Pirate_Hunterkhelvan, oh thats weird most of the times you wouldn't need to reboot, hmmm... I guess the rest would be your music and videos but yeah use disk analyser just be sure and remove all that you dont need00:00
xim_i'm trying to export my notes from tomboy to HTML and then open the HTML in openoffice, but tomboy seems to use simple LF for hard return and exports it like that, then openoffice ignores the whitespace and collapses all the paragraphs into a wall of text.... any ideas?00:01

Pirate_Hunterkhelvan, also im concerned your system didn't update the hd space once the file was purged, you may want to look into that, however, that topic is beyond my skills00:01

leagristarandus, the live CD boot takes ages. My guess there would be possible optimizations bout this would require special placement of files during the iso mastering. Doable but tricky. I dont know of opensource iso tools able to order files on specific tracks.00:21

ABBADONHello, I'm having an issue with bochs in Ubuntu 10.04 - when I was using 8.04, I was able to load it via a script, but now for some reason whenever I try to mount and use the floppy image, I get a message saying there is no bootable device.  I've searched Google, and everything is correct in the scripts as far as I can tell.  Are floppy images now loaded on a different location than in 8.04?00:38
edewas hoping to solve it without wiping the card :P00:38
E8newallmOh :P00:38
mneptokletalis: snes9x-x and snes9x-express have 64 bit versions00:38

sebsebsebvladikoff: server aye?00:40
tarandusa browser war is taking place in my head right now00:41
leagrisWould it be possible to monitor file access pattern of a live boot cd for example using qemu, then generate a weighted list for genisoimage -sort filelist. Thus, It could greatly improve livecd boot time by limiting DVD reader seeks.00:41
vladikoffsebsebseb, yeah i just wanted to run an upgrade, not sure what happend00:41
Jordan_UABBADON: What are you trying to accomplish exactly? Does "qemu -fda /path/to/floppy_image" do what you need?00:41
sebsebsebtarandus: well Firefox :)  other browsers you can use sometimes as a secondary though,  well thats how I do things :)00:41
sebsebsebvladikoff: the server you mean the repos?  or the server edition of Ubuntu or what?00:41
vladikoffsebsebseb, server edition of ubuntu, i had it working for a year00:41
sebsebsebvladikoff: oh00:42
sebsebsebvladikoff: well00:42
GryllidaCan you help me with unix style copy/paste? (select to copy, middle click to paste) It works from one app to another one, pasting into same app works in Firefox and Terminal and Emacs but not OOo 3.2 or gEdit. Ubuntu 10.04. How can I troubleshoot it?00:42
vladikoffsebsebseb, indeed00:42
sebsebsebvladikoff: if your not alwasy going to upgrade the server, stay with the LTS, thats recommended00:42
sebsebsebvladikoff: also  they have a channel00:42
sebsebseb!server | vladikoff00:42
ubottuvladikoff: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server00:42
vladikoffsebsebseb, 9.10 is an lts00:42
sebsebsebvladikoff: no it is not00:43
vladikoffoh snap00:43
sebsebsebvladikoff: altough it is still supported untill the end of April next year00:43
sebsebsebvladikoff: when the previous LTS 8.04 will run out of support on the desktop00:43
ABBADONJordan_U: Not exactly.  I'm using bochs.  My specific commands that I use are:00:43
ABBADONsudo losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/floppy00:43
ABBADONsudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt00:43
ABBADONsudo cp/src/bootable/image /mnt/bootable/image00:43
FloodBot1ABBADON: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.00:43
ABBADONsudo umount /dev/loop000:43
ABBADONsudo /sbin/losetup -d /dev/loop000:43
sebsebsebvladikoff: then the server version of 8.04 still has another idea,  anyway yeah doing a clean install of 10.04 Server Edition sounds ok00:44

sebsebsebvladikoff: another idea?  uh  compelty typed wrong thing there.  another two years support on the server00:44
ABBADONWhoa, sorry about that.  I'll use pastebin next time.00:44
sebsebsebvladikoff: and yeah check your ISO before using :)00:45
sebsebseb!md5sum | vladikoff00:45
ubottuvladikoff: 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_Windows00:45

ubottuSee https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs.00:45
vladikoff:) great thanks00:45
hiexpoopen terminal type md5sums  filename00:46
Jordan_UABBADON: My question is *why* are you using bochs, and what is your end goal?00:46
ninjamasterotherwise your the "starup disc creator" to make an USB Pen bootable with the image.. but always check md5 sum.. :)00:46
sebsebsebhiexpo: well nearly,    instead vladikoff would open termianl and type md5sum filename00:46
sebsebsebhiexpo: you put an s after md5sum00:46
hiexpooops md5sums filename00:47
sebsebsebvladikoff: theres also sha1sum and sha256sum these days I would actsaully do all three, but thats not really needed,  altough if you want to be 100% sure your ISO is good, thats a good way to do it00:47
hiexpotypo00:47
ninjamasterotherwise look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM00:47
sebsebsebvladikoff: also I download the ISO's using HTTP/FTP personally, but if you get the torrent you could  then check in torrent client that it downloaded everything00:47
ABBADONI'm trying to get into OS development, and I'm using bochs in order to test out the beginning of this kernel tutorial I'm going through.  Also, I'm on a system that's about 10 years old.  Would qemu be better for me to use?00:48

sebsebsebhiexpo: ok00:49
ninjamasterjust joined this channel 10 minutes ago00:49
Jordan_UABBADON: If you just need to boot a virtual floppy disk then qemu is more standard, and therefore better supported.00:49
sebsebsebninjamaster: oh right00:49
ninjamasterhehe :)00:49
sebsebsebninjamaster: well I did use the factoid after  you joined, but since it wasn't directly aimed at you, easy enough to miss00:50

minderaserraggs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows01:34
Haxorsquircle: ok01:34
squircleunderdev: linux uses a lot of space for disk caches and stuff; it's using your memory as efficiently as possible01:35
raggssquircle: i didnt lose it installing windows and i have tried the wiki01:35
squircleraggs: the process is still the same; did something not work?01:35
raggssquircle: yes, the last time i tried it something did not work, i dont recall atm what that was01:36
hendrik_ bmj01:36
underdevsquircle: doesn't look like it.  Cache is reported seperately.01:36
underdevsquircle: looks like a huge memory leak to me01:36
squircleunderdev: "free -m" will give you the most accurate data. if you pastebin the entire output of the command, I'll be able to tell you the truth. and as far as I know the memory leak was fixed01:36
underdevcould be firefox, chromium, or chrome01:36
squircleunderdev: all three are memory hogs. they're browsers after all!01:37
underdevsquircle: but they are closed now.  http://pastebin.com/Hp5yvLS801:38
squircleunderdev: don't forget that 1329 + 80 of the 2959 used are caches01:38
squircleunderdev: "used" is everything-in (including caches)01:38
underdevsquircle: right. do you see that i'm using 1.5gig not including caches?01:39
osmodivsWhat is athread in a CPU?01:39
squircleHaxor: to confirm, it's wired, not wireless, correct?01:39
squircleosmodivs: each process (program) can have multiple threads; different calculation streams occurring at once. think of it as multiple roads so that cars can get through faster (pretty poor analogy; try wikipedia for more info)01:40
Haxorsquircle: sure is wired01:40
afallenhopeI have a quick question. If i select the "use largest free space" the 80GB that I freed will be all Linux right? it'll auto-create the partitions including swap?01:40
underdevsquircle: and again, in system monitor, if i add up the memory listed by the processes listed, it's about 300meg.  which seems about right.01:40
osmodivsLike cache?01:41
osmodivsok, i'll see in Wikip01:41
squircleunderdev: you are correct. i'd suggest running "watch free" and seeing how quickly the memory is increasing; report a bug if you think it's a memory leak01:41
underdevokay, so there is a giant gapping memory leak somewhere.  Thank you squircle01:41

linux_is_my_herotarandus: when you first install ubuntu, it acts different than it does when you reboot without the livecd (or livedvd).  So you may have been running the drivers without even knowing it.02:13

Doonz_ruari one sec02:17
Jordan_UDoonz_: Ahh, the problem may have something to do with the fact that you have an msdos and gpt label, when normally with gpt your msdos label should only contain a single protective partition.02:17

taranduslinux_is_my_hero: I do ;) will try your suggestion.02:20
Jordan_UDoonz_: Never mind what I said about GPT, I was just confused since /dev/sda uses an msdos label while /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc use gpt (and have a proper protective partition)02:20
linux_is_my_heroanyone whos listening, if youre considering a verizon or sprint 3g wireless access card, totally get one.  im sitting in my car, waiting to watch the fireworks, and i was bored so im in here :-)02:20

tarandusGryllida: Yes.03:26
ross_i love ubuntu and the people who help people who wants to learn ubuntu03:26
mikedsubutom - doesnt linux cache available memory while not actually using it ...making it appear its using it up when its actually a good thing?03:26
Stupendousstevemikeds: There is no reason you cannot install both KDE and Gnome, you can choose between them when you log in03:26
tarandusSeriously, I would have dropped Ubuntu already if it wasn't for the community in this channel03:27

Stupendousstevetarandus: Are you using an older computer? You might consider xubuntu03:27
mikedsTARA:  What hardware, what issues?03:27
tarandusStupendoussteve: To test out Linux, yeah, I'm using a dusty machine03:27
Gryllidatarandus: Hmmmm. Weird. Do you have something monstrous with your software, such as a ancient video, something of this kind? What do you see in System > Administration > System Monitor > processes tab, what is taking most CPU?03:27
rigelwhat the heck is gvfsd and why is it eating up all my ram03:28
Gryllidatarandus: s/software/hardware03:28
Stupendousstevetarandus: Ah, in that case I would definitely try xubuntu. Modern Ubuntu expects a modern machine03:28

gryllida"virtual"?03:30
Stupendousstevetarandus: And as you mentioned, it works but just slowly? If you _just_ meet the minimums you still might enjoy a lighter version03:30
tarandusGryllida: I'm not sure what's using up the CPU? The Gwibber service is using 10mb of memory in the Processes tab, that shouldn't be a problem at all though03:30
prashrigel, try a reboot and see if it helps.  In usually doesn't take up that much memory.03:30
puffAnybody here use ubuntu with a palm visor?03:30
Compilinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS03:30

evonis there an ubuntu program that will test computer hardwarre for errors?03:31
gryllida tarandus: what Gwibber service? Are you on Gnome? It is at System > Administration > Sysytem Monitor > Processes tab03:31
gryllidatarandus: DSL03:31

prashrigel, from a virtual terminal "sudo service gdm restart"03:33
ross_Compiling: is that a break down command?03:33
Compilingrigel: it handles automounts of various resources, i wouldnt disable it03:33
ross_Compiling: to show what program is using how much and such?03:33
puffI'm trying to help my cousin recover her palm visor contacts.  Her physical jack is fubared (4-year-old being "helpful" :-).03:34
Compilingrigel: usb sticks would not automount among many other issues03:34
puffHer visor has IRDA, and I have a thinkpad t43p which supposedly has IRDA.  I'm running ubuntu on the thinkpad.  I'm hoping I can sync to my thinkpad and recover her contacts.03:34
gryllidatarandus: maybe I missed it, what do you see in system monitor03:34
Compilingross_: if you want breakdown by program you can use top, its like task manager03:34
Stupendousstevetarandus: It's one of the more full-featured Ubuntu versions. A little more lightweight, I have run xfce on a 100mhz machine with 32gb ram03:34
Compilingross_: if you want a GUI, use gnome system monitor03:34
Stupendoussteveer, mb ram :)03:34
rigelprash: that worked, thanks.03:34
ross_Compiling: where is top03:35
prashrigel, you're welcome.03:35
Stupendousstevetarandus: That is to say, full-features lightweight distros. You'll likely find other ones are a bit foreign to use03:35
ross_nevermind lol03:35
tarandusyeah03:35
Compilingross_: If you want to see which are the top 10 memory hogs for example: ps -eo pmem,pid,command | sort -r -k1 | less03:35

evonthune3, will i've been getting artifacts on the screen and lately my computer has been quite slow in linuc but running fine in windows. up to recently I've been able to run compiz with no issues but now I have to run the computer with no effects at all.03:39
minderaserI've been having trouble getting Win7 and Lucid to play nicely together (dual boot). After getting Win7 installed and running correctly I booted a livecd, updated grub2 and Lucid is booting once again. Win7 shows in the grub menu but will not boot, all I get is a blinking cursor.03:39
tarandusGryllida: Done. Everything is at 0 except the system monitor itself at 18%03:39
gryllidatarandus: if I got it right, you came here with the question why ubuntu is slower than winxp pro, if I fetched the nick right, so sorting them by cpu and dealing with top ones should solve the issue03:39
mikedsExactly:  Linux can work well on older hardware, but I would think Ubuntu is the Win 7 of the Linux world as far as weightTarandus: you could try Netbook Remix - I dont know if its lighter that Xbuntu, but it runs ok for me on a Celeron 1.4 with 512 ram03:40

thefatloverboyhola03:41
mikedsTarandus: if screen scrolling is low on web pages you may need to find a better video driver.03:41
tarandusGryllinda: The boot time is viciously long, and so are load/startup times for applications (like the web browser), going to different 'places' (explorer), and more03:41

mikedsI loaded the Netbook edition onto my older laptop knowing that most netbooks were lowered powered underpowered etc03:55
mikedsit seemed like a good match03:55
StupendoussteveMostly the UI, Network Edition is optimized for a smaller screen03:55
rwwtarandus: the interface is different. that's about it03:55
SmoochCouldn't of put it better myself :D03:55
mikedsI agree: it has a nice layout on its interface, very usable with less clicking thru menus03:55
taranduswhat specs do you need to know? i'm on a thinkpad t23 running pentium 3 @ 1ghz w/ 1gb ram. i'm going to assume the old processor is the problem, but i'm wondering why it was doing more than fine with xppro03:55
StupendoussteveXP Pro was released when those specs were considered outstanding ;)03:56
tarandusbut ubuntu looks gorgeous, i'm thinking of installing it side-by-side windows 7 on my main desktop03:56
newboon2agetarandus: there must be more different under the hood (and i don't know everything about it) but on the surface, the desktop is aimed at a small screen so there is a simplified menu with fewer/larger icons.03:56

rwwSb__: weird. Is it reproducible, or did it only happen the one time?04:08
afallenhopeOnce installed .. can I change the ex4 to ex3 without breaking the os?04:08
Smoochafallenhope: Do that by partitioning manually04:08
Smoochand choosing the ext3 file system04:08
afallenhopeSmooch,  look04:08
Sb__rww - i found a post about it, it seems to have problems when it gets to en_us.utf-8  (if i hit alt f4 to see what is going on)04:08
Sb__rww - seems from what others have said it happens every time04:09
rwwafallenhope: ext4 with default options isn't backwards-compatible to ext3, no. If you want ext3, use manual partitioning04:09
RJamesmikeds: 'Commands: How can I run a system file check in ubu?' Is that some kind of command?04:09
prashafallenhope, If you prefer ext3, go fot it - manual partitioning04:10
SmoochIf you can, i'd suggest ext404:10
afallenhopeWhy ext4.. i've heard nothing but nightmare issues with it04:11
frank_hello everybody04:11
Smoochafallenhope: I'v installed tons of installations of 10.04, and its worked great04:11
rwwSb__: how much memory does it have?04:11
prashafallenhope, contrary to what others have said, my ext4 has been working just fine04:11
Sb__rww - over 200 megs i believe (it's been stored away a while so i forget the exact amount)04:12
afallenhopeSmooch,  and prash http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113371904:12
Sb__rww - this seems to be close to what's happening to me, although i'm trying to install not upgrade http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86567904:13
rwwSb__: Could possibly be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/202959 . Comment #13 has a workaround, but it's a little complicated.04:13
prashafallenhope, I have heard of problems when transferring very huge amounts of data.  That article is from april 2009.  We are in Lucid now.04:14
mikedsRJAMES:  a command to check all the files and make sure nothing is wrong04:14
mikedslike a sfc /scannow in windows04:14
prashafallenhope, I am not saying ext4 is the best out there.  Just saying I personally have not encountered any issues04:14
tertl3prash, btfs?04:15
afallenhopeprash, and hence the reason as to why I'm trying to stick with it04:15
mikedsext3 may be safer overall since its more established04:15
Smoochafallenhope: Just do manual partitioning then??04:15
prashtertl3, with maverick04:15
RJamesmikeds: oh .. you are asking, not telling.  I think fsck will do it but I'm not sure.04:15
Sb__rww - urgh,  i'm afraid that's beyond my abilities04:15
afallenhopeSmooch, the thing is.. hmm maybe you'll respond better to picture hold up I'll give you a picture..04:16
prashafallenhope, that's fine ext3 should be just fine.  I have one of my karmic on ext3 and that is fine too.04:16
tertl3its all good04:16
tertl3i still use ntfs :)04:16
mikedsFSCK warns of sever damage - either your messing with me or maybe it has to be unmounted somehow before running fsck04:16
prashtertl3, last I heard they were still ironing out the problems with btfs. ext4 was thought of to be a stop gap file system.04:18
afallenhopeprash, http://imagebin.ca/view/KoaYUYt.html04:18
prashtertl3, btrfs04:18
afallenhopeSmooch, http://imagebin.ca/view/KoaYUYt.html04:18
prashafallenhope, You need to create an extended partition on that 80GB unalllocated.  Inside of which you can create your root(/) and swap partitions (at a minimum)04:20
Smoochsda is external, right?04:20
mikedsAfllenhope: I am lost - have you already partitioned for ext3 and added a boot sector /04:20
Smoochnvm.04:20
puffCan anybody give me help getting bluetooth working between my laptop and a palm tungsten?04:20
mikedsroot I should say04:20
prashmikeds, from his image, I do not see that04:21
Roastedat one point on my laptop, I had a monitor connected to it with dual screen. I no longer have the monitor connected, yet about 50% of the time I boot up, it still thinks its connected cause windows often launch on that window. Its an intel card. What can I do? It gets VERY old booting up to find my login screen is gone because its on the 2nd monitor that doesnt exist.04:21
newboon2ageafallenhope: also that post is like 33 pages long and when you read the recent posts at the end they are all pretty positive re: ext404:21
puffthe tungsten isn't discovering my laptop, but I'm not certain that my laptop is discoverable.  How do I check04:21
Smoochafallenhope: How about, download virtualbox and create a test vm, then format that to the same as yours, and test it :)04:22
grumeteHi, I can't hear any sound now... at the beginning it was alright. I have a partition windows/ubuntu, and I can't hear anything in any of them, any idea, thanks in advance.04:22
afallenhopesigh.. didn't know i bothered you guys.. I'll leave everyone be sorry for wasting your time04:22
SmoochDon't bother me04:22
Smooch:P04:22
afallenhopeWell like.. I know where you guys are coming from.. I'm just trying to understand is all04:23
prashafallenhope, that's y we have this forum04:23
Flannelafallenhope: "Use largest freespace" or whatever auto-partition things should create a / and a swap partition04:23
Smoochafallenhope: You need to enter the ubuntu installer, and format that free unallocated space to ext304:23
kokozedmanhey guys04:24
kokozedmani'm having serious troubles with my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS servers04:24
SmoochDo you understand how to format using ext3?04:24
afallenhopeSmooch, okay.. so after that..  have it install there?04:24
dennisI have BT4 and Ubuntu installed and am using the Grub2 scripts on the BT4 partition to generate the menu. My question: My Ubuntu updates are getting downloaded but Grub is not booting into them. I have booted int BT4 and ran the grub-update script but it is not changing the Grub menu.04:24
kokozedmanthey all have extremely weird time and clock issues04:24
Smoochkokozedman: Visit #ubuntu-server channel04:24
kokozedmanSmooch: ok thanks04:24
Flannelkokozedman: What time and clock issues?04:24
Smoochafallenhope: As always backup important data before installing something new04:24
Sb__rww - can I enter the grub menu if i can't get ubuntu to install?  in other words, can I enter the menu from the alternate install cd?04:24
prince_jammysdennis: ##backtrack-linux04:25
afallenhopeSmooch,  so okay.. formatted it to ext3 now re-run the installer?04:26
prince_jammysor one #04:26
dennisthanks prince04:26
Smoochafallenhope, Format it IN the ubuntu installer04:26

kbrosnanRoasted: reconfigure your xorg.conf not to list the second monitor04:27
punkin...04:27
afallenhopeSmooch,  http://imagebin.ca/view/qzN5BI.html04:27
Roastedkbrosnan, I didnt think intel's dual screen manager even to uched the xorg file??04:28
Smoochafallenhope: click change04:28
afallenhopeSmooch, so it's a primary ext3 with mountpoint to /04:28
kbrosnanRoasted: worth a check if you are not sure. I know with nvidia that was my issue, later found out that you can modify the number of monitors in userspace.04:29
Smoochafallenhope: I think so04:29
Roastedkbrosnan, hm, the path for xorg is /etc/xorg.conf right?04:29
afallenhopewill it auto-create swap?04:29
Roasteder /etc/x11/xorg.conf04:29
puffHow do I find/set the bluetooth pin for pairing?04:29
prashafallenhope, You need to create an extended first otherwise you run out of partitions for swap unless you do not want swap.04:29
kbrosnanRoasted: yes04:30
afallenhopeprash, so I do that using GParted?04:30
prashafallenhope, my preference would be gparted04:30
Jordan_URoasted: /etc/X11/xorg.conf (note the capital 'X')04:30
RoastedJordan_U, yeahhhh I remember that. :P04:31
afallenhopeWell I guess I could install as EXT4... erase the EXT4 make a new one to EXT3 and then install ..04:32
Roastedkbrosnan, uh, I dont have a xorg.conf................04:32
mikedsafallen: have u already ruined the windows boot on this drive?  if not maybe find an old drive for testing linux on04:33
Jordan_URoasted: That's normal, an xorg.conf is not needed by default.04:33
RoastedJordan_U, hm...04:33
RoastedJordan_U, well, if I dont have a xorg.conf, what in the world is causing my laptop to *think* about 50% of the time theres a 2nd monitor connected when there is not?04:33
mikedsRoasted" do you have a hotkey or something that sends a signal to the vga out on your laptop that might be stuck on04:36
mikedsFunction F4 on my laptop does this04:36
puffHow do I set the pin on my bluetooth?04:36
Roastedmikeds, no. I have no hot key. Not to mention, this happens before I can even log in. Sometimes Ill start up and Ill just have the purple background with no login screen. Turns out the login screen is on the other monitor that doesnt exist04:36
Roastedmikeds, OH! you mean a pre-defined one. I thought you meant if I set one up myself04:36
mikedsno thay have them - this is an older compaq with them04:37
mikedsthe F4 key has a little monitor logo on it04:37
Roastedmikeds, the thing is, when it thinks I have a 2nd monitor, myr esolution on my laptop is off. So when I reset my resolution back to normal, all of my icons in the upper panel in the right side are out of order. Its a minor thing, but I HATE reorganizing them.04:37
Roastedmikeds, it looks like ALT F8 is the key for my laptop04:37
Roastedmikeds, gonna reboot till the weird screen thing happens again and test it04:38
mikedsk - just grasping at straws here04:38

puffArgh... so, I tried to initiate pairing from the laptop, which seemed to go okay, the laptop saw the tungsten and I selected it.04:39
puffit said "type this PIN into the tungsten", the tungsten had a popup saying "enter the PIN for yourlaptop"04:39
puffentered the PIN, the laptop said pairing failed.04:39

eNonsensehey guys.  i'm having a little problem installing ubuntu on my laptop from CD.  i boot up the install disc and it goes to a black screen with this at the bottom and doesn't do anything else.  i've tried burning the image twice.  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2561448/DSCF4338.JPG04:48
Smoochdid ufw disable?04:48
Smoochtry /etc/init.d/ufw status? or service ufw status?04:48
Niglopis there a way i can make a new user and transfer all the files from my 1st user to my 2nd?04:49
eNonsensecan anyone tell me what that icon means?  it's kinda cryptic.  i don't even know what the first one is.04:49
prashafallenhope, In the "ready to install screen", click advanced and make sure /dev/sda is checked (NOT /dev/sda1 or any other partitions)04:50
basicxmanSmooch: I don't think ufw is the problem, it's disabled. eth0 has it's inet address set to 192.168.1.110.  However I'm using ra0 as my network interface.04:50
Smoochbasicxman: Your not using a proxy?04:50
basicxmanSmooch: No.04:51
basicxmanSmooch: Can I edit the inet address of my eth0 interface?04:51
Smoochbasicxman: Are you using DHCP?04:51
Niglopis there a way i can make a new user and transfer all the files from my 1st user to my 2nd?04:52

prashvin73, I have not done this on a laptop and so do not want to misguide you.  I hope someone else can chip in.  In the meantime, are you able to read any other CD/DVD at all?05:28
Vin73prash: yes, I had installed Fedora 12 on this laptop previously....and that installed and worked without any issues....I had installed Fedora 12 from a DVD as I did in the case of Ubuntu....I am using Compaq nx901005:30
abhi_navangelbaby, temporarily remove anyone icon then there will be free space now move that panel using mouse after placing it to top again add that itcon to panel.05:30
prashVin73, logically, if there were no hardware changes between now and then, we should not be messing with the hardware.05:31
abhi_navVin73, can you reapeat your question quicly for me?05:31

tonsofpcsmneptok: did you read my question at all?05:50
Vin73WellDone: Under Advanced menu, I can see External Poiniting Device, Legacy USB support and Print Port Mode05:50
tonsofpcstrust me, i know the apt commands05:51
tonsofpcsI just spent 2.5 hours fixing apt.05:51
mneptoktonsofpcs: yes, you removed requisite elements of ubuntu-desktop. reinstalling it will pull in all its dependencies like X, gdm and gnome05:51
waracethis is a total noob question but does anyone know where I can change the power output to my wifi card i just got an alfa 1000mw card if I am correct it is the TxPower05:51
Vin73abhi_nav: Under Advanced menu, I can see External Poiniting Device, Legacy USB support and Print Port Mode05:51
tonsofpcs>> ok, i just got out of dep-hell.  Do I distupgrade and then reinstall X aand gdm and gnome and all thatt or do i reinstall them then distupgrade?05:51

Vin73abhi_nav: looks like this enabling option is not provided in my bios05:52
terrytonsofpcs: You can probably do: apt-get install xorg05:52
mneptoktonsofpcs: the "all that" line and saying "i want a working system" sort of implies you want Ubuntu back the way it ships.05:52
tonsofpcsthen you told me to upgrade all my packages which I just noted that I am doing now05:52

tonsofpcsmneptok: I'm looking for a direct answer to the question I asked, not someone to try interpreting it as something completely unrelated05:54
mneptoktonsofpcs: so seek advice elsewhere. i'm done.05:54

tonsofpcs>> ok, i just got out of dep-hell.  Do I distupgrade and then reinstall X aand gdm and gnome and all thatt or do i reinstall them then distupgrade?05:55

mneptoktonsofpcs: BTW. Ubuntu Studio is not an official Ubuntu derivative, so we do not support it here.05:56
tertl3tonsofpcs, do you play guitar?05:56
Dr_WillisIve  always heard to reinstall 'whatever-desktop' befor doing the dist upgrades.05:56
thune3warace: there may be a better way but: assuming device is wlan0 "iwlist wlan0 txpower" will show you available powers and "iwconfig wlan0 txpower <setting>" should apply changes.05:56

prince_jammystonsofpcs: why do you have to reinstall that stuff at all?05:59
tertl3tonsofpcs, I am not familiar with that package05:59
tonsofpcswhen you have things trying to install or remove and they won't due to dependency issues but they lock your system because they're trying to install/uninstall05:59
tonsofpcs(you can't do anything else until they're fixed)05:59

tertl3tonsofpcs, ubuntu doesnt really have that problem06:00
abhi_navmnemon, prince_jammys i downloaded latest version. is latest 3.1 available in apt-get?06:00
Dr_WillisI would reinstall the apps, then do the dist-upgrade - thats how ive heard its supposed to be done.06:00

abhi_navcan i check if a software i want to instal which version of it is available with apt-get?06:01
prince_jammysyes06:01
abhi_navprince_jammys, i want latest06:01

tertl3tonsofpcs, idk06:02

waracewell the crapy alfa card said it would do 1000mw and it wont let me set more the 501mw heh06:07
waracefeel shammed now06:08
afromanhas anybody been able to enable multi touch gestures on an Alps Touchpad?06:10
thune3warace: i think recieve sensitivity decreases when you increase output power. 100mW for transmit power is huge. 10-20 would be typical. Unless you are trying to go 1000 meters, you have plenty of power.06:10
waracehmmm I am trying to increase the card to recieve a better signal from my brothers room which is all the way in the other side of the house a bit far06:12
waracerecieving now but the card works better in windows with the driver the factory provided06:14
thune3warace: maybe also play with the iwconfig "sens" variable, change channels, and consider setting frag to 512.06:15
waracetried all channels on router he is on the cleanest one06:16
waracehmm i am guessing sens is for sensitivity06:16
afallenhopehey is there a way of stopping this blinking wifi thing..06:17
prashafallenhope, is that a dell.  BTW did dual boot work?06:18
thune3warace: reading up on it i'm not sure 'sens' really does anything anymore06:18
abhi_navafallenhope, blinking 'wifi'?06:19
waracethune3 thanks06:19
Smoochafallenhope: did it install?06:19

Ponderahey how do i enable shmconfig?06:20
waraceI think I will buy a higher dBi antena06:20
thune3warace: if you are just surfing and stuff, wireless-b band tends to have better range (11M and less in rate setting)06:20
abhi_navafallenhope, it blinks when there is data transmission. nothing odd in it06:20
Random832Pondera: were you told you needed to do that to configure your touchpad?06:21

mikedsdoes ssh tunnel allow you to see a GUI?06:29

afallenhopeabhi_nav, huh? i did yeah.. everything worked now it's the stupid LED thing I'm trying to stop06:29
Dr_Willismikeds:  Or you can ssh to a remote. run an app. and have it appear locally. If you set it up right06:29

abhi_navoh no sorry afallenhope i want to answer user1_06:30
abhi_navuser1_, try partitioning from live cd?06:30
mikedsRoasted: I guess the Function key was not the issue?06:31
baltazorDr_Willis: not found :(06:31
Dr_Willisuser1_:  could be hardware related. Is this a USB flash drive or a usb hard drive?06:31
abhi_navafallenhope, and for yor blinking led i dont know solution but i know that it will not burn your led.06:31
Roastedmikeds, well sometimes I boot and its 1 screen, but not the right resolution. that key doesnt fix the resolution on the fly. :(06:32
ilhuicaminaHello, i'm new using ubuntu, i installed it yesterday but, i think i have a bug....could someone help me?06:32
user1_abhi_nav : no live cds. i did partition from gparted on my lucid. it went through fine . i created a fat32 parition. then i mounted it and wrote some data. ejected and data is gone when mounted again06:32
Dr_Willisbaltazor:  i got a hit when i googled for 'compiz ppa'06:32
afromanRoasted: did U try sys-->pref-->monitors06:32
user1_Dr_Willis: it is a kingston 256gb usb drive06:32
Roastedafroman, yes. But when I reboot, sometimes it doesnt hold the settings.06:32
RoastedSometimes it does, other times it doesnt.06:32
Loshkiafallenhope: just stick a bit of tape over it...06:32
abhi_navuser1_, in last month when i do very same thung as u gparted destroyed my pen drive. now it cant be detected06:33
afromanRoasted: it should hold the settings06:33
devzerohi i want to know if ubuntu netbook work with the wireless card Atheros AR5007EG chipset AR2425 without wifimad or ndiswrapper06:33
Dr_Willisuser1_:  take hd out of usb enclosure. try it on  a sata/ide connection and see if it still has same issue. It very well could be the hd is going bad.06:33
abhi_navuser1_, mine also same lucid06:33
Roastedafroman, it does not. Most of the time it does, but I sat here and rebooted 5 times and bingo - didnt hold the settings06:33
afromanRoasted: did U press apply?06:33
Roastedafroman, came back with 1024x768 resolution when native is 1280x80006:33
Roastedafroman, of course. :P06:33
Roastedafroman, I hit apply and just kept rebooting06:33
Dr_Willisuser1_:  unless you are meaning its a 256gb FLASH drive? thats a big big. :)06:34
Roastedit was fine.b ut then one time it came back with 1024x768. Had no idea why.06:34
ilhuicaminai have a problem with the go-home-applet06:34
Roastedits been doing this... not sure how to fix it.06:34
user1_Dr_Willis: its a flash drive. not a enclosure06:34
Roastedit started on 9.10, but I formatted and put 10.04 on it about 3 days ago. I have my partitions separate (home and root are separate) and I formatted root, but kept my home directory in tact.06:34
Roastedyet it STILL happens. even tho I formatted root.06:34
afromanRoasted: coz I know that just by going to pref-->monitors the settings usual adjust themselves automatically06:34
Roastedno idea why06:34
user1_Dr_Willis: that's the problem. but it's detected and everything is fine. the OS is not supporting it if i am not wrong06:34
Dr_Willisuser1_:  i dident even realize they made them 256 GB in size..06:34
Ponderaok is there a program for photos where its like a "tabletop" and i can manipulate the pictures like zoom with to finger, toss them to the side and move them around all using my touch pad ?06:34
Dr_Willisuser1_:  thats possible.. but ive never seen/tried any that large.06:35
Roastedafroman, if it thinks Im in dual monitor mode (which I can tell by sliding the mouse over ot the far right, itll just keep going). and I go to sys pref monitors, it fixes itself right away.06:35
=== Rez is now known as LoRez
devzerohi i want to know if ubuntu netbook work with the wireless card Atheros AR5007EG chipset AR2425 without wifimad or ndiswrapper06:35
user1_Dr_Willis: the directory size is 16kb and not normal 4kb06:35
Dr_Willisuser1_:  try making a small partition at the front. try some 'other' os to partition it perhaps?06:35
Roastedafroman, BUT, sometimes it gives me 1024x768 resolution when I use 1280x800.06:35
devzero?06:35
devzerois an aspire one06:35
Roastedafroman, that doesnt fix instantly. I have to re-set that.06:35
Roastedafroman, then of course it screws up my arrangement of things in the upper right corner of the panel.06:35
Roastedafroman, total pain... and shouldnt be that way... just trying to figure out if theres a fix.06:35
Dr_Willisdevzero:  most parts in netbooks are decently well supported.  - whats the specific # of aspire one? theres several out now.06:36
afromanRoasted: did U try to fix it throu xorg?06:36
Dr_Willisdevzero:  for my Older AAO. it works  out of the box.06:36
user1_Dr_Willis: did all kinds of experiments. the problem is it writes and when re mounted it says the used space is that much but contents are empty06:36

Roastedafroman, I was told I didnt need a xorg.conf and the fact I dont have one means xorg.conf isnt the issue.06:36
Dr_Willisdevzero:  mine is about a year and a half old now - no issues with it.  You could always test with a flash drive and the netbook edition06:37
Ponderaok is there a program for photos where its like a "tabletop" and i can manipulate the pictures like zoom with to finger, toss them to the side and move them around all using my touch pad ?06:37

ubottuilhuicamina: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)06:37
afromanif it's not xorg, which do U use instead?06:37
Roastedafroman, I never set anything up. I just installed ubuntu 10.04 and everything worked. I didnt install any video drivers - none were available. I assume theyre integrated in the kernel since its an intel and intel is pretty awesome with drivers.06:38
devzeroso, just try live mode in ubuntu netbook if it work? // if it have to install the driver with madwifi or ndiswrapper what can i do if i havent a cable internet conexion?06:39
Dr_Willisdevzero:  i alwyas plug in a cable. :)06:40
ilhuicaminaoh, sorry....you see...i have a problem but i don't know what is causing it, when i turn my computer on, and i try to open any apply...it umm minimizes, and send me to home06:40

devzeroi havent06:40
Dr_Willisdevzero:  i havbe 1 laptop out of 4 that ive had to use a cable to get the drivers.06:40
Roastedafroman, I did that earlier - its blank06:40
=== joel is now known as Guest15822
Roastedafroman, I CD'd into /etc/X11 and xorg.conf didnt exist.06:40
Dr_Willisdevzero:  if not . then theres a little bit of work involved.06:40
RoastedI'm telling you - I do not have a xorg file. I just don't.06:40
Dr_Willisdevzero:  i found it easier to find a cable/connection.06:40

Dr_Willisdevzero:  ive not had to ever 'compile' the wireless drivers.   Ive heard of others just having to download the proper .debs and moving them over/installing. but never compiling06:42
devzerono no no for the drivers to compile the wifimad app to install driver06:43
Ponderaok is there a program for photos where its like a "tabletop" and i can manipulate the pictures like zoom with to finger, toss them to the side and move them around all using my touch pad ?06:44
Dr_Willisdevzero:  no idea.  You are getting ahead of yourself. its possible you wont need to do any of that . try a netbook cd/usb and see if it works.06:44
abhi_navfspot?06:44

Roastedafroman, I know.06:45
Roastedafroman, but its not like my desktop where I have an nvidia driver to install via hardware drivers.06:45
Roastedafroman, I did not install a driver, and I do not have a xorg file. period.06:45
abhi_navPondera, fspot?06:45
afromanRoasted: I got that06:45
Ponderaf spot has a table top like feature abhi_nav06:46
afromanbut U also need to understand that if U don't have xorg U must have another otherwise U would have an image06:46
afromanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System06:46
afromanthere are several types of X window system06:47
abhi_navPondera, dunno. but it is nice software!06:47
abhi_navPondera, check their features06:47
afromanRoasted: I did say I wasn't an expert, if U had xorg I could help U more but now...06:51
afromansorry06:51
Roastedafroman, yeah, not sure man. I thought I should have one, but others said its not a big deal if I dont have oen *shrug*06:51
Roastedafroman, I guess it has something to do with me having an intel, since intel seems to have stuff integrated in the kernel since their drivers are typocally open source.06:51
shaunoRoasted: xorg.conf used to be mandatory (it's the config file afterall).  it isn't anymore.  xorg will use it if it's there, or default to autodetect if it's not06:52
user1_which parition table should i create in my usb flash  drive. if i install msdos it will recognize only fat32 filesystem06:52
shaunoso whether you have it or not, neither's 'wrong'06:52
Dr_Willisuser1_:  basically thats the only partition table ive ever used.06:54
Dr_Willisuser1_:  you may be able to use a differnt filesystem if you use fdisk instead of gparted (if thats what yiou are using)06:54
afromanshauno: so now how should Roasted proceed?06:54
Roastedyeah. it gets very old having to "reset" everything after a fresh reboot06:55
Roasteddoesnt happen every time, but enough to make me go wtf?06:55
SailorRealitywhat do you people think of Linux Mint?06:55
RoastedI like linux mint, but its so close to ubuntu, I have no idea why it really exists.06:55
Roastedhowever, theres a channel for mint discussion.06:55
SailorRealitywhatis it06:55
Roastedits a distro based on ubuntu06:56
user1_Dr_Willis: ok. but will i have to have a boot flag for one of partitions on flash drive so that it recognize others. and also a OS there!! this seems quite a research!06:56
abhi_nav!mint > SailorReality06:56
shaunoafroman: (and Roasted,) if autodetect isn't doing what you want, it's probably time to switch to using an xorg.conf06:56
ubottuSailorReality, please see my private message06:56
SailorRealityi just installed it becuase my screen kept on fucking up in ubuntu i hope it doesnt happen06:56

shaunoRoasted: not entirely sure. it's been a while since I've used linux on a desktop.  personally, I'd start by looking to see if there's an example under /usr/share/doc somewhere06:57
afromanshauno: speaking of xorg, U wouldn't happen to know how to enable multi touch gesture on an alps touchpad?06:58
shaunoRoasted: apparently xorg takes a -configure option that'll spit on out based on what it's autodetected so far06:58
shaunoafroman: no idea.  use linux on servers, not laptops, sorry06:59

prince_jammysdelfis: you're not doing something evil, are you?07:09
delfischoice for me07:09
delfisno, my network needs specific mac07:09
prince_jammysah07:10
Dr_Willistheres some of the various if??? commands  that can set teh mac.07:11
Dr_Willisbut ive not had to do that in years07:12
Roastedhowever, once I ALT F8'd (my laptop hot key to switch the monitor) it DID bring back my resolution AND placed my icons properly... thats a +1 I didnt see before.07:12
Dr_WillisOr one can google for 'change mac ubuntu' and get a good hit as #1 --> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/07:12
Roastedhowever, I just rebooted again, and I have no login screen. Why dont I have a login screen? Because it is on the 2nd monitor THAT DOESNT EXIST07:12
Dr_WillisRoasted:  what was the chipset anyway?07:12
Roastedan intel. sec. logging in07:13
RoastedIll lspci it07:13
Roastedpretty sure its a GMA4500 I think??07:13
Dr_WillisAh intel. Hmm. This is a laptop?  or a desktop with 2 video cards?07:13
robertzaccourwhen i use recordMyDesktop to record screencasts with cheese open I notice that the audio seems fine during the recording, but is behind afterwards. is there a way to fix it?07:13
Roastedlaptop07:13
Dr_WillisRoasted:  there is those special fn-XXX keys on laptops that toggle the external/lcd/ monitors. I had one weird laptop that would default o the external. Untill I hit those keys and set it to use the LCD. and only had to do that ONCE. after that  it worked fine :)07:14
RoastedDr_Willis, Ill keep that in mind. Hopefully its all I have to do.07:14
Vin73hi, can someone tell me where can I find instructions on the old version of grub for Ubuntu (grub legacy)07:15
RoastedDr_Willis, my big pet peeve before was  sometimes it wouldnt hit the right resolution. It would default to a lower resolution. So when I finally got the resolution reset, it would change the arrangement and palcement of my icons in the upper right corner.07:15
IdleOne!grub | Vin7307:15
ubottuVin73: 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.07:15
Dr_WillisRoasted:  i thought display was borked.. but i heard the startup sounds.. so it had me confused for a long time.. THEN as a lark. i was going to hook up a external.. and  i plugged it in. but never plugged in the power to the external. :)  hit thise keys trying to get it enabled.. and the lcd started working07:15
Dr_WillisRoasted:  ages ago I had a Video card default to the TV out...07:15
RoastedDr_Willis, I dont have ab ottom panel, I use docky, so I put the items in my bottom panel at the top panel, so I have more going on in my top panel than normal. As a result, I like things organized in a certain order. wifi icon, sound, battery, clock, show desktop, workspaces, etc.07:15
prince_jammysVin73: if you still have it installed, you may also consult the manual for details.07:15
RoastedDr_Willis, so it was just a PITA to reset everything because my laptop didnt find the right resolution. ya know?07:16
RoastedDr_Willis, but since creating the xorg file, when I ALT F8, it finds the placement of icons just fine - which is weird...07:16
Dr_Willisgnome is annoying in how it likes to rearange things07:16
Dr_Willisive gotten where i remove most things from my panels. :) and dont use docks much either07:17
RoastedI dont have a problem with gnome re-arranging it, per se. It only happens when the resolution si borked.07:17
RoastedIt resets them based on the new resolution.07:17
Roastedso I reset it and it screws up.07:17
Dr_Willisthat is gnome rearangeing them. :) then not rearangeing them back07:18
Dr_WillisI was suprised at how well my Netbook handled an external monitor.07:18
RoastedDr_Willis, it rearranges fine w/ xorg being existent, though07:18
RoastedDr_Willis, I hope what you said is the same in my case07:19
Dr_Willisagain. i had to twiddle with the settings and the fn-KKeys the first time.. but after that if i reboot with monitor in. it uses it.. if not - it uses the laptops lcd.07:19
Roastedwhere hitting the key combo 1 time "sets in stone" that setting to my laptop07:19
RoastedDr_Willis, I dont use laptops much - Im a desktop guy. I ALWAYS forget those keys exist - yet I work in IT. How lame?07:19
Dr_WillisRoasted:  i think it very much deopends on the chipset. Ive seen them default to internal, external, and in one case. tv out. :)07:19
RoastedDr_Willis, but in each instance, once you "set" it, did it default to that setting?07:20
Dr_WillisRoasted:  theres been a dozen people in here we have had to 'explain' those keys to - over the years. :)07:20
Dr_WillisRoasted:  it seemed to rember.07:20
Dr_Willisthis is with  4+ different pc's and laptops. :)07:20
Dr_WillisRoasted:  on an nvidia desktop system. it VERY mich depends on the exact chipset/video card.07:20
RoastedDr_Willis, well in my experience, desktops dont tend to change much. For me, I travel w/ a laptop, but I like to dual screen when I'm at my desk at work, which is like twice a week.07:22
Roastedso I bounce through monitors now and then at work, whereas at home I have the same old 2 monitors connected since day 107:22
RoastedDr_Willis, those FN key combos are saved @ BIOS level, right?07:22
ilhuicaminaYesterday, my go-home-applet went wrong, it didn't worked anymore. When i restarted my laptop everytime i tried to open a application it send me back to the home page...and it does the same everytime i restart my computer...sometimes i can't make it stop. Do you know what can i do to repair it?07:24
Roastedoh no07:25
RoastedDr_Willis07:25
ikoniauser1_: did you want me07:25

tasslehoffthe webpage says that 64 bit Ubuntu is "not recommended for daily desktop use". what exactly is it recommended for then? I have a Dell with a 64 bit i7, and think 64 bit sounds good on paper :)07:31
Dr_Willistasslehoff:  then use it.07:32
abhi_nav!6407:32

Tibman<vlt> i have been using ubuntu for 2 days, how do I do that?07:32
RoastedDr_Willis, hmm, well no luck here... Its one thing if I just need to FN F8 now and then to get it to reset, but what gets me is there are times even if I do that, it logs in with 1024x768 resolution instead of 1280x800.07:32
Roastedthats what bohters me07:32
Dr_Willistasslehoff:  theres been bug reportsd files to try tio get that page changed07:32
tasslehoffDr_Willis, good :)07:33
tasslehoffthanks07:33
vlttasslehoff: I use it every day.07:33
Tibmantasslehoff: it means that not all applications are currently available for x64, so although it is about 5 or 10% faster than x86, you  may not find all the applications you will use in everyday use07:33
tasslehoffvlt, and you are happy? :)07:33
vlttasslehoff: There's nothing that doesn't work (that would on x86).07:34
abhi_navI use 64 lucid. I face no problem. not even of any aps. flash wors good too.07:34
Dr_WillisI can think of ONE appliction that ive used thats not ported to 64bit. :)07:34
Tibmanvlt, i thought no current version of flash 10.1 was available for x6407:34
abhi_navwhich one?07:34
tasslehoffThanks guys. I will go with 64 bit then.07:35
Dr_Willisabhi_nav:  zsnes - :) but theres other snes emulators that are07:35
abhi_navDr_Willis, ohh ok07:35
mneptoktasslehoff: be aware, Adobe recently cancelled development of the 64-bit version of the Flash plugin, and pulled all downloads. to use Flash, you need to use the 32 bit version and a plugin wrapper.07:35
Dr_Willisabhi_nav:  aparently it was written years back with large parts of assembly code. :)07:35
abhi_navTibman, its just closed temporaily they will release official 64 flashs sooon07:35
abhi_navDr_Willis, hmm07:35
vltTibman: flash isn't available at all (it's closed source and binary only)07:35
Dr_Willismneptok:  im not sure they actually 'cancled' it - last i check their offical  statement was 'its not cancled.. we just dont want to release any actual plans at this timne'07:36
abhi_navnice application!! ;)07:36
Dr_Willismneptok:  unless thers been changes in the last 2 weeks that ive not see07:36
mneptokabhi_nav: Adobe has not released any details about firther Flash x86-64 development, so saying "soon" has no basis in fact07:36
mneptok*further07:36
abhi_navmnemon, they have used that work on that web site. I read it07:37
abhi_navword*07:37
mneptokabhi_nav: so it should be no trouble for you to provide a URL07:37
TibmanI have only been using ubuntu for 2 days so can anyone explain how to make hard drives automatically mount at start up?07:37
mneptok!fstab | Tibman07:37
ubottuTibman: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions07:37
Dr_Willistim__b:  2what filesystem is the hard drive in question?07:38
Dr_WillisTibman:  2what filesystem is the hard drive in question?07:38
vltTibman: Look at an example line in /etc/fstab. For the <source> field you can choose between a device name (like /dev/sdb1), a UUID (that's a random number assigned when formatting the file system you want to mount) or simly a LABEL (which can be assigned while creating the fs too or later using `tune2fs -L ...`)07:38
Dr_WillisTibman:  technically you mount 'filesystems' not drives. :)07:38
TibmanDR willis: my filesystem is ext3 and the other ntsf07:38
Niglophow do i delete a user?07:38
abhi_navmnemon, cant say. need to check. because i ddnt book mark it becuase its not available. but what I read meaning was or what I understood was = ' thy are not dropping whole 64 bit project they are just closing temporarily becaus ethey are doing major architecture changes in it. after that chagnes they wll release it officialy' let me see if i can find that url07:39
abhi_navNiglop, again from users and group only07:39
Tibmanwhy thank you dr for clearing that up07:39
Niglopkk ty ;p u still remember :p07:39
mneptokabhi_nav: i don't doubt that. but tell me where  you get the concept of "soon"07:39
mneptokabhi_nav: they could release the x86-64 version in 15 years and what you quoted will still be true07:39
Dr_WillisTibman:  for ext3 you want a normal fstab entry for them like the examples in fstab. for ntfs. you can try installing/running the ntfs-config tool and it should add the proper entries automatically, and have some check box's for other options07:40
abhi_navmneptok, in that case it is 'soon' only because all knw that they will not take 15 years. 1year can be a 'soon' for me and it is ok07:40
Dr_WillisTibman:  learning how linux handles filesysmtes/fstab and how ntfs differs.. is worth learning about. :)07:40
abhi_navi dont see any problem in 1ysr 'soon'07:40
mneptokabhi_nav: you do not know that. so please don't say "soon" when the developer has not said "soon"07:41
vltTibman: I prefer using LABEL=... entries because they can be self-descriptive and device names could change when replacing disks or other hardware07:41
abhi_navmnemon, then? what should I say? leave 64 os because there is no 64 bit flash?07:41
Dr_WillisTibman:  yea. Using Labels like vlt says  makes fstab look a lot neater. but you need to set lables on all the filesystems then.07:41
abhi_navmnemon, its common sense. i have that guess from reading their web site. i am trying to find it07:41
mneptokabhi_nav: say exactly what you put in quotes above.07:41
abhi_navok07:41
* Dr_Willis waits for flash to to the way of java.07:42
TibmanDr. Willis, thank you for the pointers. I will read some tutorials.07:42
mneptokDr_Willis: Orcale is not going to buy Adobe ;)07:42
mneptok*Oracle07:42
Tibmangood night everyone07:42
vltTibman: No, you can mix LABEL entries and device entries in fstab (other than Dr_Willis said)07:43
Niglopwhy have i got to be root to remove stuff from my external device?07:43
Nigloplol07:43
vltNiglop: Depends on the permissions07:43
Zevsjoin #aros07:43
Dr_Willismneptok:  give it a year.. and we will see.. soon we will all be using 'realplayer' again i bet! :)07:43
abhi_navNiglop, you can change permission and give authority to your standard account to act as admina account07:43
Niglopi made a new user and copied the exact same home directory over and one is 5g and the other is 12g :s?07:43
vltNiglop: How did you copy it?07:44
abhi_navmneptok, from my perception of view 1year is come under 'soon' and i tell him in that way. and I wll. I dont see any problem in 1yr07:44
Niglopthrough the folders07:44
mneptokDr_Willis: Real Networks was the only job interview i actually walked out of.07:44
mneptokabhi_nav: one last time. Adobe *never* gave a time frame. ever. your "one year" assertion is all in your head.07:45
vltNiglop: There are many folders that might be invisible in file browsers. I'd prefer rsync for this taks07:45
Niglopabhi_nav:  it says i have all privilages, but its not in the group "root" is that why?07:45
vlt*task07:45
abhi_navmnemon, yes in my head07:45
Niglopvlt what files example please07:45
Niglopi might not need them07:45
mneptokabhi_nav: go look at the Wikipedia entry for Duke Nukem Forever07:45
abhi_navNiglop, you goto users and groups edit your account there is third tab something called 'adcaned' or like there is second option 'administor the system' select that07:46
vltNiglop: In *nix systems file names starting with "." are hidden (if you not explicitely tell your "ls" command to show them)07:46
Niglopthird tab is user privilages07:46
Niglopvlt i know but what files ?07:47
vltNiglop: I don't understand your question.07:47
abhi_navmnemon, so you want me to recommend newcomers that' hey atleast 15 years for 64 bit flash. leave your 64bit os right now. go for 32 bit'07:47
abhi_nav???????07:47
Niglopvlt what type of files are the "invisible" ones?07:48
Niglopabhi_nav:  the third tab is user privilages07:48
vltNiglop: Those beginning with a dot07:48
Niglopi know they are hidden..07:48
Niglopbut are they important?07:48
abhi_navNiglop, yes there only select second option 'administrator the system'07:48
Niglopabhi_nav:  its already checked07:48
abhi_navNiglop, :(07:48
vltNiglop: Depends on your setup. Programs usually store their whole config in such directories07:49
abhi_navmneptok, , so you want me to recommend newcomers that' hey atleast 15 years for 64 bit flash. leave your 64bit os right now. go for 32 bit'07:49
abhi_nav;)07:49

abhi_navmnemon, :(07:50

Niglopi dont know what kooka is lol07:50
Niglopi dont scan07:50
Niglopabhi_nav:  how can i fix it :p?07:50
abhi_navNiglop, what? i was not here? what was the issue?07:51
Niglopadmin thing is already checked07:51
abhi_navNiglop, i am confused that, you are talking about your default admin account itself or you want to add power to your standard account? I dont understand that because if problem in admin account itself then i dont know.07:52
Vin73what does LVDS stand for?07:53
Niglopi made a new account abhi_nav  and it has all privilages but i still have to sign in as root to edit files on my external device :s?07:53
abhi_navNiglop, add it to admin group. actualy I am in now my standars account so cant give you exact details.07:55

ikoniahe shouldn't need to08:28
ikoniagdm will not stop it booting08:28

noobuseri see grub, press enter on the first entry, get a black screen for a few seconds, then see the computer acer startup thing, then grub again08:31
ikonianoobuser: ok - so that's nothing to do with gdm08:31
noobuseri know, thats my other problem08:32
noobuserso i try recovery mode08:32
ikonianoobuser: installing gdm won't make it boot08:32
noobuserand restart x which normally works, but because gdm isnt installed restart x option doesnt work08:32
noobuserikonia, installing gdm will let me boot into graphical recovery mode08:33
prashuser1_, One last format from XP and then I guess it is time for an RMA/return.08:33
ikonianoobuser: I disagree08:33
noobuserthere are two problems, i cant boot, i dont have gdm thus i cant boot recovery08:33
ikonianoobuser: if you cant boot the OS (which you can't) you won't be able to boot recovery mode, and if you can boot recovery mode, you don't need gdm08:33
user1_prash : ok i will try it08:33
solifexnoobuser: Sounds to me like the kernel doesn't start up, even if X fails to start you should end up at the command line.08:33
prashuser1_, FWIW, do exactly like:  http://www.kingston.com/support/howtodt/default.asp?type=x308:33
Dr_Willisuser1_:  as a last ditch efford. you could 'zero' the thing with the proper dd command.  and then try to repartition it.08:34

chirpisHi guys.  I have an Asus wl-130g wireless card in an old desktop on which I just installed kubuntu.  It seems to recognize the card, but it shows no available networks.  Do I need a different driver?08:36
=== dondi is now known as jasdevan
chirpisI'm running kubuntu 10.04, amd64.08:37
solifexnoobuser: You could try the command "startx", if that does not work you need to edit the .xinitrc file and add "exec gnome-session"08:37
user1_Dr_Willis: is it not equivalent of deleting and formatting partitions of drive which i have done so many times08:37
noobuserstartx didnt work08:37
Dr_Willisuser1_:  this is lower level then formating/deleting08:38
prashuser1_, It is more than that.  It wipes out MBR and anything in DOS-compat region08:38
Dr_Willisuser1_:  the only thing 'below' the dd zero test. is a low level format..08:38
Dr_Willisand ive NEVER had to do a lowlevel format. :)08:38
user1_Dr_Willis: ok. and then create a MBR / msdos parition table is it?08:39
solifexnoobuser: edit the file .xinitrc in your home directory and add the line "exec gnome-session" and then try startx08:39
prashuser1_, yes08:39
Dr_Willisuser1_:  dd. then you will have to repartition. I suggest trying 'fdisk' to partition the drive.  then reboot.. THEN reformat.08:39
Jordan_Unoobuser: Do *not* do what solifex suggested.08:39
Jordan_Usolifex: That will log him into gnome as root.08:40
prince_jammyshuh?08:40
user1_Dr_Willis: ok. format to what - fat32 or ext3?08:40
solifexJordan_U: Not unless he's running as root that is?08:40
chirpisAnybody? Do I need to give more info ro something?08:41
user1_Dr_Willis: never did ext3 got recognized08:41
Jordan_Usolifex: Which, since he's in recovery mode, he is.08:41
Jordan_Unoobuser: "apt-get install gdm" from that shell, then "service gdm start". But I agree with ikonia that you have bigger problems than GDM.08:41
Dr_Willisuser1_:  try vfat i guess.08:41

psycho_oreosMattoD, I'd read the release notes of 10.04 prior to upgrading.. and I'd advise against upgrading as it is hardly ever done cleanly09:49
MattoDah right, i did try to upgrade via the desktop to 9.10 and that failed09:49
chirpispsycho_oreos, no scan results.  dmesg says, ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready.09:49

chirpispsycho_oreos, I thought unchecking the box is how you disabled it?09:54
Dr_Willisvalium:  that text option is new in 10.04 and works with grub209:54

Dr_WillisA[D]minS:  you mean what 'unallocated' space remains?09:58
chirpispsycho_oreos, still no results09:59
abhi_navA[D]minS, yes u wll. use gparted09:59
psycho_oreoschirpis, do you have some other wireless manager software running? such as wicd, etc?09:59

A[D]minSabhi_nav: is there any tool through CLI09:59
abhi_navA[D]minS, duuunnnooo09:59
psycho_oreosA[D]minS, probably parted09:59
psycho_oreosgparted is the frontend of parted09:59
chirpispsycho_oreos, nop, I don't think so.10:00
psycho_oreoschirpis, not convincing when you say you don't think so, hmm10:00
A[D]minSwoooow psycho_oreos well done :) parted10:00
A[D]minSthx alot10:00
chirpispsycho_oreos, how do I check?10:01
psycho_oreosA[D]minS, no worries, though abhi_nav solved the other part10:01
valiumDr_Willis - ok I have edited it - will Ctrl-X write to file10:01
abhi_nav:)10:01
psycho_oreoschirpis, that is the part that I'm looking at right now, in the meantime, I'd try and trace back what you installed.. did it used to work before?10:02
Dr_Willisvalium:  its not writingot a file. its a 1 time thing10:02
chirpispsycho_oreos, it has never worked.  This is pretty much a fresh install.10:02
Dr_Willisvalium:  do the changes.. ctrl-x to exit/boot10:02
psycho_oreoschirpis, weird, because in one sense it does not seem to be a driver issue (which can be apparent if you're running 64bit), on the other hand I do recall you said you installed 64bit version10:03
chirpispsycho_oreos, well, it worked in an older version of ubuntu, maybe 8.10:03
chirpispsycho_oreos, yeah, it's 64 bit.10:04
tomatto_please, is some graphical application to mounting iso files?10:04
Dr_Willistomatto_:  thers one in the repos i saw that adds a mount iso.. to the context menu. but its trivial to do it by hand10:04
psycho_oreoschirpis, ok, run iwevent and let it sit there for about 5 minutes10:04
psycho_oreoschirpis, actually once you done that, and am waiting for 5 minutes, tell me10:05
Dr_Willis!iso10:05
ubottuTo mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.10:05

chirpispsycho_oreos, ok, it's running.10:06
psycho_oreoschirpis, open up another terminal and type in sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor10:06
valiumDr_Willis it gets to a point where it says running scripts /init/bottom then the graphics card drops in and the screen clears then a small cursor onthe top left appears.  Blinking.  but the system halts.  If i hit ALT+CTRL+DEL is begins shutdown10:07
tomatto_Dr_Willis: do you remember name of application?10:07
andy_ubuntu 10.04 won't reboot (when I use the reboot menu item from the panel and when I hit ctl-alt-del). When I click on either of these, nothing happens, anyone had this before?10:07

psycho_oreoschirpis, my guess is that it could be an issue with the driver, you might also want to try your support in #linux-wireless.. but before you do that, try the backports.. I presume you're running lucid right?10:16

blackthorhello.  i am trying to figure out if ubuntu works fine on a HP ML150 G6 (which is "pretty" now but not 'bleeding edge')  however, on the canonical site, the HP compatibility list looks outdated  (no mentioning of 10.04), is there anybody that did a successful 10.04 install on that machine (incl raid ctrller)11:00
wookienzerUSUL: is i possible that linux is seeing both disks and not the one the disk that the bios should be presenting?11:01
xorI guess I'll see when it comes out.11:01
blackthorwhow, wookienz, recursive partitioning that sounds more like statistics in math than an fdisk problem11:01
abhi_navwhere he goes now?11:01
wookienzblackthor: god knows how it happened!11:02
erUSULwookienz: it is seing both. the disk the bios pressents /dev/mapper/pdc_whatever and the individual disks. there is nothing wrong with that. the problem is that one of the disks of the array has a bad/odd partition table so linux warns that the array is not ready and wont mount it11:02
wookienzerUSUL: ok that makes sense - it is a raid 0 array so obviosuly it needs it, and I NEED IT!! Can i manually fix it? By the way , should have mentioend it earlier, it was a NTFS fs.11:03
abhi_navabhijain, what happend where were you been gone?11:04
abhijainabhi_nav: n/w probem11:04
abhi_navabhijain, I see. so can we continew now?11:04
abhijainabhi_nav: yeah11:04

abhi_navabhijain, ok so you are using 10.04?11:05
abhijainabhi_nav: yeah lucid 10.4 wubi11:05
abhi_navwubi? what is wubi to do with grub restoration?11:06
wookienzblackthor: SW raid -11:06
NeverCastabhi_nav, That is something I have always wondered, Does wubi just use the Windows boot loader? or install the GRUB loader?11:06
NeverCastI understand 'install' wouldn't be a correct term in this case, but you get what I mean.11:07
abhi_navNeverCast, how wubi can use grub? its INSIDE windwos naa? I mean its like an normal aps to win? how can it edit mbr?11:07
BPowerHey everyone. I'm on Ubuntu Lucid and apache2 won't start and is giving no errors (in logs or otherwise)11:07
NeverCastabhi_nav, Well the kernel images are in the windows partition sure.11:07
NeverCastabhi_nav, But it isn't like a Virtual Machine, the kernel is actually loaded11:08
NeverCastabhi_nav, I would believe Wubi would use GRUB bootloader11:08
Dr_Williswindows chanloads grub somehow to boot wubi. (i hate wubi. so dont use it) :) so imay be wrong11:08
NeverCastDr_Willis, When you install 'wubi' it creates some virtual hard drive images which are mounted by the kernel, which sit on your windows partition, then it loads GRUB into your MBR, and sets it up for either Ubuntu kernel, or NTLDR on boot.11:09
NeverCast.. I could be long, but I believe that's how it works.11:10
erUSULwookienz:i'm looking google for ways of restoring a gpt partition table ...11:10

abhijainabhi_nav: yeah 10.411:15
TaluThat didnt work11:15
NeverCastrww, log start times hopefully11:15
abhi_navabhijain, then wubi is nothing to do with grub resoration. what exactly you want to do?11:15

abhijainabhi_nav: i want to recover grub of linux . i installed windows vista after ubuntu and windows hide the grub of ubuntu11:16
NeverCastabhijain, It didn't exactly hide it11:16
NeverCastabhijain, More of Destroyed it11:16
abhi_navabhijain, do you mean you install windows fully and you also installed ubuntu fully? in real hdd? in real partition?11:17
abhi_nav:(11:17
NeverCastabhi_nav, I'm not sure if he used wubi11:17
NeverCastabhi_nav, regardless, Wubi still uses the GRUB loader11:17
TaluYou need an ubuntu CD and then boot it from it. When your on the virtual ubuntu you can fix the grub problem by reinstalling it.11:17
abhi_navNeverCast, yah that is what I try to clear11:18
abhi_navNeverCast, yes but id dont messes with mbr?11:18
abhi_navahh??11:18

BPowerI know what to do... i think11:19
NeverCastabhi_nav, What do you mean doesn't mess with the MBR, GRUB is written to the MBR.11:19
wookienzerUSUL: ok thanks - ill have a look11:19
abhi_navNeverCast, I am totally confused. I never used wubi. but tell me that if one installed ubuntu inside windows i.e. wubi right? so it install under windows like any other ap? then how it can manipulate real mbr?11:20
TaluI need some help. I want to move a game from File system to my external HD. But it wont allow me to paste it there.11:20
abhi_navTalu, sudo mv <source> <destinatin>11:21
TaluHmm i try that then11:21
NeverCastabhi_nav, It doesn't install inside windows, It just convinces the average windows user that it has, so they can remove an entire oper' from Add/Remove.11:21
abhi_navTalu, you do this thing from that account in which account that game was owned.11:21

student88612:01
studentbay~bay~12:01
blackthorwas once put in the situation that a  debian-based linux version (when ubuntu didn't exist ) did not support raid driver , and i ended up having to buy a separate raid card12:01
stevecami don't know much about raid, but i know SATA seems to work fine12:01
yoda___hi12:02
stevecamhow long ago was that?12:02
yoda___I need help guys12:02
blackthori think 2005-200612:02
blackthori ended up installing redhat :(12:02
erUSULblackthor: #ubuntu-server may be of more help.12:02
yoda___I can't connect anymore with ubuntu12:02
blackthorerUSUL: oh, thanks12:02
yoda___the connection icon disappear12:02
stevecamsearch your raid chipset and linux12:02
SamaraJordan_U, did you see the paste?12:02
yoda___can any1 help me?12:02
blackthorstevecam: yes there were some issues with the HP raid chipset but it's fairly undocumented... that's why i'm asking here ;)12:03
erUSULblackthor: i expect linux to support the controller just fine this kind of server class hard is well supported.12:03
blackthorerUSUL: yes i'd expect that too until12:03
Jordan_USamara: I do now that you have mentioned it (didn't before because you didn't use my nick in the message).12:03
blackthori came onto the "HP partner" page of canonical12:03
blackthorwhere i only see an outdated list of  supported devices12:03
blackthorand the HP ML150 G6 not being in it12:04
Jordan_USamara: You've accidentily installed grub to your windows partition.12:04
Jordan_USamara: The first thing that you need to do is to configure the grub-pc package so that it doesn't install to any partitions, then recover your windows partition boot record with testdisk.12:05
Samaraso, can i fix this without re-install all windows xp?12:05
apapahi guys , how do i find out if my wifi device has its drivers installed right? Im on ubuntu 10.0412:05
Jordan_USamara: Yes.12:05
SamaraJordan_U, testdisk is a linux program?12:07
icerootapapa: using the wifi-device12:07
apapaiceroot: ?12:08
yoda___I need help12:08
SamaraJordan_U, is there any material that i can read to do this?12:08
erUSULblackthor: which one is the controller Smart Array B110i SATA RAID or Smart Array P410 ?? the later seems to be well supported by linux cciss driver the former well not much info round the net ... seems to need a propietary controller12:08
Jordan_USamara: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to reconfigure the grub-pc package. It will ask you a few questions, the only one you need to change is the "install devices" one, where you need to uncheck all partitions. The rest you can leave at their default (some will be blank, that's normal)12:09

MattoDHi all, i'm trying to install server 10.04 and its set to UK but failling to download packages on install. Should i set it to the USA when it asks for where i live12:39
private_metakiasanth: Well, I meant "Screens" literally, monitors12:39
kiasanthDoes anyone know how to access my ftp server from another computer over the Internet?12:39
private_metakiasanth: or did you mean that as well?12:39
kiasanthprivate_meta: yeah, 4 monitors ;) not virtual desktops12:40
private_metakiasanth: You can use a dynamic DNS service, Dyndns, forward your ports through your router and then access it12:40
kiasanthprivate_meta: done that, it's timing out though12:40
private_metaDo you have a stable SSH connection?12:40
CaNochello, i'm trying to install ATI driver from ATI, but when install fglrx*.deb, it show something like this : module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed12:40
private_metakiasanth: Maybe the ingong connection itself is problematic... if SSH works, why not use SCP?12:41
kiasanthI forwarded my ports in  the router, allowed them in ufw, and got dynDNS resolving perfectly, still no access though12:41
freetimehi , i have the next problem i type ps -u nagios | wc -l , and i get 297 processes , after thet i try to kill it with kill -9 `ps -u nagios  -o pid=`, and the processes refused to be killed how to slove this12:41
CaNoci've install some package for compile : build-essential, ... but it not work12:42
private_metakiasanth: Passive?12:42
kiasanthCaNoc: you have to install the kernel sources12:42
kiasanthprivate_meta: let me check12:42
CaNockiasanth: only linux-source, package kernel-source not found , that's strange12:43
lee__awww,, i got it.. pretty strange.. KDE got set as default some how..12:43
private_metakiasanth: again, why not use SCP? Is it for someone else you don't want to give shell access to?12:43
kiasanthprivate_meta: yeah, I don't want them to have full access12:43
private_metaok...12:43
private_metaThen again, ssh doesn't mean full access, but it would be a bitch to configure12:44
apapahi guys my wifi card is not being recognized and I cannot attach to nearby AP's : http://pastebin.com/y8qzMXzS Can someone please help me?12:44
^mNotIntelligentbye all12:45
private_metakiasanth: Well, check if it's set for passive connection or maybe you forgot the port range forwarding for the ports used by the server12:45
kiasanthprivate_meta: yeah, passive fails too, got 20 and 21 allowed on tcp12:45
private_metaWhew... it's been quite a long time since I had an FTP server running XD12:45
private_metakiasanth: sure you've got the correct IP ranges for these ports you've allowed through?12:47
kiasanthI'm allowing all ip's12:47
private_metaIt's been so long I actually set up an FTP server that I'm slightly out of ideas already, sorry >_<12:48
sKeithsas a quick thought. i know i can't connect to my ftpservers using my outside ip address, but everybody else on the net can connect.12:48
kiasanthI'm using pure-ftp and it is listening for ftp connections on tcp and tcp612:48

Dr_WillisPrebenR:  it will depend on the keyboard to some degree. Most all the ones i have these days work with no tweaking whatsoever13:01
Niglophow do i restart x display13:02
maxwellianGryllida: Sorry, what does "unix style copy paste" mean?13:02
steffan!x | Niglop13:03
Gryllidamaxwellian: select block of text to 'copy', middle click to paste.13:03

maxwellianGryllida: Hmmm...sorry, I don't know anything about it.  Based on what you're saying I'd guess that gedit is eating the middle click before it gets processed for the paste.13:07
GNU\colossushi there. does anyone of you know where I can fund the x-fixes PPA maintainer(s) on freenode?13:08

erUSULapapa: yes; so do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter »13:35
terraplanecan you choose a driver in that dialog?13:36
erUSULapapa: it needs to download the firmware for the card becouse the **##@@*&*** at broadcom would not allow redistribution by linux vendors of said firmware files13:36

kohlraksgronblo: and everything else too13:38
apapaerUSUL: alright done13:38
maxwellianfrag4now: According to that page, the bug has been fixed in version 0.7.6, which means you will probably not see the update in package form for a while.13:38
apapaerUSUL: do i restart or what now/13:39
erUSULapapa: to avoid rebootin the machine do « sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 »13:39
sgronblokohlrak: Well apt-get seems to be the only thing affected by poorly working ipv6 for me.13:39

maxwellianfrag4now: Right, but in our Ubuntu repositories, the latest version is what you have.13:39
frag4nowoh you mean that fix is not added yet13:39
erUSULmichalxo: with rfkill maybe13:39

NullSet_hey, is there a way to switch from ubuntu to windows and back to ubuntu faster from a dual boot?13:41
michalxoNullSet_ ?13:42
beegelNullSet_, virtualization13:42
maxwellianfrag4now: Hmmm...I went to their Sourceforge page and their latest release is only 0.6.1813:42
NullSet_virtualization? could you explain?13:42
amokpauleNullSet maybe have a look at virtualisation, here a good prog is virtualbox13:42
sgronbloI'm still on ubuntu 9.10 and usually when I try to install something through apt-get when on wlan, apt-get seems to try to connect to an ipv6 address first (which takes a long time) and then gives up and goes with the ipv4 address.13:43
frag4nowmaxwellian: what's their sourceforge page?13:43
apapaerUSUL: heres what you want : http://pastebin.com/9qudFnFC Here's what Ive done before :http://pastebin.com/y8qzMXzS13:43
beegelNullSet_, as amokpaule said google virtualbox or vmware13:43
maxwellianfrag4now: So unless I'm in the wrong place (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdauthor/files/), you'll have to get it from the svn repo, as you said.13:43
sgronbloNow it takes a really long time for me to try to upgrade to 10.04 with update-manager and I suspect it might be related to the ipv6 problem.13:43
michalxoerUSUL it did not work...13:43
kiasanthok, got my ftp working but my users have too much access, they can CD out of their home dir, is there some specific UID I need to give them to prevent this?13:43

michalxoerUSUL U am going to read some manual.. :-)13:44
terraplaneMy console can't recognize a command (rails) after reboot. I try fix it (export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin;  locate rails |grep -e "bin/rails$"; )  but after reboot it is gone again. What can I do?13:44
erUSULapapa: maybe the wifi is disabled via a key ?13:44
maxwellianfrag4now: That link won't help you.13:44
michalxoerUSUL yes it is, that's why I want to turn it on.. key does not work at all.. only in windwos13:45

apapaerUSUL: umm when I hit it , it turns blue and the bluetooth turns on but I dont think the wifi turns on; again how do I check?13:45
maxwellianfrag4now: Unless I'm reading it wrong, they're saying that the fix was in a version that is more recent than the one they have available to download.13:45

Dr_Willisdigitalfiz:  that build-dep makes it very easy to pull in stuff to compile new versions of stuff. :)14:16

ashiswinPLEASE!14:18
slow-motionbye14:18
erUSULashiswin: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop14:18
ashiswini cant14:18
Dr_Willisashiswin:  go to console. and do what erUSUL  said.14:18
ashiswinterminal is gone14:18
erUSULashiswin: or sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop14:18
Dr_Willisashiswin:  the CONSOLE. alt-ctrl-f114:18
duliterry: yes, I think so14:18
apapaerUSUL: so what exactly is the recommended steps that I should take if i start again with a fresh install?14:19
struhevolok this is my problem when i type aptitude install unetbootin14:19
apapa*are14:19
struhevolit works14:19
WellDoneBye14:19
maxwellianDr_Willis: I think you were one of the people explaining the whole metapackage thing to me the other day...is it really the Right Thing to remove all of this stuff when a new user wants to get rid of cups?14:19
sweetleafhi, do i need the same version of live cd with my install in order to reload the grub2?14:19
terryduli: http://download.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/319981.pdf14:19
struhevolfine but then when i try aptitude install nessus it dont work14:19
erUSULapapa: do nothing but install b43-fwcutter package while connected to internet. reboot14:19
struhevolis something wrong with aptitude14:19
abhi_nav_ashiswin, its just my guess that why cant you revers it? sudo apt-get install libcups214:19
Dr_Willismaxwellian:  then keep cups.. its not that big a thing14:19
struhevolany ideas what i might be doing wrong14:20
rwwstruhevol: nessus hasn't been in Ubuntu since jaunty. The weird message you're getting is because some other package hasn't been updated to reflect that.14:20
maxwellianDr_Willis: I just don't understand the reasoning behind removing all of that software that seemingly has nothing to do with cups.14:20
struhevolo ok14:20
=== abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav
maxwellianDr_Willis: I don't think that a user should be afraid to remove something they don't use for fear of completely breaking their system?14:21
struhevolok so how do i find out what package is not updated14:21
terryduli: If the NIC will do AP mode then set it to AP mode and then set up your system for IPmasquerade and share the NET, but if the Wireless NIC you have does not support AP mode, it is not doable.14:21
Dr_Willismaxwellian:  its all about the dependencies and how things interlink. I rarely bother with removing stuff. so i havent looked into it much14:21
digitalfizDr_Willis, symlinking 4.8 to 4.2 worked :P14:21
struhevolrww can you help me out14:21
Dr_Willisdigitalfiz:  thats a dirty trick. :)14:21
duliterry: hum, ok14:21
digitalfizDr_Willis, hehe but if it compiles im happy :P14:21
erUSULmaxwellian: the gnome printing support depends on cups libs if you remove it that libs will be removed too and the gtk/gnome apps that relied on them will be removed as well14:21
maxwellianDr_Willis: I'm the same as you...I'm sure the powers that be have a great explanation. :)14:21
Dr_Willisdigitalfiz:  ive had that not work befor.  but if it works14:21
rwwstruhevol: I'm not sure why you'd need to?14:21
chazcoCan anyone confirm the release date for 10.04.1?14:22
digitalfizyay it compiled that part now its failing at gmock, i hate hardcoded versioning14:22
michelhi, how do you recover from a "could this be a zero-length partition" error when fscking my main partition (with lots stuff on it :S )14:22
struhevoli just want to know how do i know which package needs to be updated14:22
struhevolthats all i am trying to figure out rww14:22
terryduli: If it does in fact have AP mode, switch AP mode on.  That is first step. And then to set your system up as gateway; Probably the easiest way is firestarter14:22
terryfirestarter | duli14:22
rwwchazco: July 29th, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule14:23

ubottuduli: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.14:23

abhijainabhi_nav: sorry that time internet sucks14:24
n2ikothanks all14:24
Dr_Willisfbxxkl:  you 'convert' an avi to the proper format. :) then burn the data files to dvd. is more technically right.14:24

abhi_navabhijain, ohh yah. you read my memo?14:24
abhijainabhi_nav: so now we can proceed14:24

erUSULtomatto_: intel driver shopuld support 3d on the card14:27
abhi_navabhijain, from live cd mount your hdd ubuntu partition from Places. then do mount | tail -1  and crosscheck your output with one given on that guide.14:27
fbxxklI see it in the ubuntu software center thats an acceptable place to install from right>14:27
anipyend-user question regarding ubuntu/gnome:  any trick how i can directly resize a window that is currently maximized, with-out un-maximizing it first?14:28
erUSULfbxxkl: indeed14:28

fbxxklcool.  I am pretty new to ubuntu/linux so I am trying to learn :D14:28
maxwellianfbxxkl: That's a great place.14:28
abhi_navabhijain, no you first mount it graphically. by going 'Places' menu14:28

abhijainabhi_nav: ok i check that14:29
fbxxklits because of a great community :D14:29

p1l0tIn ubuntu server 10.04... how do you change network settings permanently?14:50
abhi_nav!server | p1l0t14:50
ubottup1l0t: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server14:50
s3r3n1t7p1l0t, in /etc/network/interfaces if i remember .... be careful not to lock yourself out tho14:51
hareldvdmaxwell_, in order not to loose the error details.14:51
p1l0tabhi_nav: thanks I have been using it for a few years now. You used to just change /etc/network/interfaces but 10.04 this does nothing aparently14:51
abhi_navp1l0t, ok14:51
p1l0ts3r3n1t7: what do you mean lock yourself out?14:52
tomatto_erUSUL: how do you mean that?14:52
s3r3n1t7p1l0t, if you change your network settings to something that's different from your actual network, you will no longer be able to connect to your server. The only way to fix it would be to have physical access to the server.14:52
maxwellianhareldvd: Please post the error message to paste.ubuntu.com14:52

s3r3n1t7p1l0t, you'll have to reload networking after ... did you also do that?14:53
BluesKajp1l0t, I just removed NM and let etc/network/interfaces do the work, sometimes sudo dhclient will restart you connection if  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't stick.14:53

hareldvdmaxwellian, I think I know the reason. I switched to lilo after I got fed up with the ambiguous directions with grub on which I felt I wasn't able to take full control.

ubottumatteo1990: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.15:33

DoctorPeppercan anyone  help me  please ,  i planning on moving from sabayon to ubuntu , but  i dont know who to handle  the transition to ubuntu because of the fact that my home partition is encrypted15:43
squircleblind: unless you're willing to do a lot (and i mean lots) of tweaking and stuff, no, you can't use them both to get a better signal.15:43

michalxoGuest42030 turn off your caps lock15:46
bazhangGuest42030, please disable the caps15:46
Guest42030ok15:46
NightKhaosDoctorPepper: if by annoying you mean "it takes ages to install anything" and "it sometimes breaks", yeah, that's true. However, the easist way to reinstall Ubuntu when your home partition is encrypted like that, because they do not have compatiable package systems, etc, etc, will be to back up all your data and start from stratch. Do you have enough storage to achieve this?15:47
squirclezors: I'd just use ext4; the CPU usage isn't that high (not much higher than jfs in my experience)15:47

NightKhaosDoctorPepper: right then, unfortunately your options are: stick with Sab, overwrite Sab with Ubuntu which will have a VERY, VERY high chance of breaking your system and having unrecoverable loss of your data, or go out and buy a 1 TB hard drive at your earlist convience, and back everything up.15:50
icerootamabo: sure, install them with sudo dpkg -i packagename15:50
IdleOneamabo: packages.ubuntu.com. download to USB then use dpkg -i *.deb to install the package on the offline machine15:50
matteo1990etrisnanto, they are ok and they worked fine 2 days ago... It's strange there must be some settings that turned off15:50

abhijainabhi_nav: hey really thanx alot15:52
NightKhaosDoctorPepper: as it stands, I strongly suggest you do the last choice regardless of your actions. Having vital data not backed up anywhere is a very dangerous thing to do. The only data I don't have backed up I can easily recover again (i.e. my iTunes library, and other media files)... everything else, uni work, etc, is backed up.15:52

ubottuLAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

DaveG|every time i try to push changes for a new repo, it tells me "Repository read access denied"16:48
Natanaieltucemiux: what did u do exactly?16:48
funkyHatllutz: actually what he needed to know was the name of the package in ubuntu, so there's a chance they'll just send him back here...16:48

tucemiuxNatanaiel, I used a text only utility, first I took the the hard drive off line -- i didnt write to the hard drive that had the partition that I wanted to recover16:49
tonsofpcshi, what is the recommended method for upgrading from hardly (8.04 LTS) to lucid (10.04 LTS) ?16:49
Natanaieltucemiux: what's the name of that utility?!16:50
tonsofpcs(note: I currently have no X installed)16:50
indroraHi y'all, I'm trying to do something odd. I want a machine with just E17, xchat, a few utils and Abrowse... So I thought I'd start with the Server install, install E17, X, xterm and ABrowse.16:51
tucemiuxNatanaiel, next I fired up the text only utility and searched for partitions that were deleted, I believe the utility was ddrescue, there's a few others and I believe I tried them all, I cant remember which one did it, I do remember is that it works16:51
indroratonsofpcs: update to 9.10 THEN to 10.0416:51
indroraMy problem is my box keeps resetting the gfx card now when it comes up.16:51
tuvwhat's wrong with ubuntu.osuosl.org mirror?16:51

indroraI'm getting at it fine.16:52
funkyHattuv: looks fine here16:52
tonsofpcsindrora: so 8.04 (hardy) > 9.10 (intrepid?) > 10.04 (lucid) ?16:52
tuvi get: server not found here16:52
tucemiuxNatanaiel, I reformatted my hard drive with data on it :-(16:53
tuvi can get to www.osuosl.org, but not ubuntu.osuosl.org16:53
indroratonsofpcs: yeah. Its like Debian. An option is to make a backup of your /home/ directory if you dont have it on a seperate partition and simply re-install, but that could lead to issues.16:53
indroratuv: Who's your DNS?16:53
indroratuv: DNS or ISP -- sounds like they need to be complained to16:53
indrora'cause I can get at it fine.16:54
tuvi've been using this mirror for a while. it was working!16:54

indroratuv: can you get to http://slackware.osuosl.org/ ?16:55
Oertucemiux, i can get @ ubuntu.osuosl.org, no problem16:55
tonsofpcsindrora: so how do i do that? update apt.sources to have intrepid, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, repeat for lucid?16:55
andyltmDoes the /proc/cpuinfo generally report repeated processors when dealing with a Dual Processor, single cored Xeon system - or will it list the processor just once?16:55
indroratonsofpcs: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades <--16:55

indroratonsofpcs: that has a "8.04 to 10.04"16:56

tucemiuxtonsofpcs, what vversion you currently have?  If you have an older version you might as well just install lucid from an ISO, upgrading to lucy will take a very **long** time and you might have to deal with bugs16:57
acovrighow do I forward mail (when I ssh, it says 'You have new mail') to a gmail account?16:57

RoastedVideo Problem - I have a laptop with an Intel video card. Sometimes when I boot up, my resolution is off. Other times I boot up, it thinks a second monitor exists because my mouse disappears off to the right side.

How can I set it so Ubuntu just... works?17:05

abhi_navdate18:20
LjLwhite_mouse: oh. well i guess we don't support PCLOS here, but the ubuntu repos are at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ - just navigate from there. however, keep in mind that it's usually dangerous to enable a distro's repos in another distro.18:21

osmarioHi all! what's best program to download mp3 at Ubuntu?18:29
acovrigslidinghorn: do I need SMTP?18:29
aj00200osmario: download from where?18:30
Oer!best|osmario18:30
ubottuosmario: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.18:30
slidinghornacovrig, yes...you need smtp *and* IMAP...smtp is "send mail transfer protocol" which allows you to use the server to -- well, send mail.  IMAP allows you to download the email from other locations...18:31
Muzeractually, it's simple mail transfer protocol I believe18:31
Muzerjust nitpicking :P18:31
grekkosMy computer boots into the grub interactive shell rather than a grub menu, how can I place the menu back (the instructions on the ubuntu site did not help)18:31
acovrigslidinghorn: when I installed imap, it remove smtp18:31
osmariodownload from net. I am using Nicotine but sometimes it's poor and slow18:31
=== Im is now known as Guest91592
Muzeryou don't need smtp, I think, if you have IMAP - do not quote me on this, however18:32
thune3Muzer: sorry that didn't work. i thought module parameters were worth a shot, good luck with backports or latest-source from alsa.18:32
slidinghornacovrig, what delivery agent did you use?18:32
escastilhoAlguém do Brasil?18:32
acovrigslidinghorn: delivery agent?18:32
Muzerthune3: So, back to my original question - how would I compile a module that is technically not part of ALSA, but is dependant on ALSA, so that it will work with the backports?18:32
slidinghornacovrig, it's explained in the mailserver howto you were following18:33
grekkosHow can I figure out where grub installed itself?18:33
acovrigslidinghorn: `apt-get install postfix`18:33
jan_What other gwibber alternatives can you recommend because I can't seem to add my FB account.18:33
thune3Muzer: do you have a link for the source you need to compile?18:34
slidinghornacovrig, for future reference, it's recommended that you read all the way through a tutorial before performing any of the tasks within it...18:34
Muzerthune3: Not at the moment - it's usually just included with the kernel, in Ubuntu at least, I believe18:34
slidinghornacovrig, you should read further down in that howto...it tells you about dovecot, etc...18:34
Muzeris there some package/PPA that contains the latest "Ubuntu-ised" version of the whole kernel (modules and the kernel itself)? That would solve all my problems18:35
Mo__so whats the alternative for active directory in linux? i am just looking for a single sign on service for my linux users. I would like to bind it to active directory but that does not seem that simple :\18:35
hdtdiguys when i have a server http://host.com:5080.. then i add a ssl now my host is https://host.com right? because now when i write https://host.com i get this page to accept the certificate and then when i write https://host.com/folder i get not found18:35

darkscrypthow do i get to the grub menu in ubuntu20:07
sobersabreso, is the drive mounted or not ?20:07
darkscryptit skips it.20:07
Mr_Sonomaclayg, you have to click on the drive you want to work on in the column in the left20:07
claygMr_Sonoma, I see format, unmount, safe removal benchmark  - my only choices from what it looks like20:07
sebsebsebDigital_rouge: still can run it in Gnome, but it will want to put KDE stuff on.  not a problem as long as your partition isn't really stupidly sized.  Plus LInux distros are designed to have many apps installed without problems, unlike WIndows.20:07
Mr_Sonomathen all kinds of options come up20:07
Digital_rougewell do you know of anywher ei can download the old version of ff?20:07
claygMr_Sonoma, checknigs20:07
sebsebsebDigital_rouge: then theres Epiphany which is really the default browser for Gnome, and thats alright.  You know what Gnome is right?  and Galeon used to be the default for Gnome thats ok.20:08
sobersabreclayg: unmount first, then run gparted as root.20:08
claygMr_Sonoma, listed those options - didn't see any thing about paritions20:08
sebsebsebDigital_rouge: and there are some other browsers as well that aren't mentioned in this factoid.20:08
claygsobersabre, will retry that20:08
sebsebseb!browsers | Digital_rouge20:08
ubottuDigital_rouge: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary)20:08
mattmacmanDoes anybody know if there is a Mac OS X channel?20:09
sobersabresebsebseb: the list doesn't show chromium or google chrome.20:09

claygsobersabre, having the same effect, unmounting first then sudo gparted does not list it and doesn't find it20:09
Mr_Sonomaclayg, hold on i'll upload a screen shot of what i'm talking about20:09
sebsebsebsobersabre: I can't not an op.  also I don't like chormeium or Chrome much anyway :)20:09

sobersabreclayg: can you simply switch the usb socket ?20:10
sebsebsebdarkscrypt: hold down esc when the computer boots20:10

sobersabremaybe you have something gone wrong with it.20:10
claygsobersabre, me no good with words, switch you mean put it in a different one?20:11
darkscryptthe computer fails to boot with acpi enabled20:11
claygsorry, that switch word had me confused before thinking you meant a - switch20:11
darkscrypti can boot live cd20:11
darkscryptbut not with acpi20:11
sobersabreswitch means change to similar, but another. right ?20:11
sobersabreme no good with words 2.20:11

martin2anyone caring 4 bugs in 2.6..32-23-generic-phc  ?20:12
claygMr_Sonoma, where do you host pix?20:12

jbremerHello, I have a question... I'm trying to remove a piece of Spyware from my family's Windows computer, is there a Linux program that would be good for this? I tried Avast!, but that seems to only be for viruses.20:23
tomas-_when I do do-release-upgrade, it fails when installing initscripts20:23

AhmedBHhi, i have a issue with lucid, when ever i login with my password after that all i see is a error abotu nautlious or what ever that thing is called, and it says cant create folder and files i dont know what exactly so i hardly created another user account and there i can use it and works fine but i had encrypted the $HOME folder in previous account which now is not working how do i at least recover those files?20:23

rmorgani am trying to mount a smb share and its saying share is write protected mounting read only, cannot mount block device as read only20:24

trebleAnyone know how to get flash plugin for chrome on ubuntu?20:25
sebsebsebjbremer: uhmm20:25
AhmedBHsobersabre: No i did nothing like that its something with that nautilus like some kinda error or something i tried restarted it killed the process but no luck20:25
sobersabreAhmedBH: is it possible you did something inside that directory as root?20:25
sebsebsebjbremer: really when you get malicious programs installed into any OS, you should clean install  the OS to make sure that it is gone properly.  However  you should be able to delete the spyware using the Ubuntu Live CD, once the Windows partition is mounted.20:26
sobersabreor copied something from another user ?20:26
AhmedBHsobersabre:  let me think..what could that be well i guess i didnt done something wrong being on root20:26
AhmedBHsobersabre:   i just usually run update and thats it20:26
sobersabreAhmedBH: make sure all the files (and the home dir itself) belongs to the user...20:26
sebsebsebjbremer: another reason to clean install the OS after malware, is to make sure that no one malicious is using your computer20:26
jbremersebsebseb: I've had success before using a LiveCD to remove a virus, just figured I'd give it a shot for the adware, too.20:26
sobersabredo you know how to do this ?20:26
sobersabrejbremer: did you get a virus on linux ?! cool!!!!20:27
sobersabrewhat virus was it ?20:27
AhmedBHsobersabre: yes they must be there but when i try to enter from another partation or user account i cant really access them20:27
AhmedBHsobersabre:  its encrypted i guess20:27
jbremersobersabre: No, it's under Windows, I'm trying to use Linux to remove it. Sorry if I was indistinct.20:27
sebsebsebsobersabre: no they got Spyware on Windows20:27

slidinghorn!patience | ad7daut720:58
ubottuad7daut7: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait.20:58

AethnenI'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I have no xorg.conf file. I'm running a MacBook420:59
slidinghornad7daut7, what specific command(s) are giving you this error?20:59
vitalysebsebseb: is there a list of features to compare of ubuntu server vs ubuntu desktop20:59
vitaly?20:59
kyle_can't put password in anything for root20:59
Aethnenall of the things on line say to reconfigure the xorg file manually to make the mouse work20:59
sebsebsebvitaly: now if your going to do a proper server for business,  then sure server edition,  or Debian or CentOS,  or Redhat Enterprise LInux or something20:59
ad7daut7umm20:59
ad7daut7im trying to install a program20:59
Aethnenbut when I create an xorg.conf file and stick the stuff in it it won't boot20:59
sebsebsebvitaly: for home use though,  doing servers is rather fine indeed in the desktop version20:59
Ebuntuad7daut7, do you have all the dependencies satisfied?20:59
Aethnenprobably because the xorg.conf file is incomplete20:59
sebsebseb!server | vitaly21:00

slidinghornad7daut7, we're going to try to help you, but let's lay down a couple quick rules...1. if you have something that's multiple lines, use http://paste.ubuntu.org.  2. don't repeat yourself quickly  3. don't use enter as punctuation...try to keep all questions & responses to one line :)21:04
Aethneniceroot and I've noticed the recovery option does not have a autoreconfigure x option.21:04
AethnenI've tried dpkg reconfigure commands21:04
icerootAethnen: the x-server is using auto-detect + xorg.conf  so i dont get what the problem is21:04
luis_e ai21:05
Aethneniceroot the problem is the autodetect is not using the right driver for my mouse21:05
MajorDeath|BT4'Sup21:05
slidinghornad7daut7, do me a favor...run this command and paste the contents of the file to http://paste.ubuntu.org -- gedit /etc/apt/sources.list21:05
Ebuntutomasz go to system->administration->hardware drivers21:05
Aethneniceroot and if I paste the right stuff in xorg.conf it won't boot21:05
icerootAethnen: then put that info into xorg.conf21:05
ad7daut7ok sorry21:05

Aethneniceroot what really bakes my bacon is the Ubuntu people did something in the latest kernel update and now my main computer won't work with NVIDIA-Settings to save the xorg.conf because it can't parse it because it's not there. UBUNTU just leave things alone. :||21:09

Ebuntutomasz, to see if 3d is working at all on your computer you can type in glxgears in a terminal window.21:30
twotentomasz: that's your hardware - now look under System>Administration>Hardware Drivers21:30

tomaszebuntu glsgears its work ok i see gears how works21:31
Ebuntuthen you have opengl installed correctly, so thats not the problem21:31
tomasztowten in harders driver i see only modem drivers21:31
funkyHatShapeShifter499: you can use puttygen to generate an ssh key, export the public key, put it in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server, then you can login without a password21:32

Jordan_UCharley1: It disables detection of fake raid, if the installer thinks that you're using fake raid that it doesn't understand then it will refuse to install to the drive, because if it actually were fake raid that could destroy the data currently in the array.21:38

fuzzygroovei need some help getting WMV files playing in 32 bit firefox (via totem or mplayer) on an amd64 machine. anyone got ideas?22:06

hiexpo?hmm22:06
funkyHatkyle_: oh /media/blah/dev does not exist... ok, maybe the number did change after all22:06
ofi!kernel22:06
ubottuThe core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages22:06
kyle_i'll check22:07
muni_slidinghorn: yup now i remember , but i asked the file size of 64 bit version22:07
funkyHatkyle_: actually it could also be that it's not mounted yet... try double clicking on the icon for the drive22:07
tomaszi have next question22:07
sandkinganyone use gourmet here? :]22:07
ofihow do i install the ubuntu kernel?22:07
tomaszsome body have asus 1201N ?22:07
funkyHatofi: install Ubuntu and the kernel comes for free!22:07
hiexpowhat is the commanad here in irc to send to channel without name  on outside ?22:07
slidinghornmuni_, either way...do not send people private messages unless they have given you specific permission to do so.  That's all I'm going to say about it.22:07
kyle_Yeh it's not there.. 1 sec22:08
aj00200ofi: you mean the linux kernel. Ubuntu runs on the linux kernel22:08

ubottufuzzygroove: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats22:08
fuzzygroovei was looking at the free formats, but unfortunately this is for a client and they *need* wmv :\22:09
muni_slidinghorn: i have 32 bit and i want to install 64 bit , using a 32 bit version22:09
kyle_funkyhat: OK number is same.  ran again, code did not error, returned root@ubuntu prompt22:09
funkyHatkyle_: cool, ok, now run this: addgroup --system admin22:09
johnweddaj00200, no it does not22:10
guntbertmuni_: you have to download the 64bit version and install fresh22:10
funkyHatkyle_: and then adduser kyle admin22:10
fuzzygrooveis there a way to get apt-get install to build 32 bit plugins for firefox? or do i have to chroot?22:10
Ebuntumuni_: do you have more than 4 gigs of ram?22:10
kyle_funkyhat: Done, and Done22:10
tomaszhmm dont work22:10
aj00200johnwedd: if it doesn't work with other oses, it is most likely broken. There are replace kits out there or you could have a professional do it22:10
muni_ebuntu: no22:10
kyle_funkyhat: GID 11922:11
funkyHatkyle_: ok, that should be all22:11
Ebuntumuni_: then there is really no need to get 64bit. why do you want it?22:11
kyle_reboot and see?22:11
funkyHatkyle_: to test, try sudo -i -u kyle, and then sudo -i22:11
FabParmacan you suggest me a desktop search that index only file names and directory? skipping the content of the files?22:11
johnweddaj00200, baring that, i may have to simply keep it connected to the tv, which doen't make sense22:11
muni_Ebuntu:  64 bit is awesome22:11
cannonfodderhey you guys..ive never done something like this before...but how do i add a new option to for example the ls program?  i want to add some code so that all i need do is enter "ls [new flag]" and it will list each file with octal permissions next to it22:12
Ebuntumuni_: :/22:12
cannonfodderbasically i want to edit the program22:12
guntbertcannonfodder: please read man alias22:12

cannonfodder?22:12
aj00200johnwedd: yeah, not much of a point in having a laptop if your stuck to a tv22:12
guntbertcannonfodder: or read the site sebsebseb sent you, there is exactly what you want22:13
Ebuntumuni_: is there any real reason you need it over 32 bit? 64 bit can handle more than 4 gigs of ram. 32 bit can handle 4.22:13
funkyHatkyle_: odd... maybe something to do with being in a chroot. Probably simplest just to reboot and try it22:13
OfreposeHey22:13

Ebuntutomasz: what are you trying to do22:30
Ebuntu?22:30
Ebuntudrazak: you can go into xorg.conf but idk how22:30
drazakEbuntu: right, because the live cd has an xorg.conf22:30
drazakEbuntu: woulda done that if it used one22:30
tomaszf you had no textures in the menu and in the splash (nvidia the way it's meant to be played etc.) and now you do have them, then you *have* solved *this* problem and your current problem is different. It's beyond this HOWTO.22:30
tomaszIf you still don't have any textures in the menu etc., then you must have not properly installed the library (libtxc_dxtn.so). Check it to be in your /usr/lib directory. Use MESA_DEBUG environment variable (set it to some value and start wine) to check if the library was found by Mes22:30
drazakEbuntu: the live cd and most ubuntu installs run in a .confless configuration, that I'm not familiar with22:31

slidinghornfrank82vt, well there's not much information on the actual usage of the script...but usually to execute a python script you can do it one of 2 ways:   1.  python mswinurl_launcher.py  (you have to be in the directory the script is in)  or 2. sudo chmod +x mswinurl_launcher.py && ./mswinurl_launcher.py22:59

burt_sebsebseb  I found the driver r128.4.gz for the ati r128 video card at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lucid/man4/r128.4.html.  How do I install it?23:04
Ebuntu!hi | Ebuntu23:04
ubottuEbuntu, please see my private message23:04
willwork4footom__594, go to the hardware drivers bit in the System Administration area and enable the nvidia drivers.23:05
josedoseok so its not good then23:05
tom__594It is enabled.....  Has the green dot23:05
willwork4footom__594, then reboot and it'll be using those drivers23:05
claybustrAnyone using bacula? I'm trying to figure out how to back up my postgres db.23:05
willwork4footom__594, silly question - you're not using Ubuntu Netbook Edition are you?23:06

claybustrand if I'm using the postgres version of backula, can it still backup the other postgres db's?23:06
sensaeI can't get my display to run at any resolution above 640x480. nvidia proprietary driver.23:06

willwork4footom__594, erm... what?23:06
josedoseiso it wont work then need a better file23:06
willwork4foojosedose, sounds to me like it. However, I'm guessing based on the very vague information you've given me23:07
tom__594and after reinstall and restart it works perfectly but when I restart after that it stops but is still showing the driver in use23:07
willwork4footom__594, very very odd. No idea on that, it's always just worked for me on Nvidia-based systems. I'm using a tiny netbook right now with an intel chipset, and that doesn't need proprietary drivers23:08

indroraTheSkeward: IIRC thats a b43 card... I'd look a little though23:37
willwork4fooridin, I've used Xvidcap before now and it worked fairly well23:37
TheSkewardEbuntu: I don't have ethernet.23:37
indroraAethnen: rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something other than that, like xorg.fail23:38
EbuntuD:23:38
rg58smaridin: recordmydesktop23:38
ridinok, thanks23:38
TheSkewardindrora: what does 'b43 card' mean?23:38
willwork4fooTheSkeward, is it a broadcom card?23:38
willwork4fooTheSkeward, lspci | grep Wireless23:38
Aethnenindrora it's already been deleted, should I make another new one?23:38
indroraTheSkeward: B43 means its based on the Broadcom 43 chipset.23:38
psych787can the ubuntu spalsh screen be DISABLED?23:38
Ebuntui think the ubuntu repo has the broadcom driver23:39
indroraAethnen: If you've gotten rid of it and something else is wrong, it is completely unrelated to X1123:39
psych787I hate the splash screen, I have special scripts and I want to know what they're doing.23:39
ridinok, i've done recordmydesktop and ran it in the terminal, how do i stop it and save it23:39
willwork4fooEbuntu, it does - it's in the restricted drivers thingy23:39
willwork4fooridin, just a guess, but - Ctrl-D?23:39
icerootpsych787: grub1 or grub2?23:39
willwork4foofor end-of-file23:39
willwork4fooEbuntu, of course "thingy" is a technical term23:39
Aethnenindrora okay, any ideas why the default thing you mentioned is no longer getting the sound?23:39
Ebuntu:P23:39
wombatmantheskeward: lspci -nn | grep Network23:40
ridinwillwork4foo, no, but good guess :b23:40
willwork4fooridin, was I close?23:40
Ebuntutheskeward tell us what kind of card it is and we'll get you the drivers23:40
psych787iceroot: Not grub, I mean the splash screen during init.23:40
ridinwillwork4foo, no but it sounded smart `-`23:40
airtonixwillwork4foo, Ebuntu actually that isn't the driver... its just a script that downloads it from somewhere else.23:41
indroraAethnen: Sounds like a problem with the daemon that handles sound.23:41
Ebuntuoh23:41
psych787nevermind23:41
indroraAethnen: I dont know how to restart PulseAudio but I'm pretty sure simply `sudo restart pulseaudio` will do it.23:41
TheSkewardEbuntu: i have the drivers.  wombatman and willwork4foo: when i submit 'grep wireless' the terminal stops working.23:41
willwork4fooairtonix, I know, details details :) The enabling whojamacallit is in the restricted drivers doobrey.23:41
airtonixwillwork4foo, Ebuntu just something to be aware of if you decided to be smart about doing an offline install23:41
willwork4fooTheSkeward, ooo, that sounds nasty.23:42
Aethnenindrora i am using alsa instead of pulseaudio23:42
Ebuntuairtonix, i did n offline install23:42
willwork4fooairtonix, yep - aware that everything is downloaded off the intarweb for Ubuntu when you ask for it23:42
Ebuntupain in the butt23:42
willwork4fooEbuntu, I do those regularly with a USB  stick23:42
=== jared is now known as Guest43842
willwork4fooEbuntu, however, I usually plug it into the web after to get updates23:42
Ebuntu9,00000000 trips to the other computer with usb to get dependencies DX23:43
airtonixindrora, Aethnen its sudo service pulseaudio restart.23:43
indroraairtonix: 'restart' 'start' and 'stop' i thought were linked together to upstart?23:43
airtonixEbuntu, maybe you should read about offline installs then.23:43
airtonixindrora, important part is "service"23:44
Ebuntuairtonix, i was a ubuntu noob and had no idea what i was doing23:44
Vooloois it possible to create a custom menu at the top called "Bookmarks" instead of having it under "Places" ? or a menu like it23:44
Aethnenairtonix the point is, I'm using alsa not pulseaudio23:44
fuzzybunny69yhey everyone I am trying to use xmodmap to assign a certain button on my remote control to toggle the minimization state but I am not sure what to map the button press to23:44
airtonixVooloo, no.23:44
MaMoUshow to restart all network files and settings ?23:44
willwork4fooARGH! That's IT! I can't TAKE this IRC client app any more! I'm going back to xchat! *stomp, stomp, stomp*23:44
Aethnenairtonix there is no pulseaudio on the system23:44
nerdy_kidhow would i pick just the file name out of a absolute file name?23:44
maskbandit:)23:45
Aethnenindrora if restarting something were the solution, I've already restarted the computer about 5 times23:45
airtonixAethnen, there should be if you are using the desktop ubuntu, unless you removed it on bad advice from someone else?23:45
Voolooairtonix: well that sucks.23:45
slidinghornnerdy_kid, could you be a little more specific?  not sure what you mean23:45
airtonixVooloo, not without programming your own23:45
Aethnenairtonix you said it, it was someone else's advice23:46
Ebuntunerdykid, do you mean * or [$name] or somethin?23:46
willwork4fooYou know you're a geek when: You can type your 18-character alphanumeric password in on a new(ish) netbook in the dark, many times over, and not get it wrong once23:46
airtonixAethnen, protip: when someone says remove pulseaudio, ignore them.23:46
Ebuntulol23:46
Aethnenairtonix he has found alsa to work better23:46
Mqueuelol23:46
nerdy_kidslidinghorn im in a script, and a command returns e.g. /home/user/file.desktop how would i strip the file.desktop part out of it? thanks :)23:46
MaMoUshow to restart all network files and settings ?23:47
Voolooairtonix: why does the menu editor lock it to two menus only?23:47
airtonixMamboKing, sudo service Network-Manager restart23:47
indroraAethnen: ALSA has some advantages... what rev macbook are you on?23:47
EbuntuMaMoUs, please be more specific aboute what you need23:47
willwork4fooAaaaaaaaaahhhh, that's more like it.23:47

Zelozelosim using xchat, how do i add a second favorite channel that will automatically connect when i start the app?23:50
indroraAethnen: I'd suggest a fresh install, honestly.23:51
willwork4fooZelozelos, look for the tick box that says "automatically connect" or something - one sec, I'm running xchat I'll take a look23:51

Coder7so, Empathy is a horrible IRC client... are there plans to improve it or choose a different default chat client for ubuntu in the future?23:54
willwork4foosorry, I are a gnome person here. frank82vt try asking in #kubuntu23:54
slidinghornnerdy_kid, I'm having trouble finding where that would return any file location... ?  Did you paste the file that is found or the actual script?23:54
erUSULZelozelos: there are thre more buttons in the dialog that appears when you press the ... butoon one of them is *ADD*23:54

erUSULZelozelos: should be pretty obvious23:54
MaMoUsCoder7: use Pidgin it is the best i'm using it now23:54
willwork4fooerUSUL, already solved - easier than adding it manually :)23:54
Coder7willwork4foo: I just got so sick of it a few minutes ago I pulled out the trusty ol irssi23:54
