[00:21] can someone help me debug this? [00:21] tarandus, 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] hiexpo, can i rollback? [00:21] vladikoff, no if u didn't back up [00:22] Hello everyone.

[00:31] I am 100% against companies attempted to monopolize themselves. [00:31] is it possible to encrypt a external hd with alternative install? [00:31] or any other way?

[00:33] Dougdoug4, watch the language please and stay on topic [00:33] Dougdoug4: and correcting simple grammar mistakes is not helpful. [00:33] bazhang, I use asterisks !

(it moved the deleted item to ".TRASH" folder) [00:36] ede: it's not really deleted until Trash is emptied. [00:36] ede: try cd ~/.Trash [00:36] deleted that ".TRASH" folder also, but it didn't free up memory [00:36] hey everyone, is there a way to tell apt to install the 32bit version of a program? [00:36] ede, right click and eject the card or empty the trash to free the memory. [00:36] and it's deps [00:36] that's the problem,....i ejected the card without deleting the ".TRASH" [00:36] cleverfoo, im interested in that answer myself [00:37] and then i went to delete via the phone file browser itself [00:37] ede: reinsert the card and empty the trash [00:37] its gone now [00:37] i want to install zsnes in x86_64 and it even shows up in the software center but wont install because its 32 bit [00:37] there's no ".TRASH" folder any longer [00:37] but still show 2gig used up [00:37] :( [00:38] Format the card? [00:38] Hello, 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] was hoping to solve it without wiping the card :P [00:38] Oh :P [00:38] letalis: snes9x-x and snes9x-express have 64 bit versions [00:38] Also, I'm using kernel version 2.6.32-23-generic. [00:38] i guess that is the last resort =( [00:39] Yeah :P [00:39] mneptok, yeah i know, but ive always liked zsnes a little better [00:39] thought there were more hidden stuff somewhere [00:39] vladikoff: still here? [00:39] sebsebseb, yeah [00:39] sebsebseb, i am gonna format the server and start over [00:40] Giggaflop: I know this was like 20 minutes or so ago, but I saw it in the backlog, watch the language :) [00:40] anyone using Opera on ubuntu? [00:40] tarandus: Why? [00:40] tarandus: Yes, I am. [00:40] vladikoff: server aye? [00:41] a browser war is taking place in my head right now [00:41] Would 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] sebsebseb, yeah i just wanted to run an upgrade, not sure what happend [00:41] ABBADON: What are you trying to accomplish exactly? Does "qemu -fda /path/to/floppy_image" do what you need? [00:41] tarandus: well Firefox :) other browsers you can use sometimes as a secondary though, well thats how I do things :) [00:41] vladikoff: the server you mean the repos? or the server edition of Ubuntu or what? [00:41] sebsebseb, server edition of ubuntu, i had it working for a year [00:42] vladikoff: oh [00:42] vladikoff: well [00:42] Can 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] sebsebseb, indeed [00:42] vladikoff: if your not alwasy going to upgrade the server, stay with the LTS, thats recommended [00:42] vladikoff: also they have a channel [00:42] !server | vladikoff [00:42] vladikoff: 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-server [00:42] sebsebseb, 9.10 is an lts [00:43] vladikoff: no it is not [00:43] oh snap [00:43] vladikoff: altough it is still supported untill the end of April next year [00:43] vladikoff: when the previous LTS 8.04 will run out of support on the desktop [00:43] Jordan_U: Not exactly. I'm using bochs. My specific commands that I use are: [00:43] sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/floppy [00:43] sudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt [00:43] sudo cp/src/bootable/image /mnt/bootable/image [00:43] ABBADON: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:43] sudo umount /dev/loop0 [00:43] sudo /sbin/losetup -d /dev/loop0 [00:44] vladikoff: then the server version of 8.04 still has another idea, anyway yeah doing a clean install of 10.04 Server Edition sounds ok [00:44] !flood | ABBADON [00:44] ABBADON: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:44] sebsebseb, yeah i will do that [00:44] vladikoff: another idea? uh compelty typed wrong thing there. another two years support on the server [00:44] Whoa, sorry about that. I'll use pastebin next time. [00:45] vladikoff: and yeah check your ISO before using :) [00:45] !md5sum | vladikoff [00:45] vladikoff: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:45] !hashes [00:45] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [00:45] :) great thanks [00:46] open terminal type md5sums filename [00:46] ABBADON: My question is *why* are you using bochs, and what is your end goal? [00:46] otherwise your the "starup disc creator" to make an USB Pen bootable with the image.. but always check md5 sum.. :) [00:46] hiexpo: well nearly, instead vladikoff would open termianl and type md5sum filename [00:46] hiexpo: you put an s after md5sum [00:47] oops md5sums filename [00:47] vladikoff: 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 it [00:47] typo [00:47] otherwise look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [00:47] vladikoff: 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 everything [00:48] I'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] complete guide of md5sum [00:48] ninjamaster: That link was in the bot factoid! [00:48] sebsebseb, - pm [00:49] hiexpo: ok [00:49] just joined this channel 10 minutes ago [00:49] ABBADON: If you just need to boot a virtual floppy disk then qemu is more standard, and therefore better supported. [00:49] ninjamaster: oh right [00:49] hehe :) [00:50] ninjamaster: well I did use the factoid after you joined, but since it wasn't directly aimed at you, easy enough to miss [00:50] i need help [00:50] hiexpo: uhmm I didn't get a pm from you [00:51] !ask | joker_ [00:51] joker_: 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).

So once I get it installed on my system, then "qemu -fda /path/to/floppy_image" should do it? [00:51] joker_: oh right yeah [00:51] ABBADON: Yes. [00:51] joker_: mibbit is a web based IRC [00:52] joker_: and so not a real IRC, I mean its just a web based one, use in a browser, not in a IRC client [00:52] Jordan_U: Will do, then. [00:52] oh so cause its web based it wont work? [00:52] joker_: I haven't actsaully used mibbit myself maybe once [00:52] brasil alguem ai fala portugues o link do ubuntu brasikl [00:52] joker_: when you use mibbit you will connect to Freenode to chat here, but you can use a real IRC client program to chat here :) [00:52] !br | lilucax [00:52] lilucax: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

What's going on? === andrewl_ is now known as andrewl [01:29] How my make my ubuntu faster? [01:29] I want my ubuntu to fly [01:30] osmodivs: the system will clear out caches in memory and in swap, and if it keeps growing above the available space, it will force the application that's taking all the memory to terminate [01:30] the 300 megs of ram is what i calculated by adding all the memory listed for all the processes. [01:31] underdev: what does "free -m" say? [01:31] aW MAN!! [01:31] why does adjusting the screen brightness cause everything to pause even sound? [01:31] all this time for nothing!?

[01:31] I have Ubuntu 10.04 [01:32] osmodivs: Blender has fairly good memory management; it shouldn't go over. no need to panic. [01:32] osmodivs: is that launched? [01:32] how can i check my ubuntu version? [01:32] squicle: for the ethernet i'm using the minimal CD but the installation dont detect my wired network card [01:32] valentinex: you can type in a terminal "cat /etc/issue.net" [01:32] squircle: -/+ buffers/cache: used 1550 [01:32] Haxor: what make & model is the computer and/or the network card?

It had some in the RC. is it back? [01:33] underdev: it's quite possible that you didn't add the memory of all threads of each process [01:33] heheh i already have latest "You are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [01:33] - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013" [01:33] valentinex: there you go :) [01:34] !grubrepair | raggs [01:34] raggs: 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. [01:34] squircle: possibly. but i'm not running much of anything right now, certainly not 1.5g worth [01:34] Haxor: let me check the compatibility; gimme a minute [01:34] raggs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [01:34] squircle: ok [01:35] underdev: linux uses a lot of space for disk caches and stuff; it's using your memory as efficiently as possible [01:35] squircle: i didnt lose it installing windows and i have tried the wiki [01:35] raggs: the process is still the same; did something not work? [01:36] squircle: yes, the last time i tried it something did not work, i dont recall atm what that was [01:36] bmj [01:36] squircle: doesn't look like it. Cache is reported seperately. [01:36] squircle: looks like a huge memory leak to me [01:36] underdev: "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 fixed [01:36] could be firefox, chromium, or chrome [01:37] underdev: all three are memory hogs. they're browsers after all! [01:38] squircle: but they are closed now. http://pastebin.com/Hp5yvLS8 [01:38] underdev: don't forget that 1329 + 80 of the 2959 used are caches [01:38] underdev: "used" is everything-in (including caches) [01:39] squircle: right. do you see that i'm using 1.5gig not including caches? [01:39] What is athread in a CPU? [01:39] Haxor: to confirm, it's wired, not wireless, correct? [01:40] osmodivs: 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] squircle: sure is wired [01:40] I 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] squircle: and again, in system monitor, if i add up the memory listed by the processes listed, it's about 300meg. which seems about right. [01:41] Like cache? [01:41] ok, i'll see in Wikip [01:41] underdev: 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 leak [01:41] okay, so there is a giant gapping memory leak somewhere. Thank you squircle [01:41] osmodivs: not quite like cache; see wiki for more info [01:41] underdev: no worries :) [01:42] not, *the* kurzweil?

[02:19] wich is why im confused [02:20] tarandus: when it happened i had to run to best buy and get an ethernet cable... [02:20] linux_is_my_hero: I do ;) will try your suggestion. [02:20] Doonz_: 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] anyone 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 :-) [02:21] Jordan_U: ok did you see the reply about the read link output [02:21] Doonz_: Yes. [02:21] I'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. [02:21] *confused* [02:21] does it show in proc? sudo cat/proc/scsi/scsi as a attached device? [02:22] ruari: it list under /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc [02:22] Alright, I have the ethernet wire plugged in and nothing's happening............ [02:22] ruari: command not found [02:22] minderaser: You probably accidentally installed grub to your windows partition. Can you pastebin the output of "debconf show grub-pc"? [02:23] *sigh* any ideas? [02:23] tarandus: if you have anything already running ethernet, just use that cable temporarily so the situation doesnt get more complicated. [02:23] !dualboot [02:23] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:24] tarandus: if not then u may have a bad etehrnet cable, or ethernet card, or wired switch may be malfunctioning [02:24] hi. I need help getting a second hard drive to mount at boot. It already has info on it so I don't want to format the disk. [02:24] quentin, fstab [02:24] !fstab [02:24] 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 !Partitions [02:24] it was the wire [02:25] linux_is_my_hero: how to get updates? [02:25] tarandus: gotta get my laundry, be back in like 5. id like to help you, so please be patient. :-) [02:25] linux_is_my_hero: that's fine. Thank you. let me know when you return [02:26] Voldenet: I'm trying to edit fstab right now. Thing is I can't remember how to get it to recognize the name of the disk. Like /dev/sdb. [02:26] I installed Google Chrome. How do I run it now? It's nowhere to be seen! [02:26] * Doonz_ bangs head on wall [02:26] Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/51GvVbpa [02:26] quentin, 1st disk: sda, 2nd: sdb, 3rd: sdc [02:26] etc. [02:26] tarandus: use the google-chrome command [02:26] Jordan_U: I don't think that will be very helpful though [02:27] Use cfdisk to check partitions on particular disks [02:27] it's easy tool [02:27] midoatata: Sorry, "sudo debconf-show grub-pc". [02:29] Jordan_U: updated http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/sgDpKgs1 [02:30] minderaser: Ok, this guide should get windows booting again: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [02:31] Jordan_U: I'll check it out. I wasn't having much luck googling my problem. Thanks [02:31] Haxor: What does that mean exactly? The Google Chrome command? [02:31] minderaser: Be sure when you're installing grub that you *never* install to a partition. [02:31] minderaser: You're welcome. [02:32] tarandus: open a terminal an put "google-chrome" [02:32] *sigh* anyone [02:32] Jordan_U: The 3rd line of the paste looks to me like it's install to the drive, not a partition of it. Is that what you were looking for? [02:32] Best to run Ubuntu as a Virtual Machine :) [02:33] hi, can I add an opensuse build repo that does ubuntu builds to apt? [02:33] trying to add the openvas opensuse build service [02:33] Haxor: What's a terminal? Ha! [02:34] minderaser: Yes, I was making sure that the grub-pc package wasn't set to install to a partition. Most of the times people come in with these symptoms it's because they were asked during an upgrade of the grub-pc package which devices to install to... === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:34] tarandus: the easy way xD use the keys "alt + f2" and put "google-chrome" [02:35] it says could not open location [02:35] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/mjr1iLs3 [02:35] ruari: http://pastebin.com/mjr1iLs3 [02:35] minderaser: Since what they choose for that setting will be used to install grub on any later upgrades of the packages I was making sure that that setting was correct before restoring the partition boot record (as people also sometimes leave if I tell them how to fix the boot record without letting me tell them how to prevent it from getting overwritten again:) [02:35] Can anyone recommend a good media player to install, so I can watch the videos I take with my camera? [02:36] anyone got netbook with Intel GMA 3150 Graphics? how is performance for youtube? [02:36] rosco_y: use vlc its a good media player [02:36] Doonz_: Ok, fsck is running for some reason. Do *not* kill it. [02:37] Haxor: :) Great! thanks [02:37] I Noticed in the update for brasero: " - Lot's of memleak fixes" [02:37] because its running thats why i cant mount it? [02:37] rosco_y: =) [02:37] meatbun: 99% of the time it's not the graphics, it's flash & the processor [02:37] "Lot's" is a typo? or a computer term? [02:37] Jordan_U: because its running thats why i cant mount it? [02:37] would make sense [02:37] Doonz_: Yes. [02:37] phew [02:38] *wipes brow* [02:38] is that like checkdisk? [02:38] jnice job Jordan_U! [02:38] squircle: i mean Intel GMA 3150 Graphics CARD [02:38] Doonz_: Yes. [02:38] paste cut off [02:38] Doonz_: And with the size of your arrays it's going to take a while. [02:38] ok [02:39] thanx [02:39] is there a way i can tail its progress [02:39] meatbun: I know; what I'm trying to tell you is that it's rarely the graphics card that will determine flash's performance on websites like Youtube. usually the bottleneck is the CPU. === Doonz_ is now known as Doonz === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [02:40] squircle: ahm..... ion2 is gonna come out soon. and adobe has yet to release new optimized flash [02:40] Jordan_U: can i just kill that process and rerun it when i get things mounted? [02:41] well, bottleneck is flash there, using totem to play yt movies is good choice [02:41] Doonz: Progress info is being sent to file descriptor 10, which isn't incredibly helpfull except that it means that there is a front end trying to comunicate the infor to you somehow (maybe a dialog on the physical screen) [02:41] not to make another debate but would you say Ubuntu is more user friendly than windows xp? [02:41] squircle: they the time adobe comes out with new flash, netbooks dont need it anymore with new ion2 [02:41] I mean [02:41] !troll > LLLLL [02:41] LLLLL, it is? [02:41] LLLLL, please see my private message [02:41] Windows in general [02:41] Voldenet: you mean cache video first [02:42] I am trying to establish a vpn connection with a friends computer. Running 9.10 right now. I know all the settings are right because I had set it up on a windows machine and connected just fine. I try to connect on ubuntu and i get vpn connection fail. Vpn could not start [02:42] Doonz: I wouldn't kill fsck, and you can't run fsck on a mounted filesystem anyway. [02:42] not to make another debate but would you say Ubuntu is more user friendly than windows xp? [02:42] like I said [02:42] not to make a debate [02:42] meatbun, i mean using combo: "greasemonkey + firefox + youtube" [02:42] LLLLL, you were told. [02:42] !troll | LLLLL [02:42] LLLLL: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [02:43] Voldenet: oh... lol greasemonkey.... funny name [02:43] meatbun, it is [02:43] LLLLL: please just keep on the topíc, this is a SUPPORT ONLY channel, you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic and talk there [02:43] Doonz: I'm trying to figure out how to access the progress info right now.

[02:44] You can't "edit" sites, it changes in your browser === thurloat_ is now known as thurloat [02:45] Voldenet, obviously it will only work with FLV streams.

Voldenet [02:45] Jordan_U: I just pastebin'd the output of boot info http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/pqwgvkdj Can you take a look? [02:45] I used to use it half year ago, forgot its name, sorry.

[02:50] that's not even a bad word [02:50] any luck getting to the internet with ethernet? [02:51] yes, I'm connected to the internet [02:51] But it says that there are no updates available/I'm up-to-date [02:51] hmmm, i see a bunch of "CailReadATIRegister" lines (and some Write lines) but the very last line in gdm/\:0.log is "FreeFontPath: FPE \"/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc\" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing." .... i wonder where that is or how to fix it [02:51] alright, restart and try it again [02:51] tarandus: restart and try again [02:52] meatbun: Flipping someone off is not apropriate for this channel, especially not in response to someone innocently posting in Chinese. [02:52] Jordan_U: I just updated pastebin with a little more info from grub.cfg [02:52] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/yzSSdnL8 [02:52] minderaser: Could you just post the complete RESULTS.txt? [02:52] alright [02:53] hi [02:53] Ubuntu is running significantly slower than XP Pro was running... I wonder if there's something wrong [02:54] of course there is === Guest92261 is now known as DaZ [02:54] ubuntu is normally 3 or 5 times faster [02:54] are you running it from live cd? [02:54] nope [02:54] Jordan_U: done. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2uuTAtz4 [02:54] what are your specs? [02:54] how do I stop keyring from starting up after every boot? [02:55] I threw Ubuntu on a dusty machine: ibm thinkpad w/ pentium 3 @ 1ghz w/ 1gb of ram [02:56] linux_is_my_hero: my wireless internet seems to be working now. What! [02:56] Hi.. I wanna execute a file on GUI (TTY 7) from a SSH login (PST) any idea? [02:57] tarandus: perfect im fixing to drive somewhere glad it worked though :-) [02:57] nite [02:57] thanks. [02:57] minderaser: Was windows booting properly before you installed Ubuntu? Did you resize the Windows partition when installing Ubuntu, or did you keep the free space for Ubuntu when you were installing windows? [02:58] salve [02:58] Alright, anyone: I installed Google Chrome. Now how do I open it up? [02:58] It's nowhere to be found... [02:59] is it possible to execute a file on a different shell than the one we are logged in??? [03:00] I have a computer across the country.. I can ssh into it, and would like to remote desktop to it, but I have not checked the "Allow other users to view/control your desktop".. how can I set these options from the terminal? [03:02] Jordan_U: Originally I had XP and Lucid working together correctly. I installed Win7 into some used space on the drive and deleted the partition XP was on. Win7 would boot ok after its install. When I updated grub with a live cd (went to grub2 as well) I can no longer boot Win7 [03:03] tarandus: it should be in apps>internet ; why not chromium¿¿ is open source ;) [03:03] geekyogi: i haven't done it in ages but you should be able to set DISPLAY environment variable and program will launch in gui [03:03] xangua: I don't know how to install Chromium [03:04] tarandus: you open the software center, search it and install it [03:04] tarandus: applications > internet > google chrome ? [03:04] minderaser: Was windows 7 booting after you removed the XP partition? [03:04] Jordan_U: yes [03:04] Gyllinda: That does work. I didn't install it properly earlier, it was my mistake. Thank you === niky is now known as nikyr0x [03:05] minderaser: Odd, try asking in #grub. [03:06] Jordan_U: will do. thanks [03:06] minderaser: And sorry about the red herring at the start, I should have asked you to confirm that was the problem with boot info script first. [03:06] Jordan_U: No worries. Glad for the help! === sejuk is now known as matahati` === FrankLv_ is now known as FrankLv [03:12] How do I get rid of the overly obnoxious keyring?!?! [03:12] Where? [03:13] It popped up when I typed in my network key, when I'm trying to log into my broadcoast accounts... I don't want to use it. [03:13] Jordan_U: damn, you're everywhere [03:13] yes, i have the same problem, how do you get rid of the key ring [03:14] Anyone know how to enable Remote Desktop access from the command line? [03:14] does anyone know how to get networking 'enabled' when booting? recently my laptop has decided that when I boot up networking is disabled, starting to get annoying :) [03:14] minderaser,i hope he's not in my fridge... [03:15] minderaser: :) [03:15] thurloat: Networkmanager doesn't make a connection until after your user has logged in, if that's what you're talking about [03:15] anyone tried Opera for Linux? [03:15] !anyone | Augustuen [03:15] i tried [03:15] Augustuen: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:16] what did that meaN? [03:16] Quick iptables question. What is the iptables command I would use to forward requests arriving on my local machines eth1 interface for port 8080, to my lo (loopback, 127.0.0.1) interface port 8080? (no I am not mad. ;) I know it's strange... ) [03:16] Augustuen: means if you have Opera issues, then ask straight away [03:16] Dont ask a question like "anyone did ...." when there are 1300 ppl on chanel [03:16] ok [03:17] Augustuen: me personally never tried Opera, Firefox for the win. :D [03:17] how do you get rid of the keyring thing [03:17] anyone? [03:17] !patience | ross_ [03:17] ross_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:17] I only use firefox on Ubuntu, don't like it on any other platform [03:18] well i figure that they might not have heard me so I asked again [03:18] Stupendoussteve: i mean, after I log in, i recently have had to right click the wireless icon in the bar and check "enable networking" [03:18] ross_, activate the tick in network manager that reads enable connection for all users ans just click the keyring away [03:20] ubutom_ where is the network manager located [03:20] Can I run AMAROK on Ubuntu Netbook Remix and Mint - or is it strictly for KDE? [03:20] mikeds: you can run it, the kde libs will also be installed [03:20] system>administration menu [03:21] ok i see it is downloadig kde related things now - does that cause an issue [03:21] ross_, system->settings->network connections or click on the icon in tasklist and configure [03:21] mikeds: Not at all [03:21] Ok, so what can you suggest me to make unix style copy / paste work, it works only in some applications but not in others. [03:21] ok - sounds good - anything else to consider or is amarok the best? [03:21] (select to copy, middle click to paste) [03:21] mikeds: Some menus, like the open/save menu may look different than you're used to, but that's it [03:21] MikeChelen, well... [03:21] how do I get the default mac4lin theme back? [03:21] there are 1000 players available [03:21] mikeds: Rhythmbox is good too, but I also prefer Amarok even though I shun KDE otherwise [03:22] I have had some isues with Rythm (newbie) but I head good things about rokso I thought I w9ld try it === xand_ is now known as Guest30577 [03:23] STUSTEVE: what is it about KDE that a lot of people seem put off? Is it just that it looks like Windows sort of? [03:23] ubutom_ : i don't see the tick that you mentioned [03:23] hello, anyone who uses kupfer can please tell me how to make it index deeper levels of a directory ? [03:23] mikeds, kde is unuseful [03:23] it is slow [03:23] it got few nice features [03:23] so heavier interface [03:24] ross_, select the connection, hit edit and a window will pop up, on the bottom there is the checkbox you have to enable, did that with my wireless and keyring never bothered me after [03:24] i am on ubuntu for the first ime. [03:24] i am exciteed. my grandson conectedthis [03:24] Canadian: Welcome :) Congratulations [03:24] I think the interface looks more polished, if you call a windows looking interface polished. But I am running Mint and Netbook Remix so far. I have not loaded a KDE distro yet. [03:24] ubutom_ : oh i see - available for all users [03:24] mikeds: it's personal preference, but some people seem to think their opinion is fact. Try it and see whether it works for you :) [03:25] ross_, exactly [03:25] Does anyone have any suggestion as to why my fresh installation of Ubuntu is running significantly slower than my previous OS (XP Pro)? [03:25] It's bad! [03:25] Slower in what aspect, can you give more detail [03:25] tarandus, windows XP Pro is old compared to the newest linux, linux also takes up ressources [03:26] ubutom_ : got it - thank [03:26] Everything takes more time - boot time is longer, load times (when opening a web browser), going to 'places' [03:26] mikeds: KDE looks nice, I agree. It has/had some bugs that kept me away. Some of the new design decisions they have made just confuse me, I am used to a more straightforward desktop (Gnome, XFce, or Windows) [03:26] ross_, your welcome [03:26] tarandus: 10.04 version? [03:26] ubutom_: That would make sense, but I wouldn't expect *that* big of a difference. [03:26] Gryllida: Yes. [03:26] i love ubuntu and the people who help people who wants to learn ubuntu [03:26] ubutom - 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] mikeds: There is no reason you cannot install both KDE and Gnome, you can choose between them when you log in [03:27] Seriously, I would have dropped Ubuntu already if it wasn't for the community in this channel [03:27] :) [03:27] tarandus: Are you using an older computer? You might consider xubuntu [03:27] TARA: What hardware, what issues? [03:27] Stupendoussteve: To test out Linux, yeah, I'm using a dusty machine [03:27] tarandus: 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? [03:28] what the heck is gvfsd and why is it eating up all my ram [03:28] tarandus: s/software/hardware [03:28] tarandus: Ah, in that case I would definitely try xubuntu. Modern Ubuntu expects a modern machine [03:28] I am running Netbook Remix on older crappy Celeron laptop and its great - also running Xbuntu on older Celeron desktop and its nice [03:28] ATTENTION! grats out to the (G)(N)|A/A| [03:28] tarandus, well, that'S a bad idea with a new distribution, it's like installing win7 on the dusty one, won't run good either ;) [03:28] !requirements | tarandus [03:28] tarandus: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu === Gryllida is now known as gryllida [03:29] If you're curious you can see the recommended requirements [03:29] Exactly: Linux can work well on older hardware, but I would think Ubuntu is the Win 7 of the Linux world as far as weight [03:29] what the heck is gvfsd and why is it eating up all my ram? and furthermore is it safe to kill it? [03:29] !gvfsd [03:29] TARA" Ram and Processor and hard drive speed please [03:29] !info gvfsd [03:29] Package gvfsd does not exist in lucid [03:29] Stupendoussteve: I meet the minimum requirements [03:29] oh [03:29] hmm. [03:29] gryllida: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:30] I'm not. [03:30] gnome virtual filesystem daemon [03:30] gvfsd is GNOME's virtual fs [03:30] ^^ [03:30] "virtual"? [03:30] tarandus: And as you mentioned, it works but just slowly? If you _just_ meet the minimums you still might enjoy a lighter version [03:30] Gryllida: 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 though [03:30] rigel, try a reboot and see if it helps. In usually doesn't take up that much memory. [03:30] Anybody here use ubuntu with a palm visor? [03:30] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS [03:31] Stupendoussteve: That is correct. I'll try to throw Xubuntu on there. Any other distributions worth checking out? [03:31] is there an ubuntu program that will test computer hardwarre for errors? [03:31] tarandus: what Gwibber service? Are you on Gnome? It is at System > Administration > Sysytem Monitor > Processes tab [03:31] tarandus: DSL [03:31] evon: depends on the hardware [03:31] I'm only worried that other distributions won't look as clean and nice as Ubuntu [03:31] tarandus: damn small linux, feather linux [03:32] tarandus: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org but you would possibly struggle to make all of your hardware work. [03:32] tarandus: do you have compiz on¿¿ better shut it down, there is no much diference between ubuntu a d xubuntu; i would recomend lubuntu for low resources [03:32] prash: that's a windows troubleshooting technique [03:32] i would prefer not to [03:32] is it safe to kill gvfsd? [03:32] what is the command for checking ram usage [03:32] lubuntu is not official [03:32] kbrosnan, i want to test my nvidia video card [03:32] df -r? [03:32] will it respawn i mean [03:32] rigel, if thats what you feel, just restart your gnome session [03:32] rigel: don't think it safe [03:33] free [03:33] ross_: free [03:33] After all this trouble of installing Ubuntu, gonna try to get on xubuntu... [03:33] * tarandus shakes his head [03:33] rigel, from a virtual terminal "sudo service gdm restart" [03:33] Compiling: is that a break down command? [03:33] rigel: it handles automounts of various resources, i wouldnt disable it [03:33] Compiling: to show what program is using how much and such? [03:34] I'm trying to help my cousin recover her palm visor contacts. Her physical jack is fubared (4-year-old being "helpful" :-). [03:34] rigel: usb sticks would not automount among many other issues [03:34] Her 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] tarandus: maybe I missed it, what do you see in system monitor [03:34] ross_: if you want breakdown by program you can use top, its like task manager [03:34] tarandus: It's one of the more full-featured Ubuntu versions. A little more lightweight, I have run xfce on a 100mhz machine with 32gb ram [03:34] ross_: if you want a GUI, use gnome system monitor [03:34] er, mb ram :) [03:34] prash: that worked, thanks. [03:35] Compiling: where is top [03:35] rigel, you're welcome. [03:35] tarandus: That is to say, full-features lightweight distros. You'll likely find other ones are a bit foreign to use [03:35] nevermind lol [03:35] yeah [03:35] ross_: If you want to see which are the top 10 memory hogs for example: ps -eo pmem,pid,command | sort -r -k1 | less [03:35] ross_: top is a CLI program [03:35] Gryllida: What am I looking for in the monitor? === PHANTOM is now known as Guest15614 [03:37] tarandus: the processes tab [03:37] tarandus: do you see it? [03:37] yes [03:37] the computer froze on my other computer, what can I do to get a response? [03:37] And in the processes tab.. [03:37] hi [03:37] Hello? [03:37] evon: it's hard to think of something other than running some benchmarks/programs and looking at output. Is there a specific problem you are having? [03:38] dggg [03:38] Gryllinda: What am I looking for in the processes tab? It looks like everything is sleeping or using up less than 10mb of memory === Guest15614 is now known as Black_Phantom [03:39] tarandus: sort the processes by CPU [03:39] !helpbot [03:39] thune3, 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] I'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] Gryllida: Done. Everything is at 0 except the system monitor itself at 18% [03:39] tarandus: 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 issue [03:40] Exactly: 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 ram [03:40] tarandus: ok, what are the being slow symptoms then? [03:40] Tarandus: 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 ram [03:40] :s [03:40] How can I mount all partitions on a server's hard drive? My box is running 10.04 and I have SSH access but need to mount its Win7 partition to grab a file off of it. [03:40] randerzander: Mount /dev/drivepartition /mountlocation [03:40] randerzander: are they all in fstab? you could do mount -a [03:41] hola [03:41] Tarandus: if screen scrolling is low on web pages you may need to find a better video driver. [03:41] Gryllinda: The boot time is viciously long, and so are load/startup times for applications (like the web browser), going to different 'places' (explorer), and more [03:41] hi [03:41] I will try Xubuntu and report back in a few minutes. It sounds promising === danielleek is now known as Daniel [03:41] xubuntu is the best [03:41] Tarandus: that sounds like maybe a slow rpm hard drive [03:41] test [03:42] dominican [03:43] testing [03:43] mikeds: That sounds like it could be the problem, but just earlier today i was on XP Pro and it wasn't this laggy [03:43] Daniel: yes we can see you, do you have an ubuntu related question¿ [03:43] Compiling: Where will the newly mounted drives show up? [03:43] mikeds: with more 'crap' installed before formatting for ubuntu [03:43] run a df [03:43] see which drives are mounted where [03:44] español [03:45] Tarandus: try lubuntu: http://lubuntu.net/about [03:45] hola [03:45] Well - 5200 rpm and better should be decent performance - but older than that could make loads slow I would guess [03:45] Tarandus: it uses LXDE and is lighter than Xubuntu AFAIK [03:46] como estas [03:46] I think L Buntu is even lighter than X Buntu [03:46] it is [03:46] sounds like it [03:46] It is not an official release [03:46] humberto: looking for ubuntu support¿ [03:46] I used used ubuntu on 5200 rpm, 10 gb, it was fine, only a minor change in performance. [03:46] I have Xbuntu on a Celeron 1.6 512 ram and its decent, usable. [03:46] therefore you would not come here for support, just like mint [03:47] it has the ubuntu 10.04 core [03:47] hola [03:47] any questions here would be applicable === Roasted_ is now known as Roasted [03:47] danielleek: I have sda, sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4, and sda5.. 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /test' gives "mount point /test does not exist" [03:47] Untrue, they have the #lubuntu channel for a reason. The official channel does not do support for derivatives [03:48] its not like you have to say what version you're running === ascent__ is now known as ki0sx [03:48] Of course not, until people tell you to open things that do not exist on your distro [03:48] they are functionally the same [03:48] !derivatives [03:48] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [03:48] then he can use the lubuntu support channel if he wants [03:48] calm down [03:48] I am calm :) [03:49] Was just changing my nick, and to the person (Don't know name) who asks me if i have any ubuntu related questions, i don't.. i'm just here to help [03:49] randerzander: do mkdir /mnt/name and then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/name, use sudo. [03:49] i dont see lubuntu in there [03:49] Those are some examples [03:49] Compiling: The irc chat is #lubuntu [03:49] Yep [03:49] Is there a hardcore Linux group of users angered over Ubuntu and its users? [03:49] i dont use it lol [03:50] Those are examples :) A derivative is a derivative, only those released by Canonical are supported here [03:50] I don't use it either, but some are "angered" [03:50] mikeds: If you don't like ubuntu, don't use it [03:50] Usually they just want to feel superior [03:50] No, I use it - but I am wondering if its like when your favorite obscure band hits the big time [03:50] I use ubuntu server most of the time [03:51] But i know a lot about ubuntu :) [03:51] I don't even use Ubuntu to tell you the truth, I just answer questions here when im bored [03:51] smooch - had you looked at other server options [03:51] Compile: what do you use [03:51] depends on the context [03:51] Please visit ubuntu-offtopic for anything unrelated to ubuntu [03:51] at work we use rhel and rhel based distributions [03:51] gryllida: tarandus: I tried Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 on a 238MB lap top and it ran well. It was probably a little zippier than Xubuntu was. Didn't get to try Lubuntu so I can't say anything about that. Note that there are #xubuntu and #lubuntu irc channels for support. [03:51] my laptop has flavours of bsd and solaris [03:51] ok - "the hat" [03:52] RJames vs Ubuntu netbook round 2: So yesterday I tried loading 10.04-netbook live CD onto a USB and then tried booting from it. It semi-worked, but loaded up a login prompt when I never configured a user/pass to begin with. This behavior was on both my netbook and desktop. So today, I loaded ubuntu-netbook 9.10 onto the same USB drive... and walla, I can boot from it and get into the OS. I can connect to network, launch firefox, li [03:52] helping out here keeps my memory fresh for Debian-based administration [03:52] Newboon: same here typing now from the Netbook Edition on older crappy laptop - runs nice [03:52] when i run into it :) [03:52] exatly - good to run or use a few [03:52] You never know what you might learn :) [03:53] RJames: Your stuff was too long [03:53] lold [03:53] But if I try to install the bugger from the USB to the netbook's SSD drive... 67% through the install, I get a disk error. Any troubleshooting tips to check if it's the SSD drive or the usb drive?

[03:53] newboon2age: What's the major differences between the Remix/Netbook and the Desktop anyway? [03:54] lmao [03:54] and burn slow [03:54] I'm already installing the xubuntu-desktop package, so we'll see how well that fares.. [03:54] Tarandus: did you ever post your specs? [03:54] tarandus: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is made directly for well netbooks [03:55] tarrandus: The Desktop version is men't for laptops or desktops [03:55] I loaded the Netbook edition onto my older laptop knowing that most netbooks were lowered powered underpowered etc [03:55] it seemed like a good match [03:55] Mostly the UI, Network Edition is optimized for a smaller screen [03:55] tarandus: the interface is different. that's about it [03:55] Couldn't of put it better myself :D [03:55] I agree: it has a nice layout on its interface, very usable with less clicking thru menus [03:55] what 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 xppro [03:56] XP Pro was released when those specs were considered outstanding ;) [03:56] but ubuntu looks gorgeous, i'm thinking of installing it side-by-side windows 7 on my main desktop [03:56] tarandus: 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] ntu [03:56] Tarandus that sounds like enough for Xbuntu, I am Celeron 1.6 Dell Optiplex 320 running a 5200 rpm drive [03:56] yeah [03:56] Offtopic: No one is talking in ubuntu-server [03:56] xp is from 2001 [03:56] so yeah [03:57] I wish I knew why the 'check the file system' command in the palimpset disk utility is grayed out for me. [03:57] if there is a slowness in ubuntu there are too things you can do [03:57] tarandus, add ram/faster swap disk [03:57] two [03:57] tarandus: XP recommended specs are 300mhz and 128mb ram... that is why XP runs relatively quickly on there [03:57] or switch to a lighter linux, like crunchband or DSL. [03:57] crunchbang is best on all but the very lightest [03:57] is there a civilization 4 channel? [03:57] dsl is good on pentiums, 486s [03:57] tarandus: check out swappiness: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [03:57] I would say on this laptop XP home ran a tad smoother or quicker than the Netbook Ubuntu. But overall both are usable whereas as Vista on this machine was a dog [03:57] Ubuntu needs an online 'Which version is right for me?' [03:58] Win7 is amazing though, you guys might hate me for saying this, but I haven't found a Linux distro to match up/replace it on the main machine yet [03:58] for PIIs or PIIIs or slow P4s i recommend Crunchbang [03:58] i much prefer ubuntu to win7 [03:58] but thats an #ubuntu-offtopic [03:58] Amazing in what way? Certainly you mean graphically? [03:58] discussion. [03:58] Loneclock: Unlikely. "/msg alis help list" for info on channel searching. Network questions go in #freenode, for future reference. [03:58] I already tried 'erase the contents of the drive' before running the install to see if it would solve my disk error at 67%, but it didn't work. It's possible that it's my USB drive and not my SSD drive, but I don't know how to test for that. [03:58] Loneclock: i know there is an #ubuntu-games channel [03:58] tarandus: i could continue with this discussion but, if your looking to get to know linux more, but just don't know how to use it. Mac OS X is the best.. its built apon the unix platform [03:58] Smooch: i thought the same a while back [03:58] without installing on another system.. which I don't have the luxury of doing. [03:58] Smooch: much like canyourunit [03:59] tarandus, how much ram does your slow machine have? [03:59] ryaxnb: 1gb [03:59] if you have low ram, you have to swap and on an old disk that is slow [03:59] tarandus: i agree that ubuntu is gorgeous. The looks really grabbed me. [03:59] Ryan he has 1 gb [03:59] thats alright i suppose. [03:59] it should be fine. [03:59] does the latest version of ubuntu HAVE to be ext4? [03:59] he sais he meets the min specs - [03:59] for heavy use, 2GB is ideal. [03:59] yeah [03:59] afallenhope: I don't think so. [03:59] afallenhope, no. [03:59] afallenhope: you should be able to change the fs [03:59] you can install even on ext2 [04:00] it sounds like his drive is a slower drive maybe - generation older than 5200's [04:00] i havent checked, but is Reiser or XFS available? [04:00] id assume XFS is [04:00] do not know [04:00] I tryingto getit to chose my free 80GB but it says ext4 .. [04:00] i believe reiser3 is [04:00] do I manually have to repartition the tables? [04:00] Boy 2G to run Ubuntu - that sounds like a Windows 7 machine - 1g to run but 2 gig to be real [04:00] afallenhope: Do you want a full ubuntu install?, do you have any other oses on there? [04:00] my install of 8.04 seems to be freezing at generating locales [04:00] pickin up pizza, will be back [04:01] afallenhope: you need to use manual partitioning to use something other than ext4, yes [04:01] Smooch, I have Windows 7 64 Bit [04:01] afallenhope: Are you trying to create a dual boot? [04:01] Smooch, yes [04:01] Smooch, I've already resized my Windows Partition [04:01] I now have 80GB unallocated.. [04:01] afallenhope: Check out http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [04:02] Sb__: sudo apt-get install locales . Are you using an 8.04 image provided by a VPS or something? [04:02] afallenhope: Wait [04:02] Sb__: oh, freezing. hrm, never mind, it's usually missing completely on them. [04:02] i'm using the alternate install because it's an older machine and can't handle the live install [04:02] !dualboot [04:02] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:02] There :) [04:02] would it be easy to make a metapackage [04:03] afallenhope, is there a dropdown where you choose the filesystem [04:03] yeah,, I looked at that.. all the guides are confusing [04:03] afallenhope: What part don't you get? [04:03] prash, not if you only select "use the largest" [04:03] Sb__: are you sure it's freezing? Locale generation does tend to take a while on older computers. [04:04] rww - I was at about 6 hours [04:04] at 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. [04:04] hello [04:04] Afallen hope - you might want to try another drive to be safe and easy [04:04] is there a utility I can run from command line to check disk health? the filesystem check is grayed out in palimpsest disk utility. [04:04] if you have a spare [04:04] anyone? [04:04] afallenhope, then I guess manual partitioning first is the way to go. [04:04] afallenhope: How about use Wubu?, and then just regain the free space to windows? [04:04] Commands: How can I run a system file check in ubu? [04:04] *wubi [04:05] Smooch, because wubi degrades the performance from my undesrtanding [04:05] afallenhope: It does yes [04:05] sebsebseb: it's freezing during the installation itself? [04:05] that's not something I'm wanting.. [04:05] One second [04:05] what's the proper channel to ask about packages from the canonical DX team PPA? [04:05] sebsebseb: sorry, mistab [04:05] Sb__: It's freezing during the installation itself, or during updates or something later? [04:06] afallenhope: Step by step guide: http://apcmag.com/the_definitive_dualbooting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp_stepbystep.htm should be easy [04:06] rww - it's hanging at 1% at the "Configuring language-pack-en-base" stage [04:06] was at that point for 6 hours straight when I gave up [04:07] Im honestly about to format this fricken laptop if nobody has a clue how I can fix the dual screen issue. [04:07] Roasted: Whats the problem? [04:07] well no luck [04:07] at 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. [04:07] Smooch, ^ [04:07] thune3, no luck [04:08] Sb__: weird. Is it reproducible, or did it only happen the one time? [04:08] Once installed .. can I change the ex4 to ex3 without breaking the os? [04:08] afallenhope: Do that by partitioning manually [04:08] and choosing the ext3 file system [04:08] Smooch, look [04:08] 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) [04:09] rww - seems from what others have said it happens every time [04:09] afallenhope: ext4 with default options isn't backwards-compatible to ext3, no. If you want ext3, use manual partitioning [04:09] mikeds: 'Commands: How can I run a system file check in ubu?' Is that some kind of command? [04:10] afallenhope, If you prefer ext3, go fot it - manual partitioning [04:10] If you can, i'd suggest ext4 [04:11] Why ext4.. i've heard nothing but nightmare issues with it [04:11] hello everybody [04:11] afallenhope: I'v installed tons of installations of 10.04, and its worked great [04:11] Sb__: how much memory does it have? [04:11] afallenhope, contrary to what others have said, my ext4 has been working just fine [04:12] rww - over 200 megs i believe (it's been stored away a while so i forget the exact amount) [04:12] Smooch, and prash http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1133719 [04:13] 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=865679 [04:13] Sb__: Could possibly be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/202959 . Comment #13 has a workaround, but it's a little complicated. [04:14] afallenhope, 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] RJAMES: a command to check all the files and make sure nothing is wrong [04:14] like a sfc /scannow in windows [04:14] afallenhope, I am not saying ext4 is the best out there. Just saying I personally have not encountered any issues [04:15] prash, btfs? [04:15] prash, and hence the reason as to why I'm trying to stick with it [04:15] ext3 may be safer overall since its more established [04:15] afallenhope: Just do manual partitioning then?? [04:15] tertl3, with maverick [04:15] mikeds: oh .. you are asking, not telling. I think fsck will do it but I'm not sure. [04:15] rww - urgh, i'm afraid that's beyond my abilities [04:16] Smooch, the thing is.. hmm maybe you'll respond better to picture hold up I'll give you a picture.. [04:16] afallenhope, that's fine ext3 should be just fine. I have one of my karmic on ext3 and that is fine too. [04:16] its all good [04:16] i still use ntfs :) [04:16] FSCK warns of sever damage - either your messing with me or maybe it has to be unmounted somehow before running fsck [04:18] tertl3, 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] prash, http://imagebin.ca/view/KoaYUYt.html [04:18] tertl3, btrfs [04:18] Smooch, http://imagebin.ca/view/KoaYUYt.html [04:20] afallenhope, 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] sda is external, right? [04:20] Afllenhope: I am lost - have you already partitioned for ext3 and added a boot sector / [04:20] nvm. [04:20] Can anybody give me help getting bluetooth working between my laptop and a palm tungsten? [04:20] root I should say [04:21] mikeds, from his image, I do not see that [04:21] at 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] afallenhope: also that post is like 33 pages long and when you read the recent posts at the end they are all pretty positive re: ext4 [04:21] the tungsten isn't discovering my laptop, but I'm not certain that my laptop is discoverable. How do I check [04:22] afallenhope: How about, download virtualbox and create a test vm, then format that to the same as yours, and test it :) [04:22] Hi, 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] sigh.. didn't know i bothered you guys.. I'll leave everyone be sorry for wasting your time [04:22] Don't bother me [04:22] :P [04:23] Well like.. I know where you guys are coming from.. I'm just trying to understand is all [04:23] afallenhope, that's y we have this forum [04:23] afallenhope: "Use largest freespace" or whatever auto-partition things should create a / and a swap partition [04:23] afallenhope: You need to enter the ubuntu installer, and format that free unallocated space to ext3 [04:24] hey guys [04:24] i'm having serious troubles with my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS servers [04:24] Do you understand how to format using ext3? [04:24] Smooch, okay.. so after that.. have it install there? [04:24] I 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] they all have extremely weird time and clock issues [04:24] kokozedman: Visit #ubuntu-server channel [04:24] Smooch: ok thanks [04:24] kokozedman: What time and clock issues? [04:24] afallenhope: As always backup important data before installing something new [04:24] 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? [04:25] dennis: ##backtrack-linux [04:26] Smooch, so okay.. formatted it to ext3 now re-run the installer? [04:26] or one # [04:26] thanks prince [04:26] afallenhope, Format it IN the ubuntu installer [04:26] at 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. [04:27] ugh... dep hell... any ideas? http://pastebin.ca/1894786 [04:27] Roasted: reconfigure your xorg.conf not to list the second monitor [04:27] ... [04:27] Smooch, http://imagebin.ca/view/qzN5BI.html [04:28] kbrosnan, I didnt think intel's dual screen manager even to uched the xorg file?? [04:28] afallenhope: click change [04:28] Smooch, so it's a primary ext3 with mountpoint to / [04:29] Roasted: 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] afallenhope: I think so [04:29] kbrosnan, hm, the path for xorg is /etc/xorg.conf right? [04:29] will it auto-create swap? [04:29] er /etc/x11/xorg.conf [04:29] How do I find/set the bluetooth pin for pairing? [04:29] afallenhope, You need to create an extended first otherwise you run out of partitions for swap unless you do not want swap. [04:30] Roasted: yes [04:30] prash, so I do that using GParted? [04:30] afallenhope, my preference would be gparted [04:30] Roasted: /etc/X11/xorg.conf (note the capital 'X') [04:31] Jordan_U, yeahhhh I remember that. :P [04:32] Well I guess I could install as EXT4... erase the EXT4 make a new one to EXT3 and then install .. [04:32] kbrosnan, uh, I dont have a xorg.conf................ [04:33] afallen: have u already ruined the windows boot on this drive? if not maybe find an old drive for testing linux on [04:33] Roasted: That's normal, an xorg.conf is not needed by default. [04:33] Jordan_U, hm... [04:33] Jordan_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? [04:36] Roasted" do you have a hotkey or something that sends a signal to the vga out on your laptop that might be stuck on [04:36] Function F4 on my laptop does this [04:36] How do I set the pin on my bluetooth? [04:36] mikeds, 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 exist [04:36] mikeds, OH! you mean a pre-defined one. I thought you meant if I set one up myself [04:37] no thay have them - this is an older compaq with them [04:37] the F4 key has a little monitor logo on it [04:37] mikeds, 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] mikeds, it looks like ALT F8 is the key for my laptop [04:38] mikeds, gonna reboot till the weird screen thing happens again and test it [04:38] k - just grasping at straws here [04:38] anyone have ideas how to enable ipv6 via hurricane electric and route the /64 net ? [04:39] Has anyone had any luck in installing sbmanager on ubuntu 10.04? When I do a "./configure", I get a ./configure: line 12771: syntax error near unexpected token `0.35.0' [next line] ./configure: line 12771: `IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)'error. [04:39] Smooch, prash http://imagebin.ca/view/AYFFj5.html [04:39] Argh... 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] it said "type this PIN into the tungsten", the tungsten had a popup saying "enter the PIN for yourlaptop" [04:39] entered the PIN, the laptop said pairing failed. [04:40] afallenhope: That should work [04:40] afallenhope, how much is your RAM [04:40] prash, 3B.. [04:40] afallenhope, 3 bytes [04:40] GB**8 [04:40] lol. sorry [04:41] 3 or 8gb? [04:41] usually a swap only needs to be 1gig [04:41] RAM is 3GB********** [04:42] afallenhope, you should be ok then. My concern is hibernate.

[04:43] awesome ty prash [04:44] so once I hit APPLY [04:44] umm.. than I run the installer? [04:44] basicxman: And it's connected to the router?, can you access any site at all?

[04:44] All ubuntu ? [04:44] Smooch: Yes. [04:44] huh? I've applied 80GB to ubuntu [04:45] Smooch: It seems to think 192.168.1.110 is my gateway or something [04:45] basicxman: Is iptables enabled, or any firewall enabled on the others? [04:45] I'm amazed of how many connections firestarter blocks [04:45] I think when I was installing it I set my hostname to .110 [04:45] Smooch: ufw is enabled. [04:45] try disabling it, and then try the ping [04:45] re enable if it works [04:46] Smooch: When I ping a local address, here's what I get: http://pastebin.com/eBgmLeef [04:46] basicxman: type ifconfig, it should tell you your router ip [04:46] Smooch, prash i chose round cylinders is that okay? [04:47] for both [04:47] afallenhope, That is ok. Make sure root(/) goes into /dev/sda5 and swap into /dev/sda6. [04:47] anyone here running hardy on i686? if so, can you pastebin /usr/sbin/update-python-modules for me? [04:47] prash, i made the extended.. than root / and then swap.. not sure how it's going to light up though [04:47] applying changes [04:48] wish me luck.. [04:48] :) [04:48] Tried disabling ufw and still no luck. [04:48] Smooch: However, 192.168.1.110 isn't any used local address. [04:48] afallenhope, good luck [04:48] hey 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.JPG [04:48] did ufw disable? [04:48] try /etc/init.d/ufw status? or service ufw status? [04:49] is there a way i can make a new user and transfer all the files from my 1st user to my 2nd? [04:49] can anyone tell me what that icon means? it's kinda cryptic. i don't even know what the first one is. [04:50] afallenhope, In the "ready to install screen", click advanced and make sure /dev/sda is checked (NOT /dev/sda1 or any other partitions) [04:50] Smooch: 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] basicxman: Your not using a proxy? [04:51] Smooch: No. [04:51] Smooch: Can I edit the inet address of my eth0 interface? [04:51] basicxman: Are you using DHCP? [04:52] is there a way i can make a new user and transfer all the files from my 1st user to my 2nd? [04:52] Yes, however the router assigns this MAC a static IP of 192.168.1.149 [04:52] oh okay thanks [04:52] Niglop [04:53] yo [04:53] Smooch: I just edited /etc/network/interfaces and replaced all 192.168.1.110 with 192.168.1.1 and the Network: as 192.168.1.1 [04:53] Rebooting now to see if it works [04:53] yes Smooch [04:53] Niglop: Enter their home directory, and type cp * /home/newuserhomedir [04:53] basicxman: ok [04:53] thanks smooch :) [04:53] how do i make a new user [04:53] anyone?

What speed are you burning at?

[05:23] wizz: If you are trying to connect to a network, and / or, establish a connection to the internet, you need three things: 1) IP address that is correctly in the range of the LAN. 2) Default Route. 3) Nameserver addresses in /etc/resolv.conf [05:23] prash: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968194 [05:23] wizz: inet addr: [05:23] prash: this looks like a similar scenario like the one I am facing [05:24] prash: but I am not sure I do understand the solution that is highlighted under solved....

I hope someone else can chip in. In the meantime, are you able to read any other CD/DVD at all? [05:30] prash: 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 nx9010 [05:30] angelbaby, 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. [05:31] Vin73, logically, if there were no hardware changes between now and then, we should not be messing with the hardware. [05:31] Vin73, can you reapeat your question quicly for me? [05:31] is there a run script to just adding another panel? [05:32] prash: so, I am at a loss about where to go from this point onwards, where the reboot hangs....I am not sure how to proceed.... [05:32] How do I show hidden folders in my folder browser [05:32] mikeds: ls -la [05:32] CTRL H seems to do nothing [05:32] mikeds: View -> Show Hidden Files [05:32] Terry - in the file browser the gui [05:32] rww I tried that one too [05:32] mikeds: O [05:32] Vin73, repost your question so that abhi_nav can try to answer it. [05:33] mikeds: are you positive there are any dot-files in your present directory? :) [05:33] abhi_nav: I need some help with an error scenario that I run into, when I reboot after ubuntu installation... Here is a sample of the error that I get.... [05:33] prince_jammys: There always are. [05:33] terry: you mean '..' ? [05:33] abhi_nav: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 502936 [05:33] I dont see them O am trying to find my amarok files which are supposed to be in .kde ( ai am running ubuntu) [05:33] okay.. so Windows works.. just have to boot up in the right parition and not give myself a heart attack === gOLDfeesh is now known as afallenhope [05:33] prince_jammys: No I mean .hiden .files [05:34] terry: what do you mean "there always are"? [05:34] abhi_nav: I get the same error with two different CDs burnt on two different machines [05:34] Vin73, and ubuntu dont start? [05:34] abhi_nav: no the restart fails....and the system hangs [05:35] abhi_nav: but installation succeeds [05:35] prince_jammys: I mean there are hidden files in /home/prince_jammys [05:35] Vin73, you in laptop? enable sata. [05:35] is $home my basic username folder [05:35] terry: ah, but he may not be in /home/$USER. that's what i meant. [05:35] can I set windows to cover panels? [05:35] angelbaby, after audo hiding windows will cover them [05:35] auto* [05:36] how to change password of a user [05:36] abhi_nav: how can I do that? btw, I have SATA harddisk on my laptop if that is what you are referring to... [05:36] terry: was an obvious question, but hey. [05:36] one that im not logged into [05:36] thats the only way? [05:36] Vin73, go to bios and there is setting whether you want to enable sata support or not. set that setting to 'yes enable sata' [05:36] Niglop, you have admin rights? then you can go to users and groups and change it from there === bobbrown is now known as horus [05:36] ty [05:37] abhi_nav: ok...let me try that... [05:37] Vin73, ok [05:37] Vin73, which version of buntu? [05:37] prince_jammys: Yes, you will see hidden files in $HOME [05:37] need suggestions for using SMS from comp to mobile [05:37] prash did alfallenhope get it working? [05:38] prince_jammys: ls -a $HOME [05:38] Smooch, he did appear and disappear a few times. [05:38] terry: but not necessarily in subdirectories of $HOME. [05:38] prash: did it work then? [05:38] Smooch, dunno [05:38] prince_jammys: Yes you are correct. [05:38] prash k [05:38] my question was simply: are you sure that there are any dotfiles in your present dir? [05:38] lol [05:39] Vin73, i come back in 2 min. [05:39] ABHI_NAV: latest version....btw how can I enable sata from bios, I am unable to find a related entry...ok, I'll wait [05:39] abhi_nav: latest version....btw how can I enable sata from bios, I am unable to find a related entry...ok, I'll wait [05:39] Vin73, which laptop ? [05:40] abh_nav: compaq nx91010 [05:40] Vin73, in the bios setting under somewhere hdd or like that you explore each and every option there it should be. enable sata === horus is now known as hopper [05:41] abhi_nav: ok, let me see... [05:41] Vin73, hmm === hopper is now known as pension [05:42] prince_jammys: BTW, if you want to show ONLY hidden files you can do: ls -a|grep "^\." [05:42] abhi_nav: no I don't see a setting related to hdd here... [05:42] Vin73, in BIOS? how you go to bios while you are online? you know bios? [05:43] 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? [05:43] (at hardy now) [05:43] Vin73, you have to restart your pc. then press some button may be esc, f10 etc different for each laptop. then blue screen with options appears that is BIOS [05:43] abhi_nav: apparently I do...I can go to bios by using f2 at boot up [05:43] Vin73, yes [05:44] Vin73, you are not on the same pc where you have problem? [05:44] tonsofpcs: Why not just install the version you want in the firt place. But you should be able to just upgrade from where you are. Right? [05:44] Vin73, did you try to remove your disk just before reboot? [05:45] abhi_nav: no I am on a different windows desktop...but the laptop is very nearby so I can try out things in no time [05:45] prash: yes I did [05:45] Vin73, I see [05:45] terry: this is an existing system [05:45] tonsofpcs: Ok, so, what are you trying to do? [05:45] i just got out of dep-hell [05:45] how do i send SMS or text messages from my comp to my cell phones? [05:46] in hardy. [05:46] i want a working system again [05:46] Vin73, did you also try hitting enter key a few times? [05:46] tonsofpcs: Try complete sentences and keep all of the conversation on one line. [05:46] Vin73, these are just shots in the dark [05:46] I'm sorry, I tried that to start with and some users of the channel couldn't follow. [05:46] I temporally separated parts of the statement so that they could more easily follow. [05:46] abhi_nav: I am afraid there is no option related to hdd that I can see in my bios....I just went inot the hard disk settings and had a look [05:47] prash: yes I tried all that [05:47] Vin73, anything written as SATA Or IDE? [05:47] tonsofpcs: What is your situation? Can you just do updates now? If not, why not? [05:48] abhi_nav: There is a Type field at the top which is set to Auto [05:48] I just got out of dep-hell. I'm on hardy, I am 'upgrading' all still-installed packages to latest. To get out of dep-hell, I had to remove X and gnome and gtk and gdm. [05:48] Vin73: Try the Advanced CMOS settings [05:49] Vin73: It might be there [05:49] Welldone: just a minute...let me see [05:49] Vin73, there under ' Advanced ' tab there is two options onboard pata/sata adapters and onboard pata/sata configuratios try if you can set them both to sata [05:49] tonsofpcs: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:50] mneptok: did you read my question at all? [05:50] WellDone: Under Advanced menu, I can see External Poiniting Device, Legacy USB support and Print Port Mode [05:51] trust me, i know the apt commands [05:51] I just spent 2.5 hours fixing apt. [05:51] tonsofpcs: yes, you removed requisite elements of ubuntu-desktop. reinstalling it will pull in all its dependencies like X, gdm and gnome [05:51] this 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 TxPower [05:51] abhi_nav: Under Advanced menu, I can see External Poiniting Device, Legacy USB support and Print Port Mode [05:51] >> 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] tonsofpcs: and that's exactly what i answered. [05:51] abhi_nav, WellDone: that's all....nothing else [05:51] no it isn't [05:52] yes, it is. [05:52] Vin73, there are this options also there onboard pata/sata adapters [05:52] you first assumed i wanted ubuntu-desktop [05:52] Vin73, :( [05:52] you also assumed my repo cache was out of date [05:52] abhi_nav: looks like this enabling option is not provided in my bios [05:52] tonsofpcs: You can probably do: apt-get install xorg [05:52] tonsofpcs: the "all that" line and saying "i want a working system" sort of implies you want Ubuntu back the way it ships. [05:52] then you told me to upgrade all my packages which I just noted that I am doing now [05:53] tonsofpcs: or sudo aptitude install xorg [05:53] anyoine ever tried installing ubuntu on a UMPC? [05:53] Vin73, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/539027 - not sure if it is related. [05:53] Vin73, ok . then might me another issue. dont know. ok if your laptop in warranty then call center wll tell you how to do this [05:53] prash: ok let me have a look [05:53] mneptok: right, and this shipped with ubuntustudio-desktop not ubuntu-desktop :) [05:53] [yes, this was installed with the ubuntustudio feisty CD] [05:54] looking to buy one not sure what to invest in [05:54] tonsofpcs: well, do i need to edit the line i gave you or are you clever enough to figure it out yourself? [05:54] abhi_nav: no luck there as well....this is an old laptop which I am using as part of my research...it belongs to the institution [05:54] mneptok: I'm looking for a direct answer to the question I asked, not someone to try interpreting it as something completely unrelated [05:54] tonsofpcs: so seek advice elsewhere. i'm done. [05:54] Vin73, ohh. then dont know. you search for bug if it is an bug or what. [05:55] tonsofpcs: you are clearly too smart for this channel to help you. [05:55] also, if i'm installing then distupgrading, i'm making it work before i distupgrade otherwise i'm looking at more dephell [05:55] bastidrazor: apparently [05:55] tonsofpcs, what is the question [05:55] 8 ball says : answer hazy [05:55] >> 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] tonsofpcs, didi it ship with rt kernel? [05:55] tertl3: yes. [05:56] tonsofpcs, you dont like the studio additions? [05:56] it is running -rt right now, it also has -generic and one other variant installed [05:56] abhi_nav: I am not sure how to proceed now...I had banked on getting a solution from this channel...I had assumed that someone would have faced this before [05:56] tonsofpcs: BTW. Ubuntu Studio is not an official Ubuntu derivative, so we do not support it here. [05:56] tonsofpcs, do you play guitar? [05:56] Ive always heard to reinstall 'whatever-desktop' befor doing the dist upgrades. [05:56] warace: there may be a better way but: assuming device is wlan0 "iwlist wlan0 txpower" will show you available powers and "iwconfig wlan0 txpower " should apply changes. [05:56] abhi_nav: as you can see, I am relatively new to Ubuntu [05:56] mneptok: actually, ubuntustudio was added to the official repos in hardy. [05:56] Vin73, you get more info in bug reporting [05:56] tonsofpcs, try #opensourcemusicians [05:57] tertl3: i'm fine with #video , thanks. [05:57] Vin73, do you have any older ubuntu distros that you could try? [05:57] abhi_nav: are you suggesting that I should raise a bug? [05:57] theok [05:57] "open source musicians", what a strange concept. [05:57] Vin73, first search for bugs. if not found then submit a bug [05:57] you use it for video? [05:58] prince_jammys, i agree, the two things are unrelated [05:58] prash: I do not have...but if I can download the previous or one of the previous versions....I could try with that [05:58] abhi_nav: ok [05:58] * prince_jammys starts #open-source-pastry-chefs [05:58] Vin73, does the laptop support usb booting? [05:58] nonetheless there are people who fit both categories [05:58] tertl3: I use it to test video apps [05:58] cool [05:58] tonsofpcs, what is the question? [05:58] and test ubuntu's broken shipped package of VLC.... [05:58] Vin73, also try updating your bios software. hp proviedes it update [05:58] when using gnome, can anyone suggest a good tiling wm replacement for metacity? [05:58] >> 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? [05:59] prash: no [05:59] I'm using awesome at the moment, but I keep having weird systray issues [05:59] prash: only CD ROM [05:59] what is dep-hell? [05:59] dependency hell [05:59] abhi_nav: ok... [05:59] tonsofpcs: why do you have to reinstall that stuff at all? [05:59] tonsofpcs, I am not familiar with that package [05:59] when 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/uninstall [05:59] (you can't do anything else until they're fixed) [05:59] how to install thunderbir? i dwonloaed .tar.gz and extracted it now what next? [06:00] prince_jammys: dep-hell. [06:00] abhi_nav: sudo apt-get install thunderbird [06:00] abhi_nav: install it from the repositories, using apt. [06:00] tonsofpcs, ubuntu doesnt really have that problem [06:00] mnemon, prince_jammys i downloaded latest version. is latest 3.1 available in apt-get? [06:00] I would reinstall the apps, then do the dist-upgrade - thats how ive heard its supposed to be done. [06:00] fedora is another story :) [06:00] tertl3: tell that to my machine here :) [06:00] Vin73, I'd say try karmic. good luck with it. [06:01] abhi_nav: if you build your own, you should follow whatever directions they provide. [06:01] apt crashed on isntalling a python package about a year and a half ago, i haven't used the system since then due to the issues [06:01] tonsofpcs, it could be the studio ppa [06:01] prince_jammys, i dotn build. i just downloaded. tar.gz now i dont now what to do next [06:01] abhi_nav: consider installing it from repositories before you venture into this. [06:01] can i check if a software i want to instal which version of it is available with apt-get? [06:01] yes [06:01] prince_jammys, i want latest [06:02] tertl3: no, it was a standard package that crashed during install due to a server update coincidental with the install [06:02] abhi_nav: apt-cache policy packagenamehere [06:02] rww, ok [06:02] tonsofpcs, idk [06:02] (or a cron job interfering, it's really not clear) [06:02] anyway, that's fixed now [06:02] tonsofpcs, give it a few days and then google it [06:02] tertl3: it happened a year and a half ago. [06:03] Are HDMI/DVI-D cables bidirectional? That is, if I have a cable that was used to take DVI output from a computer to send to an HDMI-capable monitor, can I use the same cable to connect a Beagleboard to a DVI screen?

[06:04] m back!!! ;) [06:04] sigh [06:04] Vin73, just the previous one (9.10) [06:04] Vin73, previous release of ubuntu. lucid is latest [06:04] abhi_nav, prash: thanks.... [06:04] Let's say I'm running ubuntu on my Beagleboard, and I'd like to get its output showing on a DVI-capable monitor... [06:05] !ot | smooch [06:05] Smooch, please see my private message [06:05] Vin73, sorry couldn't be of much help [06:06] prash: that's OK....I guess nobody has faced this issue before....thanks for your time [06:06] abhi_nav: thanks for your time [06:06] oh yah Vin73 :) [06:07] well the crapy alfa card said it would do 1000mw and it wont let me set more the 501mw heh [06:08] feel shammed now [06:10] has anybody been able to enable multi touch gestures on an Alps Touchpad? [06:10] warace: 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. [06:12] hmmm 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 far [06:14] recieving now but the card works better in windows with the driver the factory provided [06:15] warace: maybe also play with the iwconfig "sens" variable, change channels, and consider setting frag to 512. [06:16] tried all channels on router he is on the cleanest one [06:16] hmm i am guessing sens is for sensitivity [06:17] hey is there a way of stopping this blinking wifi thing.. [06:18] afallenhope, is that a dell. BTW did dual boot work? [06:18] warace: reading up on it i'm not sure 'sens' really does anything anymore [06:19] afallenhope, blinking 'wifi'? [06:19] thune3 thanks [06:19] afallenhope: did it install? [06:19] prash, worked beautifully! helps when you try and boot into Windows and not the recovery ram drive.. and abhi_nav yes prash it's a HP dv7 [06:20] hey how do i enable shmconfig? [06:20] I think I will buy a higher dBi antena [06:20] warace: if you are just surfing and stuff, wireless-b band tends to have better range (11M and less in rate setting) [06:20] afallenhope, it blinks when there is data transmission. nothing odd in it [06:21] Pondera: were you told you needed to do that to configure your touchpad? [06:21] abhi_nav, yeah but it's kinda annoying [06:21] #python [06:21] afallenhope, i like that ;) [06:21] abhi_nav, that's great but it should have an option to disable [06:21] hmmmm just moved the antena and the strength went up quite a bit [06:21] afallenhope, hmm [06:21] no here but i figued thats why multi touch wasnt working random832 [06:22] hello can anybody help me out here in google authentication [06:22] thune3 I guess this will do good enough heh [06:22] hello can anybody help me out here in google authentication?

[06:25] Is there a good GUI client to download stuff from git? [06:25] can't access my yahoo and facebook accounts from my workplace, how can I resolve this problem? [06:25] at 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. [06:25] Pondera: what are you trying to do? [06:25] hello, who update compiz to 0.9 on ubuntu 10.04? [06:25] raddy, what is git? [06:26] prash, didn't work [06:26] abhi_nav: Do you know what is svn? [06:26] ikonia : u there?

[06:27] Anyone have experience using a tiling wm with gnome? I'm trying awesome but I'm having issues with getting my systray to work properly [06:27] ok [06:27] Dr_Willis, haha, I have open-ssh on my home pc, what to do next?

[06:30] oh no sorry afallenhope i want to answer user1_ [06:30] user1_, try partitioning from live cd? [06:31] Roasted: I guess the Function key was not the issue? [06:31] Dr_Willis: not found :( [06:31] user1_: could be hardware related. Is this a USB flash drive or a usb hard drive? [06:31] afallenhope, and for yor blinking led i dont know solution but i know that it will not burn your led. [06:32] mikeds, well sometimes I boot and its 1 screen, but not the right resolution. that key doesnt fix the resolution on the fly. :( [06:32] Hello, i'm new using ubuntu, i installed it yesterday but, i think i have a bug....could someone help me? [06:32] 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 again [06:32] baltazor: i got a hit when i googled for 'compiz ppa' [06:32] Roasted: did U try sys-->pref-->monitors [06:32] Dr_Willis: it is a kingston 256gb usb drive [06:32] afroman, yes. But when I reboot, sometimes it doesnt hold the settings. [06:32] Sometimes it does, other times it doesnt. [06:32] afallenhope: just stick a bit of tape over it... [06:33] user1_, in last month when i do very same thung as u gparted destroyed my pen drive. now it cant be detected [06:33] Roasted: it should hold the settings [06:33] hi i want to know if ubuntu netbook work with the wireless card Atheros AR5007EG chipset AR2425 without wifimad or ndiswrapper [06:33] user1_: 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] user1_, mine also same lucid [06:33] afroman, it does not. Most of the time it does, but I sat here and rebooted 5 times and bingo - didnt hold the settings [06:33] Roasted: did U press apply? [06:33] afroman, came back with 1024x768 resolution when native is 1280x800 [06:33] afroman, of course. :P [06:33] afroman, I hit apply and just kept rebooting [06:34] user1_: unless you are meaning its a 256gb FLASH drive? thats a big big. :) [06:34] it was fine.b ut then one time it came back with 1024x768. Had no idea why. [06:34] i have a problem with the go-home-applet [06:34] its been doing this... not sure how to fix it. [06:34] Dr_Willis: its a flash drive. not a enclosure [06:34] it 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] yet it STILL happens. even tho I formatted root. [06:34] Roasted: coz I know that just by going to pref-->monitors the settings usual adjust themselves automatically [06:34] no idea why [06:34] Dr_Willis: that's the problem. but it's detected and everything is fine. the OS is not supporting it if i am not wrong [06:34] user1_: i dident even realize they made them 256 GB in size.. [06:34] ok 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 ? [06:35] user1_: thats possible.. but ive never seen/tried any that large. [06:35] afroman, 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. === Rez is now known as LoRez [06:35] hi i want to know if ubuntu netbook work with the wireless card Atheros AR5007EG chipset AR2425 without wifimad or ndiswrapper [06:35] Dr_Willis: the directory size is 16kb and not normal 4kb [06:35] user1_: try making a small partition at the front. try some 'other' os to partition it perhaps? [06:35] afroman, BUT, sometimes it gives me 1024x768 resolution when I use 1280x800. [06:35] ? [06:35] is an aspire one [06:35] afroman, that doesnt fix instantly. I have to re-set that. [06:35] afroman, then of course it screws up my arrangement of things in the upper right corner of the panel. [06:35] afroman, total pain... and shouldnt be that way... just trying to figure out if theres a fix. [06:36] devzero: most parts in netbooks are decently well supported. - whats the specific # of aspire one? theres several out now. [06:36] Roasted: did U try to fix it throu xorg? [06:36] devzero: for my Older AAO. it works out of the box. [06:36] 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 empty [06:36] is there a way to change the step duration of Particle emission? [06:36] and old AOA110 [06:36] (2.49a) [06:36] afroman, I dont have a xorg.conf. [06:36] afroman, I was told I didnt need a xorg.conf and the fact I dont have one means xorg.conf isnt the issue. [06:37] devzero: 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 edition [06:37] ok 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] Roasted: which one do U have? [06:37] i really need help here, could someone help me? [06:37] afroman, which what? graphics card? An intel. [06:37] !ask | ilhuicamina [06:37] ilhuicamina: 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] if it's not xorg, which do U use instead? [06:38] afroman, 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. [06:39] so, 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? [06:40] devzero: i alwyas plug in a cable. :) [06:40] oh, 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 home [06:40] Roasted: try in a terminal "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and tell me what U see [06:40] i havent [06:40] devzero: i havbe 1 laptop out of 4 that ive had to use a cable to get the drivers. [06:40] afroman, I did that earlier - its blank === joel is now known as Guest15822 [06:40] afroman, I CD'd into /etc/X11 and xorg.conf didnt exist. [06:40] devzero: if not . then theres a little bit of work involved. [06:40] I'm telling you - I do not have a xorg file. I just don't. [06:40] devzero: i found it easier to find a cable/connection. [06:41] jajaja [06:41] devzero: but with my AAO's ive never had to do that [06:41] but if i add on a usb pen, the drivers and midwifi [06:41] i'm looking for an online ticketing system that handles some sort of workflow (osticket does not), any ideas? [06:41] but i have problems for compile it [06:42] to install the headers and others... [06:42] devzero: 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 compiling [06:43] no no no for the drivers to compile the wifimad app to install driver [06:44] ok 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] devzero: 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] fspot? [06:44] ok [06:45] Roasted: xorg isn't a driver [06:45] if didnt work i come back here [06:45] xD [06:45] afroman, I know. [06:45] afroman, but its not like my desktop where I have an nvidia driver to install via hardware drivers. [06:45] afroman, I did not install a driver, and I do not have a xorg file. period. [06:45] Pondera, fspot? [06:45] Roasted: I got that [06:46] f spot has a table top like feature abhi_nav [06:46] but U also need to understand that if U don't have xorg U must have another otherwise U would have an image [06:46] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System [06:47] there are several types of X window system [06:47] Pondera, dunno. but it is nice software! [06:47] Pondera, check their features [06:51] Roasted: I did say I wasn't an expert, if U had xorg I could help U more but now... [06:51] sorry [06:51] afroman, 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] afroman, 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. [06:52] Roasted: 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 not [06:52] which parition table should i create in my usb flash drive. if i install msdos it will recognize only fat32 filesystem [06:52] so whether you have it or not, neither's 'wrong' [06:54] user1_: basically thats the only partition table ive ever used. [06:54] user1_: you may be able to use a differnt filesystem if you use fdisk instead of gparted (if thats what yiou are using) [06:54] shauno: so now how should Roasted proceed? [06:55] yeah. it gets very old having to "reset" everything after a fresh reboot [06:55] doesnt happen every time, but enough to make me go wtf? [06:55] what do you people think of Linux Mint? [06:55] I like linux mint, but its so close to ubuntu, I have no idea why it really exists. [06:55] however, theres a channel for mint discussion. [06:55] whatis it [06:56] its a distro based on ubuntu [06:56] 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] !mint > SailorReality [06:56] afroman: (and Roasted,) if autodetect isn't doing what you want, it's probably time to switch to using an xorg.conf [06:56] SailorReality, please see my private message [06:56] i just installed it becuase my screen kept on fucking up in ubuntu i hope it doesnt happen [06:56] shauno, how can I generate a xorg file [06:56] SailorReality, take that to mint channel [06:56] !language > SailorReality [06:56] k thanks [06:56] G rated here man :P [06:57] been banned several times for letting it slip [06:57] lol [06:57] Roasted: 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 somewhere [06:58] shauno: speaking of xorg, U wouldn't happen to know how to enable multi touch gesture on an alps touchpad? [06:58] Roasted: apparently xorg takes a -configure option that'll spit on out based on what it's autodetected so far [06:59] afroman: no idea. use linux on servers, not laptops, sorry === karthik is now known as Guest15049 [07:01] shauno: cool. thx anyway === Guest15049 is now known as karthee [07:03] hello, how to change mac for ever? :) [07:04] lol [07:04] I googled and found the command to start a new xorg file [07:04] evidently a server is already active [07:04] too bad a xorg file doesnt exist [07:05] you may use X -configure for this [07:06] ah wait [07:06] I found another guide that says I needed to CTRL ALT F1 at login screen, stop GDM, then run the command [07:06] I ran it just in regular mode and got the error === ChSR[wrk] is now known as ChEaSeR [07:07] yeahhh I got a xorg.conf now. gonna reboot like 10 times and see what happens :P [07:07] good luck [07:08] NOOOOOOO [07:08] #ubuntu-it [07:08] I rebooted ONE time and my resolution showed up borked [07:08] Wow [07:09] Come on, Ubuntu. Fricken work. [07:09] delfis: you have to put some command to set the mac in some startup file i imagine. You dont reflash the network card to change the mac. [07:09] Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:09] hmm [07:09] networs file or something [07:09] as i remember was good [07:09] delfis: you're not doing something evil, are you? [07:09] choice for me [07:09] no, my network needs specific mac [07:10] ah [07:11] theres some of the various if??? commands that can set teh mac. [07:12] but ive not had to do that in years [07:12] however, 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] Or 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] however, 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 EXIST [07:12] Roasted: what was the chipset anyway? [07:13] an intel. sec. logging in [07:13] Ill lspci it [07:13] pretty sure its a GMA4500 I think?? [07:13] Ah intel. Hmm. This is a laptop? or a desktop with 2 video cards? [07:13] when 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] laptop [07:14] Roasted: 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] Dr_Willis, Ill keep that in mind. Hopefully its all I have to do. [07:15] hi, can someone tell me where can I find instructions on the old version of grub for Ubuntu (grub legacy) [07:15] Dr_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] !grub | Vin73 [07:15] Vin73: 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] Roasted: 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 working [07:15] Roasted: ages ago I had a Video card default to the TV out... [07:15] Dr_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] Vin73: if you still have it installed, you may also consult the manual for details. [07:16] Dr_Willis, so it was just a PITA to reset everything because my laptop didnt find the right resolution. ya know? [07:16] Dr_Willis, but since creating the xorg file, when I ALT F8, it finds the placement of icons just fine - which is weird... [07:16] gnome is annoying in how it likes to rearange things [07:17] ive gotten where i remove most things from my panels. :) and dont use docks much either [07:17] I dont have a problem with gnome re-arranging it, per se. It only happens when the resolution si borked. [07:17] It resets them based on the new resolution. [07:17] so I reset it and it screws up. [07:18] that is gnome rearangeing them. :) then not rearangeing them back [07:18] I was suprised at how well my Netbook handled an external monitor. [07:18] Dr_Willis, it rearranges fine w/ xorg being existent, though [07:19] Dr_Willis, I hope what you said is the same in my case [07:19] again. 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] where hitting the key combo 1 time "sets in stone" that setting to my laptop [07:19] Dr_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] Roasted: i think it very much deopends on the chipset. Ive seen them default to internal, external, and in one case. tv out. :) [07:20] Dr_Willis, but in each instance, once you "set" it, did it default to that setting? [07:20] Roasted: theres been a dozen people in here we have had to 'explain' those keys to - over the years. :) [07:20] Roasted: it seemed to rember. [07:20] this is with 4+ different pc's and laptops. :) [07:20] Roasted: on an nvidia desktop system. it VERY mich depends on the exact chipset/video card. [07:22] Dr_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] so I bounce through monitors now and then at work, whereas at home I have the same old 2 monitors connected since day 1 [07:22] Dr_Willis, those FN key combos are saved @ BIOS level, right? [07:24] Yesterday, 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? [07:25] oh no [07:25] Dr_Willis [07:25] user1_: did you want me [07:26] just booted up, login screen isnt there. must be on "2nd montitor" [07:26] ikonia: yes. same problem [07:26] user1_: same problem ?? what problem [07:26] ikonia: even after creating usb partition [07:26] ikonia: 256gb usb flash drive [07:26] user1_: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l " [07:26] I hit ALT F8 twice, it fixed it, and I logged in - but of COURSE I have 1024x768 resolution [07:27] come the fk on ubuntu [07:27] work. please. just work. [07:27] Roasted: control your langauge [07:27] lol [07:27] I'm not laughing [07:27] :) [07:27] how do i autohide docky 2.1.0 in karmic? [07:27] sorry if this is the wrong channel for this [07:28] Dr_Willis, any idea? [07:28] :/ [07:29] student, right click on docky icon there is option? [07:29] happy 4th everyone! [07:29] right click = settings [07:29] hmm [07:29] docky settings @ abhi-nav [07:30] oh [07:30] i see it ! [07:30] !_! [07:30] !tab > student_ [07:30] it says hiding = none [07:30] student_, please see my private message [07:30] !fr [07:30] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [07:30] probably not the best time to ask this, does anyone know how to make hard drives automatically mount at start up? [07:31] Roasted: not really. after i got the display working. it worked right after i rebooted then [07:31] i've eaten my own boogars, cum, scabs, tasted my own poop and piss too... [07:31] thanks i overlooked the hiding feature [07:31] Tibman: Put a line in /etc/fstab [07:31] since it wasn't a check off type thing [07:31] student_ ok [07:31] lol [07:31] the 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 :) [07:32] tasslehoff: then use it. [07:32] !64 [07:32] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [07:32] !es [07:32] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [07:32] i have been using ubuntu for 2 days, how do I do that? [07:32] Dr_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] thats what bohters me [07:32] tasslehoff: theres been bug reportsd files to try tio get that page changed [07:33] Dr_Willis, good :) [07:33] thanks [07:33] tasslehoff: I use it every day. [07:33] tasslehoff: 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 use [07:33] vlt, and you are happy? :) [07:34] tasslehoff: There's nothing that doesn't work (that would on x86). [07:34] I use 64 lucid. I face no problem. not even of any aps. flash wors good too. [07:34] I can think of ONE appliction that ive used thats not ported to 64bit. :) [07:34] vlt, i thought no current version of flash 10.1 was available for x64 [07:34] which one? [07:35] Thanks guys. I will go with 64 bit then. [07:35] abhi_nav: zsnes - :) but theres other snes emulators that are [07:35] Dr_Willis, ohh ok [07:35] tasslehoff: 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] abhi_nav: aparently it was written years back with large parts of assembly code. :) [07:35] Tibman, its just closed temporaily they will release official 64 flashs sooon [07:35] Dr_Willis, hmm [07:35] Tibman: flash isn't available at all (it's closed source and binary only) [07:36] mneptok: 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] nice application!! ;) [07:36] mneptok: unless thers been changes in the last 2 weeks that ive not see [07:36] abhi_nav: Adobe has not released any details about firther Flash x86-64 development, so saying "soon" has no basis in fact [07:36] *further [07:37] mnemon, they have used that work on that web site. I read it [07:37] word* [07:37] abhi_nav: so it should be no trouble for you to provide a URL [07:37] I have only been using ubuntu for 2 days so can anyone explain how to make hard drives automatically mount at start up? [07:37] !fstab | Tibman [07:37] Tibman: 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 !Partitions [07:38] tim__b: 2what filesystem is the hard drive in question? [07:38] Tibman: 2what filesystem is the hard drive in question? [07:38] Tibman: Look at an example line in /etc/fstab. For the 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] Tibman: technically you mount 'filesystems' not drives. :) [07:38] DR willis: my filesystem is ext3 and the other ntsf [07:38] how do i delete a user? [07:39] mnemon, 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 url [07:39] Niglop, again from users and group only [07:39] why thank you dr for clearing that up [07:39] kk ty ;p u still remember :p [07:39] abhi_nav: i don't doubt that. but tell me where you get the concept of "soon" [07:39] abhi_nav: they could release the x86-64 version in 15 years and what you quoted will still be true [07:40] Tibman: 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 options [07:40] mneptok, 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 ok [07:40] Tibman: learning how linux handles filesysmtes/fstab and how ntfs differs.. is worth learning about. :) [07:40] i dont see any problem in 1ysr 'soon' [07:41] abhi_nav: you do not know that. so please don't say "soon" when the developer has not said "soon" [07:41] Tibman: I prefer using LABEL=... entries because they can be self-descriptive and device names could change when replacing disks or other hardware [07:41] mnemon, then? what should I say? leave 64 os because there is no 64 bit flash? [07:41] Tibman: 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] mnemon, its common sense. i have that guess from reading their web site. i am trying to find it [07:41] abhi_nav: say exactly what you put in quotes above. [07:41] ok [07:42] * Dr_Willis waits for flash to to the way of java. [07:42] Dr. Willis, thank you for the pointers. I will read some tutorials. [07:42] Dr_Willis: Orcale is not going to buy Adobe ;) [07:42] *Oracle [07:42] good night everyone [07:43] Tibman: No, you can mix LABEL entries and device entries in fstab (other than Dr_Willis said) [07:43] why have i got to be root to remove stuff from my external device? [07:43] lol [07:43] Niglop: Depends on the permissions [07:43] join #aros [07:43] mneptok: give it a year.. and we will see.. soon we will all be using 'realplayer' again i bet! :) [07:43] Niglop, you can change permission and give authority to your standard account to act as admina account [07:43] i made a new user and copied the exact same home directory over and one is 5g and the other is 12g :s? [07:44] Niglop: How did you copy it? [07:44] mneptok, 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 1yr [07:44] through the folders [07:44] Dr_Willis: Real Networks was the only job interview i actually walked out of. [07:45] abhi_nav: one last time. Adobe *never* gave a time frame. ever. your "one year" assertion is all in your head. [07:45] Niglop: There are many folders that might be invisible in file browsers. I'd prefer rsync for this taks [07:45] abhi_nav: it says i have all privilages, but its not in the group "root" is that why? [07:45] *task [07:45] mnemon, yes in my head [07:45] vlt what files example please [07:45] i might not need them [07:45] abhi_nav: go look at the Wikipedia entry for Duke Nukem Forever [07:46] Niglop, 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 that [07:46] Niglop: In *nix systems file names starting with "." are hidden (if you not explicitely tell your "ls" command to show them) [07:46] third tab is user privilages [07:47] vlt i know but what files ? [07:47] Niglop: I don't understand your question. [07:47] mnemon, 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] ??????? [07:48] vlt what type of files are the "invisible" ones? [07:48] abhi_nav: the third tab is user privilages [07:48] Niglop: Those beginning with a dot [07:48] i know they are hidden.. [07:48] but are they important? [07:48] Niglop, yes there only select second option 'administrator the system' [07:48] abhi_nav: its already checked [07:48] Niglop, :( [07:49] Niglop: Depends on your setup. Programs usually store their whole config in such directories [07:49] mneptok, , 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] ;) [07:49] * Dr_Willis goes back to CP/M [07:49] Niglop: .kde for example or .gnome ... [07:49] its okay, i made new config files [07:49] #ubuntu-it [07:49] ivano, /j #ubuntu-it [07:49] yes thats why i made a new user :p i wanted to start gnome from fresh [07:49] but thanks [07:50] abhi_nav: one last time. say what you said in quotes above. nothing more. [07:50] mnemon, :( [07:50] Niglop: I've seen programs like kooka storing all scanned images in a hidden directory ... [07:50] i dont know what kooka is lol [07:50] i dont scan [07:50] abhi_nav: how can i fix it :p? [07:51] Niglop, what? i was not here? what was the issue? [07:51] admin thing is already checked [07:52] Niglop, 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. [07:53] what does LVDS stand for? [07:53] i 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? [07:55] Niglop, add it to admin group. actualy I am in now my standars account so cant give you exact details. [07:55] Vin73: not sure the exact letters, but it's a signalling system most commonly used for LCDs [07:56] ikonia : are you here> [07:56] kk ty abh [07:56] user1_: yes [07:56] can someone tell me how to disable kms at boot time? [07:56] ikonia: how do you look at the usb problem? [07:57] user1_: as I explained to you in pm, I don't wish to help at this time [07:57] but I can say it in the channel if that helps. "I don't wish to help at this time" [07:57] ikonia: which time is suitable for helping community members [07:58] user1_: there are plenty of people in the channel who may be available to help [07:58] ikonia: everyone failed . you seem to have some ideas [07:58] user1_, address the channel, don't target individuals [07:59] bazhang: ok [08:00] hello? [08:01] what is kms Vin73 ? [08:02] hey [08:02] !hi | Langdon666 [08:02] Langdon666: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

I am only able to view the inbox for one account. [08:13] i am unable to retain the data on usb flash drive on remounting it. it is around 256gb . have tried partitioning it as primary, extended and all sizes. but there is some problem which is happening even though used space is shown to be the size of object copied [08:14] user1_: just as a 'test' you have tried teh same drive on a windows machine? [08:15] Dr_Willis: on xp yes. not on vista or windows 7. but shouldnt lucid be far better than them? [08:15] user1_: no idea. Its a test as i said. [08:16] user1_: this is a 256GB USB flash drive right? [08:16] Dr_Willis:yes [08:16] so you were able to make a 256gb NTFS partition on it in XP? that seemed to work? [08:17] Dr_Willis: no it doesn't retain data there either [08:17] user1_: so under XP it also fails to work. [08:17] Dr_Willis:yes [08:18] Track down a Vista/Win7 box and see if it also fails for them. Its sound more and more like some odd hardware issue to me. [08:18] how do i record video with recordMyDesktop without audio? [08:18] user1_: so has this thing worked on ANY os in any way? [08:19] user1_, just out of curiosity what make is this drive? [08:19] prash: kingston data traveller [08:19] I'm trying to make the 64bit plugin work in firefox [08:19] prash: firmware version 3.0 [08:19] user1_, did you google and see if anyone else has this issue? [08:19] it isn't. however, the 32bit one works just fine [08:20] user1_, also, did you update the firmware from their website (if applicable)? [08:20] prash: update firmware ! how? [08:20] ive never even heard of flashing firmware for a usb flash thumbdrive [08:20] does lucid have any packs? [08:22] user1_, sorry missed the flash drive part. Thought it to be the USB HDD [08:22] prash: yea. ive never seen a 256GB USB flash drive either. :) that would be high $$$ [08:23] Dr_Willis, I am still in the 16GB, 32GB flash age . lol. [08:23] prash: yep. Im waiting for 16gb's to get reasonable [08:24] I added my msn contact list to empathy, im online [08:24] but how do i bring up the contact list? [08:26] In gnome you can switch user. Then you end up back at the login screen and the account you are coming from remains logged in. I want to do the same thing from the command line. Is that possible? [08:26] hey guys, i uninstalled gdm on my ubuntu 10.04 partition, now i cant boot, im on liveUSB at the moment is there away i can chroot and reinstall it? [08:27] noobuser: why can't you boot it - what's theerror [08:27] the "error" [08:28] noobuser: Yes, just mounting your Ubuntu partition, chrooting into it, and "apt-get install gdm" should work. [08:28] he shouldn't need to [08:28] gdm will not stop it booting [08:28] ikonia, there is no error..., i had problems with booting prior (i had to boot through recovery mode -> restart x option) so i wanted to reinstall gdm to see if that helped, instantly my computer shutdown, now it wont boot into gnome [08:28] noobuser: do you get a command prompt when you boot ? [08:29] Jordan_U, could you pm me a list of commands? [08:29] Hello , How i can show remaining unused space of Physical Disk ? [08:29] ikonia, no [08:29] noobuser: then gdm is not your problem [08:29] fdisk -l not helpful , any other idea? [08:29] noobuser: so re-installing it will do nothing. [08:29] noobuser: what do you get on your screen [08:29] (when you boot) [08:29] noobuser: What exactly happens when you boot? [08:29] A[D]minS: df [08:30] anyone know why the left Windows key on a Das Keyboard does nothing on Ubuntu? it doesn't trigger super_L or hyper_L [08:30] ikonia, if i install gdm i will be able to boot with the recovery mode option atleast, then fix the other problem [08:30] prince_jammys: unused space of Physical Disk "Not Formated" [08:30] noobuser: no you won't [08:30] noobuser: what do you see on the screen when you boot [08:30] A[D]minS: ah, sorry. [08:30] it just loops [08:30] what lopps [08:30] as in shutsdown after grub [08:30] what's on the screen [08:30] no it doesn't [08:30] black [08:30] explain what you see [08:31] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:31] i 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 again [08:31] noobuser: ok - so that's nothing to do with gdm [08:32] i know, thats my other problem [08:32] so i try recovery mode [08:32] noobuser: installing gdm won't make it boot [08:32] and restart x which normally works, but because gdm isnt installed restart x option doesnt work [08:33] ikonia, installing gdm will let me boot into graphical recovery mode [08:33] user1_, One last format from XP and then I guess it is time for an RMA/return. [08:33] noobuser: I disagree [08:33] there are two problems, i cant boot, i dont have gdm thus i cant boot recovery [08:33] noobuser: 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 gdm [08:33] prash : ok i will try it [08:33] noobuser: 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] user1_, FWIW, do exactly like: http://www.kingston.com/support/howtodt/default.asp?type=x3 [08:34] user1_: as a last ditch efford. you could 'zero' the thing with the proper dd command. and then try to repartition it. [08:34] solifex: it hardware reboots, so X won't make a difference [08:34] does a touchpad mouse usually show up in lspci? === dondi is now known as jasdevan [08:34] user1_, You can try what Dr_Willis suggested. But you may have to re-create the partition table. [08:34] solifex, if i choose the command line option from recovery mode then i can login and command line and such [08:34] You definatly will. :) === jasdevan is now known as dondi [08:35] Dr_Willis: what is the proper dd command? [08:35] noobuser: Can you start X from there then? [08:35] i dont know howto [08:35] user1_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/WHATEVERDONTGETTHISWRONG bs=1024 [08:35] user1_, first make sure /dev/sdb is your flash drive [08:35] user1_: that will Totally zero out the whold drive. deleteing everything === plop is now known as plop_ag [08:36] user1_: i had to do that once ages ago to a 4gb flash [08:36] Hi 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? === dondi is now known as jasdevan [08:37] I'm running kubuntu 10.04, amd64. [08:37] noobuser: 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] Dr_Willis: is it not equivalent of deleting and formatting partitions of drive which i have done so many times [08:37] startx didnt work [08:38] user1_: this is lower level then formating/deleting [08:38] user1_, It is more than that. It wipes out MBR and anything in DOS-compat region [08:38] user1_: the only thing 'below' the dd zero test. is a low level format.. [08:38] and ive NEVER had to do a lowlevel format. :) [08:39] Dr_Willis: ok. and then create a MBR / msdos parition table is it? [08:39] noobuser: edit the file .xinitrc in your home directory and add the line "exec gnome-session" and then try startx [08:39] user1_, yes [08:39] user1_: dd. then you will have to repartition. I suggest trying 'fdisk' to partition the drive. then reboot.. THEN reformat. [08:39] noobuser: Do *not* do what solifex suggested. [08:40] solifex: That will log him into gnome as root. [08:40] huh? [08:40] Dr_Willis: ok. format to what - fat32 or ext3? [08:40] Jordan_U: Not unless he's running as root that is? [08:41] Anybody? Do I need to give more info ro something? [08:41] Dr_Willis: never did ext3 got recognized [08:41] solifex: Which, since he's in recovery mode, he is. [08:41] noobuser: "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] user1_: try vfat i guess. [08:41] Hi 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? [08:41] I'm running kubuntu 10.04, amd64. [08:42] ok. [08:42] Jordan_U, i cant, i dont have internet connection from that shell. im using a wireless adapter [08:43] i need to chroot and install gdm. i dont know how [08:44] What do I need to tell in order for my question to be acknowledged? [08:44] noobuser: `chroot /your/root` and there run `aptitude install gdm` [08:45] chirpis, maybe going to #kubuntu and asking their might help [08:45] what do i replace, your root with, /dev/sda1? [08:45] kubuntu is dead., [08:46] I doubt this issue is specxific to kubuntu. [08:46] chirpis, when did kubuntu die? its more widely used than Xubuntu and Xubuntu ain't dead [08:46] noobuser: a path, not a device. so wherever the disk is mounted [08:46] I mean #kubuntu, the channel. [08:46] oh ok [08:47] chirpis, its not dead but neither alive its zombified and yeah it may not be specific to kubuntu,h however I can't help [08:47] ....

[08:53] noobuser: Then you have to mount it yourself [08:53] i did [08:53] noobuser: What does `blkid` tell you? [08:54] noobuser: Aah, then look at the output of `mount` [08:54] nothing [08:55] noobuser: You need root permission to get a useful result from `blkid` [08:55] woot i did it [08:55] i chrooted in thanks [09:01] hi everyone [09:02] does anyone here run Windows7?

[09:31] psycho_oreos that's too bad.... anyway thanks you :) [09:31] funcrush, no worries, you might want to try ##hardware [09:31] psycho_oreos: #hardware is not for supporting random driver issues on random platforms [09:31] it's for discussing hardware [09:32] said platforms' channels are where driver issues are dealt with [09:32] Beelsebob, that isn't a driver issue afaik, that's a hardware issue if the hard drive clicks [09:32] (i.e. here) [09:32] got linux on my nintendo ds. 8) [09:32] psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.com/6jcdAZ1p [09:32] oh shit sorry, missread… thought you were responding to NeoCicak [09:32] my bad [09:32] Beelsebob, no worries :) [09:33] funcrush: is it usb powered? or got its own power supply? [09:33] hello everyone. What problems will I run into if I add karmic repos to sources.list on lucid? [09:33] Dr_Willis: it is usb powered. [09:33] konryd: very bad idea. could totally make a ubnbootable system [09:33] psycho_oreos : thank you very much, I'll search a help in there. [09:34] Dr_Willis, sounds like a problem indeed, thanks :) [09:34] funcrush: on some of my USB powered drives - they had special cables that had 2 usb conectors on one end. (the end that went to the pc) that gave them extra power. If i did NOT use that 3 headed connector cable. thye wouldent work properly [09:34] Dr_Willis, i can download the windows installation thingy from microsoft website right? [09:34] chirpis, looking at the logs I can see there was hardly any dramas with the driver, so you're saying that it wouldn't list any APs or the device cannot be seen? [09:34] psycho_oreos: iw phy phy0 info detects bitrates up to 54 mbit but the ap ist definitivly configured to b,g,n mode === Guest83036 is now known as valley [09:34] Dr_Willis: whatis 3 headed cable? [09:34] It won't list APs, but I know they're there. [09:35] Guest83036: Nice, how'd u do that? [09:35] funcrush: 2 cables taht go into the pc. one that goes into the hd. like i just described [09:35] hmmm apparently X-Fi doesnt work on lucid 64 bit [09:35] funcrush: 3 usb conectors total. 2 for pc. one for HD. [09:35] funcrush: like the letter 'Y' [09:35] pitcher, there's the issue right there :) iw phy phy0 info shows the info for the connected device (or the first detected wireless device), so in that case, the driver is limited to 54Mbps [09:36] Dr_Willis: i see. [09:36] chirpis, hmm go into terminal and try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [09:37] Dr_Willis, u thereeee? [09:37] zipper: hmm? [09:37] Dr_Willis, i can download the windows installation thingy from microsoft website right? [09:37] No change. :( [09:37] Dr_Willis : Can i use any cable ('Y')? well... i mean the HD depend on specify cable. [09:37] zipper: download windows from microsoft? No idea. [09:37] I thought the rules of ubuntu topics were strictly enforced :) if not then I'm presuming in funcrush's case, it might also be unpowered USB hub, or underpowered USB hub, or using the front USB ports of the computer where the power supply maybe insufficient [09:37] funcrush: my usb HD came with such a cable. If you have one. try it. [09:37] Dr_Willis, because i do not know isit this 1 or not can u check for me .. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994 [09:38] zipper: i dont plan on doing any microsoft research. try #windows [09:38] psycho_oreos, Dr_Willis: thank you for helpming me. I'll try :) [09:38] psycho_oreos: yea. ive had to use the 2 ends of the cables on differnt usb ports and other places on one pesky HD. [09:39] psycho_oreos: ok, so the module ar9170usb is not limited to 54mbit? its caused by the driver ar9170.fw? thnx for ur support [09:39] I cant figure out why only some external USB Hd's use the Y cables and not others. [09:39] hi all - i have a 64bit 10.4 Ubuntu server here that wont reboot. It looks like its getting stuck on starting a service. Im completely lost with the new UPSTART system, what can i do to see whats failing [09:39] Dr_Willis, hehe, had that happening on me other portable hard disk, also USB1.1 ports usually don't provide enough power at times [09:39] valium: services shouldent be hanging the system really. [09:40] valium: theres the 'text' option that should show all the text messages at boot up. [09:40] pitcher, no the ar9170.fw is simply a firmware.. I'm presuming its just the driver itself that is restricting to 54Mbps [09:40] psycho_oreos, Dr_Willis: maybe it resolved. I used extension line for the HD. After remove the line, it works well :) thanks [09:40] psycho_oreos: I tried that, but it didn't change anything. [09:41] Dr_Willis - what do you thinki could be hanging it? [09:41] funcrush, sounds like overpowered hence clicking, had that happening as well [09:41] valium: hard to tell. you can edit the grub menu for a 1 time test you wan tto change a line like the following --> linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=UUID=83bc3df7-b039-445c-82c9-e0c5ff235044 ro nofb [09:41] chirpis, ok, try disabling networkmanager temporarily from managing wireless and after executing that command, try sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning [09:42] psycho_oreos: Thank you :) [09:42] chirpis, if that yields nothing, check the last few lines of dmesg, it may show why [09:42] to be linux .... yadda yadda.... text (instead of the nofb/quiet/whatever) at the end [09:42] Dr_willis - I would but its grub2 [09:42] funcrush, no worries, though you should thank Dr_Willis as well [09:42] i'm having a problem trying to install linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic [09:42] psycho_oreos Yup :) [09:42] Dr_Willis: Thank you, again :) [09:43] hi [09:43] can someone please guide me about my post on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2010-July/004402.html === thoffmeyer is now known as thoffmeyer|AFK [09:43] more specificly, trying to install tcl [09:43] psycho_oreos, how do I disable networkmanager? [09:43] pitcher, if you're desperate, you might, might be able to enable 802.11n using ndiswrapper, but don't hold your breath and don't expect perfection either [09:43] http://pastebin.com/spam.php?i=h03zutj0 [09:44] chirpis, right click on network manager icon and uncheck the box labelled `enable wireless' [09:44] psycho_oreos: the n stick is directly supportetd by the kernel (out of the box) . according to the wiki the module ar9170 schould be able to handle draft n. perhaps i will give the ndiswarpper a chance [09:45] pitcher, yeah it is supported by kernel but that doesn't mean you will necessarily get 802.11n capability straight out of the box either.. I have one other card that doesn't have 802.11n capability yet even though it has a native driver available [09:45] Sorry, didn't look at the page, http://pastebin.com/h03zutj0 is what i'm getting with apt-get install tcl [09:47] hi [09:47] Hi all, a bit of a newb question, I am currently using server 9.04 do you strongly recommend upgrading to 10.04 [09:48] please, do have ubuntu 10.04 drivers for intel graphics card for playing games on ibm lenovo s10e netbook? [09:48] Mattod, anserw is: why not? [09:49] MattoD, I'd read the release notes of 10.04 prior to upgrading.. and I'd advise against upgrading as it is hardly ever done cleanly [09:49] ah right, i did try to upgrade via the desktop to 9.10 and that failed [09:49] psycho_oreos, no scan results. dmesg says, ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. [09:50] so that was unclean [09:50] chirpis, hmm and you have made sure networkmanager is not managing wireless at all? [09:51] MattoD, in my past experiences I have had failed upgrades so I refused to go down the upgrade path.. if I were to put a new version, I'd do a clean install [09:52] ok will do thx psycho_oreos [09:52] MattoD, no worries [09:52] psycho_oreos, how do I check? [09:53] chirpis, by going through the same process as disabling wireless on network manager but not unchecking the box [09:54] psycho_oreos, I thought unchecking the box is how you disabled it? [09:54] valium: that text option is new in 10.04 and works with grub2 [09:54] chirpis, correct and you repeat the same process except you don't check the box, you just make sure by seeing if the box remains unchecked [09:55] psycho_oreos, ok, it's still unchecked, and I get the same results. [09:55] please, do have ubuntu 10.04 drivers for intel graphics card for playing games on ibm lenovo s10e netbook? [09:55] how to add a program in start up that needs root [09:55] hey m back!!! [09:55] chirpis, try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning [09:55] mataks: depends on the program and whats its doing [09:55] Dr_Willis - i only can get into the system via recovery mode now. ;( its got a whole financial departments info on it [09:55] hai... [09:56] how does ubuntu paid support work? [09:56] valium: the 'text' option basically just disables plymouth and gdm, so you can see whatever boot up messages. [09:56] Ubuntu 10.04: Windows has an excellent video editing program called Pinnacle. With this it is possible to load a DVD-video (VOB) (i.e. recordings from a DVD-recorder taken from a TV channel), remove the commercials and then save it back as a DivX-movie (suitable for playing over the network on a home theater unit). This is done as a one-pass operation. Is anything similar possible on Ubuntu 10.04 ? I have tried avidemux, but I'm not ful [09:56] ly satisfied. Wine does not run Pinnacle.. :-( [09:56] Dr_Willis - what file do i edit to add the text option [09:56] valium: its a GRUB menu line you can edit to try it the first time [09:57] valium: from teh grub menu. not a file. [09:57] valium, http://www.canonical.com/consumer-services/support === 45PAAS1ML is now known as sjefskode [09:57] How i can show remaining unused space of physical disk "Not Formated" ? fdisk -l not helpful. any ideas? [09:57] Dr_Willis - when i hold down the shift key all i get is recovery mode and stardard kernel mode [09:57] line like --> linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic quiet text [09:58] valium: and theres an EDIT option at that screen [09:58] valium: its a grub feature [09:58] A[D]minS, try df -h [09:58] A[D]minS, just delete that partition [09:58] psycho_oreos "Not Formated" [09:58] abhi_nav: , psycho_oreos i want to know the size of unformated space! [09:58] A[D]minS, ah, thought it was mounted, my bad [09:58] A[D]minS: you mean what 'unallocated' space remains? [09:59] psycho_oreos, still no results [09:59] A[D]minS, yes u wll. use gparted [09:59] chirpis, do you have some other wireless manager software running? such as wicd, etc? [09:59] Dr_willis - ill reboot and check it out [09:59] abhi_nav: is there any tool through CLI [09:59] A[D]minS, duuunnnooo [09:59] A[D]minS, probably parted [09:59] gparted is the frontend of parted [10:00] psycho_oreos, nop, I don't think so. [10:00] chirpis, not convincing when you say you don't think so, hmm [10:00] woooow psycho_oreos well done :) parted [10:00] thx alot [10:01] psycho_oreos, how do I check? [10:01] A[D]minS, no worries, though abhi_nav solved the other part [10:01] Dr_Willis - ok I have edited it - will Ctrl-X write to file [10:01] :) [10:02] chirpis, 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] valium: its not writingot a file. its a 1 time thing [10:02] psycho_oreos, it has never worked. This is pretty much a fresh install. [10:02] valium: do the changes.. ctrl-x to exit/boot [10:03] chirpis, 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 version [10:03] psycho_oreos, well, it worked in an older version of ubuntu, maybe 8. [10:04] psycho_oreos, yeah, it's 64 bit. [10:04] please, is some graphical application to mounting iso files? [10:04] tomatto_: thers one in the repos i saw that adds a mount iso.. to the context menu. but its trivial to do it by hand [10:04] chirpis, ok, run iwevent and let it sit there for about 5 minutes [10:05] chirpis, actually once you done that, and am waiting for 5 minutes, tell me [10:05] !iso [10:05] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [10:05] psycho_oreos, with networkmanager still disabled? [10:05] hi, quick question. I want to secure my tmp and var/tmp directorys. Is using a loopback just as good as making a new partition? [10:05] chirpis, for wireless part, yes [10:06] psycho_oreos, ok, it's running. [10:06] chirpis, open up another terminal and type in sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor [10:07] Dr_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 shutdown [10:07] Dr_Willis: do you remember name of application? [10:07] 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] valium: if you do the recovery mode it doesd go to a console then? [10:07] tomatto_: nope. [10:07] how to add a program in start up that needs root [10:07] Dr_Willis - no same thing [10:08] !boot | mataks [10:08] mataks: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [10:08] psycho_oreos, it says it's busy. [10:08] valium: and it started doing this when exactly [10:09] chirpis, ok, do this: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor && ifconfig wlan0 up [10:09] tomatto_, right click the iso and use archive mounter to mount it. [10:09] mataks: clarify what the program is doing and that will let us know 'where' it needsd to start at. "startup" is a little vague. [10:10] prash: i dont think archivemounter is installed by default. [10:10] !find archivemounter [10:10] Package/file archivemounter does not exist in lucid [10:10] psycho_oreos, ok, that worked, and it showed up in iwevents. [10:11] chirpis, hmm ok, do the same thing except replace the word monitor with managed, and then wait [10:11] Dr_Willis, im trying to run a keylogger in start up called linux logkeys which needs root [10:12] psycho_oreos, ok. [10:12] Dr_Willis - i just rebooted this afternoon. The machine is only a couple of weeks old [10:12] Dr_Willis - when i rebooted it just failed to come up [10:12] Hello [10:12] valium: Hmm . thers been a lot of updates this week. can you ssh into the box?

Suggestions? i've found http://www.fogproject.org but it only deploys windows images apparently [10:16] chirpis, 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] anyone could help [10:16] psycho_oreos, right [10:16] I'm currently trying to set up a network installation with a preseed file for a multi-boot system.

[10:32] erwrw [10:33] sxp wget http://www.parasaber.com/parasabermedia/ingles/media/200804/17/20080417psainl_1_Aes_LAU.asf [10:33] OK, then, I'll try someone else, thanks :) [10:33] valium: never noticed such a key. [10:33] is there anyway to PM someone through IRC? [10:33] hai [10:33] sxp: i right clicked on it. had it play in totem. then copied the loction from the playlist. [10:33] oh,my god [10:33] Megaviv: /msg foo hello [10:33] haha [10:33] hi [10:33] ok Dr_Willis I will try! [10:34] slm [10:34] thanks! [10:34] My problem is solved [10:34] I downloaded the audio with download helper [10:34] valium: it could be the thing is fscking the filesystems. there was some key to skip that. Theres often an issue with Plymouth not proerly showing the 'fscking the disks....' messages [10:35] Megaviv: oh, sorry, I wandered off for a sec === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:36] OK, rww, it's all fine, thank you! So, hve you read the rest of my message? [10:36] Megaviv: Do you remember what the exception was that Windows gave? [10:36] Ahm, it said there were some missing installation files [10:36] It pointed me to the log which has just said the same [10:37] I've just started using ssh and get this error "/home//.local/share/applications/gnome-system-monitor.desktop for panel launcher: No such file or directory." But X is not a username on either machine. why? [10:37] quietone: using ssh how exctly? [10:38] Dr_Willis - or anyone for that matter. Does Ubuntu 64bit have a problem with AHCI mode for sata disks? [10:38] Dr_Willis: Hi, ssh -X v@a.b.c.d "gnome-panel" [10:39] quietone: im not sure starting gnome-panel that way is a good idea. try starting somtjhing simpiler like gnome-terminal first. [10:39] valium: not thast i have ever heard mention of. [10:39] Megaviv: Hrm. How did you get the install image onto the SD card? [10:39] is it ssh -x to enable X forardiong or -X ? one prevents it. :) [10:39] so where to install program? in which folder? i don`t think that /home [10:40] Dr_willis - is it okay to use compatible mode ? [10:40] valium: not sure what you mean by compatable mode. what is asking to use that? [10:40] valium: linux works best with ahci mode in sata controllers. [10:40] delfis: depends on what it is. and how you are installing it. [10:41] hi, i have a fakeraid raid 0 array from a previous version on Windows 7. Now that ihave switched to ubuntu i want to get the array back up and running again... I am having no luck getting it to recognise the array any longer. Any one can help? [10:41] rww: I used the instructions at the Ubuntu.com website, which guided me to download universal USB installer and use it to transferr the ISO file I've downloaded into the SD card [10:41] !fakeraid | wookienz [10:41] wookienz: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [10:42] wookienz: dmraid is the command to activate fakeraids in linux [10:42] dr_willis but where is the best folder for programs? [10:43] delfis: it DEPENDS [10:43] pvbrowser [10:43] delfis: there is no 'best' [10:43] i will install like this: [10:43] tar -zxf pvb.tar.gz [10:43] cd pvb [10:43] ./clean.sh [10:43] ./build.sh [10:43] su [10:43] delfis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:43] delfis: and what does it do? you want it for a single user or system wide? is it source you are compiliong? or a single file or what exactly? [10:44] sorry === lox is now known as lox_ [10:44] single user [10:44] then put it somewhere in the users home dir [10:44] anyone know if i can play games with windows users on skype ? [10:44] ok thanks [10:44] erUSUL: read all those links - i am trying to re build the array as not to lose the info already on it. So most of those links dont help. I can get the array re built is my issue [10:44] hello everone i installed windows vista just after ubuntu 10.4 lts and now i am unable to find the grub of ubuntu 10.4 . how can i resolve this problem [10:44] and make a link to the binaries it makes to the users /home/usernames/bin/whatever location [10:44] Megaviv: hrm. I don't see anywhere where it says that would work with an SD card necessarily? [10:44] I'm getting a kick-ass four 3.2 GHz xeon processor workstation delivered today, but it has no graphics card. I'm not an expert at graphics. Would anybody be able to advise me on a suitable card? It has AGP and PCI slots, no PCI express. I require something with two VGA outputs and at least 256mb of graphics ram. Thanks in advance. [10:45] hey, what can I do, if I want to copy files form local network through in wired network cable(cross); I'M using the net with wifi, and now it's copying with wlan.. [10:45] I haven't done it myself, I use a USB stick generally. [10:45] wookienz: that would be something to handle in the bios of the array or maybe in the especific tool the motherboard vendor ships ( for windows surely ) [10:45] lxsys: surely it depends on what you want to doo [10:46] grub issue with vista dual boot and ubuntu 10.4 lucid . unable toa ccess ubuntu . [10:46] lxsys: this belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic btw [10:46] erUSUL: it is reporting as fine in the bios - linux just cant see it and mount it [10:46] linxeh: sorry, i'm going over there now [10:46] Hi all [10:46] lxsys: a new pc that has no pci-express slot? about any card these days should fit your criteria. IF you can find agp cards :) [10:46] help plz [10:47] !ask | abhijain [10:47] abhijain: 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. :-) [10:47] I have problem with wine [10:47] rww: OK, I'll try it on a USB. I'll simply transfer my USB files to the SD and make the same process with the USB as I've done with the OS to put the ISO and install, probably that's the only solution meanwhile. Thanks, and bye bye. [10:47] I Install GTA SA but when i run i dont see titles in menu only boxes [10:48] when i run game it crash [10:48] tomasz: check the wine app datasbase for specific games/issues and fixs [10:48] !appdb | tomasz [10:48] tomasz: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [10:48] wookienz: when you do « sudo dmraid -ay » the array does not appear in /dev/mapper/* ???

[10:51] wookienz: wrong # of devices in RAID set [1/2] it seems to think that there is only a single hard disk in there ...

You could put it in /etc/rc.local [10:57] wookienz: well sda seems to have a odd partitionning... dmesg does not show any partitions ( but tshows this odd line [ 1.590402] sdb: sda1 ) and fdisk shows /dev/sda1p1 and /dev/sda1 ... really dunno what may have happened. [10:57] Does anyone know if Ubuntu 10.10 will have the yahoo search engine as the default on Firefox? [10:57] erUSUL: i think sdb has an EFI partition in there for some reason what ever that means. [10:58] xor: i doubt if anyone knows at this time. [10:58] wookienz: can you paste « sudo parted /dev/sda print » ? [10:58] wookienz: sda show efi too ( GPT ) [10:58] wookienz: ohh no [10:58] abhi_nav: i am new for ubuntu can u help me step by step . i have live cd [10:58] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/gazuyXAj [10:59] wookienz: you are right. sdb efi sda normal msdos ... [10:59] abhijain, are you on same computer? [10:59] Dr_Willis: Right, a definite answer is of course difficult to get. How's the alpha though?

[11:00] then I can only tell how. i can be with you on each step? abhijain ? because to implement all this you have to restart ,logoff etc? [11:00] abhijain, i try wait [11:00] hello. 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) [11:01] erUSUL: is i possible that linux is seeing both disks and not the one the disk that the bios should be presenting? [11:01] I guess I'll see when it comes out. [11:01] whow, wookienz, recursive partitioning that sounds more like statistics in math than an fdisk problem [11:01] where he goes now? [11:02] blackthor: god knows how it happened! [11:02] wookienz: 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 it [11:03] erUSUL: 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. [11:04] abhijain, what happend where were you been gone? [11:04] abhi_nav: n/w probem [11:04] abhijain, I see. so can we continew now? [11:04] abhi_nav: yeah [11:04] wookienz: sw raid? or hw raid? [11:05] abhijain, ok so you are using 10.04? [11:05] abhi_nav: yeah lucid 10.4 wubi [11:06] wubi? what is wubi to do with grub restoration? [11:06] blackthor: SW raid - [11:06] abhi_nav, That is something I have always wondered, Does wubi just use the Windows boot loader? or install the GRUB loader? [11:07] I understand 'install' wouldn't be a correct term in this case, but you get what I mean. [11:07] NeverCast, 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] Hey everyone. I'm on Ubuntu Lucid and apache2 won't start and is giving no errors (in logs or otherwise) [11:07] abhi_nav, Well the kernel images are in the windows partition sure. [11:08] abhi_nav, But it isn't like a Virtual Machine, the kernel is actually loaded [11:08] abhi_nav, I would believe Wubi would use GRUB bootloader [11:08] windows chanloads grub somehow to boot wubi. (i hate wubi. so dont use it) :) so imay be wrong [11:09] Dr_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. [11:10] .. I could be long, but I believe that's how it works. [11:10] wookienz:i'm looking google for ways of restoring a gpt partition table ... [11:10] * Dr_Willis knows that it often works poorly [11:10] :) [11:10] erUSUL: thanks i appreciate it! I have been trying for days to get it working... [11:10] Dr_Willis, Agreed, I have Ubuntu installed on my Laptop, no windows anywhere, none of this Wubi stuff, no dual boot [11:10] If I want to run windows, I'll just do it Virtually. [11:10] I was disconnected [11:11] I lost all msgs. [11:11] abhi_nav, that's okay it was just chit-chat. [11:11] NeverCast, Ok. :) [11:11] Hey everyone. I'm on Ubuntu Lucid and apache2 won't start and is giving no errors (in logs or otherwise) -- Where should I start debugging? === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [11:11] (sorry, I forgot to finish the question) [11:11] BPower, wanna paste bin the errors for us? [11:12] NeverCast: the ones that he said he didn't get? [11:12] rww, :D lol [11:12] rww, Uhh.. LOL [11:12] rww, My bad [11:12] BPower, Sorry mate, misread your message. [11:12] no worries, we all do it :) [11:13] NeverCast, no problem. :) [11:13] BPower: no apache processes in "ps aux", I take it? [11:13] rww, nope [11:14] none [11:14] * NeverCast ponders to himself. 'should set up an svn'. [11:14] erUSUL: is it possible the NTFS partition has been marked dirty and linux wont mount it? I did see someone usingi "ntfsfix" to re move the dirty flag on the partition,,,but so far have been unsure how it will permantly affect the partitions.. [11:14] Can anyone tell me how to open the root window? [11:14] wookienz: problem is we do not have a partition to ntfsfix ... [11:14] BPower, Try reinstalling it? [11:14] abhi_nav: sorry . bsnl sucks here [11:14] Talu, open terminal and there type sudo su [11:15] BPower: is it writing to its log files at all? [11:15] abhijain, yah its ok :) tell me you are using wubi? [11:15] BPower: even without errors, there should be a couple of lines in there, I think [11:15] abhi_nav: yeah 10.4 [11:15] That didnt work [11:15] rww, log start times hopefully [11:15] abhijain, then wubi is nothing to do with grub resoration. what exactly you want to do? [11:15] wookienz: the best i found http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/repairing.html [11:15] Talu, what ddint work? you want to login to root account? [11:16] I want to open a root window were i can copy paste stuff. [11:16] Talu, Right click, Paste ;) [11:16] * abhi_nav confused. [11:16] abhi_nav: i want to recover grub of linux . i installed windows vista after ubuntu and windows hide the grub of ubuntu [11:16] abhijain, It didn't exactly hide it [11:16] abhijain, More of Destroyed it [11:17] abhijain, do you mean you install windows fully and you also installed ubuntu fully? in real hdd? in real partition? [11:17] :( [11:17] abhi_nav, I'm not sure if he used wubi [11:17] abhi_nav, regardless, Wubi still uses the GRUB loader [11:17] You 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. [11:18] NeverCast, yah that is what I try to clear [11:18] NeverCast, yes but id dont messes with mbr? [11:18] ahh?? [11:18] wookienz: i have to go for a while. [11:18] rww, strange - i'm getting two errors now. "unable to start piped log program '/usr/bin/cronolog -S /var/log/apache2/xemzi_access_log -P /var/log/apache2/xemzi_access_log.prev /var/log/apache2/access_log-%Y%m%d': No such file or directory and "Unable to open logs" [11:19] I know what to do... i think [11:19] abhi_nav, What do you mean doesn't mess with the MBR, GRUB is written to the MBR. [11:19] erUSUL: ok thanks - ill have a look [11:20] NeverCast, 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] I 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. [11:21] Talu, sudo mv [11:21] Hmm i try that then [11:21] abhi_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] Talu, you do this thing from that account in which account that game was owned. [11:22] NeverCast, ok. Still not understood. but is ok. leave it. lets see if we can help him. [11:25] abhi_nav, IF he can get back lol. === OerHeks is now known as Oer [11:25] NeverCast, :D lol really. yes it is here really a problem of broadband connection. I am also just lost you see? like that [11:25] abhi_nav: it just has some 'tools' in windoss that let it be easially insatlled/removed with the windows add/remove program files applications/system :) [11:26] Dr_Willis, so it doesnt act like a regular windows application? [11:26] abhi_nav, Nope it's not an application [11:27] NeverCast, Dr_Willis ok. thanks. [11:27] abhi_nav, It just has an Application for adding and removing the distro (: [11:27] NeverCast, I see [11:27] It's fixed now. [11:27] Thanks all!

[11:48] jf1976, but it always used to work without sudo. I just used to click from places and it just worke [11:48] check your group membership [11:48] iflema - yep, got that far....what then? how do i know what scale to type in? i just want to make images smaller to upload onto the net? [11:48] jf1976, I now use the admin account [11:49] I suspect my problem could be some thing to do with the graphics subsystem. How do I start toubleshooting? Are ther logs I could look at etc... [11:49] Guest84383 theres a percentage option say 50%????? [11:50] admin account ? if your using ubuntu then there is a root account + an account (the first) you created that have higer privs but please dont login to you systems as root, just sudo [11:50] Guest84383 percentage of width and height [11:50] Guest84383: http://www.imagemagick.org/www/mogrify.html [11:50] blackthor - thanks will look into it [11:51] Guest84383: first command = resize to a certain % and overwrite the original file [11:51] jf1976, this is the account that was created during installation [11:51] kk thats cool then [11:51] jf1976, 'cool' ? [11:52] iflema - can't see a percentage option.....and sorry - i don't understand your last comment....not overly computer literate! what do you mean 'first command'? i just opened the program, then clicked image and then scale image. [11:53] use a shell [applications] --> [Accessories] --> [Terminal] and use #sudo mount {DEVICE} [11:53] thanks Jordan_U, google also told me to use shift but looks like i was just too slow ;) ps: i tried nouveau and it caused my pc to hang. I've now managed to switch back a semi-working nv driver [11:53] does anyone know of tools that could help me analyse a crashdump? [11:53] Guest84383 instead of 'pixels' select 'percentage' of width and height [11:54] i have a machine with tow netcards. sometimes after boot only one card works. it does not appear in ifconfig, it does not appear in lspci and it does not appear in dmesg. after reboot if appears everywhere its supposed to be. ubuntu version is hardy 8.04.2 kernel 2.6.22-14-server.

That's kinda unexpected.. But thanks for the help! [11:59] i'm still trying to figure out if ubuntu works fine on a HP ML150 G6 (which is "fairly new", not 'bleeding edge') however, on the canonical site, 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) ? [11:59] imgx64: well is expected if you know how the shell works ;P [11:59] cool, installing. Thanks erUSUL - how do you know these things? [12:00] blackthor, i find that you have more chances of getting ubuntu working on a PC then windows [12:00] do I have to restart nautilus now though? [12:00] I just apt-get upgraded [12:01] I mean installed, oops [12:01] ......................... [12:01] stevecam: but i'm naturally concerned about (raid) driver crap, so that's why i try to inform myself first [12:01] 886 [12:01] bay~bay~ [12:01] was 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 card [12:01] i don't know much about raid, but i know SATA seems to work fine [12:02] hi [12:02] how long ago was that? [12:02] I need help guys [12:02] i think 2005-2006 [12:02] i ended up installing redhat :( [12:02] blackthor: #ubuntu-server may be of more help.

[12:02] can any1 help me? [12:03] stevecam: yes there were some issues with the HP raid chipset but it's fairly undocumented... that's why i'm asking here ;) [12:03] blackthor: i expect linux to support the controller just fine this kind of server class hard is well supported. [12:03] erUSUL: yes i'd expect that too until [12:03] Samara: I do now that you have mentioned it (didn't before because you didn't use my nick in the message). [12:03] i came onto the "HP partner" page of canonical [12:03] where i only see an outdated list of supported devices [12:04] and the HP ML150 G6 not being in it [12:04] Samara: You've accidentily installed grub to your windows partition. [12:05] Samara: 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] so, can i fix this without re-install all windows xp? [12:05] hi guys , how do i find out if my wifi device has its drivers installed right? Im on ubuntu 10.04 [12:05] Samara: Yes. [12:07] Jordan_U, testdisk is a linux program? [12:07] apapa: using the wifi-device [12:08] iceroot: ? [12:08] I need help [12:08] Jordan_U, is there any material that i can read to do this? [12:08] blackthor: 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 controller [12:09] Samara: "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] yoda___, right click panel add applet add application launchder then select from syste=>preference=>network connection [12:10] any mirror list for ports.ubuntu.com ?

Should i set it to the USA when it asks for where i live [12:39] kiasanth: Well, I meant "Screens" literally, monitors [12:39] Does anyone know how to access my ftp server from another computer over the Internet? [12:39] kiasanth: or did you mean that as well? [12:40] private_meta: yeah, 4 monitors ;) not virtual desktops [12:40] kiasanth: You can use a dynamic DNS service, Dyndns, forward your ports through your router and then access it [12:40] private_meta: done that, it's timing out though [12:40] Do you have a stable SSH connection? [12:40] hello, 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 installed [12:41] kiasanth: Maybe the ingong connection itself is problematic... if SSH works, why not use SCP? [12:41] I forwarded my ports in the router, allowed them in ufw, and got dynDNS resolving perfectly, still no access though [12:41] hi , 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 this [12:42] i've install some package for compile : build-essential, ... but it not work [12:42] kiasanth: Passive? [12:42] CaNoc: you have to install the kernel sources [12:42] private_meta: let me check [12:43] kiasanth: only linux-source, package kernel-source not found , that's strange [12:43] awww,, i got it.. pretty strange.. KDE got set as default some how.. [12:43] kiasanth: again, why not use SCP? Is it for someone else you don't want to give shell access to? [12:43] private_meta: yeah, I don't want them to have full access [12:43] ok... [12:44] Then again, ssh doesn't mean full access, but it would be a bitch to configure [12:44] hi 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? [12:45] <^mNotIntelligent> bye all [12:45] kiasanth: Well, check if it's set for passive connection or maybe you forgot the port range forwarding for the ports used by the server [12:45] private_meta: yeah, passive fails too, got 20 and 21 allowed on tcp [12:45] Whew... it's been quite a long time since I had an FTP server running XD [12:47] kiasanth: sure you've got the correct IP ranges for these ports you've allowed through? [12:47] I'm allowing all ip's [12:48] It's been so long I actually set up an FTP server that I'm slightly out of ideas already, sorry >_< [12:48] as 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] I'm using pure-ftp and it is listening for ftp connections on tcp and tcp6 [12:48] according to netstat -tap [12:48] kiasanth: can you connect from the inside?

[13:07] Gryllida: 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. [13:08] hi there. does anyone of you know where I can fund the x-fixes PPA maintainer(s) on freenode? [13:08] Gryllida: Is gedit the only program pasting doesn't work for?

[13:26] x-warrior`: What are you actually trying to do? Do you actually have a problem with users running 'who', or is that just an example? [13:26] Dr_Willis, I have Asus Eee 1000H. After Ubuntu 10.04. Only some of the hotkeys work and the wireless do not work anymore. Getting tired of having to spend a lot of effort with every new version to fix things that break.

[13:27] maxwellian: why? [13:27] x-warrior`: Nothing, I'm just being stupid out loud. [13:28] terraplane: Nope - I followed a series of steps onutlined on www.theregister.com [13:28] Just flash (icetea6 plugin I think) for multimedia stuff like that [13:28] hi [13:28] x-warrior`: I don't know of a general solution to your problem.

[13:35] apapa: yes; so do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » [13:36] can you choose a driver in that dialog? [13:36] apapa: it needs to download the firmware for the card becouse the **##@@*&*** at broadcom would not allow redistribution by linux vendors of said firmware files [13:36] ciao! [13:36] List! [13:36] !it | flamb1 [13:36] flamb1: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

XD [13:37] frag4now: What package provides the software for you? dvdauthor? [13:37] it's bad ( [13:37] maxwellian: yes [13:37] apparently the kernel team is not using the updated wifi driver from realtek despite it being out since the last couple kernels [13:37] !info dvdauthor [13:37] dvdauthor (source: dvdauthor): create DVD-Video file system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.14-3ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 189 kB, installed size 536 kB [13:38] Can I disable ipv6 for apt-get? [13:38] sgronblo: and everything else too [13:38] erUSUL: alright done [13:38] frag4now: 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. [13:39] erUSUL: do i restart or what now/ [13:39] apapa: to avoid rebootin the machine do « sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 » [13:39] kohlrak: Well apt-get seems to be the only thing affected by poorly working ipv6 for me. [13:39] maxwellian: weird. I updated ubuntu today with apt-get update... [13:39] Hello! could anyone tell me please, how to turn on wifi button via software on lucid? (amilo li1718 laptop) [13:39] apapa: and tell me if you see a wlan0 in « iwconfig » output [13:39] frag4now: Right, but in our Ubuntu repositories, the latest version is what you have. [13:39] oh you mean that fix is not added yet [13:39] michalxo: with rfkill maybe [13:39] frag4now: Exactly. [13:40] maxwellian: ok how can I install the 0.7.bla version? [13:40] erUSUL: no, not [13:40] Hello, when i work with severall workspaces is the a shortcut to reach them insted on pressing with the mouse on the symbol? [13:40] maxwellian: can you give me svn link? [13:40] I saw some scripts in /etc/acpi/ [13:40] apapa: do « dmesg | tail -n 25 » and paste output to pastebin [13:40] apapa how then? [13:40] !paste | apapa [13:40] apapa: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [13:40] frag4now: Hold on, looking... [13:40] sorry apapa :-) [13:41] michalxo: sudo rfkill unblock wifi [13:41] erUSUL thanks, I'll try... [13:41] hey, is there a way to switch from ubuntu to windows and back to ubuntu faster from a dual boot? [13:42] NullSet_ ? [13:42] NullSet_, virtualization [13:42] frag4now: Hmmm...I went to their Sourceforge page and their latest release is only 0.6.18 [13:42] virtualization? could you explain? [13:42] NullSet maybe have a look at virtualisation, here a good prog is virtualbox [13:43] I'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] maxwellian: what's their sourceforge page? [13:43] erUSUL: heres what you want : http://pastebin.com/9qudFnFC Here's what Ive done before :http://pastebin.com/y8qzMXzS [13:43] NullSet_, as amokpaule said google virtualbox or vmware [13:43] frag4now: 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] Now 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] erUSUL it did not work... [13:43] ok, 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? [13:44] they're speaking about some svn version...but i can't find the link there (my link) so i'm going to install it from sources with your link [13:44] erUSUL U am going to read some manual.. :-) [13:44] My 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] apapa: maybe the wifi is disabled via a key ? [13:44] frag4now: That link won't help you. [13:45] erUSUL yes it is, that's why I want to turn it on.. key does not work at all.. only in windwos [13:45] michalxo: sudo rfkill list all [13:45] soft and hardblocked NO [13:45] apapa: or switch... do « sudo rfkill list all » [13:45] erUSUL: 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] frag4now: 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] kiasanth: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/keeping-safe/C/users.html [13:46] apapa: do « iwconfig » see if wlan0 appeared. [13:46] steffan: thanks [13:46] nope [13:46] what key do i press during boot that will let me skip a service from loading [13:46] erUSUL: nope [13:46] ronoc, run this command: xvinfo [13:46] apapa: do « sudo rfkill list all » please [13:46] http://xkcd.com/340/ [13:46] frag4now: Doesn't seem to add up to me, I don't know why they would have version numbers if they haven't released the code yet... [13:47] erUSUL: 1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no [13:47] frag4now: svn revision numbers, sure. [13:47] steffan: that didn't help, my users are virtual users in a database not actual users [13:47] ive installed a jboss in my ubuntu but i cant find his folder or his service, can someone help me? [13:47] erUSUL so it's not soft and hard blocked... how to turn it on? echo on > /somewhere?/ [13:47] terraplane: sorry about that actually blackscreened on me as I was running System Test on the "video Tests" [13:47] had to reboot [13:47] kiasanth: sorry, I didn't see you stating that [13:47] michalxo: really dunno; sorry. [13:47] steffan: sorry, forgot to state it hehe [13:48] thought it might actually tell me about my video card [13:48] I was upgrading from Xubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 using the alternative cd, and then I removed the Xubuntu desktop using the command posted in Psychocats and installed lubuntu-desktop meta package. The problem is, when I installed pcmanfm2 from the Lubuntu PPA, it doesn't draw the desktop. Also, I have to return to the login screen in order for me to shut the PC down. Any suggestion? [13:48] ive installed a jboss in my ubuntu but i cant find his folder or his service, can someone help me? [13:48] apapa: only BT ? :( did you blacklisted b43? maybe tried to install ndiswrapper or something ... [13:48] erUSUL: im sorry what [13:49] hellp [13:49] hello [13:49] :) [13:49] apapa: i'm asking if you tried to follow some other howto to make your card work ... [13:49] serious network problem: I'm dropping about 50% of the packets I try to send across the internet. as far as I can tell it's only happening on my box.

Enjoy your stay! [13:50] the strange part is that anything not sent towards the internet works perfectly. [13:50] erUSUL: hmm yeah but I dont think i did any ndiswrapper [13:50] even more strange, the packets that DO get through go just as fast as they're supposed to [13:50] maxwellian: I can't neither be able to find their svn... [13:51] apapa: please do « grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/ » [13:51] erUSUL, that won't work. try « grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/ -r » [13:51] heluuu!!! m back again!!! [13:51] frag4now: Worse than that, I DID find a page for a Git repository... :P [13:51] apapa: yes is « grep -R b43 /etc/modprobe.d/ » [13:52] frag4now: http://github.com/ldo/dvdauthor [13:52] oh fine... [13:52] why? do you dislike git? === scott_ is now known as Guest53456 [13:53] frag4now: No, it concerns me, because we might actually have two different packages here. [13:53] erUSUL: HOLD ON IM LOADING UP PASTEBIN [13:53] erUSUL: oops [13:53] why compiling from source ? ... [13:53] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/DX2hvXMw [13:53] maxwellian: oh... [13:53] frag4now: Git doesn't have svn revision numbers, so it doesn't really line up. [13:54] apapa: looks like you have b43 blacklisted ... Used System>Admin...>Hardware drivers ? [13:54] what? it has revision numbers [13:54] how do i reconfigure X server in 10.4? [13:55] erUSUL do you know here any other skilled "helper"? [13:55] frag4now: I've never used it, but I thought they used a hash instead of a revision number. [13:56] michalxo: a few; but they are not around now. and pinging them would be no polite. they help when they can... [13:56] erUSUL: a. I dont know what that means "blacklisted". b. I dont see any wireless drivers in the sys>admin>hwdrivers, only ati drivers(which are not installed) [13:56] michalxo: try later [13:56] i guess it's the same for git each commit generates an hash that is your revision number... [13:56] well.. it's just that I can't use internet there.. and I am a bit in a hurry :-( [13:56] thanks anyway erUSUL === matthijs is now known as mvhenten [13:56] apapa: blacklisted means that the system will not use the driver even if we told it to. [13:57] erUSUL: ok, how do we unblacklist it [13:57] apapa: dunno who/what blacklisted b43 but it did it twice [13:57] i downloaded fglrx-installer_8.660.orig.tar.gz BUT dont know how to install it, pls tell me how [13:57] welcome [13:57] frag4now: Anyway, I suggest you get on the mailing list or whatever to find out how to get the patch you need. [13:57] erland: you have tried the ati drivers in the repos first? [13:58] I've created a new wireless connection in Networkmanager (U 10.04) and have connected my iPhone to it. However, I can't browse from my iPhone. Any clues? [13:58] apapa: edit both /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf with a text editor and put a # i front of everyline that begins with blacklist [13:58] apapa: you know how to edit files as root ?

[13:59] apapa: for graphical apps [13:59] !gksudo | apapa [13:59] Not yet, Dr_Willis [13:59] apapa: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

Sporadic black screens [14:00] what am i to do? [14:00] frag4now: It can be, but you should already have the dependencies worked out, since you already have it installed. [14:00] * Dr_Willis wonders if using the hardware-drivers tool is mentioned in the ubuntu manual [14:00] erUSUL: interesting, hey in the .conf file, the first line says : # wl module from Broadcom conflicts with ssb [14:00] ronoc: give more details for starters [14:00] : i downloaded fglrx-installer_8.660.orig.tar.gz BUT dont know how to install it, pls tell me how [14:00] ronoc: Do you have desktop effects enabled? [14:00] Nope [14:00] frag4now: And if you need help once you get the source, come on back! :) [14:00] erUSUL: i guess i will need to disable ssb, whatever that is?

[14:03] BluesKaj: Hum, I remeber one time I created a NM share and other laptops could connect to it with no problem. I think I was using Fedora back then (but that should be irrelevant)... [14:03] erdem-ati: System>Admin...>hardware drivers no working for you ? [14:03] erUSUL: nope, it doesnt show any driver [14:03] frag4now: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Otherwise, if the bug's not too annoying, just wait until the package is updated. :) [14:03] erdem-ati: next step try to use envyng [14:04] !envyng | erdem-ati [14:04] erdem-ati: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE).

[14:07] erUSUL: so envyng is not a good idea for lucid. [14:07] maxwellian: sadly i have to use it to create a dvd with menus...maybe i'll switch to gentoo later...thanks for now. Now ubuntu devels knows about this issue...i'm sure they will fix it as soon as possible ;) [14:07] frag4now: Did you file the bug report?? [14:07] does anyone have experience with scanners and OCR on ubuntu? [14:08] erdem-ati: nope; if you still want to use the run. it would be « chamod +x file.run && sudo ./file.run » [14:08] maxwellian: i don't have an account...

[14:09] frag4now: Ah, okay, well...hopefully the developers aren't as lazy, and they actually see and try to fix the bug. :) [14:09] erUSUL: ok both have been completelty removed [14:09] duli: What are you tring to do, use your ipone as gateway to internet? http://www.iphonemodem.com/ [14:09] terry: no, the other way around. I'm trying to use ubuntu as the gateway [14:10] erUSUL: and files edited...now what? [14:10] duli: Not sure how to do that. You don't have a wireless router? [14:11] terry: I created a wireless connection in NM (ubuntu 10.04). Then I'm trying to connect my iPhone to it, as if it was any other router available (it has worked in the past between to laptops) [14:11] terry: No, I don't have a rouyter.... === manwolf is now known as nilgaard [14:11] for anyone who is wondering, I worked out the FTP problem, pureFTP now has multiple configs and to force chroot toy need to make a text file called ChrootEveryone with yes in it then restart the daemon [14:11] duli: But your ubuntu system has a wirless network adapter? [14:11] apapa: reboot [14:11] toy = you* [14:12] alrighty [14:12] terry: yes, it does... but I'm using cable conneection right now [14:12] duli: Does that wireless NIC have AP mode? [14:12] is it ok if i remove CUPS? [14:12] maxwellian: this dvd is a stuff for my dad's friend that cut away my time from my work. So I don't want to spend other time to fullfill a form that doesn't solve the issue. I simply want to close this "wasting time work". thanks for your help [14:12] ashiswin: do you ever want to print? [14:12] frag4now: Sure, sorry we didn't get it fixed. [14:13] Package nessus is not available, but is referred to by another package. [14:13] terry: I think it does. You see, the iPhone detects the wirlress connection.. I insert the password and all, and it seems to connect [14:13] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [14:13] is only available from another source [14:13] However the following packages replace it: [14:13] openvas-client [14:13] struhevol: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:13] E: Package nessus has no installation candidate [14:13] anyone know how to solve this dependancy? /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb-4.2 [14:13] terry: but then I can't browse. I already tried to change the DNS entries [14:13] im thinking its berkley db but i have it installed [14:13] ashiswin: if you do not have a printer ... [14:13] well 4.8 anyways [14:13] digitalfiz: what are you trying tio compile? [14:13] NM lets you set up an ad hoc connection as described in url that terry posted [14:13] how can i paste something in this channel [14:13] maxwellian: don't worry...happens. thanks for your support ;) [14:13] without flooding [14:14] Dr_Willis, snowglobe viewer its for a game called secondlife [14:14] what is the volume app on the toolbar called? I lost mine. [14:14] duli: What is your wireless NIC? lspci |grep -i wireless [14:14] n2iko: volume-indicator [14:14] digitalfiz: Hmm. well if it was in the repos. theres an apt-get feature to auto-install all needed dependencies/dev files.. [14:14] n2iko indacator applet [14:15] frag4now: Welcome, good luck! [14:15] is there a way of connecting my 2nd slave HDD to virtual box?? [14:15] n2iko: no; indicator-sound sorry [14:15] thanks [14:15] !paste | struhevol [14:15] struhevol: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:15] O My GoD!!! [14:15] It has removed everything! [14:15] n2iko: and as struhevol says you need the indicator applet to display it [14:15] removing cups has removed everything! [14:15] digitalfiz: perhasp you need --> libdb-dev - Berkeley Database Libraries [development] [14:15] Dr_Willis, yeah its called auto-apt it worked well forthe older vewer but this new one has been completely recoded and auto-apt doesnt seem to be getting any new stuff i may need [14:16] digitalfiz: but the db version is 4.7 in 10.04 it seem,s [14:16] terry: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 [14:16] i did sudo apt-get remove libcups2 === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [14:16] does it display automagicaly or do I need to install it also? [14:16] and now everythign is gone! [14:16] please [14:16] help me [14:16] ashiswin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:16] Dr_Willis, yeah maybe i can change the cmake files i dunno im new to compiling :P [14:16] digitalfiz: i was refering to the 'apt-get build-dep PACKAGENAME' command. [14:16] okok. please help me. I have lost everything [14:16] nm, got my answer [14:16] digitalfiz: that build-dep makes it very easy to pull in stuff to compile new versions of stuff. :) [14:17] ashiswin: Take it easy...what does "everything" mean? [14:17] like [14:17] Dr_Willis, yeah just useless with stuff not in repo :/ [14:17] duli: http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/adapters/5000/index.htm [14:17] That it ? ^^^ [14:17] it unsinstalled terminal firefox thunderbird all icons are gone. opening folders says that no application is handling that [14:17] erUSUL: hey man thanks alot wireless now shows up [14:17] apapa: no problem [14:17] digitalfiz: I use it to 'shotgun' install dev stuff i may eventually need. :) [14:17] even the ubuntu software center is gone [14:18] PLEASE! [14:18] bye [14:18] ashiswin: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [14:18] i cant [14:18] ashiswin: go to console. and do what erUSUL said. [14:18] terminal is gone [14:18] ashiswin: or sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop [14:18] ashiswin: the CONSOLE. alt-ctrl-f1 [14:18] terry: yes, I think so [14:19] erUSUL: so what exactly is the recommended steps that I should take if i start again with a fresh install? [14:19] ok this is my problem when i type aptitude install unetbootin [14:19] *are [14:19] it works [14:19] Bye [14:19] Dr_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] hi, do i need the same version of live cd with my install in order to reload the grub2? [14:19] duli: http://download.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/319981.pdf [14:19] fine but then when i try aptitude install nessus it dont work [14:19] apapa: do nothing but install b43-fwcutter package while connected to internet. reboot [14:19] is something wrong with aptitude [14:19] ashiswin, its just my guess that why cant you revers it? sudo apt-get install libcups2 [14:19] maxwellian: then keep cups.. its not that big a thing [14:20] any ideas what i might be doing wrong [14:20] struhevol: 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] Dr_Willis: I just don't understand the reasoning behind removing all of that software that seemingly has nothing to do with cups. [14:20] o ok === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [14:21] Dr_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] ok so how do i find out what package is not updated [14:21] duli: 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] maxwellian: its all about the dependencies and how things interlink. I rarely bother with removing stuff. so i havent looked into it much [14:21] Dr_Willis, symlinking 4.8 to 4.2 worked :P [14:21] rww can you help me out [14:21] digitalfiz: thats a dirty trick. :) [14:21] terry: hum, ok [14:21] Dr_Willis, hehe but if it compiles im happy :P [14:21] maxwellian: 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 well [14:21] Dr_Willis: I'm the same as you...I'm sure the powers that be have a great explanation. :) [14:21] digitalfiz: ive had that not work befor. but if it works [14:21] struhevol: I'm not sure why you'd need to? [14:22] Can anyone confirm the release date for 10.04.1? [14:22] yay it compiled that part now its failing at gmock, i hate hardcoded versioning [14:22] hi, 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] i just want to know how do i know which package needs to be updated [14:22] thats all i am trying to figure out rww [14:22] duli: 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 firestarter [14:22] firestarter | duli [14:23] chazco: July 29th, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [14:23] terry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing I think I mised something here [14:23] !firestarter | duli [14:23] duli: 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] abhi_nav: hello [14:23] Does anyone know a good program for burning an AVI to a DVD? [14:23] ubottu: ok, yks [14:23] duli: What is it you think you missed? [14:23] hiyaaa abhijain :) [14:23] rww - Thanks, didn't know that page had been updated :) [14:23] fbxxkl: devede ? [14:23] erUSUL: Hrm...so anything that provided a 'Print' option gets thrown out with cups? [14:23] terry: the share my connection part.. let me see [14:23] Thanks erUSUL [14:24] hi, do i need the same version of live cd with my install in order to reload the grub2? [14:24] "IPv4 Settings" tab and next to "Method:" select the drop down box and select the option that says "Shared to other computer [14:24] abhi_nav: sorry that time internet sucks [14:24] thanks all [14:24] fbxxkl: you 'convert' an avi to the proper format. :) then burn the data files to dvd. is more technically right. [14:24] fbxxkl: devede does a good job at that. [14:24] abhijain, ohh yah. you read my memo? [14:24] abhi_nav: so now we can proceed [14:24] abhijain, sure. [14:24] maxwellian: probably ( not with cups with libcups or somesuch ) [14:24] abhi_nav: this time i am on bindows [14:25] fbxxkl: just be sure to check the proper PAL/NTSC option for your tv. :0 and play with devede a bit. its a little quirky. [14:25] 'bindows'? [14:25] right you make them into the audio and video TS right? [14:25] bill gates = bindows? [14:25] how can i know if a package is installed from command line? how can i list the files that the package installed? [14:25] abhi_nav: yeah windows yar [14:25] fbxxkl: yep. Devede can convert and gernate an dvd ISO file you then burn however you want. [14:25] you'll find it's called "windows" please use the correct name for it [14:25] luist_: dpkg -L packagename [14:25] erUSUL: Hmmm, okay, thanks for the info. [14:25] abhi_nav: yeah . actually iu hate bindows [14:25] fbxxkl: i always test out the dvd.iso in vlc or mplayer befor burning. [14:25] luist_: apt-cache policy packagename [14:25] duli: sudo iwconfig eth0 mode master [14:25] maxwellian: no problem [14:26] ok [14:26] duli: See what that does ^^^ [14:26] abhi_nav: so step first live cd and ubuntu live [14:26] abhijain, :D ok. look so now we follow that guide only. I never need to restore grub. I am just interpreting that guide for you. so 'anything' happends will be fully your responsibily. ok? [14:26] abhijain, ^^ [14:26] where do you get Devede from [14:26] !devede [14:26] is there an apt-get? [14:26] !info devede [14:26] devede (source: devede): simple application to create Video DVDs.

[14:26] abhi_nav: its ok . i am ready [14:26] why is not 3d drivers for intel 945GME for ubuntu? [14:27] fbxxkl: Yes. [14:27] fbxxkl: You might need to enable the multiverse repos first though. [14:27] abhi_nav: ping [14:27] tomatto_: intel driver shopuld support 3d on the card [14:27] abhijain, 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] I see it in the ubuntu software center thats an acceptable place to install from right> [14:28] end-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] fbxxkl: indeed [14:28] abhijain, Note the designation for the disk /dev/sda which you will be using later, and the directory in /media. [14:28] erUSUL: is proprietary drivers for? like for nvidia from nvidia.com ? [14:28] how do i restart x display? [14:28] abhi_nav: can u tell me command for mount [14:28] cool. I am pretty new to ubuntu/linux so I am trying to learn :D [14:28] fbxxkl: That's a great place. [14:28] abhijain, no you first mount it graphically. by going 'Places' menu [14:28] fbxxkl: Sounds like you're picking it up okay. :) [14:29] abhi_nav: ok i check that [14:29] its because of a great community :D [14:29] how do i restart x display? [14:29] !x [14:29] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [14:29] tomatto_: no they are free and come with the system [14:29] On update I got an error report: "E: linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 [14:29] abhijain, mount means just open your ubuntu partition from 'Places' menu.

[14:50] !server | p1l0t [14:50] p1l0t: 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.

[14:51] abhi_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 aparently [14:51] p1l0t, ok [14:52] s3r3n1t7: what do you mean lock yourself out? [14:52] erUSUL: how do you mean that? [14:52] p1l0t, 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] hareldvd: Please post the error message to paste.ubuntu.com [14:53] hareldvd: That way I can have it open in my browser, and we can both have the link. [14:53] Hi all, i am having problems with audio on my laptop in ubuntu 10.04. I can ear music only with my eadphones.. Any tips? [14:53] s3r3n1t7: I am already at that state and I can't get back because editing interfaces does not effect my ifconfig settings..

[14:53] p1l0t, you'll have to reload networking after ... did you also do that? [14:53] p1l0t, 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.

[15:00] maxwellian, 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. I think I can disregard the problem only that the upgrade procedure should also support lilo based boot loader instead of grub.

[15:33] gone , oh well, I've always wanted to say that anyway [15:33] james296: now you know :) [15:33] james296, that would be the mailing lists and #ubuntu-offtopic [15:34] but isnt ubuntu-offtopic reegarding chats not related to ubuntu? hence, offtopic? [15:34] squircle, I have tried all this things, the strange thing is that i can ear good with my phones [15:34] matteo1990: when your headphones are unplugged, can you hear out of the speakers? [15:35] can 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 encrypted [15:35] erUSUL: when i move xorg.conf and restart pc. it still run in failsafe mode graphics [15:35] james296: Yes, its for conversation other than support. [15:35] squircle, no, that's the problem [15:35] abhi_nav: Installation finished. No error reported. [15:35] matteo1990: does it work if you reboot the computer with the headphones unplugged? [15:35] abhijain, just paste the output [15:35] abhijain, using pastebin [15:36] james296: I am going to ask you to stop this out of scope chat. Please join #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss anything else but Ubuntu support. [15:36] abhi_nav:http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Xggpz8Wk [15:37] squircle, i alway boot the pc without headphones. All worked fine 2 days ago, something changed... The only thing i did was changing the input device from alsamixer to use skype... [15:37] abhijain, :( [15:37] abhi_nav: ?? [15:37] abhijain, ok now remove livecd reboot and you should be able to boot into real ubuntu. [15:38] abhi_nav: rebooting ?? [15:38] abi_nav: should need to reboot [15:38] abhijain, yes. restart your computer. remove your ubuntu cd and then you should be able to boot into ubuntu. [15:38] abhi_nav: thanx alot [15:38] abhijain, dont boot intto cd. [15:39] :( [15:41] is it possible to download a package and install it offline? for example - i'm on a mac and don't have a wired connection to download the wireless update (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Lucid#Wireless) [15:42] I have maybe a silly question.. the on-board wireless in my netbook isn't so good.. if I plug in a usb wifi adapter, can I use them both to connect and get a better signal, or can I only use one or the other at a time? [15:43] can 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 encrypted [15:43] blind: 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] yeah, i figured. would be cool, though.. [15:43] what is sabayon? [15:43] abhi_nav: a linux distribution [15:43] DoctorPepper: given the complexity of your particular problem, what about Sabayon is not meeting your needs. [15:43] blind, you will need only use one connection..., not both of them. [15:43] squircle, I see. let me chcecck on net === tyler is now known as Guest88237 [15:44] abhi_nav: a of shot of Gentoo with more of the "normal stuff", read GUI, installed by default.

We can read lowercase too. [15:46] matteo1990, did you check your laptop speaker? is it ok? [15:46] erUSUL ... now my wifi works... because liveCD 10.10 Alpha 1 managed to turn on it via LiveCD [15:46] how is it possible that I was not able to do so?? [15:46] Guest42030, that is not helpful advice. please desist [15:46] I AM SORRY [15:46] wanna install buntu on my bros laptop. which fs should i go for - ext3, ext4, xfs, jfs etc?? considering it's a laptop i'm leaning toward jfs for lower cpu usage... or am i missing something. Any help would be appreciated. [15:46] Guest42030 turn off your caps lock [15:46] Guest42030, please disable the caps [15:46] ok [15:47] DoctorPepper: 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] zors: I'd just use ext4; the CPU usage isn't that high (not much higher than jfs in my experience) [15:47] * rashd7_ how to create a new deskop environment? [15:47] or [15:48] hey guys, i'm having trouble getting 5.1 to work properly on lucid :\ all the results i've found online are outdated [15:48] how to run a custom application say, hello world using gtk run on executing startx [15:48] @squircle: thanks. I'll give it a try [15:48] erUSUL are there any of experienced guys here around now? [15:48] NightKhaos: no [15:48] rashd7_, install it. kubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop [15:49] is it possible to download a package and install it offline? for example - i'm on a mac and don't have a wired connection to download the wireless update (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Lucid#Wireless) [15:50] DoctorPepper: 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] amabo: sure, install them with sudo dpkg -i packagename [15:50] amabo: packages.ubuntu.com. download to USB then use dpkg -i *.deb to install the package on the offline machine [15:50] etrisnanto, they are ok and they worked fine 2 days ago... It's strange there must be some settings that turned off [15:50] amabo, yes.. if you download a deb file.. however you may run into dependency issues. [15:51] amabo: like blind pointed out you will need to download the depends als. packages.ubuntu.com lists them all for you. [15:51] bazhang: i need to create a new desktop environment [15:51] rashd7_, how is that related to Ubuntu support [15:52] abhi_nav: hey really thanx alot [15:52] DoctorPepper: 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] abhijain, can you logint to real ubuntu now? [15:52] abhi_nav: yeah [15:52] abhijain, good. :) [15:52] NightKhaos: thanks for the help [15:52] oh, I have a weird issue.. my on-board wireless shows up as eth3 rather than wlanX and as a result, I don't have a signal percentage..?

[16:07] acovrig: if you want a mailserver with webinterface, try postfix + horde or squirrelmail [16:07] likw the site is in /home/amz/public_html [16:07] iceroot: if I setup *.webhop.org to forward to my router, setup port forwarding to my ubuntu box, can I have username@*.webhop.org [16:08] and my user only needs access to ~/amz/public_html/images [16:08] if i declare a variable in a Makefile called TEST = OPT1 OPT2 and then i would like to know if OPT1 is inside TEST, how can i do this? [16:08] iceroot: yes, squirrelmail is what I've seen with other hostings, how hard is it to setup? [16:08] arg. [16:09] acovrig: dont use mailserver with a dynamic ip [16:09] iceroot: why? [16:09] acovrig: or with a ip from a isp for private connections [16:09] iceroot: dyndns.org>comcast [16:09] acovrig: most mailservers are filtering mails coming from a specific ip range [16:10] acovrig: mailservers are using the ip [16:10] so does no one have ANY tips on how to get 5.1 working. i've tried every fix i can find, so much so that now my sound doesn't even work at all :| [16:10] etrisnanto, under output i have selected internal audio analog stereo, is this ok?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [16:44] acovrig: "a2enmod php5" but you'd better "/join #httpd" for apache2 questions [16:44] here for kubuntu is the right channel?

[16:46] tucemiux: thank you buddy [16:46] Natanaiel, yes but it's tricky [16:46] tucemiux: how? [16:46] Natanaiel, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [16:46] Natanaiel, if it helps any -- the same thing happened to me, I had to use the forums and the thread on partition recovery helped me recover the partition [16:47] hi, i've followed the community guide for gitosis at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git and i'm having problems creating my on repos [16:48] every time i try to push changes for a new repo, it tells me "Repository read access denied" [16:48] tucemiux: what did u do exactly? [16:48] llutz: 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] abhi_nav: but test disk is for deleted partition not, reformatted [16:48] funkyHat: libapache2-mod-php5 [16:48] (acovrig, that is) [16:48] llutz: yes I know [16:49] Natanaiel, hmmm may be [16:49] Natanaiel, 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 recover [16:49] hi, what is the recommended method for upgrading from hardly (8.04 LTS) to lucid (10.04 LTS) ? [16:50] tucemiux: what's the name of that utility?! [16:50] (note: I currently have no X installed) [16:51] Hi 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] Natanaiel, 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 works [16:51] tonsofpcs: update to 9.10 THEN to 10.04 [16:51] My problem is my box keeps resetting the gfx card now when it comes up. [16:51] what's wrong with ubuntu.osuosl.org mirror? [16:52] tuv: nothing. [16:52] tucemiux: but u undelete your deleted partition not reformatted! [16:52] I'm getting at it fine. [16:52] tuv: looks fine here [16:52] indrora: so 8.04 (hardy) > 9.10 (intrepid?) > 10.04 (lucid) ? [16:52] i get: server not found here [16:53] Natanaiel, I reformatted my hard drive with data on it :-( [16:53] i can get to www.osuosl.org, but not ubuntu.osuosl.org [16:53] tonsofpcs: 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] tuv: Who's your DNS? [16:53] tuv: DNS or ISP -- sounds like they need to be complained to [16:54] 'cause I can get at it fine. [16:54] i've been using this mirror for a while. it was working! [16:54] Is there a way that I can find I package in Synaptic that I just recently installed? [16:55] tuv: can you get to http://slackware.osuosl.org/ ? [16:55] tucemiux, i can get @ ubuntu.osuosl.org, no problem [16:55] indrora: so how do i do that? update apt.sources to have intrepid, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, repeat for lucid? [16:55] Does 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] tonsofpcs: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades <-- [16:56] ah, was looking for that, thanks :) [16:56] tonsofpcs: that has a "8.04 to 10.04" [16:56] andyltm: mine lists all cores as separate procs [16:56] tonsofpcs: I see... [16:56] i remove all gnome stuff ,how enable sound anyway? [16:56] indrora: hmm.. no [16:57] hey i'm trying to remix an ubuntu and it worked for a few times but now i get "Authentication failure" and it's repeating when it's booted up , and i cant do anything [16:57] it shows physicalid the same for all cores but increments the coreid and apicid [16:57] tonsofpcs, 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 bugs [16:57] how do I forward mail (when I ssh, it says 'You have new mail') to a gmail account? [16:57] note that i don't have two procs but just two cores [16:57] tuv: then its something unrelated to the mirror as I can get to them no problem [16:58] hi, i've followed the community guide for gitosis at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git and i'm having problems creating my repos. every time i try to push changes for a new repo, it tells me "Repository read access denied" i've followed the guide perfectly and can't fine anything wrong with the documentation. i've enabled debug on the logging [16:58] BigWookie, so you cant log in?

I donn't have X installed [16:59] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/eQQV6Wf7 - Does that report 2GB RAM in your opinion? [16:59] lrb: I want other accents too because they're used in my mother tongue :) [16:59] tucemiux: i don't even get to the login, im on a live cd which has the standard ubuntu login mechanism (console ) which should just log me in without a password [17:00] llutz: where is that? [17:00] michel_v: ah, I see, yes that layout is just for simple use cases ,sorry [17:00] llutz: not /usr/share/doc [17:00] BigWookie, that's a little different, that info could be useful, have you tried logging in without username/password? or try su or root with a blank password [17:01] acovrig: what mta/mda are you using? === K4k_ is now known as K4k_Mobile [17:03] tucemiux: there is no password input, normally i just get to the tty without entering anything, and I cant enter anything even now [17:03] ah, got it :) [17:04] BigWookie, do you have another OS installed in your machine? it sounds like a known bug that has to do with the time on the other OS or the BIOS, check the time on both the BIOS and whatever OS you have installed, first check the oS then the bios [17:04] canal español, please?

You may need to load a module for it [18:28] Muzer: I know but here it does not [18:28] what are the elements do i have to learn in ubuntu-beginer? channls [18:28] abhi_nav: fdisk -l is not listing my internal drives [18:28] I have this problem with several usb drive [18:28] hey guys trying to install ubuntu on linux and then bind it to active directory for a single sign-on. I have been messing around with likewise open source. i was wandering if any of you awesome people had any experience doing the same thing and can point me in the right direction. I am very new at this. Any help would be much appreciated. [18:28] hmm [18:28] grekkos, that I dunno. [18:29] grekkos, busy [18:29] solidturtle: it should do it already, you can check any recent activity by doing 'dmesg | tail' in a !terminal, then plugging it in, and comparing 'dmesg | tail' after you plug it in [18:29] samba on ubuntu* [18:29] h00k: ok I will test [18:29] Hi all! what's best program to download mp3 at Ubuntu? [18:29] slidinghorn: do I need SMTP? [18:30] osmario: download from where? [18:30] !best|osmario [18:30] osmario: 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. [18:31] acovrig, 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] actually, it's simple mail transfer protocol I believe [18:31] just nitpicking :P [18:31] My 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] slidinghorn: when I installed imap, it remove smtp [18:31] download from net. I am using Nicotine but sometimes it's poor and slow === Im is now known as Guest91592 [18:32] you don't need smtp, I think, if you have IMAP - do not quote me on this, however [18:32] Muzer: sorry that didn't work. i thought module parameters were worth a shot, good luck with backports or latest-source from alsa. [18:32] acovrig, what delivery agent did you use? [18:32] Alguém do Brasil? [18:32] slidinghorn: delivery agent? [18:32] thune3: 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? [18:33] acovrig, it's explained in the mailserver howto you were following [18:33] How can I figure out where grub installed itself? [18:33] slidinghorn: `apt-get install postfix` [18:33] What other gwibber alternatives can you recommend because I can't seem to add my FB account. [18:34] Muzer: do you have a link for the source you need to compile? [18:34] acovrig, 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] thune3: Not at the moment - it's usually just included with the kernel, in Ubuntu at least, I believe [18:34] acovrig, you should read further down in that howto...it tells you about dovecot, etc... [18:35] is 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 problems [18:35] 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] guys 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 found [18:35] (but not any other package) [18:36] slidinghorn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer just confuzes me === taroven|Rawr is now known as taroven === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [18:38] slidinghorn: what do I need for IMAP?

[18:53] if it was part of ALSA, it would work [18:53] but it depends on ALSA [18:54] mkquist: in the past, that guide has helped me recover grub, right now it is not working for me [18:54] after doing sudo dpkg -i , do i need to run apt-get update (or upgrade) in order for it to take effect?

It makes things easier for everyone to follow :) [18:59] slidinghorn thx for the tip [19:00] grekkos, did you put your ubuntu install in the first partition , before the windows partition ? It's preferable to put windows first. [19:00] Muzer: oh, it is not part of alsa then. I'm not clear on why alsa-backports would want to include it. That module is part of the kernel. You are saying it doesn't load? [19:00] BluesKaj: ubuntu is on a separate, external hard drive... which is where I'm guessing the grub menu is located [19:00] BluesKaj, why? it seemed to work better for me to install windows after ubuntu [19:01] thune3: It doesn't load when alsa-backports is installed [19:01] as the versions are then mismatched === david is now known as Guest46978 [19:01] any good free linux-gamesites?

[19:03] grekkos, oh , that's different , i'm sorry for interfering , i should have read your prob more closely, not familiar with grub on outboard drives. [19:03] Muzer: i think the right option for a failed version check is " --force-modversion" [19:03] hey all, what to do if KDM does not start and Xorg.0.log tells nvidia driver could not be loaded (nv 6600gt, kubuntu lucid latest dist-upgrade) [19:04] grekkos, why did they change grub?

[19:04] BluesKaj: that's the problem, there's not much written about it online. the grub menu was working great until I installed the ubuntu updates [19:04] thune3: OK, I'll give it a try [19:04] greg_: that's also what I'm looking for [19:05] Muzer: make sure to run "sync" beforehand, to minimize the potential filesystem problems that might occur if the kernel crashes. [19:05] i'm trying to install the wireless package for macbooks manually but it's not being updated (after a dpkg install using http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/bcmwl-kernel-source) - any insight? [19:05] will do [19:05] I'm using ext4, so crashes are handled quite well - but better safe than sorry in any case. [19:06] greg_: you can try #grub I'm also in there trying for answers [19:07] grekkos, thanks will do [19:07] Is there a way to check if a user has the right to run a command without running it?

[19:49] sobersabre, so what you remember is not right [19:49] hsa2: what windowing manager are you using: metacity/afterstep/windowmaker? [19:49] i'ld be very glad if anyone could tell me why installing the generic-phc-kernel disabled the 'e' letter in the console. 'E' is working, and 'e' is working for root [19:49] sobersabre, compiz is a windowmanager itself [19:50] X-warrior, yes. using lockdown [19:50] hsa2: You might look into adding the window to the widget layer so you can bring up all the windows on the widget layer even if it's just one [19:50] sebsebseb: yes, it works again now... but it's strange because is the same kernel, but another package (maybe compiled with other options) [19:50] hsa2: ok. apt-cache show wmctrl [19:50] soreau, oh, that may do the work, i'll try [19:50] sebsebseb, ahh, ok :) [19:50] sobersabre: Yes, and it's still a compositing wm ;) [19:51] anyone having issues with monit on 10.04?

[19:53] Hawaiian_Eskimo: building commercial software usually has instructions. which ones are you using ? [19:53] -.- [19:53] Hawaiian_Eskimo: uhmm why not just use Virtualbox instead? [19:53] if someone asks "are you using X" whats an easy way to find out.. i.e. "are you using dconf" [19:53] Hawaiian_Eskimo: Virtualbox is normally what gets recommended in here, when it comes to virtulization [19:54] how come it take so long for the java client to start on Ubuntu10l04? [19:54] 10.04* [19:54] sobersabre: the ones on the site. is there a way of starting virtualbox automatically without a GUI? [19:54] Hawaiian_Eskimo: you're asking a lot of lmgtfy questions. [19:54] Hawaiian_Eskimo: don't want a GUI uhmm maybe your after KVM [19:54] Hi [19:54] Hawaiian_Eskimo: also yeah I think there is a way to do Virtualbox without a GUI [19:55] !kvm | Hawaiian_Eskimo [19:55] Hawaiian_Eskimo: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [19:55] VB can be started without gui on linux (Easier than on windows) [19:55] sebsebseb, how come it takes java so long to start up on ubuntu10.04?

[19:55] zela: don't know, could just be your compputer [19:55] anyone know a good way to get the /chanserv (for example) command working with IRCD-hybrid and hybserv? I have the servers up and running happily but would like to get the /chanserv working instead of having to /msg chanserv [19:55] k [19:55] zela: my java starts quickly. what times are you talking about ? [19:56] !details | Digital_rouge [19:56] Digital_rouge: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:56] sobersabre, mine takes like a little. [19:56] zela: I don't know that time unit "like a little". [19:56] well I go to youtube I got sound but no video and if I try to make full screen flash crashes [19:56] sobersabre, like a min or so [19:57] zela: are you running java application or just java compiler or what ? [19:57] sobersabre, like the java chat IRC [19:57] ok I am running newest version of ubuntu newest version of firefox 3.6.6 after the recent update to ff flash crashes but will play audio [19:57] I'm trying to remove a partition on a thumb drive with gparted but the option to delete is not highlighted, what am i doing wrong? [19:57] got a friend trying to send me a file via irc, i can see his offereing but it fails to send.. anyone know what we are doing wrong? [19:57] zela: usually IRC java client is downloaded from the internet. so what slows it down is usually the downloading. [19:58] k [19:58] also, why are you using java irc client?! [19:58] there are so many better options. like irssi. [19:58] how do you map network drive on ubuntu [19:58] treble: you use "Places" entry in the top menu.... [19:58] sobersabre, I use Xchat, irssi isnt my taste [19:59] zela: Xchat is also workable with. [19:59] uborttu abd sebseseb did you get that? [19:59] but irssi is far more convenient. [19:59] sobersabre, indeed [19:59] xchat is nice [19:59] sobersabre, what do you mean? [19:59] irssi+screen is nice though [19:59] hey guys. [19:59] What is common value for "hdparm -B"? [19:59] Jibadeeha: it is THE way. [20:00] mattmacman: hey guy. [20:00] ...usual value... [20:00] Do you know if lockdown works with ubuntu server and console? === darkscrypt_ is now known as darkscrypt [20:00] I'm trying to remove a partition on a thumb drive with gparted but the option to delete is not highlighted, what am i doing wrong? [20:00] clayg, do you still have the drive mounted? [20:00] clayg: are you sure you're running the gparted as administrative user ? [20:01] yah file transfers in irc arent working for us.. anyone got a primer on howto do it again, only been 20 years since Ive used irc for filetransfer [20:01] sobersabre, running it from commandline with sudo in front [20:01] so if i disable acpi, will that make my laptop likely to overheat [20:01] and you better umount the drive like Mr_Sonoma says! [20:01] Mr_Sonoma, i do [20:01] does acpi help regulate temprature [20:01] thats usually my dumb mistake then its OH! YEA! [20:01] Mr_Sonoma, When I unmounted it seemed like gparted couldn't find it [20:01] darkscrypt: acpi allows you to control this via software - change modes of operation, etc. [20:02] thune3 i reinstalled every pakage calling nvidia but with same result [20:02] dont power it down (safely remove or how ever ubuntu says) but unmount [20:02] but temperature control, power, etc. are controlled by the hardware itself. [20:02] so disabling it in the kernal bios, would this cause my laptop to be able to overheat [20:02] i have a bug with the go-home-applet, when i start my computer, everytime y open any application it send me back to the start page, anyone knows how can i repair this? [20:02] i did it on my last laptop, and i started to overheat all the time soon after [20:02] darkscrypt: I don't think so. [20:02] I am running uuntu 10.04 I am using firefox 3.6.6 when I try to view a video on youtube I get sound but no video when I try to use any othe the controls the flash plug in crases [20:02] Digital_rouge: oh right [20:02] So you guys are all Ubuntu users....

[20:03] !pm > Digital_rouge [20:03] Digital_rouge, please see my private message [20:03] sobersabre, thanks [20:04] clayg: some drives have "read-only" switch. are you sure yours doesn't have it turned on ? [20:04] Digital_rouge: altough I guess the pm was to get my attention [20:04] Digital_rouge: seems quite a few people are having those kind of issues [20:04] yes it was [20:04] Well I have some problems trying to boot Ubuntu on my Mac [20:04] sobersabre, I dont know, how do I check that [20:04] and its hard to keep up with all the text in here [20:04] clayg: you take your eyes off the monitor, and look at the drive.... [20:04] clayg, i have found the disk utility under SYSTEM > ADMINISTRATION fairly easy to use and effective [20:05] Traveler6: someone might have an answer. Since kernel upgrades within an ubuntu release are ususally minor, I would suggest reverting/booting to a kernel version that works. [20:05] sobersabre, sorry for my ignorance, i just never have seen a "read only" switch on a thumbdrive [20:05] if you see a small switch, it is it. [20:05] well was working fine till the update [20:05] Digital_rouge: I had issues with Flash in Ubuntu myself, the distro I am currently on, not Ubuntu, works quite well for Flash. Anyway its worth trying another browser if your getting Flash issues in Ubuntu. [20:05] sobersabre, ok took my eyes off monitor and look, no switch - === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [20:05] sebsebseb I had them to when I started but everythign worked fine til the damn update [20:05] Mr_Sonoma, I will try that, tha nks [20:05] Digital_rouge: Firefox and Flash and Ubuntu and yeah issues sometimes, but another browser instead, and Flash will probably work fine all or most of the time. [20:05] Does anybody know what I can do? I get the 10.10 start up....then I hear the chime. Then I get 2 items on the screen. No menu bar.... [20:06] sobersabre, did you have a solutuion if the switch was not present or were you just curious? [20:06] !10.10 | mattmacman [20:06] mattmacman: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:06] Thanks. [20:06] sebsebseb give suggestions for browser then [20:06] mattmacman: np [20:06] How about 10.04 [20:06] sebsebseb: the VNC stuff seems wrong.. one case it says port 5500 the other 5900 ?? [20:06] clayg, no problem. graphical is often easier although not as option filled as command line. but after making a few mistakes on command line if i can do it graphically I try as its more idiot proof LOL [20:06] Mr_Sonoma, I am in that utility but do not see partitions mentioned, ill look again [20:07] bcurtiswx3: one is the server port, and the other is the viewer port, or whatever it was [20:07] Digital_rouge: yeah [20:07] clayg: if the switch is present, you need to turn it off to be able to write. [20:07] sobersabre, it is not [20:07] Digital_rouge: Konqueror is my favourite secondary browser, but thats a KDE app [20:07] ok. [20:07] how do i get to the grub menu in ubuntu [20:07] so, is the drive mounted or not ? [20:07] it skips it. [20:07] clayg, you have to click on the drive you want to work on in the column in the left [20:07] Mr_Sonoma, I see format, unmount, safe removal benchmark - my only choices from what it looks like [20:07] Digital_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] then all kinds of options come up [20:07] well do you know of anywher ei can download the old version of ff? [20:07] Mr_Sonoma, checknigs [20:08] Digital_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] clayg: unmount first, then run gparted as root. [20:08] Mr_Sonoma, listed those options - didn't see any thing about paritions [20:08] Digital_rouge: and there are some other browsers as well that aren't mentioned in this factoid. [20:08] sobersabre, will retry that [20:08] !browsers | Digital_rouge [20:08] Digital_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) [20:09] Does anybody know if there is a Mac OS X channel? [20:09] sebsebseb: the list doesn't show chromium or google chrome. [20:09] update it :) [20:09] sobersabre, having the same effect, unmounting first then sudo gparted does not list it and doesn't find it [20:09] clayg, hold on i'll upload a screen shot of what i'm talking about [20:09] sobersabre: I can't not an op. also I don't like chormeium or Chrome much anyway :) [20:09] Firefox :) [20:10] ok well im kinda tryin to use the firefox I have a seconadry right now , im gonna try and fix the flash crash issue with the new update [20:10] good bye guys [20:10] Mr_Sonoma, thanks I'll grab one of what I'm looking at also where do you host pix? [20:10] clayg: there's "Refresh" or "Rescan" option in Gparted. [20:10] how do i get to the grub menu in ubuntu [20:10] Mr_Sonoma: ##mac and I think theres ##macos [20:10] sobersabre, yes did not find it after clicking it [20:10] Mr_Sonoma: ##macosx I mean maybe not [20:10] clayg: can you simply switch the usb socket ? [20:10] darkscrypt: hold down esc when the computer boots [20:10] it wont go =( i dont understand this sucks. [20:10] maybe you have something gone wrong with it. [20:11] sobersabre, me no good with words, switch you mean put it in a different one? [20:11] the computer fails to boot with acpi enabled [20:11] sorry, that switch word had me confused before thinking you meant a - switch [20:11] i can boot live cd [20:11] but not with acpi [20:11] switch means change to similar, but another. right ? [20:11] me no good with words 2. [20:11] sobersabre, can i accomplish that by plugging the usb drive into a different usb port? [20:12] anyone caring 4 bugs in 2.6..32-23-generic-phc ? [20:12] Mr_Sonoma, where do you host pix? [20:12] clayg: sounds what I said, but in your own tongue. [20:12] sobersabre, lemme give that a shot [20:12] don't shoot it! [20:12] just a sec i've got several accounts i gotta find one that's not full [20:12] lol [20:12] after wards i will unmount and sudo gparted? [20:12] just take it out, and put it into another usb port. [20:13] then run "refresh" or "rescan" option in the gparted(you don't have to kill or shoot it) [20:13] sobersabre, oh ok, after should i unmount it and run gparted as root? [20:13] if i move some files from /usr/bin to a new one like /usr/binPrivileged and in .profile I just add the /usr/binPrivileged to some users. (lets supposed that I did this with who file), so Just the users that have the /usr/binPrivileged can use this command? [20:13] I am a debian user thinking of defecting to ubunutu. First though, what version of KDE4 is in kubuntu? [20:14] sobersabre, no it seems to do the same thing [20:14] very strange [20:14] clayg: can you look at your system log ? [20:14] maybe your flash drive is not working well. [20:14] hi i want to know how to mount iso files in gui mode plz guide me [20:14] psych787: KDE 4.4 [20:14] sobersabre, where is that located? [20:15] sobersabre, other functions work without a problem but I do have the type of luck where it is very possible [20:15] System->ADminstration->Log File Viewer. [20:15] hi i want to know how to mount iso files in gui mode plz guide me [20:15] sebsebseb: Thanks. [20:15] psych787: in 10.04 [20:15] sobersabre, ok im in it [20:15] http://76.202.183.248/utility.png [20:16] clayg: do you happen to know which device file is your flash drive located at ? [20:16] hi i want to know how to mount iso files in gui mode plz guide me [20:16] Mr_Sonoma: your own web server? [20:16] (it's usually /dev/sd [20:16] when I post to mailing lists can I attach files if the output is too big? [20:16] Prabs: Right click and choose open with archive mounter, I believe [20:16] and sometimes in the end.) [20:16] sobersabre, i will check [20:17] yea, usually just share that with family, but couldnt find a account that wasnt full [20:17] sobersabre, looks like sbd1 [20:17] you mean sdb1 [20:18] well, choose debug log file, and look for the keyword "sdb1" [20:19] hm... now let me ask you a Q: did you try to do whatever you want, and got some kind of error, or does what you see not look exactly as you want it to ? [20:19] (I mean in GParted) [20:22] Hi, [20:22] I have a problem upgrading to karmic from jaunty [20:23] Hello, 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] when I do do-release-upgrade, it fails when installing initscripts [20:23] the error I get is update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/single: file does not exists [20:23] hi, 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] anybody know how to solve that? [20:24] i am trying to mount a smb share and its saying share is write protected mounting read only, cannot mount block device as read only [20:24] AhmedBH: is it possible you upgraded or reinstalled over old installation or /home folder or partition ?

[20:25] jbremer: uhmm [20:25] sobersabre: 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 luck [20:25] AhmedBH: is it possible you did something inside that directory as root? [20:26] jbremer: 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] or copied something from another user ? [20:26] sobersabre: let me think..what could that be well i guess i didnt done something wrong being on root [20:26] sobersabre: i just usually run update and thats it [20:26] AhmedBH: make sure all the files (and the home dir itself) belongs to the user... [20:26] jbremer: another reason to clean install the OS after malware, is to make sure that no one malicious is using your computer [20:26] sebsebseb: 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] do you know how to do this ? [20:27] jbremer: did you get a virus on linux ?! cool!!!! [20:27] what virus was it ? [20:27] sobersabre: yes they must be there but when i try to enter from another partation or user account i cant really access them [20:27] sobersabre: its encrypted i guess [20:27] sobersabre: No, it's under Windows, I'm trying to use Linux to remove it. Sorry if I was indistinct. [20:27] sobersabre: no they got Spyware on Windows [20:27] encryped?! hm..... === ryaxnb is now known as ubotu === ubotu is now known as ryaxnb [20:28] AhmedBH: so, who is the owner of the home folder of the user you cannot use ? [20:29] its me but i had that folder $HOME encrypted when i installed lucid since on === xand_ is now known as Guest95010 [20:29] AhmedBH: Ok, and when you are logging in, does the system ask you the $HOME password ?

[20:30] sobersabre: just the login screen asks for the password i see nothing else no panels no icons but in (back ground the OS is completely running) i can even see the terminal and everything but only a wallpaper nothing more and errros on nautilos [20:30] amereservant: theres an option that lets you have it like the desktop version, but I don't know how [20:31] i am trying to mount a smb share and its saying share is write protected mounting read only, cannot mount block device as read only [20:31] sebsebseb, Ahhh.

[20:34] holaa tengo probmas con firefox y youtube [20:34] do i need to remove the bottom panel if i like to use a dock like in macosx , is there any recommendations for docks ? [20:34] sebsebseb, Alright, I'll do a little more searching for it and if I can't find it, I'll uninstall it and install Desktop.

I have no root [21:12] hellothere: dont start every exe you got is a good start but its not affecting the linux-system [21:12] ad7daut7: you have to edit it with correct privileges: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:12] hi [21:12] slidinghorn: ow :) [21:13] iceroot, thanks [21:13] kyle_: Run as single-user mode and re-add yourself.

[21:13] io: ubunti noob... how do? [21:13] hellothere: Aslong as you are running Wine as a regular user then the worst that could happen is it might affect your home directories - just make sure you are not running it with super-user privalidges. [21:14] kyle_: Hold down the Shift key during bootup, when the grub menu shows up select Recovery Mode. [21:14] hello I have just tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 and I am unable to use either system. It seems that this is the only distro that disables my Logitech bluetooth keyboard and mouse during the boot process is there any way to get this working so I can at least try out Ubuntu? [21:14] ad7daut7, actually...hold on...i'll just edit it and give you something to copy and paste [21:14] iceroot ok its the only post that tells how to force the MacBook to use the synaptic driver for the mouse [21:14] janjiss whats the problem [21:14] iceroot so where is a new post? [21:14] iceroot there isn't one [21:14] TY ALL :) PROBLEM SOLVED [21:14] Aethnen: i dont use mac, so i dont know :) [21:14] bsmith093: Hi ,there is no problem, just need little help, thats all :) [21:15] hellothere: probably not much reason to run a browser in wine unless you use ie for testing purposes as a web developer but then if it's your content hopefully you aren't intentionally trying to infect yourself [21:15] iceroot neither do I. I'm doing this for a friend. [21:15] with what [21:15] kyle_: what did you actually do, did you delete the admin group, or remove yourself from that group?

I want to share folders directly from nautilus, but the option is not there when I am not root. [21:15] funkyhat: went to User settings. Clicked Manage groups and deleted 2nd down, Admin I think. [21:16] kyle_: well done!ok, what's your username? [21:16] hellothere: I also can't see much reason for running untrusted apps in wine when such great software exists for native linux/ubuntu [21:16] thought it was relevent to selected user ! [21:16] Aethnen: i am not sure if you have to put some string about auto in the xorg, so tell xorg that the rest is using autodetect [21:16] username is kyle [21:16] is there a way to md5sum recursively ~12000+ files to check for duplicates also check by names [21:16] Aethnen: if i remeber correctly there was something like that but dont get it at the moment [21:17] hellothere: That is why I said 'could' - there are numerous results on Google explaining the possibilities of that happening on Wine, read something like http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/42031. [21:17] iceroot ok. well that confuses me a little [21:17] bsmith093: you could use bash scripting to do that, check out #bash and see if anyone would be willing to help you [21:17] FunkyHat: Usernme is kyle [21:17] Anyone know any software that orgainizes your movie collection, renaming movie folder ect ect? [21:17] thanks h00k [21:17] Hi, I'm upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 and my dvd burner stop working.

[21:17] bsmith093: good luck. Although, I highly doubt you're going to run into md5sum collisions [21:18] does anyone know how to get 10.04 working with a logitech bluetooth keyboard and mouse? [21:18] bsmith093: It will sound ridiculous, but i want somone to rewiew my english, I want to know that i speek clearly. Please take few mins here http://openathena.org/node/15 [21:18] p.s I can't belive it would allow a change like this with sudo password. [21:18] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html [21:18] kyle_: ok, in your live CD, can you open the filesystem that's root on your actual system, and then open the file etc/group [21:18] mtellez: sometimes hardware support brakes on upgrades [21:18] how open this ebuntu ? [21:18] kyle_ sudo can let you do about anything [21:18] if is git:// [21:18] janjiss: this isn't the place for something like that, you could bring it up in #ubuntu-offtopic, but this channel is for Ubuntu support only [21:19] ebuntu: I didn't login as root [21:19] iceroot "The day the community died" (when canotical took over) [21:19] kyle_: sudo is "do this as root" [21:19] ninja'd [21:19] Andre_Gondim: yeah, take that to offtopic and not on the support-channel [21:19] funkyhat: OK, then [21:19] :P [21:19] kyle_: you typed in your password in the box that said "you need to authenticate to modify the system configuration" [21:19] h00k: Sorry, didn't know, Thanks [21:19] hi, will using the command 'ulimit -c unlimited' set the highest possible values for the ulimit paramters? [21:19] Andre_Gondim: sorry wrong nick [21:20] kyle_: you have a point though, it's not a very well designed interface... it does look like it could be related to the user you clicked on [21:20] ok [21:20] kyle_: ok, in that file can you search for the number 115? [21:20] sebsebseb, I google a bit and find many people with the same problem, but witout answer, what should I do? kernel downgrade perhaps? [21:21] *REPOST* I'm trying to back up my netbook to my laptop, ubuntu to windows, via ssh but on the windows side it keeps stopping after a while to ask for my pass again, how do I stop that from happening? [21:21] mtellez: no [21:21] mtellez: not kernel downgrade, Ubuntu version downgrade with a clean install back to 9.10 yes maybe [21:21] mtellez: and anyway 9.10 is better than 10.04 in quite a few ways really [21:21] ebuntu how check what a graphicsa i have ? [21:21] in linux [21:21] what drivers [21:21] funkyhat: I'm sure I didn't type my password in to delete the admin group. I'll have to try again in my VM. but this change was live :(.. What do I do once the groups file is open. Do you have the default group settings or something? [21:22] funkyhat: soz 1 sec didn't see comment [21:22] !tab | kyle_, this will save you from having to type nicknames [21:22] kyle_, this will save you from having to type nicknames: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:22] kyle_: you will have unlocked the user settings app at some point before that then, or perhaps another system settings dialogue [21:22] YOU KNOW WHAT UBUNTU SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL HELP HOPE YOU LIKE MY SARCASAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:22] Bazinga [21:23] tomasz, to be honest, i have no idea how to see what drivers you have installed [21:23] :/ [21:23] xD [21:23] kyle_: don't worry if you don't find it, in fact I'm kind of hoping you don't find it ;) [21:23] oki [21:23] sebsebseb, ok, thanks for the help :-) [21:23] what is the best distro for a 2gb persistant linux [21:23] can some else here help tomasz out?

What do I do if it's missing? [21:25] ifanchoo, that's a little off topic for this channel, but it all depends on what you want to do with it. What's best for one person could be completely useless to another. I'd check out the bestbot in #ubuntu-bots and do some researching on http://www.distrowatch.com :) [21:25] mouse movement is super fast under ubuntu remix, any reasons why? [21:25] kyle_: that's the (I think) standard group number for admin, I just need you to check there isn't another group with number 115 before you recreate it [21:26] hey can anyone direct me on installing programs for ubuntu? having trouble getting any downloaded apps (google earth) to work. [21:26] funkyhat: i'm rebooting into liveCD now, see you on the other side. [21:26] tomasz: in aterminal type lspci | grep VGA [21:26] i like the mint distro but is way too big for a pendrive [21:26] that will tell you your hardware [21:26] at least for a 2gb [21:26] oki thx [21:26] mtellez: seriosuly [21:26] firefox crashed D= [21:26] mtellez: nothing wrong with clean installing and putting 9.10 back on, and its still supported untill the end of April next year. Newer is not always better! [21:27] *REPOST* I'm trying to back up my netbook to my laptop, ubuntu to windows, via ssh but on the windows side it keeps stopping after a while to ask for my pass again, how do I stop that from happening? === hsa2|gone is now known as hsa2 [21:27] if you're looking for something you can run off a pendrive, you might want to take a look at something like damn small linux. i find some good comparisons usually by googling something like "damn small linux vs" and seeing what folks compare it to [21:27] ifanchoo, ^^ [21:27] i write but nothing in result show [21:27] i put ubuntu 10.04 lts on my pendrive [21:28] !usb > ifanchu [21:28] twoten dont write anything [21:28] ifanchoo, see this too: [21:28] in result [21:28] !usb > ifanchoo [21:28] ifanchoo, please see my private message [21:28] tomasz: try just lspci [21:29] sebsebseb, thanks again, my backup's are still fresh so I'll follow you advice ;-) [21:29] twoten oh now see all drivers and vga too [21:29] its corret my graphic [21:30] ShapeShifter499: use an ssh key and pagent?

[21:30] tomasz: that's your hardware - now look under System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [21:31] funkyHat: uh... [21:31] ebuntu glsgears its work ok i see gears how works [21:31] then you have opengl installed correctly, so thats not the problem [21:31] towten in harders driver i see only modem drivers [21:32] ShapeShifter499: 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 password [21:32] sebsebseb, a wise advice by the way lol [21:32] funkyhat: in liveCD [21:32] mkquist: ubuntu needs 1gb but is this include some updates [21:32] kyle_: hi!

[22:30] tomasz: what are you trying to do [22:30] ? [22:30] drazak: you can go into xorg.conf but idk how [22:30] Ebuntu: right, because the live cd has an xorg.conf [22:30] Ebuntu: woulda done that if it used one [22:30] f 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] If 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 Mes [22:31] Ebuntu: the live cd and most ubuntu installs run in a .confless configuration, that I'm not familiar with [22:31] http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=2599&iVersionId=3780&iThreadId=57957 [22:31] drazak: soory :/ [22:31] #amarok [22:31] i can be patience but not like that [22:31] Ebuntu: it's cool, I figure there's a way to do it though, I just don't know it [22:32] i m for my answer from half an hour [22:32] bore [22:32] and i have this http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=2599&iVersionId=3780&iThreadId=52510 [22:32] i can't compile this package [22:32] !attitude > azeryu [22:32] azeryu, please see my private message [22:32] azeryu you have to ask a question before it can be answered [22:32] yes of course i feel ignored [22:32] there is a limit in everything === oooo is now known as Guest69604 [22:33] time left [22:33] i compile my package i can't understand what 's wrong [22:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/459596/ [22:33] what's wrong ?

[23:01] what does ";" mean when placed in front of a line in smb.conf? [23:01] Bragex9, it's a comment [23:01] sebsebseb yes still here [23:01] burt_: in reply to your question, the drivers are propritary and so for legal reasons, they won't be installed by default [23:01] hi expo i did and still didnt open the file [23:01] Bragex9, as in - it comments out that line. Similar to # [23:02] burt_: proprtary closed source [23:02] so, im lookin at the irc/bots page, is there a list of commands somewhere? === staticsafe is now known as staticsafe|Away [23:02] Bragex9, you're welcome :) [23:02] Ebuntu, yep - http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Commands === pj is now known as Guest48660 [23:02] it saying the volume error [23:02] just installed k9copy. i can't find it in the menu(s) :( [23:02] where would i look?

[23:04] josedose, from that vague information, I am assuming you are trying to uncompress a game file that's a rar archive. Sounds to me that the rar archive (ie volume) is corrupt. [23:04] I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 in dual boot with Xp.... When I start my computer the visual effects are turned off in order to turn them on I need to uninstall and reinstall the Nvidia driver..... I don't know if this is a software issue or hardware issue..... Ne ideas [23:04] Bragex9, precisely. [23:04] so lets see [23:04] 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] !hi | Ebuntu [23:04] Ebuntu, please see my private message [23:05] tom__594, go to the hardware drivers bit in the System Administration area and enable the nvidia drivers. [23:05] ok so its not good then [23:05] It is enabled..... Has the green dot [23:05] tom__594, then reboot and it'll be using those drivers [23:05] Anyone using bacula? I'm trying to figure out how to back up my postgres db. [23:06] tom__594, silly question - you're not using Ubuntu Netbook Edition are you? [23:06] ???? [23:06] and if I'm using the postgres version of backula, can it still backup the other postgres db's? [23:06] I can't get my display to run at any resolution above 640x480. nvidia proprietary driver. [23:06] Im using the version to get of the website through windows loader for pc [23:06] tom__594, erm... what? [23:06] iso it wont work then need a better file [23:07] josedose, sounds to me like it. However, I'm guessing based on the very vague information you've given me [23:07] and after reinstall and restart it works perfectly but when I restart after that it stops but is still showing the driver in use [23:08] tom__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 drivers [23:08] I want to start checking out Empathy with git instead of using Ubuntu's repos. Just to double check, I shouold uninstall from Ubuntu's repos and then install from git for a proper installation, correct? [23:08] where are the boot logs kept [23:08] dasgewitter, is this for personal amusement purposes? [23:08] if i run cat /proc/modules part of the output contains lots of parts like 0xffffffffa010d000 . can i use this to find out more information about the device? [23:08] bsmith093, /var/log/messages [23:08] ty [23:09] willwork4foo, do you mean for using git, or for double checking here? [23:09] dasgewitter, using git? === PHANTOM is now known as Guest77811 [23:09] tom__594: uhmm [23:09] tom__594: use the Nividia driver from repo so system > administration > hardware drivers [23:09] tom__594: if you get from Nivida directly you are likely to get problems [23:09] I was merely curious - I see people wanting to shoehorn in non-ubuntu package management when apt is excellent IMHO [23:09] how do I remove "package manager lock"? [23:09] willwork4foo, well, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and the repos have an old(er) version of Empathy than what is currently available [23:10] willwork4foo, so, I'd just like to keep up to date. [23:10] synaptic, updater and aptitude all refuse to work... [23:10] dasgewitter, ah ok fair enough === Guest77811 is now known as Black_Phantom [23:10] that's what i do and it installs the Nvidia Xserver [23:10] daedaluz, tried rebooting - are you sure nothing else is running apt? [23:10] dasgewitter: uhmm there is probably a ppa for Empathy on luanchpad for a later one for 9.10 [23:10] willwork4foo, The only thing custom or different that I have are message styles/themes. I can obviously move/back those up [23:10] dasgewitter: Launchpad [23:11] sebsebseb, Probably true. Is it only for Empathy? [23:11] dasgewitter: there are ppa's for loads of apps [23:11] dasgewitter: you shoudn't install to many ppa's though, since problems might happen if you do [23:11] willwork4foo: rebooting is not an option. nothing else is running apt [23:11] I have only installed one ppa ever, and it caused me more headaches than I cared to remember [23:11] daedaluz, ps -ef | grep apt [23:11] dasgewitter: rather useless factoid I guess, but anyway [23:11] !ppa | dasgewitter [23:11] dasgewitter: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [23:12] sebsebseb, I guess that's what I'm getting at. Since git will only draw exactly what it needs to draw, it would reduce that problem [23:12] dasgewitter: oh it seems to have been updated :) [23:12] dasgewitter: so quite useful actsualley [23:12] willwork4foo: nothing [23:12] daedaluz, hmm... one sec [23:12] sebsebseb, PPA's can lead to conflicting versions of software [23:12] sebsebseb, I'm just trying to keep it simple, really [23:13] daedaluz, try sudo apt-get update [23:13] anybody familiar with remobo? (remobo.com) sposed to be a remote help assistant type app, but so far all i can do is instant message with my friend on it. i want to use it to control her computer for updates and support.

[23:14] oh woops [23:14] burt_: Right it seems that your going to need someone else to help you with your ATI card [23:15] why did I read "samba" and think "apache" [23:15] ati D: [23:15] sorry slidinghorn and Bragex9, I was wrong there - brainfail [23:15] burt_: I have Nividia anyway :) and ATI cards can be a right thing to get working properly when it comes to Ubuntu [23:15] sebsebseb, quite true there. I have an ati card [23:15] sebsebseb, probably will never get both compiz and its drivers working :( [23:16] dasgewitter: oh? [23:16] willwork4foo: hmm, that worked, trying upgrade now [23:16] dasgewitter: well Compiz is pretty sucky anyway [23:16] sebsebseb, just having to use the default drivers for now [23:16] can anyone help me with a problem i have with netbook remix.....???? [23:16] daedaluz, you is welcome :) [23:16] sebsebseb, oh, I enjoy it. [23:16] hey guys any recommendations on a small business server solution that runs on ubuntu? need something where I can gather all emails from co and have a centralized place for files and info sharing [23:16] sebsebseb, it just means I can't do games and what not [23:16] can anyone help me with a problem i have with netbook remix.....????

[23:17] how to unarchive tar.bz2 ?

In the bug the script creator says tha the url file will be opened whit the default web browser. So How can i change my default web browser to Firefox in ubuntu?

I have no idea what I'm missing. Can anyone help me? [23:36] TheSkeward: What wireless card? [23:36] Ebuntu: exist anyy solutions??? [23:36] indrora is there any way to get that thing back to how it was before? [23:37] TheSkeward, try hooking p to ethernet and getting wicd [23:37] what program is there to record your desktop and save it [23:37] belkin n1 adapter, model F5D8051, ver 2000 [23:37] !search record [23:37] Found: skyperecording, skyperecord, screencast, record desktop, skype [23:37] TheSkeward, does the wireless icon appear in the top corner === Guest90255 is now known as maskbandit [23:37] !screencast | ridin [23:37] ridin: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [23:37] xvidcap is great [23:37] TheSkeward: IIRC thats a b43 card... I'd look a little though [23:37] ridin, I've used Xvidcap before now and it worked fairly well [23:37] Ebuntu: I don't have ethernet. [23:38] Aethnen: rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something other than that, like xorg.fail [23:38] D: [23:38] ridin: recordmydesktop [23:38] ok, thanks [23:38] indrora: what does 'b43 card' mean? [23:38] TheSkeward, is it a broadcom card? [23:38] TheSkeward, lspci | grep Wireless [23:38] indrora it's already been deleted, should I make another new one? [23:38] TheSkeward: B43 means its based on the Broadcom 43 chipset. [23:38] can the ubuntu spalsh screen be DISABLED? [23:39] i think the ubuntu repo has the broadcom driver [23:39] Aethnen: If you've gotten rid of it and something else is wrong, it is completely unrelated to X11 [23:39] I hate the splash screen, I have special scripts and I want to know what they're doing. [23:39] ok, i've done recordmydesktop and ran it in the terminal, how do i stop it and save it [23:39] Ebuntu, it does - it's in the restricted drivers thingy [23:39] ridin, just a guess, but - Ctrl-D? [23:39] psych787: grub1 or grub2? [23:39] for end-of-file [23:39] Ebuntu, of course "thingy" is a technical term [23:39] indrora okay, any ideas why the default thing you mentioned is no longer getting the sound? [23:39] :P [23:40] theskeward: lspci -nn | grep Network [23:40] willwork4foo, no, but good guess :b [23:40] ridin, was I close? [23:40] theskeward tell us what kind of card it is and we'll get you the drivers [23:40] iceroot: Not grub, I mean the splash screen during init. [23:40] willwork4foo, no but it sounded smart `-` [23:41] willwork4foo, Ebuntu actually that isn't the driver... its just a script that downloads it from somewhere else. [23:41] Aethnen: Sounds like a problem with the daemon that handles sound. [23:41] oh [23:41] nevermind [23:41] Aethnen: I dont know how to restart PulseAudio but I'm pretty sure simply `sudo restart pulseaudio` will do it. [23:41] Ebuntu: i have the drivers. wombatman and willwork4foo: when i submit 'grep wireless' the terminal stops working. [23:41] airtonix, I know, details details :) The enabling whojamacallit is in the restricted drivers doobrey. [23:41] willwork4foo, Ebuntu just something to be aware of if you decided to be smart about doing an offline install [23:42] TheSkeward, ooo, that sounds nasty. [23:42] indrora i am using alsa instead of pulseaudio [23:42] airtonix, i did n offline install [23:42] airtonix, yep - aware that everything is downloaded off the intarweb for Ubuntu when you ask for it [23:42] pain in the butt [23:42] Ebuntu, I do those regularly with a USB stick === jared is now known as Guest43842 [23:42] Ebuntu, however, I usually plug it into the web after to get updates [23:43] 9,00000000 trips to the other computer with usb to get dependencies DX [23:43] indrora, Aethnen its sudo service pulseaudio restart. [23:43] airtonix: 'restart' 'start' and 'stop' i thought were linked together to upstart? [23:43] Ebuntu, maybe you should read about offline installs then. [23:44] indrora, important part is "service" [23:44] airtonix, i was a ubuntu noob and had no idea what i was doing [23:44] is it possible to create a custom menu at the top called "Bookmarks" instead of having it under "Places" ? or a menu like it [23:44] airtonix the point is, I'm using alsa not pulseaudio [23:44] hey 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 to [23:44] Vooloo, no. [23:44] how to restart all network files and settings ? [23:44] ARGH! That's IT! I can't TAKE this IRC client app any more! I'm going back to xchat! *stomp, stomp, stomp* [23:44] airtonix there is no pulseaudio on the system [23:44] how would i pick just the file name out of a absolute file name? [23:45] :) [23:45] indrora if restarting something were the solution, I've already restarted the computer about 5 times [23:45] Aethnen, there should be if you are using the desktop ubuntu, unless you removed it on bad advice from someone else? [23:45] airtonix: well that sucks. [23:45] nerdy_kid, could you be a little more specific? not sure what you mean [23:45] Vooloo, not without programming your own [23:46] airtonix you said it, it was someone else's advice [23:46] nerdykid, do you mean * or [$name] or somethin? [23:46] You 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 once [23:46] Aethnen, protip: when someone says remove pulseaudio, ignore them. [23:46] lol [23:46] airtonix he has found alsa to work better [23:46] lol [23:46] slidinghorn 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 :) [23:47] how to restart all network files and settings ? [23:47] airtonix: why does the menu editor lock it to two menus only? [23:47] MamboKing, sudo service Network-Manager restart [23:47] Aethnen: ALSA has some advantages... what rev macbook are you on?

[23:53] Zelozelos: a button with three dots [23:53] Ebuntu: he wanted to try to install it, but he played in every file over there [23:53] yeh! only for win. :) [23:53] Zelozelos, go into #blender, right-click on the channel name in the channel picker and add to favourites.

[23:54] sorry, I are a gnome person here. frank82vt try asking in #kubuntu [23:54] nerdy_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] Zelozelos: there are thre more buttons in the dialog that appears when you press the ... butoon one of them is *ADD* [23:54] Coder7, I had no idea Empathy even did IRC. I use xchat [23:54] Zelozelos: should be pretty obvious [23:54] Coder7: use Pidgin it is the best i'm using it now [23:54] erUSUL, already solved - easier than adding it manually :) [23:54] willwork4foo: I just got so sick of it a few minutes ago I pulled out the trusty ol irssi [23:55] Coder7, I gotta admit, sometimes I fire up BitchX just because I like the fact that I can type a command with a swearword in it [23:55] ahh now i see, u can add channels seperated by a ',' ;) ty guys [23:55] I have a geforce 6200 I use with tv out, but when I installed 10.04 jockey did not write to xorg.conf and the nouveau driver made the secondary screen tv out skip [23:55] Empathy doesn't support hardly any / commands [23:55] Coder7, give xchat a go (not the gnome version) [23:55] why not gnome [23:56] are either of these thing fixed?

[23:56] i did apt-get to install xchat [23:56] it's just unfortunate to see the default chat client have such poor IRC support [23:56] let me see [23:56] runs with no problems or lags [23:56] Ebuntu, because the gnome version of xchat has things in weird places. it scares me [23:57] gs [23:57] f [23:57] like what [23:57] g [23:57] twek, good innit [23:57] o.o [23:57] Ebuntu, just things aren't where I'm used to them being, and the channel users list isn't onscreen by default - stuff like that [23:57] MaMoUs, desperate for hotspot!!! :) [23:57] personal preference - and it's fairly idiot-proof, hence why I can use it [23:58] how do i find out what my sound daemon is?
