[00:00] belkinsa, what's the problem === nertil is now known as donvito2 [00:00] didn't read forum [00:00] Compiling, im more at home using the numbers for permissions hasn't let me down yet === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [00:01] Pirate_Hunter: Whatever works best for you, they all do the same thing [00:02] belkinsa, so the card works in windows but not in 10.04? [00:03] you can do something like: dmesg | grep eth to see if there are any problems. [00:04] CrimsonIdol: Thanks [00:04] Augustuen: Easiest way to find out is to ask him the question "What do you run on the Server ?". If it's databases running SQL or websites running anything else than Micro$oft technologies, he's better off with Linux. Well, then there's the issue commanding the system: everything is designed to be capable of running via commands, altho it's possible with graphical programs if he sets up VNC to the system to command like Window$. [00:04] go back [00:05] Hello from Greece [00:05] he uses them for gameservers, but he is moving over to CentOS now [00:05] Augustuen: And Game Servers are better off on Linux. Source Engine-based ones run more poorly on native Linux binary, but that can be avoided by running the Window$ binary under Wine. === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [00:05] addiakogiannis, hello from UK [00:06] I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu SRCDS, exept from not being able to download, but that was probably the server [00:06] meaning where I downloaded it from [00:06] addiakogiannis, SRCDS? [00:06] Pirate_Hunter: Source Dedicated Server [00:07] SRCDS???? [00:07] rautamiekka, thanks [00:07] addiakogiannis, so what is the problem [00:07] Pirate_Hunter: He wanted to convince someone to switch from Window$ to Linux on Game Servers. [00:08] actually I have one, but right noe just logged in to say hi! [00:08] :) [00:08] I've been playing around with it, and there has been no problem waht so ever [00:08] rautamiekka, wrong person i was asking about addiakogiannis [00:08] Pirate_Hunter: Oops. [00:08] addiakogiannis, ok don't feel shy ask when ever you want [00:09] is CentOS built on Ubuntu? [00:09] anyways, goodnight everyone, and thanks for asking pirate! === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [00:09] bye [00:09] Augustuen: Nope, it's based on RedHat Linux [00:10] no [00:10] * Pirate_Hunter going to try and sleep again [00:11] greetings.. [00:11] well things have improved.. [00:12] I have been able to get ubuntu up and running in console mode [00:12] now having issues with X [00:12] not hard [00:12] tried running Xorg -configure and it failed [00:12] X -configure [00:12] ok [00:12] lets try that thanks Compiling brb [00:12] you shouldn't need to configure X, it should be dynamic [00:12] what do you mean it failed? [00:12] command not found? [00:13] sometimes X doesn't [00:13] does the wubi install support other distros of linux ? [00:13] no [00:13] compiling are there other installers that work the some for other distros ? [00:14] the same* [00:14] not to my knowledge [00:14] there was a project on sf but it died [00:14] poop on a stick [00:14] why [00:14] uh... [00:14] afraid of wrecking the system? [00:14] !language | pondera [00:14] pondera: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:14] wubi means Windows Ubuntu Installer [00:15] Compiling: I ran X -configure, it put out a lot of stuff, like the driver list then at the bottom said: [00:15] yes because right now i have a macbook gen 3.1, with osx, ubuntu, and win7 and it seems that every time i try to install backtrack it messes up the grub [00:15] Number of screens does not match the number of devices [00:15] configuration failed [00:15] ddxSigGiveUp: close log [00:15] what's your system setup like [00:15] Augustuen: as far as I know yes. Wubi is ok for trying (when it works) long run proper partitioned install is better :) [00:15] yeah [00:15] I've never had an success with Wubi [00:16] vm is better [00:16] but I kinda failed, I installed it on a different HDD, and I forgot to boot it XD [00:16] When wubi works, it works slower than a usual installation. [00:16] compiling: yes because right now i have a macbook gen 3.1, with osx, ubuntu, and win7 and it seems that every time i try to install backtrack it messes up the grub [00:16] I'm running ubuntu on VMware, it's better than having to boot into it [00:16] thats because you're reading NTFS [00:16] a virtualized FS inside a file on an NTFS drive [00:16] Augustuen: uhmm sure, but really Windows should be in a vm not the other way round :) [00:16] it will always be slow [00:16] hi, i'm struggling with a .asx streaming i cannot watch in ubuntu, any help? [00:16] http://melpomene.mmedia.upv.es/RETRANS_PR_01.asx [00:17] Augustuen: well I assume your doing it inside WIndows [00:17] The project was http://sourceforge.net/projects/wubix/ [00:17] I play alot of video games, and stuff like that, so I can't really convert intill they make those games for Linux [00:17] yeah [00:17] but it seems to be dead [00:17] Augustuen: you can get a lot of Windows games working well in Wine [00:17] ivangarcia: what is that ? [00:17] compiling could you help with why that would happen [00:18] ikonia, it's a university video streaming [00:18] not really, I've had alot of problems with fonts and speed and stuff [00:18] pondera: there should be an option not to install a bootloader [00:18] Augustuen: also vm software is slowly getting there for proper 3D Windows games support [00:18] humm i see [00:18] ivangarcia: yes, why are you pasting it in a support channel [00:18] pondera: try that then manually add an entry in menu.lst or grub.cfg (whatever you're using) [00:18] I use apps for these games taht require alot of prower itself [00:18] Augustuen: you can also install Windows fonts into Linux distros [00:18] crystaltv: what is your physical setup? [00:18] Augustuen: and into Wine [00:19] compiling where would those files be located ? [00:19] crystaltv: check how many screen sections there are in xorg.conf and compare to your physical setup, modify accordingly [00:19] ivangarcia Hmm I can't stream the video either. I open it in vlc and it connects then stops. [00:19] how can I reinitialize my wireless NIC? When I suspend/hibernate it stops working sometimes. [00:19] yeah, but like my game loaders require alot from the PC when it's on windows, so running it through Wine just makes it unusable [00:19] pondera: which installation did you install grub with? [00:19] Compiling: ok brb [00:19] pondera: that one will have the file [00:19] malvarma, ikonia, any way to find out which packages codecs i need? [00:19] seidos: does it show up in ifconfig? [00:19] Augustuen: ok right, well going a little off topic now, but what do you use the Ubuntu vm for? Of interest [00:20] seidos: if so, with or without an address? [00:20] playing with Ubuntu [00:20] ivangarcia: contact the people who stream it to find out what format [00:20] Is there a graphical tool for git? [00:20] I use it for Server fun [00:20] setting up local webservers and game servers [00:20] how do i make wireless networking start without gdm? [00:20] it's pretty fun [00:20] MysteryX: git-gui ? [00:21] Compiling, it will show up in ifconfig, but it won't connect to the network. If I take the wireless down using ifconfig wlan0 down, when I try to bring it back up I get an error [00:21] Augustuen: Apache and such? Game server what do you use for that? Game servers for what games? [00:21] thanks Compiling [00:21] compiling, heres what i did. i installed osx leopard, install refit, then windows, and then ubuntu [00:21] np [00:21] Apache, yes, and SRCDS [00:21] seidos: can you pastebin the error, thanks [00:21] Augustuen: ok I don't know what SRCDS is [00:21] some game server I guess [00:21] I also use it to test out stuff for my website and my friends server [00:21] compiling, i think grub happend when i put ubuntu on it [00:21] Compiling: I changed the driver from nouveau to nv and ran X and now it shows B/W blocks and is locked up tight [00:21] it's for games like Half Life 2 and Counter-Strike Source [00:22] sebsebseb: Source Dedicated Server [00:22] rautamiekka: Whats that? [00:22] seidos: as a workaround in the past, i have unloaded and reloaded wireless driver to get something of a reset [00:22] pondera: you referenced GRUB earlier. when you get to your GRUB screen, which options do you have? I'm assuming you're only getting grub once you select ubuntu [00:22] not familiar with the Mac boot process, never want to learn it really either [00:22] sebsebseb: You asked what SRCDS is [00:22] anyone know how to setup sendmail? [00:22] rautamiekka: yes I mean whats a Source Dedicated Server, well I could look up [00:22] yeah, I always google it [00:22] compiling, i get grub when i want to go to windows or ubuntu [00:23] pondera: did you install ubuntu from within windows? [00:23] compiling no partition [00:23] Dargon: that's a pretty big topic, what in specific ? [00:23] Dargon: you know postfix/exim are the default mta's in ubuntu ? [00:23] pondera: then you shouldn't get grub when you select windows O_o [00:23] ikonia, i know not much about linux [00:24] Dargon: ok, well ubuntu installex exim or postfix as a default mta, they are much easier to configure [00:24] postifx wasnt installed on the box so i installed sendmail, should i nix it and get postfix? [00:24] Does anyone know a decent server monitoring site with free SMS alerts? no purchasing credits or that stuff. [00:24] compiling i does, i think refit syncs the mbr from the mackbook bootloader and grub [00:25] not familiar with refit personally [00:25] Dargon: it's your call, whatever mta your most comfortable with [00:25] compiling osx is on there 2 but it doest boot [00:25] Does anyone here know anything about the software qemu or aQemu [00:25] Compiling, are errors from ifconfig logged somewhere? [00:25] what does BT do to GRUB? [00:25] ikonia, ive never worked with mail servers n shit in linux [00:25] Dargon: tone your language down please [00:25] seidos: you said it shows errors when you bring it up, those are the ones im after. They're probably also in /var/log/messages [00:25] !postfix | Dargon [00:25] Dargon: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [00:26] compiling after i install it when i load linux or windows grub turns into a commandline terminal [00:26] Dargon: check out that for starters [00:26] I have the xorg.conf but when I try to boot to normal mode the screen goes all b/w blocks and is locked up.. [00:26] pondera: try reconfiguring GRUB [00:27] I have nvidia gt220 pcie card.. is that a problem? [00:27] compiling lol and that where all my computer guruness ability stops [00:27] ikonia, could i possibly PM you [00:27] at the GRUB prompt do [00:27] find /boot/grub/stage1 [00:28] Dargon: if you must [00:28] then it will give you a hd partition [00:28] use that partition [00:28] i tried that and i get something like file not found [00:28] root (hd0) for example [00:28] then [00:28] setup hd(0) [00:29] one sec getting pen and paper lol [00:29] pondera: I have to go but check this out [00:29] pondera: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [00:29] pondera: same idea [00:29] HTH [00:29] Compiling: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:29] ok thanks [00:31] Hi [00:31] Anybody got any idea why /etc/bash.bashrc might not be executed on shell login? The permissions look a little odd to at 644 oh and the OS is actually debian 5.04.

In screensaver preferences, I have "Regard the computer as idle for" set to 2 hours, and I have "Activate screensaver when computer is idle" unchecked. However, the screen is still blanking. Someone here proposed a solution to this a while back, but I had to reinstall today, and have lost that configuration, and don't seem to have [00:38] a record of it.

I just remembered: apt-get remove gnome-screensaver. (Wasn't suggested here, I thought of it later.) [00:41] I think I have it.. I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and it cant find the driver.. I check /usr/lib/dri and it aint there weeee [00:41] now just need to find out what to do from here lol [00:41] Mqueue, why do you need wine to burn a ps2 game?

[00:58] Hello, can anyone tell me if its possible to remove grub and replace it with the prevous (MBR) bootloader? I installed Ubuntu to an external hard drive, but GRUB installed itself to my primary hard drive and now I can't boot into the XP partition that lives on my internal HD [00:58] choomra, yes you can [00:58] !hash [00:58] !hashes [00:58] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [00:58] choomra, boot up to a windows CD, go into a command promot and run fixmbr [00:59] tucemiux: See, that's what I thought. [00:59] I downloaded the nvidia driver for my card, I think, and it failed to load the kernel module.. [01:00] choomra, your will then be able to boot up to windows, remember that you still have ubuntu installed whever you installed it, you can get rid of the partition as you like, it wont affect windows, you can also reinstall ubuntu [01:00] tucemiux: So I popped the CD in, booted from it, it loaded into RAM, but it refused to accept keyboard input... The keyboard works at BIOS, and is given power (tested by toggling Caps lock light), but I can not select anything. [01:00] tucemiux: Your mileage may vary but recordmydesktop normally locks up after I hit CTRL+C to stop it running. [01:00] does the windows dual boot install the kernel sources? I see the headers [01:00] how do i telnet to windows box from ubuntu ? [01:01] hey, is there a way I can see what packages are on a 'specific' repository using apt-get or aptitude?

[01:22] that you all you all same me BIG Sacks [01:23] lilucax: escribe /join #ubuntu-br en esta ventana [01:23] itai: Google kino and avidemux I believe both are viable options. [01:23] eoke, thanks, will do [01:24] !google [01:24] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [01:24] avidemux is in the repos no need to google [01:24] so is kino [01:24] Google-fu has to be practiced and honed. It's not something people are just born with, eoke [01:24] IdleOne, it's cool, i just needed a name [01:24] Hello [01:24] I'm having an issue with Gconf [01:24] what do i type in cli to update all? (rhel=yum update) [01:25] !ask | daskrEEch [01:25] daskrEEch: 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. :-) [01:25] LJRuff: I'm typing give me a moment [01:25] Bishop_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:25] Bishop_, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [01:25] ok thanks [01:25] LJRuff: I've done an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and now Gnome wont start [01:25] it says the Gnome power manager settings could not be configured [01:25] Hi [01:25] I suggested he google it to see what if they have the desired features. I'm sure most people would rather have a google answer than no answer at all. [01:26] daskrEEch, Don't direct comments/questions to me! =P Address the entire room so we can all help you. [01:26] Then evolutiona-alarm hrows and error saying it could not reach GConf for the possible rreason that my TCP/IP settings are not ther or I have a stale NFS lock [01:26] !hi BiggFREE [01:26] LJRuff: I haven't asked you anything :) [01:26] daskrEEch, You're on another machine? [01:26] LJRuff: No same machine [01:27] no GNome != no machine [01:27] Via...? CLI? KDE? [01:27] Though I would like someone to teach me how to Connect to the wireless via Command line [01:27] I thought I had it but I can't get an IP [01:27] !enter [01:27] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:27] CLI [01:27] Thank you slidinghorn [01:28] daskrEEch, please remember Enter != Spacebar [01:28] =D [01:28] Sure [01:28] daskrEEch, to connect to wireless via cli is fairly simple provided you have the firmware required and you are prepared for any security issues, such as WPA and needed supplicants. =) [01:29] LJRuff: I am learning :) [01:29] So I have Gnome not initalizing properly after an update. I get a Desktop Wallpaper and two error messages. If I drop to the command line and try to start something and put it to the X Display Iget a repeated message that Gconf cant be contacted (Or dbus) and to check my TCP/IP settings. What should I be looking for? [01:29] LJRuff: School me :) [01:30] daskrEEch, what are the error messages? (if they'll take more than one line, you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com) [01:30] slidinghorn: how can I pipe them from the GUI to pastebin? [01:30] daskrEEch, command | pastebinit [01:31] ihb [01:31] hi* [01:31] If you don't have pastebinit I think it's apt-get install pastebinit - though you can just search apt-cache search pastebin [01:31] !hi | csmith1994 [01:31] csmith1994: 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! [01:31] need help on a netbook reverting back to windows [01:31] if i choosen (at install time) to only auto-update critical updates, does apt-get commands (update/upgrade) override that setting? (i want to update/upgrade everything, not only security updates) [01:31] csmith1994: pop in the cd and install ##windows for more help [01:32] errr wait [01:32] csmith1994, you're trying to remove ubuntu & just keep windows from a dual boot? try the ##windows channel [01:32] netwbook = no cd [01:32] no im not trying from a dual boot [01:32] Bishop_, good question. To be honest, I do not know - but I suspect it should. =) [01:32] LJRuff: It's the Iwconfig command to connect to the wireless right? [01:32] i wiped out windows, and now i need it back (moms not a big fan of ubuntu [01:32] csmith1994, can you take the hard drive out ? [01:32] no i cant [01:33] csmith1994: ##windows [01:33] they should be able to guide you [01:33] daskrEEch, it depends on what step you're on. You'll need to ifconfig wlan0 up to bring your card online as long as you have firmware, then iwconfig wlan0 essid "network" [01:33] daskrEEch, do you have wep? wpa? no security? [01:33] LJRuff, i'll try soon, and report back. [01:33] evening all [01:33] LJRuff: No security [01:33] IdleOne, i belive there is a LAN option just like in Linux [01:34] itai: I wouldn't know. don't do windows [01:34] daskrEEch, then once you iwconfig wlan0 essid "network name here" run dhcpcd wlan0 [01:34] IdleOne, sorry meant csmith1994 [01:35] LJRuff: run dhcpcd wlan0 is all on the same line with the iwconfig ? [01:35] itai: it is still offtopic for this channel. should move to ##windows if you can help him with it [01:35] daskrEEch, no sir. =) [01:35] slidinghorn: how can I 2>| pastebinit ? [01:35] i'm on my husband's computer, (Ubuntu 10.04) he downloaded the ubuntu 10.04 iso for our new box, how can he check it?~$ md5sum ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso [01:35] md5sum: ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso: No such file or directory [01:35] [01:36] !md5sum | chull [01:36] chull: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:36] chull: "md5sum ubuntu" Don't type the filename manually. [01:36] LJRuff: do I have to install dhcpcd first? [01:36] !tab | chull [01:36] chull: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:36] daskrEEch, if you don't have it, it'd help =D [01:36] ty LJRuff & red2kic [01:37] LJRuff: But then I'd need to connect to the wireless to get it :-P [01:37] daskrEEch, first, you may have to install pastebinit (sudo apt-get install pastebinit) then you just run (command | pastebinit) if it's an actual error dialog box, then you can just type into the paste.ubuntu.com [01:37] chull, always a pleasure [01:37] LJRuff, as you (and I!) thought, the apt-get commands does update/upgrade everything no matter what auto-update settings have been choosen. [01:37] slidinghorn: Umm let me see if I can get epiphany started [01:37] daskrEEch, can you connect to a wired network temorarily to get it? I am not sure how to proceed without it. [01:37] Hey, I've got a fresh Banshee install (Lucid) and the menu bar icon seems to have replaced transparency with a white background. None of my other indicator icons have this problem. [01:38] Bishop_, good to know! Thanks for reporting back!! === booboo is now known as coz_ [01:39] slidinghorn: http://pastebin.com/HpkKJEPR [01:39] LJRuff: Well I would think that since I could connect to it before from the GUI all the tools I'd need would be on the computer now :) [01:39] how come all the ppa's in sources.list are for karmic? [01:40] im running 10.04, and i was wondering, is there anyway i can password encrypt file folders on my drive [01:40] guest2: are you on karmic? [01:40] how can i make a windows liveusb from linux [01:40] weird, i did a fresh 64-bit install of lucid [01:40] gmonnie: gpg [01:40] daskrEEch, my assessment as well - doesn't change the fact that I do not know how to connect via cli w/o dhcpcd. =) [01:41] littlebear: gpg? what is that? [01:41] LJRuff: So dhcpcd is what makes it easy? :) [01:41] first line of /etc/apt/sources.list is "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release amd64 (20080701)]/ hardy main restricted" [01:41] does installing and uninstalling Operating systems like 10 times make the harddrive die? [01:41] daskrEEch, for me! =D [01:41] to get md5sum place iso in home folder > right click on iso image > click properties > at the top copy name of file > open terminal type md5sum paste [01:41] or mess up the computer, i also have to pull the plug in the back each time [01:41] SailorReality: Yes [01:41] shit [01:41] gmonnie: encryption [01:42] Any activity to the hard drive makes the hard drive die [01:42] do you think this is serious tho [01:42] Hello [01:42] littlebear: how do i get gpg? [01:42] hard drives magnetism wears out over time [01:42] gmonnie: TrueCrypt may be an option for you http://www.truecrypt.org/ [01:42] SailorReality: no unless you unplug during the copy or move [01:42] ok [01:42] avi_: i don't know of any way to get rid of the white background unless you switch which icon it displays by going to Edit > Preferences > Extensions and check Application Indicator for Banshee and uncheck Notification Area Icon [01:42] gmonnie: goto terminal and type the following : sudo apt-get install gpg [01:42] can somebody point me to a lucid sources.list (64-bit if it matters)? [01:42] SailorReality: Does it harm it any more than normal activity? No not really [01:42] slidinghorn: any insights? [01:43] avi_: this also changes how the icon responds to clicks. it is completely different, as you will see [01:43] SailorReality: I did crash a harddisk during IO ( input and output) so as long as it isn't doing that then you should be fine [01:43] Does the ATi driver for the 4670 come with 3D support? [01:43] SailorReality: Although if the HDD is used for a very long time there will be fault === scott_ is now known as Guest98236 [01:44] how about unplugging the computer [01:44] littlebear: i did that, and it said it couldnt find package [01:44] without properly restarting it [01:44] Name141: depends on which driver [01:44] i mean from the back [01:44] daskrEEch: I am assuming the one that comes with Ubuntu. [01:44] daskrEEch: I have installed OS many times. I believe. You can use System --> Admin --> Disk Utility and run SMART report on your HDD. [01:44] daskrEEch: From the repos [01:44] bastidrazor: I'm pretty sure it's not an issue with Banshee, rather an issue with Gnome not working with Banshee correctly. I've found some others in the tubes with the same issue, so I'm just following up with them. [01:44] red2kic: assuming you have smartmontools installed [01:45] Name141: There are two in the repos [01:45] gmonnie: sudo apt-update [01:45] daskrEEch: Does either of them support 3D? [01:45] daskrEEch: It is not installed. It's CLI package. Whatever works for you. :) [01:45] Name141: Both support 3D only one with the 4670 [01:46] daskrEEch: OK. Should I even bother trying steam and games ? [01:46] daskrEEch: under wine [01:46] sudo apt-get update [01:46] Name141: Pop into #winehq and ask them [01:46] littlebear: did that came up with command not found [01:46] Name141: with a name like that, would you want to ? [01:47] LJRuff: after you type sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "Name" does iwconfig tell you that you have an AP associated? [01:47] gmonnie: sorry, it's actually sudo apt-get update [01:47] linxeh: ? [01:47] Name141: "steaming pile of..." [01:47] littlebear: Isn't it called gnupg that package? [01:47] linxeh: mkayyy [01:47] Anyone familiar with PS3MediaServer? [01:47] daskrEEch, No [01:47] daskrEEch: Any idea on what "DirectX" it'd support? 9? 10.1? 11? [01:48] SteveThing: #ps3linux [01:48] thanx [01:48] Name141: 11 [01:48] littlebear: ok what was the gpg install command again? [01:48] daskrEEch: I see. My card only support 10.1 though [01:48] supports [01:48] Name141: 10.1 then :-) [01:49] nvm found it [01:49] gmonnie: sudo apt-get install gpg [01:49] gmonnie: there is an easier way of doing via GUI using synaptic [01:49] daskrEEch: I thought about the 5670, since it only draws a little more power. But I guess that'd be more like ##hardware [01:49] littlebear: still says package not found [01:49] Name141: #phoronix [01:50] hey, what can be the cause for many programs segfaulting when i start them? i'm runnig 9.04 64 Bit with 4 GB Ram. [01:50] hi, I was told that I should use something like ssh over ftp or ftps for an ftp server I want to set up, will vsftp allow me to use ftp with encryption? [01:50] gthumb is broken in Ubuntu :( [01:50] gmonnie: ok, goto synaptic and search for encrypt [01:50] slidinghorn: http://pastebin.com/HpkKJEPR if you are still arpund [01:50] gmonnie: I think littlebear might mean "gnupg" rather than "gpg" [01:50] gmonnie: right, I can't exactly remember the package name lol [01:51] Does anyone know how to fix PS3MediaServer showing duplicate folders on my PS3? [01:51] thanks [01:51] gnupg > privacy guard? [01:51] belkinsa: thanks for that [01:51] !ps3 [01:51] Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [01:51] hiexpo: yup, it's used for e-mail encryption, but I use it for file encryption [01:52] ok now that i have it installed how do i use it [01:52] gmonnie: when you need to encrypt, just do gpg -c *filename* [01:52] is there a trick to making my intel 5100agn run at N speeds? [01:52] sudo apt-get instal gnupg [01:52] calum: umm ssh sftp is the only true ftp security really if you want encryption [01:52] gmonnie: and enter a password === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn|Away [01:52] Can someone look at http://pastebin.com/HpkKJEPR and give me some advice on how to fix Gnome [01:52] kitche: really? [01:52] * daskrEEch waves at SlidingHorn|Away [01:53] littlebear: how do i get to gpung? [01:53] kitche:I want to run an ftp server over the internet for my laptop but I was wondering what should I use, ftps or ssh ftp? Is there sftp server software for ubuntu? [01:53] gmonnie: for graphical user interface use synaptic [01:53] calum: sshd is a good idea [01:53] calum sftp is part of ssh [01:53] gmonnie, sudo apt-get install gnupg [01:54] calum: I have sshd set up on my server so you can use ssh to access and sftp to grab files [01:54] Oh yeah, sorry I am getting confused, ssh ftp or ftps? [01:54] calum: sftp = ssh ftp [01:54] i already installed it, just trying to access it [01:54] daskrEEch: You might have some luck renaming ~/.gconfd ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 but you'll loose your customisations. If it doesn't work you can always rename them back. [01:54] calum: I've never heard of ftps though [01:55] ftps is just ftp over tls/ssl [01:55] gmonnie: gpg -c *filename* and type password to encrypt and gpg *filename* to decrypt [01:55] eoke: lets try it with gconf.d first [01:55] ok [01:55] is there a trick to making my intel 5100agn run at N speeds? [01:56] calum it's still ftp [01:56] daskrEEch: Probably just a typo but you're looking for ~/.gconfd no period (dot) [01:56] with sshd, do I need to forward anything other than port 22? [01:56] eoke: Force of habit from init.d etc [01:56] calum: I don't think so [01:56] and sshd will allow me to transfer files to my laptop? [01:57] WarlockLord: does it not do N anyhow? [01:57] calum: sshd is a server, ssh is a client, you can use filezilla (software free) to access and transfer files [01:57] eoke: moving gconfd worked [01:57] thanks [01:58] oh right, so I can log in using ssh, then access files I want with filezilla? [01:58] daskrEEch: No worries daskrEEch sorry you had to loose some of your customisations. [01:58] calum: yes, but you can access and transfer directly through ssh [01:58] ubuntu be [01:58] ubuntu br [01:58] calum: example scp localfile ftp://user:pass@littlebearz.com:remotedir/remotefilename [01:58] brasil [01:58] brasil [01:59] ah good, because I was worried about someone sniffing my password on the internet [01:59] viva o linux [01:59] Does anyone know how to fix PS3MediaServer showing duplicate folders on my PS3? [01:59] calum: lol, ssh is pretty safe in my opnion as long as you use any other port than 22 [01:59] alguem aii e brasileiro [01:59] SteveThing: Try ushare? ;o [01:59] Can't I use port 22 if I have a strong password? [01:59] ubuntu is the easiest distro out here > 3 key things to remember to operating a Linux distro is Stop \ Look | and LISTEN [02:00] i have a question: everytime i double click a mp3 in file browser rhythmbox will open and play the last mp3 played. how can i get it to play in rhythmbox by double clicking it in file browser? [02:00] ubuntu br aIII [02:00] calum: I think nautilus (gnomes file browswer) also supports ssh so if you're using gnome you could just try "sftp://servername/" [02:00] red2kic, I've tried alot of things. I want to stick with one item and learn it... [02:00] sansart13: look into filetype action [02:00] hiexpo: that should be stop look then learn! IMHO [02:01] eoke: but isn't nautilus really horrible? i recall bad experience with it [02:01] 10x Faster than p2p, secure, anon, movies tv music apps all free, http://www.t0rrentday.com now open for registration. [02:01] you cant make anyone learn lol [02:01] SteveThing: Gotcha. I find ushare straightforward and works fine on my Xbox360. Also, PS3 Media Server isn't in the repo. [02:01] I use it to pull back a wordpress back up every so often and it's doesn't give me any huge issues. Your mileage may vary however. :D [02:02] hiexpo: anyone? [02:02] well i'm pretty sure rhythmbox is the default player for mp3s if thats what you ment littlebear [02:02] thanks all, I will look at using ssh. cheers for the help [02:02] only other thing is, when I'm somewhere else on the internet, what IP would I use for NAT? The router's IP? [02:02] sansart13: oh ops lol, sorry I use smplayer to play mp3 :( [02:02] can't teach someone something that does noes not look nor listen [02:03] ahhh [02:03] calum: O.o, you have dynamic ip address? [02:03] yes [02:03] calum: um. dyndns will give you a pretty good home [02:03] calum: as your gateway? [02:03] my router is assigned a dynamic IP every so often [02:04] calum: You'll also need to port forward a port on your router to port 22 on your linux server. [02:04] What is the location of the config files for the main Gnome menu in Ubuntu 10.04? [02:04] but what IP do I enter when I ssh? [02:04] !info noip2 | calum [02:04] calum: get dyndns [02:04] calum: noip2 (source: no-ip): client for dynamic DNS service. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.9-3 (lucid), package size 83 kB, installed size 260 kB [02:05] daskrEEch: Maybe to test things out: I can setup Ubuntu aside from my XP, then run steam under wine without installing it directly on the ubuntu partition, just to see how things would work out? [02:05] calum: instead of ip, you can do something like youruserid.noip.org === molestoso is now known as Farmer [02:05] calum: dynamic dns then [02:05] where is docky's config file? [02:05] TheMusicGuy: # /usr/share/gnome/apps/ [02:05] # /etc/X11/applnk/ [02:05] # /usr/share/applnk/ [02:05] this must be a server day wow [02:05] Appologies that was a paste with crlf in it [02:05] hiexpo: lol, I'm still figuring out my own server trouble lol [02:05] and I configure my router for DYNDNS? [02:05] daskrEEch: Or maybe Wubi? [02:05] calum: no need, it uses port 80 to send data to dyndns or noip [02:06] calum: just enable port 22 needed for your sshd I think [02:06] ftp port 22 does ssh? [02:06] hey guys, I've got a 2005 Dell computer running a Ubuntu variant on an external HD, and the original XP that it shipped with on it's internal HD. I recently installed Ubuntu, and it works great, and GRUB displays on boot and I can boot to it. However, I can *not* boot to Windows XP via that GRUB menu; it says "device not found" and then some seemingly random characters, then on keypress I return to the menu. Any ideas on how I can get GRUB [02:06] to boot into XP AND Ubuntu? [02:06] eoke, I was referring to the per-user config files [02:06] how do i undo /sbin/ifconfig eth0:xxx.xx.xx.xxx [02:07] ftp is port 21, is it not? [02:07] jarHeadless: use sftp, better rsync with ssh [02:07] jarHeadless: yeah, for sftp yeah [02:07] TheMusicGuy: ~/.gnome/apps/ [02:07] grub update [02:07] eoke, .gnome does not exist on my system [02:07] did you mean .gnome2? [02:07] thanks for all your help, I will try using ssh [02:07] hi guys, i need an uploader application like the one in cairo-dock "dnd2share", to put it on my desktop or even in the gnome-panel,.. any suggestion.... dnd2share: (just drug anything and drop it in that applet and it will upload it) and it will know what the type of that file depending on that it will choose the right hosting site [02:08] calum: ftp port 21 for connection and port 22 for data [02:08] right [02:08] TheMusicGuy: In honesty not sure [02:09] cheers people [02:09] calum: example i wrote: http://wiki.littlebearz.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rsync [02:09] is there a channel here for rhythmbox? [02:09] jarHeadless Calum: I think ftp listener is 21 and data is 20 or >1024 and sshd is 22. But I could be wrong. [02:09] DeaD_SouL: Dropbox? [02:10] i installed updates on my wubi 10.04 installation and now ubuntu won't boot. It shows and error message "error: unknown command 'loadfont'" and then restarts. Does anyone know how to fix this? thanks [02:10] Incarnation, why u want rhythmbox? [02:10] eoke: yeah, data is 20 I think [02:10] thanks. anyways I'm off now [02:10] red2kic: anything else? [02:10] cheers [02:10] im trying to figure out how to create a playlist in rhythmbox that lets me play only some of the songs in my collection [02:11] Hello [02:11] nevermind i figured it out [02:11] DeaD_SouL: What is wrong with Dropbox? You *plop* in ~/Dropbox and it'll be uploaded right away. Right-click on the file and copy Public URL. [02:11] How can I find link ty my DropBox public folder ? [02:11] jarHeadless: default port for ftp is 21, 22 for ssh [02:11] its cool, but i'd rather to upload to the free sites, instead of uploading it on my box [02:12] alket: /home/alket/Dropbox/ [02:12] its just for one use then i don't need it [02:12] red2kic: I know that, i actually put some files in there, but I want to show it to my friends [02:12] DeaD_SouL: i'm sure there tons of file sharing website online [02:12] everyone wants to use these fancy smancy guis's audaciousworks just fine formusic [02:12] DasEi: 22 for ssh sure ok [02:12] DeaD_SouL: I understand. Gnome-Do have a plugin that'll allow you upload images no more than 1.5MB -- That's what I know so far. [02:13] besides, drug & drop the file, without any modification to original one, is much better [02:13] I wonder why the Variable that should reside in rodata is in a segment with r-xp instead of in one with r--p which exists also accordigung to proc_maps. You can test it with this program: http://pastie.org/private/t3t7dczdhqhfmtm764e7yq [02:13] jarHeadless: but you can always change it to where you like [02:13] alket: personally I would just upload to a http server and give out http address [02:13] I have compiled it with optimization disabled [02:13] littlebear: I would to, but i dont have one [02:13] DeaD_SouL: Or you can install noip2 (and port forwarding). That way, you plop a file in /var/www and link your friends to http://deadsoul.no-ip.org/ [02:13] Hi folks, I am running a "hello world" server on my pc and trying to connect from remote machines, outside my LAN, just to test on which ports the ISP is blocking me. It doesn't matter on which port I am listening , I do not get any connection. How can they block me on every port? How can my browser be served with web pages if they are blocking me on every port?? [02:13] DasEi: hehe of course [02:13] docky does not start after a reinstall. http://paste.ubuntu.com/458947/ [02:14] i'm already using that plugin "ImageShack", but what about the txt files, rar....etc [02:14] zimbres incoming is different then outgoing [02:14] clo [02:14] Why is my constant number in an executable segment? [02:14] noip2, is that secure? [02:14] How do you get rescue mode? [02:14] alket: feel free to use http://www.littlebearz.com/school/upload/ [02:15] zimbres: you have to be listening on a port in order for you to get a response [02:15] zimbres, most likely you're behind a NAT router and the port you're trying to connect to isn't being forwarded [02:15] Lost password.... [02:15] Help.... [02:15] kitche, That means they check every single tcp header?? bastidrazor [02:15] I cannot figure out how to reset my Gnome menu to defaults. I've tried deleteing ~/.config/menus and that had no effect. [02:15] DeaD_SouL: Sorry I've seen your question halfway through have you considered ubuntu one I believe you can make files public on that too. [02:15] zimbres: that means you need a service listening on a port before you can connect to it [02:15] calum: ftp port 20 for connection and port 21 for data (my mistake) [02:15] terry, lost password [02:15] I also tried the "Revert" button in the menu config dialog. [02:15] It has no effect. [02:16] A lot of icons are missing from my menu (Gimp, Firefox, and others) even though they are installed, and I never manually removed the icons. [02:17] TheMusicGuy: Is System > Preferences > Main Menu > Revert not working for you? [02:17] zimbres, if the situation is Internet --> NAT Router --> you server, then nothing will reach your server unless your router knows where to pass it. Have you verified that that's not the problem? [02:17] NigelS, bastidrazor , I am listening on 7890 on a public IP. The issue is that I do not get connection to the server i am running. Only if I try from a pc in the LAN [02:17] TheMusicGuy, why they gone did u upgrade or something? [02:17] eoke, it is not. [02:17] eoke, its ok :) btw, dropbox and ubuntu one, are just perfect,.. but i want to share it using the free hosting sites, like imageshack for images, eee for txt, like dnd2share, i really liked the idea, and wishing i can find one just like it [02:17] zimbres: have your portforwarded that port on the router? [02:17] hiexpo, I have no idea why they are gone. they just are. [02:18] TheMusicGuy: This may be of interest http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=822007 [02:18] brb === verbrecher is now known as ganove [02:18] bastidrazor, I suppose the problem is not on the router, since i can connect, if the remote machine is in the LAN [02:18] TheMusicGuy, I asked a ? did u upgrade ? === ganove is now known as oberverbrecher [02:19] zimbres, no, if you can connect on the LAN then it's not using the router to route...it's just switching to the relevant connection [02:19] zimbres: being able to connect inside the LAN has nothing to do with the router, correct. BUT in order to connect from outside the LAN the router needs to know where to sends packets from outside to an IP on the inside. [02:19] hiexpo, I did a fresh install, but kept my existing /home partition. [02:19] zimbres, there's a difference between Internet (public address space) -> router -> your private LAN with class C address [02:20] Why the hell do they set channels so that only identified people can chat? [02:20] I dont want to tell my e-mail address to Freenode [02:20] hi === ubuntu is now known as TiK_ [02:20] oberverbrecher: Alot of the time it's to tackle spam [02:21] NigelS, bastidrazor , You mean that the trouble may be on my routing table configuration? [02:21] hiexpo, In other words, I installed over the home partition. that was a while back, though. For some reason, certain icons don't appear in the menus after their associated packages get installed. (Or certain icons don't get removed when they are uninstalled) [02:21] eoke, So how often do you see spam here? I think it is for a simple reason: Everyone is like a Photoshop beginner, all filters available must be applied at least once, and hence they also apply almost all channel modes. [02:21] zimbres: yes, if the router does not have the ports opened then it will drop the packets. [02:21] im having troubles making a bootable UBS drive with startup creator it works (fat32) wth boot flags butupon resetting the computert does not boot. I at aloss [02:21] zimbres, yes; if you haven't told your router to forward traffic to port 80 to the correct LAN IP then it won't know where to send it [02:22] TiK_: it only boots once? [02:22] TheMusicGuy, so you was thinking by doing a fresh install on the same partion would keep everything previously installed? [02:22] yes only boots once [02:22] but now it doesnt boot at all [02:22] oberverbrecher: I believe this channel was getting spammed to oblivion early this week hence them turning it on. [02:22] hiexpo, this has nothing to do with reinstallation [02:22] its a problem with my menus [02:22] Docteh: do you know why [02:23] So I am not allowed to chat thanks to spammers if I do not give my E-Mail address to Freenode. That's the same way the western governments react to terrorism. MORE CONTROL [02:23] any one here know how to install a module for ebox [02:23] hello how to use weechat? when i type "weechat" in the terminal nothin happen [02:23] oberverbrecher: Not topical here. [02:23] even "weechat curses" too [02:23] oberverbrecher: complain in #freenode or #staff .. this channel does not care about your issues with registering [02:23] Docteh: yu there? [02:23] oberverbrecher: Did you have a question or something you need help with? [02:23] oberverbrecher, please. You can use any e-mail address you want, including a throw-away one; plus when you connect to IRC you're doing so from a visible IP Address [02:23] any weechat user here? [02:23] _> hey guys, I've got a 2005 Dell computer running a Ubuntu variant on an external HD, and the original XP that it shipped with on it's internal HD. I recently installed Ubuntu, and it works great, and GRUB displays on boot and I can boot to it. However, I can *not* boot to Windows XP via that GRUB menu; it says "device not found" and then some seemingly random characters, then on keypress I return to the menu. Any ideas on how I can get G [02:24] RUB to boot into XP AND Ubuntu? [02:24] sec [02:24] Docteh: thanks [02:24] ok i have a question. i have a macbook 3.1, currently the setup is partition 1 EFI, p2 mac osx, p3 win 7, p4 linux swap, p5 ubuntu. i want to install another distro of linux backtrack but when i install it it messes up grub and i can boot win7ubuntu or backtrack so i started over. i want to install backtrack without the grub option and manually add it to my current grub list. how would i go about doing that ? [02:24] eoke, Yes, but here people cannot help. I want to know why my constant variable is put in code segment and not in rodata even though rodata exists according to proc_map [02:24] cant* [02:24] any one here know how to install a modual on ebox [02:24] NigelS, Are we clear that I do not have a LAN myself? I am direct with the ISP, the only possibility is that they are blocking it. [02:24] TiK_: are you booting windows with the drive plugged in? I can't see what would change the bootable flag [02:25] so I went to gcc but these idiots have "registered chatters only (fingerprint not yet required)" [02:25] I ue gparted [02:25] use [02:25] brb [02:25] doc: I frmatd into fat32 and ran th startup creator on a clean drive [02:25] NigelS, Thats what I conclude ... [02:25] Doc: I dont have an OS insall I am booting off a livecd [02:26] zimbres, you're not being very clear - earlier you mentioned being able to connect from within a LAN but now you imply you don't have one? [02:26] it needs to boot off UBS to insall because i get sr0 errors [02:26] Hi, how do I know if my wifi usb adaptor is supported? How do I know the chipset it has? any command? [02:26] Hello, Everyone [02:26] sr0 is the optical or? [02:26] yes [02:26] sda1 is the hard drive [02:27] I am having problems with network manager showing as disconnected [02:27] Docteh: that normally is your CD or DVD drive [02:27] do: i cant install from a cd so I need to boot with this USB drive like I did last time [02:27] When you get what sd and sr means, you can remember it more easily, maybe [02:27] even when the network connection is up [02:27] but it only booted once and now it's not boting [02:27] NigelS, I have tested the server on the University i study. Now I am at home, sorry for not being clear .. [02:27] ok i have a question. i have a macbook 3.1, currently the setup is partition 1 EFI, p2 mac osx, p3 win 7, p4 linux swap, p5 ubuntu. i want to install another distro of linux backtrack but when i install it it messes up grub and i cant boot win7 ubuntu or backtrack so i started over. i want to install backtrack without the grub option and manually add it to my current grub list. how would i go about doing that ? [02:27] I tried moving ~/.local/share/applications to a different location and then signing out and back in. [02:27] that seems like it helped. [02:28] I have my Gimp and Firefox icons back [02:28] najunaju, well if you do some research on your wifi card model # and version you can find your chip set [02:28] ive never instaled backtrack cant help you [02:28] !backtrack [02:28] 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) [02:28] zimbres, ah, so you don't control the network you're trying to connect to? Then it's quite possible that they are blocking certain ports or port ranges yeah :S but that's quite normal really [02:28] Doc: abot the boting once.. what infomation doyou have on that [02:28] it seems too new hiexpo, I cant find any info about it [02:28] TiK_: maybe the issue thats giving you sr0 errors is effecting the usb :-/ I'd run memtest on that computer [02:28] Hi [02:29] Hi [02:29] I need help installing a functional flash player [02:29] tik_ the real issue is just how do i add a OS to the bootloader ubuntu installed [02:29] !hi | sad mnmxse [02:29] is there any command to know wich chipset a wifi usb has inside? hiexpo [02:29] sad mnmxse: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:29] najunaju, what is the wifi card model and version number? [02:29] TiK_: windows 7 screws with marking of partitions is all I got on that. maybe use different file system on the usb like ext2 or 4? [02:29] NigelS, Yes, I do not control it. They are blocking me on every single port. [02:29] Doc: it wa ext4 [02:30] was [02:30] it still doesnt boot [02:30] najunaju, no [02:30] NigelS, For for incoming traffic. [02:30] system creator makes it fat32 i think [02:30] pondera: two ways : either stop bt install at grub, or put the bt repos in the coreesponding ubuntu-distro, no BT-support here [02:30] pondera: have a look at unetbootin [02:31] il format to ext4 and try again [02:31] I am having a hard time with network manager...can anyone help? [02:31] #backtrack-linux [02:31] dasei i tried installing that in ubuntu but it coulding unpack the .bin file [02:31] TiK_: I've got zero experience with system creator, :-/ [02:31] installingbacktrack repos will create a train wreck [02:31] Nighty night e1 [02:32] its a EW300NUSB hiexpo http://www.ecomspain.com/index.php/ADAPTADORES/ew300nusb.html [02:32] pondera: let's met in #backtrack-linux ? [02:32] ok [02:32] najunaju, what brand is that ? [02:33] it identifies just by Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1b75:2770 with lsusb [02:33] hiexpo: new to me too [02:34] when trying to add songs to my ipod in rhythmbox on 10.04 it says that "filesystem is read only". does anyone have a solution to this? [02:35] farlig: mount it in fstab with umask=0 [02:35] najunaju, 1 sec [02:35] I should let some botnets flood the nickserv with registration request. Then they maybe disable it and channels have to remove this stupid mode. How do you know wether freenode respects your privacy? What data other than your e-mail address and password do they store? How do they protect your information? People can steal your identity which usually is bound to email address by sniffing nickserv password. [02:35] littlebear, how exactly does the cli command look like? [02:36] farlig: http://wiki.littlebearz.com search for fstab [02:36] So, I found my OpenOffice.Org 3.2, which I got from the Software Center, interacting with the Ubuntu 10.04 system very badly. It doesn't have the well-known system 'Serif', 'Sans', and other fonts listed in the dropdown. It pastes text from the buffer into the documents when I middle click, but is unable to add it to buffer when I select something in an OOo document. Do you have an idea for a fix? [02:36] pondera: due to setup, had to pm you [02:37] Also it is bullshit to say that identifying to nickserv prevents spam. It is very easy to automize the nickserv registration process if you wanted to do serious spamming. [02:37] !ops oberverbrecher [02:38] oberverbrecher: it's not like we use the same password for freenode and email lol [02:38] littlebear, When you chat here while being identified it is usally safe to assume that it must be the owner of the e-mail address [02:39] so when someone chats using your nickserv identity it can be assumed it is you [02:39] oberverbrecher: hm.. really? [02:39] Your nickserv identity is bound to your e-mail address and to your e-mail address is bound your real identity. [02:40] nickserv idenity <-> real identity [02:40] thanks to paranoia [02:40] oberverbrecher: Please keep it topical. :-) [02:41] I wish but it is impossible because in #freenode they have quieted me for just asking to remove that identified-people-can-only-chat mode network wide, calling me troll [02:41] !troll | oberverbrecher [02:41] oberverbrecher: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [02:41] ah.. I want my domain as my mask [02:42] littlebear, i don't understand what to do with fstab. i'm a newb on linux would you like to point out the process for me? [02:42] bastidrazor, so you have just been trolling? because what of these things that mean trolling did occur in #freenode? [02:42] oberverbrecher: Voice status in other channels doesn't change the purpose of this channel. If you'd like to remain here, please keep to topic. :-) [02:42] farlig: when you mount, you can mount from fstab [02:43] oberverbrecher: this is not #freenode. it is #ubuntu and you crying about not wanting to register has nothing to do with ubuntu support or the /topic here. [02:43] farlig: so sudo mount -a will mount automatically in /etc/fstab [02:44] oberverbrecher: feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic as well [02:45] so.. i should unmount my ipod first. and then write "mount -a /dev/XXX/"? and then what? [02:46] littlebear: so.. i should unmount my ipod first. and then write "mount -a /dev/XXX/"? and then what? [02:46] i need some sever help any one here know how to use ebox [02:47] farlig: wait, if you already mount it then just change chmod and chown [02:47] hopeless8009: what is this ebox? [02:47] hiexpo: errm, fine, I can't send to bt, so goto answer here or in pm, sry for that [02:47] im colouring my terminal prompt, one for root, one for normal... it works... but when i run sudo -s it is the normal users prompt? why? [02:47] i am using ebox hopeless whats up [02:47] hopeless8009: Ask a question and anyone that can help will I'm sure. [02:47] littlebear, it is mounted. how do i change what you said? [02:47] farlig: sudo chmod 777 /foldertoipod/* [02:48] Using gnome-config-manager to play around with the values of sleep/hibernate ...will that disable suspend/hibernate all together? [02:48] im trying to disable it since it doesnt work and causes errors on mine [02:48] can someone tell me how to install a module onto ebox. that is a web based server admin program [02:48] farlig: this allow temporarily to allow anyone on that computer to change, modify, delete, * in that folder [02:48] DasEi, no prob [02:49] hopeless8009, check pm [02:49] slinker1, what is that [02:49] littlebear, is 777 the right chmod? it doesn't work to write to it, and in the terminal it says that it changed it to "read only" [02:49] DasEi, i operate them all backtrack pentoo ubuntu i know what works sorry [02:50] farlig: O.o, I thought it's 777, or was it 644, let me check [02:50] farlig, 777 changes perms to read, write, and execute. [02:50] farlig: yup, it's 777 [02:51] littlebear: oh. it says that the file system is read only [02:51] hopeless8009: Should be listening on https://hostname/ebox but slinker1 may have already mentioned that. [02:51] when i try to change it [02:51] anyone know a way to disable suspend/hibernate all together? [02:51] farlig, Are you root? [02:51] yeah [02:51] SailorReality, don't use it?

[02:52] farlig: um. i'm not too sure as I set mine with chown, chmod and /etc/fstab [02:53] LJRuff: that might work guess ill just set it to never [02:53] SailorReality: This might be of interest even though it's for an old version of Ubuntu https://jeremy.visser.name/2007/02/08/how-to-disable-suspend-and-hibernate-for-all-users-in-ubuntu/ [02:53] littlebear, chown only works if he's the owner of the fs or is root over said fs.

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:59] farlig: I'm not at home atm, sorry, can't get to it lol [02:59] So, I found my OpenOffice.Org 3.2, which I got from the Software Center, interacting with the Ubuntu 10.04 system very badly. It doesn't have the well-known system 'Serif', 'Sans', and other fonts listed in the dropdown. [02:59] farlig, the line should be like /dev/fd1 auto defaults 0 0 [02:59] It pastes text from the buffer into the documents when I middle click, but is unable to add it to buffer when I select something in an OOo document. Do you have an idea for a fix? [03:00] LJRuff: and that will make it writeable? [03:00] farlig, let me check mine. one moment...

[03:03] LJRuff: dont see anything with just /var so i think that means its part of / [03:03] statim, yep! Fire up fdisk or gparted, shrink some space and make a new part for your temp fs. [03:04] LJRuff: i don't get any error msg in rhythmbox when dragging files to the ipod anymore, but still there are no new files showing up in the ipod. seems like nothings happening. do you know what could be the problem [03:04] LJRuff: ah ok, i think ill just make the necessary perms to a directory in /var/run then. i didnt know it involved that [03:05] farlig, eject the iPod via Ubuntu to write data to it. [03:05] Anyone know how to trace/fix errors from scons please ? [03:07] DasEi: I was looking, it doesn't support select/middleclick copypaste style at all. [03:07] it = abiword [03:09] gryllida: but copy n paste will work, as said, I use other apps, and you can configure shortcuts there [03:10] DasEi: this is unusual copy / paste, which is absent in Windows, which is 'selct text block top copy, middle click to paste', not same as ctrl + c / v, works even in Terminal, only pastes in open office, doesn't work in abiword at all. [03:12] i need to edit pdf files. openoffice is not good even with the pdf viewer. document viewer is just a viewer i need a pdf editer that can save in other formats like .doc etc [03:13] meowbuntu: good question [03:13] Hello everyone [03:13] gryllida: both, rightclick or the the buttons on top do it [03:13] meowbuntu: hey, lol, you're right, let me search it up [03:13] meowbuntu: most times I just C+P [03:13] Just got an Ion Breeze w/10.04 on it but it's DOA. Is there chat room that discusses this thing? [03:14] ya its a good question sux though. with all the awsomessness of openoffice it opens .pdf in the drawing part. not the writer. a big disapointment [03:14] Doesn't even boot. [03:15] meowbuntu: did you try pdfedit? [03:15] LJRuff: i think it might be a problem with my ipod since it is formatted on a mac. do you recognize that problem? [03:15] DasEi: this is _usual_ copypaste, ofc it works. I want the mouse copy/pasting work in the word processor. [03:16] it currently works in emacs, Terminal, Firefox, ..... [03:16] farlig, No, I do not. However, it should not be an issue. Macs now use OSx, which is related to Linux via the Unix tree. Furthermore, iPods run FAT, if I recall correctly, which is compatible with Linux. [03:16] but only 50% in OOo and 0% in Abiword. [03:16] farlig, Unplug your iPod and close rhythmbox, then plug your iPod back in. Do you see it on the Desktop? [03:17] yes i do [03:17] this does not work howeever [03:17] Anyone help please ? [03:17] farlig, right click and format it. [03:17] !ask | helltraum [03:17] helltraum: 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. :-) [03:17] ya its a good question sux though. with all the awsomessness of openoffice it opens .pdf in the drawing part. not the writer. a big disapointment [03:17] helltraum, Repeat your question? [03:17] LJRuff: will that not erase the firmware and stuff? [03:18] thanks littlebear pdf edit looks ok [03:18] farlig, I used to run it on mine with no ill effects. [03:18] Trying to build something with scons ... [03:18] DasEi: which is very annoying, I use it a lot in emacs, and often hit middle click in the word processor, and then have about a minute of yelling at it that it doesn't work, really need a fix, a week of yelling made me tired. [03:18] getting a missing pulse/gccmacro.h [03:19] helltraum, sorry, can't offer any help. I have no experience with that. [03:19] Ok .. thanks anyway [03:19] helltraum, try #linux in the meantime [03:19] Ok .. thanks ... [03:20] My Ion Breeze(used) arrived DOA. Anybody know a group to help troubleshoot? [03:20] hi guys, is there a way to pause all php processes running? [03:21] littlebear: again pdfedit looks more like a drawing application i want an application like adobe reader that is more a txt file program not a drawing appication ok [03:23] littlebear: yes pdfedit is to muh like a drawing application not a pdf txt editor [03:23] meowbuntu, My understanding is that a .pdf is a picture. The actual characters are no longer stored. [03:24] meowbuntu, It is a normal text file with mark up until you save it as a pdf. Then it becomes a picture. That's why gimp can open .pdf [03:24] meowbuntu: if you have a google account you can use google docs to transform your pdf or images into an editable file [03:26] hi, is there a way to pause all php processes running at a given time? [03:26] boxbeatsy, You can kill them and restart them. I'm not aware of a way to pause any program without a debugger. [03:27] pdf = http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:PDF+&sa=X&ei=avEvTMGpBoH98Aa7t9XJCw&ved=0CBIQkAE [03:27] edbian: blah, i can't kill it. i need to pause all the running php processes so that i can change out a file syncrhonously [03:28] edbian, PDFs are not pictures; not in the sense of an image format [03:28] boxbeatsy, No idea. [03:28] NigelS, Can you explain what they are? [03:28] edbian: np ill keep looking [03:30] NigelS, wikipedia says that it is a fixed layout 2D document with text, fonts, images, and vector images. Obviously it's different than a word document because the text characters are not easily accessible. [03:30] portable document file [03:31] o hmm..i found kill -STOP PID which supposedly pauses a process, but do you think if a php thread is waiting for a response from curl, and then i pause it before it comes back, what will happen? [03:31] edbian, sure, none of which makes it a picture - and the text is readily available; just open a pdf with "less" for example [03:31] NigelS, I'm reading more and it basically sounds like what a word document would be if it were object oriented design. [03:31] can be a text or pic [03:31] But it is difficult to change the text. [03:31] edbian, it describes "images" using a variant of postscript - specifying vectors [03:32] edbian, not enormously - it's just not something that we've had on linux yet sadly - inkscape can do it I gather [03:32] NigelS, Yeah, I understand that images can be in a .pdf [03:32] and I know what a vector image [03:32] is [03:33] sounds like an electron can be a particle or a wave [03:34] a pdf is = Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system.Adobe Systems Incorporated [03:34] Nobody created three-dimensional documents yet? [03:34] hiexpo, Thanks for copy and pasting the first line of wikipedia that I already read. [03:34] ok [03:35] red2kic, there is a 3D support from adobe and others [03:35] ok all these applications for pdf viewer/editors are actually more drawing editops. not like ms word. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/open-source-linux-pdf-writer.html [03:35] is there nothing like adobe reader/writer that can read or just convert .pdf to .doc etc [03:36] I just installed ubuntu 10.4 and its swweeet. Do I still need a firewall like firestarter( my router gives me stealth as per grc.com) thanks [03:36] meowbuntu: How about Google Docs? :o [03:36] meowbuntu: I don't know but it's something you should try. [03:36] red: i forgot about that thanks i do use google from time to time [03:36] what's the proper channel to ask about packages from the canonical DX team PPA? [03:37] but actually i think a pdf is an image file because it is no longer a text file becomes a picture [03:38] hiexpo, it isn't an image [03:38] help! does unix style copy paste work in OOo for you, like middle click to paste, select to copy, it won't work here, how do I turn it on? [03:38] OOo doesn't have 'serif' and other system fonts listed in the dropdown [03:39] looks like it lacks integration with the system [03:39] gryllida: Ctrl + C / Ctrl + P works fine. [03:40] red2kic: I want the mouse (middleclicky) paste to work, use it a lot in emacs, terminal, firefox, ... want to turn it on in the word processor as well, very annoying when I middle click, find it fail, look around, and find out that this is because it's OOo [03:40] middle click paste into open office word works here === K4k_ is now known as K4k_mobile [03:41] red2kic: it pastes from other apps to OOo, but no copying from OOo to anywhere, nomatter what block of text I select in OOo [03:41] gryllida: The behavior occurs same here. [03:41] gryllida, ok let me try that hold on [03:41] gryllida, well it works with gedit let try terminal hold on [03:42] gryllida, nope it works in terminal as well [03:42] red2kic, oh, please look into your fonts dropdown, are 'serif' and 'monospace' and other system fonts listed? [03:42] meowbuntu, I don't know whether it was mentioned above, but inkscape can import and export PDF files now; it's not perfect but you can edit text using it - though the font might not be preserved [03:42] coz_: it works for me everywhere, but not when trying to copy from OOo to anywhere, via selecting some block of text [03:43] coz_: terminal,gedit, firefox are ok [03:43] gryllida: They are not listed. [03:43] gryllida, well here highlihgint in office it middle click pastes everywhere [03:43] for me [03:43] red2kic: listed where? [03:43] coz_: great it works for you, I'm on ubuntu 10.04, OOo 3.2, what other info can I give you to troubleshoot me? [03:44] gryllida: On the toolbar -- but you can type in "Monospace" and it'll change. [03:44] red2kic: see, it works for coz_ though [03:44] gryllida, let me try on maverick I dont run lucid hold on [03:44] gryllida: Oh that works here. [03:45] gryllida: I could sworn it didn't work -- but yeah, highlighting (and no CTRL+C) register it and bought it to geany. [03:45] NigelS: inkskape is a drawing appliction is it not [03:46] red2kic, coz_, troubleshoot me, what info should I give you, how do I make it work here... [03:46] gryllida, hold on let me try on maverick [03:46] ok [03:46] gryllida: I don't know. :| Try reinstall the package? [03:46] meowbuntu, it's a vector drawing application yes; it will import text as text and any vector images it will try to import accurately [03:46] I did. Both repo and OOo from their website have this behavior. [03:47] gryllida, ok it works on maverick fine both to and from open office [03:47] gryllida, you say some fonts are not showing up in office? [03:47] coz_: yes, I don't see 'serif' in fonts dropdown, have to type it in manually [03:48] gryllida, ok run sudo fc-cache -fv [03:48] Hmmmmmm. [03:48] gryllida, reopen office and see if they sh ow up then [03:48] What does it do? [03:48] gryllida, that regenerates the font cache [03:49] -f is forced, -v is version? or verbose? [03:49] gryllida, as far as the middle click highlight paste issue I am not sure about why that is NOT working there... it should work systemically [03:49] Ok, any suggestion for middle clicking paste? [03:49] oh [03:49] where do i set an environment variable to be used in a init.d script? i tried .bashrc in ~root and in ~hudson (user that the service is run as) [03:49] Please, Id like some help to have login in task bar. like this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu/ [03:49] I have shutdown icon, but theres no login name anymore [03:50] coz_: the main is the copying issue, I will try your line about fonts, but pasting is first priority [03:50] what to do to restore this like original installation? [03:50] In 10.04 [03:50] gryllida, first thing I would do is run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see if anything needs to be upgraded [03:51] gryllida, understood...that would certainly be a concern for me.. and I would assume for me that either I didnt something to the system or something is severly broken [03:51] !panels | S4nD3r [03:51] S4nD3r: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:51] gryllida, is this an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 or a clean install of lucid?? [03:51] I did that [03:51] how can i request lots of CDs ? [03:52] gryllida: isn't middle click paste just a highlight then middle click somewhere else? [03:52] ive emailed to info@shipit.ubuntu.com, but still no respons [03:52] bastidrazor, yeah but for gryllida apparenlty this is broken with highlight from open office to somewhere else [03:52] coz_: *broken with Open Office (works fine elsewhere) and I did run the updates recently, so don't know what to do next [03:52] gryllida, did you run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:52] bastidrazor: it is. it works everyhwer but openoffice [03:53] piju: that will take some time, and lots of.. will have to copy yourself I think [03:53] coz_: ah, no idea what/why OO would do that. [03:53] gryllida, ok is this an upgraded system or a clean installed one? [03:53] coz_: after OS install ation, I ran update manager, had a kernel update, think this line is included in what it did. [03:54] When will xfce be updated in repos for 10.04 to 4.6.2 ( was released in May) [03:54] gryllida, ok but apt-get dist-upgrade is different than update [03:54] coz_: new install of Lucid [03:54] gryllida, mmm then I am definitly confused about the open officie issie it works fine on both karmic and maverick unless this is specific to lucid [03:55] gryllida, which wouldnt surprise me [03:55] I did that, theres shutdown icon, but no login name anymore. like was in default instalation [03:55] !info xfce4 maverick | Volkodav [03:55] Volkodav: xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.6.2 (maverick), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB [03:56] coz_: does dist-upgrate take long or need a reboot? [03:56] This command line made this wrong: aptitude purge indicator-me indicator-messages gwibber [03:56] How to revert this one [03:56] gryllida: openoffice word processor or ? it is working for me in the word processor.. from elsewhere TO OO [03:56] red2kic: I asked about 10.04 [03:57] gryllida, generally neither unless it is installing a new kernel [03:57] Volkodav: Use Xfce4 PPA if it's available. Try asking in #xubuntu too [03:57] Volkodav: Also... [03:57] !latest | Volkodav [03:57] Volkodav: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [03:57] S4nD3r: indicator-me is the package for the part you want, you'll need to reinstall that if you want it back [03:57] Hey all how do I install wxPython in Ubuntu, more precisely what are the name of the packages that I should install ? [03:57] Volkodav, https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ppa [03:59] Thanks coz_ and red2kic - this release was a bug fix so i figured it should get in [03:59] coz_: should I close OOo before running your line? [03:59] Black_Phantom: python-wxgtk2.6 ? [03:59] Black_Phantom: "aptitude search python-wxgtk" [03:59] red2kic, thanks i found it ) [03:59] gryllida, well not necessary at all unless of course there is an open office update which you would then have to restart it anyway [03:59] :)* [04:00] so [04:00] nothing [04:00] I have the icon [04:00] but no login name anymore [04:00] S4nD3r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:01] S4nD3r: To revert back -- "aptitude install indicator-me indicator-messages gwibber" then... [04:01] !resetpanels | S4nD3r [04:01] S4nD3r: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » === kaiser is now known as Guest1465 [04:01] S4nD3r: you don't need to reset the panel, you just need to log out and in again to restart indicator-applet-session [04:01] I guess this is a kernel update, coz_? Get:1 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic 2.6.32-23.37 [31.5MB] [04:02] gryllida: yes [04:02] I will logout to try it [04:02] thanks for while [04:02] IdleOne: ok.... [04:03] This is 10.04, how often are kernel updates happening? [04:05] gryllida: Kernels are pretty awesome. http://www.kernel.org/ [04:05] what's the proper channel to ask about packages from the canonical DX team PPA? [04:06] philsf: The proper channel is on Launchpad (Questions) under that canonical DX team PPA. -- My best bet. [04:06] where do I put kernel boot parameters in 10.04? [04:07] cwheeler: /etc/default/grub [04:07] huh.. in and out [04:08] cwheeler: bastidrazor said in /etc/default/grub.... and also, don't forget to run "update-grub" afterward. [04:08] thanks red2kic , my client crashed [04:09] does anybody know what clojure.lang.RT is? [04:10] HEY ALL [04:10] opps [04:10] So, I have a grub2 question [04:10] ubuntu: Ask away or we will never know your question. [04:11] I installed ubuntu onto a 40 gig drive, 3 partitions (/, /boot and swap) then a while later I got a bigger drive. So I partitioned that up, and copied the install across and I was wondering how to write the MBR [04:11] where are the docs on the format of /etc/default/grub [04:11] ? [04:11] I was following a how to, but it seems ubuntu uses grub2 ratehr then the howtos's grub [04:12] red, give us a chance will ya ;) [04:12] grub-install would be my guess [04:12] !grub2 | cwheeler [04:12] cwheeler: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:12] cwheeler: grub-install. Yes. [04:13] thanks red2kic [04:13] Err, I That was for ubuntu.

[05:04] i played this openarena game on windows and it had bots but this ubuntu version doesnt have them and i'm wondering why [05:04] from my understanding I'm missing 23GB... [05:04] node357, but you said you were having trouble with your track pad. [05:04] there's 8 bits in a byte.. so anything else is absurd! [05:04] no i didn't EdiblePlastique_ [05:04] oh [05:04] wrong eprson [05:05] thanks though [05:05] guest2, not too slow. [05:05] but far from real-time? [05:05] the single player in this game can't be played beacuse the opponents don't appear [05:05] it starts resizing 500+ milliseconds after i drag [05:05] acovrig, Download touchpad from the software centre [05:05] does anybody know how to get clojure classloaders to work with java webstart? [05:05] mudgen, #clojure [05:05] oh sorry [05:06] I'm just tryign to figure out where the 60GB I resized my parition went.. [05:06] guest2, not really. I mean, it's fast enough. [05:06] doesn't show up in gparted.. [05:06] lies. [05:06] gOLDfeesh: thats right, for instance my 1TB drive shows 932GB [05:06] so nobody has any idea why this non working game is in the software list [05:06] gOLDfeesh: so im "missing" 68GB [05:06] EdiblePlastique_: why else is it disabled by default even on "extra" visual effects [05:07] guest2, I have no idea. [05:07] because it's slow. [05:07] sweetpi, you my friend are a life save. I thank you for this :) [05:07] must be [05:07] SwedeMike but what about the 60GB that I resized it with.. [05:07] * guest2 hands EdiblePlastique_ an opengl book and the source code [05:07] sorry SwedeMike meant sweetpi [05:08] * EdiblePlastique_ gulps [05:08] hey guys, anyone have problems with belkin wireless routers continually dropping the connection??? it's driving me nuts [05:08] sweetpi like.. I resized it but i'm guessing because when i deleted the recovery from Windows it added the unallocated 60GB back to Windows perhaps? [05:08] Hola [05:09] anybody know why single player in openarena has no opponents? [05:09] gOLDfeesh: yes perhaps, does gparted show unallocated space? [05:09] What is the equivalent of Gnome's "gconf-editor" in an LXDE environment? [05:09] Guitarzan: apt-get install gconf-editor [05:10] i'm sure gnome applications still use it under the hood [05:10] or just ignore my question, that's cool [05:10] sweetpi the only unallocated space is umm... 1MiB [05:10] Not for the system clock, which is what I'm trying to edit. I tried that already. Thanks though. First person to bother answering +100 bonus points to team guest2 [05:11] node357 why not check out #openarena [05:11] gOLDfeesh: then yes, it the resize added the space to the other partition [05:11] okay thanks gOLDfeesh [05:11] node357 not a prob.

[05:14] Hi everyone, I've installed the NVidia propietary drivers using the Restricted Drivers tool, but now my system boots with a very low resolution and Gnome won't come up in a usable state.

[05:16] node357: maybe because you don't state the problem [05:16] I have to use virtual consoles to get to a command prompt [05:16] Right now I'm using my Live CD to get here.

The boot seems to mostly work, the new drive gets mounted in the right place, but the login gui never comes up. I can ctrl-alt-f1 to a new console and log in as a user, but I cannot sudo - the error says that I am unable to read the sudoers file.

I am running ubuntu live desktop, maybe the probelm could be ownership? [05:29] sweetpi: yes, ThinkFinger, f_print demo, libpam and....does'y work for me [05:29] http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp [05:29] displays the notifications in the top right corner? like when networks are detected [05:29] Ayatana [05:30] Guest2: dont give wrong advice [05:30] ubuntu yes that could be the problem [05:30] what? i'm using it..

[05:34] guest2 i thought ubunbtu had a sun java package already [05:34] Uboy: (warning: i know nothing about fingerprint readers) what errors do you get with the instructions from thinkfinger? [05:34] yeah... growl on mac [05:34] clammitt: but that's openjdk?

[05:35] sweetpi: usb device not found [05:35] hi all! what do you think is the best console font? [05:35] !kernel-source [05:35] To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [05:35] guest2, enable the partner repo [05:35] winston84: Monospace? [05:36] bazhang: it's okay.. I downloaded the extractor from the java website then created a symbolic link to it under /usr/bin/java .. [05:36] dunno :) [05:36] Uboy: after what part of the instructions(i.e. what command did you run?) maybe you could pastebin your exact steps [05:36] i just wanna keep up on latest big changes to ubuntu where would i go for that? not small things like replacing aptitude with apt-get etc.. im a little saddened that one podcast seems to have disappeared :( [05:36] sweetpi: but in "lsusb" command output I can see the name UPEK in first line http://pastebin.com/JuNZJWFS [05:37] clammitt: create.. don't consume [05:37] guest2: and that means what? [05:37] !source-packages [05:38] clammitt, check the development roadmap? read the new ubuntu manual, you can subscribe to the main developers podcasts as well [05:38] sweetpi: after this command: sudo tf-tool --acquire [05:38] !manual | clammitt [05:38] clammitt: 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/ [05:38] How do I update Abobe Flash player? Do I need to add a repo to Software Center for that?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[05:40] oops, off-topic === h is now known as Guest83228 [05:40] iflema: thanks.. though my experience with lists is that they get cluttered quite fast.. i will look at all of those though [05:40] Ok [05:40] Shohs: if you are in sudoers ("admin") group, then whenever you install something, you're prompted for password. [05:41] Well, I will try to use sudo and it asks me pass if i try to enter pass it wont show anything. [05:41] Shons: so that if a virus is trying (which is rare on linux) to run / put itself into a system dir, you will get a prompt, "enter password for app so-and-so", which can be bypassed only by you entering the password which you wouldn't do until you know the app. [05:42] clammitt rss feed http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/feed [05:42] Shons; to run apps as root, use sudo, or gksu, if the're graphical [05:42] what's stopping an app from immitating gksudo? [05:42] iflema: excellent thanks [05:43] oh, the background dims.. i guess user-mode apps can't do that [05:44] cwheeler: its me "ubuntu", but on a different puter. I gave my root user a password using a live cd, then booted my broken install. Looks like "/" is not owned by root, its owned by a user! Opps. [05:44] Aww, I want to put pass in Sudo but its not working. [05:44] longgehao [05:44] are you ready [05:45] that will be a problem ubuntu [05:45] cwheeler: now a "ls -ld /" gives me "drwx------ 26 root root 2010-07-04 14:36 /" - [05:45] http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ clammitt there are links here to latest podcasts [05:46] Updated kernel to something-23, now am getting GRUB error "unknown controller version (2)" on every boot. It boots normally, works, but is there anything I should do about it? [05:46] Since Grub just picks an OS to load, and its picked properly, should I worry, or what should I do? [05:47] bazhang: great [05:47] gryllida, everything works? just that error message? [05:48] bazhang: that one looks like it might be exactly what im looking for [05:50] * Tw|sT is loading out his 2nd Ubuntu workstation of the day. [05:50] Hey, i have a small issue: i just installed 64bit ubuntu to my second drive(other drive was unplugged at the time), other drive is running 9.10 and im unable to mount it, disk utility and gparted do see it, but its not in "places" or /mount [05:51] I can't get over the quality of the 10.04-LTS release. I've had nothing but perfect results out of it so far. Mad props to the Ubuntu Dev team on this excellent release! [05:51] okay so shoudl root "/" be shoud be rwxr-xr-x? [05:53] Guest83228: Yes, drwxr-xr-x [05:53] Guest83228: owner=root, group=root [05:54] rcsheets: exceleent, it started working after I did that. [05:55] Guest83228: yeah, i'd imagine wrong permissions on / would be a pretty bad thing [05:55] Can someone help me mount my 2nd harddisk, i dont see it anywhere :( [05:56] < bazhang> gryllida, everything works? just that error message? // right [05:56] morning all [05:56] bazhang, should I do anything about it? [05:56] gryllida, have everything backed up, just in case? [05:57] bazhang: I do make backups somewhat regularly, but what this error could mean? Prior to the update, it was 'unknown control char (32)', and I ignored it, after the kernel update, it changed. [05:58] cbill: does "sudo fdisk -l" list your drive? look for the device file and mount it manually [05:59] ok the ELF tables are defined in the ld-linux.so.2 right? [05:59] winston84: yes it there; so mount /dev/sda1? [05:59] Hello. Where to change wich window manager Ubuntu loads from 'startx' ? [06:00] cbill, that would be it [06:01] imalamer: getting an error: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on / [06:01] mount failed [06:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1471138 gryllida this may shed some light [06:01] cbill, just run "mount" does it show there (in the list)? [06:01] gryllida, the second error seems to relate to the control characters, nothing awful from what I can tell [06:02] cbill, if the list is long run "mount | grep sdb1" [06:02] bazhang, can you tell a couple of words about what a control character is? [06:02] imalamer: yup its there [06:02] imalamer: /dev/sdb1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [06:02] cbill, could it be we are looking at the wrong device (sdb*) [06:03] imalamer, lol im an idiot sec [06:03] cbill, maybe something graphical such as gparted would help [06:03] gryllida, not without pasting from wikipedia about it. [06:03] imalamer, i can see it in gparted but fails to mount [06:04] cbill, i have a 3 second memory so i often use gparted to actually 'look at' it [06:04] didnt get anything from mount | grep sda1 [06:04] cbill, because it sounds like you are trying to mount the entire system again... [06:05] imalamer: ya i screwed up before, its sda1 im trying to mount, it is detected in gparted [06:05] cbill, so you see it in gparted, but can't mount it to /media/some_folder_you_want_to_mount_to [06:06] cbill, hrrrm [06:06] imalamer, ya i see it in gparted but not mount [06:07] imalamer: do i need to create a mount point perhaps? [06:07] cbill, yes, start with a "sudo mkdir /mount/name_of_your_choice [06:07] cbill, errr .... /media/name [06:08] imalamer: ok done [06:08] cbill, then try your mount /dev/sda1 /media/folder_name [06:09] imalamer, thanks, all good now :) [06:09] cbill, sweet! [06:09] because i need to go :) [06:09] imalamer, good timing haha [06:09] E: package dpkg-dev has no installation candidate .... do you know why this error happens? [06:09] +1 dkp for me [06:10] cbill: that wont be mounted when you reboot [06:10] imalamer, indeed, im off to wow now lol [06:10] sweetpi, np just need to move some data around [06:10] cbill, haha me too [06:10] how long is it supposed to take, showing the Hardware Monitor, before it boots or goes into the bios? [06:11] cbill: ok, just making sure you knew [06:11] sweetpi, will it show up in places though? [06:11] cbill what is wow now [06:11] World of Warcraft [06:11] ross_ world ^^ [06:11] wow now! [06:11] sounds so cool [06:12] lol [06:12] E: package dpkg-dev has no installation candidate .... do you know why this error happens?

[06:33] elisa87: do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and try 'sudo apt-get install flex' again. [06:34] if u're i gnome u can check on the top of the wireless conection right click and connection info [06:34] i'm just afer some basic advice here--What program do yall prefer for DVD playback?

[06:41] SoulDemon>> well there are quite a few tools like wireshark, nmap [06:41] fade_: If you want to re-install grub to /dev/sda then run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda". Do *not* try to install to a partition like /dev/sda1. [06:41] yeah i got wireshark running now, that why i was trying to figure out my ip so i can see my noise [06:41] i have an amd-64, but would like to create a VM via VirtualBox. should I use the i686 or amd64 isos? [06:41] fade_: If you don't know what drive to install grub to then just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical" and grub will be re-installed to the drive that it was installed to initially. [06:42] what i really want to do next is setup my wireless router as a AP [06:42] should i clean cache ? [06:42] timClicks: to be honest with You. I think ive used both..

[07:00] why is it going crazy? :) [07:00] actually even just typing: sudo aptitude install [07:00] makes it do that [07:01] ? [07:01] weird [07:01] Question: Does anyone know if ubuntu 10.04 has a default user/password? I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a USB flash drive and loaded it up.. and I'm at a login screen but don't know how to login. I was not prompted for user/pass creation during install process. [07:01] try putting nothing for a password [07:01] !fr [07:01] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [07:02] I tired nothing for user/password and it didn't work. [07:02] I think the install *does* ask you for a user and pass [07:04] hmm. I followed the steps located here http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download and was never prompted for a user/password [07:04] RJames: The only timve ive seen the live cd ask for a user/pass is when its goofed up. :) try 'ubuntu' with a blank password [07:04] RJames: try username ubuntu pword == blank [07:05] Hello Dr_Willis [07:05] RJames: how did you 'install' it to the usb? [07:05] oh, I dunno about netbooks [07:05] Dr_Willis: u here? === [1]wakkarto is now known as wakkarto [07:05] try root/root? [07:06] I followed step 2 on the URL I linked.. which was to download the iso, and then use the universal usb installer [07:06] Dr_Willis: ffmpeg: I/O error -> just renamed my file to video.vob, then ran the same command, and it works :) [07:07] Dr_Willis: thanks for the help [07:07] rabbit1: weird. [07:07] Dr_Willis: yeap [07:08] root/root didn't work [07:08] ubuntu/blank didn't work [07:08] Dr_Willis: may be it din't like the file name with lot of underscores in it ;) [07:08] I guess I can try an older iso [07:09] RJames: when we said 'blank' you do realuize we mean no password right? not 'blank' but '' :) [07:09] hey- it that the live CD? [07:09] RJames: if you can get to the console you colud also try setting a password. 'sudo passwd ubuntu' [07:09] Dr_Willis: this helped me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=793120 [07:09] RJames: only time ive seen it asked for a password from live cd - is when X crashes or somthign weird happends [07:10] ok so this is a strange problem, i removed the nm-applet icon from the top panel in karmic by mistake, now i cant get it back [07:10] ya..

[07:12] RJames: what tool did you use? the ubuntu disk-creator tool? [07:12] I'm not sure what casper-rw is [07:13] RJames: that IS the persistant save file :) [07:13] no it is called the universal usb installer (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe) [07:13] ever want to move a setup from one pendrive to otehr.. your persistant home is in casper-rw . want to access it from a normal install. mount the casper-rw via the Loop option of mount..

[07:26] I have a large OS collection.. never installed ubuntu media yet tho === thoffmeyer is now known as thoffmeyer|AFK [07:26] nOgAnOo, no time like the present [07:26] I love you guys [07:27] Usually I am banned in t-2 minutes [07:27] !hi | nOgAnOo [07:27] nOgAnOo: 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! [07:27] can't see why [07:27] Alejandro89: So if you just start up normally, the Ubuntu logo comes on, and it just sits there? The login screen never comes up? [07:29] sup qb [07:29] maxwellian: I have only one user and it logs automatically (when Ubuntu works fine). But now, it gets stuck in the Ubuntu loading screen. [07:30] little connection mishap: I'll repeat my question since I may have missed any responses. Isn't there a key-combo to exit the gui and bring up a console? [07:30] hey qb can I use Unetbootin on my second hard drive so i can boot Ubuntu livecd from it and install it on the same hard drive it's booting from [07:30] Alejandro89: What happened right before it stopped working? Did you install something, uninstall something? [07:30] kthx qb [07:30] RJames_: alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 will go to the console. but not close X. [07:30] hi... [07:30] RJames_: alt-ctrl-F7 should go back to X. simetimes its F8 or F9 [07:31] ok understood,...tks [07:32] if I want to run a BASH script on startup were should I call it from? [07:32] maxwellian: I was installing the "xbmc Media Center" from the "Software Center" of Ubuntu. [07:33] Ego_Proctor: depends on what its doing. [07:33] Ego_Proctor: and what you mean by 'startup' - boot up? user log in time? [07:34] Dr_Willis I am having issues with my sound. It starts muted, but the system thinks it is unmuted and on full. [07:34] This happens both at startup and log in [07:35] ctrl-alt-f7 took me back.... [07:35] and I want to take this time to say thanks to all you question answer'ers [07:35] i <3 you [07:35] Dr_Willis I am hoping that a script that calls alsa set Master mute and then alsa set Master 100% will fix it, but I need to take affect at start. [07:35] less than three!? [07:36] that is one interpretaion.. yese [07:36] Dr_Willis, and at and change in session and login [07:36] Ego_Proctor: make a script in the users bin dir. make it get launched by the system->perferances -> startup applications and see. [07:36] Ego_Proctor: test it with just a script first perhaps. [07:37] Ive notived that the volume mixer app sais mine is muted now. even tho its not. :) the icon is wrong. [07:37] maxwellian: In one of the tries to enter Ubuntu, I could read the following message: "Fatal server error: no screens found" [07:37] Alejandro89: This is after trying 'startx'? [07:38] try the safemodle [07:38] where is apache cgi-bin in ubuntu to run perl in web ? [07:38] Dr_Willis, the whole sound system is wrong :) [07:39] codebrainz: i rarely have any issues. [07:39] iman, /usr/lib/cgi-bin, if that's what you mean [07:39] Dr_Willis, you are lucky then :) [07:40] Dr_Willis, I am not running gnome by default, I am running openbox, so is there a way to test it in openbox or should I just go back to gnome and test it there? [07:40] codebrainz: yeah i think so [07:40] Dr_Willis, er I know there is a way to test it in openbox, but will it be easier to test it in gnome..? [07:40] maxwellian: No, it was when I tried to enter in the "fails-test mode" and selected in the list "fails-test mode" (or similar) again. Then, I choose "Normal mode" in that list and it allows me to write in the terminal. I write "startx" and Ubuntu starts perfect. [07:41] Ego_Proctor: make a launcher/menu item that runs the script [07:41] Alejandro89: Okay, I've never had this issue, but my understanding is that you should not have to run 'startx' yourself. [07:41] Ego_Proctor: or use the terminal [07:41] Dr_Willis, someone in the #alsa channel told me to play with /etc/init.d/rc.local is that advised? [07:42] Ego_Proctor: you can put the script/commands in there also. but thats system wide. and may or may not work [07:42] Dr_Willis, I have tested it to make sure it works, I just need it to do so at login... [07:42] maxwellian, if you use a DM like gdm or kdm, otherwise you need to startx yourself [07:42] Ego_Proctor: the alsa service stuff should save/restore that. [07:42] Ego_Proctor: try it in rc.local and see. [07:42] Ego_Proctor, add it to your ~/.xinitrc file [07:42] codebrainz: So you log in through the terminal, and then run startx, and that will get your desktop environment going? [07:42] Dr_Willis, ok, I just saw that it was a very sparce file and didn't want to F it up [07:42] maxwellian, correct [07:42] Ego_Proctor: how are you launching openbox anyway? via startx? or gdm? [07:43] Ego_Proctor: rc.local does nothing by default. :) [07:43] codebrainz: Neat. I thought startx was only for the X Server, but I guess not. [07:43] Ego_Proctor: it 'exits':) put commands befor the exit command [07:43] maxwellian, it runs your .xinitrc and some other files that get the WM up and running [07:43] maxwellian, codebrainz: I agree with you. I have installed Ubuntu normally (I think that gdm was installed). [07:43] I was thinking 'startx' now looks for .Xsession and somthing else befor it looks for .xinitrc these days on ubuntu [07:43] i can not seem to get the facebook chat going in empathy? [07:44] codebrainz: Cool, thanks. Good to know! [07:44] wrong size case has stoped my build tonight, oh well to return and continue tomorrow.... :) [07:44] Dr_Willis, ok thanks... ;) [07:45] Alejandro89: I'm Googling around a bit. We will probably have to do some reconfiguring of gdm. [07:45] Rp3: screw the MB and parts to some plywood and wallmount it. :) [07:45] Alejandro89: Give me a minute to read a thread... [07:46] Dr_Willis, that thought crossed my mind... I need to read more on SSD drives and mounting /home on other drives, etc... plus too many beers now.. :) [07:46] Rp3: drinking and [07:46] Rp3: drinking and 'hard driving' dont mix. :) [07:46] Dr_Willis: Nice. :) [07:47] Rp3: aspare /home on its own HD is always handy. /boot/ not so much these days [07:47] Dr_Willis, no worries just building but this build came to a quick halt... :) [07:47] Rp3: theres also some new options comming out (or are out?) for Solide State Drives to gain some performacne [07:47] Rp3: but ive never used those Yet. [07:48] Dr_Willis, got a 32GID SSD for 50 bux so I thought I would give it a go on my GF's new machine... :) [07:48] GIG [07:48] Rp3: thats nice. :) i hope the prices on those things drop real real real fast. [07:48] i never wait for my harddrive :) [07:48] /boot should always be a separate partition if you use LVM and/or disk crypto [07:49] Dr_Willis, they are, FRYS rocks, not sure where you are, but they are great.. :) [07:49] Rp3: we got one nearby. I just tend to need space more then i need speed. [07:50] Alejandro89: Are you on a different computer than the Ubuntu one with the login issue? [07:50] maxwellian: No. [07:50] Dr_Willis, 10-4, I Have same issue, Mom & Dad give me "OLD" machines all the time, so I have 10 or so on my network.. Got my mom converted to Ubuntu almost... [07:50] trying to get my dad now, he is strugling wiht winblows. [07:51] linuxphobic? [07:52] Alejandro89: So how are you talking to us now? You ran startx? [07:52] Dr_Willis: I'm still having issues with ssd's only bein able to take a limited number of write operations before they are inoperable. If that gets solved you can say goodbye to spinning platters. [07:52] maxwellian: Exactly, I ran startx. === me is now known as Guest92948 [07:53] Hi, I have a question if someone can help me. I live in a non English speaking country so whenever I go to google, facebook etc, or recently when using Gwibber it dosen't load in English. I assume it's because of my IP, how can I change this so English is default all over my system? === chalcedony is now known as chalcedny` === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [07:54] Alejandro89: And I forget, did you say that before this problem started happening, you were using automatic login? In other words, you weren't entering your password to log in? [07:54] hello [07:54] abuayyoub: You'd have to use a proxy, I think. [07:54] Rp3, hey winblows adds a great deal to the US economy, without it here would be no great need for virus scanners, Geeks squad, armies of MS network admins, and who knows how many other jobs that have been created to prop up that great diseased whale of an operating system [07:54] abuayyoub: If they are switching on your IP. [07:55] Alejandro89, you can try to dpkg-reconfigure gdm, failing that you could try apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm. some things to try [07:55] maxwellian: well, the IP is of my host country, which is not english.So when I load Facebook in Gwibber for example its in another language. === chalcedny` is now known as chalcedny === daniel_ is now known as blaze|| [07:55] <`Gumby> hi all. Im trying to get my Alps touchpad working on my Sony Vaio. I cant seem to figure out how to get it to work. Read quite a few forums posts but most seem to be for other models. Anyone have any suggestions? [07:55] abuayyoub: your fault for speaking a stupid language i guess [07:55] abuayyoub, i think you'll need to use a proxy server [07:55] maxwellian: Yes. I didnt know anything like "startx" two hours ago. I have this problem and then, put the live cd and start searching in the internet. Now, I can start ubuntu but only with the "startx" command. [07:55] abuayyoub: non-english countries suck [07:55] hello is it possible to have windows boot up by default on a dual boot with ubuntu and windows [07:55] abuayyoub: Exactly, so if you were using an http proxy located in the US, they would think you were there. [07:56] asianmale: lol [07:56] hi. I need help with xorg.conf. I chose to enable the nvidia driver and now it's not recognizing my monitor. Before I have been told to delete xorg.conf when this happens and it worked. This time I deleted it and now things are worse. Nothing loads. [07:56] <`Gumby> quentin: do you have console access? [07:56] `Gumby, my vaio has alps *i think* and it works ok. not that that helps :) [07:56] maxwellian: I understand, but do i really need to go threw all that just to change my language settings? [07:56] abuayyoub: lol all you want fuck-pig. Im serious...deadly serious. (yes that's a threat of violence) [07:56] abuayyoub: They're not your language settings. [07:57] <`Gumby> codebrainz, yeah, lol. there are issues with the newer models, specifically the F series [07:57] you can use a poxy [07:57] abuayyoub: Google's not asking you where you live, it's assuming, based on your IP. [07:57] can someone ban this askanmale troll please? [07:57] proxy [07:57] `Gumby: I had a blinking cursor, but I couldn't type anything. Right now I'm using the install disk live to talk in here. [07:58] codebrainz, maxwellian: I tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and the output was (translated): /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: gdm is broken or it is not tottally installed [07:58] asianmale: Stop, now. [07:58] abuayyoub, i think there's a way to flag the ops. anyway, use something like TOR or a proxy server in another country [07:58] Alejandro89: Oh, good. That's probably the issue then. :) [07:58] asianmale is a troll can someone ban him please? [07:58] Alejandro89, do the second command i said [07:58] whats the ubottu thing for ops [07:58] <`Gumby> quentin: ah, your best bet is to chroot then and run nvidia-xconfig [07:59] codebrainz: yea, I dont have a problem with proxys its jsut that I assumed it would be easier than having to do all that. [07:59] thanks anyhow [07:59] abuayyoub: If you understand the cause, then you know it can't be easier than that. :) [07:59] codebrainz: Sorry for the ignorance. The command is: "apt-get --reinstall --purge" and then "install gdm" or "apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm"? [07:59] abuayyoub, i think that's the only way, because the sites will always see your remote address [07:59] <`Gumby> quentin: actually... you probably dont even need to chroot.. install the nvidia drivers via the livecd, run nvidia-xconfig and then copy the xorg.conf it creates to your root partition after mounting it [07:59] any one tell me what is TOR? [08:00] where you see it? [08:00] Alejandro89, apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm [08:00] Alejandro89: Don't worry, you're doing great. :) [08:00] Alejandro89, should totally remove and then reinstall gdm from scratch === PHANTOM is now known as Guest60332 [08:00] I believe TOR is a limited anonymizer of sorts, works inside TOR networks but not at the edge or outside it [08:00] `Gumby: Ok. I'm gonna try it. [08:00] <`Gumby> quentin: you know how to do all that? [08:02] `Gumby: I'm not so good with the command line. I might be able to just use synaptic to get the driver installed. [08:02] <`Gumby> quentin: yeah, thats the easy part ;) [08:03] maxwellian, codebrainz: The output its very long, but It says that "xbmc-live" have errors !! It should be deleted from the "Software Center". Have to do a reboot? [08:03] swordfish_, http://www.torproject.org/ [08:03] <`Gumby> you're better off opening the "Hardware Drivers" though [08:03] thankyou [08:03] Alejandro89, sudo reboot (but I'd remove that package while you're in there) [08:03] `Gumby: which version of nvidia should I install. when things got messed up earlier I had installed nvidia-current. [08:05] codebrainz: I dont understand "but I'd remove that package while you're in there". Can you re-write it in a different way? [08:05] quentin, i think there's a Jocket utility for text-mode 'jockey-text' probably [08:05] Alejandro89: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge xbmc-live' [08:05] Alejandro89, sure, apt-get remove --purge xbmc-live [08:05] heh [08:05] <`Gumby> quentin: can you mount your root partition? [08:05] codebrainz: Actually, do you think he should purge? [08:06] maxwellian, sure, why not, if it doesn't work anyway :) [08:06] maxwellian, codebrainz: Ok, done! Then, sudo reboot. [08:06] codebrainz: how would I use 'jocky-text' [08:06] codebrainz: Well I'm just hoping something went wrong during the install. [08:06] hi there, how do i create a launcher such that when i click on it, it runs the terminal window and navigates to a particular directory and does a "ls -la" WITHOUT closing the terminal window? i googled abit, but all i get are links telling me how to create keyboard shortcuts for terminal. that is NOT wat i want. [08:06] Alejandro89: Yup, good luck! [08:06] quentin, i've not used it, but it should be a friendly way to install the binary drivers [08:07] `Gumby: I ran nautilus in root to get to the xorg.conf. that's how I deleted it. [08:07] maxwellian, nothing an apt-get -f install can't fix :) [08:07] codebrainz: Heh. :) [08:07] codebrainz: I've never used that option, hopefully never will. [08:07] quentin, i think dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will re-generate a clean xorg.conf file [08:08] codebrainz: APT dependency resolution is black magic to me. [08:08] maxwellian, my understanding is it's just the text-mode version of the proprietary drivers thing in gnome (jocket-gtk) [08:08] <`Gumby> quentin: if you have an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 on your root partition you can change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv" and X will probably work [08:08] maxwellian, oops, i misunderstood [08:08] <`Gumby> codebrainz: he'll have to chroot to do that [08:08] maxwellian, it just fixes broken dependencies afaik [08:08] <`Gumby> codebrainz: or copy what it gives him to his root drive [08:08] hi i have something to share open prompt and type yes [08:09] codebrainz: If it says, "Sorry, I can't do that Dave.", I say, "No problem, don't worry." and back away slowly. [08:09] <`Gumby> why not just edit the existing xorg.conf [08:09] `Gumby, he deleted it afaik [08:09] <`Gumby> yeah I see that now [08:09] <`Gumby> nvidia-xconfig would be a better option I think [08:09] <`Gumby> but, both will work [08:09] maxwellian, just give it the daily sacrificial lamb and you're cool [08:10] <`Gumby> if X is simply the desired result [08:10] * maxwellian snaps his fingers, "I knew I was forgetting something!" [08:10] `Gumby, assuming access to Xorg [08:10] Alejandro89: How'd it go? [08:10] <`Gumby> yeah, he'll need to mount the root partition [08:10] maxwellian, codebrainz: Mmm...It didnt works. [08:11] `Gumby, i wasn't paying close attention, i though he could boot into text-mode on his main install :) [08:11] Alejandro89: What happened this time? Same exact thing as before? [08:11] Alejandro89: Any difference is important. [08:12] <`Gumby> he said he got nothing but a bliking cursor but could probably get there via recovery, but.. if he is already in a livecd, why not just mount his root partition and create a new xorg.conf === Zorge_ is now known as Zorge [08:12] maxwellian, codebrainz: Im here again with the "startx" command. Exactly the same, its get stuck in the ubuntu logo. [08:12] i need a swap partition ,but i have installed ubuntu .......so i need make from the ubuntu partition ...can any one help me [08:12] maxwellian, i think his x/gfx/config is not working so it keeps dropping back to gdm and auto-logging in again, maybe [08:13] swordfish: if you have ubuntu installed you already have a swap partition [08:13] someone can help me to install the plugins flashplayer and java on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit ? [08:13] swordfish_, use gparted (better from the livecd) [08:13] <^Jay2^> sta drivers cant be used with 2.6.34 :( help me please [08:13] mik__: are they not in software center? === hahaha is now known as Guest90503 [08:13] no [08:13] not like that [08:13] well explain yourself [08:13] !java | mik__ [08:13] mik__: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [08:13] we dont read minds [08:14] <`Gumby> !flash [08:14] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [08:14] codebrainz: Hmm...the config should be default now, shouldn't be a problem? [08:14] mik__: install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' and i think that will pull in java and some otehr parts you proberly want [08:14] hmm [08:14] `Gumby: and codebrainz: I did the reconfigure in the terminal. I now have a new xorg.conf and the driver says "vesa" [08:14] Compiling: a swap partition is not requisite during an Ubuntu installation. [08:14] sun-java6-jre and icedtea is what youre probably looking for [08:15] maxwellian, something with the X/gfx not working, Alejandro89 mentioned an X error, right? [08:15] quentin: vesa is the very bottom of the line failsafe driver. :) [08:15] <`Gumby> quentin: so you know how to mount your root partition? [08:15] maxwellian, codebrainz: While everything works okay, the ubuntu logo appears (for 3 seconds aprox) and then Ubuntu log in. Now, the logo screens appeared and blinked one time and then gets stucked. [08:15] <`Gumby> so/do [08:15] Alejandro89: Oh sorry, I misread your first thing about gfx. [08:15] maxwellian, Alejandro89 but X does work, so it's weird [08:15] Alejandro89: Sorry, meant to direct that to codebrainz. [08:15] tanks willis, i try..... [08:15] `Gumby: I guess. I just used sudo nautilus and went from there. [08:16] Alejandro89, the only thing i can suggest is to apt-get remove --purge gdm && apt-get install kdm [08:16] Alejandro89, it's not really a fix though [08:16] <`Gumby> quentin: ok, so you have no problem taking the xorg.conf from the livecd and putting it in your root etc/X11/ then? [08:16] Alejandro89: Just hang on a sec, let me poke around my own config files. [08:16] <`Gumby> quentin: edit the file and change vesa to nv [08:17] Dr_Willis: I tried using the nvidia driver and it wouldn't recognize my monitor. [08:17] ok.. trying unetbootin to build my USB drive.... using ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso. We'll see how this goes. [08:17] `Gumby: I will try nv instead of vesa [08:17] <^Jay2^> no one here uses kernel 2.6.34 in 10.04??? :( [08:17] quentin, how did you install the drivers? [08:18] ^Jay2^:why [08:18] maxwellian, codebrainz: I did again now: "apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm" and it do some things. No more the error message. [08:18] <`Gumby> quentin: good luck!! should work no problem [08:18] <^Jay2^> Guest90503: my broadcom sta drivers stopped working with the new kernel [08:18] Alejandro89: Ohhhh...it needed us to remove the other package before it could do a proper reinstall of gdm, maybe. [08:19] Alejandro89: Try a reboot now, see if that helped. [08:19] ^Jay2^: what is sta [08:19] codebrainz: I used the Hardware Drivers selection under System->Administration [08:19] <^Jay2^> Guest90503: broadcom proprietary driver [08:19] `Gumby: thanks [08:19] maxwellian, codebrainz: Ok, see you soon. I will try the sudo reboot. [08:20] ^Jay2^: try Administration-->Hardware Drivers [08:20] <^Jay2^> it wont activate [08:20] <^Jay2^> there's an error [08:20] quentin, i had good success with installing the drivers from nvidia, bit of a pain though [08:20] <`Gumby> !skype [08:20] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [08:20] how u upgrade a kernel [08:20] !icedtea [08:20] o [08:20] Guest90503: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:21] Guest90503: if theres a new version in the repos 'sudo apt-get upgrade' or 'dist-upgrade' should insatll it [08:21] I think [08:21] the current one ends in 23 [08:21] but that wud upgrade distro [08:21] <^Jay2^> the current one is 2.6.32 [08:21] its kernel [08:21] oh [08:21] 32 [08:21] Guest90503: and what version of ubuntu are you using?

[08:22] <^Jay2^> system>administration>system monitor [08:22] <^Jay2^> then first tab [08:22] Dr_Willis: I remember something like that, ending in 23, indeed. [08:22] Dr_Willis: Is there a command to do that? [08:22] Guest90503: dist-upgrade i find is needed for some of the mnore critical parts of the OS. if they are 'held back' [08:22] !version | gryllida [08:22] hi there, how do i create a launcher such that when i click on it, it runs the terminal window and navigates to a particular directory and does a "ls -la" WITHOUT closing the terminal window? i googled abit, but all i get are links telling me how to create keyboard shortcuts for terminal. that is NOT wat i want. [08:22] gryllida: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [08:22] codebrainz: thanks to you too. I'm trying the rename of vesa to nv, and I am now restarting. [08:22] maxwellian: to upgrade to 10.10 - thers proberly some ways to do it.. but i dont bother. :) [08:22] hm [08:23] gryllida: and ''uname -r'' for kernel [08:23] quentin, someone else suggested that, but good luck, it should work [08:23] Zeu5: make a script that does it.. 3 commands, cd /whever, ls -al , read foobar [08:23] ^Jay2^: i think u need to reinstall lucid [08:23] Dr_Willis: I mean, is there non-graphical way to upgrade the Ubuntu distro? [08:23] im trying to understand what a build environment is. is it a setting where you can compile software? is that all it is? [08:23] Zeu5: then make a launcher that does 'xterm -e yourscript' [08:23] maxwellian: proberly is. but i rarely upgrade releases. [08:23] Guest90503: Gah, what? Reinstall? [08:23] <^Jay2^> Guest90503: i dont want to do that. lol [08:23] !build environment > opij [08:23] how can i change my nick here...it not changing with /nick.. [08:23] im on empathy [08:24] Guest90503: try harder.. try a different nick. or try a different irc client. :) [08:24] Guest1465: get another irc client [08:24] Guest90503: /nick should work, what eror message do you get === Guest90503 is now known as hahah [08:24] Guest90503: sudo apt-get install irssi [08:24] darmok and jalad at tanagra [08:24] :P [08:24] hahah: Oh, much better. :P [08:24] ok [08:24] it waz not changing to hahaha [08:24] hahah: yay it worked [08:25] hahah: Anyway, wireless is, in my experience, the trickiest part of Ubuntu, especially for new users. [08:25] ping [08:25] pong [08:25] gryllida: could you tell me what a build environment is [08:25] i think there is hahaha registered [08:25] whoa [08:25] maxwellian, codebrainz: Yeah !! It works. All I have to do is a "sudo reboot" lol haha (Its a joke, I perfectly understand all the intentions in every step). Thank you again, guys, you rock !!! Greetings from Uruguay ! [08:25] wireless for my last 3 laptops - just 'worked' on 10.10 :) less hassles then i had in windows.. [08:25] Dr_Willis: i did exactly as you said. the launcher is open as applicatin or application in terminal? [08:25] darmok and jalad at tanagra! [08:25] Alejandro89, glad to hear it [08:25] Alejandro89: Glad it worked! :) I guess you should stay away from the media center thing for now... :) [08:26] opij: like... IDE [08:26] ? [08:26] Zeu5: open in terminal, would skip the xterm -e step.. try them both and see how they work. [08:26] Alejandro89: Although it might be a good idea to file a bug report. [08:26] Who was it that wanted to upgrade to 10.10? [08:26] dugger5688: No one, but how do you do it, dugger5688? [08:26] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-1010-maverick.html [08:26] Zeu5: i tend to use the xterm -bg red -fg blue -e whatever,. all the time so i can have differnt apps start up in differnt color xterms. [08:26] But I wouldn't... [08:26] after using unetbootin and trying to load ubuntu that way... now I'm getting tons of errors on the console (SQUASHFS error: unable to read page cache xxxxx). That mean I have a bad USB drive? [08:27] RJames_: or a bad iso file. [08:27] RJames_: or perjhaps bad ram? that would be wweird [08:27] grrr. [08:27] i have a doubt...if ubuntu keep giving a distro every 6months...i keep on hopping on the ditro...all the exiting programs are lost...is there a way to retain in new dist [08:27] opij, if you are talking about ide i.e. itentegrated development environement then e.g. ecipse see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment [08:27] Zeu5: xterm -e bash -c 'cd particular_directory && ls -la; exec bash' [08:27] maxwellian: How can I do that? [08:27] hahah: you can clone your list of installed apps.. and reisntall them [08:27] !clone | hahah [08:27] hahah: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [08:27] RJames_, I'd check the md5 of your ISO [08:28] kk [08:28] Zeu5: or whatever terminal you like to use, with its appropriate -e flag. [08:28] darmok and jalad at tanagra [08:28] THanks Dr_Willis will try..will it reatin my installed app in karmic to lucid [08:28] alteregoa: ? [08:28] am gonna upgrade [08:28] his arms wide [08:28] *retain [08:29] hahah: It will remove things that are no longer supported. [08:29] alteregoa: whose? [08:29] hahah: I believe. [08:29] darmok [08:29] prince_jammys: thank you. you gave me a very simple solution. appreciate it. [08:29] hahah: But that's not usually a problem. [08:29] alteregoa: who's darmok? [08:29] Dr_Willis: thank you [08:29] Zeu5: welcome. [08:29] hahah: it will 'reinstall' the apps you had installed befor. [08:29] will that download stuf [08:30] Alejandro89: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [08:30] Zeu5: if you want xterm to stay open at a terminal priompt use that exec bash trick showed by prince_jammys , if you want it to 'close' when you hit enter use 'read foo' [08:30] hey while trying to install google desktop i get this error: Failed to run gdebi-gtk '--non-interactive' '/home/abhijit/Softwares/google-desktop-linux_current_amd64.deb' as user root [08:30] hahah: it will REINSTALL THE APPS.. so Yes. [08:30] any sulutino guys [08:30] hahah: you are saving a LIST of what you had installed... [08:31] ohhhh osryy soryy i got it sorry [08:31] abhi_nav: try 'sudo gdebi /home/abhijit/Softwares/google-desktop-linux_current_amd64.deb' [08:31] maxwellian: Ok, I wiil do it. [08:31] maxwellian, codebrainz: Thanks again, what you do is very useful. Good bye ! [08:31] shaka when the walls fell [08:31] Alejandro89: Thanks, bye! [08:31] I am back. My monitor is now recognized but I can't change the resolution. much of the interface is off screen so I'll probably have to change the res [08:31] is there a way to convert 32bit iso to 64bit iso...ie x64 version from x32 [08:31] quentin, are you using the proprietary drivers now? [08:31] Alejandro89: Actually, now that you know how to fix it, you should try the media thing again. [08:32] hahah: No. You dont convert 32bit to 64 or visa versa [08:32] Alejandro89: To see if it happens again. [08:32] ok.. this is embarrasing, but I don't know where to find the md5 value for my iso. Is it inside the ISO itself? I don't see it on the download page. [08:32] Alejandro89: No point filing a bug if it was not really a bug, but something that just got goofed when you installed the media thing. [08:32] maxwellian, or just use MythTV :) [08:32] RJames_: theres a md5 file on the servers somewhere with a list of them all. [08:32] darmok and jalad at tanagra [08:32] no i mean ...i have lucid desktop x32 iso file...is there any trick to change it to x6 [08:32] hmm [08:32] when i set up a virtual server in apache, its setting that document root for all the servers, input? [08:33] codebrainz: Heh, or that. :) As far as gadgets and hooking up doohickeys goes, I'm clueless. [08:33] Rjames: don't be embarresed, we are learning by watching too :) [08:33] RJames_, paste the link where you downloaded the iso and we'll find you the md5 if it's there [08:33] * Petskull learns by watching porn [08:33] maxwellian: But, the xmbc works perfectly. I have installed it some weeks ago. Today, I see the "xbmc live package" and tried to install it. Then, the bug appeared. [08:34] codebrainz: I am using the nv which I assume is nvidia. Only thing is, when I go to the nvidia config tool It tells me I don't appear to be using the nvidia-x-driver [08:34] and 32bit lucid shows only 2.9gb ram :( [08:34] http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [08:34] Alejandro89: Right, so before you submit a bug, I would try the process again. [08:34] hahah: and how much ram do you have exactly? [08:34] quentin, i think you're using the open source one [08:34] anyone able to help me with an apache problem? [08:34] <`Gumby> quentin: you are using the nv driver which is the open source driver, not the nvidia binary driver [08:34] quentin: nv is an open source driver. you want the one called 'nvidia' [08:34] 4gb [08:34] Alejandro89: The first thing the developers are going to try to do is reproduce it, and if it can't be reproduced, it's not going to get much attention. [08:35] Dargon: How did you install apache? [08:35] apt-get [08:35] <`Gumby> quentin: I am willing to guess that the nvidia driver isnt recognizing the EDID of your monitor and X isnt starting properly [08:35] hahah: with exactly 4 gb. there is some lost due to hardware/video/issues. but 1.1 gb seems a little high - unless your video card is taking a lot of it [08:35] hahah: try a 64bit live cd. and see what it 'sees' [08:35] hahah: if you ah ce a 64bit capable cpu. I would suggest using 64bit anyway [08:35] i hear 32bit cannot address more than 3gb [08:35] darmok and jalad at tanagra! [08:36] maxwellian, apt-get install apache-mpm-prefork [08:36] Dargon: Have you set up a site, i.e., you have something in sites-enabled? [08:36] `Gumby: yes. it has recognized it before, but I have installed lucid lynx and now it doesn't [08:36] then can i install 32bit deb packages [08:36] looks like when I hit the download button.. it actually redirects to a random mirror [08:36] maxwellian, no, im using apache2.conf for everything [08:36] hahah: 32bit has max ram limitations - yes. but its 4gb limit I think. and there are other things to watch out for. [08:36] RJames_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [08:36] hahah: ive rarely see things taht are '32bit' only these days. [08:37] cool! thanks iflema. [08:37] maxwellian, is that my problem? [08:37] Dargon: I'm sure there's a good reason to have config files split up, but I guess it's your call. :) [08:37] hahah: install the server kernel maybe === unixlike is now known as back [08:37] Dargon: Anyway, you have a DocRoot? [08:37] yes [08:37] iflema, good find :) [08:37] maxwellian, yes [08:37] maxwellian: Ok, I will re do it. It will reboot the computer by force like the last time. But I will write down the process to solve it. Bye ! [08:37] 64bit kernel/system has better performacen then a 32bit system + pae kernel. from what ive read. [08:38] Alejandro89: Thanks, that's great! Later! === back is now known as unixlike [08:38] codebrainz, prince_jammys: installing the proprietary drivers is what got me here with no monitor recognition. now with the open source one my resolution is so huge a good portion of interface is off screen. [08:38] Dargon: Okay, so what's your question? You can set up your cgi-bin wherever you want, but it's usually just below the DocRoot. [08:38] which filesystem is better ext3 or ext4 [08:39] hahah: whjen in doubt. use the defaults.. [08:39] ext4 [08:39] hahah: and ext4 is the default now [08:39] ext4 is newer version [08:39] !resolution | quentin [08:39] quentin: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [08:39] so i have to use a / of ext4 [08:39] for lucid [08:39] hahah: you dont HAVE to.. but its the default. [08:39] hahah: do you ahve a reason to use ext3 ? === devunt_ is now known as devunt [08:39] i dont have etx3 [08:40] i dont have ext4 [08:40] hahah: you are not making any sence. [08:40] i have to create in the partitioner [08:40] Is anyone else seeing a '?' in ubottu's factoid up there? [08:40] sry [08:40] hahah: so make a partition, tell it to be ext4 [08:40] quentin: if all else fails,try this as a last resort http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/guerrilla-tactics-force-screen-mode-ubuntu [08:40] hahah: or let it auto partition and not worry about it [08:40] maxwell_, gdm kdm [08:40] i have ext3 which has karmic [08:40] maxwellian, the question is, www.aftermathzone.com goes to /home/amz/public_html and i want images.aftermathzone.com to go to ~/public_html/images, but when i set the virtual server, it pushes the www. to the images directory also [08:40] maxwellian: indeed I do see that question maek [08:40] RJames_ codebrainz there should also be an md5sum hash in the directory the iso came from [08:40] boo [08:40] maxwellian: the "smart quotes" may be doing that in your terminal/client [08:41] i have to make it ext4 [08:41] hahah: so you are eraseing the old ubuntu? [08:41] mark* [08:41] ya [08:41] ZykoticK9: Oh, okay, but that's kind of confusing to a new user...? [08:41] hahah: then tell it to delete the partition, remake it,. tell it to be ext4 or somtjhing like that. [08:41] k [08:41] maxwellian: ah, no, sorry, you meant the ?dm. that's intentional [08:41] prince_jammys: I get the smart quotes, but I think ZykoticK9 has it right, that that's supposed to be replaced by a 'g' or a 'k' depending on your environment. [08:42] hahah: or delete all the partitions so you have a lot of unallocated space.. restart the insatller (or use the back button) and let it auto-partition the unallocated space [08:42] iflema, heh, good luck finding the dir with these fancy ubuntu webpages :) [08:42] ubuttu: oh crap. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do all that. That's what I went throught before karmic. with karmic the nvidia driver detected my monitor fine. I could even edit my resolution in the regular "Monitor" editor [08:42] heh- wow, that's just a *mine* for newbies! [08:42] Petskull: Right? [08:42] it's like it's intentional [08:42] Hmm. I had 2 kernel updates, now have 3 lines in Grub -- original, first updated, second updated. Is this ok? [08:42] maxwellian: yeah, it's a glob that assumes that gdm/kdm/xdm/single_letter_dm is installed and at /etc/init.d [08:42] gryllida: use # to hide unwanted [08:43] gryllida, not only is it ok, it's really useful :) [08:43] codebrainz like this one? http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ ;) [08:43] * Petskull writes a system-wipe utility named '?dm' [08:43] gryllida: it dosent hurt to have some backup kernels. [08:43] prince_jammys: Oh, duh...that will actually work in the shell. [08:43] "It's safe, man- the BOT said so!" [08:43] maxwellian, using sites-enabled i get apache2: Syntax error on line 238 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default: No such file or directory [08:43] iflema, heh, that's where i was heading when you posted the other link :) [08:43] prince_jammys: I've never used the question mark glob, so it freaked me out. :) [08:43] Petskull: Never trust robots. [08:43] maxwellian: ? = regular expression for a single character. :) ?dm can match gdm or kdm. and cause some issues :) [08:44] maxwellian: it won't restart X if you don't have a graphical login, though :) [08:44] maxwellian, prince_jammys technically even the /etc/init.d part is outdated. "sudo service ?dm restart" [08:44] maxwellian: that factoid has had that annoyance for ages. :) [08:44] ZykoticK9: and if you have KDM and GDM both installed.. its even more wrong. :) [08:44] well, the ISO checksum passed [08:44] ZykoticK9: Except the '?dm' won't work in that context. [08:44] Dr_Willis: are you afraid of megaman? [08:44] Dargon, what does 'ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default' say? [08:44] Dr_Willis, good point! [08:44] Dr_Willis: Oh man, what would it do then?? [08:44] what programming language is used to write linux kernel ,gnome,and the apps?is it only c++ [08:45] wt compiler used [08:45] hahah: C, gcc [08:45] hahah, c, gcc [08:45] so Either that distro just doesn't work for my netbook, or my netbook has hardware issues.. or my usb drive does... or .. or ..oorrr [08:45] hahah: c [08:45] heh [08:45] maxwellian: it just failed totally with some odd message last i tried it.. but the /etc/init.d/XXX part is wrong with 10.04 also.. [08:45] Jordan_U, does using "?" actually work with init.d [08:45] * maxwellian smirks at codebrainz [08:45] no oops? [08:45] ZykoticK9: it's just a path to a file, so yeah. it's a glob. [08:45] i mean c++ [08:45] maxwellian, there is some GAS assembly in there i'm sure [08:45] maxwellian [08:45] root@li131-91:~# ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [08:45] /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [08:45] root@li131-91:~# [08:45] Dargon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:45] prince_jammys, i see what you mean :) [08:46] Dargon: Sorry, should have warned you. [08:46] Dargon: Can you paste the output like the bot said? [08:46] yeah === ^Jay2^DC is now known as ^Jay2^ [08:46] ZykoticK9: the service version works only if your present directory happens to be /etc/init.d ;) [08:46] ZykoticK9: Yes, because /etc/init.d/gdm is a file, and /etc/init.d/?dm is a shell glob that will match that file. [08:46] if suppose i want to edit the source code of calculator app...how do i do that....i installed only binary file from SPM [08:47] Dargon, what is the output of 'ls /etc/apache2/sites-available' [08:47] maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459038/ [08:47] prince_jammys, Jordan_U thanks guys - "I'm on the trolley now" [08:47] ZykoticK9: You're welcome. [08:47] hahah: Well you start by doing something like 'apt-get source calculator' [08:47] its gcalctool [08:47] hahah: Whatever. ;) [08:47] hahah, apt-get build-dep gcalctool && apt-get source gcalctool [08:48] codebrainz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459040/ === yossis is now known as YossXP [08:48] and wer will the source code save [08:48] hahah: But how to actually make a patch, and apply it, and repackage it? I've never figured that out. :P [08:48] Dargon, not too familiar with webmin. what is the output of 'ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/' [08:48] hahah: Note however than you do *not* want to run apt-get source as root, and it will download the source to your current directory. [08:48] hahah: If you do, please walk me through it. [08:49] Jordan_U, good point [08:49] hahah: In other words, don't run those through sudo. [08:49] hahah: Just to be crystal clear. :) [08:50] ya [08:50] am on ubuntu user [08:50] codebrainz, webmin doesnt do much for the apache config except make me not have to write it manualkly, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459041/ [08:50] Man, I started #mame for that guy earlier, and I'm still the only one in there... :P [08:51] Dargon, type this: sudo ln -sv /etc/apache2/sites-available/webmin.1278214817.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [08:51] maxwellian: If you are interested in fixing a bug for the first time, maybe you could give feedback on how discoverable the process is as explained here: http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/?p=691 [08:52] hahah: why are you using .spm anyway? ubuntu/apt has its own system for getting a programs source [08:52] since the ISO checksum passed, I'm going to download the previous netbook version (9.10) and see if I have any luck with that [08:52] Dargon, then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [08:52] done [08:52] i got 3files [08:52] Jordan_U: I would LOVE to fix a bug, I've always wanted to, but I've never figured it out, even with the docs. :\ [08:52] .tar [08:52] Jordan_U: Nothing specific, I just want to fix SOMETHING. :) [08:52] !apt | hahah [08:52] hahah: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [08:52] .tar,gz sry [08:52] I think I'll download the desktop iso as well. And see if I can boot off my USB with that on my other laptop and desktop.. to test out my USB drive [08:52] fun fun fun [08:52] maxwellian, there's plenty of bugs out there, which language do you like? [08:52] <^Jay2^> !softwaresources [08:53] <^Jay2^> !sources [08:53] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [08:53] huh, thats strange, i deleted some files from my desktop and now theres some dotted boxed outlines where the icons were [08:53] codebrainz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459043/ [08:53] hahah: you can get apt-get to install all the needed dev files to compule somthing with ' sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGENAME' then you use other commands to 'grab' the source deb and set the thing up so you can edit/rebuild & compile the source/deb === vivid` is now known as vivid [08:54] hey all, I have a bash script like this : http://pastebin.com/6UysYN6z . All I need is When i want to exec my gnome-terminal - I wnt to execute it with a starting 'pwd' that I'll mention [08:54] RJames_: what iso were you using? [08:54] codebrainz: I've got varying levels of experience in C, Perl, Java, and Python. [08:54] codebrainz: Oh, and some C++. [08:54] Is there a setting for gnome-terminal that can do it? I'm just too lazy to go thru the man pages.. [08:54] Dargon, ok, first do this sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [08:54] Dargon, and then try that ln -sv command again [08:54] RJames_: the server iso does Not work from USB - and im not sure ablut the alternative isntaller iso. [08:55] it was ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso [08:55] codebrainz: It's all the packaging voodoo that has eluded me. [08:55] how do I reload X without restarting my computer? [08:55] Pr0jectRec0n: cd there before the gnome-terminal command. [08:55] maxwellian, debian packaging? [08:55] RJames_: ok. that should of worked from USB. vie used that befor. [08:55] Pr0jectRec0n, thats pretty cool, never though of doin smthin like that [08:55] maxwellian: Pick a bug and try to fix it. Even if you hit a dead end, just the act of trying (and documenting how it went as explained in the blog post) will benefit Ubuntu. [08:55] Dr_Willis: now the source code shud be compiled by gcc? [08:55] RJames_: with a little work - you can set up grub2 ona flash drive and boot the iso files directly also. [08:55] 加入 [08:55] Jordan_U: There's probably a list of easy bugs out there? [08:56] quentin, /etc/init.d/gdm restart might do it [08:56] I might have to go that route [08:56] Zelozelos, :) - It was one my requests at the forums : this - >http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151379 [08:56] hahah: now you may want to read up on compiling and apt-get some.

[08:57] !apt-get | hahah [08:57] hahah: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [08:57] hahah: and the ubuntu book [08:57] !manual | hahah [08:57] hahah: 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/ [08:57] k [08:57] maxwellian, don't believe the slander! :) [08:57] I had high hopes when I plopped my USB drive in there and got the gui to come up with the login prompt... if only it had asked me for a user/password when it was building the flash drive. Did it prompt you while building the flash drive? [08:57] codebrainz: I am getting this when I use /etc/init.d/gdm restart: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [08:57] utility, e.g. service gdm restart [08:57] Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an [08:57] Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart gdm [08:57] codebrainz that simlink went to the images subdomain config, i need the 000-default to be the www. config [08:57] quentin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:57] codebrainz: I love Python, don't worry...I'm not swayed, however convincing asianmale is... :P [08:58] codebrainz: it doesn't even have proper anonymous functions, it has this ridiculous 'self' parameter that shows OO's tacked on roots, it's woefully underengineered, anything sophisticated in python becomes a 'symbol table hack'. [08:58] quentin, they changed stuff recently, do what that says [08:58] RJames_: It's not supposed to boot to a login prompt (if you used something like unetbootin). [08:58] RJames_ does ubuntu work live (livecd)? make the usb using ubuntus usb creator. Also, not sure about 9.10, 10.10 ya change between desktop, netbook, unity and so on at the login screen.... there all basically the same version.... no need to download duplicate iso(s) [08:59] asianmale: Well at least you said something with substance, but we're not going to start a Python conversation here. [08:59] RJames_ just get the netbook version(s) [08:59] ubuntu randomly crashes right? [08:59] heh [08:59] dreamer000: Uhhhh...hopefully not? :) [09:00] dreamer000: At least, it wasn't designed to do that, no. :) [09:00] codebrainz: I only used "restart gdm" and got: Warning: Fake initctl called, doing nothing. [09:00] asianmale, bs. define "proper anonymous functions" (like lambda?) and I've no idea what the rest of that was about, so? [09:01] quentin, I'm not sure with upstart [09:01] 有中国的朋友吗 [09:01] how to convert .mts to .mov, do you know a software that can do it?? [09:01] !cn [09:01] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:01] just trying to install@laptop 9.10 :-) [09:01] also, guys, regarding http://pastebin.com/6UysYN6z, what if I want to associate running this bash script to a keyboard shortcut ? Can I do it using System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts? [09:01] quentin, i just went into a console, stopped gdm, wget'd the sode, compiled, and rebooted, iirc [09:01] hacked_kernel: if its a video file of some kind. ffmpeg, and/or mencoder can proberly do it. [09:02] RJames_ 10.04 not 10.10.... [09:02] That is what I tried. I followed the little how-to on the ubuntu download page for netbook. step 1: download the 10.04-netbook iso. step 2: use the universal USB installer to get the iso on the flash drave. step 3: pop the drive in your netbook and boot from it. My problem is after it loads ubuntu from the flash drive.. ubuntu loads and gui login appears, only I never setup a user/pass so I can't get in. (sad face) [09:02] RJames_: and 'ubuntu' '' dont work [09:02] nope it didn't [09:02] RJames_: tried tjat flash drive on any other machines? [09:03] dreamer000: You're trying to install 9.10 on your laptop? [09:03] Dr_Willis, when using ffmpeg should i split audio and video then mix them together? because i tried to do it but i think i have the wrong parameters [09:03] RJames_ theres two options for the livecd 10.04 1. install 2. try There is no login prompt. [09:03] yes it doesn't do the job with acpi=off [09:03] hacked_kernel: theres so many options to those programs.. i wouldent be suprised at people using the wrong paramaters. [09:03] RJames_ unless you log out that is [09:03] RJames_: so what OS is on the macnhine now? [09:03] debian does [09:04] well tell that to my netbook. :P the menu came up. I selected try it out. First thing I got was a login. [09:04] i have installed the latest ubuntu and runing it in vmware..i installed gcc but the arrow keys do not work , please help :( [09:04] instead i get ^A etc... [09:04] RJames_: you do have ubuntu 10.04 on some machine ? You could try making a grub2 boot flash drive. that boots the iso file. [09:04] after trying numerous user/pass combos.. I tried the install option at the menu. doesn't do anything different. [09:04] @all, nevermind, figured it out... [09:04] nope.. This was going to be my first ubuntu machine. [09:04] nandonachi, in text-mode or in the GUI/X environment? [09:04] dreamer000: Sorry, what's your question? [09:05] RJames_: It does sound like some odd hardware issue with that flash drive, [09:05] I think I'll see what happens when I put it in a different machine. [09:05] RJames_: or some memory issue. Try other machines. Ive had odd machines that dont like some flash drives. [09:05] why does it work everywhere else? :-) [09:05] but ya.. I think after using unetbootin to try and build the drive.. and saw all those weird error messages on console. [09:05] codebrainz, i redownloaded the original 000-default file and made it do what i need, same problem with the virtual host [09:05] I think you are right.. it's the usb drive maybe. [09:06] Dargon, at this point I'd look for the #apache channel :) [09:06] codebrainz : in the gui mode [09:06] #httpd [09:06] I like ubuntu because of upgrade policiy :-) [09:06] Dr_Willis: In case you're interested, grub2's native shell scripting is not at the point where you can setup auto detection of isos at boot (creating a menu entry for each iso). It's been possible for a while with lua, but Debian/Ubuntu don't build grub2 with lua support. [09:06] im not a very experienced linux user... [09:06] Dr_Willis: s/not/now/ [09:06] nandonachi, where do you see the weird codes when you press the arrow? [09:06] dreamer000: Okay, so in a complete sentence...When you turn on ACPI, Ubuntu crashes on you "randomly"? [09:07] dreamer000: Just trying to piece it together. :) [09:07] you are a sport [09:07] codebrainz, sorry i was incorrect , the problem happens in vi editor :P [09:08] nandonachi, totally different. vi is like a rubix cube to me, I don't think I'll ever solve it [09:08] nandonachi: use vim. [09:08] as I explained: good media, cleaned cd-drive, no hope, just random. Have to investigate further. Except pulseaudio worrking on random desktops, except intel graphics. [09:09] nandonachi, or use nano if you're not a masochist [09:09] meh [09:10] prince_jammys, i won't go there anymore :) [09:10] codebrainz: vimtutor is a very good tutorial. Once you've been taught how to solve a rubix cube it's not that hard :) [09:10] codebrainz : lol , okay [09:10] codebrainz: thanks [09:10] nandonachi: there's always good old hjkl, or vim-full or whatever the package is called. [09:10] Jordan_U, don't wanna start a thing. i get along fine with my text/code editors :) [09:11] prince_jammys: but there is no such issue with ubuntu 8.10 [09:11] mm [09:11] dreamer000: Sorry, it's almost certainly my fault, but I don't understand what you're talking about. :P If you stick around, hopefully someone smarter than me will be able to help! [09:11] prince_jammys: the vi works fine in ubuntu 8.10 [09:12] nandonachi: arrow keys work OK otherwise in your terminal?? [09:12] prince_jammys : yes.. [09:12] nandonachi, is it ignoring you're arrow keys because you're not in the correct "mode" or whatever? [09:12] codebrainz: python sucks so bad [09:12] no, it's seeing them as cntrl-A and such. [09:12] codebrainz: i use the simple insert mode and editing mode nothing else :p [09:12] asianmale, if you want to discuss it, I'm on #python right now :) [09:13] home court advantage [09:13] codebrainz: Sweet, showdown. :) [09:13] prince_jammys, much more knowledgeable people than me :) [09:13] * maxwellian dodges the tumbleweed blowing across the dusty main street. [09:13] * prince_jammys just jokes about. [09:14] * Petskull robs the pine city stage [09:14] I really like python, but i can only compare it to the 5 or 6 other languages i use [09:14] hot4you? [09:14] nandonachi: well, i can't remember the solution to this, though i've witnessed it. is only vim-tiny installed? [09:14] anyone familiar with mencoder? [09:14] !anyone [09:14] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:15] phawx: i know it has a lot of docs at its homepage and a faq thats very good. and a good forum :) [09:15] prince:jammys : the default package which i think is vim tiny [09:15] Oh ubottu, are you always so direct? [09:15] does anyone here ask questions openly? [09:15] nandonachi: try vim-full [09:15] codebrainz, i got the virtual servers working, wanna tackle making my php mail directive work? [09:15] Petskull, what is the meaning of life? [09:15] 42 [09:15] prince_jammys: hmm [09:16] nandonachi: the default vim is 'vim tiny' - the normal vim package has better support and features. works with the arrow keys also [09:16] nandonachi: or not :) [09:16] !info vim [09:16] vim (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor. In component main, is optional. Version 2:7.2.330-1ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 844 kB, installed size 1672 kB [09:16] hi [09:16] Dargon, nope. check the php channel maybe [09:16] nandonachi: now you have to try it [09:16] If you're trying to use arrow keys, don't use vim. [09:16] I expect it to be a real acpi/bios issue i should have mentioned years ago... Something seams to go wrong autoconf my hardware [09:16] You're defeating the purpose, just use Nano. [09:16] arrow keys work fine with the normal 'vim' its the 'vim-tiny' that has them missing. [09:17] kanotix/lenny did do the job [09:17] prince_jammys: how can i install the full vim packaeg [09:17] nandonachi: install vim-full [09:17] or vim [09:17] ewww [09:17] sorry [09:17] prince_jammys: its just vim - now in 10.04 :) no -full that i can see [09:17] nandonachi: ^^ [09:18] k [09:18] Dr_Willis: They may work fine, but my point is that if you're using arrow keys, you are probably not using vim properly anyway. Might as well use something simpler like nano. [09:18] don't listen to these nanoers [09:18] nannys [09:18] hehehe [09:18] Dr_Willis: Er, not properly. [09:18] thanks a lot everyone [09:18] :D [09:18] maxwellian: i find nano basically useelss.. and i dont find that using the arrow keys matter much. :) [09:19] Dr_Willis: Nano has all the features that someone using arrow keys with vim would be using. :P [09:19] prince_jammys, my fav text-mode editor was msedit :) (or maybe the borland legacy ide) [09:19] maxwellian: you're editor-profiling him! [09:20] maxwellian: ive had to explain way to many people what ^-Q means.. i dont reccomend nano to anyone [09:20] maybe he/she/it uses arrow keys plus a bunch of other vim stuffs. [09:20] it's nice that 10.04 has the nano highlighting on by default! [09:20] prince_jammys: You bet I am! This country used to be full of good, vi-loving citizens! [09:20] There was some dos edit clone i saw ages ago.. but cant recall where is aw it it. cant find it int he repos either. [09:20] codebrainz: now if it only had a startup message that ^ = the control key. :) [09:20] anyone wanna help me make sendmail work? [09:20] Hello, my evince-thumbnailer is taking 100% cpu.. restarts every time I do a killall -9. any suggestions.. === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32Lg [09:21] stop -9ing [09:21] Dr_Willis: vim is not a tool for the novice user, though. a simpler editor is a better idea. [09:22] Dr_Willis: Oh, but all the newbies just type :q without even thinking about it... :P [09:22] sendmail isnt sending any mail using the php mail function any suggestions? I have checked logs and made sure the php.ini is configured properly? [09:22] vim could be a tool also for. [09:22] the questioner explicitly asked for vim; 'twasn't pushing upon him/her [09:22] I've been coding for some years now, all i need is a box to type in with a save function [09:22] maxwellian: i never said to suggest vim for them. [09:22] maxwellian: ive said for years that they need somthing better then nano. [09:23] "ne" is probably the best editor for someone new to the *nix command line [09:23] Dr_Willis, yeah, nano is crude [09:23] mneptok: yea. i cant find that Dos edit one - it was in some disrto.. but ive looked and looked.. :) [09:23] mcedit isent too hard to use either. but its not totally clear that one uses the 'F keys' to do the menus [09:23] Dr_Willis: try ne. it's what my 75 year old father uses. :) [09:23] hey the new version of firefox blows, how do I get a non sucky version? [09:24] can I get synaptic to roll it back? [09:24] Taev: Ha. :) [09:24] its crashing repeatedly [09:24] details .... [09:24] Taev: odd.. its not crashed once on me. [09:24] Ive got Firefox 3.6.6. [09:24] this is the 10th crash today [09:24] its crashed over and over [09:24] what causes the crash? [09:25] *triggers [09:25] nothing, like just now I opened cnn [09:25] Dr_Willis: I was introduced to Unix by an old-timer, I learned vi, no ifs ands or buts. I don't know anything about Nano, so you're probably right about needing a better newbie editor. I just think a newbie editor is a good thing. [09:25] mneptok: ne is very close to what i was thinking of.. I would have to say it would be a better editor then Nano. [09:25] maxwellian: ne [09:25] before that, i started it up with a blank homepage and it crashed [09:26] Dr_Willis: i use nano due to years and years of pine usage. [09:26] maxwellian: yea. ne is definatly easier for betinners. [09:26] Taev: ok, now you have a better irc question :) [09:26] Taev: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes#Getting_help_with_your_crash ; http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+you+open+it#Getting_your_crash_report -- please fetch a crash id and paste it here [09:26] Taev what plugin, maybe? [09:26] Dr_Willis, mneptok: I'll have to look into that, could be a good recommendation. [09:27] Looking for help on an issue, had a 10.4 desktop running and encrypted two sata drives with the integrated disk manager, the HD running the desktop gave out and now I'm trying to figure out how to mount the 2 drives in my ubuntu server 10.4. Any help is greatly appreciated! [09:27] ne - needs to put the info about hiting 'escape escape' in the title to access the menus. the editor i saw. I thouight had a menu bar up there with a message like that.. but ne is very close to whats needed [09:27] at least the ne startup screen gives info on ^ = ctrl and so forth [09:27] theres nothing in .mozilla/crash reports [09:27] Dr_Willis: Yeah, that's probably useful. :) [09:27] installtime2 and userid [09:27] no "submitted" folder [09:28] how can it be a plugin causing it to crash, when it crashes on my homepage which is a blank page [09:28] mneptok: Nano is similar to pine in the interface? (Because of said old-timer I grew up with mutt.) [09:28] !brainstorm [09:28] Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [09:28] do a brainstorm to replace nano with ne :) [09:28] Taev: Unable to get crash ID? [09:29] there is no crash ID [09:29] Dr_Willis: Did you start it already? [09:29] maxwellian: pico was the default pine editor. nano is a pico clone under a Free license. [09:29] /home/djs/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports [09:29] Taev: run this in Terminal after completely closing Firefox: firefox -safe-mode [09:29] theres 2 files [09:29] mneptok: Ah, thanks. [09:29] InstallTime2, and UserID [09:29] Taev:libraries like xul or something like that? [09:29] maxwellian: not yet. :) web is slow for me right now [09:29] I'm confused. In chromium adobe flash works without a problem but in firefox it doesn't....why? [09:29] for the 1% of the time i use a text-mode editor, nano is fine. otherwise i just use geany [09:29] maxwellian: checking out iother editors also. [09:29] codebrainz: yea. geany is what i use 90% of the time on X/gui [09:29] Dr_Willis: You can IRC okay? Just use lynx. ;) [09:30] maxwellian: i got other stuff downloading. so im laggy.. :) [09:30] ahaha [09:30] Dr_Willis, can't go wrong with Geany! (Even on windows) [09:30] it crashed on safe mode [09:30] soon as i loaded a page [09:30] maxwellian: and no *nix "old-timer" started with Mutt. Mutt's first release was in the mid-1990s, IIRC. ;) [09:30] mneptok: No one said he STARTED with mutt... ;) [09:30] theres still no crash report [09:31] it crashed in SAFE MODE, look is there a way to roll back to the last version of firefox i had [09:31] the one that actually worked [09:31] Taev, launch it in safemode [09:31] i just did [09:31] firefox -safe-mode [09:31] and it crashed [09:31] ok [09:31] mneptok: But I think mutt is popular with old timers by now. [09:31] then make new profile [09:31] firefox -P [09:31] maxwellian: "it just sucks less" (tm) [09:32] mneptok: Ahhh, marketing. :) [09:32] I still miss the 'CygnusED' editor i used on My Amiga. :) but its all a matter of what you are used to. [09:32] fte is also a neat powerfull console editor. [09:32] ok I did firefox -P [09:32] created a new profile [09:32] Dr_Willis: Hold on, I need to write these down. ne and fte so far... [09:32] and it CRASHED [09:32] maxwellian, Dr_Willis mneptok: are discussing ideas on different text editors or is there an actual ubuntu related problem with them? [09:32] Hello everyone! Is this channel the right one if I seek help because update from karmic to lucid was not successful and now my system hangs on boot, being stuck in grub? [09:32] Segmentation fault [09:33] Taev: check for the issue in the new profile, is it crashing then? ('firefox -P' launches profile manager) [09:33] ok [09:33] andimeier: yes. === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [09:33] i created a new profile [09:33] Taev: new profile crashed ---- means you have to reinstall Firefox [09:33] and it crashed [09:33] Pirate_Hunter: i just discovered a bug with the 'fte' editor. :) [09:33] hii... can anyone help with the wireless setup on my ubuntu? [09:33] y'all, yes there is a bug in gedit 2 [09:33] yeah, now how do i get rid of this stupid ass version and reinstall the old version that actually worked? [09:33] Dr_Willis, really continue than don't mind me *whistle* [09:34] Pirate_Hunter: Oooh, is it easy? Maybe I can finally fix a bug. :) [09:34] Pirate_Hunter: a big one.. it cant be ran as a normal user.. off to file a bug report on it. [09:34] it says "device not ready" even after turning on the wireless device... [09:34] Taev: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Clean_reinstall [09:34] Pirate_Hunter: yea. i notice a lot of these 'older' packages dont get as much love/attention as they should. Sad to see them get lost in the background. [09:34] what is the GUI tools you ppl recommend for ripping CD too AAC ? [09:34] AC? [09:35] AAC? [09:35] and in network tools it shows the state of the wlan0 interface as "inactive" [09:35] wildbat: SoundJuicer with appropriate GStreamer plugins. [09:35] so, I have never tried linux [09:35] ddavids, do you have a specific issue? [09:35] Taev: Unless you're on the bleeding edge, a bug that big would probably have been caught and fixed right now. [09:35] its 3.6.6 [09:35] anyone wanna talk to a kewl windows user? [09:35] Taev: By now, rather. [09:35] pm [09:35] Dr_Willis, I am not even aware of most older packages except mutt and pine which I need to get it working with my server email [09:35] codebrainz: i get errors when trying to save with it on the terminal [09:36] ddavids, pastebin the errors [09:36] codebrainz [09:36] Taev: Is that the regular version for lynx? [09:36] i like your handle [09:36] You must be a great person. [09:36] damn it, where is the old firefox releases on mozilla.com ? [09:36] nOgAnOo, i bought it for $50,000CAD [09:36] sendmail isnt sending any mail using the php mail function any suggestions? I have checked logs and made sure the php.ini is configured properly? [09:36] Taev: (Sorry, I'm still on karmic) [09:37] oh, sorry, your currency is worth nothing now since the release of my nOgBucks [09:37] wildbat, rubyripper as ive been told its the best or so some websites claim however specifically for ACC (which I think its the itunes version) I am not sure [09:37] Taev: did you add a PPA or enable backports to get this new version? [09:37] no adept update manager installed it [09:37] seriously, how do i get rid of this version and install the previous version i had? [09:38] mneptok, Pirate_Hunter , thanks [09:38] !pin | Taev [09:38] Taev: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [09:38] Taev: i thought the new version only got installed if you had backports enabled also. [09:38] bkerensa: You might have more luck in a channel specific to php or sendmail. [09:38] hi how to play format wma in ubuntu??? [09:38] do you guys take lessons on how to evade direct questions?

[09:39] Taev: No way, natural talent. [09:39] ok thanks [09:39] nOgAnOo: did you have a support question? [09:39] Only time ive had to use older versions of some packages was with wine and some games. [09:39] i just redownloaded firefox 3.6.6. and did a clean install [09:39] it crashed [09:39] Taev, if you remove firefox it may remove ubuntu destop and gnome at least it used to its a touchy situation that will require giving more help and to why FF is crashing for you even in safe-mode I am dazzled [09:39] Taev: redownloaded? from teh firefox web site? [09:40] yes [09:40] Taev: move your ~/.mozilla directory aside and see if it crashes. [09:40] Taev: its best to use the package manager. not downloading stuff from teh FF web site. that may be the core of your whole problem [09:40] just mv it to a new file name? [09:40] Taev: sure [09:40] I didn't download the update to 3.6.6. originally from the website, Adept Package manager did it [09:40] hey. can anyone help me with my wireless problem?

[09:41] how do i change window buttons to go from left to right? [09:41] Taev: no. [09:41] cantmountanyhd, pastebin the errors [09:41] then where can I find the previous version of firefox's .deb package [09:41] i can't seem to find it on mozilla.com [09:41] codebrainz: roger [ btw these are fully accessible hard drives through windows 7] [09:41] codebrainz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PJVbNftY [09:41] Dr_Willis: What is the default version of Firefox in lynx? [09:42] tamara, Change your theme... [09:42] Taev, run FireFox in terminal and check for errors [09:42] Taev: why are you installing things from mozillia.com ? why are you not using the package manager [09:42] maxwellian: as released? or as updated? [09:42] I already did Pirate_Hunter [09:42] i ran it in safe mode too [09:42] it crashed [09:42] seg fault [09:42] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PJVbNftY [09:42] tamara, right click, on desktop, change desktop background >theme..and choose from there. [09:42] alasca, ok, i got it [09:42] thanks [09:43] * Taev bangs head. I did use the package manager to install this infernal 3.6.6., some one just now suggested i do a clean install so i downloaded the package from mozilla.com [09:43] ok... the wireless works on my windows, but since i installed ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition it does not recognize any wireless connections.. and when i disable and enable network connections it says "device not ready" under wireless connections.. [09:43] cannot play VLC [09:43] Taev, did you remove it instead of using purge and than did you remove its profile hidden in ~/ if not you didnt do much [09:43] No suitable decoder module: [09:43] VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmap". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. [09:43] !info firefox [09:43] firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 10976 kB, installed size 29648 kB [09:43] VLC cannot ply wma format [09:43] Hmm. did they update firefox in teh main repos? [09:43] ddavids, it's hard to tell from that, can you try with a smaller file (like 100 lines-ish) [09:43] look could some one please point me to a directory with a deb package for the previous version of firefox [09:43] flames: i think it depends on the codec to some degree. [09:43] thats all im asking for [09:44] and in the devices tab in network tools, the wlan0 interface shows as "inactive" state [09:44] what is that image posting site like pastebin ? let me upload the screenshot [09:44] Dr_Willis, I have a question, why firefox isn't in the repositories as it is, with no extra things...? [09:44] so how to playing wma format in ubuntu??? [09:44] Dr_Willis, As it is like the version you get from firefox website... [09:44] flames, You need ubuntu restricted package. [09:44] cantmountanyhd, can't just paste the text? [09:44] !restricted package [09:44] flames: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras] [09:45] -] [09:45] ok [09:45] codebrainz: naw, cant copy it [09:45] after upgrading to lucid, I cannot boot anymore, I suppose the culprit is my "special" configuration: software RAID5 which is not recognized/configured anymore. now I'm stuck in grub: "error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found" [09:45] Taev: Obviously you're frustrated, we get that. No one's trying to evade your question, we're trying to figure out the best solution. Believe it or not, people coming in here don't always know the best solution to their problem. [09:45] Taev: run synaptic, search for firefox, use package -> force version menu item [09:45] I was asking about this in offtopic but no help. if anyonw knows then reply other wise ignore. How to add gadges to google desktop sidebar? (I know this is crossposting. I wait for so many mintus but no help) [09:45] the best solution is just installing the last version of firefox that actually worked [09:46] cantmountanyhd, this comes up in google: http://imagebin.ca/ [09:46] I can't seem to find a .deb for that [09:46] hehe... THeres NOT a Deb for that [09:46] Taev: I'll ask again - why are you getting packages from outside the package manager [09:46] parody of the Iphone [09:46] Taev: theres other packages that it may alwo need. so its 'best' to use synaptic. to downgrade the version [09:46] ikonia: Because he was doing a fresh install. [09:46] ikonia: because he misinterpreted "clean install" to mean that. [09:46] and I'll answer again. I DIDN'T. I only downloaded it from mozilla.com just now, for the clean re-install [09:46] Taev: that's not the best solution. the best solution is to determine why Firefox gives you such problems, but not others. [09:46] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L89n0rbQ [09:46] maxwellian: but why go from outside the repos ? [09:47] codebrainz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L89n0rbQ [09:47] ikonia: Because he thought that's what you're supposed to do. [09:47] abhi_nav: i thought i just dragged them over there to the side bar last i used google gadgets. or right clciked on teh sidebar and added them [09:47] ah, he's not actually installed it yet [09:47] codebrainz: http://yfrog.com/j0screenshothrp [09:47] Hi. I was looking at a friends laptop yesterday. I saw a button on the same row as the help, wireless and power buttons. It has a symbol on it that kind of looks like this: http://michaelgr.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/radioactive-001.png What is its function? I pressed it but nothing happened! The laptop model is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L1310G [09:47] ddavids, yeah, i can't tell from that, those eerors are useless, try it with a file that is less than 50K lines, more like 20-100 lines long [09:48] Dr_Willis, do I need to install sidebar separately? i installed google desktop but there is no sidebar anywhere [09:48] Belserusk: that is nothing to do with ubuntu [09:48] thanks Dr_Willis [09:48] anyone who can help me out here? wireless connection shows up as "device not ready" even after turning on wireless [09:48] abhi_nav: its been ages since i last used it. and i hate the side bar. [09:48] Dr_Willis, ok [09:48] ok.. so I get the phantom login on my desktop system as well [09:48] codebrainz: will this help? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L89n0rbQ [09:49] so I suppose my USB drive is suspect [09:49] you know I used to love Ubuntu, but now it seems its moving away from doing what users want, and doing what you think they should do instead, its just like the other day when I asked how to log in as root [09:49] no one wanted to say run kuser and set a password for root, it was "oh no" use sudo, [09:49] ddavids, heh, no. do you have a massive text file open? [09:49] abhi_nav: i just right cluicked on the sidebar. add gadgets - sleected one.. and it went to the sidebar [09:49] @Jayant: Update the OS. [09:49] Taev, you should delete your current firefox profile found hidden in your home directory, than purge firefox and install whatever version you want usinf sudo aptitude/apt-get install firefox-2/3.0/3.5 etc [09:49] Taev: this channel has policies. you don't have to follow them, just don't expect answers for that here. [09:49] Taev: If I just bought a gun from a gun store and asked the owner how to shoot myself in the foot, do you think it's a good idea for him to show me? [09:49] Dr_Willis, yah I know that but for that atleast the sidebar bar should be ther naa? but it is not there? :( [09:49] no [09:49] abhi_nav: if you dont see a sidebar. check the settings in teh google gadgets appleticon [09:50] Taev: because running as root is dangerous, is not supported, and will not be discussed on this channel per policy. [09:50] Dr_Willis, ok [09:50] abhi_nav: it can show/hide it. :) logical eh [09:50] cantmountanyhd, easiest solution is to boot back into windows and shutdown properly [09:50] to expand on your analogy, if i bought the gun then its MINE. I can do whatever I want with it. [09:50] @ezhackxx update the OS? i have ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition.. [09:50] Dr_Willis, ok i wll check it [09:50] Taev: Absolutely, it is. [09:50] codebrainz: but i have done it so many times [09:50] and i cant get onilne from ubuntu to update or download any packages either.. [09:50] Taev: i think you need to accept that Firefox is probably not the issue, and something about your configuration is. [09:51] codebrainz: restart through windows is a proper shut down right ? [09:51] Taev: But people are generally nice enough to provide you with information that is in your best interest. [09:51] damn it i did what Dr_Willis said to do [09:51] can anybody knows where is uid of hard-disk is [09:51] and it reinstalled 3.6.6. [09:51] cantmountanyhd, should be [09:51] Taev: Even if you rail against it for some reason. [09:51] and it just crashed again [09:51] @Jayant Some driver do not come in default [09:51] codebrainz: then i have done it more than a few times [09:51] cantmountanyhd, you can mount with the --force option, by doing it manually [09:51] Taev: as i said before, move aside your Firefox profile or test with the guest account. [09:51] ya i tried that command in the error msg .. didnt work [09:51] look there has got to be a directory online with the default install packages [09:51] Taev: if you 'installed' firefox from teh firefox download page. You may need to remove that. or you may be accidently running that version [09:51] says i need to be a root [09:51] Taev, delete your frigging profile your still using the old firefox folders [09:51] a version of firefox other than 3.6.6. [09:52] codebrainz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PuxLjbR5 [09:52] Taev, i've posted the same thing dont know how many times [09:52] i have terminal open .. i know some sudo or something .. not sure [09:52] @Jayant: I experienced the same probs. Had to connect with a LAN Cable to do that [09:52] Taev: if you truely insrtalled ff 3.6.3 - then it is downloaded to the /var/cache/apt dir [09:52] cantmountanyhd, if you feel confident, use 'sudo' before the command [09:52] i wiped out that directory last week [09:52] to get space [09:52] @ezhackxx is there a way to download the drivers from windows and install them on ubuntu later? [09:52] and the version i downloaded from mozilla.com to test the clean install was a tar.bz2 that I ran locally from my home folder [09:52] i didn't install it [09:53] ddavids, heh, it's that those single line errors mean nothing to me. if you can't provide actual more errors, i can't tell from those pastebins [09:53] @Jayant: Don't think so [09:53] ddavids, it's not enough for me to go on [09:53] ok, i see but i have no idea how to generate more errors [09:53] jayant, which drivers? [09:53] codebrainz: your gay as hell lol [09:54] for my wireless connection.... it says "device not ready" [09:54] jayant, the only time I would think of doing that is to be used with an application running wine and you should be able to using firefox unless the site specifically wants you to use IE but than you could try the user agent plugin to bypass that [09:54] @Jayant: If you can lay your hand on a TPLINK Wireless USB Dongle [09:54] didnt work [09:54] ddavids, when you run from the console, do : gedit 1>>logfile.txt 2>>logfile.txt and then see if anything interesting is in logfile.txt [09:54] mneptok, thank you [09:54] @Jayant: Its driver is preinstalled [09:54] * mneptok bows [09:55] @ezhackxx whats that?? [09:55] ah anyways , i will go to windows, boot .. and will say shut down .. wont help but no harm in trying [09:55] cantmountanyhd, worth a try, then come back and fix if it doesn't work [09:55] Dr_Willis: What did you have Taev do, reinstall? [09:55] how can i know? when i try to see the list of hardware drivers nothing shows up [09:55] please would some one give me a url that has a .deb for a version of firefox before 3.6.6 [09:55] Im begging you [09:56] stop that. [09:56] maxwell_, Dr_Willis : I think the problem might be his profile folder in home but I don't think they understand what I meant [09:56] maxwellian: use synaptic and select teh older version.. Not sure if he did it properly or not. and IF he did install 3.6.3 the .deb should be in his /var/cache/apt but i dont think hes looked. [09:56] Pirate_Hunter: possibaly. [09:57] all i can find on FTP Directory trees are the .ISO for ubuntu [09:57] I can't find the packages [09:57] Taev: We're not hiding anything from you. Trust me, if I had the link I'd give it to you. [09:57] Taev: Thousands of people are running that version of Firefox. [09:57] Dr_Willis, I get the feeling they are not doing anything that has been suggested and instead just asking about the .deb which wont help them [09:58] Taev: if you did use synaptic to install teh older version just now - it would be saved in /var/cache/apt/archives [09:59] !info firefox [09:59] firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 10976 kB, installed size 29648 kB [09:59] why bother? he/she invented that getting a different version of Firefox is the solution. [09:59] Taev, how long you've been using ubuntu, ok im going to give you step by step instructions which you should follow were going to purge firefox, delete its folder and reinstall it again [09:59] file:///var/cache/apt/archives/firefox-3.0_3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2_all.deb [09:59] thats what it installed === mikolapiz is now known as miK_olapiz [09:59] apt-get install iceweasel [09:59] when i selected force, and 3.whatever [09:59] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/ [10:00] Taev, sudo aptitude update (just for the sake of it), than sudo aptitude purge firefox (that willl remove all its components do read what the screen tells you) [10:00] hi there, sorry i am asking how to use filezilla in ubuntu. i cannot find the edit in filezilla in order to change my settings. please advise. [10:00] I'm tired and defeated. My mystery login seems to stem either from the USB or the particular netbook iso since I get the same behavior from my netbook and desktop. Tomorrow I'll try a different ubuntu ISO that I've already downloaded. Then if that fails, I think I'll try with different flavor of linux. If all of that fails. I will renouce all technology and join monkdom. [10:01] Taev, you want older version of ff and it is not availabl on internet? [10:01] hi there, sorry i am asking how to use filezilla in ubuntu. i cannot find the edit in filezilla in order to change my settings. please advise. i have seen screenshots in tutorials that it is there. but not on my fielzilla. i am using lucid 10.0.4 [10:01] Zeu5, i am certain filezilla is an application and you can change its settings through the preferrences menu [10:01] RJames_, I sell wooden CPUs on the weekends, very *not tech* [10:01] there i just did a complete removal of firefox 3.6.6. [10:01] good riddance [10:01] abhi_nav, actually it is but I dont thing they know about sudo or commandline but than synaptic has been suggested [10:02] codebrainz: please send me your catalog. [10:02] hi Pirate_Hunter u mean by system > preferences? it is not there [10:02] now im going to try this firefox_3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4_i386.deb [10:02] * maxwellian sighs. [10:02] Taev, you mean you sudo aptitude purge firefox? are you sure I need to be certain [10:02] Pirate_Hunter, Taev what I suggest you is go to firefox channel. atleast one of them have older version of firefox. so they will upload it for you on their website. your sent you throu some link. see that [10:03] ok fellas and non-fellas. You take care. Thanks for all your suggestions and helps and the oh-so-good-times [10:03] sigh. [10:03] Pirate_Hunter: Dude, give up. [10:03] RJames_, http://www.bizrate.com/learning-toys/wooden-abacus-toys/ [10:03] Zeu5, filezilla is an application you need to start it than set your preferences [10:03] codebrainz: LOL. too advanced for me. [10:03] Anyone can help me with a termios problem ? [10:03] RJames_, night :) [10:03] Pirate_Hunter: i already started it. i really cannot find this file, edit, etc [10:03] dpkg: error processing firefox (--install): [10:03] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [10:03] Errors were encountered while processing: [10:03] firefox [10:03] RESULT=1 [10:03] Taev: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:03] [10:03] Pirate_Hunter: I understand the frustration on their end, but I've never seen someone so disinterested in actually solving a problem. [10:03] Pirate_Hunter: that is why i find it so werid [10:03] maxwellian, I will than start calling troll and block them until than doing step by step removal is not that difficult [10:04] Taev: install firefox with aptitude. [10:04] Zeu5, why do you find it weird? [10:04] it will just install 3.6.6 [10:04] * Dr_Willis waits ffor Taev 's older firefox to also crash. [10:04] I don't want 3.6.6. since its buggy [10:04] it wouldn't install [10:04] Taev: install it. [10:04] Zeu5, http://filezilla-project.org/client_screenshots.php that is how it looks like [10:04] Pirate_Hunter: because they all say the same thing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=733697 [10:04] I did have some conflicts with trying to downgrade to 3.6.3 just now.. but i have a lot of extra stuff installed. [10:04] Pirate_Hunter: i dont have Edit. [10:05] prince_jammys, dont tell him to install it they must remove it the profile directory first [10:05] Pirate_Hunter: he's done so. [10:05] or at least said he did. [10:05] either way, he can remove it after reinstalling. [10:05] Taev, did you remove it and please use my name [10:05] there i did as Pirate_Hunter suggested, sudo aptitude update, then sudo aptitude purge firefox [10:06] prince_jammys, true but im doing baby steps somehting I rarely do [10:06] now what? [10:06] Taev: try running 'firefox' from the terminal and see if it runs [10:06] Dr_Willis: Gah, hold on. [10:06] I already did that, and I did firefox -safe-mode, they crashed [10:06] now i just purged firefox [10:06] so I can't do it again [10:06] Taev, good, now go to your home directory, which has the folders Documents, Downloads etc and press ctrl+H to show hidden folders [10:07] Taev: so 'firefox' now gives a 'command not found' ? [10:07] you want me to delete .mozilla? [10:07] is that it [10:07] Dr_Willis: I don't think he ever got an older version to install. [10:07] Taev: Avoid deleting anything until you know that's the problem just rename it. [10:07] yeah Dr_Willis [10:07] Zeu5, huh? I dont know what your following but filezilla can be installed from synaptic or command line [10:07] Taev, apt-get --reinstall --purge install firefox, try that? [10:07] codebrainz: Gah, wait. [10:08] Pirate_Hunter: see this http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/7ZWUAtHfPxUXxTmbAgKlqg?feat=directlink [10:08] Ill rename .mozilla to .moz366sucks [10:08] !info firefox [10:08] firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 10976 kB, installed size 29648 kB [10:08] Taev, justt delete it [10:08] there its done [10:08] So they Put the ff Updates in 'main' not backports it seems. [10:08] now what? apt-get install firefox ? [10:09] Zeu5, what window manager do you have? [10:09] Pirate_Hunter: i think its gnome? [10:09] Pirate_Hunter: sorry i am very noob. i dont even know the difference between kde and gnome etc [10:09] well since no one answered, i just did apt-get install firefox [10:09] Pirate_Hunter: how do i check ? [10:09] Taev: Smart move. [10:10] Taev, check the config folder for nay remains of firefolx/mozilla files or folders even knowing I think you removed it all after that do sudo aptitude search firefox and tell me which version you want [10:10] Taev: I wonder how you end with configurations that crash... [10:10] it crashed [10:10] ok, guess i have to purge again [10:11] Taev, apt-get --reinstall --purge install firefox, try that? [10:11] what does "score is -172" do you accept this solution, mean? [10:11] it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop [10:11] wtf [10:11] that's ok. [10:11] Taev, it will reinstall, it's just a metapackage [10:11] Yeah it's a bit funny like that [10:11] Zeu5, it should tell you on start up or you can go to system>administrator>and one of the option there tells you your system info [10:12] Anyone remember the name of dictionary software that allows you to search words that you click for example on irc or web browser such as babylon [10:12] System monitor [10:12] codebrainz: Really? Why is it set up that way? [10:12] Dr_Willis, care to help me here I need to know how identify which version of ubuntu Zeu5 is using? [10:12] !version [10:12] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [10:12] Sagaci, thanks [10:12] I mean babylon is the windows program that is not freeware [10:12] Pirate_Hunter: i am using lucid. 10.0.4 [10:12] maxwellian, they make one metapackage, and that installs all the stuff they want on top of the base system [10:12] ah, must have been stardict [10:13] I did aptitude search firefox and it just lists a bunch of extension packages [10:13] and dummy packages [10:13] no specific versions [10:13] Zeu5, ok you are using gnome [10:13] maxwellian, you could make a package depend on anything, like all the kde packages (kubuntu-desktop) etc. [10:13] firefox -safe-mode Segmentation Fault [10:13] codebrainz: I get that, but why would they remove the desktop metapackage if you're removing firefox? [10:13] Pirate_Hunter: yes i just found it. its gnome. according to the login screen [10:13] codebrainz: Surely other things depend on it? [10:14] Taev, you looking for the ones that say firefo-2, firefox-3.0 etc choose which version you want than do sudo aptitude install that [version type] [10:14] Pirate_Hunter: so whats next? === mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin [10:14] maxwellian, because ubuntu-desktop depends on firefox [10:14] brb [10:14] codebrainz: Oh, duh. I didn't know that. [10:14] Zeu5, I am just wondering if you open nautilus does the same thing happen? [10:14] maxwellian, but removing ubuntu-desktop just removes the meta-packages, not all that it depends on [10:14] maxwellian: no, a metapackage is just a hack so that when you install it, it auto-installs a bunch of packages. Once you remove any of _those_ packages, the metapackage can be (must be) removed. [10:14] Pirate_Hunter: on any folders? [10:15] Pirate_Hunter: i see the file edit etc when i open a folder [10:15] maxwellian: i.e. the metapackage contains _nothing_ but a list of dependencies. [10:15] Zeu5, on any folder as that would be global or do all your application open like that [10:15] Like ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:15] Pirate_Hunter: right now i am using chatzilla and i also can see its edit, etc [10:15] maxwellian, it's just an easy way to install all the packages that make "ubuntu" in one "fictional" package [10:15] Pirate_Hunter: only filezilla apparently is missing the file edit.etc [10:16] Pretty good hack [10:16] Hi .. I installed ubuntu on a new computer (lucid, 64 bit) and copied over my /home and installed packages. However, I get some widgets in wierd colors . as if the theme hasn't applied. This is with both compiz and metacity. [10:16] codebrainz: Okay, so all the things that supposedly depend on ubuntu-desktop are still there. [10:16] correct [10:16] hello [10:16] Some screenshots : http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=162366&d=1278230001 , http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=162367&d=1278230001 [10:16] maxwellian, all the things that ubuntu-desktop depends on remain in tact [10:17] anyone knows a psd-viewer for ubuntu? [10:17] codebrainz: Oh, so I have it backwards? [10:17] maxwellian: err, backwords. all the things ubuntu-desktop depends on. [10:17] *wards [10:17] ok, I have mozilla's crappy 3.6.6 installed now [10:17] Zeu5, weird I just installed it myself and your saying it is only filezilla that has the problem [10:17] it keeps crashing saying seg fault [10:17] prince_jammys, codebrainz: Thanks, I'll have to look into these metapackages more. [10:18] maxwellian, grab a .deb package, extract it with file-roller and have a look at the contents, it'll all make sense... also see Debian Package Maintainer's Guide [10:18] Pirate_Hunter: perhaps i need to reinstall it/ [10:18] win xp on virtualbox is not detecting my usb scanner eventhough i have made a usb filter for the scanner in vb setting [10:18] do i have to uninstall firefox, to install one of the other versions, Pirate_Hunter [10:18] Taev: you should explore why this is happening. [10:18] a buggy version of 3.6.6 [10:18] Zeu5, I wouldve thouth it happened to all your applications I would start suggesting a reinstall which you just typed but would purge it first and its files from home [10:18] says who? [10:18] because the last version worked fine [10:18] occams razor [10:19] Pirate_Hunter: how do i export all my settings first? [10:19] crevillo, evince? [10:19] Good morning, If I'm trying to get a VGA analog display device to show picture through a DVI port (with an adapter), and am having problems detecting it with NVIDIA control panel in Ubuntu, is it most likely an xorg.conf issue? Thanks [10:19] Taev: ah, and your system is identical in every way to the old working firefox except for firefox version? [10:19] don't know it, let's try :) [10:19] Taev, most of the times you dont as it will replace the current version but you do need to delete the firefox folderhidden in home [10:19] thanks codebrainz [10:19] i did Pirate_Hunter [10:19] crevillo, or epdf, both great [10:19] well i mv'ed it [10:19] Taev: Not only that, but the thousands of either people using that version just haven't noticed that their browser doesn't actually run. [10:19] ill delete it [10:20] thanks again, codebrainz [10:20] Taev: Other, rather. [10:20] crevillo, yo [10:20] Normally, you describe your problem and others provide solutions. You don't provide the solution yourself. [10:20] Zeu5, those would most likely be in /etc/filezilla or hidden in you ~/[your name]/.filezilla/... [10:20] midori to the rescue ! /sarcasm [10:20] matt____: A DVI to VGA adapter typically prevents your computer from collecting the EDID data from your monitor. The EDID data tells the computer the performance characteristics of the monitor. [10:21] Taev, than yeah just install it, good luck if all fails stick to another browser === PHANTOM is now known as Guest92799 [10:21] Taev: The worst case scenario is that this IS actually a very critical bug, in which case we need to report it, not just curse it and hope that next time you update it doesn't happen again. [10:22] I just deleted the .mozilla directory [10:22] and I did a complete removal of firefox [10:22] matt____: A work around I've used in the past is getting the EDID data using the nvidia-settings tool and then using a CustomEDID reference in the Xorg conf file. [10:22] eoke: Oh, I never knew that. Do you know if it's possible to give the EDID data manually? [10:22] eoke: Oh - thanks. I'll look into that. [10:23] now do the aptitude search firefox? [10:23] Taev: yes [10:23] * prince_jammys giggles. [10:23] matt____: I wasn't very clear sorry the nvidia-settings tool needs to be connected via DVI to save the EDID data to a file. [10:23] let's try it fifteen times, maybe it works now. [10:23] which package should I install? firefox 2., firefox 3 [10:23] they say they are dummy packages [10:24] I want a version other than 3.6.6. [10:24] you don't really know what you want. [10:24] you want firefox to work, that's what you want. [10:24] i wonder if its a bad package/download. but it has checksums for that [10:24] Taev, apt-get --reinstall --purge install firefox, try that? [10:24] Try chromium [10:24] fine ill try that right now [10:24] don't invent what the problem is [10:24] ah, the up arrow key [10:25] 3.6.6 is the default. so thast will put 3.6.6 back on [10:25] Dr_Willis: Why is it the default? I'm seeing articles from last week describing how to install 3.6.6 on Ubuntu. [10:25] i did it [10:25] it crashed again [10:25] !info firefox [10:25] firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 10976 kB, installed size 29648 kB [10:25] maxwellian: that factoid says its 3.6.6 now in main [10:26] Pirate_Hunter: how do i purge my previous installation of filezilla? [10:26] so now that I've done that. How do I install a version of firefox other than 3.6.6. [10:26] maxwellian: i thought it was added to backports..but it seems they Updated main [10:26] Taev, have you run it from the terminal, to see what it's telling you is wrong? [10:26] sudo apt-get purge filezilla [10:26] Segmentation Fault [10:26] codebrainz: He said it was just a seg fault. [10:26] bleak [10:26] eoke: Sorry I don't understand fully... what do you mean nvidia-settings tool needs to be connected via DVI? Thanks [10:27] Look this shit only started when I updated to 3.6.6., so I want to install the previous package I had and see if it works [10:27] if it works then its 3.6.6. is buggy, if it doesn't it means its a problem with my system [10:27] Zeu5, your problem seems to be unique only one listing of it and that has got no response coincidently it might have been you asking in ubuntu forums [10:27] there has got to be a directory ubuntu keeps of all the files they include with a release [10:27] 3.6.6 works fine here :) [10:28] so you're saying it can't possibly be a buggy package, and that trying it my way is a waste of time? [10:28] codebrainz: which is why i wonder if his package is the issue.it may be currupted [10:28] because it works for your system... [10:28] Pirate_Hunter: huh? i only posted my isssue in superuser. i did not post in ubuntu forums [10:28] matt____: The solution I've used in the past required me to connect the monitor to a DVI port initially, possibly on another machine altogether. Theres then an "Acquire EDID" button in nvidia-settings. This saves the EDID data to a file that you can then use when connecting via the VGA adapter. [10:28] Taev, you can see all the files with dpkg -s firefox [10:28] Dr_Willis: He keeps re-installing it though. === Yos is now known as Yos_ [10:28] look where does adept check for new ubuntu packages === Yos_ is now known as Yos__ [10:29] there has got to be a list of the previous firefox .deb packages ubuntu has put out [10:29] Zeu5, than it is someone else and it still has no response try to purge than reisntall it [10:29] Taev: Didn't you download one already? [10:29] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4_i386.deb [10:29] err, Taev capitol -S [10:29] Pirate_Hunter: i tried to use the completely removed, followed by an installaiton. stil the same thing [10:29] Pirate_Hunter: where is that post you were talking about? [10:30] eoke: I got it that time... I'll go try, thanks for your help. [10:30] Zeu5, if the samething happens try closing and running it from terminal it should tell you the problem [10:30] Zeu5, one sec [10:30] Taev: Dr_Willis put a link to that page up like ten minutes ago. But he wasn't able to do the downgrade, so I hope it works better for you. [10:31] http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/XY_problem is a nice page you can visit when you get firefox fixed. [10:31] maxwellian: i tried via synaptic. dident try teh .deb [10:31] Dr_Willis: Ah. [10:31] maxwellian: yes. he need to tell apt/aptitude to use the older version. [10:32] Zeu5, http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8737705 [10:32] prince_jammys: Nice. :) [10:33] Dr_Willis, they've still have not resolved the FF issue even afetr choosing another version? [10:33] maxwellian: text book example here, with many dragged in. [10:33] Zeu5, does terminall tell you anything [10:33] Pirate_Hunter: running filezilla from terminal made no difference. expect when i closed it [10:33] Pirate_Hunter: whatg issue? ive not seen any issues [10:33] Pirate_Hunter: kei@kei-laptop:~$ filezilla [10:33] (filezilla:30455): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed [10:34] prince_jammys: I think I'm gonna save that link for later...

[10:34] Taev: What did you try to do? [10:34] it wont install because of dependencies [10:34] so I forced it [10:35] Dr_Willis, never mind I am resisting suggesting through pm maybe W$ would be better :( [10:35] won't run [10:35] Zeu5, would've thought it would state anything about gtk hmmm [10:35] it seems to only crash on cnn.com [10:35] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4_i386.deb [10:35] Hi! I'm having problems with my touchpad on the Acer Aspire 1830T (netbook remix, 10.4): any configuration I'm doing isn't applied. So the changes are done in the menus and are actually saved, but I can configure what I want without any effect. The relevant part of my Xorg.0.log is: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/64TE3nta [10:35] Is there anyone who could help me with that please? [10:35] Taev: What?! [10:35] Taev: so all this time i just crashes on ONE site? [10:36] Ask your question [10:36] No [10:36] Taev: Are you freaking kidding? [10:36] it just crashes reliably on cnn.com [10:36] it just crashed on slashdot 1 out of the 3 times i just reloaded it [10:36] Taev: Everything you've said so far is that it won't even run. [10:36] No I said it crashes [10:36] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-noscript/+bug/231769 [10:36] 100% of the time on cnn.com, 80% of the time with everything else === eNTRO is now known as Guest99962 [10:36] hy [10:37] i have a problem whit my webcam , the picture is upside down ... how can i fix thus problem , i have a laptop and i use lubuntu [10:37] Taev: never mind, that's a bug for 'no-script' extension. [10:38] prince_jammys: Presumably he doesn't have any extensions, right? [10:38] so... it was a bug with 3.6.6.? [10:38] now how do I fix it? [10:38] maxwellian: yes, just reinstalled. [10:39] Taev: no, it's a mistake of mine. not a bug for you. it doesn mention cnn.com, coincidentally [10:39] Pirate_Hunter: so what do i do now [10:39] bleah: You could try "echo 1 >/sys/class/video4linux/video0/vflip" [10:39] ? [10:39] *does [10:39] Taev: you could also try gettting the packages from antoehr source/repository - it could be the .deb you are downloaading has some issues. [10:39] Firefox crashes at cnn.com is the headline [10:39] I cant find any hits at all on the forums with ff 3.6.6 crashing [10:40] eoke i get error , no such fie or diredtory [10:40] It crashes only sometimes (simply shuts down with no message) when visiting certain sites such as www.cnn.com, I receive the following error message if starting Firefox through the console, running on Ubuntu 8.04: [10:40] and cnn.com is working here for 3.6.6 - and if its segfaulting theinstant it starts up.. i have to ask.. is cnn.com your homepage? [10:40] Im running 8.04 [10:40] Taev: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:40] should i install any package _ [10:40] its crashing for me at cnn.com [10:40] Taev: I'm just...astounded. [10:40] bleah, pastebin the output of 'ls /dev/video*' [10:40] Taev: but you say it crashes in many other sites, too, correct? [10:40] 8.04 ? Hmm.. i dont recall you mentioning using that old a version befor. [10:40] Taev: I understand that you are frustrated, but you are really making this difficult on yourself. [10:40] bleah: Could you pastebin the output of lsub as well please. [10:41] Taev: You're using 8.04?! [10:41] bleah: CORRECTION: Could you pastebin the output of lsusb as well please. [10:41] Zeu5, for now you may want to try a different ftp client until I can find soemthing to resolve you problem, this problem should've been global not just on filezilla === karthik is now known as Guest66059 === Guest66059 is now known as karthee [10:41] maxwellian: classic XY. tons of time wasted. [10:41] What is the safe/correct place for me to edit .xinitrc files? of other X related files [10:41] Taev: Is firefox ok on sites that don't have flash content? [10:41] prince_jammys: This is almost funny now. [10:42] maxwellian: happens all the time on irc :) [10:42] give me a site that doesn't have flash [10:42] as a control [10:42] mouseover, in ~/.xinitrc ... pretty safe :) [10:42] Pirate_Hunter: sounds like you may need a while. i cannot be here for the rest of today. is there a way u can drop me a message? how about a superuser.com account? [10:42] prince_jammys: I'm actually laughing right now. [10:42] Taev: www.google.co.uk [10:42] no it didn't crash [10:43] prince_jammys: Anyway, he can't actually be using 8.10, because he said Update Manager got him 3.6.6 didn't he? [10:43] Flash issue [10:43] Zeu5, no worries im mostly afk but if you pm me I'll respond [10:43] eoke , http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/459065/ [10:43] i tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall mozilla-plugin-gnash like that one page suggested [10:43] nothing [10:43] Taev: Can you disable the shockwave flash plugin and try the sites that were causing you to crash before. [10:43] hell i just installed adobe flash 10 [10:44] bleah, what is the output of 'ls -s /dev/video*' [10:44] still crashes with adobe flash 10 installed [10:44] Sagaci, nope user issue and they dont want a different browser I would suggest epiphany-browser since it is close to firefox [10:44] Taev: It may be problematic with your older version of Ubuntu. [10:44] ok ill try that eoke [10:44] hi guys, I need to write gnome applet which gets a value from html page from server and show it on gnome panel. I've found some examples and tutorials, but I'm still confused from it. Can someone help, please? :) [10:44] Pirate_Hunter: okie then. i will leave in 20 mins time. really appreciate your help. bye bye if i dont see u later [10:44] how do I disable flash? [10:44] I never had to do it before [10:44] Zeu5, if you really need to use ftp urgently i would suggest for now another client otherwise just come back later who knows someone might actually know how to fix that [10:44] eoke , http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/459067/ [10:45] Taev: Can you please run 'lsb_release -a' and make sure you're running 8.10? [10:45] jan, easiest is to probably use python.. it has gnome bindings to all of this and excellent remote file stuff built-in [10:45] Taev: I don't understand how you ended up with 3.6.6 if that's the case. [10:45] im not running 8.10 [10:45] Im running 8.04 Hardy [10:45] bleah, what program are you testing in? [10:45] Pirate_Hunter: i realised that it is actually there. but just not visible. i need to press ALt + E [10:46] cheese [10:46] so how do i disable flash on firefox? [10:46] how do I manage which services are started on boot? [10:46] Pirate_Hunter: this is super weird [10:46] codebrainz: thanks, I'll take a look on it. [10:46] output of lspci http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/459068/ [10:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-noscript/+bug/231769 that page has my problem dead to rights, but they closed it [10:47] Taev: Did you mean to say "without"? [10:47] saying they didn't post the required info [10:47] Taev: ignore that URL, it was a mistake. [10:47] Taev: Sorry ignore that just read an old post my bad [10:47] Zeu5, eeerh at least you realised it probably a feature of the application [10:47] no it wasn't [10:47] bleah, eoke so there is a video0 device ... [10:47] its my exact problem [10:47] 8.04, crashes on cnn.com [10:47] seg fault [10:47] its my exact problem [10:47] Taev: We can all read. [10:47] Taev: That is referring to an extension that you don't have. [10:47] Pirate_Hunter: but it is still not visible. blearh... i am sick of this [10:48] Zeu5, since I dont use ftp clients I wouldn't have known at leats now I know and you can go help that other person in ubuntu forums [10:48] Taev: does the bug report say 'segfault'? [10:48] how do you know I don't have it? [10:48] Trying switching browsers [10:48] Pirate_Hunter: all i can say is that i have to live with using Alt keys [10:48] Taev: Because you reinstalled, supposedly. You woudln't have it by default. [10:48] bleah, i can only recommend using xawtv package to see if it works [10:49] ah [10:49] ok [10:49] Zeu5, try reading the man pages might give you a clue and are you sing the default theme(s) or a metacity/ruby/cmpiz version try taking those off [10:49] Taev: But frankly I wouldn't at all be surprised if you do have it, and several other extensions, and neglected to mention it. [10:49] so how do I disable flash on firefox [10:49] Taev: Tools > Addons > Plugins [10:49] Taev: install wine and run IE6 through it. It may be better than your current situation [10:49] the webcam working , but the imge is upside down ... can xawtv help me to fix this problem ?? [10:49] Taev, sudo apt-get install windows-xp-sp3 [10:49] hahahaha [10:50] Sagaci: come on. [10:50] bleah, worth a shot [10:50] Lol! [10:50] bleah, what eoke said should fix it though [10:50] stem [10:50] ok , i try [10:51] hi i'm having problems with my lamp ubuntu 10.4 and Vhost [10:51] i instaled drupal on /var/www/drupal-17/ but the vhost send it to /var/www/ [10:51] i already have DocumentRoot /var/www/drupal-6.17/ on the vosts but it seems to not be working [10:51] * Pirate_Hunter wonders if #ubuntu became a paid service how much he would get? [10:51] ok the list of plugs in i have is: Divx, GCJ web browser, gxine starter plugin, itunes app detector, quicktime, shockwave flash, totem web browser, vlc multimedia, windows media player plugin [10:51] Pirate_Hunter, 3.50 [10:51] sudo apt-get install antivirusproXP2011-goldedition [10:51] Are those default plugins? [10:51] VilasBoas: i recommend a more specific channel, like #drupal, or #httpd for apache. [10:52] codebrainz, hmmm I think definitely more than that [10:52] ok, disabling flash worked [10:52] its not crashing [10:52] Pirate_Hunter: i did use compiz to have that very cool 3d cube effect thing. but i dont think i change the default theme in anwya [10:52] and people wonder why we 'LOVE' flash so much... [10:52] prince_jammys ok [10:52] i seem to have 2 shockwave flash plugins [10:52] is that normal? [10:52] Pirate_Hunter, 4.50? that's as high as i can go [10:52] Like having two heads [10:53] hi guys, does anyone know how to delete "Places" option in the menu bar of Ubuntu10.0.4, leaving only "Applications " and "System" on the panel? [10:53] Taev: What are their names? [10:53] Zeu5, try disabling compiz or any composite effect just for testing purposes [10:53] shockwave flash 9.0 r277, and shockwave flash movie player verison 0.4.12 [10:53] i disabled them both [10:53] xiaogui: right click and "edit menus" [10:53] im going to re-enable one [10:53] codebrainz, than I will refuse to give support on certain issues and only work half day on weekend you wont get any better than [10:53] ok when i re-enabled the shockwave flash movie player, it crashed [10:53] Pirate_Hunter: is it possible to just install on usb stick kernel + initrd + syslinux from ubuntu installer, and fetch all the rest from the network? [10:53] Taev: I'm not sure if it's a problem but I've only got the one entry myself. === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:54] Taev: Try switching to the other one. [10:54] Taev, there is your problem keep flash off [10:54] ok it works fine as long as I don't have Shockwave Flash Movie Player enabled [10:54] so thats your solution, not use flash? [10:54] i guess thats not a bug, its a random programing feature [10:55] michal|3s, look for the hdd-image (i know debian has it) [10:55] Taev: write a dirty letter to adobe. Its a bug in flash i would say [10:55] Taev: You disabled one, and you're using the other one? [10:55] michal|3s, dont think why not considering ubuntu supports network install however you may want to look into that as long as you can point it to the usb it shouldn't be a problem [10:55] michal|3s, then you just zcat it to the usb disk [10:55] shockwave flash 9.0 r277 enabled works and shockwave flash movie player verison 0.4.12 enabled crashes firefox [10:55] that would be idea (hdd-image) [10:55] michal|3s, by the way did you try plop did it work as it stated on the site at least did it detect the usb? [10:55] I didn't have this problem until I updated to 3.6.6. [10:55] Taev: Can you go to flash sites with the one you have? [10:55] give me a flash site [10:55] as a control [10:55] Pirate_Hunter: i get the same errors still [10:55] Taev: How did you install flash in the first place? [10:56] Taev: youtube.com [10:56] it 's not bootloader releated [10:56] Taev: live and learn [10:56] Taev: www.youtube.com [10:56] i had it installed since i installed the system [10:56] it fails much later [10:56] via synaptic [10:56] michal|3s, which error where you getting [10:56] as I said. the problem didn't start until i updated to 3.6.6. [10:56] Taev: Can you remember exactly which package you installed? [10:56] youtube.com works [10:56] Sgaci what was the problem? [10:56] flash-nonfree, something like that [10:56] Taev: Okay, so we learned a lot here. First of all, there was not a problem with Firefox. [10:57] Taev: Isn't that amazing. [10:57] Oh so every thing working fine until I installed 3.6.6. doesn't matter at all [10:57] michal|3s, what is the error you're getting [10:57] Taev: That sounds about right I'm just not sure what the movie player plugin you had is or where it came from. [10:57] Pirate_Hunter: one second... [10:57] its got to be the flash plugin i installed 2 years ago [10:57] Taev: Yes, you have a two year old flash plugin. [10:57] never mind the fact that all this started when I updated to 3.6.6. [10:58] Taev: And a new flash plugin which probably came with 3.6.6. [10:58] Taev, but you managed to not tell that to anyone [10:58] no one asked [10:58] if I knew it was a flash problem, i wouldn't have had to come here [10:58] would I? [10:58] Taev: No, you KNEW it was a Firefox problem. [10:58] it is a problem with firefox [10:58] Opera is working fine [10:58] Taev: you should simply describe the problem. [10:59] Taev, wtf? it shouldn't be this hard. sudo rm -rf /home/you/.mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* && apt-get --reinstall --purge install firefox flashplugin-nonfree [10:59] Taev: you wasted much time because you were convinced that downgrading firefox was the solution === shubbar_ is now known as shubbar [10:59] All the other browsers were working, I had made no changes to the system except updating to firefox 3.6.6, Occam's razor. [10:59] codebrainz: He's got it working. [10:59] I fixed all my flash problems today ^^ [10:59] codebrainz, relax problem solved end of it [10:59] tsooi: purged flash eh? :) [10:59] and it would have worked [11:00] sorry, just read too much wasted time [11:00] since the last version of firefox worked [11:00] Taev: Occam's razor my foot. [11:00] Flash is finally working, in firefox and opera 10.60 [11:00] * Dr_Willis shaves with occams razor [11:00] waste 'o time because you think you know solutions when you don't [11:00] maxwellian: i thought i saw a new flash in the updates also. [11:00] yeah the fact that the problem started when i installed firefox 3.6.6, that wouldn't lead anyone to believe it was the new firefox [11:01] codebrainz, and apparently you would pay 4.50 an hour for support hmmm I dont think it is worth it unless I get my demands [11:01] Taev: now that you have firefox working, you can visit that nice link i left for you. [11:01] none of you knew the solution either. [11:01] i saw about 20 updates yesterday including firefox and flash [11:01] except whoever found that site [11:01] I used a script on ubuntu forums, I think the script installed the 32bit adobe flash player, and removed some other stuff automatically [11:01] with the problem detailed on it [11:01] Taev: I wasn't watching, sorry, how did you solve the issue? or didn't you? what did you try? [11:01] Pirate_Hunter, full dental, medical, 3 weeks vacation [11:01] Taev: That site was a coincidence. [11:01] Taev: Did you say you were on Ubuntu 8.10 [11:01] bonjour quelqu'un peut-il me dire comment joindre le reseaux de ubuntu en fr [11:01] Taev: solution to what? wasting too much time answering "how to downgrade firefox?" You didn't even give the reasons for this until _I_ extracted them from you. [11:01] that link you posted, those people had the same problem I had, they upgraded to 3.6.6. on Ubuntu 8.04 [11:02] and sites with flash crashed firefox [11:02] !fr | Dalton [11:02] Dalton: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [11:02] so I disabled flash [11:02] meh. [11:02] lemme test this irc command here. [11:02] oh christ you asked me the same questions how many times [11:02] I also use a flash blocker to not load all flash files, so I open flash files selectively. [11:02] Dalton, essayer #ubuntu-qc [11:02] Taev: watch your language in this channel [11:02] Taev: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The+Adobe+Flash+plugin+has+crashed [11:02] codebrainz, hmmm I lift one eyebrow that 3 week vacation does seem interesting but.... [11:02] did I run firefox in the terminal, yes, did i run it in safe mode yes, what did it say, seg fault, do this purge, do this install -reinstall --purge [11:02] I did everything you asked, and answered every question [11:03] gryllida, solved it [11:03] Pirate_Hunter, we have a good coffee maker!? [11:03] Taev: how? [11:03] * Dr_Willis fell asleep [11:03] that link [11:03] what link? [11:03] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-noscript/+bug/231769 [11:03] ok [11:03] Taev: i never asked you the same question twice. i never suggested any of those things. i began to ask for symptoms, but you quickly reverted to "how do i downgrade firefox to a version that doesn't suck?" [11:03] codebrainz, you won me over :D but im joining the union just encase [11:03] gryllida: Please note that the bug is filed under NoScript. [11:03] prince_jammys, Taev, issue solved, relax :) [11:04] i gave you the symptoms, firefox would crash saying segfault [11:04] fooll [11:04] I can't give you any other symptoms if there aren't any [11:04] Pirate_Hunter, no dice, otherwise I'll outsource your ass in a hurry [11:04] codebrainz: please stay on topic [11:04] Let's go back to loving one another, it's not worth arguing folks. [11:04] oCean_, yes mother [11:04] you had zero impact on solving this issue [11:04] people relax problem has been solved at least we learned an important lesson which has a good moral, I just can't think of it right now but it is there [11:05] it was gryllida, Pirate_Hunter, Dr_Willis and sorry if I forgot anyone [11:05] the questioner didn't learn jack. [11:05] codebrainz, no union :( I will have to think about it [11:05] that I should have magically known that by firefox crashing and saying segfault that there is a bug with 3.6.6. + flash + ubuntu 8.04 ? [11:06] Pirate_Hunter>keptme ammused [11:06] thats a bit of a stretch. [11:06] codebrainz, nah not worth it without the union and they are picky about their coffee [11:06] * Dr_Willis totally missed the 8.04 part [11:06] Pirate_Hunter, I've been censored ... /muted [11:06] Pirate_Hunter: drop it, stay on topic [11:06] Bug 231769 to be exact. [11:06] Taev: That is NOT your bug. [11:06] codebrainz: ? [11:06] spiky_, if your talking about the recent problem and not me being able to get away with an offtopic conversation than yeah it kept everyone amused [11:07] Taev: If nothing else, please do not go away thinking that is your bug. [11:07] Pirate_Hunter: interesting. i've put installer on the usb. it boots, says 'gfxmode unknown keyword' and the screen goes black [11:07] Pirate_Hunter: i can pres esc, and if i'm fast enough i can get the boot menu [11:07] so... ignoring the fact that those people had the same exact problem, with the same exact version of firefox, with the same exact version of ubuntu, and the same solution worked for me [11:07] Right I can see how that could mislead some one [11:07] Pirate_Hunter: than i have a choice. well, let's try 'live-install' [11:07] gryllida, this is the Canonical's support channel, yada yada [11:08] michal|3s, hmmm is that when using plop, f so you might want to search online or check if they got a forum and ask their [11:08] Taev: That bug was for NoScript, and extension which you don't have. [11:08] perhaps the bug is more inclusive that just having Noscript [11:08] Mikechelen: i still couldn't delete "Places". The main menu only has "Applications " and "System" options, since i can't even find the "Places" option, i failed to delete it. Sorry , i'm a newbie here... [11:08] Pirate_Hunter: nah, that's what i get using normal syslinux [11:08] Taev: Absolutely, that could be. But you have no idea if that's the case. [11:08] Taev: It's those kinds of leaps in reasoning that have caused you so much trouble. [11:08] no what caused me the trouble was when adept updated to the new firefox [11:09] Taev: The fact is that you were trying to run a two-year-old version of Flash alongside a brand new one. [11:09] Pirate_Hunter: squashfs_error, etc [11:09] Im sure adept updated it [11:09] Taev: Yes, that's right. [11:09] and I did install the newest version of adobe flash 10 like that readme suggested [11:10] Taev: There's nothing wrong with having a new version of Flash. There MAY be a problem with trying to simultaneously run a two-year-old version. [11:10] Taev: Does that part at least make sense? [11:10] michal|3s, weird I thought with plop if you're using it you wouldn't have needed syslinux etc to boot the usb it would've just picked up the iso file, hmmm tell me how it goes if you manage right a tutorial for me to follow, I'll bookmark it until I can get my hand on an old machine [11:10] I said I installed Flash 2 years ago. You know damn well adept package manager installs updates for your installed packages when they come out [11:10] Taev, what did you do to solve the issue? Clean reinstall or something else? [11:10] michal|3s, right > write [11:10] i disabled shockwave flash movie player [11:11] Pirate_Hunter: plop can pick iso? [11:11] michal|3s, have you checked your ISO? [11:11] nice [11:11] gryllida: He had two Flash plugins. [11:11] codebrainz: that's what i'm doing now [11:11] gryllida: He disabled the much older one. [11:11] michal|3s, it stated on the site it makes the usb pickup as a hd so I would've thought so [11:11] michal|3s, good choice, sounds fishy [11:11] Taev: I'm not blaming you for the way your machine was set up, you're right that it's supposed to keep itself updated. [11:11] Taev: maxwellian: try to understand why it wasn't auto removed while installing the newer one, and don't worry about the other stuff. [11:11] No I had "shockwave flash 9.0 r277 and shockwave flash movie player verison 0.4.12 " [11:12] Taev, now, try to understand why the older one wasn't removed when installing 9.0 version. [11:12] michal|3s, if it is fooling the machine to pick up the usb as a hd shouldn't it react like one? but than I ahvent tested it myself, [11:12] Looking for help on an issue, had a 10.4 desktop running and encrypted two sata drives with the integrated disk manager, the HD running the desktop gave out and now I'm trying to figure out how to mount the 2 drives in my ubuntu server 10.4. Any help is greatly appreciated! [11:12] gryllida: How was he able to get 3.6.6 in the first place? [11:12] IDK, never seen such phenomenon, though have taken 200+ support requests. [11:12] Adept [11:12] I regularly update my system. [11:13] maxwellian: from the repo? spt-get update firefox [11:13] 3.6.6 is in there already [11:13] E:\>openssl md5 ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso [11:13] MD5(ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso)= 3e0f72becd63cad79bf784ac2b34b448 [11:13] gryllida: He's running 8.04. [11:13] Taev, which ubuntu version again? [11:13] 3e0f72becd63cad79bf784ac2b34b448 [11:13] ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso [11:13] (from the site) [11:13] maxwellian: whihc is same repo, isn't it? [11:13] seems to be ok :) [11:13] michal|3s: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:13] Crucible: What do you mean by integrated disk manager? [11:13] hello friends [11:13] maxwellian: maybe by screwing with sources.list [11:14] maxehow can they be running 8.04 are you saying backports is enabled? [11:14] can anyone help me [11:14] codebrainz: so my iso looks ok [11:14] hi DJ_BqlGazaRrR [11:14] DJ_BqlGazaRrR, help with what? [11:14] the disk manager that comes bundled with the ubuntu desktop [11:14] !md5 > michal|3s [11:14] michal|3s, please see my private message [11:14] i want to remove graphic manager from my ubuntu 10.04 [11:14] michal|3s, did you do a md5sum -c on it? [11:14] so how do I fix the issue with Shockwave Flash Movie player? [11:14] Pirate_Hunter: I'm not saying anything of the sort. [11:14] i want only console mod for my web server, How to? [11:14] Taev: You can watch flash, right? [11:14] or do I just not use it until they come out with a new version of firefox [11:14] codebrainz: openssl md5 (it is windows ;) [11:14] Taev: just remove the older one, its path should be seen at about:plugins [11:14] Taev: Did you watch a Youtube video? [11:14] apt-get --purge remove gdm? [11:15] sdoin [11:15] DJ_BqlGazaRrR, easiest is to use the server or alternate CD to install a cli only version [11:15] they are 2 separate plugins gryllida [11:15] michal|3s, i have no idea about windows [11:15] codebrainz: well, openssl works great here [11:15] Taev: get rid of the older one, find its path at about:plugins [11:15] "hockwave flash 9.0 r277 and shockwave flash movie player verison 0.4.12 " [11:15] gryllida: He's already disabled it, why take it any further? [11:15] Taev: "about:plugins" is an URL [11:15] There is no "older" one, they are 2 separate plugins [11:15] michal|3s, if you have a *real* shell, it shouldn't matter [11:15] codebrainz: i think i will md5 check the squashfs on the pendrive vs the one from iso [11:16] maxwellian: he's having it disabled, obviously wants to uninstall, as I see from the lines I am getting. [11:16] Taev: Before you do anything, can you watch a Youtube video? [11:16] michal|3s, md5sum -c will verify the iso you downloaded isn't corrupt compared to the file on the server [11:16] Taev: maxwellian means, could you test that your flash is working ok now? [11:16] michal|3s, the .iso contains the squashfs root filesystem [11:16] hm if i reinstal my ubuntu i will lost my works [11:16] codebrainz: yes, and the md5 says my iso is ok [11:17] eoke, the disk manager that comes bundled with the ubuntu desktop [11:17] codebrainz: but than during boot i get info about squashfs corrupted [11:17] No. [11:17] the video just stays black [11:17] michal|3s, might be worth doing a 'badblocks /dev/YourBootDisk' [11:17] Taev: Okay, so the only thing that's better now is that it's not crashing? [11:18] it says you need to update adobe [11:18] i already did [11:18] Hello all, quick question: What's better (all things considered) to parse files of uniform format in C++, using the byte stream via pointer arithmetic or regular expressions? [11:18] michal|3s, im going away for a bit be back in 30min or so [11:18] i have adobe flash 10 [11:18] Taev, at least you solved one problem === YossXP is now known as YossXP_AWAY [11:19] ello [11:19] Crucible: You can try to mount it with "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdxy /dev/mapper/enctemp" then "mkdir ~/enctemp" then "mount /dev/mapper/enctemp ~/enctemp" [11:19] codebrainz: ha! squashfs on the pendrive and iso is different! [11:19] Ek|mu5, it's SO off topic, but best is a lib that can parse your type of files :) [11:19] Crucible: Remember to change /dev/sdxy as appropriate to the disk that's encrypted. [11:19] Taev: From the plugins you listed earlier, you have Flash 9.0 [11:19] I would like to install Ubuntu 10.04 freshly in a 500GB hard drive, how should i go with the partition since i indent to use few vm's inside Ubuntu ?

[11:29] and i cant install the newest version of gplflash because it gives me an error when i ./configure it [11:29] can't find X11 development files [11:29] No. [11:29] but i installed it through synaptic [11:29] ohir: thank you for your help..gtg now.. have a nice time :) [11:29] Taev: The whole ./configure business is for installing from source. [11:29] superikaro: Try to read about laptop-mode. It could help. What's Your laptop model? [11:30] vishnu: ive seen guides on converting a wubi install to a normal install.. but ive never used wubi. so dont know anything about doing it.

[11:31] Dr_Willis: I have 4GB ram so i thought double of it would do good [11:31] yeah i was trying to install the newest version of gplflash [11:31] i thought that might fix the problem [11:31] vishnu: ive seen guides when i googled on wubi ages ago about scripts/ways to convert a wubi install to a full install. check google and the fourms. i would suggest you use the wubi setip and Backup anything imporntant FIRST befor you mess with it [11:31] 有人會講國語嗎？ [11:31] 我会 [11:31] vishnu: i think its also possible to do a normal install.

[11:33] ahi_nav, hi abhinav., i need a help frm u abt wubi installation [11:33] !tab | vishnu [11:33] vishnu: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [11:33] Taev: But you already have the Flash player, so you don't need it. [11:33] ubottu, yeah.. i m familiar wid it.., dude :) [11:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:34] Taev: gplflash or gnash are for people who don't want to use Adobe Flash. [11:34] Dr_Willis, I think I can utilise notify-send to do this... ;) [11:34] alright ill uninstall it [11:34] abhi_nav, hi,i have installed ubuntu inside windows and have all my files and folders here... now, i want to install UBUNTU fully... but i want my files and folders in virtual to shift to the real one.. how can i do that.. plz help..

[11:35] why would this be happening [11:35] everything works perfectly now [11:35] Taev: Really? You can play movies? [11:35] apparently the version I had has a bug with firefox 3.6.6. when its installed with adobe's flash [11:35] superikaro: I don't know anything about this model. [11:35] Taev, BACKUP NOW!!! [11:35] yeah [11:36] Taev: Awesome. [11:36] vishnu, just back it in your pen drive? [11:36] Dr_Willis, Can i partition based on this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace#Separate%20/boot ? [11:36] yeah apparently it wasn't an issue until i updated to 3.6.6 [11:36] waltop tablet: cursor does not move any more after tapping with the pen - any ideas? [11:36] 3.6.6. didn't like having 2 SWF players [11:36] and crashed when ever one was engaged [11:36] PiKeyPL, thanks [11:36] hi, im having a problem with my laptop, its heat a lot, more than when i use windows vista, i guess, coolers are not working. thanks [11:36] abhi_nav, is there any better alternative.. i want my packages too... [11:36] Taev: 3.6.6 probably brought a newer Adobe too. [11:37] well Im just happy its working now [11:37] Taev: Me too. [11:37] Hi. I don't have opengl on my display. I also don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf where I can add gl to be loaded. My graphics is i915 and I'm running 10.04. Any guidance? [11:37] Taev: For future reference, I made a lot of assumptions in this process. [11:37] I, however, am unhappy that I smoked all my cigarettes because I was so aggravated. [11:37] lol. [11:37] abhi_nav, i can back my files.. but packages?? how to go about? [11:37] superikaro, ask about cpufreq and acpi [11:37] Taev: I assumed you were using latest Ubuntu, and I assumed Firefox was crashing when you started up.

Yes, when i click add to Panel button, there're Main Menu and Menu bar where it has "Applications" , "Places" and "System", but i still haven't figured out how to hide "Places" in the Menu bar, leaving only "Applications" and "System" [12:02] Hi Hello! [12:03] But if i use Main Menu, then all the options including "Applications " and "System" will be under one column which won't show until i click the ubuntn icon.

[12:26] Anyone know how I can get .exe's to work [12:26] It recof [12:26] recognises the device, lists networks, but won't get an IP [12:26] wolfie_: try wine [12:26] :( [12:26] !wine | wolfie_ [12:26] wolfie_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [12:26] wine won't work. [12:27] wolfie_: Why not? [12:27] maybe you need some dlls [12:27] wolfie_ : Were they written for Linux or Windows? [12:27] Windows. [12:27] ?????? [12:27] ? [12:27] .exe is written for win only? or not? [12:28] yeah, i thought .exe was windows only [12:28] abhi_nav: There's nothing preventing someone from creating a Linux program with a .exe extension. [12:28] Wolfie_: my advice is to get a pc, and install windows on it. [12:28] God dammit [12:28] hello/? :( [12:28] It happens [12:28] abhi_nav: I've never seen it, but I guess it's possible. :P [12:28] wolfie_: Why dosn't WINE work? [12:29] maxwellian, I dont think. apart from legal issue there is compatibility issue. [12:29] Error messadges [12:29] I try to run a program and i get hit with a bunch of error messages [12:29] wolfie_: Have you looked up that program on the Wine page? [12:30] wolfie_: watch your language in this channel please [12:30] Yes and it says its compatable. [12:30] wolfie_: if there's a bunch of error messages, i would google them, and/or post them on a forum and/or pastebin them here [12:30] Emulation is dicey at best, and you'll ALWAYS be burning extra machine code and RAM in the process. === YossXP_AWAY is now known as YossXP [12:31] wolfie_: What are you trying to run? [12:31] maxwellian: searched google but no luck so far, I'll check out bluez thx [12:31] maxwellian, if it was possible there could not be any need for 'wine'? [12:31] Alright then I'll see if there are an other updates for wine that i haven't installed [12:31] see ya [12:31] abhi_nav: Certainly, programs compiled for Windows will not run on Linux by themselves. [12:31] hmm [12:32] why is the total number of nicks here so low? [12:32] wolfie_ : Is it some small utility, or are you trying to run a game or something serious like that? [12:32] abhi_nav: I can easily create a Linux program with an extension .exe, though. [12:32] how can i get rid of "plugin-container", once and forever? this piece of crap is eating up the CPU. [12:32] abhi_nav: Or he might have just been referring to how to run executable programs on Linux in general. [12:32] maxwellian, i m not getting your point [12:33] Is there a way to change the remote desktop-password from the terminal? [12:33] abhi_nav: I made the same assumption you did, but IStorm did ask a valid question. [12:33] may be [12:35] maxwellian : At first, I wondered as well if he was just talking about a chmod situation or something. My first unix executable was a.out . LOL [12:35] Hi all; my screen turns black when booting the desktop cd, is there a way to get a console/text install or disable gdm somehow from the bootable cd ?

All worked fine but now (after working on alsamixer to get the mic works on skype) i can hear audio on my fujitsu amilo pi 1505 only if i plug in the headphones.. Any tips? [12:38] Do any of you know the size of "lucid security" mirror? What about "lucid backports? I'm not sure if I have enought disk space [12:39] IStorm: when I remove splash and quiet from the kernel cmdline within grub I perfectly get text output, but when the init starts it tries to switch to graphics mode and then it's gone [12:39] disharmony: using 10.04 or what version? [12:39] 10.04 [12:39] hi all! i wanted to login to my box remotely through ssh before i log on locally at the box. But before im logged in locally i cant log on remotely, it says "host down" how comes?! [12:39] disharmony: i got some notes on removeing Plymouth so you get text mode :) no splasy gfx. no framebuffer [12:39] disharmony : well, I was just thinking about the same sort of thing that happened to me a while ago, and a friend of mine.

I dont know what will happen if i have to fsck at boot.. not seen any messages about that yet. :0 [12:41] disharmony : do you know if GDM is running or not? Can you hotkey hmmmm, what is it, alt-f2? [12:41] Dr_Willis: ok this is nice, but this requieres a working installation in the first place, right ? [12:41] Guest77041: You're trying to log in to your Ubuntu machine from another machine? [12:42] disharmony: you cant even get to the console? theres the 'text' option you can use to force it to a text mode. that wont even start GDM [12:42] IStorm: I can't switch to tty1 for example (ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 doesn't seem to work) [12:42] maxwellian: yes [12:42] erry: Can you walk me through how you set up your WPN111? Did you have to use ndiswrapper? [12:42] Guest77041: Are these machines on the same network?

[12:43] Now its worse no network list D: [12:43] maxwellian: yah, im actually logged in remotely through ssh, but it only workes after i logged in locally in the first place [12:43] erry: Did you just do something that might have caused that?

[12:44] Dr_Willis: yep, even with text it seems to be swithcing to "some" graphics mode, or perhaps it's loading the nvidia driver which might screw things up [12:44] :/ it doesnt show wirrelss networks anymore [12:44] matteo1990: yeah so check alsamixer again [12:45] IStorm: thanks for your time ;) [12:45] matteo1990: all outputs are separated not collated [12:45] erry: I've never booted from a LiveCD, but wouldn't you have to go through the ndiswrapper step again if you rebooted? I don't think it's going to save changes to the CD? [12:45] maxwellian, no :p [12:45] maxwellian, it doesnt save [12:46] Wow, I am falling in love with Empathy, really really quick. [12:46] maxwellian, however it doesnt work anymore [12:46] erry: Did you do the ndiswrapper step again? [12:46] maxwellian, i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=bfbb59687f4c268d169579c7b9f31433&t=414023 [12:46] aeon-ltd, i am on it, i have PCM thats high, Master 00 (non muted but i can't raise it) CD muted and Beep Muted, S/pidf 00, of-hook 00 and Caller id 00 [12:46] Guest77041: Hmm...I would not think that would be the case. [12:47] Guest77041: What machine are you using to to initiate the login? Another Ubuntu machine? [12:47] issh on iphone [12:48] so any ideas [12:49] Hello! Is firefox / xulrunner-1.9.1 in 9.10 affected by CVE-2010-1201 CVE-2010-0183 CVE-2008-5913? I see no security update for xulrunner-1.9.1 since March 31st. [12:49] erry: Well obviously you've taken a step backward, unfortunately. Are you sure you followed the steps correctly the second time? [12:49] maxwellian, well i cant follow the sudo ndiswrapper load_fw_ar5523 /etc/ndiswrapper/netwpn111/ar5523.bin [12:50] maxwellian, it doesnt have that command [12:50] jelly-one: pleases wait for firefox branding to take place [12:50] erry: Doesn't have which command? [12:50] maxwellian, load_fw_ [12:50] aeon-ltd, can I assume that's a "yes", then? [12:51] erry: So how did you do it the first time? I thought you said you followed the guide? [12:51] jelly-one: yeah unless your using bleeding edge distros branding takes about 1 month, i'm on arch we got 3.6.6 less than 1 day from release [12:51] maxwellian, yes, except for that step [12:52] erry: So both times, you skipped that step, and the second time it didn't work? [12:52] maxwellian, yea [12:52] very consistant huh [12:53] aeon-ltd: eh, seems like a suboptimal protocol when security updates are in question [12:53] maxwellian, also tried ndisgtk [12:53] Guest77041: Not sure what's happening there. Do you have a firewall set up? [12:53] it says hardware present [12:53] erry: Yes, good. [12:53] but that's not helpful [12:53] jelly-one: yeah but most users like branding and ubuntu specific written docs [12:53] erry: I have used that once before, it wasn't very clear... [12:54] :( [12:54] erry: Did you reboot because you weren't able to get an IP? [12:54] Yes [12:54] Actually well [12:54] I removed the device from where it was and put it higher [12:54] but then it stopped working so i reboot it [12:54] now its back where i originally had it [12:54] it gets a fine signal at windows btw [12:54] so the possition shouldnt really matter [12:55] erry: No, that's probably not the issue. [12:55] jelly-one: if you like bleeding edge use other ppas, gentoo or arch linux [12:55] :( [12:55] erry: You're right. [12:55] * erry throws it away [12:55] erry: Okay, give me a second to look up this command that's not working for you. [12:55] It worked at a previous version of ubuntu with ndisgtk [12:55] but that version is _old_ [12:55] aeon-ltd: if I liked bleeding edge I wouldn't use ubuntu 9.10, would I. [12:55] jelly-one: yeahh [12:55] and even then it would kick me off once a while [12:55] erry: It's good news that it worked at some point though. [12:55] maxwellian, yea [12:56] erry: Why are you using the LiveCD, by the way? [12:56] what kind of Linux I can install on a router? I want to run Linux in a virtual machine on my computer and have it be a router for the entire house [12:56] maxwellian, cause i want to make it work before i instlal [12:56] while upgrading firefox , I get this error http://pastebin.com/sn0TjSkr [12:57] More generally, is there a db or a web page that tracks CVEs to package versions in ubuntu? Similar to http://security-tracker.debian.org/ for Debian? [12:57] erry: How forward thinking of you. :) [12:57] XD [12:57] erry: Did you read this whole thread? It goes on to talk about the error you've experienced. [12:58] Ive never got wireless to work in linux. In the best-case-scenario it doesn't work, in the worst-case-scenario it kills the kernel [12:58] I have 3 compouters! [12:58] ajnd its like that in them all [12:58] bad luck :P [12:58] cutiyar: err read the third line [12:58] erry: Wireless is a tricky beast. Now let's both read the whole thread and see if something comes up. :) [12:59] erry: The one you sent me the link to. [12:59] cutiyar, make sure you don't have any other package manager tool already running; also, there's no need for "sudo" when you're already root [12:59] erry: hmm.. im about 5 for 5 - wireless works beter for me in linux then windows. [12:59] maxwellian, I runned dpkg [12:59] o.o [12:59] * erry steals Dr_Willis wireless adapter [12:59] cutiyar, also2, that's invalid apt-get syntax. [12:59] erry: i have fougjht with the same identical laptops in releasses past however.. but now most are a few clicks and connected. [13:00] maxwellian,http://pastebin.com/Vg5TrWGE [13:00] Dr_Willis: erry has a USB card, could be a little more work. [13:00] Ive never had a usb-qwireless gizmo [13:01] Those things are so cheap. :) may as well reseasrch and buy one known to work [13:01] if wireless doesn't work then wifi doesn't work in Linux? [13:01] Lazyvee: and the differance btweeen wireless and 'wifi' is ? [13:01] cutiyar: What Firefox version do you have, and what are you trying to get? [13:01] question. if a hard drive is advertise 320GB how big would windows pick up the drive for? Because I'm seeing it as 297GB... [13:01] where can i download a zip with the wpn files [13:01] i need some athwpn thing i dont have [13:02] maxwellian, I have 3.6.3 I liked to upgrade it [13:02] sweetpi referred me to : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Consumer_confusion but doesn't seem to make much sense. [13:02] erry: Hold it, there, professor. I said read it, don't do anything yet...these people could all be way off. :) [13:02] and now it will not open because I get these error [13:02] gOLDfeesh: that seems on par because of the differences between SI and binary-based units. [13:02] BUT [13:02] hey guys, got a problem using ubuntu 10.4 [13:02] i mound nfs disk as the following "172.16.149.130:/home/hazem on /nfs type nfs (rw,addr=172.16.149.130)" , But when i try to cd /nfs it give permission denied cutiyar: You normally do not manually upgrade anything in Ubuntu. [13:03] why not? [13:03] we i have work to do [13:03] happy 4th of july [13:03] When I want to mount a HDD using NTFS file system ubuntu says: Not authorized [13:03] jelly-one yeah just looked at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100123174255AAnHFTq [13:03] Yesterday it worked [13:03] cutiyar: Just run 'sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade' [13:04] erry: Are you saying you don't have time to work on this now? [13:04] maxwellian, it will upgrade alll I don't all I just want firefox to update [13:04] maxwellian, you're not worried about his "read-only filesystem" when running dpkg? [13:04] maxwellian, well i cant waste all day on something that's not gonna work anyway [13:04] I'll probably be asked to file a bug report which will go unnoticed like my previous one [13:04] Dr_Willis: well I have a usable screen now with another vga card... [13:05] hello, anybody know how to install mapsource on linux? i have Garmin Etrex H, and it isnt have usb cable (have RS232) - sorry, im a little know english [13:05] Ubuntu 10.04 connects to my router but I can't get online, what am I doing wrong? [13:05] erry: Yes, that would be frustrating. All of the support for Ubuntu is free, which is nice, but volunteer, which is sometimes not as nice. [13:06] i never get anything for free [13:06] instead i work for free [13:06] and never get a thanks [13:06] * erry goes emo [13:06] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:06] erry: elmo? [13:06] i hate that bot. [13:06] MAXWELLIAN , see this http://pastebin.com/uTiSKGDa while running sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade [13:06] erry: Well everyone in here is working for free, so at least you're not alone. :) [13:07] Lazyvee if its connect to your router and u can ping router-ip , then i believe its something related to DNS. [13:07] yes but nobody forces you to work [13:07] you can be a butt and not work [13:07] Lazyvee: u r using static IP or Dynamic ? [13:07] jelly-one: I've never seen anyone try to use dpgk that way. I can't imagine that's a suitable way to upgrade a given package. [13:07] jeesh, why is ubuntu so different? What's the correct *way* to create the device files in /dev in the installation cdrom instead of mknod'ing them myself? [13:07] it's a dynamic IP [13:08] disharmony: Hmm.. /dev/ is supposed to autopopulate as needed when the various modules for devices load. Ive not needed to mknod stuff in years. [13:08] cutiyar: Go ahead and follow the advice of the error message. [13:08] Dr_Willis: well the kernel detects sda and sdb, but they are not in /dev ;) [13:08] ;/ [13:09] disharmony: so 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' dosent show anything eh? [13:09] when i get a university degree ill work for money [13:09] ! [13:09] maxwellian, "dpkg --configure -a" is a common idiom for cleaning up partially failed installations/upgrades/removals. [13:09] erry: What do you want to do? We can take a look at your problem, knowing we may not succeed, or we can not. Let me know. [13:09] maxwellian, it say read only file system I don't undrstand it [13:09] disharmony: theres been some odd controller/drives missing issues ive heard of in 10.04 - [13:09] i want it fixed [13:09] thats what i want [13:09] Dr_Willis: unable to open sda; Dr_Willis I don't have any controllers, using iscsi [13:10] i will mknod them myself... ;) [13:10] ok manually edit dns file and add ur DNS manual . use the following steps : "sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" ,,, THEN insert the bold line nameserver 208.67.222.222 [13:10] disharmony: I kniow nothing about iScsi. so you are on your own. [13:10] Lazyvee: ^ [13:10] cutiyar, that probably means one of your filesystems needed to make apt/dpkg work had an error and has gone read-only automatically. [13:10] jelly-one: Yes, that I've seen, but he left off the 'a' in the '-a'. Guess it was enough to throw me. :P [13:10] jelly-one: Thought he was trying to read from stdin or something. :P [13:10] well this isn't iscsi related, but mknod solved it [13:10] disharmony: you sure you got the proper modules loaded? somthing seems odd. :) perhaps file a bug report [13:11] nobody reads bug reports [13:11] cutiyar, inspect the output of "dmesg", it might provide clues [13:11] i have a report there for a week [13:11] or more [13:11] morning all [13:11] jelly-one , what should I do to fix it? [13:11] nobody cares. [13:11] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:11] cutiyar: Did you run the 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [13:11] erry: well given the info you have been doing here.. im not suprised at that [13:11] maxwellian,yes [13:12] cutiyar, it depends on the reason it went read-only; if it's a hardware issue it might have to be dealt with hardware changes. OTOH a reboot and a filesystem check might fix it. [13:12] I installed ubuntu server and after installed kubuntu-desktop. my wireless was set but it`s not workig browsing and apt-get on console [13:12] I'll try this, thanks you! [13:12] what could be? [13:13] cutiyar: What did it say when you ran the command? [13:13] maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459093/ [13:13] cutiyar: Thanks, sorry to keep making you paste. [13:13] maxwellian, not probloum [13:15] cutiyar: Hmmm...what was the first thing you did to try to upgrade Firefox? [13:15] sudo apt-get upgrade firefox [13:15] whatever cutiyar did, it wouldn't corrupt the fs [13:16] thanks for helping, have a nice day everyone [13:18] jelly-one: What do you think, fsck? [13:19] "cutiyar, it depends on the reason it went read-only; if it's a hardware issue it might have to be dealt with hardware changes. OTOH a reboot and a filesystem check might fix it." [13:19] what decided which terminal is launched for desktop-entry .desktop files with Terminal=true ? [13:19] cutiyar, inspect the output of "dmesg", it might provide clues [13:19] i tried gnome-default-applications-properties, and tried to change sym link for /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator [13:19] If I must repeat myself. [13:19] but still gnome-terminal is used [13:19] jelly-joe, I don't understood [13:19] iddo: tat x-terminal-emulator is a link to the 'default' terminal program [13:19] cutiyar, "dmesg" is a command showing kernel messages. [13:20] iddo: the galternatives tool can let you change that system default [13:20] cutiyar, pastebin the last 50-100 lines of its output [13:20] Dr_Willis: galternatives ? [13:20] iddo: yes.. thats the name of the tool. One of several tools to admin the 'alterantives' system ubuntu uses [13:21] Dr_Willis: i changed the sym link myself to another terminal, but still gnome-terminal is used [13:21] iddo: i susggest useing the proper tools.. not just moving symlinks around [13:21] cutiyar, this output can be used to figure out the reason why one of your filesystems encountered an error and remounted itself in read-only mode [13:21] jely-joe,http://pastebin.com/mXxm7YEc [13:21] Dr_Willis: ok trying [13:21] iddo: its also possible thers some gnome setting thats overriding the system defaults [13:21] jelly-joe, http://pastebin.com/mXxm7YEc [13:23] Dr_Willis: any idea how to find it? i tried to google this issue and i dont find anything [13:24] I have problems with getting games use the screen fullscreen, I assume that something fails at changing resolution so it paints black on the rest of the screen. are there something bad with my settings? [13:24] I use nvidias graphic drivers [13:25] Dr_Willis: i tried galternatives hmm, how come it managed to change the sym link without sudo access? [13:25] iddo: you did notice the system ->>>> perfered applications item? it has a setting for a terminal [13:26] Dr_Willis: yes i did, it didnt have any effect either [13:26] hi [13:26] iddo: i imagine it changed it on a per user setting - not system wide [13:27] is it possible to change the contents of the "Files & Folders" entry in the ubuntu netbook edition? [13:27] Dr_Willis: anyway i tried galternatives now too, changed to xterm, still no effect.... any other ideas? [13:28] hi, I have just tried to control my monitor with gddccontrol, which worked fine. however, I can't use the app for the panel to switch between profiles, because it says no monitors found, run gddccontrol first [13:28] jelly-one: cutiyar pinged out, but I'd like to know the resolution to this problem, if you have time? [13:28] Guys would you please advise with this case. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/X677Uy8Y [13:28] I am having problems with audio in ubuntu 10.04. All worked fine but now (after working on alsamixer to get the mic works on skype) i can hear audio on my fujitsu amilo pi 1505 only if i plug in the headphones.. Any tips? [13:28] iddo: no idea. I forget the orignal problem [13:28] Dr_Willis: and it didnt seem to change per usr, i see the sym link in /etc/alternatived changed to xterm [13:29] iddo: you do have xterm installed? [13:29] yes [13:29] the original problem was [13:29] what decided which terminal is launched for desktop-entry .desktop files with Terminal=true ? [13:29] decided=decides [13:31] hey all, I'm using user-level security and have 2 users writing to the same share. The 1st user is an admin so obviously has root perms to the filesystem, but the 2nd user isn't, however she still seems to be able to delete files owned by the 1st user that have only read privileges. What am I doing wrong? :/ [13:32] I'll be back later [13:32] iddo: personally.. i cant recal ever using the launch in terminal feature [13:32] iddo: i always make a launcher that does 'xterm -e 'pathtocommand' [13:34] Hi! [13:35] hi [13:35] How can it be that I install Ubuntu one some non-technical people's PC, and then the first update comes, and the box right out doesn't boot anymore? [13:35] rapha: ive had windows machines not even make it that far [13:36] rapha: bugs and regressions happen. They normalluy get fixed very fast however. [13:36] Dr_Willis: unfortunately for these ppl, windows always booted trustfully, albeit slowly [13:37] Dr_Willis: i booted the ubuntu on that machine from CD now and ran aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade (which brought the -23 kernel in) and it still doesn't boot. The CD itself requires "noapic nolapic acpi=off" to boot, but these are also set in GRUB, so that can't be it... [13:38] cutiyar: Hi cutiyar. Back? [13:38] rapha: clarify what it is doing. 'dosent boot' is rather vague [13:38] maxwellian , sorry my computer damaged [13:39] by this update [13:39] cutiyar: It's not clear (to me) exactly what caused the damage, but jelly-one seems to be right that you have a problem with the filesystem. [13:40] Dr_Willis: it starts to boot, then (when I disable "quite nosplash" before booting) shows "Starting AppArmor profiles" and hangs there forever. [13:41] rapha: thers also a 'text' option to get a bit more verbose messages at boot up. [13:41] maxwellian, how to locate the brocken package? [13:41] cutiyar: I recommend that you force a file system check on the reboot. [13:41] rapha: replace teh 'quiet nosplash' with 'text' and see if any more info shows up [13:42] maxwellian ,I don't understand sorry [13:42] cutiyar: No problem, didn't expect you to. I just wanted to say what we're going to do. :) [13:42] I am having problems with audio in ubuntu 10.04. All worked fine but now (after working on alsamixer to get the mic works on skype) i can hear audio on my fujitsu amilo pi 1505 only if i plug in the headphones.. Any tips? [13:42] Dr_Willis: okay, let me try that ... will take a minute, I messed around already now and have to restore the original GRUB config first. [13:42] rapha: just remove quiet its verbose by default [13:42] rapha: other then that i have no idea. that fact you have to use "noapic nolapic acpi=off" is not a good sign to begin with. [13:42] maxwellian, it said use broken filter to locate [13:43] aeon-ltd: well then Dr_Willis' suggestion wouldnt make sense and I was again only left with staring at the "Starting AppArmor profiles" message forever and a day [13:43] maxwellian, where I use broken filter? [13:43] cutiyar: Have you already pasted that message? [13:43] I think 'text' totally makes it show most everything. [13:43] text verbose - Might show more info. [13:43] or text noquiet [13:43] rapha: ok try Dr_Willis idea first [13:43] Dr_Willis: well, some computers have hardware problems. I've come to accept that. And it did run absolutely reliably up until the update. Plus, it works fine from CD... [13:43] maxwellian, no [13:44] aeon-ltd: about to :) [13:44] cutiyar: Would you please? [13:44] It's just kinda hard to evangelise Ubuntu like that, because stuff like this makes ppl lose trust, esp. when they were skeptical to begin with... [13:45] maxwellian,http://pastebin.com/iprwviVb [13:45] I find it harder to evangelize windows when you hear about the major exploits.. but comptuiers are complex and thats the bottom line. [13:46] cutiyar: When did you get that message? What gave you that message? [13:46] at least with Linux you can 'pop the hood' and try to fix things. Once you get the hood open. [13:46] anyone use google talk with pidgin? [13:46] inspiron: What's your question? [13:46] !anyone | inspiron [13:46] inspiron: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:46] bbl. gotta chase the grandkids. [13:47] Dr_Willis: You'll never catch them, give up. [13:47] maxwellian: yes i will.. I got COOKIES! :) [13:48] maxwellian, when I want update from update manager [13:48] Dr_Willis: Mwah ha ha ha! [13:49] cutiyar: First things first, let's run that fsck. [13:50] aaaah crap [13:50] cutiyar: Type 'sudo touch /forcefsck' [13:50] maxwellian , when my computer rebooted was not running I entered fsck after this I could run [13:50] cutiyar: Oh, you already ran fsck? [13:50] aeon-ltd: Dr_Willis: no extra info and doesnt work with default grub settings either ... just gonna reinstall it after backing up the home dir. [13:50] maxwellian,yes [13:51] rapha: ok sorry couldn't help [13:51] cutiyar: Oh good. Did you try the 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' command again? [13:51] Hey I've open two totally different hard disks up using fdisk.... both of them are "255 heads, 63 sectors/track" and "Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes"... does this mean that I can duplicate the partition boundaries from one to the other exactly? [13:52] aeon-ltd: no prob - i'm grateful for the suggestions anyway :) [13:52] maxwellian, ok wait [13:53] maxwellian, http://pastebin.com/wjW3GdkY [13:54] Hello, how can i turn off my laptop numpad? [13:55] can someone help me install barry for blackberrys on 10.04 [13:55] whats your prob lobozoo ? [13:55] cutiyar: follow with "sudo apt-get install -f" [13:56] Lantizia: Should work [13:57] Lantizia, If destination size is greater than source yes [13:57] who use backtrack 4? [13:57] !backtrack | kimak [13:57] kimak: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [13:57] Lantizia: `sfdisk -d | sfdisk ` for example [13:57] seant: Should he try an upgrade first to see if that corrects the issue?

[14:02] seant: No, he just wants to upgrade his Firefox. [14:02] maxwellian, ok thx [14:02] seant: I'm assuming that it will be included in whatever normal upgrades. [14:02] seant: Do you know the best way to do a distro upgrade from the command line? [14:02] maxwellian, he could get the latest from PPA if he wants to [14:02] can someone suggest a nice tool for drawing exact schemas like with ahh i guess its called autodesk on windows [14:03] seant: He just wants 3.6.6, which I think is standard now. [14:03] !firefox [14:03] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [14:03] Hmmm, that's not what I wanted...

[14:05] maxwellian, ok [14:05] i want to control panel so that i can control my dns,apache,ftp,mysql,etc [14:05] seant: Of course, he keeps losing his connection, so hopefully he doesn't have some serious problem. [14:05] i am using ubuntu10, gnome panel not responding many times properly, can anybody help please [14:06] maxwellian , firefox was not upgraded [14:07] cutiyar: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [14:07] cutiyar: 'lsb_release -a' [14:07] maxwellian , 10.4 [14:07] which is better 9.10 or 10.04 ubuntu === OerHeks is now known as Oer [14:07] hello folkz :) [14:08] cutiyar: Okay, well 3.6.6 is supposed to be standard now...you ran 'firefox --version'?

[14:08] why do my firefox allways lag on youtube or flashplayers? [14:09] rxd: "Better" doesn't really mean much...what's your question? [14:09] too much extesions ?? [14:09] is barry the only programe for blackberry [14:09] maxwellian: i want to know which is easier to use 9.10 or 10.04 [14:09] Euphus: What do you mean, lag? The playback is choppy? [14:10] lobozoo: never installed barry through a ppa tbh - let me check [14:10] 10.04 [14:10] maxwellian: which i will not encounter so many problems [14:10] rapha:thanx [14:10] rxd: 9.10 has been around longer, so presumably there's been a greater chance to fix bugs and whatnot. But some of those bug fixes have been held off until 10.04. [14:10] lobozoo: i take it this is the ppa you used? https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/barry-snapshot [14:11] !karmic [14:11] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [14:11] anybody else always has lags on youtube or flash? [14:11] hi [14:12] lobozoo: well, if it is. could you open a terminal and type "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install barry"? [14:12] nope [14:12] hmm, after upgrading to lucid form karmic, none of the sysv style init scripts were started [14:12] rapha: thats the one did what it says on the can , but still cant install barry [14:12] what is barry? [14:12] I then discovered, that it was due to /etc/inittab being removed [14:12] maybr im doing it wrong [14:13] euphus: program for blackberry [14:13] I readded a file with only a single line "id:3:initdefault:" and now sysv style init scripts are started again [14:13] isn't that a bug in lucid? [14:13] lobozoo, ; ok , thnax ;) [14:13] atmos4, upstart is the new mechanism which also runs the old sysV style init scripts. [14:13] well it doesn't withtout /etc/inittab for me [14:13] atmos4, It is from Karmic and beyond I think [14:13] rxd: Just go with 10.04. [14:13] cutiyar: What's happening? [14:14] cutiyar: Are you still on the old version? [14:14] atmos4, there is no inittab [14:14] seant: neither vdr nor netatalk were started unti I added /etc/inittab [14:14] both use sysv style init scripts, not upstart [14:15] You need to add them via update-rc.d [14:15] so it seems upstart doesn't start the sysv script unless there is a default initlevel defined in inittab [14:15] seant: I'm not stupid =) [14:15] is aufs any good as a file system [14:15] maxwellian, was not upgraded [14:15] cutiyar: You ran that command? [14:15] i hate smartphones, or i hate htc tattoo!! its fucked kkep away from it folkz! hehe sounds like i have a breakdown lol [14:15] seant: how you think they magically are started after creating minimal inittab? [14:15] atmos4, The default level is set at 2 !! But upstart kicks off the jobs asynchronously, one of them being the rc's [14:15] lobozoo: "says on the can"? - well, nevermind. just execute the command i gave you again, please, and then show me the output you get on pastie.org. [14:16] well I could set rc2 there, wouldn't matter [14:16] the services are registered in rc2,3,5 [14:16] atmos4, you can create an inittab. But it is not there by default as I understand it [14:16] startx [14:16] yea, but it should start sysv style init scripts without me needing to do anything === root is now known as Guest56388 [14:16] hi people? [14:17] which it wasn't until I created inittab file [14:17] thus I ask myself what's wromng [14:17] ubuntu is ignoring aufs excellent feature === jelly-too is now known as jelly-one [14:17] which upstart script handles calling the sysv scripts? [14:17] make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [14:17] where can i get information about using linux? [14:18] atmos4, I am not sure on why those commands never made it to the /etc/rc*.d.

[14:18] ok will check that file [14:18] atmos4, Are they in /etc/rc2.d? [14:18] maxwellian, yess [14:18] seant: not wanting to repeat myself [14:19] atmos4, That should have kicked it off then. [14:19] I've plenty years of linux experience, so they are :-) [14:19] atmos4, I dont doubt that. BUt a lot are new to upstart [14:19] what should i do in order to get used to linux? [14:19] hey folks, having mail issues with alot of people complaining they're not able to send me mail (or the few other people using my server can't receive mail from some folks) [14:19] yes, upstart is still new for me [14:19] cutiyar: What if you type 'sudo apt-get upgrade firefox'? [14:19] anyone able to help me debug it? [14:19] but /etc/rc*.d/ has little to do with upstart [14:20] maxwellian ,I did it before , ok iwill do it again [14:20] anybody else always has lags on youtube or flash? [14:20] atmos4, once again: upstart kicks off the old rc style scripts. [14:20] the server is ubuntu 8.04 [14:20] i need help from you friends; what is the advice you give to me? [14:20] Euphus: a friend complained of it after the upgrade to 10.04 [14:20] seant: yea I'm looking at the rc.conf script now [14:20] and it's configured using the ISPConfig web based administration tool [14:20] there's about 15 domains running on the server.

After updating the kernel (about a month ago) my son's computer ceased to access wifi networks. It's a broadcom b43-ish device. It's not listed in lspci.

It came with the computer. But sucky or not, it was working, then stopped. The question is whether I should buy another (non-broadcom) or do some trick to make it work. [14:28] friends, unfortunately i will be asking too many question, please do not get mad, it is bacause i am really addicted to lunix but i do not know anything about it [14:29] it is not compartible enough, i would buy a new non-broadcom if i where you.. just buy a pin-card [14:29] usb-plug [14:29] not even the basic commands commands [14:29] and buy a netgear ;) [14:30] I'd always choose internal wlan over an usb stick [14:30] i have tried many sited, looking for info but it is very hard to understand [14:30] those small printed antennas suxk, and it gets int he way [14:30] even N-stick? [14:30] Euphus, netgear hasn't let the people I know down and it picks up ISP settings all by itself so good suggestion [14:31] ;) [14:31] well just swap the internal card if it's not working correctly [14:31] !ask | Guest56388 [14:31] Guest56388: 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).

[14:32] Pirate_Hunter, ; i went from linksys to netgear, and i dont regret [14:32] i would say try a realtec based card, but i've never had much luck with those [14:33] Euphus, hmmm linksys I thought they were good at least much better than netgear, am I wrong? [14:33] Guest56388: have a read http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [14:33] where can i paste something to show someone [14:33] !paste | lobozoo [14:33] lobozoo: 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.

How can I verify whether it is hardware issue or software issue?

Maybe I should get one then... any other method in the meanwhile? [14:39] oCean_ : A light derivitive?

[15:00] haha [15:00] ubuntu: by having a /boot partition [15:01] aeon-ltd: you mean I must create a partition which its mount point is /boot yeah? [15:02] Hello Guys, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and I have lost my sound (yet again.) I've had this issue before, but it happened so long ago I honestly can't remember where to start. I'll gladly open my terminal and absorb any help that you guys might be able to offer. [15:02] I only get a crackling sound from my speakers [15:02] ubuntu: yeah a separate partition that basically contains all of grub [15:03] RPS: are you using alsa? [15:03] aeon-ltd: then can I have other OS s with it for example after installiing ubuntu and ofcourse grub seperated from the / [15:03] Yes I believe that is what I've been using [15:04] ubuntu: what you want is a / /home /boot setup and then obviously another / or ntfs for your other os [15:04] where can i learn the basics of security, i mean, books, videos etc?

[15:07] ubuntu, only thing you can do is reinstall bootloader.. all versions of Windows have ALWAYS trashed other bootloaders on install... [15:07] ubuntu: from experience its easier to have 7 first then ubuntu on top, however you can use something like supergribdisk to restore grub after windows is in [15:07] ubuntu: a system with 2 hard drives. makes that a little easier. It is worth learning how to restore grub however. [15:07] Grub is such an imporntant 'tool' that its definatly worth spending some time reading up on [15:07] you can very easily reinstall grub from the ubuntu cd, see !grub [15:07] aeon-ltd: the master is turned all the way up. It shows HAD Intel as the card [15:08] hey i am using 9.01.should i upgrade to 10.04 .?i have nvidia [15:08] What is up with ubuntu's wordpress not upgrading to 3.0?

[15:09] Dr_Willis: wordpress is on version 3.0. all the other wordpresses i've used recently have been automatically upgraded through the wordpress software. [15:09] zcat[1]: you mean after installing SEVEN that all things gone failed about the grub I can Use the ubuntu LIVE CD and [15:09] Dr_Willis, it would appear ubuntu disabled this feature of wordpress [15:09] where can i learn the basics of security, the programs + their guides, ebooks, if possible with tutorials, for free? [15:09] !grub [15:09] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [15:09] yeah but will i create any pproblem during booting [15:09] sudipta, The best answer you can get to that question is to boot the 10.04 live CD and see how you like it. [15:09] Dimitri__: never heard of 'wordpress' [15:09] aeon-ltd: is this the line I should use? sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2 [15:09] !info wordpress [15:09] wordpress (source: wordpress): weblog manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.9.2-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 1969 kB, installed size 8796 kB [15:09] ubuntu, that link ubottu just gave.. [15:09] Dimitri__: if you want the latest version .You may need to find a PPA repository for it. [15:10] zcat[1]: thanx bro ;) [15:10] sudipta: will what cause any problems? [15:10] Dimitri__, or you can just download wordpress yourself and extract it into /var/www/ [15:10] yeah, that's what I was in the midst of [15:10] RPS: don't bother, in alsamixer are any the outputs showing mm? [15:10] abhinav: the same guidelines apply in all Ubuntu irc channels. Please be patient. [15:10] i have indeed liked it i have heard that it might impose problem on booting [15:10] I need to be devoiced. [15:11] Dimitri__, ppa might be better wince it will get updated with your system automatically (as long as the ppa maintainer keeps it updated) [15:11] aeon-ltd: No, I don;t see anything labeled as mm [15:11] * Knew ! [15:11] RPS: all bars are maxed out? [15:11] where can i get materials on basics of security? [15:11] sudipta, I would be surprised if it had problems booting. I say, go for it! I'm not promising that you won't have problems but com'on you're not installing windows here. What's the worst that could happen? :) [15:11] only the master is maxed out [15:11] i dont know yesterday i found that in xchat [15:11] sudipta, Just do a back up before you start and rest easy. [15:11] RPS: max out all of them [15:12] hello, which to choose 32bit or 64bit? [15:12] Guest56388: theres numerous web sites with security tutorial and even a lot of e-books out there. Security is a BIG topic. so you may need to look around for info that you are wanting to learn about [15:12] delfis: up to you [15:12] sudipta: i dont know what you are talking about. [15:12] ok thanks [15:12] but how to choose [15:12] :? [15:12] delfis: high level rule is 4GB ram or more = 64bit [15:12] what are criterias? [15:12] delfis: I see no reason to not use 64bit these days. [15:12] i have 4gb [15:12] delfis: id say go with 64bit then [15:12] guys, i keep getting disconnected from ssh, i tried changing the ssh config but it didnt help, is it a different config? [15:13] Andy-at-home: the server has a config also. [15:13] ah, where can i find that? [15:13] Andy-at-home: probably your isp's network kicking you off, disable the time out on the client/server configs, and enable tcp-keepalives [15:13] Andy-at-home: /etc/ssh/ [15:13] !ssh | Andy-at-home [15:13] Andy-at-home: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [15:13] Guest43521, basically only install stuff from package management, don't run as root.. if you're not doing server type things there's nothing to worry about, ubuntu is far more secure than the other two popular oses [15:13] 64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage [15:13] the official webpage wrotes [15:13] delfis, If you have more than 3Gb of ram and you install a 32 bit operating system you will not be able to use all of the ram. However in order to run a 64 bit OS you also need to have a 64 bit processor and motherboard. [15:13] aeon-ltd: I can;t see a way to turn up the others ...PCM, IEC958 [15:13] delfis: thats old information for the most part. [15:13] RPS: up on the arrow keys [15:13] ok thanks [15:13] delfis: you decide.. we have given our suggestions [15:14] DR_Willis: can you prompt me some websites? [15:14] * Dr_Willis wonderws when that official ubuntu web page will get updated/clarified [15:14] Guest56388: it depends on the specifics you zre interested in. just 'security' is very vague. [15:14] delfis, really no reason not to use 64bit nowdays, except perhaps a very few non-free drivers that don't play nice [15:15] RPS: what are you usng to test sound? [15:15] aeon-ltd: Well.... that was the single MOST simplest linux fix I have ever been involved with. LOL [15:15] Guest56388: hitting delicious.com for and looking what others have tagged as 'security' 'tutorial' and so forth will find good info [15:15] RPS: your welcome :) [15:16] aeon-ltd: You can;t take my Thank You away. ;) Thanks [15:16] Guest43521, perhaps try http://www.schneier.com/ [15:16] Guest56388: http://delicious.com/search?p=network+security+tutorial&chk=&context=recent||security&fr=del_icio_us&lc= [15:16] RPS: np [15:17] Dr Willis: i basically want to learn about tcp/ip and remote hacking [15:17] aeon-ltd: I wonder what makes the second meter (PCM) go to all zeros [15:17] lol [15:17] Guest56388: there's no support for that in this channel [15:17] Andy-at-home, sometimes it helps ssh to have all the IP addresses of the devices you are conecting to the network in /etc/hosts.allow , like this : http://www.pastebin.ca/1894382 [15:18] i am using wvdial to get connected to net through my cell.whenever connection ends i have to restart to create a another connection.can it be done without restar?t [15:18] thanks [15:18] ok [15:18] Guest43521, http://www.megapanzer.com/ might be a good place to start [15:18] Guest56388: theres whole books and ebooks written on tcp/ip - some are free. [15:19] http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_toc.htm [15:20] server irc.ber.de.euirc.net [15:20] Guest56388: that site will keep you busy for a few hrs. [15:20] Hello [15:20] I [15:21] Уважаемые Американцы! Хочу добавить Вам осталось не долго! [15:21] d'oh.. [15:21] I've got some problems installing/running the Netbook Edition [15:21] !ru | DAG-LIFE [15:21] DAG-LIFE: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [15:21] thanks ubuntuers for the help [15:21] I've installed the image into an SD card and can get to the boot menu [15:21] I got it working by installing manually wp was smart enough with the database [15:22] But when I hit enter over "Run Netbook Remix from USB" or "Install to a Hard Disk", nothing really happens. [15:22] The screen just flashes once as if the menu was refreshed. [15:23] I choose the web cam input in sound preferences and it keeps switching back to internal audio - it did remember the settings with Logitech Vision Pro but the new FVTOUCHCAM N1 does not. It switches back within minutes back to default. Any idea anybody ? [15:23] Hi Ubuntu pros. I'm teaching some talented youngsters basics of Linux. We successfully installed Kubuntu, learned the basics of Terminal use (apt-get,cd,ls,touch,man,mkdir,chmod etc.) and folder structure (mount points etc.), done some regexp searches, minor shell scripts and compiled with g++. Do you maybe have an idea what to do next? Nothing too complex because some are just getting started [15:24] DR_Willis: thank you for helping me: do is it allowed in this site to provide emails? if it is i would like to have yours so i can contact you when i face some difficulties [15:24] netko: video converting with ffmpeg, and mencoder :) [15:24] Guest56388: i never read my email. and i am here almoszt every day [15:24] netko: and using 'GIMP' [15:24] netko, :D :D Do something fun! Let them explore compiz [15:24] netko, some basics on bootloaders. esp. grub2 [15:25] hi [15:25] Dear Americans! I want to say that you left a little ..

[15:25] I had this problem early so many times. i donwloaded http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Abstract?content=120489 thsi theme when installing ubuntu says not valid theme type not even .tar.gz nor .tar after tar there is direct folder. hwo to install tihs theme please hep?/??????????????? [15:25] abhi_nav: there are a lot of corrupt themes on gnome-look.org [15:25] abhi_nav: whats it a theme for? [15:25] prash: We successfully upgraded grub to grub2 (even though Error 11 occoured at first) [15:25] Dr_Willis, desktop theme [15:26] ikonia, ok. [15:26] ikonia, any other reliable themes website you may know? [15:26] abhi_nav: that may be wrong.. themes are often made of theme parts.. and can be miss-packaged. look whats in the archive. [15:26] netko, good. Also teach them about window managers - kde etc [15:26] no [15:26] netko, Learn about /etc/fstab, learn about /etc/networking/interfaces [15:26] abhi_nav: use the various theme-downloader tools that exist. [15:26] Dr_Willis: if it is the case i will not face problems to get help from you [15:26] Dr_Willis, in archieve there are png , xml and .destop files === denny- is now known as denny [15:26] abhi_nav: gnome-art gnome-art-ng and gstyler [15:26] netko, Learn how to set up different servers (file, ssh, www, etc etc) [15:26] Dr_Willis, ikonia ok thankyou. [15:27] Guest56388: this channel is always here. [15:27] netko: the #ubuntu-offtopic channel maybe more appropriate for your question. This channel is all about technical ubuntu issues. [15:27] bye all. [15:27] Does Ubuntu still break after every version upgrade (as it did a few years ago)? [15:27] edbian: Lol computers we're working on couldn't handle compiz :D But I agree, something fun would be nice for a change [15:27] Is there a channel for Unity? [15:27] bye [15:27] rouslan: if we say No.. will it matter? [15:27] haha [15:27] netko, Linux is a tool. The best way to learn how to use a tool is to use it in some project. Maybe they could begin learning how to program as well?? [15:27] Dr_Willis: I have not been using Ubuntu for almost two years now so I guess it has changed [15:28] netko, dual booting. I am sure many would like to have ubuntu installed side by side with win [15:28] I have like.. 6 h of lexture to do ( minus hour or so for removal Linux and restoring bootloader) [15:28] Dr_Willis: where did you learn about computers and how? [15:28] !ot | Guest56388 [15:28] Guest56388: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:28] rouslan, does people still die just because plage? [15:29] I remember trying to upgrade Ubuntu several times, *every* time the upgrade broke the installation. [15:29] But I guess reinstalling is better than dealing with Portage. [15:30] okay, thank you for the information [15:30] how can i ping an ip adress using ubuntu? [15:31] * rouslan is switching from Gentoo [15:31] If I go into the Help menu when in the boot menu of Ubuntu Netbook Remix and hit "ENTER to boot" as it says at the bottom of the screen, I get the message "Could not find kernel image: /casper/vmlinuz". I can see how that would be a problem when trying to run the system but I don't understand why that might be the case. I did everything it says at the download page here: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download I.e. I have completed Step ... [15:31] Guest56388, open a terminal type , ping ipaddress [15:31] ... 2 but can't get even started with Step 3. :( [15:31] how do I copy filesystem .... in case I wish to make exact duplicate onto same-size partition ?? [15:31] Guest56388, open a terminal and type ping [15:31] !manual > rouslan [15:31] rouslan, please see my private message [15:32] anyone know why i lost pae after generic in the kernel name [15:32] Martiini_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [15:32] !clonezilla | Martiini_ [15:32] !info clonezilla | Martiini_ [15:32] Martiini_: Package clonezilla does not exist in lucid [15:33] thalib, because the generic kernel doesn't have pae-support? [15:33] :p [15:33] Martiini_, well anyway look for clonezilla [15:33] I have no sound when playing MP4, which plug-in to be installed? [15:33] how to get a pae support one [15:33] thalib: install the pae-kernel [15:33] how do i remotely control a windows pc using ubuntu? f [15:34] ok [15:34] Guest56388: vnc, rdesktop [15:34] Guest56388: rdesktop to use the windows-buildin-remote-server [15:34] abhi_nav: I *know* how to use Linux. [15:35] I have been a Gentoo user for years. [15:35] rouslan, then why are you here asking questions? [15:35] abhi_nav, thanks ... Do You know for sure .. that it works ?? [15:35] iceroot: i mean knowing the ip adress only [15:36] Guest56388: rdesktop + username + password [15:36] BluesKaj, Im aware of clonezilla ... I asked about copying a filesystem [15:36] Martiini_, I never tried it. there are the replies of so many users read them that will help you to decide. but before that as BluesKaj suggested look for what wass taht clonezilaa something [15:36] Martiini_: maybe you want dd? [15:37] abhi_nav, ok .. thanks .. I read and try it :) [15:37] Martiini_, gparted can do it for you and so does clonezilla and dd among other tools [15:37] Martiini_, good. :) [15:37] yes, clonezilla , partimage , dd , mondo, ghost4linux [15:38] abhi_nav: I want to know whether version upgrades will break the installation as they have (at least in my experience) a few years ago. [15:38] Martiini_, http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/010037.html [15:38] iceroot: i know how to use remote desktop + password, i just want to use the ip adress only, is it possible? [15:38] rouslan, hmm. read release notes then. [15:39] rouslan, I suggest clean fresh installation than upgrade because *****I heard**** many peoples talking about upgradation problems. I dont know what [15:40] rouslan, depends on your hardware, but usually the probs arise when an exotic graphics or other pcie card is installed, IME === mike_ is now known as Guest91027 [15:41] Well, I guess re-installing is better than dealing with a versionless package manager. [15:42] rouslan, I'd suggest imaging your current install and do an upgrade just in case. [15:42] My main goal is to have a low-maintenance Linux distro. [15:42] rouslan, puppy? [15:42] I am tired of wasting 6 hours per week dealing with Portage. [15:42] rouslan, whynot just edit the sources .list to your liking and use apt to update packages [15:43] i use pppoe, for a few days i can't connect as it shows no connections in dsl although i have them( shows in edit window too) , when i do /etc/networking restart shows error >> /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink , i checked the path i had a file with my DNS ips there ,whats the problem ? [15:44] hey, i just accidentally lost my /etc/profile. can someone running Lucid please dump their /etc/profile into pastebin and give me the link? [15:44] thanks! ;) [15:44] thanks to all that helped with my SSH timeout problem, got it fixed [15:44] would be much appreciated [15:45] I am unable tol ogin to gmail from ubuntu, tried both chrome and firefox [15:45] Does Ubuntu Netbook Remix typically have more issues (with respect to upgrading) than Ubuntu? [15:45] san_, had you contacted gmail forums wiki and help? [15:45] iwo: 10.04? [15:45] no [15:45] is wubi safe to use on lucid, in 9.10 (or was it 9.04?) i had issues with booting after updating the kernel [15:46] oCean_: yep [15:46] rouslan: Ubuntu Netbook Edition is the same on the backend as regular Ubuntu, just with a few extra packages. The upgrade process is the same [15:46] no? good. very good. wow!! apreciated. really [15:46] iwo: gimme a sec [15:46] h00k: Ok, thanks. [15:46] oCean_: cheers! [15:46] I'll try it.

[15:46] rouslan: I haven't had any upgrade problems myself, but I have seen people have odd issues. Just follow the !upgrade instructions and you should be alright [15:47] abhi_nav: yes [15:47] I did a search on the internet , on a site named google and it did not return me a thing [15:47] hello [15:47] I try to get a personal image on gdm [15:47] I searched in the doc but didn't find anything [15:47] oCean_: many thanks!

[15:49] is there any mean to personnalize my gdm ? [15:49] (I have a lot to learn about Linux) [15:49] abhi_nav: on karmic the system gets broken after updating the kernel, does lucid has any such issue [15:51] arjunak01, i dont know about karmic. in my case using lucid i updated kernel two times and it is working fine. but its full installation. now wubi [15:51] Hey, anyone know if this software is any good: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ ? [15:51] arjunak01, if you decide to use the live install cd to partition the hdd , then make sure your friend defrags his windows install before resizing the windows partition [15:51] arjunak01: if you have custom build packages, kernel-updates can break dependencies using any release [15:53] ocEan Blueskaj: I'm talking about this https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/497168 [15:53] hello everyone!

Afterwards, you can transfer your songs from rhythmbox through ubuntu with 0 trouble. [16:02] glips_78: what's the ppa of the theme¿¿ [16:02] thanks [16:02] Bllueskaj, the link is here : http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=150 [16:02] Daekdroom: I don't plan to use it to listen to music. ^_^;; [16:02] tyrosine, well, you still have to plug it to a Windows system with iTunes to set it up. [16:02] And I have to improve my computer English [16:02] xangua: i dont know what are you asking to me :( but this erorr starts after i install elementary-theme for gnome. [16:03] Daekdroom: ok, will do [16:03] tyrosine, Ubuntu 10.04 can't sync apps and such, altho. [16:03] Daekdroom: Where can I get a Windows XP liveCD? ;-) [16:03] tyrosine, no clue, and such thing is out of the scope of this channel and its policy.. [16:03] ki ha fantasie su cugine? [16:03] glips_78: what's the PPA PAGE of the theme¿¿ you dud a sudo add-apt-repository ppa/name don't you¿¿ [16:03] exit [16:04] did* [16:04] tyrosine: no where leagl also live won't do you any good since you'll have to install iTunes [16:04] * idefixx sighs [16:04] xangua, glips_78 did NOT use "add-apt-repository" as that will automatically add the key, they must have used some older method.

(btw, i see the same with wicd-client UI) [20:21] muni: if you restore your home contents then the settings can be used between the 2 (if you used a seperate home partition its even easier) [20:21] zus: i know that but my pc is not reading that cd [20:22] Muni: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [20:22] greezmunkey: when i try to connect with wicd, it tried for about 2 minutes and give up. [20:22] muni, check the md5... [20:22] actionparnship: md5 [20:22] Muni: yes to make sure the iso is complete and consistant [20:22] zus: md5 ???????/// [20:22] oren: that's good.

I wouldn't have to do that all the time, but when it did "lock up" that process usually would break it loose. [20:25] ThatGuyOverThere: it authenticates the packages. Also upgrading to the next distro will not be allowed [20:25] Zus: pleasure [20:25] ActionParsnip: How do I add the key later? [20:26] zus: i used them all and i like linux the most [20:26] muni, my personal point, i prefer GNU/linux (k)ubuntu but you should try what you can and see what works for you [20:26] ThatGuyOverThere: same command on the guide. I don't have what guide you are using so can't verify [20:26] greezmunkey: let me try (i might loose connection, so i'll be back from my desktop) [20:26] I just try to add the repository again and it'll get the key?

[20:27] greezmunkey: ifdown: interface eth1 not configured [20:27] ThatGuyOverThere: if it uses the add-apt-repository command then it will add the key but it needs to complete to get the repo added [20:27] oren: isn't that you wireless int? [20:28] oren: duh, it's probably already down, try ifup instead. [20:28] greezmunkey: correct [20:28] The terminal is doing something weird. It says "The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the 'kopt' parameter in Grub Legacy's menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary."

How do I do that with ed? [21:05] erkan^, I think so...the drop down menu is too long for you to view? [21:05] ed, the unix line editor [21:05] I installed it before threw getdeb but now I can't install it because a .deb package is not available. I tried downloading the code from their site but I can't run it [21:06] yes i mean [21:06] ActionParsnip: i'll do that. meanwhile here is the tail of the syslog [21:06] ActionParsnip: < usacomputertec> I installed it before threw getdeb but now I can't install it because a .deb package is not available.

[21:10] elooo [21:10] ActionParsnip: the problem I ran into is that it was already downloaded into ~/.ubuntuone/foo . I copied everything to /home/Music, told rhythmbox to delete the ones in ~/.ubuntuone, and rhythmbox deleted both the old version and my copies! [21:10] usacomputertec: chmod +x ./filename; ./filename ,run that from within the same folder as the installer and change filename in the command to the right name (case sensitive) [21:10] there must be a better way, I think [21:10] ActionParsnip I'll try [21:10] ubuntu is great ! [21:10] Carl-m: that's all I got dude. I don't use either tbh [21:11] erkan^, couldn't find anything on google, but I did start a thread on the forum for your problem...subscribe to it to keep an eye out for responses: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1524037 [21:11] somebody use amarok ?

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 ..."

[21:28] slidinghorn: But the packages from PPA can't be found so that must be it [21:29] soadkombucha: "And if you're doing windows and install guest additions you can have just the taskbar" What do you mean?

[21:36] I mean, in windows, if I'm at C:\myfolder, and I type "explorer", it brings up a gui folder explorer thing. [21:36] Zwei: nautilus /path/to/dir OR if you want root access, gksudo nautilus /path/to/dir [21:36] or just nautilus [21:36] Zwei: nautilus . (the dot is important) [21:36] soadkombucha: Erm, probably not root [21:36] slidinghorn: thanks for the help. I'm looking into Calibre now, but have to run for a bit. On quick glance it looks like that may work for what I need. [21:36] MaMoUs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254576 [21:36] Zwei, use "browse ." [21:36] Zwei: Then just nautilus . [21:36] Zwei, just type nautilus [21:36] Lazyvee: i had a similar problem, google the addres of the nameservers of your ISP and write that address in /etc/resolv.conf [21:36] Zwei: Or if you're going to a particular folder nautilus /path/to [21:36] gunthert: yes, I installed Ubuntu with Wubi so my machine is dual boot [21:37] guntbert, slidinghorn, soadkombucha, Pirate_Hunter: Thanks!

[21:38] * Pirate_Hunter seriously needs to read on wubi and figure out what it is and how it is different from using livecd [21:38] might anyone have an idea of why a program functions differently when started with an /etc/init.d/ script vs. manual startup while logged in? [21:39] rabbit1: the first Post XD [21:39] hi all. how is the best to learn python? [21:40] !ot | osmario [21:40] osmario: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:40] osmario: However I will help here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide [21:40] guntbert: no I can't reach the internet at all in Ubuntu. but I f I create a partition for Ubuntu and do I proper install, would it solve the problem? I'm thinking of trying 9.10 with Wubi and see if it works better [21:40] osmario, you can try asking in #python [21:40] slidinghorn: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide works [21:40] Pirate_Hunter: Wubi is an installed version within a Windows partition. It runs like a regular install with a slight disk performance slowdown due to one more layer of indirection (virtual FS), "slight" really is slight, you likely won't notice. [21:40] It has a list of tutorials [21:41] Lazyvee: I don't think so - did you try with running a live CD? [21:41] Pirate_Hunter: Wubi is useful when you don't wanna mess with parttables [21:41] Does anybody have any experience with Photorec? [21:41] Flannel, so does it run inside windows or something or does it create a disk image? [21:41] Im suffering from constant flickering on my laptop. it has an old nvidia go 7900 GS card, and every time powermizer changes the performance level it flickers. [21:41] thanks for all. [21:41] guntbert: not yet but I might try with a live CD [21:41] soadkombucha, so I assume grub doesn't get installed now im confused [21:42] Pirate_Hunter: It doesn't run in windows, you boot to it just like a dualboot. There is no partitioning though, the entire Ubuntu install lives within a couple of files on your windows drive [21:42] Lazyvee: try it - if you have wired LAN it really *should* work "out of the box" :-) [21:43] Hey, I have a question about Wine. It says that it is version 1.1.42, yet wineHQ doesn't list anything between 1.0.1 and 1.2-rc1 for creating an account. Could someone help me understand why this is and/or what version I should say I have? [21:43] any answer? [21:43] Spaztic_One, ask in #winehq [21:43] Ah, thank you. [21:43] again, at starting ubuntu 10, I found the following error message "An error occurred while mounting /home Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery", I do not understand why my system can not mount /home, could any one help me to solve these problem? Thanks [21:44] Question: If I update my BIOS, will that screw up the bootloader? [21:44] guntbert: I will try with wired LAN but as I like to make things more complicated I'd like to use my wifi :-) [21:44] ahmad: boot into a livecd and try to mount it from there [21:44] ThatGuyOverThere: no; it shouldn't [21:44] hi ... can I backup data from liveCD? coz some sectors are bad [21:44] Thanks. [21:44] Flannel, oh thats creative and still manages to dual boot, very interesting, so I assume windows sees it in a different way i.e. a disk images and how does one manage the size of the ubuntu wubi image? [21:45] Lazyvee: do you know what wifi adapter you have? [21:45] Lazyvee, try taking a gander here, it's a great troubleshooter for wireless issues/ndiswrapper: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 [21:45] ahmad: well man .... lets see, when u installed Ubuntu did u make a partition for home ? [21:45] MaMoUs: no [21:45] meme: if you have maedia you can backup to from the livecd [21:45] Atheros... I don't know the model... it's athk5 in the Ubuntu console if that helps [21:45] ahmad: ok just give me 1 min plz [21:46] MaMoUs: it is just one partition for all ubuntu [21:46] Pirate_Hunter: There are tools to expand it and stuff, windows sees it as a couple of files (I believe there's two) [21:46] MaMoUs: ok thanks. [21:46] slidinghorn: thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out [21:46] Lazyvee: if it doesn't work open a command line and do "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf" and try to add the line "nameserver 8.8.8.8" (or the ip addresses of your isp's nameservers) [21:46] ahmad: did u install Virtualbox ? [21:46] Pirate_Hunter: from what i see here wubi instals are way to fragile. grub problems or corrupt image file are common. i do not recommend them [21:46] too* [21:46] MaMoUs: yes [21:47] erUSUL : how could u give me any link for that ... I couldn't find [21:47] ahmad: you had modified /etc/fstab in order to mount the usb? [21:47] MaMoUs: is there a problem between VirtualBox and ubuntu? [21:47] ahmad: no [21:47] meme: a link to backup from a livecd ? [21:47] MaMoUs: I think VirtualBox did this [21:48] alox: i'll try that as well, thanks [21:48] no no I mean web link to describe that [21:48] MaMoUs: I had not done this myself [21:48] ahmad: u did not do anything to that file ? [21:48] Flannel: Is it a squashfs file? [21:48] MaMoUs: yes [21:49] MaMoUs: I did not do any thing with this file [21:49] ahmad: oky just give me 1 more min plz [21:50] erUSUL, so wouldn't I, I prefer to spend 30-45min installing from live cd than mess with wubi, saying it installs in windows itself doesn't it mean that it also suffers from NTFS fragmentation (this are all assumption based on my knowledge) which beats the point of having linux and how does one go about using chroot... too many question I need to explore [21:50] ahmad: can u edit this file /etc/fstab [21:50] MaMoUs: ok [21:51] when i use aptitude to install package, where is the temp dir that holds the downloaded package? i forgot that one [21:51] iromli: /var/cache/apt/archives/ === luisa is now known as magdato [21:52] soadkombucha: I'm not sure about the specifics [21:52] erUSUL: alright, thx [21:52] erUSUL: Is there a way to purge that?

[22:01] carl-m, lol yes but i am not sure hwat i am looking for [22:01] ahmad: soo ? [22:01] avg_guy: you can use devede [22:01] So. I define Unix style copy paste as 'select to add to buffer' and 'middle click to retrieve from buffer'. It works everywhere but not open office. In Open Office 3.2.1 , Ubuntu 10.04, unix-style paste works, but not copy. System fonts ('serif', 'monospace') are not listed in the fonts dropdown either. Looks like Open Office lacks interation with the system. [22:01] As I was asked yesterday, I installed latest updates (including a kernel one), which didn't help. I don't care much about fonts, but absense of unix style copy , which I am always using in emacs, terminal, firefox, ... , and then get suddenly stuck and see that it is open office, is very annoying. What can you suggest for a fix? [22:01] i am not only looking for a light weight distro but one wiht the kernel optimised to run in virtualized env [22:01] MaMoUs:I get error "mount: unknown filesystem type 'dazukofs'" [22:01] slidinghorn, thanks checking that now [22:01] sebsebseb: greetings [22:02] rp_: Puppylinux [22:02] can anybody tell me how to know which driver i have for my graphics card [22:02] carl-m so if its running as that what do i need to do? I need to be able to edit these files etc so thats why my group has ownership. [22:02] gryllida, I see your copy and paste is working just fine in IRC [22:02] SteamInc: grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:02] gryllida: Hi [22:02] i am also looking for debian based distro [22:02] i like apt-get [22:02] :D [22:02] wanderingi: let me make usre I understand. you have some web app that is runnins out of apache and is unable to edit some files [22:03] gryllida: maybe try #openoffice.org ? [22:03] yes, there are directories and files that it needs to be able to writeto [22:03] Lantizia: Indeed it works Everywhere, even in Terminal, but not in OpenOfficeOrg. [22:03] wanderingi: and you want to be able to edit them as your own user as well [22:03] yes [22:03] oCean_, They said they aren't able to help with integration of OOo with the OS, and redirected me here. [22:03] I'm experimenting with NFS. I'm wondering if there's a relatively simple way to export a folder so that everyone has read access, but write access requires a password. [22:03] spiky, thanks [22:04] wanderingi: just one user, or a whole user group? [22:04] gryllida: personally I find that a weird answer. Since you've proven that all other apps work just fine [22:04] Hello. What is the easiest (non cli) way for a new Ubuntu user to encode a wav file to ogg or mp3?

[22:05] ahmad: did you install Avira ? [22:05] hello everyone... I am looking for an app to convert eps to pdf... google tells me there is an epstopdf, pstopdf, ps2pdf, and a number of varieties of the same name.... so far apt-get install can't find any of them. any ideas? [22:05] MaMoUs: yes, I am installing avira [22:05] rp_, or just try debian :) [22:05] well i dont mind, but i need my user "user" to be able to edit them and as long as thats possible im happy [22:05] ahmad: u are installing or installed ? [22:05] Lantizia: I was assuming he thought debian was too big [22:06] debian is tiny if you do a minimal install [22:06] alexias: Does it say there is a additional repository or download? [22:06] MaMoUs: Avira is installed on my system and already running [22:06] Otherwise you might need to enable all of your repositories [22:06] wanderingi, couldn't you just edit them as the superuser, then chown the files to whatever program needs to access them? [22:06] it just says 'can't find the package [22:06] Lantizia, so is ubuntu if you do minimal install [22:07] MaMoUs: is Avira causing any problem? [22:07] ahmad: yes [22:07] wanderingi: if it's just one user, I would change the group ownership of the files to www-data, and leave the user ownrship set to you. if the web app creates new files, you may need to make the directories u+s as well [22:07] ahmad: oky i found the problem [22:07] MaMoUs: then I will remove it. [22:07] carl-m how do i do that [22:07] ahmad: wait [22:07] MaMoUs: ok [22:08] * alexias looks to see if any repositories arent enabled. i thought they all were... [22:08] ah sth is amiss there [22:08] ahmad: write this in terminal to backup ur file [22:08] wanderingi: say that the top-level directory is /directory and your username is USER. you'd run : sudo chown -R USER:www-data /directory [22:09] silly me.... retry.... [22:09] Lantizia, jeos was jsut 100mb that's kind of something that i want [22:09] ahmad: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bk [22:09] oCean_: ok, but still, if you know how to fix, feel free to suggest, I'm having this annoying issue for more than a week.

[22:27] blacktortilla, run sudo apt-get install pastebinit then run dmesg | grep [yoursistersusername] [22:27] Hi [22:27] Hi [22:28] oops blacktortilla the second command shoudl be dmesg | grep sisters-user-name | pastebinit [22:28] slidinghorn, you forgot to pipe that to pastebinit [22:28] !hi | darthvies [22:28] darthvies: 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! [22:28] Okay. I am connected via ethernet cable. [22:28] SomehelpPlz, congrats! The first thing we need to do is check for any and all updates. Do you know how? [22:28] No idea. [22:28] I am having problems with the skype for Ubuntu. It has been fine before but it is a beta client and under sound devices it says pulseaudio server (local) :S what should I do [22:28] SomehelpPlz, Go to System->Administration->Upgrades [22:28] xanderal, you sure it's hanging? Perhaps that step just takes a loooong time. Any disk activity? How long did you wait for it? [22:28] My server install keeps hanging at the "wiping swap space for security" screen at 21% completion, Any ideas why? [22:29] No disk activity, I have been waiting for over 25 minutes. [22:29] ahh, ok.. well that's bad ;) [22:29] xanderal, bad disc or (God forbid) bad sectors? [22:29] need a hand installing jedit-aou,tar,bz2 [22:29] Okay, it's downloading package information. [22:29] xanderall: try using a live ubuntu with sswap [22:30] carl-m: apache was running as 'nobody' when i ran your script with 'nobody' as the owner everything was fine [22:30] SomehelpPlz, Good =) Install all upgrades. You'll probably need to reboot because a kernel upgrade should be coming your way. [22:30] wanderingi: great! [22:30] I'm not completely sure about that, my hard-disk is setup via a RAID controller, but I'm fairly certain the RAID controller is stable. [22:30] SomehelpPlz: when it's done check system admin hardware drivers for any [22:30] xanderal, first thing I'd do is a CD check, make sure there isn't a scratch or fingerprint that makes the install CD break [22:30] xanderall: try using a live ubuntu with sswap software installed [22:31] yea, thanks for the help! [22:31] 315MB download... Will take me about an hour to download completely. [22:31] I accidentally removed some things from System->Preferences->Startup Applications, now Gnome won't start (Ubuntu 10.04). How can I restore my changes from the root terminal in recovery mode? [22:31] Is there a live disc for the server edition? [22:31] SomehelpPlz: yep [22:31] Am I allowed to idle in here for the required amount of time? [22:31] SomehelpPlz, not to mention the inflation and install time - should be an hour and a half. [22:32] SomehelpPlz, be our guest! =D [22:32] xanderall: use the general version of ubuntu live (matched to your hardware, probably i386?) [22:32] SomehelpPlz: yes you can idle in here [22:32] SomehelpPlz: i been here all day [22:32] SomehelpPlz, of course, feel free to stay, enjoy :) [22:32] xanderal: don't think theres a bootable CD where you can try server, since it doesn't have a GUI, but there is an install CD sure [22:32] SomehelpPlz, take sebsebseb for example - he idles here all day and doesn't do much of anything. = / [22:32] xanderal, another thing you can do is change terminals with alt-F? and there's some other screens that might give you clues [22:32] LJRuff: uhmm no [22:32] He's like our resident plant. =D [22:32] I'm coming from Windows to Linux. Hopefully I can make Ubuntu my new home. [22:32] LJRuff, helps a lot actually [22:32] (sebsebseb gryllida it was a joke) [22:32] need a hand installing jedit-aou,tar,bz2 [22:33] xanderal: I haven't tried the server install; have you checked the other terminals to see if there is debugging info on any of them? the debian installer used to have that [22:33] zcat: I tried this, alt+f4 shows me the output of the install, at the "wiping swap space for security" screen, there is no activity at all. [22:33] I accidentally removed some things from System->Preferences->Startup Applications, now Gnome won't start (Ubuntu 10.04). How can I restore my changes from the root terminal in recovery mode? [22:33] sebsebseb, you're being very helpful, indeed, about a couple of weeks ago when I was just installing this system :) [22:33] Ubuntu can handle Windows Live as I read during the installation? Is this the MSN messenger I am thinking of or another system? [22:34] xanderal, well I'm all out of ideas ;) [22:34] xanderal: if its the cd scratched, you can try the ubuntu netboot cd and download ubuntu server [22:34] carl-m: Just like I mentioned to zcat, looking at terminal output during the install -- the last thing that happened was my user-setup finished. [22:34] LJRuff: I only turned my computer on an hour or so ago something like that. Also in 2009 I was very much so one of the main helpers in here, but now I don't help as much in here, since there are other things I can do of course, plus I am not so keen on Ubuntu's current direction. [22:34] are there any builtin cleanup commands for dpkg/apt-get/etc? i want to clean up all old files [22:34] gryllida, sebsebseb is probably one of the most helpful people here. I always see him here keepin' us in line. ;) [22:34] anyone know if there is an issue which slows the copy and paste in ubuntu 10.04? its not copy and pasting in nautilus half the time with key shortcuts [22:34] gryllida: yeah I remember sort of [22:34] sebsebseb, same here - I've moved to arch linux. Still like to help the newbies tho... [22:35] LJRuff: yeah I am here for the newbies [22:35] xanderal: I think this is an installer bug; I found something similar at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/432422 [22:35] SomehelpPlz, Windows Live? We have the MSN protocol on our messenger. [22:35] my shift, control, and alt keys won't work on my keyboard. can anyone help [22:35] I've been considering installing debian core and moving my ubuntu installation to a chroot jail under it [22:35] ThatGuyOverThere, did you identify your keyboard correctly during install? [22:35] Anybody able to help me? [22:35] xanderal: the only workaround would be to use a live linux (such as a regular ubuntu live cd) and install sswap to remove the swap for security, if you need this to be done [22:35] hi guys my skype doesn`t see my webcam it says I don`t have webcam how can I fix that cos it makes me mad! [22:35] !ask | basicxman [22:35] basicxman: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:35] ThatGuyOverThere: did they work previously, or is this fresh install? [22:36] if you mean the keyboard model, yes. it didn't ask for the model when you install. [22:36] this is a fresh install. [22:36] teknohan: skype is not offically supported by ubuntu developers [22:36] what's the keyboard model? [22:36] ThatGuyOverThere, I meant the keyboard type. Is it a USA QWERTY standard? [22:36] anyway, i tried setting the manufacturer and model in the keyboard settings, but they don't have the brand. [22:36] carl-m: That's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll have to get a desktop/live-version of the CD then and install everything else manually, later. [22:36] I accidentally removed some things from System->Preferences->Startup Applications, now Gnome won't start (Ubuntu 10.04). How can I restore my changes from the root terminal in recovery mode? [22:36] :S:S:S:SS:S:S:S [22:36] Thanks for the help guys. [22:36] ljruff yes. [22:36] ubottu: Sorry. [22:36] ThatGuyOverThere, Did you try a reboot [22:36] ThatGuyOverThere, hmmm [22:36] LJRuff: I moved to Mandriva at the end of November or early December, towards the end of last year anyway. Still got the other computer on Ubuntu though that my brothers are also using, and I stil have an interest in Ubuntu, since yeah it has most users on the desktop at the moment. [22:36] I have to use skype ! [22:36] it's a rocketfish bluetooth keyboard. kind of an obscure manufacturer. [22:37] xanderal, do the install with no swap and install a swapfile/swap aprtition later? [22:37] where are the programs stored?? [22:37] xanderal: if that bug is right, it;'s just extremely slow [22:37] teknohan: you can check your /dev to see if there is a video0 device, if not, linux is not detecting your webcam [22:37] but they said it did finish [22:37] basicxman: want something brute force? [22:37] xanderal, also is it true hardware raid, software raid, or 'fake raid'? [22:37] xanderal: sswap takes many hours [22:37] evening all [22:37] un214: Anything that will work :P [22:37] linux_: I use webcam on amsn but skype doesn`t seee that!! [22:38] basicxman: rm -rf ~basicxman/.gnom* [22:38] xanderal: it is wiping your swap 36 times with random data [22:38] sebsebseb, I officially moved away from Ubuntu a while ago... 9.04 was the last real ubuntu IMO, but 9.10 looked the best... I just started using Arch yesterday - before that I used Fedora and Debian. [22:38] Where can I find the stable relase for skype on ubuntu [22:38] un214: har har [22:38] zcat: It's true hardware RAID [22:38] why does the server install do sswap anyhow? never heard of it before! [22:38] linux_: Is there anyway to stop it? [22:38] basicxman: that's not a joke -- the idea is to reset your gnome profile [22:38] xanderal: not sure, you could try to kill the program running it, not sure what server edition uses, sswap or another app [22:39] basicxman: sudo mv ~/.gnome* ~/backup-gnome [22:39] basicxman: dont use rm, use mv [22:39] RAID , through the motherboard<< [22:39] darthvies: http://www.skype.com/go/download [22:39] linux_: mate sorry tehere is no viedo0 ! what will I do ? [22:39] linux_: How can I figure out exactly what's going on? alt+f4 doesn't show me anything. [22:40] linux_: How would I narrow down the pid of sswap? [22:40] LJRuff: yeah 9.04 was great, except for a little feature that I didn't like, and now things are going uhmm, as in mixture of bad and good. Anyway maybe 10.10 will be the next properly good release, 9.10, but much more so 10.04, are let downs for me. [22:40] xanderal: does it show that the dd command was run? [22:40] darthvies: in the partner-repo [22:40] 36 times with random is just stupid anyhow... all leading data recovery firms agree that with a modern drive there is no available or theoretical way to recoer data after even a single zero-wipe [22:40] carl-m: Yeah, dd is running right now [22:40] xanderal: can you get to a new screen with alt+ctrl+F2 (then alt+ctrl+F1 to return) [22:40] xanderal, killall sswap [22:40] carl-m: specifically -- "dd if /dev/zero of /dev/mapper/username-swap_1 [22:40] zcat[1]: does server edition use sswap? [22:40] Hrm [22:40] xanderal: linux_ctrl+alt+F7 to return [22:41] right. if that bug report is right, the problem is that invoking dd like that is just really slow [22:41] It just notified me that my install finished. =P [22:41] LJRuff: anyway going off topic here, but this is a good thing to end it with, or basically end it with, will be interesting to see how Ubuntu developers deal with Gnome 3 :) [22:41] and needs to be invoked with a larger bs parameter [22:41] iceroot: Okay, thank you. Rebooting now. [22:41] I dunno.. if that's the process name, that's how you'd kill it [22:41] Scunizi: hes in server edition === ccc is now known as cc1980 [22:41] partner repo? [22:41] basicxman: restarting x-server is ok, no need for reboot [22:41] if there is are several items listed under "dpkg --get-selections" as deinstall, are they actually uninstalled? if they arent uninstalled, how can i? and if they are uninstalled, how do i clear their entry? [22:41] What's up, y'all!? [22:41] linux_: ah.. sorry 'bout that [22:41] !partner | darthvies [22:41] darthvies: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [22:41] historically, dd has never had any sort of status output [22:41] What's Ubuntu? [22:41] iceroot: Fresh install, wanted to reboot anyways due to wireless driver changes. [22:41] basicxman: ok [22:41] !ubuntu | kandinski [22:42] kandinski: 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 [22:42] iceroot: Gnome still crashes. [22:42] kandrew, ^^ [22:42] :D [22:42] linux_: server-edition only have 2 differences from normal ubuntu. another kernel (pae) and no gui [22:42] kandrew: A Linux distribution. What are Linux distributions or distros, they are alternatives to Unix, however distros such as Ubuntu can be also used as a good alternative to Windows. [22:42] Thanks [22:42] linux_: Don't know if it had anything to do with it, but I tried "kill sswap" and got the response "bad pid", then hit alt+ctrl+f2 (nothing happened), went back to the install screen and it told me the install was finished. [22:42] I usually use cat /dev/zero > /dev/whatever for zero wipes.. dd is slow! [22:42] basicxman: error message please [22:42] !distros | kandrew [22:42] 'kandrew' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, jaunty, jaunty-backports, jaunty-proposed, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, partner, stable, testing, unstable [22:42] kandrew: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [22:42] I have no idea what ANY of that means. [22:42] iceroot: h/o === ccc is now known as cc1980 [22:42] But, I'll accept it, [22:43] xanderal: does that mean your problem is solved? [22:43] kandrew: and many others. http://www.distrowatch.com [22:43] iceroot: Where is the error log? When I login to start a new session it just hangs for a second and goes back to the login menu. [22:43] linux_: Trying to see if this is the case right now. [22:43] if there is are several items listed under "dpkg --get-selections" as deinstall, are they actually uninstalled? if they arent uninstalled, how can i? and if they are uninstalled, how do i clear their entry? [22:44] I put sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" in the termina; [22:44] darmok and jalad at tanagra [22:44] Well... I'm outta here. Too much action. Later! [22:44] beefheart: if you want to purge all configuration files and binary files, you can sudo dpkg --purge , to remove just binaries and libraries (unshared), do sudo apt-get remove [22:44] linux_: Think it's good to go. Guess I just needed to wait a tad bit longer. [22:44] linux_: Thanks for the help, you too, carl-m: and zcat:. [22:45] basicxman: /var/log/syslog maybe [22:46] is there a way to play games such as WoW or starcraft on ubuntu? [22:46] !wine | shadow4295 [22:46] shadow4295: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [22:46] !wow [22:46] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [22:46] shadow4295: sometimes there are linux version of the games, such as unreal tournament [22:47] Oh. [22:47] iceroot: Nothing really interesting in there. [22:48] basicxman: with another user you can login on gnome? [22:48] anyone know if there is an issue which slows the copy and paste in ubuntu 10.04? its not copy and pasting in nautilus half the time with key shortcuts [22:49] iceroot: Lemme create another user and try. [22:49] One last question if I want to make a java game run do I have to go to applications>System Tools> Sun Java 6? [22:50] shadow4295: just double click it? [22:50] ahh 4 minutes left :) [22:50] shadow4295: in command-line, you can java -jar *.jar or right click open with OpenJava [22:50] basicxman: mv ~/.config ~/old-config && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [22:50] iceroot: No, I can't login under another user. [22:50] I will try that ^. Thanks. [22:51] basicxman: oh [22:51] basicxman: then there is not only the config broken, if another user has the same problem [22:51] SomehelpPlz: then see if any hardware drivers avalible [22:51] iceroot: >_> All I did was edit the startup applications [22:52] iceroot: Should I just enter my server cd and repair? [22:52] Now is it possible to use a phone as a modem on this as well? [22:52] I would rather not completely reinstall. [22:52] basicxman: server? gnome? [22:52] I'd like to dial my phone and connect to the internet, but we can get to that when we reach this point. [22:53] SomehelpPlz: it is never done it tho [22:53] iceroot: Yeah I installed gnome as it will be a VNC server too and I want a GUI when using it at school. [22:53] basicxman: what changes did you to the startup-applications [22:53] iceroot: Just removed useless stuff like Bluetooth and Printing. [22:53] longest 4 minutes of my life... [22:54] n8 [22:54] basicxman: wish Ubuntu would make it easy for those to be removed [22:54] ok, I checked for the issue again, now all apps can copy in unix-style (select to add to buffer), but when pasting into same window as I copied from, it works in Terminal and Emacs, but not in gEdit or OOo 3.2 - what I copied pastes into other apps just fine, but not into where I copied from. What can I do? [22:55] linux_: They usually are, not sure exactly why I'm having trouble all of the sudden. [22:55] basicxman: gnome is starting, so you see gnome for some seconds? or is gdm crashing? [22:55] Crap.. [22:55] the download stopped [22:55] on a xulrunner-1.9.2 download... [22:55] basicxman: i've always tried to do that and it wants to uninstall ubuntu-desktop (its packaged tightly with it) [22:55] SomehelpPlz: you have a support-question? [22:56] I don't know... will it continue? [22:56] !ubuntu-offtopic | SomehelpPlz [22:56] SomehelpPlz: Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [22:56] happy 4th of july you bloody americans :) [22:56] iceroot: I suppose gdm is crashing. [22:56] hiexpo: *cough* 5th here, Au. [22:56] basicxman: but you see the password-dialog? [22:56] iceroot: Yes. [22:56] kick rocks get outta here lol [22:56] SomehelpPlz: what? wget? firefox? synaptic? apt-get? [22:56] iceroot: I then proceed to login, it accepts my credentials, then crashes back to the gdm login screen. [22:56] oh in aus yeppers [22:56] Ah, it continued. [22:57] It was the upgrade download manager thing [22:57] I was having the same issue with gnome on NetBSD [22:57] hmm [22:58] basicxman: sudo cat /var/log/gdm/* to pastebin [22:58] checking for g_malloc in -lgtk-x11-2.0... no [22:58] iceroot: Okay, will take a few minutes.

[23:04] SomehelpPlz, you can check for hardware drivers in System > Applications > Hardware Drivers [23:04] iceroot: I can't copy any of those logs because all the files within are an "Invalid argument" [23:04] there may be none listed, in that case you're good [23:04] just check for normal software updates with System > Administration > Update Manager [23:05] basicxman: Your argument is invalid? :P [23:05] SomehelpPlz: Copying them via cp -_- [23:05] (cp -R0 [23:05] h/o I'll just echo everything to a log file.

I've tried a reboot without success. [23:08] Thank you Iceman,RFJeff(or something) you helped me get that one problem solved [23:08] Now I need to find out how to dial a broadband connection?

[23:14] hey can someones help me out whats the # for 911 [23:15] That doesn't work either slidinghorn [23:15] basicxman: maybe first try this "sudo touch /etc/gdm/custon.conf && /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [23:15] omg [23:15] iceroot: Okay [23:15] SomehelpPlz, then your phone isn't yet supported and needs to have a rule written for it...your best bet is to try the forums @ this point: http://ubuntuforums.org [23:15] !omg > hiexpo [23:15] hiexpo, please see my private message === max is now known as Guest6253 [23:16] iceroot: No luck on your latter advice. [23:16] basicxman: hm [23:16] iceroot: Going to place in your pastebin to /etc/gdm/custom.conf [23:16] what [23:16] ok whatever [23:17] hiexpo: I hate that particular ubottu 'factoid' [23:17] how can i remove ubuntu default configurations so any time i change gnome themes metacity buttons dont change location? [23:17] Loshki, - sebsebseb forced it [23:19] u have to change the buttons to what u want,, a cust job.. then save it [23:19] Hi, something on my laptop is eating up HDD space in /home...a few MB per second are being used...I now have less than 750MB left on /home, and I'm not doing anything to change HDD space...how can I find out what keeps taking up free space? [23:19] hi, where can one download the ubuntu gtk theme "light" (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand#New%20GtkThemes) [23:19] khelvan: du -sh ~ [23:19] hiexpo: I know, and he does more than his fair share of support, so he's entitled, but it remains my least favorite factoid... [23:20] iceroot: No luck. [23:20] khelvan, you might want to look at du command i.e. du ~/ [23:20] iceroot: Just going to reinstall. [23:21] Pirate_Hunter: What will that tell me? Sorry, I'm pretty new :) [23:21] khelvan, I am sure that for those using ubuntu desktop (gnome) their is a disk management in the menu [23:21] basicxman: hm, sorry :( [23:21] Pirate_Hunter: It shows the bytes being used in all directories [23:21] khelvan, that will list the contents in you home directory so you'll know what is taking up space [23:21] iceroot: No worries, thank you so much for your help. [23:22] basicxman: still need the files from your home? [23:22] khelvan, http://www.watchingthenet.com/ubuntu-guide-for-windows-users-how-to-check-hard-drive-disk-space.html use disk analyser it is easier [23:22] hey! [23:22] where can i see on server1 - that i be ping.... if i ping from my local pc to server1? [23:22] which logfiles [23:23] or even can i see it with netstat? [23:23] use tcpdump [23:23] basicxman: try this "mkdir -p ~/backup-of-dotfiles && mv ~/.* ~/backup-of-dotfiles && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [23:23] not sure if ubuntu comes with it [23:23] i have debian on my server [23:23] SomehelpPlz, if you use the -h property it converts to human readable their are other commands that can be used to make it more useful and friendly but I aint going into those [23:23] iceroot: Okay [23:23] so i start tcpdump on server1 ? [23:23] rethus: #debian [23:23] HiHo [23:24] rethus: and ping is (luckily) not logged [23:24] LoHi [23:24] I had a quick question. [23:24] !ask | tarandus [23:24] tarandus: 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. :-) [23:24] haha, nice, thanks [23:24] rethus: if it has tcpdump yes, if not download wireshark [23:24] is there any way that i can either allow unexpected ssh keys to the same IP or add a second key to a remote IP so it doesnt flag as a changed key? [23:25] tarandus, I had a quick question once. But it was too quick for me and now it's gone. [23:25] i have following problem... i have virtualize my server, and have add an ip to an openvz-container... but if i enter the ne added ip, i got an timeout [23:26] Compiling: tcpdump does much output. which parms should i use? [23:26] Loshki, - i do to but i am gonna give up on it just cause of that /// silly factoid lol or omg /// I come here at night when i can't sleep and help others because usually at night backtrak and pentoo are slow so thought I'd be helpful here // but sometimes i wonder why if i am gonna be repromanded for simpleton things ya know [23:26] rethus: tcpdump wil output loads [23:26] rethus: ignore port 22 (see manpage for correct syntax) [23:27] hiexpo: you're welcome to help here, but stay on topic and keep #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter [23:27] rethus: without ssh, tcpdump is more readable [23:27] after upgrade to lucid I can't connect to my non-encrypted wirless network. I see it in wicd but get: "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address". any tips? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9547999#post9547999 [23:27] hiexpo: one of the prices you pay for a group public forum like this is that there are rules, not all of which one agrees with. But I've seen how quickly things deteriorate when the ops are unavailable, so even though I hate it, I adhere to it... [23:27] Pirate_Hunter: The problem appears to be /home/brian/.local/share/gvfs-metadata [23:28] rethus: if you want to filter icmp packets, use tcpdump -i eth0 icmp [23:28] I found a dusty old laptop in one of my boxes a few days ago and was wondering if I should throw Ubuntu on it? I'm worried about whether it'll run smoothly or not. Specifications: IBM ThinkPad T23, 1GHz Pentium 3 w/ 1GB RAM. [23:28] rethus: replace eth0 with the active interface you're pinging [23:28] i only will see, if my request comes to this VZ-container. [23:28] didn't know which one i need to filter [23:28] tarandus: i am running ubuntu on 630mhz, 1gb ram, 4gb / (eeepc 701) and its running finde with gnome (also flash is working "ok") [23:28] icmp is ping ? [23:28] oo a t23 [23:28] cwraig: there is a StrictHostKeyChecking option in /etc/ssh/ssh_config you can play with to disable the check I think... [23:29] rethus: yes icmp protocol is ping [23:29] rethus: well it will show ping packets [23:29] I dug up this old t61 the other day [23:29] iceroot: Thanks! Eeepc, nice. I'm gonna try out Linux to throw on a daily beater [23:29] loaded it up with 4G DDR2 and it flies [23:29] SomehelpPlz, it will if you do it like I typed i.e. du ~/ but it should be enough to identify which directory is taking too much space [23:30] SomehelpPlz, use disk analyser it is simpler [23:30] Loshki, thanks ill check it out [23:30] tarandus: maybe have a look at lubuntu (or lubuntu-desktop if there is no lubuntu-distri) [23:30] rethus: strictly speaking, a single ping is an icmp echo request packet from client to server followed by a corresponding icmp echo reply packet from server to client... [23:30] SomehelpPlz, sorry never mind my irc hadn't scrolled down :s [23:30] works well with "tcpdump icmp" [23:30] http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8619/2204355.swf [23:30] ROFL [23:30] Valkyrie: why did you just post that [23:31] khelvan, hmmm you sure? [23:31] Go to it. [23:31] You must [23:31] and the ping comes to my VZ-Container. thats good (for the first step [23:31] Valkyrie: why did you post that [23:31] iceroot: do you have experience with lubuntu? [23:31] !danger [23:31] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [23:31] do not go to that website [23:31] khelvan, check that folder out and see what it has [23:31] Dude. It's funny. [23:31] It made me lol like crazy. [23:31] !guidelines > Valkyrie [23:31] Valkyrie, please see my private message [23:31] pme: just in a vm with lots of ressources but its looking good [23:31] but if i try my new ip, no icmp request comes anymore to my vz :( [23:31] Pirate_Hunter: It appears that trash:.T27MFV is up to 10GB and growing [23:32] iceroot: i think i will try it [23:32] pme: its worth a try :) [23:33] rethus: what new IP are you setting? [23:33] rethus: and how are you setting it? [23:33] Pirate_Hunter: -rw------- 1 brian brian 10595057664 2010-07-04 15:33 trash:.T27MFV [23:33] khelvan, if it is trash and you dont need the items their just delete it [23:33] Hi all! how do i activate my ssh server before logging in (so that i can login remotely first) [23:33] When installing Ubuntu, does it format the hard drive that it's being installed on? [23:34] Hi all! how do i activate my ssh server before logging in (so that i can login remotely first) ? [23:34] khelvan: empty the trash bin [23:34] khelvan: is this the result of you trying to delete something? [23:34] tarandus: yes [23:34] NFischer, if you've installed openssh-server it boots up by default before login. [23:34] tarandus: depends on whay you tell it to do [23:34] tarandus: you can choose how it will install to the hard drive [23:34] tarandus: the partitions which are used/created [23:34] tarandus: you can operate windows and ubuntu on the same hard drive, if thats what your asking [23:35] tarandus: if you have an existing OS installation chances are it will be picked up and you can partition accordingly [23:35] hello i am trying to configure php from source files. After running configure --with-apxs2, i run make, and make install, but apache still prompts me to download the php file, is there something else i need to do [23:35] s3r3n1t7, it does not, it says host is down... after logging in however i can ssh the machine [23:35] tarandus: normally, it does format the disk by default. You can choose not to, but if there's something on the disk you need, it's best to have a backup of it before you start... [23:35] Compiling, Loshki, I'm not sure what caused it. There was nothing in the Trash bin. Only after I deleted that file could I empty the bin. [23:35] blazento: did you set the mime type for php? [23:35] blazento: enable php in the apache.conf [23:35] NFischer, are you ssh'ing to the machine via hostname or ip? [23:35] ok [23:35] s3r3n1t7, ip [23:35] blazento: also are you running fastcgi? [23:36] im not sure, dont think so [23:36] Thanks for all the replies- It's being backed up now and I'm making the machine stay dedicated to Ubuntu without any other OS on it. [23:36] Pirate_Hunter, Compiling, Loshki - after deleting that file and emptying my trash, it appears to be gone from the directory and the trash bin, but my /home is now at 0% free [23:36] blazento: see http://dan.drydog.com/apache2php.html [23:36] NFischer, i think the issue is not that the ssh server is down (you would get a connection rejected error), but that the networking isn't up untill after login. I have barely any knowledge of networking settings, so you can best ask the channel with a question why the networking doesn't start up before logon. [23:36] tarandus: i have xp on my hard drive for the worst case that i need to do something that only windows can [23:37] khelvan, isn't that the point everything you delete goes to trash and that builds up [23:37] s3r3n1t7, makes sense, thx [23:37] Weird problem - I just downloaded / burned 10.04. The disc works in 2 other computers but not the one I'm trying to install it on (isn't recognized). CD drive is fine, my 9.04 disc works in that machine [23:38] hey all, why is networking not present before log in? [23:38] What part of ubuntu is responsible for the laptops Fn+F1-12 shortcuts ? [23:38] khelvan, type in terminal du -sh ~/ to get a summary of the full size of your home [23:38] pme: Good idea. I run Win7 on my PC, just testing Ubuntu on the laptop to see how it'll fare with schoolwork [23:38] khelvan: my understanding is that normally, stuff you delete via nautilus gets moved to the trash directory in case you change your mind about it later. But you would probably know if you'd deleted a 10GB file. Compiling normally won't produce such big files. Maybe a nautilus bug? Re-run the diskpace monitor and see if you can see where all the space has gone... [23:38] Pirate_Hunter: But there is nothing in the trash bin. I deleted the file, emptied the trash bin, and the file is no longer in that directory, but df tells me I'm at 100% usage on the partition, even though I can't find the file anymore. [23:38] khelvan, can you paste your df output in pastebin please [23:39] JacobSingh: try booting with acpi off [23:39] Compiling: interesting, I will. [23:39] khelvan, can you try that du command as well please [23:39] khelvan: use: cd /; sudo find -name "filename" [23:39] JacobSingh: some drive models are finnicky with bootable discs, acpi helps sometimes [23:39] khelvan: e.g. cd /; sudo find -name "firmware.bin" [23:40] du helped me find the issue with the trash file - now it is gone [23:40] Ok, I'll find it [23:40] Will Ubuntu get in the way of installing drivers? I'm asking in regard to still being able to use my Fn keys after installing. [23:40] i...

[23:40] Does WINE allow me to install any windows program? [23:40] JacobSingh: yes [23:40] SomehelpPlz: some [23:41] Fresh install of ubuntu 10.04, fresh install of Google Chrome, flash shows video but no sound on youtube, any suggestions? [23:41] SomehelpPlz, some...you can visit the appdb @ winehq.org for specific information [23:41] SomehelpPlz: some will run beautifully, some will not even install [23:41] JacobSingh: you will not notice the graphic change, but the core applications will be upgraded [23:41] !appdb | SomehelpPlz [23:41] SomehelpPlz: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:41] JacobSingh: I believe it installs the theme as well you just need to change it (can someone clarify?) if not it is downloadable [23:41] can somebody tell me how to find out weat driver si musing [23:41] how do i know what drivers im using [23:41] SteamInc: for what hardware? [23:41] SomehelpPlz: not really. Some windows apps run really well in wine, some not so well, and some won't even install correctly. See the messages above to find out about a particular app... [23:42] graphics card [23:42] SomehelpPlz, WINE has its own support channel #winehq and an Application Database on their site ( http://appdb.winehq.org/ ) where you can see how well an app works [23:42] SteamInc: sudo lshw -C video [23:42] SteamInc: should tell you [23:42] khelvan, Iand your certain that you removed and emptied trash? check with disk analyser again otherwise give me a sec going to look for a command [23:42] SteamInc: or even cleverer: sudo lshw -C video | grep -i driver [23:43] Compiling: no ACPI setting (at leas explicitly in thinkpad BIOS... oh well thanks for trying [23:43] get the best from wine with play on linux :: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html [23:43] Possible to boot off of 9.10 and then swap the disk after hitting the install option :P [23:43] ? [23:43] JacobSingh: It should be in the Ubuntu install screen [23:44] not BIOS [23:44] k [23:44] JacobSingh: i wouldnt, you will damage the hardware [23:44] later [23:44] IdleOne, - happy forth of July mate [23:44] Compiling: The disk is't recognized, that's the problem [23:44] Can anyone help me switch the cursor theme? Mine won't change. [23:44] ah [23:44] Compiling: i'd return the drive under warranty and grab something else [23:44] it is recognized by other machines though... and this machine recognizes the 9.10 disk that's what's weird [23:45] hiexpo: where i live it's the fifth of july [23:45] im not having a problem with my drive O_o [23:45] pme: It nearly is the 5th for me. [23:45] Compiling: got the latest bios? [23:45] pme, - aus [23:45] same here, quarter to 5th july [23:45] ActionParsnip: im not having problems with anything what are you talking about [23:45] ActionParsnip: yeah, I think so... I mean I've never seen anything like this before... [23:46] It's a thinkpad t60p, been running Suse and Ubuntu for 3-4 years... bizarre really [23:46] khelvan, other than that I can suggest ncdu which is similar to disk analyser but for terminal it lists all your folder and its file size [23:46] Kapli: try killing npviewer.bin [23:46] burned the disk 3 times to make sure I wasn't crazy... I ugess I gotta install 9.10 and then upgrade or find a USB drive somewhere [23:46] j #windows [23:46] Kapli: if youre running ubuntu x64 [23:46] khelvan, tell how it goes im still here [23:47] Would prefer the fresh install though... can't really trust an upgrade the same way [23:47] j #windows [23:47] Pirate_Hunter: I've been using shift-delete to delete things "permanently," might that be a problem? [23:48] gonzaloaf: /j #windows [23:48] gonz- [23:48] . [23:48] JacobSingh: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded too? [23:48] is there any way of saving the channel i have on xchat??
