[00:00] maxwellian System>Prefs>Keyboard shortcuts [00:00] Is it at all possible to remove panels from one workspace and not the others so one workspace shows ONLY the desktop? [00:00] homiziado: you can just ask for possibilities for now, as the box isn't in reach, but if money isn't the issue, a tft will be best for such, or is it a lcd tv also on hdmi ? [00:00] Scoobydoo: I'm using Xfce, not Gnome, so I have to do a little translating here... [00:01] macwellian: Just need to figure out how to open a new terminal window with python running in it [00:01] DasEi it is a lcd tv on hdmi [00:01] Scoobydoo, "gnome-terminal -e python" [00:02] ZykoticK9: Saves the day! [00:02] Scoobydoo: Yay! :) [00:02] with ubuntu (8.10 specifically atm), how do I set up dual monitors with different resolutions, not mirrored? is there a guide people usually recommend ? I have an intel 945 (or 965, I'm not exactly sure, but it is one of the two) graphics chipset [00:02] homiziado: well.. don't know how far linux is on the latest developments, but then playing around with ssh and config is real promising [00:03] treble54: nvidia is still doing it best, but might look : [00:03] NitzchONot: So after updating grub, burg is gone? Is that it? [00:03] !dualhead [00:03] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [00:04] should i install 64 bit or 32 bit chrome browser? [00:04] maxwellian, yes, i updated GRUB2 today and after the reboot, my BURG's gone :< [00:04] robertzaccour: Depends on the processor you have... And Chrome 64 bit isn't out yet? [00:04] robertzaccour: depends on your host OS [00:04] NitzchONot: Is it actually uninstalled? Or just not running on startup? [00:05] soadkombucha, yes it is look http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html [00:05] robertzaccour: Hmm. [00:05] robertzaccour: Chances are I have it installed already then [00:05] whenever I connect a second monitor to my laptop, ubuntu detects it (using the application "Monitor Resolution Settings" or "Screen Resolution" in Control Center), but gives me this message when trying to apply any change outside of mirroring my laptop's screen: [00:05] "Monitor Resolution Settings has detected that the virtual resolution must be set in your configuration file in order to apply your settings. Would you like Screen Resolution to set the virtual resolution for you? (Recommended)" [00:06] maxwellian, no, it's installed.. it didnt got removed. It just got 'overwritten' by GRUB and doesnt load anymore. [00:06] NitzchONot: Looking here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg/ it seems burg-install might be your answer... [00:07] soadkombucha, :D [00:07] Hey there. I remember that in previous versions kazehakase was in the repos but I can't find it in lucid. Do you know where can I find it?, please [00:07] Hi [00:07] robertzaccour: Haha. I'm currently installing a Windows XP VBox and I'm going to run it seamlessly. [00:07] ubuntu is not using the correct interface to connect to the internet for some apps [00:08] DasEi sorry for the delay, just plugged everything and am in recovery mode [00:08] maxwellian, thanks. Im gonna reboot (damn thats the only way :< ) and i'll come back with the results.. thanks for your time :D [00:08] homiziado: fine , I just read up some more about caky, it also has dvi then [00:08] NitzchONot: Hold on... [00:09] NitzchONot: Is burg-emu of any use? [00:09] maxwellian, Dont think so, it just emulates how burg will look. [00:09] Alan502_: Which interface is the "correct" one, and which one do you think is being used instead? [00:09] NitzchONot: Okay, good luck! [00:09] homiziado: is it connected to internet, too ? [00:09] maxwellian, cheers, thanks :) [00:09] ppp0, and i think apps are tyring to connect using eth0 [00:09] maxwellian, ppp0, and i think apps are tyring to connect using eth0 [00:10] chrome is just fine now yay [00:10] removed chromium [00:10] robertzaccour: Woot. [00:10] robertzaccour: They're the same thing [00:10] DasEi: even though I do not have an nvidia graphics chipset, can I still use the nvidia program to manage my dual monitor setup ? [00:10] maxwellian, the reason why i think they are using eth0 is because when i disconnect eth0 everything works fine [00:10] DasEi i don't think so but i have wifi [00:10] soadkombucha, thats weird, chromium was buggy, but chrome isn't [00:10] maxwellian, but when i connect it i can't use the internet [00:10] DasEi should be able to connect if from wifi but not configured [00:11] robertzaccour: Yeah but the only difference between the two is a different colored logo and Chrome has Google Tracking [00:11] treble54: no, bu there are ways to configure xorg for dualhead.. mm onboard chips might be a hassle [00:11] Alan502_: Does it affect every application, or just your browser? [00:11] maxwellian, every application [00:11] Alan502_: Really, your apps are not going to know which interface they're using. [00:11] homiziado: there is a router present providing dhcp ? [00:11] Alan502_: Has this setup worked before? [00:11] maxwellian, thanks mate, "burg-install" worked! Cheers:D [00:12] NitzchONot: Great news! Have fun! [00:12] homiziado: sudo dhclientt [00:12] DasEi i'm not sure how to check that but i have a router [00:12] maxwellian, :/ no, i just started using a mobile/broadband and eth0 together [00:12] homiziado: sudo dhclient [00:13] maxwellian, actually, i could get get it a little better by selecting "use this connection onlly for resources on its network" under "routes" of the ipv4 tab of eth0 [00:13] soadkombucha, how come chromium was buggy them? also is there a chromium 64 bit? [00:13] robertzaccour: I'm not exactly sure. [00:13] robertzaccour: On either account. [00:13] maxwellian, i could use xchat, firefox, squid still couldn't connect to the internet though [00:14] homiziado: any ip found ? [00:14] Alan502_: What do you mean, couldn't connect to the Internet? [00:14] Alan502_: If you were using those programs, you were connected. [00:14] homiziado: you can check, if ssh is already installed : sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [00:15] DasEi not sure how to interpret the output but I don't think so [00:15] Alan502_: Oh, were you saying only Squid couldn't connect? [00:15] maxwellian, i mean that they were running fine didn't have internet access [00:15] maxwellian, yes :P sorry === rsfaze-afk is now known as rsfaze [00:15] maxwellian, that, after i had selected "use this connection only for resources on this network" [00:15] minty frosted lans is quite today [00:15] homiziado: if client was succesful, some iface would have assigned an ip [00:16] oh there you are [00:16] maxwellian, squid and ALL my apps work fine accessing the internet when i disconnect eth0 though [00:16] I installed the "preload" package and was wondering if I need to create a startup entry or if its handled automatically? [00:16] DasEi command not found [00:16] Alan502_: It sounds like you are having a route table issue. Unfortunately I'm not super knowledgeable in that area. :P [00:16] maxwellian, eth0 is what's giving me all the trouble :( [00:16] homiziado: the ssh one ? so not installed then [00:16] maxwellian, lol yeah i guess so [00:16] DasEi but man ssh tells me it exists? [00:16] Alan502_: Can you run netstat -nr [00:16] DasEi, yes the ssh [00:17] maxwellian, 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 [00:17] 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 [00:17] 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 [00:17] 0.0.0.0 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 [00:17] Alan502_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:17] And put the results up in ubuntu.pastebin.com [00:17] Alan502_: Whoops, sorry...should have gotten to you earlier. [00:17] haha, my fault [00:17] i knew about this earlier [00:17] i am looking for a way to connect remotely to my friends computer what is the best option for me. i may need access to his windows os or other linux os [00:17] I have attempted to install Ubuntu from my flash drive using Unetbootin. When booting from flash drive, it skips it and goes on back to Windows. That's if I format it FAT32. If it's NTFS, I get BOOTMGR MISSING [00:17] homiziado: : sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start ,but same as above [00:17] meowbuntu, VNC might be what you looking for. [00:17] maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458530/ [00:17] Alan502_: You have two default routes. [00:18] RocketLauncher: Do it with FAT32 and make sure to set USB as the primary boot device using your BIOS settings [00:18] maxwellian, so that could be the problem? [00:18] RocketLauncher: does it have the unetbootin screen with boot prompt coming up [00:18] vnc ok is that availble on ubuntu [00:18] hello Ive set up virtualization in server 10.04 and i can access my virtual pcs using vnc over lan, but I cannot outside of my network, how can i enable outside connections? [00:18] knoppies: [00:18] DasEi also command not found [00:18] Alan502_: My understanding is that when you try to access anything on the Internet, your computer looks up the default route so it knows who to connect to first. [00:19] Alan502_: Since you have two default routes, they are probably interfering with each other. [00:19] maxwellian, aha [00:19] whats faster jwm or fluxbox??? [00:19] maxwellian, which are the default routes? [00:19] homiziado: so either we need to fiugre out a working inetconnction first, or use a usb stick and get a deb for ssh from the lappi [00:19] RocketLauncher: HELLO DID YOU GET THAT [00:20] meowbuntu: I also said something and he apparently didn't get that either [00:20] hey guys how can I determine what connection my hard-drive has? I did lspci and it says my montherboard has IDE SATA interface I think that my HDD is SCSI though [00:20] inspiron, look at the cables :) [00:21] Alan502_: Is it possible to disable the ppp0 device? To see if that also solves the problem? [00:21] inspiron: hwinfo is more detailed, better install gnome-device-manager, bill gates is near ;-) [00:21] Alan502_: I want to be more certain that it's the fact that they co-exist that's causing the issue. [00:21] Alan502_: I don't know anything about ppp0, though. [00:21] ZykoticK9: Well, they have support not only for 4,096 cores now. [00:22] homiziado: so there are ethernetports, too , is there a free one on your router ? [00:22] maxwellian, it's just a mobile/broadband connection. I'll disable it and copy the netstat -nr for you [00:22] maxwellian, ppp0 is how we are chatting though, so 'll log out for a few moments [00:22] ok soadkombucha [00:22] I have attempted to install Ubuntu from my flash drive using Unetbootin. When booting from flash drive, it skips it and goes on back to Windows. That's if I format it FAT32. If it's NTFS, I get BOOTMGR MISSING [00:22] ZykoticK9: It is really easy to get lubvdpau working with VLC now. [00:22] DasEi there is but too far away from the tv [00:23] RocketLauncher: see 2 answers above [00:23] Alan502_: I thought nothing worked when both were enabled? [00:23] Hi, I am on ubuntu 10.04, when I put a file on my desktop it doesn't show up, it shows up in nautilus but not when i look at my desktop [00:23] ZykoticK9: Everything neccessary is present in repositories. [00:23] vaul, i have NO idea! I just read the news that the feature was added! I use mplayer for everything myself. [00:23] DasEi, sorry waht is lappi? I'm searching for a deb [00:23] DasEi: i d/c'd so i couldn't see them. i was lagging like crazy earlier [00:23] homiziado: I ask it to get it to networking ~inet [00:23] vaul, i HIGHLY doubt the version you need is in any repose. check webpd8 site? [00:23] homiziado: lappi = laptop [00:24] ZykoticK9: Just install VLC, libvdpau — both from repositories, mark the checkbox «Use hardware acceleration» in VLC, and voiala! [00:24] DasEi: could you tell me the two answers again? [00:24] vaul, NICE [00:24] RocketLauncher: fat is the right format for unetbootin, let it enough time to finish, unmount cleanly, set bios to boot from usb , should do the job [00:25] ZykoticK9: Unfortunately, support is not perfect, so system load is still high, but acceptable. [00:25] knoppies: ok vnc may be what is the application for ubuntu called [00:25] maxwellian, this is the output of netstat -nr when ppp0 is disabled: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458534/ [00:25] ZykoticK9: So, thanks again — I'll be going. [00:26] !ask | meowbuntu [00:26] meowbuntu, please see my private message [00:26] Alan502: And everything works? [00:26] maxwellian, when i disable ppp0? no, because i have no internet connection through eth0 === paddymelon is now known as confuzzled [00:27] maxwellian, i already enabled ppp0 again [00:27] does anybody know where the "Themes" are stored [00:28] Alan502: Okay, so when ppp0 is disabled, and it's just ethernet, you have no connectivity? [00:28] homiziado: the question about the giganetports was for internet on the calebox, so additional software can be easily pulled from the web [00:28] got one that didn't install properly [00:28] maxwellian, yeah [00:28] I'm running into a problem with xulrunner-1.9.2 on 10.04. Update Manager is asking for a "partial" upgrade, to remove this package, which will break gnome-shell (which I realize is NOT essential) - any way around this? [00:28] maxwellian, i have newtork connectivity, but can't access the internet at all [00:28] Alan502: Why do you have both devices again? [00:29] ZykoticK9: try from runlevel one with option --dry-run to see apt's suggestion ? [00:29] DasEi do you think it can be done without it ethernet access to the router? [00:29] maxwellian, the only reason why i have both devices active is because i must share this ppp0 connection with my sister >:( and i used to do it through ICS with windows [00:29] maxwellian, so for linux, i installed squid on my machine [00:30] maxwellian, and i will let her browser connect to squid [00:30] DasEi sorry still searching for ssh .deb file [00:30] homiziado: I think so, but as this is really new stuff, it would be nice (and much safer) to have a view inside this box, not acting on a crystal ball [00:30] Alan502: Okay, so describe your setup to me. You have cable, DSL, dialup, what? [00:31] #hardwarecanucks [00:31] maxwellian, I have a 3G modem connected to this computer, that's ppp0 from which i access the internet [00:31] maxwell_, then i have eth0 which is a network card connected to a router === Colrol is now known as Rolcol [00:31] maxwellian, then i have eth0 which is a network card connected to a router [00:31] maxwell_, sry [00:32] maxwellian, hmmm on this machine i have squid === macode is now known as macode|afk [00:32] Alan502: Wireless modem? [00:32] maxwellian, yeah a 3G wireless modem [00:33] maxwellian, that's ppp0 [00:33] there are several apps in synaptic that are to do with vnc "tightvncserver", "xtightvncserver", "x2vnc"and "tsclient" i am not sure what to use i need to access windoes and linux computers to help ppl and teach them stuff. [00:33] Alan502: Okay, so without your sister mucking things up, your normal setup would be the wireless modem, and that would communicate through the ppp0 interface? [00:33] mint is my first choice [00:33] maxwellian, the router to which eth0 is connected is a simple wireless router, just the router and me [00:34] but ubuntu is a good os i use as my server [00:34] maxwellian, yes, if i wouldn't have to include my sister in this network i would just unplug eth0 and connect to the internet with ppp0 normally [00:34] Alan502: Okay, but you can't get rid of her, so you added a wireless router, which is connected to your machine via ethernet. [00:34] maxwell_, right! [00:34] Alan502: And she is supposed to be connecting via the router. [00:35] maxwellian, yup [00:35] :) === fabio is now known as fabiobik [00:35] how would I find out what max screen resolution my graphics chipset (Intel 945GM) can handle ? [00:36] Alan502: Okay, so I don't really know how this works, but it seems to me that your machine is assuming that both the ppp0 interface and the eth0 interface are good options to get out to the Internet. [00:36] Alan502: But really, only the ppp0 is going to get you very far. The eth0 will only take you to your sister, at best. [00:36] maxwellian, uhu, and that's why i can't connect to the internet with eth0 plugged [00:37] maxwellian, right :P [00:37] Alan502: Okay, so hold on, let me look up some routing info. [00:37] maxwellian, ok take your time :D [00:37] DasEi just plugged the usb to the machine [00:37] treble54, you normally know your max resolution from your provider [00:38] hey guys, I have ubuntu 10.04, and when I suspend my computer, I can't resume, so is there a solution to this problem? [00:38] homiziado: containing the ssh-deb ? [00:38] treble54, from intel, in this case [00:38] DasEi yes [00:38] treble54, http://www.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/309219.htm [00:38] homiziado: sudo fdisk -l , which device ? [00:38] treble54, section 1.3 [00:38] hey all, i remember a program which allowed apache to create vhosts on the fly [00:39] i think it started with r [00:39] i can't remember the name [00:39] daichi: rapache ?! [00:39] omg! duh yes [00:39] :P [00:39] DasEui /dev/sdb/ ? [00:39] Alan502: Okay, so right now, you've disconnected the ethernet? [00:39] thanks :D [00:39] DasEi /dev/sdb ? [00:39] homiziado: prbly, yes /dev/sdb1 I assume [00:40] maxwellian, yep [00:40] homiziado: sudo mkdir /media/stick [00:40] !new [00:40] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [00:40] DasEi I think so also [00:40] homiziado: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/stick [00:40] Alan502: Go into the Terminal and type "traceroute google.com" [00:40] !ubuntu [00:40] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [00:41] homiziado: cd /media/stick [00:41] homiziado: ls [00:41] maxwellian, ok it's running now [00:41] homiziado: ssh-deb there ? [00:42] why the fuck after dist-upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 all my storage devices got changed from /dev/hdx -> /dev/sdx ? and the more important question, why didnt the upgrade just replaced all paths in /dev/fstab ?? [00:42] DasEi no :( [00:42] i dont think apt-get is auto updating like I have it set to do in synaptic, how can i fix this? I did a ground up install so i might be missing a few packages. thanks! [00:42] lpetrov: Language. [00:42] homiziado: sudo mkdir /media/stick [00:42] so how can I find what connection is used by my HDD? lscpi? [00:42] is it possible to have windows 7 ubuntu and xp pro on one systerm/; [00:42] homiziado: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/stick [00:42] homiziado: cd /media/stick [00:42] homiziado: ls [00:42] ls = "LS" [00:42] DasEi "is already mounted on /media/stick" [00:42] maxwellian: i'm mad.. 4hours downtime because of startup screen sayn' "cant find /dev/hdx" [00:43] maxwellian, let me paste the output.... [00:43] clayg: Have you tried looking up something like "triple boot" in google? [00:43] homiziado: was just a repeattition, case you missed a step [00:43] maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458537/ [00:44] lpetrov: Because that's ubuntu - it's made to work as it is but it has 1000s of bugs. I've NEVER made a successful dist-upgrade so far. But if you want the latest and greatest and a system which makes minimal use of the VERY VERY POWERFUL command line then use ubuntu [00:44] Alan502: Uh...was that with the ethernet unplugged? [00:44] maxwellian, Npo [00:44] maxwellian, I have not but I'll take that question as a suggestion and do so, thanks [00:44] maxwellian, yeah, weird but i can still ping google.... [00:44] nerdy_kid, i think it does this via the Update Manager (system->administration->update manager->Settings) [00:44] DasEi weird ... no files [00:45] maxwellian, i'm running traceroute again [00:45] maxwellian, just in case [00:45] Alan502: It should show the different machines you're connecting to to reach Google. [00:45] DasEi should I try another usb? [00:45] codebrainz yeah under "software sources", i have that set to "daily" but i dont think it works. [00:45] lpetrov: if you are running a server consider debian. Ubuntu you will have to change at least once every 3 years and changes are drastic. Files are no longer used, have changed places or whatever. [00:46] DasEi... I transfered the .deb from a mac, any influence? [00:46] maxwellian, hahaha i got the same again xD [00:46] inspiron: thanks, that is what i wanned to hear :) [00:46] maxwellian, let me paste it to you anyway [00:46] Alan502: Okay, so the only interface enabled right now is ppp0? [00:46] ubuntu rocks [00:46] homiziado: sure no drive-miss ? prbly there will just be sda and sdb .. errrm mac-deb or a deb from web, d/l by mac ? [00:46] !debian [00:46] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [00:46] nerdy_kid, you just want the upgrades to automatically install? [00:47] maxwellian, yes :) [00:47] DasEi download from a mac and put on the usb from the mac === ocatacoo is now known as ocatacoo06 [00:47] maxwellian, running ifconfig doesn't show any adress under eth0 [00:47] codebrainz no just notify me [00:47] Alan502: The traceroute indicates to me that you cannot, in fact, reach Google. [00:47] maxwellian, so i'm sure eth0 is disable [00:47] homiziado: which filesystem does the stick have ? [00:47] maxwellian, i can ping it though [00:47] Alan502: Hrm... [00:47] nerdy_kid, yeah, then where i said under Update Manager [00:47] maxwellian, PING www.l.google.com (72.14.253.104) 56(84) bytes of data. [00:47] homiziado: sudo fdisk -l [00:47] 64 bytes from mia04s03-in-f104.1e100.net (72.14.253.104): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=531 ms [00:47] 64 bytes from mia04s03-in-f104.1e100.net (72.14.253.104): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=539 ms [00:47] Alan502: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:48] xD [00:48] DasEi not sure but I can reformat it [00:48] homiziado: sudo fdisk -l [00:48] codebrainz right i have that set [00:48] Alan502: Don't paste in here. [00:48] sorry again [00:48] homiziado: if mount hasn't complained, won't be the issue then [00:48] Anyone know how to ubottu we know we know - don't use debian repos in ubuntu. Otherwise ubuntu might actually stop crashing and work properly. On ubuntu I'm afraid to update because I don't know whether the next update is not going to make my system unusable. I do agree that ubuntu does a lot but it's not my cup of tea. I need something which is ROCK solid. [00:49] anyone know how to find out what connection my HDD has? Is it SATA? SCSI? [00:49] Alan502: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces? [00:49] DasEi "warning: gpt (guid partition table) detected on /dev/sdb the util fdisk does not support gpt. use gnu parted" ? [00:49] nerdy_kid, and it doesn't pop up from time to time with the new updates? [00:49] inspiron: Rock solid, probably about the closest your going to get Linux distrowise is Debian Stable [00:50] DasEi can be a cause? [00:50] sebsebseb: and that's what I'm running [00:50] homiziado: there are some basic tries one could do on graphics, but as this iegd with hdmi is very new to me, I'd like to know more about the environment beforehands [00:50] maxwellian, ok... [00:50] maxwellian, pasting.. [00:50] inspiron: well in that case support is #debian [00:50] codebrainz no; i have another pc though and it works fine. [00:51] maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458540/ [00:51] homiziado: seems like mac table then, use fat or ntfs ?! [00:51] sebsebseb: yeah but I need something different - I want to find out what connection my HDD has [00:51] nerdy_kid, yeah, not sure. the packages are 'update-manager*' and 'update-notifier*' [00:51] DasEi not sure which it is but its not fat [00:51] Alan502: Okay, nothing weird there. [00:52] nerdy_kid, and 'update-inetd' [00:52] homiziado: sudo fdisk -l will tell you about fs [00:52] inspiron: well then support is ##hardware [00:52] inspiron: gnome-device-manager tried ??! [00:52] maxwellian, nope, arghhh but can't i select only just one interface as default with route? [00:52] inspiron, also try parted -l, which will tell you the UID's, filesystems, etc... [00:54] Alan502: Unfortunately, what you're trying to do is foreign to me, and I'm not sure it's even possible. [00:54] codebrainz hmm i dont have a /etc/inetd.conf, i think im supposed to have that? [00:54] even though the package is installed [00:54] Alan502: At least, you may have to do some router configuration in addition to whatever you do to your own machine. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:54] maxwellian, ahhh well, but THANKS for your time :) at least i got an idea of what could be the problem [00:55] nerdy_kid, i do, but it's empty [00:55] maxwellian, what type of configuration on my router? [00:55] Alan502: Stick around if you can, maybe someone will come on who can help more with weird networking. [00:55] will someone please look at this pastebin with the log file in it. I've asked 3 times over a period of 5 hours. !! --Why did my gnomebaker disk burner fail to like the disk I put in?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dthSQbYs [00:55] maxwellian, ok i'll try the forums probably [00:55] hi [00:55] thanks!!! ia [00:55] Alan502: Your router has to know how to pass information between networks. Don't know if it's going to know what you're trying to do by default. [00:56] I have compiz installed, and I enabled it via "Compiz Fusion Icon" app. but everytime I boot ubuntu, and log-in, it is disabled... how could I solve this? [00:56] maxwellian, ok, thanks! [00:56] well I mean it says SATA but the connector is like the pins on a mmc or sd card - the flat ones [00:56] tripelb: try another app, else medium might be incompatible [00:56] tripelb: sudo apt-get install k3b brasero [00:57] Agu10, Settings->Appearances->Visual Effects->Extra is probably the easiest [00:57] Alan502: Sure, sorry I wasn't more help. I'm reading up on multiple default paths, maybe something will come up. :) [00:57] inspiron: that's sata then [00:57] maxwellian, ok :D [00:57] codebrainz, no, because I'd loose my compiz config [00:58] hello all [00:58] Agu10, it will load whatever you've set in compiz config settings manager [00:58] inspiron: ide is the 80 (40) post-connector , sata 1/2/3 the ~4cm width plug [00:58] DasEi: Once I bought a SATA enclosure and it required those needle pins, not the flat card-like ones [00:58] codebrainz, are you sure? I once did that, and it disabled all the plugins, if I remember right [00:58] can someone help me out with bash, i'm new to it and am not sure where to define my functions [00:59] inspiron: p-ata likely [00:59] DasEi: the enclosure is pata you mean? [00:59] Agu10, no i'm not sure, but worse case scenario, you spend 2 minutes reconfiguring it [00:59] vol7ron: script or aliases ? [00:59] codebrainz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1152521 same issue [00:59] inspiron: p-ata likely if owns the needle one type, yup [01:00] DasEi, either. I'm used to doing something like: alias emacs "emacs \!* &" [01:00] codebrainz, that won't make it be enabled when I log-in, will it? [01:00] hey room [01:00] and why not the Compiz Fusion Icon then?? [01:00] Agu10, it does for me :) [01:00] DasEi, I imagine the bash equivalent would be: emacs(){emacs $@ &;} [01:00] Agu10, i don't think i have said icon [01:00] what's the problem why it goes back to Metacity? [01:00] vol7ron: /etc/bash.bashrc [01:01] Agu10, unless compiz isn't working, it shouldn't fallback to metacity [01:01] i need help getting my resolution properly set on my Parallels virtalization of Ubuntu 10.4 [01:01] DasEi, so ~/.bashrc wouldn't work? [01:01] codebrainz, it IS working. that's why I don't understand why it starts metacity instead [01:01] :S [01:02] vol7ron: there you can have a line like alias check="sudo apt-get update" [01:02] I still can't get Ubuntu to install off a flash drive. It still skips when I try to boot from it [01:02] vol7ron: once you open a new shell, it'll work [01:02] dasei, i could have that same line in my ~/.bash_aliases [01:02] Agu10, it's hacky, but you could add a start up program with the command 'compiz --replace' but you shouldn't need to do that [01:02] RocketLauncher: you need to set your bios to boot from USB media [01:02] vol7ron: yes [01:02] codebrainz, I'll try that [01:02] that doesn't help [01:02] i need help getting my resolution properly set on my Parallels virtalization of Ubuntu 10.4 [01:02] MaRk-I: I'll try again [01:03] Agu10, have you got fusion-icon installed (it'll make managing compiz easier) [01:03] the problem is the error, I'll see if someone knows in #bash [01:03] nerdy_kid, not sure, short of trying to reinstall the packages i listed [01:03] airtonix, yes, I do === KnightStalker is now known as Guest10989 [01:03] airtonix, but even if I enable it, next time I boot and log-in, it's disabled :S [01:03] Agu10: and codebrainz is correct you need to enable compiz through system preferences [01:03] it appears as enabled in the menu though [01:03] Agu10, whats disabled ? [01:04] airtonix, metacity's running instead [01:04] vol7ron: I don't know the syntax for bash_aliases from my head, might be different [01:04] codebrainz im also missing the "dist upgrade" part of software sources...strange! ok well thanks! :) [01:04] Hello,I have a question about deb package,for example,if I install a php5-cgi package by aptitude,how can I know the configure options of the package,from aptitude program or php executable file? [01:05] dasei, the problem is bash can't take parameters like csh can.

[01:07] Yes,codebrainz,that is really what I need! [01:07] DasEi could you just tell me more or less what would be the steps you would do afterwards? [01:07] clem, i *believe* you can find this if you do 'apt-get source thepackage' (could be wrong) [01:08] MaRk-I: there's USB-FDD and USB-ZIP. I just put them on boot #1 and #2 since i didnt know which one was which [01:08] homiziado: yes, install some helping apps : pastebinit, hwinfo, htop , check the hardware, backup a possible xorg-configuration and then try to configure x for hdmi [01:08] 376 94.98.153.80 [01:08] RocketLauncher: heh well you need to know which one, also you could try pressing F10 and select the appropiate USB [01:09] MaRk-I: yeah i did that [01:09] which i got the sure-fire one [01:09] homiziado: check if the sources.list ist complete, check the syslog, check dmesg [01:09] how did you burn the iso in the usb? [01:10] MaRk-I: unetbootin he used [01:10] that should work [01:10] codebrainz,the command will download a source package, but I need a string of configure options. [01:10] still that usb.fdd doenst look good lol a usb floppy? [01:10] DasEi ok and thanks a lot for your time and patience :) [01:10] MaRk-I: i used unetbootin [01:11] RocketLauncher: you verified the d/L (md5sum) ? right architectuure (no x64 on i386 ?) [01:11] DasEi: yes and yes [01:11] homiziado: as said, interesting stuff you pulled apart there, these atoms are really neat in consumption [01:12] hi all [01:12] Hello everyone. Something is eating up my CPU power and I don't know what. The computer was working fine yesterday with the exact same settings. Can someone please advise me on how to trouble shoot this? I have already tried system monitor but it does not told me anything useful. It shows that most things are not using the CPU at all and there are only 2 other things that are using about 15% each. [01:12] evon: open a terminal and type: top [01:12] evon, have you made it show you processes from all users? [01:13] DasEi green and no windows tax :) tks again! [01:13] you'll see the processes and which one is eating up cpu/mem [01:13] I am having all the trouble in the world trying to get my sound going. I have an intel D865GLC mobo, with 82801EB/ER on board sound [01:13] RocketLauncher: so it boots, and then .. what happens after saying grub .. isolinux ? [01:13] .............. [01:13] Daekdroom. there is only one user. Me ;-) [01:13] clem, totally guessing, but under thepackage/debian/rules maybe [01:14] codebrainz,could you tell me something about how can I get the configure options form a source package? [01:14] evon, but some processes are ran under a user called "root" when they need acess to certain folders and configs.. [01:14] evon, the graphical server, for example, and it's not an unusual cause for CPU hogging.. [01:14] i even removed my tv card, which shard an irq with it. I have had issues in the past with that card not sharing [01:14] clem, apt-get source thepackage, and then cd thepackage-version/debian and then cat rules (it looks like some configure options in there, but not really sure) [01:14] Daekdroom. how do i check for this? [01:15] jake_ : sudo apt-get install alsamixergui [01:15] jake_: press alt-f2 type: padevchooser [01:15] evon, top command, as mentioned above. === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat [01:15] Daekdroom. So here's an update. I've restarted my compiz and everything is fine now. But why would this happen in the first place?

[01:16] how do i install VLC 0.9.8 ?? my vlc-rar-plugin dont work on 1.0 [01:16] DasEi, but i'll install it anyways [01:16] clem, otherwise, i'm afraid i can't help much more :) [01:16] Daekdroom. That top command is pretty cool. It's showing that Xorg is hogging 50% of the CPU === behappy1_ is now known as be_happy [01:16] jake_ : alsamixergui (gui) also displays if snd-module was found, but mute is also to be checked [01:16] Daekdroom. Any suggestions how I would go about gathering more info? [01:17] evon, oh well, I'm not very into Xorg problems. [01:17] DasEi: the reason he has no audio is pulseaudio selecting "digital stereo" instead of analog [01:17] OK,anyway,thank you,codebrainz. [01:17] he needs to change it to analog [01:17] DasEi, it just says "card pulseaudio, chip pulseaudio" [01:17] evon: htop is even nicer [01:18] Daekdroom. Cool. thanks anyway for the help. at least i learned 2 new commands [01:18] pulseaudio with network streaming works unbelievable well, wathcing a movie through it now. :) [01:19] MaRk-I, I have padevchooser installed. Its an applet, correct? There are many options, which should I look for?

I went "volume control -> preferences -> output" and observed that the "connector" value was set to "Analog Output / Amplified" [01:21] ballongen: it would, but you'd have to lock it in apt then, and there are security-fixes getting lost then [01:22] MaRk-I, I'll change it now to *Analog stereo duplex" [01:22] DasEi, sweet, how do i lock it in apt?

I guess the long uneeded explanation is that I need authoritative, accurate, and timely solutions... not archives that require days of fiddling which I have zero time for [01:50] osmodivs, its easy. go to xchat -->network list -->ubuntu servers-->click edit--->add the channels you wish to auto join [01:50] google is just google [01:50] osmodivs: many use xchat, what is your question? [01:50] Well, all of this chat lingo is new to me [01:50] RTFM responses are RTFM responses [01:50] save channels [01:50] how to? [01:50] osmodivs, see my explanation above [01:50] is there a keybord command for bringing up bash? [01:51] but what client are you using? [01:51] osmodivs: right click on the channel name then click Add to favorites [01:51] Ah, ok [01:51] Alan502: he is using Xchat [01:51] osmodivs: you click Xchat menu, servers list, select freenode, edit and there's a line to auto join channels [01:51] IdleOne, ok [01:51] sevenseeker, your solution isn't gonna be easily found probably, most things when you plug them in require some configs to work correctly. You could actually right a BASH script to update things when you plug stuff in so you can just cp a config file here and backup the original [01:51] THX EVERYBODY! I am outta here to the Blender channel [01:52] osmodivs: welcome [01:52] Is somebody here good with network routes? I got an issue with ubuntu having two default routes... [01:52] Is there any way to stream music played from rhythmbox TO a shoutcast server? I don't want to listen to a shoutcast server. [01:53] ----Why did my gnomebaker disk burner fail to like the disk I put in?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dthSQbYs --- (I tried brasero first.) [01:53] hi, it stucks at setting up acpi-support-base (0.137-3) when i do sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:54] is there a way to make my mouse pointer always go to the centre of my screen? [01:54] can i use gwibber social client for skype as well? [01:55] zus, not that I know of, skype is proprietary and very locked down [01:56] and skype is not a social network :S [01:56] jarHeadless: I don't know about that, but here is an easy way to visually locate you mouse pointer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/linux/seeing/pointer/locating/sub_3.shtml [01:56] Malgorath, thank you. That is however unacceptable as this is for my mom and wife. It is a clear shame that the open source community has yet to figure this out. If I won the lottery and had a few years I guess I would do it myself... not being a c-guru and having to work and support fam, guess Mac is my friend, thanks [01:56] so id have to have skype open if i am expecting a call? [01:56] Marupa: you mean listen to a shoutcast stream in rhytmbox instead of shoutcast page? [01:57] zus, why not check skype documentation for that [01:58] sevenseeker, in my experience projectors and such will generally work, not sure why you would need a script for that [01:58] so, my sd card wont mount when i insert it into my AAO running UNR 10.04. how do i shot mounting? [01:58] sevenseeker, they can't click an icon? BASH scripts do not require C knowledge [01:59] packrat: this doc may be of some help: http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=sdricoh_cs&btnG=Search [01:59] bazhang, thanks then, i will. [01:59] Malgorath icon? Is there a stock program that they can click? [01:59] sevenseeker, you can link BASH scripts to an icon [01:59] greezmunkey, is that the reader that the AAO has? [01:59] Kinda like how in windows you can run shell scripts from a shortcut [01:59] Malgorath, ok, I will google for some examples of those scripts [02:00] my knowledge of gui's is sadly limited, I am used to servers :( [02:00] Im having a problem geting a splash screen to work. Im using the Splash Screen Utility but its not working. [02:00] packrat: idk, what is an AAA - the doc I sent concerns sd readers in general (sort of) [02:00] im useing Ubuntu 10.04 [02:00] Acer Aspire One [02:00] sevenseeker, umm bash is CLI and used by a lot of server admins [02:00] sorry [02:01] packrat: I said it may be of some help, check it out and see :) [02:01] MaRk-I, No. i want to stream, not listen. [02:01] hi i want to use the apache command (a2ensite) to enable my sites using a bash script -- what command do i enter in the script? [02:01] malgorath, yup, never said it wasn't... but logically and easily deduce-able by my statements and initial query are the fact that I don't know how to do it [02:02] sevenseeker, you know how to copy a file from the command line? [02:02] Marupa: I doubt you can, you have to setup an icecast/shoutcast server, do a google search [02:02] greezmunkey, sadly, im not entirely sure what to do with the information in the link you provided. im fairly green with linux [02:02] malgorath, not in the mood for pissing contests [02:02] is there a keybord combation to bring up bash? [02:02] anybody know how to get a splash screen working [02:03] MaRk-I, I have a shoutcast server set up, but I do not want to do a playlist like it supports. I want to do live DJing. [02:03] Hi, I'm getting a weird issue with ubuntu on my laptop where everything freezes/wifi disconnects/etc after like 30 seconds of being inactive, then unfreezes after moving the mouse. I made a video of it if it helps :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzQHzIjQaws [02:03] sevenseeker, wasn't a pissing contest and I can see now your just lazy. So enjoy life. I was helping you but your being ignorant [02:03] Malgorath, sevenseeker lets please move on [02:03] !abs | sevenseeker [02:03] sevenseeker: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [02:03] malgorath, yup... it is a pissing contest if nothing else by your 'I can see now you are just lazy' thanks for giving oss another black eye... move on [02:03] I feel like this is the gentoo channel === audumla|afk is now known as audumla [02:04] sevenseeker, check that guide, perhaps #bash will be willing to help you [02:04] I cannot get vnc_listen = "0.0.0.0" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf to work! someone please help?!! [02:04] bash isn't the issue [02:04] SIREN: you can set one in System->Prefs->Keyboard Shortcuts [add button] [02:04] xorg is [02:04] xorg is a beast in my experience, albeit limited, to make 'smart' [02:04] sevenseeker: this may helphttp://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors [02:04] bazhang, he is to lazy or ignornat to probably change the projector resolution when he plugs it in cause he bought a cheap projector. [02:04] http://www.commandlineidiot.com/blog/2007/plate-up-bash-script-for-apache-vhost-setup/ -- i am using this guide to create vhosts. how can i sym-link my created vhost in the /etc/apache2/sites-available folder [02:04] packrat: at the bottom of the resulting page there is a link to a howto on mounting sd cards in linux. That's probably a good start. [02:04] so I naively assumed there would be some smart systems for managing a common issue [02:05] Malgorath, that's not necessary, lets move on [02:05] Hi. Is there a protocol, e.g VNC, that allows you to have steamless-windows which RDP (RemoteApp) and Citrix offers? [02:05] according to the guides sym-link -- it creates a new folder, so the created vhost ends up in /etc/apache2/available-sites/available-sites -- the last being the symbolic link [02:05] Marupa: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434555 [02:05] bazhang, sorry just tired of immature people coming into a channel and thinking we will just have the instant fix and when we don't 'we are giving OSS another black eye' [02:06] OSS is thought of in many circles to be the realm of bad attitude trolls hacking away in their mom's basements... I have been fighting this for more than a decade, now I feel like it is 2 steps back [02:06] Malgorath, spare me [02:06] anyone have any ideas for my problem? :( [02:06] im so lost with this [02:06] wodKa, Sorry, I've been flipping in and out [02:07] Let me read it. [02:07] wodKa, looks like it might be a powersave issue, is it a laptop? [02:07] it is a laptop [02:07] ive disabled everything in power management [02:07] IDJC does not do what I need. [02:07] wodKa, does it do it if you turn of the wifi? [02:08] ill let you know in about 30 seconds [02:08] er turn off the wifi even [02:08] yup still does it [02:08] How to know which user is running a daemon? [02:08] wodKa, checked the usual log files? [02:09] where can i check those? [02:09] in the /var/log directory [02:09] can someone help me with getting a splash screen to work. [02:09] kk [02:09] also do dmesg | more and read through for errors [02:09] Alan502: at the terminal type: top [02:09] Sometimes, when I view a flash app a bunch of times, it stops displaying until i restart firefox, what could cause this? === audumla is now known as audumla|afk [02:09] ----Why did my gnomebaker disk burner fail to like the disk I put in?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dthSQbYs --- (I tried brasero first.) [02:10] Alan502, if you know the daemon name like httpd you can also do: ps aux | grep httpd [02:10] ok, so lets start over... what is the right tool or google search string for enabling a laptop to connect at anytime to arbitrary projectors or external monitors both of high quality and resolution via a vga or perhaps a hdmi connection? [02:10] cjdevlin, nevermind, i found out. Can I make auto eth0 not available to an specific user? [02:10] Malgorath, i found out, but know i want to block a networking interface to that specific user [02:10] sevenseeker, There is no easy way, it requires reconfiguring and restarting X. [02:10] tripelb: are you sure it is blank? [02:10] ---- I just did sudo apt-get install k3b brasero and there are all kind of errors as it is intslling. Will my life thn be worse? [02:11] sevenseeker, The easiest way I have found is through KDE's screen setup [02:11] inductiveload, I thought so. If it is not blank then it would get seen. [02:11] sevenseeker, it seems to be built a little better than Gnome's, from what I can tell [02:11] I'll try the next disk. I only tried 2. none have failed before inductiveload [02:11] MaRk-I, IDJC does not do what I want it to do. I need a program that has, as amarok or rhythmbox has, a library of MP3s I can search through. [02:11] sevenseeker, but it will only work with Open Source drivers. the closed source nvidia driver blows for changing x configs. [02:12] hmm, i had a problem with a half-burned disc with gnomebaker last week [02:12] i've had no half burned disks before but maybe inductiveload [02:12] nothing in dmsg, theres a bunch of logs which one(s) should i look in? [02:13] Please, how to create a link to "aptitude" to work as root? [02:13] sevenseeker: xrandr and turning off the laptop display is going to be your best bet [02:14] ok, guys... thanks... sad to hear but thank you. Is there an effort sorta like the LDTP project, to improve this? I will gladly help the effort in any way I can [02:14] how do i get ibus on interpid? [02:14] I have an issue with my wireless card not being recognized. It is an ipw2100 and it stopped working for after a reboot. Can somebody help me trouble shoot it? [02:14] ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipw2100-1/3.fw' not available or load failed [02:14] ipw2100: eth1: ipw2100_get_firmware failed -2 [02:14] ipw2100: eth1: Failed to power on the adapter. [02:14] ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the firmware. [02:14] spiol78: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:14] Please, how to create a link to "aptitude" to work "aptitude" as root askink for password on launch [02:15] I don't really see anything in the couple logs i looked at, i dont relaly know what i'm looking for but nothing that hits me in the face as "error" or anything. [02:15] i tried to install ubuntu from flash drive using unetbootin but it just skips it when i try to boot from it. whats wrong? [02:15] cjdevlin... I tried mucking through the different laptop display settings but it didn't like any. The external displays I am using to test are admittedly higher than my laptops display, though not by much [02:15] wodKa, sorry doing 4 things at once right now, does the laptop run another OS fine? [02:15] sevenseeker: you, figure out what resulotions you plan to use in advance - xrandr is good for that, then build those into your Xorg.conf file. Then whilst in Gnome, or whatever window manager, ctrl+alt and + or - will cycle through the resolutions you have "preprogrammed" [02:16] inductiveload, same thing. Question: did you look at the pastebin? [02:16] pastebin where? [02:16] Malgorath: yeah it runs vista fine, i actually formatted and reinstalled it last night since ubuntu has been unusable because of this. 8.04 and 8.10 worked fine, ever since the 9.x series i've gotten this issue [02:16] running off live cd to test this stuff right now [02:16] no, one sec [02:17] How can i configure the networking of a system user? [02:17] ----Why did my gnomebaker disk burner fail to like the disk I put in?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dthSQbYs --- (I tried brasero first.) ----- I can look and see if my new results are the same. [02:17] inductiveload, just above [02:17] wodKa, what about 10.04? [02:17] 10.04 LTS is the disc i have in right now [02:18] yep, well looks like it can't see a disc (seems like my problem, but I didn't look at the log for that, just changed the disc and away i went) [02:18] http://images.4chan.org/b/src/1278119592462.jpg [02:18] whops [02:18] other that that, i may not be very useful to you... [02:18] Alan502: Sorry, that's probably not the path you need to take bud... [02:18] i reinstalled 8.04 just to see what it would do, and it worked great. updated from that and iirc it started freezing again after i finished the updates [02:18] Please, how to create a link on desktop for "aptitude" to work as root, maybe asking for password on launch? At the moment it works only as unpreveliged task [02:19] greezmunkey, thanks... I am not sure if the current xorg uses the ancient (as I am) modedisplay settings, can I just put in lines that say the resolution, depth, and Hz and then be done with it? [02:19] FabParma: If you're doing GUI stuff, have you considered Update Manger or Synaptic? [02:20] hey is there a shell command that lists my main system stats ...i want to post them on craigslist so i can sell my laptop === audumla|afk is now known as audumla [02:20] inductiveload, almost the same. here's the new one http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/GhgeZ40u [02:20] looking for assistance -> http://pastebin.com/CTSfT95Q [02:20] sevenseeker: did you read the how to i recommended? they are both from this article: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2008/95/ASK-KLAUS [02:20] inductiveload, please use my name in lines where I should read it. ty [02:20] :( [02:21] download and read the pdf. then try to do something. let us know what the problems you are having. [02:21] daichi state your problem so someone who might know can read it [02:21] i put all info in the pastebin === Georg is now known as Georgiy [02:21] So it is not possible to stream audio from rhythmbox or amarok to a shoutcast server? [02:22] sevenseeker: that hasn't changed a lot that I could see. Here is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458562/ [02:22] hey you guys...is there a tool in ubuntu or a terminal command that will show my system stats? i want to post my stats on craigslist so i can sell my computer [02:22] daichi: Give me a minute, I'm having trouble understanding your problem. [02:23] ok [02:23] daichi: Just need to read it again a couple of times. :P [02:23] :P [02:23] tribelb: i don't really know more than that,,,i'm just sayin' i had a similar problem recently [02:23] but seems not related [02:24] cjdevlin, thanks for that... yeah I read it and realized I had tried most of it already... sadly. At least to switch to clone and extend sytems. I have an ATI system so maybe that is part of the problem. [02:24] sevenseeker: and here is xrandr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458565/ [02:24] how do i get ibus on interpid? [02:24] greezmunkey, looks familiar enough... thank you a TON [02:25] p [02:25] the xrandr option usually works. where did you run into problems? === netrat is now known as netbookrat [02:25] sevenseeker: heh, as you can see from my xorg.conf, I've pretty much tried everything I could to get the most of my ATI adapter, I runs as well as possible now, but it still isn't good enough to run compiz... [02:25] cjdevlin, well it flickrs and wavers on the external monitor or projector system... while I blow it off I am tired of folks complaining and saying 'use windows' grrrrr [02:26] anyone else willing to help me out since the guy that was helping me left? :/ im about to give up [02:26] 这是什么 [02:26] daichi: Is your goal to be able to use this script as is? [02:26] greezmunkey: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [02:26] daichi: Or are you trying to make your own using it as a model? [02:26] soreau: sure [02:26] wel my thx is centred now! [02:26] cjdevlin, not sure what the prob is... back in crt days I just mucked with the refresh rate o.O [02:26] making my own as a model [02:27] it works great [02:27] daichi: are you trying to allow all users to have their own web space? [02:27] but the problem is -- the apache command to enable the vhosts - a2ensite only works for sites in the folder '/etc/apache2/sites-available' [02:28] soreau: here you are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458568/ [02:28] problem. if i set xchat in Startup Application, the tray icon fail to show, and can't switch back to xchat once you minimize to tray icon ~ any fix for that ? [02:28] wodKa: have you attempted to fresh install 10.04? [02:28] maxwellian: I was wrong, I meant "synaptic" in my answer. I cant start "synaptic" via a normal link, if I do it I get "synaptic" working as unprevileged ... any idea? in more, what is the "update manager"? Do you mean the "Ubuntu software center"? [02:29] daichi: So you're trying to make the folders under /etc/apache2/sites-available/ symlink to folders in your home directory? [02:29] soreau: my adapter does not have enough memory... ;( [02:29] Scunizi: yes, 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04. all give me the same problem [02:29] so teh vhost gets created in /home/USER/www-config/sites-available/VHOST which creates a symbolic link to /etc/apache2/sites-available/sites-available [02:29] greezmunkey: Yea, that's ati rage, probably over 10 years old. It is not capable of running compiz [02:29] sevenseeker: for anyone to be able to help you with your issue we have to follow the format of: 1) this is the goal 2) i tried this - then tell us what happened vs what you expected [02:29] wodKa: and since I'm late to the party.. what is the problem? [02:29] maxwellian, i figured out, to solve my problem i can click "use this connection only for resources on its network" on gnome-network-manager. This only applies to my user though, and squid is running under proxy. Do you know how can i do the same but with the system account "squid" [02:29] soreau: yeah, I gave it hell trying though! [02:29] daichi: If I'm understanding it properly, you have those links backwards. [02:30] sevenseeker: even though there isn't a fancy automatic gui, there is usually a 'simple' way to achieve what people are looking for [02:30] Scunizi: everything freezes and processes running stop (wifi, downloads, music, etc) after about 30 seconds of inactivity. moving the mouse or any other kind of user input makes it snap out [02:30] greezmunkey: heh. nowadays, nearly all ati cards that are compiz capable work with the default radeon driver [02:31] in my main sites-available folder (/etc/apache2/sites-available) i have another folder in it -- which is the symbolic link of the sites-available folder in "/home/user/www-config/sites-available" [02:31] wodKa: anything show up on dmesg? [02:31] cjdevlin: optimistically I agree, its just that I am clueless in this domain... however, I will say that xrandr has brought me success on various netbooks (with my 'dynamic' requirement) [02:31] Scunizi: i don't know what i'm looking for but theres nothing obvious sticking out to me [02:31] can i set my left/right mouse botton to snap to the centre of my screen [02:31] anyone know a good how to on setting up ircd-hybrid with hybserv? having a few issues getting them to play nicely together. [02:31] FabParma: try making the link 'gksudo synaptic' === macode|afk is now known as macode [02:32] that symbolic link folders content should copied to the main sites-available folder, instead of into another folder [02:32] greezmunkey: The good news is, that you can get a card made in this past century that can run compiz for next to nothing [02:32] daichi: i believe maxwellian is correct, symbolic links don't create directories: they are just pointers [02:32] soreau: yeah, this is a Dell 600SC that I got for free, so I'm cool withit. I was given an Ultium 2 tape drive recently, and a compatible adaptec scsi board (that actually works in this 600 - also free) so, all in all I'm doing ok. === kull_ is now known as SolomonKane [02:32] hey everyone [02:32] greezmunkey: neat [02:32] so, instead of having, /etc/apache2/sites-available/sites-available/VHOST, it should be /etc/apache2/sites-available/VHOST [02:32] wodKa: should be at the tail end of the file.. and if it's not looking like a sore thumb then probably doesn't show there.. Is this a home built machine, store bought, desktop or laptop? [02:33] the directory exists [02:33] Alan502: I'm sorry, that's even less obvious to me. :( [02:33] sevenseeker: is your goal to get a monitor/lcd setup working on a computer that you wife/grandmother is going to be using? [02:33] soreau: free computer, free operating system, fix the bugs, next? Use it guilt free :) [02:33] Scunizi: store bought gateway laptop, ran 8.04 and 8.10 fine as well as vista [02:33] I've got a training video that I bought and downloaded, and I used devede to encode it...and brasero to burn it. It won't play on my magnavox cheapy from walmart... [02:33] where does pcmanfm get its ' installed application' list from? [02:33] Is there any way to specify the region code either when burning or encoding the dvd? [02:33] daichi: /etc/apache2/sites-available/VHOST should be a symlink to the VHOST in your home directory. [02:33] shouldn't it set it to any region? [02:34] wodKa: vista isn't a good comparison.. 8.04 & 8.10 are.. the question is what's changed enough to give the machine a headache.. [02:34] Anybody know how to fix Ubuntu 10 so that I don't have to redo my compiz settings every time I log in? It loses them on reboot every time - yet once I re-enable effects in the appearance menu, everything comes back and I just need to re-enable desktop cube/rotate cube [02:34] Alan502: I don't think you can set up per-user networking. [02:34] the script creates the VHOST in teh home folder -- i want to link it to the /etc/apache2/sites-available folder [02:34] this only happens on one machine, and I'm not sure why - I use the same compiz setup on others, this one has just been upgraded thru more versions of ubuntu [02:34] !who | daichi [02:34] daichi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:34] ah... [02:34] is pal used in europe and ntsc used in the us? [02:34] daichi: You are not understanding what a symlink is. [02:35] dive-o: Install simple-ccsm package, then select Custom from gnome-appearance-properties (sys>prefes>appearance>visual effects) [02:35] wodKa: could be a touchpad thing.. maybe ACPI... AH! do you have a separate /home directory? [02:35] maxwellian: the script creates the VHOST in teh home folder -- i want to link it to the /etc/apache2/sites-available folder [02:35] dive-o, may be try purge and reinstalled? [02:35] antonio_: you see, the actual DVDCSS key resides in a part of the DVD that is blanked out on consumer DVDR's so there is no CSS and therefore region code is kinda pointless [02:35] daichi: A symlink does not copy or move anything around. [02:35] daichi: It's like a shortcut in Windows. [02:35] wildbat: purge and reinstall compiz? [02:35] Scunizi: not that i know of, everything on the install was default. clean format and install [02:35] antonio PAL is for anyone in eropa [02:35] dive-o, yes [02:35] maxwellian, ok thanks :) [02:35] Guess I could try that, I was hoping there was a better answer [02:35] dive-o: reinstalling compiz will effectively accomplish nothing [02:35] ok un214: if I burned it as pal would that keep it from playing on a player here in the us? [02:36] soreau: that's my suspicion as well [02:36] antonio_ yes [02:36] wodKa: so no separate home with old stuff lying around.. well.. that makes it more difficult.. what's the make and model of the gateway? [02:36] daichi: What you want to happen is that when you run that Apache setup utility, it will look in the /etc/.../sites-available/VHOST and will FOLLOW the symlink back to your home directory. [02:36] wodka: haha...thanks [02:36] soreau: I'm wondering if my config is just old enough that the newer gnome doesn't like saving it, or something similar [02:36] antonio_: maybe but a computer player would be able to play it anyway even if the hardware player couldn't [02:36] dive-o, soreau it work for me at least [02:36] wodKa: DOH! what's the model of the gateway [02:36] dive-o: Install simple-ccsm package, then select Custom from gnome-appearance-properties (sys>prefes>appearance>visual effects) then you might want to close all windows and go to sys>prefs>startup applications>options and click Remember Currently Running Applications [02:36] un214: explains why it works on my comuter :D [02:36] computer [02:36] antonio PAL is for anyone in eropa [02:36] antonio PAL is for anyone in eropa [02:37] antonio_: also consider that some cheap/old dvd players don't work with dvd+-rw, but may work with dvd+r/dvd-r [02:37] Scunizi: it's a M-153xl [02:37] I don't think Europa has any population [02:37] soreau: trying that now [02:37] dive-o: Also to reset all compiz settings, use ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults [02:37] antonio depends on your hardware [02:37] jarHedless: Europa is a moon of Jupiter, Europe is a continent of Earth [02:38] antonio_: depends on your hardware [02:38] jarHeadless: Europa is a moon of Jupiter, Europe is a continent of Earth [02:38] Scunizi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzQHzIjQaws [02:39] ok, if i understand this -- i have a folder ABC and inside this folder is a file, help. /ABC/help. I want to copy/link the help file to /etc/apache2/sites-available. with the current symb link. it creates the shortcut to the folder so that it appears as /etc/apache2/sitesavailable/ABC/help [02:39] un214: and your point is? [02:39] I thought Europa is where the mysterious onyx monolith from 2001 came from... [02:39] so hwo can i remove the ABC out of the symb link [02:40] i have some dpkg-ed packages on ubuntu, is there a command i do to find all them out? === bburhans_ is now known as bburhans [02:40] daichi: i've been following your thread for a bit, and i still am having trouble figuring out what the goal is. why do you want/need to create virtual hosts from a bash script? the one downloaded directly from the site will work. if you just want to set up web space for many users, that is not what vhosts are for [02:40] greezmunkey, so did I [02:40] want to find out any packages that are not in standard ubuntu repo before I upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 [02:40] i want to have many development sites to play around with. so i want to create vhosts on the fly with a script === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [02:41] dpkg -l can not really tell [02:41] daichi: ln -s /etc/apache2/sitesavailable/help ~/ABC/help [02:41] un214: Hal was a pretty cool character, it was probably running ubuntu ;) [02:41] daichi: Er, sites-available [02:41] let me try that === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:41] I always thought HAL ran AIX [02:41] daichi: Those are not real filenames, obviously. [02:41] un214: er, nevermind, it had sound. [02:41] hopefully this damn dvd will play [02:41] wodKa: most likely it's related to the ATI card.. but I"m guessing.. there have been issues with ATI after a certain release because X.org was updated and the drivers ATI provided were for specific cards only.. Unfortunately I"m no ATI guy.. Nvidia here.. which has always worked well except on my machine with 10.04 ubuntu.. but fine with Kubuntu.. have you tried kubuntu? [02:41] maxwellian: ^^ i know [02:41] greezmunkey: HAL = IBM [02:41] :P [02:42] daichi: the other option is right click and create link [02:42] cjdevlin: i want to get used to the terminal [02:42] soreau: that made it worse. Now not only do I get no window decorations when I login, but it draws my left monitor about 2" off the side of the screen until I go set it to normal again [02:42] un214: That's right! heh, I should rent it again. [02:42] i haven't, i actually read a thread about it on a kubuntu forum though with the same problem. he also had an ati card but no one was able to solve the problem [02:43] daichi: As you should. :) [02:43] gonna try resetting to defaults and giving that a shot [02:43] dive-o: Did you hit the 'remember currently running applications button' after selecting Custom? [02:43] wodKa: I'd betchya a dollar to a donut that it's the ATI card doing it. [02:43] wonderful :/ [02:43] soreau: no, because I'm still trying to get it to forget to start 4 gnome-terminals [02:44] dive-o: You exit out of all other windows first [02:44] wodKa: check the ati site and see what cards are supported by the latest driver for linux.. see if you card is listed.. [02:44] dive-o: Close all windows and go to sys>prefs>startup applications>options and click Remember Currently Running Applications [02:44] right - I mean I don't generally like the "remember running apps" setting - if I want it running, I start it. Why should ccsm be any different? [02:44] dive-o: while compiz is running [02:45] wodKa: then I think there's an ATI driver and one produced by someone else.. checkem' both out to see if they may work.. sorry.. that's about all I can offer. [02:45] dive-o: The problem is there is a bug where after upgrading, it will want to start compiz.real but it does not exist. It needs to be told to start 'compiz' [02:45] made first drum roll sound then sound dies 10.04 [02:46] Is there a way to share pictures in this chat ? I want to explain something to other guys in another channel [02:46] dive-o: It's a ubuntu thing [02:46] soreau: ahh, okay [02:46] And, since i do not speak good english, i would like to comunicate with pictures [02:46] Scunizi: the driver on their site says "Automated installer and Display Drivers for X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, or 7.5" [02:46] soreau: that makes more sense :) I was thinking I probably had some obscure compiz setting somewhere that I'd forgotten about that it just wasn't compatible with [02:46] giving that a try now :) [02:46] osmodivs, what is your native language? [02:46] is one of those the current version of x.org? [02:46] wodKa: yes.. but what cards does it support === macode is now known as macode|afk [02:47] that's on the driver page for the mobility 4000-series driver [02:47] wodKa: the current versioin is 7.1 or above.. not sure which [02:47] help sound [02:47] osmodivs: you can upload a picture to a site and share the resulting link... example: http://img.flashtux.org/ [02:47] wodKa: Why are you trying to install fglrx? [02:47] Europa is one of the smoothest objects in the Solar System hence europe! [02:47] wodKa: On 10.04, the radeon driver should already be working [02:47] soreau: wodka has issues with the computer simply stopping all processes until a key is pressed or the mouse is moved. [02:47] hey you guys...i created a bash script called airnuke.sh and chmod +x airnuke.sh then why i try sudo ./airnuke.sh says cannot open file ....whats going on? [02:48] Scunizi: So the first thing to try is the vesa driver, which is already installed as well [02:48] not fglrd [02:48] Scunizi: This would tell whether the problem is with the graphics driver or not [02:48] jarheadless: I'm using devede to encode the iso again..this time with ntsc. Since I'm playing this on a standalone dvd player, should I have to worry about region codes? [02:48] why isnt my bash script running? [02:49] soreau: let wodKa know.. I've gotta run.. the idea was to verify that the current driver worked on his particular card.. not to replace the driver. [02:49] cannonfodder: because you didn't make it executable [02:49] i did [02:49] I'm new to xchat - How do you not cause an automatic join to #ubuntu? [02:49] sudo chmod +x [02:49] thanks for trying Scunizi [02:49] apparently with this cruddy dvd player you can't make it region free [02:49] wodKa: good luck! === thoffmeyer is now known as thoffmeyer|AFK === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [02:49] to automatically join ubuntu channel right click and add 2 favorites [02:50] wodKa: Can you show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? [02:50] sure [02:50] soreau: that worked perfectly :) thanks! [02:50] antonio_: are you encoding from ntsc to pal? [02:50] dive-o: Cool, gald to help ;-) [02:50] glad, too [02:50] vlad - right click where? [02:50] on the channel name [02:50] the two scariest sounds in starcraft "ghost reporting" "nuclear missile ready" [02:50] left side [02:50] "the program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed." [02:50] never play with sound on at a lan party [02:50] un214: played sc2 yet? [02:50] jarheadless: I downloaded a training video that I bought a few weeks ago.. [02:50] nope [02:51] wodKa: Please use my nick in what you say so I get highlighted here [02:51] just wait till you click on an SCV [02:51] with it being a downloaded avi, is pal/ntsc already embedded on it? [02:51] soreau: sure sorry [02:51] does anyone know how to upload a video to youtube without the quality being really crappy? [02:51] looks fine in totem, crappy on youtube [02:51] robertzaccour: start with the size being really crappy [02:52] tomatto_, how do i fix that? [02:52] heh [02:52] antonio_: well if you bought the thing surely its in the format you need! [02:52] wodKa: So it tells you which package provides glxinfo and you're installing it, right? [02:52] you're using ubuntu? [02:52] tomatto_, yes [02:52] #ubuntu-br [02:52] jarheadless: how can I tell what format its in? [02:53] I don't know if there's a virtualdub download, but it should be able to convert any home made video in any way you want [02:53] soreau: yes apparently i have to add universe or something, im looking for it [02:53] antonio_: it depends on what you downloaded [02:53] wodKa: see sys>admin>software sources [02:53] avi... [02:53] antonio_: avi is pretty common [02:53] wodKa: You can check all five main repos are enabled [02:53] soreau: it's installing [02:53] hey you guys...why is my bash script being stupid...it keeps saying cannot open file.... i did chmod +x airnuke.sh then when i try sudo ./airnuke.sh says cannot open file [02:54] also when I searched for my dvd player to find the region code I found this "DVD with region codes other than 1 or ALL" [02:54] * dive-o ponders - is there a recommended way to get a kerberos ticket upon login? I wasn't planning on kerberizing auth on my workstation, but the first thing I do when logging in is kinit so I can get into other stuff [02:54] soreau: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV630 9581) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL DRI2 [02:55] how would I make it a region 1? can this be specified in either devede or brasero? [02:55] antonio_: so your player is suspect! [02:55] ? [02:55] wodKa: Ok, does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist? [02:55] "The owner’s manuals notes that there are many unplayable discs and these are: DVD-RAM, DVD-audio, CD-I (I think), photo CD, video CD, DVD with region codes other than 1 or ALL" [02:55] antonio_: where are you based europe or usa? [02:55] us [02:56] soreau: no [02:57] antonio_: wheres your player from and wheres your download from? [02:57] player is from the us... [02:58] I downloaded the training video from a us site...while the speaker on the training speaks with an english accent..so methinks it might be encoded in pal [02:58] and the site isn't up anymore, as it was a "special event" - a kind of promotion type thing [02:58] wodKa: How long do these 'stops' happen and can you re-describe your problem in detail? [02:59] last time I encoded it with devede, I didn't bother to change it to ntsc...but this time around I did...so I'm hoping it will play [03:00] antonio_: I m sure you usa player can play PAL files [03:00] soreau: happens after 10 seconds to a minute or so of inactivity, everything on the screen freezes and processes stop (wifi shuts off, music stops playing, etc) indefinitely until i press a key, move the mouse, flip the wifi button off and on, anything. i put a video of it on youtube if you want to see it in action, its pretty much just that description though. [03:00] antonio_: but yhis is very odd if it cant [03:01] do you think it makes a difference by not encoding at in devede as ntsc? [03:01] soreau: it has happened since 9.04, 9.10, and now 10.04. 8.04 and 8.10 worked great back when i used those. [03:02] jarheadless: the player I have is the Magnavox DP100MW8B [03:02] On the ubuntu download page http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download it states that 64 bit isn't recommended for daily desktop usage, however on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit page it recommends 64bit. Which is should I get (computer is definitely capable of 64bit) [03:02] nanothief: if uyou can do 64bit all is well [03:02] soreau it's on a gateway m-153xl laptop, tried both 32 and 64-bit versions as well [03:03] antonio_: Im a bit lost here now to be honest [03:03] ah ok... [03:03] antonio_: Im in europe so PAL is king! [03:03] jarHeadless: that's good, I currently have more than 4gb of RAM, and it seems to be wasted atm. Are the flash problems mostly solved (heard there was a lot of problems with that in the past)? [03:04] wodKa: ok, sounds like a kernel/driver/module bug. So this has always happened on the same machine, right? Do 'lsmod' then start blacklisting modules starting with the obvious problematic ones like wifi and video, then maybe even some audio driver or any other strange module could cause the issue [03:05] how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3 [03:05] nanothief: well Im running 64bit flash for the last few months with no problems [03:05] how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3? [03:05] !patience | anthony_ [03:05] anthony_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:06] jarHeadless: great well thanks for the help [03:06] how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3? [03:06] anthony_: Please do not repeat to quickly. [03:06] nanothief: I didnt really help much but np :) [03:06] how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3? [03:06] soreau how do you blacklist modules? [03:07] anthony_, 5.10? i don't think it is supported anymore [03:07] jarheadless: I thought it might have been the type of dvds I used...so I tested the same dvd type (sony dvd+r) of another movie..and it worked... [03:08] antonio_: ok well thats good! [03:09] Hi, I just tried to boot the 2.6.32-23-generic kernel on Ubuntu 10.04 - it was working fine last night, but when I tried to boot into it today, it wouldn't boot, so I tried to boot into recovery mode. No dice - it throws a segfault error 6 in libc-2.11.1.so [03:09] I did some searching for the error on Google, and apparently it's a bug in plymouth. I was wondering, has anyone else had this error, and if so, is there a fix? I can provide logs if needed. [03:09] My wireless card is not recognized. Here are the details http://paste.ubuntu.com/458571/ Could somebody help me trouble shoot this issue? === DaZ is now known as Guest68904 [03:09] antonio_: so maybe it wasnt a PAL verses NTSC problem (but it dosent matter really) [03:09] By the way, this issue does not happen in 2.6.32-22-generic. [03:10] spiol78, ifconfig wlan0 up [03:10] eth1 is for ethernet interfaces. [03:10] LJRuff - tried that [03:10] spiol78, Is your wireless light on? [03:11] is there any terminal command to eject a disc from a dvd/cd player? [03:11] ABBADON: you can search on launchpad.net to see if a bug has been filed and any possible work arounds/fixes [03:11] LJRuff - it doesn't have a light :( [03:11] How to run file.sh directly in the terminal skipping the ask if I want to display it etc? [03:12] IdleOne: Thanks, will do. Is there any way to fix any broken packages in 2.3.32-23 from another kernel version? [03:12] antonio_, eject ? or umount [03:12] never mind, found it ;) [03:12] LJRuff - the laptop doesn't have a light to tell if its on or off [03:12] ABBADON: i'm a proponent of hanging-back/reverting on a minor kernel upgrade if it causes problems. Stick with the one that works (unless you are into the debugging) The [03:12] spiol78, one moment [03:12] LJRuff - did you see the dmesg errors [03:12] soreau: ran out of time to play with this tonight, thanks for your help [03:12] spiol78, yes, I am working on it now. [03:13] LJRuff - thanks [03:13] Hello everyone. Is there a way to manually fetch the firmware that b43-fwcutter downloads? I don't have wired access on the ubuntu machine. [03:13] thune3: Ok, so stick with the working kernel for now, then. Am I still able to use the patched Intel drivers I got from the PPA mentioned in the release notes for 10.04? [03:14] so I have this dvd that wont play on my dvdplayer...is there any software that can tell me what region it is burned as? [03:14] @antonio_ if the cd/dvd is stuck, wine eject gets the bugger out [03:14] spiol78, you can try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2586 [03:14] LJRuff - ok [03:14] does sfill preserve files that haven't been deleted? [03:14] corstar: already got it, thanks [03:15] LJRuff - I think that has potential... I am trying it now [03:15] ABBADON: i asusme so, those drivers were published two weeks ago. [03:16] antonio_: were you having hardware issues? [03:16] with my standalone one? [03:17] Or, yet, is there anyway to get wireless working without having any type of wired connection? [03:17] shpook, depends on if you have the firmware available [03:18] antonio_: yeah I guess [03:18] LJRuff: well, from what I've gathered, b43-fwcutter is supposed to fetch the firmware, but it needs a network connection. :/ [03:18] thune3: Ok, just making sure. Those drivers solved my shutdown issue, which is good, but I just wanted to make sure they don't depend on the newest kernel version. Thank you thune3 and IdleOne for your help. [03:19] well, since I have this dvd that wont play on the standalone, I'd like to see if I can tell what region the dvd is encoded in... [03:19] shpook, What card are you using? [03:19] LJRuff: Broadcom 4306 [03:19] hello everyone, would someone here be able to help me reproduce a fairly annoying bug I believe I've found? [03:20] I can reliably recreate it on my machine [03:21] shpook, is the machine connected to the internet? [03:21] LJRuff - I still have the error [03:21] spiol78, lsmod | grep -i net [03:21] LJRuff - nothing returned [03:22] Hi [03:22] LJRuff: not at all, I only have wireless available. iwconfig shows wlan0, but ifconfig doesn't. [03:22] shpook, is the wireless light on? [03:22] spiol78, hmmm, one moment while I look around [03:22] LJRuff: Yessir, I've been bit by that bug before. :D [03:22] antonio_: maybe you should invest in a region free player! [03:22] LJRuff - no problem... I have been looking all day [03:23] shpook, Do you have wpa? [03:23] jarheadless: yeah I know, but in the meantime, I simply want to find out what the region is of this dvd that I just burned.. [03:23] is this possible? [03:23] can someone here (in their spare time) set their screensaver to come on in a short time (like 5 minutes or something) and then click on applications (or any other menu) and leave with the menu open? Whenever I have a menu open, the screensaver doesn't ever seem to start [03:23] LJRuff: No, it's a completely open network, nothing special, no security, no MAC filtering, nothing. [03:24] Does anyone know any open source web mail service? [03:24] shpook, iwconfig wlan0 essid "enter wireless ssid here" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [03:24] bitphazer, what do you mean? [03:24] so.. how old/ancient/etc is Ubuntu 8.04 in the scheme of things? for a handful of reasons I need to run vmware server on a box, and afaik, that's the latest ubuntu that's officially supported [03:24] shpook my bad [03:24] shpook, don't use that [03:24] An hotmail alternative i.e. [03:25] shpook, iwconfig wlan0 essid "enter wireless ssid here" [03:25] that one [03:25] bitphazer, you could set up a server and run squirrel mail or roundcube on it [03:25] is that what you are asking? [03:25] denon: 8.04 was released in April of 2008 (that's where the numbers come from). It's an LTS, and is supported for three years on the desktop (Until April of 2011) and five on the server. 10.04 is the most recent LTS (being released in April of this year) for comparison. [03:25] Oh, yes! [03:25] LJRuff: "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted." [03:26] shpook, sudo it [03:26] Flannel: hmm.. this would be server, of course. I assume the 64-bit ver would easily support 12GB and a 3ware card.. seems to me the 3ware support was mostly fixed in 6.x [03:26] spiol78, did this happen after a kernel update? [03:27] Does anybody know good resources/tutorial for how to build php website that can easily be scaled onto multiple servers - I am starting a rebuild and want to keep the scale solution in mind from the start but I have no experience in amking a website work across a server farm situation [03:27] denon: Yes on the 12GB, I have no idea on the 3ware card [03:27] LJRuff - no... I was playing around with aircrack [03:27] spiol78, has it worked before? [03:27] trent: You might try ##php [03:27] hello [03:27] !hi | crunchbang [03:27] crunchbang: 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! [03:27] josephnexux, are they in the ubuntu repository? [03:27] antonio_: Region codes are a permanent part of the disc so where did yourv disc come from? [03:27] shpook, if it works then dhcpcd wlan0 and you're good to go [03:27] LJRuff: I knew that. :) It went through, but to no avail. nm-applet lists Wireless Networks as "device not ready" [03:28] ah, so blank disks already have a region code set? [03:28] LJRuff - Yes... I worked perfect. Any wireless card I put in the laptop doesn't work. It also effects my other Ubuntu partition. [03:28] Flannel: is the ubuntu server disc a live cd as well? or is that just the desktop stuff? [03:28] spiol78, any wireless card you put into the computer fails to work??? [03:28] josephnexus: Just hoping that there will be something ready [03:28] LJRuff - I had this problem before and the solution was to boot into Windows, but I don't use Windows anymore [03:29] bitphazer: i don't understand... I could be getting lost in the overall business of the channel, go ahead and PM me pls [03:29] LJRuff - Correct, my PCMCIA card won't work in that laptop, but works in other laptops [03:29] denon: No, just the desktop CD is a liveCD, the alternate and server CDs are just installers (and rescue CDs) [03:29] spiol78, same here. = / I won't touch windows. Put in a card and then reinstall ubuntu is the only thing I can think of. Otherwise it's beyond my capabilities to help. Sorry [03:29] Flannel: nod, k thanks [03:29] LJRuff: Don't have dhcpcd installed. Always a wall. :) [03:29] oh woop yes thanks Flannel [03:30] jarheadless: its a blank dvd that I bought here in the us...are blank dvds already setup with certain region codes? [03:30] LJRuff - Thanks for your help. I am trying to avoid installing again, but I might have to. [03:30] shpook, you're going to need to hook that machine to a network via wire then. [03:30] antonio_: NO! [03:30] josephnexus: No, you are understand exactly what I say! [03:30] spiol78, Sorry! But sometimes that's the only thing we can really suggest. I know reinstalls suck. = / [03:30] ok, thats what I thought.. [03:30] Are you looking for a service to have an address? [03:30] or are you trying to set up a server? [03:30] LJRuff - I could install Windows, but I gave that CD away! [03:31] josephnexus: And you gave me already the answer, thanks! [03:31] What I want to do is to test the dvd that wont play on the player...is there any software that will tell you what region code it has on it? [03:31] hey, why isn't truecrypt in the repositories? [03:31] ok, bitphazer, glad I could help [03:31] spiol78, =P [03:31] LJRuff - Something in the Windows boot process solves it [03:31] ;-) [03:31] LJRuff: I had a feeling you would say that. I'll put it to the side and try to bring it to work Wednesday. :) Thanks very much for the help, regardless. [03:31] spiol78: which card? === audumla is now known as audumla|afk [03:32] shpook, yw [03:32] crunchbang, intel 2100 [03:33] crunchbang - any card [03:33] crunchbang - http://paste.ubuntu.com/458571/ [03:33] I just installed 10.4 and I made sure to install the de-css libraries and w32codecs packages but I still have very bad image data corruption playing a dvd. I even ripped the dvd to a .iso file and mounted it and played it direct from the hard drive with the same blocky corruption. [03:33] is there something I need to do to get dvd playback working on 10.4? [03:34] crunchbang - the weird thing is that it effects the other partition of Ubuntu [03:34] Hi everyboby [03:34] spiol78: this is wireless right? why eth1? [03:34] vlc plays choppy and has multi-colored blocks intermixed with good video data, movie player reports an error and fails to play anything. [03:35] C4colo, I had the same problem, I tried differnt player like mplayer, gnome player, and found that different ones would play blocky bad graphics and some woujldn't. [03:35] antonio_: you need to explain more [03:35] crunchbang - Yes, it is wireless. The wired works fine. eth1 is what it was assigned. It happens on my PCMCIA ath0 card [03:35] crunchbang - its actually wlan0 [03:36] Sego, do you know which one worked and which would you suggest I try? I have the default movie player app and vlc now. That is all I tried [03:36] spiol78: what happens with sudo iwlist scan? [03:36] apt-get mplayer for one [03:36] jarheadless: when I encoded the dvd with devede, I think it had pal set on it automatically...so I'm encoding another one with ntsc selected to see if it makes a differece... [03:36] try the ubuntu rep as well, good stuff in there. [03:36] ok, doing so now [03:36] hello all [03:36] please someone tell me how to run database_installer.sh [03:36] ;( [03:36] what I want to do, is to test the dvd that was encoded with the pal setting..to see what region the dvd is [03:36] antonio_: you seem to me to be running aroud in circles [03:36] ne7work: sh database_installer.sh [03:37] crunchbang - Interface doesn't support scanning - eth1 and lo... not wifi listed [03:37] spiol78: what chipset is this supposed to be? [03:37] crunchbang - eth0 not eth1 [03:37] dive-o and says me can't open.. [03:37] ne7work: what's the exact error? [03:37] spiol78: the wlan0 interface isn't setup because there is no driver [03:37] sh: Can't open datebase_installer.sh [03:38] crunchbang - intel and atheros [03:38] Im having a problem where I need to remove this in iptables and change RETURN to ACCEPT RETURN tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:5001 [03:38] I thought you said it was database_installer.sh, not datebase_installer.sh [03:38] :) [03:38] crunchbang - it acts like all wireless interfaces are dead [03:38] dive-o and now what [03:38] i don't understand you [03:39] you asked how to run database_installer.sh, then said datebase_installer.sh wasn't found [03:39] datebase and database are two different words... [03:39] ftfy [03:39] crunchbang - did you see the dmesg errors? http://paste.ubuntu.com/458571/ [03:40] let me look - was googling your card [03:41] Backup solution question: I am new to Ubunto - migrated last week from Vista and very happy, I understand I can easly rsync my home directory as a bacup solution, howvere is there a recommened way to do backup such that if I kove HD I don't have to reinstall all programs again [03:41] how do i remove the system tray icon in opera 10.6 [03:41] spiol78: does the adapter need to be activated in the bios? This is built-in adapter? [03:42] so many people [03:42] dive-o can you help me with l2 server? [03:42] how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3? [03:42] nevermind I guess I fixed it already since the media server showed up [03:42] crunchbang - I have checked the bios. Turned it off and on... no dice [03:43] how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3? [03:43] ubnunt ubuntu 5.10 ;/ ? [03:43] are you sure its ubuntu 5.10 ? [03:43] yes [03:43] crunchbang - I had this issue before on a different distro on different hardware. The solution was to boot into Windows. [03:44] I have a samba share running on Ubuntu 10.04, but for some reason it's impossible to access.. Every time I try and connect, it prompts for the password and user -- I enter the correct info, but it just prompts for the info again and again [03:44] crunchbang - I didn't have to do anything with the Linux install. Just boot into Windows. [03:44] spiol78: lets check the pci id# [03:44] Any ideas? [03:44] Samual, what are the permissions on the samba share? [03:44] crunchbang - how do I do that? [03:45] spiol78: lspci -v and look for your adapter info [03:45] Samual, samba interacts directly with the users of the system, so the "users" on the system need to have access to the folder you're sharing out via samba. [03:45] Roasted, not sure, I just added it to share from Nautilus -- It used to work previously a long time ago [03:45] spiol78: looking for a number letter combo 123:abc [03:45] Samual, where is the share located? [03:45] Roasted, the share is on a mounted storage drive (Not the main hard drive) [03:46] Samual, what is the path of the drive === audumla is now known as audumla|afk [03:46] - /media/Storage/ [03:46] crunchbang - where do I look? [03:46] Samual, what are the permissions, owner, and group ownership to that folder [03:46] I'm sure the user has access, as I use files from it all the time? [03:46] spiol78: in a terminal type "lspci -v" [03:46] Samual, well, let's make sure before we dive in further :) [03:46] dose someone know something i can download to make rap beats [03:47] spiol78: look for wireless adapter [03:47] crunchbang - sorry... missed that one [03:47] crunchbang - I am there [03:47] Owner is my user, "create and delete files" -- But hmm, it says under Others "none" [03:47] Samual, its fine if it says none under others, AS LONG AS your user is owner or group. [03:47] I'm owner and group, so [03:47] Samual, in fact, its a good thing to have nothing (or at the very least, read only) permissions as "all others" for security reasons. [03:48] crunchbang - 02:03:0 [03:48] Samual, and "you" are the user in question, right? [03:48] Yes [03:48] Samual, do you have a samba user that matches your ubuntu user? [03:48] spiol78: try this instead "sudo lshw - C network" [03:48] s [03:48] Samual, aka, you need a "samba" user on top of your system user. [03:48] Hi dears, i have a probleme In the Ubuntu netbook edition, i loose Applications menu content === miguel_ is now known as Guest50249 [03:48] I didn't set up any samba user, Roasted [03:48] Samual, hm, I always do. [03:48] Whats the default color saturation in the background of xfce?? [03:48] Roasted, mind helping me set that up then? [03:49] Samual, I didnt think samba would work WITHOUT a samba user... [03:49] Samual, absolutely. [03:49] samferry, are you using a GUI application to set up samba shares, etc? [03:49] oops [03:49] Samual, * [03:49] Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:49] Roasted, yes, Properties > Share [03:49] it seams a beug, bc i can't edit anymore Principale Menu editor [03:49] Samual, that's sharing via nautilus, not necessarily through a samba gui utility. [03:49] crunchbang - trying something... I will try that in a sec [03:50] Samual, I'm going to just give you a command to run to add the user, alright? Afterwards, I'll direct you to a samba GUI tool I recommend. Very easy to use, manage, etc. [03:50] Samual, what is the name of your user? Is it by chance, samual? [03:50] Roasted, Haha yes, samual. [03:50] Samual, run this: sudo smbpasswd -a samual [03:50] can anyone help me with an audio issue? [03:50] Samual, it'll ask for your root pw, type it. Then it'll ask for your samba password. [03:51] unexpected operator? [03:51] what is that? [03:51] Samual, you can make your samba password anything. To be honest, I use the same password as I do for my system. [03:51] Samual, so I have "jason" on Ubuntu, but I at one time ran sudo smbpasswd -a jason too and added a "samba" user. [03:51] crunchbang - did it lshw -C network [03:51] crunchbang - what do you need? [03:51] Roasted, okay, added [03:52] Samual, then try on your windows box to connect to it. If it doesn't work, no problem, there's another thing we can try . [03:52] I am installing ubuntu server; partitions /home and swap are to be encrypted. can I enter a key remotely (ssh) to allow access to /home and swap in the event of powerfailure/reboot? [03:52] hey guys, I can't resume after sleep, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, do you have any idea about this problem, thx in advance [03:52] Roasted, aha, it worked. [03:52] spiol78: missed lshw -C [03:52] Samual, I honestly don't know how it worked before :P [03:52] spiol78: can you pastebin lspci -v output [03:52] Samual, I always thought you needed samba users + ubuntu users to "play together" for it to actively work. [03:52] Whats the default color saturation in the background of xfce?? [03:52] crunchbang - ok... it will take a minute [03:53] Samual, there's a few things I'd liket o point out that may help you in the future, though... assuming you have another 5 minutes to spare? [03:53] Roasted, thanks mate -- So what is that tool you recommended for samba? But well, I don't know how it worked before either :P It was always flakey before [03:53] Samual, youre on 10.04 right? [03:53] Roasted, sure. and yes i'm on 10.04. [03:54] Samual, fire up software center and search for "samba". The 2nd option that comes back with the sub heading "create, modify, and delete samba shares". Download that quick. [03:54] Samual, its a very simple, basic, easy to use tool for samba if you just want to set up quick home sharing. [03:54] I never use software center, too slow -- What is the package name precisely? [03:54] Samual, system-config-samba in synaptic. [03:54] Ah [03:55] Samual, you on an old box or something? Software center is relatively snappy over here. :P [03:55] Roasted, nah, it's just buggy. Some times I can't install apps through it either, it will just freeze. -- I also don't have compositing right now, which adds to slowness. [03:56] Samual, *shrug*. Can't say I ever had a problem with it. I still prefer hitting up terminal for apt-get but software center is a pretty decent app as far as I can tell. [03:56] i need help [03:56] Samual, did you manage to get that package, though? [03:56] how can i make raps beats on linux what do i need to download [03:56] Roasted, I normally just use the terminal for everything -- I may seem like a relatively oblivious user to Samba, but i've been using Linux for years ^_^ [03:57] is there anyone available that can help me figure out why i can't hear any audio on ubuntu? I am new to the system and have tried various fixes I found online but nothing has worked. It's a Sony Vaio. [03:57] But, yeah I got it [03:57] Samual, very nice. I'm a big fan of terminal too. [03:57] Samual, hit up System - Admin - Samba. That's the gui tool you just downloaded. [03:58] Samual, if you hit preferences and then samba users, you can add users here. This is the equivalent of "sudo smbpasswd -a samual" that you ran a few minutes ago. [03:58] Roasted, oh the other reason for slowness is my swap file by the way -- I forgot to remove it earlier, so the kernel keeps aggressively swapping things when I have 3gb+left to spare [03:58] Samual: can you help me out [03:58] Samual, whats nice is, you can quickly add new shares if you hit the plus sign on the main page. Additionally, once you hit the plus sign and add the path of your directory to share, you can set share name, description, and whether or not you want it to be writable + visible. [03:59] steven__, what's the problem? [03:59] Samual, then, under the "access" tab you can pick and choose what users you want to have access to that share. Even if your Linux permissions are 777 on the folder you're sharing, Samba would restrict them at a user level if you have restricted them from access via this menu. [03:59] Samual: what do i need to down load to make rap beats [03:59] spiol78: hows it going? [04:00] Samual, This is very nice, because my computer has extra drives in it to act as a backup server. I don't want my parents to stumble across my brother's backed up pictures, documents, etc, so I said only curtis can have access to curtis, only tyler can have access to tyler, etc, so that way things are securely separated. [04:00] Sego, thank you, mplayer can play it but I had to symlink /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd [04:00] Samual, all of these changes you make in this simple tool directly change the config file for samba, which is located in /etc/samba/smb.conf if you ever wanted to check it out. I used to make changes in the GUI and then re-check the config file, just to see how this GUI tool adds/removes entries [04:00] Roasted, interesting, thanks for this tool too, although i'm the only one who will be accessing the data ^_- -- Unless my wife gets curious, but still no issues. [04:00] and it did not show up in the menus, I have to run it from the command line, but it does decode the dvd video well. [04:00] please someone help me with l2 server :( [04:01] Samual, well, keep it in mind, because its extremely handy. My ubuntu box has several shares on it besides backup documentation. One for media, one for "guest" access in case my buddy comes over and wants to transfer some files to my box and doesnt have a flash drive, etc. [04:02] steven__, not sure, I don't really know any good opensource programs for that.. Most of the things i've seen are for e.g. techno songs though [04:02] I would like to install samba but i am afraid that it takes too much resource. do you know more or less the real amount of resouces used when is idle? [04:02] thaank [04:02] Samual, the beautiful thing about samba is it works with mac, linux, and windows... and since I have 3 windows boxes here, 1 linux laptop, 3 linux desktops, and a mac laptop, everything plays nicely. :) I can stream music to my old ibook laptop in the garage from my ubuntu box. [04:02] FabParma, let me see if it shows up in my resources listing, 1 second [04:03] Er, he left... [04:03] I was going to recommend some apps.. [04:03] Roasted: thanks [04:03] =.= [04:03] crunchbang - almost there [04:03] FabParma, its not under system monitor. Know any terminal apps to find what samba may be using? [04:03] Roasted, yeah, the computer I was accessing this with was actually an Ubuntu laptop [04:03] Samual, yeah, if youre doing linux to linux and thats IT and thats all itll ever be, NFS is nice to use too. [04:04] crunchbang - thanks for waiting http://paste.ubuntu.com/458596/ [04:04] 不错嘛 [04:04] Samual, I like a wide variety of support though, since I have windows, mac, and linux boxes, so samba is really a sure-fire win. [04:04] Nah I have windows computers as well [04:04] Roasted: not present typing "top"? [04:04] So. [04:04] I like Ice cream [04:04] FabParma, Im not seein git. I have top running now [04:04] ？ === bob_ is now known as RKMay [04:04] imruning [04:04] Anyway, gotta go, thanks again [04:04] FabParma, I really, really doubt samba uses much resources though [04:04] Samual, no problem man. Enjoy! [04:05] FabParma, I've ran samba on pretty old laptops. Its just a file sharing protocol. [04:05] spiol78: "sudo modprobe ipw2100" [04:05] FabParma, the only "hit" my computer takes is when somebody is writing a massive amount of data to my computer as I'm using it. Then it's just regular resource wear as the hard drives write the data that the user is p ushing to their share. [04:05] crunchbang - it doesn't return anything [04:06] spiol78: its not supposed to [04:06] my nmap is saying "Warning: Hostname locahost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 8.15.7.107." what does this mean ?? [04:06] FabParma, but I have 3rd party apps for those guys to auto-backup at 4 am, and it only lasts a few seconds, so I never see any performance hit :) [04:06] spiol78: "lsmod" and look for ipw2100 === UrLame is now known as Mqueue [04:06] crunchbang - check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/458571/ lsmod is towards the bottomm === hebert is now known as hebertsilva [04:07] crunchmod - ipw2100 69768 0 [04:07] spiol78: in a terminal type "lsmod" and look for ipw2100 - we are verifying the driver got loaded [04:07] Roasted: a: ps command select all processes on a terminal, including those of other users [04:08] can anyone help me with nmap showing 2 ips please :) [04:08] FabParma, still not seeing nay output [04:08] FabParma, yet my samba is running. My virtual machines can see my shares, etc. [04:08] crunchbang - it is there ipw2100 69768 0 [04:08] when i run steam through wine it works but when i try to run coutner striek source it stays stuck at the preparing to launch window [04:08] does anyone know why that may be [04:09] spiol78: Now in a terminal type "ifconfig" and tell me what interfaces you see now [04:09] crunchbang - lo and eth0 [04:09] crunchbang - ifconfig -a returns the same [04:09] spiol78: are you using the computer right now to chat with me? [04:10] crunchbang - no [04:10] spiol78: did you compile anything yourself? [04:10] crunchbang - no [04:11] Roasted: ps aux | less this is the good one [04:11] Since installing Ubuntu yesterday on my Sony Vaio, I have not been able to hear any audio. I have tried basic fixes such as adjusting the channels/volume levels in terminal, updating, etc. It seems to be that my driver is not supported. Is there any solutions, such as a way to download a different driver? [04:12] how do i remove the system tray icon in opera 10.6 [04:12] spiol78: are you using gnome? [04:12] Roasted: try this, im sure that youll'se samba [04:12] FabParma, theres so much there, and nothing "samba" sticks out. I'm tellin ya though, I run it on old laptops, old desktops, etc.... samba yields no difference in resource usage that I can tell [04:12] server irc.plasa.com [04:12] crunchbang - yes and no... I have 2 partitions with the same issue. One gnome and the other KDE [04:13] spiol78: which one are you working on this problem in? [04:13] crunchband - kde [04:13] Roasted: thank you for your opininion [04:13] spiol78: do you see a network icon on the panel? What does it show? Is wireless enabled according to the icon? [04:13] what is a paste site where i can set a password? [04:14] crunchbang - it doesn't see the wireless [04:14] blendmaster1024: paste site??? [04:14] !iso [04:14] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [04:14] jarHeadless, like pastebin.com but where I can set a password [04:15] spiol78: is there an option to "enable" wireless - there is in the gnome manager via icon [04:15] crunchbang - it feels like the problem is at the lower levels because it effects 2 partitions [04:15] blendmaster1024: pastebin is a public arena [04:15] crunchbang - the gnome wireless indicator will not let me enable wireless. Its grayed out. [04:15] jarHeadless, exactly, I want something where I can set a password [04:16] spiol78: did you say this was a build-in adapter? [04:16] wait nevermind! thanks anyway [04:16] crunchband - built in and PCMCIA... the PCMCIA works fine in my other laptop [04:16] blendmaster1024: password for what? [04:17] spiol78: so you have two adapters - a pcmcia card and a built-in wireless adapter? [04:17] crunchbang - correct... two adapters [04:17] spiol78: and you want to get the build-in one working, i.e Lan2100? [04:18] crunchbang - I want to get both working... I am working on the internal. I think both will be fix if one gets fixed [04:18] Anyone got a clue why right now I can't find an IDE drive in the Ubuntu Install while I can find it in Disk Utility? [04:18] hi [04:18] spiol78: only in the internal has the same chipset/driver as the external [04:19] how can i generate keyboard signals from bash shell ? [04:19] crunchbang - different chipsets. This isn't a chipset issue [04:19] crunchbang - its not your normal wireless issue [04:19] spiol78: definitely not the normal issue :) [04:19] spiol78: what version is the pcmcia card? [04:20] Hi does anybody remember how can i generate keyboard signals from bash shell ? [04:20] crunchbang - this is why I want to fix it. I had this before and I fixed it by booting into Windows and then booting into Linux [04:20] there is a command starting with x but i don't remember .. grrrrrr :( [04:20] crunchbang - its a proxim 8470-wd [04:20] spiol78: that fixed it forever until you installed new linux? [04:20] whatTurtle: xev ? [04:21] crunchbang - that was on a different distro on different hardware [04:21] crunchbang - I was playing around with aircrack and rebooted... then all wireless went dead [04:22] spiol78: never used aircrack.... [04:22] crunchbang - something in the Windows boot process fixed it last time... I don't use windows anymore [04:22] i'm trying to figure out how to upload videos to youtube without the videos losing quality. i converted the ogv with devede, and upload, and its bad quality. am i missing something? is there a screencast program that records in anything besides ogv? [04:22] bastid_raZor, hmmm that one finds the keybord events i want one that binds events... [04:22] crunchbang - I suspect that Windows resets something in the boot and Linux doesn't [04:23] from bash shell.. but probably they would be using the same libraries... [04:23] spiol78: according to the ubuntu wiki, the 2100 should work out of the box .... [04:23] crunchbang - it was working just fine [04:23] spiol78: you were playing with aircrack in kde or gnome? [04:23] crunchbang - kde [04:24] Hi, I have a mobo with 1 sata connector, is it possible to connect 2 hdds to it? [04:24] spiol78: what happens now when you boot gnome? [04:24] Roasted: i found a tool very usefull. if you want try it "sudo apt-get install htop" it swos all process, you can scroll down to see everything an in more pressing f3 you ca searche exactly the process that you are looking for [04:24] bastid_raZor, i think i found it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:24] spiol78: I'm assuming you did not install aircrack in gnome as well?? [04:24] crunchbang - same thing... and its on a different partition [04:24] bastid_raZor, it's xdotool :-) :-) [04:24] spiol78, if you install a DE in crunchbang, then whats the point of crunchbang? [04:25] bastid_raZor, http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/projects/xdotool/ [04:25] crunchbang - gnome is an almost untouched install of the latest Ubuntu release [04:25] hi! [04:25] i am happy now :-) I just typed apt-cache search keyboard :-) ;) [04:25] spiol78: same kernal for both the kde and ubuntu install? [04:25] by guys have a nice day/night whatever :-) [04:26] crunchbang - nope... different kernals [04:26] spiol78: and the lan2100 just worked in gnome as well? [04:26] crunchbang - everything worked perfect... no issues at all [04:26] How can I record the currently playing audio? [04:27] crunchbang - now all wireless is dead in both partitions [04:27] spiol78: I would uninstall aircrack myself [04:27] aurilliance: what are you using to play it? [04:27] crunchbang - its not going to solve it. It only runs when I run it [04:28] mkquist, myspace music [04:28] aurilliance: streaming station? [04:28] aurilliance: i think thats flash [04:28] crunchbang - its lower level... do you know of any lower level tools? Something that can reset the firmware? [04:28] mkquist, yes [04:28] I just want to record what is going to my headphones socket... [04:29] spiol78: you already checked in aircrack-ng room? maybe your cards are stuck in raw mode [04:29] aurilliance: you might find a 'flash get' plugin for your browser... [04:29] I'm running UNR on a Dell Mini 10 - I got wireless to work shortly, but now it's claiming to connect but not actually connecting. Where do I start to diagnose? ping says connect: Network is unreachable [04:29] spiol78: ...hmm... it would have to be another native linux driver for the lan 2100 or something [04:30] Hi I've never used IRC before so bare with me please (and teach me what I'm doing wrong) I have a 10.04 wubi install. It now crashes when it's supposed to be loading grub. When I turn it on it goes to the windows boot loader where I choose ubuntu. It immediately resets at that point with no error messages. I have booted in windows and found that \ubuntu\disks\boot\grub is empty [04:30] aurilliance, i just got here, but r u trying to upgrade to flash 10 on a 64bit? [04:30] MaRK-I - nobody is responding [04:30] Any help [04:30] please [04:30] spiol78: maybe google if the manufacturer has a linux driver you can try [04:30] Zelozelos, nope [04:30] If I recall Wubi doesn't use GRUB. Am I right? [04:30] 1111111111111111111111 [04:30] MaRk-I - raw mode ... I need to look into that [04:30] 2? [04:30] I thought it used GRUB4DOS [04:31] I believe it does or atleast it did when i was using 9.10 [04:31] maybe when I upgraded they made a change. [04:31] crunchbang - I don't think its a driver issue because booting into window and making no changes in linux solves it [04:31] oh dear god ecryptfs [04:31] how do I connect to my wifi on ubuntu-netbook [04:31] It's not decrypting at login [04:31] it's tricky nhasian [04:31] nitram9: Do you have any data on it (Did you just install it) [04:31] er nhandler [04:32] gallifrey: Is there a WIFI icon (Wireless of some sort) on your top panel? [04:32] gallifrey: Double tab-fail [04:32] gallifrey, sorry what was that? [04:32] Ok no I didn't just install it I've been using it for a few months. I just did one of those nearly daily updates and there was an error. Something with a linux header update. [04:32] nhasian: yeah [04:32] MaRk-I - I am googling raw mode... thanks for the tip [04:32] gallifrey, click it [04:33] I didn't record that error unfortunately. [04:33] gallifrey, then click the access point you want to connect to [04:33] she said the pannel is missing [04:33] spiol78: yw just a hunch [04:33] What if it says I've connected but both Firefox and ping can't find anything? [04:33] gallifrey, now ID'm lost [04:33] spiol78: you might want to google aircrack and your Lan2100 and see if others have reported the loss of networking. [04:33] I had restarted initially because it became slow and it also just announced to me that it was goiing to run in low graphics mode. those may be red herrings though [04:33] nitram9, is the old grub still there? can u use that one? that happened 2 me once n i fixed it by uninstalling the new one [04:33] me too [04:34] I'm* [04:34] There is no grub [04:34] I'm worried it was corrupted. [04:34] and so in windows it doesn't show up. [04:34] good thing i never went the wubi route [04:34] ahh...duh u're usin Wubi ;) [04:34] anyways how do i get the ecryptfs to decrypt on login i have my passphrase [04:35] hey guys, if the girl you loved liked to get naked and play at front of other guys, would this make you jealous? yes or no? [04:35] my suspicion is that I just have to get the grub stuff back but I don't know what should be there and what confige I will need. Is there a menu.lst, do I need a grub executable? [04:35] ilumi, #ubuntu-offtopic [04:35] lol [04:35] ilumi wrong room dude, try ubuntu-offtopic rofl [04:36] I told her she should just throw the netbook away [04:36] Zelozelos, beat you to it :) [04:36] or place a timelock on it [04:36] crunchbang - googled that, the dmesg and every other error all day [04:36] gallifrey, if she doesn't want it send it to me [04:36] please just some yes or nos [04:36] NiteSnow: it's like a 4 year old eeepc - 4 gigs [04:36] So does anyone know if there is a page somewhere that lists what should be installed in a 10.04 wubi install. [04:36] can anyone help a newbie with a really annoying problem after my installation of 10.04? my touchpad isn't working at all and nothing works so far :( [04:36] gallifrey, I can do a lot with that :) [04:37] NiteSnow: it takes care of it self, no help needed [04:37] MaRk-I - do you think this will help??? http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airdriver-ng MaRk-I [04:37] inno89: run the command 'sudo jockey' [04:38] I'm new to irc and everythingg is flying by how do I search for comments directed towards me or rather filter for comments to me. [04:38] ah, I love this stuff [04:38] gallifrey: what would that do [04:38] cause it's not even recognizing it [04:38] inno89: it opens a program that searches for proprietary apps [04:38] spiol78: gotta go. Good luck! [04:38] i think it lives in admin or preferences [04:38] spiol78: you know when you typed (i.e. airmon-ng wlan0 start), do the opposite like airmon-ng wlan0 stop [04:38] ok i will try it. thanks [04:38] it looks like a soundcard [04:38] crunchbang - thanks for all the help [04:38] i just installed lampp, everythings goes well until i change the Document root, lampp says, Error 1, bla bla... anyone has a suggestion? thx [04:39] night o/ [04:39] MaRk-I - I rebooted since then... that didn't help [04:40] abid: Can you pastebin the whole error? [04:40] spiol78: can you put it in monitor mode?? [04:40] MaRk-I - nope... the card is not found at all [04:40] MaRk-I - nothing in ifconfig -a [04:41] ouch [04:41] MaRk-I - My other partition doesn't even work!!! [04:41] spiol78: tried the livecd? [04:41] Is there a way to hide the window titlebars displayed at the top of windows by metacity in gnome? they take up a lot of space when you have several windows open [04:42] MaRk-I - thought about that.... I haven't done it yet [04:43] MaRk-I - trying the liveCD now [04:43] sorry i just uninstalled it, and try them one via apt-get. if I didn't miss spell it, it say "I have no idea, try community help" or st. similar [04:43] spiol78: good luck [04:44] i got a problem that i dont know the answer of === DJGB is now known as Unix [04:44] im trying to save a file from a download, then it give me this error [04:44] Error stating file '/home/fuyao/Downloads': No such file or directory === Unix is now known as DJGB [04:45] hey all, is there any sort of gui app to setup MD RAID arrays? [04:45] fuyao, Then the directory doesn't exist. [04:46] should i create one? [04:46] fuyao, if you intend to save there, it'd be a good idea. [04:46] fuyao: sure [04:46] ok thanks guys [04:47] MaRk-I - WOW... THE CARD SHOWED UP [04:47] spiol78: I think it has to do because the card staid in "raw/monitor" mode [04:48] now you have to find out how to get it out of that state [04:48] Is there anyone thinking about my problem and helping me or does no one have any ideas? In otherwords should I just give up here and look somewhere else? [04:48] MaRk-I - booted back into the install... it still doesn't work [04:49] MaRk-I - I think you are right about raw/monitor mode [04:49] nitram9>> what was your question again ? [04:50] spiol78: only aricrack ppl might help, that's all I can think of sorry [04:50] I can't figure out how to use empathy or should just keep using XChat? [04:50] hi [04:51] MaRk-I - thanks for the help... I think you have me going in the right direction [04:51] spiol78: yw [04:52] it's easy what's the problem with it [04:52] Hi...Has anyone else had the Python issue with the current 10.04 image? I tried downloading the ISO from both bittorrent and directly from the Ubuntu site and I get the same issue with both images. When I burn the image to CD and put it in the drive, I get all sorts of "Disc missing" Python errors. And when I try to boot from the burned disc, it starts loading the Ubuntu booter and then says something about not being able to read th [04:52] Anyone here using Openfiler? [04:53] Guess im just dumb [04:53] hey all, I:m trying to convert a video file and I was wondering what happened to VLC:s wizard? Following a guide [04:53] reese: try checking the cd [04:54] I keep hearing how Linux does not require a reboot after updates but my install of Xbuntu needed 3 restarts tonight - what gives? [04:54] just add your account and that should be it [04:55] where r u stuck [04:55] OpenNoob: some things do, most don:t [04:55] Mqueue: I'll try again with more patience [04:55] OpenNoob: depends on what was updated. Kernel upgrades will probably always need a reboot. [04:55] Mqueue: I have a 10.04 wubi install. grub does not load the computer simply resets. when I load windows my ubuntu/disks/boot/grub folder is empty. I suspect everything that was in that folder was corrupted or deleted. how do I rebuild that? was there supposed to be stuff in there to start with? [04:55] u using 10 ubuntu ? [04:55] ok I was just surprised - I dont think it was kernel - is rebooting getting more common as linux progresses? [04:56] OpenNoob: No. :< [04:56] chogydan: the CD is fine...Like I said I've tried burning many times with ISO's from multiple sources. Nothing wrong with my burner or the discs I'm using. (and no I'm not a noob, not just burning the .iso onto the cd by itself). And when I put it in with Windows running, after I keep clicking OK to those Python errors it works. Still get the "can't find disc" errors from the booter though, which is weird because it finds the disc [04:57] Mqueue: Yes 10.04.. it didn't find any channels [04:57] I have say Xbuntu is running nice on this Celeron 1.6 and 512k Dell [04:57] I would just boot from USB but the computer I'm trying to install it on won't boot from USB [04:57] nitram9 i think u didn't install the bootloader when installing ubuntu [04:58] reese, does it support usb booting? [04:58] In Pitivi>Project Settings, what settings should i choose in the "Export to" part at the bottom? It takes a long time to transcode and I wanna make sure I do it right. Thanks in advance. [04:58] nope :( [04:58] reese, check out plop boot cd. [04:58] I'm trying to put recordmydesktop screencasts on youtube [04:58] Hi all. Webmin - Just installed. Error trying to run webmin with Ubunto 10.04 server. Error is "no such file or directory" when run https://localhost:10000 any suggestions? [04:58] reese: is this wubi? [04:58] reese, you put the CD in, fire it up, and itll "force" a usb boot (as long as the usb drive is in of course) and it'll boot accordingly. [04:58] well that's not it since I've been using this for months. but the solution to that problem would probably solve mine. [04:58] quit [04:58] reese, Plop Boot CD - remember it. :P [04:58] gotta go watch fireworks now...bye [04:59] I am having problems with audio on my newly installed Ubuntu. I am using a Sony Vaio and am not getting any audio at all (it worked fine previously in Windows 7). I have tried basic fixes such as adjusting volume levels, using the system controls, etc. Any advice on how I can fix the problem, or, if necessary, switch to an audio driver that Ubuntu can support? [04:59] thanks [04:59] I can't just reinstall because I have tons of un-committed work on that image. [04:59] Any webmin users out there? [04:59] mirskens, by chance, is PCM muted? [04:59] roasted, sorry i am new to this, what is PCM? [05:00] mirskens, you know in windows how in your advanced volume control you have volume in 1 slider, and wav in another slider, and if either is muted, you have ZERO sound? [05:00] yes, Wubi...I can't find a distribution of 10.04 without it? as for Plop - I'll try the CD version. I tried to just do the PLoP boot hack on the other box, but it's got some crazy installation of XP Media Center that I can't find boot.ini on for the life of me [05:00] mirskens, thats kind of like PCM/volume in linux. Two individual sliders, both need to be set appropriately or itll be muted. [05:00] mirskens, its just a quick thought, I have no idea if itll help, but lets make sure... are you on ubuntu 10.04? [05:00] Thanks very much for the help! [05:00] roasted - where can i check the settings for PCM, then? [05:01] roasted, yes i'm on 10.04 [05:01] mirskens, hm, in the GUI I'm not sure where it's located in 10.04. They must have moved it from where I previously remember it. [05:01] !wubi | nitram9 [05:01] nitram9: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [05:01] mirskens, open a terminal and type "alsamixer" and hit enter [05:01] mirskens, you should see several sliders. PCM (for me) is the 2nd slider over. Is it muted? [05:01] nitram9: there are directions on how to boot a livecd and recover with that [05:02] ChogyDan: What does !wubi | nitram9 mean [05:02] ChogyDan: don't use wubi? [05:03] What does "stripped" mean in '~$ file /usr/bin/make; /usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'? [05:03] nitram9: I directed ubottu to send you a message [05:03] Hey the ubuntu updater thingy just ran and gave me this error: http://pastebin.com/fXtbnM3Z [05:03] Wubi is lame..lol..it just sounds lame [05:03] roasted, it says "100<>100" for the PCM slider. [05:03] LinuxFetus, if I remember correctly I got the same error... [05:03] ChongyDan: Ha and what does that mean? sorry I have never used irc before. [05:03] Anyone here using Openfiler? [05:03] mirskens, what does it say for "master" [05:03] LinuxFetus: the graphical updater? [05:04] ChogyDan: Yeah. [05:04] Roasted, master slider says 00 and it has a colored bar running all the way to the top [05:04] what's this? [05:04] !ubottu | nitram9 [05:04] nitram9: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [05:04] now everything seems to runs smooth. I just purge apache2, php5, and mysql-server then reinstall the lampp, change to DocumentRoot again, restart the lampp, and.. goooooall [05:04] ChogyDan: It's a GUI that says "Update Manager" in the title bar. [05:04] mirskens, under the PCM slider, there is an icon just above the 100 <> 100 you saw [05:05] LinuxFetus: mind using a terminal? can you run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [05:05] mirskens, itll either say MM, or have a green square with 00 in it. Whcih is it? [05:05] ChongyDan: oh get it now. [05:05] LinuxFetus: and then pastebin the output [05:05] I tried running sudo jockey, but it did nothing for my touchpad [05:05] roasted, most of the other sliders have either a green square with 00 or MM, but there is no such thing on the PCM slider [05:06] mirskens, ah, for me its the opposite - I have nothing for master, but for pcm I have that option. That's probably because pcm may be listed as your primary audio adjustment device. [05:06] mirskens, let me think a minute... [05:06] mirskens, highlight the master slider, and bring it up to about 30 [05:06] mirskens, then play some sort of audio and see if you hear output [05:07] is there any way for it to search specficailly search for touchpad driver sor something [05:07] ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/r1FqC3f7 Oh yeah one more thing - It told me it couldn't find a menu.lst file in my grub directory and it asked me if I wanted to create one and I said no the first time, but then it kept asking me, so I said yes. [05:07] inno89: I think it is the synaptic driver [05:07] ----Why did my gnomebaker disk burner fail to like the disk I put in?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/GhgeZ40u --- (I tried brasero first.) ----- I can look and see if my new results are the same. [05:08] roasted, no luck with that, still no audio [05:08] mirskens, is there a "MM" under master? [05:08] LinuxFetus: try sudo apt-get update, then repeat the earlier command [05:08] roasted, no, it says 00 in the box and then 30 below that for Master [05:09] mirskens, and PCM has 00 in the box and is maxed? [05:09] is that a good dictionary program for ubuntu that i can install [05:09] ross_, have you checked software center by chance? [05:09] roasted, there is no box for the 00 in PCM, but it does say "100<>100" underneath where that box should be [05:09] mirskens, ahhh thats right. I forgot you said that. [05:10] hey anybody around? [05:10] mirskens, what kind of sound card do you have [05:10] ShadowFoxBiH, theres 1,290 of us aro und [05:10] :P [05:10] lol great I need some help [05:10] ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/F6YA5Nne [05:10] ask away and if anybody can help, they'll chime in. :) [05:10] hi i just uninstalled mythtv and a bunch of other related packages and now my package manager can't find any mythtv package to install except the backend [05:10] just switched to 10.04 and I am having wifi issues [05:10] all i want is the front end [05:10] !ask | ShadowFoxBiH [05:10] ShadowFoxBiH: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:10] ShadowFoxBiH, what card? [05:10] i've tried rebooting and reloading the sources, but to no avail [05:10] realtek [05:11] ShadowFoxBiH, can you see the wireless network? [05:11] yes [05:11] just wont let me connect to it === rabies_ is now known as rabies [05:11] ShadowFoxBiH, by chance, if you remove security, can you connect? (had this issue with an atheros card at one point) [05:11] My touchpad still isn't working, neither for ubuntu 9 or fedora :( [05:11] I havent tried that [05:11] I use wpa2 as security [05:11] people takin my nickname... [05:11] bastards [05:11] because lots of people around me steal internet [05:12] lol [05:12] roasted, it is an Intel 3400 [05:12] ShadowFoxBiH, well, 2 minutes wont hurt. I'd remove security and see if you can connect then. [05:12] mirskens, is this a laptop? [05:12] can i get some help with my issue with my packages not showing up for mythtv? [05:12] annyywhoo, anyone know why when copying a 9.10 cd to a usb drive and running syslinux it wont boot? [05:12] LinuxFetus: doesn't look like there is a problem [05:12] alright let me give it a try [05:12] im using this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:12] roasted, it is a laptop, sony vaio vcpeb11fm [05:12] ShadowFoxBiH, this would at least differentiate if you CAN Connect vs if the security is preventing it [05:12] ChogyDan: Alright, cool. [05:12] alright I can confirm that without the wpa2 enabled it connects [05:12] inno89: I suggest googlin your laptop model and ubuntu, see what other people's experience have been [05:13] what am i doing wrong? =( [05:13] ChogyDan: Tanks. [05:13] ChogyDan: *Thanks. [05:13] i tried that, cant find any [05:13] mirskens, hmm... I'm not too sure bro. All I know to check for is the obvious things (muted, etc) and the PCM + Master, making sure both are NOT muted and both have adequate sound level. [05:13] inno89: what is the model? [05:13] mirskens, for example, when I hit volume up/down, it changes master. AS a result, I leave PCM maxed @ 100 [05:13] ShadowFoxBiH, hmm... okay... what if you clock the security back to standard WPA - can you connect then? [05:13] no [05:14] it's a vaio f12 [05:14] ShadowFoxBiH, so WPA and WPA2 bomb out for ya? [05:14] yeah basically [05:14] should i give wep a try? [05:14] or see if i can find some drivers? [05:14] you COULD... but I had this issue with an Atheros card, and it didnt like ANY security. [05:14] ShadowFoxBiH, did you install restricted drivers? Or was it auto detected? [05:14] auto detected [05:14] most of my peripherals work [05:15] even the touch pad [05:15] ShadowFoxBiH, I don't have much experience with realtek. I went through hell getting my RTL8187B supported. Once 8.10 acme out, it supported it out of box - but around that time, the laptop died. :P [05:15] ShadowFoxBiH, it worked fine in 9.10? [05:15] well someone else said update ubuntu to see if an update will fix the issue let me give that a try [05:15] before I decided to hardwire my laptop [05:15] wait [05:15] lets back up a second [05:16] at any given point in time, did THIS laptop with this realtek card work with wpa2? [05:16] inno89: have you tried the 32bit livecd, rather than the 64bit wubi? === tinlun is now known as 15SAAHG7S [05:16] works with my windows 7 install [05:16] what about linux [05:16] did you ever run an older version of linux and it work [05:16] can anyone please help me with my problem? [05:16] nope just did a fresh install of linux [05:16] nobody is addressing me [05:16] because it works in windows doesnt mean itll work in linux, and vice versa. :P [05:16] chogydan: i havent done that yet but this seems to be a kernal issue from what i read [05:16] I had xubuntu on another laptop [05:16] Ive had stuff work in linux that hardly worked in windows, and other way around at times too. [05:17] Te3-BloodyIron, ok, whats up? [05:17] inno89: are you sure that is the model? f12? [05:17] yeah well I hate windows [05:17] so i upgraded to ub 10.04 [05:17] I used ubuntu up untill my old laptop died [05:17] and i tried to run mythtv-frontend a few minutes ago and it complained about a vdpau issue [05:17] no one understands me either! -o_o [05:17] ShadowFoxBiH, I'm not too sure what else you can do. I know in synaptic there should be a WPA supplicant installed, but I think that comes installed from the get go. [05:17] so i figured hey maybe i should just reinstall the frontend [05:17] ShadowFoxBiH, what exact realtek card is it [05:17] so i removed all the mythtv packages on this system (not my backend) [05:17] Chogydan: try VPCF1. it's referred ot as the f12 too [05:17] and now it's not showing up in my package manager [05:18] no clue i dont even know how to check lol [05:18] Te3-BloodyIron, i have absolutely no idea, but did you search the bugzilla on launchpad? [05:18] i've rebooted and reloaded the sources a couple times, no luck [05:18] ShadowFoxBiH, go to terminal and run "lspci" [05:18] ShadowFoxBiH, at the end there should be 2 network controllers. 1 wired, 1 wireless. [05:18] ShadowFoxBiH, whats the wireless one say [05:18] Te3-BloodyIron, maybe its not in the new repos? [05:18] i've googled it and couldn't come up with worthwhile keywords, i assume it also crawled bugzilla [05:18] but no i have not directly consulted bugzilla [05:18] tertl3: why would they remove mythtv from the repos? [05:19] Te3-BloodyIron, i would search the official docs in launchpad [05:19] Te3-BloodyIron, idk, do you have a better explination [05:19] Chogydan: i've done so much stuff with that xorg.conf file but nothing works, i mean the system doesnt even detect it [05:19] is there anything else i can do in the mean time? [05:19] realtek semi co device 8172 [05:19] rev 10 [05:19] hey, I have a dual boot system with 10.04 and Win 7. Can I use Wine to run programs on my Windows partition? [05:19] Te3-BloodyIron, is there a Mythtv wiki or anyithng? [05:20] this isn't a myth issue, it's an ubuntu issue [05:20] Te3-BloodyIron, official documentation is essentail for these things [05:20] My Netbook does not recognize my Wifi Atheros AR 2427..

[05:21] ShadowFoxBiH, they talk about downloading the driver straight from realtek and installing [05:21] ShadowFoxBiH, worth a shot I suppose [05:21] ChogyDan: f11 was the older model. the f12 came out last week [05:21] thanks roasted you are a lifesaver [05:21] hi === y is now known as Guest44597 [05:21] ShadowFoxBiH, Ive recently become a huge intel fan with wireless with linux. I had a broadcom in my laptop and it would connect to some networks, but not others. [05:22] hi [05:22] Does xfce ONLY use the power management settings for the monitor, or is there a way to use a screensaver with it? The goal is to have it auto-lock my screen and put my monitor to sleep [05:22] ShadowFoxBiH, I bought an intel card for 13 bucks, B G N card brand new on amazon.com. Solved 100% of my problems. [05:22] Hi, When apt-get stucks at setting up acpid. any suggestions ? [05:22] nice [05:22] hey you got any advice on where to get some drivers for an intel HD audio card? [05:22] ShadowFoxBiH, Atheros is real good too from what I understand. But keep in mind if this drives you NUTS and you just want a card that works well, look up what kind of form factor your wireless card is and see if you can grab an intel for a few bucks. [05:23] ShadowFoxBiH, It sucks but, its not Ubuntu's fault that companies put out crappy drivers. Atheros and Intel however have proven themselves to me in the wireless department. Broadcom, however, sucks. Badly. [05:23] My Netbook does not recognize my Wifi Atheros AR 2427.. Any sugestion? [05:23] ShadowFoxBiH, not sure. My audio has always worked out of box. *shrug* [05:23] well it works [05:23] just i know my speakers can go louder [05:23] augusto, can you see the network? [05:23] ShadowFoxBiH, maybe your PCM is low. [05:23] how do i check? [05:24] ShadowFoxBiH, run alsamixer in terminal and check the levels of PCM and Master. They both need to be @ adequate settings for it to work, similar to Volume + Wave sliders in Windows. [05:24] inno89: it looks like it will be fixed with the next release, or if you want to download the .34 kernel from the mainline ppa [05:24] ShadowFoxBiH, I leave PCM maxed @ 100 and just up/down the master volume when needed. [05:24] alright let me check [05:24] augusto, have you confirmed that your OS has drivers for the card? [05:24] ChogyDan: how can i do that? [05:24] typing lspci appears Atheros.. [05:24] Hi all. I was hoping someone could help me diagnose a wireless problem [05:25] pcm is at 100% [05:25] emma, i'm gonna switch to youtube if i can get it uploaded right [05:25] might just be a driver issue [05:25] ShadowFoxBiH, below the slider, there should be either 00 or MM [05:25] ShadowFoxBiH, what is it [05:25] Ubuntu netbook 10.04 installed [05:25] under PCM there is nothing [05:25] inno89: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds [05:25] a very slow connection. [05:25] cameron_, whats the story? [05:25] ShadowFoxBiH, k, thats fine [05:26] ShadowFoxBiH, as long as its not at 0 [05:26] so does anyone know anything about ecryptfs ? [05:26] guys is it possible for a sound card to burn out or something like that? [05:26] yeah its probably a driver issue I will go see if i can find some drivers [05:26] ShadowFoxBiH: Had the same prob ..turned out to be my onboard sound === ubuntu is now known as ioxe [05:27] emstrand, fixable? [05:27] hi, apt-get hangs at while setting up acpid. === KnightStalker is now known as Guest92107 [05:27] Roasted: put in a PCI sound card [05:27] emstrand, well, yeah - hard to do on a laptop :P [05:28] when i run glxgears i get "1596 frames in 5.0 seconds"; is that allot? how do i know if 3d is enabled? is sticking this gfx card into and older computer effecting the fps? [05:28] Roasted: sorry [05:28] Chogydan: so I dwonload the linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_amd64.deb, correct? [05:28] lspci --> NetworkController Atheros Comunications Inc. Device 002c (rev01) What does it means? but [05:28] Roasted I have a dsl connectionat about 17Mb/s and can stream video at about 5mb/s on other connections (wireless) but on my ubuntu machine I can barly get 1Kb [05:28] augusto, one-hit fix is often to apt-get remove network-manager and apt-get install wicd [05:28] hiiii === Guest92107 is now known as KnightStalker [05:28] the 2.6.35 kernel been out for a few months also [05:29] cameron_, is this for everything? like if you go on youtube, does it run very slow? [05:29] emstrand i know my speakers can go louder since i used them in win 7 [05:29] just now they seem to be weak [05:29] the default net manager is notoriously bad for wifi [05:29] bribroder, not really. It used to be a lot worse. I would HARDLY call network manager "notoriously bad" [05:29] Roasted, Yes. It takes about 10mins to buffer then bufferes every 3-4 secs [05:29] while you CAN try wicd to see if the issue solves it, its not always the case. [05:29] oh lol rookie mistake i didnt check the audio lvl in music lvl [05:30] ShadowFoxBiH: I have some external tiny speakers [05:30] WICD's development is so slow these days its hard for me to trust it. [05:30] Roasted, it sounds good though [05:30] bribroder, it works fine for me, - gateway nv53 - then again no 2 computers are the same [05:30] Roasted, IMHO. Not as bad as it used to be != good [05:30] vladwhat does. [05:30] oh and anyone know where i can find a nice music player [05:30] bribroder, it used to suck. It used to flat out suck. I admit. [05:30] notoriously bad [05:30] bribroder, today I would hardly call it bad, though. [05:30] hardly [05:30] the standard one is not my favorite [05:30] nowadays its decent [05:30] i still like Wicd though [05:31] I like wicd too. but its development is "wicked" slow :P [05:31] Roasted, possibly it's improved since I left it [05:31] it is [05:31] glad I could see he IRC since i'm always on the forum, I'll be back later [05:31] pretty much has 1 or 2 guys working on it on random weekends. [05:31] but wicd has always just worked for me [05:31] bribroder, it was "getting there" in 9.04. 9.10 I thought highly of it. 10.04 seems better yet. [05:31] how do i get chromium for ubuntu? [05:31] bribroder, I like WICD myself too. [05:31] hello everybody! [05:31] linux_is_my_hero, in the software center [05:31] just use the software center [05:31] i am asking a strange question from all of you [05:31] and search chrome [05:32] which one is better windows or ubuntu [05:32] ubuntu my friend [05:32] ubuntu [05:32] screw windows [05:32] apt-cache search filename [05:32] i have a very bad experience with ubuntu 10.04 even bad than ubuntu 8.10 [05:32] to me ubuntu [05:32] so far no bsod in ubuntu [05:32] Roasted, I think net-man is great for ethernet connections; my complaint is mostly with its wifi handling [05:32] I prefer ubuntu even when I can get my wireless working [05:33] v1ad, you can't get a bsod in ubuntu lol [05:33] oh anyone know why flash 10 isnt available on 64 bit ubuntu? [05:33] lol i know [05:33] bribroder, my opinion about 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04's network manager was STRICTLY from a wireless standpoint. [05:33] bribroder, wired is.. whatever. It works, never had an issue, etc. The only time I interact with network manager is through my wireless machines. [05:34] ShadowFoxBiH, http://www.duber.com/LetsTalk/playerCheck.html says flash 10 is installed on my 64 bit 10.04 [05:34] hmm youtube is asking me for flash [05:34] bribroder, not to mention the quality of the card/driver plays a huge role in it. For example, I ran a Broadcom in my laptop w/ STA drivers. Network Manager sucked, WICD sucked, I had issues no matter what I did. Random disconnects, some networks connected, others didnt connect (for whatever reason), etc. [05:34] apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:34] What does "stripped" mean in '~$ file /usr/bin/make; /usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'? [05:35] bribroder, ended up grabbing an Intel BGN card brand new off Amazon for 13 bucks. Plopped it in. 100% of my problems are GONE. I connect to networks in 5-7 seconds instead of 30-35 seconds like it was on my broadcom. Not to mention, at work I can walk VERY fast and bounce from access to access point without the connection dropping. With the broadcom, it would drop unless I took milimeter baby steps down the hall. [05:35] hey bribroder it says the file doesnt exist [05:35] heya. trying to troubleshoot a synaptic touchpad issue in X. my device is recognized and used by X as the mouse input.. but `synclient -m 1` shows no input coming from the device. anyone have experience with this? [05:35] bribroder, point being, the card/driver plays a bigger role (imho) than network manager vs wicd (these days, at least). [05:36] Roasted, you're probably right about the hardware mattering way more [05:36] bribroder, however, wicd is NICE with it easily being able to select alternative drivers right there in the GUI. [05:36] Roasted, my experience with net-man was in a low-end netbook [05:36] bribroder, by chance, what kind of network card were you running? [05:36] bribroder, wireless-card wise. [05:36] ShadowFoxBiH, you need to enable the partner repos in the update manager and reload [05:36] I HAVE PROBLEM connecting via bluetooth GPRS and i also searched ubuntu wiki andfollowed instructions and typed some commands ,edit some files and got result zero [05:37] alright chromium is up and running...whats the best way to get flash plugins for it [05:37] Roasted, let me check... it was in an Eee PC 1008-HA [05:37] which has since gone somewhere, but I'm not sure where, lol [05:37] hey, why isn't truecrypt in the repositories? [05:37] is there no gui to connect via bluetooth gprs [05:37] linux_is_my_hero: try installing the package ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:37] linux_is_my_hero, check the flash its probably already working [05:38] TuxthePenguin: already have it :-) [05:38] oh, then it should be working [05:38] linux_is_my_hero: install flashplugin-installer [05:38] v1ad: firefox is acting finicky so installed chromium...yet chromium is getting errors when i open flash sites like youtube [05:38] bribroder, do you by chance have the machine there? I'm trying to google for it and Im not finding an exact brand name of wireless card it had. [05:39] now what to do in that case? when i am unable to get resolution greater than 800x600 [05:39] idleOne: trying now :-) [05:39] Roasted, hunting for it... somewhere around here [05:39] Good Night guys :) [05:39] which ap can be used to open/edit sqlite2 file? [05:40] infact my laptop is able to provide resolution 1280X? [05:40] linux_is_my_hero, fine lets go the easy way. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ download the APT 1 [05:40] thanks bribroder [05:40] idleOne: i get this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/458618/ [05:41] linux_is_my_hero: don't worry bout that [05:41] :) [05:41] bribroder, sounds like its an atehros card. [05:41] Roasted, found it!! booting [05:41] linux you can run apt-get autoremove like it says if you want to [05:41] bribroder, its weird, because atheros is normally looked at as a well supported linux company. [05:41] linux_is_my_hero: you can run apt-get autoremove like it says if you want to [05:41] v1ad: I get the message "adobe-flashplugin" is virtual [05:42] bribroder, but I have a laptop here that has an atheros card. Works fine in 9.04, but in 9.10 and 10.04, itll only connect if theres no security. [05:42] bribroder, needless to say, I ordered a linux wifi card for it earlier today to replace it. :P [05:42] Roasted, yeah, my issues started in 9.10 [05:42] bribroder, an intel wifi card* === chattan1 is now known as chattan [05:42] linux_is_my_hero: ok well seems flash is installed. test it. [05:42] it hangs after every boot on many machines that my friend's have [05:42] IdleOne: youtube still doesn't work whats another flash-based site? [05:42] Roasted, my biggest problem was that if I tried to load anything bigger than a website the connection would drop [05:43] bribroder, yeah. Gotta love that :P [05:43] than what is better? [05:43] Roasted, installed wicd and the issue was gone [05:43] bribroder, I dont mean to sound like a big fan boy, but going from a problematic broadcom to a 100% working intel that wouldnt drop connection no matter what I did, it just surprised me. [05:43] linux_is_my_hero, if you are not running x64 then run the .deb if you are let me know and ill find u a auntomated script [05:43] bribroder, not to mention, wicd could have used a different driver by default than network manager. [05:43] Roasted, no I completely agree. I should just replace that piece of shit and call it a day [05:44] bribroder, thats what's great about open source software. We have choice. Dont like net man? get wicd. etc. :P [05:44] !language | bribroder [05:44] bribroder: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:44] dpkg: error processing gnome-power-manager (--configure): package gnome-power-manager is already installed and configured [05:44] Errors were encountered while processing: gnome-power-manager [05:44] v1ad: how do i get a x64 .deb for flash 10? [05:44] linux_is_my_hero: umm the adobe site has a flash test [05:44] v1ad: i run x64 [05:44] bribroder, I was just trying to give network manager credit cause I DO think they've come a long way in the recent year or so. [05:44] ^^ 9.10 can someone help me please [05:44] Roasted, Atheros AR9285 [05:44] HELP! I accidently missed an dot, and chmodded recusrivly everything from / - can you solve my "failed to connect to configuration server" error I get when I log in? [05:44] linux_is_my_hero, there is no .deb ill go get u the script off the forums [05:45] v1ad: thanks :-) [05:45] IdleOne: whats the link? [05:45] linux_is_my_hero, first enable the partner repository and then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:46] on my way to home from a long day, wife calls and say that the box was not responding so she figure if she turn off the power and turn it back everything will be cool. [05:46] bribroder, scanned forums for that card in the title, some users reported issues with it. :( [05:46] by the time i am home i got the warm welcoming , so i looked at the screen and there it is , "The configuration default for GNOME power manager didn't installed correctly" [05:47] bribroder: how do i enable repos? [05:48] I am new to ubuntu and having an audio issue on my Sony laptop. I spoke with roasted earlier, he suggested adjusting the PCM and master audio controls in alsamixer. At first I heard no sound at all, but I now am able to hear a very faint sound through headphones only, not through the main speakers. All levels are maxed. Any advice? [05:48] Roasted, yeah it's not a very good card. I think it recently just killed itself [05:48] linux_is_my_hero<--kinda new to this. :-( [05:48] My wife wanted a system easier to maintain so I just install 10.04 on her laptop - it had arch on it before. Its now sluggish so slow as to be almost unusable. Is there a checklist somewhere? There were NO speed problems on arch running kde4... [05:48] linux_is_my_hero, Sytem menu > Administration > Update Manager > Settings button in the lower left [05:48] briboder: thanks :-) [05:48] bribroder, not to mention, I'm reading now that installing the backports often enable better support for atheros cards. Not sure what thats about... never heard of that fix, but some users reported it working [05:48] edt, checklist? [05:49] HELP! I accidently missed an dot, and chmodded recusrivly everything from / - can you solve my "failed to connect to configuration server" error I get when I log in? (GNOME) [05:49] linux_is_my_hero, great no more x64 flash support. ill see how we can install a different 1 [05:49] I'm converting an ogv to avi. does it matter which audio and video codecs I choose? [05:49] linux_is_my_hero, then the "Other Software" tab and make sure that the first item is checked--it should say partner at the end [05:49] to figure out why ubuntu is so much slower that arch linux? [05:49] i'm doin it with Pitivi [05:49] yeah [05:49] What does "stripped" mean in '~$ file /usr/bin/make; /usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'? [05:49] check your vid driver [05:49] your kernel config [05:49] and compare them [05:50] briboder: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner? [05:50] ive got a ton of weird file looking things in /lost+found/ ... ive ran fsck and im able to boot up ok. but i cant get rid of this stuff... is there a right way to do this? [05:50] for example open office opened in seconds on arch - it taked minutes on ubuntu [05:50] v1ad: thanks for your help :-) [05:50] Roasted, I did get the backported drivers working temporarily, but it wasn't very well behaved [05:50] bullgard:you try ne not! [05:50] edt, i believe it is a matter of compiling [05:51] what amount of ram does this notebook have? [05:51] linux_is_my_hero, that sounds correct [05:51] Voldenet I used a stock kernel on arch. started with .32 and upgraded to .33 both were fast [05:51] Could somebody please pastebin a "ls -la" of their home dir? [05:51] I need to fix permissions [05:51] linux_is_my_hero, Check it, it close, and reload [05:52] briboder: it was already checked :-) [05:52] Kardos, fixing permissions is ineffective and usually does not work [05:52] linux_is_my_hero, then you should be good... just do sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [05:52] linux_is_my_hero, er that's flashPLUGIN [05:52] chmod -R is imo the most dangerous command now [05:52] it hangs after every boot on my many friend's machine while they have popular hardware ,so i will have to uninstall it from their machines ,what could i do? and i also tried to change their file systems from ext4 to ext3 but could not:'( [05:52] briboder: i did/ whats a good site to check it on? besides youtube [05:52] Voldenet: COuld have been an rm! :) [05:52] jarHeadless: I beg your pardon? [05:52] I'm converting an ogv to avi. does it matter which audio and video codecs I choose? I'm using Pitivi [05:52] http://www.duber.com/LetsTalk/playerCheck.html [05:53] karen20100702, well, rm and dd are not participating in competition [05:53] ;P [05:53] linux_is_my_hero, registers mine as LNX 10.1.53.somethingsomething [05:53] Voldenet I've been running linux for 10 years - this is the first time I've ever had it behave this badly. Looks like the write drivers have been detected but something is killing performance on the laptop. [05:53] edt: iotop [05:53] htop [05:54] 2 tools to run [05:54] linux_is_my_hero, u try this? "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" [05:54] on some machine where it is running smoothely ,games makes it defeat against windows [05:55] v1ad: that was the first thing i tried. :-( [05:55] Anyway, pastebin your "ls -la" in home, anyone? Other than /home, everything else is easyish to fix. [05:55] Roasted, I did get it working with backported drivers, but it still wasn't working very well with WPA2 security [05:55] I'm converting an ogv to avi. does it matter which audio and video codecs I choose? I'm using Pitivi [05:55] linux_is_my_hero, i know they disabled the older support :[ [05:55] linux_is_my_hero, [05:56] I heard linux is good [05:56] linux_is_my_hero, let me see something else also [05:56] v1ad: why is it difficult to get flash support for a popular browser? i know people are dumb, but these people are software engineers. kinda sad.... [05:56] you'd think they would do it right the first time [05:56] linux_is_my_hero, did flashplugin-nonfree not work out? [05:56] uhuh [05:56] briboder: testing right now [05:57] how do i reconfigure gnome-power-manager [05:57] briboder: adobe's site gives me results similar to yours, and it is finding it. :-) [05:57] Please somebody post their "ls -la" output for their home dir on pastebin, I messed up my permissions with a chmod in the wrong place! [05:57] hello [05:57] linux_is_my_hero, sounds like it works, then [05:57] briboder: so we jsut went "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" and that did it :-) [05:58] briboder: what about java? [05:58] karen20100702: have you tried: chown -r user:user /home/user ? [05:58] the package is sun-java6-jre [05:58] karen20100702: try chown -R $USER $HOME [05:58] linux-is-my-hero, You can either use use sun java or OpenJDK [05:58] who needs help one ata time [05:59] nevercast: frostwire is installing right now so we shall see...its putting in sun java :-) [05:59] MaRk-I: Ownership hasn't changed. Some things don't like their new 0777 permissions! [05:59] hi [05:59] linux_is_my_hero, Love Frostwire :P [05:59] thank you everyone for your help :-) [05:59] briboder: nice work ;-) [05:59] linux_is_my_hero, I was hoping there would be an Ares for Linux, but no.. I'll have to port it or something [05:59] linux_is_my_hero, my pleasure [05:59] nevercast: yeah, i like it too. i stopped using limewire because it got too big...then i left windows forever. [05:59] 'sudo dpkg --configure gnome-power-manager <----how can i force this please [06:00] linux_is_my_hero, I'm on my way to leaving windows [06:00] briboder: thats what she said. [06:00] linux_is_my_hero, But since I'm a windows developer.. [06:00] nevercast: its like getting a divorce...lol [06:00] haha, /nick bribroder_is_my_hero [06:00] linux_is_my_hero, it might take a while longer [06:00] linux_is_my_hero, Haha yeah :P [06:00] hey.. where i can view all my system icons? i forgot the directory :'( [06:01] nevercast: i like the pwoer and versatility of windows, just not all the unnecessary backdoors and the fact that it uses a lot more system resources [06:01] bahie: /usr/share/icons? [06:01] Please somebody post their "ls -la" output for their home dir on pastebin, I need to fix my permissions! [06:01] hi [06:01] karen20100702: try chown -R $USER $HOME === tik_ is now known as TiK_ [06:01] karen20100702: most everhting is owned by the user [06:02] goodnight everyone [06:02] linux_is_my_hero, Lol.. Yeah Windows is a whore, but I love Windows 7 [06:02] soreau: thanks, but the owner is fine, it's the permissions. Dr_Willis: Yes, but some things need a specific permission otherwise they are ignored, e.g. .dmrc has to be always 0644. THere are others that I can't remember [06:02] Roasted, I think that drivers for the AR card in my netbook aren't even included in the 10.04 release anymore :p [06:02] soreau, yes.. thanks but there is also one more place.. [06:02] bribroder, what.. why? [06:02] why would they kick drivers out? [06:02] linux_is_my_hero, i got an idea just did it to myself [06:02] karen20100702: you can delete .dmrc and it will get remade as needed [06:03] works great [06:03] the new flash player [06:03] karen20100702: .ssh and the files in it are also special i recall [06:03] hey there [06:03] Roasted, I tried booting it into a minimal install and the network cards aren't detected [06:03] karen20100702: http://pastebin.com/KpQttRXL [06:03] linux_is_my_hero, go to the flash website and download the .tar.gz [06:03] MaRk-I: Thanks very much! [06:03] bribroder, is it perhaps possible that the minimal install, by default, supports quite a bit less? [06:03] linux_is_my_hero, flash player and extract it to your desktop [06:04] bribroder: wired or wireless network cards? [06:04] o he left [06:04] i just got one little question: i've just installed ubuntu lucid in a hard drive containing windows xp. Now when i try to update grub it doesn't find windows installation. I haven't deleted any partition of the installed windows (i've just resized it), any idea? [06:04] karen20100702, move the things you want to keep to a backup folder and get yourself a new profile [06:04] just installed the new flash 32bit on my x64 system works great [06:05] Dr_Willis, Roasted, one second, testing some more [06:05] i installed th 64 bit flash works great [06:05] v1ad, now watch the cpu usage.. [06:05] it's fast and furious in here this friday night [06:05] TiK_, lovelt cpu ussage aint it? [06:05] lovelt? [06:05] bahie, got the i7 920 and overclocked to 3.6 [06:05] bribroder: actually its sort of quiet. :) [06:06] v1ad, doesn't matter..probably will consume 20% of ur i7..which is ALOT [06:06] how can I tell if I am getting the proper performance from my video card chip [06:06] bahie, 8 cores 4 physical 4 virtual. will never reach 20 % [06:07] OpenNoob: and whats your video card? [06:07] Woo! Solved. Needed to clear /tmp aswell, as all the locks had the wrong permission [06:07] Integrated Radeon X200 [06:07] 320 [06:07] Optiplex 320 Dell [06:08] karen20100702: good [06:08] THanks everyone. Bye [06:09] hello [06:09] hi [06:09] everyone [06:09] help me i want cd dvd writer for ubuntu lucid [06:09] k3b? [06:09] hello can someone help me correctly install ubuntu and windows seven in a dual boot...i already have windows 7 installed and i am in the partitioning step for ubuntu's installation [06:10] choose advanced [06:10] abhijain, k3b? [06:10] ubuntu: simply select the "install alongside the existing os" option. itll show a diagram of how much of the disk goes to each OS [06:10] bahie, looking and my cpu and can't even tell a loss of performance with flash running [06:10] Kardos: gnome baker [06:11] ubuntu: you can grab the handle and drag it a bit to determine how many GB of your hard disk go to windows and how many to ubuntu. thats all you need to do [06:11] nah chose advanced [06:11] ok use that [06:11] TiK_: that requires far too much explanation and has no net benefit [06:11] Kardos: which one is best [06:11] ive only used k3b. it does what i need to do :) [06:11] maco i would like to partition manually though... could you help me put the correct settings on the new partition [06:11] I do find that windows can resize the windows partitions faster then the resizer tool in the ubuntu installer. [06:12] that seems like a data-dependent situation DrW [06:12] i am seeking advice on an audio problem -- using ubuntu on a sony laptop -- audio is coming in very quietly through headphones and not at all through the main speakers. All levels are maxed in alsamixer. Any suggestions? It previously worked fine in Windows 7 (recently switched to ubuntu) [06:12] ububtu: choose advanced and select the partition [06:12] a fair comparison would have to have the same files arranged in the same fashion before resizing [06:12] ubuntu: you may want to use windows to resize the partition (shrink it) and leave a section of the HD unallocated at the end for you to do your custome partioning layout in. [06:12] tik: yes i am there [06:12] ubuntu: its not going to be any different... but sure fine. just edit the existing windows partition so its set to a smaller size. add a new partition thats 2x the size of your ram and set it to "use as: swap" then for the rest of the empty space set it to "use as: ext4" (or ext3 if you want something more tried-and-tested but a bit slower) and set its mount point to / [06:13] ubuntu: you can select the old partition under advanced [06:13] i clicked on the free space and selected add... should i choose primary or logical [06:13] *cries* why is my flash stick refusing to umount? [06:13] Hey guys. I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Plug & Play (Yeah yeah... Micro$haft)... is there a way to get it to play nicely with Ubuntu? [06:13] TiK_: primary [06:13] Kardos: ive have seen it be like 4x+ faster.. Not tried it in win7. or in 10.X but about a year ago. it took windows about 10 min to resize and ubuntu took like 40+ min. [06:13] why would he make another partition on his windows 7 drive when he has a ubuntu one alrady [06:13] he allready did that [06:13] TiK_: you can have 4 primaries or you can do 3 primary and 1 logical. since you only need 3 partitions total though, primary is fine === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:13] Kardos: i want to install xp3 in my system but i know that occur the grub issue. is there any possibility to solve or recover in lucid [06:14] Dr_Willis i already have my windows partition the size i want it to be [06:14] Ive also noticed lately windows7 comming with all 4 primary partitions allready setup and used.. making resizing much harder. [06:14] TiK_: no he doesnt... [06:14] yes he does [06:14] TiK_: he said he has windows and now he's trying to install ubuntu [06:14] yeah but ya gotta do a fair comparison!! if ubuntu has to move 50gb of files, and win7 has to move 2gb, obv win7 wins [06:14] no [06:14] TiK_: he said nothing about already having ubuntu there [06:14] ubuntu: so repartition the otehr space as needed. I tend to use 4 primaries. (windows) (/) (/home) and (swap) [06:14] he sid he is trying to fix an allready installed ubuntu [06:14] anyway, kind of a tangent to whatever the actual discussion is on, carry on! [06:14] TiK_: and will you please learn to highlight people instead of talking to the wall? [06:15] TiK_: no he didnt [06:15] TiK_: all he said was "hello can someone help me correctly install ubuntu and windows seven in a dual boot...i already have windows 7 installed and i am in the partitioning step for ubuntu's installation" [06:15] TiK_: nothing there about a broken install [06:15] anyone know? [06:15] yes i already have windows installed on a 100 gb partition...now i want to install ubuntu and i am in the partitioning step ... there is about 60 gb free space [06:15] abhijain: sorry i dont understand what you're talking about :/ [06:16] sdwrage: i dont even know what a sidewinder is. sounds like a remote control toy car [06:16] sdwrage: in fact i remember remote control toy cars by that name [06:16] howdy [06:16] maco, It is a gamepad controller [06:16] any improvements abou splash in lucid? [06:17] scripwarlock: uhhh as compared to...? [06:17] scripwarlock: its using Plymouth now. Not usplash or whatever other splash's have beenused in the past. [06:17] you'd need the remote control toy car kernel modules [06:17] Kardos: grub issue [06:17] ubuntu : just put your cd and follow on screen instruction.. make sure to choose side by side installation.. or if you prefer, you can manually arrange the partition.. [06:17] hmm some of my mahcines in my cyber shop reso is 800x600 [06:17] for the ubuntu partition should i choose primary or logical? and what should be the mount point? [06:17] Dr_Willis, do you have any thoughts on swapd vs. a swap partition? [06:17] sdwrage: My old MS sidewinder gamepad has worked for me in the past. Its possible you need to manually load a module for it. [06:18] Kardos: grub issue dual boot with xp3/ windows in lucid [06:18] prince_jammys: i always set up a swap partition at the end of every HD on my systems. [06:18] Howdy Ya'll [06:18] ubuntu, choose primary and the mount point is / [06:18] dunno if this bug or just a default splash reso [06:18] yeah sorry you were talking about burning software before, i missed the transition [06:18] Dr_Willis: cool :) [06:18] hotfloppy: yes i am already there. i am in the advanced partitioning step === Guest21836 is now known as more [06:18] I am buying an AMD X6 1055T from Fry's for $500 and wonder if it will run Ubuntu? [06:19] bribroder ok thanks and should i create a swap partition and a seperate partition for grub? === more is now known as Guest83981 [06:19] ubuntu, how much ram do you have? [06:19] bribroder i have 4gb of ram [06:19] ubuntu: so, need some more help? if not, good luck then :) [06:19] Dr_Willis, what do you mean? [06:19] guys i want to install windows on my another partition can any body help me how can i recover my grub after installation [06:20] ubuntu, it's generally considered unnecessary to have a swap partition with +2gb of ram [06:20] abhjain, what version of ubuntu using? [06:20] ubuntu, I recommend installing the package swapd after your first boot [06:20] abhijain, what version of ubuntu using? [06:20] scripwarlock: 10.4 lucid [06:20] ubuntu, that's a program which dynamically handles a swap file for you and gets rid of it when not needed [06:20] ubuntu, so there's no wasted disk space [06:20] i copied a shell script to install an autopackage file and the mdsums don't match. how do i fix this? [06:20] ok could you show me how to do that after my first boot [06:20] abhijain, plug your usb or live cd [06:20] sdwrage: devices use 'modules' in ubuntu. You may need to 'sudo modprobe WHATEVER' to get tjhe proper module. Theres several differnt sidewinder gamepads i recall. [06:21] ubuntu, you should probably create a separate home partition for all your personal files [06:21] scripwarlock: i have live cd [06:21] scripwarlock: den [06:21] hrm [06:21] but you may want to pad / with a few extra G's [06:21] Dr_Willis, how would I get the "WHATEVER" [06:22] abhijain, start reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:22] scripwarlock: after live cd steps. grub 2 or grub 1 [06:22] bribroder after i create a separate home partition will ubuntu automatically detect it as the home partition or will i need to change some settings to tell it that i have a separate home partition [06:22] grub 2 [06:22] abhijain, grub 2 [06:22] ubuntu: better to make swap partition up to 2gb if you plan to use hibernation and dont forget to separate /home partition so you can reformat your Ubuntu without losing all you data.. [06:23] ubuntu, as long as you set the mount point of your home partition as /home it will be incorporated automatically [06:23] Dr_Willis, could I get a list of devices? is there a way to? [06:23] ubuntu, and it doesn't matter if it's a primary or a logical [06:23] I am buying an AMD X6 1055T from Fry's for $500 and wonder if it will run Ubuntu? [06:23] sdwrage: what is your exact controller? is it usb? or the older gameport? [06:23] ok thanks and should the /home be primary or logical? [06:23] sdwrage: how are you even testing the gamepadd? [06:23] hey guys. logging in takes a really long time on my desktop. like, almost a minute and a half. but it only takes a long time the first time after a reboot - i.e. subsequent logins are like 5 seconds, but if i reboot, getting to the login screen takes like 15 seconds, and then logging in takes forever again. this is uncharacteristic. any ideas? [06:24] Dr_Willis, emulator [06:24] ubuntu: I tend to use all primaries. Unless I need more then 4 partitions [06:24] ubuntu: /agree with Dr_Willis [06:24] sdwrage: try it in some other programs also. , plug it in, check 'dmesg' output after a few sec .. [06:24] gamepad = Sidewinder Gamepad Plug & Play USB [06:24] Hey guys, what is a good way to toggle the screensaver from the terminal? [06:24] dr_willis ok thanks so the grub partition will be primary too...correct? [06:25] ubuntu: the /boot/ partition can be primary. but i dont bother with a /boot/ parittion much these days [06:25] abhijain, much simplier guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:25] ubuntu: more /agree with Dr_Willis :p [06:25] Dr_Willis, [32576.454075] input: Microsoft Microsoft SideWinder Plug & Play Game Pad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.0/input/input6 [06:26] bribroder & dr_willis what size do you recommend for the ubuntu partition [06:26] ubuntu: in my box, i just have 3 partition.. / , /home and swap :D [06:26] tried xset -dpms but it still seems to fade out [06:26] hi guys... i need help with a little issue in rhythmbox... [06:26] hi...i have a 3g modem and i am trying to share its internet around my house in a wireless network. I bought a 'belkin wireless router' (as they did not sell access points) and i put the router in 'access point mode'. The other computers can now see the belkin wireless on the wifi list...but connecting to it doesn't allow them to use the internet. What do i do? [06:26] ubuntu, I would go with 15-30 [06:27] ubuntu, and the rest for /home [06:27] hi guys... i need help with a little issue in rhythmbox... send me private PLZ... [06:27] sdwrage: now in a terminal try --> cat /dev/input/js0 [06:27] ok thank you all you have been very helpfull [06:27] <84XAAKY1M> !ask | xxxx16480 [06:27] xxxx16480: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:27] sdwrage: then wiggle the pad/buttons [06:28] Dr_Willis, getting weird characters [06:28] sdwrage: it should print out random charaters if its working. ctrl-c to quit that test [06:28] sdwrage: so.. it works. :) [06:28] apparently [06:28] sdwrage: configure whatever programs you are using to use /dev/input/js0 [06:28] ok... I will try that [06:28] sdwrage: a lot of OLD programs would default to /dev/js0 which is not corr3xct these days [06:29] !info jstest-gtk [06:29] Package jstest-gtk does not exist in lucid === SpyderBite is now known as Spyder|zzz [06:29] Hmm. I got jstest-gtk from some repo/ppa - [06:29] hi [06:30] HI [06:30] !rt61 [06:31] the ISP in my country is blocking most technical sites, is there anyway solve that? any tip at all? (btw, the proxies address are too slow) [06:31] sdwrage: from the 'getdeb' unofficial repos i got jstest-gtk that lets you test out the joysticks in a nice gui. theres proberly other tools out that are similer. [06:32] Dr_Willis, Roaster, It looks like they took out the atl1c driver support [06:32] Dr_Willis, sweet :) thank you for all of your help! [06:32] sdwrage, Joystick trouble? A last resort might be to use http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/ to emulate keyboard presses using the joystick [06:33] Kinda like joytokey for windows [06:33] yugge, thanks :) [06:35] ----Why did my gnomebaker disk burner fail to like the disk I put in?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/GhgeZ40u --- (I tried brasero first.) ----- I can look and see if my new results are the same. (been asking this since yesterday eve) [06:35] any ideas [06:35] how does one download 10.04? it's big for our CD? [06:36] chalcedny: its an ISO file, and downloading it and burning to a CD will work fine. [06:37] I had a little issue: I HAVE ALL MY SONGS IN A HDD, and i play them on my RHYTHMBOX, but when i close and open the program it shows me a message that "ALL FILES MISSING".... any ideas ???... [06:37] chalcedny, are you downloading ubuntu or ubuntustudio? [06:37] DeaD_SouL, not an expert but there are relatively cheap/free providers of SSH tunnels. Much luck. [06:37] chalcedny: and how big is your cd? it can fit on a standard 700mb cd I recall. [06:37] Does anyone here use Chromium? [06:37] chalcedny: theres also some confuseion lately with the 'MB' vs 'MiB' sizes being displayed by some apps [06:38] frumious: great, can you help me with links, howtos, tutorials, anything..! [06:38] hi everyone [06:38] I had a little issue: I HAVE ALL MY SONGS IN A HDD, and i play them on my RHYTHMBOX, but when i close and open the program it shows me a message that "ALL FILES MISSING".... any ideas ???... [06:38] bribroder & Dr_Willis: the windows install has two partitions, one for the system files and one for the OS, and i am creating 3 partitions in ubuntu (/ ; /home ; /boot) that adds up to five. Dr_Willis advised to keep less than four primary (i am not sure if both windows partitions are primary but i am guessing they are) so should i make one of them logical or keep all five of them primary? [06:38] can someone help me with fixing my MBR? [06:39] I tried following the steps on the wiki but it isn't working [06:39] ubuntu_: you Must use one logical + extended also [06:39] I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to completely disable the status bar in Chromium (the one at the bottom that only shows when pages load or you hover over a link). [06:39] ubuntu_: you CANT have more then 4 primaries. [06:39] ubuntu, set your fourth partition to logical [06:39] sorry, I don't know what that means [06:39] ubuntu, and then you will be able to create more [06:40] ubuntu just make sure your third partition is / and is a primary partition [06:40] * Dr_Willis thinks the Ubuntu* nicks need to change nicks. [06:40] hi, can somebody help me install screen on cygwin? === ubuntu is now known as blaze|| [06:40] i'm trying to follow these directions: http://osdir.com/ml/screen-users-gnu/2010-01/msg00031.html === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu [06:40] but i dont know where execvpe.patch is [06:40] boxbeatsy: check the cygwin website/docs and channel? i recall it having some gui installer tool/package manager that made it rather easy to do that. [06:40] I'm not sure what's wrong with it though [06:40] Dr_Willis, ty my husband was doing it, not sure yet what he did [06:40] windows broke grub when I reinstalled it [06:40] jalex_brown: i see no statusbar in chromium [06:40] o hmm ok ill check thanks Dr_Willis [06:41] bribroder ok so make / primary, /boot primary, and /home logical? [06:41] ubuntu, boot a livecd and type sudo grub-install /dev/sda [06:41] I tried [06:41] it gives me an error [06:41] Xangua: I downloaded Chromium, and it is just a little box in the bottom left that will only show up when pages are loading or you hover over a link. [06:41] I'm on a liveUSB right now [06:42] this is the error: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub. [06:42] No path or device is specified. [06:42] Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information. [06:42] Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed. [06:42] Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly. [06:42] ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:42] blaze||, IMHO you don't need /boot, but if you prefer it, then it should be your third primary partition [06:43] blaze||, after you create your third primary and make your first logical partition, you'll find that the first logical partition doesn't actually appear to exist [06:43] @bribroder so something went horribly wrong [06:43] hello [06:43] bribroder: the liveCD can't install grub [06:43] bribroder, i installed ubuntu 10.04 before and i did not create a /boot partition and it ruined my windows installation somehow so i just want to be safe [06:43] ubuntu, put your error in pastebin or something and drop us a link [06:43] bribroder: ok [06:44] blaze||: use of /boot/ does not make windows any safer.. i imagine somthing else webt wrong.. [06:44] bribroder: this is the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458639/ [06:44] blaze||: dont forget as swap partition also. [06:44] Dr_Willis it something went wrong with grub and my windows boot loader [06:45] ubuntu can you install it to the master boot record? use /dev/sda instead of sda6 [06:45] one moment [06:45] This is what I'm talking about. [06:45] bribroder: same error [06:45] http://dev.chromium.org/user-experience/status-bubble [06:45] Dr_Willis is it recommended to have a swap partition even though i have 4 gb of ram? if i should, should it be a logical partition? [06:46] I've already mentioned the swapd package as an alternative to a swap partition [06:46] your choice, just like /boot :p [06:46] bribroder: so what options do I have? === DJGB is now known as djg === djg is now known as djgb [06:47] bribroder ok i will install it there, i did not know that was the mbr [06:47] bribroder, i think i will use swapd [06:47] ubuntu ok I think this is what you need: mount --bind /dev /mnt/new/dev [06:47] bribroder: what will that do? [06:48] blaze||, ok so you have two windows partitions which are primaries, your /boot partition which is a primary [06:48] you need to add the host's nodes to the livecd environment [06:48] blaze||, and then the rest of your partitions, however many more that follow, are all logical [06:49] bribroder can i clarify something.... when i make a /boot partition, that is where grub will be installed right? [06:49] blaze||, correct [06:49] AFAIK [06:49] reference Dr_Willis [06:49] bribroder: not quite how logical works [06:50] maco how does logical work? [06:50] maco, his logicals will show up as sda5+ though, right? and sda4 won't exist? [06:50] bribroder: you need an extended partition to put the logicals inside [06:50] blaze||: i always make a swap partition. of at least 512mb.. You may not want more. [06:50] you cant just put them right after the primary without encapsulating in an extended partition [06:50] bribroder: what will that command do? [06:51] blaze||: grub FILES and the kernel can be in /boot/ grub still 'installs' to the MBR of the hard drive. [06:51] k [06:51] blaze||: i dont see much need for a /boot/ partition except in special cases these days [06:51] bribroder: it says that it doesn't exist [06:51] Dr_Willis ok i will not make a /boot and i will keep 4 primary partitions to make it easier [06:52] ubuntu http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ [06:52] guys df -k return 100% used how can i find which are the big files in my system [06:52] bribroder: ok, I'll check back once I'm done with it [06:53] mcl0vin, Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer [06:53] my CD drive can read a CD but cant see a blank one.

You can use a disk with data on to compare output [07:02] well i came across a post about it [07:02] but it seemed a bit too over complicated [07:02] act [07:02] im sure theres an easier way to do it [07:02] so i have to buy a macbook 15". how well is the hardware in the macbooks supported by ubuntu? still patchy?

If you modify the .desktop in /usr/share/applications it may respect it [07:05] you can also sync the music with rhtyhmbox just fine [07:05] kernelshield: copy the standing one to $HOME so you have the original [07:05] what im trying to do is possible because i seen a post about it from a month or two ago, it just seemed over complicated for such a simple process and was wondering if anyone figured out a better way [07:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464189 [07:06] :( [07:06] i can do it just fine plugged in, rhythbmox auto mounts my ipod and plays music from it with no problem [07:06] id just like to be able to do it via bluetooth [07:06] slgma, you're after bluetooth transfers, right?

[07:11] hello [07:12] i'm having an issue with bchunk is anybody here has any insight [07:12] I have a question that is very important to me and you all better answer it in the proper tone, or else! [07:12] just thought i'd try here [07:12] ActionParsnip, 1. discard almost everything I said. put in a recorded disk. learned it is in drive 0. shows=> configuration: mount.fstype=iso9660 mount.options=ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,utf8 state=mounted ------NOW I look and there is a blank cd in the other drive. Did something get confused becasue of that? now I will see if I can burn. ie I'll try it again. (Yes that shouldnt mess it up but I've been able to burn just fine till this time-o [07:12] f-trials in the last 4-5 days of agony and woe. :) [07:12] ubuntu did you reboot to a livecd and give it another try? [07:12] I just read the guide he posted. Its not hard at all. Probably thinks its hard because its not using some gui stuff [07:12] only problem I have is that I do not get oss-devices in it [07:12] bribroder: I rebooted [07:12] bribroder: but I haven't tried again yet [07:13] bribroder: I have a question [07:13] k, i try using bchunk to convert a bin/toc but i get this "ouch, no space after track" error and nothing happens [07:13] shoot [07:13] ActionParsnip: but the terminal is 'scary'! :) [07:13] any insight? [07:13] Dr_Willis: totally [07:13] bribroder: I used a utility to make the live CD rather than just burn the .iso directly onto the flash drive [07:13] Dr_Willis: I bet his other pc is a mac [07:13] bribroder: could that be causing the issue? [07:13] unetbootin? [07:14] anyone knows how I can bind "CTRL-ESC" to the main menu? [07:14] <|GaiJin|> well... first linux I sat my ass on was gentoo... so the terminal isn't too scary. [07:14] <|GaiJin|> seems some peeps are just abit afraid to learn [07:14] ubuntu: did you md5 test the iso? [07:14] Dr_Willis, I get "device descriptor read/64, error -71" [07:14] ubuntu, unetbootin works fine if that's what you used... but if you're on a flash stick, I bet your hard drive is sdb not sda [07:15] tucemiux: system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts [07:15] Dr_Willis, that one of the last lines in the output of dmesg when I plug the device in. [07:15] |GaiJin|: snap. Teaches a lot [07:15] ubuntu, type sudo fdisk -l and see where your root is [07:15] vulkan which one of the 300 options would it be? im looking at it right now [07:15] <|GaiJin|> thought me alot atleast... very little I remember, but you quickly learn wherte to get help, and how to ask:D [07:16] ubuntu, I thought of mentioning that but figured you were on a livecd :p [07:16] tucemiux: "show the panel's main menu" [07:16] bribroder: no I'm on a usb [07:16] one sec [07:17] ubuntu: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [07:17] R3cur51v3: You could try it on other machines, or even a windows box see if it works there. Ive not used those sort of devices in ages. but the last one i did use. I just plugged it in. and it worked. [07:17] bribroder: linux is on sda6 and the linux swap/solaris is sda7 [07:17] Dr_Willis, even if I don't have drivers, it should still be recognized by lsusb, no? [07:17] actionparsnip: no I didn't [07:18] ubuntu: then how do you know the file is error free and complete? [07:18] vu1kan, thanks!! It worked! and remove the 1 from the nickname please!! 0_o [07:18] actionparsnip: but it's the same file I used that I had stored on another hard drive as I used to install the ubuntu I'm using now [07:18] actionparsnip: I guess I don't [07:18] tucemiux: type 'vu' and press [07:18] It seems that there is NO WAY to disable the status bubble in Chromium. [07:18] Gr... [07:18] it works on any nick and in the terminal [07:18] ubuntu: its worth a check. Takes a few seconds [07:19] ubuntu, how fried is your boot sequence? does it put you in the grub rescue prompt?

[07:19] R3cur51v3: how much did you pay for it? Some of the cheaper converters can be, well, troublesome.

[07:21] R3cur51v3: you could try sudo lshw, to see if that shows anything - worth a shot. [07:21] <|GaiJin|> anyone know if there is a nowdays version of gedestlet or something similar for gnome?

[07:45] waieez: theres one called bchunk i think [07:45] Dr_Willis: It doesn't matter what distribution I run, it causes kernel crashes [07:45] soadkombucha: that is weird. try 10.10 perhaps? [07:45] soadkombucha: if that works - then theres at least a light at the end of the tunnle. [07:45] keon, yah. and you alwasy get more information regarding xfce desktop version of ubuntu in #xubuntu channel. if not you can come here always. [07:45] Dr_Willis: I'm not talking just Ubuntu. I tried Fedora, Mint, Arch, OpenSUSE, Zevin, and a bunch others [07:46] Dr_Willis: It just doesn't work. [07:46] never heard of zevin [07:46] bribroder: it says this: sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu [07:46] good morning from portugal. I'd like to get some help related to installing ubuntu dualbooting with windows, where windows is already installed on my computer. [07:46] hi kickingintender [07:46] then it says it worked [07:46] zoran maybe [07:46] lemme paste it [07:46] I can't remember exactly some weird name [07:46] hi [07:46] Andre_: scandisk/defrag the windows system.. then boot the cd. and follow the installer. It shouldent be too hard. [07:46] you mean 'Xandros'? [07:46] its easy andre [07:46] No [07:47] thanks, Dr_Willis [07:47] bribroder: this is the out put from the last step: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458653/ [07:47] It IS Zorin http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/06/zorin-3-distro-review.html [07:47] ok....i know that [07:47] Ubuntu derivative, but I was trying to cover my bases [07:48] ubuntu, try restarting, with fingers crossed [07:48] bribroder: copy that, I'll come back [07:48] soadkombucha: sounds like a underlieing kernel issue - Thats why i suggested trying 10.10 its got a newer kernel. [07:48] soadkombucha, here some major linx listed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions [07:48] Dr_Willis can i resize my ubuntu partition without messing grub2 [07:49] soadkombucha: or perhaps some other sourced based disrtos where you can play with kernels easier [07:49] Dr_Willis: What's the kernel version? [07:49] Dr_Willis: I'm on 2.6.32-23-preempt [07:49] kickingintender: You should be able to. if you just resize. and not move it. [07:49] with what app [07:49] soadkombucha: no idea. I havent tried 10.10 yet. I dont keep up with kenels. last i had toworry about kernelw as a few yrs back with a 'new' laptop that had flakey linu support. but the next release then fixed all my issues. :) [07:50] kickingintender: gparted from a live cd. is what i normally use. [07:50] kickingintender: you may want to give more details as to whatyou are trying to do [07:50] Dr_Willis: But I'll try it. [07:50] soadkombucha, thats your blog? [07:51] abhi_nav: Nope, a friend of a friend [07:51] soadkombucha, ohhh [07:51] i have xp & ubuntu,after installing xp i wanted 2 install ubuntu on 5gb of hdd space but ubuntu took 12gb of hdd space [07:52] conk 显示温度的 插件,里面的datatype [07:52] kickingintender: i would suggest at leat 20gb for a useable ubuntu install. [07:52] greezmunkey, I'm not taking it apart. it worked. I have to pay time warner. if I break the connection it will be dead. It's 2 drives ---wait, it can see a pre-burnt disk so that means it is sitting properly,, right? [07:52] 都有哪些参数啊? [07:52] the bottom one sees neither [07:52] ／join ＃ubuntu－cn [07:52] does anyone know where I might be able to go to find a programmers who might be interested in modifying simple website software? [07:52] i dont use ubuntu apps as much as i use windows apps [07:52] tripelb: yeah, I'd say so. [07:53] kickingintender: you could alwaos use ubuntu inside virtualbox on windows. [07:53] bribroder: it worked! [07:53] bribroder: I've never been so happy to see my desktop background! [07:53] soadkombucha, latest kernel is 2.6.32-23. you can check yours with uname -r [07:53] greezmunkey, another day [07:53] Lancelot, that's great :D [07:53] ty [07:53] bribroder: thanks very much for the help [07:53] kickingintender, there are so many great aps for linux. I use them. I hardly go to my vista .though it is geniune. [07:54] Lancelot, you followed the guide, that's the hard part [07:54] bribroder: i really appreciate it. I was about to give up and reinstall [07:54] yeah, no kidding :p [07:54] abhi_nav: Yep. I rarely need windows for real 'work' these days :) [07:54] Dr_Willis, :) [07:54] glad to help [07:55] * Dr_Willis just wonders why these web sites take 30+ min to print out on his new brother hl printer. they print.. its just real slow.. so i cant figure out where to look at for the issue [07:55] utorrent,mysql,quicktime and ms word .....alternatives are not compelling [07:55] The 15+ yr old laser printer seems to print the same sites 100x faster [07:56] someone kill me, my flash drives are refusing to umount [07:56] hey ya!!! [07:56] then force bribroder [07:56] does anyone know if copy operations across drives can mess with your flash drives? [07:56] I am here since about 20 weeks and for the first time i saw Dr_Willis also have some issue to solve. ;) I just seen you helping only. :) [07:57] bribroder: try mounting them by hand. [07:57] Dr_Willis, HL-2040? [07:57] he meant unmount willis [07:57] bribroder: no, not in my experience [07:57] bribroder: I've done it tons of times with no issues [07:57] abhi_nav: Yea. Its real weird. I print some gfx inensive web site to the Brother Printer.. it takeing 30+ min to process/spool and print. It could be its just transfering a LOT of data over wireless. [07:58] Dr_Willis, hmm :) [07:58] also there isnt a good alternative for daemon tools in ubuntu [07:58] Dr_Willis, try a different print queue? [07:58] abhi_nav: less image intensive sites dont have the issue. and the old HP printer on the parallel port also prints them faster. [07:58] bribroder: before I go, could you give me that link again? I wanna bookmark it for future reference [07:58] Dr_Willis, I see. [07:58] bribroder: using the lpd/lpq feature of teh wireless printer right now. I may hook it up via wire and see if it goes any better.. but thats defeating the purpose of me buying a wireless printer. :) === MePHiSTo1 is now known as Sup|Away [07:59] bribroder: nevermind, I found it. Well I'm off to bed now. Tomorrow is gonna be a fun day of installing crap on windows [07:59] Lancelot, http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ [07:59] Dr_Willis can u tell me alternative for mounting iso images in ubuntu [07:59] bribroder, thanks again [07:59] can someone please tell me what is the "source code" option on the "ubuntu software" tab at the "software source" ? [07:59] haha have fun with microsoft [07:59] have a good night, Lancelot [07:59] * Lancelot vomits [07:59] you too [08:00] I need to track down a 'better' web site printing front end. Firefox and other browsers juat have way to many issues these days with some sites. For example I get 1 page thast actually prints from this (very neat info) site [08:00] kickingintender, furiousiso mount? [08:00] http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Graphic-Cards.130.0.html [08:00] Page 2 of 2 - is totally blank. so i loose half the info on the site [08:00] Dr_Willis, can you use IPP instead of lpd/q? [08:00] kickingintender: when in doubt use the Mount command. [08:01] bribroder: it might be able to. the printer showed up as like 5 different 'things' in the CUPS scans.. smb, ipp, and a few others. [08:01] abhi_nav do u think can i mount other types of images also with that tool [08:01] can someone please tell me what is the "source code" option on the "ubuntu software" tab at the "software source" ? [08:01] bribroder: right now its using --> dnssd://Brother%20HL-2170W%20series._printer._tcp.local/ whatever dnssd: is [08:02] kickingintender, give it a try. see its discriptin in ufs [08:02] zeffire_s: that enables the 'source' repoositories. if you ever need them. Most people dont [08:02] Dr_Willis, my brother is slightly better behaved with IPP, but similarly slow [08:02] zeffire_s: if you ever want to do development, or compile stuff/recompile packages [08:02] Dr_Willis: i will unchecked it. i dont want the source code of the softwares.. [08:02] zeffire_s, it is used to tell the ubuntu if user wants to download the source of repsective software or not? if not selected it will only download program if selected it wll also donwload its source code. source code is the tihng used to compile and install program. in short its the code [08:03] zeffire_s: it dosent install the code till you ask for it. but removing it will gain a little speed on updates [08:03] in ubuntu netbook edition how do i change the command line of shortcuts on the 'desktop'? i need to add an extra argument to one [08:03] Does anyone know where I could find an irc with programmers in it? I need to find one to pay to do some website work. [08:03] Dr_Willis abhi_nav: ok thank you! [08:03] bribroder: i will try that. So far this slowness is the ionly issue ive had with that printer [08:03] brunsgenus: well thats offtopic for here, but maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic ? [08:03] zeffire_s, welcome. :) [08:03] brunsgenus: there is ##programming [08:04] Thanks [08:04] I'm having trouble playing dvd's [08:04] its saying it cannot read from specific resource [08:04] its not my drive, and its not my dvd...i have a fresh install of ubuntu [08:04] hello evry1.

TIA [08:07] (sorry) [08:08] Motilon, file system? for lucid? select ext4 [08:08] kickingintender, you will get its info in ubuntu software center (USF) [08:08] kickingintender, click on more info button [08:08] so is it available in software center [08:09] abhi_nav: ok, thx [08:11] hi, is there an app in ubuntu that lets me edit boot options like which kernel to use etc? [08:11] naftilos76 no [08:11] naftilos76: theres limited gui tools for that task. theres the grub2 configs you can edit via a text editor to change most anything. Once you learn how [08:11] an editor, and /etc/default/grub [08:11] is there anyway to organize files without actually changing their physical location and name? [08:12] like a little virtual drawer which you can hover over? [08:12] prince_jammys: i know that! just thought that there would be something else! thnks anyway...\ [08:12] naftilos76: i know you know that. i wasn't being entirely serious [08:12] WXZ what do you want to do? how do you want to 'virtually' organize them? [08:13] well a little drawer that I can "hover" over [08:13] brasero says some plugins are missing how 2 install them [08:13] and it pops out all the files I put in there would be nice [08:13] or atleast some kind of box on my desktop, everything within the box is part of group A or something [08:14] I was (will?) actually go as far as redrawing the desktop background [08:14] but I thought I'd come here before I do something stupid [08:14] prince_jammys: my wireless microsoft keyboard ver 1.1 does not work when i get the menu to select kernel but it works if i select to get into the BIOS. have you got any idea what is causing that? is there an option in /etc/default/grub? [08:14] WXZ, so like... shortcuts to files? in a folder on your desktop? [08:15] mmm... that doesn't really work [08:15] naftilos76: Ive had some machines where USB keyboards dont work in the GRUB menus. but do in BIOS. Theres a 'legacy' usb option in bios that MIGHT make them work in the grub menus. [08:15] unless I name all the shortcuts with a special prefix [08:15] so I know they're all part of the same group :s [08:16] WXZ: with soft links. you can organize all sorts of things.. but that may get complex [08:16] WXZ, use folders within folders to create groups [08:16] I don't want to use folders though, that's the point [08:16] Dr_Willis: ok thanks! I ve got that disabled! I'll try enabling it! thanks [08:16] changing the physical location of the files = a no no [08:16] see you in a min... [08:17] WXZ, if you make shortcuts also known as soft links or symbolic links, you can use folders without actually moving the original file [08:17] can someone trigger that thing that tells you to address people you're talking to so it's not lost in the chatter? [08:17] so have a folder of "soft links" is what you're saying [08:17] yeah. [08:18] !who | bribroder [08:18] bribroder: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:18] hehe [08:18] thanks [08:18] !what [08:18] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:18] How can I get rhythembox to detect my ipof touch with IOS4? [08:18] well alright, not exactly what I was hoping for [08:18] but thanks [08:18] WXZ: there's likely an applet/app/gizmo that does what you want [08:18] WXZ, you could try Avant Window Navigator [08:19] googlin' [08:19] check out the apps that come with gnome's panel [08:19] all the add-to ones [08:20] I'll do it, but I don't think there are none (atleast in the standard ones, maybe I could d/l some though) [08:20] Who would win in a fight, #ubuntu's bots or #debian's? [08:21] dpkg is a serious contender. [08:21] heh [08:21] (h) [08:21] wxz, check out AWN [08:21] yeah, I'm dling it now [08:21] you can put folders in a dock-like thing and they pop up with their contents [08:22] WXZ, still need to put the links in the folder, though, AFAIK [08:22] I know [08:22] you have any idea how to do the folder thing though? [08:25] so you have a file you want to put in the folder [08:25] right click, make link [08:25] drag to folder [08:25] yeah, I know [08:25] I'm talking about the avant thing, where you can put that folder on the navbar [08:25] and make it pop up [08:25] WXZ, i use cairo dock [08:26] when will youtube make ogv compatible?

[08:32] prince is more correct [08:32] yes sounds just perfect [08:32] bribroder: next to the last post on the page.. scroll WAY down. :) [08:33] Dr_Willis, thanks...

I bookmarked that url. and added a comment for my exact printer. Hope it gets fixed in the next release. Ive not seen any lost functionality from using the generic drivers. [08:37] udssr_shorty: i had some firefox update today. but I have a lot of extra ppa's enabled. [08:37] udssr_shorty: useing 3.6.6 right now.

[08:39] udssr_shorty: so be sure to enable the Backports repository [08:39] Dr_Willis, ok thanks i will check [08:39] is it the same code for all pc hardwares to show speed of fans , temperatures of cpu ,hdd, gpu, motherboard ? [08:40] mikeXy: that sort of info is often very very different from one PC maker/mb/ to another. it can cause a lot of problems [08:41] hi guys.....I have a question how long would it take to convert a 2 TB hard from ext3 to ntfs using a gparted live CD....I know I am off topic a bit [08:41] any ideas? [08:42] Im am not even sure gparted can Convert from ext3 to NTFS. [08:42] hi [08:42] I think it can [08:42] any guesses if it can? [08:42] time guesses I mean [08:42] mattwj2002: try it and see. i dont think it can. [08:43] it would depend on how full the HD is. :) [08:43] and i would say a few hrs.. to be safe [08:43] my husband tried to upgrade his ubuntu to 10.04, it's erroring and won't finish the bootup.

[08:46] chalcedny, I agree with hiexpo... if possible, backup your data and reformat the machine [08:46] bribroder, thank you, i do volunteer on another nwtwork and here.. but i hate being stupid.

[08:47] u_pill, that's correct [08:47] bribroder, he didn't do backups and has things we can't lose [08:47] yeah I just installed ubuntu today [08:47] bribroder ok. thanks! [08:47] i could scream [08:47] it was really fast! [08:47] ShadowFoxBiH: hardware withs upported 3d drivers. [08:47] 10.04 is great! [08:47] chalcedny, you have a live cd, right? no external backup drive? [08:47] ok so does that include integrated graphics or no? [08:48] ShadowFoxBiH: totally depends on the chipset.

[08:50] ShadowFoxBiH: easiest way to check is to go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and see if it's set to either "Normal" or "Extra" and if not, try selecting one. You'll be told one way or the other if they work or not [08:50] i have extra on [08:50] no issues [08:50] ShadowFoxBiH: then its working.. :) [08:50] ShadowFoxBiH: hold down the windows key and move the mouse wheel [08:50] mattwj2002: are you still there? [08:50] yeah I am here [08:50] :) [08:50] thats the 'zoom' feature my wife loves [08:51] lol its nice [08:51] alsoneed simple ccsm [08:51] what is up? [08:51] !manual | ShadowFoxBiH [08:51] ShadowFoxBiH: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [08:51] thanks [08:51] I am used to fedora but ubuntu is not exactly the same [08:52] mattwj2002: I wouldn't take that 'complete ntfs capabilities' too seriously. Unless it's changed recently, ubuntu's ntfs implementation still lacked some key features e.g. a full filesystem check capability. And I'm with Dr_Willis about converting from ext3 to ntfs -- I don't recall anyone ever doing that via gparted before... [08:53] hmm [08:53] ShadowFoxBiH, get simple ccsm also me be on there already not sure but with it you can do even more neat stuff [08:53] I'll let you know in about 20 minutes [08:53] I thought I did it before [08:53] I just couldn't remember for sure [08:54] mattwj2002: I definitely believe that you could create an ntfs partition and copy the contents of an ext3 partition to it, but an in-place conversion sounds unlikely, to be honest... [08:54] is there really a rain feature? [08:54] i am using ubuntu 10.04. from live cd conky and "system monitor" shows that i am not using swap space(ok for that). but when i install it on hdd conky and "system monitor" shows that i am using 1 gb swap space. but i am sure that i have not make a swap space on installation. i re-installed ubuntu again but the problem not solved. my hardware is good : i have 2gb ddr2 ram, intel with 4 cpu. normally i have never use up on 1 gb ram. so why ubuntu uses swap spa [08:54] delete_w, you need swap [08:55] hiexpo: no i dont need. [08:55] ShadowFoxBiH: compiz has so many useless eyecandy effects..its scary [08:55] lol well time to find out how many there actually are [08:55] delete_w, did you let ubuntu automatically partition the hard drives during the install? [08:55] hiexpo: i normally always have at least 1 gb free on my ram. [08:55] bribroder: no. i did manually. [08:56] bribroder: i look for gparted for a swap space but there is no a swap space. [08:56] Dr_Willis: useful eyecandy. Interesting concept.... [08:56] delete_w: linux will generally swap out unused memory so it can have a more effective disk cache, you can google for "swappiness" if you want to change this behaviour. [08:56] dones one need to sign up and register with hulu b4 downloading hulu desktop for linux? or no? [08:56] You really Do want at least a small swap partition. That can save your backside if somthign goes berzerk and starts grabing all the ram. I also recall some benchmarks ages ago (out of date? now) that showed even if not used. some how you did benifit from having a small swap parittion. [08:56] delete_w, type free-m and pastebin the output [08:56] sorry, free -m [08:57] bribroder: free-m: command not found [08:57] free -m [08:58] delete_w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [08:58] bribroder http://textsnip.com/777a83 [08:59] hi [08:59] I have set Some startup programs by the "Setting Programs to Start Automatically When You Log In" in the Startup programs dialog. But how remove them again? [08:59] Also dont start up last session... [09:00] wow, I guess you have swap... does it show up in fdisk? [09:00] hi [09:00] !hi | techproman [09:00] techproman: 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! [09:00] whats up? [09:00] So I installed the Intel i7 980X CPU (3.33 gHz, 6 cores with hyperthreading) on my server, but /proc/cpuinfo is reporting each of 12 cores at only 1600mHz. That doesn't seem right [09:00] anyone know if theres a window manager out there that supports windows that rotate or change shape? [09:01] Meekro: it'll clock down the CPUs when they're not used to save power. [09:01] Anyone kan help me? [09:01] With what? [09:01] SwedeMike: but it's still aware of their full potential when they're needed? is there any way I can clock them up to convince myself of that? [09:01] have set Some startup programs by the "Setting Programs to Start Automatically When You Log In" in the Startup programs dialog. But how remove them again? Also dont start up last session... [09:01] With this.... [09:02] Meekro: do something that'll keep them busy and check. play a media file or something [09:02] Meekro: CPUs are scaled down. With a CPU that fast it will rarely go very high. [09:02] Meekro: isn't there some kind of benchmark you can run? [09:03] Loshki: if you know of a good CPU benchmarking tool, I'd love to give it a shot [09:03] zamnedix: there was one called 'metisse' (i think thats spelt right) that had all sorts of weird effects like that. Compiz has Some features like that. but it depends on wha tyou need. [09:04] o/ [09:04] zamnedix: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metisse [09:04] Meekro: I see a bunch of hits when I google "ubuntu cpu benchmark". Poke around those a bit...

[09:05] hmm xscreensaver is coming on even if i select the "disable screensaver" option in VLC, is this cause it only works with gnome-screensaver or something? [09:05] hmm I actually want to clone ALL of my Ubuntu [09:06] Thanks Dr_Willis [09:06] halvors: ask your question once every 30 minutes or so until someone answers, don't harass people. [09:06] SwedeMike: Stop doing what? [09:06] Can someone please help me with my login problems? [09:06] has anybody booted lucid with ati 5770 gfx? i upgraded linux-firmware from lucid-proposed repos and installed driver from ati website... but the display still goes to sleep on boot [09:06] kick [09:06] !automate [09:06] !details | xtheunknown0 [09:06] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [09:06] xtheunknown0: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[09:07] halvors, open the CLI and go to ~/.config/autostart [09:07] KnightStalker: Ironically, that isn't what ubottu calls cloning. You want to look for 'bare metal backup' or some such... [09:07] xtheunknown0: describe your issue (detailed) to the channel (try to keep it in one single line) [09:07] I should do it in GUI [09:07] bribroder: what you mean what happened ? [09:07] @ubottu: I enter my password, it's the right password, the screen flashes like I'm about to log onto Lucid, but then it goes back to the login screen. [09:08] xtheunknown0: ubottu is a bot. :) ie: a program. [09:08] bribroder: i have not make any swap space. so which space using ubuntu now ? [09:08] delete_w, does your mysterious swap space show up in fdisk? [09:08] xtheunknown0: try making a new user. see if they can login. [09:08] delete_w: did you even read the swap FAQ page I pasted to you? [09:08] halvors, CLI = command line interface [09:08] xtheunknown0, also try "failsafe" option in the login window [09:08] How do I make a new user using the command line? [09:09] xtheunknown0: sudo adduser billgates, then sudo passwd billgates [09:09] bribroder: And then? [09:09] SwedeMike: i have already read it. many time. i just found to kill command to use swap space. but this is just a temp solution. [09:09] But its bad it is no GUI, it do Ubuntu useless for normal users... [09:09] halvors, delete the items from the autostart folder you don't wish to start anymore [09:09] bribroder no. ithere is no a space 1 gb on my all hdd.

[09:10] SwedeMike: no any swap work on fstab file. [09:10] Dr_Willis, I don't have that, I have to move a file.. [09:11] delete_w, pastebin your fstab?

[09:11] bribroder http://textsnip.com/4eca65 [09:11] nowimproved: the .Xsession and .xinitrc files are normally used by startx [09:12] delete_w: the command "swapon -s" should show you which partition(s) and/or files are used as swapdevices [09:12] Dr_Willis, oh yes [09:12] KnightStalker: check out http://www.mondorescue.org/about.shtml [09:12] xtheunknown0, did you try the "failsafe" option in the login window?

[09:13] I don't understand codebrainz [09:14] KnightStalker, if you just want a bit for bit backup, you can use dd or one of it's descendants. [09:14] bribroder: It's bad it not are possible to use Ubuntu for normal user. You need to be a programmer to use it? [09:14] xtheunknown0, where you type your username/password, there should be a drop down box for session, and in there, there should be a "safe" option or some such [09:15] halvors, maybe you're not a normal user [09:15] Ah - I must have sudo apt-get removed it because I only have Language and Keyboard !!! :o [09:15] halvors, maybe you should take the advice offered to you [09:15] lol halvors what in the world are you talking about [09:15] programming yeah right [09:15] where do i find the mdadm-raid upstat script? [09:15] do you even know how to program your vcr son ? [09:16] lol i'm a political science student... if I can figure out how to delete the crap from my autostart, you can do it too [09:16] I ask, whay is Ubuntu not avaliable to use without useing the terminal? [09:16] blabla [09:16] /ignore [09:16] because halvors you are not using windows [09:16] xtheunknown0, i don't use gdm, but i think it's a different drop down box than that [09:17] I have never used Windows before, how is it? [09:17] !ot | halvors [09:17] halvors: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:17] lol [09:17] it's an excellent workstation os [09:17] mattwj2002: your 20 minutes is about up. Do you have anything to report? [09:17] and a terrible client [09:17] SwedeMike: OK. i try it. i have to restart to see. if the problem still i will come back. thank you! [09:17] * Dr_Willis missed the memo on when we 'had to limit ourselfs to the gui' [09:17] so.. nobody has lucid working with 5770? [09:18] i have lucid working with 5970 [09:18] 5 or 10 more [09:18] !manual | Dr_Willis [09:18] how did you get it to boot?

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [09:18] bribroder: I helped edit that during beta. :) [09:18] my display goes into sleep mode whenever I start X.. [09:18] :p [09:18] ShadowFoxBiH: Maybe one reason to people not use Linux ;) [09:18] codebrainz there are no other clickable items on my login screen [09:18] Dr_Willis, does it explain how to firefox?? [09:18] Now we have all totally frogotten halvors actual problem. [09:19] I installed official ati drivers, fglrx.. nothing works [09:19] bribroder: not sure. ive not really looked at the other changes since early beta. [09:19] xtheunknown0, i'm pretty sure there is, make sure your username is selected, and i think it's along the bottom [09:19] mattwj2002: the suspense is killing me.... [09:19] bribroder: i did print it out at work and gave a few copies to people. :) [09:19] lol [09:20] okay, my filesystem just got corrupted and I lost the preferences and administration menus in GNOME. what do I need to reinstall to get them back? [09:20] help me friends [09:20] I know this is offtopic but no one is on the ubuntu offtopics or mint offtopics, so, has anyone tried manhattan os beta 1? its based on ubuntu [09:21] there's dozens of confirmed cases on launchpad, and the only official response was a new linux-firmware package in lucid-proposed which doesn't work [09:21] lindsaymobil22: theres always #linux channel [09:21] lindsaymobil22, looks interesting! i may check it out [09:22] thanx dr_willis [09:22] Dr-Willis what server does it use [09:22] lindsaymobil22: i find most ubuntu variants are not really worth messing with. :) [09:22] lindsaymobil22: Hmm? #linux channel is here on freenode.. [09:22] yeah [09:22] guest2, did you try the Hardware Drivers application? it's usually pretty good with ATI drivers [09:22] thank you [09:22] yeah i got my 5970 to work with a new set of drivers [09:22] @codebrainz - Well it isn't - it's just language and keyboard - not that different to http://images.pcworld.com/howto/graphics/158059-Ubuntu-18-Login-Screen_copy_350.jpg after clicking on username [09:22] lindsaymobil22: just what the world needed. Another linux distro.... [09:23] bribroder, i'm 100% unable to use/start X [09:23] Loshki: but it has prettier thmes and artwork! [09:23] oh, balls [09:23] xtheunknown0, in that version, you would use the "Select Session..." option in the menu, but i think the new version is a bit different [09:23] You guys should remember that when Ubuntu was forked people probably said over in #debian, "oh great another crappy off-shoot" [09:23] hi, [09:23] ShadowFoxBiH, from ati website? [09:24] I'm printing from XP to Ubuntu printer but it's not working. It was working before. now I can't find it in the share but I can see a shared file [09:24] good luck getting drivers from there that work [09:24] where did you get yours from? [09:25] let me find the link [09:25] okay [09:25] I have the results [09:25] mattwj2002: tell us... [09:25] Can someone tell me how to try log in using failsafe mode in 10.04? [09:25] you can't convert [09:25] :( [09:25] guest2, can you try startx in TTY 9 10 11 or 12? [09:25] xtheunknown0, hold shift during boot [09:25] i don't have tty 9 10 11 or 12 [09:25] guest2 try the drivers form the ati website seems they got new ones [09:25] the ubuntu page says not to get 64 bit for regular desktop use? the chip i have is an amd 64, should i just not get it? [09:26] luckily I'll have a bunch of free space [09:26] so I can resize, move, etc [09:26] chalcedony, I've used 64bit on AMDs and Intels in my home desktop, it seems great to me [09:26] it will take a while though [09:27] mattwj2002: remind me why you wanted to go from ext3 to ntfs in the first place? [09:27] xtheunknown0, and when grub shows up select recovery mode [09:27] what does this mean configure: error: wireless-tools library and development headers >= 28pre9 not installed or not functional [09:27] xtheunknown0, for example, this: http://ubuntu-pics.de/bild/20128/gdm_screenshot_buzQpR.png do you see the Sessions drop down? [09:27] i have 64 bit on my desktop now, but it's 9.04 [09:27] chalcedny, can you backup to an external? [09:27] arunkumar413: that means something is not installed right? [09:27] @codebrainz: no [09:27] xtheunknown0, or with the default theme: http://www.debianadmin.com/wp-content/gallery/1004/1.png [09:27] oCean_: but it is installed [09:27] I have a dual boot Ubuntu and Windows [09:28] arunkumar413: ? [09:28] !netsplit [09:28] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:28] chalcedony: the site is a little old and over-consertive I use 64bit whenever i can. How much ram do you have? [09:28] I want access in both operating systems [09:28] oCean_: i'm trying to build nm from source [09:28] codebrainz: no again [09:28] Loshki: you still here? === Nijverheid is now known as Guest43521 [09:28] xtheunknown0, i suppose it's possible you delete gnome. you could try to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package and have it dragged back in [09:28] dang netsplit [09:29] i don't know what's on the box i'm building, the issue is that the box can't see the new onboard lan card with 8.04 - needs the upgrade - 1 gig ram - it's not for gaming it's for storage mostly [09:29] arunkumar413: yes, and...? === Me is now known as Guest13091 [09:29] I've got the first two (language and keyboard) but like I said, I lost session. [09:29] when i tried to configure i got that error [09:29] chalcedony: if you have 4gb+ ram - then you will want to go with 64bit - for a fileserver. It proberly wont matter. [09:30] arunkumar413: install what it asks for. [09:30] chalcedony: theres very few reasons to not use 64bit these days [09:30] xtheunknown0, other than reinstalling gnome (as above), I'm not sure what else you could do. [09:30] qpt what the heck? [09:30] Dr_Willis, ok ty [09:30] oCean_: ya tried,it says the version is already the newest.see this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JA1TfjaP [09:31] why is complaining about raping women and calling us fags? [09:31] bribroder: just ignore please [09:31] bribroder, ignore it it's someone teasing [09:31] struck me as ironic :) [09:31] bribroder, his mom wouldn't give him his allowance [09:31] lucid is really slow, 5 seconds for most mouse clicks to respond but same hardware works great in gNewSense. Where do I start looking to 'fix' this? [09:31] Alright then: I sudo iwlist wlan0 scan in CLI, then iwconfig, then dhclient but I can't sudo apt-get anything [09:31] could someone help me as I'm not able to send files from my old nokia 6600 via bluetooth to my lucid box. [09:32] I have found that vnc is really slow with lucid [09:32] unusedly slow [09:32] arunkumar413: ok, you're close, but missing the point :) It says it is missing the wirelesstools development files. Not wireless tools itself [09:32] *unusable [09:32] arunkumar413: wait, let me see which package it is [09:32] oCean_: how to proceed [09:32] doesn't even boot on 6-12 month old ati cards ;( [09:33] should lamp be in the repos? what package should i be searching for [09:33] Ummm... probably Apache and MySQL [09:33] !lamp | damian_-_ [09:33] damian_-_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:34] lighttpd & postgresql [09:34] arunkumar413: I think I found the package, but let me show you: Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com, enter "wireless development" in searchbox, tick the descriptions and it'll show up with relevant packages [09:34] mattwj2002, not using vnc [09:34] hrm, after reinstalling ati drivers.. 'X' in recovery console now open a blank screen.. but booting ubuntu still causes monitor to go into standby :( [09:35] arunkumar413: my guess is you need package "libiw-dev" [09:35] i'm not able send/receive files from my nokia 6600 in ubuntu lucid. using bluez. any clue? [09:36] What application do you recommend me to open / convert .chm (MS HTML Help) files? There are several of them in the Software Center (xCHM, E-book reader, CHM Viewer, ChmSee) -- how do I choose? [09:36] gryllida: try one.. if you dont like it.. try another. [09:36] so, how do i tell what is causing the sleeping monitor issue [09:37] lol. [09:37] guest2, does this happen right after a fresh install? [09:37] yes, lucid has no support for 6-12 month old ati cards [09:37] please help me with the bluetooth [09:37] had to use text-based installer.. [09:38] gryllida, i've used chmsee, it works fine for opening [09:38] guest2: which card? [09:38] doesn't even drop back to low-resolution vesa.. [09:38] 5770 [09:38] guest2, :\ I have a Radeon 4850, works perfectly [09:38] but that's 12+ months old [09:38] so specifically that period [09:38] weird [09:39] oCean_: sorry my network is slow [09:39] guest2: Hold shift during boot and choose the recovery mode option. Then choose the root shell with networking option and run "sudo jockey-text" to install the proprietary ATI drivers. [09:39] codebrainz, Dr_Willis, Why are there several of them in first place? [09:40] i'm in recovery mode, I intalled the ati drivers [09:40] gryllida, choice [09:40] the monitor still goes into standby on boot [09:40] guest2: How did you install them? [09:41] ./ati-driver-intaller* [09:41] installed xorg 7.5 driver for debian-style distro.. [09:41] then i ran ati-config --initial to create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.. [09:41] guest2: It's best to use the packaged drivers. [09:41] Boy am I glad I DON'T have ATI :-D [09:42] oCean_: its asking for dbus [09:42] But yes, Jordan_U is correct. [09:42] guest2, have you tried booting with the nomodeset option? [09:42] oCean_: No package 'dbus-1' found [09:42] No package 'dbus-glib-1' found [09:42] gryllida: why should there only be 1 :) [09:43] bribroder, via cd or hdd? [09:43] please help with the bluetooth. [09:43] gryllida: xchm is prioberly using the original/minimal X libs. Others are proberly designed with different goals. and are not as old. [09:43] guest2: In fact, I'm not sure if ATI's installer disables KMS, which is not compatible witht the proprietary drivers. [09:43] geohacker, whats the matter [09:43] simar: just that I cannot send/recieve files from my nokia 6600 old one [09:44] simar: using bluez. [09:44] guest2, hdd... add it to grub and update-grub [09:44] hi [09:44] everyone [09:44] geohacker, geohacker which ubutnu version are you using? [09:44] jordan_u, so i'd need to remove those? any idea what they are called? [09:44] simar: im on lucid. [09:45] What good things can you do on ubuntu> [09:45] ? [09:45] * [09:45] guest2, more specifically, edit /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" [09:45] cause I have it as my main machine [09:45] guest2, then update-grub [09:45] arunkumar413: If you insist on rebuilding/compiling it yourself, restart your search at packages.ubuntu.com, and find all dependencies you need. Could be lots of work, that is why we recommend to use packages from the repositories [09:45] geohacker, whats the error message?

[09:46] guest2: First remove the drivers installed by ATI's installer, and the Xorg.conf that it created. Then run "jockey-text" to install and configure the packaged drivers. [09:46] appi_uppi: theres some issues with video cards/drivers and wireless. [09:46] appi_uppi: but it all depends on yoru exact setup [09:47] !help [09:47] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:47] bribroder, that didn't work ;( [09:47] simar: so ? what do you suggest me to do? [09:48] guest2, you followed up with update-grub, yes? [09:48] Dr_Willis, Oh ok, then will try to install the fresh one. [09:48] monitor still goes into "no signal" 5 seconds after booting [09:48] ye [09:48] Dr_Willis, thanks for your info [09:48] :\ [09:48] geohacker, try to pair from the phone. Sometimes the connection request from the pc may be of some other format like using some fixed keys etc... [09:49] simar: tried. but still i cannot use the bluetooth DUN nor send files [09:49] Jordan_U, won't that put it into the initial state? [09:49] geohacker, make your pc discoverable in the option menu in the bluetooth icon [09:49] guest2: No, the packaged proprietary drivers are not installed by default. [09:50] simar: tried that. i can pair, but cannot send/recieve files or use bluetooth DUN [09:50] geohacker, ok, have you tried this for other phhones? [09:50] geohacker, does that work? [09:50] guest2, the restricted drivers are definitely a good bed [09:51] simar: yeah it works with other phones. but not with this particular one. [09:52] simar: but i can confirm this is not an issue with my phone. [09:53] Ive had Phones that connect to each other.. then have a problem with one specific phone also. I can get bluetooth workign good withmy phone -> linux. but i cant get it working from Phone->windows. :) go figure. [09:54] guest2, if restricted drivers don't work, have you tried xforcevesa? [09:54] geohacker, This is the issue of the command the serial commands that are send while object push or others. 600 is a old phone may have old specifications. try googling around may be you could find somthing then ask in chat .. or you may also ask in ubuntu forums [09:54] oCean_:what does this means "Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DBUS_CFLAGS [09:54] and DBUS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details." [09:55] !kbd [09:55] hrm, Cannot connect to D-BUS when I run jockey-text [09:55] bribroder, not yet [09:55] oCean_: how to set those variables [09:55] guest2, some forum posts suggest that may work [09:55] hello [09:56] xtheunknown0, hi [09:56] xtheunknown0, what your issue? [09:56] What is the package for the Session pop-up menu at the bottom of the login screen for Lucid? [09:56] i think that's just part of gdm? [09:56] guest2: Try running "service dbus start" before "jockey-text" [09:56] xtheunknown0: those get generated from the various foo.desktop files in specific locations [09:57] B/c I was sudo apt-get removing a handful of packages using the tab button a lot and now I've lost the Session pop-up menu at the start. [09:57] xtheunknown0: for example -> /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop [09:58] is there *any way* to skip loading network drivers on the minimal install? [09:58] xtheunknown0, like i said before, you're best bet is probably just to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package to drag in all the crap you probably need to get up and running (ie. gnome) [09:59] Does anyone know what are the packages about is kbd, gpm general purpose mouse driver , evdev and mousedev .. these are drivers but for what purposes ??? [09:59] HELP === macode|afk is now known as macode [09:59] simar: dont do 'HELP' like that.. [09:59] simar: gpm = mouse support in the console. [09:59] simar: whoaaa calm down [09:59] A hah - do I need acpi-support, acpid, or any of the evolutions? [09:59] simar: what do you want to do [09:59] "service dbus start" > "unable to connect to Upstart" [09:59] simar: fire up synaptic and read their descriptions. [10:00] ikonia, I'm a new triager resaerching on touchpads .. [10:00] simar: gpm is only needed if youw ant to use the mouse on the console. [10:00] simar: ok - so if you are part of the simar then you should know that this channel is for ubuntu support only, not generic linux questions [10:00] Dr_Willis, I got gpm . Is it a part of default installation? [10:01] guest2: Did you use the recovery mode boot option or did you do something like adding init=/bin/bash as a kernel paramter to get to a shell at boot? [10:01] i used rescue console [10:01] I'm trying to apt-get install stuff and I get Could not resolve 'au.archive.ubuntu.com' - what can I do? [10:01] ikonia, ya thats why i ask question about the general information about packages that i mentioned.. [10:02] Dr_Willis, whats kbd? [10:02] i guess things are very b0rked... [10:02] i'll try jockey-text after a fresh reinstall [10:03] xtheunknown0, you have an improper internet connection i suppose [10:03] Jordan_U, should I expect forcevesa to work with the standard iso? [10:03] @simar: What do you mean by that? [10:03] or should I use the alt iso which takes ~90 mins to install [10:03] I just found a USB joypad in my box-o-bits, and I want to get it working. Is there a GUI calibrator and something to do mapping? [10:03] simar: improper internet connection ??? === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [10:04] xtheunknown0, the mirror works fine here through firefox, are you connected to the net? can you ping that address? [10:04] ikonia, I mean not a working connection. I get such errors when the internet connection is down.. [10:04] xtheunknown0, [10:04] simar: what about DNS - could it not just be a dns issue ? [10:04] No, I can't ping it [10:05] xtheunknown0: can you resolve anything else ? [10:05] How do I try to resolve something else? [10:05] Hi all, can someone help me? I have hp probook 4515s, and after cca. 10-15min my lcd backlight get lower,,, how to incrace it againt? i can't fix it with power management. Tnx [10:05] xtheunknown0: can you browse any websites in the browser ? [10:05] ikonia,may be but i could be about connection also .. [10:05] I'm in the CLI because I can't actually login. [10:05] xtheunknown0, try pinging google.com or other websites [10:05] xtheunknown0: you can't login ??? [10:06] ikonia, whats the right channel to ask the question about the driver packages .. [10:06] simar: ask with the driver maintainers [10:06] simar: sorry, the package maintainers [10:06] simar: if you look on launchpad.net you'll find out who maintains the package and you can contact them [10:06] B/c the password I enter is right but the screen flashes and sends me back to the login screen. [10:06] guest2: If upstart isn't working properly then you have more serious problems than graphics. [10:06] xtheunknown0: ok - so how did you get to the command line ? [10:06] Ctr-Alt-F1 [10:07] xtheunknown0: you would still have to login to get a command prompt [10:07] Yep [10:07] xtheunknown0: ok, now I see where you are going [10:07] ikonia, ok but i think synaptics is not on launchpad? Does in your knowledge they have a channel on irc? [10:07] xtheunknown0: you've not logged into the desktop, so gnome-network-manager has not configured your network connection for you yet [10:07] OK...so what can I do about this? [10:07] simar: synaptics is the package manager, not the package, you want to ask the maintainers of the packages gdm, etc [10:08] ikonia, doesn't the NetworkManager daemon handle that outside of Gnome? [10:08] codebrainz: no [10:08] codebrainz: only activates when you login [10:08] actually - that's not quite true [10:08] ikonia, i'm talking about xserver-xorg-input-synaptics this is the touchpad drivers and not a part of x. [10:09] ikonia, i think only nm-applet is after the login, networkmanager itself should run on boot, no? [10:09] simar: ok - so talk to the person who maintains xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [10:09] codebrainz: correct, better description of what I was trying to say, thank you [10:09] ikonia, ok thanks [10:09] guest2: When booting the Desktop CD try pressing f4 and choosing safe graphics mode. [10:10] arunkumar413, what my guess is in the configuration file of that nm, you wll find this things [10:10] codebrainz: Connections are only made before login if they are "shared to all users" [10:10] hi all [10:10] hey all, i just reinstalled ubuntu, but i cant remember what apt-get i need so i can start developing and video codecs? [10:10] hi everybody [10:11] anybdy hav any idea why the ubuntu 10.04 taskbar freeze ? [10:11] So how do I properly connect to the network found by iwconfig? [10:11] ja660k, what kind of development? [10:11] ja660k, for which platform you want to develop using which language etc? [10:11] Jordan_U, there is no such mode === david is now known as Guest11243 [10:11] Hi, is it possible to mount an ext3 partition s.t. only root has read/write access and everyone else ro? [10:11] xtheunknown0, is there no way to use a hard wired connection temporarily? [10:11] any help on taskbar freeze bug ? [10:11] just "normal", "use driver update disc", "oem install (for manufacturers)" [10:12] @codebrainz: Oh ok [10:12] codebrainz, any... i remember just installing something via apt, then getting whatever language i needed. [10:12] ja660k, for videocodes have a look at medibuntu [10:12] Ahox kk [10:12] anyone help in taskbar freeze bug === wildbat is now known as wildbat|GER-GOAL [10:12] guest2: Did you press F4? [10:12] ja660k, it's completely dependant on which language and such you want to use. are you thinking of build-essential? [10:13] yes [10:13] hi [10:13] codebrainz.. yes! :-D thankyou... btw, what does that do? [10:13] hi codebrainz... could you help on taskbar freezi ng problem [10:13] guest2: I just checked that the option exists on an lubuntu 10.04 LiveCD, so I would expect it to be there in the standard Ubuntu CD as well. [10:13] codebrainz [10:13] ja660k, "This package contains an informational list of packages which are [10:13] considered essential for building Debian packages. This package also [10:13] depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the [10:13] build-essential packages installed." -dpkg [10:13] sorry [10:14] Jordan_U, F4 on the display where it says "try Ubuntu without installing, install ubuntu, check disc for defects" etc? [10:14] codebrainz, thanks :) [10:14] guest2: Yes.

[10:15] greetings eartlings [10:15] and i hav to restart the system after tht [10:15] ny idea Codebrainz [10:16] hrm xforcevesa [10:16] i have a quiestion please [10:16] Codebrainz any help [10:16] * guest2 predicts it fall over again [10:17] im trying to get my webcam to work in the gos dist. Please help [10:17] can__: sorry, but Gos is not supported here [10:17] oh, xforcevesa does work :) [10:17] gprajeesh, relax, and keep it in the channel [10:17] Hello. Are there any way to remove the Ubuntu specific translations and only use the official GNOME ones? [10:17] (i think) [10:18] thought it was based on ubuntu? [10:18] awell [10:18] yes, it does \o/ [10:18] gprajeesh, keep it in the channel, lots of smart people here [10:18] hooray :-) [10:18] !webcam | can__ [10:18] can__: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [10:18] can__: it is based on ubuntu - but its not ubuntu, so it's not supported here as it is different [10:19] anyone on genome panel freeze bug please [10:19] !details | can__ [10:19] can__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [10:19] can__: install cheese see if it works. If it dosent.. well its possible its not supported by linux yet. [10:19] how do i find he correct govener and drivers for my p4...for cpu overclocking?? [10:19] joshmuffin: no details, it's not supported here === angela is now known as firefoz [10:19] Dr_Willis: gos is not supported here [10:19] ubuntu version 8 === Me is now known as Guest80624 [10:19] can__: it's not [10:19] can__: i suggest using a more up to date release of ubuntu. [10:19] can__, seeing as im not allowed to help you here, as it upsets some :S:S would you like to pm [10:20] cpufreqhelp5: there isn't such as thing as "cpu" drivers, overclocking is a hardware thing [10:20] can__: it will have more support. [10:20] ubuntu is finally sexy enough to cause me to drop linux mint.. [10:20] can, many people aren't on the 8.04 "page" anymore [10:20] the problem is the Genome panel freezes. i am using ubuntu 10.04 [10:20] after the freeze i have to restart the system [10:20] !offtopic | guest2 [10:20] guest2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:20] s [10:20] joshmuffin: good attitude, thank you [10:21] ok josmuffin [10:21] joshmuffin: (I meant helping the guy out in pm) [10:21] ikonia, sorry i just think that we should help if we can [10:21] well tell that to my ibm thinkpad ? i tried ubuntu 9 and possibly ten but it had a fit lol! [10:21] ok hhow do i setup cpufreq properly for my hw? [10:21] gprajeesh, maybe it's this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/187540 [10:21] how do I go about checking/outputting an in-depth view/list of all processes an application uses? [10:21] so i went back to basics [10:21] joshmuffin: that's not the channel policy, but you're welcome to help in pm, thats super cool [10:21] cpufreqhelp5: cpufreq is *not* for overclocking [10:21] can.. th alt instaler are about 700mb [10:22] ikonia, okay, sorry for the attitude [10:22] 0.o [10:22] can__: Most thinkpads should be very well supported. Perhaps check the forums for your exact make/model to see what issues others have had. [10:22] so it can't be used to change the cpu frequency? [10:22] cpufreqhelp5: not beyond it's bounds. as I've said, overclocking is a hardware change, not software [10:23] ubuntu 9 and 10 don't exist, ubuntu is versioned by $YEAR.$MONTH [10:23] i do have powernow-d... [10:23] cpufreqhelp5: that makes no differece [10:23] ikonia, software like cpufreq and powernow d have options to change the cpu freq.. i just need the governer setup [10:24] software changes the hardware settings.. [10:24] cpufreqhelp5: they are not used for overclocking [10:24] i can't set things up by hooking wires to random pins... [10:24] Pirate_Hunter, i think something like ps -A | grep whatever [10:24] software is used for that now [10:24] cpufreqhel5: until more recent chips CPU scaling has only been available on Laptops. Recent CPUs have unlocked the multipliers somewhat to allow for scaling but you won't be able to overclock from inside the OS. The max clock is set in the BIOS [10:24] ... [10:24] cpufreqhelp5: cpufreq uses standard cpu features to *lower* the freq in order to save battery life. overclocking is very board specific and not what cpufreq is intended for. [10:24] I've been able to sudo apt-get install acpi-support and acpid but get 404'ed for gnome-applets and the rest of those packages - why??? [10:25] xtheunknown0, your sources correct? [10:25] xtheunknown0, have you run apt-get update? does that run fine? [10:25] http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [10:25] ook.. you can set the front side bus...thats what i want to do..and overclocking is what i want to do [10:25] codebrainz: no, lol [10:26] xtheunknown0: edit the sources.list and remove the au. at the start of those entries. it could be that server is down [10:26] xtheunknown0: or having issues [10:26] i don't want to change multiplyers in the cpu or it's voltages.. and frontside bus has no locks that i know of.. [10:26] cpufreqhelp5: right, and that is not covered by any standards. each board manufacturer does its own proprietary shit. [10:26] Dr_Willis: nah - it's looking ok [10:27] cpufreqhelp5: this isn't the place to ask how to change the FSB speeds. If you don't already know how to do so, then you shouldn't be OC'ing. [10:27] nwq6152: easy on the lnaguage please [10:27] It's working!!! [10:27] dugger, software called setfsb does not work in linux... [10:27] ikonia: just telling what absence of standards is [10:27] gay [10:27] nwq6152: yes, but you don't need to use offensive language [10:27] Now how do I remove billgates (an account temporarily created)? [10:27] cordel: stop that please. [10:28] xtheunknown0: use the useradmin gui [10:28] xtheunknown0: system -> administration -> users and groups [10:28] huhh [10:28] knwoin g how to mess up text files has nothing to do with wanting my computer to go faster, unless that is my only option in linux [10:28] What about CLI - that's how I created billgates [10:28] xtheunknown0: userdel -r billgates [10:28] ok i want to stream music [10:28] hello, I am trying to boot off a live cd, but I have hit the 5750 raedon bug where I am greeted with a blank screen, I am looking for the cure to this problem [10:28] Thank you, ikonia [10:29] cpufreqhelp5: you CAN'T OC from inside an operating system! Your motherboard sets it at boot and is locked until the next cold boot. [10:29] omg.. [10:29] setfsb is not its own operateing system... [10:29] Awesome - everything works now!!! [10:29] and it can change fsb settings [10:29] yeah asus mother boards are awesome for oc [10:29] codebrainz, will try [10:30] cpufreqhelp5: ok, so we need to step back here. This channel is for ubuntu support issues, overclocking your hardware is nothing to do with ubuntu, so try a better channel dedicated to hardware/overlocking [10:30] Thanks to everyone - include ikonia, your pal around an hour ago and codebrainz! [10:30] *including [10:30] ubuntu is the operateing system... [10:30] I try again: Are there any way to remove the Ubuntu specific translations and only use the official GNOME ones? [10:30] cpufreqhelp5: yes, and we've told you the tools you want to use are not for overclocking, [10:30] that controls the hw i want to overclock.. === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber [10:31] cpufreqhelp5, overclocking is a hardware thing, ubuntu is software. [10:31] cpufreqhelp5, check with your motherboard/cpu manufacturer and see if they provide a linux utility to change this stuff [10:31] is that an ubuntu hardware? or ubuntu overclock? [10:31] cpufreqhelp5: this will be the last time it's explained. The tools you want to use in ubuntu are not for overclocking. [10:31] stop saying it's hw only..its not..softaware is used to change these settings.. [10:32] cpufreqhelp5: yes, but the software you want to use is NOT for overclocking [10:32] ugh.. [10:32] cpufreqhelp5: it's normally do through the bios or specific software, which is not within ubuntu [10:32] So when you guys get the Update Manger screen, how do you guys decide what to install? Do you google the various packages, do you go here to talk about it, do you go to a forum? [10:32] so there is no ubuntu hw or ubuntu overclocking channel? [10:32] nor related to ubuntu [10:32] cpufreqhelp5: there is no such thing [10:32] xtheunknown0: I always install all updates [10:32] xtheunknown0: I take everything. [10:32] so then i'm stuck here... [10:33] Even then I wouldn't try to fiddle with FSB settings while running anyway incase it borks something. [10:33] xtheunknown0: because I trust all my sources [10:33] cpufreqhelp5, overclocking has nothing to do with ubuntu [10:33] looking for somone who knows what to do [10:33] -.- [10:33] cpufreqhelp5: you're welcome to ubuntu support here, but stop asking for overclocking support, the tools you want to use are not in ubuntu [10:33] try ##hardware [10:33] try ##hardware [10:33] or google [10:33] heh [10:33] I use 10.04 on a Dell Latitude with Intel Mobile IntelB. GM45 Express graphics chipset. Every once in a while Gnome replaces my screen with something colourful but inreadable, and then quickly returns to the normal display. Is that normal or something to worry about? [10:33] cpufreqhelp5, it can be done with or without many different os's depending on your cpu ect [10:33] i tried google, but those comands did not work [10:33] cpufreqhelp5: because (as you've been told) the tools you want are not in ubuntu [10:33] cpufreqhelp5, none the less, its off topic here [10:34] bye [10:34] and apparantly i can't set my fsb or cpu clock speeds with those tools [10:34] cpufreqhelp5: correcct [10:34] even tho it's in the softwares documantation and others have used it for overclocking [10:35] cpufreqhelp5: what software documentation ? [10:35] cpufreqhelp5: please show me the documentation that says it's for overclocking your hardware [10:35] how to disable ICMP completely? [10:35] my only issue is those commands don't work for me..and the "govener" has not been setup yet [10:35] cpufreqhelp5: show me the documentation that tells me the tools are used for overclocking [10:35] KnightStalker: bad idea [10:35] nwq6152 :p [10:36] hey, what does this segment mean, in .bashrc in the PS1 variable ... "${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}" [10:36] cpufreqhelp5, are you talking about the cpufreq utility? [10:36] cpu scaling != overclocking [10:36] cpu scaling == underclocking :) [10:36] KnightStalker: for example, disabling icmp make ipv6 unusable [10:36] I can make exception for that [10:36] What about plurbs? [10:36] * joshmuffin is trying very hard not to loose his temper [10:37] yup! [10:37] KnightStalker: and in ipv4 disabling icmp, it breaks pmtu discovery [10:37] And skiggles? [10:37] Who here is a gdm expert? [10:37] could always just \/ignore [10:37] well for one thing nvclock defies the theory that i need to use hardware clock..i've used that to overclock my nvidia 5500 successfully [10:37] pmtu? [10:37] KnightStalker: path mtu discovery [10:37] without editing any bios files [10:37] cpufreqhelp5: no more discussion, show me the documentation that shows me the tools you want to use are for overclocking your cpu [10:38] Nvidia GPU = controlled by board firmware and can be messed with at runtime w/o bringing the system down. CPU, not so much. [10:38] cpufreqhelp5: overclocking a video card is different, show me the documentation that says "these tools are used for overclocking" [10:38] ja660k: PS1 = the bash prompt variable. example --> PS1='---->' [10:38] KnightStalker: disable icmp and you will wonder why certain websites won't work anymore [10:38] ja660k: that changes your shells prompt. Theres fancy codes you can use to get different things. [10:38] nwq6152,k :p I changed my mind ;p [10:39] ja660k: the ${} stuff is command/variable replacement to get different effects. [10:39] Dr_willis, i know, im trying to be all 1337 and change the colors, but what does... ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)} do? i echo $debian_chroot, and its empty? [10:39] ja660k: that debian_chroot would be a variable set if you are chrooted into a system [10:39] OH [10:39] ja660k: so empty otherwise. :) [10:39] dr_willis, spoke to soon :) thanks [10:39] oh i see [10:40] finally [10:40] bhjhh [10:40] !hi | redhat [10:40] redhat: 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! [10:40] can you use your sony digital camera as a webcam ? [10:40] linux assumes that everyone buys and builds their own pc's so they must already have bios features that overclock...so you don't have anyone building such software for linux?? [10:40] can__: please stop asking you've been told gos is not supported here [10:40] can__: depends on the camera. Ive seen some that have that feature [10:40] oh god.. [10:41] cpufreqhelp5: show me the documentation that says these tools are for overclockng - or stop discussing it === karthik is now known as Guest67212 [10:41] cpufreqhelp5, knock yourself out :) http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/ [10:41] ikonia i know that im not asking you and this is not related to gos thank you [10:41] 0.0 [10:41] can__: it's also offtopic as this channel is for ubuntu support only [10:41] http://developer.amd.com/DOCUMENTATION/Pages/default.aspx [10:41] simple yes or no thaks [10:42] i'm just looking for help from the peole who support the os i'm using... [10:42] im asking you [10:42] can__: stop asking [10:42] cpufreqhelp5: and you've been told, more than once it's not for overclocking, so stop asking [10:42] does anybody else know ? [10:42] hi all, using the startup disk creator can i make kubuntu startup disk from "ubuntu" as well ??? [10:43] can__: do not ask again for offtopic support [10:43] so then move on to something that does...your basically telling me i have to buy a motherboard with very limited overclocking options..and build en entirely new pc just to overclock under ubuntu... [10:43] can__, if it's supported by v4l2 then yes, you can use it for a webcam [10:43] oh dear the 10.04 live cd does really not like my system :( [10:43] It's a bit busy here. Can anyone recommend a channel where I can get support on getting X started? (I can't go online as I can't start X) [10:43] Nige: what's up [10:43] Nige, tried the alternate cd? [10:44] thank you thats all i needed to know [10:44] bazhang, not yet, I go download it [10:44] cpufreqhelp5, RTFM [10:44] that was un called for... [10:44] dugger5688: don't do that [10:44] cpufreqhelp5: that is your only warning - drop it [10:44] cameron_, what about starting up in recovery mode [10:45] ikonia, I am gretted by io errors and blank screen when booting off the live cd, which is odd because I can boot into windows 7 fine. This is brand new pc so there shouldnt be an issue [10:45] cameron_, hold shift at boot and choose recovery mode [10:45] What kind of errors? [10:45] Nige: io errors suggest it's not burnt correctly [10:45] any googlecl users here? [10:45] my intrenet service provider has blocked youtube.com. i use google dns . but i can not go just to youtube because it is blocked also by ip number. where i can found ip numbers for youtube.com for my country ? [10:45] sorry if i upset you.. i would just like to be able to do it.. === ian__ is now known as iflema [10:45] hmm, I can reburn it, i might do a checksum as well [10:45] bazhang, I'll give it a go thanks. [10:45] Nige, did you md5 the iso and burn very slowly, followed by a disk integrity check? [10:45] cpufreqhelp5: and you've been told "they are not the tools" [10:46] reiserx, where do you live china? [10:46] hi all, using the startup disk creator can i make kubuntu startup disk from "ubuntu" as well ??? [10:46] any googlecl users here? [10:46] codebrainz: turkey. [10:46] please answer [10:46] :o [10:46] OMG [10:46] Spyzer: Yeah ? [10:46] Spyzer: yes. [10:46] reiserx, they actually block the whole youtube.com domain!? [10:46] thnx [10:46] Spyzer, sure, or unetbootin, which is my preference [10:46] code what?! [10:46] Spyzer: dont follow questions with 'please answeer.. and help me,.. and so forth...' [10:46] I hardly ever do the integrity check, firstime I have had a cd fail :( I have been using it from hardy [10:47] reiserx,use IPv6 I say XD,it bypasses the blocks in here(Iran) [10:47] Nige: every now and then one slips in [10:47] I've had a few burn badly, sometimes it's a failing drive on the machine I'm booting. It happens :-) [10:47] Spyzer: Startup Disk creator should work with all the official ubujntu variants. but the server edition I think wont work. or alt-installer. [10:47] :well when i asked before nobody replied so i had to add up please :) [10:47] codebrainz: i dont know whta you tell me . but i know that we can not go by changing our dns google or opendns because there is a way to clok a site "by blocking ip " way. [10:47] yep, anyways I will go away and check those things and then come back, thanks for the advise :) [10:47] okay [10:47] Spyzer: i was allready typing the answer when you said please.. :) [10:47] Spyzer, many or most live iso will work with unetbootin [10:47] Spyzer: you could of jsut tried it also.. :) [10:48] :) [10:48] Spyzer: for NON-ubuntu variants and other disrtos. unetbootin would be the tool to sue. [10:48] ok [10:48] reiserx, bummer. other than what KnightStalker said, you could try something like TOR i guess? [10:48] sure [10:48] ;p [10:48] soo, some channel suggestions for (un-mentionable) [10:48] codebrainz: i just need the ip of youtube. [10:48] hi I nedd to learn where wine keeps folders ! [10:48] codebrainz: there are many ip s for youtbe. i need them. [10:49] You've been told. #hardware, also use a search provider for 'overclock BIOS' [10:49] teknohan: .wine/XXXXXX [10:49] some people give me some ips fotr youtube but they are going to google.com :( i dont know why . [10:49] teknohan: it can also use links to your users other directories. [10:49] they said that it is working now.. [10:49] teknohan: ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/... [10:49] but not for me. [10:49] reiserx, 74.125.127.93 [10:50] geirha: thanks alot [10:50] yep,that goes to google [10:50] reiserx: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/traceipaddresses/f/youtube-ip-addr.htm do these work? [10:50] codebrainz: that is not working. can you connect to youtube with 74.125.43.103 ? [10:50] yeah, same here, i got it from ping youtube.com [10:50] reiserx, no it goes to google [10:50] DNS fail.... [10:51] any google cl users here? [10:51] whats apcalc ? [10:51] oCean_: no they are not working for me. [10:52] i think i have to use turkish forums to do it. you can not help me from other countrys ... [10:52] thank you! [10:52] how to setup a proxy server? [10:52] reiserx: there is also turkish irc: #ubuntu-tr [10:52] it blows my mind that governments sensor out a whole huge domain like youtube.com [10:52] oCean_: they have blocked me . i have to go to pardus cahannel. [10:52] Try VPN maybe. [10:53] codebrainz: don't start that discussion [10:53] one more question, will the start up disk creator make a bootable usb without differentiating between 64 bit or 32 bit iso images ???? [10:54] !crosspost | KnightStalker [10:54] KnightStalker: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [10:54] Spyzer: not sure what you're asking. If you use a 32 it'll be a 32 live USB, 64 will be 64. [10:54] oCean_ I just remembered that server related questions goes there [10:54] someone else told me that some while ago === ian__ is now known as iflema [10:54] no i mean if i make a usb pendrive from a 64 bit iso image on a 32 bit system (having the host ubuntu), will that be fine??? [10:54] yes [10:55] Help Help Help! I can't start my x server! the driver isn't mounting on boot for some reason and when I load it manually I get a purple screen and can't do anything. [10:56] cameron_, what about recovery mode [10:56] has anybody worked googlecl with a non gmail account? === Guest64050 is now known as DaZ [10:57] theanalyst: well i spect googlecl to *only* work on/with google services [10:57] bazhang, I couldn;t get into recovery mode. No matter what I hold down at boot it takes me straiht to the login screen (command line). [10:57] cameron_, what version of ubuntu [10:57] 9.10 [10:58] bazhang, 9.10 [10:58] Hi all. It seems I have the following apt authentication issue. I'm really not sure how to fix it: http://pastebin.com/EecBqL49 [10:58] erUSUL, so can't get it working using a yahoo/open id account? I mean blogger,picassa supports them rite? [10:58] Any help please? [10:59] theanalyst: blogger and picassa are google products. yahoo mail is not [10:59] cameron_, what happens when you run /etc/init.d/gdm start? what about 'startx'? [11:00] !gpgerr [11:00] Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys && gpg --export --armor | sudo apt-key add - » [11:00] codebrainz, the screen flikers a little and that's it. [11:00] erUSUL, i don't mean yahoomail ,i meant i can use picassa,blogger using my yahoo account, can't however get googlecl working with that [11:00] cameron_, and it drops back to text-mode? [11:00] Hi! [11:00] codebrainz, yes [11:01] cameron_, and it used to work fine? what changed? updates? [11:02] I've got an old laptop that doesn't support booting from USB. Is there anything I could do to boot with one version of Linux and have the distro switch over to USB so I can use the CD drive? [11:02] I know I ought to be installing Linux to the hard drive, but the drive is clunky... read errors and almost on it's last leg [11:02] snowyrooftops: you can use a bootcd to boot a usb [11:03] ikonia: Is there anyway to get the CD out after having Linux running? [11:03] codebrainz, Oh yes sorry I should have started with that. The bleeding edge compat-wireless package. [11:03] snowyrooftops: depends if you're just booting from it (yes) or running the OS from it (no) [11:03] ikonia: Perhaps something like a chroot to switch over [11:03] snowyrooftops, probably the simplest answer can' you change the hard disk and does it even support usb booting [11:03] ikonia: I haven't been able to figure out how to boot from a CD but run the OS from USB [11:03] snowyrooftops: you'd need to make a custom boot disk, that saw the usb device as a "disk" [11:04] Pirate_Hunter: It's a pretty old notebook... doesn't support SATA so I can't get parts for it [11:04] !plop | snowyrooftops [11:04] Pirate_Hunter: I'm just using it as an experiment [11:04] wildbat|GER-GOAL: What's a plop? [11:04] ikonia: Do you mean install grub on a CD? [11:04] errr ~ just google plop ~ it's bootloader can boot USB [11:05] cameron_, hmm, not sure what to do. i guess you can check the xorg log file and see if anything useful is in there [11:05] snowyrooftops: actually lilo works better on a cd [11:05] snowyrooftops, no worries, follow ikonia's suggestion I would be interested in finding out how to do that make the system see the usb as a hard drive [11:05] Pirate_Hunter: correct [11:05] Pirate_Hunter: some of the boot cd software can see a usb disk as a hard disk [11:05] I'll look up Plop [11:06] i think you could also put the kernel and initrd on a cd and have it mount the rootfs from the USB drive once the kernel starts [11:07] codebrainz: that's pretty much it [11:07] codebrainz, It says there is no driver. which is confirmed by lspci, when I manually load nvidiafb everything goes cactus. [11:07] ikonia, excellent you're a genius been looking for something like this for a few years, wish I had my old machine, oh well better late than never and wildbat|GER-GOAL thanks for that info just browsed their website [11:07] Is there are way I could boot a text-only distro of Linux from CD and then chroot over to the USB drive after mounting it? [11:08] cameron_, isn't nvidiafb just for the framebuffer? i think it's called nv or nvidia [11:08] Does anybody have problems with Wireless Network? In Mint 9 and Ubuntu 10.04, my password doesn't work... =/ [11:08] Pirate_Hunter: to be honest I've never got it %100 to work as I've never had to and only really "played with it", [11:08] Pirate_Hunter: it's certainly do-able though [11:09] codebrainz, what's the modprobe command that lists all available drivers? [11:09] snowyrooftops, I think plop might do the trick check it out and tell me how it goes http://www.plop.at/en/home.html [11:10] BTW, Plop uses LILO too [11:10] ikonia, I wasn't even aware it was possible until today (this is one of the reasons I can never forget this place) [11:10] snowyrooftops, probably easiest to put a bootloader (lilo,syslinux,etc) on the CD with vmlinuz(kernel) and initd.img and configure the root option in the bootloader to point to your usb stick [11:10] I wonder why the Linux community decided to drop floppy-boot support [11:10] which irc channel is most suitable for asking questions about unetbootin ?? [11:10] cameron_: modprobe -l ? [11:10] snowyrooftops, when did they do that? [11:10] Pirate_Hunter: it's someting I should do from start to end, I've just never bothered [11:10] snowyrooftops: becouse floppy disks died ? [11:10] erUSUL, thanks [11:10] codebrainz: Thanks, will try that... I came across some old distros that boot from floppy [11:10] snowyrooftops, you can always upgrade to grub once the os is installed and hmmm lilo is not bad I've used it before [11:11] codebrainz: I've read notes on kernel 2.6.x not supporting floppy-boot [11:11] snowyrooftops, i think it can do it, but it's so bloated now, that it'd take a lot of disks [11:12] snowyrooftops, if you just want to slap a minimal os than go for puppy/dns tyring ubuntu might be overload on that comp [11:12] erUSUL: Fair enough, but I meant that for old systems [11:12] snowyrooftops: the kernel wont boot from floppy how it used. int now ( well since 2.6.x) needs a bootloader in floppies too [11:12] Pleasse insert disk # 194 to boot the system [11:12] snowyrooftops: installing grub in a floppy is easy enough [11:12] Dr_Willis: LOL! I remember installing Windows from floppies :-) [11:12] snowyrooftops: tiny core linux = 10mb. :) [11:13] snowyrooftops: but anyway; try to find a kernel this days that fits in a floppy [11:13] how to extract .7z files at Ubuntu 10.04 ? [11:13] snowyrooftops: 600 KiB kernels are long go [11:13] Dr_Willis: Tiny core is pretty good for a test environment. [11:13] !info p7z-full [11:13] Package p7z-full does not exist in lucid [11:13] !info pzip-full [11:13] Package pzip-full does not exist in lucid [11:13] LOL erUSUL === rsfaze is now known as kangklick [11:13] ikonia, actually that gives me a couple of ideas, I could have a custom install of a linux os on a 16GB pen drive and use plop to load it up on machines that don't support usb booting as it is independent from the BIOS as it states on their site [11:13] snowyrooftops, you can also whip up a pretty darn small linux with buildroot (my last one was around 12MB) [11:14] purvesh: is p7zip-full [11:14] erUSUL, ok. [11:14] quit [11:14] Pirate_Hunter: that's it, you've got the idea [11:14] wildbat|GER-GOAL: yep i just returned -ENOTENOUGHCOFFEE :) [11:15] * erUSUL points out http://gujin.sourceforge.net/ <<< boot loader [11:16] erUSUL, you pour extra cup ~ :> waiting for Germany to own Argentina [11:16] ikonia, thanks for the info now i am going dormant again [11:17] wildbat|GER-GOAL: i'm waiting for an Argentina - Spain semi-final ;P [11:17] * wildbat|GER-GOAL starts to throws shoes at erUSUL xD [11:18] erUSUL, u know command to install unrar ? [11:18] !rar | purvesh [11:18] purvesh: 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 [11:20] purvesh: so « sudo aptitude install unrar » or unrar-free [11:21] erUSUL, Thanx buddy. :) [11:22] hi, I need help with Brasero. I put in a data disk a list of songs, and it sort them automatically by filename. how can I force him to maintain the original order? [11:24] Can someone do me a huge favor and post the direct link to the nvidia drivers for linux so I can wget the package.

[12:54] files* [12:54] hello: restore the windows bootloder. ##windows can help with that [12:54] also, one more query, I find it weird, that I have compiz on to the fullest level, but in this case, I just dont wnt the transparency in gnome-terminal. [12:54] after my last update to 'Ubuntu, mit Linux 2.6.32-23-generic' I have sometimes boot hangings [12:55] Pr0jectRec0n: disable it in gnome-terminal configuration [12:55] Can I just disable that somehow, still retaining the 'fullest' compiz setting? [12:55] i havent thought about the windows loader that will be a good interim one. i will probably replace with debian or a small slackware based distro [12:55] rsync by default checksums original and copied files to ensure integrity of copied data? [12:55] Pr0jectRec0n: Profiles>Profile Preferences>background tab [12:56] erUSUL, worst part is, that's still checked as 'solid color' and not 'transparent' [12:56] erUSUL, :( [12:56] i have nothing against ubuntu i just want something small to play with. i use windows 99% of the time coz it works for me [12:56] XLV: by default it does not. it relays on timestamps and size changes to figure out what to copy [12:56] if u think that windows suit you then go with them [12:57] anyone help me with display problems? [12:57] erUSUL, you were right, I can manually modify it [12:57] Pr0jectRec0n: then maybe you added transparency to terminal windows in compiz settings disable only that [12:57] !ccsm | Pr0jectRec0n [12:57] Pr0jectRec0n: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

How do I setup a program to start without having to put in a password every time? [13:01] erUSUL, i dont mean the checksum of data to see whats different to be copied, i mean checksum to ensure whats copied is same between sender/receipient [13:01] AceKing: which program [13:01] IPblock [13:01] AceKing: how are you launching t [13:01] it [13:01] erUSUL, i know about the -c option, what i ask is different [13:02] XLV: i do not think rsync can be used for that [13:02] XLV: anyway; better help probably in #rsync [13:02] ikonia, I go into applications/ Internet and click on the launcher [13:03] AceKing: the chances are it's being launched with root privileges using "sudo" from the menu, you need to adjust your sudo rules to allow it to be launched without a password [13:03] ikonia, how do I do that? === clay is now known as claybustr [13:03] AceKing: ok, I'm just going to request you take a setp backwards first [13:04] ikonia, ok [13:04] AceKing: is it a big deal that it asks you for a password [13:04] i am using karmic.should i upgrde to lucid [13:04] AceKing: the reason I'm asking as messing with sudo rules if your not confident with them is dangerous [13:04] ikonia, not really, I guess it is more annoying than anything [13:04] AceKing: so before we start, just think about the issues this may cause if you're not %100 certain about modifying the rules [13:05] AceKing: that said it's straight forward to do [13:05] ikonia, ok [13:05] AceKing: do you want to change it ?

I have a problem while executing a python script it works fine .. but when I put it in a crontab it shows a module(python mysql connector) is not able to load [13:07] sudipta: flip a coin.. or weigh your needs and decide. [13:07] AceKing: I think ipblock is already running, that menu is to change options/update lists [13:07] AceKing: do "sudo visudo" [13:07] ikonia, ok [13:08] I installed ubuntu 10 but there is a lot of updates for it so I wants to download a lot of files from internet. it is too bad [13:08] AceKing: scoll down to where it says "admin" [13:08] hi [13:08] AceKing: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [13:08] AceKing: see that ? [13:08] ikonia, got it [13:08] Is there a console IRC client written in Python? [13:09] AceKing: change it to %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [13:09] AceKing: paste me the line back so I can see what it looks like [13:09] hi [13:09] ikonia, just out of curiosity, does that make me vulnerable at all? [13:10] AceKing: not vunerable, but it won't prompt you for a password for super user privileges again [13:10] i have read in net that lucid is not different in terms of features and my karmic works fine.i have nvidia card.does it work fine in lucid lynx? [13:10] Hi .. is there a diffence between executing a python command normally vs as a cron tab ?? [13:10] Guest29787: only the local users shell environment [13:11] ikonia: I am sorry I did not get you .. [13:12] Guest29787: there is no difference other than the users shell evnironment, eg: Guest29787 your user has a shell enviornment, and the controb user has a shell enviornment [13:12] ikonia, I did that and pressed enter but it didn't do anything [13:12] AceKing: pressed enter ??? [13:12] Dr_Willis: yesterday soomeone told me to stick with 9.10 [13:12] AceKing: your modifuing a file [13:12] AceKing: that's not a command, your modifying a file [13:13] ikonia, ok, now I see, I thought I had to press enter to save [13:13] AceKing: no no, you save using your editor (I don't know what you're using) [13:13] ikonia: Sorry .. still didnt understand fully .. did you mean that shell environment when I type the command is diffent from shell environment when executed as cron ?? [13:13] Guest29787: correct [13:13] Guest29787: that is the only difference [13:14] ikonia: Any help in how do I find the difference ..please ? [13:14] Guest29787: are you having a problem ? [13:15] ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458742/ [13:15] AceKing: looks good [13:16] ikonia: ops sorry I didnt mention the problem... When i type a python command it works fine.. but when as a cron job a python module(python mysql connecting module) doesnt get loaded .. [13:16] ikonia, now I can just exit out of the terminal without doing anything else? [13:16] AceKing: look at the bottom ctrl+X [13:17] ikonia, that worked. Thank you!! [13:17] Guest29787: what user's crontab are you using [13:17] AceKing: no problem [13:18] AceKing: just be careful as it won't prompt you for a password for any root commands [13:18] both as the same user .. [13:18] Guest29787: then there should be no difference [13:18] ikonia, ok [13:18] ikonia: okay .. I ll see if I did any mistake .. [13:18] ikonia: Thanks for your help [13:19] Guest29787: if your using cron, make sure all your paths are absoloute [13:19] Guest29787: that's a common issue, eg: instead of python, /usr/bin/python etc [13:20] ikonia: oh .. okay .. [13:21] I am trying to troubleshoot a non-working Nautilus in 10.04. I get a message about no reply from DBus (can pastebin this upon request) and need to know the next step to see what exactly might be going sour [13:22] What do you all guys prefer ? vim or vim-gnome or vim-gtk [13:22] ?

As a result, my XAMPP won't start correctly. Is there a way I can find out which app did this, and furthermore, how can I remove the services upon boot ? [13:23] Pr0jectRec0n, just vi [13:23] since it's pretty much on all *nix boxes [13:23] ikonia: I tried to put env in cronjob and env normally .. it showed some difference in some paths .. May be that caused the problem .. Thanks for your advice .. [13:23] ikonia, I know, but I'd like to know the difference between all these, you see i need to install one [13:23] I might like to see some screenshots [13:23] Pr0jectRec0n: then install both and see what you like, remove what you don't like [13:24] ikonia, fair enough [13:24] i have a question. i have Excel macro which i want to migrate to openoffice. [13:24] The macro fetches data from Sql Server.But Excel VBA's "copyfromrecordset" command is not working in OpenOffice. [13:24] So,i am using loop to get data from recordset,but its very time consuming. [13:24] Can anyone suggest me fastest way to fetch data from Recordset in openoffice? [13:24] ikonia, vim-gnome and vim-gtk are both one and the same in look, apart from the fact that they use their respective libraries? [13:24] ankit999999: please ask in #openoffice.org [13:25] thnx [13:25] Pr0jectRec0n: so that answers your question then [13:25] where is the default directory for files wit gadmin-proftpd?

[13:47] otaku, did you just logout and in again after powering down, or reboot ? [13:47] LeeQ: no [13:47] i only rebooted, BluesKaj . I can reboot again if that helps.

[14:09] reedsw yes whit root password [14:09] engemec, what is that [14:09] MadRobot: Run that all as one command in your terminal and it should add the pubkey [14:09] why did I switch my laptop from ubuntu to mint because i liked the green color and i like having the menu button on the bottom and close box button on top right...and han shot first and coke does taste better with sugar not corn syrup [14:09] MaMoUs, I didn't give you not .deb package or link you got it confused, if you want the source of thunderbird you must uzip and compile which is a long procedure at first but worth the experience [14:09] voss749, please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:10] Internacional Forum of Free Software [14:10] engemec, did you have an ubuntu support question?

[14:11] Being in China, I need proxy support to work properly, disappointed that the chat accounts, etc. that they made such a big deal about seem to be half-baked [14:11] bazhang my point is when someone asks a question they want an answer not another question [14:11] voss749, interesting but offtopic. please take it to the appropriate channel, thanks [14:12] soreau, It seems the problem did get solved still. : / [14:12] MaMoUs, 3.1 is a release candidate still like I said it should be pretty straight forward compiling it unless you got a .deb which you can just double click [14:12] bazhang, all right! I would like to recieve somebody at my house. I'll represent ubuntu-br-ce with a talk, but no problem. Bye! See you never again! [14:12] MadRobot: Did the command return without errors? [14:12] MaMoUs: FWIW, that deb link worksforme here [14:13] soreau, yes. [14:13] Pirate_Hunter: i found a deb [14:13] soreau: in the download page it just keep refreshing cant donwload [14:13] morning.... [14:13] soreau, it was ended with an "OK". [14:13] Now, I have a technical question. How can I change at kernel my wireless perfomance? [14:14] MadRobot: hmm, not sure then, sorry [14:14] any one can help me in sourceforge it just keep refreshing the page cant download any thing [14:14] soreau, it's ok, thanks. :) [14:14] I connect with 50% or more of signal, but windows system connect with 10% of signal. [14:15] MaMoUs: You have to remember this is #ubuntu not #sourceforge [14:15] hi .. I have setup rsync and its listening on port 873 .. While trying to rsync its asking for password .. rsync@192.168.6.34's password: (192.168.6.34 is where rsync daemon is running)... I gave my ssh password its not working ... what password should I give ?? [14:15] Guest29787: the ssh passwort from the server not your local machine [14:16] Guest29787: maybe /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/daemon.log is giving usefull info [14:18] anyone know anything about mirroring a server? what directories should I rsync? [14:19] LeeQ: what do you mean by "mirroring" [14:19] iceroot: I am giving the password of the server .. I do ssh 192.168.6.34 .. the password works fine .. But rsync doesnt .. Can you please have a look at this and advice if I am doing anything wrong .. http://pastebin.com/syKKyFh5 [14:20] Guest29787: rsync is not normally an interfactive user [14:20] Guest29787: you've got the password for root - not rsync [14:20] ikonia: I have a very simple web server box, I want to have another identical box pull from it every night just in case the first one dies for whatever reason I can just plug the backup in and be running again [14:20] LeeQ: ok - so first of all you won't be able to do an exact clone, as to be on the network at the same time they will need different IP addresses [14:20] Pirate_Hunter, unfortunately the solution soreau gave didn't work. [14:21] LeeQ: all you really need to do is install the same packages on the new server and sync the web content [14:21] ikonia: you mean there is a user named rsync ? [14:21] Guest29787: you are syncing as a user called rsync [14:21] Guest29787: there is no user named rsync normally [14:21] Guest29787: rsync -avz -e ssh rsync@192.168.6.34 [14:21] ikonia: iceroot: Should I create another user ? [14:21] Guest29787: no [14:21] Guest29787: is this an ubuntu box? [14:21] Guest29787: look your using rsync [14:21] ikonia: how about config files? like apache configs and postfix and stuff? are they safe to sync? [14:22] MadRobot, huh....? sorry no clue what is the solution so could you explain again what your problem is and maybe this should've been redirected at soreau [14:22] ikonia: No its centos .. [14:22] Guest29787: then why are you asking in #ubuntu - use #centos [14:22] !audio [14:22] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [14:22] Guest29787: ssh usernameontheserver@192.168.6.34 [14:22] LeeQ: the configs won't be the same due to different IP's [14:22] MadRobot, solution that was given* [14:22] iceroot: okay .. thanks .. [14:22] LeeQ: take the time to install the same packages, then copy (not sync) the configs over, changing the host names and IP's [14:23] Guest29787: you are trying to conncect with the user rsync which doesn not exist [14:23] will upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 erase the ndiswrapper and driver work I put into getting this dell wireless capable? [14:23] Pirate_Hunter, he gave me this command: "KEY=40976EAF437D05B5; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $KEY && gpg --export --armor $KEY | sudo apt-key add -" [14:23] ikonia: ok, thanks again... you are my hero today :-D [14:23] LeeQ: also, if you need to "sync" your mysql databases, you should be very careful just copying the files over. [14:23] LeeQ: no problem [14:23] reedsw: maybe 10.04 is supporting your card without ndsiwrapper [14:23] LeeQ: keep in mind for system files/configs never rsync [14:23] iceroot: I understood one that that I am a fool .. Sorry to bother you .. I copied the command pasted as it was .. sorry .. [14:23] Pirate_Hunter, it worked flawlessly but didn't solve my Apt issue. [14:23] MadRobot: you have to do that command for all the keys missing [14:24] LeeQ: for mysql as oCean_ use replication rather than sync [14:24] reedsw: probably you will have to redo the ndiswerapper support. or maybe the wifi will work out of the box with the new kernel. [14:24] Guest29787: np but it is always a good idea to understand a command instead of copy and paste [14:24] reedsw: what wifi chip is this? [14:24] ikonia: where should I look for more info on doing that? or is it easy for you to just tell me? [14:24] MadRobot, find the source that is giving you that error and download the correct key from their site [14:24] iceroot, I really doubt that. Pulling this monster for this card was a chore [14:24] MaRk-I, one by one? [14:24] LeeQ: what do you want to know ? [14:24] MadRobot: yes [14:24] LeeQ: we are here to help [14:25] reedsw: maybe start the system with a 10.04live-cd to see what is working and what not [14:25] ikonia: exactly what steps I should take to replicate the mysql db [14:25] iceroot: Yes you are correct .. Just another info needed if you can provide would help me .. Is it must that there should be a rsync daemon running ? if its not must any advantage of having a daemon.. [14:25] LeeQ: ahh ok, so that's a big topic, 1.) be aware that mysql is the correct channel to talk 2.) it's a big topic so check the high level info on www.mysql.com [14:25] Guest29787: stop asking please [14:25] Guest29787: this is ubuntu support, use #centos for centos support [14:26] its a Broadcom, if memory serves [14:26] ikonia: excellent, I can't thank you enough :-) [14:26] LeeQ: if you have specific questions, or something not working we can help, but it's a big topic to just start "talking about" [14:26] and it was pain to get ndiswrapper to pull it [14:26] Guest29787: running a rsync-daemon is good so you can compress the data [14:26] iceroot, thats a good idea [14:26] reedsw: usually it is enough to do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » while connected via wired to make broadcoms work [14:26] ikonia: Sorry .. the question was regarding rsync .. Still I shouldnt ? .. [14:26] ikonia, don't they need something like a clustered server or apache heartbeat for that instead of rsync? Just wondering... [14:26] Guest29787: no - you shouldn't [14:27] hello, can someone help me with a problem i am having with a program called HellaNZB? [14:27] erUSUL, writing that down for future reference. [14:27] iceroot: thanks for your help .. [14:27] LeeQ: Not saying this one is solid, but might be useful: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-database-replication-in-mysql-on-ubuntu-9.10 [14:27] !broadcom | reedsw [14:27] reedsw: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [14:27] Pirate_Hunter: not for mysql, that's just in-application replication, it's very good, for apache they could use something like lvs, but that's going a bit overboard [14:27] oCean_: :-D [14:27] Pirate_Hunter: in my head, easier to just have another server on a different IP and either swap dns or the ip on other server failure [14:27] reedsw: reboot after the install is complete [14:27] ubottu, Yeah, wasnt working on this dell [14:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:28] erUSUL, Alright, will upgrade to 10.04 and see about these instructions. [14:28] ikonia, ok, everyone has their method and yeah your way seems simple and easier [14:28] ikonia: com'n .. thats a normal linux related question... thats not fair .. anywez I m new to linux/ IRC .. I ll leave this channel [14:28] reedsw: good luck... as said by iceroot you can see if it will work with a livecd [14:28] Pirate_Hunter: nothing wrong with that you said [14:28] Guest29787: what part am I not making clear, there is a channel called #centos that WILL answer your questions as you are using centos [14:28] Guest29787: this channel is for ubuntu support only - you're not using ubuntu [14:29] reedsw: in a livecd with wired connection... « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter && sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 » [14:29] what command would I use to manually unmute my sound and then turn up the volume from a command line? [14:29] there is also a rsync channel [14:29] alsamixer maybe ? [14:29] erUSUL: it's covered in #samba isn't it (he's gone though) [14:30] Ego_Proctor: man amixer [14:30] print "hello world!" [14:30] !! [14:31] i've do an upgrade and now my wifi doesn't work [14:31] wtf can I do?

Download GShutdown and it'll help [14:51] It's just that the constant activity must be wearing my HDD. [14:52] BluesKaj: I do think so, but I still do not want to use a CLI app on regular basis.

It's not that complicated, it just contains a whole lot of accounting fearures I won't use. [15:40] vaul, I was being critical , I mean it. [15:41] wasn't [15:41] Pirate_Hunter, this is why I asked if somoene could help me with this specific program before I went into a long description about what the problem is. [15:41] abuayyoub, did you backup before editing? If not can you change it to the way it was and check if it works that way? You can check the logs if it has any [15:41] abuayyoub, it is better to explain the problem than ask if they know about hellanzb now you have more chances of getting help [15:42] BluesKaj: When you want an application to be present in official repositories, to update on regular basis, have a good GTK interface, it isn't that much choice. Critical? It's was some unnoticable criricism. [15:42] i been asking for days, apparently im the only one left on on IRC that uses Usenet [15:42] pirate hunter vey well now i have installed gnome alsa mixer, and my problem this solved, thank you [15:43] abuayyoub: You won't believe me, but even IRC itself is considered obsolete sometimes. [15:44] abuayyoub, I knew I remembered you yup you're probably not getting much help because that package has been abadoned [15:44] hi! everytime i log in there's a popup about avahi. it claims that my network has a .local domain and avahi will be disabled. how do i remove the .local domain from my network? [15:44] which package he is talking about? [15:44] MaRK-I,It suck when i go to the cabin i have to use dial-up so that when i try scanModem out and try to find a driver for it:) [15:45] abuayyoub, have you tried sabnzbd as the site suggests and like I said I really don't know much about it best bet is the logs and trying to redo your old setup [15:46] perlsyntax: if you have access, the US Robotics usb fax modem works great. Hardware controled.. [15:47] abuayyoub, you can also try pan which is a designed news reader which works with usenet not sure weather it is still being worked on [15:48] After suspending the pc resumes with blank screen.

[16:08] hi lalitha [16:09] kickingintender, Hi [16:09] soreau:do you know what i did wrong? [16:09] Lalitha: I would just install ubuntu to the hard disk, which should fix grub to boot either OS, then go into windoze and just remove the wubi install [16:10] SailorReality: If you wanted to just use the remainder of the disk, there is an option for that which will keep your other os partition and configure the bootloader for it. No need to manually partition unless you have an advanced setup [16:10] SailorReality: you selected the whole drive instead of the empty/free partition [16:10] hi guys [16:11] Sorea: i saw that option it said 'install Ubuntu maually alongside windows' but i thought i could do that manually instead of selecting it [16:11] any minicom expert here?

[18:01] Dr_Willis, if you move the window to one corner, and maximize, it will be resized to fit in that corner, within a given region [18:02] And you can set these regions up yourself [18:02] rockelme: pm me if you need a low level walkthrough of steps to take [18:03] oal: Aside from using a tiling wm, compiz grid is about the closest you will come to this effect [18:03] oal: kde has that to some degree. :) 1/2 size if the screen ive seen [18:03] but not seen a 1/4 screen [18:04] Dr_Willis, yes, but self controlled regions would be the ideal thing :) [18:04] grid does 1/4 screen in three different sizes, 5 in the 0.9 version [18:04] * Dr_Willis tends to just fullscreen everything [18:04] soreau, hmm, maybe I have to try compiz again [18:04] fullscren video I always did that on highschool [18:04] Dr_Willis, I have too many windows and maximizing everything confuses me [18:05] hello evr1.

TIA [18:05] oal: sounds like you need to get organized. :) [18:05] but most americans just see it in window I think they feel it would be irrespecful to fulllscren it as they probably think is egoistic [18:05] * atmos4 just finished watching germany vs. argentinia - what a game :-) [18:05] Dr_Willis, haha yea [18:05] argaytina swallowed it [18:05] Patero-ng, please stay on topic [18:05] Patero-ng, I am not american ;) [18:06] well doh [18:06] Motilon: Sounds like no wm is starting.

[18:41] when i double click the browser my computer goes into hibernation and i cant recover [18:41] there's just white bars on the screen [18:41] dominicdinada & alexnov: i tried changing the permission but to no avail.. i used gui to change the permissions.. i am using netbeans as my ide.. when i tried to load my project.. it says that my project folder is not writable [18:41] abhi_nav, okies :) [18:41] Krishnandu, :) === unixlike is now known as lll2 === lll2 is now known as unixlike [18:42] khyqo: Well you forgot to mention that, But is this a network location ? or on the pc your working on ? [18:42] dominicdinada: on my pc only [18:42] anyone know what could be wrong? [18:43] abhi_nav, dunno whats the problem...!! They are not providing .deb package. Informing to install using synaptic or terminal [18:43] SailorReality, seems like you have two problems, one is that your computer goes into hibernation mode automatically and the other is that it can't come back from hibernation [18:44] GUYS [18:44] anybody here knows how to make yogurt [18:44] lousygaruga: yea basically...im not sure if it's completely automatic though [18:44] hi [18:44] can anyone suggest some face recognition/face tracking which works with webcams for ubuntu? [18:44] Patero-ng: we dont need off-topic here [18:44] seems it only goes into it when i double click [18:44] SailorReality: curious, does it say its going into hibernation? [18:44] SailorReality: second, is your swap file as big as your ram? [18:44] no it almost looks like a screensaver [18:45] 2 gigs [18:45] (iirc, hiber uses swap, and if its smaller than ram, it fails, in my experience on this box) === unixlike is now known as djgb [18:45] its this screensaver with white bars floating up and down [18:45] Virigoth: im using linux mint doing that method is different to ubuntu [18:45] Krishnandu, yah you follow that procedure [18:45] SailorReality: not sure why its entering hibernation though. perhaps just a really low value and its ignoring mouse events? *shrug* === djgb is now known as abha [18:45] abhi_nav, I've already installed VLC [18:46] Krishnandu, already installed? then whats the issue now? [18:46] and I already tried that......the update is not reflected yet [18:46] how do you add lines to the sources.list appropriately?

Have you dont that and failed? no? then? how can you come back as it is? first give a try naa? if faild then we wll see naa? [18:47] JOIN [18:47] Virigoth: im using linux mint doing that method is different to ubuntu [18:47] abhi_nav, ya I'm saying the same thing.....I did it [18:48] Why are .sh files opening up with gedit grrrr [18:48] abhi_nav, and it says vlc is already installed [18:48] oh fail :( [18:48] abhi_nav, not updating it [18:48] Krishnandu, you did installed vlc as per their web site says? ok so you may want to first uninstall vlc manual and then again follow their site [18:48] dominicdinada, right click them and give them execute.

[18:57] !ask | skhater [18:57] skhater: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:58] soreau: Issued the "sudo shutdown -F -r now", system started as usual and I'm geting same beaviour . Should I just reinstall so we can stay friends? [18:58] ok [18:58] ross_: what version of ubuntu are you using? [18:58] Motilon: Yes. Do the cd check first though, by pressing esc right after the cd boots [18:58] Anyone know how to get sound working in lucid on a macbook pro (5,5). I have already gone through the community documentation, still no luck! [18:58] hi [18:58] 1004 [18:59] ross_: it is there than [18:59] it's not [18:59] there is no software sources under preferences [18:59] ross_: you may need to edit the menu to add it but it is there if you are using gnome [18:59] It's under admin. [18:59] soreau: will try [18:59] yeah addmin [18:59] system->administration-> Software sources.

[18:59] nmvictor, no cursing please [19:00] gnomefreak: ok now what [19:00] i dint curse anyone here, atleast [19:00] stefanos, sounds like you removed the window list from your panel [19:00] nmvictor: you did - stop it [19:00] when we do uname -r ? [19:00] ross_: open it and add it under one of the tabs. I dont have access to my gnome install atm [19:00] stefanos, right click on the panel, select `add to panel` and search for ' window list' [19:01] in which case to check what ? uname -r [19:01] stefanos, or mayeb you resized the window list to a small width so you can't see it [19:01] I'm looking for a vuze or azureus support channel. [19:01] lousygarua: problem solved [19:01] thank u! [19:01] gnomefreak what menu entry i don't see it [19:02] I'm trying to chainload GRUB legacy from GRUB 2 with Ubuntu 10.04. The chainload seems to be kicking off legacy fine, but it's not finding its configuration file. The distro channel for legacy said I was chainloading wrong. How should it be done? [19:02] let me check again [19:02] ikonia: bazhang okidoki, sorry! was just venting it out on my previous ISP, i unlocked my modem so I can use alternative sim cards and now i wonder why I lived without it, sorry any way [19:02] ross_: open software sources lease [19:02] please [19:02] i did [19:02] nmvictor: no problem [19:02] nmvictor, thanks [19:02] ross_: i think it is the 2nd tab that should say repositoies or something likel that [19:02] anyone here using emacs?

[19:04] yes both pcs got a network card. i need to safe my data from the other hdd [19:04] ross_: are you sure you want to use that archive. im guess if it breaks your system you are going to have a hard time fixing it [19:04] hello [19:05] in which case we do uname -r ?

[19:05] azeryu: 10.04 is not the kernel version it is the Ubuntu version [19:05] ' [19:05] when i do uname -r i got 2.6.27-gandi-2777 [19:05] is that normal ? [19:06] azeryu: should look like this, ypour version will not be the same gnomefreak@development:~$ uname -r [19:06] azeryu, for 10.04 ? no [19:06] 2.6.35-6-generic [19:06] hinsky: This has a bunch of different ways to install [19:07] how to change to that version ? [19:07] rabbit1: you could try the user agent switcher, it's a firefox plugin that can spoof it as IE [19:07] don quote me but that is a hardy kernel [19:07] 2.6.32.23.24 is the most up to date for 10.04 azeryu [19:07] hi rabbit1 [19:07] oops forgot link ^_^ [19:07] hinsky: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [19:07] but me got this one 2.6.27-gandi-2777 [19:07] azeryu: that is not a kernel we provide [19:07] so i need to change my kernel version [19:08] Abhinav: hi [19:08] thanks [19:08] to put the correct kernel version [19:08] how to do ? [19:08] -gandi-2777 sounds like a unofficial build of a kernel [19:08] azeryu, did you install that yourself? [19:08] dugger5688: or else, i need to WMP on 8.04 hardy [19:08] this one for example 2.6.32.23.24 [19:08] hi [19:08] how to do ?

[19:11] hmm [19:11] snakez85: that doesnt tell us what you need help with [19:12] someone help me last time [19:12] of course we change the kernel === azlon_ is now known as azlon [19:12] how to do it ? [19:12] azeryu: grub [19:12] i want to put the default one [19:12] reboot and choose a differetn kernel to boot into [19:13] this one for example 2.6.32.23.24 [19:13] I get a continous Loop of "Starting File Manager" can someone help me [19:13] azeryu: boot to a normal kernel than remove the 2777 kernel using synaptic [19:13] azeryu, where did you get your current kernel? that cannot be for 10.04 [19:13] opcaity 90% fixed [19:13] except for termina and xchat [19:13] terminal [19:14] my ubuntu pc is an remote pc [19:14] i can't access on it physically for now [19:15] anyone? [19:15] soreau: I'm not geting any errors with cd check but when I start the install cd i get an error "Installation failed. The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so you might investigate the problem or try installing again." I got this same msg when I installed and, not knowing how to check for errors I went straight to installing when desktop session... [19:15] ...started. Also, I've had to download the iso many times in the las 2 days, have tried burning it with different software on 3 different PCs and I'm always geting one error or another. This one seemed to me the least harmfull and it did indeed install. I did have problems when trying my 1st reboot though :( [19:15] ender_, can you get to a terminal? [19:15] yes [19:15] Motilon: try making a bootable flash drive to install from? [19:16] ender_, check what is eating the processes with the command top in the terminal [19:18] what am i looking for exactly? [19:18] !pm > Virigoth [19:18] Virigoth, please see my private message [19:18] soreau, Dr_Willis: thats not all. I first installed 9.10 and upgraded to 10.04, geting all kinds of errors, so many I even lost wy winxp install. I came here and was adviced to install 10.04 from begining. [19:18] ender_, something that is using a lot of memory? [19:19] That's strange for an upgrade to even touch an XP install. [19:19] Motilon: Hmm. with all the probpems.. it could be some hardware issue going on. [19:19] Maybe GRUB2 just doesn't see the XP install [19:19] Motilon: this is on a laptop or desktop? [19:19] let me recreate the problem then [19:19] dr_willis: desktop [19:20] brb [19:20] Motilon: so basically theres no OS thats not crashing or causing issues on it right now? xp is flakey? linux is flakey? installing an OS is flakey... [19:21] dr_willis: no, i installed xp already [19:21] Motilon, you could check the md5sum on the ISo before burning it to be sure it is ok [19:21] Motilon: so Xp is now seeming to 'work' properly? Dosent crash any more then xp normally does? [19:21] !hashes [19:21] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [19:22] top [19:23] nothing seems to b eatting up mem or cpu [19:23] dr_willis: i havnt done a lot on xp this time, barely installed some ER apps but it seems to be doing ok [19:23] hey all [19:23] I have installed lucid [19:23] its just going crazy and not slowing the machine down at all [19:23] and tried getting irda working but it only kinda works on older kernel found in 8.04 [19:23] Hi, On a dual boot machin i set up Win7 & Ubuntu Lucid, i have several ntfs partitions (since the machine was only a windows machine), ntfs is fine for those partitions to be read/written with both win7 & ubuntu without conflict ? [19:23] and I'm trying to use that kernel without reinstall [19:23] s/machin/machine [19:23] Motilon: it proberly wouldent hurt to open up the case and give it a good dusting, and check all cables. - to test linux on it. You may want to do an install to a flash drive. and run that for a few days and see if it acts up. [19:24] i installed the 2.6.24 kernel [19:24] but when I try to boot it [19:24] it doesnt [19:24] Cain: 10.04 reads my NTFS fine [19:24] Does anyone have a tip on booting a live USB if the computer in question doesn't have BIOS support? [19:24] Motilon: You might also want to track down a 2nd hard drive to install linux to and keep the XP hd unplugged. :) Of course running memtest for a few hrs may show something wrong also. it cant hurt. [19:24] I have a rockbox-ed sansa fuze v1 that doesn't seem to show up at all when plugged in after boot. It will work if i restart the computer with it plugged in. Found a "fix" on a forum where you can put a usb thumb drive in first and then connect the fuze and that will work but I need to find a better solution if anyone knows why this weird behavior occurs. I do know that simply typing lsusb... [19:24] ...will not mount the drive though the drive does show up there and is ofcourse in msc mode as that's what I'd prefer [19:25] stil amazes me that this channel is almost a 'help for anything channel' even tho it's _not_ identified as such [19:25] dugger5688: depends on what you are wanting to do with the pc. Install an OS? just get it going? repair somtning? [19:25] Virigoth : thx, mine does too, just want to be sure [19:25] * Pr3nt1c3 slaps himself with a large piece of steak [19:26] dr_willis: will to follow, thanks! [19:26] bazhang: Im not getting anything out of the ordinary showing up [19:26] * Pr3nt1c3 slaps himself again... wrong channel [19:26] Dr_Willis: get into Ubuntu to backup/remove viruses on an XP install. [19:26] Motilon: i had a real flakey box once. and i opened it up and noticed an ide cable had a small cut from a sharp edge in the case.. [19:26] PLoP Boot Manager Lets You Boot From An USB Even If The BIOS Doesn't Support It http://ur1.ca/0jbb0 maybe this help you dugger5688 ¿¿ [19:27] what is an x3 player? [19:27] dugger5688: cant use a live cd ? There are some AV-Live cd's out there. [19:27] xangua: tried that, didn't work for me so I asked here. Thanks though. [19:27] Yo yo yo [19:27] dr_willis: gotcha. I keep a good eye on my hardware but it wont hurt to triple check [19:27] Dr_Willis: wanted full desktop env, I ended up using a live cd but the computer in question has a buggy CD drive and it was painfully slow. [19:27] dugger5688: theres also ways to boot an iso file from a hard drive --> http://www.howtoforge.com/install-linux-without-burning-an-iso-to-cd-dvd-use-the-iso-downloaded-to-your-hard-drive [19:28] can someone help me? My movie is telling me I need an x3 player to watch it? [19:28] dugger5688: no usb boot? [19:28] dugger5688: so thers no Linux on the machine right now. You want a perment linux setup on it? or just wanting to 'scan' this windows box? [19:28] I have problem with ubuntu, it switched the screen off once it starts ... the live cd as well ... when run it in safeX mode it starts and do not recognise the screen model [19:28] any hint where to start? [19:28] devi: never heard of one. what url/site is saying that? [19:29] Hey Dr_Willis, it's no site, the movie is on my computer... [19:29] devi: or do you mean to say. you play the movie.. and the MOVIE at teh begining says to go to some siet and get some thing.... [19:29] Dr_Willis, yes that's what it says [19:30] snow_wons: you can add boot options to set resolutions etc. [19:30] Dr_willis: Just scan [19:30] sound sketchy [19:30] snow_wons do you have a backup of your information? or a second partition? [19:30] devi: well not to sound mean.. but.. err.. IS this a porno? [19:30] http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091208225853AAbF0yj [19:30] Dr_Willis hahaha.. no way! [19:30] devi: that sounds like a TYPICAL Malware/virus/ type thing.. [19:30] devi: so where did the video come from? [19:30] Dr_Willis oh :( So I have to delete it? [19:30] devi: delete, find another source... [19:30] Dr_Willis: sounds like copyrighted material asking for a "plugin" to me [19:30] is what I'd do [19:30] lol [19:31] Dr_Willis: I can't tewll you ;) [19:31] bazhang: if i wait long enough it will go away and leave me with no way to open files then if i end gvfsd-trash it starts again [19:31] ActionParsnip: yep. but ive seen 'warez/mal-videos' also act likw that. [19:31] Virigoth, ok, that sucks! [19:31] devi: guess you are on your own then.. sounds like Malware to me.. or some fancy DRM. [19:31] Dr_Willis, what's a DRM? [19:31] devi: copy protection [19:32] see 'apple' :) [19:32] digital rights management [19:32] Dr_Willis: its usually some encoder (+malware) which misses certail patterns of bits. If you can find out the pattern etc you can retrieve the video [19:32] lol [19:32] are connections from freenode webchat banned on #ubuntu? [19:32] Digital RESTRICTIONS on Material :) [19:33] aha, well ok, plenty complicated and I was so looking forward to that :( [19:33] joecrawford: I was banned earlier when using it. I'm using andchat now and its fine [19:33] Bloody DRM! [19:33] hihihi [19:33] snow_wons you can try to reinstall hit the live cd and destroy the partitios and create it again, are you installing lucid lynx? or other distribution? [19:33] i don't think yours is drm [19:33] its probably a scam [19:33] devi: find a better source i guess.. IVe had to help friends 'reinstall windows' after they install some 'codecs' to watch videos on their machines. :) [19:33] well that sucks just as much [19:33] you pay to play the file and it probably infects you with some malware [19:34] devi: since you wont tell us the source.. well. :) have fun. [19:34] can someone please help me im dieing here... [19:34] call 911? [19:34] Dr_Willis, I don't even remember the source... [19:34] 'to play this video.. download this codec from some russian web site.....' <--- Never a good sign. [19:34] this isnt 911? [19:34] :) [19:34] * ender_ dies. [19:34] I haven't been following your issue so I'm no help [19:34] lol [19:34] I hate most drm but it can be done properly. The largest problem is that it already has been done wrong and so for most just the term leaves a bad taste [19:34] wombatman: most things like that stop after so many Mbs into the file. You can use dd with an offset to miss the start of the file out ;). Just takes websearching [19:35] hey everyone , i cant find many things on compizConfig Settings . like cube reflection and deformations anyone knows how to get them ? [19:35] my issue is ive got an unending list of "Starting file manager" poping up and disapearing [19:35] ok everyone, thanks for ur help and goodnight [19:35] bluelf: theres extra packages of effects/plugins in the repos. try there/those [19:35] the icon that is usually up in the panel to connect to networks is gone and i can figure out how to add it back. It automatically connected to the wifi at my house, but i cant get it to connect anywhere else because i cant see which ones are available. How can i get the network connections back in the panel? [19:35] bluelf: i'd ask in #compiz ,its more specific to you issue [19:35] and it doesnt seem to effect the computer in any way other than i cant open any files or folders [19:35] and if that doesn't work you can install from source pretty easily [19:36] yukongt: alt+f2 type: nm-applet press enter [19:36] ender_: i saw nautiuls do that once ages ago during beta.. id get 1000+ windows poping up.. then they would like crash.. then close... [19:36] ooh ooh what did you do to fix it? [19:36] yukongt: it doesn't need to be running to get connected, you just won't get notifications [19:36] What is the command to look up registrar information? [19:36] ender_: try update/upgrading from the console? perhaps theres some bug. [19:36] ender_: nothing. :) the updates eventually fixed it. [19:36] yukongt: do you have the notification area in your panel¿¿ if not add it, if yes then just launch: nm-applet [19:36] Dr_Willis any specific place i should look for these plugins? [19:36] bah!? [19:36] bluelf: the search feature of synaptic [19:37] it is showing my battery info and sound and everything else i just cant do wifi like normal [19:37] i can't connect to #ubuntu from webchat.freenode.net [19:37] Night all [19:37] i just did nm-applet and nothing changed [19:37] bluelf: synaptic is under system then administration [19:37] hi, do you know how can i make a room for play wormux in my local network? [19:37] yukongt: is the wifi configured? [19:38] i am on it now. It is connected but no icon [19:38] yukongt: nm-applet doesn't show batter, etc. It's only for networking. [19:38] OK, so, i'm not exactly sure what I did, but I think I pressed control-alt-F11 and it logged me out and went into a full screen terminal. Any one know what that was about, or how to get the UI back to a GUI when it happens? [19:38] yukongt: it isn't needed to get wifi, you only need it to configure new and existing connections [19:39] You can try 'killall nm-applet' then use alt+F2 and enter 'nm-applet' [19:39] Might boot you off wireless though. [19:39] yukongt: the network manager service runs in the background and connects based on your configured networks [19:39] list [19:39] Spaztic_One: press alt+F7 [19:40] join ubuntu-e [19:40] Spaztic_One, alt f8 or f10 somethingl ike that try yes as guntbert says [19:40] i know this should be asked in another chanel (i did already), but does anyone happen to know how to edit the Applications menu in xfce for ubuntu 10.4? I think i found the file but it doesn't work to modify it (/etc/xdg/.../xfce-applications.menu) [19:40] yea but i was wanting back to normal. i want to be able to connect at work and everything [19:40] dugger5688: it won't, the applet is only a config gui. Just like you don't need firestarter running to have the firewall up [19:40] OK, thanks guys. Now, can you tell me what exactly I did anyway? [19:40] yukongt: add the NOTIFICATION AREA to the panel [19:40] bluelf: you can also check http://wiki.compiz.org/Install/PluginsFromGit [19:40] yyy [19:40] right [19:40] bluelf: you should do the synaptic thing first and then if you still miss stuff do that [19:40] Spaztic_One, that was terminal you logged into without loosing your current session [19:41] irc after 15years [19:41] xangua: thanks thats what i was looking for! [19:41] still works [19:41] anyway to make evolution standby apart from alltrya === sam_ is now known as sinusoid [19:41] Ah, ok, but I had to login on that [19:41] Andy_: you can edit the files in /usr/share/applications if you want [19:41] bluelf: sometimes it can also help to install from source if the plugin is broken [19:41] is there anyway to make evolution standby on the panel apart from alltray [19:42] i have question about accu consumption in ubuntu [19:42] anybody help? [19:42] invinciblemutant: there's a plugin for it online (not in the repo afaik) [19:42] Dr_Willis, wombatman, thanks i just did synaptic thing [19:43] !ask | aczer [19:43] aczer: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:43] invinciblemutant: what's wrong with alltray if it works?

[20:01] ok i can not get my wireless card to connect to the internet . my card is registering to the computer but not connecting. help [20:01] nico__, he is back Actionparsnip === sdwrage is now known as sdwrage-hiking [20:02] nico__: did the command show APs [20:03] hello [20:03] i have a bit of a big problem [20:03] nico__: use pastebin as instructed in future [20:03] i can't install the ati vid card driver using the jockey anymore [20:04] hi [20:04] and when i boot i get an error [20:04] nico__: ok if you use network manager in the top right can you connect? [20:04] hey RoH^ :) [20:04] i tried the "official" ati drivers, bad idea D: [20:04] i don't know how and personally am tired of being a 31 year old woman having to stick by rules for 4 year olds. if i didn't need to get this young ladies computer fixed i wouldn't even bother. [20:04] nico__: also try a wired connection and get updated. May help [20:05] Szgan, install manually then. apt-get install fglrx [20:05] says it already at the latest version [20:05] but every time i startup i get a error [20:05] i can connect because i am hard wired in but where she is she can only work wirelessly [20:05] i guess no one knows how to solve my problem.. :'( [20:05] so i have to revert to low graphocs mode [20:05] nico__: you have the hard part done. The device his drivered [20:05] Why can I not add my own Google Talk Account? [20:06] as a Buddy^ [20:06] when i uninstalled the ati drivers, it changed something in xorg or something and it errored [20:06] no idea about to boot directly with a terminal and without xserver [20:06] yea i know that took me 3 days to accomplish, this is where i am pulling my hair out though because i'm going it is supose to be working!!!! [20:06] lol [20:06] i googled and did the commands they said at that page [20:06] JOIN [20:06] but still gives me the error D: [20:06] nico__: I suggest installing wicd and using that. It will automagically remove betwork manager for you. Wicd gives a lot more info ab out how the connection is going [20:07] how do u do that? [20:07] nico__: you may also want to reboot and run: dmesg | less ,to see if the device needs a firmare file you don't have [20:07] how can i convert bmps to jpgs from the console? [20:07] QUIT [20:08] hello all i was wondering a little something that i hope someon can help me with [20:08] nico__: the rules apply to everyone, not just you. i'm a 45 year old man and the rules apply to me. [20:08] nico__: sudo apt-get install wicd; sudo apt-get --purge remove network-manager* [20:08] :D lol [20:08] Hilikus_: install imagemagick and use the command: convert [20:08] thanks ActionParsnip [20:08] so anyone know i can get rid of the error on startup? (the video driver one) [20:09] Hilikus_: convert inputfilename.bmp outputfilename.jpg [20:09] i have lucid installed on an old thinkpad t20 and i am using a usb wifi stick to get online.. after a while i lose connection and i was wondering if it was a power management thing that was causing it [20:09] Hilikus_: if you have a lot to do you can use it in a script [20:09] sean-laptop: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail ,it should give clues [20:09] in terminal? [20:09] i know but i have been on 4 different chats 2day and if i hear about one more set of rules i think i will scream. i can't post over a certain amount, someone can't help one they find out what distro i am using cause its against the rules, etc., etc. this has been the afternoon from hell just trying to get this done. [20:09] lol [20:10] sean-laptop: yes [20:10] Talkin of Chrome http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/chrome-dev-channel-adds-gnome-keyring.html nice. [20:10] ok [20:10] damn wrong chan [20:10] nico__: shut it [20:10] Pidgin > How do I add my gtalk account as a buddy? [20:10] nico__: at 31 years of age you should have learned by now that a day can get a LOT worse than computer problems. ;) [20:11] yeah cause other than that its running fine and gives me a good connection speed off my single USB 1.1 connection that i use for it [20:11] nico__: think about it, if you paste like 40 lines it will scroll the channel like mad. Now there are about 1400 so even if 0.1% did it the channel would be complely useless as it would be full of people pasting stupidly long outputs [20:11] by the way the USB stick i am using is a Nintendo Wifi adapter.. ubuntu seems to automatically recognize it as a USB wifi stick [20:11] nico__: its a rule so the channel is actually useful rather than a perpetually scrolling mess [20:12] I can understand nico__ [20:12] ActionParsnip: which it is, anyway. :P [20:12] i ran the sudo apt-get install wicd and it said it doesn't exist [20:12] nico__: to find you distro out run: lsb_release -a [20:12] so, is there a way to reset xorg.conf file? [20:12] nico__: it's the wireless controller you're trying to get working? [20:12] mneptok: kinda but pastebin helps lots ;) [20:12] i have a wireless usb adapter that says it is there in the computer but will not connect 2 the internet [20:13] nico__: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wicd [20:13] nico__: i assume that you have already checked in System > Administration > Hardware drivers ? [20:13] mneptok: ilwlist show APs [20:14] ive got a DUP connection going to 224.0.0.56 not sure why and which service is using it, how can I go identifying this? [20:14] Pirate_Hunter: the port number may be a clue [20:14] nico__: may i PM you? [20:15] nope that didn't work either. [20:15] sure mneptok [20:15] ActionParsnip, yeah I know the port just not the service, eeerh how do I go about identifying it? [20:15] looks like i got it :) [20:15] if not il return :p [20:16] Pirate_Hunter: websearch for the port and protocol [20:18] Bonsoir tous le monde ! [20:18] Salut dick [20:18] comment ça va ?

So I tried brasero (since it is more at home in gnome) and have the similar problems. I've tried hal-disable-polling but that doesn't seem to prevent something trying to access the disk when I insert one. Any ideas? [20:24] <^Jay2^> are there any open radeon drivers for ubuntu/ [20:24] I don't think this it the right place to discuss backtrack... Can anyone tell me what is?

[20:24] fasT, how 'bout #backtrack [20:24] !radeon | ^Jay2^ [20:24] ^Jay2^: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:24] civixier, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103881 [20:24] fasT: #backtrack-linux [20:24] <^Jay2^> steffan: thanks [20:25] fasT, Also check the irc channel durt gave you. [20:25] I need some help really bad with fsck and e2fsck [20:25] thanks a lot guys [20:25] :( [20:25] fasT, didn't check to see if that's correct but there is a backtrack channel [20:25] mattwj2002: say more [20:25] okay [20:25] !backtrack [20:25] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [20:26] I always forget: Where is the file located for editing GRUB options (not grub.cfg) [20:26] ummm where to start [20:26] soadkombucha, in /etc/default IIRC. [20:26] soadkombucha: it changed with the adoption of grub2. Which are you using? [20:26] Ubuntu has reported that one of my drives is out of normal paramaters [20:27] mattwj2002: is that SMART or something else? [20:27] and another one it is starting to show corrupt too (one that I was moving partitions around on) [20:27] one second I'll have to check [20:28] the disk utility in 10.04 [20:28] DHR: Grub 2 if it's default on 10.04 [20:28] yeah smart status [20:28] DHR: I know it's not /etc/grub/grub.cfg, I just always forget where exactly it is and google always points to grub.cfg it seems [20:28] when I try to join it says: "Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned)." [20:28] maybe I can fix the other one using the gui? [20:28] soadkombucha: durt told you the right answer for frub2 [20:29] when I try to join it says: "Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned)." [20:29] fasT: Ask in #freenode [20:29] durt: Thank you. [20:29] one of my partitions I check the filesystem and it says it is not clean? what does that mean? that is using the gui? the disk utility in other words [20:30] mattwj2002: smart is about disk "hardware", fsck is about software-imposed datastructure on disk (i.e. software). Not that they are unrelated, just different levels. [20:30] Flare183: is it bout backtrack? [20:30] my netbook is trying to upgrade distros, but I'm on 10.04, what is going on? [20:30] heya people, just by mistake i deleted the whole /etc/X11, then i purged the whole xserver-xorg and reinstalled it. Im able to join GDM but Gnome doesnt start [20:30] fasT: no but it'll they'll help you work it out [20:30] I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix, fresh install [20:30] Flare183: Thanks. Let me check it out. [20:31] Flare: can you tell me why am I banned? [20:31] fasT: don't IRC as root [20:31] is there an easy gui for cleaning a partition? [20:31] mattwj2002: basically, SMART is intended to tell you that your drive is sick and it's time to migrate off it before it dies. Of course that is a gross simplification. [20:31] fasT: that is why you are banned in that channel [20:31] okay [20:32] !fsck | mattwj2002 [20:32] mattwj2002: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [20:32] mattwj2002: what *exactly* is SMART saying [20:32] I have solved my problem [20:32] kk [20:33] is there a way to disable suspend/hibernate completely? [20:33] but my screen still goes on power saving mode [20:33] one moment [20:33] Randolph: its supposed to? [20:33] Randolph: and then you cant get it back? [20:34] because i have the same problem [20:34] Sailor : yes [20:34] duffydack: I m in the Edge flipping tab of the wall plugin but Ithere are only 3 options there : Edge Flip Pointer, Move and Dnd. Where can I reduce the edge sizes ? [20:34] automatic suspension basically i cant even use it for longer than half an hour [20:34] Sailor : I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:34] Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! [20:34] :O [20:35] RoH^, I meant to disable edge flipping... [20:35] Randolph: did it work? [20:35] mattwj2002: D: [20:35] Sailor : no [20:35] hi [20:35] i have a problem a friend asked me to take a look to her hard drive [20:35] mattwj2002: backup everything, reformat and reinstall :S [20:35] connected by a USB since it don't mount itself [20:35] :( [20:35] mattwj2002: that's not a SMART messaeg. But it sure is scary. Can you carefully quote the whole thing? [20:35] oh, but I want to make it less sensitive not disable it :) [20:35] i have done a fdisk -l and i took: http://pastebin.ca/1894006 [20:35] and with a lsusb: http://pastebin.ca/1894008 [20:36] so it looks link my computer detects it but i did : sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force,umask=0 /dev/sda1 /media/externo [20:36] and i get: http://pastebin.ca/S:1894009 [20:36] any idea? [20:36] one moent [20:36] *moment [20:36] Hello guys, i have installer ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix about 1 hour before in hp pavilion dv4-2145x , i found that sound doesn't come from Haedphones? [20:36] is there a specific package or setting to get back the standard bootsplash image? After playing with kubuntu and switching back by removing the packages, I seem to have have reverted to some vga quality, 2 color image. thanks [20:36] :P [20:36] what should i do? [20:38] ? [20:39] http://pastebin.com/w2ACFd0h [20:39] I am booting from usb drive. Is there a way that I can save my changes? The OS I am using is BT4. [20:40] auska: /dev/sda is probably your internal hard disk. It only has Linux partitions. You want some other drive. [20:40] fasT ask in #backtrack , it is not supported here. [20:40] in my laptop sound does not come from headphone, what should i do? [20:40] #backtrack-linux fasT [20:40] Sailor : I tried to reinstall nvidia driver [20:41] wait [20:41] mattwj2002: is /dev/sdc1 mounted? [20:41] DHR, but what i can see from what i see whit the lsusb and the fdisk it is detected, isn't it? === soreau_ is now known as soreau [20:41] nope [20:41] :( [20:41] mattwj2002: ok good phew [20:41] it is ntfs though [20:42] mattwj2002: that looks not good. I don't know how you got such a situation. Does SMART say anything (command is smartctl; man page gives way too many options) [20:42] should I let windows try to fix it? [20:42] this is a dual boot [20:42] s [20:42] mattwj2002: windows can't mess with ext filesystems [20:42] I thought it was [20:42] it is ntfs I think [20:42] one second [20:43] mattwj2002: fsck thinks it is ext2 or ext3 or ext4. Do you? [20:43] I don't remember [20:43] one second I'll tell you [20:44] Hey [20:44] I was trying to convert everything to NTFS so my dual boot could read everything on both systems [20:44] Cool (Y) [20:44] mattwj2002: Bad idea :/ [20:44] in my laptop sound does not come from headphone, i am using ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix [20:45] auska: I don't recognize a disk in the lsusb output [20:45] auska: but even if there were one, it probably isn't /dev/sda [20:45] no that is definitely ext3 [20:45] mattwj2002: converting filesystems is a VERY bad idea on linux [20:46] is there a distro that specialize is fixing partitions? [20:46] *specializes [20:46] mattwj2002: they have certain restrictions on some that others don't it would be a very bad idea to do this [20:46] ok so i ran dmesg | tail [20:46] I didn't convert it [20:46] I resized and was going to move it by hand [20:47] convert was the wrong term [20:47] it seems to disconnect and have wlan0 change to wlan2 [20:47] mattwj2002: there is a very large number of ways of breaking filesystems. how to fix depends on how it got broke. You don't seem to know quite enough to even explain what you did. [20:47] mattwj2002: oh ok phew, sorry that I got worked up [20:47] yeah I used gparted the live cd [20:47] CAN SOMEONE HELP ME I ACCIDENTLY SUDO RM -RF MY WHOLE HARD DRIVE WHAT DO I DO [20:47] I resized the partition [20:48] and restarted and then I got this error! [20:48] sean-laptop: 1. Are you schooley's brother? 2. Sounds like a driver issue [20:48] !caps | Sainted [20:48] does this help? [20:48] Sainted: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [20:48] no i am not lol [20:48] Sainted: step on: don't touch the disk. Make it read-only. [20:48] Lol tou'che [20:48] hmmm i tried another stick with an ndiswrapper.. it would quit after a while too... [20:48] Sainted: You don't, your screwed no offense. Reinstall is your best option [20:49] hm [20:49] can anyone tell me what i need to add to my firefox apparmor file so that i can launch kate/geany from firefox? [20:49] good god alsa updates are boring.. zzzzz [20:49] sean-laptop: alright, lol sorry. What's the wireless card's name? [20:49] hey can anybody help me to figure it it out why i am not able to hear from headphone? [20:49] Sainted: with great difficulty, you might recover some data (if it is precious). A working system is not worth the bother. [20:49] Sainted: If you have important files that you need to recover you can try photorec, but there is no way around needing to re-install. [20:50] Alright lads, thanks for the heads up [20:50] ill just go about reinstalling later [20:50] Also, does anyone know if I can use wubi to install not only this, but also mint and have Fedora on a partition? [20:50] this being ubuntu [20:50] it will work again when i unplug it then plug the wifi stick back in [20:50] Suzi, have you tried changing your volume's inside alsamixer? [20:50] Sainted, yes [20:50] sean-laptop: driver issue yup [20:51] but your sound works normally? just when you plug in headphones it doesn't? [20:51] Flare183: its a nintendo wifi adapter.. ubuntu recognized it right away as a wifi adapter [20:51] yes, sound still comes from from spaeker [20:51] sean-laptop: XD No wonder, What driver is it trying to use? [20:51] how do i find that out.. in terminal?> [20:52] sean-laptop: dmesg :P [20:52] or well [20:52] lsusb -v [20:52] suzi: hm, i had this problem awhile ago in ubuntu but alsamixer and turning all the volumes to max did the trick for me [20:52] rt2500 [20:53] ... testing ... [20:53] the nintendo wifi adapter is jsut a rebadged Buffalo wifi stick [20:53] sean-laptop: ahh, then its use the right driver, but since your using a laptop your laptop's wireless card might push it over [20:53] I know how to fix it [20:53] using* [20:53] if I can get a little help [20:54] there is no wifi card in this laptop. its a thinkpad t20.. 8 years old [20:54] mattwj2002: just ask :P [20:54] sean-laptop: lolwut [20:54] it HAD an old Linksys PCMCIA card [20:54] with e2fsck does anyone know how you can say yes to all the questions besides the first abort? [20:54] sean-laptop: are you sure about that? try pastebining your lshw [20:54] yeah i upgraded the ram and i am running XFCE on it [20:55] mattwj2002: dangerous, but I think fsck has a -y flag. Check the manpage. [20:55] should I say no? [20:55] gparted told me to [20:55] well let gparted fix it [20:55] just make sure its unmounted [20:56] gparted knows what its doing [20:56] mattwj2002: "no" means declining a particular fix. Fut it might not be the right fix. That's why it is asking you. [20:56] s/fut/but/ [20:56] lol regex ^^ [20:56] ah, figured it out. adding "/usr/bin/geany Uxr," to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5 and then calling "$sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload" did the trick [20:57] only showing one wifi adapter.. the one i got plugged in [20:57] hey all which are better open readon drivers or the ati proprietary ones? [20:57] do this: [20:57] sudo lspci -v [20:57] sean-laptop: and pastebin it :P [20:57] its that old it is running a PIII 650 for a processor [20:57] ok i am a noob. pastebin.. how do i do that? [20:57] bluelf: each has advantages and disadvantages [20:58] sean-laptop: install pastebinit [20:58] sean-laptop: sudo apt-get install pastebinit === jak is now known as urlwallace [20:58] DHR: which have better performance ? any easy way i can switch and try without risking my system? [20:59] how can i set my default sound device back to pulseaudio in lucid? it somehow changed to photon [21:00] !pastebin | sean-laptop [21:00] sean-laptop: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:00] bluelf: I never use ATI's proprietary one. It is higher performance for 3d / opengl kinds of things. It doesn't coexist well with radeon or radeonhd drivers. Sometimes it won't work with the latest kernel. Since I don't use it, I don't keep track of that. [21:01] ok so it is installed [21:01] now what? lol [21:01] sean-laptop: alright, sudo lsusb -v | pastebinit [21:01] the | is the button right above the enter key [21:01] WarlockLord, Go to synaptics package manager install pulseaudio and uninstall what you don't want [21:01] WarlockLord: photon would be about light. phonon is for sound. [21:01] i upgraded my alsa to 1.23 for hdmi audio support on my nvidia card and now pulse is not available [21:01] Sailor : I finished to reinstall nvidia driver and it's OK [21:02] http://pastebin.com/uZ7L7Pyc [21:02] DHR : how can i switch to open drivers ? [21:02] is that right? [21:02] Sailor : all in a terminal [21:02] bluelf: do you know what you are using now? How did you install it? [21:03] bluelf: I'm not trying to tell you that the open source driver is better for you, only that I've decided that for me. [21:03] pulseaudio daemon says its running, but amarok does not let me pick pulse as my audio device [21:04] WarlockLord: windows solution: try rebooting. [21:04] i did :-) [21:04] i have problems with UNR on my notebook [21:04] netbook* [21:04] DHR: I will like to give them a try anyway! [21:05] Flare183:so... yeah.. what do you think [21:05] what is the error on or from this http://fpaste.org/Japn/ [21:05] alx_torres: What kind of problems? [21:05] error from ssh [21:06] i dont have network [21:06] bluelf: I've heard complaints that the proprietary driver setup mucks config files or something else in a way that makes the open source driver not work. Details unknown to me. [21:06] so how do i make pulseaudio take preference over phonon? [21:06] sean-laptop: hold on [21:06] DHR: i am currently using ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphic card [21:06] ok sorry friend [21:07] alx_torres: wired or wireless? [21:07] DHR : is it safe to try ?? cause i want to ! === clay is now known as claybustr [21:07] wireless [21:08] hi guys im about to install leafnode, nntp server but i will need help if there is somebody who can help me please pm me thank you [21:08] one of kernel has got corrupted and I am using my older kernel, Is there any way to fix that kernel? [21:08] alx_torres: Can you detect any network with your wifi? [21:08] bluelf: I've not done it. Historically, others have had little config problems. Config problems with X are often annoying to figure out. So my advice is: don't bother unless you are willing to have a minor adventure. This may be coloured by the many little problems I'm having in other parts of Lucid. [21:08] or better still, how do i make pulseaudio light up as an option again in phonon settings? [21:09] DHR: oh then lets let it be ! maybe some other time .. thanks for your help [21:09] anirvana: how did that happen? Easiest: let the package manager remove, then install. [21:10] DHR : It happened after I installed wireless driver [21:10] hello, I dont remember if I installed ubuntu 32 or 64, how can I know which version im using? [21:10] usr_: uname -a [21:11] 64-bit will say "x86_64" towards the end [21:11] anirvana: that should break a kernel. So maybe you mean something different from what I do by that phrase. [21:11] Someone knows a guide/tutorial to create a simple upstart script with the 'supervision thing (to ensure a daemon is always running? [21:11] Will my ati 4870 video card work in ubuntu and what drivers sholud I use?

[21:11] anybody know how to setup Leafnode ? please help [21:11] [repeat] I'm having a lot of trouble with k3b on Lucid. It looks to me as if DVD auto-mounting (for lack of a better term) is interfering with k3b. So I tried brasero (since it is more at home in gnome) and have the similar problems. I've tried hal-disable-polling but that doesn't seem to prevent something trying to access the disk when I insert one. Any ideas? [21:11] hmmm actually pulseaudio works in skype but not in amarok?? [21:12] armor-64: you have usbmode switch installed? [21:12] DHR : So what should I do? [21:12] can anyone help me with the program qemu? [21:12] hi [21:12] kjele: dunno but how to install? [21:12] hello [21:12] no... i cant detect networks [21:13] armor-64: apt-get install usb-modeswitch [21:13] anirvana: describe what you called "corruption". google some of the messages that look relevant. === sam_ is now known as sinusoid [21:13] WarlockLord: you don't see "pulseaudio" in Amarok2 output device list? [21:14] DHR : I got the error "kernel panic not syncing......" .I am sure we call it corruption technically! [21:14] guys.. how do I disable RandR best in lucid? it's the gnome desktop.. I'm suspecting randr to be responsible for the screen flickering on my intel 4500 graphics card in my lenovo.. [21:14] DHR : I got the error "kernel panic not syncing......" .I am not sure we call it corruption technically! [21:16] anirvana: the kernel panic message usually has lots of lines, including tracebacks and the like. If you can get that in pastebin.ca that might help us. But it might be more typing than you are willing to do [21:16] kjele: ok i install it,and now what to do? [21:16] hey [21:16] Yeah I just installed Lucid and all I get is a black screen and a blinking underscore [21:17] DHR, ok I need to restart for that [21:17] sorry.. had some trouble.. should anyone have answered sorry, please write again.. [21:17] anirvana: wait! [21:17] armor-64: replug it in [21:17] <_Eighteens> i had lucid working for like 3 days then the power went out, and now i have nothing... and it wont reinstall for some darn reason, any help for me? [21:17] well [21:17] DHR , ok :) [21:17] I tried testdisk [21:18] here goes nothing!!! [21:18] Anyone else having the black screen issue? [21:18] gparted couldn't fix it [21:18] anirvana: is your system still running? You then can capture the output of the dmesg command. Much easier than typing. And more reliable and complete. [21:18] and I killed grub! [21:18] :( [21:18] Anyone? [21:18] DHR: i tried removing proprietary it says systemerror : installArchives() failed [21:19] can somebody pm please i need step by step with Leafnode i can also give you free remote access to the box if you n eed it, im really in need of help thank you [21:19] DHR : yes my system is running, I am working from an older kernel === IceDeep_ is now known as Ice_Deep [21:19] hi..met pagi apa ada orang indo di sini [21:19] anirvana: ah, right, sorry, you already rebooted after the panic (or system did that for you).

If this one is unresponsive you can use most other gpg key servers as well - for instance http://pgp.mit.edu/ [21:24] I've searched everywhere for an answer to my question and to no avail. Most of the questions are unanswered. [21:24] I was hoping Ubuntu would be semi easy to set up for a noobie but I guess not. [21:24] my lucid installation isn't completed without leechcraft [21:24] linuxnoob: what is up? [21:24] linuxnoob: you'll have to give us more information. Does the system boot? [21:25] or do you see the underscore immediately? [21:25] anirvana: if the system doesn't actually lock up at panic, you can run the command "dmesg" to get the text of the panic. Best to redirect to a file so that you can look at it later too. [21:25] The underscore pops up right after the bios splash screen [21:25] kjele: yeah it's listed as ZTE MF638 (aka "Onda MDC525UP") the same name is back from the usb [21:25] * DanC_mm wonders how to use other keyservers with apt-key; maybe just manually download... [21:25] armor-64: perhaps a reboot then. [21:25] bluelf, if the driver was installed from synaptic, it can be reinstalled [21:26] kjele: ok w8 [21:26] it seems that pgp.mit.edu doesn't know anything about needed key [21:26] linuxnoob: sounds like your hardware isn't fully supported by Ubuntu yet. I had the same trouble on this laptop, until the most recent version of Ubuntu.

[21:28] certainly by Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 and Ubuntu 9.10 [21:28] anirvana: too bad. That means you need to copy the text by hand. There is a lot of text. Only some of it matters, but it is hard for me to explain what is important. If you have a camera, take a picture and post that. Saves a lot of typing! [21:28] steffan: yes, it's up, but it doesn't contain the key I need to install leechcraft [21:28] Yeah I downloaded full Ubuntu; does the Netbook Remix have all the eyecandy? [21:29] anirvana: I have no way of knowing if your but would be fixed in 10.04: I don't have a clue what your bug is. [21:29] linuxnoob, yea but if u work a lot with computers u wont like it [21:29] planetes: ah! I misunderstood [21:29] linuxnoob: Netbook Remix has a special, different UI which is meant for small screens [21:29] aha... found the key on keys.gnupg.net [21:29] it's quite pretty in its own right [21:29] linuxnoob, i would go with the standard 32 bit 10.04 lts [21:29] <^Jay2^> help. i upgraded my kernel to 2.6.34 and now my wifi wont work :D i am using lucid [21:29] its pretty but useless [21:30] DanC_mm: wow, thanks!

I just came in and saw him ask that. =P [22:37] how do i create the launcher myself? [22:37] i have no idea where the program is located [22:37] and during install of the server version it says it cannot find anything on the cdrom [22:37] lol [22:37] LJRuff: :) [22:37] DuffHimself, are you in gnome? [22:37] err [22:37] ubuntu :p [22:37] 'failed to copy file from cdrom' [22:37] like i said earlier, <-- total moron [22:37] guntbert, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458896/ [22:37] !gnome | DuffHimself [22:37] DuffHimself: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [22:38] DuffHimself, so the answer is yes. =) Right click the "Applications" button and click "Edit Menu" [22:38] it just did it again so that should be about up to date (and i am on atlantic time so it is 1838 hours here now [22:38] DuffHimself: what application is it? [22:38] Mupen64Plus [22:40] its an N64 emulator :p [22:40] DuffHimself, most of us know what it is. =) Did you open the edit menus menu? [22:40] i did, yes [22:40] You see two fields with icons, yeah? [22:40] DuffHimself: it will most likely be in /usr/bin so something like /usr/bin/mupen64 would be the path [22:41] DuffHimself: i think that's a command-line app. in which case a GUI launcher will not be created for it. [22:41] I'm trying to unmount root on the live cd, I just restored my GRUB [22:41] It is telling me that the device is busy what shoudl i do? [22:41] sean-laptop: I don't see anything suspicious there - but I'm not too good with debugging wlan - maybe someone else can take a look (poking LJRuff :-)) [22:41] guntbert, thanks man [22:41] yeah, menus and items [22:41] DuffHimself, in the Menus Field select Games, then select "New Item" [22:41] linuxnoob: risky, but try to force it with a flag or via sudo [22:41] sean-laptop: Good luck :-) [22:42] done [22:42] LJRuff, you want a crack at this and possibly diagnose my issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/458896/ [22:42] Sure, sean-laptop, =) let me finish up with DuffHimself [22:42] =) [22:42] DuffHimself, open up a terminal and type in ls -a | grep mupen [22:43] LJRuff, thanks man.. means a lot.. i am using a nintendo wifi adapter to get online and it keeps dropping the connection [22:43] DuffHimself, did it return a line? [22:43] nope [22:43] sean-laptop: i heard about that so was it just a regular 54mbps dongle acting as a access point? [22:43] nothing [22:43] "ls -a | grep mupen" right? [22:43] Yes [22:43] How do I force unmount root? [22:44] terminal> mupen64plus --help [22:44] LJRuff: if this is a CLI app that requires flags be sent to it (e.g. location of a ROM) then a GUI launcher is going to be as useful as a whistle on a plow. [22:44] LJRuff, yep.. its just a rebadged Buffalo USB wifi stick [22:45] mnemon, I wonder how useful whistles are on plows.... but while I contemplate that - I am curious now where it launches from. [22:45] LJRuff, in windows it needs a special driver but in ubuntu i just plug it in and it works as a wifi dongle [22:45] Hello, when I start my computer use to I was able to boot into windows xp or choose ubuntu or choose memtest, now since I upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04, I can't boot into windows xp. I can only boot into ubuntu and memtest, windows xp is just a black screen. [22:45] sean-laptop: damn, shoulda kept mine [22:45] LJRuff: if installed from the Software Center, it certainly is not installed to the root of a user's home directory. [22:45] sean-laptop, so it works but it drops the connection on occasion? [22:45] aeon-ltd, yeah works nice.. i had two given to me [22:45] DuffHimself: type "which mupen64plus" in a terminal [22:46] LJRuff, it will drop the connection randomly.. here is the pastebin url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458896/ [22:46] mneptok, you got this for me with DuffHimself? =) [22:46] "/usr/games/mupen64plus" [22:46] LJRuff: sure. [22:46] sean-laptop, I am looking at it now [22:46] LJRuff, thats the syslog copypasta [22:46] mneptok, thanks! [22:46] DuffHimself: now just type "mupen64plus" [22:46] DuffHimself: what happens? [22:47] woah [22:47] lots of text and then a GUI window opened [22:47] :p [22:47] How do I change sound device in ubbuntu 10.04? It used o be System -> Preferences -> Sound and under the tab "devices" [22:47] DuffHimself: does the GUI window contain a way to load a ROM? [22:47] sean-laptop, I am looking into this now. =) [22:47] LJRuff, thanks bud! [22:48] yes [22:48] "open rom" [22:48] and "play", "config controls" etc. [22:48] the usuals [22:48] DuffHimself: OK, then a GUI launcher will work. [22:48] OK so the issue is more pronounced than I thought.. Anyone know why my sound doesn't work as soon as I go to load a virtual machine? [22:49] DuffHimself: close any windows that are currently open. let's get back to a clean screen. [22:49] hi [22:49] !hi | re182 [22:49] re182: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[22:50] right, ready === sam_ is now known as sinusoid [22:50] LJRuff, thats cool man.. works again when i unplug it and plug it back in [22:50] DuffHimself: go to System > Preferences > Main Menu [22:50] soadkombucha, probably because you're not using pulse but instead your using alsa which means that the first application to request sound input gets control of it but than I just logged on [22:50] I have one in windows, but i'm on a shoddy internet connection right now and it's hard to seek for one on the internet....irc works better [22:50] sean-laptop, you could always ask in #linux or #hardware.

[22:51] sean-laptop, yw [22:51] DuffHimself: highlight "Games" and click the "New Item" button [22:51] aeon-ltd: my main problem is that my laptop can not connect to internet via my mobile broadband usb,as i say i can do updates but not to surf with firefox,maybe you can help me with the proxy settings if it is the prob [22:51] right [22:52] re182 System-> SystemMonitor->Resources [22:52] DuffHimself: "Tyoe" is "Application." "Name" is mupen64plus. "Command" is /usr/games/mupen64plus [22:52] DuffHimself: when that's filled in, click "OK" and then look in the Games menu [22:52] armor-64: so you are connected via mob. broadband, updates work, browsing doesn't. clear the proxy settings in ff if you get your settings set by your isp [22:53] hi all, after last apt-get upgrade my ubuntu doesn't start anymore, after grub it goes black and stays like that for ever.

[22:56] studentz: gnome [22:56] aeon-ltd, I commented out the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true lines in /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub.

[22:59] aeon-ltd, It's nothing like that. If this were original grub, I would say that /boot/grub/menu.lst didn't even have a Windows stanza in it. [22:59] but still no go [22:59] crystaltv: are you still there? [23:00] aeon-ltd, Now with the change to grub2 I have no idea what is missing from where. [23:00] peropero: I am.. looking at that lnk you sent someone else [23:00] When telling the system to (without quotes) "wget --no-verbose --no-directories --directory-prefix=/media/shares/_DOWNLOADS_/_OPERATION-FLASHPOINT_/ADDONS_/ --append-output=/home/administrator/wget0.txt http://www.opflashpoint.org/downloads/file.php?s=14&v=1", Wget saves the PHP file instead of starting to get the file the address should give. What am I doing wrong here ? [23:00] yes, the checksum of cd images i create it from are correct [23:00] looks like ubuntu cannot be installed from usb [23:00] crystaltv: I did it again for this new problem but it doesn't seem to solve it. [23:00] aeon-ltd, On second thought, that might do the trick. [23:00] aeon-ltd, Please tell me I don't have to write a shell script just to boot into Windows. :( [23:01] Is it normal for Xdebug to hang forever i mean a 200 lines scipt shouldnt take 10 mins [23:01] michal|3s: did you use the .img(s) or .iso(s)? [23:01] I get no errors [23:01] aeon-ltd: iso [23:01] aeon-ltd: with universal usb installer. ... sth [23:01] right, bug reported to launchpad [23:01] thanks for the help guys :) [23:02] peropero: not sure what to do now.. [23:02] erpo: it'll be worth it though :) [23:02] WTF [23:02] aeon-ltd, Why did Ubuntu decide to make things harder? [23:02] I got my netbook to boot Lucid then when I restart it refuses to boot again after 20 minutes of inputting terminal commands [23:02] erpo: they didn't, they thought the new one would be even more automagic than the last [23:02] crystaltv: that makes two of us, I don't know if it's related to the dual boot, to the 64bits or to the last upgrade... what else do we have in common? How do you get to a console? [23:03] michal|3s, this morning their was a talk about installing ubuntu from usb you might want to check out plop, it boots usb devices as hard disks independent from bios, I haven not tested it but it is possible and you could install the iso that way [23:03] I feel like reloading win 7 on this computer... [23:03] Pirate_Hunter: plop you say? i will google for it [23:03] This is ridiculous I have never had this much trouble just getting an OS to boot [23:04] peropero: hang on.. need to reboot after this poker tourney to try a Ubuntu boot ;) [23:04] crystaltv: lol ok i'm on the live cd [23:04] aeon-ltd, Thanks for your help. I'm going to try rebooting. If I don't come back, that means it worked! :)....or my system is unbootable. [23:04] michal|3s, good luck tell me how it goes [23:04] crystaltv: ping me as you reboot [23:04] Can anyone help? [23:04] Pirate_Hunter: thx, ok i will [23:04] When telling the system to "wget --no-verbose --no-directories --directory-prefix=/media/shares/_DOWNLOADS_/_OPERATION-FLASHPOINT_/ADDONS_/ --append-output=/home/administrator/wget0.txt http://www.opflashpoint.org/downloads/file.php?s=14&v=1", Wget saves the PHP file instead of starting to get the file the address should give, just like when accessing that address from a Web browser. What am I doing wrong here ? [23:04] erpo: k, hope i didn't destroy anythin [23:04] I just finished "restoring GRUB" and no its screwing up yet again... [23:04] how do i configure gnome again for things like moving those buttons to where they make sense? [23:05] gconf->apps->metacity [23:05] soulpro: what packages is gconf? it says i don't have it when i type it in the terminal [23:06] grub gives me this when i try to set it up again after installing windows XP: grub> root (hd6,0) grub> setup (hd0) Error 15: File not found [23:06] Hi here. [23:06] anyone able to help me? [23:06] I there a way to cleanly fix my sound ? Sometime it's working, sometime it doesn't... I'm getting mad. [23:06] ... [23:06] Where did the people who were helping me earlier go? [23:07] peropero: sure thing.. IF I can get Ubuntu up [23:07] crystaltv: Live CD rulez :D [23:07] ilon: you're trying to install a harddrive that doesn't exist. Either your harddrive number is wrong or your path is [23:07] peropero: prolly gona go that way [23:07] Nevermind. [23:07] or load a different HD and just call it good [23:07] The channel is pretty much empty... With about 1400 people, but still. [23:07] I'm going to wipe again and reinstall [23:07] anyone know how i access gconf? [23:08] kohlrak, alt+f2 => gconf-editor [23:08] blue112: thank you... [23:08] rautamiekka: put the http address in quotes [23:08] * kohlrak wonders why it can't simply be gconf [23:08] kohlrak: the drive from root is /dev/sdg5, for root is /dev/sdg1 (hd6,0) [23:08] hi [23:09] kohlrak, gconf [tab][tab] in a terminal would answer you too. === sandy is now known as Guest27430 [23:09] i need to get my speakers working again? thanks [23:09] I know Linux is typically for the more tech inclined which I thought I was but shouldn't an OS like this just WORK and not give the end user hours of frustration just to boot to the login screen? [23:09] linuxnoob, sounds like a troll. [23:09] blue112: hm.... [23:09] I'm serioius [23:09] Linux is user friendly, but it is very picky about the friends it makes [23:10] ilon: well grub's trying to work with "hd0" [23:10] every time someone gets frustrated they get called a troll [23:10] linuxnoob, for me it just worked [23:10] crystaltv, I do agree on that one [23:10] Why is about:crashes absent in Firefox? [23:10] I'm not trolling I've been working on this for the entire day and it keeps hanging right after the BIOS splash screen [23:10] Black and with a flashing udnerscore [23:11] Hi sandy_ [23:11] need help with sund please [23:11] Pirate_Hunter :) [23:11] linuxnoob, if you explain your problem than maybe you'll get help and please nothing vague do explain so other can understand [23:11] sandy_: are you the one I talked to before? [23:11] I have just restored the grub, it booted after showing me some unknown error code that flashed by and then I restarted to make sure all was well, and then it went right back to the blank screen [23:11] sandy_, just ask the full question in one line [23:11] sebsebseb hi and yes i am [23:12] linuxnoob, how did you restore grub and what is this unknown error, can you go into recovery? [23:12] kohlrak: hd0 is present aswell, and i tried both 'setup (hd0)' aswell as 'setup (hd6)', neithe worked, same error [23:12] sebsebseb there is a code to type in the terminal and i cant find it. thanks [23:12] hi all, after last apt-get upgrade my ubuntu doesn't start anymore, after grub it goes black and stays like that for ever. Now I'm on the live cd and I tried to do chroot /media/correctpartition and then apt-get upgrade but it dies with E: Sub-process http returned an error code (100).... any hint? [23:12] I don't know exactly what it said but it flashed by with a URL and said something about needing correct firmware? [23:12] yeah I can get into recovery [23:12] ilon: well, it's been a long time since i've done it, so i forget exactly how this works, but try googling for a few more tutorials [23:12] !details | sandy_ [23:12] hi all, after last apt-get upgrade my ubuntu doesn't start anymore, after grub it goes black and stays like that for ever. Now I'm on the live cd and I tried to do chroot /media/correctpartition and then apt-get upgrade but it dies with E: Sub-process http returned an error code (100).... any hint? - add info: 664bit and multiboot, as it should mean something... [23:12] sandy_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:12] i wish i could stay and help, but i have ALOT more setup to do X( [23:12] re182 the command in CLI is iwconfig, but I do not find any applet or appp that shows this information, Applications -> accessories->terminal type iwconfig. :) [23:13] thune3: That did the trick. Thank you :) [23:13] Hi - I got hit by the libparted bug [23:13] I went to recovery and its stuck at [ 2.26.2377] ata4: DUMMY [23:13] linuxnoob, that the problem you're not reading what your machine outputs if it tells you you need a firmware maybe you should try to find out what is the firmware, what type of machine you got (motherboard) [23:14] how can I get ubiquity to tell gparted to not open /dev/sdb ? [23:14] sebsebseb the speakers quit working again and everything says they are on. before some one gave me something to type in terminal that brought up a box and i was able to unmute them. [23:14] sandy_: ah yes [23:14] also.. why can't I do apt-get install ncurses? === aubreyja_ is now known as JasonAubrey [23:14] I have a HP mini 110. I couldn't have possibly read all of what flashed on the screen it was up for a second or two and then went to the login [23:14] sandy_: maybe alsamixer in the terminal, even though Ubuntu uses pulseaudio by default since 8.04 [23:15] Bios update maybe? [23:15] linuxnoob linux is chatty when it starts up [23:15] linuxnoob: lol sounds like Ubuntu booting up really fast like its supposed to :P [23:15] g [23:15] hi all, after last apt-get upgrade my ubuntu doesn't start anymore, after grub it goes black and stays like that for ever. Now I'm on the live cd and I tried to do chroot /media/correctpartition and then apt-get upgrade but it dies with E: Sub-process http returned an error code (100).... any hint? - additional info: 64bit and multiboot, as it should mean something... [23:16] linuxnoob, when it goes black can you change to any of the tty screens using ctrl+alt+f(1-6)? [23:16] !patience | peropero [23:16] peropero: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [23:16] Hi, gparted - how to make sure it doesn't try to open /dev/sdb when ubiquity starts it for the install? [23:16] <^Jay2^> can someone test this for me? i can't seem to compile this http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [23:17] :D Can't wait to get this running, I ditched Window 7 Starter because for pretty much any purpose it was completely useless. [23:17] sebsebseb there is things missing in there this time some of the bars are not there. [23:17] linuxnoob: ah yes indeed [23:17] if i'm tail watching a log file, how do I quit it? [23:17] I'll get back to you on that Pirate [23:17] re182 Also Cairo-dock has an applet that display his information. Install cairo-dock via synaptic or find the ppa. :) [23:17] i used tail -f log [23:17] RickyWh: press q [23:17] linuxnoob: starter editions of Windows three apps open at once and thats it, yeah? [23:17] Flare183, tried that, nope [23:17] linuxnoob, how did you lose grub is this a clean install, have you got your graphics drivers loaded [23:17] RickyWh: ctrl+c [23:18] sweet, yup [23:18] Pirate_Hunter: lots of joins, maybe some new comer knows the answer [23:18] how do i make dpkg auto satisfy dependencies? [23:18] I don't know what graphics drivers it would use, I assume it uses intel graphics accelerator if anything at all. Its got the Intel Atom [23:18] guys, seriously, whats up with not being able to install weechat? [23:18] RickyWh: that's the easiest way of stopping any program [23:18] ok cool [23:18] thanks [23:19] peropero, maybe who knows its all about wait and see [23:19] Flare183: ^c [23:19] linuxnoob, hmmm... was it working before or is this a clean install [23:19] is there any reason for apt-get update not working using chroot on an other partition if I can ping the repo? [23:20] Clean install. [23:20] switch10_: what? [23:20] linuxnoob, did you try the tty screens? [23:20] linuxnoob: your on a netbook? so did the netbook edition? [23:20] Pirate_Hunter: sure, but except a mispelling correction I'm not flooding though [23:20] !sound | sandy_ [23:20] sandy_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[23:23] kanv_, wouldn't hold my breath [23:23] I tried CTRL ALT + F(1-6) and didn't get anything [23:24] linuxnoob, so its a clean install and your trying to fix it im not syaing the full day you've used up has gone to waste but wouldn't it have been much easier if you redo your installation and use the livecd to find out what type of hardware you have [23:24] ubutom : :) [23:24] has anything relevant been found about the i945 graphics nightmare in the last few weeks..... [23:25] Yeah [23:25] want to setup the boot partition to one drive, and the /home structure to another, can anyone point me to a simple tut or site for this... rather than google.... [23:25] Rp3 try Linux doc project on partitioning [23:26] Rp3, isn't repartitioning still quite a risky business? [23:26] I am lost [23:26] new install, so no biggie [23:26] kanv_: I've got s3virge and it works pretty well with 3d stuff [23:26] crystaltv, 10-4, will give it a look... [23:26] Rp3, ah, go ahead then. :D [23:26] 10.04 is very very better than before versions on my shit HP 2133, ubuntu team did a good job, but this graphic driver is problen also in 10.04 [23:26] Is there a reasonable way to install KDE from Ubuntu? I want to run both Kbuntu and Ubuntu from the same system. [23:27] quentusrex: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [23:27] Rp3: Are you talking about partitioning using Server or Alternate installer, or graphical installer ? [23:27] What to do Pirate? [23:28] quentusrex, try the package `kubuntu-desktop` [23:28] desktop, hvae a ssd for boot then put everything else on HD, at least what I am thinking, brand new so I can play.. [23:28] linuxnoob, just checked you lappy online and apparently the only issue it had or still has with ubuntu is the sound and ethernet not working other than that it should work so I assume something went wrong on install [23:28] lousygarua: way ahead of you, I already told him :P [23:28] hi [23:28] Flare183, oh haha missed that [23:28] lousygarua: :P np [23:28] !hi | darkas [23:28] darkas: Hi!

[23:28] Hi, my USB-1 webcam won't work after booting if I don't change unplug and re-plug it. (logitech quickcam; ) I searched a lot, but couldn't find anyone with that problem. Ideas please ? :) [23:28] Flare183, but you didn't give him the "if you later want to get rid of it, be warned!" :) [23:29] Flare183, although it's not such an issue [23:29] Rp3: Oh, then I can't assist right based off of my head, so I go find you a tut' for it. [23:29] (my "logitech quickcam" lsusb ignature is 046d:0850) [23:29] lousygarua: yeah that's the hard and evil part XD [23:29] hi [23:30] Ideas anyone? Please? [23:30] rautamiekka, no worries, I will play and figure it out...new machine for GF so I have some time, as the other machine still works just slow... [23:30] But the install went wrong 5 or 6 times in a row? Is there a way to format the HDD so I can install on a truly clean drive? DBAN didn't work for me and said something about boot errors [23:31] linuxnoob, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks look for your laptop and read what it says === links is now known as LiNkS^ [23:32] I'm trying to tether my phone, but the only pages i can view are google pages. I can search, product search, image search, but can't load anything else.. but I can ping yahoo for example, but even trying to go to the ip address doesnt work.. weird, right? [23:33] blind, can you open a terminal? If so, try "host google.fr" and "host yahoo.com", paste the result [23:34] I'm having a problem with my touchpad (netbook, ubuntu 10.4 netbook remix): it seems that synaptics doesn't like my touchpad: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/64TE3nta (important part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log) [23:34] this was probably poorly thought out. now im on wireless. [23:34] (Second posting, anyone ?) Hi, my USB-1 webcam won't work after booting if I don't change unplug and re-plug it. (logitech quickcam; 046d:0850) I searched a lot, but couldn't find anyone with that problem. Ideas please ? :) [23:34] i'll be back in a few. [23:35] Through some strange circumstances, my /etc/apt/sources.list has been wiped. Can anyone tell me the code to type in to get some basic packages from the official repos? I'm running i386, unsure of my version, but I have access to a TTY. [23:35] megra: if cam drivers installed it will work on opening programm try cheese or skype [23:35] darkas, your touchpad works or not ? The logs seems fine till line 50 [23:35] and I also had to use the "old" 2.6.32-21 kernel instead of the 2.6.32-23 one, because this one detected my touchpad as a "Generic PS/2 Mouse"... [23:35] hi [23:35] djanatyn-fonxa: use the software sources gui and just change the "download from" drop down and it will re-create it [23:36] djanatyn-fonxa, - hold on [23:36] djanatyn-fonxa: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard [23:36] is there anyway to get DeVeDe to remember settings? [23:36] lemme get you ine [23:36] i don't have access to X. [23:36] megra: some logitech works with skype but doesnt with other programms [23:36] ikonia: He doesn't have a GUI atm [23:36] ikonia: X isn't installed yet ^_^ [23:36] djanatyn-fonxa, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [23:36] Kangarooo, yes it works ... sometime. If I unplug and replug after boot/reboot, cheese works fine. If I don't, cheese shows nothinjg but a black screen [23:36] how can i connect to wifi on boot? atm i have to login in the gui so that wifi connects [23:36] megra: it works, but only like a mouse [23:36] djanatyn-fonxa: X is installed by default [23:36] so no scrolling etc. [23:36] In Pidgin, my Googletalk Account is signed, AND I am on my buddy list. Why does my buddy list say that im off line and then place a red X over the grey circle with the words "Not Authorized" underneath? [23:36] ikonia: he's systems is b0rked [23:36] it shouldn't "uninstall X" though [23:37] ikonia: ...well, I'm not using the standard desktop install. I prefer to get rid of my bloatware, and besides, I don't even use GNOME. [23:37] djanatyn-fonxa: what are you using [23:37] Kangarooo, and sometimes I get errors from "v4l" about input/output errors [23:37] djanatyn-fonxa, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/wzM6Gh0Z [23:37] ...not sure, this is from 306 days ago, according to my logs. [23:37] Kangarooo, I just don't understand why it's doing that [23:37] Rp3: If you're patient enough, I download the Ubuntu Desktop image and boot my other machine with it so I'll see what you see and can tell what to do. [23:37] megra, the host command works for any site. [23:38] Kangarooo, plus the webcam only works on some USB ports ... just *** strange :D . Do you think it might have something to do with working only in USB-1 mode ? [23:38] DesiArnez6, pidgin is just trying to tell you that speaking to yourself is a bad sign. [23:38] blind, ok, try "wget http://www.google.com" [23:39] megra: no this u better all u wrote better post to ubuntu forums.. [23:39] lynx only loads google, too, no nothing else. [23:39] blind, if it works, then your browser might be the problem otherwise, the network just don't like you :) [23:39] phibxr, lol iagree, but AIM, yahoo, and MSN let me do it [23:39] blind: not if you press g and type in a url :P [23:39] Kangarooo, k [23:39] Flare183, ? [23:40] megra: the problem is that none of the configuration I do is applied to my touchpad [23:40] blind: in lynx press g (to goto a url) and type in a url to goto [23:40] so I can enable scrolling, but nothing changes [23:40] oh, i know that. i passed the url at the cli [23:40] phibxr, i also hop others are not seeing me as offline [23:40] blind: oh alright, just letting you know :) [23:41] Now my machine decides to boot up just fine, we'll see how it works after a couple of restarts [23:41] Petskull: Thank you. [23:41] linuxnoob, eeeerh sounds more like over heating and did you read that link?

[23:44] I just found a folder named "PROTECTED_STORE_PATH" under my home folder.What is it? [23:44] yeah it has a pretty serious one with some usb sticks [23:44] linuxnoob, if it tells you to do that for your machine its because they know why and it tells you what to install as well [23:44] I can't install ubuntu due to it [23:44] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/581144 [23:45] ah okay [23:45] hi. is there a way to convert "diff output text" into "plain text" or "ascii text". i made a "patch" with diff and gedit won't open it because it "can't detect the character encoding" [23:45] In Pidgin, my Googletalk Account is signed, AND I am on my buddy list. Why does my buddy list say that im off line and then place a red X over the grey circle with the words "Not Authorized" underneath? I don't want others to think im offline when I am online [23:45] unomi: Looks like gparted flipped out due to the actual drive [23:45] Flare183, it has bugs with 10.4 mostly because of the way it deals with the hard disks you can read the changes/improvements in the release notes which I've never found important until recently [23:46] Pirate_Hunter: ahh ok [23:46] im trying to get firefox to add vuze as one of the launcher applications for .torrent files when i download them [23:46] can anyone help me? [23:46] flare yes, it can't seem to hand drives with less than 63 heads [23:46] where can I modify the script that ubiquity uses for install? [23:47] Flare183, there is also other reason like some of the partition formats, changes in kernel etc [23:47] Pirate_Hunter: hmm I alright [23:47] it would be nice if they would update the 10.4 images [23:47] 10.04 [23:48] on a machine that I did manage to install it on, I had to dl 250mb of updates right off the bat [23:48] some of them arbitrary execution bugs [23:48] Pirate thanks for the help, not sure if my problem is fixed but it sure isn't acting weird anymore [23:48] you dont need to dl them all [23:48] hi [23:48] Incarnation, firefox has the option to open file with browse to you bin folder and find vuze or type in terminal 'whereis vuze' without quotes and browse to that folder and choose it [23:48] id recommend the security ones though [23:48] !hi | Bishop_ [23:48] Bishop_: Hi!

It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [23:50] linuxnoob, well at least its working even knowing I would feel better if the cause of the problem was known, still its better working than broken and you didn't have to reinstall which recently im more than happy suggesting people to do :'s [23:50] Pirate_Hunter so the file vuze.1.gz is the file I need to point firefox to - but why is it vuze.1.gz, and do all files require a .1.gz extension name to be considered executable, like in Windows? Can you tell me a bit more about the nature of Linux operating systems so that I understand what I'm doing? [23:50] Flare183: wouldn't matter [23:50] its a bug in libparted [23:50] .gz is a gzipped file [23:50] you don't execute them directly [23:51] Incarnation, nope it wouldnt end in .gz that is the wrong file and is probably found in /usr/share/docs/... paste what you get from whereis [23:51] Pirate_Hunter: sorry the file was in usr/bin/vuze - why do files in linux not have extensions? How does the system recognize them as being executable or not? [23:51] Incarnation: magic [23:51] Incarnation: they have the execute bit set [23:51] unomi: I don't believe in magic [23:52] Incarnation, now you got it, eeerh used to know the answer to that question, sorry can't answer you without opening a browser [23:52] but it is [23:52] mime-types [23:52] Compiling: the execute bit? Can you show me how to view it? [23:52] ls -l [23:53] Incarnation: run ls -l [23:53] look on the left side [23:53] Incarnation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_format#Magic_number [23:53] Incarnation, ls -l /usr/bin/vuze it should have something like rwx (read, write, execute) [23:53] Incarnation: you should, its all around you [23:53] If you want to make it executable do chmod +x filename [23:54] hi there [23:54] Incarnation: If I'm not wrong, Linux-compiled programs have execution-indicating info in the very beginning of the file in addition to execution bit. Not sure, but I think that's how it is. [23:55] I wanna know how to make to grub to recognize all my OS installed? [23:55] Compiling, is there any difference from exciting a file using chmod compared to chown? [23:55] I'm just trying to figure out exactly how this system works, it's very complicated === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [23:55] I can't really wrap my head around it [23:55] I mean I could but it would just take a lot of time [23:55] it's called permissions [23:55] Er, I need help with wireless internet on Ubuntu 10.04. I really to re-post this so here's the link to the forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1523503 [23:55] Incarnation, one step at a time even rome wasn't built in one day it takes time [23:55] Pirate_Hunter: CHOWN changes the owner of the file where CHMOD changes the handling permissions (Read, Write, Execute) [23:56] and I'd probably grow really old and nearly dead by the time I'd be finished and the payoff wouldn't be worth it... [23:56] permissions are the number 1 error for linux newbies [23:56] CrimsonIdol: Too right. [23:56] me included! :) [23:56] rautamiekka, you're right that was a stupid question and I should've realised [23:56] which option is the best: POP or IMAP for Gmail in Evolution? [23:57] IMAP. [23:57] Pirate_Hunter: It was too obvious to realize without either asking or reading. I had to read about it back in time. [23:57] Pirate_Hunter: chown changes the file ownership (owner and group ownership) [23:57] erkan^, depends on you most prefer imap because your files still remain on the server [23:57] Pirate_Hunter: chmod changes access permissions for the owner,group,and everyone else that doesnt fit into the first 2 categories [23:58] rautamiekka, Compiling, yeah but the problem I use it often and I forgot that I use numbers for chmod so I have no clue what that question was about [23:58] ok [23:58] not error but cause of frustrations. ;) [23:58] Pirate_Hunter: Don't lose your sleep due to it. [23:58] hello [23:58] Hello. [23:59] !hi | Augustuen [23:59] Pirate_Hunter: you don't have to use the numerical hex assignment [23:59] Augustuen: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[23:59] Augustuen: tell him the price [23:59] yes! [23:59] let him user Win Server [23:59] It's free, and safer to use... [23:59] nah, it wont help, he gets free codes [23:59] rautamiekka, I wont even knowing right now I need sleep but I just can't sleep yet my body tells me I want to sleep its an infinite loop
