going out (which isn't necessarily audible to the mic to pic up anyway, but if it is then there's echo created) [00:05] rubbs: You can use "write" [00:05] Uboy: also when it comes to file systems, Linux file systems are better than Windows file systems :) [00:05] guyes can u plz tell me how to view channels? i using irssi [00:05] Uboy: hence why you don't need to disk defrag a Linux distro for example [00:05] naturegodtm: maybe /channels [00:06] naturegodtm: what r u trying to do? [00:06] erUSUL: "mix" channel is muted but still audio being played is "recorded" [00:06] i am new [00:06] !info talk | rubbs [00:06] rubbs: talk (source: netkit-ntalk): Chat with another user. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.17-14 (lucid), package size 22 kB, installed size 92 kB [00:06] loged in from a n900 [00:06] green [00:06] I'd be pleased if someone could help me with this _really_ annoying bug in Thunderbird. I can't find any usefull information to fix this odd behaviour - on my own machine Thunderbird runs without any problems but on this machine here even the default profile does not work. If I start it with default profile it shows an "Add Account" dialog... but it does not have any content in it... [00:06] using issi [00:06] you speak spanish [00:06] erUSUL: Jordan_U thanks I'll take a look at those. [00:06] Joran: maybe that's some pulseaudio setting ? ... checked its config ? [00:07] sebsebseb: YES U right, so I have to buy one 500 GB External HDD for Rescue day! [00:07] I speak spanish [00:07] Uboy: no === ^oo^ is now known as STiK [00:07] k5673, joder! [00:07] Uboy: what did you mean by rescuse day exactly? [00:07] Waz?! [00:07] star314: it looks like a bug. If you USB disk only mounts one partition, just use "unmount" or "eject". 'safely remove drive' is for unmounting multiple partitions on a removable drive. [00:07] Uboy: if your going to re install Ubuntu in the future or even change to another distro, much easier now you have seperate /home. which will be data and program user data :) [00:07] yeah, there's nothing /apparent/ in pulse config, but as I say, impossible to google for this because the signal to noise ratio is rediculous the minute you want information about recording from mic input in linux [00:08] sebsebseb: the day that I have fault with linux and wanna delet Linux fully and use only windows, ok? got it? [00:08] sebsebseb: How big is your home folder? [00:08] Uboy: having an external hard disk as well woudn't hurt though, since you can back up data to that [00:08] ok when i type /channels nothing happens [00:08] k5673, just something I learned from my spanish friend lol [00:08] thune3: Thanks. At the moment I'm looking on google for this bug. [00:08] soadkombucha: pretty smalll actsaully, since this computer has been through quite a bit when it comes to partitioning, and I even have an old Ext3 partition still that used to be a seperate /home for Ubuntu [00:09] masteroffire, only thing that I can think of is a lack of resources...does the computer meet requirements? also what about display drivers, are they up to date? [00:09] Ah ok. Is like when you learn some new word, and look for the right context to use it.. [00:09] thune3: Seems there are plenty of entries but I haven't found a solution, yet :( [00:09] ok sebsebseb: lets continue install [00:10] thune3: e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/466575 [00:10] Uboy: uh yeah I thought you had already, I said it was ok [00:10] sebsebseb: I have mine set at 5GB [00:10] . [00:10] i sure am loving this new ubuntu 10.04 [00:10] soadkombucha: mine is actsauly about 12GB really where I wanted a / ,but coudn't do that since how things are at the moment [00:10] sebsebseb: I can always make it bigger if I want to. It's on an extended partition. [00:10] what is the hardware that controls the video out on my laptop? is it the video card? [00:10] sebsebseb: That stinks. [00:11] (hdmi out) [00:11] k5673, ok amigo,, un besos [00:11] owen1: yes [00:11] sebsebseb: I can resize mine dynamically. Speaking of which I need to install gparted. [00:11] Muak [00:11] mysql navigator, anyone know why it doesn't show up in menu? [00:11] soadkombucha: I could get rid of Vista, thats taking up like 60GB on here, and uhmm not working properly, after this latest re install, it seems [00:11] Eighteens: No problems? [00:11] hey guyes are using irssi? [00:11] joder [00:11] sebsebseb: Windows 7 [00:11] naturegodtm: No but I know HOW to [00:11] nice [00:11] Uboy: if you use ext3 for your home directory in linux, you can install explore2fs in windows to copy files off it if you can't get into windows [00:11] soadkombucha: hardly ever go on it, and when I do, i'll be offline. 1 security :) 2. won't nag me for updates or well it might anyway [00:11] i am usung it on my n900 [00:12] right now [00:12] sebsebseb: I'm 18 and I need a Windows computer for college [00:12] SlidingHorn, the machine is a AMD Athlon XP 3200... so it's about 2,2 GHz and it's got 2 GB of RAM... the HDD is quite old regarding it's label but SMART Info says it has been in use for only 3 days even if it is 4 years old... the graphics adapter could be some sort of a problem ... the bootup splash is crippled... but after boot everything works fine so I don't think that's the problem [00:12] star314: do you only have one partition on the drive? just use unmount or eject. [00:12] erUSUL: lspci shows me some lines. which of them is the video card? i see VGA compatible controller, and Display controller. is it one of those? [00:12] duffydack: if it is un ( one ) then is beso ( singular ) not besos ( plural ) ;P [00:12] owen1: vga [00:12] soadkombucha: depends on the apps, Microsoft Office works well in Wine for example, well most of it === antoine__ is now known as t0ny0 [00:12] tnx Joran! [00:12] Hi, can someone please tell me how to login to my installed ubuntu from the terminal in the liveCD so that I can reinstall grub? [00:12] masteroffire, dunno what it could be then...sorry :-\ [00:12] does anyone know how to view channels: [00:12] soadkombucha: and you could probably get by with a virtual machine for Windows [00:12] anyone know anything on Envy tool in 10.04 ??? [00:12] erUSUL, ok. besos [00:12] !grub2 | Hardekyn1 intructions here [00:12] Hardekyn1 intructions here: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:12] sebsebseb: Eh. [00:12] erUSUL: since lucid, i can't do hdmi out. how to troubleshoot it? [00:13] SlidingHorn, thanks for your time anyway! [00:13] sebsebseb: This hard drive is plenty big to support multiple operating systems. [00:13] soadkombucha: right, but dual booting is a bit sucky really [00:13] owen1: dunno; i gues it depends on the graphic card do you have ... [00:13] sebsebseb: Thank U very very Much dude, I'm now pressing Install Button so it will be reboot. i'll come back [00:13] thune3: Yes, on this drive there is only one partition but I have a second drive with more than one (AFAIK 5) and I'm getting the same error there. [00:13] soadkombucha: plus a vm is good for security when it comes to Windows, get a virus or something, just delete it like a normal file, use a clean copy or snapshot [00:13] sebsebseb: Why do you say that? [00:13] does anyone know how to view channels on irssi? [00:13] Hardekyn1: it's first a matter of mounting your system [00:13] Uboy: uhmm [00:13] That dual booting is kind of crappy. [00:13] erUSUL, Cynthia: any other suggestions? [00:13] Uboy: you can stay here [00:13] Uboy: whilst it installs [00:13] fdisk -l will list partitions, identify your root (/) partiton [00:13] erUSUL: intel mobile 4 series [00:13] erusul that's great, but I need to know how to login as root in my installed ubuntu from the terminal in the livecd before I can do any of that [00:13] Joran: nope sorry [00:14] that's what I'm stuck with, lol [00:14] un214: sudo fdisk -l [00:14] mount /mnt and check [00:14] sebsebseb: is doesn't reboot system? [00:14] Uboy: not until the install is finished [00:14] Uboy: it wil want to re boot, when it has finnished installing Ubuntu [00:14] How do I delete the system sounds such as the login sound :D [00:14] soadkombucha: Why do I say what? [00:14] Hardekyn1: use sudo like you will normally do ( empty password in the livecd) [00:14] Joran: I have no idea [00:14] sebsebseb: ok due [00:14] !rootshell | Hardekyn1 [00:14] Hardekyn1: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [00:14] why is Envy not supported in 10.04 ???? anyone ?? [00:14] dominicdinada: Go to System --> Preferences --> Login Screen --> unlock and disable the login sound [00:14] does anyone know how to view channels on irssi? anyone : [00:14] sebsebseb: A question [00:15] rescue cd is a really strong argument for root shell [00:15] Joran: To be honest, I've been looking for a way to have the mixer record from the "mix" input for ages, but never found the option to in Sound Preferences (GNOME) [00:15] sebsebseb, I hope you do know that a VM is not the ultimate protection against security breaches - in fact many VM solutions have bugs that allow attackers to break out of the VM and get control of the host system... [00:15] hi guys somebody speak spanish??? [00:15] I type sudo lanh and it tells e command not found erusul [00:15] naturegodtm: You mean list all of the channels you're in? [00:15] naturegodtm: all the network channels ? the ones you are on? [00:15] masteroffire: yes I know [00:15] jr: #ubuntu-es [00:15] Hardekyn1: what is lanh ? [00:15] masteroffire: still got to treat it like a normal partitioned install [00:15] !es | jr [00:15] jr: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [00:15] probably his hostname [00:15] coolman:just use the Hardware Drivers app in Menu>System>Administration [00:15] masteroffire: however at least you won't have to mess around with real partitions, when you want to start over [00:15] Joran: Could you tell me how you managed to use "mix", while we're at it? And others can still try to help with your problem [00:15] anyone know why mysqlnavigator doesn't show up in the menu? [00:15] that's my username on the installed ubuntu erusul [00:16] i mean all the channels [00:16] join #ubuntu-es [00:16] sebsebseb: I wanna to install and active and use my fingerprint sensor for Dell Vostro 1520 NoteBook, but i can't find the driver and software can u help me? [00:16] soadkombucha: No such options but i deleted all the ubuntu system sounds [00:16] Hardekyn1: time for a lesson in architecture [00:16] Hardekyn1: http://paste2.org/p/895100 [00:16] Thank you so much, now I've updated the firefox nightly which I downloaded from the mozilla website by running it as root and hitting help-checkforupdates. now, what do I do to update the stable version, which doesn't contain such menu item? [00:16] sebsebseb, that's true... you only need to have enough space for the virtual hard disk [00:16] Hardekyn1: i do not understand what you try to do isssuing « sudo yoyurusername » [00:16] masteroffire: and there are a few ways to make Windows quite secure without anti virus and anti spyware and what not programs, but I am not helping with Windows in here :) pluss its off topic anyway [00:16] Hardekyn1: that does nothing [00:16] naturegodtm: All of the channels on the server? [00:16] Cynthia, try alsamixer -c0 -V capture - if your card has "mix" that should allow you to select it (space bar) for input instead of mic (or if you're really lucky as well as) [00:16] Hardekyn1: follow the instructions i link earlier [00:16] erUSUL: this is supposed to run next commands as root on some systems [00:16] looks like Typos_King beat me to it [00:17] Gryllida: not in ubuntu afaics [00:17] Gryllida: sudo -i [00:17] Hi Flannel, how r u dude? [00:17] y isnt this possible ? how do u guyes find channels? [00:17] WXZ:just press ALT+F2 and write "mysqlnavigator" [00:17] Uboy: I'm doing fine, thanks. [00:17] sebsebseb, yeah... making Windows secure is quite a difficult task ... or: making the system "secure" may be easy but the user is the real danger to the system... and this applies to every OS [00:17] I set up a launcher k5673 [00:17] star314: i get the impression that this bug is because 'safely remove drive' is trying to do something twice, and is trying to sync and unmount a partition already synced and unmounted. If you look at the output of "mount" you will see that everything is unmounted. It is a confusing message, but i don't think it amounts to more than an nuisance. [00:18] Typos_King: http://paste2.org/p/895102 <<< Which partition should I mount and install to? [00:18] naturegodtm: /msg alis help list [00:18] WXZ:Thats the way! [00:18] That's [00:18] yay? [00:18] Joran: ah. Well, all I have are Capture 1 and Capture 2, which I assume is a Line-In input :( Thanks anyway [00:18] masteroffire: yeah, but OS's such as Ubuntu are better really for people who don't really know about computer security [00:18] Hardekyn1: refer to the 1st line in paste :) [00:18] Hardekyn1: it's probably /dev/sda5 [00:18] masteroffire: than Windows is [00:18] Flannel: i love this channel and friend [00:18] star314: are you double-clicking the eject icon? [00:18] thune3: Oh, now I found what's the difference: Safely remove turns off the power to the USB device unmount doesn't! [00:18] ohh is another paste.. one sec [00:18] Flannel: here is really Global Village [00:18] Joran: No, right click and choose "Safely remove device" [00:19] Uboy: by the way there is #ubuntu-offtopic [00:19] Hardekyn1: we have the advantage here in that the wrong partition simply won't work [00:19] Uboy: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for chit-chat, but welcome! [00:19] Cynthia: yeah, probably the drivers don't support it [00:19] Hardekyn1: yeah, as un214 suggested, sda5 [00:19] un214: which you can go to to chat in, whilst waiting for your install to be done [00:19] hmm that didnt help [00:19] can someoen tell me how to switch my buttons from the left side back to the right? [00:19] thnz [00:19] Joran: It seems it does more than just umount. It should power the USB drive down. [00:19] Uboy: see above [00:19] sebsebse 7Flannel ok guys, sorry [00:19] Joran: According to some info I collected by means of google. [00:19] naturegodtm: /msg alis list #*someterm* will return all the channels that have "someterm" in their names [00:19] Very interesting. [00:19] hi! is there a way to put the middle click (= insert from clipboard) on a keyboard key? [00:20] sebsebseb, I know... at work I'm a system administrator and programmer ... and I have to work with W*ndows... at home I still have XP installed in parallel but ... I never bootet it because I don't miss it at all [00:20] sebsebseb: Ok sorry [00:20] Flannel: ok, sorry [00:20] star314: sometimes nautilus can be over eager and because you're almost selecting the location and attempts to remount it, I've seen that before [00:20] tipos elinas? [00:20] Uboy: or uhmm watch the installer for 10.04, gives you an idea what it can do [00:20] !virutalbox [00:20] thnx man i ll try that out [00:20] Peni_: keybindings are usually app-settings specific, with a few global exceptions, usually overriden by the apps, sooo, if the app allows it, sure, else no [00:20] !virtualbox [00:20] I wanna to install and active and use my fingerprint sensor for Dell Vostro 1520 NoteBook, but i can't find the driver and software can anyone help me?

A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:20] hi [00:21] star314: is this from the desktop icon or nautilus (sorry, I know I've jumped in mid-report, I shouldn't do that lol) [00:21] masteroffire: lets continue a bit in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:21] im looking for a gui for an ftp server [00:21] Joran: Desktop icon [00:21] Uboy: come join #ubuntu-offtopici f you want, your install will be a bit longer yet I guess [00:21] pw-toxic:webmin, from the "partner" repo [00:21] I saw the article about rootless X server and it sounds like a bad idea to me [00:21] hmmm how would I map network drives in ubuntu [00:21] Typos_King: http://paste2.org/p/895107 <<< Is that to be expected with my set-up? Basically am I okay to continue? That was from the grub-update command [00:21] /proc/mtrr is needed for some drivers and is way too dangerous to expose [00:21] Joran: If I double-click the eject icon on nautilus's sidebar I'm getting: DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending [00:21] pw-toxic_: I'm guessing webmin maybe? [00:22] !network drive [00:22] Webmin rulz! [00:22] star314: then it's probably the bug you mentioned and an errant message rather than the one I've experience with. [00:22] sebsebseb: ok, but i'm now want this> I wanna to install and active and use my fingerprint sensor for Dell Vostro 1520 NoteBook, but i can't find the driver and software can u help me? [00:22] Joran: But the unmount will performed. [00:22] Uboy: ok thats the next thing [00:22] /msg alis list #*someterm* [00:22] Hardekyn1: you probably missed binding /dev or /proc or /sys [00:22] Typos_King, what is the difference to ebox? [00:22] Uboy: and you need to make sure your doing it correctly, or your install will probably mess up again [00:22] Typos_King: what about gnome-terminal - there i would like to use middle klick via the stupid "windows" key for middle click [00:22] ? [00:23] I'll try again un214 [00:23] star314: yeah, that's 'cos you should single click the eject icon - double-click is one of the causes of the problem I've seen lol [00:23] Uboy: you will also need someone else to help with this really, probably [00:23] Hardekyn1: yes, don't forget -> sudo grub-install /dev/sda; :) that sticks it back up the MBR === dejan is now known as Guest54419 [00:23] after ssh connecting to someone elses box, say you want to take them with you to a ftp server, and edit some files, what commmand is that? [00:23] pw-toxic_: webmin is older :), ebox newer afaik :) [00:23] typos_king: elinas? [00:23] Joran: Ah, ok :) [00:23] hmmm how would I map network drives in ubuntu like in windows? [00:23] sebsebseb: is this channel for finding that person help me to activate FingerPrint sensor? === Finis is now known as Ego_Proctor [00:23] sebsebseb: in ubuntu [00:23] pw-toxic:webmin is more tested [00:24] Typos_King, looks like that webmin supports changes to the configuration outside webmin, while ebox doesnt [00:24] And works [00:24] sebsebseb: or for hardwares we have another channel? [00:24] Typos_King: Not exactly. Webmin is still updated. [00:24] hello everyone, is there anybody who can advice me a dictionary like babylon;? [00:24] Peni_: doable I'd think, I use Mrxvt for my terminal sessions, far lighter :), and very configurable, and yes, it allows keybindings, haven't checked much on the mouse settings though :), still app-settings specific [00:24] exit [00:24] pw-toxic:i administer bind9, bacula, proftpd, nfs server, and more from webmin [00:24] Webmin is actually 1 part of an entire system.

What's wrong? [00:24] pw-toxic_: ahh there then, as Psi-Jack said, maybe Ebox then :) [00:25] Typos_King: thank's a lot, i'll give it a try! [00:25] Typos_King, i remember that there is a serious problem with ubuntu and webmin.. [00:25] Uboy: there is a hardware channel, but [00:25] Typos_King: Bleh. I hate eBox. [00:25] Uboy: you need to make sure to be doing the right thing for Ubuntu [00:25] Uboy: and people in there, might not be able to help with that [00:25] I have not tested ebox [00:25] I am trying to play flash games online, and they keep freezing. It seems that if I scroll up and down in the window the games will continue to load, otherwise they freeze... is there a way to fix this? [00:25] pw-toxic_: heheh, last I used it was in SuSE10 :), it ran well [00:25] Now I'm getting errors all over the place telling me that it's unable to resolve host ubuntu [00:26] pw-toxic:you can give a try to ispconfig... [00:26] Bleh. [00:26] sebsebseb: so where and what I can find right things? [00:26] ISPconfig is... Bleh. [00:26] Hardekyn1: but but but!, grub is loading :), the errors are just .. well, your installation issue [00:26] Joran: ok, eject and umount work as they should be. "Safely remove device" brings up that error. Now I'm pretty sure that's a bug. Perhaps this bug is related to a compatibility issue with some usb drives. [00:26] Maybe so Typos_King, but how do I fix it? [00:26] I saw Ubuntu magazine at Borders today. Pretty cool [00:26] Uboy: you will need to tell people here, or in a channel for your language, or on a forum, about the exact hardware you have [00:26] Uboy: more details the better [00:27] star314: yeah, quite possibly. [00:27] sebsebseb: ok [00:27] !forums | Uboy [00:27] Uboy: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [00:27] Whatz the drama with Uboy? [00:27] Hardekyn1: we don't know what you have and when, sounds like is just some boot service is the one erring, and could be anything, a paste of the error lines will help us :), along to when it happens [00:27] Uboy: maybe someone has similar hardware and there already is a solution ^ [00:28] sebsebseb: ok guy [00:28] Uboy: yeah your not asking the question properly yet, but this explains what I mean [00:28] !purge empathy [00:28] !details | Uboy [00:28] Uboy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:28] Joran: As according to the manpages, "safely remove drive" should power down the drive too. I guess that error appears if such a trigger is not supported by the drive itself or the USB chip. [00:28] !purge [00:28] I came in here and was advised to boot into the livecd to gPart my ubuntu partition to resize it to fit the whole disk and now it won't load the grub bootloader when I restart the laptop, I don't have any chance to get error lines I'm afraid, I get stuck on the flashing white cursor Typos_King [00:28] * Typos_King hands dominicdinada the kaopectate bottle [00:28] star314: and it's quite possible that the hardware reports that it's possible but it actually isn't. === daniil is now known as dkulchenko [00:28] Joran: Anyway, crap ;) [00:28] Typos_King: ? lol [00:28] I am only able to use the laptop off a liveCD at the moment [00:29] Joran: Thanks for your time and the help. [00:29] Hardekyn: Install? Dualboot ? [00:29] hi, i'm italian and i need help for a thing [00:29] Joran: With crap I mean of course the bug and not your posts :) [00:29] !purge [00:29] Just spit it out, fede! [00:29] dominicdinada: I had a dual boot, then decided to get rid of windows [00:29] huh what that doesn't reply [00:29] star314: no problem, it is always worth trying to help others whilst waiting for someone to be inspired on mine :-) [00:30] ick the virtualbox servers are ungodly slow like 58 mins to dl 8mb [00:30] Joran: thanks [00:30] deleted the partition, everything still worked [00:30] Typos_King, im still not sure what to do.. do you know a simple graphical tool to manage an ftp server with a basic window in ubuntu? webmin seems quite "big" you know? [00:30] many dependencies.. apache.. port 10000.. [00:30] it could destroy a lot of the things i have set up [00:30] brb dinner [00:30] resized the partition using gParted off the live CD [00:30] Now laptop doesn't boot at all [00:30] well, grub/ubuntu don't anyway [00:30] http://pastebin.com/8KdfnqVZ << any clue on svn? [00:30] i want to set the permissions [00:30] help [00:30] i have tried to install my hdmi audio device on 10.04 but i have deleted all the devices [00:30] I still get the HP Inspire logo showing up [00:31] Hello [00:31] Hardekyn1: maybe need to re install Grub 2 or something [00:31] hi Blayzin [00:31] Hardekyn1: your on 10.04 yeah? [00:31] pw-toxic_: ahh there then, as Psi-Jack said, maybe Ebox then :) [00:31] before nothing work [00:31] yep sebsebseb and that's what I'm trying to do I just have no idea how to from the liveCD [00:31] Typos_King, ebox is even much bigger than webmin [00:31] Typos_King, tried it today [00:31] I DID NOT SAY EBOX! [00:31] in 10.04, how do i get serial mouse to work?? [00:32] sebsebseb: Typos_King gave me http://paste2.org/p/895100 but it generated an error when I ran it initually, now it's telling me it can't find host ubuntu [00:32] hehe [00:32] ps-toxic:webmin iiiisss theee waaay, Luke! [00:32] Hardekyn1: I don't mess around with Grub 2 much yet [00:32] Hardekyn1: well I didn't that much wtih the old Grub either [00:32] Typos_King: Stop saying I said something I didn't. [00:32] lol [00:32] !grub2 | Hardekyn1 [00:32] Hardekyn1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:32] !webmin [00:32] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [00:33] this whole thing makes me wish that I'd never bothered with ubuntu [00:33] Hardekyn1: ok I understand, but [00:33] And that thing about webmin is inaccurate. heh [00:33] Hardekyn1: maybe just get hold of data and re install? [00:33] sebsebseb: I can't follow those instructions because I don't know how to make terminal sign me in as root in my installed ubuntu, just on the livecd [00:33] Hardekyn1: maybe even set up a seperate /home whilst your at it, like I just did with Uboy makes future re installs or distro hopping much easier [00:33] So, why webmin is in the repos? [00:34] I've been experiencing frequent kernel panics with Lucid. What do I do? [00:34] Does anyone know a game for ubuntu like jewelquest? open source [00:34] k5673: It's not. [00:34] Hardekyn1: it's sudo in both [00:34] Hardekyn1: ah yes chroot or whatever it is, well there are others that can help with your issue [00:34] It IS [00:34] Hardekyn1: righ... I know what happened... just can't recall the solution offhand, when you repartitioned, it changed partitions UUID, which is what Grub and fstab and I think even mtab uses for addressing storage, and there are cases when the partitioning goes well, but the UUID doesn't get updated, and thus the mismatch [00:34] Cynthia: no he means, to acccess his Ubuntu install from the Live CD, to re install Grub 2 [00:34] flannel: root@blitz:/home/user# apt-cache search webmin [00:34] webmin - A web-based administration interface for Unix systems. [00:34] I've seen this once [00:34] Ah [00:34] k5673: Not in 10.04's repos. But Webmin's developers are going to continue to maintain it for 10.04 LTS === defn_ is now known as defn [00:34] sebsebseb: > 89% [00:34] I had to replace every reference in /etc/fstab to refer to device node then it worked [00:34] So I need to find out how to change the UUID Typos_King? [00:35] k5673: there are no supported versions of Ubuntu that have webmin in them. [00:35] Hardekyn1: probably easier to jus re install to be honest [00:35] Who knows how to configure Wine? [00:35] k5673: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [00:35] Hardekyn1: altough removing Windows shoudn't just mess up Grub 2 I think [00:35] soadkombucha: depends on app and so on [00:35] soadkombucha: #winehq can help I guess [00:35] Anyone have experience with Tranmission, specifically the web interface [00:35] ? [00:35] sebsebseb: Alright. [00:35] flannel: root@blitz:/home/user# cat /proc/version_signature [00:35] Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 [00:35] sebsebseb: removing windows doesn't, but partitioning will change the partitions uuid [00:35] If I reinstall the entire thing and start all over again, how do I save my installed configurations and restore them? [00:35] Hardekyn1, try not to get too frustrated with the learning process. Using Ubuntu is a great way to learn how computers actually work, I mean, if you're interested [00:36] Hardekyn1: I think Typos_King might be able to help you [00:36] k5673: lsb_release -r [00:36] flannel:root@blitz:/home/user# lsb_release -r [00:36] Release: 10.04 [00:36] lleah!! [00:36] how do i get counter strike source to run on ubuntu? [00:36] flannel:thx for the command! [00:36] Typos_King: yeah I guess Hardekyn1 just needs to edit the file for Grub 2, so Ubuntu boots up again [00:36] Hardekyn1, what do you mean by "installed configurations"? [00:36] !appdb > linux_is_my_hero [00:36] linux_is_my_hero, please see my private message [00:36] k5673: Alright, please pastebin this output: `apt-cache policy webmin` (don't paste it in the channel, use paste.ubuntu.com) [00:36] linux_is_my_hero:use wine! [00:36] I can't help it seidos mate, I've tried ubuntu numerous times previously, could never get wireless to work, finally 10.4 works flawlessly, I decide to get rid of windows and it all kicks off again [00:37] k5673: have u tried it yourself? [00:37] flannel:root@blitz:/home/user# apt-cache policy webmin [00:37] webmin: [00:37] Installed: (none) [00:37] Candidate: 1.510-2 [00:37] Version table: [00:37] 1.510-2 0 [00:37] 500 http://download.webmin.com/download/repository/ sarge/contrib Packages [00:37] k5673: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:37] seidos: by installed configurations I mean all my fonts and the settings for browsers, software, appearance and so on, took me ages to get it working how I liked, I don't fancy doing all that again if I can avoid it [00:37] k5673: that is not an ubuntu repo [00:38] k5673: You're using a third party repository, not an Ubuntu one. Also, again, please don't paste here. [00:38] I realise i'd have to reinstall the apps [00:38] !home | Hardekyn1 [00:38] Hardekyn1: 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 [00:38] k5673: That's webmin's own repository, which as I said earlier, THEY maintain their software for Debian/Ubuntu themselves. [00:38] but I'd like to keep the configurations of them [00:38] Hardekyn1: never set up a seperate /home after install, but its not that difficult as far as I know, I would do them before install [00:38] how do i do a dual boot of windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04? [00:38] Flannel:but i use webmin with Bacula, bind9, proftpd, nfs server, samba. [00:38] k5673: Yeah. It works great. ;) [00:38] !dual | psuasti_ [00:38] flannel: and it workz! [00:38] Hardekyn1: home is the data, but also program user data [00:38] Hardekyn1: offhand, I'd say, you'd need to make sure grub.cfg, mtab and fstab have matching proper UUID for the storage devices they're loading, you can find out which is what by -> sudo blkid; [00:38] !dualboot | psuasti_ [00:38] psuasti_: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:38] k5673: that's fine, but it's not supported here. [00:39] Flannel:...but works. [00:39] Hardekyn1, I'm sure there are files that save the configurations for each of your apps. I don't know where any of them are for the apps I use. Everytime I've reinstalled I've reconfigured my apps from scratch. [00:39] k5673: Again, that's fine for you, but just because something "works" for you doesn't mean you should recommend it to others. [00:39] Typos_King: http://paste2.org/p/895132 was the output [00:40] seidos: probably ~/.gconf, ~/.APP_NAME [00:40] Hardekyn1: then those are your 2 uuids to check against :) [00:40] seidos: (+) They're hidden by default, use 'ls -la' or Ctrl+H in Nautilus to show them [00:40] Where and how do I check? [00:41] Flannel:Was just a suggestion, based in what i know works now [00:41] sebsebseb: How do I use dd if=/media/CD_ROM of="directory" [00:42] Cynthia, yeah I tried ~/.firefox, but the directory didn't exist. but .gconf should help. [00:42] seidos: .mozilla [00:42] sebsebseb: Or would it be easier to just copy the files? [00:42] seidos: I understand mate, that's what I'm really trying to avoid though [00:42] Question for yous all. Had a drive fail. It's currently mounted in a new Ubuntu installation under /oldpc. Because it's fully intact, grub2 grabs it and gives me the option of booting to it because it finds all of the kernels installed on it. What files do I need to move/delete on that drive to prevent grub2 from finding it and giving it to me as a boot option? [00:42] seidos: if your'e looking for ff's folder, ~/.mozilla [00:43] Typos_King, thanks [00:44] Hardekyn1, not sure if you caught that, but ~/.gconf and ~/.mozilla might have the configuration files you're looking for [00:45] any one needs help? [00:45] Hi guys...I have ubuntu server set up (fresh install) and I need to find out the host name (192.168.1.?) How do I do that? [00:45] hi what is the best for MPD OSS or alsa or another ? [00:46] Hardekyn1: well, if you boot with a live-cd :), you can edit those files after you mount the partition, I think a solution around it is also, skipping the UUID altogether and instead using the device path and name, so say if your fstab file say -> UUID=f3cc4b21-f9c8-4cbe-bf33-4b4ae726d625 for sda1, replace the whole string with /dev/sda1 [00:46] hypnus9: ifconfig -a [00:46] Thanks [00:46] Which files though Typos_King? [00:46] Hardekyn1: but I think the reconciling has to be done for /boot/grub/grub.cfg as well as /etc/fstab, I just checked my mtab, it doesn't use any [00:47] who can help me with MPD ? [00:47] right I'll see what those two files say [00:47] know anything about boot loaders? trying to mess with how to boot ubuntu on a GUID partition without using a bootloader on an MBR. just the first sector and refit.

[00:50] thx very much [00:50] That has the right one too [00:50] Okay...I'm gonna try rebooting, if it doesn't come back I'll reinstall windows and try linux via virtualisation, at least that way I won't have to continuously start from scratch [00:51] Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it....fingers crossed it all works :) [00:51] after not sleeping night i have hooked up to machines via wifi, they are pinging each other, how do i enable wan sharing of this laptop now [00:51] <^xellos^> sebsebseb,: objects (i.e. buttons) in flash not responding [00:51] can ubuntu boot purely on efi with gpt?

[01:16] Pirate_Hunter ...I can't open the folders in the home directory on my harddrive to back them up, how do I switch to user 1000 on the HDD from terminal in the livecd?

[01:18] I need to be root or lanh @HDD install [01:18] phenom: That won't help with your problem. [01:18] Lanh tried sudo su [01:19] Jordan_U, How would I get grub 2 experimental? [01:19] goose, I suppose ircd devs can make a plugin for filtering or whatever [01:19] Still don't have permission to view the folders Black_Phantom [01:19] Jordan_U, Out of curiosity, what is my problem? [01:19] It boot from the disk you provided, but no the native grub 2 install [01:19] Lanh your using cd ? [01:19] yep [01:19] Lanh in the terminal, your using 'cd' or exploring graphically [01:19] Does it appear to be a grub2 problem? [01:20] pepee: they won't. they won't even fix the issue where you can repeatedly voice or devoice users who are already voiced, or already have no voice. better option is to just use a good ircd ;) [01:20] phenom: Your problem (at least of of them) is that you don't have a windows partition boot record on your windows partition. [01:20] both Black_Phantom neither are working [01:20] Hi all [01:20] Lanh how about sudo su, then type nautilus [01:20] Lanh, I would start with checking permissions on the folders, sudo ls -l this should tell you who owns the folders and whether they are accessible i.e. you can execute it [01:20] cls [01:20] oops [01:21] I am trying to get compiz fusion to work [01:21] Jordan_U, Well any additional advice would be appreciated. Do you think restoring the windows partition to factory, will resolve the problem? [01:21] Lanh, have you tried accessing your install through recovery? [01:21] or at least to install it, and I can't find it in the ubuntu software center [01:21] !compiz [01:21] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [01:21] phenom: Yes, it will. [01:21] Jordan_U, Thing is,, the windows restore partition will not boot without your disk either [01:21] That worked pirate_hunter, the nautilus [01:21] So how did that happen on all but linux partitions :/ [01:22] How do I access it through recovery? [01:22] !google [01:22] 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. [01:22] when I run compiz --replace I get too many "This is an application error" === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [01:22] I think someone should change that !google message [01:22] Lanh, wrong person I am trying to figure out why you cant open folders in home assuming its your home [01:22] Uhhhh how do I run a Virtualbox Image Via Network ? [01:22] OK why is exaile disapperaaring on minimize [01:22] then it just hangs [01:22] google may be a solution, the only problem is thT people may find old tutorials [01:22] Oh, I'm into them now Pirate_Hunter. Thank you :) [01:23] I think I may have to start from scratch,, thing is, i'm not convinced the restore partition will restore windows boot loader etc [01:23] I may be stuck with grub 2 [01:23] I think the problem is that I don't have an MBR, if I could fix that I think I might actually avoid having to reinstall the whole thing [01:23] and compiz icon isn't working at all, its just here [01:23] *there [01:23] Lanh: Windows or Ubuntu? [01:23] pepee: read it again, it tells you to NOT tell people to google it.

[01:23] Lanh, ever tried using testdisk? it's awesome! helped me out like twice [01:24] Lanh, again the credit goes to Black_Phantom and if your backing up home you shouldn't need to use sudo specially su with nautilus, however, if you're happy problem solved [01:24] I don't know how to use testdisk ruffleS [01:24] Anybody here familiar with Squid proxy? [01:25] It's allowed me to grab my media Pirate_Hunter but not my application settings [01:25] Alan502 I use Tor [01:25] Lanh, just boot from a livecd, get testdisk installed using this command: sudo apt-get install testdisk / then u can run it and try to recover ur partition. just follow the instructions [01:25] Lanh what do you want to grab exactly ? [01:25] Black_Phantom: good :) it's just that i can't configure squid to allow connections that are not web, for example IRC [01:26] IdleOne, yep, I know, but we can help people telling them how to use it [01:26] ruffleS, they didn't mention partition problem they are having problems with /home unless I missed something [01:26] Pirate_Hunter, oh.. i see [01:26] Lanh, nevermind the testdisk thing then [01:26] pepee: this is Ubuntu support. Not google support. We help people with Ubuntu issues and we use google when we ( helpers) need to use it. [01:27] Everything in the home directory Pirate_Hunter, it's working now [01:27] Alan502 I barely made it to work on web lol never used Tor on IRC, sorry ! [01:27] ruffleS: could that restore the MBR? [01:27] Lanh, possibly yes [01:28] Lanh, im happy for you but credit goes to Black_Phantom they helped you *sigh* [01:28] I'll give it a go when the backup is complete [01:28] :) [01:28] Oh balls sorry Pirate_Hunter and Black_Phantom , it's just a really bad day, lol [01:28] its ok [01:28] Lanh, it's helped me twice when i was almost banging my head against the keyboard [01:29] I feel like that right now ruffleS make [01:30] mate* [01:30] Uhhhh how do I run a Virtualbox Image Via Network ?

Slight issue. My laptop was stolen the other day, and I have here a temporary laptop that I'm going to be using until I can get a replacement, and I'm wanting to put ubuntu on it. It had XP on it. So I burned an ubuntu CD, and apparently the image was corrupt or something, so when it tried to install, it had already erased everything on the drive. There is no other computer with a CD/DVD burner, and this system doesn't boot from USB [01:38] Lanh, u gotta enable universe and multiverse repositories so u can have testdisk installed. [01:39] Lanh, go to system / administration / software sources [01:39] Uboy: I probably can't be of much help to get your hardware working [01:39] sha1sum, you can try from USB? See below [01:39] !usb | sha1sum [01:39] sha1sum: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:39] Uboy: so tell people here what you want to do, and more details the better [01:39] where can i find dropbox support?

[01:41] anybody ever got teh dropboxes? [01:41] Uboy: finger print hardware? what is it exactly [01:41] Lanh, so? can u get it installed now? [01:42] Nope...one sec [01:42] Anyone know of anything like zscreen for ubuntu?

If I'm running from the LiveCD, I can remove the CD temporarily if I need to burn one right? [01:43] Alan502: I can help you with squid. [01:43] What do you want to know? [01:43] So how do I stop it being unable to access the lock file so I can run apt-get update? [01:44] I tried just going into the folder and deleting it, but of course that would be too simple [01:44] hi [01:44] Does Any body activate fingerprint sensor on ubuntu hear? [01:44] Lanh, u have enabled the multiverse and universe repositories right? when u clicked close button it asked you to refresh the software sources right? [01:44] Okay I guess I'll just have to figure this out myself. [01:45] Even though i have given myself passwordless sudo access some GUI applications such as Ubuntu-tweak still ask for password when doing something that needs root permissions. [01:45] No it crashed after updating them ruffles [01:45] k5673: excellent :) my problem is that i can only connect to the proxy with web apps, like firefox. When i try to connect with xchat, for example, it says "HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden Proxy traversal failed" [01:45] well after downloading the files anyway [01:45] Lanh, try updating this bugger again [01:45] Can someone tell me of a few good free online books on ubuntu servers? [01:45] Alan502: You want to proxy the IRC connections? [01:45] Uboy: configuring hardware in Ubuntu is a bit difficult [01:45] Does Any body activate fingerprint sensor on ubuntu?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 server edition on a new box. It has no network yet (don't ask). The one thing that's blocking me right now is installing mdadm on this box. I know it's on the install CD somewhere, but uncommenting the cdrom source in /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't help; it tried to install, but says it can't find files. Ideas? [01:51] Alan502: i know this, and tis is reason to install version 256, so how u installed that? [01:52] Uboy: Alan502 If you install the driver directly from Nivida, you are likely to experience problems! [01:52] can I make the start menu icon bigger?. [01:52] since I want to use a custom icon [01:52] Lanh, grub needs to be installed on /dev/sda2 ! [01:52] Uboy: i didn't, i was trying to but i couldn't [01:52] wad: #ubuntu-server [01:52] simple enough just put it in my shared files folder lol [01:52] sebsebseb: as long as my email address wont get spamed now [01:52] sebsebseb, ah, thanks! [01:52] Alan502: ouhhh [01:52] wad: np [01:52] sebsebseb: so helu me and alan502 :d [01:52] sebsebseb: i didn't experience much problems with 9.10, i can't not even install the driver with 10.4 though [01:52] Can someone tell me of a few good free online books on ubuntu servers? [01:53] sebsebseb: yes help us! [01:53] How do I do that from the livecd ruffleS? [01:53] sebsebseb: helu=help [01:53] gene234: only Freenode staff have access to your Freenode account details [01:53] Lang_Shadow: ubuntu server isn't much different from other linux server distros [01:53] gene234: well email address as far as I know, and password no [01:53] Lanh, sudo chroot /dev/sda2 /mnt [01:53] Lanh, does the command above work?! [01:54] gene234: you can ask in #freenode if your wondering about stuff like that [01:54] chroot: cannot change root directory to /dev/sda2: Not a directory [01:54] sebsebseb: r u install the driver in your os? [01:54] okay, that doesn't help me any :( [01:54] Uboy: I have nivida, but I would only get from the Ubuntu repo :) if I am to do propritary driver [01:54] Lanh, ok now.. try this: sudo chroot /dev/sda5 /mnt [01:55] Lang_Shadow: Official Ubuntu Server Book, Rough Cuts, The, 2nd Edition try that [01:55] Uboy: also I use another distro on here now, but same thing for this one. and the other computer has Nividia as well with Ubuntu and yep only from repo [01:55] please, what is the command regarding the rc-update show? I see services that are being loaded, to disable and enable wicd network-manager [01:55] ruffleS: same response [01:55] sebsebseb: so the driver is nedded? [01:55] I said free [01:55] Uboy: for 3D Open GL games and Compiz, thats about it [01:55] I'm not spending no $50 for a book [01:55] sebsebseb: Did you hear for future reference that it just needs to be shared to be able to access and run it ? [01:55] Lang_Shadow: free as in beer? [01:55] Uboy: so most Ubuntu users that have a card that needs a propritary driver, don't actsually need one [01:56] Lang_Shadow: try torrent or filetype: pdf [01:56] Lang_Shadow: or another book [01:56] sebsebseb: so if i want to last version, what can I do? [01:56] dominicdinada: nope, but now I just saw in #vbox [01:56] Guest19718, pirating is not allowed in here [01:56] Uboy: you can try and install directly from the Nivida site, but there is a good chance that your xorg will mess up [01:56] Lanh, hold on a minute.. i'm getting the right command [01:56] sebsebseb: where can I download the lastest Nvidia Driver, the installation of repo just install versian 197 [01:56] k ruffleS [01:57] Uboy: there are three in repo or something like that [01:57] Lang_Shadow: just a recommendation n00b [01:57] !nivida | Uboy [01:57] !nividia | Uboy [01:57] !nvidia | Uboy [01:57] Uboy: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:57] whats is the best graphic card to get thats supports linux?.

I guess I'm not phrasing this right, or nobody in here knows. I have a USB Flash Drive with the .iso file for 10.04 on it. The laptop I want to install to DOES NOT boot from USB. I have a LiveCD for 10.04 that will boot, but will not install because some areas of the disc are corrupt. I'm using the LiveCD now. I can open a terminal, install things via apt, etc. This is the ONLY COMPUTER with a CD/DVD burner on it that I can burn ano [01:59] Just sda ruffleS or sda2/5/6? [02:00] gene234, I'm using ubuntu server not debian [02:00] Lang_Shadow: there all completly free [02:00] Lang_Shadow, the last part? just sda. i'm following a guide from ubuntu forum [02:00] Lanh, the last part? just sda. i'm following a guide from ubuntu forum [02:00] Lang_Shadow, sorry [02:00] sha1sum: Your message was cut off at "I can burn ano" [02:01] Lang_Shadow: there are a lot of simalarities between both! [02:01] Jordan_U: you know hardware quite well yeah? [02:01] the server guide on ubuntu.com is not nearly complete [02:01] Jordan_U: configuring stuff to get it working in Ubuntu? [02:01] burn another LiveCD from. Is there some small, command-line utility that I can use to burn an ISO INSIDE OF the "Try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" LiveCD? Is this possible? [02:01] it left out alot [02:01] sha1sum, you can try burning another copy using brasero on your livecd (pretty sure it's on there) [02:01] sebsebseb: Thanks for everything [02:01] Jordan_U: ^------- [02:01] Uboy: Jordan_U might be able to help you [02:01] ruffleS: run, didn't give any output, returned back to command prompt [02:02] SlidingHorn: thanks I'm trying that now. Hopefully that's not one of the corrupt areas on the disc. [02:02] Lanh, now try: ls /mnt [02:02] sebsebseb: if I get spamed I hold you responsible [02:02] can u see anything? [02:02] how do i prevent apache from starting every time the system boots? [02:02] Lang_Shadow https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/serverguide.pdf [02:02] gene234: that was a joke I assume :D anyway not my fault, you joined the network and gave network staff your email address, well I think they can see it [02:02] ruffles yes, loads, you want me to pastebin? [02:03] Lanh, sure thing boss [02:03] gene234: and I didn't tell you to join, so yep not my fault :) [02:03] sebsebseb: Thanks for every things and I hope U locky [02:03] ruffleS: http://pastebin.ca/1890823 [02:03] lucky [02:03] I said I've already tried the ubuntu server guide. it only covers a tiny amount of the OS. [02:03] Uboy: right, but for your hardware, your going to need some proper help [02:04] glick, the thread's a little old, but I think it might still be valid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550454 [02:04] Lanh, good! nwo just to make sure this thing's gonna work lets chroot into it: sudo chroot /mnt [02:04] Uboy: and to provide proper details, about the hardware you have, and what your trying to do. so yeah maybe here if you find the right person, and you can try Ubuntu forums [02:04] Uboy: The driver that System > Administration > Hardware Driver installs should work fine unless you have a specific reason to believe that you need a newer version. [02:04] glick: is there an apache.conf in /etc/init/ ? [02:04] SlidingHorn: okay so what do I do if the USB drive with the .iso image on it is not autodetected when I insert it? [02:04] Jordan_U: there is the nivida driver yes, but he also has [02:04] Jordan_U: hardware he wants to configure and have working in Ubuntu [02:04] sebsebseb: ok, i search it in forums [02:04] ruffleS: Done, I am now root@ubuntu [02:04] sebsebseb: joining a open room usually does not require an email address unless your company is harvesting them [02:04] Lanh, now: sudo grub-install [02:05] gene234: uhmm join #freenode and ask why they need an email address, in fact I can tell you right now [02:05] sha1sum: How much RAM do you have? [02:05] gene234: heres the reason they want your email address or one of them [02:05] Jordan_U: when I use it for Install 1.it installs version 197 not 256 2.the boot up screen resulation comes down to lowest [02:05] sha1sum, post the output of the following command to http://paste.ubuntu.com -- lsusb [02:05] gene234: if you forgot your password for the account, they can email you the thing so you can re set it [02:05] ruffleS: http://pastebin.ca/1890824 [02:06] Jordan_U: Mem: 2013 750 1263 0 103 441 [02:06] Jordan_U: that's in megs [02:06] Uboy: Both are normal. The boot screen resolution being low is because the proprietary nvidia driver doesnsupport Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) [02:06] Lanh, sudo grub-install /dev/sda2 [02:06] sebsebseb: reset my password ??? [02:06] Uboy: tell Jordan_U about the hardware you want working in Ubuntu as well [02:06] Lanh: ruffleS: You shouldn't install grub to a partitoin [02:07] sebsebseb: ok [02:07] so does anyone know of any??? [02:07] SlidingHorn: Firefox is one of the corrupt areas of the disc, so I can't get to the web to paste it.

I'm downloading "http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.1.53.64.orig.tar.gz", but where should I put it so that it can be installed w/o internet?...

[02:20] sebsebseb, where do I config it to show me a list of kernels to boot.. Im not seeing menu.lst to edit???? [02:20] flypiper: yes no menu.lst with Grub 2 [02:20] flypiper: its another file instead [02:21] flypiper: also when the computer boots up if the boot loader doesn't just show try hitting esc [02:21] flypiper: Hold shift to see the grub menu at boot.

[02:23] Gaming4JC: adobe-flashplugin_10.1.53.64.orig.tar.gz sounds like a source file [02:24] swiss_chris: no thought the bot had something in regards to what u were asking. I am working on something myself now [02:24] gene234: Yeah I think it is. I'm not sure why the deb is triggering a custom compilation for it. [02:24] For example the server is Server A. PC 1 can connect to Server A while PC2 can't connect to Server A [02:24] Lang_Shadow: are they all on the same IP subnet? [02:24] Uboy: oh scanner [02:24] Uboy: a scanner!

[02:25] o.k. no problem, dominicdinada. Is there anyone else out there who could help me figure out how to get a corrupted /boot folder to load the normal modules again? I have no mouse, no network, in fact basically an empty list when I run lsmod under my karmic installation... [02:25] Uboy: why do you want to? anyway as I told you before I can't really help much, so good luck finding someone :) [02:25] Lang_Shadow: the computers are not on the same subnet?

[02:27] Jordan_U: E: Invalid operation instlal [02:27] gene234 & sweetpi: The deb is 1386, I'm running amd64... :P [02:27] Uboy: yes he did a typo [02:27] real helpful [02:27] Uboy: sudo apt-get install [02:27] Uboy: Sorry, "sudo apt-get install libfprint0" [02:28] Gaming4JC: the you need the beta file, which they just took down a few days ago [02:28] sweetpi: Bummer, and where in the world was that located? :P [02:29] swiss_chris, I know it's usually not recommended to point someone to reinstall, but that's all I *personally* would know that would fix it...maybe someone smarter than myself will come along though :) [02:29] hey does anyone know how to make so that when I logon to my computer then it automatically mounts all of my hard drives and not just my file system drive [02:29] !netinstall [02:29] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:29] Jordan_U: I insert that and now is downloading but I think i test this project for my sensor and it doesnt work and I saw the "no device found" in output of command [02:29] Gaming4JC: labs.adobe.com [02:30] sweetpi: Thanks, I'll look it over. But I still kinda wanted to use the nonfree installer in the main repos... :/ [02:30] Jordan_U: ok, finished, now? [02:30] Gaming4JC: ok dude try this one http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [02:30] ah i thought they killed it [02:30] SlikerT, this thread's a few years old, but should still be valid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566759 [02:30] lol [02:31] gene234: thats a pretty old version [02:31] alright thanks Slidinghorn I'll check it out [02:31] <_jesse_> hey everyone, my laptop occasionally shuts off randomly; I'm thinking it might be overheating and was wondering if there was a way I can monitor/prevent this [02:31] gene234: Hmm the one I have is adobe-flashplugin_10.1.53.64.orig.tar.gz [02:31] Jordan_U: the output of command> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/download.php?i=UwvfbY50 [02:31] !fingerprint [02:31] SlidingHorn: That's not really an option at the moment. If I understand correctly, I'm missing either an initrd.img-* or an initramfs-* file that will tell the kernel to load the right modules incl. drivers etc. but it seems under ubuntu mkinitrd doesn't exist and was replace with the somewhat different mkinitramfs... I'm a bit lost as I said. [02:32] Hey guys, I'm currently running 9.1, I just downloaded 10.04. I don't have a blank cd and was wondering how I could install the 10.04 [02:32] _jesse_: http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/06/monitor-temperature-from-ubuntu-linux-gnome-applet.html / http://www.bradtrupp.com/ubuntu-cpu-temperature.html [02:32] Gaming4JC: i bet you have the i386 version, afaik the last 64 version is 10.0.45 [02:32] Uboy: Please stop giving the download link for pastebins, I prefer to just read it in the browser. [02:32] StonedSlacker: you can stay on 9.10 untill the end of April next year no problem :) [02:32] <_jesse_> Gaming4JC: that'll work, thanks :) [02:32] StonedSlacker: can't you get 10.4 directly from within the Update Program in 9.10? [02:32] StonedSlacker: still supported. 9.10 is better in certain ways than 10.04, also you can just upgrade to 10.04 [02:32] sweetpi: Let me put it this way, when I have access to internet the Synaptic Package manager installs flash perfectly using that file :P [02:32] StonedSlacker: don't need the CD to upgrade [02:33] Jordan_U: ok dude sorry [02:33] <_jesse_> Gaming4JC: do you know of a way to have ubuntu throttle the cpu, etc. if the temperature gets too high? [02:33] Uboy: np [02:33] Is there still a network install CD? [02:33] It seems like the upgrades never go quite right. [02:33] Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UwvfbY50 [02:33] sebsebseb: What is better in your opinion? [02:34] sha1sum: Yes. Do you want to netboot or just download most packages from the internet? [02:34] StonedSlacker: depends on the user [02:34] StonedSlacker: you could always create a bootable USB "live-usb", e.g. with UNetBootin or similar. [02:34] StonedSlacker: ,but they are starting to mess around a lot with Ubuntu now, doing changes to Gnome that aren't upstream, and not that great [02:34] Jordan_U: so now what? [02:34] Jordan_U: actually is it easy to do the network boot? This laptop has network boot ability. [02:34] Gaming4JC: on a 64-bit os? and have you actually tested that flash works? you could always just copy the lib to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins then update alternatives [02:35] StonedSlacker: however I am hoping Gnome 3 will sort a lot of this out, when it gets used by default and probably in 11.04/11.10 [02:35] Jordan_U: I would be serving from a windows xp system [02:35] Well, I might just say screw it. Everything is working fine I really have no reason to change. [02:35] sha1sum: I don't know, I've never done it myself. [02:35] StonedSlacker: if you got enough RAM and such you could virtual machine try 10.04, and if you like what you see, you can upgrade already [02:35] Gaming4JC: thats a 64bit version [02:35] sebsebseb: I was just about to do that [02:35] StonedSlacker: or burn the ISo to CD boot computer from it [02:35] !install | sha1sum [02:35] sha1sum: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[02:36] sebsebseb: I dont have a bklank cd [02:36] hi, i've been working all day to get the audio recording working on my netbook with unr 9.10 installed - i've changed settings in alsamixer and installed the backport modules alsa-karmic-generic... anyone know something i can try? [02:36] StonedSlacker: ok virtual machine it is then :) [02:36] I do have 3 gigs of ram and virtualbox, though :^) [02:36] _jesse_: Here's a tutorial on controlling cooling fans, but it's a little old. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 [02:36] StonedSlacker: 3GB is more RAM than you need for a vm [02:36] anyway, back to my question - any ideas, anyone, of where I could get answers regarding missing modules during boot of my karmic installation? A different channel? Are there special channels for grub2 or tools like initramfs...? [02:36] Gaming4JC: only thing i can think of is installing it manually. flashplugin-nonfree is just a wrapper that downloads a tarball [02:37] StonedSlacker: 9.10 still supported with security updates untill end of April next year :) [02:37] swiss_chris, what happened that caused the modules to go missing in the first place (simply out of curiosity) [02:37] Gaming4JC: dont bother with the nonfree version! [02:37] * StonedSlacker goes and does some shit [02:37] sweetpi: Understood. I was wondering if I could find the directory it uses and (much like winetricks) trick the wrapper into doing the dirtywork for me :) [02:37] Uboy: You can test your finger print scanner with fprint-demo [02:37] gene234: swfdec and gnash won't run my games :P [02:37] boot partition with kernels and grub was wiped out :-) . Grub is working again, but have no mouse or network - or much anything else for that matter... :-) [02:38] StonedSlacker: uhmm language [02:38] Gaming4JC: not that i know of, i bet it would be harder than installing it manually(actually quite easy) [02:38] Gaming4JC: so use the real flash:P [02:38] !swear | StonedSlacker [02:38] swiss_chris: Chroot in from a LiveCD, re-install kernel packages. [02:38] xP [02:38] Gaming4JC: !language [02:38] ah ty :) [02:38] !language | StonedSlacker [02:38] StonedSlacker: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:38] Jordan_U: can you explain the 2nd part "re-install kernel packages"? [02:38] * StonedSlacker goes and does some feces [02:39] :) [02:39] !o4o > StonedSlacker [02:39] StonedSlacker, please see my private message [02:39] StonedSlacker: maybe not exactly the right factoid the bot just pm'd you, my point is though, certain things you shoudn't say in here [02:40] I'm not used to family chat, sorry [02:40] Just reporting back ruff|BRB and Jordan_U, the tutorial wiped my entire hard drive, so not the best, lol [02:40] StonedSlacker: family chat hehe! [02:40] wow... [02:41] swiss_chris: apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic [02:41] Lanh: I seriously doubt that it wiped your entire hard drive. [02:41] Seriously, it's gone [02:41] Jordan_U: this command needed a package named fprint-demo so i installed that package but now this command > http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/czbPYRRJ [02:41] Lanh: What makes you think that it did? [02:42] Jordan_U: cool - thanks. I guess I could have googled that. Do you know if that will also take care of choosing the right modules, ect? [02:42] The fact that now I only have one partition not 3, and that it's all unallocated [02:42] swiss_chris: Yes, it will. [02:42] Uboy: Run "fprint_demo" [02:43] I'm gonna re-install, if it doesn't let me re-import my settings from the backup, I'm going back to WinXP, lol [02:43] Jordan_U: great - am I right about mounting and --binding before chroot? mount my linux partition and bind things like dev and proc and sys before doingn the --reinstall? [02:43] hi, anyone know why my sshd won't stay dead? no matter how I kill it, it keeps getting restarted :( [02:43] swiss_chris: Yes [02:44] awesome - I really appreciate your help. Guess I'll have to log out for now and try it out. thanks again, [02:44] Lanh: Ultimate Edition? xP [02:44] Jordan_U: the last message was for you, of course.... [02:44] swiss_chris: You're welcome. [02:44] Nah Gaming4JC just XPPro, nlited of course [02:45] Jordan_U: this command needed a package named fprint-demo so i installed that package but now this command > http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/czbPYRRJ [02:45] :-) happy chris leaves channel at nearly 4am after hours of problem solving attempts... [02:45] Beginning install so I'm probably gonna disappear... [02:45] Uboy: It's "fprint_demo", with an underscore. [02:46] Lanh: What utility is saying that you only have one partition? [02:46] hi guys, got a question. with samba, the "create mask" value is 0755, what's the 0 for? [02:46] !bye | Gaming4JC [02:46] Gaming4JC, please see my private message [02:46] Traveler2: a place holder. :) [02:46] !bye [02:46] Au revoir! [02:46] :P [02:47] All of them Jordan_U the disk utility and fdisk -l [02:47] Traveler2: it can be a # - but i cant rember what that first # even did. [02:47] I'm trying to print a PDF that has page numbers on it. They aren't showing up on the printed output. Why might this be? [02:47] if you got rid of the 0, does it do anything? [02:47] Traveler2, I had that same question a while back...here's a good explanation: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1201175.html [02:47] Traveler2: try it and see. I dont think it will. [02:47] It's okay Jordan_U I've already started the reinstall, I just hope my backed up home directory works when I re-import it [02:48] ok, thanks you very much [02:48] Jordan_U: ok this command runs fprint-demo software that the software doesn't find my sensor too, see this plz> http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113361_Screenshotfprintprojectdemo.png [02:49] Traveler2: 0755 file, equivalent to u=rwx [02:49] thanks [02:50] cool [02:51] Uboy: No idea what to do from here then.

Enjoy your stay! [02:52] :D [02:52] !hi | SlidingHorn [02:52] SlidingHorn: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:52] Adem, do you have an ubuntu-related support question? [02:52] can somebody explain what swap and swap usage is to me pleaase? :) [02:52] I am having trouble unmounting my dvdrw drive in 10.04 so that I can make an iso image of the disk. any help please/? [02:52] !swap | adem [02:52] adem: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [02:53] Ok, got some more info. If it says "Saving to: `./adobe-flashplugin_10.1.53.64.orig.tar.gz'" where is it located? Doesn't seem to be in home directory [02:53] Does the system automatically move it? [02:53] Traveler2: the setuid, setgid and sticky bits are not set so hence 0755 permissions [02:53] Adem: also see -> www.linuxatemyram.com [02:53] sec [02:53] Jordan_U: ok dude [02:53] hi where do i edit change and modify teh grub loader file now in grub 2 [02:53] Adem: it automatically swaps out menory/ram as needed to the swap locations - yes [02:53] !grub2 | its-me-again [02:53] its-me-again: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:54] thanks Dr_Willis [02:54] Oh, I thought swap was a filesystem [02:54] lol its-me-again dr willis is a bot [02:54] :p [02:54] Adem: swap partitions use the 'swap' fylesystem sort of.. yes.. [02:54] Adno he is not [02:54] * Dr_Willis is the cyber expert with no life. [02:54] wait im thinking of someone else lol [02:54] :) [02:54] Adem no he is not [02:55] dr_watson on anothet network [02:55] lol [02:55] my bad [02:55] * Dr_Willis studied hard to pass the Turing Test. [02:55] !swap > Adem [02:55] Adem, please see my private message [02:56] I kind of get it :) [02:56] why does it use a filesystem though if its using hardware? [02:56] hey [02:56] Adem: When a program requires more memory than is physically available in the computer, currently-unused information can be written to a temporary buffer on the hard disk, called swap [02:56] My ubuntu and droid do not recognize eachother [02:56] Adem: what do you want to write to a hard disk using then? [02:56] Adem: swap filesystem is special :) i guess. [02:56] I see gene234 thanks :) [02:57] So its kind of like overclocking? [02:57] Adem: you can also make swap 'files' that could exist on a normal filesuystem. or in ram disks. [02:57] in a way [02:57] ummm Saving to: `./adobe-flashplugin_10.1.53.64.orig.tar.gz' as sudo goes... where? xP [02:57] it's using wget [02:57] Adem: just think of it as extra memory [02:57] Adem: its swaping out memory to a file/hard drive.. then moves it back.. same as you would load a image file or any other data. [02:57] oo I see :D [02:57] thanks [02:58] ok so i go to /etc/default/grub right but tehre is no grub bootloader informatin there [02:58] windows does the exact same thing. sort of.. many other os'zs also do it. [02:58] no other installs are there [02:58] i have several os [02:58] yeah Dr_Willis you can disable it on windows though am I right? [02:58] its-me-again: /etc/default/grub is one of the config files for grub2 theres /etc/grub.d/ also.. [02:58] I remember removing the 1gb swap file from c:/ [02:58] its-me-again: What exactly are you trying to do? [02:58] its-me-again: you DO want to read up on grub2 befor messing with those files. [02:59] Adem: yes. You can disable swap if you want to. I dont reccomend it [02:59] Is there a way I can hide the *filesystem* from appearing [02:59] hi, i disabled ssh with `sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove` but sshd is still running when I boot up. what else could be starting sshd? [02:59] Adem: you can do it if you know what you are doing, but if you're asking whether or not you can do it, you don't fall into this category =) [02:59] Jordan_U: add puppy linux grub info manually. adn also change teh name of teh windowzzy partitions to xp adn vista [02:59] Adem: hide it from where? [02:59] How can I view the history of the bash shell? [02:59] Like thunar file manager> on the left it has 1.3g filesystem( which is the swap) [03:00] Dr_Willis: ok y si grub 2 so hard to change [03:00] its-me-again: you can add a custome file in /etc/grub.d/XXXXXX to add static entries for other OS"s that are not detexcted properly [03:00] grub was easy [03:00] edbian: can u help me to configure fingerprint sensoron dell vostro 1520 plz? [03:00] its-me-again: i find it rather trivial to change.. but i did read its docs. [03:00] Dr_Willis: [03:00] Like thunar file manager> on the left it has 1.3g filesystem( which is the swap) [03:00] I am trying to install Mythubuntu and i got an error and it said "An error has occurred, starting desktop session so you can investigate". How do I investigate? [03:00] its-me-again: you make one file.. with the proper info.. and you can add entries for puppy, or bootable Iso files.. or other things. [03:01] Adem: that would be a thunar bug Im thinking. I dont see it on gnomes file manager [03:01] Oh :( [03:01] is there a way I can edit entries in my start menu? [03:01] xfce btw [03:01] Adem: its proberly just showilg all parittions even if it cant do stuff with it [03:01] great thats teh old grub menu.list y did they change it adn make it less userfriendly i never know [03:01] Adem: #xubuntu [03:01] ty [03:02] Adem: np gl [03:02] Adem: if you have over 2GB of ram say and not doing anything but pervierviewing web sites kill you swap [03:02] its-me-again: go research grub2 and learn why. #1 reason.. it was geting harder and harder to make it work with the newer features of new hardware. [03:02] Dr_Willis: can u help me about fingerprint scanner? [03:02] Dr_Willis: well what is teh /etc/default/grub file for then [03:02] Uboy: never had one. [03:02] hello, I have a bunch of files that have japanese filenames that have garbled text. I have installed all the language packs and everything else (websites, menus, dialog boxes, etc) displays japanese just fine. does anyone know how to fix this? google hasn't been much help [03:02] ok. [03:02] its-me-again: its the default settings for grub2. the grub.d defind the actual menu items,. [03:02] gene234: , pretty much websites/p2p and games such as cube 2 [03:02] thanks [03:02] Uboy: not many people with Ubuntu have that === jmad980 is now known as a11 [03:03] its-me-again: http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 for my collection of info on grub2 [03:03] Uboy: you could try ##linux and make sure to tell them your on Ubuntu 10.04 and more details the better [03:03] sebsebseb: ye I know [03:03] Uboy: in fact I wonder if anyone uses a fingerprint scanner with Ubuntu [03:03] #linux or ##linux ? [03:03] Once you learn the grub2 tricks.. you realize grub2 is as big an improvement over grub1 as grub was over lilo. :) [03:03] its-me-again: /etc/default/grub is basically where configuation options for update-grub go. Things that used to be in the comments-that-aren't-really-comments in grub legacy [03:03] Uboy: ##linux [03:03] sebsebseb: ok [03:03] work time for me. bye all. [03:04] Coments-that-are-not-really comments.. a VERY annoying part of the old grub. [03:04] sebsebseb: i know the name and exactly model [03:04] bye [03:04] Adem: not really sure about cube2 (not a gamer!) but otherwise if you have 2GB of ram kill swap! [03:04] wazaaa [03:04] hello camel_ [03:04] hello jr [03:04] what would be the advantage of killing the swap gene234 [03:05] hey somebody can help me on how to hack wifi? [03:05] lmao [03:05] Is ext3 backwards-compatible with ext2? i.e., can I mount ext3 filesystems as ext2? [03:05] www.hackforums.net camel_ [03:05] lol [03:05] Adem:depends on how much installed ram you have [03:05] Adem: Other than being able to use that disk space for other things, there is none. [03:05] camel_: nope. hacking is of questionable legality and thus offtopic for Ubuntu channels [03:05] 2g ddr2 ram gene234 [03:05] rww: Yes [03:05] Jordan_U: ta [03:05] meh, I'll leave it, I got plenty of disp space [03:06] camel: what type of wifi WEP, WAP, WAP2? [03:06] disk* [03:06] wep [03:06] iwlist scan [03:06] IDK [03:06] rww: you must be confused. Hacking is innovative coding. Itym other things that are illegal which *media* and idiots commonly refer to as "hacking" [03:06] Adem:well it (your swap partition) will never probaly be used [03:07] kent\n: You must be confused. I was using the terminology of the person who asked the question and am not interested in silly semantics discussions. [03:07] Is there a way I can add swap to my conky to see if its being used [03:07] Anybody here familiar with squid proxy? I need some help. [03:07] kent\n: hacking is not "cracking", hacking is more ethical ways of tweaking things. Crackers on the other hand have inherited the term hackers in recent decades. [03:07] :) [03:07] * kent\n is not interested in discussion either, I'm just trying to educate and de-stigmatise people from using the wrong term [03:07] anybody can help me configure usb wifi in ubuntu server 10.04? [03:07] Jordan_U: do you mind if I bug you once more with the (sudo) apt-get --reinstall apt-get --reinstall vmlinuz-2.6.31-22-generic (that's the version I currently have under /boot). Is that the right command? [03:08] Jordan_U: well, apart from the part that I pasted twice ... :-) [03:08] how to use aircrack-ng? [03:08] Adem:swapping does have a downside [03:08] such as [03:09] swiss_chris: Replace "vmlinuz" with "linux-image" and it will be. [03:09] camel_: Try their website. It has reasonably good tutorials. [03:09] give the page [03:09] Memory speeds can be measured in nanoseconds, while disks are measured in milliseconds [03:09] rww: give me the page [03:09] camel_: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/ , under "Documentation" [03:09] but thats probaly OT [03:10] gene234: Adem: But that's not a reason to disable swap [03:10] rww: let me try [03:10] thanks [03:10] Im not going to remove it, Its not doing any harm [03:11] The more swapping that occurs, the slower your system will be [03:11] hey guys im having trouble trying to use editors in terminal. All my keys are buggered and some dont work while others just do weird things any links for a help [03:11] anybody can help me configure a usb wifi in ubuntu server 10.04? [03:11] but in general this dosent really happen [03:11] gene234: That's not entirely true. [03:12] i am trying to install lucid on my friends computer, but for some reason the video isn't working after first menu. any ideas? [03:12] Doonz, terminal text editors have their own commands...which one are you using? [03:12] how to remember commands? I always forget them :p [03:12] SlidingHorn: vi [03:12] anybody can help me configure a usb wifi in ubuntu server 10.04? [03:13] however he has debian installed and the video works fine. what menu options should i give to make sure the video works? [03:13] Adem, http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/115/linux-unix-cheat-sheets---the-ultimate-collection/ [03:13] jr: use aircrack 1.1 [03:13] In most cases only adding more RAM will help.

[03:27] hmm well i found this:http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [03:28] i think i will try that and report back if problems, thanks everyone! :) [03:28] nevermind [03:28] where can I go to ask a C++ question. It's a rather complicated question [03:28] paranoidphreak, in the flash drive, did you use unetbootin or whatever it is, or did you just drag the iso in the flash drive [03:28] TomT64: ##c++ [03:28] how do you uninstall a program? [03:28] mikem: Tried that. I can't speak in the channel [03:29] TomT64: you have to register your name for freenode I think [03:29] Lang_Shadow, if you installed it in the ubuntu software center, you can go to the "installed applications" place [03:29] TomT64: strange, why not? [03:29] failing that, join #c and see if they notice;) [03:29] ubottu: register [03:29] Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[03:29] Lang_Shadow: synaptic helps! [03:29] lewis1711: is there a way I can retrieve my password? My nick was registered like 5 years ago :p [03:29] totoro, its command line [03:29] Lang_Shadow, sudo apt-get remove [03:29] ok [03:29] thank you [03:29] lewis1711: it's about STL, I doubt #c will help :D [03:30] TomT64: help with nickserv in #freenode [03:30] TomT64: it should lapse if you don't register after a while [03:30] just re-register [03:30] totoro: no, i've copied the entire partition that ubuntu was on on to the usb using gparted [03:30] or use D. wonderful language:) [03:30] lewis1711: freenode nickserv registrations don't automatically expire, you need to get them dropped [03:30] oh. slashnet ones do [03:30] TomT64: as IdleOne mentioned, asking in #freenode is your best bet [03:31] paranoidphreak, don't know now, new to linux tbh :( [03:31] totoro: oh k, thanks anyways [03:31] paranoidphreak: that probaly wont work [03:32] paranoidphreak, i'm going to guess that your computer you are trying to boot with doesn't have the ability to boot [03:32] from the usb [03:33] gene234: it able to access the exact same version on another system from the usb [03:33] paranoidphreak: sorry, run that by again? you're trying to boot ubuntu from a USB. how did you install it to the USB?

[03:37] lewis1711: yes, but i wanted exact copy of what ever is installed on my laptop already; otherwise, i have to spend roughly 6-7 hours setting up the flash drive version to my liking [03:37] that guys has been spamming a lot of channels on a lot of networks.... no wonder service providers keep dropping him :P [03:37] Im just trying to use themes from emerald asdf1 [03:37] Adem: yes, that's how it should be [03:37] Alan502: no [03:37] ohh [03:37] Alan502, you would have to run a socks proxy [03:37] Adem: then use: emerald --replace [03:37] How do i use themes in emerald? [03:37] paranoidphreak i have same problem if i run it on 1 system and go over to another system the kernel seems to crash but if i keep it on same system i originally booted from i have no problems [03:38] paranoidphreak: run the usb creater, partition it that way, install the default ubuntu, then copy images? [03:38] wtf, why do u highlight [03:38] man i was sleeping!!! [03:38] omani: go back to sleep [03:38] :) [03:38] paranoidphreak: it has something to do with usb distros booting much different [03:38] you speak spanish [03:38] omani: language [03:38] Si [03:38] Again, the above mess was triggered by problem users.

[03:39] FFForever: a socks proxy would allow any service? [03:39] ok [03:39] :) [03:39] Lang_Shadow, restart apache [03:39] Lang_Shadow: Which FTP server? [03:39] ah ok [03:40] rollman: oh...i'm having a different issue. the version boots on other systems but not on the system i copied it from [03:40] one sec [03:40] has anyone the 10.04 64 bit? [03:40] ok deadbot I am all yours now [03:40] thanks [03:40] !anyone | asdf1 [03:40] asdf1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:40] asdf1: just ask your question [03:40] question: I already have a linux distro on here. /home and /root are on separate partitions. is it possible to just install ubuntu onto my root partition, and keep my current home? [03:40] Flannel, vsftpd [03:40] SlidingHorn: careful - ops get upset if you use the bot [03:40] thanks anyways for everyones help [03:40] FFForever: actually, what happens, is that i'm conencting to the internet through a WindowsXP VM, because i'm using a 3g modem and wireless broadband connections are still unstable with ubuntu's network manager. So i installed Squid proxy on the vm and i'm using it through NAT, i assume i can do this with any other proxy though [03:40] whats the point of !! command when u can just click up? [03:40] hey guys how come when i try to browse to a network share on ubuntu 10.04 it keeps asking me to authenticate over and over but never opens...yes im sure credentials are right [03:40] paranoidphreak: so your usb install is working as anticipated on several systems but not one? [03:40] MTecknology: No, ops get upset if you abuse the bot. [03:41] MTecknology, only if you use it unnecessarily [03:41] MTecknology: i want to know if anyone has any problem with the 10.04 64 bit [03:41] asdf1: sometimes [03:41] Flannel: from the look of it, ubottu was talking through that +q. I guess there's a +e or something set? [03:41] thune3: on every other system except on the system it was copied from [03:41] Flannel: or in many cases just use it at all [03:41] asdf1, yes. some do. now, was that very helpful? [03:41] cause i have MTecknology a problem with the panel [03:41] asdf1: what problem specifically? [03:41] Alan502, I don't operate a proxy & squid is web only [03:41] paranoidphreak: and you mean that it boots, or just mounts on other systems? [03:42] also I have never ran a socks proxy [03:42] on panel there are appearring some white stripes [03:42] why is the emerald --replace command taking so long [03:42] asdf1: are you usaing compiz? [03:42] asdf1, did you change the panel size? [03:42] MTecknology: yes [03:42] paranoidphreak yes it uses the original system u booted from try reinstalling and running it from that system only [03:42] rww: no, looks like FB2 removed the +q once spam stopped [03:42] Flannel, so...? [03:42] thune3: when i try to boot from the usb on the system it was copied from, it goes to the laptops version of ubuntu but on other systems i have no problem [03:42] asdf1: does it happen without compiz enabled? [03:42] SlidingHorn: its not that poion [03:42] FFForever: ok, i'll check. Do you recommend any open source proxy for windows? [03:42] Flannel: ah, indeed. didn't notice that. [03:42] MTecknology: i didn;t try out this [03:43] Alan502, sorry once again I don't use them so I have never really looked into them [03:43] anybody help? [03:43] Lang_Shadow: Well, doesn't look like that's a metapackage, so I guess once again verify you've removed it, and check again. [03:43] how do I do that? [03:43] MTecknology: the stripes appears and on some screenlets [03:43] hi all : I'm getting a seg fault with Firefox occasionally. Version 3.6.3 on 10.10 x64. How can I trace the issue for reporting? [03:43] rollman: my usb version works on every other system except on the system it was copied from [03:43] paranoidphreak: you're sure the boot order on that PC has usb in front of the disks? can you tell if the USB grub is being accessed? [03:44] asdf1: with it disabled? [03:44] !emerald | Adem [03:44] Adem: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [03:44] no MTecknology i didn't try this [03:44] anyone here use eggdrop? [03:44] FFForever: ok thanks :P [03:44] MTecknology: is there any report bug for this problem? [03:45] Adem, I have in the past [03:45] asdf1: just try it first [03:45] thune3: it is being accessed but once i select the usb version, it tries to read from the disk for about 2 minutes and after it resumes booting from the laptops hd [03:45] adem - ask your actual question :) i'm sure plenty of people have [03:45] FFForever: what is it exactly [03:45] MTecknology: but i want the compiz [03:45] Does anybody else recommend an open source proxy for windows? [03:45] paranoidphreak: Did you copy the entire partition rather than individual files? If so then you'll need to modify the UUID since it's no longer Unique :) [03:45] Adem, it is a an irc bot... [03:45] irc bot such as service bot or irc bot as in botnet bin [03:45] lol [03:46] paranoidphreak: i'm thinking along the lines of Jordan_U as well [03:46] anyone? anyone at all with any sort of bug tracking experience? [03:46] how do I check if a program was actually removed??? [03:46] Only users with access level ADDFACTS can add factoids. [03:46] thune3: i'm telling my system to read from the usb [03:46] Adem, as in service bot that you could in theory code to be a botnet bin xD [03:46] :p [03:46] hey all [03:46] So, I think I've tried too many patches trying to get my sound to work again. Can someone please help me completely purge & reinstall the default Ubuntu sound system? [03:46] Hi [03:46] Lang_Shadow: aptitude search ; if it's installed it'll show i on the side - there's a lot of other ways too [03:46] can anyone help me? [03:46] paranoidphreak: if the bootloader is set to boot a UUID, if that uuid also matches a disk partition.... [03:47] well this is a help channel sinnedam , ask your question [03:47] MTecknology, on what side? [03:47] sinnedam, just state your problem [03:47] Lang_Shadow: you'll see [03:47] I did..but to state it again...im trying to access a network share it keeps asking me to authenticate...credentials are correct [03:48] cannot see my usb gig stick [03:48] in ubuntu [03:48] Jordan_U: i copied the entire partition using gparted. how do i modify the UUID? [03:48] Lang_Shadow, "apt-cache policy foo" and it will shows "Installed" or just candidate version of software [03:48] someone help [03:48] lags for a second and displays a dialog box that says "you can stop this operation by clicking cancel" for a second then disappears and nothing happens [03:48] i typed in aptitude search vsftp and its listed [03:48] sinnedam: check your logs [03:48] jb12: try "lsusb" and "dmesg | grep usb" in the terminal, put them on the pastebin [03:48] paranoidphreak: before i check, what fs type? [03:49] jb12, hi [03:49] :) [03:49] hi [03:49] Anyone good w/ sound? [03:49] which log would it be in [03:49] thune3: ext3 [03:49] jb12, By can't see it, I assume you mean it doesn't show up on the desktop or in places -> "computer" is that right? [03:49] yep doesent show up [03:49] yes thats correct edbian [03:50] jb12, Is it plugged in right now? [03:50] yes it is [03:50] 16 gig stick [03:50] paranoidphreak: "sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXX" but be warned that you will need to update all references to this UUID after you change it. [03:51] jb12, Nice! :) Anywho, does it show up in the output of sudo fdisk -l ?? You'll have to read the sizes. [03:51] ok, it is not installed yet I can still connect to the linux system using ftp [03:51] d [03:51] dajiahao [03:51] I'm attempting to install a wireless driver via .deb file and it attempts to download firmware. Can I somehow put that firmware in an "packages" directory so that the .deb file recognizes it's there? [03:51] paranoidphreak: To update your fstab run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and replace the old UUID with the new one (which you can find with "sudo blkid" [03:51] well if emerald is mucking up, how can i import themes to appearance? [03:52] paranoidphreak: To update grub just run "sudo update-grub" [03:52] Jordan_U: i run this on the usb version or the laptop's version? [03:52] paranoidphreak: USB [03:52] hhmm now i got this "unable to mount location dbus error org.freedesktop.dbus.error.noreply: did not receive a reply. possible causes include remote application did not send a reply and the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken" [03:52] no it doesent edbian [03:52] MKTecknology, ok, it is not installed yet I can still connect to the linux system using ftp [03:52] jb12, Plug it in and remove it and check dmesg [03:53] jb12, does dmesg record it being plugged in and removed?? [03:54] ok I have a question [03:54] Jordan_U: what do u mean by all references? i only have one partition on the usb [03:54] So, I have a bit of a noobish question. I've been told to put a file in $PATH. What do I do? [03:54] :( [03:54] guess no one knows then :( [03:54] alot of stuff here edbian [03:54] ok this is what its got [03:55] My kids got this new toy and I need to run it... I've changed it to an exacutable file but for some odd reason it ain't runnin [03:55] jb12, whoa, don't you copy and paste that here. [03:55] ansikt, in a terminal type "echo $PATH" and what it lists is your path. put the file in any of those directories. [03:55] jb12, use pastebin [03:55] would anybody please recommend an open source proxy for windows? [03:55] saying usb not found [03:55] jb12, but it should be at the very bottom because plugging in the usb drive is the most recent thing. [03:55] ansikt, "path" is the folders that are searched for executable commands [03:56] paranoidphreak: I mean configuration files that use that UUID to try to find the proper partition. [03:56] no one know? [03:56] whats the link for pasterbin [03:56] !paste [03:56] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:56] I really would like to know why I am able to connect to my server with ftp yet I have no ftp server installed [03:56] also it won't recognize anything I put into the usb drive [03:56] jb12, Here is a line from my dmesg after plugging in a usb stick: usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [03:57] thune3, Jordan_U and everyone else, thanks for all the help [03:57] Lang_Shadow: use top to see if the process is running [03:57] paranoidphreak: so grub and fstab on USB installation [03:57] jb12, Then about 20 other lines [03:57] !pastebin [03:57] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:57] paranoidphreak: You're welcome. [03:57] ugh [03:57] ok.. shall try a more advanced room... [03:57] jb12, http://paste.ubuntu.com/456179/ [03:58] i think my problem has to do with my wireless acting extremely slow on Ubuntu..where would i go to look at the driver/config settings for the wireless nic? [03:58] MTecknology, I don't see vsftpd. however i do have /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server [03:59] Lang_Shadow: dar ya go - you do have an ftp server installed :) [03:59] isn't that the ssh server though? [03:59] edbian, here it is.........http://paste.ubuntu.com/456180/ [03:59] Lang_Shadow: ssh is openssh-server [03:59] sinnedam, You can see what module you're currently using and what others the system has available for use by running : "sudo lspci -k" [03:59] Lang_Shadow, sftp-server is SSH not really FTP [04:00] sftp connection isn't a real ftp connection then? [04:00] Lang_Shadow, different ports/protocols [04:01] jb12, I see nothing about your usb drive. Does the key light up? ARe you sure the key is good and the system's usb ports work? [04:01] ive tried another gig stick and nothing [04:01] Lang_Shadow: no. the SFTP protocol doesn't use FTP [04:02] rww, ok thanks [04:02] Lang_Shadow: there's another thing called FTPS which is FTP over SSL, and is entirely different, though, which confuses the heck out of everyone [04:02] so I'll install proFTPd then [04:03] jb12, I suspect the usb ports aren't working [04:03] works in windows though edbian [04:03] can anyone help me with my wireless? [04:03] jb12, The usb ports probably aren't being recognized correctly in Ubuntu. I'm not sure how to help with that! :( I think the key and USB hardware works fine. Just isn't being used right by Ubuntu [04:04] boa noite [04:04] what do i do...i dont want to re install it again [04:04] Lang_Shadow, FTP is a poor protocol due to transferring passwords in plain text if you connecting over the internet you might want to consider alternative file transfer options. good luck man. [04:04] is there anyway to use the cp command and have it show the copying progress? [04:05] is anyone proficient with wireless problems on 10.04? [04:05] jb12, I don't know :( [04:05] hmm ok thanks... [04:05] duckwars, you might want to check out the script on this page (I HAVEN'T TRIED IT) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/cp-progress-bar-407381/ [04:05] !anyone | kdog [04:05] kdog: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:06] ZykoticK9: thanks [04:06] ok ubottu forgive my newbieness [04:06] duckwars, i have tried scripts similar to this in the past - they have never worked reliably for me. good luck. [04:06] duckwars: use rsync --progress instead [04:07] MTecknology: rsync is a command? [04:07] duckwars: yes [04:08] duckwars: Use rsync or scp instead (both work fine locally) [04:08] MTecknology: Like "rsync --progress /media/Drive1/video /media/Drive2/" ? [04:08] what should I do in this situation. I have hand compiled Mplayer and want to install SMplayer through apt-get, but it wants me to install Mplayer again. how can I just get the Smplayer and dependencies but not Mplayer? [04:08] i tried to get my computer to connect to my wireless router. wouldnt connect. so i installed windows wireless drivers, which is what the help app called for. now my computers wireless device will not turn on. [04:08] duckwars: yup [04:08] Thanks guys [04:08] I think I will go with scp [04:08] * Runar is hilighted, but cannot find out where :( [04:09] ennui: why not use mplayer from the repository¿ [04:09] i installed the correct driver and it said it was present. uninstalled wwd and still will not turn on. [04:09] ennui, so long as your verions of mplayer is installed in /opt or similar then the two versions can peacefully coexist on your system - just call the correct one with full path [04:10] Zykotick9: Is there no way to deselect that mplayer in apt-get? I'd prefer just one fore less confusion [04:11] ennui, i don't know man. good luck. [04:11] xangua: The Mplayer in the repo didn't recognize the vdpau decoder [04:12] how do i restart X [04:12] ennui: what version is that¿¿ maybe this PPA could help https://launchpad.net/~rvm/%2Barchive/mplayer [04:12] LOL typically you just have to install a single library "libvdpau1" and vdpau will work with default mplayer/nvidia [04:12] ennui, ^ [04:13] Runar: Just the spammer that came through. [04:13] Yeah, noticed that myself [04:13] Now I have another mystery [04:13] The last 5 messages all hilighted me [04:14] I want to expand my ubuntu partition (ext4) to take up some space from my windows partition, I don't care if i lose data on the windows partition but i want to NOT lose anything on my linux partition. Can i do this with gparted? [04:14] in 10.04, how do i enable the xorg setting 'enable3buttons'? xorg.conf appears to no longer exist for whatever reason [04:15] Adem, in an emercency alt+sysrq+k or from a terminal "sudo service gdm restart" [04:15] nickbp: create it, sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:15] ty [04:15] astropirate, Yes. But you have to boot with a live CD. You can't edit partitions that you have mounted. [04:15] and then add the pointing device section and its 'enable3buttons' setting [04:15] astropirate, In order to unmount root you need to boot a live CD [04:15] ok ill try that [04:16] edbian: can i do this with a ubuntu live cd? [04:16] or do i need a dedicated gparted live cd [04:16] nickbp, it's not quite that easy! you need to generate a valid xorg.conf file see my directions at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [04:16] astropirate: Ubuntu LiveCDs carry gparted [04:16] ZykoticK9: ok [04:16] Cynthia: thanks [04:16] ZykoticK9: out of curiousity, why isnt it there from the start? (if you know) [04:17] nickbp, typically it's not needed anymore - all automatic === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [04:17] there doesnt appear to be any other way of setting any of these 'non-automatic' settings [04:17] maybe there should be a ui for that before killing the file [04:17] nickbp, then you need an xorg.conf ;) [04:18] My netbook running 10.04 won't connect to my android wifi tether, which is ad hoc. Any ideas? [04:18] netcrusher88: "dmesg | tail -n 50" might show something [04:18] Should mention, worked on 9.10 and works with win and mac... the tether app also runs dhcp [04:19] I can't get my cd tray to open [04:19] i hope we're not still having spammer issues [04:19] psuasti: Even with the 'eject' command? [04:19] Cynthia, uh huh even with that command [04:19] when i right click on my network symbol, it does not give me an "enable wireless" option, nor does the hardware button work. i assume this means the driver is not loaded, but i do not have the foggiest how to reload it. when i lshw the network it says unclaimed. [04:20] psuasti: What version of Ubuntu are you running? Did it work in an earlier version, if applicable? What is the brand and model of your CD player? [04:21] 8.04, i think it worked before, how do i find that info out [04:22] has anyone tried teamviewer for linux? i'm wondering whether I should install the windows version through wine since the linux version is just the windows version packaged with wine [04:22] my synaptic keeps crashing... can you reinstall it like any other package? [04:22] well.. not crashing but freezing [04:22] or does it come with extra stuff? [04:22] psuasti: 'cdrecord -scanbus' [04:23] psuasti: (+) for me the second line says 'ATAPI ' 'DVD A DH16A1L ' 'KH1A' Removable CD-ROM [04:24] it says the same for me except instead of kh1a it says "YH13" [04:24] acx0 i had alot of problem running the tv linux. for some reason it worked better when i installed it thru play on linux. [04:25] kdog, play? [04:25] oh nvm [04:26] psuasti: Are you in a position where you can try Ubuntu 10.04, or upgrade to it, and see if the problem is fixed there? In a VM with CD-ROM command passthrough perhaps, or if you have 2 CD drives in your computer [04:26] nope [04:26] well maybe i can upgrade [04:27] psuasti: this is disk in and stuck? or tray never opens period? [04:28] thune3: [04:28] dvd drive stuck? [04:28] tray doesn't open [04:28] psuasti: [04:28] there is a manual eject hole on dvd drives [04:29] Sounds like a persistent problem in Hardy (8.04) to Karmic (9.10): https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/18263 [04:29] look for a tiny hole on it, get a pin thats long and poke it in [04:29] preferably straightened clip === Astro_ is now known as astropirate [04:30] psuasti: Also mark yourself as affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397734 [04:31] Whoever it was who advised me, (Lanh/Hardekyn1), on how to backup my files and settings, thank you! [04:32] Adem, it didn't work [04:32] psuasti: in the past i have had sticking issues and ran "sudo hdparm -w /dev/[your affected drive]" to reset the drive. This is drastic, could crash the machine, and definately run "sync" beforehand. [04:32] Hardekyn: were you the one who asked what the Firefox settings folder was? (.mozilla) [04:32] the manual eject button is fairly deep [04:32] you need a long pin [04:32] No, the settings for everything Cynthia [04:32] xchat, pidgin, opera, the whole lot :) [04:32] Is there a way to control the mouse cursor using the cli? [04:33] Hardekyn: just copy yout home [04:33] psuasti: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07168&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&product=94378 [04:33] hi, what should I do to play 3gp videos ? ( I can play it with vlc, but there is no sound) [04:33] I'm currently re-importing my media and then I'm gonna import the other settings files, but as xchat worked perfectly, I presume the others will too, including the all important GnuPG :) [04:34] hrishi: Have you tried playing it with totem? [04:35] Jordan_U: nope , let me try :) [04:35] can somebody recommend an open source proxy server for windows? [04:35] edbian: install xdotool, then xdotool mousemove x y; [04:36] Jordan_U: same problem , no sound :( [04:36] trism, There has got to be a lower level tool but I will check that out :) [04:36] Alan502: keep on the topic or try in ##windows [04:37] So I have a question about iPod Touches under Lucid [04:37] where is the menu.lst in lucid === jmad980 is now known as somerandomperson [04:37] Can someone help me figure out why compiz isn't doing anything. I've tried to enable compiz settings manager, but each command I run(such as super+shift+s which is suppose to ring switch) does nothing. as if compiz is disabled. [04:37] xangua: ok, thanks, i don't know how much open-source help they will give me there though xD [04:38] Whatś best programm to download mp3 files like soulseek? === somerandomperson is now known as jmad980 [04:38] osmario: nicotine [04:38] ubuntu keeps thinking i have a floppy drive even though i dont. Is there any way to get rid of it? [04:38] trism, There has got to be a lower level tool but I will check that out :) [04:39] do you use it? [04:39] hello [04:39] yeah, it rules [04:39] do you know a french canal? [04:39] foul_owl: it's now /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and it is no longer meant to be edited by hand. [04:39] edbian: I'm not sure how you would get lower level, unless you were looking to write your own code for it (which is actually pretty straightforward too) [04:40] how to configure nicotine? [04:40] trism, The man page for xodtools even says "written using xtest and xlib libraries. [04:40] thune3: thanks, i need to edit it by hand though [04:40] foul_owl: to do what? many configs can be done through /etc/default/grub [04:40] edbian: yes, you can write you own code using those libraries, but that isn't really what you asked [04:41] Omen_20, check /etc/fstab is the line for floppy commented out (start with # symbol)? [04:41] how to set up nicotine? [04:41] trism, true :) I think I will write my own program though :) [04:41] thune3: i need to disable "quiet" and "splash" and enable "nomodeset" [04:41] !info nicotine [04:41] nicotine (source: nicotine): graphical client for the SoulSeek peer-to-peer system.

I should have known to check that. thx [04:43] Omen_20, glad to help [04:43] can anyone recommend a bandwidth monitor that ignores lan activity [04:43] foul_owl: i don't understand exactly. you could edit grub menu for one time boot, and then edit /etc/default/grub to your specs and run update-grub [04:43] is there an open source channel in freenode? [04:44] foul_owl, holding down the shift key during boot "should" show you grub screen [04:44] ok, i didn't know the shift trick [04:44] right after the bios [04:44] hrishi: Looks like there are legal issues with including AMR (3gp audio) support. You can get mplayer with AMR support from the mediabuntu repository. [04:44] ? [04:44] bb people [04:44] foul_owl, you should see !grub2 factoid for chrooting as you need to update grub after making the change to the file. [04:45] foul_owl, right after bios yes - before grub! [04:45] Alan502: normally all channels in freenode are related to open source [04:45] sweet, i will try that [04:45] Jordan_U: thanks brother :) [04:45] anyone....bandwidth monitor that ignores lan activity? [04:45] hrishi: You're welcome. [04:46] xangua: quite a lot on here that aren't [04:46] how do i run update-grub from live cd [04:46] Alan502: quite a lot on here that aren't as well, so xangua is wrong [04:46] sebsebseb: like what¿¿ i only know one pr0n :S [04:46] for mounted harddrive [04:46] xangua: see for yourself /list [04:46] do i need to chroot [04:46] !grub2 > foul_owl [04:46] foul_owl, please see my private message [04:46] hi all, i have an ot-question about enchiladas, is that okay? [04:46] foul_owl: Holding shift at boot is easier and will allow you to do what you need. [04:46] sebsebseb: a really long list, maybe in another life [04:47] thanks!

[04:58] Is it possible that a better driver exists for my video card than those offered by the Hardware Drivers manager? [04:58] not letting me right click desktop>? [04:59] Adem: what window manager? [04:59] IdleOne: xfce [04:59] expected behavior I believe [04:59] rww: : compose -- release ---- ` then realease--- then e ? [04:59] never happened before :s? [04:59] hungnv: yes [04:59] Adem: ask in #xubuntu perhaps [04:59] kk [04:59] hi..... [05:00] rww: which layout are you using, please [05:00] Hex3: the normal package is libpcap0.8-dev which puts it in /usr/lib, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1895100/ubuntu-linux-library-path for some further infomation. [05:00] hungnv: generic 105-key en_US with compose set to CapsLock [05:01] does anyone here know if its possible to add a right click menu for the applications in the applications list? [05:01] to uninstall an app? [05:01] like in Linux Mint? [05:01] ooh, seems there's a new version I can apt-get [05:02] james296: thats what the software center is for [05:02] but what if I want an easier solution? [05:02] james296: mint has a totally separate piece of software for its menu. i suppose if you can program you could add that functionality to gnome's menu... [05:02] rww: I dont have en_us layout [05:02] can someone please point me to some advice for how to fix a machine that was nice and speedy until I reinstalled XP (now gone) and 10.4? [05:02] so...no one has done that? [05:03] james296: why would they? gnome is used on more than just ubuntu. ubuntu's uninstall commands wont work on fedora or suse. mint's menu is ONLY on mint so it can get away with not working cross-distro [05:03] the users command shows that 2 instances of me are logged on - elssar@elssar-laptop:~$ users [05:03] elssar elssar [05:03] whats going on with my computer? [05:03] wrong, its in Fedora now [05:04] got a question....trying to install 10.04 desktop and after the initial screens, everything goes blank. i figure it's because i have an ATI HD 5670 in there, which is fairly new. but can i work around this? [05:04] elssar: are you in an X session with a terminal emulator? [05:04] james296: with the uninstall commands? [05:04] <_jesse_> elssar: mine show's 5, I believe it is related to the number of xterms you have open [05:04] not sure but I know the Mint Menu is there [05:04] <_jesse_> elssar: there is likely always one, then the xterm shows as a second [05:04] james296: well yeah you can install mint's menu [05:04] how do i run a game that i have installed from iso through wine (no linux installer) without inserting the cd? is there a way to point it to the /mnt directory when it looks for the cd? [05:04] what's the syntax to put /foo/bar/Dropbox as a symbolic link inside /foo/bar/Ubuntu One ? [05:04] astropirate: you must take precautions regarding data loss when modifying partitions and fiilesystem sizes. Anything you would agonize over losing must be backed up. The operation will likely be successful, with data unharmed, but you should not take it as a guarantee. [05:04] james296: i thought you wanted to change the *real* gnome menu to have distro-specific package management commands [05:05] oh, okay...thanks guys [05:05] that too [05:05] Cynthia - yes [05:05] james296: if you want to, go ahead and fork gnome's menu i guess... [05:05] where is xorg.conf in lucid [05:05] elssar: then your X session is the first elssar, and the terminal emulator is the second elssar [05:05] james296: i mean, its not like the gnome people are *preventing* you from forking the code [05:05] how do I "fork" gnomes menu? [05:06] james296: you don't unless you know how to program properly [05:06] james296: you download the source code, make whatever changes you want, and release it with a new name [05:06] I dunno how to do that [05:06] james296: I recommend just editing the menu as you want: System/Preferences/Main Menu [05:06] james296: tough cookies [05:06] thnx cynthia [05:06] james296: like i said, you can go install the mint menu [05:06] so why not help? [05:06] james296: but changing gnome's menu is going to require sitting down and spending a few days programming [05:07] i need to change the xorg driver, where is xorg.conf [05:07] james296: so, if you want to change the gnome menu, either learn to program or find a way to convince someone to do it for you (chocolate chip cookies or some money might help) [05:07] (need to change from command line) [05:07] foul_owl: /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the file might not exist, though [05:07] doesn't exist [05:07] <_jesse_> foul_owl: sudo X -configure [05:07] <_jesse_> foul_owl: there isn't one by default in lucid [05:07] can Ubuntu One understand symbolic links? [05:07] from live cd [05:08] james296: I recommend just editing the menu as you want: System/Preferences/Main Menu [05:08] <_jesse_> foul_owl: then do a chroot [05:08] james296: to install the mint menu in ubuntu: http://www.khattam.info/2009/08/01/install-linux-mint-menu-in-ubuntu/ [05:08] james296: or use Mint if you really must, but Ubuntu is better really [05:08] how do i run a game that i have installed from iso through wine (no linux installer) without inserting the cd? is there a way to point it to the /mnt directory when it looks for the cd? [05:08] rww: which package containt en_us international layout? [05:08] s/containt/contain [05:08] Hi, i upgraded my system to 9.10 from 9.04 now it loads and stops at the terminal :( [05:08] how do i chroot [05:09] chroot /bin/bash /some/where [05:09] ramuday: you downgrade it? [05:09] hungnv: no idea. I'm kinda in the middle of something, and don't know much apart from what that wiki page I linked you to says. Perhaps someone else can help? [05:09] <_jesse_> foul_owl: man chroot [05:09] <_jesse_> foul_owl: you essentially just give it a new root directory [05:09] so like [05:09] <_jesse_> foul_owl: so make it whatever your installation is [05:09] chroot /bin/bash /media/moutedhd [05:10] <_jesse_> foul_owl: just try chroot /media/moutedhd [05:10] Will someone please help me manually configure GRUB2 from startup? [05:10] ok thanks guys!! [05:10] i've tried editing the bootline to include "nomodeset" but the screen still goes blank\ [05:10] when i run a check on cat /etc/release --- it says 9.10 but wont run [05:10] ubuntu one :( [05:10] Semitones: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9243406&postcount=11 [05:11] thune3, thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for [05:11] thune3, now I just have to find out why ubuntu one is stuck at 0% synchronizing [05:11] is it just me or is the Arcade icon under Games in the softsre center missing its icon? [05:11] software* [05:12] james296: It's probably just you [05:12] rww: ok, thanks. I cannot get it works anyway [05:12] no, its not, Im using the default theme and have been [05:12] i know it's a fairly common problem with the 10.04 install, but i can't seem to find a document about ATI cards and how to doa workaround to get to a point where I can install the drivers [05:12] Is anyone able to help me manually configure grub2 from start-up? Pretty please :) [05:13] deexannihilate: What exacly are you trying to do? [05:14] jordan_u: I need to reconfigure the drives that linux uses to start the computer [05:14] anyone know of a good ftp server which requires you to make separate users for ftp and you are able to limit each user to a single folder and also set quota to each user [05:14] deexannihilate: Why? [05:14] ?? [05:14] jordan_u: My computer has a relatively new hard-drive and sound card. They were installed within the past 6 months. There is also a DVD-R drive and a CD-RW drive. The DVD-R drive was installed at the same time as the other new stuff. The DVD-R would not work with the CD-RW plugged in so the CD-RW had been disconnected. I plugged it in the other day disconnecting the DVD-R and the computer worked but the CD-RW drive would not. So, I dis [05:15] deexannihilate: Your message was cut off at "So, I dis" [05:15] sudo X -configure no werk [05:15] even with chroot [05:15] Jordan_U: disconnected the CD-RW and reconnected the DVD-R and now the computer won't load past the intro screen. The computer is dual booted with Kubuntu and Windows XP. The computer loads the intro Compaq screen and goes through the normal motions as it normally would except the screen where I would normally choose the operating system doesn't come up. It just stays black. [05:16] I've tried proftpd and it wants you to use the linux users on the system and you are unable to login or set quota to a user [05:16] _jesse_ : how do i change the video driver for a mounted hd from a live cd? [05:17] deexannihilate: Why do you think that grub needs to be re-configured? [05:17] anyone know? [05:17] does g++ have a gui? [05:17] <_jesse_> foul_owl: that, I'm afriad, is a bit out of my knowledge :( [05:17] Semitones: you might take a look at ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log [05:17] anyone have at least a link to a workaround for the installation of 10.04 going black and staying black? [05:17] Jordan_U: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/cjowo/my_computer_is_not_working_broken/c0t29iu [05:17] after i upgraded to 9.10 grub does not show 9.04 version it shows 8.10 [05:18] anyone know a bandwidth monitor that excludes lan traffic? [05:18] If I upgrade a 9.10 install to 10.04, can I safely assume KMS is enabled (on an Intel 915)? Is there any way to confirm that? [05:19] anyone know how to change the video driver now that xorg.conf is deprecated [05:19] foul_owl: by creating an xorg.conf [05:19] Anybody know which file/folder in the home directory stores VPN connections? [05:20] anyone know a bandwidth monitor that ignores lan traffic, something like vnstat [05:20] LSD|Ninja: where can i get a blank one [05:20] deexannihilate: The person who made that comment is confused about many things. He has no idea what he is talking about. [05:20] or a "bare bones" [05:21] starnostar: spamming the same question every two minutes isn't going to encourage people to answer you ;) === Chazz is now known as chazz [05:21] Anybody know which file/folder in the home directory stores the gnome theme? [05:21] foul_owl: X -configure should do it. You may need to combine it with sudo, I can't remember. [05:21] Hardekyn it should be a hidden folder within your home directory [05:21] Cabezon: depends on your hardware. nvidia graphics that do that likely require "nomodeset" grub option, and intel 8XX series graphics likely require i915.modeset=1 grub option. Do you know your graphics hardware? [05:21] SlikerT, called? [05:21] well, nobody answers and nobody reads old messages, what do you suggest i do? [05:22] anyone wanna help me troubleshoot my sound? [05:22] Jordan_U: :( Any idea on what I should do? [05:22] LSD|Ninja: I tried that, but it didn't work [05:22] foul_owl: it should dump a basic xorg.conf into either ~ or wherever you start it from. From there, you edit it and move it to /etc/X11 [05:22] deexannihilate: Can you get to a BIOS screen for selecting which drive to boot from? [05:23] linux_is_my_hero: Certainly. Is it muted in Sound Preferences / Output Volume; is an application muted in Sound Preferences / Applications? What sound card do you have? What problem are you experiencing? [05:23] any French people here? How can you type è with USA keyboard layouut ? [05:23] Jordan_U: Yes. It is open now. [05:23] i spent countless hours on google looking for a solution, and the irc seems like more help than anything, and i know that nobody reads anything 3-5 lines up unless it pertains to them, please...if you have a better method to finding a solution ot my problem enlighten me [05:23] starnostar: waiting a resonable amount of time before asking the same question [05:23] hungnv: I am. But I use the Canada/Canada layout [05:24] deexannihilate: Is your hard drive listed there? [05:24] starnostar: maybe check out dstat or ifstat? [05:24] starnostar: people will ignore you if they can't hell as well as if you're being annoying. It's lose/lose, but you have to work with it [05:24] Cynthia: with Canada/canada layout, how can you type é à è á â ? [05:24] cynthia: no sound at all, and its not the speakers, i checked them with another audio source. its not muted, and my apps arent muted either. [05:24] LSD|Ninja: i tried to chroot and then run it, but it didn't exit sucessfully. [05:25] hungnv: look at the keyboard layout image in System / Preferences / Keyboard / Layouts / [Add] Canada [05:25] thank you thune, much appriciated, and i think ill avoid this irc from now on [05:25] Jordan_U: Yes, it is listed as first boot device. Assuming, it is this device [PM-WDC WD800BB] [05:25] hungnv: there's a dedicated key for é, but for the others, you hit the accent key, THEN the letter, so ` + e = è [05:25] How do I install Ubuntu with RAID1 software-based? [05:25] heh. nomodeset doesn't work [05:26] linux_is_my_hero: then it's probably a driver issue. what sound card does 'lshw -C sound' give? (pastebin) [05:26] deexannihilate: Start holding shift then select your hard drive (continue holding shift). Do you still just get a black screen? [05:27] Jordan_U: from start up? [05:27] !alternate | KurtKraut [05:27] KurtKraut: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [05:27] deexannihilate: Yes. === ubuntu is now known as Veil_L [05:27] any other boot/install options i can try? there seems to be a lot of talk on the forums about 10.04 going black during install, but nothing for ATI cards, mostly nvidia [05:27] Jordan_U, I haven't seen such option in alternate install. And I didn't find any official documentation telling how to do RAID1. [05:27] Cynthia: it does not work for me too, what the heck! [05:27] Jordan_U: It never prompted drives. It's a blank screen, yes. [05:28] hey, would the alternate CD work better for me in that case? [05:28] KurtKraut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [05:28] deexannihilate: Can you boot a liveCD?

[05:30] no not really milo_ [05:30] hardekyn I found that directory === milo_ is now known as mi === mi is now known as mi|o [05:31] Jordan_U: I have an Acer with no drive. I can try to load it on a MicroSD, but it'll take a while.

[05:32] Only users with access level ADDFACTS can add factoids. [05:32] cynthia: what is the URL for pastebin? pastebin.com looks kinda shady. === ubuntu is now known as Veil_L [05:33] lang_shadow: get to configuring [05:33] huh? [05:33] Cabezon: alternate would work, but you will likely still run into the issue, unless you install proprietary drivers off the bat. the only other workaround option i know is "xdriver=vesa" [05:33] linux_is_my_hero: uh, it isn't. however, paste.ubuntu.com might look less shady to you [05:33] configuring what??? === william is now known as Guest84480 [05:33] lang_shadow: your choice of ftp server [05:34] most of em support such feature [05:34] I've tried vsftpd and proftpd [05:34] both unable to do what i want [05:34] Really?

How can I limit users to a particular directory tree? === slikert is now known as SlikerT [05:36] proftpd can't do users and rely on linux users, also unable to do quota. plus the users except those with sudo access can't login [05:36] like i made a new linux user and removed ssh access and it can't login [05:37] you removed access and it worked basically?

[05:56] foul_owl: calm down, anger results in mixed commands. sure don't want that [05:56] mount it, configure the xorg for it, then reboot [05:56] foul_owl, does the recovery mode work for console? [05:57] cay: explain how? [05:57] hehe [05:57] jordan_u: I don't have a CD/DVD drive on my netbook. any other way to burn the image? [05:57] godfree, mount my windows partition? [05:57] or? [05:57] foul_owl: type this no quotes in a command line: 'sudo mkdir /mnt/repair ' [05:57] deexannihilate: It can also be written to a floppy disk or dd'd to any type of bootable drive (like a flash drive). [05:58] Jordan_U: hey, just a quick question, you had instructed me a little while back to change my UUID on the flash drive doing the following: sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXX, updating fstab with the new UUID and running "grub update". is this all i have to do? [05:58] foul_owl, can you get in via recovery mode? [05:58] foul_owl: ok? [05:58] paranoidphreak: Yes. [05:58] how do i set recovery mode [05:58] can external drives have linux install on it and booted on [05:58] godfree: done [05:59] foul_owl: stay with me [05:59] foul_owl, wait can you get to command line [05:59] foul_owl: can you type that in for me? [05:59] Hi. [05:59] Hi [05:59] cay: at command line in live cd [05:59] Jordan_U: thanks, i ljust wanted to make sure i wasn't missing anything else [05:59] godfree: type what [05:59] In altf2, i ran "free the fish", Now how do i close that fish ? [05:59] paranoidphreak: You're welcome. [05:59] foul_owl: type this no quotes in a command line: 'sudo mkdir /mnt/repair ' [05:59] godfree: did that [05:59] Lalitha: killall gnome-panel [05:59] foul_owl, godfree http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2118873&postcount=22 [05:59] read that [05:59] lalitha: enjoy the fish [05:59] Jordan_U: ok, how do I execute it? ./boot_info_script055.sh just gives me Premission denied even as root. [06:00] for mounting your windows partition http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_manually.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only [06:00] rww, won't that kill my panels too ? [06:00] cay: i mam good [06:00] foul_owl: type this no quotes in a command line: 'sudo mkdir /mnt/repair ' [06:00] Lalitha: it automatically restarts, without fish. [06:00] godfree: i did that [06:00] ok [06:00] =) [06:00] actually, you know what [06:00] rww, thanks. [06:00] will x use xorg.conf if i make one? [06:00] now we need to find your installation partition, can you click system and than gparted [06:00] !welcome [06:01] abuayyoub: chmod +x boot_info_script055.sh && ./boot_info_script055.sh [06:01] 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! [06:01] foul_owl: yes [06:01] can someone just pastbin a barebones xorg.conf [06:01] Any one have a recommendation for a backup utility that will automatically monitor a folder and backup to a remote pc via ssh? Perhaps a utility to automate rsync. [06:01] godfree, my bad is X no capitol ty for help me godfree ty so much, [06:01] hey, Xorg is consuming >50% cpu, is this normal? and what can i do about it?? [06:01] Only users with access level ADDFACTS can add factoids. [06:01] anyone know if there are any settings I need to configure in ubuntu to upload pictures to the image folder within the virtual host for apache? [06:01] foul_owl: if you can get into the system you can do it yourself [06:01] no i cant [06:01] foul_owl, read that link I pasted from nvnews above if you are getting the blank screen of death. You are going to need to get a custom EDID [06:02] !google [06:02] 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. [06:02] hmm now firefox isn't working. input/output error [06:02] foul_owl: "sudo X -configure" while X isn't running would create one [06:02] Hi, can i force all my apps to connect through an specific proxy? :) please help [06:02] foul_owl: i want you to get into your installation of ubuntu, than i will help you configure your graphics [06:02] rww: doesn't work [06:02] crashes [06:02] fun [06:02] hehe yep [06:02] :| [06:02] foul_owl: the commands thus far are to get you into your system from the liveCD [06:02] why was xorg.conf deprecated? [06:02] Cay, i need that link too. [06:03] Lalitha, which one? [06:03] godfree: still listening [06:03] foul_owl: better autodetection of hardware by X, apparently [06:03] can external drives have linux install on it and booted on [06:03] Cay, blank screen of deat [06:03] lalitha: can you boot? [06:03] foul_owl: however, xorg.conf-less works for the majority of people [06:03] Lalitha, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2118873&postcount=22 [06:03] lol [06:04] it's a known issue with nvidia drviers and 10.04 [06:04] Jordan_U: Got it... http://pastebin.com/9pXhv2Aw [06:04] godfree: what next [06:04] godfree, YES :P . I don't have the problem. I am just going to bookmark the link. [06:04] cay: can you not paste the command to do so? [06:04] lalitha: good idea [06:04] foul_owl: can you get into gparted? [06:04] to do what? You have to get the custom EDID from another OS [06:04] there is no magic command to do that [06:05] foul_owl: you can also type 'sudo gparted' [06:05] unless there's a "BOOT WINDOWS && DOWNLOAD SHIT && FAILTRAIN SAVE IT && REBOOT TO FAILTRAIN UBUNTU IN RECOVERY" [06:05] foul_owl: this part is to find your partition (pizza slice) of your installation [06:05] coomand [06:05] command* [06:05] abuayyoub: The filesystem on sda5 is seriously damaged. [06:05] godfree: just one partition [06:05] !caps | Cay [06:05] Cay: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [06:05] already mounted [06:06] Jordan_U: ok, so what can I do? [06:06] foul_owl: ok what does it say? as the label /dev/??? [06:06] godfree, cay, rww Bye. [06:06] one sec [06:06] abuayyoub: Run fsck and hope it can fix everythign that's damaged. [06:06] bye =) [06:06] can external drives have linux install on it and booted on [06:06] Jordan_U: ok, will it fix Grub as well? [06:07] godfree: i gotta reboot, shit is fucking up, brb [06:07] totoro: yes [06:07] abuayyoub: Yes, once the filesystem is fixed grub will start working again. [06:07] ok thanks [06:07] abuayyoub: fskck -y /dev/sda5 [06:08] abuayyoub: Sorry, "fsck -y /dev/sda5" [06:08] Jordan_U: thank you! I was just going to ask for that lol. [06:08] Anyone have any knowledge with uploading images from windows to linux? [06:08] abuayyoub: You're welcome :) [06:08] what's the command(by creating app launcher) to change the default window of gnome-terminal? [06:08] more specifically ftp [06:09] 1 hour [06:09] lame [06:09] Jordan_U: I think yesterday I tried to run fsck while I had gnome runnig I didn't notice the warning until after I ran the program where it said it *WILL* cause damage to your fs.... I closed the program but apparently it still jacked it up [06:09] not even sure i have ant dvd's lawl [06:09] *any [06:09] Hey, is an HDMI montior "HDMI" or "DPMS" [06:09] abuayyoub, nothing to do with gnome... cant fsck a mounted device [06:10] cay:do you need help === Cyclops_ is now known as SlikerT [06:10] zenlunatic: yea? i saw the error and cancled it right a way maube thats why it screwed it up [06:11] Anyone have any knowledge with uploading images from windows to linux? more specifically uploading through ftp. [06:11] godfree, I came in here because I can't get twinview working (or xinerama) so yes very much so [06:11] I'm seriously at my wits end [06:11] abuayyoub, whats your partitioning scheme === silverdulcet is now known as Guest27217 [06:11] cay: stop trolling than [06:11] hmm. the install went fine after adding xforcevesa into the boot line. computer restarts, does its bios work and then just quits--flashing cursor, no boot [06:11] LifeEscalade, what do you mean uploading [06:11] godfree, wtf, I knew the answer to the guys problem [06:12] cay: i am not talking ajust about tha [06:12] *that [06:12] what do you mean? [06:12] Cay: whatch the language [06:12] zenlunatic: http://pastebin.com/9pXhv2Aw [06:12] zenlunatic: meaning ftping from my windows computer to linux server. When i try to upload an image into the image folder i get a failed error [06:12] cay: just take a breather [06:13] actually interesting, you seem to be the one trolling me. [06:13] Cabezon: you still need the workaround until you find a fix (maybe installing proprietary drivers) [06:13] does anybody know how I can get BCI (font hinting compiler) enabled in Ubuntu 10.04 ? doe I need to patch and recompile ? [06:13] wb foul_owl [06:13] thanks [06:13] I can't believe it didn't dawn on me before this, I offer an answer and you ask me to put that into one command. Most things can't be wrapped into a single command. [06:13] thune3: easy enough to find....it just seems that the installation doesn't want to even start to boot [06:13] /dev/sda1 [06:13] cay: correct, wait no. echo 1 && echo 2 [06:14] i think that is your usb drive [06:14] me? [06:14] Cabezon: Hold shift during boot to get the grub menu then edit the menu entry to add xforcevesa to the kernel parameters. [06:14] foul_owl:sorry liveCD [06:14] yea [06:15] godfree, seriously are you just a troll or what is your problem? [06:15] LifeEscalade, can you reach other network services on the linux box? [06:15] ???? [06:15] foul_owl: im brain dead at the moment, give me a sec [06:15] lol [06:15] Cay: can you resend that article [06:16] fowl_owl: here we go [06:16] be back in a min [06:16] foul_owl, sure it's pretty simple take a look at it, it worked for getting one of my monitors working but I can't get twinview working now http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2118873&postcount=22 [06:16] zenlunatic: through the install of webmin, yes. When i use my ftp client on my windows computer I can upload .html and other files, but when i go to upload images into the image folder, I get an error message within the ftp client and the file fails to upload [06:17] abuayyoub, so all your stuff is on one partition and it is corrupted? [06:17] it sounds like that is your problem, I could be wrong though. If you need to know how to mount your ntfs partition I've already done the appropriate digging for it. [06:17] fowl_owl: http://pastie.org/1021405 [06:17] verifying DMI pool dat.....AMD Data Change....Update New Data to DMI! ....and then, nothing. don't think it's even making it to grub [06:17] larsivi: Cabezon [06:17] LifeEscalade, you need to narrow it down to either your client or server [06:17] foul_owl: command by command you should be able to get an xorg file [06:18] LifeEscalade, any other machines connect to the server? [06:18] larsivi: Cabezon Sorry, that was supposed to be /lastlog Cabezon [06:18] * Jordan_U needs sleep [06:18] foul_owl: you ok over there [06:18] how do I get manpages for stuff like itoa() ? [06:18] thanks guys [06:18] yeah im good [06:18] zenlunatic: where do you think the problem lies? [06:18] inertial: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev [06:19] LifeEscalade, i dont know from those details but my first step would be to attempt the same upload on another windows box [06:19] inertial: And don't use itoa, use strtol :) [06:19] cay: currently he is in the live CD. so he is not actually in his system. i needed to move him into his ubuntu install and fix Xorg [06:19] Jordan_U: how can I access my FS from this live disk?/ It looks like it's in /media/sda5 i can cd into it but ls is empty [06:20] cay: if he tried to edit xorg right now, it would be the liveCD instead [06:20] LifeEscalade, I would double check the daemon setup too and perhaps network connectivity between host and client [06:20] zenlunatic: lol if that were only possible. im on the only windows lap box on the network. other lap box is a mac [06:20] inertial: Ignore that last comment, I need to get off IRC and get some sleep. [06:20] godfree: do i need to chroot [06:20] zenlunatic: but wouldnt that affect regular file upload as well? [06:20] foul_owl: yes sudo chroot /mnt/repair su [06:21] missed that [06:21] than type the last command [06:21] thanks Jordan_U [06:21] i've created a launcher for terminal...whats the command to set the size of the terminal window? [06:21] yeah, i'm not getting anywhere. wonder if i should boot the live CD and reinstall grub from there [06:21] godfree, ah [06:21] chroot: i call it change root changes the working directory.. if im correct [06:22] no [06:22] cd changes the cwd [06:22] god im tired [06:22] abuayyoub: It's not mountable currently *don't try to mount it*. Run fsck with it unmounted. I need to leave now. [06:22] ignore that [06:22] inertial: You're welcome. [06:22] Cabezon: probably a good idea, i'm only wondering if you installed grub to a secondary drive, instead of the first one. [06:22] Jordan_U: ok thank you man. go sleep :) have a nice night. [06:22] change root right? [06:22] heh. you know, that wouldn't be the first time that's happened [06:23] abuayyoub: You're welcome :) [06:23] Cabezon: in which case you might be able to tell bios to boot from secondary [06:23] it changes the root directory for all processes [06:23] jesus. that's where grub went [06:23] When I try to run my GL application, I get this error: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". [06:23] doesn't make me happy, but if it works....:) [06:23] thats like mistaking cout and cin [06:24] imo [06:24] godfree: http://pastie.org/1021412 [06:24] did you use chroot? [06:24] yes [06:25] but x is still running, at least on the live cd [06:25] but if i chrooted, it shouldn't matter [06:25] foul_owl: i know, i ned your hardrive /dev/??? [06:25] you gave me the liveCD [06:26] How do I check my monitor refresh rate? It doesn't say in xorg.conf. [06:26] cant comprehend in this state how to get that lol, its a simple task but [06:26] Preferably through command window. [06:26] nice. my 1TB drive is seen as an unknown format--windows 7 decided for some reason that the two partitions on it needed to be dynamic [06:26] godfree: ? [06:26] hopefully installing grub on it didn't blow up all the data on it. that's a lot to recover [06:27] foul_owl: click file and it should have a disk option. /dev/something and another option /dev/sda1 give me the second [06:27] Hey my question is important. I just had serious vertigo and its messed me up for weeks. Please some sympathy, lol [06:27] foul: this is in gparted [06:27] my root partition is on /dev/sda1 [06:28] whats the --geometry command to set the terminal window size [06:28] *"--geometry" [06:28] is it possible in ubuntu to change dynamic partitions to proper ones or at least install something so ubuntu can read dynamic partitions? === rollman is now known as SuperSmooth [06:28] fowl_owl: is there another one like that like hda1 [06:28] or am i completely screwed unless i reinstall windows? [06:29] ubuntu uses sdx now [06:29] <_jesse_> nowimproved: try xrandr -q [06:29] hmm [06:29] hi guys, why can't i use my wn321g with lucid? [06:29] looks like its 60 or even less, that's probably not good === ubuntu_ is now known as Veil_L [06:30] zenlunatic: so as for uploading, when I try to upload the image i get Permission Denied [06:30] <_jesse_> nowimproved: you coudl set it with xrandr --rate 75 or whatever [06:30] iirc [06:30] foul_owl: sdx1 for you? [06:30] <_jesse_> only persists for the current session though [06:30] :P [06:31] a5h15h: gnome-terminal --geometry 48x24 [06:31] no, i mean ubuntu doesn't use hdx anymore, it uses sdx [06:31] zenlunatic: error id i think is 550 [06:31] root partition is /dev/sda1 [06:31] foul: that is your liveCD though [06:31] i know you have to shut down x to recongiure it, but it shouldnt matter because i chrooted right? [06:32] yackrr, ain't working [06:33] foul: try this [06:33] heh. just from reading online, i'm guessing no-go on getting those partitions to be seen by ubuntu [06:33] yackrr, its working...i was substituting x with * [06:34] good. [06:34] godfree, can you just pastebin your xorg.conf please [06:34] http://pastie.org/1021405 [06:35] if that doesnt work change hda to hda1 or hd1 [06:35] Cabezon: i had to look it up, that's the first i've even heard of windows 'dynamic disks' [06:35] if you can boot into the machine just run Xorg -configure [06:35] already did that [06:35] it was already mounted, i already chrooted it [06:35] Xorg -configure on the broken machine restores Xorg [06:36] foul: not exactly, you chrooted into the usb :p [06:36] wb [06:36] How can I recursively set permission of all the enclosed files (excluding diretories) to 0775? [06:36] yackrr, thanks... [06:36] change the 2 line to sda1 or sd1 [06:36] whichever works [06:36] dude, the dirve i chrooted to is 200 gigs, its not the usb.... [06:37] thune3: it's something retarded where windows maintains the partition information and not the drive [06:37] foul: ok type this 'cd ~ && ls' [06:37] what does it show? [06:37] is there loudness control for linux? [06:37] a5h15h: welcome [06:37] Hello, I need your help please. I need to make a big playlist with hundreds of files of different cartoons for my son on his Ubuntu laptop. The playlist - i can organize, but i would like to do something so that when he opens the player, they continue playing from where they stopped the last time. He is 5. [06:38] i've never trusted it so i always create "primary" partitions. i decided to resize a partition one day, and bam. both partitions suddenly became dynamic\ [06:38] or ls ~ LOL [06:38] i am way too tired [06:38] bash: cd: /home/ubuntu: No such file or directory [06:38] can you just please just send me your xorg.conf [06:38] foul: you are still in the usb =) [06:38] i have a funny question to ask. when i installed ubuntu i copied over my setting from a linux mint install now theres a space on my firefox browser with all linux mint links, i deleted the links but now i have a space between my address bar and where the web page is viewed, how can i get rid of this? [06:38] will x use xorg.conf if i just reate that file [06:39] Jesus, I've asked ten different things here over the course of several months, and no one has once answered. Are my messages getting through? [06:39] foul: Xorg -configure CREATES A BRAND NEW XORG [06:39] it doesnt work! [06:39] josh: yes? [06:39] Well, screw my luck [06:39] high [06:39] foul: NOT IN THE LIVE CD restart and select ubuntu safemode or what the heck ever [06:39] Cabezon: i would *think* some sort of recovery is possible. gotta run. good luck. [06:40] exit [06:40] godfree: how do i load safe mode? [06:41] Jack2000: are those cartoonsare video? [06:41] btw, thanks for the help!! :) [06:41] yes cordor [06:41] foul: reboot and at the grub stage.. shoot i think 10.04 hides the bootloader [06:41] .avi [06:42] how can play file " .flv"?? please [06:42] hello guys, how can i make my b43 work instead of the STA ones? [06:42] godfree: how can edit "grub" to bootloader? [06:43] Jack2000: i think you have to write your own interface. [06:43] Iraqi: are you ok [06:43] i have no idea how to do that :( [06:43] Iraqi have you tried VLC [06:43] <_jesse_> Iraqi: VLC should be able to play flv's [06:44] sudo apt-get vlc [06:44] guys, what else is there to do with an extra server on a network [06:44] can you please assist me cordor if it's quick ? [06:44] if you already have a file/print serer [06:44] <_jesse_> SlikerT: sudo apt-get install vlc :P [06:44] SlikerT: Thank , Please how can install VLC? [06:44] my bad [06:44] Iraqi: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [06:44] open terminal [06:44] and sudo apt-get install vlc [06:44] jesse: Thank, Please how install it that [06:44] <_jesse_> Iraqi: what SlikerT said :) [06:44] cordor : Thank you very much [06:45] no one seems to know the answer? [06:45] hello, I am in /var/www I can't see some folders because of authorisation, when I try to click, no password is asked and access is just denied [06:45] onix [06:45] press alt F2 [06:46] and then the run command appears type gksudo nautilus [06:46] then type the root password, then it'll open up window manager as root [06:46] is there anyway i can convert .swf files into .mp3 files? [06:46] SlikerT: thanks, works [06:46] does anyone know which repository I can use to get the newest version of GNS3 0.7.2 so I don't have to compile to source? [06:47] totoro use mplayer [06:47] Ego_Proctor, do you have packet tracer? [06:47] Jay2, highly depends on your chipset and ubuntu version you have installed [06:47] What about " Grub" how can change option in list or edit grup place windows be first??! [06:48] how come my VLC output is always ascii art? [06:48] haha [06:48] psycho_oreos, I am using 10.04 and my chipset is rt73 [06:48] I already have my CCNA I need to work with CCNP and CCIE stuff [06:48] Jay2, sounds like rt73 is usb variant :) its a different chipset, different brand entirely [06:48] comsa, it said GStreamer encountered a general library supporting error [06:49] i have a package that partially removed then failed. now it doesn't want to be removed. is there any way to force an apt-get remove to work? [06:49] ciao [06:49] psycho_oreos, so how do i go on making this work? in bt3/4 this works w/out any problem [06:49] why would a process defined in /etc/init/foo.conf be started more than once? [06:49] Jay2, you know what I mean..? [06:49] in ubuntu, i can't make it to work :( [06:49] totoro dose file have flv ext [06:49] comsa, excuse me? [06:49] comsa, the file is .swf [06:50] Ego_Proctor, where can i download packet tracer for ubuntu? [06:50] optimus55 [06:50] from the cisco netacad site. [06:50] Jay2, you should be using rt73usb which is provided natively in kernel and it should work out of the box.. I believe the firmware should also be included in ubuntu, if not, you can grab it from the repository [06:50] type sudo apt-get install -f [06:50] how do i get the firmware? [06:50] you need to be a member of the CISCO network academy to get it [06:50] How i can my laptop support taple "touch screen"? any code or link please [06:50] then that should fix your broken dependencies [06:50] when i do lsmod | grep rt73 [06:50] <_jesse_> Iraqi: edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but be careful [06:50] there is no firmware once you have packet tracer. [06:50] it doesnt show anything at all :( [06:51] Jay2, normally you shouldn't check with lsusb [06:51] jesse: Thank you [06:51] mplayer -dumpaudio your file -dumpfile newfile [06:51] Jay2, err I meant iwconfig [06:51] newfile.mp3 [06:51] ohh [06:51] i didnt know that. [06:51] this is my 2nd week on using ubuntu :D [06:51] I've never heard of packet tracer, that's either some fancy gimmick or some really customised/tailored program [06:52] so where do i download the firmware for rt73usb psycho_oreos? [06:52] Jay2, you should at minimum have wlan0 interface, that will be your wireless, if you have onboard wireless and it uses a community built derivative (usually) the usb one may appear as wlan1 instead of wlan0 [06:53] Jay2, like I said you normally don't need to, try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [06:53] What's the best mplayer video output for .avi xvid files? I need the best quality and colors with no smoothened video from it. [06:53] but i dont have wlan0 :( [06:53] why would a process defined in /etc/init/foo.conf be started more than once? [06:53] Jack2000 try Vlc [06:53] Jay2, pastebin your dmesg output [06:53] can someone please pastebin their xorg.conf [06:53] !pastebin | Jay2 [06:53] Jay2: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [06:54] jesse: Error : The file or folder file:///boot/grub/grub.cfg does not exist.??!!! [06:54] SlikerT, are you sure ? vlc is really bad I heard... [06:54] need help setting up wireless printer using cups, USB works but wireless doesnot, I can ping the printer ip and it's connected. any guess where I am going wrong [06:54] VLC is always worked pretty well for me [06:54] on what output ? [06:54] dmesg [06:54] all of them?

Thank [06:55] can someone please pastebin their xorg.conf [06:55] <_jesse_> Iraqi: hit alt-F2 and type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:56] foul_owl: what do you want to accomplish? most of the time it's fine if it's empty. [06:56] jesse: Thank you Very much :-x [06:56] i cant explain, but please help [06:56] lol um...ok? what's the problem foul_owl [06:56] foul_owl: mine is empty, there is nothing to pastebin. [06:56] psycho_oreos, i just did the paste.ubuntu.com [06:56] trust me, you will help me so much [06:57] all i need is a blank one, with the line referencing the video driver [06:57] Jay2, now you will need to copy and paste me that new link [06:57] psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/456238/ <- this one? [06:57] fish [06:57] Jay2, that's it [06:57] its too hard to explain, just need a blank one with the line referncing the video driver [06:57] foul_owl: just google for xorg.conf, you'll find plenty of examples if that's what you need. [06:57] jesse: Sorry, Nothing happen [06:57] what is pastebinit? [06:58] <_jesse_> foul_owl: this is what I've got http://pastebin.com/CbmQBCVP [06:58] Jay2, pastebin is a website that lets you paste stuff, like configs and such, and then pastelinks into chat [06:59] ahhh thank you so much!!! [06:59] <_jesse_> Iraqi: ? if you have 10.04 it should be /boot/grub/grub.cfg [06:59] pastebinit lets you auto pastebin output from terminal commands [06:59] ohh [06:59] like cat xorg.conf | pastebinit [06:59] then it returns the web address for your pastebin to the ternimal [06:59] so i can do [06:59] how make my Linux support "Touch Screen" my laptop is HP Pailion tx 2500? [07:00] dmesg | pastebinit [07:00] sure [07:00] lemme try [07:00] if you install pastebinit first. [07:00] jesse : is 8 not 10 , sorry [07:00] <_jesse_> Iraqi: ah then yes, you should be right, it is likely /boot/grub/menu.list [07:01] hi all.. has anyone used vmware workstation before? I'm getting 'Could not connect ethernet0 to virtual device /dev/vmnet0' :( i use 'bridge' networking [07:01] if I do a sudo wget in the command line does it download to the directory I am in? [07:01] jesse: right, so how now edit file menu.lst please? [07:01] <_jesse_> Iraqi: with a text editor [07:01] Ego_Proctor: yes [07:01] this pastebinit is cool [07:02] jesse: Thank you [07:02] psycho_oreos, http://pastebin.com/4N8Gstw6 [07:02] cool! [07:02] rww, thanks [07:03] jesse: is many txt how change place windows be first please? [07:03] Jay2, think I know where the problem is, you have both broadcom wireless chipset (built-in) using proprietary driver and you also have ralink device.. but the ralink device isn't working because you either did an update via backports or manual install of compat-wireless or something which causes lots of errors about the driver (in which this case being rt2x00 lib part of ralink open source driver) [07:03] <_jesse_> Iraqi: pastebin the file and I'll change it for you [07:04] :( [07:04] but i uninstalled all the backports [07:04] Jay2, did you do anything like that? [07:04] ahh [07:04] yes [07:04] I think the way to solve it is to try and do depmod -a [07:04] jesse: sorry, what you mean? [07:04] because i was trying to make my broadcom to be detected as wlan [07:04] err sudo depmod -a [07:04] ok so I am assuming from the context of the command I just entered wget is Web get...? as opposed to apt-get [07:04] and not eth1 [07:04] what is the generic driver for xorg.conf? vga? svga? [07:05] Jay2, that won't happen, that's because its broadcom's native proprietary driver [07:05] <_jesse_> Iraqi: copy the file here http://pastebin.com/ [07:05] foul_owl, I think its vesa [07:05] thanks!! [07:05] jesse: ok ..wait [07:05] meaning i cant make it to be wlan??? no matter what i do? [07:05] hi all.. has anyone used vmware on ubuntu before? I'm getting 'Could not connect ethernet0 to virtual device /dev/vmnet0' :( i use 'bridge' networking [07:05] Jay2, well no I lied, you can make it appear as wlanX via hacking udev but that won't make any difference [07:06] Jay2, what are you trying to achieve with having wl appear as wlanX anyway? [07:06] what is the comment symbol for xorg.conf [07:06] psycho_oreos, conky wont display the ssid, signal strength [07:06] <_jesse_> foul_owl: # [07:06] thanks [07:07] if I do a sudo tar -xjvg and nothing is happening, has my machine command frozen or is it just not showing any output? [07:07] that is for the broadcom builtin [07:07] Jay2, lol conky config can be changed for that matter, so you have two choices, to either hack udev or to modify conky config [07:07] i see, but conky is my 2nd priority. my first is to make my usb wifi working [07:07] <_jesse_> Ego_Proctor: it shoud show output with the -v option [07:07] yeah for that matter I'd try doing sudo depmod -a [07:08] that is what I thought... [07:08] hrm [07:08] <_jesse_> Ego_Proctor: cntrl-c it and try again I suppose [07:09] are there any issues with the new nvidia drivers -v256.35 [07:09] hello to all [07:09] has anyone heard about the linuxdnaproject? [07:09] anyone had success running boxee on lucid successfully? [07:09] yes its fine [07:09] what's linuxdanaproject?

[07:12] hey guys [07:12] ohh [07:12] i dont know. [07:12] <_jesse_> Iraqi: yes? you never gave me a link to the file [07:13] anyone ever setup selinux on an ubuntu server (preferablly 10.04) [07:13] psycho_oreos, how do i make sure that all the compat-wireless stuff and the backports are completely removed [07:13] jesse: i posted it on your site gave me [07:13] that might be the issue. if you have 90% of the new cards u need to enable them [07:13] hi all how do i restore grub back from live cd mode. i deleted an os i did not use adn it was teh one with grub [07:13] <_jesse_> Iraqi: right, now give me the link :) [07:13] how?

[07:14] when power on my linux show me error in PWF and PLL error is not found ? How fix it please? [07:14] coolstacy: wait, i forgot [07:14] :( [07:15] does apt-cache pkgnames list all the currently installed package in your system? [07:15] how can support my linux to be "touch screen" " taple" ??? [07:15] lint: all other games are working like alien arena. [07:15] is there a way to get a list of ips currently going through iptables nat? [07:15] Jay2 an easy way to see all packages on your system is to go //var/cache/apt/archives [07:16] does anyone here use linux [07:16] afed I do [07:16] Jay2, I know dpkg -l does :) or you can use aptitude search [07:16] SlikerT: are you sure [07:16] lint: r u there. [07:16] lol [07:16] coolstacy: maybe [07:16] guru [07:16] afed: we all do lolz [07:16] ya [07:16] checking now [07:16] Jay2, err dpkg -l | grep or aptitude search [07:17] somebody will help me to install eclipse in ubuntu9.10 [07:17] p [07:17] o [07:17] what is linux [07:17] lint: i dont understand ur last message. [07:17] coolstacy: where are you from? [07:17] afed, are you serious, or trolling? [07:17] afed, stop trolling [07:17] lint: India. [07:17] zoidfarb: would you expect a troll to admit trolling at this point? [07:17] why even ask? [07:17] no traces of backports or compat wireless [07:18] i asked a question here a few hours ago [07:18] will repeat now that i have attention [07:18] hi [07:18] i am confused about ubuntu 64 bit version not being recommended [07:18] why isn't it recommended? i'd rather use it if i could [07:18] hello grub help plese anyone know [07:18] afed, it is recomended i have it [07:18] <_jesse_> Iraqi: make a copy of your current file (type 'sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.list /boot/grub/ment.list.bak' and then replace the contents of /boot/grub/menu.list with http://pastebin.com/tmJ14svy [07:18] afed: Who told you it wasn't recommended? [07:18] the front page of ubuntu's web site [07:18] afed, there is some software that is not available for the 64 bit version, and other software that works, but is more of a hassle to set up [07:18] use if you have 4gb+ ram [07:18] Hello, people. How do I change the language in which short descriptions in the Ubuntu software center is displayed? My locale is in English, system interface language is English, but for some reason the text there is in Russian. [07:18] lint: r u there. [07:18] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [07:19] afed, so if you don't know what you're doing, you're better off with 32-bit [07:19] 32-bit - Recommended for most users [07:19] 64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage [07:19] afed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [07:19] coolstacy: sorta, idont know anything [07:19] Is it safe to distupgrade from 6.06 LTS to 10.04? [07:19] afed: That's a bug. The people Canonical had do the redesign of the website don't know what they're talking about. [07:19] Jay2, compat-wireless afaik wouldn't appear under dpkg or aptitude because the filename and the way you have to install compat-wireless is completely different and therefore does not depend on debian's package management system [07:19] abhi_nav: hi [07:19] afed, the adobe flash plugin is an example of software that newbs will expect to "just work" but is not easily available on 64-bit (because Adobe doesn't really support it, as I understand) [07:19] afed, What should I choose - 32 or 64 bit? [07:19] Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit. [07:19] coolstacy, hi [07:19] flash is so 90s [07:19] barfster: You'll have to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 and then from 8.04 to 10.04, but yes, those are safe. [07:19] i have a problem. [07:19] afed, that is the sentence on second last para on that page [07:20] ic [07:20] @grubrestore you didn't say your problem [07:20] Flannel: ic [07:20] does any one know how to install eclipse in ubuntu for php editing [07:20] thx everyone [07:20] Flannel: is there a need for a how-to? [07:20] so what's the best solution for now :(( [07:20] which protocol should I use with brother printer: on their website they recommend: lpd://(Your printer's IP address)/binary_p1, but it does not work, help? [07:20] jesse: you edit the menu.lst "http://pastebin.com/J4FKhmKi" then i copy/past code on my file [07:20] Jay2, did you try what I said before? sudo depmod -a [07:20] coolstacy, what? [07:20] so make them change the damn web site anyway [07:20] barfster: This page links to upgrade notes (including howtos) for both of them (obviously, they're separate pages): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:21] gk_ have you tried here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE [07:21] barfster: Specifically https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From%207.10%20or%206.06%20LTS%20to%208.04%20LTS and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From%209.10%20or%208.04%20LTS%20to%2010.04%20LTS [07:21] nope, not yet. lemme try [07:21] no [07:21] <_jesse_> Iraqi: right, I edited already, here: http://pastebin.com/tmJ14svy [07:21] anyone here know's C programming? ..?> [07:21] jesse: Thank you very much [07:21] whats the kick VirusTB [07:21] gk_: try that. It looks like it's available in the repositories. There's also some info here: http://flurdy.com/docs/eclipse/install.html [07:22] I have a problem with Apache and MySQL queries [07:22] afed, you can tell them. as you face the problem. [07:22] thanks zoidfarb [07:22] what does depmod -a do? [07:22] psycho_oreos, ive done the depmod -a [07:23] barfster: whats the deal with mysql queries [07:23] I have a problem with Apache and MySQL queries, running MySQL on command line is smooth as a breeze, querying MySQL through php and apache is brutaly slow. [07:23] hi, can anyone recommend a good HOWTO for sharing files between ubuntu and XP clients (using samba) ? [07:23] goign to install 64bit [07:23] Jay2, try man depmod :) [07:23] Sound like a DNS problem, however DNS is good. [07:23] Jay2, depmod loads kernel modules. I would assume that depmod -a loads all the available ones? [07:23] kickingintender, im a new to C progrmamming and need some assistance with this problem im doing online [07:23] i think u need performance tuning dude [07:23] Jay2, now try unplugging and replugging in the usb [07:23] ohhh [07:23] afed, Happy 64bitting :) [07:23] <_jesse_> VirusTB: not really the right channel for such questions [07:23] virus whats the problemo [07:23] kickingintender: how to tweak it?

[07:29] Iraqi, what about them? [07:29] Iraqi, its that three masqatires [07:29] because i've read from the forums that if i want to make my b43 work [07:29] i should uninstall it [07:29] Hello [07:29] abhi_nav: do u know any game equivalent to mario.

[07:32] Jay2, experience with having as much exposure to linux as possible (even to the point of having it installed on home computers) but that's really offtopic :) [07:32] itai_michaelson, welcome :) [07:32] abhi_nav: thnks [07:32] ?

[07:33] hi [07:33] When i login in GDM it just shows black screen and gets back in gdm login screen [07:33] psych_oreos: i want my linux found this driver like in windows [07:33] better yet is to install backports or use compat-wireless.. and if those doesn't work you can try getting wireless-testing.. searching for atheros would probably yield madwifi which is the ancient atheros driver for linux [07:33] gk__, have you treid searchig in ubuntu software center? i found this e..g gphpedit [07:34] Iraqi, and it should be found :) pastebin me your lspci -nnk output [07:34] yes [07:34] IConrad01: i want download driver this device : WLAN Card USB Atheros ar5523? how?

[07:34] itai_michaelson, there is an ap called 'System ino' search under accessoried catogory. it wll be helpful [07:34] i want some xdebug facility [07:34] IConrad01: yeah [07:35] IConrad01: i am in console atm [07:35] psycho_oreos: Please can you tell me more clear? [07:35] Iraqi: The default/"generic" driver for Linux should be feature-complete. [07:35] jesse: Thank you very much is .................. DONE [07:35] :that's why i want to try eclipse [07:35] gk__, you may get more correct help in ##php [07:35] IConrad01: also rested xorg configs to low reso but still no [07:35] <_jesse_> Iraqi: no problem :) [07:35] IConrad01: what you mean? [07:35] Iraqi, open up a terminal and type in "lspci -nnk" (without quotes), copy the output.. open up your web browser, point to www.pastebin.com and paste it in there.. hit submit and paste me the link from the address bar [07:35] what should i do now :(( [07:35] gk__, yes eclipse is good. but its litttle heavy. i use eclipse,netbeans,codelite [07:35] should i reinstall backports? [07:36] Iraqi: That normally you don't need special drivers for wifi cards, in Ubuntu. [07:36] hey can someone help me realy quick? [07:36] The ones that come w/ the disro are feature-complete. [07:36] miica: Actually that's sounding like an error w/ GNOME, not Xorg. [07:36] Jay2, I'd give that a try imo.. there's no point getting the internal wireless to work with b43 as it isn't supported yet [07:36] netbeens is also not working proper in my system [07:36] miica: Can you re-install GNOME maybe? [07:36] checked /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log and it says Failed to open saved session fail /var/lib/gdm/.confg.... [07:36] ok [07:36] miica: Actually, first, try making a new user and seeing if the problem persists across logins. [07:36] gday..... is anyone using virtualbox with XP as guest? if so.... am I the only one who is seeing inconsistent performance ? also... the CPU speed is terribly slow.. :( [07:36] so only backports? or including compat-wireless? [07:37] IConrad01: tried it and didint work [07:37] gk__, there are other ide too. you may want to try them. google it [07:37] just execute "useradd X" and then "password X" -- choose your new password and then there you go. [07:37] ok thanks abhi [07:37] IConrad01: it also says there isnt default session set [07:37] i just installed ubuntu. anyways one most youtube videos and some online games, when ever i click "start" or "play" or something like that, NOTHING happens. what should i do. [07:37] Jay2, just install backports, its less tedious for a beginner :) [07:37] <_jesse_> elias_: you need to install a flash plugin [07:37] elias, have you installed flash? [07:37] done [07:37] IConrad01: adduser is better than useradd [07:37] yup [07:37] let's i m going to try and come back [07:37] <_jesse_> elias_: 64 or 32 bit ? [07:38] 64 [07:38] miica: Try the new user route. Short of that, from GDM you should be able to set defaults for your session w/o logging in first. [07:38] !netsplit [07:38] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [07:38] gk__, ok. nad dont copy paste nick. just type initial letters and then press tab [07:38] psycho_oreos: Please check out this link: http://pastebin.com/Jp5x0NaM [07:38] <_jesse_> elias_: yeah I've had trouble with 64 bit and flash before too [07:38] so what do i do [07:38] is it a 'show'? [07:38] ok [07:38] psycho_oreos, then after installing i should restart? [07:38] <_jesse_> elias_: one sec [07:38] IConrad01: there wasnt any session options in my GDM :/ [07:38] jesse: which bit is better : 32 or 64? [07:39] Iraqi, hmm, is the atheros built-in or usb? [07:39] Jay2, well, I dunno personally, I'd try doing sudo depmod -a and see if usb will work (after unplugging and plugging it back in).. failing that I'd restart (as the last resort, normally you don't have to) [07:39] elias_: i think its a bug in the 64bit flash plugin, i use the 32bit one for that reason [07:39] _jesse_: see above [07:40] is that what you did? [07:40] miica: What's in your gdm.conf file? [07:40] psycho_oreos: i have two wireless USB " WLAN Atheros ar5523" and input " Braodcom apdater "? [07:40] psycho_oreos, i tried installing it, then did the depmod -a and tried unplug/plug. still same dmesg output :( [07:40] hmm. i like linux but sometimes i wish i had windows or something. thanks guys [07:40] Iraqi, ahh atheros usb, that isn't really supported fully as yet however [07:40] way to wait for help dude.. [07:40] have fun with windows :P [07:41] Jay2, yeah I'd try restart and see if it works, its an issue resolving symbols which normally depmod -a should fix but then again [07:41] ok [07:41] brb [07:41] <_jesse_> Sereph: damn I was juat about to give him a link too, yeah I think I use the 32 bit with nsfwrapper or whatever [07:41] <_jesse_> not on that computer atm [07:41] psycho_oreos: for aircrack which one now is support " Atheros ar5523" or my braodcom apdater" ? [07:41] please [07:41] _jesse_: I installed 32bit firefox [07:41] Iraqi, that's why I'm seeing only broadcom in lspci listing [07:41] IConrad01: where that conf is :o === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:42] Iraqi, neither I'm afraid, there's no b43 support from bcm4322 (which has n-phy) and atheros usb is probably in preliminary stages of support [07:42] miica: /etc/init/gdm.conf [07:42] Iraqi, pastebin me your lsusb output [07:42] psycho_oreos: i'm new in linux so can be clear please [07:42] IConrad01: dont have it thats why didint find it :D [07:42] how? [07:42] Iraqi, I'll have a closer look at the exact chipset [07:43] miica: Well, that sounds like it's the issue right there. [07:43] Iraqi, neither of them will support aircrack out of the box.. meaning that you have to do excessive amounts of work and can only hope.. there's no hope with broadcom one.. but atheros you might [07:43] IConrad01: yeah i think so too where i get new conf :P [07:44] From the pastebin link I'm about to give you. [07:44] Copying *my* gdm.conf file. :) [07:44] Iraqi, understand now? [07:44] http://pastebin.com/0Uyjrkm1 [07:45] psycho_oreos: come PM i give you again the code because i wasn't contact my USB Atheros [07:45] Also -- execute a "sudo find / | grep gdm.conf" -- let's just be sure you haven't got one at all. [07:45] /etc/init/gdm.conf and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf should show... [07:45] Iraqi, why pm when you can give me the link to your pastebin for lsusb output? [07:45] IConrad01: can you link "raw" version link [07:46] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=0Uyjrkm1 [07:46] q [07:46] These are the locations it should be in: /etc/init/gdm.conf [07:46] /etc/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf [07:46] /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.conffiles [07:46] /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.config [07:46] Bonjour [07:46] how make lsusb? [07:47] psycho_oreos: what i write on terminal? [07:47] Iraqi, same steps as with lspci -nnk but instead of typing lspci -nnk, you type in lsusb [07:47] !fr | ychoucha [07:47] ychoucha: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [07:48] psycho_oreos: so now i type lspci -nnk? and post on site? right? [07:48] no [07:48] Iraqi, no you type "lsusb" (without quotes) and you paste the output to pastebin [07:49] psycho_oreos: so i type just " lsusb " then post it? right now? [07:49] yes [07:49] Iraqi, yes [07:49] without quotes [07:49] no dont post directly. use pastebin [07:49] wait...............

[08:10] same with if someone messages u [08:10] join more than 1 channel and it should light up on activity [08:10] !connection sharing [08:10] aretrfre34: http://pastebin.com/RjzKXgWH [08:10] read the fine manual, Adem ;) [08:10] psycho_oreos: you was helpful but after you know my kernel ....made me sad ..thank you any way.. [08:10] oh i can see it, its like light pink not red [08:10] can barely see it [08:10] !ics | aretrfre34 [08:10] MikeChelan: I see. Instead of a new user?

[08:11] maybe no idea [08:11] but read up on their docs it gets easier after time [08:11] lag: yep exactly, so they can see what i'm doing, and i can control things on the display (such as starting or stopping a movie) [08:12] it is hard at first, Adem , but easier eventually [08:12] and i am away now, gl [08:12] Adem, but you are using xchat... so what does terminator have to do with it ? [08:12] ask #irssi after google if you get any more questions, Adem [08:12] anyone know a good online 'movie' watching software? free? with ads ok [08:12] air im on xchat with Adem and irssi with adammm [08:12] !ot | abhi_nav [08:12] abhi_nav: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:12] IdleOne, ok [08:12] abhi_nav: Miro? [08:13] ^ [08:13] thanks [08:13] 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? [08:13] abhi_nav: hulu desktop is available for ubuntu [08:13] MikeChelen, only for US :( [08:13] icehawk78: what file system is it using? FAT? [08:13] icehawk78, last time i checked usb drives could only use fat32? hence no permission bits ? === SuperSmooth is now known as tixtox [08:13] MikeChelen, i mean hulu is available only for us [08:14] how can i run multiple networks on irssi? [08:14] abhi_nav: oh too bad [08:14] hmm [08:14] So, I think I've tried too many patches trying to get my sound to work again. Can someone please help me completely purge & reinstall the default Ubuntu sound system? [08:14] Slart / airtonix: NTFS [08:15] icehawk78, then what makes you think chown will work on that ? [08:15] I'm trying to symlink it in my apache public directory, and it's giving a 403. [08:15] skamster:pastebin $mount /dev/sd (hit Tab twice) [08:15] airtonix: A lack of knowledge on the subject? [08:16] icehawk78, as far as i am aware chown and chmod will not affect fat or ntfs filesystems [08:17] are XD cards still not happening in Ubuntu? [08:18] airtonix: Hm... so when I mount it, is there an option to make it accessible to all users? I have a local account that I want to be able to access for video playback, but the apache user for web stuff [08:19] zetheroo it would depend on drivers for your reader i guess [08:19] MikeChelen: Use the 'shadow' service [08:19] koshari: really? do you know of anyone running Ubuntu who can read them? [08:20] does anyone know where teh image file for the ubuntu logo next to the stock menu is? [08:20] i make a point of buying stuff that uses sd as i have cards and readers [08:20] lint, you want logo? you can get it from google image? [08:20] i've modem cdma, in windows it can as modem n make a call... in ubuntu of course the modem function work ...can the ubuntu make a call too? [08:20] abhi_nav: explain please [08:21] lint, what do you want? [08:21] hi I'm newish to ubuntu can some teach me how to add repositories quickly? [08:21] koshari: sure ... me too .... mostly because it actually works in Linux ... but I am just wondering if any progress is being made with XD cards and readers etc ... [08:21] lint, it dpends on the icon theme you are using. [08:21] lag: hmm what is that? [08:21] zetheroo is the file system they use exotic? [08:22] farvito, Menu>System>Administration>Software Sources [08:22] are there any 64-bit applications available (i haven't seen any yet) and if so will ubuntu software managers and others downloads tell users that it is only for 64-bit? [08:22] MikeChelen: http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR11B00098 [08:22] koshari: I don't think so ... [08:22] :) [08:22] hello people, how will we install dosbox offline, offline meaning not connected in the internet just using USB only? [08:22] MikeChelen: Do you have NX in the Applications -> Internet menu? [08:23] lint ? [08:23] lag: i have freenx server installed through PPA, and use QtNX as client [08:24] hey guys [08:24] I suggest using nxclient from NoMachine [08:24] http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=2037 [08:24] airtonix: im using ubuntu mono dark [08:24] airtonix: the one that appears light, like sand [08:25] mikechelen nomachine is the simplest way to make remote desktop call, i agree with lag... it works superb for me [08:25] thank you slidinghorn [08:25] lag: only freenx is open source though [08:25] yeah first time booting 10.04 live cd gives me a headache, first i/o error. then getpwid error, see what take 3 brings [08:25] mae_tae, apt-get requires an internet connection...if you don't have one on the computer you need to install on, you can download the repos contents and use aptoncd...see below: [08:25] !aptoncd | mae_tae [08:25] mae_tae: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [08:26] for the past few days, compiz crashes every time my wireless reconnects, compiz devs say ubuntu added a patch to compiz that's causing it.. why would ubuntu go messing with packages? [08:26] ah ok, ill try that [08:26] fishcooker: NX works nicely for me too it is just strange that VNC is so laggy even on high-speed lan. also need some way to use NX to control desktop of user that is already logged in [08:26] !aptoncd [08:26] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [08:27] oh yeah success on 3rd boot [08:27] !offline [08:27] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [08:27] MikeChelen: Then you'll have to do it the hard way :) [08:28] xork: what have u done with your sound [08:28] what does the dvd of ubuntu contain.....does it have more packages? [08:28] ubottu: apt-proxy is nice [08:28] airtonix: any ideas? [08:28] lag: freenx might support the same session shadowing as nomachine NX [08:28] gah [08:29] MikeChelen: I would have thought so [08:29] slidinghorn, i've downloaded already the deb, how will i instal it? can use usb for that? [08:29] MikeChelen: Google is your friend [08:29] yeah I disovered 10.04 boots when you swear at it [08:29] if you have the deb file, simply double click it and it will open a dialog asking if you want to install it [08:30] MikeChelen: freenx shadow [08:30] mikechelen i think nomachine built based on freenx [08:30] lint, yes look in /usr/share/icons [08:30] does anyone knows why i have 8gb available in system monitor using kernel 2.6.33 and NOT shown in 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 [08:30] fishcooker: yup it is the open source branch [08:30] lag: thanks im reading that link now [08:31] MikeChelen: No problem. Good luck [08:31] ah, thanks slidinghorn [08:32] I wanted to test GNOME/KDE/Lubuntu/etc -- Any different distros too. Without messing with my primary system. What would be the best way? I don't want to use virtual. [08:32] red2kic: new partition? [08:32] lint, 1) all gtk icon themes will be 'based' on a parent icon theme, which means that if the icon theme does not provide a certain icon, then the system falls back to the parent icon theme (etc etc) 2) all gtk icon themes have a particular icon naming system, but the icon you are looking for might be symlinked to several names... so at first you may think you have the icon you want but you need to be sure. [08:32] I thought about multiple hard drives but that's just one possibility. [08:32] red2kic, it's one or the other [08:32] thalib: what kind of stuff 8gb available, memory or space.disk? [08:32] red2kic: use a livecd? [08:32] red2kic: USB flash drive? [08:33] kermit idk but i was asking about 64-bit apps and wonder if they might change something i look for that to happen when they implement the revised registers not to say that's already happened but i hope they let users know that it's 64-bit or 32-bit apps [08:33] airtonix: tell me where i shoudl start looking? [08:34] im having issues with 64 bit flash it wont let me click things...is there a solution for this? [08:34] fishcooker ram [08:34] lint, i just did. [08:34] thalib: what kind of ubuntu do you used?... server or desktop [08:34] desktop [08:35] lint, /usr/share/icons [08:35] 10.04 [08:35] lint, /usr/share/icons//places//distributor-logo.svg [08:35] thalib [08:35] $ htop [08:35] lint, but don't be fooled into thinking that this would be the icon you are looking for [08:35] I have unwanted white space in my file, especially white space after the end of a line. gedit marks the whole line, so I can't see, where the superfluous white space is. I tried the "advanced_editing" plugin, but it's "reduce white space" works only on the current line, not on a selection of multiple lines. Any suggestions? [08:36] what u get there... if don't have htop ... tried # apt-get install htop [08:36] first [08:36] hmw, regular expressions ? [08:36] fishcooker are u talking to me or someone else [08:36] i think 8gb ram should be detectable with the kernel [08:37] airtonix: I have no hope of creating a regexp on my own. [08:37] my bad thalib ... that's for you [08:37] I wish, i could make gedit not allow white space after the end of a line [08:37] can u come to a private chat [08:37] i have requested [08:37] thalib: i386 or x86-64 version? [08:38] slidinghorn, i tried the one that i downloaded but it when i installed it says depencies error not satisfiable libsound32 [08:38] any one know anything about 64 bit flash? [08:38] where can i download a complete copy [08:38] hmw, gedit does not have "show whitespaces, tabs or end of line' characters but geany does. [08:38] farvito: what do you want to know? [08:38] mae_tae, where'd you get the deb? and what app is it? [08:38] farvito: it's more or less dead at the moment. [08:38] slidinghorn, i choose this site to download that deb http://apt.alturl.com/ [08:38] airtonix: vim with :set list [08:39] ? [08:39] slidinghorn, where will i download it? [08:39] xcv well I installed it and know if I'm playing a flash game clicks dont work and I cant use youtube controls [08:39] iceroot, hell will freeze over before i touch vi or vim [08:39] *now [08:39] airtonix: thanks, checking it out [08:39] airtonix: then use emacs [08:39] mae_tae, what program are you trying to install [08:39] farvito: you installed it how? [08:39] iceroot, not sure why you are suggesting it to me in the first place ? [08:39] i like pico [08:40] much easier [08:40] airtonix: though you are searching for a good editor which can show non-printable-chars [08:40] ... [08:40] dosbox, because i want to run turbo c on it [08:40] zenmower: if you want easy, try "ne" [08:40] slidinghorn, dosbox, because i want to run turbo c on it [08:40] iceroot: it was me asking and i dont need a command line tool. I would like to have gedit do it, if possible. [08:41] sometimes you have to use vi though, not every box has pico [08:41] hmw: emacs is not a commandline-tool :) [08:41] I downloaded it from adobe and then ran "sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/" [08:41] mae_tae, you may have to just keep finding whatever dependencies it comes across if you don't have a network connection on the machine you're installing to [08:41] emacis is an OS, i know [08:41] farvito: ah, OK [08:41] zenmower: viva vim [08:41] hmw: just without a good editor (sorry for offtopic) [08:42] slidinghorn, you're right, i dont have internet connection [08:42] mneptok: did I do it wrong? [08:42] farvito: no [08:42] ok [08:42] yeah it's not bad but i have a hard time remembering if i'm in insert mode or not [08:42] lol [08:43] is it just buggy or something? [08:43] airtonix: the location you gave me only holds cursor themes [08:44] lint, i wish you well on your journey of discovery around those folders. [08:44] zenmower : just hit 'i' [08:44] i know but i forget [08:45] lint, you should also read all the messages i typed to you earlier [08:47] srsly, geany doesnt accept drag & drop from nautilus. But I found something even better! Gedit comes with a (not activated) plugin for external tools, and there is already a "Remove Trailing Space" (sed command) in there! So I am happy again... Thanks though. [08:48] heh no help then? [08:48] zenmower: then hit ':help' [08:48] :D [08:48] or $ vimtutor LoL [08:49] slidinghorn, can you help me find a complete dosbox.deb [08:51] mae_tae, go here, download, and build from source [08:51] http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/ [08:52] slidinghorn, thanks again [08:53] What's that means: Jun 28 15:52:29 toshiba wpa_supplicant[1119]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys [08:56] what is the cmd for viewing running processes? [08:57] ps [08:57] kiamo: "ps aux" or "top" or various others [08:57] thanks guys [08:58] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, after installing the compat-wireless, my wifi is not dead again [08:58] <^Jay2^> *now [08:59] ^Jay2^, you meant backports? [08:59] <^Jay2^> yep psycho_oreos [08:59] ^Jay2^, so the wl doesn't even work? hmm [08:59] <^Jay2^> nope [08:59] <^Jay2^> do you need the lsmod [09:00] <^Jay2^> i am thinking of reinstalling ubuntu [09:00] <^Jay2^> lol [09:00] not really, I think wl needs to be re-compiled for that backport [09:00] <^Jay2^> how do i go on doing that, sorry to be so noob on this [09:01] am back [09:01] well reinstalling would probably be a faster way lol, umm you'll need broadcom-wl sources [09:01] <^Jay2^> lol [09:02] <^Jay2^> can i save my games into a folder [09:02] <^Jay2^> lol downloading them is a pain [09:02] <^Jay2^> :)) [09:02] you probably can, they are in /var/cache/apt/archives I presume [09:04] slidinghorn, i downloaded the tar.gz but how will i install in ubuntu, sorry im really just new to linux [09:04] <^Jay2^> lemme try that [09:04] after i installed a new kernel i lost half of my ram [09:04] any idea [09:05] irssi vs bitchx ? [09:05] thalib: please provide more information. [09:05] thalib: [09:05] i just installed kernl 2.6.34 [09:05] fishcooker can u just open pvt chat [09:05] go to the public chat so we can solve this together [09:06] i dunno [09:06] ok [09:06] i just use xchat [09:06] what u get on $ htop [09:06] thalib: and your ram went from what to what ? [09:06] still the same i think [09:06] now its 3276M available [09:06] 8 gb to 3 gb [09:06] thalib: 32bit kernel? then you need to enable PAE. [09:07] how to enable that [09:07] what happen to the generic one [09:07] ? [09:07] what [09:07] thalib: you need to get a PAE enabled kernel, see if it's available from the same place you got the 2.6.34 one. [09:07] Hi everyone [09:07] how di check that [09:07] <^Jay2^> are there compatibility problems when you use 64bit of ubuntu? [09:08] ^Jay2^: yes. [09:08] <^Jay2^> so better if you use 32bit??? [09:08] ^Jay2^: sometimes, depends. [09:09] here is information regarding 32 bit vs 64 bit : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368607 [09:09] <^Jay2^> ty === MArceLL is now known as Guest65558 [09:09] does anyone know whether it's possible to use grep to search for NUL bytes in my files? [09:09] mae_tae, it's ok...extract the file (in your terminal, type): tar xzf filename [09:10] mae_tae, once you've done that, there should be a README file there that will give you instructions from there [09:10] ah ok thanks again slidinghorn [09:11] hi can anyone help me out with openvpn? [09:11] !anyone | remoy [09:11] remoy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:11] hi~ [09:11] !details | lanks [09:11] lanks: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:12] freeime, do you have a problem? [09:13] <^Jay2^> better if i install 32bit and just enable pae [09:13] <^Jay2^> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [09:13] ? [09:13] ^Jay2^: if you don't have any applications that need more than ~2 gigs of ram each, then most likely yes. [09:13] <^Jay2^> SwedeMike, can you give me an example application that needs more than 2gb [09:14] i've modem cdma, in windows it can do as modem n make a telephone call... in ubuntu of course the modem function work ... but how to make a telephone call like windows [09:14] ^Jay2^: xfs_repair (or _check, I don't remember) [09:14] <^Jay2^> ohh [09:14] <^Jay2^> i dont use that [09:14] <^Jay2^> i dont even know what xfs is [09:14] ^Jay2^: a lot of applications can use as much ram as you allow them, eg: mysql is a good example [09:14] ^Jay2^: there are others, but if you don't know then most likely you don't have one. [09:14] I have openvpn configured to push routes to computers on the lan. Originally it was working, but it has suddenly stopped and I can't work out why. When the client connects to the server it connects successfully, however in the syslog when the client requests the Push_Route the server replies with the details and a "status=1". Is "status=1" an error? [09:15] I just seeing,thankyou [09:15] <^Jay2^> ok a simple question. [09:15] lanks, this is a very specific issue with OpenVPN. Have you tried to ask for help within the OpenVPN community (e.g. forum, mailing lists)? [09:15] <^Jay2^> in windows, when you plug in an external drive with autorun.inf and you have icon=icon.ico [09:16] <^Jay2^> the drive's default icon will change. in ubuntu, how do you go on achieving that? [09:16] Hi folks, I dont have much download quota yet. Is it easy to install 9.10 and then upgrade to get 10.04? [09:16] lanks, and have you tried to repeat the implementation/configuration from scratch? [09:16] ive searched and searched, just thought someone on here might have experience with openvpn, but i guess i'll have to try and post somewhere else [09:16] ^Jay2^: better if i install 32bit and just enable pae... how to enable [09:16] Ruge: to be honest that won't be any different in bandwidth than just downloading 10.04 and installing [09:16] what is there besides DPMS that cause my monitors to go to sleep? [09:16] Ruge, you should go straight to 10.04 ISO install. [09:17] Hmmm [09:17] IConrad01: found problem.. i removed totem earlier so it removed gnome to.. [09:17] damnit, I only have 300MB left for this month :( [09:17] Ruge, you could buy a disc from the Ubuntu site... [09:18] That sounds like a possibility [09:18] or you could find a local LUG and see if that have one [09:18] Ruge, check if you can configure wget to download only the first 100MB of the ISO and then next month you may download the rest. [09:18] Ruge, you can get one sent to you for free but it takes abit longer [09:18] joshmuffin, only Ubuntu members can request ShipIt CD, not everyone. [09:19] Ruge, are there any LUG's in your area? [09:19] I wish i knew :P [09:19] I'll see if I can go to a mates place and download it :) [09:19] !au | Ruge [09:19] Ruge: The Australian Local Community Team has channels here on Freenode. They are #ubuntu-au for technical discussion, and #ubuntu-au-chat for social chatter. [09:19] Oh, back in the day I got like 10 for free, I wasn't a member, that was a long time ago though [09:19] http://www.linux.org/groups/ [09:19] ty [09:19] Ruge: Try contacting your LoCo team, see if they can help you out [09:19] Ruge, use that link [09:20] <^Jay2^> also have you noticed that when you installed ubuntu from the cd the boot screen is in high res but after being installed, its using a lowres bootup screen [09:20] <^Jay2^> anyways [09:20] <^Jay2^> gotta reformat [09:20] <^Jay2^> ill be back [09:22] Basically going for third time lucky, In the past i tried ubuntu but kept going back to windows - but now im committed :P [09:22] are the changes in 10.04 substantial compared to 9.10? [09:23] Ruge, yes, a lot. Totally worth it. [09:23] Ruge, well... in my opinion... there are some changes..however I dont run 10.04 [09:23] Ruge: I would say so.. grub2, ext4 and so on [09:23] Interesting. Then I will wait til next month and get the ISO [09:23] Ruge, there are several major bugs that have not been dealt with at this point [09:24] coz_: oh? what have I missed? [09:24] slidinghorn, i already extracted it, and execute like this ./configure, but does it really wine installed in order to do this all? [09:24] I have Win7 but im not happy with its performance even with my specs [09:24] if it's a windows program, then yes [09:24] mae_tae, ^^ [09:24] Slart, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/581904 [09:25] Arbeit macht frei [09:25] Slart, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/581906 [09:25] !de | gothenburg [09:25] gothenburg: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

I rarely have more than one partition on my external drives [09:28] Slart, usb single partition on any drive is fine so far but mulitple partitions with fat32 , ext4 and even ntfs react the same [09:28] Slart, its bad enough to not install lucid and I certainly cannot put lucid on any clients machine either === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:30] Whats the value of showing users when their password is going to expire on the GDM login as it shows only for a split second and all you can read is "Your password ..." :P [09:32] Nakkel, mm I have not heard of this perhaps this may help http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man1/passwd.1.html [09:33] Nakkel, if you scroll down to -x, --maxdays MAX_DAYS [09:33] how do I kill something when I know the PID number [09:33] ? [09:33] kill pid pid [09:33] or kill pid [09:33] one of the 2 [09:33] no joy :( [09:33] Nakkel, http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/10/howto-set-user-password-expiration.html [09:33] kiamo, go to terminal and type kill pid [09:33] Hello all, [09:34] HI [09:34] kiamo: kill -KILL might work as well [09:34] kiamo: or sudo kill -9 pid if it's being stubborn [09:34] bbs [09:34] there we go :) [09:34] thanks guys [09:36] I am a student of Science, and wish to have a software for drawing simple circuit diagrams. I tried Quks, but various Physics symbols like Resistance etc. are missing. Any other software recommendation? [09:36] rocket16, mm let me google :) [09:37] coz_: Sure, thanks, :) [09:37] rocket16, how about gEDA is one I found [09:37] rocket16: I was searching for the same thing some time ago.. I ended up using quks even though it was far from perfect [09:37] coz_: Yes, I know how to set expiration and all but my gripes is with the GDM login warning of the expiration. It shows way too fast to be readable. [09:37] hi [09:38] i want to make my own os based on ubuntu 10.04,how can i do that? can anyone post a link? [09:38] Nakkel, oh i see ok hold on [09:38] Hello, can someone tell me how to remove an application that i manualy compiled and installed to my system but no longer need it ? [09:38] manhunter, I believe you want something like "reconstructor" [09:38] NitzchONot, dpkg -remove program [09:38] NitzchONot: did you do make, sudo make install? [09:39] NitzchONot, replace program with the actual package name [09:39] forgot...you'll need sudo (sorry for so many lines) [09:40] Slart, no, i just did ./configure - make - make install. slidinghorn ill give it a shot :) [09:40] NitzchONot: then you might be able to do sudo make uninstall [09:40] coz_: Ah, thanks a lit, friend, :) [09:40] * lot [09:40] NitzchONot: I don't think dpkg will uninstall anything that wasn't package based when you installed it [09:40] Slart: Oh, :( [09:40] rocket16, cool no problem hope that helps :") [09:40] Slart, thanks, ill try [09:41] rocket16: huh? [09:41] oh...I gotta start reading these questions more carefully [09:41] Nakkel, this one is puzzling to me... you might want to try #gnome perhaps or #gnome on gimpnet server [09:41] coz_: no, i want to make os based on ubuntu ,like crunchbang,how to do that? [09:41] coz_: k, thanks [09:41] manhunter: this might sound harsh.. but if you have to ask, you might be in for a rough ride [09:42] manhunter, this perhaps? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869659 [09:42] manhunter: there are some tools to modify a live cd though.. I've never used them myself but that might be one way to do it [09:43] manhunter: unfortunately I can never remember their names.. remastersys might be for debian only.. but it might be worth looking at [09:43] coz_: Sure, I too hope, :) thanks for the help, :) [09:43] manhunter, if not I know that the Elementary project is creating a distributon based on ubuntu ...you talk with DanRabbit in #elementary but I am not sure how open he is to discussing this since the project is in progress ...<< meaning time he has to deal with it [09:43] Slart: Nevermind, :) [09:43] rocket16, no problem [09:44] manhunter: this also looks promising https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [09:46] although .. as each day passes... I am continutally impressed with the number of brilliant coders involved in ubuntu ...and in many ohter projects..so much so that I would not want to take on a new distribution based on ubuntu without them :) [09:48] that should take care of my monthly brwn nosing :) [09:48] lol [09:49] hello, I'm looking for a way to start some gui application outside my session, but being able to access it while inside my session, without starting another desktop (not xvnc or something), is there a way to do this? [09:49] coz_: if you could do that in a different channel, that would be great please. [09:49] ikonia, yeah apologies ... I know better :) [09:53] coz_: Slart : is crunchbang and are other ubuntu based distro made following this:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [09:53] ? [09:54] manhunter: I have no idea.. but I would guess not [09:54] mandiees, not sure either however as I mentioned you might want to ask DanRabbit in #elementary [09:55] manhunter, that was for you ^^ [09:55] mandiees, sorry [09:55] manhunter, also ...have you asked in #crunchbang wait that is not the channel I dont think ,mmm [09:56] is there a package containing bitstream vera fonts? [09:56] airdem, are they not installed already?? let me check [09:57] airdem, you could check in synaptic for ttf-bitstream-vera [09:58] and why other linux distro called ubuntu based? [09:58] why are they ubuntu based?when a distro called ubuntu based? [09:58] like crunchbang,peppermint etc [09:59] coz_, there seems to be no such pkg [09:59] hi, How to use googlecl ? I am getting some errors .... [10:00] ls [10:00] airdem, did you find that package? [10:00] oops [10:00] everytime i boot up ubuntu from cd to try install, it throws up an unrecoverable error and drops to desktop (of ubuntu) and then lets me install from there. any ideas what the problem their could be? i only ask because i keep getting system freezes on a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 (32bit) [10:00] coz_, no [10:00] manhunter, basically they take the ubuntu core (kernel, basic system setup, etc) and build off of it with some other general purpose in mind [10:00] airdem, ok let me check another source [10:01] Hi. I have a hfs+ partition with no journalling. Ubuntu 10.04 mounts it but read only, even though the flags in mount say "rw". Even tried manually mounting as root, still read only. Any ideas? Thanks [10:01] manhunter, for example, I took a very barebones debian install and I'm building a "distro" for mulitmedia creation on low resources [10:02] airdem, mm seems to have been removed hol don [10:02] hold on [10:02] why x64 for ubuntu desktop is not recomended for daily use? is there any spl reason? [10:02] I'm having some trouble compiling gcc-3.4 (Long story. Don't ask. I want it.). For some reason, it seems as though gcc wants to produce i386 output instead of amd64. [10:02] somebody pls tell me? [10:03] airdem, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/ttf-bitstream-vera_1.10.orig.tar.gz [10:03] obscurant1st: noone seems to know.. there's even a bug reported for it [10:03] airdem, you can manually install that if you like [10:03] obscurant1st: because the people who wrote the new website text don't know what they're on about [10:03] I'm running 10.04, x86_64. The precise error is /usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/usr/lib/../lib/crti.o' is incompatible with i386 output. [10:03] Slart: wht kind of bug? [10:03] slidinghorn: how do they change/customize all ubuntu logo/wallpaper etc during installation? [10:03] coz_, thank you very much [10:03] obscurant1st: "this text is wrong and needs changing", basically [10:03] airdem, no problem [10:04] rww: so its better if i stick with the 32 bit version? [10:04] manhunter, chances are, they don't start with an installation that already includes a DE/DM/WM etc...they probably do a barebones install that is command line only and build it from there [10:04] obscurant1st: if you know which your machine supports, feel free to use whichever. contrary to that wrong text, there's no real difference. [10:04] obscurant1st: ehm.. there are different kinds of bugs? here's the url .. you tell me what kind it is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/585940 [10:04] The line to configure gcc for compilation is "../gcc-3.4.6/configure --enable-languages=c,f77 --disable-checking --prefix=$HOME/usr/local/", I've tried make clean, make distclean, and rm -rf * in the object folder, yet it's still producing some i386 code for some reason. [10:05] i just installed kubuntu and checked the encrypt home dir option. how do i enable or disable it? [10:05] how do i change my password? [10:05] i want to move my /home/ dir to another partition and I want to know how to do this [10:05] lint: on the bash "passwd [10:05] errors while using googlecl Some body please Please help me......?

Copy your /home/* files to the new partition root directory. Add the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab. It'll look something like /dev/yourpartiton /home (yourfs) (options) # # [10:07] rww: i hv that x64 server dvd, is there any problem if i install it? [10:07] airdem, out of curiosity...what application was complaining about no vera fonts ??? [10:07] Only users with access level ADDFACTS can add factoids. [10:07] i mean i dont need the server actually [10:08] v4ntager: what [10:08] slidinghorn:I am using Ubuntu9.10. I am trying to use googlecl to list docs in google doc account. When run the command to list it I am getting http://pastebin.com/ZMaW9wtY [10:08] coz_, there was no problem. but i like the vera fonts very much :) [10:09] or is the standard "sans" font already bistream-vera? [10:09] airdem, ah cool :) I am having issues with that package not unlocking the fonts ... did they install for you? [10:09] airdem, not sure about that [10:09] slidinghorn:any idea?

I am trying to use googlecl to list docs in google doc account. When run the command to list it I am getting http://pastebin.com/ZMaW9wtY [10:10] coz_, i extracted the file you gave me to ~/.fonts - it works [10:10] brijithmac, I've never used googlecl, but now that you actually gave us the problem I'm sure you'll have a much better chance of getting a useful answer [10:10] airdem, very cool :) [10:10] obscurant1st: please note that the ubuntu terminology for 64bit and 32bit is i386 and amd64, not x32 and x64. [10:11] SwedeMike: ok, thank, and btw I have a question why it is written as amd64, intel also hv 64 bit right? [10:11] sorry if its a dump question [10:12] obscurant1st: because AMD invented it. It works fine in Intel x86_64 processors [10:12] rww: oh, ok. thx [10:12] Hi all Please help me ... I am using Ubuntu9.10. I am trying to use googlecl to list docs in google doc account.

[10:16] bobthemilkman: i know how to munt+rsync, I just need to understand how the encryption works [10:17] hey non-spammers [10:18] cuco: I also don't know much about the cryptography used by ubuntu. But I can tell you that this morning I took out my /home hard drive and did a dd if=/dev/oldhome of=/dev/newhome, swapped the new hard drive into the location of the old one, adjusted a few UUID settings in /etc/fstab, and it works perfectly now. [10:18] (that dd command was on another, hence why I took it out of this computer first.) [10:18] on another computer* [10:19] When I have mysqld in apparmor enforcement mode and enable events with "SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;" I get lots of "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" when I stop mysqld.. No apparmor errors in the logs.. [10:19] This is not happening with the original mysql init.d script. [10:19] is docky and cairo-dock similar thing on ubuntu ? [10:19] cuco: Also, I was able to mount the drive just fine on the other computer, which leads me to believe, despite what ubuntu says at startup about libcrypt, that there is actually no encryption on the disk at all. [10:20] can anyone tell me how I get my network-manager icon back on my panel ?

Yesterday, I made an upgrade to LUCID using the alternate cd. now I lost my graphical user interface all I get is tty1..tty6.. when I try 'startx' command I get "exec:3 /usr/bin/X: not found" error... [11:16] abhi_nav, so new entries are getting your undesired fontface ? [11:17] airtonix, giving image wait [11:17] tom-ubuntu, lesson 1: never use dist-upgrade. [11:17] hmm [11:17] what should I do instead ? === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn|Away [11:18] tom-ubuntu, lesson 2: always put /home on a separate partition [11:18] Jordan_U: thanks, one sec. I'm in a web console so it's slow. [11:18] I see.. so I have to backup /home and format all the partition to reinstall from scratch.. [11:19] tom-ubuntu, this time yes.. but next time, becuase you'll be smart and create a separate partition for /home... you will use clean isntalls of new OS versions instead of using dist-upgrade. [11:20] if it does cause problems why is there a dist-upgrade option available ? [11:20] tom-ubuntu, never trust *any* upgrade systems claims that it will migrate your apps [11:20] Jordan_U: can't wget that script: Resolving surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution [11:20] tom-ubuntu: Upgrading usually goes fine.

Ever since my partially sighted friend started using Ctrl+ and Ctrl-, my 10.04 Desktop box has started booting in weird screen resolutions, and now I can't get my normal resolution back. Help? [11:22] bye now. I have a harddisk to re-partition.. I gotta go. [11:22] abhi_nav: I've seen those characters before.. when exporting to pdf .. I don't think they are chinese [11:23] Slart, yah but i need to type in english. how to?

[11:29] yes [11:29] !in | indieross [11:29] indieross: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [11:29] sorry [11:29] !in | indus [11:29] abhi_nav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:29] indus: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [11:29] abhi_nav, only thing i can think of is to reset openoffice language and that language support window to English (british) and then log out and back in . [11:30] airtonix, ok i try it now [11:30] Since my partially sighted friend used Ctrl-+ to alter text size in a browser, my 10.04 Desktop machine has been booting in the wrong screen resolution. [11:30] abhi_nav, English (United Kingdom) [11:30] Jordan_U: basically I did an upgrade from dapper to hardy tonight, which worked fine. Then I tried going to lucid, and it hung on reboot. /etc/grub.d just has 1 file: 20_memtest86+ [11:30] airtonix, ok [11:34] airtonix, its of no use :'( . does hunspell spellcheck is to do something with thsi? [11:34] abhi_nav, might do [11:35] airtonix, how to change it? [11:35] abhi_nav, remove it ? [11:35] airtonix, no change it. becuase i need some spell chaker [11:35] ? [11:36] abhi_nav, openoffice has a spell checker [11:36] airtonix, but then from where does this hunsell comes? is abiword causing conflict? [11:36] abhi_nav, no idea [11:36] :( [11:37] airtonix, atleast do you know what that language is? [11:38] abhi_nav, its not farsi ? [11:38] airtonix, farsi? ok [11:38] abhi_nav, no im asking you [11:38] airtonix, no i dont know. i am from india [11:38] abhi_nav, ... [11:38] ... [11:39] abhi_nav, first indian i've met that doesn't recognise farsi [11:39] I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP. I've gotten the Windows XP entry into GRUB2, but whenever I select it, it goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor for a couple of seconds and then right back to the GRUB menu [11:39] hi, if xorg crashes, is it writes any data in some logs? /var/log/Xorg.0.log has only startup info, i want to find what triggers the crashes because are very random and happen only in KDE [11:39] any idea how to get Windows to boot? [11:39] farsi is not India India major language - hindi , english, marathi, bengali, tamil, panjabi, telugu, malyalam, kannad, gujarathi, urdu etc [11:39] simion314: maybe in /var/log/messages [11:39] not farsi [11:40] synatpic [11:40] sorry wrong focus [11:40] I wonder how long the registered nicks have supposed to been forced [11:40] only just hit me now [11:41] airtonix, you can see in this wiki no farsi mentioned : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India [11:41] erUSUL: nothing at the time of the crash there [11:41] haux_: You probably accidentally installed grub2 to your windows partition boot record. [11:41] simion314: then i dunno [11:42] Jordan_U, I configured grub from within Ubuntu. Could it have actually done that? [11:42] haux_: Can you pastebin the output of [11:42] airtonix, btw do you know open office channel? [11:42] Jordan_U, output of what? [11:42] haux_: ... of "debconf-show grub-pc" [11:44] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/pWBzeJ0V [11:45] hi i have an ubuntu 10.04 installation. After hibernation i see with htop that swap is used, 115 MB. It's ok? [11:45] haux_: When you were prompted for what devices you wanted to install grub to you selected all your partitions, you should never install grub to a partition. [11:45] Jordan_U: No clues? Can it be the gvfs layer causing problems? [11:47] Jordan_U, during the installation of grub, some blue screen came up where I selected the partitions, yes. I thought it was having me select which partitions I wanted to have listed in GRUB [11:47] haux_: First run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and when prompted for install devices uncheck all partitions. Then follow this guide to restore your windows PBR: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [11:47] airtonix, ?? [11:52] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, you still there? [11:54] <^Jay2^> if I did make && make install from a downloaded tar, how do i go on uninstalling them? [11:54] tull: probably . do you notice any issue appart from the number ? [11:54] ^Jay2^: unless the make includes a make uninstall you will have to do it by hand [11:54] !chackinstall [11:55] !checkinstall [11:55] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [11:55] Jordan_U: Thank you. I'm in Win XP now. [11:55] <^Jay2^> erUSUL, i see [11:55] haux: You're welcome. [11:55] <^Jay2^> erUSUL, is it not possible to have multiple usb wifi in lucid?

[11:57] <^Jay2^> :( [11:57] <[yan]> help :( major data-loss... im sure it's a stupid thing i've done [11:57] hello :( [11:57] <^Jay2^> erUSUL, is there anyway i can install both? [11:57] ^Jay2^: instead of compiling you should have installed linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [11:58] <^Jay2^> ok so i'll try uninstalling it now [11:58] <^Jay2^> and lets see what will happen [11:58] Hey [11:58] How do Ubuntu encrypted volumes work internally and how can I mount them somewhere else [11:59] I'd check manually but they're on ESATA and the box I want to connect it to doesn't have that.

[12:02] <[yan]> anyone know why it's showing 1.3TB used out of 1.4TB but there's no files visible? :( [12:03] lvh: LUKS ? [12:03] [yan]: try to show hidden files CTRL+H [12:04] [yan]: maybe for some weird rason they ended up hidden? pass a checkdisk in windows ? [12:04] <[yan]> i mean on ubuntu [12:04] <[yan]> i did ls -la [12:05] <[yan]> according to Disk Utility the filesystem passes check [12:05] <[yan]> havent done windows check yet [12:05] [yan]: if it is a ntfs partition i will trust microsoft utils [12:05] <[yan]> ok i'll try that. [12:05] anyone know y my built in laptop mick does not work but a plugged in one will [12:06] <[yan]> i worry about having windwos view the drive at same time as VM [12:06] my laptop and I had a fall, it thunked on the ground. how should I check the disk in my laptop? fsck something?

[12:12] * Petskull goes with fsck... based on no idea whatsoever- sorry [12:13] tried as in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router if i set wireless-mode master, as they say instead of ad-hoc it gives error [12:15] and here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc, sudo: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager: command not found [12:15] not letting me right click desktop?

I have the common problems (as google says) - totem plugin (no caching, etc.).

[12:36] the plugin isn't in the software installer anymore. Totem just sucks.

[12:36] the vlc plugin doesn't show any gui :-( [12:36] sascha____: then you do wrong? [12:36] erUSUL:ok, what a joy looking they are pinging each other [12:37] Agree totem isn't so much.

Install the vlc package and you get a full-featured GUI. Or I do, anyway. [12:38] yes, he should. [12:39] the vlc-plugin doesn't show any gui controls... vlc itself works perfect. it's streaming videos from duckload and the likes. [12:40] in /etc/sudoers there is this line '%admins ALL=(ALL) ALL' - how do I make it so this group does not require a password to use sudo? [12:40] steffan, add PASSWD=ALL [12:40] Ah.

[12:41] steffan, Please take as read the obligatory warning about doing that sort of thing. [12:42] steffan, I don't think so, sorry replace PASSWD with NOPASSWD [12:42] hmmm, so no real way to stream divx from the web (besides this half working totem thingie)... damn, and for this, I killed the XP install. sigh.

[12:44] ive watched divx streams in vlc and mplayer befor. never really had any issues.. but im using ubuntu normally not xuibuntu [12:44] obscurant1st: have you tried running "nm-applet" in a terminal? [12:44] The-Compiler: tried #ubuntu+1 ? [12:45] no,. will ask there, thanks [12:45] The-Compiler: you're welcome [12:45] Slart, yes I hv tried, but this error comes, http://pastebin.com/yDDGfxj6 [12:45] obscurant1st: hmm.. well.. rebooting is such a lazy solution.. but sometimes it's the easiest one.. tried it yet? [12:46] Slart, yes tried that also. :( [12:46] is it possible to mount a dump of an ntfs filesystem made using dd? [12:46] I tried re installing it also, still no luck [12:47] An_Ony_Moose, i think QEMU will help you do that [12:47] An_Ony_Moose: yes. it should be possible, [12:47] obscurant1st: ok.. try this sudo pkill -9 nm-applet; nm-applet [12:47] An_Ony_Moose: is it a dump of a whole drive? or just a single partition? [12:48] i tried killall nm-applet n started it again, anyway i will try this. [12:48] tgywa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix ? [12:48] Slart, now this is the error; http://pastebin.com/pzTfRWEX [12:49] help? [12:49] hi all, I'm trying to reinstall grub in my macbook pro at /dev/sda4 but something strange is happening. Grub is hold at boot with GRUB _ . I tried to reinstall it with a livecd with grub-install /dev/sda4 but doesn't work. Could someone help me? [12:49] what can I do if I'm getting the message /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed? [12:49] obscurant1st: but still no icon in the notification area? [12:49] Slart, nope! :( [12:50] obscurant1st: hmm. then I don't really know what to try.. I've run out of tricks to try [12:50] Kartagis: i recall once for some of my hp printers i had to install some extra hp services. hplip (i think), other then that. not sure. [12:50] Slart, ok, np, thanks for trying to help though! [12:50] Dr_Willis, hplip is the latest version for me [12:50] frandieguez: There are #grub but I think grub-install /dev/sda is what you're looking for. I'm not sure. :3 [12:51] Somebody pls help me on this network manager issue, the icon is not coming in panel even after adding notification area to panel! [12:51] Kartagis: check its logs perhaps its failing for some reason [12:51] obscurant1st: have you tried just resetting the panels? [12:51] !resetpanels [12:51] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:51] red2kic: thanks but for apple computers grub should be installed on root partition and not at mbr [12:51] Dr_Willis, http://suigeneris.pastebin.com/937arDdJ [12:52] Dr_Willis, just now I tried, the icon is still not there! [12:52] hi I have got a Acer 5738PZG Machine [12:52] and I want to enable Multi - touch screen as well as the touchpad [12:53] frandieguez: "grub-install --help" --- There are "--root-directory=DIR" option. [12:53] Multi touch works fine for windows [12:53] can any one suggest me something how to solve for Ubuntu 10.04 === SlidingHorn|Away is now known as slidinghorn [12:53] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/456349/ how to fix that ? [12:54] Kartagis: looking at the messages. it may be that 'back end failed' errors is due to some other error/problem mentioned higher up in the error logs. but thats really not much help :) [12:54] jdk2588, System > Preferences > Mouse ? [12:54] but it doesn't support two finger gestures [12:55] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/456349/ how to fix that ? [12:55] ^Jay2^, am here now, it seems as though that specific version of compat-wireless will break rt73usb but supports your atheros usb [12:55] Dr_Willis, I have this at the beginning of the file: [28/Jun/2010:13:48:21 +0300] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv"! [12:56] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, is there anyway that i can make them both work [12:56] <^Jay2^> there is a script in the compat wireless that i've downloaded where i can do ./scripts/driver-select [12:56] Megadeth[out], are you trying to make webcam work? [12:56] <^Jay2^> if i do ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc it will redo the makefile [12:56] Playing some stuff in Wine.. and does anyone else have the 'odd issue' where the wine apps .desktop files on the desktop give a message about being 'untrusted application launcher' it seems odd that by making it executable - suddendly its 'trusted' :) not really my definition of 'trusted' [12:57] <^Jay2^> so it will only install ath9k_htc . but i am wondering why it still messes up with my rt73usb :( [12:57] Kartagis, yes [12:57] ^Jay2^, its inside that compressed archive, try doing a find after extracting and using find $PWD -name "driver-select" [12:57] Kartagis: yep. that seems weird. its trying to use the 'sample.drv' (sample driver?) instead of an actual driver? [12:57] i have to comps pinging each other one(this one) has WAN, how do i share it now using iptables, or firestarter? [12:57] Megadeth[out], get the latest skype, that had solved my problem [12:57] !ics | aretrfre34 [12:57] aretrfre34: 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 [12:57] <^Jay2^> i've uncompressed it already [12:58] Kartagis, i have installed skype from skype.com [12:58] ^Jay2^, so navigate into it and use the search tool to find the file inside the uncompressed location [12:58] erUSUL:are you human i'm getting this 20+ times, any humanable advises? [12:58] Megadeth[out], did you get the latest? [12:58] I'd assume it would be straight forward, how did rt73usb not work? did you issue make all and make install without selecting a specific driver? [12:59] <^Jay2^> i need to find the driver-select? [12:59] <^Jay2^> its inside /scripts [12:59] Dr_Willis, do you have an idea as to how I can point to the actual driver file? [12:59] Kartagis, Skype 2.1 Beta 2 for Linux ? [12:59] ^Jay2^, or you can just use search tool.. no not inside /scripts.. probably under $PWD/compat-wireless/scripts or something like that [13:00] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, /home/jay/Desktop/compat-wireless/scripts/driver-select [13:00] Kartagis: not really. it almost sounds like the printer may just be misconfigured. check it out in the cups web interface, and gnome printer config tools perhaps [13:00] <^Jay2^> that's the output [13:00] i dont know other version of skype [13:00] ^Jay2^, there you go [13:01] ^Jay2^, still trying to figure out how did rt73usb got broke when you installed compat-wireless [13:01] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, me too, want me to send you the tar for this compat wireless? [13:02] erUSUL:i did both, command for iptables, not works, checked in firestarter share ic, not works, any other ideas exeptof again sending me to ubuntu help [13:02] ^Jay2^, well probably won't help lol, I'm not on the latest version of ubuntu, but can you just tell me the steps in which you did it? and if its more than 3 lines, just use pastebin, I'm thinking you've probably just compiled ath9k_htc or something and issued make install, but rt73usb hasn't been updated to work with mac80211 framework that is included with the compat-wireless [13:03] <^Jay2^> my brain is bleeding lol [13:04] ^Jay2^, put it simply I need to know what steps you did to recreate that scenario which made only atheros to work but not ralink :) [13:04] ^Jay2^, apart from grabbing the file and untarring it for example :) [13:04] aretrfre34: network manager does not work either. how are you checking if it works? what errors you get on clients machines when you do ping or try to browse the net? [13:04] <^Jay2^> ok the device that I am installing is WN722N by tplink. steps are, put the ar9271.fw to /lib/firmware, edited .config in kernel and added some modifications in it. then did the ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc and then did the make and make install [13:05] !doesntwork | aretrfre34 [13:05] aretrfre34: 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. [13:05] psycho_oreos: First line of guide --> He put it on ~/Desktop. :P [13:06] lol thats the funniest factoid I've seen yet! [13:06] red2kic, more like he extracted onto ~/Desktop :) [13:07] ^Jay2^, ahh I can see why partially yeah, you've only built ath9k_htc, now you will need to build rt73usb or you could just make all modules and make install imo :) which should make all modules included in compat-wireless (includes wireless supports for other chipsets, etc) and that should cover both atheros and ralink for the chipsets that you have [13:07] Does anyone happen to know if there is a .deb package, or a package in the repositories of apache2 version 2.0.63? [13:08] <^Jay2^> so i shouldn't have done the driver-select? [13:08] backports or something possibly [13:08] <^Jay2^> ok ok i will redo it [13:08] Dr_Willis, I run system-config-printer, and it's the same [13:09] Kartagis: i always use the cups web interface. [13:09] ^Jay2^, well you can do driver-select but I was just thinking you have multiple wireless chipsets, it would probably be a lot easier to make all of them (yes it would take longer but you get all the modules compiled) and make install would give you all the latest drivers provided by that compat-wireless package [13:10] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, i'll try it now [13:10] i am trying to move my rootfs from ext4 to btrfs, and I found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/grub2/+bug/450260 [13:11] it seems there is a new grub2 package, where can i get it ? (I understand that its for a newer release, but with some luck BC did not change yet and the package will work) [13:11] cuco, what version of ubuntu [13:11] How can support ubuntu to "touch screen " "Taple" my laptop "HP Pailion tx2500" ? please [13:11] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, before i do make and make install this, can you check this for me http://pastebin.com/RSkeRNzG [13:12] Iraq, bt4? [13:12] <^Jay2^> do you think rt73usb will work after it? [13:12] bazhang: i am using 10.04, but i want the n ew updated package (I understand that this is 10.04+1) [13:12] Yes [13:12] Dr_Willis, using the cups interface, what should I do? [13:12] cuco, you should really get that in Maverick, #ubuntu+1 [13:13] Ubuntu ot bt same not different [13:13] or * [13:13] Iraq, that is not supported here. [13:13] ^Jay2^, I believe using driver-select will only compile specific drivers, yes you could probably get away with doing rt2x00 for support of rt73usb but like I said, it might be faster if you build all of it [13:13] give code touch screen for ubuntu ? [13:13] <^Jay2^> alright [13:13] <^Jay2^> rebuilding everything now :D [13:14] Kartagis: see what driver the printer is using. perhaps try to reconfigure it [13:14] Iraq, you have been told many times that bt4 is not supported here. #backtrack-linux for support. Please stop asking further. [13:14] i asking about ubuntu not bt4 ? :-s [13:14] Iraq: yesterday you said Ubuntu dident run on your machine. [13:15] Iraq, you were just using bt4 *yesterday* [13:16] Dr_Willis: i said " I INSTALL IT ON BUT MANY DEVICE NOT SUPPORT LIKE SOUND" [13:16] PLEASE READ IT AGAIN ABOUT THIS [13:16] Iraq, no caps, and stop asking [13:17] Iraq: i can barely understand your typing at all. [13:17] bazhang:1- i didn't ask you any thing, 2- better do not insert your noise in some thing not for you and thank [13:19] can anyone help me, im using ubuntu 10.04 and I compiled gnome-shell from source, when i gnome-shell --replace it flickers and is unusable for about 30secs before it crashes, terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/456343/ [13:20] what permissions should .ssh, .ssh/.key's and authorized_keys files have? [13:20] [6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~ [13:21] sorry client messed up [13:24] Dr_Willis, the problem now is, cups web interface gives me "missing form variable" whenever I try to make an operation [13:24] hi [13:25] <^jay2^_> psycho_oreos, all of my wireless is now not working [13:25] <^jay2^_> psycho_oreos, this is really weird lol [13:25] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and I could connect to wifi networks, but now when I try to connect to them, it shows the icon that means "connecting" forever [13:25] <^jay2^_> psycho_oreos, here's the dmesg http://pastebin.com/Fdd6pr4F [13:26] ^jay2^_, hmm weird, I'd assume you did make all? [13:26] <^jay2^_> yes i did [13:26] <^jay2^_> it disabled even my bcm4322 === ^jay2^_ is now known as ^jay2^ [13:27] Anyone know if there's an apache 2.0.63 .deb available online somewhere, or in the repos? [13:28] ^jay2^, yeah it seems as though it didn't like the command I told you to issue, hmm try driver-select and compile both ath9k_htc and rt2x00 [13:28] <^jay2^> i need to make uninstall right? [13:29] ^jay2^, yeah for keeping it clean I suppose [13:29] phuzion http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi ? [13:29] ^jay2^, rather unusual result imo [13:29] OerHeks: Didn't see a .deb for 2.0.63 there [13:29] <^jay2^> psycho_oreos, lol. ok lemme restart [13:30] Darwin phuzions-MacBook-Pro.local 10.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: Fri Apr 23 18:28:53 PDT 2010; root:xnu-1504.7.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 [13:30] oops, sorry [13:30] * Dr_Willis has to run. bye all.

I have some questions regarding ndiswrapper, and mounting a windows partition. Could anyone help? [13:43] drowner79: just ask, if someone knows they might answer [13:44] firstly, i put the windows driver for ndiswrapper in my home folder, i presume this means that everyone else won't be able to use it if they log in - any good suggestions on where it can go? [13:44] Kartagis: I want to install Lubuntu from commandline, no internet available, from the cd-rom disc... [13:45] Kartagis: It seems the directory sctructure of the lubuntu disc isn't allright [13:45] drowner79: I'm not sure if your home folder is locked down or not.. I don't think it is [13:45] Kaaiman, sudo apt-get -d=cdrom mount point [13:45] Kaaiman, lubuntu iso? [13:45] apt-cdrom* [13:45] Where is the ubuntu unrelated irc channel? [13:46] bazhang, can you help me? [13:46] stephaneONE, #ubuntu-offtopic [13:46] Cool slart. [13:46] Thank you [13:46] Kaaiman, when you say lubuntu cd, you mean a lubuntu iso? where did you get that? [13:47] also, this is the first install i have done in a few years. I notice that my windows partition is not in my fstab, but it still mounts at start up.Is that unusual? [13:47] bazhang: at lubuntu.net [13:47] bazhang: more exactly http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.04.iso [13:47] drowner79, why use ndiswrapper for mounting a windows partition in the first place? [13:47] drowner79: nope, it is automounted when you try to access it.. you can put it in your fstab if you want it to be available before you login [13:47] drowner79, man mount [13:47] Kartagis: no unrelated question :) [13:48] bazhang: there is no alternate or 64-bit version of it :( [13:48] Slart: i kind of want to symlink the music files in there to the music folder in the home directory, i guess i should put it in the fstab? [13:48] drowner79: yes.. that sounds like a job for fstab [13:48] I really need the alternate version for my 128 MB RAM notebook, now I have to mess with alternative methods... [13:49] Kaaiman: ouch.. 128MB.. how old is that thing? [13:49] Kaaiman: use the alternate amd64 cd and run sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [13:49] 1998] [13:49] Kaaiman: if you want lubuntu amd64 [13:49] can you help me guys? [13:49] how do I get my printer to use hpijs.drv instead of sample.drv? [13:49] !ask | Kaaiman [13:49] Kaaiman: 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. :-) [13:49] Kaaiman, did you md5 the iso? [13:49] Kaaiman: wrong nick, sorry [13:50] Kaaiman, correct nick actually [13:50] I have used the xubuntu-alternate and tried to uninstall the entire xubuntu gui, I now have a stripped down ubuntu with only cmdline and no internet connection [13:51] bazhang: i dont know how to check md5... [13:51] Kaaiman, why not install lubuntu-desktop before doing the stripdown [13:51] bazhang: must be very simple I think.. [13:51] Kaaiman: I'm wondering if it might not be easier to start with the minimal install cd.. [13:51] Kartagis: System -> Administration -> Printing. Rightclick on the printer and go to properties. There is a line called make and model. Click on change. From there you can choose different drivers [13:51] bazhang: I wanted a pure lubuntu, without xubuntu apps [13:52] Kaaiman, right, but do it after you have the package installed (thus still having internet) [13:52] Kaaiman: perhaps point that to the lubuntu repositories after the install (lubuntu has its own repositories, right?) [13:52] Slart, not for lubuntu-desktop, no [13:52] bazhang: but maybe it's better to install xubuntu-desktop again (so I can make wifi connection again, It wont' succeed from the minimal system (USB wifi stick)) [13:53] Kaaiman, indeed that is most sensible [13:53] Is there a faster mirror for the Ubuntu partner repository? [13:53] Kaaiman: ah.. you can't use the lubuntu regular install cd as repository ? [13:53] Slart: that's exactly what I'm doing now [13:53] tiemonster, I would hazard no [13:53] rubbs, no luck [13:54] but it won't succeed... [13:54] Kaaiman: ah.. sorry.. I don't think I've been reading the entire conversation [13:54] Kartagis: are you using gnome? [13:54] I #'d out all internet repos and still apt doesnt read from the disc [13:54] bazhang: that sucks. I'm getting 5K/sec download speed... [13:54] Kaaiman: I'm going to give this a try in a vm.. see if I can get it to work [13:54] hi all..... my XP guest always reports different CPU speed everytime its started.... can anyone tell me what is causing this? [13:54] although the disc has been mounted and added with apt-cdrom add [13:55] 3 hours for a 27MB jre... [13:55] never fails, tried upgrade (9.10 to 10.04) and it failed, system was unresponsive (could move mouse, but nothing would open), had to reboot. After reboot, instead of grub all I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor, holding shift did not help, nor did reloading grub2 via livecd... any ideas/ [13:55] NeoCicak, in vbox? [13:55] bazhang: yes.... === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` [13:55] rubbs, yes [13:56] It's just a sport to get Lubuntu working on an old Dell inspiron 3500 notebook, dated 1998... [13:56] NeoCicak, if you don't get an answer here there is also the channel #vbox [13:56] Kartagis: can you see the printer in the printing dialog in System -> Administration -> Printing? [13:56] I dont want Windoze 98 (which was actually installed) [13:56] rubbs, yes [13:56] bazhang: i've tried all possible combination.... enabling vt-x, PAE-NX, etc.... installing guest addition.... but still........ the cpu speed is inconsistent... and what is worse... it is reporting 60Mhz, even though i have a 2GHz intel core 2 duo [13:56] So, I think I've tried too many patches trying to get my sound to work again. Can someone please help me completely purge & reinstall the default Ubuntu sound system? [13:56] Kartagis: what happens if you double click on it? [13:56] bazhang: yeah, that #vbox is a bit strange ... very quiet one [13:57] rubbs, I see properties [13:57] It was even the 4.10.1998 version of win98... not even the 2nd edition :') [13:57] Kartagis: k. just a sec. [13:57] rubbs, I tried what you suggested, no luck [13:57] Kartagis: so what happens when you click change? does it not have the driver installed? [13:58] failed 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade, after reboot system blanks out (only blinking cursor) instead of going into grub... running out of ideas here [13:58] rubbs, it goes and finds the very same driver [13:58] Kartagis: what printer model? [13:59] hp-p2055dn [13:59] Slart: if you have any clue, please call me... I'll stay here in the chat [13:59] rubbs, ^^ [13:59] Kaaiman: sure.. one more question.. you've got some kind of wired connection to the net on this laptop? or it's wireless only?

Either that, or all of my previous conversations have been deleted, because on each of my contacts the option to view them is grayed out. Anyone know where Empathy stores previous conversation logs? [14:18] jbwiv, i would look for .empathy in your homedir [14:19] or .gnome2/ [14:19] .empathy doesn't exist [14:19] .config/Empathy does, but no logs there [14:19] jbwiv: ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs [14:19] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, :(( i really cant make the 2 work together. either 1 can only work :(( [14:19] how do I stop a busy disk so I can umount it?

I wonder why the option in the UI is grayed out? [14:20] Kunin: you can do a lazy umount, umount -l [14:21] jbwiv: of that I'm not sure. I wish I could help more :( [14:21] <^Jay2^> psycho_oreos, thank you for everything [14:21] <^Jay2^> lemme try that room [14:22] rubbs, ok, thx. at least I know they're not lost ;) === Weust` is now known as Weust`afk [14:22] <^Jay2^> no one seems to be alive in linux-wireless lol [14:23] ^Jay2^: sometimes channels are quiet for a while but if you stick around someone may be able to answer your questions. #ubuntu is kind of unique in that it is so noisy [14:24] bzrk: Thanks, that fixed it === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` [14:25] david00: yw [14:25] If I want to hide my IP, what should I use orders?

[14:39] ActionParsnip yes, it all worked fine... until I tried to upgrade to 10.04 and since then the whole system is crap [14:40] Kunin: ok if you run: sudo fdisk -l do yu see the disk amd partitions? [14:40] actionparsnip no [14:40] Kunin: ok, run: dmesg | less read through, does your drive get detected? [14:40] it was there before, I tried to unpack my backup from before the upgrade... something went wrong, and now it's gone [14:41] Kunin: does the drive detect in bios? [14:41] actionparsnip yes, just checked to make sure it was being seen in BIOS, going back into liveCD now [14:42] Somebody knows as can create a new instance of apache2? [14:43] why do I even bother trying to upgrade... every upgrade from 6.10 on has been like this [14:43] hello [14:44] hiyas all [14:44] Kunin: i always clean install, makes less issues, plus clears out old guff. feels like a new pair of trainers [14:44] you BluesKaj [14:44] can i configure the mouse(wireless usb) in terminal ? [14:45] rubbs, I get 'error: 'make' command failed with status code 2' [14:45] hey ActionParsnip [14:45] actionparsnip yes, but I tend to forget what I've installed (or how I configured it) [14:45] piasdom: plug in the reciever then follow the manual's instrructions. theres probably a sync button [14:45] wonderful, now liveCD doesn't want to boot... can anything else go wrong [14:45] can someone recommend me a rolling release distro ?

Linux From Scratch. [14:47] phuzion: use 'purge' not 'remove' when uninstalling [14:47] piasdom: wat make / model is the device? [14:48] steffan: I used tasksel to install it.

[14:50] * indus reads about arch [14:50] phuzion: I've never used tasksel to install/remove packages but 'tasksel remove lamp-server' seems to be what you want - I'm not clear on whether or not that removes configuration files like 'apt-get purge' does though [14:50] ActionParsnip: damn--- forgot...connected by kvm [14:50] piasdom: i'd connect it directly to get it hooked up [14:51] ActionParsnip: k [14:51] Somebody knows as can create a new instance of apache2?

[14:53] Psi-Jack, I am wanting to create two environments, production is development [14:53] Kunin: possibly, you can always boot to live cd to install if you get issues [14:54] life should be easier once I have enough cash to build the giant NAS I want... then I won't need to use things like lvm to have massive storage (only 4TB, but I've filled that up already) [14:55] hi, what do you get with: lsof |wc -l [14:55] plz? [14:56] amidelalune: I get 676, but that number will vary from system to system. [14:56] assuming this works... how do I upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 if update manager fails, without losing currently installed programs/settings/etc? [14:57] phuzion: for me it's about 600 before login into gdm but after it goes up to 6000! [14:58] Kunin: If update manager fails, your best bet is probably to back up your homedir and reinstall the OS from fresh 10.04 media [14:58] phuzion: which wouldn't keep all currently installed programs/settings [14:58] Kunin: no, but you could restore them [14:59] phuzion: do you know why?^ [14:59] Ideally, if you back up your entire homedir, the majority of your preferences should remain. [14:59] amidelalune: nope, sorry [14:59] phuzion not if I don't remember exactly what they were [14:59] amidelalune, 8135 here :) [14:59] Hi there, I've a question it's a display issue, I don't have any icons in menu for shutdown, reboot ect ... nor in Thunderbird, I checked on google and activated have_menu_icons but it seems to do nothing :/ Any ideas ? ( Ubuntu 10.4 ) [14:59] Kunin: do you have separated partitions for root and home? [14:59] rom0 of course [14:59] rubbs, I mv'd it to ~, and it seems to work so far [15:00] Kunin: if you save your preferences files, your programs should in theory go looking for them where they were after you restore them. For example, backup .bashrc, reinstall OS, restore .bashrc. bash will behave exactly like it did prior to the reinstall [15:00] Kartagis: good to hear. I hope it works out for you. I'm sorry I'm not being that helpful. [15:00] ubutom: tnx, so maybe it's normal. but my problem is i get lots of iowait [15:01] amidelalune, dunno, see nothing out of the order here, but laptop is already running a few days also [15:01] 4 days and 2 hours to be exact amidelalune [15:02] now I am getting another error: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed [15:02] brb, reboot [15:02] ActionParsnip: Thanks....

[15:22] just me [15:23] Andy-at-home: then I would suggest you change the ownership like this chown username:username /var/www/html/mydirectory [15:23] Andy-at-home:you probably would need a sudo in front of that.

I'm on a Windows network with completely screwed up DNS tables and I'm trying to find the IP of another Ubuntu box on the network. Out of 2,000 clients, there's only 5 Linux boxes on the network. Is there any way I can "scoop" up the clients that are Linux based and not Windows based so I can probe each one to find which is the file server I need? [16:29] Hi, there! [16:29] !eol | barfster [16:29] Roasted_: could try nmap not sure if it can probe te OS though [16:29] barfster: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[16:30] Roasted_: its a command [16:30] ActionParsnip, would I just run nmap, or are there other switches involved? [16:30] I'm having trouble setting up samba, anyone know why I wouldn't have a /etc/init.d/samba/ directory after install? [16:30] Roasted_: Its in the repos, and it can definitely probe the OS. [16:30] Roasted_: nmap is very complex, you will need switches. there are samples online [16:30] k, thanks Pici + ActionParsnip [16:31] Pici: sweet, thanks [16:31] ActionParsnip: -O [16:32] is there a way to get fdisk to refresh a list of disks?

I have no clue what my "target" is since I dont know its IPs. Any suggestions? [16:32] Roasted_: You might want to check out Spiceworks. We use it at my office and it's amazing how much information it can tell you about the machines on your network. [16:32] ActionParsnip: That's the OS detection flag. [16:32] Cajun_Lan_Man, thanks, gonna look into that now [16:32] jpds: ahhhh i see [16:32] jpds: thanks [16:33] Roasted_: You can use a range or wildcards.

[16:34] Roasted_: i've used nmap to do what you are asking. we have a network that contains ipaddresses on 172.16.5.* set up. nmap allows for scanning on the whole spec. so I just type nmap -T4 -A 172.16.5.* and I get all the ips [16:34] not sure personally, tar- [16:34] Roasted_: Well, are there any hosts in the range you're looking in?

You probably want fat32 though [17:23] lol each his own answer [17:23] steev: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename wil reinstall the older version [17:23] RFleming, can u give me downloaing link? bcz when i visit that page says adobe lab closed for major change in flash arkitecture [17:23] ActionParsnip: i don't know the package name(s) is the issue [17:23] schlaftier, yeah, the $? works [17:23] i get a error when i try to install it where do i paste the error? [17:23] OpenSourcedNick1, fat16 is kinda old [17:24] OpenSourcedNick1: depends on needs, ext2 if it is to be in linux systems only, ntfs is robust and read / writable by both linux and windows [17:24] steev: check the ppa, see what packages it gives [17:24] what partition table? it wants msdos [17:24] OpenSourcedNick1, As ActionParsnip say..

[17:49] webPragmatist: isn't there a setting in rsync somewhere? I would be most disappointed if there wasn't [17:49] Kunin: check 'dmesg; output.. and i have seen cases where you must 'reboot' then format. after repartitioning. because the kernel can still somehow rember/use the old partition tables. [17:50] ubuntukicks: theres plenty of free/legal tool-live-cd's out that do most everything ive ever needed [17:50] it suck i can't get 10.04 on the laptop i got to use 9.10. [17:50] ubuntu upgrade advisor said to me to install new kernel .....i dont know is it neccessary [17:50] dr_willis I'm thinking there is something wrong with the disk maybe... sometimes when I reboot it still doesn't see it [17:50] webPragmatist: --bwlimit seems promising [17:50] webPragmatist, --bwlimit=KBPS [17:50] Kunin: ive found that hard drives are the 'weakest' link. these days [17:50] webPragmatist, read man page [17:50] hi.. i have Ubuntu 10.0.4 installed on this machine which has 3GB RAM [17:50] Hey guys im looking at the easiest way to mount a directory from one ubuntu server into another. what im trying to do is i have a storage server and would like my webserver to be able to use some of the space there any suggestion on how to do it [17:51] how much memory can Ubuntu see (32-bit architecture) [17:51] Doonz: nfs can do it [17:51] dr_willis ocz vertex, I had just flashed it to 1.6, the flash disk sees it every time... but live cds are having a hard time [17:51] Kunin: watch dmesg out put for various messages about it. you could 'zero' the drive with dd, as an extreme way to try to hammer it into submission. [17:51] nishttal: 4GB minus some for harware and such [17:51] also i dont use printer nor bluetooth there are plenty of updates on my list how to filter them [17:51] do all wireless routers use 2.4 GHz range? [17:51] Kunin: its one of those new 'sdd' type disks? [17:51] dr_willis decided to flash the disk, then afterwards (everything seemed fine) upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04... that's where I went wrong, upgrades hate me [17:51] Slart, so I can add 1 GB more to increase performance? [17:51] nishttal: but I think the latest version installs a PAE kernel if it detects more than 4GB of memory.. [17:51] Kunin: or what do youy mean by 'flash the disk' ? [17:51] dr_willis yeah, it's a ssd... but I've had NO problems with it for almost a year [17:52] dr_willis firmware upgrade [17:52] he meant format?????? [17:52] Slart, basically I am running windows in a virtual box and need to give it more (it currently has 1 GB) [17:52] hey, how can I install libcurl-dev for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx? [17:52] Kunin: ive never even seen a SDD. so cant help then. Could be some bug. I need space. not speed. :) [17:52] it's not inthe repos [17:52] nishttal: PAE = physical address extensions.. ie makes it able to use up to.. something like 32 GB or so [17:52] Slart, on a 32 bit system? [17:52] ubuntu should provide more information about updates [17:52] dr_willis the 4TB lvm/raid array is for storage :P [17:52] nishttal: yes [17:52] nishttal, Slart: But still only 4gb of ram per process. [17:52] nishttal: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [17:53] Kunin: ive found in the past.. i do better if i keep things simple. :) no more raids for me. or other fancy things. [17:53] Kunin: i got 5+TB in slow external usb hd's :) [17:53] Pici: PAE = 1.8GB ram per process and more then 4GB for the whole system [17:53] is there away i can update mwavem in 9.10? [17:53] Slart, great... thanks, i wont be increasing it beyond 4GB anyways [17:54] dr_willis it's got to be the drive... this time bios isn't seeing it [17:54] perlsyntax: search for ppa's or use the source. [17:54] iceroot: thanks. [17:54] iceroot, so Virtualbox wont be able to get 2GB ?? [17:54] Kunin: ouch. Thats big $$ also isent it. [17:54] nishttal: with pae only 1.8gb for each vm [17:54] nishttal: use amd64 [17:54] dr_willis it's only a 32G drive (OS drive), so not too much... not that I can really afford to go get a new one right now [17:54] What do AMD64 users do now for flash? [17:54] perlsyntax, lucid? [17:54] bye guys [17:55] iceberg, amd64 in virtual machine? [17:55] nishttal: also 32bit = 4gb (ram + vga ram) [17:55] Since they discontinued 64 bit flash for linux, are we stuck with 32 bit? Why does Adobe suck so much balls? [17:55] yep could i down the deb from there for 9.10 [17:55] dr_willis to make things more fun, it appears that my keyboard is dieing, ESC through F4 do not seem to work anymore [17:55] perlsyntax, sorry just saw the 9.10 [17:55] nishttal: usre, called vt-x (intel) and anoother name for amd i dont know [17:55] maletor what are you talking about? I use 64bit with flash... [17:55] iceroot, got it [17:55] mmm there could be away i can fix it. [17:56] Kunin: But that has a vulnerability [17:56] Kunin: thats why they discontinued it [17:56] Kunin: where did you get it. the adobe website says they don't support it. [17:56] Kunin: http://www.archlinux.org/news/501/ I am more of an archlinux user so http://www.archlinux.org/news/501/ [17:56] maletor probably apt seeing as I almost never go to a companies site directly [17:57] perlsyntax, looks like that package is the same in both karmic and lucid in terms of versions [17:57] hi all, I have a huge problem [17:57] apt is only 32 bit [17:57] I updated my machine [17:57] for flash [17:57] on 9.04 and it wont boot [17:57] !enter | kielanmatt_ [17:57] kielanmatt_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

I think PulseAudio is contributing to my problem. Is there a way I can temporarily disable it and use skype with ALSA directly? [17:57] maletor 64bit install, I use flash all the time [17:57] perlsyntax, you could try that but I dont think anything will happen [17:58] okay - was there a libgtk2.0-0 update today? [17:58] sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree is a 32 bit package [17:58] Kunin: but the flash from ubuntu-repos is 32bit with a 64bit wrapper [17:58] perlsyntax, you could download the pacakge and install it mwavem [17:58] i know this because when i go to youtube the interface is all fscked [17:58] coz_,where can i do that. [17:58] because i thought maybe it came from an update in one of my ppa's but i'm not finding it at all [17:58] perlsyntax, mwavem [17:58] yes [17:58] perlsyntax, http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/lucid/mwavem [17:59] *shrug* all I know is 64bit install, flash works just fine [17:59] perlsyntax, or http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/karmic/mwavem [17:59] guys, are you familiar with serial connections in linux? I think I've tried just about everything to establish a connection and I'm running out of ideas [17:59] Kunin: flash is never working fine, but sometims its working not so bad [17:59] Kunin: you know they found some serious security flaws in the 64bit version of the flash plugin.. that's why they removed it [17:59] Futureproof: i typically just do "screen /dev/ttySX 115200" [18:00] Futureproof, if no one can help here go to the ##linux channel...they have a broader base of information [18:00] it will not let me install that odd. [18:00] BitWraith, what makes you think pulseaudio is the problem [18:00] symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_malloc_n [18:01] something about the channel [18:01] if it was as simple as starting a screen session, I wouldn't be bugging you guys for help [18:01] perlsyntax, how are you trying to install it and what is the exact error? pastebin it if it is more than 2 lines [18:01] airtonix, I have used skype before on my gentoo machine, on that I am able to switch audio devices using the skype menus [18:01] Futureproof, you mean a serial connection via rs232 ? [18:01] Futureproof, I personally can't answer that and again if no one here can try ##linux channel [18:01] For Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, is there a fix for the flash player crashing in Firefox when browsing in a separate tab? [18:01] answer what? i've yet to see him ask a question [18:02] what the paste link i forgot.silly me. [18:02] yes, a physical serial connection from a linux box to a hardware device [18:02] BitWraith, so how does that tell you pulse audio is the problem ? [18:02] on ubuntu, however, skype trusts pulse to do all of that, and I can't find any menus to control pulse on xubuntu other than the mixer icon in the upper right hand corner [18:02] BitWraith, you need to install padevchooser [18:02] I would like to just use skype without it, I think then skype will show me a list ofr soundcards again [18:02] coz_: thanks , I'm in that channel too [18:02] Howdy Ya'll ! Just back from a beach vacation [18:02] Futureproof, cool [18:02] perlsyntax, pastebin.com [18:03] Have you been playing well with others while I was gone? [18:03] BitWraith, then run it [18:03] has anyone seen ubuntu do "something" where it seems like there is an app that is stealing focus every few minutes? i am trying to track down what may or may not be causing this, and i'm at a loss [18:03] Sam_Fisher: and you jump right into the sea of offtopic-ness =) [18:03] any one know howto create a user and pass a password at the same time [18:03] Slart, true dat [18:03] not every few minutes - every few seconds [18:03] this from bash/sheel script [18:03] here the paste logs [18:03] also, pulseaudio just gives me static when I try to listen to the mic on my main soundcard :-/ [18:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/456491/ [18:03] Lord_Rahl: there has to be a switch for the adduser/useradd command [18:04] coz_To much starbucks drink today lol. [18:04] BitWraith, have you tried all the options to get the right input [18:04] BitWraith, there is a bug fix that is old from like 8.0 [18:04] Lord_Rahl: (I can't remember which one you're supposed to use.. check that before trying) [18:04] perlsyntax, mm and you say this is ubuntu karmic or ubuntu lucid? [18:04] Slart, there is a -p but that to encrypt the pass [18:04] 9.10 [18:04] Sam_Fisher, yeah, I'm running an older install... 8.10 IIRC, so that's probably been fixed by now [18:04] Does anyone have a fix for the flash player crashing while browsing in another tab? [18:04] dr_willis grumble, OCZ says RMA it... sigh [18:04] * airtonix is convinced most issues with pulseaudio are people just not bothering to configure the thing via gui [18:04] perlsyntax, did you download from this link http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/karmic/mwavem [18:05] Dr_Willis, Hey Doc [18:05] Lord_Rahl: try a script out there called Super Adduser [18:05] Is anyone familiar with getting USB based microphones working in 10.04? [18:05] I can't get 10.04 to work on my laptop so i stay on 9.10 to [18:06] i tryt hat no lucky [18:06] airtonix, I installed padevchooser and ran it. nothing happens [18:06] same error with that one to. [18:06] juken, plug it in reboot and go to sound prefs? [18:06] perlsyntax, so that second link I gave for the 9.10 download didnt work either? [18:06] BitWraith, because you still have to choose the input. [18:07] I did intall scanModem [18:07] right [18:07] oh, it's in the little tray up there... I didn't see it [18:07] I thought it would open a window [18:07] -_- [18:07] * airtonix cries [18:07] Lord_Rahl: perhaps there is a way to do something like adduser someguy -p `getencryptedpassword IAMAWESOME` [18:07] how do I make an ubuntu based distro in vbox boot with a 1024x768 screen resolution? [18:07] maybe i should reinstall 9.10 [18:08] is there any work around for wireless keyboard/mouse with the 10.04 livecd? Besides buying a wired set? [18:08] Slart, try that does not work. It will not set a password for them [18:08] perlsyntax, does the live CD work perfect? [18:08] perlsyntax, mm then I am not sure and a reinstallation would work I would run the live cd first and hit the Check cd for erros before reinstalling [18:08] hi how do i select firefox to open my links? [18:08] BitWraith: i'm not expert, there are many 'workarounds' to be found. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=790889 talks about disabling pulse temporarily (and all other sounds going through it) while using skype. This sounds like the workaround you are looking for. [18:08] i never had a prob with 9.10 before. [18:08] Kunin, My Logitech works [18:08] How do I go into sudo for the cd/dvd burner please? I've tried sudo burn:/// but I get nothing. Yet burn:/// works?? [18:08] yes the live cd work good [18:09] Slart, not i big deal. I thought I was missing something. guess I was not [18:09] it install on the hardriv [18:09] sam_fisher wireless? Mine didn't once it booted up, and the old unplug/plug trick didn't work [18:09] Using gnome by the way. [18:09] hi i selected a link in firefox, i was prompted to ask which application to use to open it. i want to select firefox. where do i find it in ubuntu? i am 1 month old user of ubuntu [18:09] Lord_Rahl: nope.. one reason for it might be that is shows up in the bash history and such.. [18:09] perlsyntax, Did the 10.04 live cd work? [18:09] Lord_Rahl: perhaps that's why they designed it that way [18:09] nope i have prob with the vido card on that. [18:10] Kunin, is yours logitech and real old? [18:10] some type o bug waiing for them to fix it for 10.10 [18:10] Sam_Fisher: doesn't work =/ [18:10] sam_fisher logitech, and not that old... mx5500 [18:11] Slart, maybe oh well what one more prompt in a shell script :) [18:11] mmm, my logitech bluetooth keyboard refuses to work, i just keep getting HUP or ERR on socket [18:11] Lord_Rahl: =) [18:11] maybe remove modemanager [18:11] i think i did that before. [18:11] perlsyntax, when talking with someone on irc it is best to type the first 2 or 3 letters of their name and hit tab to complet it then type the message ....this way the person will see the text change color so they know someone is speaking to them :) [18:12] Hi -- on Lucid, trying to get VPN working. I add a VPN connection using network manager, then try to connect, nothing happens. Next time I go to network manager, the definition is gone [18:12] hi i selected a link in firefox, i was prompted to ask which application to use to open it. i want to select firefox. where do i find it in ubuntu? i am 1 month old user of ubuntu is it in usr folder? [18:12] sorry [18:12] coz_ perlsyntax, otherwise the message could get lost in a channel as fast paced as this no apologies needed it is for your benefit :) [18:12] FileZilla appears not to show hidden files on my web space, so I can't get my backup really. Am I stupid, or is this normal? Or might it be a server side thing? [18:12] Kunin, lomoco is in synaptic to configure logitech USB mice [18:12] what should I try when the computer (old slow XP machine) won't boot from a CD nor an USB? [18:12] perlsyntax, I am not sure about that ... I know too little about that particular package [18:13] ihope someone knows. [18:13] perlsyntax, so you found an Intel vidie card on board? [18:13] sam_fisher which does no good if you can't type [18:13] ? [18:13] Ose, desktop or laptop? [18:13] how can i issue a sudoed command through a bash command without entering my password [18:13] laptop [18:13] what you mean Sam_Fisher [18:14] (I was thinking of trying the netbook edition) [18:14] perlsyntax, did you say you had video card issues? [18:14] resno: by setting nopassword in /etc/sudoers (use visudo to edit it) [18:14] This thing is weird, all disc burners on Ubuntu can't burn a folder, all I get is the folder and no contents!? Why? [18:14] yes in 10.04 the sceen goes black. [18:14] Tried built in and Gnomebaker, what am I doing wrong? [18:14] Ose, Set BIOS to boot USB and to boot to the cd drive FIRST [18:15] rubbs: I've manage to recover some files from /home/.ecryptfs/user/.Private [18:15] Kunin, Oh sorry [18:15] Sam_Fisher: tried that, there is no USB option, and XP is booted even if CD is on the top of the list [18:15] Kunin, thinking..... [18:15] i'm trying to upgrade firefox with this command [18:16] sudo -s apt-get upgrade firefox [18:16] Ose, find the BIOS reset or restore option and set it and reboot [18:16] yakoza, that won't do it [18:16] Ose, have you updated to the latest BIOS? [18:16] Sam_Fisher: no [18:17] yakoza, when a new version is released then you can upgrade [18:17] bazhang: what should i do ? [18:17] anyone? [18:17] dr_willis same deal trying to delete the partition table, i/o error and then the whole disk poofs... definately the disk is bad [18:17] yakoza, ie when a new package appears in the repositories [18:17] Can Kunin download the Logitech driver and boot into LIVE CD and then from a thumbdrive access the beeded wireless keybaord driver? [18:17] coz_ is there any other package i need to install. [18:17] my current ver is 3.0.8 [18:17] yakoza, what version of ubuntu [18:18] bazhang: 9.04 [18:18] perlsyntax, there are dependencies for that package that are listed on that link I gave you [18:18] hi [18:18] that package didn't work [18:18] perlsyntax, but if it is not picking up on those something else may be causing problems [18:18] Im trying to configure a MD 85637 USB graphics tablet [18:18] coz_Should i reinstall 9.10 [18:18] perlsyntax, what is going on that you need this package again? [18:19] I found out I had to use the "walcom" driver but I don't know how to configure X to use it [18:19] Ose, perhaps an BIOS update if the reset doesn't work. [18:19] i di install the modem driver before and remove it. [18:19] I was told about a "MatchProduct" keyword but I don't know what it is supposed to match :D [18:19] coz_ [18:19] could someone help? [18:19] perlsyntax, yes ? [18:20] coz_ could that be the prob [18:20] raze: that's good to hear. Still can't get them all? [18:20] perlsyntax, I am not sure what is giving you issues that you feel this particular package needs to be reinstalled? [18:20] coz_Maybe i should try a differnet mwavem [18:20] rubbs: only .cashe which feels kinda useless [18:21] question, when i do a $ mv /dir/foo /dir/bar is there anyway to not have to retype the whole path for the destination, if it s gonna be at the same level? [18:21] raze: that's weird. so it's because the dir names are too long? [18:21] markitoxs: use relative path. [18:21] perlsyntax, I dont think there is one well let me clarify that... the pacakge version seems to be the same but the dependencies are different for karmic and lucid [18:21] perlsyntax, I dont think there is another package for that [18:21] rubbs: nvm I changed my target and now everything is here [18:21] markitoxs:" mv foo bar " should work [18:22] rubbs: So I've succeded, thank you very much. [18:22] erUSUL, but what about if my path its simply / [18:22] perlsyntax, so let me ask again...what is giving you the information that this particular package needs to be installed? [18:22] when i try to install (x)ubuntu 9.10 or 10.4 to a pata disk (foramly used in a raid aray. ) - the installer is borking me that its trying to install to /dev/mapper/eeeffaabb1 rather than to hd0 or sd1 [18:22] raze: good to hear. sorry it was so hard and I wasn't too helpful. [18:22] in gpart i get to see booth, dev/mapprer/abcdef1 and dev/sda1 where as i only have 1 pata drive and a dvdrom drive [18:22] and to the rest that helped/tried to help me. [18:22] raze: glad to see it worked out though. [18:22] erUSUL, , eg.my working directory [18:22] I'm having trouble with the installer freezing - as soon as I hit "install ubuntu" it freezes. Even when I choose the other options like "acpi=off" and "noapic" checked [18:22] Anyone have ideas about what causes that? [18:23] markitoxs: as i said « mv foo bar » will rename foo in you directory to bar [18:23] !cli | markitoxs [18:23] markitoxs: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[18:24] erUSUL, ikts just its a pain in the ass to rename files with a long path if you are not within that path [18:24] even if i use a paperclip to try and force the thing open it still fails to eject [18:24] russ, get to the point! [18:25] markitoxs: again. « mv foo bar » should work if you have the correct permissions. ( in / you need to use sudo ) [18:25] erUSUL , again, foo is not in the current dir... :D [18:25] When I boot up, my wireless always asks for a password. Can I do this automatically? [18:26] rubbs: If I now move them outside the encrypted folder they will be decrypted right? [18:26] markitoxs: how about DIR=/dir mv $DIR/foo $DIR/bar [18:26] (or, how about just cd'ing to the directory first :P) [18:26] raze: yes [18:26] russ, check the box to remember pswd [18:26] LjL, yeah maybe... its not that bad idea...

[18:27] coz_, you know when you are in a directoy, and you need to rename a file from another directory, and you need to type the whole path, twice, it gets annoyinf if it is a long one [18:27] anothernewbie, mm probabaly some tutorials on specific firewall applications on google [18:28] Has anyone else tried insalling vmware-player 3.1, and then run Empathy? I get a hard freeze every time. When I uninstall vmware, it's happy again.

This happens on every AP. Wi-Fi works fine on winblows. How can I debug my problem?

Are you running gparted as root? [18:42] Alan502, its a PITA to install the official nvidia drivers on lucid [18:42] than inserted parted magic 4.9 live... and tried it from there... why gparte now sees it as sda1 the installer still sees dev / mapper / abcedf1 (linear raid sata device ) [18:43] Alan502, and last I tried it after blacklisting nouveau and related things it would freeze on occasion [18:43] other accounts log in EN even when choosing my 2nd language [18:43] coz_, it is -.-' i spent yesterday morning trying to install the 256 driver but i couldn't [18:43] Alan502, it is one of the big reason I dont use lucid [18:43] and firefox starts in my 2nd language even thu i m choosing EN [18:44] coz_, i had to install the one on the repositories, but its 197 o.O and it doesnt support multiple monitors apparently [18:44] coz_, yeah, that's a very big problem [18:44] Hi All, anybody know what this means at startup? 15.264138 nForce2_smbus 0000:00:0a.1: Error probing SMB1 [18:44] coz_, are you still using 9.10? [18:44] Alan502 actually if you open up system/administration/hardware drivers you want to install the nvidia-current [18:44] Ahojky:p [18:44] Alan502, yes I will not use lucid as I didnt gutsy [18:44] Hello :) [18:45] i ran it from the partedmagic live - so i guess - im not sure [18:45] coz_, i installed nvidia-current but it doesn't support multiple monitors i think [18:45] nedd step by step to remember pswd on 9.04 [18:45] Hi. I've recently moved my MySQL databases to a new server (I really just backed them up and reinstalled the OS), but the long story is that I no longer have the correct debian-sys-maint password. Is there an easy way to reset this? [18:45] Alan502, well I have multiple monitors on this system and when I had lucid installed it did support very well [18:45] coz_, lame, i was so excited to update and then i find out that my card doesn't work properly :\ [18:45] russ, ?? [18:46] coz_, i don't know what i might be doing wrong then [18:46] Alan502, well the nvidia-current in jockey should work [18:46] coz_, on karmic i configured multiple monitors with the nvidia-settings utility [18:46] Alan502, how are you trying to enable twinview? [18:46] whats the chanel for debain packaging [18:46] Runeg: - not sure.... [18:46] Njh: ask in #debian ? [18:46] coz_, not twin view, but a separate x screen [18:46] Alan502, right and the same is true on lucid with the nvidia_current driver [18:46] I'm a little confused about the names of the input sources as far as microphones go. If I am using a USB microphone, should I have things like front mic muted or unmuted? [18:46] Alan502, ah well even on lucid that should not have changed with nvidia-settings [18:47] need to remember password, please step by step, using 9.04 [18:47] is there a way to get my microphone to be output through my headphones? I feel like I'm speaking into a vaccuum.... [18:47] coz_, i know right, but it doesn't work for me. I only get a black screen on my second monitor and when i move my cursor over that screen it becomes x-shaped [18:48] Alan502, whoa ! thats unusual [18:48] does anyone know about packaging and synaptic? [18:48] Runeg: - not sure.... BUT: when i reboot and load up parted magic / or gparted again i see the changes, - but when i load the installer - its /that dreaded serial ata raid thing again [18:48] Alan502, which driver version is installed? [18:48] coz_, haha, i know! [18:48] coz_, the one nvdia-current installs is 197 i think [18:48] Alan502, eww that is not a good driver [18:49] really i am not getting what you mean? remember password? write it down? can you give more details? which password? [18:49] russ, ^^ [18:49] Ichat: can only guess that the raid info still left on the other drive is informing the installer that it is supposed to be a raid array. [18:49] Alan502, and whoever made it impossible to install official drivers should be fed peanut butter and anchovies on pumpernickel bread [18:49] abhi nav, when I bootup, I always have to type in password to wireless. I want to have it automatic [18:49] thune3_: - there is only 1 drive on it [18:50] and gparted says it gave the drive a new partition table [18:50] Alan502, there is a way to do this however [18:50] Alan502, let me see if I can find a good tutorial on what to do to install the official driver ...hold on [18:51] Alan502, ok I already assume you have installed build-essential? [18:52] Alan502, you still here? [18:53] russ, we dont need to type wifi password each time is is only one time [18:53] abhi nav - are you there? [18:53] Hi, I'm trying to do a sudo apt-get install build-essential and am not able to do so due to a bunch of dependency errors: http://pastebin.com/ShUf1pfF [18:53] russ, click on connect automatically. [18:53] anyone have any clue as to why I'm getting these dependency errors and how to correct? [18:54] rubbs, its not abhi nav its abhi_nav. type some initials of nick and then press tab [18:54] Ichat, another uninformed guess is that some setting in bios is informing installer of raid. [18:54] seedofc: line 5 You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these [18:54] seedofc, thats odd... can you pastebin.com the actual terminal readout with the errors please? [18:54] seedofc: so try sudo apt-get -f install [18:54] seedofc, have you tried this: E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).? [18:55] erUSUL: I did, but it wants to uninstall ALL of my packages and essentially reinstall them [18:55] russ, , its not abhi nav its abhi_nav. type some initials of nick and then press tab [18:55] Alan502, [18:55] in fact, it says that I'm about to do something that is potentially dangerous [18:55] seedofc, o0 [18:55] :o [18:55] and forces me to type in "Yes, Do as I say!" to confirm! [18:55] seedofc, can I see the readout of the terminl [18:55] seedofc: aptitude why-not g++ [18:55] Is there a way to share folders to and from Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP via LiceCD ? [18:55] liveCD * [18:56] coz_: I pased the pastebin above. Here it is again: http://pastebin.com/ShUf1pfF [18:56] \part [18:56] * blendmaster1024 is mad: why are all laptop screens widescreen!? [18:56] oops wrong channel [18:56] seedofc, well you can certainly to the sudo apt-get install -f and type "Y" [18:57] blendmaster1024: Don't care for the wide formats? [18:57] abhi_nav, where on dropdown menu do I go please? [18:57] seedofc: the main problem seems to be libc6: Depends: libc-bin (= 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1) but it is not installable [18:57] erUSUL: are you saying I should install g++ first? I've just never seen a dependency error on an apt-get install, so I'm a bit worried here. I thought the concept of apt/aptitude was to identify dependencies and download/install them as needed. [18:57] seedofc, this is ubuntu lucid? [18:57] russ, no not on drop down menu. you have this optio on the window where you can type network name, ip4 adress etc in that windows on top [18:57] Cajun_Lan_Man, they're lower pixel count for the same price as a fullscreen [18:57] seedofc: so « aptitude why-not libc-bin » may shed some light [18:58] after considering what happends this whole day I recommend to make this channel for registered nicks only! [18:58] seedofc: aptitude why and why-not commands may say why or why not some package is/isnt't installed [18:58] blendmaster1024: That all depends. I've got a 5 year old laptop with a 17" 1920x1200 screen. Hard to argue with that one. [18:58] erUSUL: I'm running Jaunty (9.04 server). No, it actually wont let me confirm apt-get -f install with a "Y", you must type out the whole thing because of the potential harm you're about to do to your server... [18:59] erUSUL: ahhh, didn't know that re: why/why-not. I'll give that a shot [18:59] seedofc: again can you run « aptitude why-not libc-bin » ? [18:59] Ichat: i saw some references to this command "mdadm --zero-superblock " to be run on a device not currently in a raid array (after stopping "mdadm --stop /dev/md" ) [18:59] thune3_ - thats what i thought, troube is there is no (fake) raid - on the system... and i even reset the bios to fail safe (just to make sure) [18:59] Ichat: i can't speak to its potential destructiveness === Klapo_ is now known as Klapo [19:00] blendmaster1024: but I can't figure out why so many laptops have such low rez even today.

It's historically been patched by hand for .29 kernel and higher because of various changes in the driver interfaces... but 10.04 now runs 2.6.32 which I cant find patches against. I've searched the web for days, please anyone with insight lend a hand? the reason for 9.3 is because my ATI is an X300, support was dropped [19:12] afterwards. free driver is horrible [19:13] juken: Yes. try one of those options then check your input tab as some normally have more than one input device [19:13] someone had make work the spreadsheet activeX control in IE6 inside of Ubuntu9.10?

[19:31] diago, there are several but if you have ffmpeg installed it is much easier [19:31] ^A^kira: I have one micboost slider [19:31] ubutom: Thank you. [19:31] brb guys thanks for the help thus far [19:31] coz_, i know right, but it's weird because nvidia-settings detects my second monitor while kde system settings doesn't (i'm using kubuntu) [19:31] seems whlspacedude beat me lol [19:31] Alanatiir, I mean jockey handles restricted drivers now [19:31] ^A^kira: wait, I have two mic boost sliders [19:31] just noticed [19:31] Alanatiir, could be that envyng was moved to another repo [19:31] <^A^kira> willwork4foo: does alsamixer affect your recording at all? [19:31] <^A^kira> oh... check it out then [19:32] diago, the command would be ffmpeg -i nameof.avi nameof.mpeg4 [19:32] Is the 386 a more stable build or something?

[19:32] oh cool thanks coz_ [19:32] diabolic_, there are also applicatoins maybe winff or handbrake [19:32] That kinda raised some questions [19:32] daRPiniOn, its wrong not updated. 64 bit is recommended over 32 [19:32] daRPiniOn: yeah, ignore that wording [19:32] abhi_nav that's what I figured as 386 won't recognize but a third of my total RAM [19:32] <^A^kira> willwork4foo: does alsamixer affect your recording at all? [19:32] coz_: is that the preferred format for small file size good quality? [19:33] ^A^kira: I've tried it again - Alsamixer affects my volume output [19:33] daRPiniOn, hmm [19:33] <^A^kira> and input? [19:33] I can't check that it affects my recording, since I only have the internal mic [19:33] diago, I have had no real issues with it however it is all lossy conversion though [19:33] I can hear my voice on the playback, but only very very faintly [19:33] im using ubuntu 9.04, always a update screen for 9.10 appears onto screen, i never updated ... incase i do update, whatz next...does it asks me for 10.4 update or not ? is it possible jumps from 9.04 to 10.4 update .. what i need to do [19:33] and everything is turned up full [19:33] abhi_nav would you recommend a program other than Image Burn to put the .iso image on a dvd? [19:33] diabolic_, Handbrake does a nice job though as well as ffmpeg [19:33] <^A^kira> willwork4foo: i mean turn it off complitely in alsamixer [19:33] diabolic_, sorry [19:33] <^A^kira> and check if it does work [19:33] Win7 64 bit is my current OS [19:33] ^A^kira: ok, will do [19:34] Nevermind, I figured out the access, but jockey-gtk doesn't like this laptop. No 'restricted drivers' are "in use on this system". Guess I'm already as updated as I can get. [19:34] diago, Handbrake does a nice job as well as ffmpeg so first thing to try would be sudo apt-get install ffmpeg and give a whirl [19:34] <^A^kira> also on my eeepc i remember i had problem when digital was maxed out i had no input from mic [19:34] prodcutnews1: You need to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and then to 10.04 [19:34] How can I display what processor I have? [19:34] Is Netbook Remix expected to be buggier than the regular Ubuntu?

[19:35] ^A^kira: if I mute the mic in alsamixer, I get nothing at all on the sound recorder playback. If I put all the sliders up to full, then I get a very faint recording [19:35] What about games? [19:35] Anyone know how to take a screenshot using the Mac Keyboard?? [19:35] This is the only reason I've stayed away from Linux up until now [19:36] daRPiniOn, Steam is being ported to Linux, but already has company support for the Windows version to run by CodeWeavers [19:36] DarkStar1, wow I have absolutely no idea with that one [19:36] Very nice, NthDegree [19:36] daRPiniOn, yah thats where win is liittel bit ahead. but its because they do lobbying with big companies like disney etc [19:36] This torrent for the alternate iso is downloading at LIGHT SPEED [19:36] ubutom: Is there any way to get it to find more drivers, because it's not giving me any choices for updated drivers. I know the chipset is old, but even so...there should be something I can use to get the most out of the graphics built into this laptop. [19:36] DarkStar1, let me look at my mac keyboard hold on [19:36] daRPiniOn, Unreal Tournament has had ports for all versions right from GOTY [19:36] 1.5MB/second [19:36] coz_: ...

[19:36] NthDegree: I LOVE Unreal Tournament! :) [19:36] great game [19:36] Alanatiir, depends very much on the igp you are using [19:36] DarkSector, is there an F13 on that keyboard? [19:36] which package to install for sys.bitypes.h [19:36] NthDegree -- seems like Blizzard will get on board very soon then [19:36] gionnico, sorry... i went to buy something for lunch :-p [19:37] daRPiniOn: A few options...VirtualBox to Windows, Wine, or find games that have a native debian-based installer. [19:37] Does utorrent run in Linux? [19:37] coz_: lol no [19:37] ubutom: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2008/Triton/1015086R/1015086Rsp4.shtml [19:37] More specifically ubuntu [19:37] daRPiniOn, World Of Warcraft for Windows has professional support in an app called CrossOver Games [19:37] DarkSector, ok which model is this keyboard? [19:37] Very cool [19:37] which package to install for sys/bitypes.h [19:37] daRPiniOn, ther are great torrent software for linux. and remember for every (so called) great aps on win there is equivalent or much powerful alternate on linux. [19:37] ubuntu is looking like the most sharp OS i've seen [19:37] gionnico, you can set the password for the default ubuntu user and for root... [19:37] graphically [19:38] coz_: Well this is a standard US layout. In my notebook, HP 6730b [19:38] daRPiniOn: I read somewhere last wek that it was in the process of being ported [19:38] Alanatiir, I think x1250 isn't supported by new radeon driver [19:38] awesom abhi_nav I may completely cross over [19:38] rashd7_: libc6-dev [19:38] Awesome awesome [19:38] daRPiniOn, a really bad company makes a product called Cedega which claims to run many Windows-only games on Linux, but the experience is buggy [19:38] ubutom: What about an older radeon driver? [19:38] This is music to my ears [19:38] <_johnny> i've had some trouble installing (or rather config'ing/connecting) to a mysql on my ubuntu system. i've tried compiling manually, and sudo apt-get install mysql-server; dpkg-(re)configure mysql-server-5.0 setting the root pw to whatever, but no matter what, i get Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES). any ideas? [19:38] daRPiniOn, yah sure. i already!!! [19:38] edwin-sv: i see sudo passwd [19:38] I see [19:38] for the ubuntu default user just type: sudo passwd [19:38] :) [19:38] Pici: thanks [19:38] gionnico, :-P [19:38] daRPiniOn, however, Wine is surpassing Cedega and can run most games if you remove the copy protection [19:38] coz_: I'm using the size zero model, usb Keyboard [19:38] altnerate torrent @ 50% [19:38] !noroot | gionnico edwin-sv [19:38] gionnico edwin-sv: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [19:39] Pici: it's for livecd [19:39] Wine is a program for higher accessibility? [19:39] DarkSector, similar to this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard [19:39] I recently did an apt-get upgrade and now ssh is refusing remote logins to my server. I'm don't know what config files to look at. Hints, please, anyone? [19:39] In Linux? [19:39] daRPiniOn, yes.. there are legit reasons to no-cd games... :^ [19:39] :) heheh [19:39] daRPiniOn, it's a userland compatibility layer [19:39] Alanatiir, good question, only thing I know is with 9.10 fglrx still worked on my x1800xt card, replaced it with a 3870, older driver could work, but don't know if you can use it on 10.04 [19:39] !wine | daRPiniOn [19:39] daRPiniOn: 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 [19:39] Does anyone know how to properly setup he-ipv6 through /etc/network/interfaces? [19:39] coz_: That's the exact keyboard [19:39] NTQ: the command for adding the ppa is "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ajmitch/ppa" or pasting ppa:ajmitch/ppa into sofware sources>other>add. The only package in the ppa which does not have a higher version in the normal repos is libsdl1.2. [19:39] thnx for the link [19:39] !wmf | edwin-sv [19:39] ubutom: How would I attempt to load 9.10's fglrx in 10.04? [19:40] daRPiniOn, if you know how Windows truly works, in terms of what runtimes/settings you need for each app to run, a lot of stuff works in Wine [19:40] HOpefully in upcoming semesters I will learn more about Linux -- as I said I'm quite new [19:40] DarkStar1, there is a section there about printscreen for the f13 f14 and f15 buttons [19:40] thune3_: thx, I will check it [19:40] coz_: except the fact that it is NOT apple [19:40] coz_: HP [19:40] I understand NthDegree [19:40] daRPiniOn, my name is on AppDB as having made Windows Genuine Advantage Validation work in Wine :P [19:40] !wfm | edwin-sv [19:40] edwin-sv, please see my private message [19:40] * NthDegree brags moar! === Seeker`_ is now known as Seeker [19:40] Very nice!

[19:40] Alanatiir, not sure, think you also had to downgrade x, don't know if that works without breaking the system [19:40] Are you in this IRC channel often? [19:40] i have been trying to get qavimator to work, i have managed to get it working through the make install command but i still get segfault when i do the run command, help please [19:40] my 5g ipod video is getting errors with podsleuth [19:40] we all are!!! [19:40] DarkStar1, ah ok === Seeker is now known as Seeker` [19:41] Where are you guys from? [19:41] The States? [19:41] Hi! How can I disable the preview of pdfs in firefox by the adobe plugin? [19:41] coz_: yeah [19:41] no [19:41] daRPiniOn: please stay on topic [19:41] daRPiniOn, reasonably these days [19:41] ubutom: Would it just be better if I downgraded to 9.10, and deal with not being on a LTS version? [19:41] !offtopic @ daRPiniOn [19:41] !ot | daRPiniOn [19:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:41] daRPiniOn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:41] <_johnny> please, anyone know a thing or two about mysql? please look at my question [19:41] OK - so I've managed to get things a little louder on my mic, but the quality is absolutely AWFUL [19:41] Sorry [19:41] DarkStar1, ah what is the model of the laptop again? [19:41] coz_: it is apple keyboard [19:41] where should i go to get some help diagnosing a remote login problem? #bash? #ssh? #telnet? [19:41] daRPiniOn, come there. a lots of fun there [19:41] DarkStar1, ok now i am confused [19:42] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: that would probably depend on which remote login protocol you use [19:42] yeah daRPiniOn #ubuntu-offtopic is lovely :D [19:42] Alanatiir, yeah, for the time being maybe the best, or you use the free drivers [19:42] Aggrav8d: depends on the protocol. [19:42] well I'm just trying to ssh into my local box [19:42] abhi_nav, or NthDegree what is the difference again between the alternate .iso and original? [19:42] <_johnny> canthus13: thanks for repeating my answer [19:42] Why do you think it will solve my problem? [19:42] daRPiniOn, the installer [19:42] coz_: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB869LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MTA4Mzc5NDY [19:42] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: which error do you get? [19:42] i can access it fine if the keyboard is plugged in, but in a recent upgrade i lost samba and remote ssh. [19:42] I have very new gear in my PC [19:42] daRPiniOn, the installer is an older one, it is text-based and harder to use but more reliable [19:43] connection is refused on port 22. [19:43] coz_: It is the Apple keyboard. Darksector is worng [19:43] NthDegree -- Will I have an easy time navigating through the installer [19:43] ? [19:43] <_johnny> and openssh (or another variant) is installed and running as service on the box? [19:43] DarkStar1: wut ? [19:43] _johnny: should be. lemme go check. [19:43] DarkStar1: dude do you even know what he asked ? [19:43] daRPiniOn, if you know how to partition using Windows XP's installer then yeah [19:43] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: and it's not firewalled? [19:43] DarkStar1, so you have an "fn" key? [19:43] ubutom: The free drivers won't let me play with Regnum Online, because (presumably) I cannot use S3TC textures. When I try 'driconf' to override this (which results in screwed up textures when it does work), I get nothing but error messages that suggest my tinkering with fglrx has screwed something up with the open-source driver I'm forced to use. [19:44] daRPiniOn, if you know how to answer technical questions like your network IP address and such, then yeah ;) [19:44] how about that my problem [19:44] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: well, if you can do ssh --version on the box then it shold be running and listing unless you've specifically told it not to run [19:44] i want to mount a ext3 where every file has 1000:1000 as permissions [19:44] daRPiniOn, the desktop CD installer is meant to be idiot-proof and it makes loads of assumptions on your behalf [19:44] but dont want to change that forever [19:44] NthDegree - I formatted a partition in FAT32 as opposed to NTFS simply because I heard that Ubuntu will only run on FAT32 unless installed in Windows directly [19:44] just be able to write when i'm using the livecd [19:44] ssh is running, connection is still refused. [19:44] DarkSector: He asked whether my keyboard was the one shown in the link he posted me. and It is.. you replied saying it is a HP keyboard which it isn't [19:44] daRPiniOn, Ubuntu doesn't install to FAT32, it installs to ext2/3/4 or XFS or JFS [19:44] uno momento. (computer is in the other room) [19:44] <_johnny> what does ssh 127.0.0.1 produce (on the remote box) [19:45] daRPiniOn, you need to reformat the partition using the installer as one of the Linux filesystems [19:45] NthDegree I don't have an option in Easeus Partition Manager or Windows 7 to format in ext2/3 or 4 [19:45] how could i change this /usr/local/bin/ruby to ruby. to use in the terminal [19:45] daRPiniOn, Ubuntu's Desktop CD installer has a partition manager [19:45] * Alanatiir logs out to do a reinstall. [19:45] NthDegree hopefully this installer will give me the option because the last one did not -- even after running chkdsk /r [19:45] openssh is definitely running. [19:46] ok I am out of here guys... later [19:46] <_johnny> *nobody* knows *anything* about mysql? [19:46] DarkStar1: he asked me whether I have a F13 on my keyboard, and asked me what model is this [19:46] no idea how to check for firewall. [19:46] Alanatiir, not an expert, but I understand what you are disappointed by this, anyway,would then use 9.10 or maybe try a clean install of 10.04 and see if the free driver works then [19:46] coz_: No I don't have the "fn" key. I use the Apple Slim keyboard shown here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MTA4Mzc4ODA [19:46] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: on the remote box, do you get hello msg when you do telnet 127.0.0.1 22 [19:46] _johnny: what do you need to know about mysql? [19:46] DarkStar1, he later gave me the link to what he was asking [19:46] DarkSector: Aaahh... Then we must've crossed wires :) [19:46] NthDegree the installer has finished I'm going to reboot after writing the image to a CD hopefully I have no isses [19:46] DarkStar1, he should learn to use autocomplete effectively [19:46] * DarkSector gets back to work [19:46] NthDegree if I have difficulties I'll write down any error message to let you know [19:47] Sound good? [19:47] DarkSector: similar names, it's bound to happen in this sea of text. [19:47] yeah [19:47] daRPiniOn, yeah [19:47] DarkSector: Well in fairness both our Nicks begin with the same word :P [19:47] DarkStar1, yeah :D [19:47] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: i'm trying to install a mysqlserver on my ubuntu box, both manually and apt-get install mysql-server, and root pw set via dpkg-configure. the server runs, can be restarted/etc... but the root pw is wrong, and i'm sure it's not a typo. Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [19:47] _johnny: there's the #mysql channel ofcourse [19:48] DarkSector: Oh crep!! you scared him off :'( [19:48] <_johnny> oCean_: no there is not. not a helpful one anyway. asked my question there already. nobody notices [19:48] DarkStar1: lolwut ?!!/ really ? [19:48] _johnny: i get "escape character is" so i'm sure that it's connected [19:48] DarkSector: Yup he logged [19:48] DarkStar1, I didn't mean it that way [19:48] hi i am trying to get qavimator working can anyone help please [19:48] DarkStar1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard [19:48] DarkStar1: logged what ? [19:48] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: it is. then it must be that a firewall is blocking it or the remote_ip is not reachable [19:48] _johnny: check the user table for usable entries [19:48] <_johnny> oCean_: how so? [19:49] _johnny: "remote" ip is within my lan, it's reachable. i can ping it. how do i figure out which firewall is now magically blocking my ssh? [19:49] _johnny: if you didn't configure your mysql server during installation, try blank [19:49] <_johnny> Aggrav8d: then it sholdn't be, unless you have some allow/deny rules limited to 127.0.0.1, but that sounds a bit unlikely [19:50] _johnny: i didn't set any [19:50] <_johnny> DarkSector: i did config it, and neither that pw, nor blank works [19:50] hello [19:50] _johnny: not even root [19:50] how could i change command, like /usr/local/bin/acommand to acommand [19:50] _johnny: start mysql in safe mode, and (re)set password [19:50] <_johnny> i've set it to "1" also, just to make sure i wasn't typing it wrong [19:50] Is there a way to reset alsamixer settings to default? [19:50] Can I build a package on a PPA that depends on some packages which are only found on that same PPA? [19:50] _johnny: not even sudo password ? [19:50] Hey someone here how speak german? [19:50] I used passwd to update my password but even though it said successful it still wants the old password... Do I need to reboot or logout of all sessions or something? Seems unlinux like [19:50] nevermind. :) [19:51] reboot [19:51] _johnny: there are many examples of (re)setting password. Like this: http://www.kavoir.com/2009/06/reset-mysql-root-password-after-you-forgot-or-lost-it.html [19:51] <_johnny> DarkSector: one sec, let me check [19:51] !de > jared544 [19:51] jared544, please see my private message [19:51] !de > jared544 [19:51] xangua, lol [19:51] <_johnny> oCean_: i have no problem setting the pw with dpkg, it's the fact that the set pw doesn't work, no matter what i set it to [19:51] _johnny: in that case follow the instructions. [19:52] _johnny: start in safe mode, set your pw, check entries in user table, and start using mysql! [19:52] thanks :) [19:53] ARGH! is anyone here much of an expert with soundcards in Ubuntu? [19:53] !sound | willwork4foo [19:53] willwork4foo: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

I've tested the mic on another machine and it worked, so it's not a hardware issue. [19:54] abhi_nav: thanks, but it's an internal mic I'm having a nightmare with [19:54] and I've been there already, no help [19:54] willwork4foo, ok there are other ubuntugeek sites also ;) [19:54] <_johnny> oCean_: it closes right away. error log says 100628 20:55:18 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it. [19:54] abhi_nav: thanks, still googling.

[20:02] daRPiniOn, it does, it comes up with a list of modules [20:02] It's a common HDD Western Digital - perhaps because it's SATA 3.0 that is causing the issue?

I know it's missing something, but I don't know the best sente [20:05] thune3_: any ideas? :) [20:06] daRPiniOn, the HDD itself won't be an issue, it's the SATA controller which may or may not be supported [20:06] Having issue w/Win7 partition - using Clonezilla to re-image partition of win7 will this effect my Grub2 loader access for Ubuntu?

I'm tempted to do something potentially stupid...but want to have a second opinion..... [20:15] abhi_nav: no, it is a _terrible_ start for new comers. it has _no_ organization, it is _not_ edited for spelling and content. [20:15] abhi_nav, I just accessed tdlp.org ...it logged off...it annoys me... [20:15] rtfm please [20:15] vijay1, who logged off? [20:15] project2501b: That is not welcome in this channel.

[20:15] expected declaration specifiers before __THROW [20:15] anyone feel like helping me set up ftp, so users can read write to /var/www for a lamp server [20:15] project2501b: Because *THIS* is a support channel.

[20:16] vijay1, i dont think its because of some web site? [20:16] dont troll the support channel saying rtfm [20:16] its not helpful [20:16] its just when a user logs in and writes, the permissions for the files are always set to that user, so then apache cant read the new changes [20:16] he'll actually go eat at the restaurant instead ;P [20:16] project2501b: Thats what some people want. We try to teach them as well, but that is always a solution. [20:16] abhi_nav,likewise when i open thunderbird , its logging out.. [20:16] strang3r: ok, i'm not trolling, but i am interested to know how saying "go read a book" is trolling. [20:16] (KILL) [20:17] somebody know if can install android on repository in lucid [20:17] vijay1, you are in ubuntu? which version? [20:17] Pici: people don't always know what they want. that's why they get slapped upside the head by the local sysadmin. fine unix tradition. [20:17] abhi_nav, ubuntu 10.04 [20:17] if rtfm worked they wouldnt be here [20:17] Ok I'll basically explain it since no1 seems to profess to know much about photorec - which is a HD recovery tool for getting files out of mangled disks. [20:17] abhi_nav, will there be any issue with xterm? [20:18] someone have made work a plugin to see spreadsheet in IE6 inside Ubuntu? (IE6 installed with PlayOnLinux) [20:18] Basically I'm presently recovering files from my terrabite backup drive which died due to an unfortunate incident where an ancient ubuntu live CD mounted it during repartitioning corrupting the fs...... [20:18] thanx in advance! [20:18] vijay1, may be. you first find what is actual issue so you wll get then right answer. [20:18] strang3r: 90% of the time people do _not_ read the book. they just coming here looking for a quickfix [20:18] I'm trying to recover lots of important files....gigs of them....photos and docs. [20:18] people still use ie6? [20:19] I've been using photorec for over a day now and it is finding files! {hurrah!} [20:19] DiegoDeEscocia, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [20:19] while that may be true, assuming they have not and responding with rtfm is not constructive or helpful in the slightest [20:19] if your ansewr is rtfm then let someone else answer it [20:19] but it's predicting this will last another three or four days and it's using so much by way o system resources that the machine isn't usable for other tasks. [20:19] hmm [20:19] abhi - thanks :-) found it already. Photorec is part of the testdisk suite :) [20:20] I see :) [20:20] strang3r: 99% people's questions are answered by pointing them to the appropriate section in a book or manpage. how is that not constructive? again, i'm not trolling, but i fail to see your logic. [20:20] What I want to do is be able to pause the task and resume later in an hour or so after having used my machine. [20:20] 80 percent of all statistics are made up [20:20] abhi, how can i find the issue..pls help.will there be any logs.. [20:20] see i can do that too [20:20] Now there is a stop option....and due to a problem I had with y second drive being accidently disconected I have seen that photorec does prompt to resume.... [20:20] project2501b: Just because you don't like the way that we run things here doesn't mean that we're going to change or that you are going to get away with telling people to rtfm. Here are our channel guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines, if you find exception with that, you can join the ops channel listed at the bottom of that page.

[20:21] Pici: that's fine. but can please Ubuntu stop being happy-go-lucky? [20:21] thune3_: funny thing about that, when I'm talking into my mic, no, but when I knock on this thing http://i.imgur.com/yZuzd.jpg it goes up and down. [20:21] i am not swayed by your anecdotal evidence [20:21] or am I risking throwing away over a days work? [20:21] abhi,thank you for your help man.. [20:22] but why we all are talking with him? [20:22] leave it [20:22] vijay1, welcome [20:23] well as one of the people that come in here for help project250lb, i can say this, before i came in here today i have spent two days pouring over everything i could find for the problem i am having, i have done everything those things have said, so hearing rtfm doesn't help [20:24] Is there an easy way to find out if my Lucid laptop is running 64bit or 32bit?

It might refer to concepts they don't understand and take htem days of learning in order to resolve. And be an issue that one of us could help them with in all of four seconds flat. [20:26] uname -m [20:26] juken: tnx, but how can you tell? [20:26] Not to mention the fact that there are those that have problems with the reading entailed in pages of manuals. [20:26] less: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911460 [20:27] Anyone any suggestions for me on resume on Photorec? [20:27] DiegoDeEscocia: "resume on Photorec"?

[20:29] but photorec is taking up most of the system resources right now....and I've other things I really ought to do on the computer [20:29] Would it make sense to remove pulseaudio and install something else to get my microphone working? [20:29] juken: i would install gnome-alsamixer, open it and click on the tab for your microphone. See if there are any additional controls not exposed in pulse preferences. [20:29] Ok, I think I have the open-source driver back in full control again....at least driconf is letting me configure again. [20:29] juken: no, that would likely not make sense [20:29] I know I've *seen* a resume option due to an error.....is it safe to hit stop and re issue the initial command to try and resume where it left off. [20:29] I just have one question, though...how do I tell what version of Mesa I'm using? [20:29] or will I lose a days progress and potentially end up duplicating every file found.... [20:30] I tried to install the vlc beta a while back, and I screwed up somehow. Anyway, I tried to remove everything related to VLC and do a full reinstall, however vlc now says: main libvlc error: No modules were found, refusing to start.

Using most of system resources. Have seen sessions resumed before. Is it safe to choose stop now and resume this recovery in a few hours so I can use the computer? {i.e. recover files in several sessions}.

I'm sorry i'm not being helpful, i would probably play with the controls on the headset while monitoring the soundprefs vu meter. [20:39] the advantage of having a separate /home partition is the ability for several linux distros to use the same /home, right?

It isn't recognizing my HD drivers. It is asking me to put them on using removable media. Does anyone know where I can find these drivers in Windows 7? Thanks in advance for your help!

My laptop needed a new HDD because the old one had head crash. So I installed XP with my DELL recovery CD and spent 3 hours patching it. Then I installed 10.04 into an empty space on the HDD (at the end) and now when I try to boot XP I get a BSOD stop 0x0000007b I just want them to peacefully coexist! [21:03] sw: at least u dont get blue screen of death bro :) [21:03] I'm upgrading from 9.04 - 10.04 today. I run Win XP inside of Virtual Box. Once I get 10.4 installed it is as simple as installing Virtual Box & pointing to my WinXP virtual machine? [21:04] i've been off windows since 8.04 [21:04] troythetechguy: yes [21:04] RobC: Might try ##windows [21:04] RobC: you might get better answers to that if you try ##windows.. it's not really our speciality [21:04] whats something evil i can do to an open linksys router [21:04] Ahuh... [21:04] RobC: it worked before you installed ubuntu? [21:04] Slart: Yes, it did. === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [21:05] i'm going to try an older disc and see if it boots... thanks anyways [21:05] JoeTheGuest: wrong channel myh good lad [21:05] Thanks. Would like to say goodbye to Windows, but have a few speciality apps :( [21:05] I'm leaning toward GRUB2 and the XP partition being "dirty" [21:05] RobC: it might be a grub thing.. [21:05] troythetechguy: cool [21:05] RobC: you get the grub menu, right? [21:05] im aware of that but im wondering what is something fun to do to an open linksys router [21:05] cuz theres tones of smart people in here [21:05] RobC: There's nothing that grub (legacy or 2) can do to cause windows to BSOD. [21:05] Slart: yes [21:06] JoeTheGuest: there's even more smart people in #ubuntu-offtopic and they are less likely to kick you out for being offtopic =) [21:06] JoeTheGuest: i'm afraid we cant answer that question here [21:07] RobC: and it's a normal windows install? nothing weird like encryption or such? [21:07] is there a way to get a wallpaper that displays logcat output? [21:07] Indeed. Plain Jane, only Windows patches. [21:07] darkkrai: perhaps conky mighe be useful [21:08] RobC: try booting into ubuntu and running "sudo update-grub" in a terminal.. see if it does anything [21:08] What's weird is when I boot with a Bart PE disc or the gPartEd disc, it thinks the drive is empty...no partition table. [21:08] OK...trying it now. [21:08] RobC: How big is the drive? [21:08] RobC: while you're in ubuntu, see if you can see any files on the windows xp disk [21:08] 112g [21:09] The only things that can see the partitions on the drive are Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD or the installed copy of Ubuntu. === egyparadox_ is now known as release === EgyParadox is now known as Guest91597 === release is now known as EgyParadox [21:11] RobC: do you see the files on the windows partition from ubuntu?

I am a total noob in Ubuntu so i would need someone to spare some time and help out or direct me where to read :) [21:12] Wopak: just ask bro [21:12] gimpy: not that I am aware of [21:13] As I doubt it's fare pestering the Testdisk team over this by email I guess I'll just stick it out :-) Checked with my main computer....Saying it'll be a further 3 days.

I've installed linux several times but can't seem to get ubunut installed. I keep getting bootmgr error on bootup.... I have a usb hd encloser, used unetbootin, and nothing... any ideas? ...

My Ubuntu is working great. XP, still dead. [21:18] so anybody got an answer to my ubuntu install question? [21:19] what problem is it? i missed it the first time [21:19] I'm going to follow your original advice and go to #windows [21:19] guntbert> Ok you've convinced me! I'll fire it off an email too them. Though if they're anything like me with emails I'm not likely to get an answer for five days or so! [21:19] trying to install it [21:20] DiegoDeEscocia: Good luck :-) [21:20] Instagator:have you tried installing from usb? [21:20] I use unetboot to make the usb hd bootable ... keep getting bootmgr error on boot [21:20] guntbert> Found the address btw.

[21:22] I have a 4 TB drive and I put it as a single ext3 partition. It is odd because I am copying data to it, and it has a total of 3.6T reported, of which 163G is being used and there is only 3.3T left. That does not make sense to me. I used parted to do this, but my question is why does it seem that I am using twice as much space as I actually have data? [21:22] hrm [21:22] RobC, should just be as simple as booting xp cd, recovery mode and fixmbr or fixboot. then you`ll have to boot ubuntu livecd and install grub again [21:22] could not initialise installation. file size expected=22989975, size returned=22925206. access denied [21:22] Is it worth investing in an SSD for speed (as the system drive)?

I can press 'S' to skip the message and carry on booting, but the thing is, I removed sdc3 and expanded sdc2 to fill the space. [21:22] yes noctilux [21:23] could my file be corrupt? [21:23] hrm.. the usb hdd is ntfs with 200gig of free space... could that be the issue?

[21:55] darko3d: you can also run Windows in a virtual machine, as long as you got enough RAM and such [21:55] Alan502: use iptables ? [21:55] sebsebseb: do you want a full explanation again? [21:55] darko3d: fine for nearly everything, not 3D games though [21:55] erUSUL, what should i do with iptables? [21:55] The channel looks more like Tetris level 50. [21:55] darko3d: and of course you could also dual boot with Windows [21:55] Alan502: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html [21:56] hi, i get ubi-partman crashed: ubi-partman failed with exit-code 10. the only thing i can find with google is the nodmraid, but after checking it it looks like it still is active.... [21:56] erUSUL, thanks [21:56] Andy-at-home: you can probably create dns entries whereever you registered the domainnames. All you have to do is setup apache vhosts [21:56] Alan502: from that how to « iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 » that's supposing the proxy is in the same machine in port 3128 [21:56] darko3d: also yes it takes time, but I would prefer to hand code a site :) however for more complex sites that would take ages, so not for those [21:56] sebsebseb: yeah but what the point, i moved to ubuntu to move away from windows [21:57] darko3d: right, but if you virtual machine WIndows inside, Ubuntu you actsaully get a kind of security advantage over a pshyical install [21:57] darko3d: have you looked at aptana (aclipse based) ? [21:57] Patwotrik: ok sure [21:57] yeah im new to vhosts as well, i think i read virtualmin can set them up? === [daemon]_ is now known as [daemon] [21:57] How do I manually initiate a DHCPDISCOVER on eth0? [21:57] crc32: sudo dhclient eth0 ? [21:57] crc32: sudo dhclient eth0 [21:58] erUSUL, i gues i should only change the 3128 to whatever port i want [21:58] sebsebseb: When i try to install ubuntu (fresh install, no upgrade) it asks for "Please insert 'ubuntu 10.04 lts _lucid lynx_ - release amd64 (20100427.1)'" during the install base system phase [21:58] crc32: if eth0; ifdown eth0 would also work.. if the interface is set to use dhcp [21:58] sebsebseb: I'm using alternate install cd, but i dont think that's the issue [21:58] crc32: sorry.. ifdown eth0;ifup eth0 [21:58] Alan502: correct; if the proxy software is running in the same machine as the destination [21:58] sebsebseb: I cant connect to internet during install (don't we all love wireless network cards in linux?) [21:59] Patwotrik: I cant get wifi connected in windows :) [21:59] sebsebseb: so obviously it want's another cd [21:59] well, it is running on a VM, but i guess what matters is the computer's ip adress [21:59] darko3d: since you can just easilly delete a vm that gets virus infected for example, and use a clean copy or snapshot. Yes distros such as Ubuntu and Mandriva, but not so much now. Try to replace Windows on the desktop. However really the point of Desktop Linux was never to do that, it was to offer software freedom. [21:59] !freedom | darko3d [21:59] darko3d: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [21:59] Andy-at-home: dunno, never used virtualmin. Basic setup isn't all that hard, just start with the default one, copy to another and modify files to suit your needs. For further details apache help is #httpd more suitable channel [21:59] Bodsda: I never said that windows was good :D [21:59] erUSUL, so technically the VM is using the same ip adress as the host [21:59] darko3d: and since lack of commercial software and hardware manufacture support, when it comes to certain stuff, people are still going to need Windows sometimes. [22:00] well that sucks [22:00] thanks ill try in there once i get stuck [22:00] Alan502: !!?? i was answering this question « 22:55 < Alan502> Is there i way i can redirect all my web traffic to a proxy server? » if your set up has other complexities (multiple machines or vm's etc) you have to describe it in your questions [22:00] darko3d: however there is ReactOS in development, which will be basicaly an open source version of Windows that has been done better when its ready. Development is very slow, and its rather alpha at the moment. http://www.reactos.org [22:00] <_CommandeR_> before you could launch recoverymode in grub to get text mode, but after grub2 this is not possible without user interaction so how do i solve it now?

I'm having trouble install Ubuntu 10.04 Server on a software raid 1. I have two raid partitions, on for / and one for swap. The installs goes great but when I reboot it drops me into a busybox shell. I can boot into rescue mode, mount, and chroot into the raid. I've tried updating the kernel after a chroot but still no luck. Any ideas? [22:05] ubuntujenkins: trust phoronix [22:05] mr_chris: linux software raid ? [22:05] ubuntujenkins: http://www.google.com/search?q=valve+steam+linux [22:06] erUSUL: Yes. [22:06] darko3d: dual boot or virtual machine Windows, or use alternative apps in Ubuntu, or in Wine, or program your own, and problem solved :) [22:06] ubuntujenkins: i agree with you if you say that microsoft paid to kill linux in netbooks 2 years ago [22:06] i guess i'll keep xp running in virtual box for now, but for the record, running a mircosoft os in ubuntu or in dual mode kind of defeats the whole idea of using free software [22:06] mr_chris: maybe you need to install grub in both disks... iirc is required in raid 1 set ups [22:07] you couldn't find a linux celeron or atom N270 netbook anymore: only XP [22:07] gionnico: yea i know just rather a sceptical person thats all. [22:07] and NG netbooks all have win7 started. [22:07] erUSUL: I tried that. grub-install /dev/sda and grub-install /dev/sdb. No errors. [22:07] erUSUL: What is iirc? [22:07] mr_chris: also using raid for swap is redundant... the kernel already does stripping ( raid 0) between swaps in different disks if both have the same prio ( man swapon ) [22:07] and I know that lots of valve developers *were* in microsoft before [22:07] mr_chris: iirc -- if i recall correctly [22:08] !raid | mr_chris [22:08] mr_chris: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [22:08] erUSUL: Thanks.

I will use this computer as a server and a workstation. Thought of having a command in grub2 to launch in eather way if you understand :) [22:30] _CommandeR_, you could do some sort of hack where you do init=/bin/bash in grub, and then manually update the runlevel.

[22:42] danlock2: great find [22:42] http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php [22:42] ty [22:42] that'll help you check fan speed, voltages, temps, etc [22:42] and you can adjust settings [22:42] ChrazRitt: i know, but the problem is around 80% of the time people don't [22:42] * duffydack dials whitor for a deathmatch doom with nightmare monsters respawn on the last level [22:43] duffydack: Hello Mr Offtopic! [22:43] duffydack: please - this isn't ubuntu-offtopic [22:43] lol wrong chan [22:44] <_CommandeR_> danlock2, hm testing. [22:45] <_CommandeR_> danlock2, it does not work for some reason i still have the login promt [22:46] Hello [22:46] _CommandeR_, then log in? [22:46] !ask [22:46] 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. :-) [22:46] <_CommandeR_> hm but i want the least ammount of user interaction [22:46] <_CommandeR_> like only press in grub thing :P [22:46] ëîøàðû :) [22:47] alan`, just where in ubuntu will i put that windows app? [22:47] is there a way to bridge my wireless connection with my LAN connection? [22:48] _CommandeR_, Sorry, from my experience there is no real way to get around that. [22:48] shro0ms, I'm trying to do that also, I have been following this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding [22:48] good-luck man. [22:48] Ok, fair enough. My question is this: Mesa's homepage (www.mesa3d.org) says there's a version 7.8.2 of the open source driver I'm using with my ATI-based laptop. When I use "dpkg -l | grep mesa" in Terminal, I'm told I'm running version 7.7.1. How do I upgrade to 7.8.2? Or do I even want to in 10.04 LTS? [22:48] _CommandeR_, grub really is just intended to tell your computer what kernel / device to boot, not create a whole new world for you. [22:48] how can i add a different folder to apache? like i want /usr/share/zoneminder to be accessed from http://localhost/zm [22:48] Onca stupid [22:48] Dmitry: stop that now [22:48] no surprise. [22:48] Dmitry: do not call people names, [22:49] aeon-ltd: i don't get the connect to my question [22:49] Alanatiir, You could download and build the driver yourself. [22:49] <_CommandeR_> hm [22:49] Can someone explain to me why it would be a good idea to deploy an Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud server in my environment? [22:49] Onca, thanks. [22:49] danlock2: How? [22:49] d33d: why would you need one [22:50] ikonia zatknisj, gavno)))) [22:50] d33d: what are you looking to do [22:50] dmitry, engage the doomsday device. [22:50] ikonia, I'm not sure. I'm wanting to know what I could use it for? [22:50] d33d: if you don't need one, don't look for a reason for one [22:50] Alanatiir, Do you have experience with compiling your own software packages? [22:50] laughs menacingly [22:50] ikonia, but i could very well have a reason, just don't see it yet, because I don't understand it YET. [22:50] danlock2: Ubuntu newbie here...so no. [22:51] d33d, Enterprise Cloud server is for large businesses [22:51] d33d: it's distributed computing, [22:51] d33d: it's not really for home users [22:51] So like clustering? [22:51] no [22:51] Alanatiir, I wouldn't worry about upgrading your drivers then. You could download linux drivers from the ATI website if you wanted, however. [22:51] distributed computing [22:51] Distributed computing... [22:52] "collaberative" computing [22:52] Alanatiir: you have ati hardware? [22:52] woodworks: that's a good description too [22:52] danlock2: Not for this laptop, I cannot. [22:52] d33d, hadoop style mapreduce? or more like MPI [22:52] Alanatiir: if your graphics card driver works well enough for you the one you got with Ubuntu, then use that :) [22:52] Alanatiir, Ah, sorry. I wouldn't upgrade drivers unless you really need to. [22:52] danlock2: ChrazRitt: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2008/Triton/1015086R/1015086Rsp4.shtml [22:53] Alanatiir: if you start trying to upgrade open source drivers or installing propritary drivers, you are likely to bump into issues [22:53] sebsebseb: I already have issues with Regnum Online, when I can force the game to load, the graphics are -worse- than the ATI-based laptop I used to use, which is a good 5 years old. [22:53] Alanatiir: I don't know that game [22:54] Alanatiir: Still got the old lap top? [22:54] Alanatiir: are you working with a full hdd install of ubuntu for the amd cpu? [22:54] Hey! are there any applications to sync my phone with my computer? (doesn't necessarily have to sync with evolution, although that would be nice). It's a Nokia X3-00 (one of the Series 40) [22:54] sebsebseb: It's a Linux-friendly MMORPG, and yse I do, but the whole reason I shifted laptops is the cable from the mobo to the laptop screen is faulty...starting to short out. [22:54] ChrazRitt: Yes, full install. [22:54] pting, so its like for larger calculations? I'm just confused I guess about why its "cloud" it would be if i wanted to create my own "private" cloud right? [22:54] Alanatiir: oh right may be worth trying Ubuntu on the old lap top as well [22:54] Alanatiir: or you already did? [22:55] Alanatiir: is your lappy hardware 64 bit? === NGurty is now known as Gurty [22:55] sebsebseb: The old laptop uses Hardy Heron, BUT the laptop's monitor keeps shorting out, waiting for parts so I can repair it. [22:55] Alanatiir: right well, Ubuntu tends to work best with standard hardware [22:55] ChrazRitt: The current one, who's link I posted, is 64-bit, and is using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu LTS. [22:55] Alanatiir: and I guess most five years old hardware, is pretty standard by now [22:56] sebsebseb: Doesn't get much more standard, it's factory config except for a larger hard drive. And that goes for both machines. :P [22:56] Alanatiir: did you get the updates for ubuntu? [22:56] NinoScript: yes i use gammu and wammu with my nokia phone, it ca, also send sms from the computeur [22:56] hey... anybody here have an ati radeon hd 2400 mobility? [22:56] Alanatiir: also ATI well there have been a lot of issues with ATI cards in Ubuntu [22:56] all 194 or so of them? [22:56] ChrazRitt: Yes, Ubuntu is fully updated, according to the update manager. [22:57] sebsebseb: I know ATI and Ubuntu have a less than happy co-existance, but it's what both mobos have built into them. Short of buying a new laptop, I can't do jack about that. [22:57] jileen, Thanks :D Installing! [22:57] 'ok, did you get the restricted drivers Alanatiir ? [22:57] ChrazRitt: There -are- no restricted drivers for this laptop, as far as Ubuntu is aware. [22:57] !details | Suchorski [22:57] Suchorski: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:58] d33d, i would deploy my own cloud if i needed the ability to bring up and down instances at will depending on demand... like if i needed to scale up more load balanced webservers in the afternoon, then take half of them offline once demand goes down [22:58] NinoScript: but with nautilus --desktop ( i use openbox wm) my phone is mounted like a external drive too [22:58] jileen, Does it sync with evolution too? [22:59] dont know i use thundirbid, i prefer multi plateform sofware for email (linux/windows) [22:59] Alanatiir: i have about the same chipset on my lappy, and i did find restricted drivers for mine, try the top bar over to the right, see if there are any odd looking icons there [22:59] NinoScript: but with a script i think it is possible [22:59] Alanatiir: ChrazRitt system > administration > hardware drivers [23:00] ChrazRitt: No icons that I cannot ID [23:00] sebsebseb: Was already there, nothing displays after it's done searching. Empty window. [23:00] Alanatiir: try what sebsebseb suggests [23:00] ChrazRitt: Did, three times, no dice. [23:00] NinoScript: wammu is a graphic mode of gammu it look like pc suite for nokia [23:00] Milky Bars Are On Me! [23:01] jileen, I don't use anything right now, was thinking on going with defaults, but if you say it works with thunderbird, and I can't get it to work with NO efforts with evolution, then thunderbird it'll be [23:01] ChrazRitt: Doing it a fourth time, just to be thourough. [23:01] Alanatiir: I know there is a newer propritary ATI driver, but don't know if that is for your card, and never used myself, since don't have ATI :) [23:01] brb, going to reboot to ubuntu [23:01] !ati | Alanatiir [23:01] Alanatiir: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:01] ChrazRitt: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." and the two windows beneath are empty. [23:01] Alanatiir: you only really need propritary driver for 3D support [23:02] Alanatiir: 3D OpenGL games, Compiz, that kind of thing [23:02] sebsebseb: And Regnum Online is a 3d MMO. [23:02] Alanatiir: plus if you install one your 10.04 boot up might look all strange [23:02] Alanatiir: and the shut down [23:04] NinoScript: no i use script for thunderbird [23:04] sebsebseb: Which would mean more if there was a prop driver for this card, but it's not supported by ATI any longer and there's no legacy driver I can install, as far as my searching ATI's website for hours has seen. So I'm forced to eke out as much performance out of the open-source driver that comes with 10.04 LTS. What can I do on that front, to improve performance and quality? [23:05] sebsebseb: Which is why I initially asked about how to upgrade the existing driver to the most recent listed on the website. [23:05] Alanatiir: right so this new ATI driver is totally useless? http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-ATI-Linux-Video-Driver-Has-OpenGL-4-0-and-RHEL-5-5-Support-144827.shtml [23:05] if i want to have another ubuntu distrib in my ubuntu, the best it is to use vbox or openvz ? [23:05] jileen: you mean Ubuntu version, and yes there are other distros as well :) [23:06] jileen: dual booting two versions of Ubuntu would be a bit silly, dual booting with another distro maybe. However virtual machines :) [23:06] jileen: Virtualbox :) [23:06] back [23:06] no, i would say i wnat a virtual ubuntu runnig into my ubuntu to have a fres installed one i can modify for testing with no impact on my main ubuntu system [23:07] thx, so i will use virtual box [23:07] jileen: well do a virtual machine I guess, I remember there was somebody in the past here on IRC, who said that he had Ubuntu on his hard disk yeah, but he would also do a virtual machine of Ubuntu, for only Internet banking. [23:07] sebsebseb: Can that driver successfully recognize and utilize my current video controller? (ATI Radeon® X1270) [23:08] jileen: also you can test the next version of Ubuntu safely if you do it in a virtual machine, then if it messes up on you ah well, didn't effect your actsual system [23:08] Alanatiir: no idea [23:08] sebsebseb: It seems to be for the HD 5xxx line, not the x12xx line. [23:08] Alanatiir: maybe, maybe not, and obviosuly you need to make sure your installing the correct driver, or expect issues [23:08] when i go to administration > shared folders and create a new share, "samba" doesn't appear as an option in the "share through" drop-down. Does anyone know why that might be? [23:09] Alanatiir: yeah its a new driver, and I have been told here on IRC before how ATI drop support for old cards [23:09] jileen: I use virtual box for several test systems and also to boot live cd's while still in my main system [23:09] Alanatiir, the driver works for my machine [23:09] Alanatiir: Ubuntu 8.04 may actsaully be better with your card, and its still supported on the desktop untill end of April next year [23:09] ChrazRitt: the driver that got mentioned on that page I linked to? [23:10] sebsebseb: I'd rather not revert to 8.04, though. I'd have to turn around and re-upgrade by April, in any event, yes? [23:10] sebsebseb: Is there a way to use the prop driver for 8.04 in 10.04? [23:11] Alanatiir: wel yeah or run without any security updates, which your not meant to do, but could do for quite a while without a security issue, I expect [23:11] Alanatiir: now I don't know if 8.04 will work better, but I have a feeling it might, since older xorg and such [23:11] sebi_`, no the driver in system>administration>hardware drivers, i didn't know the drivers being talked about changed while i rebooted [23:11] i m doing a batch mkv subtitle extract using the command "for movie in *.mkv; do mkvextract tracks "$movie" 4:"${name%.*}.srt"; done" .... but nothing is saved. Whats wrong with this command? [23:12] sebse, no the driver in system>administration>hardware drivers, i didn't know the drivers being talked about changed while i rebooted === audumla is now known as audumla|afk [23:13] I have an Ubuntu 9.10 x64 box which the network died on. eth0 is up, has an IP, route table is fine, nothing obvious is dmesg, forcedeth module is loaded, no changes at ALL to the system recently. What went wrong? I have also swapped out cables, ifdown, ifup, reboots, etc. Still does not work. [23:13] shubbar: what is the 4: for ? [23:13] erUSUL, it's the track number in mkv file [23:13] gimpy6398: the ethernet died? [23:14] gimpy6398, you try another port on the switch? you have a link light? [23:14] gimpy6398, reboot routers/switches ? [23:14] gimpy6398: try the 9.10 Live CD? your hardware may have failed [23:14] shubbar: maybe you need to quote the whole thing ? or escape the : [23:14] gimpy6398: router problem? [23:14] gimpy6398, any link lights ? [23:14] Alanatiir, to tell the truth with the restricted drivers installed i don't see any difference, and that may be due to not being able to do much with my heating issues [23:15] shubbar: « for movie in *.mkv; do mkvextract tracks "$movie" 4\:"${name%.*}".srt; done » [23:15] Where can I post a fix to some graphics corruption issues people are having? [23:15] It's temporary, but it works. [23:15] PoisonSerpent: where do you get that? [23:15] well, [23:15] What happens, [23:15] PoisonSerpent: maybe in the respective bug report ? [23:15] ChrazRitt: Perhaps. Though do you use Compiz or play in MMOs like I do? [23:15] ChrazRitt: If the fglrx for 10.04 supported my laptop, I'd use it in a heartbeat. [23:15] alana, i play mmos [23:16] i keep forgetting to tab nicks [23:16] ChrazRitt: And you notice no difference between the two on your system? Strange. [23:16] erUSUL, still not saving [23:16] with an ATI Radeon X1270, or other cards (I don't know), graphics corruption occurs right after the drive formats during installation, and doesn't fix until a restart. It also happens when your in the normal desktop. I just added nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, and then updated grub.cfg, and it worked. [23:17] PoisonSerpent: graphics corruptin on the Live CD? [23:17] yes, [23:17] shubbar: you used movie and then name [23:17] shubbar: as variables holding the movie name [23:18] then also on the actual installation. [23:18] erUSUL, thanks, thats my error [23:18] PoisonSerpent: thats not meant to happen, could be a bad CD, either the ISO you used, or the CD itself, the burn, or pshyical CD [23:18] shubbar: « for movie in *.mkv; do mkvextract tracks "$movie" 4\:"${movie%.*}".srt; done » [23:18] PoisonSerpent: if you stil have the ISO you could check that [23:18] Alanatiir, my problem seems to be thermal, i don't think ubuntu has control of the fan speed here [23:18] I double checked the MD5Sum, [23:18] and also checked my USB stick [23:18] it also happens on all of my other USB drives, [23:18] and on CDs and DVDs. [23:19] PoisonSerpent: anyway right Live CD, well whatever I guess, since it installed, and yeah you re boot, and well Live CD doesn't boot up anymore, so its ok? [23:19] PoisonSerpent, i found that to get things to work right i needed to do a full hdd install [23:19] ChrazRitt: That is what I did. Wiped my hard drive and installed it. [23:19] PoisonSerpent: as for changing Grub I am not sure why you have done that, What was boot up and shut down like? [23:19] ChrazRitt: And my problem is software. [23:19] sebsebseb: Boot up and shut down were fine, but for some reason, after I changed Grub, it worked. [23:20] PoisonSerpent: after changing Grub what worked exactly? [23:20] There was no more graphics corruption. [23:20] For instance, [23:20] This is what it looked like: [23:20] How to remove UrbanTerror configuration, I usually remove them by deleting the .appname folder in home directory ? [23:21] alket: thats only the program user data [23:21] alket: not the program config files [23:21] alket: sudo apt-get purge porgram to get rid of program config as well [23:21] How do I get 'server' on the netbook remix? I tried sudo apt-get install server and ubuntu-server. Neither worked. [23:21] alket: and yeah the .folders in home stay, unless you remove them yourself [23:21] does anyone know what wiki software ubuntu documentation uses? [23:21] sebsebseb, ok how can I remove the Urban Terror data, [23:22] Alanatiir, what i meant is that i don't have any graphics problem, but that i might not see one because i have the thermal issue that might be blocking me from fully using my graphics card [23:22] stercor: there is a server kernel.. not sure if there is a meta-package like there is for the desktop version [23:22] alket: install the package again, and purge it? [23:22] ok sebsebseb [23:22] thank you [23:22] alket: or just remove the package, I mean whatever program config that is on there, won't really matter [23:22] Slart: I'll try server-kernel...but that might bollux things up. [23:23] stercor: what kind of server functionality are you looking for? [23:23] at any rate, i really would like to find out if there is a cooling control script or something in ubuntu [23:23] I want a compiler, ... the usual geek stuff. [23:24] n8 === Cain` is now known as Cain [23:24] stercor: try the build-essential package.. the compiler isn't usually associated with the server [23:24] stercor: build-essential [23:24] Slart: thanks. brb [23:25] stercor: like Slart says a compiler in a server is a security risk ... [23:25] stercor: if you want apache you can get that package.. if you want a dns server get the bind package.. and so on.. I don't think there is one "this is the default setup for a server"-package [23:25] erUSUL: oh.. didn't know that.. what is so bad about a compiler? [23:26] What is a good way to find out what application is listening on a port in ubuntu 10.04? I'm trying to initiate a particular instance of a program, but I get an error saying that a particular port is already in use. I need to find out what application is binding to the port. [23:26] Firefishe: netstat [23:26] Slart: Is there a gui-based application? [23:26] Slart: an oportunity for some clever *acker to writte an exploit on site (without the need to transfer it first to the machine) [23:26] It was corrupted "in memory" too, so I could capture it in screenshots. [23:26] http://ubuntuone.com/p/8FY/ [23:26] Also, there was a magical 3-hyphenated-word command to upgrade from karmic to lucid. It didn't mess with my partitions. [23:27] Firefishe: there are about a gazillion different switches and parameters for it.. I don't remember the syntax at the moment.. and no.. no gui, command line [23:27] like do-ubuntu-upgrade? But that doesn't sound quite right. [23:27] erUSUL: ah, I see.. [23:27] hey how can i find out where a package installed something to? [23:27] !upgrade | stercor, it's probably listed somewhere here [23:27] stercor, it's probably listed somewhere here: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [23:27] Doonz: dpkg -L packagename [23:28] thanx [23:28] does anyone know what wiki software ubuntu documentation uses? [23:29] euph0ria: pasteing from a random wiki page --> Powered By the MoinMoin Wiki Engine [23:30] PoisonSerpent: good find. One of "nomodeset","xforcevesa","i915.modeset=1" (depending on hardware) has been know to help people with livecd/installer graphics problems. [23:30] erUSUL: yeah.. that is the wiki.ubuntu.com page uses moinmoin.. I'ld like to know for help.ubuntu.com [23:30] euph0ria: the same ? [23:31] it wasnt just installer though [23:31] it was even after i installed and rebooted, [23:31] no usb/cd/dvd in the drive. [23:31] so i think it's a problem with 10.04, but it worked fine in 9.10 [23:32] hi, does the computer save what you pressed on the keyboard? [23:32] euph0ria: but there is a #ubuntu-web channel iirc [23:32] PoisonSerpent: right, the workaround is needed until/unless proprietary graphics driver installation fixes the problem. [23:32] b0n1: no unless you install a keylogger ... [23:32] PoisonSerpent: why did you give an ubuntuone link? [23:32] erUSUL: thanks, I will check it out [23:32] Because I use it to share all my screenshots I send to people. [23:32] Does anyone know of an example to force fontconfig to use a specific font for a given language? The manpages are rather dry. [23:32] hm maybe there is one installed, how can i check erUSUL ? [23:32] PoisonSerpent: oh right i'll have a look [23:33] thune3_: PoisonSerpent propritary Nivida or ATI drivers can make, the 10.04 Plymouth boot up like rather strange [23:33] look above [23:33] I can't get Wammu to use my phone, it is correctly paired, I can browse files on the phone over bluetooth, but Wammu says "No phone has been found!" [23:33] b0n1: what makes yu think one is installed ? [23:33] i dont know its not my machine [23:33] is there anyway to integrate my sources configuration into systemsettings like this? :http://www.packagekit.org/img/kpk-settings.png [23:33] its a computer of my university [23:34] PoisonSerpent: so thats how your desktop looks sometimes? [23:35] sebsebseb: not after I changed GRUB. [23:35] does anyone know where i can try looking for cooling fan settings? [23:35] PoisonSerpent: ok what probelm do you have now? [23:35] sebsebseb: none, i just wanted to let you guys know about it. [23:35] PoisonSerpent: oh right ok [23:35] thune3_ sebsebseb: all is well now, so it's fine! 10.04 made me write a page long article on my site on how Ubuntu is changing the way people think about their computers, and the way it allows people to use their computers. === Weems2 is now known as Weems [23:36] b0n1: not sure. see the process list. see processes attached to /dev/input/* nodes etc ... [23:36] without having to pay for product keys [23:36] PoisonSerpent: 10.04 can really suck at times as well, bootup and such uh [23:36] or licenses [23:36] b0n1: but if your university is serious it would use a hard keylogger ... [23:36] sebsebseb: lol, yeah, kinda. but I make sure to tweak mine to my liking. [23:36] PoisonSerpent: also there are loads of other distros out there that do exactly the same thing, provide a free as in price product, that uses a load of great free software [23:36] !freedom | PoisonSerpent [23:36] PoisonSerpent: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [23:36] Can anyone tell why my microphone isn't working based on these pictures: http://i.imgur.com/OEl2w.png ; http://i.imgur.com/apegR.png ; http://i.imgur.com/Nvcx1.png ; http://i.imgur.com/tmA5L.png [23:37] sebsebseb: yeah, it's not just Ubuntu, it's opensource/Free software in general. [23:37] and Linux in general too. [23:37] PoisonSerpent: http://www.distrowatch.com [23:37] My Package Installer crashed. What process I should kill to close it? [23:37] PoisonSerpent: free as in freedom not price :) [23:37] i guys i have been editing my users permissions just changing his group, but now my apache folder doesnt work gives , Forbidden you dont have permission to access, i already tried sudo chmod -R a=rx htdocs/ [23:37] but still doesnt work, some1 can help me? [23:37] sebsebseb: yeah. people (including me) forget that. [23:37] oh, [23:38] one question, [23:38] PauloRicardo: package installer? Software Centre? Synaptic? apt-get? [23:38] Ubuntu is not picking up my mic. [23:38] it used to, [23:38] but now it doesn;t. [23:38] ** doesn't. [23:38] PoisonSerpent: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:38] PoisonSerpent: not my area, but thats something else, sometimes hardware works fine in a previous version, but not a later. [23:38] Is there a way to contact developers? [23:38] sebsebseb: The window title is Package Installer... It's the one we use to install .deb's. :) [23:38] Fishscene: not easilly [23:38] wait... nvm. I forgot about launchpad [23:38] Slart: Just as a matter for the channel logs: I was given this instance of netstat for looking for my particular port-in-use, 3000 in my case: netstat -np | grep 3000 .. It worked fine. [23:38] Firefishe: well sure Launchpad I guess [23:38] Fishscene usually through launchpad AFAIK [23:39] what is the command.. lspcmia or something like that and it lists all the hardware? [23:39] Firefishe: ah.. nice [23:39] Firefishe: unless you know their IRC nicks, but they probably won't want to just be pm'd by anyone [23:39] nvm, I "repaired" my computer with the cell phone, and tried a last time, it worked :) [23:39] PoisonSerpent lspci [23:39] nerdy_kid: thanks. [23:39] I added a SATA disk to my desktop machine with Ubuntu 10.04, and when it's plugged in grub2 fails to boot, I'm not too familiar with grub2 anyone feel like helping? [23:39] PosinSerpent: lspci, lsmod [23:40] m4dm4x: lspci was the one i wanted. but thanks [23:40] wng-: yeah old Grub :) Grub 2 :( altough I say since I am not that familur with Grub 2 anyway: [23:40] PoisonSerpent, did you try the sound settings? system>preferences>sound [23:40] !grub2 | wng- [23:40] wng-: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:40] spec spec/ [23:40] /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/active_support/core_ext/module/introspection.rb:73: [BUG] Segmentation fault [23:40] ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [x86_64-linux] [23:40] Before I go to launchpad... has anyone else had the problem where 10.4 won't boot on some machines, and if it does and you install ubuntu and update it, Grub2 doesn't install correctly and causes a boot failure? [23:40] PoisonSerpent: is your mic internal/external/usb? [23:40] sebsebseb: found it: gdebi-gtk, thank you anyway [23:40] wng-: probably the new disk takes precedence in the bios boot sequence [23:40] wng-: What happens when you try to boot exactly? [23:40] can someone explain to me what the above issue is? [23:40] internal [23:41] Jordan_U: drop to busybox shell [23:41] wng-: check the bios settings and make sure the old disk is the one marked to boot from [23:41] wng-: That's past grub then. [23:41] is it an error in active support or ruby [23:41] erUSUL: that's not the problem, I am booting to the correct disk, grub fails to boot the OS properly [23:41] PoisonSerpent: alsa drivers? [23:41] Fishscene: there can be those kind of issues sometimes [23:41] ChrazRitt: the only input/output it picks up is Internal Analog Audio Stereo, [23:41] Jordan_U: yes, but I assume the reason is the UUID changed or something since it's perfectly fine if i unplug the SATA drive, but it can't find a root device if i leave it plugged in [23:41] Fishscene: try a re install if it didn't install correctly? maybe even check ISO of your CD if its one you made, to make sure thats ok [23:42] i guys i have been editing my users permissions just changing his group, but now my apache folder doesnt work gives , Forbidden you dont have permission to access, i already tried sudo chmod -R a=rx htdocs/ [23:42] but still doesnt work, some1 can help me? [23:42] and Skype (the program i'm trying to use with my mic), just says PulseAudio server (local) as my input and output device. [23:42] wng-: UUIDs don't change when hardware changes, that's why they are used. [23:42] PoisonSerpent, did you try the hardware tab? [23:43] PoisonSerpent: ah yes Pulseaudio, which you can't just disable in Ubuntu, alsa and such :) and Skype you need to configure and then your mic will work I guess [23:43] Jordan_U: hrm, okay, so then the only possible thing is grub might see the partition as hd(1,5) now instead of hd(0,5) so I'll change that and check [23:43] Fishscene: What are the actual symptoms of your problem? [23:43] sebsebseb: ok. Yea, I'll see if I can find a post on launchpad. [23:43] Fishscene: or the forums? [23:43] wng-: No, grub2 uses UUIDs also. [23:43] sebsebseb: I remember I installed an audio editor of some sort, [23:43] PoisonSerpent: I had a problem with my netbook with that. Turned out I had a "stereo mic" and had to split the left/right adjustment in the settings... then it worked [23:43] Jordan_U: except it still has hd(0,5) in the grub menu, im looking at the menu entry now [23:43] !forums | Fishscene [23:43] Fishscene: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. === audumla|afk is now known as audumla [23:44] wng-: The search --set --fs-uuid line overrides that. [23:44] and my mic worked fine with it. [23:44] well [23:44] ActionParsnip: Yo yo yo [23:44] sweet. Thanks [23:45] PoisonSerpent, did you look at the 'input' tab? [23:45] m4dm4x sebsebseb : well, my internal speakers work fine [23:45] ChrazRitt: yes. [23:45] it only shows my headphone input jack [23:45] yo yo yo [23:45] can i have both a serial mouse and a usb mouse enabled and active at the same time? [23:45] and the hardware tab PoisonSerpent ? [23:45] Jordan_U: well, changing that line fixed my issue, so apparently it wasn't overriding that or the search function was failing.. [23:45] yo yo yo sebsebseb [23:45] yes [23:45] ChrazRitt: yes. [23:46] PoisonSerpent: you can also look at your mixer settings with alsamixer from a console, if you are using alsa drivers [23:46] vu1kan: sure [23:46] could you point me towards a howto to enable the serial mouse? [23:46] m4dm4x: idk if i am or not.. lol. im a noob when it comes to hardware issues. [23:46] Jordan_U: In one scenario, everything works fine until I update Ubuntu 10.04. It installs the Grub2 package and it launches a GUI window asks me if I want to keep my grub settings. Whether I select yes or no does not matter. My only choice is to continue. It installs and I don't see any errors. If I reboot my machine, it will fail to boot (I forgot the error message). However, If I don't reboot and close everything, then open a terminal and typ [23:46] hey ActionParsnip [23:47] Fishscene: if you install 10.04 lean, is it ok [23:47] wng-: Can you try changing that line back to confirm that is what fixed it? If grub chose the wrong drive then you wouldn't get a kernel loaded at all. [23:47] ChrazRitt: alreet [23:47] PoisonSerpent: lsmod | grep snd [23:47] ActionParsnip: 10.04 lean? [23:47] clean [23:47] ActionParsnip: oh right [23:47] ActionParsnip: The above scenario was a fresh and clean install of 10.04. Sorry for not clarifying that. [23:47] m4dm4x : oooo that came up with a lot of stuff [23:48] lol [23:48] Fishscene: Your message was cut off at "open a terminal and typ" [23:48] mdavidn: @ what? [23:48] Jordan_U: that's the only thing that I changed, it is what fixed it [23:48] i know that some of my stuff in this is realtek [23:48] However, If I don't reboot and close everything, then open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install grub2" Then after that installs, I can reboot safely. [23:48] wng-: Can you try changing that line back to confirm that is what fixed it? [23:48] how does one go about reinstalling apt files? [23:48] and it comes up with realtek, but i think that my mic is usb, but internal, like, they wired it to the motherboard... [23:48] PoisonSerpent: how about if you run alsamixer [23:49] Jordan_U: no, that was the issue, im not mucking around any more than i have to [23:49] delinquentme: you mean reinstalling a program? [23:49] wng-: Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a logical fallacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc [23:49] nevermind...ubottu saved my bacon, yet again [23:49] ActionParsnip, i was unable to get the monitoring software to install, so i'm still unable to check my cpu temp, but i did have something happen in windows that reinforces my thoughts that it's a cooling issue [23:49] Well look at that. My sound stuff is run by ATI. What a shocker. [23:49] sebsebseb, CORRECT :D ... [23:49] delinquentme: sudo apt-get --reinstall package [23:49] delinquentme: sudo apt-get reinstall program [23:49] delinquentme: well what ActionParsnip put I guess [23:50] m4dm4x: it came up with a mixer [23:50] Jordan_U: in arguments yes, but not with technical issues [23:50] delinquentme: or use Synaptic :D [23:50] PoisonSerpent, so is mine, and it's working fine [23:50] Jordan_U: I changed absolutely nothing except for that line, therefore it must be what fixed it [23:50] well [23:50] i just went over and hit turned Front Mic all the way up [23:50] PoisonSerpent: if you arrowkey to th the right, is the mic muted? [23:50] lets test [23:50] synaptic = program managing suite? [23:51] and whats the difference between --reinstall and --reinstall [23:51] delinquentme: Software Centre is pretty basic at the moment, it will eventauly replace Synaptic [23:51] and whats the difference between --reinstall and reinstall [23:51] sound is still showing nothing [23:51] wng-: With technical issues it's often very difficult to know for sure that only one variable has changed. And there is good reason to doubt that you change could have fixed anything given the symptoms. [23:51] delinquentme: 10.10 probably actsaully, anyway system > administration > synaptic package manager [23:51] delinquentme: and when it does get replaced people will still be able to install it from the repo :) [23:51] sebsebseb: What is Software Centre? Experimental package manager? [23:52] Firefishe: no [23:52] Firefishe: its the program that replaced the old add/remove starting with 9.10 [23:52] Software center is a place to make it easier to obtain and manage software [23:52] just called echo123 on skype === ChrazRitt is now known as ChrazRitt_afk [23:52] still nothing [23:52] sebsebseb, Fishscene: What's the actual command to invoke it via CLI? [23:53] PoisonSerpent: can you do lspci -v| less and tell me what kind of audio card you have [23:53] I do not know. [23:53] sebsebseb, Fishscene: I'm on 10.04 [23:53] Fishscene: no software centre is not a command line app [23:53] Fishscene: its the newish graphical program for installing software [23:53] and removing it [23:53] I didn't think it was. but I think you mean Firefishe :P [23:53] PoisonSerpent:you may have to scroll around to find it === Fishscene is now known as Core === caffiend is now known as caffiend|afk [23:54] sebsebseb: Every application has to reside somewhere, usually in /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, somewhere. === Core is now known as Coreu [23:54] m4dm4x: Audio Device? [23:54] you two had a very similar name === ChrazRitt_afk is now known as ChrazRitt [23:54] sebsebseb: Incidentally, are we talking kde? [23:54] Firefishe: no === Guest87699 is now known as stevecam [23:55] Firefishe: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter [23:55] sebsebseb: thanks [23:55] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter [23:55] np [23:55] m4dm4x: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [23:55] PoisonSerpent: yeah, [23:55] SouthBridge.. hmm. [23:56] Core now I just need to start talking to Coreu or someone else with a C name, and I might start highlighting you by mistake again :D [23:56] PoisonSerpent: and you said the mike worked before? was that on this install? [23:56] m4dm4x: yes on this install [23:56] i installed an audio editor [23:56] is there anyone here using a laptop who has solved an overheating problem in linux? [23:57] and then uninstalled it [23:57] i think it messed up something [23:57] let me look for the name [23:57] PoisonSerpent: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:57] sebsebseb: The CLI command to invoke Software Centre is: software-center [23:57] oh Coreu you are core [23:57] my laptop is actually cooler after installing linux, with windows it got really hot [23:57] ChrazRitt: yes Ubuntu gets over heating issues on lap tops sometimes, I wonder about the other distros [23:57] PoisonSerpent: in sound preferences, under input, what is listed in connector === emc_ is now known as emc [23:58] I'm actually Fishscene. I changed my nick to avoid confusion. "Core" was taken already =\ [23:58] Coreu: yes I know you were Fishscene [23:59] m4dm4x: I installed Jokosher. Looks like I never uninstalled it. [23:59] lol sebsebseb :P [23:59] i will uninstall it and see if it works. [23:59] PoisonSerpent: forgive me, i am assuming you are using gnome with ubuntu lynx, is this correct
