[00:00] Jordan_U, the bios goes by too fast for me to tell if I am pressing the right button to get into it. But it appears that may be the issue, the keyboard may not work on the bios screen [00:00] ColMustrd: You can also change which menu entry is booted by default, and unhide the menu at boot, by editing /etc/default/grub then running "sudo update-grub" [00:00] nickserv tells me my nickname ethola is not a registered nickname [00:01] shall i just ignore that [00:01] ? [00:01] Jordan_U, nevermind, I did verify that the keyboard does work in the bios. [00:01] ethola, you mean it says that it _is_ a registered nickname ? [00:01] ethola: /msg nickserv help register [00:01] NickServ 00:51 [00:02] ethola is not a registered nickname. [00:02] ok thx [00:03] exit [00:03] ColMustrd: Odd, no idea why shift isn't bringing up the menu then. Editing /etc/default/grub (specifically GRUB_DEFAULT=) should still work though. [00:05] In Kubuntu 10.04 (kde 4.4.4/5), how do I make the system use nm-applet at startup, rather than knetwork-manager? [00:05] Jordan_U, ok. thanks [00:06] i am a newcomer in ubuntu but i like my desktop to be transparent and to have widgets , is there any recommendations for that ? [00:06] ColMustrd: You're welcome. === thoffmeyer is now known as thoffmeyer|AFK [00:06] ethola: Do you have the proprietary graphics driver for your system installed? [00:07] ethola: Also, what desktop? gnome? kde? [00:07] Jordan_U: thanks for the tip, VLC is working again [00:07] larsendt: You're welcome. [00:08] Firefishe : its ubuntu 10.04 gnome 2.3 all the driver should be fine cause i checked drivers in the controlpanel and it doesent tells me anything [00:08] hey, how do I create an environment variable systemwide? [00:08] I tried adding it to /etc/profile but it has no effect [00:09] ethola: On the top bar, click on System>Administration>Hardware Drivers -- This will bring up a dialog showing whether or not your graphics drivers are installed for your system. [00:09] hello again, i think it will work but i got an error [00:09] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/457599/ [00:10] please check, this is result of scanimage -L [00:10] Firefishe : it shows then no propreitary drivers in use on this system [00:11] ethola...brb [00:11] and modprobe.conf is " options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3 " [00:12] ethola: back [00:13] ethola: Click on System>Preferences>Appearance [00:13] ethola: Then, click on the Visual Effects Tab [00:13] what's a good tool to display computer stats in a panel? [00:13] Firefishe: ok i do that , my graphic card is by the way a ati radeon x1200 [00:13] Help! I am able to select text to copy, and middle click to paste everywhere, but select to copy doesn't work in Open Office, nomatter where I take it from (the repo or its official website). Ubuntu 10.04, Open Office 3.2. Works for another Debian user. How do I turn it on? Am I missing some package to integrate open office with xorg? [00:14] ethola: ATI can be a bit edgy in ubuntu (no pun intended) [00:15] Firefishe: yes i have noticed that , fullscreen at youtube doesent work in high resolution even its a hd graphic card [00:15] ethola: Under the Visual Effects Tab, select the Extra option, located at the bottom. [00:15] ethola: Well, full screen has a lot to do with flash-in-general, but having the proprietary driver installed for your system does make a big difference. [00:16] Firefishe : i applied extra effects , how can i get the propreitary driver ? [00:17] hi there [00:17] need some help with gwibber [00:17] how can i connect it to facebook? because i miss the "add" button [00:18] ethola: Go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [00:18] ethola: It should search for it automatically. [00:18] Andre_Re -I'm having same problem [00:19] rob0917: ok, that's no real solution but i feel better ;) [00:19] Firefishe : it shows me a empty box and no search :( [00:19] Andre_Re lol [00:20] ethola: Hmmm...not sure, then. It worked for me. [00:20] ethola: Another way is to just get the proper package manually from the manufacturer's web site. [00:20] hey, how do I create an environment variable systemwide? [00:20] ethola: ATI and Nvidia have, probably (not sure for ATI), Ubuntu packages. [00:21] ethola: Also be sure to specify 32bit or 64bit, depending on your architecture. [00:21] ethola: Meaning, more precisely, your distro. === S is now known as Guest86635 [00:22] ethola: For example, I'm using the 64-bit version of things. Most people should *probably* use the 32-bit, but it's really personal preference at this point. [00:23] Firefishe : i searched at their website and find a linux version for my graphic card that comes as a run file [00:23] hey all: I am trying to use xVidCap and record audio with my logitech USB headset. At first it worked, but now I am just getting a bunch of loud garbage. The headset is working with Skype.. Im using 9.10.. any ideas? [00:23] can anyone help me install a module for apache? I'm running it on ubuntu and have tried a few 'guides' out there for compiling the module and stuff but at step 1 it's not working. [00:24] Schuenemann: If memory serves me correctly, I think the export command might have something to do with it. [00:24] xomp: what did you do, what error message do you get [00:24] Schuenemann: man export [00:24] Firefishe, I used it [00:24] is there a way to install ubuntu 10.04 server from a ubuntu 9.0 live cd? [00:24] Schuenemann: Ah, good then :) [00:24] Firefishe, not good, it didn't work [00:25] Schuenemann: Well, it depends on what you're trying to set. What're you doing? [00:25] Firefishe, export DIR=/media/dir [00:25] gryllida, I'm trying to install the mod-evasive or mod-dosevasive on my webserver (ubuntu 10.04) and only found info on compiling the mod for ubuntu (as ubuntu likes out-dated packages for most things according to these documents). I have tried following this websites instructions http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2006/08/installing-mod_evasive-in-ubuntu/ but at step 1 I get "E: Couldn't find package apache2-preford-dev [00:26] oh wow [00:26] preford-dev.. nice.. [00:26] * xomp *facepalms* [00:26] ethola: What is the extention of the run file? .sh? [00:27] Firefishe : (.run) when i hoover the mouse over the download link [00:27] what is ubuntu exactly? [00:28] Firefishe : found this in the installation instructions : Operating Systems Distributions Supported [00:28] The latest version of the ATI Proprietary Linux driver is designed to support the [00:28] following Linux distributions: [00:28] • Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite [00:28] • Novell/SuSE product suite [00:28] ethola: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:28] ethola [00:29] don't post here...try www.pastebin.ca [00:29] ethola: or you can do it in /query [00:29] ethola: You should probably stick to the default driver. If no driver was offered in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers then the driver you are about to download probably either doesn't support current versions of Ubuntu or doesn't support your card. [00:29] xomp: LOL, typo? apache2-prefork-dev [00:29] is Ubuntu better than window 7? [00:29] ethola: I'd listen to Jordan_U. Newer cards/chipsets can be dicey. [00:30] !best | KongfuPanda [00:30] KongfuPanda: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:30] KongfuPanda: depends on how you use your machine, what for === cafuego_ is now known as cafuego [00:30] Jordan_U : ok thx for advice and iam new to this so therefore i didnt know about the copy paste thing in irc [00:31] I use it for Microsoft office,Firefox, World of warcraft, halo, counter strike,mathematica, origin, CIsco VPN cleint and other scientific software [00:31] ethola: No problem. When you go to the pastebin site, like www.pastebin.ca (there's a lot more, too), you just paste your text, press the Paste Button on the page, then you'll get a URL in the Address Bar and you copy *that*, then paste it on a single line in channel. [00:32] Firefishe: ok i stick with the integrated driver ,thx for help but how about the widgets and transparency ? [00:32] ethola: Well, transparency is usually a function of Compositing...which is a feature of the more-fuller-featured driver. [00:33] ethola: What you might do is do some googling around the ATI forums, web pages, etc. Do some research, then you might try loading something. Just *check it out first!* ;) Always a good idea. [00:33] ethola: What did you say you had again? ATI Radeon x1200? [00:34] any idea what this means? http://pastebin.com/mjXuHJKe [00:34] trying to compile this apache module [00:34] Firefishe : it is [00:34] ethola: What is the output of "pgrep compiz" in a terminal? [00:35] Jordan_U: Thanks. :) [00:35] Jordan_U: the numbers 1485 [00:35] xomp: Looks like you need libtool-dev [00:36] xomp: Any time you get a command not found error during a compile, it usually means the dev libraries aren't there. [00:36] Firefishe cool would I just "apt-get install libtool-dev" for that? [00:36] I'm not familiar with compiling [00:36] is there a way to add user on a server so that can log in local and get their account exported? is this the ldap, nis or nfs method? [00:36] ethola: Then the driver you are using currently supports transparency and other fancy effects already. [00:36] hold on...let me check your output again [00:36] and whats the difference [00:38] xomp: bring up a terminal, type in: sudo apt-get install libtool [00:38] ethola: What do you mean when you say that you want your desktop to be transparent? [00:38] xomp: or use Synaptic, and do a search for libtool-dev [00:39] Firefishe I'm using SSH (it's an ubuntu webserver) [00:39] Jordan_U: ok thx , i mean the panels like in windows 7 , but as what i read ubuntu 11 maybe transparent so i may wait for that [00:39] SSH is a protocol for Secure SHell session. [00:39] xomp: What are you trying to do? [00:40] Firefishe yeah it's a VPS lol, it has no head, only SSH :P trying to compile a module for apache :) [00:40] ethola: If you want something akin to panels, you might try kubuntu. [00:40] ethola: ever work with kde? === jenkins is now known as ubuntujenkins === ubuntujenkins is now known as jenkins [00:43] Firefishe : yes i have tried the livecd but is even more new to me and iam worried i cant get the same help and it will be much more up to my self cause its not as popular as ubuntu gnome [00:43] ethola: The default pannels don't support transparency very well, but there are other panels and docks that you can use. And just so you know, if you like fancy desktop effects there are tons available. You can even have your desktop on a spinning 3D cube, with windows that burst into flame when you close them :) [00:44] Jordan_U: Burst-Into-Flame??? *drool* ;) hee [00:44] anyone else want to try and help me with this error while compiling? http://pastebin.com/mjXuHJKe [00:44] Jordan_U: I haven't seen that one yet. Currently, my windows break apart. Where's the burst-into-flame setup? Usual place? [00:45] Jordan_U, ethola: Although I'm in gnome right now to help ethola :) [00:45] xomp: First, install libtool-dev [00:45] E: Couldn't find package libtool-dev [00:45] I have no sound in flash (ex. youtube), any idea what could be wrong? [00:46] then just: sudo apt-get install libtool [00:46] thanks Firefishe doing that now [00:46] xomp: No problem. I'll help as best I can. I'm not a code expert, but I'll share what I know. [00:47] Jordan_U : ok but i don t know much about setting up graphic effects and themes and iam unsure about searching at the web as i get different results [00:47] xomp: These things are best done in sequence. After installing libtool, redo the compile. We're you ./configure ing? [00:48] xomp: One thing you really need is this: sudo apt-get install build-essential [00:48] xomp: Installs the gcc compiler and other basic things to compile things. [00:49] Jordan_U : but i like to use what power my graphic card maybe have and add effects and themes , the flames and rotation cube seems like eye candy for me , i would like to have that :) [00:49] ethola: Themes can be configured in System > Preferences > Appearance, and there is also a very basic option for desktop effects there. If you want to have more options for desktop effects then install ccsm or simple ccsm (Compiz Config Settings Manager) from Applications > Ubuntu Software Center. [00:50] ethola: You only need to search for what applies to these things: 1. Your particular Distro, 2. Your particular graphics card, 3. Your particular computer: If laptop, your graphics chip. If a desktop, then your motherboard make and model may have issues, too, but it's usually similar. [00:51] ethola: If your desktop is a standard, commercially available model (HP, Dell, etc.), then there are forums for most of the major brands, and a few of the not-so-major ones, too. ;) [00:51] xomp: Any trouble? [00:52] Firefishe : ok thx for advice , i will check that out , and by the way its a Benq Nettop which is a desktop monitor with integrated computer [00:52] What does iBus do? [00:53] Firefishe: it is an input method manager (for typing in various languages) [00:53] ethola: I've not heard of it. I'll do some research of my own and see if there have been issues. [00:54] trism: I didn't catch your previous post, if any...what is an input manager? [00:54] hi guys just brought a asus xonar essence st and it was working yesterday... However today its not getting sound. [00:54] any help [00:54] cavej03: First of all, what is it? A computer? [00:54] cavej03: Also, I assume you're running ubuntu on it? [00:54] soundcard, 10.04 [00:55] Firefishe: it helps manage various input methods for typing in other languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, etc [00:55] cavej03: Ah...I see. [00:55] trism: Yes, but to whom did your comment pertain? ethola? [00:55] firefishe, it was amazing yesterday but today nothing [00:55] Firefishe: you said "What does iBus do?", I was responding to that [00:55] cavej03: Did any of your sound settings change at all? [00:55] trism: Ah...I see *bonk* ;-) [00:55] Firefishe, i checked my sound settings and they are the same and no [00:55] *headdesk* [00:56] Okay, this is peculiar... I have this USB hard disk caddy, into which I've installed a 60GB Samsung drive. If I connect it to my Windows PC, I can copy files to it, read from it, blah blah blah. If I connect it to my Acer Aspire One, currently running UNE 10.04, it makes clicking noises and the OS doesn't detect it. Anyone know why this might be? [00:56] cavej03: Have you tried restarting it just to see if it reloads and solves the problem? [00:56] Firefishe, yes no dice [00:56] Firefishe, i had this problem yesterday when i first installed the card and did just that [00:57] Hey guys I keep getting 'The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WindowMenuApplet"' when trying to add the Window Menu Applet to the GNOME panel. Anybody know if this is a known issue or how to fix it? [00:58] How does on restart alsa in 10.04? [00:58] on=one [00:59] cavej03: Might need an alsa restart, but I forget the command offhand.

[01:01] Guest12225: I'd use synaptic. [01:01] Firefishe, sha1sum, No luck [01:01] i will, but is there a reason for this? [01:01] i need save a long page in moinmoin. Error 500: The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

[01:02] how do i install flash on chromium in ubuntu 10.04 [01:02] Firefishe: alsa is built in, not a module in the default 10.04 install [01:02] cavej03: Make sure nothing is muted. [01:02] sha1sum: *headdesk* again...riiiight! [01:02] Firefishe, ya in the typical places [01:02] cavej03: k [01:02] Firefishe, check using alsamixer? [01:02] anyone? [01:03] md5 hash that needs cracking,anyone? [01:03] cavej03: any mixer should indicate whatever is muted, but alsamixer is fine. I'd use the standard gnome or kde interfaces first, though [01:03] Guest12225: what do you mean by "it won't work" does it give a message or something? [01:03] Firefishe, ya i did that so thats why I was thinking alsamix [01:04] cavej03: bring up a terminal and try it :) [01:04] Firefishe, posible problem, its gone to my hdmi interface [01:04] Firefishe : ihave modified compiz with compiz config know and know i can rotate as a cube , it works perfect but i like those widgets and another theme , but do you still recommend kde 4 ? [01:04] shalsum i click install, and nothing happens [01:04] Firefishe, from my video card [01:04] just did a dist-upgrade on my ubuntu server and rebooted it. now it has a filesystem error [01:04] is there a command that can generate a random number? (bash) [01:05] HI! My upgrade to 10.4 has been stuck at "Disabling Power management" for the past 4 hours... What can I do to fix this? [01:05] ethola: If you can run compiz with your integrated system, you can do pretty much whatever you want in kde 4, as well. Just depends on your desktop preference. [01:05] Firefishe, quick restart brb [01:05] how do i install flash on chromium in ubuntu 10.04??? [01:06] fwaokda go into software manager and install ubutntu restricted drivers [01:06] guys only my left speaker plays sound the right had some misses and now nothing [01:06] What is the current stable version of kde in kubuntu 10.04? 4.3.2 ? [01:06] Guest12225, thanks [01:06] hardware huh? [01:06] i ahve hdmi audio [01:06] no problem :P [01:08] how do I enable the select-to-copy feature in open office 3.2? it works elsewhere [01:08] Firefishe : yes i think it:s kde 4.4 , is nt the latest kde 4.5 ? [01:08] Firefishe, no luck.. [01:09] ethola: Yes, it is 4.4.4 or 4.4.5 for some packages. It's not 4.5 completely yet. To get the 4.5 Releace Candidate (4.5 RC) you have to use the ppa respository. 4.5 may be buggy, though. [01:09] Firefishe, can i disable the hdmi on video card i remember a way of blacklisting somehow [01:09] cavej03: beyond my experience [01:09] Firefishe, NP [01:10] Firefishe : can i still use this channel for kubuntu or should i switch to #kubuntu [01:10] anyone knows about md5 hashes? [01:11] still cant fix the video on skype, it just crashes :( where to go from here [01:11] ethola: This channel seems to be the place for both these days. #kubuntu is active, but this one is more so in my experience. [01:11] ethola: kde-specific questions should probably be asked in #kde [01:12] razorr https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [01:12] thx [01:12] razorr like what? how to check ? [01:12] Firefishe : ok i will use #kde if so , but is nt kde much more complicated and for more experienced users ? [01:12] cavej03: What type of video card do you possess again? [01:12] any ideas why Eterm would suddenly stop passing ctrl-H as the backspace sequence? or how to fix it? [01:12] razorr md5sum file.iso and check the result with google [01:12] Firefishe, ATI 4890 [01:13] ethola: It's just for kde specific things. You can ask anything related to ubuntu/kubuntu in here. It's just that some things are very kde-specific. Compiling kde from svn, for example, might be better asked in #kde. [01:13] Firefishe, im reading up on something now [01:13] no u didnt get it [01:13] i have a md5 hash [01:13] and i want to crack it [01:13] cavej03: Look around, you'll probably find it. Wish I could help more. [01:14] Firefishe, Np at all. [01:14] i know its difficult [01:14] xomp: Still doing okay?

[01:24] Lil: whats the issue? [01:25] hullo, if you already have ubuntu running your fear is that win will overwrite GRUB [01:25] hullo, throw your hard drive in the bin and walk away [01:25] hullo: put Windows on after Ubuntu, and it will go over the bootloader, making Windows only boot, and making so Ubuntu will boot up again is a bit of a pain [01:25] these are open, http browsable repositories. You can see the file that apt is attempting to fetch and that it does not exist. [01:25] ethola: the .. was just to separate the sentence, by the way [01:25] anyone know what filesystem i should format to if im trying to install osx on , im using gparted [01:25] PENAS: you can stop anytime. [01:25] ethola, and if you dont like it, sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [01:25] i love starting [01:25] ImaLamer: sebsebseb: yes ive heard [01:25] Firefishe: aha thanks , so easy it could be , just love that [01:25] any help anyone? [01:25] but the Steam sale got me good lol [01:25] reedsw: yep, but will that work for the meta package alone? [01:25] I'm trying to make a custom desktop launcher that I can drag a file onto and have that file's path/filename used as an argument in the launcher [01:26] hullo: maybe you can just virtual machine WIndows inside Ubuntu, with enough RAM and such. Fine for most apps not 3D games for example though. [01:26] ethola: gnome is quite easy, and predictable. [01:26] hullo, though i think it can be restored with something like a live CD though [01:26] Firefishe, yes [01:26] ex: "gpsbabel -igpx -f -ogarmin -F/dev/ttyUSB0" [01:26] I have Ubntu installed on a flash drive, it does the normal dual boot thing with XP and goes into the command line which I was compleely unprepared for, I do not know aht to do next [01:26] killminusnine what happens if you in a terminal sudo apt-get update ? Fail? What about the proprietary hardware drivers interface? [01:26] sebsebseb: see my last statement ;) [01:26] take out the usb drive and walk away [01:26] the idea is that what-ever file is dragged onto the launcher would be used as the "-f" argument (having a space after the -f works just fine as well) [01:26] pondera: hfsplus, but you might as well just let OSX's installer do it (it probably won't install to an existing filesystem anyway) [01:26] hullo: you can run Steam with WIne, also apparantly a native version is coming soon [01:27] Firefishe, as far as I knew it removed everything. I swapped out till i ran into xfce and havent gone any further [01:27] I have been reding docs until Im so confused Its making me nuts [01:27] Lil, step away from the keyboard [01:27] everytime i try and copy a file from a windows network share on ubuntu lucid i get a permission denied error even if im root [01:27] no kiding [01:27] DarwinSurvivor: I believe you can set up custom commands from within the Launcher's setup dialog, can't you? Run a custom command line argument? [01:27] Firefishe, and if I was questionable on it I ran sudo apt-get autoremove and then say that it would remove the libs that went with it [01:27] Lil: yeah, that sucks. I don't know much about installing to a flash drive. [01:27] Lil, that's maybe the only good advice PENAS will give too [01:28] jordan_u so osx will take unpartitioned space and format it? [01:28] well iot did not work exactly the ay the be site said but it doesboot [01:28] reedsw: Thank you. I ran into this problem the last time I installed the distro. This helps for future reference. [01:28] throw it in the trash [01:28] Firefishe: yes, but it would be nice for the commandline argument to match what-ever file is dragged onto the launcher, is this even possible? [01:28] spit on it [01:28] Lil: what site? pendrivelinux.com? [01:28] pondera: Yes. [01:28] hey look at this movie trailer peoplez http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzza-ZbEY70&feature=popular [01:28] DarwinSurvivor: if you're editing the desktop file, %f expands to the file's path [01:28] that sounds familiar [01:28] thanks jordan_u [01:28] ive been up al night on this and all day so my brain is fuzzy at this point on details like that [01:28] Lil, you likely are having issues loading X? or that setup has no X? (someone jump in...) [01:29] pondera: You're welcome. [01:29] DarwinSurvivor: I don't know. You may need several custom launchers. Trying to convert a gpx file, eh? [01:29] trism: wouldn't that be the path of the launcher? I want the path of the file dragged ONTO the launcher to be used :( [01:29] spit on it and reboot Lil [01:29] Firefishe: it asked me about kdm or gdm after download of files , i choiced kdm , is it bad ? [01:29] !ot | cannonfodder [01:29] cannonfodder: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:29] Firefishe: just sending it to a gps actually [01:29] LOL @ penas [01:29] I am running ubuntu from a live CD...I originally had windows XP SP3...I installed ubuntu and then afterwards I rebooted, and I got into the grub recovery prompt thing...I tried googling it but I couldn't get anything to work...I have grub 0.98, If I recall...>> I just need the bootloader thing to work? [01:29] DarwinSurvivor: no I mean the file you drag onto the launcher [01:29] the only argument that is not hardcoded is the filename, everything else is static [01:29] drag the launcher to the main menu [01:29] trism: really? cool [01:29] ethola: kdm isn't bad, but you might want gdm as a default login/display manager. It just depends on how your system behaves. [01:29] * DarwinSurvivor goes off to experiment with %f [01:30] Lil: what are you trying to do in the first place? [01:30] Shadow: and... how can we help you? :) [01:30] ChogyDan, plz let me handle this [01:30] ready to give up on ubuntu 10.04 - tried many things but run into one problem after another trying to install [01:30] Firefishe : oh i should have asked before applied , but is it not the kde login then ? [01:30] throw away the 10.04 iso [01:30] tibman, welcome back :P [01:30] iflema: I am sufficiently embarassed, but will admit that apt-get update actually did the trick. I guess running that directed apt to a different address. Thank you kindly, good sir or madame [01:30] Typos_Kings: How do I get the GRUB to let me see ubuntu and windows? >> I get a prompt instead of...whatever I should have? [01:30] it boot to a comand line and the typinfg says grub. i figured out grub is a progarm but I have NO CLUE as to waht to type in to somethign like gnome or even KDE to com eup,. complete newbie here, been drooling over gettign this installed for years andnow the curser jsut blinks at me..roflmao [01:30] hello again imalamer [01:31] use ubuntu [01:31] Lil, sounds like the user is the problem [01:31] Shadow: Is it a "rescue> " prompt or a "grub> " prompt? [01:31] hey PENAS N KIDDING LOL [01:31] ethola: To reconfigure it later, you just do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm , or sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm. Either/or will bring up a dialog that lets you choose either one. Then you just either log out and restart the xserver, or, if you have nothing to save: sudo service gdm restart or sudo service kdm restart [01:31] killminusnine its best to update before installing software and upgrading.... uses next to no bandwidth... most worth it.. :) [01:31] apparently i only get a permission denied error when i try to copy a specific file to ubuntu from the windows share [01:31] Lil: are you trying to just run the iso? are you trying to install to the harddrive? [01:31] Grub, it says grub recovery>" or something like that [01:31] imalamer, I figured out the black screen issue but now when I get to the keyboard impute step 3 of install the process locks up [01:32] o.0 [01:32] << freely admits she could not be greener if she was a leaf in spring [01:32] iflema: I'll set a cron ;-) [01:32] Shadow: is this at first boot? [01:32] run the iso [01:32] After install from live CD, yes! [01:32] ethola: gdm is the gnome display manager. kdm is the kde display manager. I find gdm works a bit more stably with my particular laptop. [01:32] Shadow: you need to make a /boot partition in the first 1024 cylinders [8gb or so] of the disk [01:32] LIl, admitting that your female will get you far in this channel :) (and IRC) [01:32] ok [01:32] ...I do that how? [01:32] ImaLamer: Please stop. [01:32] Lil, step away from the computer [01:32] ...and life :) [01:33] what do I get if I do? [01:33] Jordan_U, really? [01:33] Shadow: uh... you know, i'm not sure if you can if you're leaving your windows install alone [01:33] ur dignity === ruff|ja_volto is now known as ruffles [01:33] anyone else know more about partitioning [and what windows won't react badly to] than me [01:33] ...I have one drive, I did the side by side install thing... [01:33] Lil: were you following the directions on ubuntu.com? [01:33] Random832, plz leave [01:33] !ot | PENAS [01:33] PENAS: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:33] Shadow what did u install first [01:33] Random832, what is the windows / partition question at hand? [01:34] after 20 hours of reading docs and tryign to install this thing, Im supposed to have any dignity intact? sheesh what wil they think of next [01:34] ImaLamer: http://xkcd.com/322/ [01:34] Windows XP was on the machine first, if that's what you mean [01:34] Shadow: http://paste2.org/p/898712 <--- skip the # comments :), I don't think you need to mount the XP partition, but anyhow [01:34] Lil, seems like another case of the user being the error [01:34] ImaLamer: is it possible to move a windows partition to the 'right' and place a primary partition [for /boot] before it, without disturbing the windows installation? [01:34] Chogy what the directions say was supposed to happen and waht really happened arelike mars and venus. bot planets but way far apart [01:34] !guidelines | PENAS [01:34] does anyone know how to get past the third step of install without the window locking up? <--------------------------------------------- [01:34] PENAS: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [01:34] Lil, just drops to the grub prompt on boot? [01:35] i had to make a /boot but i wiped windows so it was simpler for me [01:35] codebrain Yes [01:35] Lil: ignore PENAS, as he is just trollin / joking around [01:35] Lil: Shadow: Can you run this script http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ from a LiveCD and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces? [01:35] Lil, fresh install? [01:35] Lil, seems like another case of the user being the error [01:35] Random832, not likely - just as if you moved your /boot to another partition, the boot manager will lock [01:35] Uhm...sure, I can try... [01:35] tibman: I don't even know what the 3rd step is to begin with heeh [01:35] coebrain fresh like 2 hours ago [01:35] Random832, though if you resize and move the volume with the right tools it may 'fix' all that for you [01:36] ImaLamer: what about leaving the windows partition as sda1 and making the /boot sda2 [but earlier physically] [01:36] thanks IdleOne [01:36] i know it's possible, some tools complain about it though [01:36] jordan I have no idea hoqw to do that [01:36] Firefishe : sorry but the list rolls so fast so i cant copy the commands for login manager but is it bether to chat in separate windond one to one ? [01:36] ethola: yes, no problem :) [01:36] Lil: of course, the easiest solution would be to just burn a cd, can you do that? [01:36] Shadow: whatever you do, you'll need to boot into the livecd and open gparted, so start doing that [01:36] out of compatible CDrs. have to order online [01:37] I am on the livecd.... [01:37] this is an antique that still works [01:37] gparted, I have to download that, right? [01:37] Random832, I think the problem is to move to the 'right' would require a reboot and then you're hosed, doing it live would allow you to modify the bootloader before reboot :( [01:37] well, before I go, does anyone have any strong opinions on linuxmint? [01:37] no, it comes with the livecd [01:37] make sure all your hard drives are unmounted [01:37] Where is it located? [01:37] ImaLamer: huh? [01:37] Lil, define antique [01:37] Shadow: alt-f2 type gparted [01:37] cool i enter [01:37] i need to 277,000 txt files in different folder to one folder. what is my best approach on this? [01:37] moving the drive to the right would be a 'move' and done on a non-live partition [01:37] found the CD i ordered months ago . that would bot but i figred it is so old i would not know how to update it [01:38] Lil: btw, grub is the bootup program. It runs at boot and figures out which OS to run (if that helps you to understand what's happening..) [01:38] I need to be root to run it >> [01:38] let me pull info up brb [01:38] so im getting this error whenever i go to run an opengl program in ubuntu 10.04 64-bit .... freeglut (./a.out): Unable to create OpenGL 1.0 context (flags 0, profile 0) ..... im not really sure what this means, as ive just started learning opengl, anyone have any ideas? [01:38] ImaLamer: well, yeah - i know _that_ - he can't boot his hard disk now anyway [01:38] oh well, i guess I will wait to a new edition of ubuntu comes out to try it for the first time [01:38] Random832, oh well then hose it :) [01:38] Shadow: oh yeah, gksu gparted sorry [01:39] Ok, it's loading [01:39] snarkster, move or copy or link? [01:39] Shadow: i am going to recommend now that if you have any important data on your hard disk you should back it up to an external drive or CDR. what you are about to do could make windows unbootable. [01:39] tibman, maybe keep an eye out for daily builds of the CDs? [01:39] snarkster: *.txt [01:39] codebrainz: move [01:39] killminusnine check it out.... it has a live option I believe... Thats not exactly an Ubuntu support question ;) [01:39] Uhm... [01:39] [er, even moreso] [01:39] Does it matter if windows is unbootable? I can still recover data from the files, right? [01:39] maybe i should have said rather that it may or may not fix windows [01:39] snarkster, mv folder1/* folder2/ should be fine [01:39] Shadow you can recover data from dead hard drives [01:40] still good to keep backups - especially since you're going to be working with an NTFS partition [01:40] Shadow, Random832 - that is good advice. Use the live CD to move/copy data to the USB drive, etc [01:40] iflema: Using it now. More just wondered if there was a "stay away" attitude. Thanks again. Off I go. [01:40] compaq Evo D310 Xp pro sp 3 1993 Mhz upgraded as far as it can go [01:40] [there is no chkdsk for ntfs that runs under linux] [01:40] snarkster, it should be pretty quick to move, just don't use the -v option [01:40] codebrainz: Im not looking for the directories just the txt files [01:40] I don't have anything I really need to copy so... [01:40] snarkster: mv *.txt /dest [01:40] ok... the first thing you want to do in gparted [01:40] nice [01:40] Lil: Could you give a brief summary of your situation. What version of Ubuntu did you install? Is there anything preventing you from downloading the latest Ubuntu and installing it to a CD? Etc. [01:40] you see your windows partition at the beginning of the drive, right? [01:40] switch10_: they are in different directories [01:40] but the real shirt is [01:41] snarkster, what I said will move all the text files from folder1 to folder2 [01:41] Shadow, Random832 - why are we worried about LBA? How old is this BIOS? [01:41] edit that partition and resize it leaving an area of free space (only needs a couple hundred megabytes) to the left of it [01:41] snarkster, well, it will MOVE everything mv folder1/*.txt folder2/ for just text [01:41] http://images.4chan.org/v/src/1277944661699.jpg [01:41] LBA? I don't know...mine is 4 or so years old [01:41] ImaLamer: he got a completely failed boot [grub recovery mode] immediately after the livecd - that's the only thing i know that as a symptom of. [01:41] codebrainz: but will it move all txt files from 1100 different directories to one directory? [01:42] Hi [01:42] *immediately after install, first boot, specifically [01:42] Ranakah, oh i saw that [01:42] and i know that was what solved that for me [01:42] snarkster, no, not with *.txt (unless the dirs end in that by chance) [01:42] http://images.4chan.org/v/src/1277943776251.jpg [01:42] dodororu90: please stop that [01:42] Random832, that is the *right* way to do things, I recommend it [01:43] version 10.04 clean fresh install to 8 gig USB . when it boots i get the choice of xp or ubuntu. click on ubuntu and it goes to curser with grub at the command line and then the promtp. i want to know how to chnge from the grub prompt to a gui like gnome or kde and set it to automatically load a gui so i dont have to fol with that any more [01:43] Shadow, what version of windows [01:43] XP SP# [01:43] *SP3 [01:43] ImaLamer: which? [01:43] oh, having a /boot? [01:44] Lil, at the boot menu, read the directions for how to Edit. edit the ubuntu one, and in there you'll need to make some changes [01:44] Shadow, okay, good because vista + will mess with your /boot partition (I believe) [01:44] Ok... [01:44] Ive read so many different dos trying to figure this one out i gave up , my nbrain is soo full [01:44] The Gparted thing? should I do something with it now? [01:44] ImaLamer: i think that's the MBR [01:44] ... [01:44] Shadow: did you resize your windows partition to the right? [01:44] Lil: do you have xp installed to that usb drive also? [01:44] Uhm...I am not sure what your talking about, so probably not [01:44] Lil: and you get those choices even if the usb stick with ubuntu installation isn't plugged in? while XP boots ok, right? [01:45] ok now create a partition in the space you opened up - it might not let you, i'm not sure if gparted lets you make partitions out of physical order [01:45] Random832, it's the goofy vista bootloader, seems like they are trying to copy grub [01:45] Hello All, [01:45] Hello All, [01:45] ImaLamer: i never had a problem dual booting vista [01:45] Random832, Shadow yes you should be able to [01:45] but anyway, Shadow , where are you at right now in the process [01:45] hi, after installing 10.04 the dhcp client is not working, it always get the wierd number 192.168.1.20... while it should get around 10.1.1.1.... [01:45] i.e. what have you done so far [01:46] just opened gparted? [01:46] Random832, i had a hell of a time installing ubuntu via wubi bc of this stupid 'hidden' drive [01:46] Shadow: Can you run this script http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ from a LiveCD and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces? [01:46] ImaLamer: well wubi is a hack anyway [01:46] Don't I have to mount my drive for that? >> Doing Gparted... [01:46] * Random832 grumbles evil things about wubi [01:46] kubanc, that looks like a normal lan ip [01:46] hehe [01:46] Xp is origanl install, on primary hd ( C DRIVE) ubuntu is on usb. if no usb is in slot it boots to Xp just fine as normal [01:47] kulinor* [01:47] Lil, et.al. the problem is the BIOS is giving out new drive assignments with the USB stick as 0 [01:47] Noz3001:but it is wrong, i dont know where it get this number from... [01:47] I have set up a printer with the raw driver and then when I try to send to it with the lpr command, it gives a "no such file or dirrectory" error. [01:47] does it work? [01:47] Is there any way to see the progress gparted has made in copying a filesystem? [01:47] Lil: what version is the old cd you mentioned? [01:47] this is a common issue installing windows with an external drive [01:47] Noz3001; the dhcp server assgien only 10.1.1.x [01:47] makes sense since i set it up that way like directions said to have it boot to USB forst [01:48] Lil, it's probably because Ubuntu decided to call your drive something it isn't anymore, using the misnamed UUID naming system, it's pretty easy to fix [01:48] Can anyone help. [01:48] Can anyone help? [01:48] listens intently [01:48] ImaLamer: it used to be a problem with linux on scsi, too [01:48] Please. [01:48] Alex...I remember that happening to me, I'm trying to figure out what I did. [01:48] Okay. [01:48] Shadow: no, you need ot NOT have your drive mounted, for gparted to work [01:48] Thanks. [01:48] Alex, is it a network printer, or is it plugged directly into your computer? [01:48] UHm...I have three partitions now that I moved it...I think one was made when I installed the ubuntu side by side with windows thing? So do I need to be doing this at all? [01:49] huh? [01:49] And I have to mount my drive for the boot script, don't I? [01:49] can you post a picture of your gparted window? [01:49] Lil, you need to follow the directions in grub to edit the boot menu items, (i think it's just pressing 'e' when the ubuntu line is selected) [01:49] kulinor, it looks like something a router would assign as default [01:49] Random832, codebrainz - I couldn't install win7 without removing the external drive - windows doesn't allow install to USB and gets confused when it sees USB as drive0 [01:49] Shadow: boot script? [01:49] Yeah, jordan asked me to do the boot script thing... [01:49] boot info script [01:50] ImaLamer, but ubuntu will run fine, if not slow, from usb [01:50] How do I use bash to convert .emf files to .svg? I've looked into the CLI for Inkscape but it only seems to do .svg->.png, and ImageMagick only does raster images. [01:50] Shadow: No, the script does all of the mounting that's needed. [01:50] Ok [01:50] Jordan_U: i doubt you need it mounted for that [i also doubt the sript will tell you anything you don't already know, but that's me [01:50] perhaps he means grub? [01:50] Code brain , thaks Ill try that and see if it works [01:50] *s//Shadow [01:51] Lil, you're missing the 2nd step still [01:51] Ok, where can I put the picture up at? [01:51] go ahead and run it though [01:51] is this room supposed to be aabkle to copy and paste stuff ? I can get it to work? [01:51] Lil: I think for what you are trying to do, you shouldn't get a choice between xp and ubuntu. It should just boot ubuntu. Editing grub will be hard. I think it would be better to start over with better directions [01:51] Shadow: i don't care - imageshack, photobucket, tinypic, flickr - whatever you already post pics on [01:51] oh ok, still listening intenetly [01:51] or just email it to me [tell me and i'll msg you my address [01:52] hi [01:52] okay... now i have a question - I've created a second swap partition and want to move to that.. ideas? [01:52] how to update libc6 ? [01:52] i.e. not use the other anymore [01:52] http://tinypic.com/r/34t639y/6 [01:52] ImaLamer: swap partitions to be activated at boot are listed in /etc/fstab, and you use swapon/swapoff to change at runtime [01:52] Lil, are you following this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB [01:53] chogy at this point afte al this Im so ticked to get jsut a non wind prog to even try to boot i cant stand tha idea of screwing this up but tryng to reinsall unles sit is an abolute have to short of a install party and we aint exactly got a lot of unix users in this area [01:53] am I missing some package, open office is unable to put text to buffer when I select it (middle click doesn't paste what I expect), and the box 'use system fonts for system interface' doesn't take any effect – any ideas? [01:53] hello! [01:53] hi! [01:53] let me g look at it again and ill tel you [01:53] Random832, the new is in the fstab so turn off swap, remove old, reboot, turn on swap [01:53] ImaLamer: i don't see where a reboot would be required [01:54] ubottu libc6 [01:54] just swapon the new one, swapoff the old one, and edit fstab at leisure [01:54] Lil, reinstall will fix nothing, ubuntu/grub is identifying your ubuntu drive as some arbitrary ID that is not longer valid, you need to tell it the valid name of the partition where ubuntu is installed [01:54] Random832, okay cool [01:54] Lil, it wouldn't be an issue if it were on a fixed disk [01:54] <_2> installed ubuntu 10 4 when i run 'start gdm' it says it's "gdm start/running, process 1450 [01:54] <_2> but no gui ??? [01:55] _2 does the harddrive stop working after that like it's waiting? [01:55] Shadow: i only see one partition in that, are you sure that's the drive you installed it side-by-side on? [01:55] codebrainz: How did you come to that conclusion? [01:55] _2, press Ctrl+Alt+F1-F8 and see if the UI is on any of those [01:55] you didn't delete any partitions did you? [01:55] Jordan_U, have had the same issue [01:55] <_2> imalamer no [01:55] Running the script, and NO I did not delete any partitions... [01:55] code brain I found tha t page , let me look at it and see hwo close it comes [01:56] There is one big green one, and two small grey ones... [01:56] hi alll. I`m try to config my wireless by command line on my acer aspire 3100 (it`s not a netbook) and I made this script on /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/VSihRL3Q - so I run 'start networking' and show 'networking stop/waiting' but I can`t get a apt-get... what is missing? [01:56] the gray spaces aren't partitions [01:56] they're empty space [01:56] Jordan_U, the "Universally" Unique Identifier is not really "universal" [01:56] <_2> codebrainz why? i know about tty's and no gui is running [01:56] _2, k, worth a look :) [01:56] Shadow: post the output of the script, i'm curious to see it now too [01:56] _2 gotta start somewhere :) [01:57] always check the cables firs [01:57] Hi! [01:57] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/G24DxbiW [01:57] <_2> codebrainz imalamer used left-alt + right-dirrectional to cycle through all active tty's next ? [01:57] how do i install my wireless drivers when offline...... i can get them from the internet on a flash drive and install it from there? [01:57] _2, have you tried /etc/init.d/gdm start ? [01:57] I have a garmin 60cx that I am trying to use with gpsbabel (over usb). on my arch laptop it appears as /dev/ttyUSB0, but on my ubuntu machine it doesn't appear at all, do I need to add some udev rules or something? [01:58] <_2> codebrainz it just says use 'start gdm' [01:58] Shadow: ok. you have two hard drives, and you installed ubuntu on a different one than windows. You did not mention this fact [01:58] close gparted without doing anything [01:58] I'm very new to ubuntu (and linux overall). I'm trying to instal zoneminder onto a freshly installed ubuntu. When I do the ./configure thing I get an error that says "....configure: error: C++ compiler cannot recreate executables [01:58] how do i fix that? [01:58] o.o? I did?.... [01:58] I clicked side by side... [01:59] And I already did something in gparted, should I undo it? [01:59] ok, then the installer probably screwed something up [01:59] Shadow: as long as you didn't hit the checkmark button, you're fine [01:59] Oh, ok [01:59] gparted requires confirmation before doing anything [01:59] could anyone help me [02:00] Shadow: Does you BIOS support booting from USB? [02:00] I don't think so... [02:00] Not sure [02:00] hi for evrybody [02:01] DarwinSurvivor, just plugged in a different gps device, shows as ttyUSB0 here as well [02:01] just wanna a help [02:01] ok sop if im undersanding this i type in # to boot from a USB device [02:01] title Boot USB drive [02:01] root (hd1,0) [02:01] chainloader +1 [02:01] Lil: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:01] boot into the grub configuration (usually in /boot/grub/menu.lst) and it should straighten it self out?? [02:01] Shadow: so you are aware you have two hard drives, at least, correct? [02:01] Shadow: Neither of the drives is USB though, correct? [02:01] i u like to help me plz [02:01] one 320GB and one 750GB [02:01] OPPS sorry! [02:01] how are they attached? both internal, one external, etc [02:01] !hi | freedom [02:01] freedom: 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! [02:01] Oh, the 750GB is external, Firewire [02:01] <_2> start gdm [02:01] <_2> gdm start/running, process 1550 [02:01] how to upgrade my wireless driver [02:01] ok. you've managed to install ubuntu on the external drive, by accident [and the installer somehow screwed up setting up grub] [02:02] codebrainz: that's what it does in Arch Linux, but in ubuntu I get an obscure (cell-phone-like) entry in /dev/usb/... :( [02:02] hi, brasero does not see a blank cd. what's up?9.10 - yes ubuntu will see a burnt cd. -- This is totally new today.----> Installed Gnomebaker. Failed. why? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dthSQbYs [02:02] Lil, on the line there with kernel vmlinuz root=UUID= you need to replace the UUID part with the partition device name [02:02] random if yout alking to me no i did it on purpose [02:02] Shadow: If Ubuntu is on the Firewire drive, and your BIOS doesn't support booting from firewire, then that explains everything. [02:02] ttyUSB0 is what i WANT, right now it doesn't do anything (in ubuntu) [02:02] sorry i'm biggner [02:02] Yeah, I didn't want it to install on the firewire >< [02:02] can u tell me how where to start] [02:02] My recommendation would be to _unplug_ the firewire drive, and redo the ubuntu install [02:02] is on usb and my bios does support usb boot [02:02] Had prob. w/ Bracero so Installed Gnomebaker. Failed. why? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dthSQbYs [02:02] Ok [02:02] Erm [02:03] First... [02:03] How do I uninstall ubuntu from it? [02:03] Any idea why I have eth1 and eth3 but no 0 and 2? === dregorth is now known as greenjon [02:03] DarwinSurvivor, you could try dmesg | tail -n 20 after plugging in the device to see if it's getting recognized properly [02:03] Shadow: just open gparted /dev/sdb, delete the linux partitions, and resize the windows one to fill the whole disk [02:03] They are different hard drives? @.@ Ok...will try [02:04] Is there a way to essentially redo the hardware detection and auto configuration of hardware? [02:04] "new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5" then "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" [02:04] you can do that now, or you can do it after you install ubuntu on the internal drive [02:04] codebrainz: ^ [02:04] freedom: i'm unable to help you on the issue, but please give everyone else a little bit more information (i.e. version of ubuntu you're on and what kind of wireless card you have) [02:04] Lil, you need to replace that root=UUID= with something like root=/dev/sdb1 (or whatever your usb drive is named) [02:04] Lil: Im going to let you go with codebrainz. I still think you'll have an easier time starting over, and getting help following a single doc. You should be able to just install the iso to a usb, set the bios to boot usb, and then go. You shouldn't get a grub menu with a choice between xp and ubuntu unless you do something fancy [02:05] DarwinSurvivor, i wonder if it's detecting it as a "mass storage device" type thing? [02:05] codebrainz: in arch it displays a usb/tty converter being initialized [02:05] freedom: put all of it together on one line and hopefully someone will know the answer and can help you :) [02:05] Shadow: You're going to need to either install Ubuntu to /dev/sda, the drive that has windows on it, or at least put Ubuntu's /boot partition there (the rest of Ubuntu can be on the firewire drive as after the kernel is loaded it can read the firewire drive even though the BIOS can't) [02:05] Jordan_U: he says he didn't intend to put it on the firewire - the installer probably doesn't know what to do with two hard drives [02:05] codebrainz: not that I can see :( [02:05] <_2> what == inittab ??? [02:05] 有没有说中国话的呀 [02:06] ChogyDan, from what I gather Lil is installing ubuntu proper to a removable USB drive, not just installing from a usb stick [02:06] ok so i do all tha tother stuff on the web page t figure out for sure waht the name is showing as an just replace waht is in ther with hat sam ename?

[02:08] which driver i don't know [02:08] <_2> bastid_razor [ /etc/upstart != /etc/inittab ] ? [02:08] is work but not like the windows 7 [02:08] freedom, can you plug the laptop into an ethernet cable and get connect that way for now? [02:08] windows 7 more strong [02:08] Lil, replace the root=UUID=blah... with root=/dev/sdXN (where sdXN is you partition device name) [02:08] no [02:08] i can in wireless [02:08] Make a parition for windows and install it there [02:09] system -> administration -> Disk* [02:09] i launched a program in wine to listen to music. it worked fine. when i launched it today it killed my sound. i got help from some guy and he fixed it. i had to purge and install some stuff. i tried lanuching it again thinking it was just a temporary glitch and now i have the same problem. can someone help me fix it again? :} [02:09] k1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:10] hello. i just saw the FB invite. [02:10] I don't think I have any mounted to begin with... [02:10] gee tahtks [02:10] freedom, if you go to "Places" on the menu do you see it? [02:10] _2: try asking for help with your actual problem [the gdm thing] rather than complaining about the lack of something familiar to solve it yourself [02:10] _2: that sounds like a tough problem and the help is free. just please be patient and hopefully someone is around that can give you a hand [02:10] amoment [02:10] sorry it is taking me so lng to repsond but for some reason copy and [paste does not work in here and im having to type al this out by hand [02:10] Shadow: screenshot? [02:10] Lil, have you installed using the Ubuntu CD to a USB drive, or are you trying to install Ubuntu from a USB drive onto your harddrive [02:11] ImaLamer: i think the problem is that freedom's signal strength is stronger in win 7 than ubuntu [02:11] yaeh i can see the partion [02:11] Let me post it, one moment [02:11] When I try to use ffmpeg to convert .flv to .avi, I always get this error: Could not find codec parameters (Video: h264) How do I get the h264 codec? [02:11] greenjon, oh ty for the translation [02:11] ya you right greenjon [02:11] greenjon, these are typically broadcrap, so drivers are restricted, etc [02:11] Is there anyway to test if my sound card is working or not? I want to determine if there's something wrong with my drivers or my hardware? [02:11] Anyone here twitter from a console? how?

[02:13] yep [02:13] I saw the DSL pen drive months ago and I wanted one so i did it on purpose [02:13] Lil: did you try unetbootin? [02:13] Is there anyway to test if my sound card is working or not? I want to determine if there's something wrong with my drivers or my hardware? [02:13] Lil, ok, then what I said before is valid [02:14] chogy ot be able to tell win to go fly a kite same as every one else in here lol [02:14] how do get citrix to work with firefox [02:14] Lil, you have the right attitude :) [02:14] mdg2 ne3ver herd of unetbootin [02:14] ah my driver is iwl3945 [02:15] mdg no im tryint to run ubuntu from the usb like it says im supposed to be able to do inteh docs [02:15] Did you get the link?..

[02:17] plus if i actualy get it al runnign i can do waht ive wanted to do for over ten years and tel you know who to go you know where [02:17] Lil, you certainly have the endurance :) [02:17] Shadow: sorry, i was busy in another channel - post again? [02:17] i like your attitude too [02:17] http://tinypic.com/r/1xgf7/6 [02:17] Lil: unetbootin is so easy, google unetbooting, click on the linux link, download, upzip, change permissions and you are set to try it to make a USB [02:17] my driver is iwl3945 [02:17] Shadow: you've got your partition mounted [02:17] google unetbootin [02:17] Lil, if you want to ditch windows, wipe the drive and install ubuntu over it, much simpler, and the UUID issue I'm telling about won't be an issue at all [02:17] not yer\been to bus here pluis i have to reboot since i do nto know how to get it=nto the thign while in xp [02:18] open a nautilus window and click the eject button next to something tat will proably say "347 GB Filesystem" [02:18] Lil: you running windows or linux right now?

[02:19] Lil: if you are running windows, just download the windows version [02:19] forget what i said about an eject button [02:19] codebrainz: looks like garmin_gps wasn't loaded (kernel module) [02:19] freedom: sorry i can't help you. i have to run to the store. just make sure to ask your question again every once in awhile (not too much though!) :) [02:20] DarwinSurvivor, so you just had to load the module manually? [02:20] codebrainz: yes [02:20] how can I have it load the module automatically at boot time? [02:20] ethola: there you go [02:20] i know how to do it in arch, just not ubuntu :P [02:20] yes [02:20] mdg want to exile windows but have to make sure this will work in linux frst to chickend to jsut dive in without knowing i have all the drivers etc [02:20] * demas http://wiki.ubuntu.com/demasterlikas [02:21] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo swapoff /dev/sdb6 [02:21] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [02:21] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo swapoff /dev/sdb6 [02:21] swapoff: /dev/sdb6: swapoff failed: Invalid argument [02:21] Shadow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:22] gah, it was in the blacklist file!!!! :( [02:22] Lil: so all you want to do is test ubuntu out? [02:22] DarwinSurvivor, hahaha, been there :) [02:22] Lil: which version of ubuntu you running? === FrankLv_ is now known as FrankLv [02:22] Lil, at the grub boot menu, highlight Ubuntu and press E key [02:22] codebrainz: if i remove it from blacklist, will it auto-load, or do i need to add a new entry for it as well? [02:23] DarwinSurvivor, it *should* load it automatically, try first, if not add it to /etc/modules [02:23] Were I can find system>preferences>"sessions", is not there anymore. [02:23] chogy no waht I want t to conver t every cottin picking computer in this house to linux, this situation is me seeing if i have the ovaries to get the job done and not lose my sanity in theprocess,,,,LOL [02:23] codebrainz: ok, will do, thank you very much [02:23] mdg 10,04 [02:23] Random832: I tried, first time it did nothing, second it said :swapoff: /dev/sdb6: swapoff failed: Invalid argument [02:23] have to rebboot , be back in abit with results [02:23] how is support for ati graphics cards in linux now adays? [02:24] Lil: if you want to get the USB setup the easiest, unetbootin [02:24] Lil, you won't have much luck if you don't get the rest of the instructions :) [02:24] I have checked alsamixer and tinkered with audacity and arecord.. yet when it records from line it sounds unamplified and no bass.. it at least records now. I can not find a stereo mix option though. anyone have any ideas? [02:24] hello guys, does anyone use Wubi? What about this file: c:\ubuntu\install\.fuse_hiddenXXXX? Can I safely remove it? [02:24] folks .. is there any way to convince networkmanager to leave wireless disabled unless I specifically turn it on? I switch it off whenever I'm on a wired network, but as soon as I come out of suspend it switches itself on again. [02:24] Hey guys - trying to run do-release-upgrade from behind an authenticating proxy - I have the proxy_http env variable set, but the update script always returns "No new release found" - I'm on 9.10 atm, trying to go to 10.04 [02:24] mdg2, Lil is installing TO a usb drive not FROM a usb drive (at least it's what I gather) [02:25] before i go, anyone use gmusicbrowser? [02:25] I don't really want to resort to using the killswitch on the laptop because I'd like to be able to leave bluetooth on, but that appears to be my only option at the moment [02:25] codebrainz: doesn't matter [02:25] i have a massive collection - but it seems to only filter and not allow playlists ? [02:25] codebrainz: you can install from a USB running a live CD to another USB [02:26] mdg2, she already did that [02:26] Random832: ? You there? [02:26] mdg2, you just blew my mind [02:26] codebrainz: oh [02:26] codebrainz: she is stuck at ???? [02:26] Shadow: the first time was good - close and reopen gparted === dkam_ is now known as dkam [02:26] Does an interface have to be plugged in to something to get an IP address even if it's configured to be static? [02:26] generally simple commands only print something if they fail [02:26] mdg2, but when she boots from usb it drops to a grub shell because - i think - the UUID is different from when it was installed [02:26] Hon can a play an .flv video file? [02:27] codebrainz: is lil leaving the USB plugged in? [02:27] queso: install VLC and drag and drop the file into a vlc window [02:27] 7 [02:28] mdg2, from what i gather it's meant to be a "portable" install directly onto the usb drive [02:28] k1: Tried that, it doesn't work. [02:28] does anyone know any good open source CRMs? [02:28] queso, likely corrupted then [02:28] What did I put after gparted? /div/sdb? [02:28] alex87, can't vouch for it... but maybe look at SugarCRM [02:28] ImaLamer, yeah, that seems to be a name that pops up a lot [02:29] codebrainz: meaning "persistence" i.e, remembers all programs installed, etc, on the USB flash drive or the USB harddrive? [02:29] alex87 - do you know what tech you want - ruby, java, php, etc? [02:29] aLeSD, i think it is *the* open CRM, a lot of fans [02:29] mdg2, meaning, take your typical install on a SATA disk, but replace the SATA disk with a USB disk [02:29] errr i mean alex87 [02:29] anyone know how to get citrix to work in ubuntu? [02:29] Random832: I put what after gparted again? sorry [02:29] I'm trying to troubleshoot a networking issue. I thought it was related to recent kernel upgrade but now it appears that the only reason I noticed it after the kernel upgrade is because that's the point at which I rebooted. The issue may be the result of accidentally removing needed packages. I get a "No DHCPOFFERS received" error. Can anyone help figure out what the issue is? [02:29] medined, we're primarily a php-mysql house, ruby is fine, preferably not java though [02:29] codebrainz: like a casper-rw setup? [02:29] medined, something relatively simple, we use redmine for issues [02:30] mdg2, no, like a real proper install on a usb drive [02:30] Shadow: /dev/sdb [02:30] alex87, Sugar runs on LAMP I believe [02:30] ImaLamer, just investigating it now, looks powerful, but may be overkill [02:30] codebrainz: so lil already made a bootable USB flash drive and she wants to install to the internal USB harddrive? [02:31] ColMustrd: wired or wireless? [02:31] mdg2, wired [02:31] ColMustrd: what do you get with "ifconfig" typed in a terminal? [02:31] mdg2, no, she installed from the Ubuntu CD to a plugged in external USB drive instead of the fixed internal drive (at least what i gather) [02:32] mdg2, on purpose of course [02:32] Random832: Ok...loading on the last part now, which is resizing all the way... [02:32] codebrainz: lol [02:32] alex87 - http://www.ajaxlines.com/ajax/stuff/article/top_ruby_cms.php [02:32] codebrainz: that can work. You have to rember to put the grub bootloader in the proper place under the 'advanced' button at the last dialog box. I recall. [02:32] mdg2, in terms of what? Looks like all the things you usually get except without an ipv5 ip address associated with eth0 [02:32] alex87 - i have heard good things about radiant [02:32] is there a way to make my webcam work for skype? [02:32] and follow the ruby theme [02:32] Shadow: this'll take some time - go make coffee [02:32] or w/e [02:32] medined, that site seems to be down, but i'll have a look into radiant [02:33] [if i understand you correctly that you've done the stuff in gparted and it's now resizing] [02:33] alex87 - it was slow to pull up ... but i did get the page. [02:33] Dr_Willis, yep, I've done it numerous times, but a user here was having issues with the kernel's root filesystem trying to mount UUID= one that was invalid, because UUIDs suck [02:33] actually growing it _should_ only take a few minutes... but it is 750GB so who knows [02:33] ColMustrd: you should be able to reinstall networking stuff from an ubuntu CD [02:33] medined, hmm... mine fails instantly [02:33] ColMustrd: in Synaptic, choose CD as the source [02:34] mdg2, wouldnt that require knowing what "stuff" I need? [02:34] codebrainz: so Lil does not want to unplug USB flash drive and try installing again?? [02:34] how great is that [02:34] erp, mispaste [02:34] or mis-keyboard [02:34] alex87 - yeah .. it's failing now. This is the google cache version - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:JoeFAJi8OpYJ:www.ajaxlines.com/ajax/stuff/article/top_ruby_cms.php+ruby+cms&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us [02:34] ColMustrd: what stuff didn't you want regarding networking? [02:34] ColMustrd: I was suggesting reinstalling network manager or whatever [02:35] mdg2, well, imo, ubuntu is just going to assign another invalid UUID and configure grub to use that, you need to edit /etc/default/grub and tell it not to use UUIDs to avoid the root of the problem [02:35] medined, ah, beautiful, thanks [02:35] mdg2, what is network manager? [02:35] alex87 - i work with ruby a lot .. good stuff. [02:35] mdg2, rather than using UUID for the root filesystem, using LABEL is much more portable imo [02:35] I had my ubuntu server randomly restarted nad now I'm getting some error about grub + Error 25 [02:35] medined, i haven't done much myself, but redmine has sold me on its abilities [02:35] ColMustrd: its Ubuntu's app for handling internet/network connections via wired, wireless, broadband connection [02:36] I've loaded up ubuntu on a disk and I have terminal open, I guess I need the mount the disk and redo the master boot config but I'm not where where to go from here [02:36] ideas? [02:36] codebrainz: I agree, but I think it may be too avanced for Lil at this point [02:36] Shadow832: 1. what if I prefer tea? Two...it is on the run simulation part, which seems to be last... [02:36] mdg2, i wholeheartedly agree with you on that [02:36] mdg2, but i always still try :) [02:37] codebrainz: I see it as a "wipe the slate clean" situation [02:37] !grub2 | anathematic [02:37] anathematic: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:37] Can anyone help me how to install OpenArena 0.8.5 patch ? http://openarena.ws/download.php?view.3 [02:37] mdg2, my concern is that the issue is going to keep happening because ubuntu uses the UUID naming stuff [02:38] codebrainz: had Lil run ubuntu at all? [02:38] thanks Dr_Willis [02:38] mdg2, it looks like that app requires a slew of libraries, many of them gui related. This is a headless server, I don't want all that stuff on here. === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:38] Dr_Willis: what if I'm not on that new version of Ubuntu? Use grub1? [02:38] ColMustrd: how long have you been using this headless server? [02:38] anathematic: grub1 is also documented at the wiki pages [02:39] !grub [02:39] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [02:39] mdg2, idk....a year and a half or so [02:39] mdg2, she's used linux afaik [02:39] Is it possible to tell ubuntu 10.04 which drivers to install for my printer? It keeps going online to attempt to find them, and I have them right there in my Downloads folder. [02:39] mooseburger: what files do you have? are they .debs ? [02:39] Dr_Willis, yes, they're .debs [02:40] ColMustrd: perhaps you can look in the log files for apt and see what it removed. Even though network manager is a GUI app, you can still use CLI commands [02:40] mooseburger: then install them? sudo dpkg -i foo.deb [02:40] Random238: It's done, should I just close it all now? [02:40] bye all. [02:41] #kubuntu [02:41] mdg2, yeah, I was trying that and gave up, I couldn't find anything that sounded network related to me. I am assuming that aptitude would not remove a lib that is required by some networking component, is that a good assumption? [02:41] oops [02:41] ColMustrd: not sure... [02:42] ColMustrd: you were upgrading the kernal? [02:42] Random832: It's done, should I save details or just close it all? [02:42] Shadow: you ran it, right? the checkmark button? [02:42] Yeah [02:42] yeah close it [02:42] Ikk [02:42] the details probably won't be anything interesting, unless there were errors, and you'd have mentioned that [02:42] ColMustrd, I upgraded the kernel today and when I rebooted is when this happened. But I think it's not related. I think the only reason it happened then was because it's the first time I had rebooted since doing whatever I did to mess things up [02:42] I didn't see any errors... [02:42] now make sure everything's unmounted, unplug the firewire, and run the installer again [02:43] Ok [02:43] Hey guys, I'm having a problem in ubuntu 10.04 [02:43] ColMustrd: Try "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" [02:43] I'm trying to install a USB attached printer [02:43] Rhythmbox question: I can't use CTRL+Click on multiple non-connected sections,any other options? [02:43] but all I can find is information on network printers [02:43] Finity: what kind of printer? [02:44] HP Photosmart C4240 [02:44] apparently the hlpip or w/e driver supports this printer [02:44] mdg2, I tried that. everything up to the dhcp attempt seems to work [02:44] Finity: is it plugged in? [02:44] Finity: you did install the hplip packages? [02:44] ColMustrd: firewall? [02:44] hplip - HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP) [02:45] it's back to dd where i can monitor progress [02:45] ColdFyre, are you sure you are getting DHCP requests? [02:45] at least gparted gave me the right partition size [02:45] but System->Administration->Printing only shows networking printer options :/ [02:45] :D [02:45] Random832: Should I just do the side by side again? Or should I specify partitions? [02:45] Hi, which util translates binary to digits, I forgot, need for generate wep key from /dev/random [02:45] ColMustrd, unless your dhcp server is misconfigured, maybe try reinstalling the dhcp packages (apt-get install --reinstall dhcp3-common dhcp3-client) [02:45] Dr_Willis: yeah, according to apt I have the latest version [02:45] Dr_Willis, that didn't do it, it still tries to search for drivers [02:46] Finity: if its plugged in and turned on, when you try to print do you get a printer icon? [02:46] Shadow: i think you can just do the side by side without trouble [02:46] mooseburger: You may want to check the forums and cups.org for your exact printer. there may be some pacakges in the repos you need to install [02:46] verify what it's doing before you commit [02:46] mdg2, I take that back, there are two other suspicious lines in the output of that. "send_packet: Network is unreachable" and "send_packet: please consult README file regarding broadcast address". The occur before it goes to the dhcp step though, not sure why its trying to reach a network yet at that stage [02:46] my ubuntu suddenyl doesn't show fonts nicely. chrome, terminal are showing types as bitmaps and gvim has much wider fonts now. how can I restore this? this system has dual languages setup [02:46] mdg2: it's not even in my list of printers as of yet [02:46] Why isn't my interface upping on boot? If I sudo ifup -a it configs no problem. But why doesn't it auto up? [02:46] I have a few printers already, that are network printers from work [02:46] I always find cups works better if i use itsx web interface to configure my printers --> http://localhost:631 [02:46] dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=32 2>/dev/null ���m֘2M_�)��\=7�V)s,}1����h [02:47] Random832: AH! NOW it is resizing the partion! It didn't last time... [02:47] ColMustrd: did you change router settings? [02:47] by all.. [02:47] Rhythmbox question: I can't use CTRL+Click on multiple non-connected sections,any other options? [02:47] SegFaultAX, is it configure in /etc/network/interfaces? [02:47] codebrainz: Of course. [02:47] where to pipe it? [02:47] Question. Does anyone else have problems clicking the play button on youtube when you have composite on? [02:48] Version of Samba installed is 2:3.4.7. Okay, fine. What's the 2: of the 3.4.7 portion mean? [02:48] mdg2, possibly. but nothing that would affect the ability to assign IP address. Every other device is able to get one. My laptop, my iphone, my Xbox 360, my pc [02:48] SegFaultAX, well, then the graphical ubuntu thing won't work with it, but it's not an issue if you don't care :) [02:48] Would closing the chat help the resize and stuff run faster? [02:48] my home alarm [02:49] Question. Does anyone else have problems clicking the play button on youtube when you have composite on? [02:49] Shadow, i think that's based on your disk [02:49] codebrainz: I'm command line only. Also, this is for a router. The net side configs no problem. It's the internal static ip interface that doesn't want to play ball. [02:49] It's staying at 0%... [02:49] how do i install a logitech webcam on ubuntu?? [02:49] socomm, do any buttons work, or just play buttons? [02:49] dziiki, it should "just work" when you plug it in [02:49] Shadow, may just be prepping [02:50] codebrainz: Actually, it ups, but it doesn't config. It's listed in ifconfig but with no ip or anything. [02:50] Is there supposed to be a URI for my local printer? [02:50] codebrainz: none, they work fine if I disable the composite [02:50] anyone know why my system suddenly starts using ugly bitmap fonts? [02:50] I upgraded to kde 4.4.5 and got serious problem, 参 [02:50] can I undo the apt-get process? [02:50] dziiki, can you see it in the program 'cheese' [02:50] ColMustrd: maybe check that your cable is all the way plugged in [02:50] how do I rebuild my grub menu? For some reason grub-config isn't registering as a valid command [02:50] ummmm [02:51] where would cheese be? [02:51] ImaLamer: Maybe... [02:51] socomm, maybe check this, see if it's your issue (it hit me): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407 [02:51] any of you fellas pretty solid with betaftpd? [02:51] dziiki, apt-get install cheese [02:51] atealtha, I had that problem recently with an add-on for firefox that I installed [02:51] dziiki, sudo apt-get install cheese [02:51] mdg2 bah. you know what? I'll just reinstall this weekend. no one uses the services that server provides during summer break anyway. I need an excuse for installing 10.04 LTS straight off the cd rather than upgrading from older releases. thanks anyway [02:51] atealtha, messed up my firefox fonts. removed the add on and it was fine [02:51] SegFaultAX, interesting. it's just a plain old hardwired nic? [02:51] Shadow, could be scanning and whatnot [02:51] plouffe: my font issue is system wide though: chrome and terminal [02:51] SegFaultAX: you are all CLI? [02:52] ....installing cheese. [02:52] gbear14275, update-grub [02:52] ImaLamer: Maybe, I'm going to give it a few to do something while I am not on the computer... [02:52] atealtha, ok I haven't had that [02:52] dziiki, that would be the real test - and would install anyting else ubuntu needs to run it likely [02:52] Oh snap, apparently there's an hp-setup command [02:52] \o/ [02:52] Shadow, go grab a beer, don't let the power go out! [02:53] dziiki, is it a "Quick Cam Express"? [02:53] yeyyy, cheese works (yes logi quickcam [02:53] hello, I have problems with my genius gpen f509 on ubuntu, the buttons of the pen doesnt work, everything works except that, any help??? [02:53] dziiki, then you should be good in most programs [02:54] dziiki, though cario-dock may cause problems (if you dont' use that, ignore me:) ) [02:54] codebrainz: all that just to watch youtube whilst using composite, lol, I'll just turn it off [02:54] codebrainz: Thanks! Now I noticed when removing some of my older linux headers that a couple errors sprung up (looked like lvm issues) but when I just ran that command I got no errors. Is there a log I could refer to, where those errors might have been captured? [02:54] socomm, yeah, it's pretty annoying eh? proprietary and open software don't mix well [02:55] gbear14275, it's pretty smart, it does auto-detection and whatnot, it probably didn't have errors [02:55] socomm: You can also browse youtube via Totem or html5. [02:55] well, i just installed zoneminder, but dont know how to open it [02:56] help with my graphic tablet please? [02:56] x3 [02:56] gbear14275, also, i'm not sure if/where it logs anything [02:56] codebrainz: ok, so it was probably just an error with removing the running linux headers? [02:56] Jordan_U: yeah, I saw that. but this particular video is embeded on a website. no biggie [02:56] dziiki, try ALT+F2 then type in zoneminder [02:56] Is there a synaptic install/remove log? I know I can view the details but are those details captured in a log somewhere? [02:56] socomm, are you in firefox? [02:56] lobito: what kind of tablet is it? [02:57] The resizing partition is staying at 0%? [02:57] nop [02:57] gbear14275, i'm not sure where the headers would come into this to be honest [02:57] gbear14275: in Synaptics history . [02:57] I forget which entry it is under [02:57] ImaLamer: yeah [02:57] oh, my turn to ask another question - how can i blacklist a package from being upgraded? [02:57] nope, but when I do zmc it asked for where my device is, so i do "zmc -d /dev/video0", and then nothing happens, nor error nothing [02:57] it is genius gpen f509, it is recognized by my sistem (ubuntu 9.10), but the buttons of the pen doesnt work, I have to click with the mouse so I can draw X( [02:57] ImaLamer: Could it have frozen? [02:57] gbear14275, /var/log/apt i think [02:58] Shadow, is the light solid or flashing? because it *has* been a while [02:58] lobito: oh, so you are using 9.10? [02:58] hey pplz! [02:58] ImaLamer: What light? [02:58] yeah, 9.10, 10.04 didnt work well on my laptop [02:58] dziiki, i'm not sure about that program [02:58] Shadow, your HD light on the PC [02:58] dziiki, i think zoneminder is web-based, so point your web browser at http://yourhostname:yourportnumber [02:59] ImaLamer: Uh...it looks solid ish...can't see that well, but more on the solid side [02:59] dziiki, something like http://localhost:8080 (not sure which port zoneminder uses) [02:59] k, thats what i was thinkin too.... [02:59] Shadow, then likely just working still [02:59] nothin [02:59] Shadow, you are 'moving' the windows partition? [03:00] Uhm...No [03:00] codebrainz: mdg2: Thanks guys... No record so I'll just watch for it next time if I see it [03:00] I just selected the side by side option on the install [03:00] wait, localchost:80 works..... [03:00] I'm having difficulty with network drivers in 10.04, so I'm trying to chroot within the livecd. is it possible to connect to internet within command line then? [03:00] I am surrounded by half crappy computer I built from parts people didn't want, and they are all running linux, but I half a few queries about the OS. [03:00] oh - so you are installing [03:00] ImaLamer: we figured out the problem was that the installer got confused by there being two hard drives [03:00] Yeah, It just vanished, I think it might have finished or something? [03:00] it says "It Works! this is the default webpage for the server. No content has been added yet" [03:00] so he's installing again [03:01] Shadow, oh - so broken indicator :) [03:01] Shadow: uh, you weren't watching it? what was thhe last thing it said on it [03:01] Shadow is sad because shadow can't use shadow as a username D: [03:01] It said 0% >> [03:01] dziiki, http://localhost/zm [03:01] then it just finished? [03:01] I guess the bar froze..but it seems to have finished [03:01] what stage was it on? [03:01] it's been a while since i did an install [03:01] Resizing partition [03:01] >< [03:01] I shall withhold my w00t for now [03:02] anyone wanna help me? [03:02] plz pm me. [03:02] xXEMO111Xx, just ask your question(s) [03:02] well, I may go into a long conversation. [03:03] Hi, how to generate weps using /dev/random ??? [03:03] or i gonna be hacked [03:04] aretrfre34, if you're using WEP, you're gonna get hacked anyway :) [03:04] I have tried and am currently installing 9.10, I love ubuntu, but in my opinion, 9.10 is an absolute fail. [03:04] aretrfre34, just punch the KB, key created :) [03:04] they took away mah 'GIMP'! [03:04] codebrainz:what use then? [03:05] and mah 'Four in a row game'! [03:05] aretrfre34, seriously, random is random is random [03:05] ImaLamer:the what? [03:05] :-( [03:05] aretrfre34, just punch the KB or find a website to generate a password [03:05] xXEMO111Xx, if you're displeased with the regular ubuntu, there are several options to still use ubuntu without using the regular (bloated) install [03:05] * ImaLamer likes it here [03:06] codebrainz, ? [03:06] ImaLamer:just say, I'm Lammer, sorry can't help, then [03:06] as I was upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04, seemingly just as it started the upgrade process, the screen slowly faded to black. I was unable to recover from this position, although I could see and move around the mouse cursor. Finally, after 15 minutes, and pushing of all sorts of key combinations, etc., I pushed the power button on the computer. After this I saw an error message, and then the comp [03:06] aretrfre34, WPA2 i think is kinda the current "good" [03:06] aretrfre34, really you just need a random set of character? faceroll the KB, no need to get more complex than that [03:07] aretrfre34: xxd -l 20 -g 0 -c 20 -ps /dev/urandom [03:07] the 'loading in progress' bars and screens in 9.10 are hurrendous, they look absolutly awfull compared to 9.04. [03:07] how do i exit sudo su? [03:07] froze completely and then I restarted it takes me to the command prompt, so I think something is wrong with the graphics device driver [03:07] I'm on to a new project.. looking for a video capture program that can take a usb input (hopefully my old adaptor will work).. what's available? [03:07] ridin, exit [03:07] xXEMO111Xx, you can install just the stuff you want using the alternate CD, or use something slimmer like xubuntu/xfce, the possibilities are endless [03:07] Aren't WPA2 keys 32 hexadecimal digits? or am I making that up? [03:07] Stormx2, 64 maybe? [03:08] xXEMO111Xx, there is very little in gnu/linux you can change, given the desire and time to do so [03:08] thanks ImaLamer [03:08] *can't [03:08] codebrainz, agreed, with enough time you can come up with HURD [03:08] ImaLamer, have you tried hurd? [03:08] been meaning to here [03:08] nope [03:09] codebrainz, maybe worth revisiting though :) [03:09] xXEMO111Xx, pretty much everything is customizable and most of it simple (at least with ubuntu) [03:09] is the ubuntu live cd capable of doing a repair upgrade install [03:09] wait... this works, why 'fix' it? [03:09] since it is already installed on the hard drive [03:10] ubuntubie, i think you want chroot.. and you get past me [03:10] ImaLamer, I'm still waist deep in Linux source code, not just I'm ready to open that jar of worms yet :) [03:11] codebrainz, take life a few million lines of code at a time, no need for more than you can handle :) [03:11] ubuntubie, so you hard powered off half way during the upgrade? [03:11] no [03:11] yea i did finally, after it completely froze [03:11] bbl, off to play wow - fun time here :) [03:11] ImaLamer, too much code, not enough time [03:12] codebrainz, appropriate nick :P [03:12] ubuntubie, upgrading from from one ubuntu version to another? [03:12] Help! I'm running ubuntu 10.4 on my acer aspire net book and when it goes into suspend mode it becomes non-responsive. [03:12] codebrainz, but the main problems for me are not its bloatedness, but the fact they taken out all the awesome stuff and replaced it with a load of crap., i mean, 'Glibber'?!? wtf!, 'pitivi' is one of the worst video editors I have seen in ubuntu, they took away 'GIMP'!!!, why the hell did that happen!, they took away over 1/3 of the awesomeness, and replaced it with a load of trivial crap!!! :-( [03:12] codebrainz, but the main problems for me are not its bloatedness, but the fact they taken out all the awesome stuff and replaced it with a load of crap., i mean, 'Glibber'?!? wtf!, 'pitivi' is one of the worst video editors I have seen in ubuntu, they took away 'GIMP'!!!, why the hell did that happen!, they took away over 1/3 of the awesomeness, and replaced it with a load of trivial crap!!! :-( [03:13] can anyone help me with mounting smb shares? i cant get read-write permission when auto-mounting with fstab [03:13] codebrainz: yes I was in that processs, from 9.10 to 10.04, when the screen faded out and then the computer became unresponsive [03:13] aretrfre34, cat /dev/urandom | strings | tr -d '\n' | head -c 63 [03:13] xXEMO111Xx, so remove glibber and pitivi and replace with GIMP and avidemux? [03:13] codebrainz: then I pushed the power button once, and I saw an error reported on-screen in a message-box, and then the comp completely froze, after which I hard-powered-down [03:14] Stormx2:Damn it, what i was looking for, exactly! [03:14] ubuntubie, yeesh, easiest/best route would prolly be to back up your home dir and re-install from scratch, but there might be a way to continue the upgrade that I'm not aware of [03:15] codebrainz: so basically, after that, I was able to boot up but it would only go into the command prompt, not the gui. So I figured I could \either try to fix the gui problem, which I think may be related to gfx drivers, or try some sort of repair upgrade install using a live cd [03:15] hello, I have ntfs-3g installed and can't mount my NTFS partitions on boot and they are readable however they are not writable, here is what I have in fstab, am I doing something wrong? /dev/sda2 /Windows ntfs umask=0222 0 0 === eddie is now known as Guest1184 [03:15] aretrfre34: No prob bro. :) [03:16] sorry, I meant I CAN mount my ntfs partitions [03:16] ubuntubie, so you have a proper shell? [03:16] Hi everyone. I am trying to figure out why after installing my copy of Ubuntu it didn't load the drivers for my wireless card. I have used it with Ubuntu before. How can I install the drivers manually or initialize it? [03:16] codebrainz: yes, apparently, right now I'm running off of a live-cd so I can use gui-irc [03:17] codebrainz: yes, I have a proper shell when I'm booting off of the hd I think [03:17] ubuntubie, you could try booting back from your install and running 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and see if it will resume from where it left off [03:17] zamarax, this can sometimes be caused by you shutting down windows improperl [03:17] y [03:17] codebrainz, 1. 'avidemux' fail on ubuntu, it never works properly on ubuntu, it actually hindred the operating system a few ties causing it to crash. 2. 'GIMP', are you crazy!, I don't have the internet to download and installl that!, do you know how big the file is!?, and how many .deb packages it takes, I pay £15 per 3000mb of my crappy internet connection!, I'm poor dude!. [03:17] #times# [03:18] xXEMO111Xx, sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gimp [03:18] codebrainz: okay, i'll try that command, hopefully the gfx problem will be taken care of during that process as well, thanks, [03:18] xXEMO111Xx, otherwise, install from a CD [03:18] Storm2 being that the volume is flagged as dirty? [03:18] does anyone know where I can download the gspca module? i'm trying to get my netbook camera to work [03:18] show me to the xubuntu room plz [03:19] leonardo, the xubuntu room is in #xubuntu [03:19] ubuntubie, if you don't like the choices conanical makes, you are absolutely free to use any other distro such as debian, but I'd recommend doing a custom install of ubuntu and tweaking it to your desires [03:19] *canonical [03:21] xXEMO111Xx, it's even simple enough to "remix" you own ubuntu distro/CD so that when you install you get stuff the way you want instead of the way someone else assumes you want it [03:21] codebrainz: i don't even have the ability to form an opinion on the later canonical releases, since I have yet to use anything past 7.10, that's where I started this long upgrade train today. It got to 9.10, and then all this happened. [03:21] ubuntubie, i wasn't impressed, but defaults are just that :) [03:22] zamarax: Yes. [03:22] 9.10 is an abomination!, it's almost like the comunity didn't give half a crap about how it was going to turn out!, it's like a file with most of the text taken out of it. [03:22] Everytime I start a video, no matter what application I use to play it, the screen goes black for a moment before it plays. Also, when I play a dvd the screen goes blank for a moment every time the chapter changes. Any help? [03:22] zamarax: Easiest way to fix it is to boot into windows and shut down. I've read that you sometimes need to do this twice [03:22] I see, ok I'll brb then [03:23] xXEMO111Xx, people are gonna complain if you outright trash it like that here. basically what the community wants and what the company pays for are two different things sometimes (not that often actually) [03:24] how can i find out who is in group 1009? [03:25] itai_michaelson, ls /etc/passwd | grep 1002 [03:25] err, 1009 [03:25] dsfy [03:25] 有人吗 [03:26] hey u guys [03:26] codebrainz, i get no output [03:26] !cn [03:26] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [03:26] Anyone have a good app to convert VOB's to AVI's ?? [03:26] itai_michaelson, probably no one is in that group :) [03:26] ayone here know hwo to use SSH? [03:27] ssh is so failing me right now [03:27] Does anyone know of a tool that can help organize, rename, and fix id3 tags in a large mp3 collection? [03:27] cannonfodder, in which way? [03:27] it doesnt like the syntax im using to try login to a friend computer [03:27] 我的终mmdh [03:27] GrazzMan, Handbrake might work [03:27] F4RR4R, MusicBrains Pickard [03:27] !cn | amwgpw [03:27] amwgpw: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [03:27] thxs [03:27] codebrainz: Thank you. [03:27] codebrainz im trying to ssh into a computer i try "ssh user@123.123.123.123:400" [03:27] basically those are fake numbers [03:28] i just want the syntax [03:28] im trying to ssh into an ip address at a certain port [03:28] i'm dual booting how do i make it see the windows partition? [03:28] cannonfodder, ssh -h [03:28] cannonfodder, try ssh -p 400 user@123.123.123.123 [03:28] amwgpw, 这里没有人会中文，请到 ubuntu-cn [03:28] ok hold on [03:28] cannonfodder, more importantly what test34 said :) [03:28] codebrainz, what are you talking about?, I love ubuntu, I use no other., but 9.10 makes me wanna cry and piss blood., it kinda works, but like I said, they murderd it by taking the good and awesome stuff out, and just throwing anything in., it's not even nearly as bad as microsucks winblows, but it hasn't turned into a proud strong operating system like everyone expects when they are a part of the community, like me. [03:28] thanks [03:28] working [03:29] i'm dual booting how do i make it see the windows partition? [03:29] xXEMO111Xx, it boils down to a matter of opinion, mine is often not in line with what the mainstream thinks [03:30] cdoublejj, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [03:30] cdoublejj_: usually did it automatically for me, sures its not in /mnt, or /media? [03:30] what do I do, just use 9.10 untill 11.04 comes out!?! [03:30] xXEMO111Xx, gimp in in 10.04.. [03:30] xXEMO111Xx: What's wrong with 9.10? [03:30] are there any reports of people having issues upgrading from karmic to lucid? [03:30] even then, will 11.04 rectify itself? [03:30] xXEMO111Xx, you have the choice to type sudo apt-get install gimp (or install from a local cd/repo) [03:31] xXEMO111Xx, volunteer and get 11 out the door with what you want :) [03:31] just cdrom and floppy then 2 copies with a zero at the end [03:31] Are you just whining that The GIMP was taken off the CD? [03:31] it just makes me so depressed, angry and disappointed. [03:31] xXEMO111Xx, i know you specifically meant not to, but you're gonna start a flame war [03:31] think he did though... [03:32] cdoublejj, follow the link i gave you [03:32] xXEMO111Xx, i hear you totally, there are decisions made i don't agree with, but it's FOSS, no one can take away your choice [03:32] ahh thank you for the link [03:32] k, handbrake currently does not support Ubuntu at this time... anyone else have a a thought? [03:32] if I do LSMOD how do I decifer what item is concurrent with what hardware? [03:32] GrazzMan, with what again? [03:32] VOB to AVI conversion [03:33] GrazzMan, you tried avidemux? [03:33] will give it a try [03:33] fbxxkl_: lspci -k [03:33] hey codebrainz i tried sshing into that computer....it worked somewhat then when i got to the part of entering password, it paused real long, closed the connection, and now i cant even get to the part where the other comp asks for a password ...every time now that i try ssh -p 364783 user@123.456.789.123 it doesnt work [03:33] GrazzMan, https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots try this if you like [03:34] it just says connection timed out after a long pause [03:34] Jordan_U: Thanks [03:34] fbxxkl_: You're welcome. [03:34] cannonfodder, is the remote computer still up? [03:34] cannonfodder: was that your login information? o.O [03:34] Stormx2: Thats a daily test (not even beta yet) build... have you tried it? or know that it works? [03:35] lol i woould never post my login info here ...yes the other comp is still up /./....ill ask person on other end to do "sudo /etc/init.c/ssh restart" === SlidingHorn|Away is now known as slidinghorn [03:35] They're SVN snapshots. I don't know - I don't use HandBrake. Sometimes SVN repos are relatively stable, sometimes not [03:35] cannonfodder, init.d that was to be my suggestion [03:35] hey guys i just bought a ByteCC USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA Adapter and I can hear that it has spinned up the hardrive but I am not sure how to mount it or what to do now? Does anyone have any experience doing this? [03:35] codebrainz, i try the ls /etc/passwd command but there is no output for anything, evcen for groups that i know exist when i look in system>admin>user/groups [03:35] i can read your mind [03:36] itai_michaelson, it will only show the users from that group id, if there aren't users in that group, it won't show anything [03:36] cannonfodder, heh [03:36] fuzzybunny69y, sure it's not auto-mounted? Check your places menu [03:37] fuzzybunny69y, it should be under the "Places" menu, no? [03:37] is there a linux program that would automatically replicated data from one drive to another? Like a raid drive mirror? It would not have to be realtime - even every 24 hours duplicate all changes from drive a to drive b [03:37] codebrainz "ssh -p 3454 noob123@76.168.34.45" btw this is fake info..but this the syntax im using...after i type that and hit enter nothing happens it doesnt show anythign happening [03:37] LinOOb, rsync [03:38] ok let me look that up [03:38] LinOOb, dd [03:38] just a connection timeout [03:38] it worked the very first time when u told me the syntax and then after that its liek the server crashed or something [03:38] i really dont know whats going on [03:38] cannonfodder, not sure, if it asked for the password before, i dunno, unless it's "offline" [03:38] dd and rsync ok - how about a Dell Optiplex 320 1.6 Celeron 1 gig ram - I want to use it as a file server/backup - is Ubuntu too heavy? [03:38] I have a wireless PCI card installed and it is showing up after lspci -k with drivers installed but I don't see it as a viable network device to use? anyone have any ideas? [03:38] LinOOb: rsync is a reliable copy/syncronising program, dd is a direct device reader/writer [03:39] strasnge [03:39] Text_looking up rsync now [03:39] cannonfodder, google for 'ssh known_hosts' and such, you might need to clear some junk out (not ssh expert) [03:39] does anyone know where I can download the gspca module? i'm trying to get my netbook camera to work [03:40] LinOOb, use ubuntu server edition, that machine will be perfect [03:40] LinOOb: either of them will do what you want, strictly, if you use them as a cron task (cron is a task scheduling service, installed by default) [03:40] Is Ubuntu Server GUI or text mode by default? [03:40] LinOOb: but you probably want rsync [03:41] LinOOb, rsync will be fast, dd will be "legally" sound lets say :) [03:41] Text, will rync run on UBU serer? [03:41] serve [03:41] server [03:41] LinOOb, by default, text-mode [03:41] Everytime I start a video, no matter what application I use to play it, the screen goes black for a moment before it plays. Also, when I play a dvd the screen goes blank for a moment every time the chapter changes. Any help? [03:41] ok - command line does not scare me - but I would like to get up and running quickly [03:42] codebrainz, can you help me with smb shares? [03:42] how can i change the reolution in xubuntu [03:42] LinOOb, for a server, maybe webmin, or I'm sure someone else here can suggest something far better [03:42] I've got an external HDD that is having mounting problems (it has three mount points 'drive', 'drive_' and 'drive__'). why does Ubuntu keep appending an underscore after the drive label? [03:43] Frijolie, it checks to see if one is used, if it is, it adds an underscore and tries again :) [03:43] Frijolie, When ubuntu automounts a drive it creates a folder in /media and mounts the drive is said folder. If it has an error and the drive isn't properly unmounted the folder is left there. When a new folder is created in the same place it must have a new name. Hence the _ [03:43] codebrainz, they are all the same drive [03:44] Frijolie, probably weren't cleanly unmounted [03:44] Frijolie, It [03:44] Frijolie, It's the folder that has a new name, not the drive. [03:44] itai_michaelson, ask the whole channel, i will try though [03:44] RSYNC: If I just going to dup from drive to drive on the same machine (at first) do I still need Rync [03:44] how do you correct this? [03:44] Rsync [03:44] ok [03:45] LinOOb, rsync can do remote connections but it does local copies as well. [03:45] i have applications which "map" to the drive location and it's annoying having to constantly update the pointers to the new location (drive_ +) [03:45] LinOOb, rsync (behind the scenes) is AMAZING, yes, it's best :) [03:45] LinOOb, I use rsync all the time to sync my music player :) (non-ipod) [03:45] Stormx2, no it isnt under places [03:45] whenever i mount smb share with places>network i get read/write permission , but if i automount it with fstab i get read-only, strangley this only apply to one share, all the other shares mount ok with fstab [03:45] Frijolie, The real question is "why is the drive being unmounted incorrectly" You could also create a manual mount point in /etc/fstab. The folder will never change [03:45] Frijolie, what kinda of drive again? [03:46] OK so for a newbie to get up and running quickly - OS and Rsync creating a file server - whats the "right" distro to load? [03:46] codebrainz, , no it isnt under places === Zeike is now known as brandonj [03:46] it's an external usb hard drive [03:47] I don't know how it's being "unmounted incorrectly". Well...the computer does go into hibernation after 2 hours but I"ve never ejected or unmounted it manually. Just leave it powered on and connected [03:47] i'm having trouble with my webcam on my netbook. it doesn't seem to be detected by ubuntu [03:47] Frijolie, That hibernation is almost definitely the problem ;) [03:47] when I resume from hibernation it's still mounted but sometimes I'll get errors saying that it can't find the path (so to speak) and will then notice that the mount point has changed by another underscore [03:48] Frijolie, try running the command 'mount' and see if the other mount points are listed there [03:48] Frijolie, It's being unmounted when the computer goes to hibernation but the folder isn't being removed. Then it remounts and has to create a new folder. [03:48] /dev/sdb1 on /media/WD_320GB__ type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) [03:49] that's the only think listed concerning this drive [03:49] Frijolie, i'm with edbian add it to /etc/fstab, worst case scenario all you need to do is mount -a [03:49] LinOOb, What's the right distro? Pretty much ever distro has Rsync and server software... [03:49] edbian, that makes sense [03:49] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows is for nfts drives my win os is win98se [03:49] Frijolie, You know how to edit /etc/fstab? [03:50] hello [03:50] edbian, sorta...is it safe to unmount, power down, and manually delete the entries in /media and then power it back on and hope for the best? [03:50] edbian, have you ever heard of a fstab gui, and if not, any ideas why (it's trivial to write)? [03:51] Frijolie, Yep. If you don't have anything mounted in a folder in /media right at that moment you can delete it. [03:51] Frijolie, run sudo umount /dev/sdX* and then it should be safe to delete those dirs [03:51] ok - Ubuntu Server coming in now and will use Rsync: thank you. [03:51] codebrainz, I've never heard of a project to make a gui for it. I agree it is trivial to write. Maybe that's the reason it hasn't been written? It's not "fun" enough [03:52] hi everyone. ;) [03:52] how do I apt-get useradd? [03:52] edbian, i started writing one once (pygtk) but i just gave up because it takes two seconds for me to just edit the fstab file :) [03:52] FSTAB Gui = Pysdm [03:52] acovrig, it should be available by default [03:53] I've been trying to get my wireless card to work for weeks now with zero luck.

Plus fstab lets you specify mount options [03:54] acovrig, sudo apt-get useradd, maybe? [03:54] does this website work? http://www.terrafugia.com/index.html [03:54] zenlunatic: I know, it was impled that I used sudo [03:54] acovrig, any executables in /usr/sbin or /sbin are root [03:54] LinOOb: it's because you have grub in MBR of win7's drive. [03:54] edbian, completely agree, as evidenced by the current issue at hand [03:54] i dont know what impled means [03:54] acovrig, sry didn't see that [03:54] C1nDy, does for me. Try to stay on topic htough [03:54] hello. anybody know of a straightforward way to autologin at boot-up, but still booting to the terminal instead of to xserver? [03:54] edbian thanks [03:54] hey everyone [03:54] guys, when a share is mount through places>network, where is it mounted to ? [03:54] ok im asked this in the xubuntu channel, but no one seems alive there. so im gonna ask it here, typing the question now, please wait for my question [03:55] Xray - how in the world can that happen? I have to run repair cd and type bootrex.ece /fixmbr to correct Win7 [03:55] codebrainz, Can you send me your pygtk code? How far did you get? === BPower_ is now known as BPower [03:55] edbian, not sure i have it, but with python, i could prolly whip something up in 10-20 minutes [03:55] suicidepills: thanks, but that doesn't work, and besides, it'd be `apt-get *install* useradd` [03:55] ok, I think we're back to original folder name--sans underscore(s) [03:55] acovrig, did you mess with roots $PATH? [03:56] codebrainz, Hah. I love python too [03:56] and the moral of the story is unmount prior to allowing my lappy to hibernate? [03:56] it seems that i was affected by the fglrx bug that makes my computer do the occasional freeze whenever im trying to play a game, i looked into the ubuntu forum about this bug, and tried the commands, but i cant seem to get it to work [03:56] zenlunatic: no, but it is a cmd-line minimalist install, so I don't think it is defaltly installed, idk why tho [03:56] my ati driver is raseon 200m, thinkpad r51e [03:56] I've been trying to get my wireless card to work for weeks now with zero luck.

[03:57] edbian, would that require scripting? I'm not h4x0r [03:57] Frijolie, It would. But scripting (especially something like this) is easy :) [03:58] LinOOb: type the nick as it is, please. In other case highlighting does not work. [03:58] edbian, is this a bug in the hibernation within Ubuntu or is it something that I'm doing wrong? [03:58] zenlunatic: never mind, I got disconected from screen, so I am not root, that makes sence now [03:58] hey can somebody help me, after I updated my computer from 9.10 to 10.04 I can only start in failsafe graphics mode [03:58] LinOOb: anyway, when you did install ubuntu, the first bootable drive was win7 drive. Therefore GRUB was installet there. [03:58] LinOOb: you can disconnect win7 drive and boot from ubuntu's cd or dvd [03:58] Frijolie, Bug in Ubuntu [03:59] LinOOb: as far as I remember it have some repair functions there [03:59] Frijolie, Hibernation is really hard to write apparently without the help / input of hardware vendors [03:59] when I tried to install Ubuntu - the windows 7 drive was out of the machine - I tried to load UBU on a new drive [03:59] hi guys, is there any software i could use to configure VRRP on my ethernet nics connected to different ISP ? [03:59] LinOOb: did you installed GRUB to MBR? [04:00] i'm having trouble with my webcam on my netbook. it doesn't seem to be detected by ubuntu. where should i start? [04:00] LinOOb: the second thing you should to heck is bootable flag of partitions. [04:00] edbian, I can understand that part. Maybe disconnect all /media prior to hibernation and "discover" again upon resume? [04:00] my printer is printing really faded, anykone knows if it's saving ink or if it's just wasting it? [04:00] how do I change my default editor (cmd-line) [04:00] edbian, i'm sure there's a lot more to it than that :P [04:00] LinOOb: sorry, to check. [04:00] Frijolie, Are you suggesting that is what the script should do or that is what the Ubuntu developers should have the system do? [04:00] Xray: Windows 7 working on drive-pull out drive - put in new drive - boot to live cd - try to install - install fails - remove new drive - put in windows 7 drive again - now win 7 wont boot - error about grub rescue - how in the world is that possible [04:00] LinOOb: not to "heck" XD [04:01] edbian, i was suggesting the kernel devs implement for me personally [04:01] LinOOb, The raid card has the bootloader and not the hdd [04:01] istevenmon: check this: http://siag.nu/pen/vrrpd-linux.shtml [04:01] LinOOb: okay, you really did GRUB installation. [04:01] Hey everyone. Complete newbie here. Apologies if this is completely ignorant, but I want to install software on my Ubuntu machine. I do not have internet on that machine, so I downloaded it from another computer and transferred it with a USB key. The file is a tar.gz and I have no idea how to install it. Can anyone help? [04:01] Frijolie, ha ha ha. That would be great wouldn't it? :) [04:01] edbian - I think you got it - I did recently enable raid [04:01] LinOOb: if the question is to boot win7, you should use fixboot and fixmbr [04:01] greezmunkey: thanks [04:02] LinOOb: and check bootable flag. [04:02] Frijolie, They're working on it I'm sure. Lots of people know that hibernation doesn't work right. It's a well known problem. The reason it sticks around is that it doesn't work in a different way for each person. For me everything worked fine except that I couldn't get out of hibernation! [04:02] I did fix win 7 my question is why is Grub loading to my raid I guess? By the way my raid drives are disconnected [04:02] LinOOb: it should be set to the win7's service partition (usually ~100 mb) [04:02] Wassim, much easier if you can find .deb files for ubuntu/debian rather than the source code [04:02] LinOOb: you grub was installed when you tried installation, that failed. [04:02] istevenmon: good luck with that, but I hope you don't think you will end up with twice the bandwidth, or anything like that. [04:02] Xray - IM lost - the Win 7 drive was never in the machine - it should have nothing to with linux [04:03] let me try and clarify - [04:03] edbian, yeah Ive heard bout many hibernation woes but I guess I've gotten off pretty easy if this was the only thing I've noticed. *buntu has come a long way since I've started so I don't have much to complain about. [04:03] when i put in the new drive - the machine wont even get far past post - I assumed it had something to with raid being enabled- drives setup and then drive removed without turing of raid [04:03] greezmunkey: no no, i understand the theory behind it [04:04] well - lets drop it for now - I am moving all data off raid - and removing all drives and disabling raid [04:04] Codebrainz: Interesting. Let me try to find ndiswrapper. [04:04] and trying again [04:04] Frijolie, The real power of linux is that you have the tools to fix the problem yourself. Like I said, there is almost definitely a script to solve that problem :) [04:04] Wassim: tar.gz is litterally a Gziped, tar-archive. aka a "tarball". its just an archive, and usually contains sourcecode, or loose files. [04:04] edbian - your saying grub somehow loads to raid in memory? the raid drives were disconnected during the attempted live cd install [04:04] istevenmon: cool, you may also check out xincom, they make purpose built internet failover equipment that is rather cheap, but effective. [04:04] Frijolie, edbian presumably something is going wrong/not normal, because it does work for most people i think [04:05] Is there any way to force ubuntu to start in low graphics mode by default? right now it just starts to a black screen and refuses to load further [04:05] codebrainz, edbian Truth be told I have only started noticing this since the upgrade to 10.04 [04:05] codebrainz, edbian didn't they drop HAL in Lucid for something else? [04:06] LinOOb: Can you connect all of the various drives and run this script http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ ? That should clear upt exactly what is where. [04:06] greezmunkey: i want to try to set all this up with a linux server. just want to make a proof of concept, not a production service [04:06] LinOOb, You have a card that handles all the harddrives and is the raid. That has the bootloader on it. That is what grub is installed on. [04:06] istevenmon: prove away! :) [04:07] Frijolie, They did drop HAL. I have no idea what they use now. That may be the source of the problem [04:07] Ok understood - now what? Do I need to do anything to clear that? I did a bootrec.exe fixmbr from the repair prompt to get Windows 7 boothed again [04:07] anybody know one good reason why I should not junk upstart? [04:08] greezmunkey: something i need help with is how to measure response times, when failure comes [04:08] un214, any good reason(s) to junk it? [04:08] fastest way to get rid of plymouth & mountall [04:09] [I have plenty good reasons to dump those two] [04:10] un214, what's the prob? concurrent fsck's on same disk or something? [04:10] well that was one of them [04:10] plymouth splash = loads bad hw drivers === antisivel is now known as sivel [04:11] plymouth is one minor bug away from crazy error states [04:11] hey all - does anyone how to increase /var/run ? [04:11] i have a server that only has 1mb of space on varrun - can't find any documntation [04:12] trying to unwire mountall from plymouth looks like a lost cause [04:12] jbAU: type 'mount' to find out what filesystem is on there [04:12] it's a tmpfs [04:12] anyone willing to help a xubuntu noob with a wine install? [04:12] though i can't find the mount in /etc/fstab [04:12] jbAU: you won't [04:12] it's automouted by bootscripts [04:12] right [04:12] i read that it's supposed to be half of what the ram is [04:13] tmpfs appears to be always full [04:13] Cmdrbubbles: sudo apt-get install wine [04:13] istevenmon: ok, If I may ask, why is the failover time (or length thereof) important, as long as the failover occurs? [04:13] jbAU: are you actually getting write errors, or just it's telling you in df there's no space [04:13] ive installed the wine program [04:13] un214, plymouth isn't tied to upstart though right? can't you ditch it and keep upstart? [04:13] samba is complaining unable to write to /var/run [04:13] codebrainz yeah that's right but the bootscripts still go [04:13] un214: my tmpfs reports 509MB available [04:13] jbAU: how much stuff do you have on there? [04:14] df /var/run [04:14] about 1g [04:14] ah [04:14] yes it is 1gig [04:14] [to at least tell if it's full or small] [04:14] then you have swap [04:14] and it's full? [04:14] greezmunkey: i want to compare results with CARP, so i need some statistics [04:14] server has 2gig of membeory [04:14] In ubuntu if I boot my monitor shows as Unknown, how would I go about fixing that? [04:14] my /var/run has 220kb of stuff on it [04:14] so, the real question is [04:14] what on earth is taking up so much space? [04:14] istevenmon: any active tcp/udp connections are going to fail when the failover completes because the public IP is going to change, i.e the source address that is. [04:14] un214, i've found upstart to be pretty seamless, from a couple basic installs, but it seems mostly backwards compatible, so I've not had to change myself at all [04:14] samba messages database [04:15] messages.tdb [04:15] that's how big? [04:15] 1gig [04:15] 1.2gig [04:15] codebrainz: it's backwards compatabile until you try to think about what /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit used to do [04:15] greezmunkey: there is no way to prevent this active connection to fail? [04:16] stop samba, delete the file, and restart samba [04:16] anybody compiled a broadcom wifi device driver on here? [04:16] what gets stored in messages.tdb? [04:17] wait... is messages.tdb really that lage? [04:17] samba messages apparently - it looks like a bug [04:17] du /var/run/..whatever../messages.tdb [04:17] shouldn't be that large normally [04:17] ls won't tell you how much space it's taking [04:18] istevenmon: I don't see that there could be one, think of it from the point of view of an extablished connection inside your lan to an Internet website...The website is busy sending responses to your current public IP, then wham, your system changes the public IP ( the source address) what are the existing connections to do other than fail? [04:18] yer it's def 1.2gig [04:18] i'll have to shut it down [04:18] [it's a database, i don't trust databases not to be sparse files] [04:18] ok, yeah [04:18] wow [04:19] I'm compiling a kernel with make-kpkg --initrd, but when I install the resulting .debs, the initrd is not installed or found in /boot. Any ideas [04:19] istevenmon: if you were to work out a MLPPP connection over two links to your isp, the bonded connection shares the same public (virtual) IP, hense a failure of either one would go undetected, a slowdown would be percievable, but it would keep working. [04:20] greezmunkey: hehehe i know, somehow i didnt think about it till now ^^, anyway i need to compare both protocols VRRP and CARP for system requirements, downtime, network flow, bonding [04:20] ?? [04:20] 还是英文的 [04:20] 汗 [04:20] istevenmon: neither one will work for bonding the way I understand it, I could be wrong. [04:21] anyone know how i can join an image + mp3 for youtube. i installed avidemux but it doesnt seem to be able to import either images or mp3's [04:21] Ubuntu one ftw [04:21] im a musician [04:22] I have installed wifi card, it is not working [04:23] greezmunkey: but i mean bonding for users in the network, one user goes out for a specific connection to one IP and other to the other pucblic IP? [04:23] sili_, tried mkinitramfs or update-iniramfs? [04:23] damian_-_: pitivi, openshot, and kino will do that. [04:23] ahh thank you [04:24] codebrainz: no, I'm a noob [04:24] istevenmon: vrrp will run on one circuit only, unless a failure is detected, then it will fail over - the way I see it. [04:24] urgent help needed to configure my broadband modem(wireless) in ubuntu 10.04 [04:24] sili_, then why are you recompiling the kernel? :) [04:24] codebrainz: cause the brightness button on my laptop won't work [04:24] windows XP is detecting my network, but ubuntu doesnt:-( [04:25] sili_, are you sure it's not just a couple acpi script you need? [04:25] greezmunkey: i thought these two protocols create a virtual ip address just like channel bonding MLPPP [04:25] istevenmon: you may be able to create a load sharing configuration though, that would work as you describe - [04:25] codebrainz: pretty sure. [04:25] sili_, what kind of laptop? [04:26] x201. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/584635 [04:26] I'm trying to apply the patch there [04:26] istevenmon: that would have to be arranged between you and your isp - most isp's will sell that service to you. Between you and two desparate isps is a non starter, don't waste your time. [04:27] greezmunkey: yeah [04:28] sili_, anyway, if you've already installed the new kernel, try 'update-initramfs' [04:28] istevenmon: If you want high availablity, check with your isp about installing a bonded connection. It will use mlppp, and will do what you want to do, and you get the benefit of greater bandwidth. [04:28] how can I make grub boot to a flash drive? [04:30] codebrainz: that seems to work. Reboot! [04:30] jrgp, same way as an internal drive :) [04:30] I have a boot error that doesn't really make sense. "The disk drive /media/sdc3 is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery." But there is no longer an sdc3. I deleted it and merged the space into sdc2. [04:31] jook, is it still in /etc/fstab? [04:31] jook, what about your fstab file? [04:31] I don't know what that means. [04:31] Everytime I start a video, no matter what application I use to play it, the screen goes black for a moment before it plays. Also, when I play a dvd the screen goes blank for a moment every time the chapter changes. Any help? [04:31] subone, and? [04:31] codebrainz: making sure the device exists in the devmap file and adding the entry to the menu.lst results in "disk not found" [04:32] subone: have you tried a differant dvd? [04:32] codebrainz_: fail :( [04:32] sili_, is there an initrd.img file in /boot though? [04:32] What's fstab, and how do I see what's up with it? [04:32] lspci showing wifi card, iwlist scan also shows some acess point but how to coonfigure it [04:32] codebrainz: yes, and I ran update-grub. [04:33] jrgp: The device.map is irrelevent in this case. Does your BIOS support USB? [04:33] I got an error about no /dev [04:33] sir plz help with my modem [04:33] sili_, how did you go about compiling the kernel? [04:33] Jordan_U: the operating system can see the device, but the bios is too old to be able to boot from it. This is why I want to use the existing grub installation on the HD to boot to the flash drive, which has a debian install on it [04:33] jook, I'm leaving after this. /etc/fstab lets you tell the system how to mount specific devices when they're connection. Here is a great tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [04:33] make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers --append-something=-custom [04:34] edbian: thjanks, I'll take a look [04:34] make-kpkg clean [04:34] fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers [04:34] sili_, did you use the vanilla kernel? or recompile your existing kernel? using your old configuration from ubnut? [04:35] *ubuntu [04:35] jrgp: grub legacy won't allow you to do that, it can only read from drives that the BIOS can read from. GRUB2 has native USB drivers, though for the best USB support you'd want to use the latest bzr version of grub2. [04:35] I used git to checkout ubuntu-lucid, then I applied that small one line patch to an intel driver [04:35] is there a specific channel for maverick tinkering, or is in here adequate? [04:35] bemis: #ubuntu+1 [04:35] Jordan_U: thanks [04:35] sili_, did you use the existing config file though? [04:35] jrgp: You're welcome. [04:35] Jordan_U, thanks [04:36] bemis: You're welcome. === Cain` is now known as Cain [04:36] can any1 help with my wireless modem [04:36] Jordan_U, merci beaucoups [04:37] codebrainz: hmm. Imma check. [04:37] need help with wine [04:37] codebrainz: This is what I used: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu. I'll start over from scratch [04:37] need help with broadband [04:37] codebrainz: what do you mean and? How do I stop the blanking? [04:37] hey....................... [04:37] codebrainz, if I just delete the line for sdc3 in fstab, will it solve the error? [04:38] sili_, if you copy over the config-blah file from your last kernel into your new kernel sources and run makemenu config with that (make oldconfig?) then it will use all those settings. [04:38] subone, it's your graphics card/monitor changing modes, it's normal [04:38] codebrainz: je vous en prie [04:38] codebrainz: cool. thanks [04:38] hey u hackers [04:39] cant u hear me [04:39] i am shoutin here [04:39] codebrainz: modes? No mode is changed though I stay at the same resolution, and why would it be normal to have blackness 20 times in the middle of watching a dvd? [04:39] greezmonkey, if I just delete the line about sdc3 in fstab, will that solve the error? [04:40] how can the gdm greeter them be changed [04:41] jook, what problem are you having? all in one line [04:41] +I [04:41] hanasaki, revert to a good gdm :) (no idea) [04:42] tucemiux I will paste what I said before: I have a boot error that doesn't really make sense. "The disk drive /media/sdc3 is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery." But there is no longer an sdc3. I deleted it and merged the space into sdc2. [04:42] sili_, Jordan_U, subone, jook I'm out. Happy canada day [04:42] :( [04:42] ciao codebrainz. thanks [04:42] Happy canada day? [04:42] is anyone around that has damn small linux or betaftpd experience? [04:42] im about to pull my hair out [04:43] Can anyone else help me with my screen blanking issue? [04:43] jook, removing sdc3 from fstab should solve that [04:44] thanks bemis. I'll give it a shot. [04:44] test [04:44] WebWalker: test successful? :) [04:45] jook, yes, you can delete the line in your fstab and it'll go away, you can test it right now, close all your file and then issue: sudo mount -a, you should get an error about a device not existing, delete the line from /etc/fstab, sudo mount -a, problem solved [04:45] Kyngdom: try #dsl [04:45] switch10_ what would you consider the best. any recommendations [04:45] thanks IdleOne [04:45] Kyngdom, try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:45] what is ubuntu linux version [04:45] i'm running compiz and emerald and for some reason my title bars disappeared so i can't move the windows. if i right click on the program on the bottom panel and click "move" i can't move it either [04:46] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/drivers/video/console/bitblit.c "explains" the function of the loadable kernel module »bitblit« as "BitBlitting Operation".

[04:50] mankash, what co you have currently? 8.10? [04:50] **do*** [04:50] how to check [04:50] mankash: run lsb_release -a [04:50] in temrinal [04:50] terminal* [04:51] yes it is 8.10 [04:52] mankash, if you want to upgrade to 10.04 you might as well do it cleanly from an ISO, you cant upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04 [04:52] so first I need to upgarde to 9.04 [04:52] mankash: that is correct then from 8.10 you will go to 9.04 [04:52] no prob [04:52] hi there [04:52] hows it going [04:52] mankash: like tucemiux said you can do a clean install of 10.04 [04:52] what is new in 10.04 [04:52] does debian latest use plymouth?

[04:53] well since ubuntu's plymouth caused my problem ... [04:53] hooray [04:53] un214: ok so how does that translate to debian and make it ontopic for this channel? [04:53] So I currently have OSX and Windows 7 install on my hardrive - I would like to add 10.04 in the mix, however it will not let me resize my Windows partition because it does not recognize it as ntfs. It will not let me mount it via cli or gui and gparted will out offer to remove the partition - not resize. [04:54] maybe somebody knows what happens if I mix repository sources [04:54] GTroy, you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:54] un214: it could possibly break more then it already is [04:54] is it possible to have a dhcp3 server on an ubuntu server at a central location (192.168.0.0), and have it give out ip addresses to clients connecting from a different subnet (10.100.0.0) through a site-to-site VPN at satellite offices ? [04:54] tucemiux: done, thanks [04:54] I was afraid of that [04:56] jef91, [ntfs-freespace][osx-nofreespace], if that is your set up you have to get rid of os, free up space from windows, then create an extended partition using the space [04:56] hello [04:57] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/drivers/video/console/bitblit.c "explains" the function of the loadable kernel module »bitblit« as "BitBlitting Operation".

Make sure you have nothing in sd4, delete it then create an extended partition, install lucid on the extended partition [05:02] greezmunkey: [05:02] checking now - thanks very much [05:02] jef91, create the extended partition then create a partition in the extended partition [05:02] TKO_Jay: it's easy, good luck :) [05:03] but why can't it see/mount the ntfs partition tucemiux? [05:03] Uhm...I'm not sure what my problem is here...I am using chrome, but it is the same in firefox...If I go on certain flash pages the whole flash is kind of squashed together, and cut off in places, despite there being plenty of room on the page...Is that something to do with my display settings that I can change? [05:03] TKO_Jay: one thing to remember, make sure your networking gear supports dhcp relay ;) [05:05] Shadow: Tell the certain websites to adapt to HTML5 already. Other than that, try updating your Flash to latest. I updated my Firefox to latest and it did whine about flash though. [05:05] jef91, [A][B][C] -- you can only resize C, you cannot delete space from A or B and create a new partition furthermore, if you already have 4 primary partitions that is it, you cant create more, you can have 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition, in the extended partitions you can have as many partitions as you want [05:05] red2kic I will check the flash page and see if I have the latest.. [05:06] i have filed bugs a week ago but still no response from devs [05:06] I under stand all of that tucemiux. [05:06] But why can't I read the ntfs partition data?...

[06:23] itai_michaelson: sudo chown root:root /path/to/file [06:23] Cmdrbubbles, an easy way to run a program with wine is to right click the file, run with wine ;) [06:23] panzer: You're welcome, did you get the file recovered? [06:23] mneptok, thanks [06:23] Jordan_U: yes. [06:23] itai_michaelson, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions#Octal_notation [06:23] abhi_nav: chmod does not change ownership [06:24] mnemon, it chane permission [06:24] error msg: the file is not marked as executable. if d/l from untrusted source may be dangerous [06:24] abhi_nav: yes it does. but it does not change ownership. [06:24] hi, I need some help with a string of I/O error messages upon reboot after installation of Ubuntu [06:24] Yo yo yo [06:24] after trying to run with wine [06:24] mnemon, hmm [06:24] the install succeeds but reboot hangs.... [06:25] Cmdrbubbles, what is the program you are trying to run? [06:25] abhi_nav: and you need to work on your tab-complete ;) [06:25] mneptok, :D [06:25] trying to install games from disc [06:25] what is wrong with ubuntu =(? [06:25] Cmdrbubbles: before trying to install them, you might want to esnure they wil actually work by consulting the WINE AppDB [06:25] sianhulo: imho, too many apps installed by default [06:25] ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B [06:26] wildbat: still going huh :( [06:26] not in the top 30 [06:26] hello... [06:26] the problem is about all the instalation [06:26] already looked but i didnt think that it only HAD 30 [06:26] Cmdrbubbles, what game?0 u can run stuff that isnt on the wine lists of running apps, but they prob wont work very well btw [06:26] ActionParsnip, :< seems no one have a clue >.< [06:26] Jordan_U, i can't find the result file [06:26] wildbat: did you log a bug [06:26] sim city box, Myst trilogy, fate [06:26] steve__ It should be in your home directory. [06:27] ActionParsnip, how? [06:27] Vin73: does the reboot happen ok when you use the installed system [06:27] cant run them on win 7 and my other compute is a $1800 paperweight [06:27] !bug > wildbat [06:27] wildbat, please see my private message [06:27] i cant acces to my apps,archives or configurations [06:27] Jordan_U, not there, what am i doing wrong, do i use sudo on it? [06:27] mneptok, what is maria project? [06:28] abhi_nav: http://mariadb.org [06:28] Cmdrbubbles: wine is a best effort so not all apps will run. You could try the wine repo to get a later build or try win1.2 [06:28] Cmdrbubbles, yah, those prob wont run even if u do get them 2 install, but check the wine site to see 1st, if so installation instructions may be there as well [06:28] ActionParsnip, but i ain't sure if a bug ~ should i log it anyway? [06:28] steve__: Yes, run "sudo bash ~/Downloads/boot_info_script055.sh" [06:28] sianhulo: is all that in the livecd? [06:28] wildbat: sure. I would [06:29] Jordan_U, i justdid it [06:29] no, i cant acces to they in ubuntu.and i cant acces to they live cd too [06:29] but my problem still exists of getting the file executable [06:29] Cmdrbubbles: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=142 [06:29] ActionParsnip, and there is no PID to pick ~ hmmm ~ [06:29] so i can find out [06:29] sianhulo: do you have web access? [06:29] Cmdrbubbles, i did manage to get some stuff 2 run by copying the installation to my hd 1st, idt u can change the file's mod w/o doin that anyhow [06:30] ActionParsnip: No, I am not able to boot into the installed system at all....I am not sure...nothing went wrong during installation...once I do a hard reboot after removing media, I get an empty screen [06:30] wildbat: it won't be against a pid, it'll be against the package (i'd log it against the kernel) [06:30] ActionParsnip, ok [06:30] ive tried loading from vista HD and install disc....get the same error either way [06:30] http://pastebin.com/QZZmpWDf [06:30] Vin73: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? Did you check the cd for defects? [06:30] web acces?do you refer to firefox or internet? [06:31] sianhulo: anything outside your lan. Can you access it? === intranut is now known as minux [06:31] ActionParsnip: I did the md5 test successfully...but did not check the CD for defects before installation... [06:31] Jordan_U, sda2 is the one i want to boot [06:31] Vin73: boot the cd. When you see the stickman press space. Its there [06:31] i can acces to firefox en ubuntu,but if i acces to it as superuser [06:31] in the live cd i can acces normaly [06:31] Vin73: i'd also test the ram just to cover all bases [06:32] ActionParsnip: OK...how to test the RAM? [06:32] Vin73: same screen [06:32] sda4 is a hodgepodge of fail, so don't even talk about that, i am just too lazy to format [06:32] ActionParsnip: OK..I will do this and get back...thanks [06:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 I try to do via this manual. [06:32] sianhulo: ok how do you connect? Wired or wireless? [06:33] •Now you need to edit the /etc/default/grub file to fit your system [06:33] $ nano /etc/default/grub [06:33] •When that is done you need to run update-grub to create the configuration file. If you have a separate /boot partition you need to mount it first! [06:33] $ update-grub [06:33] •To install GRUB 2 to the MBR, next you need to run grub-install /dev/sda [06:33] $ grub-install /dev/sda [06:33] •If you encounter any errors, try grub-install --recheck /dev/sda [06:33] Trader: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:33] i conect with lan,but the problem is the apps and /home partition [06:33] I was futzing around with my sound options today, getting w32codecs installed and now sound will only play out of my laptop speakers -- it won't play out of the headphone jack any more! How do I get sound to play out of the headphone jack again? [06:33] Where should I input update grub? [06:33] sianhulo, i cant help you much more [06:34] Does anyone not find it ironic how the bot creates 4 lines of output to react to a flood by a user? [06:34] I've got some programs compiled with gcc4.4 that need to use /lib/libgcc_s.so, and others compiled with gcc3.4 that need to use $HOME/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so, is there easy way to get my programs to automagically select the correct one? [06:34] ActionParsnip: lul yeah :D [06:34] never noticed [06:34] sianhulo: how is it the /home partition affecting web access? [06:34] Or am I doomed to always write a startup script for every program that needs to use the $HOME one? [06:34] In grab configuration file? [06:34] hello, i'm a new ubuntu user and can't get phpmyadmin to work. I've followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin, with no luck Any suggestions? [06:34] Trader: In a terminal window. [06:34] jordan_u http://pastebin.com/QZZmpWDf [06:35] the web acces don have problem,the problem is that i cant acces to my archives in ubuntu [06:35] I subscribe to a VPN/proxy service and am able to do remote forwarding on certain ports (5 ports, not of my choosing). Is there anyway I can setup a firewall to block all connections that aren't going through the VPN and still do remote port forwarding? [06:35] it problem appair after i install again ubuntu with my old /home [06:35] sianhulo: does your network interface get an ip. If you run: ifconfig ,you will see all interfaces and their info. Does yours have an ip address? [06:35] hi ActionParsnip [06:35] nfinch: what's the issue ? detail [06:35] steve__: That's odd, everything looks just fine. Maybe fixboot from a windows install CD would help but it shouldn't be needed. When was the last time / configuration that that windows install cuccessfully booted? [06:35] but ant the end this line: update: command not found(( [06:36] hey there [06:36] sianhulo, your uuid now is different from your old files [06:36] sianhulo: ahh. Ok. So are these archives on the /home partition? [06:36] Hi opij [06:36] Hey guys. Shotdown, moved my comp and now my sound is kapoot. Seeing a new error in /var/log/messages and don't know what to make of it. Log messages - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/A8ubVguY [06:36] my question seems to be unsolvable [06:36] lol, shutdown, not shotdown [06:36] i don't have install cd, only an upgrade cd for 98 to xp which doesnt do anything good [06:36] ActionParsnip, yes [06:37] DarkSector:I have no idea. The installation goes smoothly and doesn't throw up any errors, but when I try to visit localhost/phpmyadmin/ the browser finds nothing [06:37] steve__, how i can change uuid? [06:37] How do I get sound to come out of the headphone jack? [06:37] you adapt it to yourself [06:37] nfinch: ok, so have you created the shortcut ? [06:37] sianhulo: ok then you need to add the home partition in /etc/fstab and it will be mounted. You needed to add the partition to the setup when you reinstalled but marked it to NOT be formatted and it would be mounted for you appropriately [06:37] sianhulo, that is all i know tho [06:38] Jordan_U, i used xp about a week ago with the same grub, and it worked great, but i think freebsd booloader screwed it up somehow [06:38] or grub has the wrong command to open it [06:38] steve__: Just as a test, what happens when you try the entry "Windows NT/2000/XP (on /dev/sda1)"? [06:39] Opij: you can use iptables to only accept incoming connections on the vpn device and drop all others. I'm not conversant with iptables but it can be done [06:39] it boots the hp recovery partition [06:39] ActionParsnip, i only had formated "/" partition,but not /home partition [06:39] can't run commands thru it [06:39] steve__: But that successfully boots currently? [06:39] yes and no [06:40] ActionParsnip: do you have any tips for very easy guides on that subject? [06:40] the archives are there,but it's as if they were not [06:40] sianhulo: yes that is what you needed to do but you also needed to change the home partition, mark it as the filesystem it previously used and mark it to be used as /home but not formatted [06:40] DarkSector:I haven't no - it wasn't part of the guide. How do I do that? [06:40] !iptable | opij [06:40] nfinch: wait [06:40] !iptables | opij [06:40] opij: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [06:40] opij: that's all I know with iptables [06:40] i took it's free space away for my linux partitions, and now it can't really install too good [06:40] actionpasnip i did that [06:41] sianhulo: if you did it would be mounted now as it was before the reinstall [06:41] nfinch, ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin /var/www [06:41] steve__: But if it boots at all you may be able to modify its boot.ini to boot your real XP install. [06:41] but that's not happened like [06:41] sianhulo, put in the first few letters of someone's name on here and press tab, it usually fills it in [06:42] Jordan_U, it is only a wizard [06:42] sianhulo: you now need to manually edit /etc/fstab to add a line for /home. If someone has a seperate home partition the could give you the line. You will need to run: sudo blkid ,yours will be the only difference to that line [06:42] Jordan_U, a graphical one at that [06:43] sianhulo: if I was home I could give you mine but I'm on my phone outta town so no can do [06:43] sianhulo: I'm sure someone will give theirs if you ask ;) [06:44] sudo blkid said http://paste.ubuntu.com/457680/ [06:44] DarkSector:thanks for the help - I'm giving up for bed. I'm so exhausted that's probably a factor. Cheers [06:45] $ sudo umount /mnt [06:45] but terminal tell that it's busy. What should I unmount? [06:45] nfinch: o_0 [06:45] sianhulo, i meant uid [06:46] sianhulo, it is usually something like 1001 or 1000 [06:46] 1001 or 1000? binaries? [06:46] fstab and blkid agree(?) [06:47] sianhulo, no those are just the 2 most common uid numbers [06:47] fstab had uuid of blkid [06:47] the same [06:47] any data recovery tools you guys recommend for ubuntu? =\ [06:47] and i didnt change it [06:47] NICE!!! Ubuntu run successfully))) [06:47] uuid is way different than uid [06:48] then i am lost [06:48] X.X [06:49] can anyone help with SMB mounting problem? i cant get it to mount as read/write [06:49] anathematic, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [06:49] I have a file I'm unable to delete. Typing "rm gdkconfig.h" results in "rm: cannot remove `gdkconfig.h': Input/output error". The command "ls -l" results in "ls: cannot access gdkconfig.h: Input/output error. total 0 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? gdkconfig.h [06:49] " [06:49] sianhulo, me too, let's start over [06:49] thanks abhi_nav I'll check it out no [06:49] now even~ [06:49] hmm [06:49] Tried "shutdown -rF now" to force disk check on startup but it didn't fix the problem [06:50] Any ideas? [06:50] Hi [06:50] codeabit: ps -efjH | grep [06:51] Jordan_U, any ideas? [06:51] i dont how fix this T.T [06:51] ?? [06:51] I m facing issues with wired connection on ubuntu 10.04 [06:51] i dont konw [06:51] bryan 2596 2338 2595 2338 0 22:51 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto gdkconfig.h [06:51] forget it [06:51] file name in color red [06:51] it does not recognize my connection [06:51] codeabit: Hm, that doesn't help. [06:52] ooops, that was my command.. duh [06:52] is there anyone who can help plzzz!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:52] With? [06:52] codeabit: What were you doing with the file before trying to delete it? [06:52] codeabit: And where is the file located? [06:52] steve__: Other than modifying the boot.ini from sda1 to boot windows from sda2, no. [06:53] Is there anyone who can help Please!!! [06:53] can't i modify from sda3? [06:53] whats the problem waseem [06:53] i have installed nano, but i found no .nanorc in my ~/ [06:53] Well, actually, this is the result of a broken dependency in libgtk2.0-dev, when I went to check out the offending file, It's corrupt. [06:53] Nothing strange happened really, standard updating of packages. [06:53] hi scotty, i got full ubuntu installation last night [06:53] can i simply touch .nanorc, or must this file have special parms inside? [06:53] metacity appears to of frozen, is it possible to load it back up without restarting X [06:54] i cant acces to my archives on /home in ubuntu(just reinstalled) [06:54] but it is not recognizing my wired as well as wireless connection [06:54] stevecam yup, alt+f2, metacity --replace [06:54] talk in pm waseem [06:54] ok [06:54] curious...the latest ubuntu version has been out since the end of April, and yet some of the Gnome files are still from the 2.29 developmental version rather than the 2.30 production version [06:54] zelozelos that doesn't work either [06:55] rm [06:55] i must be superuser to acces to some application because it say i dont have space in the disk(its false) [06:55] steve__: Boot Ubuntu, mount /dev/sda1 and make a backup of its boot.ini, then mount /dev/sda2 and overwrite the boot.ini in sda1 with the boot.ini from sda2. [06:55] stevecam, that ws my best guess [06:55] thank you [06:55] CountDown: Thanks for your help. Any other ideas? [06:55] steve__: Then try booting from sda1 in the grub menu. [06:57] Jordan_U, the problem is that one is win pro and one is win home [06:57] ahoi [06:58] hi guys [06:58] steve__: Shouldn't matter. As far as I know there is no difference in ntldr between pro and home. [06:59] just wondering if anyone could help me im a n00b and need to get usb-modeswitch apparently [07:00] anyone cant help me? [07:01] Hi, i just installed an ubuntu lucid minimal system, how to add gnome to it ? aptitude install gnome ? or aptitude install ubuntu-desktop ? or else ? [07:01] sianhulo: use su, to become root [07:02] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/MjHKsVr9 [07:02] I think that this is not a good solution =( [07:03] Jordan_U, see the differences between the partition numbers? [07:03] is there an easy way to duplicate a file for backing up [07:03] i.e. cp /foo/bar /foo/bar~ [07:03] e [07:03] steve__: Yes. [07:04] Jordan_U, i am starting to think that grub is executing it wrong [07:04] I am not able to find solution to my wireless problem, I wanted to know, from where can I get Windows wireless driver. I want to download it using Win XP....Please help!! [07:04] waseem [07:04] steve__: That's not likely. [07:04] connect with a wire and do the hardware driver search [07:04] it will find the driver for your wificard [07:04] thats wot m trying to do brandon [07:05] well i dont get what you mean by using xp to download the windows driver [07:05] but its not recognizing my wired conn [07:05] thats not gonna do you any good in ubuntu [07:05] is there an existing utility that can do the same thing as "cp /foo/bar /foo/bar~"? [07:05] Cain: ubuntu-desktop should do it, you should check what it depends on though. it might pull in more than you want [07:05] the problem might be with your router then waseem_ [07:05] make sure your connection and your router are both set to DHCP mode [07:05] it worked great until freebsd loader, which gave same result, which looks like it didnt even use any commands [07:05] cuz otherwise, I'll just write a simple bash script for that [07:05] herman: What's wrong with using cp? What's your end goal? [07:06] well [07:06] i will die @·@ [07:06] it's pretty annoying to type a long directory name twice [07:06] sweetpi : thx, i try to not install the recommended packages until i need them (aptitude -R) [07:06] so I was thinking if there was an existing shortcut [07:06] herman, cut n paste dude [07:06] use your mouse [07:06] herman: cp /path/to/file{,-bak} [07:07] \ [07:07] Hello :) [07:07] Jordan: sorry, can you explain to me how the {,-bak} part works? [07:07] Yo yo yo [07:07] I assume the comma means to copy the contents of the previous arg? [07:07] yo dubble yo style [07:07] `xit [07:07] * sinistrad waves at ActionParsnip [07:08] * steve__ says yes [07:08] * ActionParsnip waves back =) [07:08] see i hv been using Win7 , & all was working fine.I did a full installation on ubuntu 10.04 on a new dell, now m left with no option to connect to internet, bcoz ubuntu is not recognizing my wired as well as wireless. And my conn is set to Auto DHCP mode [07:08] try restarting your router [07:08] then restarting ubuntu [07:09] sianhulo:i don't understand your problem [07:09] waseem_: use: sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product lines for guides. What Win7 does or doesn't do is of no value to you [07:09] msg Jordan_U what are expressions with curly braces '{' called?

[07:11] let me see [07:11] but i have, and i cant acces to my archives [07:11] sianhulo: if you run: mount ,does it show the partition mounted to /home? [07:12] yes its Broadcom [07:12] !broadcom | waseem_ [07:12] waseem_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [07:12] now what? [07:12] waseem_: don't confusse it with the wired which may be broadcom. The chip series is important [07:12] Jordan_U, i will now try it out [07:12] herman: Brace expansion. Another illustrative example would be: echo {"Hello ","Goobye "}world. [07:12] /dev/sda6 on /home type ext4 (rw) [07:13] waseem_: use the link above to set it up. You will need the install cd [07:13] sianhulo: cool, that's a good sign :) [07:13] Okay, thanks Jordan_U, I'll look them up, they seem useful. [07:13] ok, let me see...

[07:16] i need to convert ogv to avi or somethin [07:16] ActionParsnip: Unfortunately, no. I think you'd need to use an ugly eval for something like that.

[08:39] rapsli: you can check it out by clicking on system, administration, update-manager [08:39] has anybody come across a problem with autofs where it mounts the nfs share but you can not access it or see it in mount, doing mount -t nfs server:/share /path/to/share, works ?

[08:43] Slart: but it says in brackets (new installation) so I guess it's going to freshly install the header? [08:44] because I have 2.6.32.22 (I believe) [08:44] Jordan_U my goal to convert UTF-8 to ASCII as per the manual which i'm using [08:44] rapsli: it's probably because some other package needs them [08:44] rapsli: just let it install them [08:45] i'm deploying new language to zimbra , but the manual says must convert UTF-8 to ASCII [08:45] .... *nervous* ...

[14:03] judgen,OK [14:03] phanindra: edit>preferences [14:03] Why for sometimes when a nic releases the cable it resets the ip configurations ?

[14:04] I tried but there is no telugu font in the list [14:04] VP1: Well the method you are using is not the proper way of installing software in Ubuntu. You've chosen the harder method that will not give you automatic updates in the case of security updates nor will those packages be upgraded if you upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. If you follow the guide here everything should work fine as soon as you install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [14:04] Do you have the telugu font installed? Like, can you use it with OpenOffice or AbiWord? [14:04] I installes ttf-telugu-fonts, but still i couldnt write [14:04] Hey! [14:04] does anyone know if there's any update concerning the nforce2_smbus error that pops up on boot? (i think its linked to ION systems) [14:04] exploit100, otherwise it is sometimes possible to run voice applications for windows through wine. I used to use ventrilo and teamspeak that way a few months ago.

How can I go about diagnosing this problem? [14:06] TMac: I can read telugu in websites. I want to write it in an editor. [14:06] exploit100, just an FYI but the "push to talk" feature will not work in wine with Vent (this is a show stopper for many people) [14:06] @solow, I've tried a lot. Inkscape CLI can't do it. ImageMagick can't do it. Shady Windows freeware can't do it. [14:06] is there a way other than network service to set an IP address for a nic ? [14:06] TMac, So perhaps you should create it [14:07] @phanindra Sorry, but my knowledge has exhausted [14:07] achilles, static ip [14:07] Once again friends bluetooth isn't working. Plz help. Thx. [14:07] exploit100, separate protocols used for applications with large numbers of talkers, like conferances where you use push to speak, and can get speaking turns. [14:07] @solow Python modules for emf only support drawing, not conversion [14:07] TMac, one of those packages must be open source, take a shot. [14:07] TMac: Thans for trying [14:07] @phanindra no problem [14:07] ZykoticK9, I set static configuration but it keeps changing [14:07] VP1: It could be any number of things. [14:07] where does ubuntu create the loopdevices on startup? (on lucid).

[14:08] achilles, no idea then, good luck. [14:08] @solow Learning C to patch Inkscape seems a bit overkill. [14:08] ZykoticK9, thanks [14:08] @solow I mean C++ [14:09] achilles, you could set static the old fashioned way but it will prevent network manager from using the nic -- research the file /etc/network/interfaces [14:09] huanglong355, wich CAD application are you using? [14:09] I installes ttf-telugu-fonts, but still i couldnt write in any editor. Can any body help?? [14:09] xmu: "cd" ? [14:09] ZykoticK9, yes I want to stop the network manager, and leave it to interfaces way, how could I ? [14:10] phanindra, i doubt that ttffonts are used in grub.... [14:10] @ can you speak chinese?

[14:10] ZykoticK9, I have configurations in this file, and I want the only way of configuring interfaces, [14:11] anyone here [14:11] achilles, as soon as that file is controlling the NIC - Network Manager will give an error "Not Managed" [14:11] is there a way that i can connect 2 irc using empathy [14:11] ZykoticK9, yes this is the issue, I don't want Network manager to has any role of it [14:12] red2kic, the default directory of urxvt is ~/ ,, but the directory of urxvt started by the shortcut key is / [14:12] Pici: my net connection is very slow and it says that it will take many hours to install that way, pl help me correct with my current setup, maybe its not so good [14:12] how do i configure evolution for gmail [14:12] achilles, once you have the configuration correctly set up use interfaces, then Network Manager won't control the nic as you want! You're on the correct path :) [14:12] hello. i'm new [14:12] is it possible to downgrade the X server to 1.6? [14:13] @judgen what shall i install then? [14:13] frxstrem, do you mean downgrade?

[14:13] yes iceroot [14:13] phanindra, an fast reinstall of grub via aptitude should fix all dependencies though. [14:14] achilles, it should say "Not Managed" for the nic you are trying to configure with /etc/network/interfaces [14:14] Pici: pl help [14:14] exploit100, I have no idea. You can try the windows version though wine [14:14] ZykoticK9, it doesn't :) [14:14] Pici: my net connection is very slow and it says that it will take many hours to install that way, pl help me correct with my current setup, maybe its not so good [14:14] exploit100, it might work [14:14] achilles, could you pastebin your /etc/netowrk/interaces file?

[14:15] sergioar, ubottu isn't a real person - it's a bot - iceroot sent the message i believe [14:15] tripelb, have you ever written to a CD/DVD with this writer?

[14:16] hi! every time I restart an X session, the USA keyboard layout returns as default, even though i keep deleting it from "keyboard preferences". anyone know how to kill it for good? [14:16] judgen: an Nvidia GeForce2 GTS/Pro graphics card (an old model) [14:16] exploit100, yes, just install the languagepack for your country. and select it in the settings. Rather simple procedure. [14:16] ZykoticK9, http://pastebin.org/370238 [14:17] [14:17] frxstrem, i thought the opensource driver was faster in 3d than the old 76.* friver that supports the gf2.. [14:17] judgen: the problem is that 3d doesn't work properly with the open-source driver [14:17] Hi all. Can anyone tell me what does this message mean, that shows up almost every other line in my /var/log/daemon.log file? *** success resolving 'ns2.mozilla.org/A' (in 'mozilla.ORG'?) after reducing the advertised EDNS UDP packet size to 512 octets [14:18] judgen, anyway, what will be command to install the languagepack please?

I've been trying to log in so i can post a new mssage but my login info refuses to stick [14:18] i was able to log in yesterday [14:19] falcon55_: And you are also ok with google being in control of most anything in your computer. :p [14:19] achilles, I COULD BE WRONG but i don't think you should have "auto eth0", "auto eth1" and "auto eth2" as this says to use DHCP on those interfaces. I don't even know what "auto eth1:1" with x.x.x.x for IP address is! === sk_ is now known as skar [14:19] i wud love 2 use google apps [14:19] exploit100, just search for your language's name in synaptic. Then install the language packs. [14:19] ZykoticK9, auto doesn't mean dhcp, I think it means auto configure [14:19] what is the equivalent on iptables for --to-destination? i get this on karmic server : iptables v1.4.4: unknown option `--to-destination' [14:20] achilles, doesn't that mean dhcp! [14:20] frxstrem, are you using nv or noveau= [14:20] ? [14:20] ZykoticK9, static is the keyword for not dhcp [14:20] ZykoticK9: achilles: what you have is ok. That auto eth1:1 ip.addr.here mans that eth1 has a second ip address appart from the normal one. [14:20] judgen: I have no idea -.- [14:20] Night_Elf, why isn't the file working for static ip addresses then? [14:20] can anybody help me,my laptop speakers are not working, but sound with head phone is working [14:20] judgen, OK , thanks [14:21] Night_Elf, yes virtual interface [14:22] guys, the config was working when I used ubuntu-server, I copied the same config to xubuntu box to act as a server [14:22] achilles, looks like Night_Elf might be more knowledgeable then me :) Good luck guy, gotta go. Happy Canada Day to any Canucks out there! [14:23] ZykoticK9, thank you! happy day [14:23] Night_Elf, The network manager keeps reseting the configuration at anytime there is a phyiscal disconnection of the cable [14:24] frxstrem, nvidia-96 is in the repositories, and thus should work fine with the new xserver. [14:25] frxstrem, you might have to alter your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use "nvidia" instead of falling back to the default. [14:26] judgen: I have already installed it, Ubuntu says in the "Hardware Drivers" dialog that it has been enabled, but nvidia-settings says that it isn't enabled [14:26] judgen: I do not have a xorg.conf file, although I have tried to configure one automatically using nvidia-xconfig (which just crashed X when I restarted it -.-) [14:27] frxstrem, does the hardware driver dialogue tell you if you have a new version of the drivers or the 96 version? [14:27] judgen: it says "version 96" [14:27] guys i would like to install my ubuntu on an XFS filesystem and i was wondering, how do i make the switch? is there an option on installation or do i have to do it some other way? thnx :) [14:27] frxstrem, ok gimme a minute, ill see if i can find something on my other computer. [14:28] master_, remember to use lilo instead of grub or your system wont boot. [14:28] achilles: yes the network manager does that everytime. I would think in this case to use the network manager itself to add a second ip in the interface if you need to do that. [14:29] thx judgen! :) === gordon is now known as Guest2507 [14:29] frxstrem, Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0. Is that what you get? [14:30] wait a sec, I'll check it [14:30] Night_Elf, I see, then there is no way to cancel network manager, right ? [14:32] achilles: there should be one. But i can't be sure how [14:32] Night_Elf, thank you then [14:32] Hello, test of connection [14:32] hi peter1961 [14:32] I can't have X connection to this server only ssh [14:33] thanks [14:33] My /usr/bin/crontab looks very, very ugly.

[14:33] hi [14:34] problem: Running ubuntu on my Dell n series mini, on the second last update I lost access to my audio devices, any ideas?

[14:37] frxstrem, if you run a cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 in a terminal.. what does that tell you? [14:37] KnitGal, you should try #ubuntuforums [14:37] judgen: 'cat: /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0: No such file or directory' [14:38] frxstrem, ok then we know the problem. *You are not using the nvidia driver. You are using nv at hte moment.

[14:42] ubuntu 10.04 [14:43] Basically I have and I've set the nameservers to ns1. & ns2. [14:43] In godaddy I edited the nameserver host summary(godaddy) to point to my plesk server. [14:43] I followed a guide in setting up plesk DNS but for some reason the domain doesn't seem to be resolving properly. [14:43] It's been 2-3 days now and it's timing out with a DNS error :( [14:43] I'm hoping that I at least setup the nameserver part correctly so I don't need to wait for it to resolve again(and rather just update the plesk DNS configuration).

When the file is encrypted, obviously the original exists, so I deleted it. How does the decryption actually work? Does it re-create the original file each time you decrypt it? [14:55] Hi everyone!

[14:57] welcome: Its availabe in Ubuntu Software center, but it is not installed by default. [14:57] welcome, not by default you can install it however [14:57] aha thxs :D [14:57] ahh [14:57] abhi_nav, me? yes, 8.04 === gb_ is now known as Guest17055 === Guest17055 is now known as GaMeBoY [14:58] I wish if i could get such help when i ask question about webcam :( [14:58] i see thxs i will install it [14:58] cdubya: gpg uses keys for encryption/decryption, passwords are not used for that [14:58] how do I make a script? [14:58] cdubya: yep. As far as I know there's no way to change the contents of the encrypted file "in place" - it has to be fully decrypted, changed then re-encrypted.

[14:59] how can i modify my fan speed with fancontrol ? [14:59] cdubya: the pass phrase only protects the key file. the key file is the thing that is used for encryption/decryption, not the password [15:00] xerox1, why cant you use newer versions? [15:00] *Q* update manager has a new kernel available, 2.6.32-23. Where are the release notes kept? I would like to know what was changed.

Then finally do a chmod a+x scriptname [15:00] don't ask me, that's not my system, just trying to help the poor man [15:00] how to update menu.lst with latest kernel.

[15:02] abhi_nav, he is poor because his system does not run anymore... [15:02] preetam, it is moved to /boot/grub/grub.cfg [15:02] preetam, if not, then it is done automatically but there is no longer a menu.lst check the grub2 wiki [15:02] !grub2 | preetam [15:02] preetam: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

(bad expericenes on my part) [15:04] preetam, then it is done automatically [15:04] judgen, you never edit that directly [15:05] hi guys, where I can find shotwell support? [15:05] bazhang, yes i do, its alot quicker to change default boot partitions and other. [15:05] judgen, it is explicitly stated in the grub2 wiki NEVER to edit that directly === Luke is now known as Guest63556 [15:05] no it is not done automatically and sudo update-grub also not working and my 10.04 is subsequent upgrade from 8.04 [15:06] anyone have any idea why the following command would hang on ubuntu 10.04.... sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive mysql-server-5.1 === Guest63556 is now known as __Luke__ [15:06] bazhang, it is the same file almost... same content a bit down as in grub1 and just as easy to edit [15:06] preetam: do you have grub2 or grub legacy? [15:06] Hello :), can any of you make out what this is suppose to mean ?: "to see the mixer devices I have to restart in this order udev and hal" [15:06] bye [15:06] It seems to indicate rebooting with a different config I think. [15:07] i think i have grub legacy but how to confirm [15:07] I found that comment on the net in context of a program failing to detect the mixer device. [15:07] cvoicecontrol [15:07] preetam: dpkg -l 'grub*' | grep ^ii [15:07] preetam, you were asked if you wanted to keep the original or use the maintainers version upon upgrade, which one did you choose? [15:07] judgen> okay so I made the script but, chmod...? (Im a newbie) [15:08] i think i choose keep local version [15:08] then you have grub legacy if so [15:09] cyborgsmurf, just type in the same location in the terminal "chmod a+x thenameofthescriptfile" [15:09] cyborgsmurf, then it is runnable [15:09] synergy does not want to play along. I have permanent issues with it but usually I can "repair" it by restarting syngery (i am using quicksynergy). The newest bug is, after I move the mouse to the other screen and back, I cannot enter text anymore, because gedit and nautilus select text, when I use the cursor keys, somehow it hangs. It might have to do with charset stuff.

I have other storage devices I use to save files to but don't boot any os from. I use ntfs because I would like them to be readable to windows. But I don't want to switch to windows every time I think it needs to be defragmented. Is it still a bad idea to defragment these devices while in linux if it's not defragmenting a bootable partition?

[15:32] can anyone suggest me any good video convertion tool for ubuntu.( i hv to use the video with ipod touch) [15:32] chanti: I think the one you might be looking for is called "PWM" or something; I've had similar issues in the past. It's also possible that you could need some kind of special drivers for your speakers, I can't say for certain [15:32] nsd_: i checked that, sound with head phones is working. but inbuilt speakers are not working [15:32] obscurant1st: the name "handbrake" comes to mind, though I've never tried it [15:33] chanti: sorry, I don't know enough to help [15:33] thanks for the help [15:33] nsd: in /etc/default/grub edit this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and remove splash. then save exit and do a sudo update-grub [15:33] bastid_raZor: thanks [15:33] nsd, i hv tried handbreak, its good some times, but sometimes, it stops the convertion in the middle of nowhere.!

[15:33] nsd_: glad to help. === ChSR[wrk] is now known as ChEaSeR [15:34] Hello, can anyone please help me out in ensuring that I've setup the DNS & Nameservers properly on my goddady & plesk setup?

[15:39] Cambada === jumbers_ is now known as jumbers [15:40] Pici> I need to make a script to run with a game called System Shock 2 [15:40] slipp3d: It looks like you're probably booting from /dev/sdb. If you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and select both sda and sdb as install devices (but *not* any partitions) then it should fix the problem and make sure that upgrades go smoothly in the future. [15:40] cyborgsmurf: Okay? What problem are you having with that? [15:41] thx bazhang and kesroesweyth [15:42] Jordan_U, well i'll let you know in a sec [15:42] Pici> well, everything runs perfectly, graphics, sound and everything. But, when pressing a key to walk or strafe or jump, it repeats that keypress forever and after that it accepts no more inputs, besides the mouse [15:42] cyborgsmurf: I mean, what problem are you having that prevents you from creating that script? [15:43] Pici> I dont know how it works [15:44] anyone have a link to a tutorial for a pxe boot of karmic? I'd like to get it booting without having to completely rebuild my pxe server [15:44] what is the url for copy and paste my code for you to see [15:44] cyborgsmurf: Put those lines in a text file.

[15:44] boing: http://paste.ubuntu.com [15:45] Pici, THANKS [15:45] Pici> you mean any text file? === SleepingF is now known as TannerF [15:46] Pici> and then (I put it in a OpenOfficeTextFile) [15:46] output from terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/457860/ [15:47] cyborgsmurf: Not using openoffice, use a text editor, like gedit. [15:47] cyborgsmurf: Yes. And save the text file somewhere you remember. Then open a terminal, run: chmod +x /path/to/where/you/saved/the/file then you should be able to double-click that file and it will ask you if you want to run it, say yes. [15:48] whats a good application for recording from line in or your mic to mp3? sound recorder only shows .flac .ogg and .wav [15:49] hi [15:49] if I simply copy lampp to /opt, is it as good as installing it? [15:49] Talon_: you can transcode from flac or wav to mp3. those are the lossless formats, which generally are how youd want the initial recording to be, that way you can transcode to your preferred level of quality for mp3 [15:49] Jordan_U, thanks that fixed me up ... I will have to put that on my wall of commands to remember [15:50] slipp3d: You're welcome. === fernando is now known as Guest1185 [15:50] can lucid desktop be configured to boot to a text logon rather than the gui?

Still, thanks for your help, friend, :) [15:57] i have set a gre tunnel link with a cisco, how can i test it is working correctly?

[16:37] nsd, I believe if you updated from an older version it left the old grub installed. I'm not sure when that changes. If the old version isn't causing you any problems I don't suggest you mess with it unless you really want to. [16:38] abhi_nav: what is the sequence ? [16:38] nixbox, I dunno, maybe there are some patches that add some strange filesystem features? [16:38] b33r: something is spamming it. zero it. and then tailf it so you can see what's going on [16:38] abhi_nav: i installed them and it appeared. it just didn't work [16:38] Tanvir, when you try to install one file then it gives error that 'some' file is missing. so go to that file. if that install then ok if not then that file wll also give erorr then go tonext file like that [16:38] erUSUL, what do you mean zero it? can I delete it? [16:39] abhi_nav: can i send u the error message? [16:39] b33r: in a terminal « echo -n "" > ~/.xsession-errors && tailf ~/.xsession-errors » [16:39] abhi_nav: here..

[16:41] Pici, can you help geting vlc .deb for Tanvir ? [16:42] Tanvir, in that case its not me. [16:42] nsd, Then grab grub 2 from the package?

[18:51] Pici, yah [18:51] I have a compaq r4000 with an ATI radeon 200M Xpress card. The card worked fine in ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 and didn't work well in anything releases beyond. I know this is because ubuntu stopped supporting older cards but my question is that if I install 8.10 on my laptop then upgrade to 9.04 will the card still operate properly or will I lose it's full functioning? [18:52] Argh.. I am giving scripts! They are wonderful.. [18:52] What's wrong with people [18:52] Pici, yes. [18:54] can anyone tell me how to do "Remote Port Forwarding" in any ubuntu firewall? [18:54] !iptables [18:54] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [18:55] No one wants to answer my question? :-( [18:55] They would if they knew [18:55] evon: an upgrade and a fresh install should be nearly the same [18:55] evon: chances are it would not work after you upgrade [18:56] Hi, I'm installing Edubuntu on an older server that has an extremely old install of Fedora Core 6 on it. I'd like to dual-boot until I'm sure everything is working properly, but the Edubuntu installer reports "no operating systems found on this hard drive". Anyone know what I might be able to do to fix this? [18:56] can anyone help me to configure NIS in ubuntu? i mounted the remote home and service is running, /etc/defaultdomain is correct and /etc/yp.conf has the right conf also... (same of a machine that already has a working NIS) what else am i missing? [18:56] erusul idleone, am i to assume that there is still no support for old AIT cards [18:56] erUSUL: I can't seem to find any information on remote port forwarding [18:56] evon: why not install latest ubuntu and try tro make the card work ? it may not out of the box but it should with the radeon drivers? [18:56] is there any way to rebuild passwords that are store in keyring in eclipse? [18:57] evon: old ati cards are driven with radeon free driver. [18:57] Hey guys can someone help me get my wifi/bluetooth pci card working in ubuntu? [18:57] Purpley: what card it is ? [18:57] erUSUL, Thats the problem, I don't know lspci provides no insight it gives "07:06.0 Ethernet controller: Device 1a47:0003 [18:57] " [18:57] erusul, i've had bad experiences with trying to do that in past. and the free driver in my experience havn't brought out the fill abilities of the card compared to hardy heron [18:58] Purpley: sudo update-pciids [18:58] And its weird, normally id use ndiswrapper for the wifi but there is no .ini file [18:58] erUSUL: I appreciate the link you gave me, but unfortunately it doesn't have the information I need. [18:58] Uhm...I originally have windows XP SP3 on this machine and I installed ubuntu with the "Side by side" with windows option, and it repartitioned things...I have ubuntu working fine, but if I try and go into windows I get a flashing _... [18:58] Its just a program in windows no wireless stuff just a program you run and tada windows can use it [18:59] opij: /join #netfilter [18:59] erUSUL, I downloaded it [18:59] Purpley: run lspci again [18:59] Same thing [18:59] :( [18:59] too new [18:59] I have tried bootfix, chkdsk, and chkdsk /r in the windows recovery command thing, and I tried the repair option in install windows...it said it was going to reboot and continue installation or something, but after it rebooted it didn't get anywhere.. [18:59] The cd has a tar file in it but my computer is acting stange [19:00] When I try to run it, vista locks up and ubuntu wont recognize it [19:00] And why does my window jump back and forth when I get near the end of the line on the text box?! >< [19:00] On another computer I managed to get the winxp and vista driver but when I try to rip the tar it gives an error [19:00] Anyone know why Edubuntu installer would tell me it can't find the other OS even though that OS boots normally [19:00] ?

I hate ftp servers that are located 1000s of miles away from me :( 10.5kb/sec aww yeah [19:07] guntbert, it works :D [19:07] fearful, I think you need to authenticate that particular software you installed. on this page there is instructions for authenticating keys: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [19:07] servietsky: fine :-) [19:08] abhi_nav, so it is because of the Keys? I was thinking it could be. [19:08] fearful, under 'Authentication Tab' section. yes it in first seems to be related to keys [19:08] guntbert, I just had to run sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" [19:09] guntbert, it's ok for me, but is there something a non-geek can do to activate this ? [19:09] Hello [19:10] Is it possible to use Kopete in Ubuntu 10.04 without messing up the GNOME install?

[19:10] does anyone know of websockets are supported in the chrome dev build on ubuntu? [19:10] now, I have another problem [19:11] can anyone help me to configure NIS in ubuntu? i mounted the remote home and service is running, /etc/defaultdomain is correct and /etc/yp.conf has the right conf also... (same of a machine that already has a working NIS) what else am i missing? [19:11] abhi_nav: ok, thanks. i was worried that the KDE runtime libs QT will mess up the GNOME gtk stuff [19:12] DrGrov, no it wll never. you can (as per I know) any kde software in gnome ubuntu. i tryeid some of them kopoete, quanta plus, koffice suit etc [19:12] to access the internet via an ADSL modem with login and password, I have to use pppoeconf because the default tool in ubuntu lucid lynx doesn't work anymore, how to debug it ? [19:13] abhi_nav, do you mind if Paste bin my sources.list and my apt-get update I can't find the keys matching [19:13] ahh? [19:13] abhi_nav: ok, i just want kopete from there but not the whole full kde 4. thanks for your help. i will install kopete now and give it a test and see whether it is better than pidgin.

[19:14] DrGrov, sure. :) [19:14] abhi_nav, yes it was I just can't seem to find where its looking for keys that are not in my sources.list [19:14] abhi_nav: there is a lot of kde stuff being installed. no worries? [19:14] abhi_nav, nevermind. [19:14] fearful, probably because you've added a third party repository without importing the gpg key [19:14] fearful, does it give error for any specific software? [19:14] Every single time I load a Java applet in Firefox, it fails to exit when the page closes, and eats up ~90% of the processor. [19:14] i seem to have googleearth-package 0.5.7 (utility to automatically build Debian package of GE) installed, but i see in synaptic googleearth 5.1.3533.1731 is available. can someone discuss with me which options i should choose for my ubuntu 10.04 acer laptop? [19:14] DrGrov, no. [19:14] It just sits there in the background eating processor until I kill the process. [19:15] Howdy Ya'll [19:15] DrGrov, it will additionally install one or two theme icons or something like stuff also [19:15] abhi_nav: ok, it wanted to get 41,5 MB i think just for kopete lol [19:16] DrGrov, hmm === danlock2 is now known as bean [19:17] abhi_nav: but no worries, got a huge root partition to put my stuff on so there is enough space.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:19] FrozenFire, so you have no problem just kill java all the time [19:19] FrozenFire, Go into synaptic and reinstall Java [19:19] !tab | bean [19:19] bean: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:19] :p [19:20] abhi_nav, im aware.

[19:22] Alright, new question: my problem appears to be that the existing Fedora partition on my server is LVM. I'd like to dual-boot, but the Edubuntu installer doesn't recognize the LVM partition and the OS installed on it.

But bad sectors mean the drive is dying and should be replaced pdq [20:32] Agu10: add a line containing: /dev/?? /mount/folder ntfs-3g users,rw 0 0 [20:32] ok so i installed the driver for my wireless usb antenna.. but.. how do i enable it? i installed it with ndiswrapper and i checked and it installed it said [20:32] VCoolio, ok, thanks [20:32] guys, is an sdcard, i've tried two of them, kingston 8gb, seems like there's something manufacter-related [20:32] Agu10: replace ?? with disk id, find it with 'sudo fdisk -l' or 'sudo blkid', modify options as you see fit [20:33] sean-laptop: modprobe [20:33] blackxored, "fixes" isn't really the right term. An fsck with a -c will make sure Ubuntu doesn't try to use them. [20:33] blackxored: modern harddrives don't have bad sectors anymore, they have spare sectors and when a bad sectors occurs it is remaped to a spare sector; this is all done by the drive firmware [20:33] sean-laptop, did you use sudo ndiswrapper -m afterwards? [20:33] so I want to create the filesystems and fix/skip those wrong sectors [20:33] oh [20:33] no whats that" [20:33] ? [20:33] VCoolio, ok, thanks [20:33] blackxored: could be a bad batch [20:33] UBUNTU FTWWWW!!! [20:33] blackxored: you may be able to skip the bad sectors. Not sure how though [20:34] blackxored, although, if a drive is experiencing bad sectors, I would highly suggest getting a new one soon. [20:34] MikeVaughanG: YEAHHH! [20:34] how can i send a SIGTERM to a program? [20:34] MikeVaughanG, oh yeah! [20:34] Im new to irc..

[21:18] kampa_z: you have to enter a target for zenmap [21:18] ikonia, so this overlap what does exactly mean, and how to solve it [21:19] ikonia, i was starting to believe on hardware failures [21:19] kampa_z: so if your network is 192.168.1.x try 192.168.1.1-255 as a target [21:19] kampa_z, something like automap_network iirdc [21:19] racethesunlive: i think that zanmpa is not the program that i need... :( [21:19] blackxored: look at your end cylinder for sdb1 its 654, look at your start for sdb2, it's 654, and so on, partition1 ends where partition2 begins, partition2 should begin after partition1 [21:19] blackxored: it's the same for all the partitions [21:20] ikonia, really [21:20] ikonia, that's why 4 eyes work [21:20] blackxored : this hears good : "automap_network " :) [21:20] how to fix, [21:20] recreate partition table?

[21:20] kampa_z, there's also autoscan or something like that, i belive google is your best friend now, also you can use etherape for seeing the machines you're communicating with [21:21] muni: cs? [21:21] ikonia, i'll recreate partition table and tell you [21:21] counter strike [21:21] muni: your problem should be discussed in #winehq [21:21] blackxored ok i will look for them. tank you!

[21:48] Jordan_U: I was wondering about that, I was going to set 7, will have to reboot to locate the title. [21:48] pseud0cod3r: make sure it's configured correctly, make sure you're using the intel driver and not the i810, make sure dri is enabled, [21:48] ikonia, in deed, but *maybe* if i make the fs on android, might be mountable both on android and ubuntu [21:49] muni: For Counterstrike? I don't know. I don't play that game. I personally use 64bit myself on all machines. [21:49] blackxored: try it, Icant see why, however I can't explain why you are having the problem you are having either [21:49] in deed [21:49] going home, i'll tell you tomorrow [21:50] blackxored: let me know [21:50] red2kic: what is the difference b/w 64 and 32 [21:50] red2kic: 64 bit is faster [21:51] muni: No. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [21:51] muni: Take full advantage of your machine.

[21:54] After i upgraded my computer to ubuntu 10, I can no longer boot without entering failsafe graphics mode, can anybody help me? [21:54] You need to reinstall your graphic driver [21:54] Jordan_U: Cheers, brb rebooting. [21:55] moes: So if you fix your other distro's menu.lst and re-run update-grub then it will fix the grub.cfg. You can also specify custom menu entries directly by adding them to /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

[21:57] Jordan_U, Thanks will look at men.lst [21:57] tank you!

[21:59] b0n1: most of the work of setting up a network has to do with knowing how networks operate.

In some game the sound is blast/creak. What can I do? [21:59] b0n1: I couldn't tell you for sure, since I don't know your friend. [21:59] b0n1: I will tell you this: it's what I would do.

[22:02] DumbNoob: in /etc/default/grub add or edit a line so it says this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" then do 'sudo update-grub' and reboot [22:02] how to open a aplication as root on launcher ? what we have to write on cammand line ? for example sudo firefox does not work. [22:02] Striking7, what distri would you advice him ? [22:02] Hey, so I appear to have messed up my host files. /etc/hosts is now empty, and I can't load any browsers.

How can I go about diagnosing this problem? [22:03] ok thx [22:03] b0n1: sure thing [22:03] VCoolio, ok, will try. [22:03] DumbNoob: also in the grub menu itself you can select and then edit an option by pressing 'e' [22:03] Actually, I was incorrect. Its not empty, but for some reason I can't run browsers etc. Or run anything as sudo [22:03] found it myself: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages [22:04] VCoolio, I know. Do you know how to edit the grub menu to allow a non-graphical login, so that I disable X [22:04] navatwo: http://pastebin.com/GvyVUCNa you will need to replace D420 with YOUR systems hostname in /etc/hostname [22:04] hellow [22:04] VCoolio, i searched on the Internet, but can't really find a solution [22:04] would anyone happen to know the raw for dcc chat? [22:04] hiya guys, what is the command to restart the gnome x-server (from a remote terminal ofc) [22:04] Hey guys, I have a problem printing that's not exactly related to Ubuntu, but I was wondering if anyone could help me anyways. I have an Epson Stylus CX4600 printer with almost brand new ink that I got in 2007. The printer refuses to print because it says my ink is "expired", but I think the ink should work anyways, as I hardly used it. Is there anything I can do? [22:05] take out the inkcassette and check if it is still in liquid form [22:05] aliendude3500: the ink may be dried out or the like [22:05] I just loaded up kubuntu and couldn't help but notice that my mouse was/is either disabled or just doesnt work.. How can I go about diagnosing this problem? [22:05] hello? [22:05] hi [22:06] Can anyone see me?? [22:06] aliendude3500: So it could be that the printer's driver is just detecting an expiration date and refusing to try, or it could be that the ink is genuinely not good anymore [22:06] no [22:06] anode:yes [22:06] anode: I can [22:06] oh, okay [22:06] anyone: do you know the raw for dcc ? [22:06] aliendude3500: You probably need to just get new ink. If you try to use this ink it might clog things [22:06] I append a '3' to the grub menu, but it still tries to boot up graphically. [22:07] so I have an eeepc 1005ha here, I boot up live disk, Mouse doesn't work [22:07] is this normal? [22:07] Striking7: Sigh... ink is so expensive :( [22:07] what is the command to restart the vnc server in ubuntu 9.10? [22:07] aliendude3500: to avoid chat clutter, do you mind a PM? [22:07] its done if i remeber by restarting the gnome desktop [22:07] PMs are fine, but I'm just gonna buy new ink, thanks for the help anyways... [22:08] anode: just to let you know people are listening, I'm not familiar with that hardware [22:09] Striking7: ah, i'm using the netbook version of kubuntu, so I kind of assumed all would work well with my netbook :( [22:09] striking:hello? [22:09] Aliv3: eh? [22:10] Aliv3: Oh, the raw for DCC? No, I don't know it [22:10] aw:( [22:10] algum brasileiro ? [22:11] Does anyone know how to boot Ubuntu non graphically?

[22:14] DumbNoob: from grub, choose one of the (recovery mode) options [22:14] xangua, actually I haven't yet install it, but am gonna with apt-get [22:14] DumbNoob: edit the kernel line, delete 'quiet splash' if it's there and add 'text' [22:14] That was what I was looking for, i will try it. Thanks1 [22:15] any know issue with firefox? after the latest update it got bricked [22:15] xangua, just curious if there will appear problems after installation [22:15] DumbNoob: that's a one time solution though, for permanent check the link [22:16] I am going to install Ubuntu to an external 500GB Freeagent Goflex drive and have the MBR installed to SDB2 which is going to be the Ubuntu partition and is ext3 will this work and will it not touch SDA1 (Windows, NTFS) [22:19] Is there a 'file' that receives data input from a microphone? e.g. /dev/input/mice is link/file for mouse input. Does something exist for microphone/sound input? [22:20] uhhh, I was k-lined for 25 seconds? X_X [22:20] mizery: you didn't miss any replies [22:20] okies, thanks [22:20] ji, mi update manager is giving me the folllowing error: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gdm2setup/gdm2setu/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [22:20] Does anyone know while the following command doesn't work as expected === macode|afk is now known as macode [22:21] i see it has a typo, at .../gdm2setup/gdm2setup [22:21] mizery: sure thing.

[22:21] (mixer1 in my case) [22:21] how do i fix this? [22:21] It should run a zenity progress bar while the md5sum of the cd is calculated [22:21] mizery: do you have /dev/snd? [22:21] There's a lot of interesting looking stuff in there [22:22] Striking7, I am not at home at the moment, so I will check when I return home. [22:22] mizery: best of luck, wish I knew a little more for certain [22:22] Kill -9 is not killing a defunct firefox process for me. What do? [22:23] i think i messed something up in my IRSSI settings, when i get activity in different windows, i dont get the notification in the status bar :( [22:25] Cube_, I dont know the exact filename for the irssi config file, but you could erase it (maybe something like ~/.irssi and start fresh (exit irssi before erasing it) [22:25] <_jesse_> mizery: there's /dev/audio [22:25] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [22:25] what is this? [22:25] anyone here familiar with configuring BIND9? #ubuntu-server is silent so i thought i'd ask here [22:25] EvilTrek, what is your real question? [22:25] _jesse_: do you think /dev/audio deals with the microphone too? [22:26] <_jesse_> Striking7: not sure, just thought I'd add it to the list of /dev suggestions :P [22:26] _jesse_: I just assumed it was audio in only [22:26] test34: got a real interesting issue with bind9 not reading the IN A entries in the databases, wonderin if someone could help narrow it down [22:26] <_jesse_> Striking7: yeah I think you're right [22:26] _jesse_: gotcha. Well good call! [22:26] question [22:26] hell guys [22:26] Cube_: test34's idea is a bad one.. try asking in #irssi .. they will have better advice [22:26] hello [22:26] Hello i just updated from 9.10 to 10.4 i know this may be common issue but i have no network to my laptop now...where can i find help? [22:26] for some reason i used adduser to create a user… but it doesn't show up in shadow- [22:26] how` can i get opengl2 to kno that i've alread an opengl [22:27] is that okay? [22:27] tydeas: wire or wireless? [22:27] bastid_raZor, cube_, its a good idea if you didnt customize it much yet [22:27] bastid_raZor: thanks but they're all afk ;) [22:27] marsje: both [22:27] test34: no it isn't. [22:28] bastid_raZor, yes it is. [22:28] tydeas: do you have the icon in your tray with the two arrows? [22:28] <_jesse_> Cube_: I'd replace the config file with a new one [22:28] bastid_raZor, for someone who doesnt know what he is doing like Cube_ [22:28] marsje: nope [22:28] <_jesse_> Cube_: it's in .irssi/config [22:28] just the wirelles one [22:28] What font library does Ubuntu use? [22:28] tydeas: any other icon that could be related to networking? [22:29] It's the NetworkManager Applet 0.8 open there [22:29] bastid_raZor, and you obviously (where you suggestion?) [22:29] yes [22:29] tydeas: what does it say? [22:29] No network connection [22:30] tydeas: what if you open a terminal and type: ip addr [22:30] Ok see sorry the wired is ok [22:30] tydeas: that's something :) [22:30] :) [22:30] i am using a USB to LAN adapter to use wired net.. bcz my LAN card is gone.. just now i updated my system to new kernel and after that my system stopped detecting my USB to LAN adapter automatically... but when i use the old kernel it detects it easily..now what to do.. whats wrong in new kernel.. [22:30] where can i start to resolve the wireless issue? [22:30] ji, mi update manager is giving me the folllowing error: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gdm2setup/gdm2setu/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [22:31] tydeas: I don't know so much about wireless... if I plug in my usb wifi thing it just works [22:31] tydeas: but I guess you should search your kernel log for errors related to your wifi thing [22:31] how can i check? [22:31] tydeas: like /var/log/messages [22:32] Hi Team, Can i get an update for this KI http://tick/3460695 [22:32] tydeas: or dmesg | less [22:33] satya: the link didn't work for me [22:33] what can i get from this ?! :) [22:33] tydeas: you might want to try and type: iwconfig [22:33] !tripleboot [22:33] !quadboot [22:34] lol, why not start with dualboot and learn from there [22:34] !quintboot [22:34] tydeas: if you wireless isn't work and it used to work before, probably something went wrong and it will be logged.. but what will be logged will depend on what problem, what driver, etc [22:34] * Striking7 made that up [22:34] is there a way i can triple boot osx,ubuntu and windows, i already have ubuntu and osx on my laptop but when i try to install windows it says tomany partitions [22:35] tydeas: if you have no clue, you might post your logfile on http://pastebin.com/ so other people can have a look [22:35] iwconfig finds wlan0 [22:35] pondera: you're probably going to have to ditch your swap partition [22:35] but everything is off. [22:35] i am using a USB to LAN adapter to use wired net.. bcz my LAN card is gone.. just now i updated my system to new kernel and after that my system stopped detecting my USB to LAN adapter automatically... but when i use the old kernel it detects it easily..now what to do.. whats wrong in new kernel.. [22:35] a [22:35] /var/logs/messages does nto exist [22:35] :s [22:35] sudo ? [22:35] striking7 will that effect my ubuntu installation ? [22:35] pondera: you can only have 4 primary partitions, and lots of operating systems will only work on primary partitions [22:35] tydeas: sorry: /var/log/messages [22:35] pondera: very slightly if at all [22:36] pondera: Swap is only used if you run out of memory. [22:36] yes var/log/ no logs [22:36] when i copy a large directory, and i've got some files that are corrupted so that they cant be copied, a dialog comes up that says cancel, skip or skip all. Does "skip all" equal to "skip whenever a dialog like this would pop up" or does it mean something else? [22:36] folder message or es does not existy [22:36] pondera: if you have a decent amount of memory, you won't miss the swap. Also, you can make a file on one of your linux partitions and use that as a swap file if you need [22:36] tydeas: lots of interesting files in that directory :) [22:36] pondera: you probably won't need it [22:37] hopefully a quick question. I have two installs, one is Mythbuntu 10.04 which uses XFCE and the other is a plain old 10.04 using GNOME. In the Mythbuntu install they added the "applications" menu to the desktop context menu, as well as being in the Panel, but i can't seem to figure out how to add that to the base distro. Suggestions/ideas/ridicule? [22:37] striking 7well i have 1g of memory you think it will be a issue runnin ubuntu 10.04 [22:37] I am going to install Ubuntu to an external 500GB Freeagent Goflex drive and have the MBR installed to SDB2 which is going to be the Ubuntu partition and is ext3 will this work and will it not touch SDA1 (Windows, NTFS) [22:37] linduxed: it means 'skip any file that has the same issue within this operation' [22:37] Hello? Is there a tool to ease the encryption/decryption of files? [22:37] tydeas: type: less /var/log/messages [22:37] striking 7 well i have 1g of memory you think it will be a issue runnin ubuntu 10.04 [22:37] marsje: any ideas how to grep? [22:37] pondera: no [22:37] tydeas: or open with a graphical text editor: gedit /var/log/messages [22:37] pondera: it would probably be a good idea to have a swap partition. [22:38] tydeas: within less searching is done by pressing the /-key [22:38] whats the new way of writing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, sudo service gdm restart does not seem to work: the answer was sudo gdm restart which also restarts the inbuilt vnc server for your remote vnc pleasure [22:38] i do /etc/init.d/hostname restart and get replay Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) ... [22:38] pondera: you won't need it right off the bat, but eventually when you're running a few things at once you will probably need a swap partition with only a gig of ram [22:38] what i am looking for?? [22:38] anyone knows the problame? [22:38] I have a problem with my graphics driver. When I start Ubuntu it says "Could not load module "radeon"", I started it in failsafe graphic mode [22:38] ideas on this [22:38] pondera: I have 512 Mb, with a 500 Mb swap I hardly use, but I go lightweight for a lot of things [22:38] Oh and the screen stays black when i try the normal start [22:39] tydeas: try the name of your lan device, like wlan0 [22:39] striking how would i go about making a swap on my filesystem ? [22:39] Can I somehow delete the driver/ recover my old one? [22:39] pondera: So what I recommend, if you really want to triple boot, is that you have 1 partition for Ubuntu, 1 for OSX, 1 for Windows, and then set up a swap file on Ubuntu [22:39] pondera: let me google it real quick [22:39] I've done it a few times, but I forget how [22:39] striking7 ok thanks if you can link it to me that would be great [22:39] hello? [22:39] who can help to setup file server..... i tried again and again till it became frustrating [22:40] pondera: be glad to - give me just a second [22:40] vcoolio thanks btw duely noted [22:40] hi all, I have KDE4 black out.

I've been getting startup problems now, since I deleted the "radeon" driver [22:41] pondera: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [22:41] check out "four-step process to add swap" [22:41] striking7 thanks so much [22:41] (about 1/3 of the way down) [22:42] There's lots of other good info on that page in case you need it regarding swap [22:42] tydeas: I'm no expert... just a user passing by :) [22:42] pondera: totally welcome [22:42] tydeas: I'm thinking if there's a more appropriate chatroom than thisone === audumla is now known as garmr|Lotus_Pos [22:42] VCoolio: ok good [22:43] hello people, I have lcoked my slef out of an amazon Ec2 instance running ubuntu by meddling with firewall [22:43] URGENT : please help..!! i am using a USB to LAN adapter to use wired net.. bcz my LAN card is gone.. just now i updated my system to new kernel and after that my system stopped detecting my USB to LAN adapter automatically... but when i use the old kernel it detects it easily..now what to do.. whats wrong in new kernel.. [22:43] is there any way to get back in [22:44] how can i determine what card is the wireless i have on my laptop? [22:44] tydeas: if you put the contents of /var/log/messages and iwconfig and /etc/network/interfaces on pastebin, I'll have a look myself [22:44] Q...I have a partition for data on windows XP, or I am making one...what file system? Does it HAVE to be ntfs? [22:44] tydeas: try lshw [22:45] Shadow >>yes [22:45] Shadow, it has to FAT32 or NTFS [22:45] B-r00t: good one [22:45] tydeas: `lspci | grep net` should do it === UrLame is now known as Mqueue [22:45] NTFS is better then FAT32? [22:45] Shadow: yes [22:45] Shadow>>yea more stable unless u want to run chkdsk everyday :) [22:46] But chkdsk takes HOURS [22:46] Shadow: NTFS is limited to 4GiB [22:46] FAT32 will be accesible from XP, so it could be better [22:46] marsje: i can determine my wireless under the *-network DISABLED [22:46] *I mean fat [22:46] Anyone in here that has tried purchasing the Ubuntu Messenger bag? [22:46] Oh [22:46] gaurav__: ntfs can be accesible from XP like fat [22:46] Shadow>> ntfs is fine [22:47] But ext1 is best? xD [22:47] xD [22:47] How can I restore my old graphics driver configuration?

[22:48] how can i uninstall the new kernel and return to old one [22:48] yes i hav installed it. but dont know how its gonna work. [22:49] gaurav__: reinstall nautilus: nautilus -q [22:49] gaurav__: then open nautilus and select any file, press the space bar and it will open it with gloobus [22:49] shreymech: in synaptic search for linux-image and select the version of kernel you wish to have.

[23:23] id was a tarball from python dot org [23:23] gnome/compiz argue with me when I try to remap to meta-<> [23:23] the server port is defaulted at port 80 when installing LAMPP [23:23] and manually hitting X seems the wrng approach [23:24] aurynn: sure, you make the combo map to a virtual F key, then map the f key to an action [23:24] snurfle, if you used "sudo make install", you could try "sudo make uninstall" and then "sudo apt-get install --reinstall python" [23:24] snurfle: Did you try reinstalling python-related packages via synaptic? [23:24] that's a good suggesting. [23:24] suggestion* [23:24] Aurus: What are you trying to remap? [23:25] soreau, everything. I want a global remap from ctrl-<> to meta-<> [23:25] technobowl, it's pretty simple : http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=20376 [23:25] LAMPP phpinfo() server_port 80, I'm trying to change [23:26] aurynn: Maybe you should look into telling X that, possibly with xmodmap [23:26] hmm [23:26] technobowl, Isn't this what you wanted? [23:26] technobowl: /etc/apache2/ports.conf ? [23:26] That's a solution, I wasn't certain if it was the right one. [23:27] I'm checking to see if it is useful [23:27] what's the prefered way to install ubuntu desktop from usb drive? netbootin (reboots everytime just after kernel load) or universal usb installer (created broken usb stick) [23:27] ? [23:28] michal|3s: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [23:28] yeah, xmodmap will create side-effects. [23:28] ActionParsnip: what's the correct checksum? [23:28] !hashes [23:28] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [23:28] I'll look into *box [23:28] thx, checking [23:28] Where can i get the game Aquaria for free, i heard that it become Open Source ? [23:28] michal|3s: clearly you have failed to md5 test, you have no way of knowing the iso os good [23:28] how do I navigate to httpd.conf === macode is now known as macode|afk [23:30] ActionParsnip: the md5 sum is exactly the same :( [23:30] michal|3s: It's probably a general bug rather than one specific to booting from USB. i.e. you'd probably have the same result if you burned the same iso to a CD and booted from that. [23:30] michal|3s: then test the ram and try some bootoptions [23:30] Is there anyway I could navigate to httpd.conf [23:30] could someone help me get wireless working? I have one of these: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [23:31] technobowl: isn't it in /etc === majuknoaqui is now known as majuk [23:31] technobowl: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec245.html [23:32] technobowl, /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf. ..

[23:33] I have neither [23:34] how do I tell what kernel I have? [23:34] mistermatt: uname -r [23:34] mistermatt: uname -a [23:34] mistermatt: uname -a [23:34] technobowl: maybe you should ask in #httpd [23:35] okay that means I should have the iwlwifi drivers :( [23:35] this is a test [23:35] but my wireless still isn't working right [23:35] I found it under apache_conf thanks [23:35] pondera: and you have succeded [23:36] I must say, I hate this netbook remix gui [23:36] do I change directive and IP number [23:36] I want normal kde [23:36] I am on 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu [23:36] I agree with anode [23:36] anode: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [23:36] ActionParsnip: word up, dollar bills [23:36] ActionParsnip: dkm?

[23:41] How do I force regulatory domain on ath5k drivers as it picks the wrong domain by default. I live in EU and it picks US domain so some channels are not available for me thay I need. [23:41] tried that. I get:Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package. [23:41] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [23:41] is only available from another source [23:41] mistermatt: ok do you use any encryption? [23:42] I have tried "sudo iw reg set EU" but it doesnt do anything, still keeps at US. [23:42] ActionParsnip: yes there is encryption, doesn't the connection wizard auto-detect it? [23:42] Hi. i need an apt command to list a specific installed pkg. thanks. [23:43] if i try to "sudo start mysql" or "sudo stop mysql" it just hangs [23:43] it doesnt' do anything [23:43] !rar | kingbinary [23:43] kingbinary: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [23:43] i'm not understanding what its trying to do [23:43] i tried synaptic package manager, but it's not listed when i search for it. i know it installed because during download, it successfully installed using gdeb pkg installer. === macode|afk is now known as macode [23:43] hi, have you made fonts in ubunu? [23:44] prakriti: you need to use /etc/init.d/ script [23:44] prakriti: "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" [23:45] Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an [23:45] Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start mysql === SlidingHorn|Away is now known as slidinghorn [23:45] I understand that, but my problem is that it wont let me install the packages. i tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras but it said it wasnt found just like rar and unrar [23:45] is there any sort of media centre edition of ubuntu i can run side by side with regular ubuntu? [23:45] Is there any way to disable automounting of USB drives in Lucid? [23:46] mistermatt: should do but not all interfaces can use WPA under linux [23:46] kingbinary: run: sudo apt-get update first [23:46] why is aptitude install slapd not asking for domain/password?

[23:47] mistermatt: try using no encryption to test [23:47] hairykary: yes, thats why i typed your name at the start of the line [23:48] ActionParsnip, what does sudo have to do with anything? [23:48] i'm running these commands as root anyways [23:48] hey, i need a little help here. my filesystem is corrupted and fsck doesnt work on it. i get an "unrecognized filesystem" error on startup. [23:48] hairykary: i thought you werent asked for a password when you ran the command to install the package..... [23:48] ActionParsnip: okay I will be back in a minute, I have to disconnect my ethernet to get on the wireless [23:49] ActionParsnip, oh, no. I meant the apt-get configuration screens you get when you install certain packages === bruno is now known as Guest94279 [23:49] hairykary: oh then you want: sudo dpkg-reconfigue slapd [23:49] ActionParsnip, the tutorials I'm reading says that when I install slapd, I should be presented with configuration screens to set the ldap root passwd/etc === steve__ is now known as stephenplatz [23:50] can tor IP address be back traced ?

[23:50] hairykary: not sure, ubuntu doesnt use a root password [23:51] BraddersK: Use Testdrive, it has saved my (and my clients' ass) ass many times [23:51] or would ubuntu server version treat such configurations differently? [23:51] hairykary: the server is the same as the desktop, just doesnt have an X server / desktop installed [23:52] What is the operator used to end one command and start another command in the same line?
