[00:00] Dragnslicer: unfortunately, you need to push a win7 box [00:00] dragonriot* [00:00] dragonriot: oky here is waht u need to do [00:00] nerdy_kid, ok, I'll do some digging and see if I can find a solution... [00:00] dragonriot: first format the USB desk u want [00:00] zoidberg-, it was aimed at everyone...the room was getting way OT... [00:00] right - since I will be getting woken up at 5am by my 10 month old son, and it's now midnight, I am going to hit the sack [00:00] night all - have a good one [00:01] slidinghorn thanks man :D [00:01] how do i find out what my sound daemon is? [00:01] i am uploading a script to my ppa at launchpad-- but its only a single script. if i am creating the rules file package for my "source code" (i.e. the single script lol) does the rules (or makefile) just need to say "move it to /usr/bin?" [00:01] Aethnen: on 9.04 it was alsa. [00:01] Aethnen: so you'd want to try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restat [00:01] Any solutions for [00:01] problem indrora is that I don't have a windows 7 DVD.... rather... I don't have a working DvD drive on my computer anymore, so I need to make that flash drive from Linux... there's no other way to get Windows on the machine. [00:01] if that doesn't work, something else is wrong. [00:01] http://pastebin.com/UqLxjUa6 [00:01] dragonriot: then go to System>administration>StartUp Dick Creator [00:02] dragonriot: dd the image. [00:02] indrora did you mean "restart" or "restat" [00:02] dragonriot: soo what step are u now in ? [00:02] dragonriot: dd if=(iso_path) of=(path_to_usb_disk) [00:02] Aethnen: restart [00:02] indrora thanks [00:03] ok... i am now able to share folders on my ubuntu pc. The only thing that is strange is that each shared folder comes up double on my xp computer. What is tcausing the bug here? [00:03] Why is kubuntu not offered as a larger DVD with more default packages? [00:03] MaMoUs: I have the ISO, and I have a bootable flash drive that I previously has Ubuntu 9.10 on... [00:03] dragonriot: ur running ubuntu 9.10 ? or 10.04 ? [00:03] MaMoUs: I know I can DD the image to the flash drive, but how do I make the flashdrive bootable from Linux? [00:03] running 10.04 [00:04] nerdy_kid, stupid question, but is this a bash script? [00:04] dragonriot: ok open the startup desk creator [00:04] ok [00:04] dragonriot: in the first box it is empty ? [00:04] indrora i don't think it's correct because it said command not found [00:05] slidinghorn no, its a .desktop file for dolphin (kde filemanager if you didnt know) but it doesnt actually matter, however the "Exec" line is treated like a bash script [00:05] MaMoUs: yes... I've located and selected my Win7 iso... [00:05] dragonriot: choose other and locate Ur .iso file of windows 7 [00:05] cool ^^ [00:05] dragonriot: now choose the usb desk u want it [00:06] dragonriot: after u choose it click erase Disk [00:06] ok, done. [00:06] can some one help me... one of my computers with Ubuntu on it is not booting [00:07] dragonriot: did it finish eraseing ? [00:07] dragonriot: erasing * [00:07] * ufuk_izgi Hi all [00:07] yes, but it's not allowing me to select the win7 ISO now. [00:07] dragonriot: now click [00:07] dragonriot: dude was the .iso file inside the USB ? [00:07] nerdy_kid: you can use: basename path; though it might be more straightforward from a script than a huge one-liner [00:08] no... it's on my passport. lol [00:08] try to locat it again [00:08] locate * [00:08] dragonriot: click on other in above and locate it afain [00:08] dragonriot: again* [00:08] trism i am a total newb at programing of any type, what do you mean? [00:09] nerdy_kid, ok...it's a little over my head, but I found a couple links that might be helpful...it does have to do with basename as trism said: 1. http://bashscripts.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=365 2. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html [00:09] nobody knows? [00:09] I located and used the same ISO again, and it does not allow it.... no error message, just doesn't let me pick it. [00:10] I'm new to linux, using 10.04, and trying to get my wireless connection set up at my university. I believe I have the driver for my belkin adapter correctly installed, but when I follow the directions on the uni's "how to connect to the wireless network with ubuntu), it doesn't connect. I have no idea what I'm missing. Can anyone help me? [00:10] nerdy_kid: the basename command prints the trailing part of a path, so: basename /usr/bin/sort; prints just sort, which seems like what you wanted [00:10] dragonriot: close the startup desk creator and run it again [00:11] can some one help me?.. One of my computers with Ubuntu on it is not booting. all there is is a white line blinking [00:11] moving the iso to my home folder, and re-running the program... I'll get back to you if it doesn't work... Thank you MaMoUs [00:11] im using version 2.6.32-23 [00:12] anyone? [00:12] lil help [00:12] slidinghorn trism thanks guys that did it :D the first post slidinghorn gave me was what i was looking for and trism shortened the code up, thanks guys :) === nick_ is now known as Guest21297 [00:12] king i dont know much but i got that when the grub loader wasnt recognizing the kernel [00:12] kingwooky: what is the problem ? [00:13] help? [00:13] hostname [00:13] 1378 ppl and nobodys knows :( [00:13] ok today when i booted my computer after the bios loaded all there is is a white line flashing [00:13] in the top left [00:13] how can I learn which packages I need for xautomation [00:14] i tried holding down shift and running a different version but it does the same thing [00:14] kingwooky: restart ur pc and when the bios loader keep pressing (Shift key) [00:14] 2.6.32-23 and 2.6.32-21 both dont work [00:15] kingwooky: Had any thunderstorms recently?

[00:15] anybody knows how can I learn which packages I need for xautomation [00:15] how do i choose root?

[00:17] my middle mouse button stopped working, any way to activate it again? [00:17] my ubuntu vm on virtualbox keeps going to the "install screen" is there a way around that/ I don't have a disk in the drive [00:17] bigleon: did you try and install linux onto a drive that contained windows? [00:17] kingwooky: when u enter the recovery there is a choice up there called root command port ?? [00:18] anyone know how to show status of services running in ubuntu? [00:18] Vooloo, what function did it lose specifically? [00:18] zenom: Do you have the .iso mounted? [00:18] dugger5688: no I double checked that too [00:18] how do i get to it... when i run the recovery a bunch of code flys down the screen [00:18] ill tell you what it stops at [00:18] Yeah Coder7, different os on same HD with df partions [00:18] slidinghorn: well it didnt stop working, I have to press harder, not sure if it is some kind of sensitivity setting or the actual mouse :P [00:18] kingwooky: before the recovery there is some choices [00:19] ok so im running the version 2.6.32-23 recovery [00:19] ya [00:19] hello all, I'am having problems traying to install ubuntu 10.04, 9.10 worked great but whrn booting the cd I get BUG:soft lockup CPU#0 stuck for 61s [00:19] the gurb menu right [00:19] grub* [00:19] ya [00:19] bigleon: windows can be VERY finicky about stuff. you can probably recover data off the partition easily within Linux, but windows may require a re-install [00:19] Vooloo, from that description it sounds like the mouse itself...as far as I know there isn't any setting for the sensitivity of the mouse buttons themselves [00:19] ya i can choose a couple of things [00:19] dugger5688: ahh the settings in virtualbox had it set to the iso as the secondary ide slow. [00:19] slot [00:19] please, is better program instead of parted for resizing ntfs partition? [00:19] I've tried with noacpi but nothing works [00:19] Coder7 I'm not to worried about it all my "goodies" are on a sperate partion from my windows parition [00:19] zenom: glad you found it :-) [00:20] anyway to decrypt sha1 ?

[00:20] slidinghorn: its one of these logitechs that activates superscrolling in windows, when you click the middle mouse the wheel turns faster... which is unsupported in linux but might affect the behaviour i guess [00:20] Coder7 what i'm thinking about doing is is freshinstalling both win7 and ubuntu because they don't seem to be behaving. [00:20] slidinghorn, yes it is fine, the same media works in another PC [00:20] kingwooky: choose the seconed one [00:21] Coder7 OHH you think resizing partition is what is BSIng my Win7?

[00:22] I think windows is just stupid in general. [00:23] Coder7 I was afraid that ubuntu's grub loader was messing with things, and i want to be able to set it so it auto loads Win7 Instead of Ubuntu I mainly use ubuntu for my nerd stuff lol while win7 for school/gaming [00:23] kingwooky: well that is weird it is the first time i see this [00:23] slidinghorn, fresh install [00:23] kingwooky: i'm sorry i don't know what to say [00:23] kingwooky: try google ^^ [00:23] if i click e on the grub menu it shows more option? do they do anything important? [00:23] bigleon, Did you install Ubuntu before or after windows on the disk? (i.e. what is the windows partition #) [00:23] google? who uses that anymore :P [00:23] kingwooky: what options [00:23] slidinghorn, I trayed upgrading but It was worst, had to downgrade to 9.04 that one works [00:23] me [00:24] Ebuntu: hahahaa what do u use then ? [00:24] skreet after windows parition. Windows is part C, My storage part is D and then ubuntu got E [00:24] i have tried google ... some people think it might be nvidia not knowing where the kernel is or somthing [00:24] with the new update [00:24] Mamous, my psychic powwwers [00:24] bigleon, Windows drive letters arn't the same as partition numbers. Could you do an `fdisk -l /dev/sda` as root and pastebin the results? [00:24] bigleon, To be clear, Windows will perserve itself as "C" even if it's sda8 or higher :) [00:24] bigleon: you may want to virtualize one or the other. if you game in windows, you can virtualize ubuntu [00:24] Ebuntu: hahaah .... XD do u know any thing about my problem ? [00:25] uhmm [00:25] one sec [00:25] kingwooky: try go insdie the bios and disable the USB [00:25] kingwooky: and then go to recovery mode and tell me what happen [00:25] bigleon: I used to dual boot, but I found I liked the virtualization option much more [00:26] recordfail... insmod ext2... set root = (hd0,1)... and other long ones [00:26] hmmmm ps -A shows that apache2 is running, but when I tried to view my webpage today it doesnt show up [00:26] ok [00:26] nor does my webmin work [00:26] cesar_CR, still looking but found one possible solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9283461&postcount=9 [00:26] LifeEscalade, You runnun a server? [00:26] Ebuntu: yes [00:27] Ebuntu: 10.04 [00:27] check http://zomg.hopto.org and see if it loads for anyone [00:27] slidinghorn, ok I will try right now if I can do that on cd boot time [00:28] LifeEscalade, it's not accepting connections on port 80, nor is it actively denying them. My guess is your firewall is not forwarding the port to the correct host. [00:28] gah [00:28] damnit [00:29] and that could be due to a router reset, huh? [00:29] same thing [00:29] LifeEscalade, Well, the port forward rule probably didn't go away -- but if you're using DHCP it's likely your host's IP has changed. [00:29] LifeEscalade, If you're hosting something in your house, I would recommend using a statically assigned IP outside of the DHCP scope. [00:30] ok this is all it says [00:30] well the bottom part anyways [00:30] well, my static ip hasnt changed from comcast. most likely the internal lan ip has and the port forwarded is to a different lan ip [00:30] slidinghorn, with F6 there's a way to use that parameter, will see if it not hangs [00:30] lol gotta love getting an answer then answering the rest of my question :DS [00:30] :D* [00:31] LifeEscalade, Right, that's what I mean. DHCP on your home firewall got reset so hosts obtained IP in first-come-first-server manner, different from before. [00:31] 'apt-cache show package' shows very reasonable dependencies, while 'apt-get install package' wants to install packages which might not be necessary. Why the difference? [00:31] pundit, Crazy question: what's the package and what ubuntu version? :) [00:34] hola, does someone knows how to rotate ubuntu display? [00:34] skreet: now is there any way to have my server have a static lan ip so that way if i do reset my router due to unforseen issues, it will always get the same lan ip that way i dont have to keep editing my port forwarding?

[00:35] LifeEscalade, Sure, use an IP outside of your DHCP range. For example if your router is 192.168.1.1, and your router gives out (you can get this range from your configuration page) 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.200, give your server 192.168.1.50. Be sure to get the subnet mask and DNS server addresses that are normally assigned via DHCP. [00:36] skreet its jaunty, and a lot of packages are concerned. for instance smartmontools. apt-cache shows everything right, but apt-get install wants to install exim and a lot of mail stuff, which is not necessary for monitoring a disk [00:36] skreet: now i would have to edit that within ubuntu, correct? [00:36] LifeEscalade, If this is Ubuntu Server, you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces where it says 'iface eth0 inet dhcp'. Let me see if I can find a guide on doing this. If it's Ubuntu Desktop, you can use the GUI. [00:37] ok here [00:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/459625/ [00:37] I installed a new gnome theme, it sits in .themes but does not show up under Appearance [00:37] Skreet: i do have kde installed on the server :P [00:37] im nuskool like that [00:37] LifeEscalade, "nuskool"? :P [00:37] newschool [00:37] Why doesn't the test at the end of https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/email-services.html work? [00:38] I'm looking for a decent music library/player program. I'm pleased with Window's Winamp. Is there anything like that in Ubuntu? I've tried Rythmbox, exaile, mplayer, ... [00:38] LifeEscalade, I don't know how to configure networks in Kubuntu so feel free to use the GUI if you feel comfortable. Otherwise you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf. [00:38] slidinghorn, still hangs traying to install 10.04 LTS :( [00:38] LifeEscalade, Ebuntu, I got it, I just don't consider it newschool -- in real server environments you don't have X helpers! [00:38] And frankly, you don't want them -- gunk up the works. [00:38] makes it slooweer [00:39] [00:39] can anyone help me my computer with ubuntu on it wont boot [00:39] not everyone is a purist [00:39] well, its not really gonna be a major site. just for a blackberry repair service im starting [00:39] mainly a jump off page to put on business cards [00:39] I'am still getting BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!, BIOS fail safe could help ? [00:40] cesar_CR: VirtualBox? [00:40] how to get phone support for ubuntu problem in NYC [00:40] skreet, nop my home PC :( [00:40] jowens, You'd have to have a support contract to get phone support, I believe. [00:40] virtualbox is a enviroment for installing Os's [00:40] hey, anyone know of a browser with flash support that will save all downloaded files in cache? [00:41] cesar_CR, Oh. I had that very same issue with VirtualBox -- I needed to upgrade it. Not sure... [00:41] amine, side question: why do you want it to save all files in a cache? there may be a better solution to what you're trying to do. [00:42] skreet: I want to grab all mp3 files that are downloaded using http [00:42] skreet see for instance when i want to install mutt it wants to install exim. THATs crazy. any idea? [00:42] pundit, I don't have that version installed let me see what 10.04 says. [00:43] amine, Are they all from a particular page? You could use a recursive wget to save them all. [00:43] skreet, hummm I do not know what to do... :s [00:43] pundit, Does yours look like this Recommends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent, locales, mime-support, libsasl2-modules [00:44] i tried to join ubuntu but was unable--cant use email on ubuntu so tried from another (Mac and then windows) could not. [00:44] skreet: they are not listed in the source. They are retrieved using AJAX and the only place where you can get them are either browser cache, or use a packet sniffer and grab the URL then re-download within 30 seconds of the original request (or else session times out for that mp3 file) [00:44] amine, Ah, very tricky. [00:45] skreet: yup. I need them within the hour otherwise I'd write the downloader myself [00:45] amine, And it's Flash that streams the audio so to be honest I don't know that the browser cache even comes in to play. [00:45] is there anyway to email someone in ubuntu help? [00:45] skreet: it does :) [00:45] amine, I mean, is the *browser* even downloading the files, or is Adobe Flash libflashplayer.so doing it? [00:45] amine, Oh okay. [00:45] skreet: the browser is downloading them from an akamai source :-) [00:45] skreet no. after doing the 'apt-get install' it says: 'installing the following new packages' and lists things like exim, which mutt for sure does not depend on! is there maybe a switch to make apt-get install only what is really neeeded? [00:46] anyone here know how to bind a static ip to a program? [00:46] amine, I don't know how the site works, but perhaps a greasemonkey script if you're creative with JavaScript :] [00:46] how do i assign what function my mouse's extra buttons perform? prefs > mouse doesn't seem to have the option [00:46] often, it goes down like this: i download some software source code, try to compile it, make conks out with a load of incomprehensible errors, i have to scan through to find out what missing file caused gcc to asplode [00:46] skreet: it's for grooveshark, basically. === xsaiddx is now known as kosaidpo [00:46] pundit, Does mutt depend on 'default-mta' though. I think default-mta is a metapackage that can include exim. [00:47] pundit, *depend on or recommend [00:47] then i have to work out what library would contain that file, search the apt-cache for the right package name, and manually install it [00:47] rinse lather repeat [00:47] anyone here know how to bind a static ip to a program?? [00:47] how do i make this not be a part of my life? [00:47] skreet that makes sense. thanks. [00:47] nsh, Most programs come with a "configure" script -- are you running this first? It checks for required libraries and provides much more usable output. [00:48] I've just bought a new laptop, and installed Ubuntu, but cannot get the sound to work. Can anyone help me? [00:48] amine there is a firefox plugin that may work, [00:48] cesar_CR: which one? [00:48] amine, searching the name one minute [00:48] Hey everyone.. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm trying to add the Ubuntu disk as a source with the Synaptic Package Manager - however, when I do that it gives me an error message: "E: Failed to mount the cdrom." Any idea how I can go about fixing this? [00:48] anyone here know how to bind a static ip to a program??? [00:48] sam_: have you googled the laptop model + the word "ubuntu" ? [00:49] yes [00:49] video download helper https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/3006/?src=api [00:49] skreet, often it does, sometimes it only checks a few things and you still have to manually resolve dependencies. make and configure are basically 80's technology that haven't been improved upon in a generation, and for the life of me i can't see why... [00:49] kingwooky, What program? [00:49] jowens has to quit [00:49] starcraft [00:49] kingwooky, You're referring to your local IP address on your system? [00:49] amine, video download helper [00:49] i think the problem is that they work well enough, most of the time. the curse of satisficement [00:49] cesar_CR: trying it now, I'll report back in a few minutes. Thanks [00:50] skreet, im referring to me quamachi ip\ [00:50] nsh, I don't disagree but in my experience configure takes quite some time and checks every dependancy known to man. [00:50] hi everyone [00:50] Coder7: its a new model, so Google is no help [00:50] I want to know how to find a video downloaded from youtube [00:50] skreet, so i can play my friend over the internet [00:51] kingwooky, I recall having this same problem with starcraft, and I don't know that I ever came up with a solution -- starcraft seems to bind to whatever IP is on the interface and broadcast games on the address. [00:51] hey [00:51] so my home PC will stay in 9.10 hoping that the next release solvs the BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! problem [00:51] can someone tell me how I'd change Power Management settings for the Login screen? [00:51] i used terminal youtube-dl [00:51] skreet, there is this program for windows called forcebind ip do you think it will work on ubuntu? [00:51] Coder7: its a Samsung q430 [00:51] cesar_CR, It's only after upgrading to 10.04? You may want to report the error to Ubuntu on launchpad.net. [00:51] this box i just built goes into hibernate or something on the login screen when idle and i cant wake it back up except to turn it off and turn it on [00:52] kingwooky, You mean in wine? I highly doubt it -- but it probably won't hurt to try. [00:52] kingwooky: No, it uses low-level IP functions that Wine doesn't support. [00:52] skreet, yes fresh install [00:52] skreet, ok... i asked some one this before and they said i had to append the ip to my host name [00:52] cesar_CR, It's likely a 2.6.32 kernel conflict that will need to be addressed. Try posting a bug report and include your system specs if possible. [00:53] going to... skreet thanks ! [00:53] kingwooky, Starcraft doesn't allow IP or hostname based connections as I recall -- it only works on broadcasts. So I don't think you can do that. [00:53] skreet, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9549388#post9549388 [00:54] can someone please tell me how to change power management settings for GDM? [00:54] kingwooky, I'm fairly certain that won't have any effect. But if you want to try, add a line to that file (that's what append means) something like "5.1.2.3 your-hostname", where 5.1.2.3 is your haimatchi IP and your-hostname is whatever your PC is called. [00:55] I want to know how to find a video downloaded from youtube, using youtube-dl [00:55] HowardTheDuck, I think (and I'm really just making a guess, I suppose) that the power management setting made within your login by going to System > Administration > Power Management would apply to GDM as well. I believe they are system-wide. [00:55] amine, did the plugin worked ? [00:55] skreet, do you know of any programs that might bind the ip? [00:56] Starcraft uses IPX, so you can get IPX tunneling/bridging tools, but it will not work well [00:56] kingwooky, Generally in order to bind to a specific interface the program itself has to support it -- that's why I don't think editing hosts will work. Unfortunately (or fortunately for blizzards sales, I suppose), Starcraft won't do this. [00:56] I want to know how to find a video downloaded from youtube, using youtube-dl, anyone can help? [00:56] skreet: unfortunately not. [00:57] Coder7, the newer versions support TCP/IP but broadcast to the network associated with the actual primary interface which is why systems like Hamachi don't work as you'd expect. [00:57] i see [00:57] skreet, maby is there any programs that can bind wine to an ip? [00:57] HowardTheDuck, Hrm, that's surprising. [00:58] so [00:58] kingwooky, I don't see an option in winecfg to bind to a particular interface... [00:58] I have a new Samsung q430 and the sound does not work on Ubuntu. I'm new to linux. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [00:58] I want to know how to find a video downloaded from youtube, using youtube-dl, anyone can help? [00:58] some websites word will show in complex [00:58] onadal: you mean find it on your desktop? [00:59] yes [00:59] onadal, use add-ons [00:59] sam_, If you go to Volume Control (under System > Prefs > Sound) and click ont he hardware tab do you see a device there? === Noobsauce_ is now known as N00bsauce [00:59] like what [00:59] skreet, would it be possible to make a program that could bind it? [00:59] hi all atm i am looking for a good application in linux to rechord video adn sound from webcam adn edit like windows moviemaker does flawlessly [00:59] skreet: yes, internal audio [00:59] kingwooky, You don't make another program to bind an existing program to an interface. The original program would have to be written to do so. [01:00] Weird, if I click on "login screen" under System>Administration, I get some weirded out simple interface, I can't install any GDM themes now damn it! [01:00] How do I fix this? [01:00] onadal,easy yotube video downloader [01:00] skreet, is their any way to edit starcraft? [01:00] skreet, the .exe file? [01:00] cesar_CR: it's sketchy.. works for the first one only [01:00] ok, another and last question. [01:01] kingwooky, no...? [01:01] "some weirded out simple interface", by that I mean a window that does not have tabs or anything, just allows me to select "play login sound", select if I want someone to be automatically logged in on boot up, and that's it. [01:01] ufff :s amin [01:01] ufff :s amine [01:01] cesar_CR: I have to get going. I'll write my own tonight when I get back [01:01] I have DSL 5mb, and under windows works good, but in unbuntu, i only can download at 512kb [01:01] amine, great !!! [01:02] cesar_CR: thanks for the help :-) [01:02] skreet, hmm [01:02] impossible [01:02] skreet, do you have any ideas? [01:02] amine no probl [01:02] why [01:02] kingwooky, Buy two copies of starcraft and play on battle.net? [01:02] Question. Running Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. Went away for a bit, came back and the screen was totally shut off, tried to get it to wake back up, no luck. Fiddled with it a bit and then hard rebooted the laptop. Came back up with hdd errors caught by fsck. Did an autorepair and then rebooted. When the system came back my /home folder was gone. Had to recreate from scratch. My question is,... [01:02] ...was there a way to recover my /home directory? [01:02] because there is nothing different between them [01:02] ask the provider [01:03] skreet, lol... any free ways? [01:03] just signed the code of conduct....now I have to be nice to y'all... *grumble [01:03] i dont need to do that... i restart my laptop under windows and works fine at 5mb [01:03] sam_, I've found that with some models of sound card the default audio mixer levels for ALSA (not PulseAudio which is what you see in Sound properties) are messed up. May want to start up Terminal and run 'alsamixer' to be sure that the Master, PCM and Front channels are all "On" (Green OO under them) and turned up. [01:03] skreet, maby could i temporaraly change my ip to the quamachi ip? [01:03] I don't know , sorry [01:03] kingwooky, That will not work. Starcraft is like $10 and a great game :) [01:04] skreet, so that it would go throught that [01:04] is not the same 540kbps between 64kbps [01:04] skreet, can you help me wiht somthing else also? [01:04] kingwooky, Ask your question of the channel not just of me -- there may be someone who knows more about your next question than I do and you wouldn't want them to miss the question... [01:05] ok [01:05] have just a crib about the latest vlc player in 10.04 [01:05] the icon looks bad in the taskbar.. [01:06] and just fyi, I'm on the dark theme [01:06] can anyone help me... one of my computers wont boot... it stops after the bios loads.. all there is is a blinking white line [01:06] it uses ubuntu [01:06] skreet, I see master, speaker and pcm. all are on and turned up, but still no sound [01:07] version 2.6.32-23 [01:07] hi all atm i am looking for a good application in linux to rechord video adn sound from webcam adn edit like windows moviemaker does flawlessly [01:07] sam_, What are you using to test your sound, just curious. Also, are they also enabled (Green OO vs MM) [01:07] kingwooky: boot using a livecd, copy your /home/ directory to a jump drive or cd-rom, and then reinstall ubuntu? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [01:07] kingwooky: Can you run this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces? === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [01:08] EruditeOgre, It's for that reason that I wish Ubuntu would default to having a separate home partition... :( [01:08] i am having sound problem in Ubuntu 10.04 [01:09] has anyone able to solve that problem ? [01:09] skreet: Indeed. I should have thought about that back when i first installed. Now I have to jump through the hoops of resizing my partitions and then setting up a new home partition. [01:09] Erudite0gre, ill just reinstall i dont have anything of importance on their [01:09] pritesh, what's probloum? [01:09] kingwooky: probably for the best then. [01:09] kingwooky: was it working before? [01:09] skreet, i'm using movie player with a sound file in example-content. PCM has neither 00 nor MM, but master and speaker have 00 [01:09] i can't play sound any more [01:10] *hunts for his livecd of 10.04* [01:10] pritesh,please explain [01:10] EruditeOgre, ya.. it just stoped working randomly [01:10] aplay -l [01:10] aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found.. [01:10] EruditeOgre, i think it might be the version or somthing [01:10] What version were you running? [01:10] sam_, That seems like a perfectly good test... hmm [01:10] kingwooky: I saw you list the kernel version [01:11] run the command in terminal [01:11] which one ? [01:11] skreet, I also tried to run a game, World of Goo, but no sound [01:11] pritesh , paste the result of aplay -l [01:11] EruditeOgre, ya version 2.6.32-23 [01:12] i already did [01:12] aplay -l [01:12] aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found... [01:12] EruditeOgre, the recovery wont even work [01:12] I tried to install Ubuntu a little while back and I remember Grub not finding Windows 7, and there was no solution to the problem either. Can anyone tell me if this is still the case? [01:12] sam_, Under System > Prefs > Sound again, in the Output tab, what is Connector set to. Sometimes it defaults to Analog Headphones or Digital Out, but for most people Analog Output is what you want. [01:12] you don't have any sound card [01:12] EruditeOgre, on version 2.6.32-23 and 2.6.32-21 [01:12] skreet, analog speakers [01:13] 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [01:13] Hrm, think 100gb is enough for Ubuntu proper, then make the other 220gb my /home folder? [01:13] EruditeOgre, 100GB is overkill for Ubuntu proper. [01:13] skreet: Oh? I figured what with all the software installs and whatnot. [01:13] skreet, I changed it to analog output, but still no sound [01:13] EruditeOgre, My / is 8 G and is a bit tight -- I think 20G should be fine as long as you install big apps like games to /home/ [01:13] EruditeOgre, It is, but I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with a few extra apps and it's only 5.4 G [01:14] EruditeOgre, Most larger apps like games and such will install to /home by default -- and so long as you dont need to share them you can retain them through rebuilds or distro changes keeping them in /home/ [01:14] sam_, Hrm, out of ideas sorry =) PulseAudio isn't my strong suit. [01:14] cutiyar : did you see my msg ? [01:15] Hey guys, anyone here familiar with network manager and ndiswrapper? [01:15] skreet, thanks for trying.

Came back up with hdd errors caught by fsck. Did an autorepair and then rebooted. When the system came back my /home folder was gone. Had to recreate from scratch. My question is,... [01:16] ...was there a way to recover my /home directory? [01:17] nope [01:17] EruditeOgre: you might find fragments of it in /lost+found [01:17] What program would I use to make a youtube movie? [01:17] or /home/lost+found if /home was a partition [01:18] linxeh: Thanks, will check. [01:18] Boldfilter, upload the movie to youtube is the easyest way [01:18] And there it is!

I have seen exactly what you're describing with a CDROM drive being set to boot first that was jammed, so it would endlessly try to close and the system would not boot. [01:25] 10/4 thanks [01:25] hi . i am looking at getting a digital video camera and want to know what to be looking for so that it will work well with ubuntu.

[01:26] johntramp, Very cool site -- I don't think it's sponsored by Conocial though. might be helpful :) [01:26] johntramp, most USB cams will be automatically detected once you plug them in and turn them on...if not, you can manually mount and use gthumb to import the images [01:27] slidinghorn: how about video cameras though [01:27] johntramp, Although they don't seem to have a digital *video* camera category... odd [01:27] skreet, ya when i looked in my bios my cd drive was set to first boot... but i changed that and it still wont work [01:27] * Runar is away: sleep [01:27] kingwooky, Will it even boot from the Ubuntu 10.04 disc??

[01:30] slidinghorn: so does that show up as an external hard drive when you connect it to the pc? [01:31] skreet, in the cmos setup under advandced chipset features and nvidia raid setup should the sata channels be disabled or enabled?

[01:32] hey, does anyone know if there are maintained objective-c bindings for GTK? [01:33] skreet, ? disabled or enabled? [01:34] What is some of the best applications for ubuntu?? [01:34] !best [01:34] 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.

If you use Ubuntu Server the installer isn't graphical and may be easier to read, but you'll have to then install the 'ubuntu-desktop' pakcgae if you want a GUI... [02:06] chalcedny, Probably a way to install Ubuntu Desktop with text-mode installer but I don't know it. [02:06] looks like that project is dead since 2006 karma_police :S [02:06] chalcedny, are you doing a dual boot or will the machine only have Ubuntu? [02:06] Hi. How can I install a crypted LVM system from the installation CD? [02:06] slidinghorn: lucid [02:07] skreet, chalcedony: there's an alternate install cd that is a text installer too. no need to go for a server cd [02:07] skreet, oh well.. you wanted that code that shows when i try to install ubuntu from usb? [02:07] guess i will just have to dualboot then.. was hoping to find an alternative [02:07] slidinghorn, just ubuntu 10.04 LTS [02:07] That is funny. I was on the UbuntuForums.org a minute ago. I replied to someones post with "wtf" and now I can't access the forums. What's going on? [02:07] kingwooky, yeah sure [02:07] hey all, whats the wine support channel named?

[02:08] pres: Please watch the language in here, obfuscated swearing isn't welcome here. If you're having problems on the Ubuntu Forums, you should probably check their guidelines, this isn't ubuntu-forum support. [02:09] skreet, ok here its is ... one sec [02:09] slidinghorn: hello... [02:09] h00k, I would, but now I can;t access them. Bit ironic don't you think. [02:09] Vin73, settle down..I'm looking. :) take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1471586 [02:09] skreet, do you just want the bottom part?

[02:10] maco, Well, 32-bit. =) [02:10] pres: pres http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php?page=policy [02:10] skreet: there wasnt a whole lot of 64bit stuff out 5 years ago... [02:10] According to the email I just received, I've received infraction because of spam advertising? What the heck is with that? Just because I said what I said? How is that spam advertising? [02:10] slidinghorn, i think desktop [02:11] pres: this isn't the place for that, you're going to have to check elsewhere. Does the email provide any instructions? [02:11] pres: what was the post you replied to, and what did you say? [02:11] maco, You're right -- I assume people arn't putting 10.04 on hardware much older than that - but they probably are :] [02:11] pres: behavioural corrections in here dont result in email... [02:11] pres, try #ubuntuforums [02:11] is there a way to permanently set the input device in Sound preferences ? I have to change it back to webcam mic 10 times a day - what a PITA [02:11] I feel crazy [02:11] skreet: my mom's 9.10 machine is from 2001 ;-) [02:11] bazhang, thanks. ;_) [02:12] skreet, it's a brand new computer too new for 8.04 to support the nic, it's just an old monitor and we don't need it for graphics [02:13] chalcedony, Ah, I'm surprised you have an old *working* 12" monochrome display. [02:13] chalcedny, use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall -- I would recommend using about 10GB for the / partition and create a /home partition with the vast majority of your HDD space -- it will help when upgrading to newer versions in the future [02:13] skreet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459647/ [02:13] I used 80gb for / [02:13] skreet, thats the bottom part [02:13] so far its 22% full [02:13] skreet, where it stops [02:13] h00k, just so you know. Yes I did get email. But it claimed I was spam advertising and then gave me a link for more information which I can't access because I'm banned for whatever reason I have no idea. I'd just appreciate some sort of explanation. That's all. [02:13] kingwooky, And it stops there?? That really doesn't mean anything except "you plugging in a USB device" [02:14] so I'd recommend 20gb for / if you can afford it [02:14] un214, did you setup a separate partition for your /home? [02:14] yes === jjesse-netbook_ is now known as jjesse-netbook [02:14] 600gb [02:14] un214: 20?!? [02:14] skreet, yep stops there and a lil white line flashes at the bottom [02:14] if I had 10 I would have had to grow it twice now [02:14] un214: is that with or without a separate /home ? [02:14] separate /home [02:15] un214, maco, really depends on how you handle large programs or if you have big apps to install. my desktop box has 5.4G on / out of 7.3G -- home is where all the space is and I install things like netbeans and games there instead of system locations [02:15] pres: well, we don't deal with ubuntuforums stuff in this channel, you'd have to check #ubuntuforums. I assume it was some mistake, then [02:15] un214: how are you using that much space? i never went over 10GB til i started doing development at which point -doc, -dev, and -dbg packages did it, so now i use 15GB. are you *never* cleaning out /var/cache/apt/archives/ or something? [02:16] skreet, the thing above it is n't support DPO or FUA and some stuff [02:16] hi, just got a new dell i1764 (Inspiron 17) and the wireless is not working, can anyone help me? [02:16] maco: yeah must be not cleaning the cache [02:16] h00k, thanks. In there now. [02:16] pres: good luck [02:16] omry, did you try installing the drivers with an ndiswrapper [02:16] ? [02:16] un214: even with kde and gnome and all of texlive (which is about 1.5GB on its own) id only use 7GB until i added devel packages [02:17] omry, Do you know what kind of wireless card it has? [02:17] skreet, it say write protect is off also [02:17] sean-laptop, nope. didn't do anything expect look for an answer online yet (don't know much about wireless) [02:17] I needed the i386 schroot jail another copy of the system to own core drivers as updates keep installing broken ones [02:17] skreet, so that isnt the problem [02:17] sean-laptop, ^ [02:17] skreet, nope. how do I check? [02:18] omry, you would be best to find the drivers after you identify the card, then try installing it with an ndiswrapper [02:18] omry, I'd start by putting the output of lspci into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ -- should tell you (and us!) [02:18] omry, the windows driver that is [02:18] sean-laptop, omry, What if it's supported natively... :) [02:18] I think that's the one : 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 (rev 01) [02:19] makes sense? [02:19] omry, So there's a whole thing with Broadcom you have to do, let me find the docs. [02:19] skreet, what should i be looking for? [02:20] sean-laptop, I hope not to have to use any hacks like these :) [02:20] lets see if we can get native support [02:20] broadcom wifi? [02:20] hi, my computer crashes once in a while if I leave it in tty7, its been doing it for years. I've tried upgrading, changing o/s', removing hardware, [02:21] hi, is it possible to install a GUI for ubuntu server if i only have SSH remote access? someone mentioned VNC but it is only CLI how does it "render" the UI? [02:21] the only way I have discovered to prevent this is to leave it in tty1 when I am not using the computer, as it only freezes when I am NOT using it.. (usually at night time or when I go to work) [02:21] so here is my question for anyone who cares:::: [02:21] debugview by X running [02:21] omry, I can't seem to find a guide for 10.04 -- only older versions... still looking [02:22] kitche, does that include stuff like a normal ubuntu desktop? [02:22] start menu, etc.. [02:22] hi, how can I disable automatic lock screen on lucid...I am using Gnome desktop [02:22] How can I automate Ubuntu to switch to tty1 when the computer goes in standby or goes to a screensaver ??? [02:22] slidinghorn: thanks... [02:22] omry, One guide says that the native Hardware Drivers dialog will do it -- have you tried going to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [02:22] I am using xfce [02:22] Vin73: system> preferences> screensaver [02:23] xangua: thanks [02:23] I had a scheduled task program once that would put the computer to tty1 at 12:00 at night, [02:23] skreet, actually I tried. nothing in there (I am not really familiar with ubuntu so I might missed something obvious) [02:24] but I would rather it go to tty1 after 20min's of inactivity [02:24] skreet, surprise. now there is something there. [02:24] checking it out [02:24] I've cfg'd SSH to use pub/priv key auth, but it keeps denying by putty-converted private key. What gives? [02:24] because resetting the computer really is a pain, and its even more painful knowing that my computer should be more stable than windoze anything... [02:24] howdy... [02:25] omry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu -- you may need to enable the 'Restricted'/'Universe' or 'Multiverse' repositories before the Broadcom driver will show up in that menu. [02:25] Id just disable teh standby mode thing competely. [02:25] skreet, it's already in there. installing now [02:25] looks promising [02:25] Hi -- I've just started using mutt with mail delivered by procmail. For a pair of mailboxes, mutt loops between them, saying the other has new mail. [02:26] The mutt documentation says this occurs when something updates the mtime of the files, such as biff / frm [02:26] debugview: vnc renders the desktop to the 'local' vnc client/viewer. freenx also lets you see a remote 'desktop' locally. [02:26] However, lsof shows no other process has the files open. [02:26] Any suggestions? [02:26] debugview: or you just ssh to the remote. run a X app and have it appear as a single app, on the local X desktop. [02:26] edlang, For what it's worth a process doesn't need to hold open a file to quickly change it's mtime. Can you confirm the mtime change by using something like 'stat' on the file before and after mutt tells you it's been updated? [02:26] hi, I would like to remove the password prompt each time I perform a system administration task on lucid by means of Gnome desktop....is there a way to do it? [02:27] I've cfg'd SSH to use pub/priv key auth, but it keeps denying my putty-converted private key. What gives? [02:27] Vin73: better not to if you want a secure OS [02:27] devgrusea1: I've never gotten putty public/private keys working [02:27] hi [02:28] Hello, my laptop does not wanna read the dvds I put on. For no reason, when I insert it, I wait a moment and nothing shows in the app. Whats wrong? [02:28] devgrusea1: I finally gave up and installed cygwin ssh [02:28] I have an error message every time I open chrome: http://pastebin.com/dndP4zVB [02:28] is that related to ubuntu maybe????? [02:28] Vin73, You will need to add a line to /etc/sudoers to allow yourself unrestricted access to root -- it's not a good idea, but I do it. type 'sudo visudo' in a terminal to edit the sudoers file then add: [02:28] Luija1006: you mean 'movie' dvd's ? or just normal data dvds? [02:28] Vin73 you really dont want to do that [02:28] username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [02:28] yeah I agree you don't want to do that [02:28] xangua: no I can bring it back later...but at the moment I am in the middle of some testing and this prompt really takes up precious time.... [02:28] I also agree. [02:28] skreet: the mtime isn't changing. [02:29] edlang, So mutt is confused then... hmm [02:29] Hey is there a reason as to why Pidgin was removed as the default IM client? I know Empathy is pretty decent but tbch I don't think it has half the great features as pidgin. I know I could always just purge it but .. seriously.. -sigh- [02:29] Dr_Willis: normal [02:29] [02:29] Vin73: that's when I keep a root prompt up on tty1 [02:29] gOLDfeesh, a-greed. :( [02:29] skreet, looks like the driver is installed but it does not see the wireless network [02:29] Luija1006: not reading them is differnt from 'not auto mounting them' - try mountuing them by hand. with the proper mount command. [02:29] tried networking restart. no luck [02:29] omry, It's just now installed, or has been installed? NetworkManager might need to be restarted if you just installed the driver. [02:29] just now installed it [02:29] Dr_Willis: and whats that command? [02:29] gOLDfeesh: personally i dont use either. [02:30] Luija1006: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom (or similer) [02:30] omry, I don't think that Ubuntu will insmod the driver until reboot -- have you rebooted? [02:30] !mount | Luija1006 [02:30] Luija1006: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [02:30] Dr_Willis what do you use as a jabber client then? or do you not use IM? [02:30] help... [02:30] gOLDfeesh: I dont do IM. Other then 'irc' === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [02:30] Dr_Willis well yeah see I do.. that's why [02:30] gOLDfeesh: Im anti-social :) [02:30] Dr_Willis lol nice [02:31] Dr_Willis: it says the montage point does not exist [02:31] skreet, nope. reboots are for pussies ;). know the module name by any chance? [02:31] gOLDfeesh, using IRC in Empathy is quite awful -- expanding the chat input box as you type is obnoxious. [02:31] brb booting Fedora [02:31] Luija1006: then make it.. [02:31] hi alll [02:31] Dr_Willis: :)..... [02:31] omry, Sure, and I agree (can't guess your skill level by IRC :P) -- I think it's b43 [02:31] Luija1006: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom or whatever you want to use [02:31] skreet, I think pidgin does the very same thing [02:31] skreet for IRC I use BitchX or irssi [02:31] Daekdroom, It does not resize the window, that's for sure! :) [02:31] gOLDfeesh: ive gotten where i perfer 'weechat' to Irssi or BX these days [02:31] gOLDfeesh, X-chat here... to each his own [02:32] grr [02:32] omry, Still, you may need to restart NetworkManager for it to pick up the new interface. [02:32] skreet, I know debian well. sec. checking the deb [02:32] I've cfg'd SSH to use pub/priv key auth, but it keeps denying my putty-converted private key. What gives? [02:33] afallenhope, grr. [02:33] skreet, networkmanager == /etc/init.d/ networking ? [02:34] Dr_Willis: still not reading [02:34] skreet, not b43. [02:34] omry, Nope, NetworkManager is the GUI level app that manages all your network interfaces. Most configuration for Ubuntu desktop is done outside of /etc/init.d/networking and /etc/network/interfaces. [02:35] omry, find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -ctime +1 [02:35] :) [02:35] assuming you didnt' just install your kernel today...? [02:35] Maybe you did. [02:36] skreet, worse. I just installed ubuntu today. but for some reason it's not showing any file so maybe it preserved the original creation time [02:36] but no results for it at all. [02:37] amidoinitrite [02:37] omry, hmm [02:37] So for some reason my laptop does not wanna read the dvds I insert. I wait some moment, the laptop seems it reading it because of the flashing light, but it suddenly stops, and nothing shows between the connected hardware. Whats wrong? [02:37] server /join swift.irc.net [02:38] god. [02:38] omry, be right back i think my netbook is broadcom -- dell mini 9 [02:38] omry, try the netbook ubuntu? i think it has drivers for the Mini 9 [02:38] hi everybody... i'm trying to download chromium OS' source code to compile... I'm getting an error... http://paste.ubuntu.com/459652 [02:39] has anyone here tried to compile chromium os? [02:39] toter, why compile there are debs out and you can also add the repository (google it) thats how i installed it on mine [02:39] skreet, I think it's called wl. and I have it insmoded [02:40] sean-laptop: thanks for the tip. I was trying to get my hands dirty and compile this thing [02:40] but i can't even download the source code! [02:40] git gives me an error [02:41] toter, what are you trying to get/do? [02:41] toter, sometimes why bother.. take the path or least resistance [02:41] omry, I just came back to tell you that it's wl [02:41] :) [02:41] toter, i learned it with a simple google search [02:41] omry, BCM4312 right? [02:41] sean-laptop, because it's a good way to learn. [02:41] I'm following everything correctly from chromium os' website [02:41] LJRuff, well cant blame ya there [02:42] when I execute the command "gclient sync" it does not sync [02:42] the error is the following: [02:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/459652/ [02:42] holy crap theres alot of chatters in here [02:42] I can compile a kernel [02:42] omry, you get an eth1 or wlan0 device in 'ifconfig' with wl insmodded? [02:43] skreet, 4353 [02:43] sean-laptop: I understand your position. It is the easiest one. === Fudgey is now known as Fudge [02:43] omry, Ah, I've got a different model than you... [02:43] skreet: may be caused by noatime being set on the filesystem. Changed to using maildirs. [02:43] skreet, yes. eth1 [02:43] skreet: http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Folder , Why are "new" flags of mbox folders wrong in folder-list view? [02:44] skreet, I figured wl by looking at the source tree of the package installed by the driver thing [02:44] is there any way I can change the background of the login prompt? [02:44] (I use XUbuntu) [02:45] skreet, iwconfig : eth1 IEEE 802.11 Access Point: Not-Associated [02:45] BitWraith, i was wonderin the same thing [02:45] omry, Log out and back in and NetworkManager should pick it right up :] [02:46] Hey all. Need some assistance trying to set up CIFS auto-mount with pam_mount -- I've done it before, but it's not working now and Google is failing me (or maybe I'm failing Google?) [02:46] skreet, yes. time to try some brute force :) [02:46] brb [02:48] what program sets the background in Xfce? [02:48] skreet, nope. restarting x. and when this fails (as it should) I`ll try a reboot. [02:48] BitWraith, you may wanna try #xubuntu.. but it seems a little dead in there at the moment [02:51] hi all [02:51] hello [02:52] Or is there a way to tell if pam_mount has even run? [02:52] skreet, well - I`m back. rebooted. still nothing. [02:52] anyone know where I can get some help with video drivers for ubuntu? [02:52] i have a partition that mounts on root but that partition is small.i can't install anything so i'm thinking of umount from that partition and mount on bigger partition but i tried it on debian and it says drive is busy..how do i unmount boot partition in live cd and mount boot directory to large partition?

[02:54] [02:56] aaasdfasdfas~ the super simple way of doing things would be to save to an external drive the stuff you want in the small partition and reformat the drive entirely and install the OS of choice [03:04] more on that mutt / atime issue: http://kerneltrap.org/node/14148 [03:05] i need help [03:06] Hi all, i installed UBUNTU, i setup Autologin and then i installed the Kubuntu Desktop, and now i cant start session as ubuntu, it automatically access in kubuntu.

Worst case scenario you need to edit gconf. You should not have to remove KDE [03:08] p4nt0mafdsadf, Oh, if you see it than don't click you name click the session button at the bottom.

[03:13] TomT64, it says its backwards compatible with ext2.. ext3 is just ext2 with journalling [03:13] And I got the following instruction: [03:13] yeah I was worried about what would happen if the journaling was messed up, looks like the FAQ answers that [03:13] You will need to add a line to /etc/sudoers to allow yourself unrestricted access to root -- it's not a good idea, but I do it. type 'sudo visudo' in a terminal to edit the sudoers file then add: [03:14] Vin73, add the current user to root group...i guess it'l work [03:14] But even after doing this and rebooting the system, the prompt persists...

Windows works fine on the same system (display properly recognizes the refresh rates) [03:33] I noticed that xserver-xorg radeon package (not sure the full name) was installed but radeonhd package was not. Also, in hardy and feisty on this machine in the past, I had been using nonfree drivers through the driver manager (fglrx iirc), they no longer appear.

I just bought an Intel X25-M and would like to ensure Ubuntu isn't going to be a detriment to the drive. === Rinku is now known as rinku_kokiri [03:55] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, did you do it?

[03:56] tonsofpcs: how can i remove ubuntu [03:57] muni: just install something else [03:57] chalcedny: ah, sudo ifconfig -a << what's that got? [03:57] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, try "nm" [03:57] muni: just install some other OS on the hard drive where ubuntu currently is [03:57] rinku_kokiri, file a bug report [03:57] tonsofpcs: ya i know that but how [03:57] it shouldnt do thta [03:57] hmm [03:57] muni: whatever you want to replce it with [03:57] i changed wires [03:57] muni, you mean delete the operating system? run a livecd on boot.. run gparted and delete the partition [03:57] ifup eth0 still nothing.. what is a 'network manager'?

[03:59] ok hmm [03:59] ok [03:59] sean-laptop: i dont have partitions [03:59] Not quite as broken as my machine at the moment. Anyone know why X would make a radeon video card go insane and blank its screen [04:00] muni, ...... you HAVE to have at least the main partition and the swap lol [04:00] tonsofpcs, no, it doesn't it has lo and pan 0 [04:00] chalcedny: with the sudo? (if so, it seems there is a device issue) [04:00] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, try sudo nm-applet [04:00] SteveThing: this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504907&page=2 says TRIM support was added to linux 2.6.33 (lucid is 2.6.32), you add a discard option to mount/fstab line. This should be good in Meerkat. [04:00] <[Screamo]> err [04:00] is it possible to run ubuntu on a blackberry [04:00] WXZ: no [04:00] tonsofpcs, i did put the sudo pass [04:00] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, lspci in terminal, look for a network card [04:00] muni, the hard drive itself is a partition.. a single one with a separate swap partition [04:00] not even through a virtual machine? [04:01] Is there a default password associated with root login on lucid? [04:01] Vin73, try 'root'? [04:01] better buy an android phone WXZ or maybe openmoko¿¿ [04:01] sean-laptop: i know that i can't run and install vista [04:01] they can run ubuntu :D [04:01] chalcedny: is this an onboard ethernet controller or is it on a card? [04:02] tonsofpcs, on board [04:02] hmmm [04:02] muni, you want to dual boot? i recommend 7 not vista.. [04:02] sean-laptop: not it is not working... [04:02] hrm [04:02] sean-laptop: thanks but how [04:02] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, did you run "lspci"? [04:02] <[Screamo]> your looking for an ethernet_controller or network_controller [04:02] [Screamo], yes i'm trying to see it [04:03] muni, you have to resize your partition and then set up a separate partition for vista [04:03] lspci | grep -i eth [04:03] tonsofpcs, did that, nothiong [04:03] nothing too [04:03] buenas noches [04:03] lspci | grep -i netw [04:04] hi ceeck65 [04:04] k [04:04] anyone here uses NX server? I am trying to install and configure NX server [04:04] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, its not listing a ethernet/network controller? [04:04] tucemiux: i tried once, pita [04:04] ceeck65, hola, aqui todo es en ingles [04:04] sean-laptop: my pc is a ubuntu based pc and i have no, partitions ..... and i want to install 7 [04:04] chalcedny: could it be disabledd in the bios possibly? [04:04] tonsofpcs, nothing [04:04] Segfault solved with "rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin" && echo 'APT::Cache-Limit "8388608";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf [04:05] it was working until i shut it off because it froze [04:05] i would check that [04:05] tonsofpcs, ok well i already have an ssh server and know how to administer it, installing nx after that shouldnt be too hard, i just have a question with the specifics [04:05] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, have you tried rebooting? [04:05] <[Screamo]> =/ [04:05] muni, yes i thought that it was.. you have to go into gparted and resize the partition.. your computer has to have one partition on the hard drive. otherwise it would not allow installing of ubuntu.. [04:05] [Screamo], that sounds easier than messing with bios which i didn't toucn [04:05] touch [04:05] tucemiux: ssh servers are easy. [04:05] muni, you have an ext3 partition.. hyou need to make one that is itfs [04:06] muni, i mean ntfs [04:06] thune3, thank you. reading up on it now [04:06] i'm worried that it broke it - i didnt turn it off [04:06] muni, why would you want to install windows7 on a machine that has ubuntu on it already? [04:06] er bios [04:06] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, if rebooting doesnt work, you might try booting into a livecd [04:07] muni, if you are wanting 7 to run certain programs why not try Wine or Wine-Doors [04:07] <[Screamo]> lol @ wine [04:07] tucemiux: i want to install 64 bit ubuntu [04:07] <[Screamo]> none of the windows programs i want to run will wine = [04:07] <[Screamo]> =/ [04:07] sean-laptop: wine still doesn't have directdraw (part of windows 3.0) working properly. [04:07] muni, you could also just look for an alternative program to the windows oneyou want [04:08] tonsofpcs, i know that.. jsut trying to help this one.. i perfer avoiding wine at all costs [04:08] sean-laptop: i know about wine but what is wine-doors [04:08] can anyone suggest a good ereader program for ubuntu/deb ? [04:09] sean-laptop: is there any way to install 64bit using a 32 bit ubuntu [04:09] Can anyone figure out why my computer's screen goes white and fades and hangs when I start up my machine? [04:09] muni, winedoors is a more gui based wine.. has some single click installation such as for running WoW (i dont play it myself) or things that are dependant on windows applications [04:09] I have postfix and courier, why can't i send/recieve mail with squirrelmail? [04:09] muni, i have no clue. i own nothing with 64 bit architecture [04:10] I have a drive mounted to /media/usb-hdd How does ubuntu determine to write files to /media/usb-hdd or on the drive i mounted to that folder? [04:10] sean-laptop: can i report my prblm [04:11] yeah i would guess.. what is the exact issue though.. you want to install windows (on a separate partition) for what reason.. and the 64 bit issue [04:11] I have tried everything that I can find on google and I am out of options. I need some help. I am running bootstrap.sh for thrift and I am getting the following error. "configure.ac:44: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found" I am told it is a number of things like missing packages so I install them and again, no luck. Help! Thanks =) [04:12] Can anyone suggest a good ereader program to read e-books in ubuntu ? [04:12] unclemantis: sounds like the 'thrift' file you have is corrupt [04:12] try asking their devs. [04:12] Pondera: evince¿ [04:12] so re download and try again? [04:12] evince [04:12] ok thanks ill look it up [04:12] unclemantis: it's probably not ready for public use [04:12] sean-laptop:no i cant find any way to install 64bit , but i found that if i have windows on my pc i can run the 64bit installer [04:13] hmmm [04:13] anything, chalcedny? [04:13] oh.,. why not download and burn the 64 bit version and then run it as a livecd? it could be a bad checksum.. you may just have to re-download it [04:14] tonsofpcs, doesn't seem to [04:14] huh [04:14] sean-laptop:how can i run it as a live cd [04:14] ifconfig still shows lo [04:14] Hello! [04:14] best ereader ive found is fbreader [04:15] shall i try restart again, maybe? tonsofpcs [Screamo] ? [04:15] I'm looking for some help. [04:15] thought i got the stable versikon [04:15] chalcedny: i would definitely check your bios for a disabling option [04:15] sorry... kitty ass in the way [04:15] ok [04:15] just search and download then burn the livecd from the site.. then just throw it in the cd drive. then boot from the cd [04:15] it will load it [04:15] i will lroll back to a past version [04:16] sean-laptop: no that's the problem its not loading when i restart my pc [04:16] This is the one i am using "The latest stable release of Thrift is 0.2.0 (released on 2009-12-11). " [04:16] so what's the deal? [04:16] May someone help me with a sound card issue? :) [04:16] kelberry: try system testing [04:17] Okay. [04:17] any other suggestions asside from rolling back to a previous stable version? [04:17] kelberry:system>administration>system testing [04:19] 0.2.0 is the only version they have available [04:19] again... any other ideas? [04:19] unclemantis: talk to their support. clearly you're trying to build it from source, so ask them. [04:19] There is no binaries available so ok. Thanks [04:20] Gah, I believe it is stuck in the 'Running alsa_record_playback_internal...' [04:20] nap time [04:20] night all [04:20] Hello, does anyone know if nvidia GF 240 graphics work properly with ubuntu 9.10 ? [04:20] Anyway, I've had a history of sound not working on Ubuntu for me on this computer. [04:21] I believe it is my sound card, or something. [04:21] kelberry: killall pulsseaudio [04:21] err [04:21] furythor, i had issues with that too.,. i found that installing compiz helped. [04:21] killall pulseaudio [04:21] ^^ should fix it [04:21] tonsofpcs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:21] sean-laptop: what kind of issues ? [04:21] FloodBot3: that's command separation, please learn to not suck at your job :) [04:22] furythor, just that it would only use it as default vga and not specific hardware [04:22] sean-laptop: well I did get proprietary drivers to work, however card was not identified right and some features did not work [04:23] Okay, I did the system testing. [04:23] furythor, try an ndiswrapper? [04:23] naah, I did upgrade to 10.04 but I don't like this [04:23] kelberry: what's the issue you are experiencing? [04:24] so I am thinking of reverting back to 9.10 and staying till I get my mice kb combo to work out of box again [04:24] I can't hear any sound, and I have had this issues many times when installing Ubuntu. [04:24] Ever since I got my new computer. [04:24] I believe my audio card isn't supported, but I'm not 100% sure. [04:25] Kelberry you got integrated audio chip on mother board and then internal sound card on computer ? [04:25] kelberry, more soundcards are supported all the time.. check [04:25] Haha, this is the problem, I'm kind of new to Ubuntu, so I don't know all of my resources, and I'm not really into hardware, more software. [04:26] I know the basics, with terminal etc, just not anything too advanced. [04:26] Have any websites that I can check out? :) [04:26] kelberry: do you have >1 sound card by chance? [04:26] I believe I do have more than one, but how exactly do I check? [04:26] kelberry: http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh can generate some diagnostic info and post it to a pastebin for you to share with debuggers [04:27] Okay, thank you maco! [04:27] kelberry: part of that script's output is a list of your sound cards [04:27] kelberry: type "sudo lshw " and use bastebin to show what that prints out [04:27] I need to run "sudo apt-get install libtool" [04:28] <[Screamo]> then run it=/ [04:28] now i am getting this notice "libtoolize: You should add the contents of `./aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'." Does this mean it is optional or strongly suggested? [04:28] * chalcedny beats head firmly on desk, remind me if i EVER figure out the how-to-get-into-the-bios to write it dow?

I would like to see (as maco suggested) the file generated by "bash alsa-info.sh" using http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh [04:32] Okay, thank you thune3 [04:33] kelberry: might want to install pavucontrol so you can tell streams which device to go to. a common problem is trying to play to device the speakers arent hooked to [04:33] hey folks. i'm running lucid x64, and flash has been crashing way too often... [04:34] causing me to have to reload the page [04:34] seanw: I tried the driver, and it does read smaller partitions but I have a 2 TB drive with most of the drive taken up by a single partition. Seems like it won't read over a certain size? [04:34] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, you get into bios yet? [04:34] f11 = boot menu [04:34] <[Screamo]> =/ [04:35] Here is the link alsa provided me! http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=8f999b98c1b2f23cae05e6bf82cdd45c77f254a0 [04:35] nope i'm back at the username screen [04:35] <[Screamo]> what kind of desktop is it, so i can look up how to get into bios for you [04:35] <[Screamo]> or, you could try kitting all the F keys [04:35] ok let me find someplace where i have it's details [Screamo] [04:35] <[Screamo]> i think on this mobo bios = holding down del key for 5 seconds =/ [04:37] Was that the output that you guys needed?

I would like to see (as maco suggested) the file generated by "bash alsa-info.sh" using http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh [04:38] [Screamo]: kelberry gave it above [04:38] Oh, I did output it in an earlier message, thanks for assisting though Screamo. :) [04:38] <[Screamo]> oh [04:38] <[Screamo]> i misread it as her asking what was the output you wanted [04:38] <[Screamo]> >.> [04:39] is there a way to force apt-get to flush its database? [04:40] yes sudo apt-get clean [04:41] [Screamo], http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A780GXH/128M [04:41] kelberry: alsa config looks good, there are a few squirrely messages in the dmesg at the bootom, but nothing to worry about yet. [04:41] Oh, okay. [04:41] So what are your suggestions? :) [04:43] kelberry: how are you plugged in to sound? external speakers? headhpones? [04:43] Headphones at the moment. [04:44] kelberry: it's hard to tell if the headphone socket is connected to the interal audio or the soundcard. Can you connect around back to the headphone socket that is near the main socket bay (not the pci card) [04:45] help please how to add different workspace? i accidentally deleted mine [04:45] Um, sure! Let me try. :) [04:45] [Screamo], it's f2 [04:45] got it!

[04:47] kelberry: sure, but make sure speakers are connected to the main bay (internal sound) and not the soundcard [04:48] [Screamo], did it say where in bios to look? I don't see it (sorry should have told you i'm visually impaired) [04:49] Hey all. I've found that my local postgre sql server isn't starting automatically... any ideas how to get it to start automatically? [04:50] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, not sure, just look around [04:50] I think I can only plug into the sound card, I can't seem to find another audio plug in, other than the front of my computer. [04:51] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, do you have a Livecd you could boot into? [04:51] not for 9.04 but for 10.04 i do [04:51] <[Screamo]> i would try that [04:52] <[Screamo]> i dont see the bios disabling something by itself [04:52] <[Screamo]> so boot into the livecd, and if it still doesn't work, i think its safe to say that your NIC is fried [04:53] can anyone help me with dual monitor problems [04:53] kelberry: ok. looking something up... [04:54] hi all. i have gkrellm installed and wanted the eth0 to popup gkrellm on usage i tried the command mplayer /home/username/Downloads/beep.wav && wmctrl -a "gkrellm" however it didnt seem to work correctly so i made a .sh for it to run, any suggestions on improving this please. [04:55] hey xchat's "beep in private message" does NOT ork [04:55] no sound is made [04:55] Ubuntu can generate other system sounds (critical stop, dialog error, dialog question) and other sources cna play audio (Flash, mplayer, rythembox) [04:56] but xchat fails to beep [04:56] Is this supposed to be a motherboard beep? [04:56] [Screamo], what i don't have is a CD/DVD drive. not on this box. I might have another nic card, i can't believe it fried just by overloading it with stuff being open? [04:56] <[Screamo]> chalcedny, you might try putting the other card in there [04:58] <[Screamo]> r000t, if im not mistaken, xchat trys to use sounds in /.xchat2/sounds [04:58] yeah just realized that [04:58] [Screamo], i have a pile of them, how do i tell which ones aren 't antiques? [04:58] <[Screamo]> by default that folder doesnt exist [04:58] imma replace them with Vent sounds now instead of Scout sounds [04:58] do they need special names? [04:58] anyone have cedega can help me out with something? [04:58] <[Screamo]> not sure [04:59] woo 1337 users [04:59] can someone tell me the proper way to install ubuntulooks engine? [04:59] hello, is there a rolling release of ubuntu? [04:59] :) [04:59] dan [04:59] damn* [04:59] lucas-arg: no [04:59] fun while it lasted :D [04:59] <[Screamo]> back again [04:59] xangua: is gonna ever be one? [05:00] canonical says no [05:00] I play steam games through cedega recently. I found thier support is a lil behind the curve (no support) even though it's paid. I have a mouse issue after I play a few minutes where the game window will not register input anymore. wonder if anyone knows a fix [05:00] does anyone know why there would be a huge difference between free space and available free space when you use df I have about 20 Gb just not available to be used [05:00] canonical should think about it then... i hope they do [05:00] can someone tell me the proper way to install ubuntulooks engine? [05:02] nikon: open synaptic and type ubuntulooks... should be a package named like that gtk-engies-ubuntu-looks or ubuntulooks or something like that [05:02] Can someone help me set up a vpn ? [05:02] Your face when 1337 people are in the Ubuntu IRC [05:02] hello [05:02] and only of them has ops === david is now known as Guest78508 [05:03] how can I prohibit a partition from mounting on startup? [05:03] Remove it from the bootloader [05:04] matthew_: put "noauto" in its entry in /etc/fstab [05:04] matthew_: at the options part where it says "defaults" [05:04] matthew_: just add a comma and "noauto" [05:04] maco, thank you very much [05:07] the last update in Lucid messed up gthumb and GIMP >:o [05:07] lol [05:09] why is it so quiet in here? [05:09] GIMP crashes when certain tools are selected and gthumb never opens [05:09] we need 2 more people them we will have 1337 users [05:09] then* [05:09] and then what? [05:10] idk [05:10] :D [05:11] how do I change my workgroup for windows [05:11] wow ... I have never seen this channel so dead [05:11] piyushmishra, are you testing your luck in this channel? [05:11] <[Screamo]> lol.. [05:11] tucemix: somewhat ya [05:11] :P [05:12] piyushmishra: this ain't a Windowz channel ... [05:12] 1337 users [05:12] tucemix: oops I forgot am on ubuntu [05:12] zetheroo, yup yup why dont you ask questions or is your ubuntu running just fine [05:12] piyushmishra, yup yup head on to ##windows [05:12] ucemix: am on network where all other pcs are win [05:12] y007ghg7: why are you counting users :P [05:12] idk [05:12] cause we had 1337 users [05:13] tucemiux: did you not see my above issue? [05:13] tucemix: you are getting me wrong man I am on ubuntu and other pcs are on win how do I change my workgroup [05:13] tucemiux: the last update in Lucid messed up gthumb and GIMP - GIMP crashes when certain tools are selected and gthumb never opens [05:14] if i do update-manager -d and upgrade everything, is upgrade going to be the lastest ubuntu? im asking this since i dont want to loose all configurations and software installed and start all over again... is it possible? is it ok to do this? [05:14] tucemiux: whats with "yup yup"? :P [05:14] lucas-arg: -d means it takes you to the deveopment version [05:14] lucas-arg: itll take you to 10.10 alpha 2 [05:15] maco: but when final release is out, if i do that that will take me to lastest ubutnu, am i right? [05:15] lucas-arg: If you want a rolling distro like Ubuntu try Debian unstable or testing. [05:15] zetheroo, sorry but i dont use 'oi mate' [05:15] lucas-arg: no it ALWAYS means development version if you use -d [05:16] tucemiux: hehe [05:16] anyone knws how to change the workgroup in a network? [05:16] lucas-arg: if you just want a stable release, thatll show in the top part of update-manager normally [05:16] piyushmishra: smb.conf [05:16] so i have to re-download the cd every 6 months and start all over again? [05:16] lucas-arg: if youre on a LTS release itll only show the next LTS by default. you change that in system -> administration -> software sources [05:16] lucas-arg: no [05:16] maco: Well, sometimes it means an LTS that hasn't hit .1 yet. [05:16] piyushmishra, right clich computer --> properties [05:16] zetheroo: where is that file? [05:17] Jordan_U: by "sometimes" you mean "only with lucid" right? because hardy didnt make you wait til .1 [05:17] /etc/samba/smb.conf [05:17] lucas-arg: no [05:17] maco: so if i set it to normal releases and wait until 10.10 is out, i can upgrade to that version with synaptic? [05:17] maco: Yes, and likely future versions. [05:17] piyushmishra: ^^ [05:17] lucas-arg: yes [05:17] zetheroo.tucemix: ty lemme try [05:17] maco: so its "kinda" rolling release... i mean... i can have lastest version anyways and not loose all what ive done... [05:18] Jordan_U: hmmm now i wonder whether hardy's update manager on kubuntu will stupidly suggest 10.10 when kubuntu 8.04 wasnt lts and so kubuntu 8.04 -> 10.04 upgrades arent supported [05:18] lucas-arg: it's not rolling, no. the closest you get to rolling is constantly running the devel version [05:18] lucas-arg: its just that it allows upgrade-over-the-internet [05:18] lucas-arg: That's not what makes a distro a rolling release distro. A rolling distro doesn't have releases at all. [05:18] lucas-arg: the release names in /etc/apt/sources.list will still be updated for example [05:19] piyushmishra: btw, samba networking sucks in Ubuntu ... so you may want to try getting your shares working across the network some other way [05:19] Jordan_U: i dont actually remember that .1 thing being decided at UDS either. i wonder what session i was in at the time... [05:20] Jordan_U: maco, i know the point u are refering, but... what im trying to know is if i just upgrade whenever 10.10 is out, from synaptic... im going to have lastest release (if i configure to do so) so i dont have to download the cd again and re-install all packages ive downloaded already... [05:20] anyone experienced with dvd::rip? [05:20] lucas-arg: yes you will [05:20] lucas-arg: its called an online upgrade [05:20] zetheroo: can you tell me how? [05:20] lucas-arg: or a dist-upgrade [05:20] lucas-arg: when 10.10 is released you can upgrade and yes you will have the latest 10.10 release at that time [05:21] piyushmishra: have you tried Samba first? [05:21] maco: great... thanks, i was thinking on moving to rolling release distro, but i see now how it works... [05:22] zetheroo: yes I can share files and access other ppl's files also [05:22] piyushmishra: ok cool ... it's working for you then ;) [05:22] zetheroo: just needed to change my workgroup n ty u helped me do that [05:22] piyushmishra: no worries [05:26] hello fellow linux associates [05:26] hey bricky [05:26] hows it going tonight? weekend was awsome! [05:26] relaxed [05:27] hehe hardly what mine was like, offroading :D [05:27] we smashed them up good, [05:28] junk vans on private property [05:28] killer baja :) lol [05:28] shaka when the walls fell [05:28] MacBook Pro 5,1 + lucid = no wireless (BCM4322). any tips? [05:29] !broadcom | owen1 [05:29] owen1: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:30] out of curiousity. no one tested broadcom on lucid BEFORE shipping lucid? [05:30] I'm running Crunchbang on a Dell Mini9 with the BCM4322 [05:30] I doubt it. [05:30] It's junk hardware anyway. === justin__ is now known as iono45 [05:30] owen1: did you use the restricted driver manager? [05:30] owen1 [05:31] you want the wl-broadcom driver [05:31] yeah [05:31] maco: yes. i see the wireless networks around me. just can't connect to anyone... [05:31] how do you copy a DVD which is over a regular DVD size? [05:31] owen1: im having the same problem. [05:31] oh [05:31] how can i apt-get install "just the security updates" ? [05:31] * maco shurgs [05:31] *shrugs [05:31] bricky: even with no encription i can't connect [05:31] pukeko: system -> administration -> software sources. disable the regular updates [05:32] which brings me to my 'in depth research' after monthes on and off. [05:32] guys, what is the command to echo max amount of memory installed? [05:32] maco: its a headless box cli only [05:32] it can be found in cat /proc/meminfo [05:32] zetheroo: try k9copy [05:32] a pass through grep and sed should be able to reduce it [05:32] bricky: did u follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:32] pukeko: oh. edit /etc/apt/sources.list and get rid of the lucid-updates or whatever your version is line [05:32] fodder70: kde app? [05:32] pukeko: but leave lucid-security [05:33] probably , im on gnome [05:33] i have b43-fwcutter. it's still not working [05:33] is anyone running the latest ubuntu netbook? [05:33] maco: ahha ! but how to auto update them ? [05:33] how is it? [05:33] I'm really rather annoyed at the devs right now [05:33] owen1: fwcutter is for with the b43 driver not the wl driver [05:33] owen1: which driver did you cut and use, [05:33] owen1: the wl driver is the proprietary one made by broadcom for the card [05:33] bricky: i don't know [05:33] pukeko: cron [05:33] maco: where do i get wl? [05:33] has anyone had a simular problem with the asus eeepcs just all of sudden shutting off? [05:34] I am using dvd::rip to backup my DVD's and most of them will stall on the ripping part ... the DVD's are in good condition though ... [05:34] I want to be a part of this community but can't be as in order to deal with some junk the devs put into the repository I had to graft my system in a way that makes it unlike any other system [05:34] zetheroo: ill tell you how it goes in about 7 more minutes [05:34] owen1: restricted manager [05:34] owen1: I couldnt even get my light to turn on which laptop do you use? [05:34] can Python 3.1 and the installed 2.6 exist side by side in Lucid? Is it just a matter of just doing an 'apt-get install python3.1' ? [05:34] maco: do u mean 'sudo jockey-gtk' ? [05:34] owen1: yeah [05:34] bricky: macbookpro [05:34] fodder70: ;) [05:34] ok how do i copy files into a folder with root permission? [05:34] maco: so its just apt-get update ? does this install the available updates ? [05:34] is there a channel for eee pcs and ubuntu? [05:34] owen1: though you should use gksudo [05:34] owen1: never use sudo with a graphica app [05:35] pukeko: that checks or updates [05:35] maco: i have the restricted driver green. enabled. [05:35] pukeko: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade [05:35] ok how do i copy files into a folder with root permission? [05:35] I'd love to see a demonstration that X11 messaging doesn't carry any exploits [05:36] maco: cool so that combined with a commented out sources.list will auto update security updates only then ? cool [05:36] pukeko: yeah if you put that in your cron config [05:36] how is the ubuntu netbook edition? [05:36] nikon: sudo [05:36] maco: cheers man [05:36] nikon: sudo cp file /path/to/new/location [05:36] thnxs [05:37] maco: security updates dont break things do they ?

Adobe Flash [05:54] netwidget: #ubuntu-server for server edition support [05:55] whats the ubuntu netbook channel? [05:55] sebsebseb: ohh got yah well it loads fine but just the general surfing is slow but updates are as fast as always [05:55] glick: This one [05:56] jarrett: Firefox :) and the speed will be improved in Firefox 4. Anyway the best browser for Desktop Linux and that is also rather fast, for me is Konqueror :) and thats one of my browsers of choice after Firefox, and the one I would normally use I guess [05:57] jarrett: KDE app though, so will want to put on quite a lot of KDE apps on if you haven't installed a KDE app before, but not a problem, as long as your partition insn't really stupidly sized, and Desktop Linux is designed to have many apps installed without problems, unlike Windows. [05:57] jarrett: Epiphany is also nice the Gnome default browser, and the previous default Gnome browser Galeon is quite nice as well. [05:57] hi [05:59] subsebseb: well im running ubuntu 10.4 now with the default firefox and i've never had a problem before with it but after the update to version 10 for some reason now firefox is running slow.

[06:08] maybe I need a cpu that I can go from 200mhz up to 3.0ghz :) [06:08] coDebian [06:08] I play most the native linux games I have it booting vrom a virtual hard disk [06:08] rinku_kokiri: coLinux? [06:08] colinux + debian [06:09] it only looses 3% power that way and I do not have to repartition my HDD [06:09] and sebsebseb get Sims Workin and i'll fully switch :D :D [06:09] sebsebseb: thanks Konqueror did the trick don't know why firefox was being slow but Konqueror isn't! [06:09] hey: ok and you do web browsing and such in your Linux vm? [06:09] and wine is still virtualization and it eats a TON of power. I have a rough time with it [06:09] jarrett: indeed its rather fast isn't it? [06:09] yes [06:09] llol [06:09] my windows is only for games [06:09] The bottom half of my screen will sometimes randomly have black horizontal lines flash over it. Is this likely due to a buggy video card driver? It's an integrated Intel card. I need to know whether I should contact the manufacturer on warranty or if it's a software issue. [06:09] hey: mine is for that and syncing my ipod [06:09] hey: ok good, so helping with Linux market share when you can :) well browser market share and such at least [06:10] The lines last for a fraction of a second, and the issue has only appeared in the last month or so. [06:10] rinku_kokiri: you can do the latest Sims in Wine [06:10] haha yea [06:10] does system bios init graphics card? [06:10] it is tough to get someone to try ubuntu [06:10] hey: so you mainly play Windows games on the computer? hence no dual boot? [06:10] It really doesn't impair usability, but I fear it's a sign of a degrading monitor that will eventually become worthless. [06:10] they are so windows set never will busge [06:11] when I play my linux games I boot nativly off my virtual hard drive [06:11] I use WUBI [06:11] hey: they are all so what? locked into Windows? well yes. Oh by the way there are loads of other great Linux distros out there as well :) not even this site has them all. http://www.distrowatch.com [06:11] hey: oh wubi [06:12] haha yea [06:12] hey does anyone know why df will show disk spaced used and then the disk space available does not correspond to how much should be left [06:12] I am accually compiling a tech CD [06:12] hey: ok for short term Ubuntu useage, when it works, not so great for long term useage. Proper partitioned install is better :) I thought you were actsaully running a vm of Ubuntu inside WIndows. [06:12] hey: compiling a tech CD? [06:12] yea [06:13] so far I have 7 installed and working AV that scan windows partitions running in linux === gallifrey is now known as alco-ninja [06:13] sebsebseb: Alot faster than firefox was. Wonder if you know this one. Ok I updaded another comp. that was running 9.10 to version 10 It was using a usb wireless internet adapter and now version 10 won't even acknowledge the device and only way to get on the net is to be hard wired. so what happened? [06:13] I have been playing with remastersys [06:13] and making my own boot cd [06:14] onlything is I had a hard enough time using debian bulds and such getting everything installed I do not want to try with diffrent distro [06:15] when the software app is not good enough it is a head ache doing everything manually [06:15] jarrett_: indeed Konqueror is faster than FIrefox, its also a file manager, used to be the default for KDE before Dolphin. Also surely you have heard of Google Chrome maybe even chromium which you can get from the repo if you really want. Anyway they use Webkit, which is the rendering engine Apple's Safari uses as well, and its a fork of the KHTML one that Konqueror uses to display webpages. Chrome/Chromeium :( ,but better than Internet [06:15] Explorer. Firefox and Konqueror and such :) [06:16] jarrett_: I wonder why Apple didn't just improve KHTML instead of making their own version of it.

I don't want to mess around with bios too much. [07:05] kelberry: depends on the BIOS, unfortunately. each has a different configuration of where stuff shows up [07:06] Ah, okay, are there any key things I should look for?

[08:18] newboon2age, hhmm [08:19] now i just need program(apps) suggestion :/ [08:19] nomorenick: Try cairo-dock in cairo mode, by starting it with -c (cairo-dock -c) [08:19] nomorenick, ^^ [08:19] <[Screamo]> cairo dock is horrible for a lsow comp [08:19] k will do.

[08:20] yes i did it already : D [08:20] abhi_nav: on that page it seems to indicate tga could possibly work also. [08:20] maxwellian: but you can tell me how to open up a log file using the terminal : D - it's not too late [08:20] do I need to prepare anything in my side? or is it a problem on the vnc server side? [08:20] ross_: Oh, thanks goodness. ;) [08:20] newboon2age, what is 'tga'? [08:20] it was help with... something that was bothering me lol i can't exactly remember... [08:20] ross_: Which logfile?

[08:21] ross_: Okay, type 'sudo less /var/log/rkhunter.org' [08:21] i can open it the hard way, but how do you open it using the terminal [08:21] ok [08:21] nomorenick, what was your nick yesterday? [08:21] student [08:21] abhi_nav: it also says "Add the ability use JPEG files as splash images. At this time, only 8-bit JPEG images will display correctly." [08:21] ross_: less is a pager which will show you one screen at a time of a log. [08:21] you mean .log? [08:21] nomorenick, I see [08:21] i remember now you helped me with docky settings [08:21] i needed to auto hide it [08:21] :p [08:21] newboon2age, hmm [08:21] docky = fail [08:21] ross_: Yes, sorry, just copied what you wrote. :P [08:22] i need to use a dock with out compiz effects [08:22] abhi_nav: and "Note that images need to be in RGB color format to be displayed, rather than indexed." [08:22] as my netbook can't handle effects too wel [08:22] nomorenick, try cairo with -c option [08:22] well* [08:22] i will. thanks. [08:22] newboon2age, now from where shoudl i produce that rgb format image? [08:22] abhi_nav: but also that you can "Add a user-owned directory in which GRUB 2 will search for available splash images." [08:22] maxwellian: man I haven't touched windows in a week and I am proud [08:22] ross_: Also, often you only want to see the most recent additions to the log, like if something just happened. For that it's usually easier to 'sudo tail what.log' [08:22] abhi_nav: which tells me it doesn't know about the directory by default. [08:22] newboon2age, ok. I gave up. leave it. :'( [08:23] ross_: Cool, glad you're having some success! [08:23] maxwellian: the only thing that i dont' like is there's no itunes [08:23] abhi_nav i start it in term with cairo-dock -c command? [08:23] can i run memtest from a live usb-stick with 10.04? [08:23] maxwellian: rhythmbox just doesn't cut it for me [08:23] abhi_nav: you could use Gimp. I'm pretty sure that produces .png rgb images [08:23] diddnt find the option [08:24] I have just installed ubuntu to a USB stick but now / gets mounted as read-only. And also Gnome of X doesn't want to start if I'm not in recovery mode (I assume this will be solved if the drive gets mounted as read/write). Can anyone help me solve this? [08:24] nomorenick, in startup applications you have to add it so it wll start automatically when you start computer. there under command write cairo-dock -c [08:24] how do you exit the sudo bash command? [08:24] abhi_nav: sometime i'll try it cuz i dislike the black background. [08:24] ross_: I'm sure you're not alone. :P I avoid iTunes for the same reason I use Ubuntu, I hate not having control over my user experience. [08:24] ross_: Just type 'exit' [08:25] newboon2age, hmm. its so much time consuming. I gave up [08:25] will it start automatically with -c settings? [08:25] oh ok [08:25] thanks [08:25] can i run memtest from a live usb-stick with 10.04? in that case where do i find it? [08:25] omg cairo is so pretty!!! [08:25] maxwellian: do you recommend any other softwares similar to itunes that is usable in linux? [08:25] ross_: Proprietary hardware which only works with proprietary software sucks the big one. [08:25] abhi_nav: yeah, it could be something as simple as a path being wrong or in a directory that Grub2 doesn't know about. [08:25] maxwellian: yepp [08:25] it definately works better than awn and docky cairo is a keeper! [08:26] ok [08:26] has noone ran memtest from a live 10.04? [08:27] abhi_nav: also see this "The following shows the addition of a user's own splash directory and added JPEG support:" [08:27] come on now.. they can't have removed it? [08:27] abhi_nav: for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/grub,/home/drs/mysplash}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga,jpg,jpeg} ; do [08:27] newboon2age, I know. I am not interested in it now. Leave it. I am not interested. [08:27] ross_: Well I guess I should have mentioned another reason I don't use iTunes: I don't have enough music to bother with a music manager. :) [08:28] maxwellian: man I have like 60 gbs of music [08:28] * maxwellian chokes [08:29] maxwellian: how do you "choke" on here?? [08:29] ross_: Check out this page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes [08:29] I have libgtk 1.2 and 1.2-dev installed but this app still cant see it... any idea what i am doing wrong [08:29] ross_: That's an IRC thing, just '/me does something' [08:30] Sereph: Where was it installed? [08:30] Sereph: And where is the app looking? :) [08:30] * ross_ screams [08:30] abhi_nav: ok, just one more point. if you change anything in /etc/grub.d and you MUST run 'sudo update-grub' or nothing will change. [08:30] that is so cool [08:31] newboon2age, this is statement or question? :p [08:31] ross_: Heh. :) [08:31] * abhi_nav does something [08:31] ?? [08:31] maxwellian: its not installed its a .sh script that is supposed to install it [08:32] abhi_nav: a statement. I had that problem when i was changing my grub2 options before... i forgot to run that command and nothing changed till i did. [08:32] maxwellian: what's the command for listing the IP address for the computer? [08:32] Sereph: Usually installing a package installs the software...? [08:32] newboon2age, so after doing update-grub only changes will take effect? [08:33] ross_: That depends, are you using a router? [08:33] ross_: ifconfig [08:33] maxwellian: yes [08:33] newboon2age, now testing. wait [08:33] abhi_nav: any time you make a change to /etc/grub.d you MUST run 'sudo update-grub' or no change will take effect. [08:33] maxwellian: so what is it [08:33] I installed ubuntu to a usb stick but it gets mounted as read-only. Can anyone help me change it to read/write ? [08:33] ross_: As far as I know, you can't see your external address from inside the network. [08:34] maxwellian: its a commertial game that runs on linux... it has no package... just a sh script [08:34] Matt1, hi [08:34] ross_: ifconfig (thanks MaRk-I) will tell you your local IP address, but if you're using a router, it's usually using NAT to communicate with the Internet. [08:34] maxwellian: ok [08:35] ross_: So are you looking to find out your IP as the Internet sees you? [08:35] ross_: Or just the address of your machine locally? [08:35] maxwellian: nevermind i figured it out [08:35] ross_: What did you do? :) [08:35] maxwellian: that reverse DNS thing is dangerous [08:36] maxwellian: is there a way to block the reverse DNS? [08:36] ross_: Which reverse DNS? [08:36] ross_: In what context? [08:36] jan-pieter: which tool did you use to create the usb pen drive? [08:37] Sereph: And did you run the install script? [08:37] newboon2age : you mean to create start up disk ? [08:37] maxwellian: yes and it gave that error [08:37] maxwellian: i was just reading how people can reverse DNS you and find your ip that's assigned by your ISP, and I read how they can geographically tract people [08:38] oasa: yes, jan-pieter? [08:38] maxwellian: which is pretty scary [08:38] ross_: thats how the internet works, nothing scary at all [08:39] k [08:39] newoborn2age : You can use unetboot. Great tool [08:39] newboon2age: I just installed it to the usb drive [08:39] i just finished using nmap to check my laptop, and the result said that all my ports are filtered, is that good? [08:39] ross_: if you don't like it, consider using services like TOR [08:39] If that scares you, I'd hate to see you after you find out what the NSA is doing. [08:39] oasa: yes, that one's good. [08:39] Hello everyone ! [08:40] newboon2age: Sorry. I thought its you who needs help. [08:40] hi lunavorax [08:40] :) [08:40] Hello how do i disable the nouveau module/driver? [08:40] jan-pieter: so you didn't use unetbootin or USB Creator, you just did an install? [08:40] oasa: no prob. :) [08:40] y:D [08:40] Sereph: Can you cd to where the install script is and type 'grep libgtk install.sh', replacing install.sh with the name of the script? [08:40] newboon2age: I now saw the it remount the root partition as read-only [08:40] I just a normal install [08:41] I don't know what fs to choose for a hard drive i'll use only for storage [08:41] llutz: thanks man that is so cool i will check it out - are you speaking from experience? have you used tor before? [08:41] lunavorax : Which all operating system do you mingle with ? [08:41] I only use ubuntu 10.04 (64bits) [08:41] jan-pieter: oh, that's interesting. hmm.... [08:42] lunavorax; i think you want fat [08:42] lunavorax : If you dont want to use your hard drive with any other os then I would always recommend you to use ext3 or ext4 [08:42] jan-pieter: i thought i had the answer if you'd used one of the other programs. Tell me did you unplug your HD before you did the install? [08:42] rafael ? fat ? no way [08:42] lunavorax : If you are using Windows OS,Mac FAT32 is recommended. [08:42] I'm storing big files over 4go [08:42] Ok [08:42] so that'll be ext4 [08:43] :) Lunavorax [08:43] It would be better if you use ext3. [08:43] aw man i was messing with the settings in cairo but nothing seems to have changed. [08:43] newboon2age: I plugged in my usb stick in the laptop and installed it to that usb stick. I kept everything plugged in [08:43] jan-pieter: i tried to do it that way but i didn't unplug my HD and i ended up having to go a Grub2 reinstall, cuz when i unplugged the USB stick it wouldn't boot right. [08:43] oasa oh ok that'll be ext3 then [08:44] oasa: but why ? [08:44] does there exists any alpha/daily built live iso's that I can use instead of installing xorg-edgers on my current system? [08:44] ahbi_nav, do you know how to make cairo transparent? not the dock, but the icon background, at the moment it's black and annoying when i go over an icon [08:44] jan-pieter: at the time it freaked me out because i hadn't dealt with Grub2 before, but it turned out to be not too big of a deal. [08:44] Lunavorax : performance wise, ext4 have proved much superior. But compatibility wise. [08:44] ross_: i use tor sometimes and i'm supporting tor with operating a tor middle-node, sharing some bandwidth to the network [08:44] which is good software to play DVD and CD movie and support any video formate please? [08:44] sorry ^ that was phrased badly === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [08:44] i would also like to know how to autohide the dock. [08:44] ok i understand oasa [08:44] GHH : Totem is good otherwise you can use VLC [08:45] So ext3, ok [08:45] anyone else is also welcome to help me :/ [08:45] All in all, is there any difference between using the dual quotes <"> and single quotes <'>, in commands ? During my Python scripting yesterday night I issued same del and mkdir commands with folder and file names and they both acted identically by what I see. [08:45] Thank you all very much ! ;) [08:45] jan-pieter: hey, its not a simple thing like do you have a switch on the USB pen drive that allows you to make it read only? [08:45] newboon2age: It boot's fine in recovery-mode and grub does everything it should do. (BTW I installed grub to my USB so the bootloader of my HD is still fine) [08:45] See you [08:45] nomorenick : Whats your problem ? [08:45] GHH: vlc or gmplayer [08:45] see you lunavorax [08:45] newboon2age: There is now switch [08:45] hrllo [08:45] hello* [08:45] no one? oh well :/ [08:45] jan-pieter: no switch. That'd be too easy i suppose. :) [08:46] Hello DexterLB [08:46] rautamiekka: Do you mean what's the difference to Python? [08:46] nomorenick : Whats your problem ? [08:46] vlc not support many type of formate such as dat file [08:46] rautamiekka: Or to the shell? [08:46] I'm currently using lucid on this PC. [08:46] I also have a server [08:46] Thats nice DexterLB :D [08:46] but I'm forced to have windoze there [08:46] maxwell: To the shell. I came to this question as side-testing. [08:47] so I have a coLinux VM on the server [08:47] newboon2age: I just checked the disk with disk-utility on my desktop and it says the disk is fine [08:47] and I run all my server stuff - apache, pptp, znc etc on the VM [08:47] okay [08:47] but it's jaunty and I need an upgrade [08:47] oasa, is it support any type of video formate? [08:47] jan-pieter: maybe is it a problem with permissions? [08:47] GHH : yes. Almost all. :D [08:48] my problem is that i want to autohide cairo-dock but i dont know how to [08:48] also i would like to make the icon background transparent, not the dock. [08:48] i want to keep the dock how it is, but whenever i go over an icon the icon background turns black [08:48] so, do you think coLinux is the best solution or there is a better virtualization software? [08:48] oasa, then fine [08:48] newboon2age: If I boot in recovery-mode there is a message like: Error something. Remounting as read-only. [08:48] oasa, what you think about gmplayer? [08:48] GHH: no video player plays every format, I use mplayer and vlc and use whichever works [08:49] rautamiekka: I suppose it could be different from shell to shell, but the default Ubuntu shell is bash. [08:49] DexterLB: I was recommended to use Xen if I ever were to try VMing. [08:49] hi [08:49] !hi | deusr [08:50] deusr: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [08:50] nomorenick: you may need to run cairo-dock with -c option... that means no OpenGL .. i have to do that with mine. quit cairo-dock then in a terminal type: cairo-dock -c & disown .. also hiding it is easy to do. [08:50] Dexterlb : I think CoLinux is really good. And yeah Xen is also good. [08:50] someone help me? http://pastebin.com/3YpiwsiB [08:50] Dulak, some time vlc give me error. But no problem to play mpeg file [08:50] jan-pieter: you lost me. why reboot in recovery mode? [08:50] rautamiekka: And to Bash, double quotes interpolate variables, single quotes don't. [08:50] I am not able to load the update [08:50] GHH: yeah welcome to the world of 10,000 video codecs [08:51] Dulak: Heh. :) [08:51] rautamiekka: help me? [08:51] deusr: What's the content of "/etc/apt/sources.list" ? Also have you tried other Repository Server ? [08:51] rautamiekka: http://pastebin.com/3YpiwsiB [08:51] one monnent [08:51] Dulak, video codecs? [08:52] how do you configure the log in screen? I currently have my login screen configured for KDE, but i want to change it [08:52] it's a KDE login screen, and I want to change it back to gnome [08:52] newboon2age: because I get a black screen when gnome (or X, I'm not sure) starts in normal mode [08:52] ross_: You're running Ubuntu, but you wanted to try the KDE login screen, so you installed it? [08:52] hi i need the solution for gnomenu in jaunty ubuntu: [Bug 507888] Re: W: Error de GPG: http://ppa .launchpad.net jaunty Release Las firmas siguientes no se pudieron verificar porque su llave pública no est á disponible: NO_PUBKEY F45E32D195B47D2A [08:53] maxwellian: Interpolate, as in mark the starting and ending points for variables ? [08:53] rautamiekka: http://pastebin.com/pbqyp25e [08:53] jan-pieter: and did this only start after the install to usb pen drive? [08:53] <[diablo]> good morning all... heres a question for you... I would like to have one of my virtual servers have installed with *all* the documentation to all packages (the /usr/share/doc/) , so I have a central reference point... anyone know how this can be done please? [08:53] GHH: video formats are encoded/decoded from thier format using a codec, like a driver for video formats. There are thousands of them and there are issues because so many are not open and free [08:53] deusr: change to different repo servers [08:53] newboon2age: And If I go in recovery-mode and login from the shell, and then use "startx" then X fails because It can't write to the disk. (It booted perfectly from the live cd) [08:53] deusr: The list is correct, so it is more likely the Repo Server. [08:54] maxwellian: i installed the KDE desktop environment along with xefe to check out the user ability and the feel of them [08:54] rautamiekka: Interpolate, as in replace the variable name with the variable value. [08:54] maxwellian: Ah, gotcha. [08:54] maxwellian: but now when the computer boots up [08:54] Dulak, you mean , i need to install video codecs? [08:54] maxwellian: the login environment is KDE, but i want to change it back to gnome login env. - the way it used to be , how do i do it? [08:54] GHH: windows covers it all up so you don't know just how crazy complicated video is. Linux is getting there but still issues [08:54] Dulak. Yes [08:55] sorry GHH YES [08:55] i need the parameters of console for to have a solution. [08:55] MaRk-I: rautamiekka, how do I change the repository? [08:56] GHH: yup There is a big package of codecs you can d/l from the medibuntu repo. but they are mainly for mplayer [08:56] deusr: Just replace the "br." with like "fi." or simply leave it out totally and it uses the Master Repo Server. [08:56] oasa, what is the package name to install (apt-get)? [08:56] deusr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [08:56] jan-pieter: and did this only start after the install to usb pen drive? [08:56] ok!! [08:56] GHH: ubuntu-restricted-extras normally pulls all codecs needed [08:56] Have anyone solved the problem with too low sound? [08:57] ross_: Try running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' [08:57] newboon2age: What do you mean? [08:58] deusr: System > Administration > Software Sources .. then change the server or let it pick the fastest for you. [08:58] doesn't work lol [08:58] jan-pieter: on this computer was it ever booting Ubuntu from the HD? [08:58] it still gives me the KDE login screen [08:58] bastidrazor: ;) thanks!! [08:59] deusr: you're welcome. [08:59] ross_: Hmmm...at the login screen do you see a way to Select Session... [08:59] !nvida [08:59] ross_ Change it from session [08:59] !hef a' [08:59] i accidently deleted the bottom panel. how do i restore it? [08:59] i only need the console parameters .... hi i need the solution for gnomenu in jaunty ubuntu: [Bug 507888] Re: W: Error de GPG: http://ppa .launchpad.net jaunty Release Las firmas siguientes no se pudieron verificar porque su llave pública no est á disponible: NO_PUBKEY F45E32D195B47D2A [09:00] In that computer only vista is installed [09:00] or else ross_ go to System - > Administrator -> LoginScreen and change session from there [09:00] hey whats is ubottu comand for nvida cards sites [09:00] newboon2age: Only vista is installed on that computer. I never booted ubuntu from the HD [09:00] !nvidia [09:00] !nvidia > meowbuntu [09:00] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:00] meowbuntu, please see my private message [09:01] * rautamiekka goes away -> [09:01] I will sleep here in Brazil is 5 am :D [09:01] by === rautamiekka is now known as rauta--away [09:01] madrid: try adding the key: gpg --export --armor F45E32D195B47D2A | sudo apt-key add - [09:02] jan-pieter: I'm thinking that if it was never booting Ubuntu from the HD -- you had only tried the LiveCD and then did the install to the pen drive that you might be running into a Grub2 problem that would require running the grub-reinstall command (its something like that). Either that or maybe the live CD has a video driver installed that didn't get installed during the install to the pen drive. [09:02] moin [09:02] * GHH thanks oasa and Dulak [09:02] oasa: it's giving me this window [09:02] maybe reinstalling Ubuntu will be faster [09:02] oasa: but i can't unlock it... [09:02] Welcome GHH [09:02] ross_ Press unlock and give the password [09:03] i won't let me unlock it [09:03] i clicked it [09:03] What error is it giving ? ross_ ? [09:03] mark can i copy all the parameters without changing anything? [09:03] ...? [09:03] jan-pieter: so the read-only phenomenon sounds like that is just a side-effect of booting to recovery mode. In a way then that is not the real issue. One thing you can do to alter things on the pen drive though is to boot off the liveCD and then edit whatever, and then try rebooting from the pen drive. repeat until fixed. [09:03] no error, i just won't let me do it [09:04] oasa, Can give me some idea about sendmail? [09:04] madrid: yes just remember there's a dash at the end of the line [09:04] robertzaccour: go to the top panel, right click, choose "new panel" and then drag the new panel to the bottom [09:04] I have 2 ubuntu computers: errietta-laptop and errietta-desktop. When pinging errietta-laptop from errietta-desktop, i get an answer back from errietta-desktop. I can access -laptop fine from its lan ip and i can ping other network devices just fine. Any ideas? [09:04] what's the difference between the official Fluxbuntu release and just installing fluxwm on ubuntu? [09:04] !resetpanels [09:04] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:04] newboon2age: Well If I'm in recovery-mode as root I can start gnome with startx But If I'm not root then gnome hangs [09:04] oasa, I need to configure it only for outgoing(i mean to say that just i want to send mail) [09:04] !sendmail [09:04] madrid: just in case check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu and read how to add keys [09:05] erry: Doesn't soudn like a problem to me [09:05] *sound [09:05] damn it what's wrong with this thing? [09:05] jan-pieter: but as you say, when booting in recovery mode you're always stuck in read-only mode, correct? [09:05] GHH : Where do you face problem ? [09:05] ross_ did you try CUI method ? [09:05] how? [09:05] vlt, im pinging -laptop and -desktop answers [09:05] a dash [09:05] erry: Aah, I see [09:05] vlt, isnt -laptop supposed to answer? [09:05] :p [09:05] sud dpkg-reconfigure gdm? didn't work either [09:06] sudo* [09:06] erry: What does `ifconfig` say on each machine? [09:06] ross_: uninstall kdm and install gdm [09:06] vlt, 1 secv [09:06] sorry was a error [09:06] vlt, 1 sec [09:06] MaRk-I: Seems drastic? [09:06] oasa, ISP did not give us facility to use SMTP and Pop3 . [09:06] mark-I : no i can choose the desktop environment i want, but it's just the login screen that's locked onto KDE login screen and I want to change it back [09:07] maxwellian: cant have kdm and gdm either or [09:07] ross_ [09:07] what's the difference between the official Fluxbuntu release and just installing fluxwm on ubuntu? [09:07] ross_ try gnome-session [09:07] MaRk-I: Sure you can. [09:07] http://pastebin.com/i2k5ChHa [09:07] ross_ [09:07] oasa, and dynamic. And what to do only for send a mail? [09:07] vlt, http://pastebin.com/i2k5ChHa [09:07] ross_ try running gdmsetup by sudo rights [09:07] maxwellian: ok [09:07] newboon2age: That's what I thought. Apparently not because I can edit files :s sorry for that. But I just discovered that gnome sometimes hangs as root as well [09:07] ross_ in terminal type gksudo gdmsetup [09:07] jan-pieter: so i would try 1) figuring out whether its a video drivers problem or a Grub2 problem, 2) boot w/ LiveCD and edit whichever configuration file is appropriate, and 3) reboot w/ pen drive 4) repeat till fixed. [09:08] can i run memtest from a live usb-stick with 10.04? in that case where do i find it? [09:08] I'm thinking i'm going to dual boot my netbook with Windows XP and some form of ubuntu. I'm kind of torn between doing a NR, or going with Xubuntu, which seems to be better equipped for low-spec machines.What would you suggest? [09:08] GHH I think since ISP have blocked, I think you need more professional assistance go to #sendmail [09:08] ok [09:08] jan-pieter: unfortunately i have to head off to sleep now, but i hope that will get you started and maybe someone else here can help you too. :) [09:08] ross_ did that work ? [09:08] erry: What happens when you run `ping 192.168.1.72` on -desktop? [09:08] vlt, works fine === FlameTai1 is now known as FlameTai1|Sleepi [09:09] it says on the terminal - failed to unlock : the name org.gnome.displaymanager was not provided by any .service files [09:09] vlt : it will get pinged. If someone is listening :P [09:09] vlt, the problem is when pinging its name [09:09] what does that mean? [09:09] leven: hold down shift while booting and it should have the memtest option in the grub menu that comes up === jacob_ is now known as kelberry_ [09:09] :) [09:09] oasa, ok [09:09] erry: That's not a ping problem then. It's a resolving issue [09:09] if I got a file selected [09:10] Sorry GHH. I am afraid I very little about sendmail :( [09:10] is there anyway I could get the file name and path in terminal [09:10] vlt, ok, and why does that occur? [09:10] in a shell script [09:10] erry: What exactly did you do? [09:10] newboon2age: thanks :p [09:10] vlt, hh? [09:10] oasa: how to fix...? [09:10] GHH: look for ssmtp, easy to use [09:10] failed to unlock : the name org.gnome.displaymanager was not provided by any .service files [09:10] can anyone help me with installing drivers from the command line in recovery mode? [09:10] jan-pieter: your welcome, have a good day and hope Ubuntu is a great experience for you! [09:11] vlt, what do you mean? [09:11] erry: You said there was a problem when pinging, but it isn't. So what did you do, what did you expect and what did you get? [09:11] WXZ: pwd should show the current working directory not sure what filename you are looking for [09:11] newboon2age: I've been using ubuntu for a year now and it's great most of the time :p [09:11] vlt, im pinging errietta-laptop and i expect an answer from errietta-laptop not errietta-desktop [09:11] llutz, i am also little about sendmail... where i have to look? [09:11] i cant ssh to it cause it goes back to errietta-desktop [09:11] i have to get its ip each time [09:12] the filename of the currently selected file Dulak [09:12] erry: `host errietta-laptop` [09:13] Dulak: the file I click on [09:13] errietta@errietta-desktop:~$ host errietta-laptop [09:13] errietta-laptop.lan has address 192.168.1.71 [09:13] Host errietta-laptop.lan not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) [09:13] D: [09:13] WXZ: the selected file in a script? I don't understand your question [09:13] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:13] GHH: not sendmail, ssmtp is a simple mail-forwarder if you just need to send mails, easy to configure [09:13] sorrry [09:13] mk,.,mél,áé,á, [09:14] I mean I want to run a script, with a shortcut key [09:14] with files selected in nautilus [09:14] with a file* selected in nautilus [09:14] erry: Ok, your DNS server doesn't know it. Paste /etc/resolv.conf please and /etc/hosts. [09:14] and I want terminal to output the path and filename of that file [09:14] vlt, ok 1 sec [09:14] llutz, how? [09:14] GHH: read documentation [09:14] if i have internet with the ubuntu live cd but not without it, but without it does show me ips in eth2 and eth3 . . how do i fix it? [09:14] erry: on errietta-desktop do: "grep errietta-laptop /etc/hosts" [09:15] sweetpi, nothing [09:16] WXZ: sorry never needed that, no idea how to do it, but I'd bet nautilus would pass the selected file as an argument to the script so look at $1, $2, $3, etc in the script [09:16] chalcedny: Maybe you changed your mac address. Look into /etc/udev/rules.d/*network* and delete old entries [09:16] vlt, http://pastebin.com/ypKri0LR http://pastebin.com/yTvWMc4k [09:16] ross_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? 'lsb_release -a' [09:16] hey guys. I have an usb-stick (8gb) that reports in gparted and fdisk as 64gb. Strange enough. What could be the reason? [09:16] does sshd know to look in /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny , or do i have to specifically tell it to look there in sshd_config ? [09:16] 10.04 lts [09:16] lucid [09:17] Wildweasal: it should use /etc/hosts.* by default [09:17] WXZ: the advanced bash scripting howto has a lot of info on how to deal with arguments [09:17] Mark -I , I need the exact parameters with the key and the name added, it is quite difficult for me to understand in a language other than Spanish [09:17] ross_: Okay. I'm seeing a bug report on this, but not sure if it applies. Hang on. [09:18] ok thanks Dulak [09:18] pidgin isn't notifying me when someone says my name for some reason :\ [09:18] Wildweasal: sshd should respect allow/deny by default [09:18] looks like might be because of the latest kernal i upgraded to, the previous kernel i had no problem [09:18] newboon2age, yes. It worked. :) thnaks. [09:19] abhi_nav: yeah!!!! off to sleep [09:19] newboon2age, also it work only for png images and not for jpg. [09:19] newboon2age, ok bye. :)D [09:19] ross_: Not likely a kernel issue. [09:19] :) [09:19] erry: There's no occurance of -laptop anywhere, so the machine has no chance to resolve that name. _Maybe_ it returns ...1.71 because the part before "-laptop" is the same as with "-desktop" ...? [09:19] ross_: This is a package config issue, I believe. [09:19] vlt, i can resolve other ips in lan tho [09:19] does anyone here know about Fluxbuntu? [09:19] madrid: try adding the key: gpg --export --armor F45E32D195B47D2A | sudo apt-key add - <<< there note the (-) dash [09:19] speedtouch.lan has address 192.168.1.254 [09:19] maxwellian: how do you fix that [09:20] ross_: Still reading, hold on. :) [09:20] erry: Where does that info come from? [09:20] vlt, host speedtouch from errietta-desktop [09:20] ross_: Type 'cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager' [09:20] hoppyite: your ip was showing [09:20] erry: Yes, but where does -desktop know? [09:20] #ubuntu-it [09:21] vlt, huh? [09:21] /usr/sbin/gdm [09:21] is the result [09:21] erry: what? [09:21] vlt, -laptop's hosts and resolv.conf arent different but it can see desktop fine [09:21] ross_: Hmm, that doesn't make sense to me. [09:21] hi, i would like to add an HD to my server (for the /var). Now my server is full and don't work... the command i will do --> http://dpaste.com/215037/ can you validate it? [09:22] erry: What tells -desktop the IP of speedtouch.lan? The DNS server? [09:22] madrid@max50:~$ gpg --export --armor F45E32D195B47D2A | sudo apt-key add - F45E32D195B47D2A [09:22] gpg: ATENCIÓN: no se ha exportado nada [09:22] vlt, probably [09:22] gpg: No se han encontrados datos OpenPGP válidos [09:22] madrid@max50:~$ [09:22] madrid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:22] erry: who are you? [09:22] opij, i am your father [09:22] maxwellian: if it doesn't to you, then it's not even english to me [09:22] does anyone here know about Fluxbuntu? [09:22] hey guys. I have a (factory new) usb-stick (8gb) that reports in gparted and fdisk as 64gb. Strange enough. What could be the reason? The default fat32 partition is in place and in order [09:22] ross_: Okay, well at this point if you're not going to use KDE desktop, just 'sudo apt-get remove kdm' as suggested earlier. [09:22] erry: Ok, but that doesn't know about -laptop [09:22] vlt, it can't not know. they're all connected to the same IP [09:22] erry: see those eyes peekin at you? thats me. [09:22] ok let's see [09:23] opij, geyes? [09:23] erry: sorry im not that way [09:23] !ot [09:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[09:23] it looks weird...the screen when black [09:23] vlt, both computers are on the same router [09:24] the status is checking battery state... [09:24] what the hell? [09:24] erry: This is no ruting issue === xcv is now known as DaZ [09:24] *routing [09:24] then what is it [09:24] erry: A resolving issue [09:24] ross_: The screen is black now? [09:24] i can resolve -laptop from other computer [09:24] computers* [09:25] not entirely black (this is my laptop by the way not my desktop which is what i'm using) [09:25] ross_: Okay, thanks for clarifying. [09:25] could anybody please help me connecting to live.opensuse.org [09:25] erry: And where do they get that info from? [09:25] er.. [09:25] vlt, the router i guess [09:25] it's....checking the battery state... [09:25] I tried most of the methods described on that side, but always get a " remote host closed connection"... [09:25] <^Jay2^> hello, is there any converter from mkv w/ subtitle to mp4 ? [09:25] for a while now, i think it's still uninstalling kde? [09:25] does it take that long? [09:25] skramer_, /newserver live.opensuse.org [09:26] erry: Routers don't resolve names. Maybe from the DNS server. What does `dig errietta-laptop` tell you? [09:26] ross_: Can you see the results of the apt-get command? [09:26] no [09:26] it's stuck at this screen [09:26] ross_: Is your laptop running on battery, not AC? [09:26] abhi_nav: what exactly does this mean? [09:26] does anyone here know about Fluxbuntu? [09:26] i think i'll just wait a little more, might just still be uninstalling [09:26] vlt, http://pastebin.com/BpTdH9gB [09:26] and no, it's not, it's running from AC [09:26] !ask > opij [09:26] opij, please see my private message [09:26] vlt: There's no way dig is going to find that hostname. [09:27] what's the difference between the official Fluxbuntu release and just installing fluxwm on ubuntu? [09:27] vlt: dig expects fully qualified domain names. [09:27] hi i hafe a nvida card with issues Nvidia Geforce 9400M, Nvidia corp C79 (rev b1). installes ok but on reboot it always go back to low graphicks mode [09:27] skramer_, you want to connecto irc server? if not ignore [09:27] Mark -i is this the solution? sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com F45E32D195B47D2A [09:27] in a terminal to resolve this. [09:27] ross_: What is this "checking battery" message? Is it a popup on your Ubuntu desktop? [09:27] madrid: just replace your missing key [09:28] no [09:28] ross_: Can you even see your desktop anymore? [09:28] it's the black screen [09:28] madrid: and yes that one and a second command [09:28] no [09:28] i cannot [09:28] mark how renplace?

Now my server is full and don't work... the command i will do --> http://dpaste.com/215037/ can you validate it please? it's my first time [09:28] opij: I've no idea about fluxbuntu, there is a dedicated irc channel on freenode for it though, try joining #fluxbuntu, there may be somebody there who could help you [09:28] the top of the page it says: fsck from util-linux.ng 2.17.2 [09:28] erry: Ok, then try `host -v errietta-laptop` [09:28] /dev/sda5: clean. 301265/8798208 files, [09:29] starting apparmor profiles [09:29] ross_: It's doing an fsck. [09:29] madrid: just do that [09:29] ross_: File system check. [09:29] meowbuntu, open NVIDIA X Server Settings and set up your monitor and press button Save to X Configuration File try it [09:29] maxwellian: what's that? how long does that take? [09:29] what is the second comand? [09:29] ross_: Apparently your computer rebooted. [09:29] http://pastebin.com/GQnt8EcL [09:29] ross_: Takes a while. It's good for your computer, has to happen once in a while. [09:29] vlt, ^ [09:29] ross_: you are on a console showing system messages, switch back with alt-ctrl-f1-6 [09:29] abhi_nav: no, it's a VNC server I want to contact [09:30] skramer_, ignore and ask in #sue [09:30] !seen [09:30] I have no seen command [09:30] skramer_, #suse [09:30] llutz: ok but um [09:30] llutz: That switches away from the Desktop, not to. [09:30] llutz: i'm stuck on the CUI [09:30] llutz: CLI * [09:30] abhi_nav: k, thanks [09:30] ross_: alt-ctrl-f7 then [09:30] llutz: how do i get my desktop environment back [09:30] madrid: sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv F45E32D195B47D2A && sudo gpg --export --armor F45E32D195B47D2A | sudo apt-key add - [09:31] Hello, can anyone help me? I switched to x64bit and now whenever I boot up after enabling my Nvidia Geforce 9400M card, xorg tells me it cant find a configured screen and boots me into low graphics mode [09:31] llutz: that just put me back into the fsck from util-linux-ng page again [09:31] which is stuck at checking battery state [09:31] erry: Looks like your DNS server gives that wrong answer [09:31] vlt, weird. [09:31] ross_: login and type "sudo service gdm start" [09:31] vlt, my dns server is my router [09:31] is there a way to change which category in applications a program appears in? [09:31] errietta@errietta-desktop:~$ host 192.168.1.254 [09:31] 254.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dsldevice.lan.

[09:32] samuel_ir, /j #ir_am_dev [09:32] erry: technically they're two different devivces [09:32] vlt, well my router is messed up :p [09:32] to dd an image over a network can http do for if= or does it have to be ftp? im having trouble [09:32] lastlog erry [09:32] Sorry. === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [09:32] erry: At least the DNS server part of it ;-) [09:33] vlt, no the rest of it is too. [09:33] mark when i go to reboot my computer gnomenu failure load [09:33] :p [09:33] Hi there, anybody have successful ran mixpod.com songs with rhythmbox? [09:33] vlt, erry: No DNS server is going to resolve an IP for a domain that doesn't exist. [09:33] erry: Maybe it's confused by the same "errietta-" part of both hosts [09:33] madrid: that has nothing to do with your repo keys [09:33] ok i need a photo manager what should i use something like picassa would be great or maby i will just install picassa [09:33] Why doesn't -laptop get confused then? [09:34] -laptop resolves -desktop fine [09:34] i dont get it [09:34] maxwellian: I think the "lan" domain is populated by the DHCP server [09:34] erry: If you're trying to reach your computers by hostname, you need to have the names and IPs in /etc/hosts. [09:34] erry: It's the DNS server that resolves it. And it seems to have only one stored value for "errieta-*" [09:35] vlt, why does -laptop resolve -desktop then [09:35] erry: That's why it worls the other way round [09:35] oh.. [09:35] -_- [09:35] http://nopaste.info/2d373897dc.html -> strangest reading for 4gb usb drive [09:36] oh well thanks i guess [09:36] erry: (what maxwellian said, or get a decent DNS server) [09:36] vlt, well im not sure -laptop sticks to .72 or -desktop sticks to .71 [09:36] HOORAY [09:36] mark dont work and linux is difficult [09:36] so i'd have to change it every time D: [09:36] i got my gnome login screen back lol [09:36] that sudo gdm service start works [09:37] anybody having trouble with cpufreq-selector/CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor? [09:37] oh well see ya [09:37] ross_: Great! [09:37] erry: can't you set "static dhcp" in your router for those hosts [09:37] gpg: No se han encontrados datos OpenPGP válidos [09:37] madrid@max50:~$ [09:37] madrid: that command was just to add the missing repo keys, that has nothing to do with your desktop [09:37] vlt: The only solution I know to erry's problem is to configure static IPs with /etc/interfaces and put the hostnames/IPs in /etc/hosts [09:38] is there anything that i can use to chart my bandwidth in ubuntu? [09:38] vlt: Are you saying there's another way? [09:38] llutz: graci [09:38] vlt: erry left, but I'm curious. [09:38] Hi all, I am rolling out some iPaqs in Germany. Now, they have WiFi on them and one of my reps that uses them is having troubles connecting to her WiFi. I have been asked by this complete numpty at work to research German WiFi networks and WEP keys....is it just me or is that a completely stupid thing to ask me to do? [09:38] man KDE sucks.... [09:38] debugview: what bandwidth, exactly? [09:38] maxwellian: That's what DNS is for ;-) [09:38] xefe is not that bad, though [09:38] how much resolution can ubuntu display with external monitor on a 10 inch netbook with GMA 3150 card? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:38] is there a way to have flash use pulseaudio? [09:38] jgb, the network bandwidth...in/out etc [09:38] maxwellian: do you recommend another desktop environment besides the popular ones? [09:39] debugview: if you want it that basic, just use one of the widgets [09:39] vlt: Obviously I know what DNS is for, but I'm not aware of a way for DNS to work with domain names that don't exist. [09:39] 1366 x 768 possible? [09:39] ross_: Sorry, no. Haven't used any. [09:40] debugview: for example, Netmonitor from the Screenlets app [09:40] mark i only want the console parameters for this problem... [09:40] anyone? any cool desktop environment they'd like to recommend ? [09:40] madrid: send me a pm [09:40] mark what is a pm? [09:41] private message [09:41] maxwellian: The domain name ".lan" exists as soon as the DNS server knows about it (which is the case here) [09:41] if i have internet with the ubuntu live cd but not without it, but without it does show me ips in eth2 and eth3 . . how do i fix it? about 8 hours ago, i was typing on irc, on my ubuntu 9.04 box, it opened some screenshot windows, but i didn't press print screen, then it got slower and slower, i finally shut it down when the clock stopped moving. when i rebooted it couldnt see the lan at all. i tested and did other things. i learned to boot from [09:41] a usb stick and tried three different lan cards. with the live cd i had internet, but now i don't again. [09:41] yes [09:41] debugview, what about CLI? [09:41] vlt: So it would be hostname.lan? That would supposedly resolve to an IP? [09:42] maxwellian: When "search lan" is announced by DHCP all requests to host names will be completed to hostname.lan. Then it should work. [09:42] chalcedny: you might want to be a bit more systematic about this... [09:42] jgb, in how i describe it or? [09:42] I installed Ubuntu on a usb drive but It doesn't boot properly. When I boot everything goes fine. I see the splash but then when gnome starts things go wrong. Most of the time my laptop stops working with a black screen. Somethings I get a black screen with a cross in it. I really have no clue what I could do about it. Does anyone want to help me? [09:42] maxwellian: (Works here with 6 different domains=) [09:43] vlt: Six different hosts, all on the .lan domain? [09:43] jan-pieter, yopu might want to say how long it's had linux on it- is this a new install? which laptop? [09:44] maxwellian: No, the same setup with local domains in six different LANs [09:44] are there any good basic photo managers/editers for ubuntu like picassa [09:44] meowbuntu: f-spot comes close [09:44] chalcedny: have you tried booting the livecd again and seeing whether it still works? [09:44] vlt: This is very interesting to me, do you mind posting the results of one of those queries to the pastebin? This is just for my education now, no problem to be solved, so I don't mind if you're too busy. [09:44] jgb hmm no [09:44] ah f-spot i remember that now thanks [09:44] chalcedny: and what does the network setup look like currently? [09:45] chalcedny: It's the first time I try ubuntu on the laptop. It's a new install to a usb key. and its a HP laptop: dv6000 [09:46] maxwellian: This is a line in my dhcps.conf: option domain-name "dd.mycompany.intra"; [09:46] *dhcpd of course [09:46] maxwellian: dd is the location [09:46] chalcedny: drivers for the card loading correctly? [09:46] jgb umm how do you mean? 2 lan cards (main onboard one seems to have major problems) from my computer to switch, to router to cable modem. (wired lan)? [09:47] Hey everyone - I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. New x64 Kubuntu install, running really sluggishly - I am new to linux so I don't know where to begin to check resource usage etc [09:47] jgb umm drivers didn't come into it yet, hadn't had anyone ask about them, just ifconfig and other commands that show eth [09:47] maxwellian: Now this is announced to all DHCP clients which results in this line in /etc/resolv.conf: search dd.mycompany.intra [09:47] hi guys, I get an error when trying to install php5-cli: Error: The new file /usr/share/php5/php.ini-production.cli does not exist! [09:47] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [09:47] chalcedny: put ifconfig output in a pastebin? [09:48] jgb you mean type it manually? [09:48] hi, i would like to add an HD to my server (for the /var). Now my server is full and don't work... the command i will do --> http://dpaste.com/215037/ can you validate it please? it's my first time [09:48] maxwellian: When one of these hosts tries to reolve a host like "asterisk" it works because it actually queries for asterisk.dd.mycompany.intra [09:48] or jgb i can boot to the cd and pastebin it [09:49] chalcedny: don't boot the cd, i'm talking about your current setup [09:50] Waltywalt have you ever tried just plain old Ubuntu on the same system? There is a good chance its sluggish because its Kubuntu (KDE4). Activating 3D acceleration, if not already, would help some..... [09:50] jgb then how much of that stuff do you really need because typing it would be hard? [09:50] vlt: Hmmm...so you have to be running your own dhcpd? Can't use the router for dhcp? [09:50] chalcedny: not sure... maybe use a usb disk to transfer it? [09:51] iflema, I did run ubuntu w/ gnome at one point - but I'm not sure if it was 64 bit. How can I enable 3d acceleration ? I'd like to try that first. [09:51] jgb i don't have a cd drive and the usb stick is the boot device [09:52] chalcedny: lol ok. can you disable the main(broken) card? (in the bios?) it would make things simpler. [09:52] Waltywalt m8 im not sure.... keep asking here maybe also try in #kubuntu [09:52] maxwellian: most soho-routers have that option too [09:52] maxwellian: Routers don't do DHCP [09:52] iflema, Thanks :) [09:52] maxwellian: Example query: http://pastebin.com/kxEmjf3e [09:53] maxwellian: DHCP servers do [09:53] jgb i looked for internet in the bios before, i didn'[t see where it is, i looked on each page .. maybe it's there but i didn't see it? [09:53] vlt: some "routers" aren't only routers anymore [09:53] vlt: Are you just trying to be accurate with the terminology? [09:54] vlt: Certainly my wireless router is handling dhcp. [09:54] jgb, maxwellian: Yes, the router inside the multi-purpose device is just routing. [09:54] chalcedny: well it won't be 'internet', probably "NIC" or something, and it would be under integrated devices... but ok. let's see [09:55] i did look [09:56] vlt: On my computer, I'm not running dhcpd. The router is doing dhcp. So how can I configure that .conf file, even to start the process? [09:56] vlt: (I mean, the "multi-purpose device".) :) [09:56] maxwellian: I got a DHCP server, DNS server, router, wireless AP, SSH server, HTTP server and OpenVPN server. All running in the same box (you'd call "router" ;-) [09:57] Are there any developers/packagers in the room? [09:57] maxwellian: What software runs on that ... device ;-) ? [09:57] who can give me a hand to install valgrind in my ubuntu 10.04? [09:57] chalcedny: how many eth devices do you have in ifconfig? [09:57] Hello. [09:57] vlt: I don't know, it's just a Linksys router. [09:57] Hello. === PyIRC is now known as Guest64332 [09:58] jgb i just rebooted to bios .. now looking [09:58] vlt: (Sorry to take up your time with this, I'm just very curious.) [09:58] maxwellian: consider using 3rd-party firmware like dd-wrt, which allow ssh-access to the router to change those settings [09:59] maxwellian: np. I'm running DD-WRT (mind the location ;-) on all of my Linksys routers and can confiure each part of it as I like [09:59] jgb i have Main Smart Advanced H/W Monitor Boot Security and Exit [09:59] llutz: I've been meaning to look into that more, thanks. [10:00] maxwellian: tomato or openwrt might be interesting too [10:00] Need help on changing default OS on grub on 10.04 [10:00] valgrind help please [10:00] I prefer openwrt myself but they all about the same in terms of changing any setting you like [10:00] llutz: Dulak, llutz: Thanks, good to know there are options. [10:01] vlt: But out-of-the-box, this .lan domain is not normally available, right? [10:01] maxwellian: The .lan domain is defined by your Linksys device [10:01] maxwellian, Good morning. This is hareldvd on a different account. Sleep well? [10:01] maxwellian: Your resolv.conf shows a "search lan" line [10:02] maxwellian: This must have come from the DHCP server [10:02] maxwellian: not to change, but it's defined automatically, to make changes you have to put a custom firmware on it [10:02] maxwellian: Sorry, that was erry's resolv.conf ;-) [10:02] eitan: Hi hareldvd. Eventually! ;) [10:03] vlt: Oh, I was gonna ask. :) [10:03] vlt: I'll look at mine now. [10:03] maxwellian: Look at your current /etc/resolv.conf [10:03] maxwellian: :) [10:04] Dulak: Cool, thanks. You guys are blowing my DNS mind right now. :) [10:04] I need help to make grub use a different OS as default. V1.98 is very confusing. [10:05] vlt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/459748/ [10:05] chalcedny: no idea, but if you can't find it, just boot the livecd, cat the output of lsmod, lspci, dmesg and ifconfig to a text file on the usb boot disk, and reboot into the installed sistem [10:05] chalcedny: *system [10:06] eitan: /etc/dafault/grub - > GRUB_DEFAULT=X [10:06] maxwellian: those linksys routers are actually pretty awesome for the price, if you have one that can have the firmware replaced I highly recommend doing it. [10:06] jgb wow .. [10:06] llutz, Thanks. [10:06] eitan: sudo update-grub after changing [10:07] Dulak: What do routers normally run? If not some kind of Linux firmware? [10:07] maxwellian: The Linksys DHCP server seems to pass the domain it gets from your ISP's DHCP server to its clients [10:07] llutz, How can I tell which partition? the list is dynamic. [10:07] maxwellian: each manufacturer makes thier own [10:07] <_Jacob1987_> thanks. [10:08] Dulak: That's lame. Especially since all that effort is moot when people like you wipe out their firmware. :) [10:08] eitan: that you have to ask the st***d grub2-devs :( [10:08] chalcedny: lsmod > NICinfo; lspci >> NICinfo; ifconfig >> NICinfo; dmesg >> NICinfo; [10:08] vlt: So that would preclude me from doing what you're talking about? [10:08] llutz, Thanks. [10:08] maxwellian: Linksys began to use linux itself on its devices (that's why it's possible to use your own distro at all) but w/o full access for the customer [10:09] get off [10:09] maxwellian: yup, companies are kinda stupid like that. [10:09] anyone here know rythmbox? [10:10] maxwellian: the version on the bottom of the router, has to be v5 or less [10:10] hello. did anybody know how i have to configure 2 screens in ltsp for the thinclient? [10:10] <`boz> hi all i've just installed a piece of software and cannot find it in the applications list, using ubuntu 10.04 [10:10] <`boz> any help appreciated [10:10] !anyone | mooseberry [10:10] mooseberry: 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? [10:10] maxwellian: unless the model number of the router has an L in it, which means linux compatible [10:10] zeitsofa: Maybe ask in #ltsp [10:11] ubuntu is pretty much useless for an older intel card these days, but maybe its just the newer drivers [10:11] Dulak: DRT54GST V1 [10:11] vlt: i did. but i think all peoples there a working or sleeping - so i hope anybody here can help me. [10:12] maxwellian: that might be too new to root [10:12] vlt: Phew, looks like I've got a bit of research ahead of me. Sorry for "correcting" you when I didn't know what I was talking about. :P [10:12] maxwellian: yw [10:12] <`boz> could nyone tell me where a new ly instakked program would be located if i wanted to add a launcher? [10:12] anyone know if there is a way for rythmbox to automatically update songs from a certain folder? [10:13] Why choose ubuntu over kubuntu? Is the only difference KDE vs. GNOME with the same underlying OS ? [10:13] zeitsofa: Maybe ogra knows [10:13] maxwellian: check some of the linksys distro pages they usually have a list of compatible models and versions === ndo is now known as Nikolai_D [10:13] Dulak: I'll do that. I'm not necessarily interested in actually doing it, but I'd like to understand the process and why it's done. Thanks for the tips! [10:13] Waltywalt: Thats pretty much it, it just depends which you prefer Gnome/KDE and which default applications you want [10:14] Waltywalt: Regardless of which you start with, they use the same repositories and you can install KDE app's on Ubuntu [10:14] 大家好 [10:15] Hello, there! I am having a reocurring problem with my PC's keyboard; starts on a graphical session; now, if I access any tty console I find that the keyboard does not work there either [used to be possible to login and restart the GDM, which resolved the issue for everyday use], and that I cannot even login [the numeric keypad does work and so does 'backspace' but not the keys with numbers and other characters on it {on the [10:15] Waltywalt: Theoretically, you can even run both desktops and choose between them on login. [10:15] mooseberry: edit->preferences->music tab [10:15] I'm china [10:15] !ch | sunqing [10:15] sunqing: Das Schweizer Team finden sie unter #ubuntu-ch, deutschsprachigen Support bekommen sie aber in #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de oder #edubuntu-de. Aus regionalen Gründen ist im Schweizer Channel nur Englisch erlaubt. Geben sie einfach /join #ubuntu-at ein! Danke für ihr Verständnis. [10:15] Ha, sorry. :) [10:15] I'm more about the Desktop Environment ... So I guess KDE is my preference. I am just trying to figure a simple way to deal with this laptop running so slow. [10:15] !CN > sunqing [10:15] sunqing, please see my private message [10:16] Waltywalt: Gnome also provides a "desktop environment". [10:16] ahh yeah kinda simple thanks Dulak [10:16] I have a 64 bit laptop and Windows 7 ultimate runs faster! [10:16] Guys, ive got a trouble, im trying to clone a disk but then i get blinking cursor or after fdisk /mbr invalid / non system disk etc. Anyone any idea? [10:16] хи [10:17] privet [10:17] :) [10:17] =) [10:17] как аську установить на линуксе? [10:17] все утро калупаюсь [10:17] I really expected Kubuntu 64 to run BETTER than windows with all it's graphics intensive garbage. [10:17] !ru > belkov [10:17] belkov, please see my private message [10:18] Waltywalt: Normally with older hardware distros like Xubuntu or Lubuntu are recommended. But I guess your hardware is not old, so I'm not sure what the issue could be. [10:18] спасиба [10:18] Waltywalt: 32 bit ubuntu will prolly smoke on that machine [10:18] ха [10:18] тут че одна нерусь? [10:18] !ru |belkov [10:18] belkov: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:19] jgb i don't even know how to do that.. but i'm saving each one as a .txt is that ok? [10:19] Waltywalt: moving to 64 bit without requiring it just doubles the amount of ram everything you run uses for no good reason [10:19] Dulak, yeah I'll try that I guess ... I just really wanted to utilize the technology to it's fullest. I have a 35Mb up & down connection [10:20] does disk cloning copyes partition table / mbr to or not? [10:20] !details | Nikolai_D [10:20] Nikolai_D: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [10:20] Dulak, really? I didn't know that! It doubles it? [10:20] how can i drop a connection in "ss" command? [10:20] hall [10:20] hi all* [10:20] Waltywalt: 32 bit address space to 64 bit means every address is twice as big as before [10:20] I think I have 4Gb Ram in this machine (probably a slower bus though, I can't recall) [10:21] how can i drop a connection in "ss" command? [10:21] NarbeH: Assuming you mean "ssh" just type exit, hit ctrl+d or AltGr+] [10:21] jgb is lsmod > NICinfo; lspci >> NICinfo; ifconfig >> NICinfo; dmesg >> NICinfo; a command? [10:21] Waltywalt: 64 bit is only if you really need it, like you have more than 4 gigs of ram say [10:21] vitaly: no, ss [10:22] I guess in my certification classes I just understood 64 vs 32 to mean that the machine's components would send the information theoretically twice as fast. [10:22] Dulak: Does it actually double the amount of RAM *used* or the amount of RAM *addressable*? [10:22] NarbeH: ctrl-c? [10:22] Waltywalt: There are some applications that run faster with 64 bit. AES for example or some databases [10:22] Can I run dream weaver in Ubuntu ? [10:22] Sorry, didn't know that actually made things bold. [10:23] developer, I don't think adobe has linux versions available??? [10:23] maxwellian: every memory address becomes double the size it was, everything doubles in ram [10:23] developer, if you learn differently please let me know - I would be a happy camper [10:23] llutz: vitaly: for example. someone is connected to me. i want to drop him [10:23] i clone a disk drive with ghost. i have two pc's with same hw. i want same system on second pc. But after disk to disk cloning it doesnt boot up. [10:23] Waltywalt, Is there any way to install indirectly ? [10:24] Dulak, thanks for all the information - I'll try ubuntu and see if that works. [10:24] i have two files in the live cd of 10.04, i need them on my main computer.. how can i do this? [10:24] Nikolai_D: Is ghost an Ubuntu tool? [10:24] vlt, I don't even know what AES is or stands for :) [10:24] Dulak: If an address that was 0xabcdef11 is now 0x00000000abcdef11, how has that doubled memory use? [10:24] chalcedny, copy paste wajt else [10:24] Dulak: Having just been schooled in DNS I'm trying to be cautious here. ;) [10:25] indus from live cd to not using it how? [10:25] NarbeH: i guess "cutter" can do [10:25] chalcedny,hmm how did you get thse files there [10:25] vlt: no, why? [10:25] ue des codeurs [10:25] maxwellian - I was thinking about that the same way. I have a networking background as well. [10:25] preske que [10:25] Nikolai_D: Becasue this is the Ubuntu support channel [10:25] raaa [10:25] sorry [10:25] it's not good windows :x [10:26] chalcedny, iam not sure what you want, if its some file on the cd, boot into a OS and copy from there [10:26] vlt: so? [10:26] Waltywalt, How about using wine for dream weaver in Ubuntu ? [10:26] llutz: yeah men, thats it [10:26] maxwellian: Every address is twice the size it was at 32 bits, so allocating one address that used to be 32 bits of memory is now 64 bits of memory [10:26] thx [10:26] maxwellian: Programs now store their data in 64bit long words -> more RAM _used_ too [10:26] Hi, where do i enable small icons, which can be seen besides label, for e.g nautilusOpenInTerminal, i have it on Mint, it must be somewhere in gconf-editor? Please take look at this picture http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5319/nosmallicons.png [10:26] i should have explained more, i did boot the livecd, pasted the output of lsmod, lspci, dmesg and ifconfig to a text file, but now i will need them on 'my' computer NOT the cd .. so how? [10:27] developer, I don't know. I don't have hardly any experience in linux OS' ... I have a very extensive Windows background - so I can not help you. [10:27] chalcedny, get it to a pen drive then , [10:27] chalcedny: system - settings - apperiance [10:27] chalcedny: show icons, show text, show small icons and so on [10:27] iceroot, hmm? [10:27] chalcedny, hmm wait it can be copied sure , to a non live cd running partition :) [10:27] hi all [10:27] chalcedny copy the files() to the usb flash drive === DarkNemesis is now known as dn [10:27] join #phoronix [10:28] chalcedny: ah wrong nick [10:28] Dulak, umm how? [10:28] Waltywalt, Then why did you come to Ubuntu channel ? [10:28] iceroot, it's ok don't worry [10:28] Dulak, vlt: Oh, because what used to be enough space for two addresses in 32-bit is now only enough for one in 64-bit. === darknemesis_ is now known as darknemesis [10:28] maxwellian: exactly [10:28] aldin: system - settings - apperiance [10:28] llutz: it says: openning /proc/net/ip_conntrack: No such file or directory [10:28] have a nivdia gtx 460 and nvidia-current installed.. but get the card not running correctly.. only 1024x768 an displays that have more the 1280 resolution modes [10:28] Waltywalt: AES in an encryption algo (or rather standard) [10:28] Hi. What is the best method to convert an FLV video to audio in Ubuntu? [10:28] indus, how? [10:28] llutz: i want to cut someone the error occured [10:28] Dulak: Man, I sure know a lot less than I think I know. ;) [10:29] chalcedny, hmm i need to use my brain for it, you can tryusing yours :D [10:29] Belserusk: ffmpeg [10:29] chalcedny: places -> computer, the flash drive should be listed in the list on the left [10:29] Waltywalt, If you have any doubt please ask me, I am a Linux Pro. [10:29] indus this system 's cd drive quit working, i never botered with it.. so i have the live verson on my usb stick [10:29] chalcedny, basically, if your hdd already has some partitions, just move over the files there [10:29] chalcedny, aah easy easy easy [10:30] chalcedny, so remake the usb bootable with persistent option, or probably its already made taht way, and you can surely copy to flash [10:30] chalcedny, did you try copy to pen drive ? that same bootable one [10:31] indus no i didn't, i've never done that , it's hard for me to do visual stuff [10:31] chalcedny, any vision problems? [10:31] indus i do better with commandline /plain text [10:31] chalcedny, you said you are booting from usb flash. I dont understand what you cannot see [10:32] iceroot: dont see that [10:32] developer, because I had linux questions I needed answers to myself :) That's why i'm here haha. === hadeS_ is now known as Guest3747 [10:32] Dulak: whether or not things double in ram is still language specific, you don't need to use 64bit variables in 64bit system(except for pointers), i haven't noticed doubling of ram usage in practice ... [10:32] developer, can you help me in installing ubuntu?? [10:33] indus, i hate to make it so hard, where is 'copy to pen drive'? [10:33] chalcedny, right click on file and send to [10:34] indus, in a terminal, vim? [10:34] chalcedny, see ? [10:34] no [10:34] chalcedny, terminal ? [10:34] chalcedny, why dont you just cp /path/to/drive [10:34] ranjan, are you kidding [10:35] indus, it's jsut not something i know how to do [10:35] developer, Kidding ??!!! Whats that in the linux world?? [10:35] mnemon: I did, made a box with 2 gig ram run like it had 1 gig. The minimum addressable space doubles, but that doesn't mean all ram usage doubles, I was simplifying it to get the point across [10:35] chalcedny, ok [10:35] hey does anyone know why extra visual effects is so buggy? 10.04, fglrx graphics driver [10:36] Joshmuffin, please use 10.6 catalyst [10:36] Joshmuffin, works almost great [10:36] 10.6 catalyst? [10:36] has anyone else had the issue that after booting into a windows recovery mode (accidentally in this case) the linux partition is deleted? [10:37] chalcedny, ok hold on [10:37] and grub shows an error and has no working commands? [10:37] burr_, do you meen deleted or doesnt showup in grub? [10:37] oik thank you very much indus :) [10:38] chalcedny, DID YOu make this pen drive persistent when creating it? its an option that lets you save to the same live drive [10:38] chalcedny, else, to save to HDD, youshould mount the disk [10:38] i mean deleted [10:38] grub shows "no such partition" [10:38] i booted from a live cd and went to gparted [10:38] the former linux partition was shown as unallocated space [10:38] llutz: have work with cutter? [10:39] indus, can you link me to a guide to installing catalyst [10:39] NarbeH: only once, long time ago. cannot help you, sorry. [10:39] Joshmuffin, here is the link >> http://askindus.somewhereonirc [10:39] Joshmuffin, ill help you [10:39] :) [10:39] Joshmuffin, ok first of all, which graphics card [10:40] llutz: i just want to ask about the result. sudo cutter 192.168.1.6 [10:40] No matching connections found [10:40] indus i didn't know about that i just told the software to make the cd - i used http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [10:40] chalcedny, do one thing, in live session, go to places and see if you see any partitions [10:41] chalcedny, can you do that ? [10:41] am i alone in this problem? [10:41] indus ok [10:41] burr_, have patience, you will find help [10:41] nah, its cool [10:41] im just wondering [10:41] burr_ recovery console or system recovery (OEM) winblows does not play nice, it will not warn you, it will take care of itself.... [10:41] Hi! .. I tryed to create a .xsession to start something in my systems but works in my 8.10 but not in my 10.04... Anyone know why ? [10:41] i've already reinstalled and started sudo'ing back my applications [10:42] hi there [10:42] but can anyone give me a cause? and is there a way to avoid it? [10:42] anyone manage to add thunderbird into indicator-applet [10:42] bb 5 min [10:42] indus places home folder, desktop, documents, music, pictues, videos, downloads, computer, 497 gb filesystem Network ,connect to server, search for files, recent documents [10:42] burr_: I've never done that, but I doubt that's supposed to happen. [10:42] NarbeH: no idea [10:43] Hi guys! Can anybody help, plz? Why does the same browser (Opera) on the same PC, on the same Wifi connection works 3-5 times slower under Ubuntu, than Windows 7? [10:43] burr_: You were dual booting? [10:43] it happened to me twice [10:43] and yes [10:43] indus, i have a ati radeon HD4650 [10:44] burr_: Which Windows, which Ubuntu? And which did you install first? [10:44] windows 7 came pre-installed [10:44] burr_ if you selected system recovery its most likely your system had a recovery partition containing widows in case of a reload and you reloaded it. In such a case winblows will NOT warn you. [10:44] CbIP, ive seen 5 people in here tonight with similar (not identical) problems, see if you can google slower in 10.04 or something like that [10:44] then i installed 10.04 [10:45] burr_: Okay, that is generally the way to do it, since Ubuntu knows how to play nice with other OS's. [10:45] chalcedny: Thanks, I'll try. I decided to use Ubuntu instead of Win 7 on my notebook - but this problem annoys me [10:45] well, i know that recovery caused the problem...but what did it do? shouldn't it have gotten rid of grub as well? and how can i hide the recovery partition from the menu so i don't accidentally click it again [10:46] CbIP, see if firefox or some other browser is faster -- opera works fine for me on 9.04 [10:47] chalcedny the same thing happens with Firefox. It seems like 5 or more seconds timeout before page starts to load. And it loads very slow (especially pics.) [10:47] indus, i added Ubuntu X Team's PPA and ran apt-get upgrade, in an attempt to get the new drivers, there downloading now. [10:48] CbIP, hmm i'm not an expert - it just doesn't seem right .. stuff should fly on ubuntu [10:48] burr_: I don't know what happened, but removing the link from the Grub list shouldn't be too hard. [10:49] okay, how? [10:49] chalcedny - Everything else flys! Compiz, folder opening... Everything [10:49] or rather [10:49] do you have any ideas? [10:49] burr_: Are you comfortable with the command line? [10:49] chalcedny: And I have no idea even where and what to search [10:49] for [10:50] yes [10:50] CbIP: Sounds like possible slow DNS. What does cat /etc/resolv.conf say? [10:50] burr_: Do you have an editor preference? [10:50] CbIP, keep asking [10:50] kate [10:51] burr_: Okay, the menu file is /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:51] burr_ you where there...... what and how many times did you select something and what was selected, if anything??? Did you answer any questions? Was the word "partition" involved at all? [10:51] is there a way to copy stuff from live cd to main drive or to access the live cd from the drive after i boot into the drive normally? [10:51] soreau: don;t know - I'm using another PC now. What shoud it say? [10:51] iflema: no, i immediately exited the recovery menu [10:52] maxwellian: open with sudo or gksudo? [10:52] soreau: Give me a minute and I'll change pc [10:52] burr_ and the rebooted to nothing? [10:52] iflema: yes [10:52] CbIP: Just look at the nameserver line and try a different public DNS like googles 8.8.8.8 [10:52] burr_ very strange... as you where.... [10:53] soreau: Thank you! [10:54] burr_: sudo [10:54] burr_: Actually, before you do anything, we should back up the file. [10:54] burr_: gksudo for gui-apps [10:55] burr_ the new grub, grub2, makes it hard to hide things that exist.... it is possible to remove the recovery option from the menu but you may experience tears.... [10:55] ehh [10:55] i'll just tell him to be really careful [10:55] burr_: Tell who? [10:55] my friend likes kubuntu's eye candy and wanted me to make his notebook pretty [10:55] how do I display the grub boot menu on loading? i've tried hammering escape etc. but no luck [10:56] iflema: Do you know how to fix it? [10:56] JediMaster: hold down shift while booting [10:56] I want to install lilypond on to my Ubuntu setup. I have 9.10 - a netbook version of Ubuntu. What is best way? [10:56] new it was somethign simple, thanks Dulak [10:56] maxwellian a repartitioned/deleted system... impossible [10:57] hello everyone! I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (dual boot) and could get online and update using my LAN cable but things got more complicated when I decided to try my Atheros wifi card. Basically what happens is it detects the network but doesn't connect to the internet. I tried 'ndiswrapper -l' in the Terminal but nothing showed so I did 'lspci -nn' to find my card model and the downloaded the... [10:57] iflema: No, I mean to remove an entry from the boot menu? [10:57] ...driver I found on http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper. Now that I have this zip file I have a silly question (i'm new to Linux): how do I install the driver? [10:57] hello [10:57] well, can i make my grub prettier? [10:57] burr_: I'm just checking into iflema's comment about grub2 [10:57] maxwellian one way would be to disable the os prober and add any entries manually.....

[11:03] shadow_phoenix: if it is a single binary do what llutz said [11:03] burr_: K, good luck. [11:03] chalcedny: "desktop" is just your home dir, so no. where does the usb drive get mounted? [11:04] shadow_phoenix: if it is a folder, move it too /opt and create a starter-script at /usr/local/bin for it [11:04] hi. does anyone knows a mp3 cutter (a good one) for ubuntu lucid lynx?

What can i do to get unbanned? [11:13] hello [11:13] it seems that smbd since i updated to lucid is starting before network starts at boot [11:14] xro: ask the #debian operators. we can't do anything. to get a list of said ops -> /msg chanserv access #debian list [11:14] so i need to restart smbd manually to get it work [11:14] how can i set the starting dependency? [11:14] for smbd [11:14] beppo: check the startscripts at /etc/init [11:14] beppo: i spect /etc/init/smbd.conf to express the dependency on network [11:15] ini/smbd ?^^ [11:15] ah i see [11:15] erUSUL, and how to ask him? [11:15] didn't realise such directory exists [11:15] beppo: init.d/ [11:15] xro: private chat? maybe debian has an ops channel ? dunno. ask in #freenode too [11:16] hello everyone! I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (dual boot) and could get online and update using my LAN cable but things got more complicated when I decided to try my Atheros wifi card. Basically what happens is it detects the network but doesn't connect to the internet. I tried 'ndiswrapper -l' in the Terminal but nothing showed so I did 'lspci -nn' to find my card model and the downloaded the... [11:16] ...driver I found on http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper. Now that I have this zip file I have a silly question (i'm new to Linux): how do I install the driver? === tomas-_ is now known as tomas-_|away [11:16] not init.d [11:16] MaRK-I, I remember thar ubuntu forum had a page with dinamic php that did give sources.list to you Ubuntu distro and language. Dou you know something about this? [11:16] erUSUL, ok thanks for your help [11:16] !sources | engemec [11:16] engemec: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [11:16] Misterio: /etc/init for upstart-scripts, not init.d (sysv-init) [11:16] xro: no problem [11:17] llutz: Ah okay [11:17] okay changing the splash screen just sounds really complicated [11:17] burr_: Hmmm...maybe that's just a bad source. [11:17] How do I disable pulseaudio?? [11:17] burr_: Let me look at some other results. [11:18] engemec: no, sorry [11:18] but how can i tell smbd to start after network? [11:19] Lazyvee: http://blog.troyastle.com/2010/05/atheros-ar5212-in-ubuntu-1004-lucid.html [11:19] I'm trying to create an xorg.conf file using Xorg -configure but it fails with: "(EE) [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol" any ideas? [11:19] Lazyvee: also check your wireless chipset [11:19] MaRK-I, thanks! I guess that my server is blocking some repos. I will check with administrator. Thanks a lot. [11:20] engemec: you can try that page and select the faster repo option takes a while but it works and yw [11:21] MaRk-I: chipset is Atheros Communications Inc. AR241 [11:21] erUSUL [11:21] Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 [11:22] how can i add the dependency [11:22] beppo: really dunno; upstart is stil mystery ro me... seems that smbd only depends on local filesystems being present ... [11:22] has anyone had any luck setting up a USB monitor (yes it's power AND video data over USB) on ubuntu? [11:23] :) [11:23] in gentoo it's quite easy syntax^^ [11:23] beppo: there is a #upstart channe. maybe there [11:23] ah tx fine [11:25] MaRK-I, 2 hours ago, everything was working! I was at home, and now, I'm at work! Because this, I guess that the main problem is the work server and some rule on squid or iptables. [11:25] beppo: see the ufw.conf it has three network envents. maybe adding those to smbd does the trick [11:26] MaRK-I, yesterday a I had same problem here! :) Now..... repeating. [11:26] engemec: seems like the server where the mirror is hosted is having problems [11:27] try a different one [11:28] engemec: changin mirror is easy in System>Admin...> Software Sources [11:30] erUSUL, can you help me a bit more? i tried but to send a message to an admin --> /msg gravity --> Insufficient arguments for command. [11:30] xro: /msg gravity hi! sorry to bother you. [11:30] xro: you have to include a msg [11:31] Lazyvee: I have the same chipset as you, and I'm not using ndiswrapper. [11:31] Sorry, for the question, does somone here uses a mac? [11:31] hello [11:32] Aufwind, I do, but I don't run linux on it [11:32] maxwellian: what are you using? do you know how to make it work? [11:32] erUSUL, thank you again.... [11:32] Aufwind: yes as design paperweight [11:32] Lazyvee: I'm using the ath5k module. I'm on 9.10 but I hope it still works on 10.04. [11:32] xro: yw [11:33] Lazyvee: Are you comfortable with the terminal? [11:33] EtherNet: Me neither. May I ask you for something? I want to configure a gateway on a mac. But I only know the command for ubuntu. How do I translate this ubuntu command "route add -net 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw >>Here is an IP<< metric 1" into a mac command? [11:33] also, I've just read in an Ubuntu forum that 'sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt' then 'sudo sh -c "echo 'options ath5k nohwcrypt' >/etc/modprobe.d/custom-wireless.conf"' then reboot worked with my chipset [11:33] Lazyvee: I don't know what that nohwcrypt stuff is. [11:34] maxwellian: not really, I'm new to Linux, but I'm starting to know how to use it after trying so many lines hehe [11:34] Lazyvee: does it connect without encryption? [11:35] Lazyvee: Okay, can you do 'ifconfig' and post the output to paste.ubuntu.com? [11:35] shaka when the walls fell [11:35] i didn't try without encryption, but someone told me it worked without encryption [11:36] ok [11:36] MaRk-I: What do you mean, without encryption? Without WPA? [11:36] erUSUL [11:36] thx, i will try [11:36] maxwellian: exactly WEP, WPA, WPA2 [11:37] MaRk-I: I don't have a problem with encryption using ath5k module. Same chipset. But I don't know if 10.04 changes things somehow. [11:37] erUSUL see nmbd.conf [11:37] there is written how [11:38] maxwellian: it does if there's bug reports about it [11:38] MaRk-I: As always. :) [11:39] Bah. I'm putting off dinner for this and they go and lose their connection on me. :P [11:40] maxwellian: are you familiar with the equations? [11:41] alteregoa: I'm almost afraid to ask...which equations? [11:42] anyone know how I can capture a telnet session to a file? [11:42] i am a newer here [11:43] i am chinese [11:43] I have installed the DEB program package »linux-source«. Am I right in believing that installing the package »linux-doc« is thus dispensable? [11:43] rical: telnet or ssh? for telnet ttysnoop can do that [11:45] Dulak: both would be good but primary telnet [11:45] bullgard4: Did you install that manually? [11:45] lwp: whats ur question? [11:45] ljsoftnet: Too late. [11:45] maxwellian: hehehe didn't see that [11:46] maxwellian: I cannot see how this affects the answer to my question. [11:46] rical: not sure how to dump a ssh session, it's a psuedo tty not a real tty like telnet is [11:47] i got a question [11:47] the answer is 42 [11:47] !ask | alteregoa [11:47] alteregoa: 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. :-) [11:47] im 17kg on the moon, how much on the earth? [11:47] sorry, kernel panic, couldn't read your last message [11:48] bullgard4: I'm only asking for more information about your situation. I'm surprised that you are so critical of the help you ask for. [11:48] alteregoa: Multiply by 7. [11:48] are you sure? [11:48] Lazyvee: Did you post the ifconfig output? [11:49] ah yes, but to some url [11:49] is thre any physics channel except ubuntu? [11:49] maxwellian: I don't think that there is needed more information. [11:49] and i can't remember the url [11:49] Lazyvee: Just do it again. :) === tracy is now known as stwobe [11:49] Lazyvee: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [11:49] software is like quantum physics, you never know if it works [11:50] !ot | alteregoa [11:50] alteregoa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[11:53] skramer_: And restarting network-manager? [11:54] Misterio: CLI? or clicking the icon in panel? [11:54] maxwellian: Yes. Thank you. [11:54] skramer_: replugging the usb wireless doesn't work you have to reboot? [11:54] Misterio: what makes me wondering is that the LED on USB webcam is flashing while the network gets disconnected... [11:55] Dulak: replugging does not work, the device will not be recocgnized then... [11:55] skramer_, do you understand what it means to "restart network manager" ? [11:55] airtonix: sudo NetworkManager restart [11:56] skramer_, and this does nothing ? [11:56] something on your usb bus is funky, unplug everything from usb and start testing wireless with each usb component attached [11:56] airtonix: nope [11:56] skramer_, what driver are you using? [11:56] I have installed the DEB program package »linux-source«. Am I right in believing that installing the package »linux-doc« is thus dispensable? [11:56] how to partition a big file larger than 1G into two or three part? [11:57] airtonix: zd1211rw [11:57] anyone know of a good irc channel to do with painintg warhammer miniatures? [11:57] fulldarkness: It depends on the file type. [11:57] skramer_, replugging usb should have almost the same effect as a reboot, the fact that it doesn't means one of your usb components is doing something goofy [11:57] skramer_, ok thats the name of the driver so what device is it on this page : http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/devices [11:59] !netsplit [11:59] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [11:59] airtonix: 0586:3410 [11:59] skramer_, try match it with the output you get from lsusb so you can provide the device id [11:59] nice [12:00] Rhythmbox stalls at 0:00 when trying to play music :( [12:00] skramer_, ok this information is the minimum you should provide when asking for help with wifi devices, [12:00] after upgrade to 10.4 [12:01] skramer_, at this point i would try the ndiswrapper method [12:01] alright, so ifconfing gave this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LGvHvWi2 [12:02] I almost guarantee the problem is another usb device, not the wireless at all [12:02] hi [12:02] skramer_, if you needed monitor mode my suggestion would be that you should research proven chipsets before buying them. [12:02] But you know do what you like. [12:02] Dulak: I suspect another USB device as well [12:02] Lazyvee: Okay, try 'sudo modprobe ath5k' === jussi is now known as Guest7125 [12:03] Dulak: because I have exactly same stick on other PC in LAN & already switched them between PCs [12:03] Dulak: but still one one PC it works & on the other I got the problems [12:04] * JediMaster cheers for ubuntu running on a USB monitor! [12:04] skramer_: that's easy to test, just run wireless with 1 other device attached at a time till the problem repeats, whatever other device is plugged in when it happens is the problem [12:04] had to get 2.6.35 kernel though, and the touchscreen isn't calibrated (goes to top left if you touch it) [12:05] hi [12:05] hm [12:05] someone knows why my networkmanager on my laptop (kubuntu 10.04) decided to not manage eth0/wlan0 at all? [12:05] upgraded the system and ubiquity (2.2.24) still does not start. there's no error message whatsoever. anyone experienced this? [12:05] system is 10.04 [12:05] hrw: it's tired of all the porn you're downloading? :) [12:06] zamba: nice try but thats not that D: [12:06] Dulak: hmm... perhaps it is the Wacom tablet since the problem existed before I installed the MS webcam.. [12:06] Dulak: don't think it is the keyboard... [12:06] hrw: hehe, mine quit for that reason :) [12:06] skynet [12:06] hrw: did you mess with /etc/network/interfaces at all? [12:06] ubiquity is python, so it should die with a stack trace, shouldn't it? [12:06] * rautamiekka rautamiekka came back [12:07] Dulak: nope [12:07] * karmic-koala says hi to everyone [12:07] "dhclient eth0" works so I have network there [12:07] hrw: You say "decided" past tense. Is this a recent change? [12:07] hrw: check that file any interface listed in there is not managed by networkmanager that's all I got [12:08] maxwellian: I booted that laptop first time since uds [12:09] Dulak: only loopback in /e/n/interfaces [12:09] hrw: Sorry, uds? [12:10] hi, i would like to add a new HD on on of my server... (move /var on the new HD)... can you check the way i will use? --> http://dpaste.com/215037/ [12:10] maxwellian: Ubuntu Developers Summit - was in start of may [12:10] http://pastebin.com/cM8ZQqr4 is nm-tool output [12:10] can anyone give me a hand calibrating a touchscreen?

Can you please run 'sudo modprobe ath5k' [12:12] JediMaster: http://github.com/tias/xinput_calibrator [12:12] hrw: Did you install anything during the summit? [12:12] xro: why ext3 and no ext4 ? the move data part does not looks right. you would en up with /var/var/... [12:13] maxwellian: maybe. now I am upgrading it to maverick and will check how it will work [12:13] maxwellian: it gives... nothing [12:13] Lazyvee: That's okay. Now do ifconfig and repost. [12:13] erUSUL, my server use ext3 now... it's rigth move /var in / --> /var.... and the part in the fstab is rigth? [12:14] hrw: Check /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [12:14] ok [12:14] xro: yes. try to use uuid instead of /dev/sdxx [12:15] !uuid [12:15] maxwellian: http://pastebin.com/SQnJ9ZhJ [12:15] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [12:15] maxwellian: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hjq3GTA8 [12:15] hrw: Just going off a forum posting, changing that managed=false to true might help. [12:16] maxwellian: thx, will check after upgrade [12:16] hrw: Look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7041625&postcount=4 [12:17] Lazyvee: Hmmm, that modprobe didn't seem to make a difference. [12:18] ~hail apt-cacher-ng [12:18] Lazyvee: Can you double check the modprobe worked by typing 'lsmod | grep ath' [12:20] hrw: I'm not familiar with that, what does it do? [12:20] maxwellian: its proxy for APT [12:21] hrw: Neat, is it easy to set up? [12:21] maxwellian: I have few machines + few chroots [12:21] maxwellian: easy [12:21] I installed postfixadmin and when I do postconf -a it tells me dovecot and cyrus, but not dovecot SASL, how to fix? [12:21] hi all...can anyone tell me how to parse a HTML content with unix command(shell)...like i have a html file....i need to parse the content of tag..... [12:22] hrw: Cool. So it makes downloading software on your several machines a bit quicker, I suspect. :P [12:22] xro: step 14 i would do with pax ( sudo aptitude install pax ) « cd /mnt/first/var/ && sudo pax -rw . /mnt/new/ » [12:22] maxwellian: the only thing which suxx is 100Mbps ethernet in my laptop... previous one had 1GbE [12:22] maxwellian: chroots on proxy machine reports even 23MB/s download [12:22] tesla555: pipe it through tidy, then parse it using XSLT [12:22] hrw: Wow! Awesome. :) [12:22] maxwellian: also lot of bandwith saving [12:23] tesla555: you can not parse html with unix text utilities... you can sort of make a hack but... [12:23] lol, culprit was pidgin embedded video plugin [12:23] hi erUSUL me again! [12:23] erUSUL, is it a better way? and why? [12:23] hrw: How does it deal with something like apt-get update? [12:23] hrw: Shouldn't that always be fresh, not cached? [12:23] xro: pax is efficient your mv command would have got you /var/var/as i said [12:23] wookienz: hi [12:24] barfster: i get content of a php page using curl command...so i need to parse it...can i call tidy in a .sh file [12:24] maxwellian: it checks does it need to be fetched iirc [12:24] erUSUL, ok... i'll try do it now... thank you [12:24] hrw: Hmm, okay thanks. I'm sure there are docs on it, I'd just not heard of it before. Thanks for the tip. [12:25] Lazyvee: Still there? [12:25] erUSUL: not sure if you remember - i was having raid 0 issues - using a fakeraid bios build instad of software raid.still no luck getting it up and rnning but i know alot more about GPT! bought my self a 1TB HDD and have dd the two raid 0 drives across to it so i am abel to fruck with it a bit more. if you are keen!

I've removed Evolution but the marks inside the notification letter doesnt get away.. I dont want it to list e-mail. how do i remove it [12:25] back [12:26] wookienz: that gdisk utility couldn't fix the disk/partition table ? [12:26] hi [12:26] erUr i didnt end up trying it. [12:26] !hi | dannbrown [12:26] dannbrown: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [12:26] erUSUL: i didnt end up trying it. [12:27] anyone can install squid on lucid or ubuntu 10.4? [12:27] dannbrown: 10.04 and Lucid are the one and same thing. [12:27] wookienz: now that you have a dd image you can try on it? without fear of loosing any data ? [12:27] yes u rite rautamiekka [12:27] maxwellina: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/EkayPFpt [12:27] If I wanted to have 5 terminals on my screen with no "dead space" in between or menues etc. what woud be the preffered way? fluxbox? [12:27] is there any material that i can read to configure evolution to work with hotmail?? [12:27] erUSUL: yup. fill your boots! [12:27] jolaren: perhaps --> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/how-to-remove-social-network-features.html [12:27] can u help me? [12:28] Dr_Willis: Only the Mail container [12:28] dannbrown: Just wanted to clear that up ;) I'll check on Squid, but it's new to me, so I doubt I can be of help. [12:28] rical: 'terminator' can tile terminals inside a single window. [12:28] rical: terminator ? [12:28] is there any material that i can read to configure evolution to work with hotmail?? [12:28] jolaren: its connected to teh volume thing. You can remove teh package. or remove teh applet and have the mail + vol thing gone. Other then that. Not sure. [12:28] oh ok rautamiekka:)thanks [12:29] rical: if you want that done by the wm look for a tiling window manager ( xomonad awosome ion etc ..) fluxbox is not a tiling wm [12:29] jolaren: the comments at that url used to have a lot of other neat info.. but it seems all teh comments have vanished. :( [12:30] How's flash on x64 at this point? [12:30] Samara: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/send-and-receive-your-hotmail-messages-through-evolution.html [12:30] Hello, im on ubuntu lucid using xchat for irc. i want to hide join part messages, in the xchat faq it says i have to right click a channel tab then there should be a submenue to hide join part messages but i dont have that sub menu. [12:30] Dunas: as bad as in 32 bits but not worse ;) [12:30] erUSUL: Dr_Willis termiantor looks promesing [12:30] dannbrown: From your question I understood you and possibly many others can't get it installed on Lucid unlike on prev' Ubuntus ? [12:31] rical: i use it all the time. The latest versions also have some new features [12:31] hello flash not working in firefox 366 in ubuntu 10.4 flash will play sound but no picture [12:31] maxwellian: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/EkayPFpt [12:31] erUSUL: Well, last time I checked it was worse (no mouseclicks registering, and constantly dying). What about the ATI drivers for the 57xx series? [12:31] whoaa..awesome.u understood my problem just less in minute:) [12:31] Samara: scrap that. now hotmail supports pop3 itself? no? [12:31] thanks sir rautamiekka === jussi01 is now known as jussi [12:32] dannbrown: Sounds like the usual Lucid problems :( [12:32] Lazyvee: Yup, saw it, thanks. It does help when you get the nick right, sorry it's a little long. :) [12:32] i dont know... [12:32] Lazyvee: I'm not sure why it's not working at this point. If I remember, all I had to do was modprobe the ath5k module. [12:32] ive tried to configure, but it doesnt work [12:32] maxwellian: haha sorry about that, I'll be more careful not to mistype people's nick :-) [12:33] Two of my keyborad buttons are not working! What could be wrong? [12:33] Samara: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/setting-up-evolution-mail-gmail-and-hotmail/ [12:33] so, thanks!!!! [12:33] The are double quotes and semicolon buttons [12:33] Samara: that's looks more up to date [12:33] The laptop is TOSHIBA l510 [12:33] yes i found that all the same in google search:( [12:33] dannbrown: Have you already tried to install Squid ? [12:33] no hope [12:34] maxwellian: I don't know [12:34] yes i have [12:34] erUSUL, ahh, ok thank you [12:34] Is anyone here is free to try figure out whats wrong? [12:34] Lazyvee: Try 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' [12:34] please [12:34] amokpaule right click on the channel in the channel list and select 'settings' then 'hide join/part' may be different for xchat-gnome. There are two xchats available [12:34] sir rautamiekka,i just try to stop access porn site and all things about porn [12:34] and i thought it will be better if i use squid [12:35] iflema, ty :) [12:36] napster: check to see if they work in the console. alt-ctrl-f1, use alt-ctrl-f7 to get back to X. [12:36] Dr_Willis: No! I tried already! -( [12:36] Dr_Willis: to bad :-) I'll file a launchpad bug [12:37] maxwellian: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tavWAMtA [12:37] dannbrown: Simply put, you want to _block_ access to porn sites totally so that the user receives something like "access denied" upon trying to get to one ? [12:38] Dr_Willis: Could that be an error with the installation? Can I try reinstalling? [12:38] yes that all i meant sir rautamiekka,and i want to block all porn keyword [12:38] dannbrown: ive seen some firefox extensions/tools to let you do that. Or theres some other proxys/tools [12:38] napster: no idea really. Try some live cd's and see if it works for them. What kind of keyboard it is? american? british? [12:38] Lazyvee: Your card is detecting a wireless network named "bbox2-ac0e", is that your network? [12:38] Dr_Willis: He wants to use Squid to block access. [12:39] Dr_Willis: USA [12:39] Dr_Willis: Is it possible to split in a non symetrical pattern? [12:39] Squid is a 'cacheing' proxy - i dident think it did 'filtering' [12:39] maxwellian: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tavWAMtA but i can't see my wifi modem router's SSID there === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [12:39] unless its gotten a lot of new features since i last used it. :) [12:39] Using Xchat. How do I get nordic fonts to be compatible to users with the Mirc program? [12:39] can u share those add ons or tools with me sir Dr_Willis [12:40] maxwellian: not my network, my neighbour's network. that's strange because I tried this before and I could see my SSID as well [12:40] Lazyvee: Are you sure your network is up? [12:40] erUSUL: gdisk doesnt give me much more as it says that oe of the dirves doesnt have a GPT and tries to comvert its MBR to GPT - which is probably not what i want. As far as i understand each of the drives may have a different partition appearance for a raid 0 array [12:40] dannbrown: nope. I just rember seeing the firefox extension/feature once at the FF addons site. It had some sort of 'faimly safety' feature. and was admin'd by a master user/web interface [12:41] dannbrown: i tried it ages ago and diont even rember its name' [12:41] Also, I have a comp. downstairs with P2 celeron (300 Mhz) and 128 mb ram. Any linux version that would be suitable to run on it? [12:41] maxwellian: I'll reconnect [12:41] Lazyvee: Also try 'sudo ifconfig ath0 up' [12:42] # Appears as SCOTTY [12:42] dannbrown: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch32_:_Controlling_Web_Access_with_Squid <- gives me the impression you can use diff' keywords to block sites. However, I know to tell there's loads of porn sites which have no relating words to porn, thus unless you actually find perfect keywords, there's --s-o-m-e-- sites accessable. [12:42] lol:) [12:43] but thanks to sir Dr_willis for ur response [12:43] Dr_Willis: can I stor my terminator configuration somehow? [12:43] so that I don't have to split and remove the scrollbars every time [12:44] dannbrown: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap28sec231.html <- This tut' looks like something altho' it's aimed for RedHad Linux. Give it a shot. === burn_ is now known as burn [12:44] Umm... why are there four floodbots? *confused* [12:44] rical: it has settings that get saved.. unless you want to clarify what you mean [12:45] maxwellian: I typed 'sudo ifconfig ath0 up" and it said ERROR - no such device [12:45] NightKhaos: yes, there are multiple ones for redudancy and to be more effective [12:45] NightKhaos: The Four Horsemen. [12:45] hot and cold running floodbots maybe? [12:45] rical: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/terminator-094-adds-watch-terminals-for.html [12:45] hi guys [12:45] thanks sir rautamiekka [12:45] Anyone know why the add printer button is not working (using 10.04) [12:45] dannbrown: IPblock uses peerguardian, also blocks adult websites [12:45] NightKhaos: I guess the others joined to relieve some workload from the only one. === xcv is now known as DaZ [12:46] Hi [12:46] How can I download an wall site with its contenent? [12:46] hey, can anyone help me setup dual monitors with a ati card [12:47] Lazyvee: your card is wlan0 [12:47] maxwellian: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Cw3Cc2Gz 2nd SSID is mine, so it's working now [12:47] MaRk-I: That was per my suggestion. [12:48] hey thanks sir mark_i [12:48] MaRk-I: On my machine (same chipset) the interface is called ath0, so I was hoping that would help. [12:48] maxwellian: I think so, as I'm using LAN cable to get online and left wifi on [12:49] Lazyvee: Okay, so can you try to connect to the wireless? What happens? [12:49] maxwellian: wireless is on but as I got online using the ethernet cable i think that's what i'm using === e-diO-UT is now known as e-DIO-t [12:51] if i dd an OS hdd (64GB SSD) to another HDD parition, does that receiving partition have to be the same size? what if i want to copy to back with that work? [12:51] Lazyvee: You're connected to the network via wireless? Do you see little bars in the top right corner? === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [12:52] wookienz: you may want to 'dd' it to a file if you want to 'archive' it . theres other tools that can also do that task. [12:53] maxwellian: no, I see 2 arrows, the first going up and the other going down (wired connection) but i'm connected with the wireless as well, at least to my LAN [12:53] wookienz: you can dd one hd to another of larger size and it 'should' work. but dding it BACK can be an issue. (thus the use of a file) [12:53] хоп :) [12:53] Dr_Willis: ok thanks. [12:53] dannbrown: this is far easier http://www.kabatology.com/06/23/block-adult-web-content-with-opendns-familyshield-no-install/ [12:54] maxwellian: if I turn off the wired connection i might lose the online connection [12:54] wookienz: also using dd with a hard drive PARTITION is more commonly done to 'archive' a partition. unless you really want a clone of the whole hard drive - including the mbnr, swap, and otehr partitions in one swoop [12:54] i cant use that sir mark-i ,since my laptop connection is dynamic [12:55] Lazyvee: How do you know that you're connected to the wireless? [12:55] Dr_Willis: yes i want to image the whole drive so i can switch to a different OS for a short time to try and fix my fakeraid issue, then go back to ubuntu [12:56] dannbrown: just add the DNS address to your laptop ;) besides you can add that to your router [12:57] ok sir mark-i,i'll try later:).thanks for ur info sir!i appreciate that === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [12:57] yw [12:58] maxwellian: because when i left click on the up&down arrow icon i can see my wifi network's name and "disconnect" below it [12:58] can fakeraid be turned into software raid? [12:58] maxwellian: same for Auto eth0 [12:58] Lazyvee: Can you perhapes right click on the name and get info about the connection? [12:58] I have installed the DEB program package »linux-source«. Am I right in believing that installing the package »linux-doc« is thus dispensable? [12:58] I thought a fakeraid was a software raid.. but i dont use raids any more [12:58] !raid [12:58] 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 [12:59] Dr_Willis: from what i understand fakeraid is from bios controller chips and the like, and software raid is through nix sftware using mdadm etc [13:00] maxwellian:info about the connection: there's 2 tabs, the 1st for Auto eth0 (default) and the other for my wireless network [13:00] Hi ,, where I can find the option to hidde the grub boot menu ? [13:01] Lazyvee: Do you see an IP address for the wireless? [13:01] ingenius: Depends on are you using GRUB Legacy or GRUB 2 [13:01] I don't know .. im using 10.04 :) [13:01] default instalation [13:02] maxwellian: Auto eth0 uses the typical IP 192.168.x.x and the wifi... 10.42.43.1 now that's the part I don't understand, even I input 192.168.x.x in the wireless connection settings it always displays 10.42.43.1 [13:02] how to issue a /quit in empathy? [13:02] ingenius: If you made pure installation, it's using 2. If it's upgrade from prev' Ubuntu, it's most Legacy unless you explicitly told it to install 2 [13:02] ingenius: thats grub2 then. [13:02] yes grub2 its a pure installation [13:02] ingenius: I dig up that info from my Ubuntu Server, just a sec. [13:03] ingenius: see the file /etc/default/grub for the 'hide' options [13:03] maxwellian: and the wireless is connected to wanl0 [13:03] !grub2 | ingenius [13:03] ingenius: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [13:03] maxwellian: and the wireless is connected to wlan0* [13:03] just upgraded to lucid, cant seem to add just a volume icon without this new envelope thing. any ideas? [13:04] Lazyvee: I don't know how you're trying to specify the IP, but it's okay for your router to assign an address in the 10.*.*.* range. [13:05] robthebob: they are the same applet. you can remove them both from the panel. and use the gnome-volume-control-applet if you just want a volume applet. [13:05] Hi all, I am on lucid and i accidently deleted the Default cursor cause i was removing additional cursor and themes so its gone now, how do i get it back [13:05] Lazyvee: The specific address you got seems weird...mine is usually 10.0.1.8 or something like that. [13:05] robthebob: I think it's something like removing the package "indicator-messages". [13:05] Dr_Willis: can i dd my OS drive while the OS is running? [13:05] wookienz: short answer.. You dont. [13:06] wookienz: use a live cd. theres several out with many disk imageing/recovery/restore tools included [13:06] why? [13:06] ok. [13:06] wookienz: think about it.. :) [13:06] Doesn't empathy support all IRC commands? [13:06] Dr_Willis, right, that isn't in the menu though when i try to add applets [13:06] chandru_in: no. Empathy has limited IRC support. [13:06] wookienz: you are dding a drive.. somthing writes to the first part of the hd. (a log or somthing) and then your dd image.. is then wrong. [13:06] Lazyvee: Anyway, if you have an IP address, then try disabling the ethernet. [13:07] robthebob: its not an applet you add its a app you run. [13:07] Lazyvee: Good luck! [13:07] maxwellian: I think I always get 10.42.43.1 with the wireless [13:07] robthebob: Yeah that works but you'll have to log out and back in again or remove and readd the indicator applet before you see the change. [13:07] Pici: Any suggestion for better IRC client for gnome? [13:07] chandru_in: xchat is quite good [13:07] i don't understand the connection between sound and this email/chatting mixture icon [13:07] why are they so inextricably linked? [13:07] robthebob: they are the same 'applet' its a combo applet. [13:07] let's see [13:07] robthebob: at least thats how i see it work [13:08] (except the two icons have a massive amount of wasted space between them unlike other icons) [13:08] Lazyvee: You might lose your current connections. You might need to reconnect to the wireless. [13:08] hi to all :D [13:08] Lazyvee: But try to go to a web page or something after disabling the ethernet. [13:09] so the long and the short of it is that an average user has no way of removing the envelope thing without also losing the ability to modify the volume [13:09] robthebob: To get rid of it execute "sudo aptitude remove indicator-messages" log out and back in again. [13:09] strange [13:09] can i run IMVU under wine ? [13:09] ingenius: If I remember correctly without making a search, opening up "/etc/default/grub" and editing line "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true" to be exactly that way and then running "sudo update-grub", the menu should become invisible again. [13:09] eoke, that will remove only the envelope? [13:09] maxwellian: I'll turn off both connections and see if if works [13:09] (I'm sorry for my poor english) :) [13:09] robthebob: Correct [13:09] ok i'll try that thanks [13:09] AhmedBH: Wine has its own public database [13:09] robthebob: Np [13:10] Lazyvee: You'll need to turn on the wireless, obviously. [13:10] misterio: sucks [13:10] misterio: thanks tho [13:10] rautamiekka: you right ... sorry by my stupid question but i have mora than 12 yours in the computer [13:10] Lazyvee: But I'm suggesting turn off both, then re-enable the wireless. [13:10] why archive tar.gz when i try open it [13:10] eoke: :) i pasted a url to him eralier that said exactly that... [13:10] displays in console: [13:10] what package does totem need to be able to play all/most codecs? [13:10] misterio: whats that other program which also is like wine and lets you run games on linux too like WoW [13:10] gracz: Don't paste here. [13:11] maxwellian it is only two lines [13:11] AnxiousNut: On Ubuntu, install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [13:11] Dr_Willis: Sorry, it took two responses from me as well. I guess some people struggle with the speed and flow of messages in the channel. [13:11] I have installed the DEB program package »linux-source«. Am I right in believing that installing the package »linux-doc« is thus dispensable? [13:11] eoke, thanks that worked [13:11] gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error [13:11] tar: Child returned status 1 [13:11] robthebob: You're welcome I'm glad it's sorted for you. [13:11] tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors [13:11] it is all [13:11] rautamiekka, sorry that'll install a lot of packages, i need some specific package, installing on an old pc! [13:11] 3 linnes :) [13:12] Possible to upgrade: # cat /etc/issue [13:12] Ubuntu 7.10 \n \l [13:12] ? [13:12] AnxiousNut: Oh, okey. I check it up for you. Which Ubuntu is it ? [13:12] although i think i will use this gnome-volume thing anyway as the new widget is too annoying (regression in loss of ability to specify a particular volume immediately without dragging) [13:12] rautamiekka, it's lubuntu 10.04 with totem [13:12] gracz: Looks like you might have a corrupt file. [13:12] And it is egoboo 2.5.7 package [13:13] barfster: It's not really clear what you're asking. [13:13] gracz: What command are you using? [13:13] dist-upgrade [13:13] eoke: 7.10 -> 10.04? [13:13] maxwelian I'm tryining graphical first, but it not work. [13:14] Second i'/m tryning [13:14] with console [13:15] tar -jxvf [13:15] barfster: Not sure I typically do a fresh install. [13:15] gracz: -j is for bzip compression. [13:15] gracz: Is it compressed with gzip or bzip? [13:15] maxwellian gzip [13:16] gracz: 'tar -xzf file.tar.gz' [13:16] please, is some application for netbook manage power? [13:16] can anyone help me setting up dual monitors with a ati card? ubuntu 10.04 [13:16] AnxiousNut: I've always installed the following packages along with their dependencies and stuff worked; Ubuntu auto-installs others when needed, anyway. gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse libavcodec-extra-52 libmp4v2-0 [13:17] ciao [13:17] How can i restart all my sounds in lucid? [13:18] gracz: What happened?

[14:30] other then the meta-package package itself. :) [14:31] VCoolio, ok... ubuntu-descktop instead of gnu (gnu is on debian i think)... thanks [14:31] bazhang: ah, so after that also autoremove?

I say this should be preinstalled though! [14:59] ok chmod 777 filename would that work [14:59] user1_: unix fdisk is not similar to dos fdisk. use more modern easy tools like parted or cfdisk === gb_ is now known as GaMeBoY [15:00] user1_: or if you can use a gui use gparted [15:00] struhevol, actually, now that i think about it you want to change the owner, I forget the command, give me a sec.

[15:02] erUSUL: what do you recommend. a dos table with a 256gb fat32 partition? since ext3 is immediately not recognized even by gparted after format! [15:03] ok [15:03] struhevol, man just brings up the manual page on a command. It will tell you how to use the command. [15:03] user1_: 256 GiB or MiB ? is a SSD ? [15:03] sweet [15:03] thanks [15:04] user1_, I am surprised gparted is not recognizing ext3! [15:04] erUSUL:it's 256GiB. disk utility shows it as 275GB [15:04] all i want to do is delete the dir [15:04] gelan: that's the biggest problem . it does create ext3. but mmediately after that it scans and says unknown format.

[15:05] <_spm_Draget> iflema: Huh, what do you mean? [15:05] user1_: well the filesystem will depend on in what systems/OS you will be using the disk [15:06] struhevol, then sudo rm and sudo rmdir [15:06] user1_, how about NTFS? [15:06] struhevol, Just be careful with rm. [15:06] gelan: is there a foolproof test to know if a USB is problematic or not? [15:06] Anyone know how to add a driver to the minimal install? [15:06] _spm_Draget aptitude may not be on the install cd but it will be available in the repositories [15:07] erUSUL: i want it to be recognized on ubuntu first and then may be half for fat32 and half for ext3! [15:07] user1_, Let me ask a silly question here. You did click on "apply" in gparted. Did'nt you? [15:07] gelan: yes [15:07] <_spm_Draget> iflema: Good, because I think it is confisuing new users [15:08] user1_, I don't know of a foolproof test but did you try NTFS? === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [15:09] cannot remove its a directory [15:09] gelan: i did.

[15:11] Mark-I, the ubuntu version i'm running's pretty old, it's the only LiveCD i could find lying about :/ [15:11] Ash____: what version? [15:11] and I changed the repos and still couldn't find it in synaptic, so I'm guessing it's not included in this ver. [15:12] can 64bit cds be requested or only 32bit? [15:12] gelan: quite a good suggestion but not this huge. [15:12] erUSUL: i will try parted this time with ntfs. [15:12] user1_, can you try it on another OS or PC? [15:12] pah, i don't even know. i'm imagining 8, maybe. [15:12] lol [15:12] user1_, what version of Ubuntu again? [15:12] user1_: you have to install ntfsprogs package if you want to format in ntfs [15:13] cat /proc/lsb_release is that the command? [15:13] Anyone know how to add a driver to the minimal install? [15:13] no such file or directory, i'm getting. [15:13] shoot i forgot the command xD [15:14] yeah, it's not one i store at the front of my mind :P [15:14] erUSUL: oh ok.so a dos parition table and ntfs. [15:14] !version [15:14] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:14] <_spm_Draget> Who made autofs? Sun? [15:14] there you go, ty bazhang [15:14] gelan: lucid [15:14] 'no lsb modules are available'. christ, it must be old. [15:14] user1_, then gparted should have come with ntfsprogs [15:14] _spm_Draget, does that have anything to do with ubuntu support? [15:15] Ash____: must be warty whoary lmao [15:15] <_spm_Draget> bazhang: sort of... because I heard there were forks... and I have no idea what ubuntu is using [15:15] ._.''' [15:15] should burn a more recent one eh [15:15] i'm sure i have an open suse livecd lying around at home, i might drive and grab that [15:15] I did this once before but forgot.... how much space does a basic Ubuntu Server consume? [15:15] <_spm_Draget> bazhang: And stop being an annoying irc-troll [15:15] user1_, you've been on this a couple of days; this is a flash drive 256GB , correct? [15:16] i would, i'll remember that next time the CD Drive's working :P [15:16] bazhang: yes. [15:16] _spm_Draget, that is not necessary. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [15:17] user1_, and the issue is that it won't show up at all when you insert it into your usb port? [15:17] Ash____: burn it to a usb, just hope the pc has more than one usb port :P [15:18] bazhang: the issue was it does not retain data when remounted. [15:18] this is so long winded, hah. oh man, damn sentimental photo values D:< [15:18] pollo [15:18] bazhang : and i ran a dd zero as willis suggested [15:18] user7, the data traveller has password protection if I recall correctly [15:18] whoops sorry user7 [15:18] bazhang : no [15:19] bazhang : or how do we check it [15:19] eh, i'm just going to drive home and grab the Open SUSE disc. i'm fairly sure i have another (newer) ubuntu disc, too, so i'll have a look for that [15:19] back in about 10. [15:19] user1_, and it works on none of the various OSes you have tried.

Anything out of the ordinary? What was it used for?

[15:43] AnxiousNut, that there still is 1 update waiting to be installed, which is likely depending on another. [15:43] s3r3n1t7_, okay then what's up with the -126? [15:43] s3r3n1t7_: php and apache2 mostly. no java iirc, no installs outside of the repo in kernel or root user space [15:43] AnxiousNut, that 126 updates have been done [15:44] AnxiousNut, it's the exit code. There's a whole bunch of them, this one indicating there's still something waiting. [15:44] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/unBw7cwb [15:44] s3r3n1t7_: it's also behind a pix, and shouldn't have received any traffic other than via apache2, so remote exploit seems unlikely. [15:44] Vaevictus, hmm, that's odd. Can you check the webserver logs if something went wrong? If i remember correctly the kernel should also store a log somewhere in case of a crash, let me see if i can find where. === CloneA is now known as xMopx [15:44] s3r3n1t7_: i will look there [15:45] s3r3n1t7_, do you know for what reason it didnt install the remaining update?

I remember some sorta env variable ... not sure .. HELP [15:52] arvind_khadri, thanks for passing the piece of info, i appreciate it, thank you [15:54] ohir: i said "you think a wordpress install could crash the linux kernel? " [15:55] Does anybody know if a thinkpad t410 will be conpatible with ubuntu? I found this link here, and it says that it is compatible, but I want to make sure first, before I buy this laptop. [15:55] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T410 [15:56] Greetings, curious if anyone is familiar with a problem with padlock-sha.ko loading on kernel boot? I've read several older and more recent BUG reports in regard to the kernel module not loading. However, in most cases individuals reporting the system works normally and it seems they're able to access their device. In my case, I am not. [15:57] Specifically, I'm running Lucid and have tried several different kernel iterations via INSTALL CD repair/recovery shell [15:57] In my case, the device comes up on the network, but I am unable to SSH or access a console terminal to it. The system hangs just after a message similar to: "modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha (/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-server/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-sha.ko): No such device". I have tried alias'ing sha256 and aes as suggested in reports, as well as blacklisting the module entirely. When doing so, the system seems to still hang, as it i [15:58] i create DEB from QT-project and it write files to home folder with wrong perms [15:58] eoke: cant see a real solution there for me, so i will just download the sio and update the OS from that! [15:58] can u help me? [15:58] s3r3n1t7_: okay... i've looked through the logs. apache doesn't show anyhting too interesting, except a bunch of child process wakeups in the access.log [15:59] hello [15:59] which may be due to the fact that stuff was being killed off [15:59] did isolate the time of the crash though [15:59] my system really stucks hard when the harddisk are operatting, e.g copy, unrar [15:59] HI~ This is my first chat. ^^ [15:59] what MB/s should you see copying from one HDD to another HDD on the same system using SATAII? [15:59] Vaevictus, and the kernel messages? Those should be in /var/log/messages [15:59] i have a dell perc6 and lucid [16:00] wookienz: As far as I can gather the solution was/is to recompile that package from source and then perform an update. However I can understand you might not be comfortable with that and in honesty I'd do it on my own machine but I'm not comfortable enough to guide you through it on your machine. [16:00] s3r3n1t7_: no sign of them there in vl/messages [16:00] anyone an idea? [16:00] can anybody help me with DEB creation??? [16:00] Vaevictus, does the server do anything special around the time of the crash? [16:00] beppo, yes? [16:00] s3r3n1t7_: nope, not even a blip around the crash time [16:00] eoke: yeah thanks... where would i even begin to find the source files? [16:00] beppo, sorry not for you === ohir__ is now known as ohir === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [16:01] Vaevictus: I think that exp_loit that rode in on Wordpress back might at ro_otkit install time [16:01] Vaevictus, hmm ... very odd ... i don't suppose you've set logrotate on the kernel messages? [16:01] Vaevictus: spurious oops and panic usually is either because of falling hardware or bad (unfitted) expl_oit code [16:01] Vaevictus: former being most popular though (unless you and your domain are quite known) [16:02] Vaevictus: so, yes. Your panic could be effect of roo_tkitting your box [16:02] ohir, why are you using so many _ in those words? It's not cursing ... you're helping someone ... [16:02] ohir: yeah, i'd agree, except the panic wasn't a process: the kernel killed off all processes and still crashed. [16:02] test [16:02] Vaevictus, i'd advise checking the software you have running for some updates [16:02] s3r3n1t7_: i'm guessing auto-ban on that kinda stuff :) [16:02] how setup file perrmissions for DEB creation??? [16:02] eoke: screw it ill give it a go! [16:02] Vaevictus, i doubt it, the ops ain't that harsh in here [16:02] and now gimme that f*** id*ot who did filter by h4ck3rz W0rd5 [16:03] ohir, watch the language [16:03] s3r3n1t7_: hate to upgrade stuff blindly without knowing why the crash happened :( [16:03] anyone know how i can compress a file and have it be password protected? (tia) [16:04] Vaevictus, i didn't say upgrade immediately, but there maybe a security leak detected in one of the pieces of software you have running which could have been exploited [16:04] wookienz: I've found a copy at ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-6.1.tar.gz but I'm not sure if it's the best place from which to get it. [16:04] s3r3n1t7_: aye, true. [16:04] eoke: got one, ran ./configure, and make, looks all fine... now what? [16:04] s3r3n1t7_: is there an easy ubuntu way to do that? [16:04] geekbuntu, truecrypt? [16:04] Is there a way to get a screenshot result like this: http://i.imgur.com/X47BT.jpg - On a headless box? [16:04] abhi_nav: just wanted to do it from a cron job [16:04] Vaevictus, apt-get update and check how many show up? [16:04] wookienz: Try your "sudo aptitude update" again [16:05] hi [16:05] geekbuntu, hmm [16:05] abhi_nav: hopefully command line :) [16:05] bazhang: did you notice the asterisks? didn't you? [16:05] eoke: no joy. do i need to move the newly "make'd" file? or does it install it directly as part of the process/ [16:05] is their a way to make your custom distibution of linux? [16:05] ok [16:05] can anybody help me with DEB creation??? [16:05] wookienz: "make install" often installs it [16:05] s3r3n1t7_: update doesn't change thingS?' [16:06] ohir_, its still not acceptable. thanks for keeping it family friendly here [16:06] how can I know on what channel or device is the sound output (hw or /dev/dsp..?) [16:06] bazhang: yes, you're right. [16:06] Vaevictus, apt-get update <= checks for avaiable updates, upgrade does an upgrade. So update doesn't change, upgrade does. [16:06] eoke: ok that worked, but update doesnt! ;( [16:07] yo boys... im on an ipod touch wirh irssi and it sucks!! console emulator so buggy [16:07] wookienz: Sorry wookienz that and the incorrect date are the only two causes I'm aware of. [16:07] bazhang: and now help me spot the place where h4ck3rz words are filtered, would you? [16:07] intel i7860 CPU: amd64 or ia64 ? how can i tell? (can't cat /proc/cpuinfo, no access to the machine atm) [16:07] ohir_, not sure what you are trying to do, please clarify [16:07] eoke: right o thanks. ISO comgin down in abut 10 mins so ill install of that [16:07] wookienz: Best of luck and at least you had a go which is often half the battle. [16:08] s3r3n1t7_: doesn't mention anything afaict. [16:08] excuse me , to use the changes in /etc/network/interfaces, what i must restart? [16:08] s3r3n1t7_: ends with fetched and reading package lists... Done [16:08] bazhang: I got 5 times in row disconnected (and a few times more in the past) right after I used exp_loit or ro_otkit word. [16:08] abhi_nav: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/zip.1.html <--maybe? looks like the older ubuntu distro has a zip package that has a switch "-p" that can be run from teh command line... let's hope it works in later versions too! [16:08] i'm becoming lame, i used to know how to do this, but obviously i'm doing it wrong, i want this setup i want my machine to work as a gateway for my phone, i want all traffic originating from my phone to be proxied by the tor and polipo setup i've got, i want to make some iptables rules to make dports 80 and 443 coming from to be i belive redirected to the 8118 port and i want to take responses aka secondary connections or an [16:08] ything back to my phone, how can i achieve this [16:09] geekbuntu, dunno about cron job. i thought you just wanted to encrypt a folder. [16:09] bazhang: and I would like to know where deep packet inspection takes place [16:09] bazhang: watch: exploit [16:09] bazhang: watch: rootkit [16:09] abhi_nav: the plan is to use python to compress a list of files i want to store, then a cron job to lock it up, then back it up to our works svn server (just don't want my lnks/email etc sitting out there wide open) [16:10] lsb_release -a [16:10] ohir_, no idea what you are talking about === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy [16:10] geekbuntu, I dont know anything about 'cron' [16:10] Vaevictus, hmm, mine shows a tally at the end. You can still check by performing a simulated update with apt-get upgrade -s (the -s is simulating, check in the help of apt-get) [16:10] bazhang: ok, might be coincidence [16:10] abhi_nav: it's okay - i have the first and third part working [16:10] :) [16:10] bazhang: just weird one === ohir_ is now known as ohir [16:11] anyone? [16:11] * ohir apologize :) [16:11] testing 123 [16:11] s3r3n1t7_: looks like a lot of stuff.mysql, apache, looks like java is on there. sudo, lol [16:12] i've tried iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8118 didn't worked, and also iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT :8118,. either [16:12] s3r3n1t7_: i've got a Dr appt in a few minutes, i've gotta run. Thanks for your help so far. [16:12] Vaevictus, you're welcome. I got to go in 10min as well. Best of luck! [16:12] ohir: cheers! ty! [16:12] Vaevictus: if you have that plenty vulnerable binaries in place I would suggest that you should set this box anew [16:12] we'll see if it doesn't happen again. ;_; [16:13] "set this box anew" ? [16:13] ohir, having available updates does not mean vulnerable binaries in place. Please refrain from scaring people that way. [16:13] Vaevictus: you do not know if someone who was getting your box succeded. Safer is to assume he or she did [16:13] and i'm still not convinced wordpress /could/ crash the linux kernel [16:14] ohir: you're suggesting a format and reinstall? [16:14] just to be clear? [16:14] Why/how would i get a disk boot failure if I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04? [16:14] s3r3n1t7_: having avaliable updates means exactly that _not_ patched bineries _were_ on box when kernel panicked [16:14] Vaevictus: yes [16:15] s3r3n1t7_: the more that its 8.04. I have a few boxes running 8.04 and had not one kernel panic to date [16:15] ohir, and why do you assume they are vulnerable? Is the only reason to release an update to patch a hole? We're not using M$ you know ... And going from your assumption, you can best hide in a box and not talk to anyone. Who knows, your food and water might be poisoned. [16:16] s3r3n1t7_: have you read SA for sudo? What it was? [16:16] Why/how would i get a disk boot failure if I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04? [16:16] ohir, SA? [16:17] s3r3n1t7_: saying "M$" just makes you look childish, and actually the main reason for updates to a stable version of Ubuntu or Debian is security patches. However I still wouldn't be quite as paranoid as ohir ;) [16:17] s3r3n1t7_: rule of thumb is that if you may assume your box is pwned and you are not sure, you have to pay your price for not updating in time [16:17] ohir, I do not see a reason why his box would be pwnd. I would investigate first and make conclusions later. [16:18] s3r3n1t7_: Security Advisory. That piece of ascii that comes with patches and updates. Stating reason for update. [16:18] I think as interesting as this convo is it should be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:18] How can I copy from one disk to another and still have a bootable system? [16:18] funkyHat, I'm only typing M$ because 1. you have to pay for it and 2. It' easier then typing Microsoft. No reason to be childish or anything. [16:18] barfster, you want to copy whole system? [16:18] s3r3n1t7_: but you may not, nor can I. So for his side of the story its safer to assume box was pwnd. And do it again. [16:19] like dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc [16:19] But is that good enough? [16:19] IdleOne, funkyHat, ohir, We obviously disagree with each other on some parts. Let's conclude it at that. agreed? [16:19] barfster: yes that is enough. but be *very* *very* careful you get the input and output the right way around [16:19] s3r3n1t7: I have no opinion on the subject I just think it is out off scope for #ubuntu [16:19] But will it be bootable? [16:20] barfster: yes [16:20] Vaevictus: my advice is to do box anew. And have it updated next time :) [16:20] s3r3n1t7_: ok. EOT. [16:20] Or will I have to change IDE sequence? [16:20] Will this work on a running system? [16:20] barfster: you're copying from one disc to another and then leaving both discs in the same computer? You might have to change the boot order in the bios [16:21] barfster: not likely, use a live CD [16:21] ello === root is now known as Guest55282 [16:21] !hi Guest55282 [16:21] !hi |Guest55282 [16:21] Guest55282: Hi!

Can't guarantee it will have dd, but I expect it does [16:24] funkyHat: are there other tools that might give the same result; Bootable copy of the running system?

[16:31] this is in a VM, FYI [16:31] abhi_nav: I'm currently in Switzerland, and I don't know the time difference. [16:32] saliak, you need to unmount it first [16:32] and it's /dev/sda1. sorry for the repeated posts [16:32] ah [16:32] ???? [16:32] saliak: Use a live disk. I guess /dev/sda1 is / or /boot, and unmounting / while running is not a good idea [16:32] so how would one do that with a VM? [16:33] how do i get rid of this icon?

Just hit any key to get around it to the boot menu for the live CD. [17:08] Spamicles, really? Hmmm [17:08] anyone teach me how to use date command to convert utc to my local time? [17:08] LJRuff, is it possible my screen alignment is bad and im not seeing menu options or something? [17:08] Spamicles, it should not be. Did you check the md5sum of the .iso you downloaded and burned? [17:08] LJRuff, nope. i got it from the official ubuntu site about 10 min ago. [17:09] Guest59590: are they empty? [17:09] thanks [17:09] LJRuff, can you teache me to use date command? [17:09] Spamicles, always check the md5sum even if it comes from a trusted source. The download might have been corrupted. [17:09] erUSUL, no they are not, but i cannot say what the content means [17:10] abhi_nav, man to learn all about it. It's the Hacker Way. Learn it.

[17:11] Spamicles, I'd recommend downloading another .iso, running a checksum (you *need* to do this. We *cannot* help you or verify the authenticity of the image unless you check it!!!) and then burning it as slowly as your software/hardware will allow. [17:11] erUSUL, yes it's readable text, but does not say much to me [17:11] Spamicles, it might - it depends on what is corrupted and what isn't. [17:11] Guest59590: paste it ?

[17:15] first who open up computer got first ip [17:16] Riotta: in that case: the answer is no [17:16] Riotta: nfs is from one box to one box. it doesn't support dynamically changing ip addresses. [17:16] FabParma, either reboot or run them from CLI to see if that loads the icon into the menu. [17:16] Riotta: solve your dhcp problem. [17:16] yeah but maybe it's possible to tell ip range [17:16] fstab [17:16] Riotta: nope [17:16] Riotta: make the server allways get the same ip from dhcp ( tweak the dhcp server ) ?? [17:16] Riotta: no.

[17:18] FabParma, well you can always load the icons manually. Run << which > to find out the command's path, then right click on the Applications menu, choose Edit Menus, then create new launchers where the command is the path to the command in bash. [17:18] AhmedBH: Why dual boot two Lucid installs? [17:19] AhmedBH: also you want a seperate /home really, to share between the same version or differnet versions of Ubuntu, or other Linux distros even [17:19] sebsbseb: Good question, just i have GURB on 2nd and thats why because i am learning it so i dont wanna lose bootup so easily how ever so if i lose the boot up from the first i still will have GRUB on second so i can easily move up on second muhahah:P [17:20] sebsebseb: Well no same Lucid LTS [17:20] !jeos [17:20] JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System.

[17:23] how can i reconfigure package xserver-xorg-video-intel [17:23] ? [17:23] ... I can't boot into it, either, so I'm stuck on this live CD [17:23] Anyways i will check it myself :P peoples are sleepin in here [17:23] AhmedBH: How about moving your data to an external hard disk or something, and then getting rid of both your Lucid installs, and only doing one, but before installing telling the installer to make a seperate /home ?

[17:29] how run my ubuntu in low graphics mode/failsafe ? why? how to change it to right? [17:30] Q-Tipped: well get the latest version now? and if that won't detect the harddrive, probably a hardware issue [17:30] and i know it's being detected by the PC because when i try to boot from my HDD it says 'no bootable partiton detected' [17:30] Hey guys, the folks at #antiactaplanning@irc.n0v4.com need a little help anybody care to pitch in? [17:30] Q-Tipped: oh right ok [17:30] Q-Tipped: yeah the install messed up [17:30] sebsebseb sorry if i explained it badly. [17:30] Q-Tipped: so it can't boot anything up [17:30] Q-Tipped: and you don't have Windows on there I guess? [17:30] how do i bind alt+f1 to open up mint menu? [17:31] Q-Tipped: no partition, or well a partition that doesn't work properly, and yep no boot [17:31] Lim0n, keyboard shortcuts [17:31] sebsebseb i had windows on there, but not anymore. [17:31] Q-Tipped: I think it will be ok [17:31] abhi_nav: yeah the only thing i can figure out atm is alt_L [17:31] how would i make a "combo" [17:31] Q-Tipped: get the latest Live CD or maybe 9.10, since thats better than 10.04 in quite a few ways really :D. install that and yeah :) [17:31] I have an ethernet card that I've installed in a machine that I just put Ubuntu 9.10 server on, and I don't know how to get it to work. I know for a fact that it does work with 9.10 server out-of-the-box, but I've installed the card _after_ installing Ubuntu. The card shows up when I run lspci and lshw -class network, but for the latter, it says "DISABLED" next to the card name, and the device doesn't show up with ifconfig. [17:32] ahhhh i just pressed alt + l & it cleared my xchat log [17:32] :( [17:32] sebsebseb yeah, i'm a bigger fan of 9.04 that 10.04 :P i'll try, i can download it on the livecd and then put it on a USB Drive, right? [17:32] Does Ubuntu or some application to rebuild/refresh the *applications menu links*? At the moment I missing many in my menu, to use them I need to launch via console or manually create link. It is so uncomfortable ;) [17:32] Q-Tipped: yeah I much prefer 9.04 myself, to 9.10 or 10.04, thing is [17:32] Q-Tipped: that version will run out of support at the end of October :( [17:32] velociostrich: Sounds like it isnt autoloading the appropriate driver for the ethernet card [17:32] sebsebseb well, hopefully the issues with 10 will be cleaned up by then :P [17:32] http://www.pagereboot.com/?url=http://www.google.com/search?q=threat%20to%20internet%20privacy%20thanks%20to%20ACTA&refresh=4 [17:33] soreau: how can I find out if the module is being loaded? It's some kind of 3Com card [17:33] Q-Tipped: I have a feeling the Plymouth issues will be well there to stay [17:33] Q-Tipped: or at least for quite a while yet [17:33] soreau: I can get specifics if necessary [17:33] Q-Tipped: shame they didn't do Plymouth properly, like Mandriva or Fedora and such. [17:33] velociostrich: You need to figure out what linux kernel module supports it, then load the driver with modprobe [17:33] velociostrich: You need to figure out what linux kernel module supports it, then load the driver with modprobe [17:33] sebsebseb hm. i haven't followed Ubuntu closely, if i'm honest. i switched to using a modified version of crunchbang a while back. yeah, it's a shame it didn't come out right. ubuntu's a good distro. [17:34] hey, I'm trying to mv a file using sudo, but I am getting "no tty present and no askpass program specified", anyone know how to fix this? [17:34] Q-Tipped: from a blueprint I read for 10.10 though, it seems they may be fixing it a bit for that one, I hope so :) [17:34] abhi_nav: the default is "Super_L" i've tried F1, Alt_L. none of them bring up the menu :< [17:34] soreau: will try, thanks === danlock2 is now known as bean [17:34] sebsebseb cool :) so, if the partition's still not detected in 9.04, what'd you suggest? [17:34] Lim0n, u in xchat too? [17:34] Lim0n: just bind the "super" key [17:34] Q-Tipped: anyway 9.04 sounds alright, and then you can upgrade to 10.10 when that runs out of support [17:34] velociostrich: Try lspci, then google the relevant output for the model etc and search with keyword ubuntu [17:34] irssi [17:35] velociostrich: sudo cat /etc/modules, to check if a module is automatically loaded, if not, append the module name to the contents of that file, sudo echo "module_name" >> /etc/modules [17:35] soreau: do you know the name of that configuration file that says what modules to load? because I have another machine that I could SSH into and see what module it loads -- that's the machine that I borrowed the card from [17:35] why run my ubuntu in low graphics mode/failsafe ? why? how to change it to right? [17:35] velociostrich: If its a really new model card, it might only be supported in newer kernels [17:35] Lim0n, try MaRk-I 's suggestin [17:35] soreau: no, it's pretty ancient [17:35] ok [17:35] Q-Tipped: if 9.04 won't detect the hard disk, well I guess there is a hard disk failure or something [17:35] yeah that works, but i just wanna know how to make a combination bind :\ [17:35] i dunno the syntax to make them [17:36] me too [17:36] velociostrich: AFAIK, there is a blacklist for modules but it should autodetect and autoload everything else [17:36] soreau: *facepalm* I can't SSH into the machine that I borrowed the card from, because it doesn't have a card in it -- d'oh! I'll just have to search for the card with lspci output [17:36] tomatto_: tampered with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if you are using. if not you might need to use it [17:36] velociostrich: Right, I was wondering when you said that.. [17:36] soreau: thanks for the help; I'll try googling [17:36] nmvictor: have some xorg.conf for intel graphics card? [17:37] sebsebseb, i don't understand it, though. i mean, the harddrive's working, obviously, because i get an error message saying it can find 'no bootable partitons' during startup. :S [17:37] gma950 [17:37] Q-Tipped: yes [17:37] Q-Tipped: I told you already [17:37] Q-Tipped: your install messed up, so it can't boot [17:37] oh, i thought you meant that the hard disk failure means that it would be a hardware error, sebsebseb, sorry. [17:38] tomatto_: na, only have one in my ibook g4, might help though, let me fire it up and paste it over, wanna have it? [17:38] nmvictor: yes i wanna have it [17:39] hi. i am trying to diagnose why my install of a lightly customised Ubuntu always boots read only. i've remounted it as rw and it works fine and ensured that /etc/fstab has entries identical to my other Ubuntu and debian installs where applicable. any ideas?

"they" will p0wn you. [17:43] after my upgrade to 10.04 I'm having strange redirect problem when trying to go to google.com ... any clue where to start tracking down what is causing this? [17:43] insider, ubuntu or kubuntu? [17:43] sav: why not run irc as root, besides it being unneccessary/ [17:43] ubuntu [17:44] Slart: dmesg is full of output that the file system is read only. nothing in /var/ is written of course. i'll try a full fsck and see where it leads. quite peculiar.. [17:44] aeon-ltd: because irc clients have bugs. some bugs can be exploited to run arbitrary code. arbitrary code can do harm to your system, specially when this code has special priviledges. [17:44] timemachine3030: well what happens when you try? [17:44] aeon-ltd: thought it was trivial tho. pretty obvious. [17:44] sav: oh you mean like if someone pm'ed a script [17:44] aeon-ltd, i get redirected to a yahoo 403 error. [17:44] aeon-ltd: not only. that's naive. but anyway, never mind :) [17:44] julianoliver: mm.. it seems odd that it would go read-only without there being some trace of why it does it.. [17:44] timemachine3030: check your dns settings in your browser [17:44] aeon-ltd: can help? [17:45] in both firefox and chrome [17:45] insider: what?

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 ..." [17:46] !8.10 | insider [17:46] insider: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. === Sup|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away [17:46] insider: Rather nice release sadly no longer supported! [17:47] i do not want to upgrade) [17:47] insider: well you should, you don't get any security updates for 8.10 anymore [17:47] !eol > hotfloppy [17:47] hotfloppy, please see my private message [17:47] !eol | hotfloppy insider [17:47] hotfloppy insider: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:47] right guys, i've got a big problem. earlier on i tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 from a live cd, and half way through there was a powercut. when the power came back, i tried to boot into windows and i got a message saying 'no bootable partition detected'. i imagine this is because the installer messed up, so i booted up the live cd and tried to run through the install again, only for it to tell me that it detects no partitions on my compu === Mud is now known as Mud|shower [17:47] insider: at this point you are running an unsupported release. No security updates! [17:47] hotfloppy, this way /msg ubottu !factoid [17:47] can anyone suggest what i can do to fix it? :/ [17:48] insider: you should upgrade to at least 9.04, you have untill the end of October with that one, before that goes end of life as well [17:48] Q-Tipped: your gonna need to restore mbr or get grub [17:48] I have a problem with Konqueror file manager, I'm running Ubuntu version 8.10 intrepid When I try to change view mode for folder It changes globally but not individually for each folder but I expected it to do so [17:48] aeon-ltd how can i do that? [17:48] Slart: well it can't write any logs, so it's tricky. /var is ro also. [17:49] lol.. thanks abhi_nav n sebsebseb :P [17:49] julianoliver: ah.. didn't think of that [17:49] Q-Tipped: either try the install again, complete it ensuring install bottloader was done or use supergrubdisk [17:49] julianoliver: perhaps creating a ramdisk for /var will enable you to see the logs? [17:49] sebsebseb: i don't mid security [17:49] *mind [17:49] insider: loads of bad stuff can happen to a computer, if it is not kept secure enough! [17:50] aeon-ltd: the problem isnt a lack of bootloader. it's a corrupt partition table [17:50] insider: and yes this does include operating systems that aren't Windows as well [17:50] insider: Any decent system administrator considers security over usability. I highly recommend you upgrade. [17:50] sebsebseb: i'm running only few daemons with open ports and they are up to date [17:50] aeon-ltd, i'll try running through the install again. i'll give you a shout in a second, but i don't think it'll work because it can't detect any partitions at the mo. [17:50] maco2: we don't know that for sure, maybe it was just sda1/hda1 was cut during the overwrite of mbr === lofn is now known as audumla [17:51] Q-Tipped: well you just proved maco2 right [17:51] aeon-ltd: if the installer is also not seeing a partition table? [17:51] maco2: read above [17:51] insider: none of the packages in the 8.10 repos are up to date, since the release is no longer supported. You could maintain the system yourself a bit, but you can't quarrantee that by doing so your properly secure, unless you know properly what you are doing. [17:51] aeon-ltd, maco2, so, what can i do? :/ [17:52] hello all, I want to setup the apt-cacher package version 1.6.8: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher ; but in lucid repo nothing about this version (the lastest version doesent worked for me in other machine, but 1.6.8 is still works there); from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher I can download .tar.gz file, how can I install it ? [17:52] Q-Tipped: not much. get a UPS so power cuts dont kill ya next time [17:52] Q-Tipped in a terminal sudo fdisk /dev/sda if that goes through press 'p' [17:52] Q-Tipped: you can try to recreate teh partition table with fdisk like iflema is saying [17:52] Q-Tipped: if it matches what you had before you could be lucky and have it work === audumla is now known as audumla|bbl [17:52] sebsebseb: compiling is not in vogue [17:53] insider: anyway 9.04 is quite similar to 8.10, so why not upgrade to that at least? Then 9.10 or whatever that is still supported after that? [17:53] antivirtel: extract it, cd into it, ./configure, make, make install, do those [17:53] maco2, iflema i'm getting an error: 'unable to open /dev/sda' [17:53] Q-Tipped: and if you dont format, the list of inodes at the start of your ntfs drive will be intact making data recovery possible [17:53] sebsebseb: i used 9.10 and do not like it [17:53] Q-Tipped: did you "fdisk" or "sudo fdisk"? [17:53] aeon-ltd :O I thook that it isnt a source, thanks, i compile it :) [17:53] maco2 sudo fdisk [17:54] grub 2 is damn piece of sh.t [17:54] insider: I am not that keen on 9.10 myself, but now I prefer it to 10.04 :) when 9.10 was the latest release, I switched distro :D [17:54] antivirtel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [17:54] insider: yes I don't like Grub 2 myself, but heres the good news [17:54] insider: obfuscated swearing is still swearing [17:54] insider: and thus not allowed here [17:54] insider: if you upgrade your 8.10 install, you will still have the old version of Grub yourself, unless you install the later yourself [17:54] sorry [17:55] what's wrong with grub2 then? [17:55] jakexks: nothing [17:55] jakexks: the new config file layout [17:55] sebsebseb: just hates change :P [17:55] maco2, 'sudo fdisk /dev/sda' [17:55] if i upgrade more than half of my things won/t work [17:55] jakexks: nothing, just most people havent learned the new way to configure stuff [17:55] Q-Tipped in a terminal sudo fdisk -l [17:55] jakexks: and the slightly crapper (IMO) automagic system [17:55] jakexks: many of us prefer the old version, since we know how to deal with it :) and also we get what we want from a bootloader with it, we don't need the extra stuff that Grub 2 offers [17:55] jakexks: beta is beta [17:55] insider: grub2 isnt beta... [17:55] tomatto_: back [17:55] iflema what after that? [17:55] insider: that depends on what change it is [17:55] insider: wrong one [17:56] IdleOne: ^ [17:56] nmvictor: great. do you have it? [17:56] Q-Tipped error? [17:56] Q-Tipped: i dont know why it's doing that [17:56] iflema nopoe. [17:56] hi [17:56] hello renee [17:56] insider: what do you mean that half your stuff won't work? did some of your hardware lose support in some version? [17:56] want me to pastebin my console, maco2/iflema? [17:56] insider: ok what else don't you like about later versions of Ubuntu? [17:56] I interrupted my screensaver as it was kicking in but now I'm stuck with a half dimmed screen. how can I restore the brightness? [17:56] im trying to load firefox and i get this terminal message "Couldn't load XPCOM." [17:56] sebsebseb: changes in appearance [17:57] tomatto_: have a look at http://paste2.org/get/905563 === xsaiddx is now known as kosaidpo [17:57] tomatto_: no coments nor notes in so you are on you on [17:57] insider: such as? and oh can make even 10.04 look very much so, like the old versions such as 8.10 [17:57] I've tried letting the screen saver kick in on its own and then waking it up again but I'm still dimmed [17:57] sebsebseb: new versions are more space dependant [17:57] +antivirtel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware <--- yeah, thx, I compiled yet some other thing :) [17:57] oxyrosis: tried reinstalling? [17:57] l [17:57] Q-Tipped do you know the partition number of the failed install? pastebin the output [17:57] through synaptic, i did. but i didnt mark for complete removal, i dot wanna lose my bookmarks [17:57] insider: there's a site that has all the old wallpapers, and the theme didnt really change until 10.04, but in 10.04 minimizing necessary screen real estate was a concern in the theming [17:57] iflema i'm imagining it's 1. [17:58] tomatto_: just an advice, you might wanna comment out the modeline, they are specific to the size of the screen so my 12' inch ibook might not be having the same modeline as you X' inch creen [17:58] iflema i don't have any other partitions. [17:58] nmvictor: do you know what driver is for intel gma950 for write it to xorg.conf? [17:58] tomatto_: "intel" [17:58] tomatto_: just use at [17:58] tomatto_: why do you need an xorg.conf at all? [17:58] iflema http://pastebin.com/8rdyxvVW [17:58] sebsebseb: i don't like Compiz and so onб why should i disable all this whistles [17:58] tomatto_: but google to be sure [17:59] maco2: because ubuntu runs gnome with log-graphics mode [17:59] maco2: do you know what do with that? [17:59] how do you stop a printjob ? [17:59] insider: maybe you should do Debian :) since Ubuntu is based on Debian, quite similar to Ubuntu, but will come without the features you don't want I guess :) [17:59] maco2: no one had experience with konqueror? [17:59] LJRuff, erUSUL hey thanks you guys. I understood date command. [18:00] insider: Konqueror :) [18:00] iflema ideas? [18:00] damn this is annoying [18:00] my printer keeps spitting out garbage [18:00] sebsebseb: ubuntu is more humane) [18:00] nmvictor: konqueror is ... ugh. bad rendering [18:00] nmvictor: er not you [18:00] tomatto_: said ati coz its a commin driver for most cards, do lspci } grep VGA , if you see anything like ati technologies then use ati, else {google(driver for ur card} [18:00] insider: im not into konqueror (bad rendering) though i use kubuntu [18:00] maco2: Konqueror is very fast, and displays most webpages ok I guess, well maybe not exactly. [18:00] tomatto_: thats rather odd for intel graphics [18:00] when i do /cat/proc/cpuinfo can i tell if the computer is 64 or 32 bit? i cant figure out any other way to do it =] [18:00] v0lksman: theres some brightness applets, and my laptops have a brightness keys [18:00] Q-Tipped try sudo fdisk /dev/hda [18:01] tomatto_: lspci | grep VGA [18:01] is there a way to save my bookmarks before i reinstall? [18:01] maco2: i use it like file manager and as browser chrome and mozilla [18:01] Dr_Willis, this is a desktop... [18:01] sebsebseb: slashdot not working in konq is why Riddell wanted a webkit browser in kubuntu [18:01] v0lksman: the applkets may still work. [18:01] Spamicles: what does uname -a return? [18:01] iflema same error, unable to open /dev/hda [18:01] v0lksman: ive never seen the issue happen to anyone else in here. so not sure what else to tell you to try [18:01] insider: ah. have you seen dolphin, the new kde file manager? [18:01] hi, i really tried to google it, but didnt find anything useful: How can i set/change env-variables permanently? [18:01] Dr_Willis, any idea what they are called? [18:01] maco2: not good for me [18:01] I installed kde and realized it to be a grave mistake. Now when I wanted to uninstall it - all the packages that came with it isin't removed. I want that. I want it gone. apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop didn't remove them although apt-get install kubuntu-desktop installed em all [18:01] kleopatra: put them in your ~/.profile [18:01] maco2: Riddell that names sounds a ltitle familur or something, whos that? also instead of Apple forking KHTML why didn't they just improve it? [18:01] Spamicles: oh wait, uname -a will show installed system not what your hardware is capable of [18:01] v0lksman: Nope. I use my laptop keys. use the seardh feature of synaptic [18:01] Hi - I have one ATI and one nVidia video card. I want to setup a dual monitor setup - is this possible, or do I need two cards of the same type? [18:02] IdleOne, well the live disk im running is 32 bit but im trying to find out if the processor is 64 bit so i can install 64 [18:02] IdleOne, yeah =] [18:02] maco2: and the same issue on dolphin [18:02] Dr_Willis, yeah I assume this is a weird issue not experienced by many...I've never had it happen before and I've done that same thing many times... [18:02] v0lksman: perhaps go to the console and back.. might kick it in the head [18:02] insider: Security matters! [18:02] Dr_Willis, will try...thx [18:02] insider: so you should upgrade Ubuntu to at least 9.04 as I said before [18:02] v0lksman: or go to the screensaver settings and 'test' out a few of them. :) [18:02] sebsebseb: he's the kde developer who said that if canonical didnt have a kde person hacking away yet, he's available, and thus started kubuntu [18:02] sebsebseb: i'll wait for 10.10 [18:02] maco2: oh [18:03] Spamicles: lshw perhaps [18:03] people say it would be awsome [18:03] how to remove all the sucky programs that came with kubuntu-desktop? [18:03] sebsebseb: "why didnt apple give patches back to us instead of forking?" is a common complaint among kde devs ;-) i think the answer is "because apple is a bad open source citizen" [18:03] insider: by the time 10.10 comes out, something rather malicious might have happended to your 8.10 install, security updates are there for a reason [18:03] iflema i have no idea why it's not being detected, the HDD's obviously still working because it pulls an error on booting. [18:03] nmvictor: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [18:03] sebsebseb: ha, don't mind [18:04] AGAIN ... does anyone here know how to cancel print jobs [18:04] sebsebseb: i will use firewall [18:04] maco2: what do you mean by that? [18:04] Q-Tipped try sudo fdisk /dev/hdb or sudo fdisk /dev/sdb [18:04] insider: Firewall does not protect you against security bugs in the OS [18:04] i'm wasting paper [18:04] and toner [18:04] IdleOne, width:64 bits of logical:cpu0 and logialcpu:1 ? [18:04] jagosix: 'lpq' command, of the gnome print manager tool. or the cups web interface. http://localhost:631 [18:04] jagosix: there is a printer-queue-thingy that shows up in the task tray when you print [18:04] IdleOne, so im guessing 64? =] [18:04] jagosix: kill cups? [18:04] jagosix: there should be a little printer show up in your tray when printing is happening. can cancel it there [18:04] Spamicles: yup [18:04] sebsebseb: but it can block any ip or not? [18:04] jagosix: should also be a button on your printer to cancel [18:04] maco2: indeed they basically took a load of open source, put lip stick on it, and sold to the general public, :D [18:05] jagosix: and if you're really stuck, you can unplug the printer :P [18:05] jagosix: but if the job is already sent to the printer that won't do much.. you'll have to go over to the printer and cancel the job there. [18:05] any range of port i want [18:05] tomatto_: well you had better found you driver through google or ask in this channel, the rest of the setting might work though, are you using lucid lynx? [18:05] tomatto_: what do i mean by what? [18:05] IdleOne, ive been away from linux for awhile. does wine do any better with emulation, or are there any open source programs like vmware? [18:05] iflema still not working. === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [18:05] jagosix: Depends how you printed it. If you used lp, use the 'cancel' command, it has its own manpage, check it out. [18:05] Spamicles: Wine Is Not an Emulator [18:05] nmvictor: yes, lucid lynx [18:05] are there any programs that i can use to backup my bookmarks from firefox without actually opening firefox? [18:05] insider: there is more to computer security, than open ports and such [18:05] !vm > Spamicles [18:05] Spamicles, please see my private message [18:05] maco2: maco2> tomatto_: thats rather odd for intel graphics [18:05] oh dear. thank you =] === casey_ is now known as casey [18:06] thanks fellas.. I'll give it a try [18:06] jagosix: this of course, is assuming you use regular ubuntu and printed using the regular gui tools.. otherwise it might not work [18:06] oxyrosis: the bookmarks are in a single file I recall in teh .mozilla/XXXXXXXX directory. so youi could just backup that file [18:06] well.. i just logged into the cups web interface [18:06] sweet, thanks [18:06] insider: and you can have all your ports closed, and still get a security issue, if your OS doesn't have all the security updates, and is Internet connected. [18:06] aeon-ltd there is no ./configure ... what is it? :O [18:06] iflema what now? [18:06] lpq has worked for me - with jobs printed from the gui. [18:06] Q-Tipped and you say sudo fdisk -l fails? I cant think... well all thats comming is gparted live-cd [18:07] lp, lprm, and a few other lpXXX tools :) [18:07] sebsebseb: i agree with you but i preffer old stuff and i use two operating systems and do not have some credit card info on my hard drive) [18:07] iflema sudo fdisk -l doesn't fail, it just doesn't do anything. [18:07] antivirtel: is a command you should run in a terminal [18:07] !fonts [18:07] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [18:07] tomatto_: intel has worked out of the box as long as ive used linux (4 years). has had 3D AIGLX to make Compiz go since 6.10. i can recall only one case where it didnt, and that was a bug where intel put a new chipset number under the same model name and a single line had to be added to the kernel to fix it [18:07] Q-Tipped with the sudo it fails? [18:07] insider: well Debian Stable is rather old :) also as I told you earlier 9.04 is very much so like 8.10 really [18:07] tomatto_: i saw today where intel has released some updated intel drivers. :) [18:07] iflema sudo fdisk -l doesn't do anything, yeah [18:07] 8.04 is still updatable? [18:08] iflema i don't need to do anything like sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, do i? [18:08] insider: ah yes 8.04 I kind of forgot about that one [18:08] insider: yes 8.04, that is still supported untill April next year [18:08] aeon-ltd... i compiled yet im my life, but: ~/apt-cacher-1.6.8$ ./configure bash: ./configure: No file or directory [18:08] !8.04 [18:08] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [18:08] tomatto_: so i find it quite odd for intel graphics to end up in low graphics mode. unless i suppose if you have a second graphics card installed but are trying to use the onboard and its getting confused... [18:08] sebsebseb: maybe downgrade? ))) [18:08] !lucyd [18:08] tomatto_: lucid does not much require an xorg.conf unless its really needed like you case and my ibooks case [18:08] My sound has stopped working and in the notification area it look like this "--" <- the soundbar that is.. ive tried to reload alsa without success, what can i do [18:08] !lucid > HexLaTor [18:08] HexLaTor, please see my private message [18:08] insider: yes sounds good to me, since you want to be using older stuff, and it will still be supported for quite a bit longer yet [18:08] abhi_nav, lol [18:08] :D [18:08] aeon-ltd I said it before, I thook this isnt a source code... [18:09] anyone? [18:09] jolaren: sound is muted [18:09] how about google, [18:09] maco2: gnome runs in low-graphics mode. [18:09] IdleOne: is it? how can I unmute it? I've tried hotkeys alt f8 without success [18:09] antivirtel: thook? [18:09] tomatto_: lucid does not much require an xorg.conf unless its really needed like you case and my ibooks case, how about google? [18:09] insider: I was thinking upgrade, upgrade, and didn't think that actsually you can downgrade to 8.04, but you will have to clean install to do that. [18:09] iflema but yeah, either way 'sudo fdisk -l' doesn't do anything and 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' doesn't do anything. doesn't call back an error, it just doesn't do anything [18:09] !downgrade | insider [18:09] insider: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [18:09] tomatto_: yeah....sounds like a bug to me. that shouldnt happen with intel graphics [18:09] jolaren: click on the speaker icon and unmute [18:09] Jordan_U: click on the sound indicator and click the top unmute option [18:10] IdleOne: Can't be done [18:10] Jordan_U: sorry. [18:10] aeon-ltd sry: thought [18:10] jolaren: why not? [18:10] IdleOne: Only listings is About, remove panel etc [18:10] oops need to make something like Microsoft [18:10] with downgrading vista to xp) [18:10] jolaren: left click :) [18:10] insider: I think even there people have to clean install? === SlidingHorn_out is now known as slidinghorn [18:10] !windows [18:10] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[18:12] tomatto_ i have the same card though 940 replaced 950 in you case [18:12] so yeah, iflema, what'd you suggest? [18:12] and when i'm upgrading isn't it like clean install? [18:12] IdleOne: but I still believe your mute theory [18:12] insider: no [18:12] !sound | jolaren follow the links they may have more info [18:12] jolaren follow the links they may have more info: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[18:14] 8.10 [18:14] insider: and why are you running your IRC client as root? [18:14] i'm always using root [18:14] insider: then you're probably not running Ubuntu. [18:14] insider: Gnome 3 is coming, Gnome 2 is on its way out. if you do upgrade to 8.04 though, when that runs out of support, you could upgrade directly to 10.04, and then run Gnome 2 for another year. Since you want older stuff. [18:14] insider: just like chuck norris [18:15] insider: also you shoudn't run a root account in Ubuntu [18:15] h00k: hes on 8.10 [18:15] h00k: and doesn't care much about security it seems [18:15] insider: If you are, install upgrade-manager and upgrade to a supported version. [18:15] insider: downgrade not upgrade, above [18:15] sebsebseb: i preffer KDE 3.5 [18:15] h00k: he wants older stuff, so will probably downgrade to 8.04 with a clean isntall [18:15] sebsebseb: You can't upgrade to 8.04 from 8.10. And downgrades are not-supproted. [18:15] Pici: indeed [18:16] right guys, i've got a big problem. earlier on i tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 from a live cd, and half way through there was a powercut. when the power came back, i tried to boot into windows and i got a message saying 'no bootable partition detected'. i imagine this is because the installer messed up, so i booted up the live cd and tried to run through the install again, only for it to fail because 'no root filesystem is defined', and [18:16] Pici: see above :) [18:16] sebsebseb: roger that. [18:16] h00k: ok i'll try [18:16] anyone know what i can do? :/ [18:16] but why older stuff? [18:16] insider: also, we don't support running as root. [18:16] insider: ok you like KDE 3.5 well more good news then :) [18:17] insider: 8.04 still has it in the repo :) and theres also a project that is keeping it alive for later versions of Ubuntu and such [18:17] anyone? [18:17] Q-Tipped its not looking good.... Id try gparted. either on a current version (livecd) or gparted live [18:17] h00k: and if i have 0 rights but my user name is insider that's more different? [18:18] iflema, can i use g-parted in 9.04? [18:18] insider: anyway this is what you should do then it seems :) downgrade with a clean install to 8.04 yep, run KDE 3.5, and don't use root with Ubuntu :) [18:18] <_fynn> hi.. is there a way to permantly change the default input method to something different from System (IBus (Intelligent Input Bus))? [18:18] insider, did you need support help with upgrading to 9.04 or beyond? or just wish to chat; 8.10 is not supported any longer. [18:18] !noroot | insider [18:18] insider: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [18:19] ah, i'm running gparted now, iflema. [18:19] insider, if it's just chat, then #ubuntu-offtopic is the channel for that [18:19] sebsebseb: thanks [18:19] iflema, it's not detecting anything... >_> [18:19] i need help about konqueror [18:19] insider, that version is not supported [18:19] insider: you can also install KDE 4 into 8.04, but the version in repo is old one [18:20] sebsebseb: no kde 4 [18:20] insider: ok well if you want to mix some KDE 3 and KDE 4 apps :D [18:20] bazhang: already been through the 8.10 is no longer supported thing :) [18:20] bazhang: konqueror 3.5.1 is not supported here? [18:20] Do any of you know a good linux alternative to Itunes Genius playlists [18:20] insider: no he meant 8.10 [18:20] sebsebseb, so its offtopic (not supported) [18:21] don't matter my 8.10, let's imagine i have 10.10 with kde 3.5 [18:21] * hotfloppy dont like kDE.. dont know whats the reason :P [18:21] +antivirtel: doesn't the deb just work <-- how ?? [18:21] bazhang: actsaully supporting it in here would be yes, but first we told him to upgrade, then after he told us he wanted older stuff, the talk changed to going back to 8.04 with a clean install :) [18:21] insider: 10.10 isn't supported in this channel. [18:21] lmao [18:21] h00k: ok 9.10 or 8.04 [18:22] sebsebseb, feel free to take this to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic [18:22] i mean konqueror file manager [18:22] pssssst. try 1-.04 [18:22] 10.04 [18:22] sorry for 10.10 [18:22] hi === nomike_ is now known as nomike [18:22] enough of this offtopic/not supported versions. This conversation is distracting from what #ubuntu and it's users are here for. [18:23] How do I find all symplinks pointing to e.g. "/tmp/testfile.txt"? [18:23] s/symplinks/symlinks/ [18:23] insider: anyway you know what to do now, back to 8.04 with a clean install, and the chat is starting to annoy other people in the channel. [18:23] sebsebseb: i understand [18:24] guys, i was just trying to recover data from a broke windows install using Testdisk, and now (when i try to install ubuntu) the gpartitioner doesn't detect anything. [18:25] i'm using the Ubuntu Live CD version 9.04, what can anyone suggest I do? [18:25] sebsebseb: thank's for assistance [18:25] i think i must have messed up when i was using testdisk D: [18:25] insider: your welcome [18:25] could anyone help me out? [18:25] The backspace key is too far... [18:26] Baelgrer: uhmm [18:26] Baelgrer: have you got the data from WIndows? [18:26] sebsebseb no, i can't get into windows. [18:26] Baelgrer: right well don't install Ubuntu not yet [18:26] Baelgrer: you don't want the data on your hard disk to get over written by something [18:26] sebsebseb: if i update to 9.04 would it use gnome? [18:27] insider, yes [18:27] sebsebseb i'm not overly bothered about the data, i just want to get an OS onto my PC now D: [18:27] nomike: try "ls -l /tmp/testfile.txt" [18:27] I want to map its functionality to another key, but I don't know which... [18:27] insider: yes however there is a project that will give you KDE 3.5 even, unoffical though [18:27] Does anyone know a good playlist alternative to Itunes Genius playlists? [18:27] insider, if you are on gnome now. if not then no [18:27] bazhang: can skip some versions and upgrade to 10? [18:27] does anyone have any suggestions? [18:27] insider, fresh install [18:27] insider: no to upgrade to 10.04, you would have to go through 9.04 and 9.10 first [18:27] nomike: on second thought, that might be not the correct answer.. sory.. [18:28] insider: unless you are on 8.04, then can directly upgrade, but your not [18:28] nomike: it is pretty gheto but 'find ./ -type l -print | xargs ls -l {} | grep' will find all symlinks print what they link to and them filter by the file you want. [18:28] hotfloppy: thx anyway, I found another solution for my problem where I don't have to do such weird things as seaching for symlinks pointing to a file.... *g* [18:29] nomike: care to share ? [18:29] tarrant: Well I will give it a try.... [18:29] thx [18:29] by [18:29] some stupid question : Will there ever be a linux-version of the adobe design-suites ? Or whats the state of affairs ? [18:29] Baelgrer: are you ash____? [18:29] hotfloppy: normally yes. but I'm in a hurry and need to get to an appointment.. [18:29] Does Ubuntu or some application to rebuild/refresh the *applications menu tree links*? At the moment I missing many in my menu, to use them I need to launch via console or manually create link. It is so uncomfortable ;) [18:29] nomike: thats okay.. :) [18:30] Mark-I i may be. however, to avoid laughter i'm going to say no. >__> [18:30] cu [18:30] lol ok [18:30] insider: someone who is kind of famous in the Ubuntu channels, told me about three weeks ago, that he is still doing 8.04 with KDE 3.5. So if its good enough for him still, it should be good enough for you :) [18:30] sebsebseb: :) [18:30] Mark-I (i still have a sense of humour, even though i think this computer is now bricked, y'see) [18:30] FabParma: right click on Applications > Edit menus [18:31] Baelgrer: need a new HD eh [18:31] Mark-I i don't think the HD's broke, because it's still responsive. when I try to boot up it gives me the error 'no bootable partiton found'. [18:32] Baelgrer: right back to you [18:32] guys, who sees an xml sort of error when accessing google docs using google cl? === sean_ is now known as seanpatrick [18:32] well fireup gparted and see if you can format it [18:32] Baelgrer: so you deleted Windows? and now no partition on the computer? no OS? [18:32] trying to get 2 statics to work on ubuntu 10.04 through /etc/network/interfaces [18:32] but, when i attempt to install Ubuntu i get an error that 'no root filesystem's defined', and I can't define one because there is nothing to select. [18:32] is there some disk clean up tools for ubuntu? [18:32] only one or the other works... not both [18:32] How do I use compiz to map my horizontal scroll to browser back and forward buttons? [18:32] insider: bleachbit [18:32] Mark-I so yeah, I think I''ve really messed up the partitions [18:33] Baelgrer: sudo apt-get install gparted [18:33] insider: and maybe Ubuntu Tweak has something useful, altough that isn't exactly supported in here [18:33] sebsebseb: aha [18:33] s'installed. [18:33] insider: disk cleaning? what do you want to clean? its Ubuntu not WIndows [18:33] sebsebseb: So how about we stop offering "not exactly supported" apps in here [18:33] insider: there isn't a need to disk defrag and what not [18:33] Maletor: That would be something you setup in the browser, if it supports that feature. Compiz cant just push buttons, however there is xdotool.. [18:34] Baelgrer: gparted doesnt detect the hd? [18:34] Mark-I when i run gparted, everything's greyed out, and refreshing devices brings nothing. [18:34] or any partition at all? [18:34] some disk cached files [18:34] Mark-I none :/ [18:34] IdleOne: Ubuntu Tweak is popular, but 3rd party app I meant, and I haven't seen people give support for it in here before or not that I remember anyway, hence what I put [18:34] oops [18:35] anyone using gtmess? [18:35] mark-i so, what'd you think? [18:35] insider: and yeah its not in the repo [18:35] Baelgrer: but while ago you said you could change the partitions to bootable... odd [18:36] mark-i, yeah, i know. then i used testdisk and everything changed. [18:36] mark-i, so i'm not quite sure what i did, but somehow i've messed it up >_> [18:36] Baelgrer: don't put Ubuntu on yet, get hold of your data first [18:36] Baelgrer: but you were supposed to use photorec [18:36] sebsebseb i can't do anything >_> [18:36] Baelgrer: you can install testdisk from repo onto Live CD of Ubuntu, but that will be an older version, and they have their own CD [18:37] to recover the files === Mud|shower is now known as Mud [18:37] on lucid, how do I run a task at startup? I created a file in /etc/rcS.d, linked it to a script in init.d.... doesn't work. [18:37] Baelgrer: testdisk also seems to only work with partitions that have actasully been deleted, well last time I tried it and such anwyay [18:37] hallo [18:37] mark-i followed the guide someone sent, it said about copying files using testdisk. [18:37] abhi_nav: the syntax is other_key [18:37] also what is the big picture here? Is lucid using upstart or init? Where is the best documentation? [18:38] mark-i not going to lie, i have no idea what's happened. all i know is that earlier on, i could change the partitions to bootable, primary, etc., and now after using testdisk they've disappeared. [18:38] Lim0n, ok [18:38] e.g. F1 [18:38] : [18:38] :D [18:38] Baelgrer: have you rebooted the livecd after using testdisk? [18:38] Baelgrer yeah, lie you say.

[18:42] mark-i iflema that is what really happened D: i was trying to recover files from a broken windows install, someone suggested testdisk/photorec so i downloaded/installed that. after that, i booted up testdisk and followed the guide as closely as possible (the version had change, and so had its layout) so i had to guess a few things, i got to the same end as the guide, though. after that, it told me to restart for changes to take effect [18:42] lucas-arg, gnewsense? [18:42] Baelgrer you are/where Q-Tipped [18:42] bazhang: its a nice distro but it isnt as updated as ubuntu... [18:43] mark-i iflema wouldn't boot and still gave the same error ('no bootable partition detected') and so i tried to install ubuntu 9.04 via the live cd, when GParted couldn't detect anything i thought 'WHOOPS' and rejoined this channel [18:43] iflema not q-tipped, just ash____ from earlier. [18:43] lucas-arg, they have a support channel on freenode; did you have an Ubuntu support issue?

I only got 1gb usb stick. [19:07] mark-i, ah, right. well, there's a different message now, it says 'DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISC'. Don't know if that changes anything, though. [19:07] nops [19:07] but i will try [19:07] any body? i see my question disappearing :( ;) [19:08] borwar: You may be able to try one of the alternate images, if you've got a really small flash drive like that. [19:08] Ash: hhmm no idea think the hd is borked [19:08] mark-i yeah, i guessed it probably would be. oh well :/ [19:08] HydroUK: repost your question ( 10 minutes or so) in one post so it is easier to follow [19:08] Kyle__: Where can I find alternate images? [19:08] eek ok just noticed that in topic tbh sorry [19:09] HydroUK: no worries [19:09] borwar: On the ubuntu site. They have the standard images, and the alternate images. [19:09] what hapen [19:09] are you going to give me or not [19:09] Kyle__: Like netbook edition? [19:09] borwar: Yea, netbook, but also low memory, text only, LVM. There are _lots_ of alternate images. [19:10] Hello. Wubi does not show "Install Inside Windows" button at all on any of my machines (Tested Win7 and XP). Googled around to no avail.

The worst that can happen is you need to reformat the stick! [19:12] eh, i got a box full of pci cards somewhere [19:13] i just hate shutting down, heh [19:13] nyu: ok, nevermind the usb thing then.. go with what you've got [19:13] So, anyone know how to install 32bit software on the 64bit 'buntu? [19:13] is there a good program for diffing remote files localy? [19:13] with like a commader interface [19:14] sanguisdex: Umm, you mean like diff? [19:14] sanguisdex, you mean scp, rsync etc [19:14] Neither "Display" nor "Screen resolution" appears in my System - Preferences Menu [19:14] Lucid [19:14] I should have said merging [19:14] tarvid: I think it's called "Monitors" in lucid [19:14] I will talk to jammie to see what I can do [19:15] sanguisdex: If you have the kde compontents installed, maybe Kompare. Look at the screenshots on wikipedia. It's pretty damn slick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompare [19:15] Slart, Thanks that works [19:15] Kyle__: thanks trying to avoid laong k libs on my machine [19:16] in svn I can "svn log -r BASE:HEAD", it shows the commit logs between what I have locally and what server has. how can I achieve the same in bzr? [19:16] sanguisdex: I know, but if you really need a good diff/merge tool, kompare is awesome. Generally I use the one built into netbeans, but it's not as nice. === rhl6856 is now known as rhl [19:17] Anyone else have an issue with the volume not correctly being adjusted (via keyboard or the sound applet) [19:18] Just booted up my first 'buntu box, an Ion Breeze, from Zotac. Anybody familiar with this thing? [19:18] yea [19:18] heathen: Is that the distro or the hardware? Either way, never heard of it.

My e-mail is full of Linux newsletters, subscriptions, mailing lists - yet the ads are always Microsoft ads. [19:20] Should I be using x64 Ubuntu if my CPU supports it? [19:20] hi, having real issues with networking (disabled ipv6 to no avail), everything is slow, can't fetch a file from apache/ssh/ftp @ over 1.4MBps, this is with Lucid Lynx [19:20] LorgonJortle, no [19:20] can any one help me plz [19:20] LorgonJortle: sure, give it a try [19:20] !ask | bihari [19:20] bihari: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:20] bihari :: what the problem?? [19:20] http://www.pastebin.org/384609 i'm on this laptop with vista [19:20] LorgonJortle, do you have a 64 bit processor? [19:20] man but i dont get the answer of my question [19:20] LJRuff: Why shouldn't I be? If I have 6GB of RAM, am I going to be using all of it? [19:20] i need new gaychi [19:20] LJRuff: Yeah, I do. [19:21] so that i can compile to work for yahoo clints [19:21] ?? whats that [19:21] LorgonJortle: the only thing that is problematic these days is flash.. since adobe temporarily removed the 64bit flash plugin (for security reasons), you can still run the 32bit plugin with ndiswrapper though [19:21] But last time I installed x64 Ubuntu (like 8.04) I had several problems. [19:21] LorgonJortle, *if* you have a 64 bit processor then sure - go for it. If you have an x_86 arch and tons of ram you're just lookin' to spend then no. [19:21] LorgonJortle: That's a big Q ya know. Do you have more than 4GB of ram? Do you know if you need anything that's 32bit only? [19:21] no idea [19:21] plz give me [19:21] no ideas? [19:21] i will compile it [19:22] bihari, you're not making any sense. [19:22] is there someplace or someone to talk to for help with my network connection? http://www.pastebin.org/384609 [19:22] LorgonJortle, I'd *really* err on the side of x_86 and not the 64 bit unless you're just dead set on it. [19:22] I don't think there's anything I need that's only 32bits. [19:22] I do have a x64 processor, LJRuff. haha [19:22] Longhorn: _most_ 32bit stuff works fine on the 64bit install, but not all of it. Then again, some virtualization systems work better if the host is 64bit. If this is a desktop, and you're not sure, I'd go for 32bit. [19:22] Intel Core 2 Quad [19:22] LorgonJortle: oops, not Longhorn... [19:23] LorgonJortle, use the 64 bit - if you hate it change [19:23] LorgonJortle, kyle_ and I have both told you our thoughts. = / It's your call. [19:23] :P [19:23] !sorry | Longhorn [19:23] Longhorn: It's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/ [19:23] whats is you sens === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [19:24] One reason I consider x64 is that I have a x64 Win7 guest (VMWare), and I'd like to be able to give it more than 2GB of RAM. [19:24] LorgonJortle: Remember, if you have more than 4GB, you can still use it in a 32bit box, it just won't be as efficient. With 4 cores though, you probably won't notice, unless you're really _really_ pushing the box. [19:24] * HydroUK is not a happy bunny, someone must have an idea as to what is involved hehe [19:24] * HydroUK begs on his knees :) [19:24] HydroUK: tried using some other dns services? google dns perhaps? [19:24] Is anyone particularly experienced with truecrypt full-drive encryption? I'm looking to get a USB boot disk (with bootloader and /boot partition) to launch a wubi-style encrypted root disk. [19:25] Slart, dns isnt the issue here [19:25] ssh doesnt use dns [19:25] im using ip's only [19:25] bihari: I'm goint to paste you how to do it, you have to download the file yourself and compile it, I'm not goint to help you with that ok? [19:25] HydroUK: or.. wait.. regular transfers aren't slow? once they've started? [19:25] LorgonJortle: Check the virtualbox documentation. You _may_ be able to run a 64bit guest with more than 2gb of ram on a 32bit host. I'm not sure. [19:25] yup [19:25] HydroUK: oh.. sorry. didn't read all the info.. [19:25] if they start around 3MB they quickly level out at 1.4MB [19:25] Kyle__: I can, but it doesn't end well.

[19:55] firefox and my trash can [19:55] Phun5tar: have a look at system-> preferences -> startup applications [19:55] hi all [19:55] akiva, for a core Ubuntu installation, I've done it with as little as 10 gig with plenty of extra. What's your goal? [19:55] a +b might work on that guy [19:55] on oracle it said the recommended was 8gb, not sure on a standalone [19:55] I am in a difficiult situation where I lost my last HD to power surge and now I have a Windows laptop that has a pretty full harddrive and I want to go back to Linux [19:55] I thought I read 20 gigs was recommended [19:55] But maybe I am wrong [19:56] akiva, well it depends what you are doing. On my laptop, my root partition is only using 5gb, and I have quite a few applications installed. [19:56] akiva, I have root/home separate, though, so my personal stuff is on my home partition. However, the actual OS + programs is on root, and root is 5gb in size. [19:56] on a fairly fresh 10.04 amd64 I am at 3.5GB and up to date [19:56] Back when I had 10GB for / and remaining for /home/, I ran into a space problem :P [19:56] akiva, so I guess it depends what your goal is. Do you want to use Ubuntu and that's it? Do you want to have personal documents on this Ubuntu install? Etc. [19:56] akiva: You can get away with 4gigs, if you're in a pinch. Maybe look at what's so full on windows? If it's general files/downloads, split that onto it's own partition :) [19:57] any solution for the slow usb transfer bug ? [19:57] Daekdroom, I normally set 15-20gb partition size for root. But like I said, I have a full Ubuntu install on this laptop and 5gb is in use in the root partition. :P [19:57] I always like a little overhead JUST IN CASE... never know. [19:57] is there a way to actively back up my home folder into a separate location on a different HDD in case my current drive fails? [19:57] drew212, there's lots of ways. [19:58] drew212: mount your other harddrive, and copy the data over, it's that simple [19:58] drew212, I personally do that on my desktop at home. I set up an rsync script to run every 12 hours to back my entire home directory up to a different hard drive. [19:58] ANyone? [19:58] ikonia: i'm more looking at what roasted is talking about [19:58] Does anyone know much about laptop hardware? [19:58] drew212: Like Roasted said, lots of ways. Either write yoruself a backup script, or use backula, or backuppc, or amanda, or any one of the other dozens of backup programs out there. [19:58] drew212, it really depends what you want to do. Do you just want a backup for one time and that's it? If so, copy it over as ikonia suggested. Do you want a more automated backup process? Theres lots of apps for that. [19:58] !anyone | zemeus [19:58] zemeus: 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? [19:58] ikthus: what issue are you taking about? [19:59] Roasted: an automated backup [19:59] drew212: it's a good solution [19:59] drew212: the issue with that is your machine has to be on when the crontab runs [19:59] drew212: I can msg you a quick comamnd that will work [19:59] drew212, well, I wrote a script using an rsync command. However, theres a lot of GUI applications that are based on rsync. So it depends which route you want to take - yet both get you to the same destination. [19:59] or I can paste it here... its one line [19:59] anyone able to shed some light on ndiswrapper invalid driver faults? [20:00] Sorry, I figured if someone knew a lot... they would respond, so I wouldn't nag everyone in the room. [20:00] drew212, just keep in mind, if lightning hits that box and fries the hard drives (ALL drives) this backup does nothing. So while I highly recommend doing what you're asking, I still recommend backing up the most important data to an external hard drive or some other form of media. [20:00] Roasted: something with a GUI, but it needs to start on system startup, i don't want to have to remember to turn it on, i forget things easily [20:00] drew212: put it in your rc.local [20:00] drew212, well, I often shut my computer down during the day, but I have my backup run every 12 hours. If it runs at least once every 3 days, I'm happy. So while I shut my system down frequently, it runs frequently enough being its on a 12 hour schedule. [20:01] drew212, you can customize that time frame to anything you want too, by the way. [20:01] Roasted: i have surge protectors, and i'm more looking for something to save to a drive because i frequently reformat and find i'm missing data i need [20:01] Gumby: paste it here will ya? sharing is caring :) [20:01] drew212, even still, I've seen motherboards get fried and in turn throw a "surge" at the hard drives - killing them. [20:01] this will back up everything created 24 hours prior to it being run [20:01] drew212, I've seen some WEIRD power failures, even with proper precautions put in place. I'd still recommend some form of backup for the CRUCIAL data. [20:02] find /path/to/source -mtime -1 -type f -exec pax -rw {} /path/to/destination \; [20:02] thune3, was reporter many times, here for exemple https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/457768 [20:02] lots of other ways, but I know this one to work [20:02] roasted, yea, i'll look into that, i currently can't afford anything other than what i have 1 200gb drive, and a 500gb drive [20:02] drew212, example, I back up my pictures on DVD once a month. I have pictures of people and pets that aren't with me anymore. To lose them, I'd freak out. So I do DVD backups of pictures since they are the most crucial to me, but the rest of the data is kind of whatever - I just let the drives sync up to back the data up. [20:02] I should say created or modified [20:02] Gumby: simple one liner eh.. nice.. [20:03] hotfloppy: yup, nice and simple [20:03] drew212, it's all good. I'm just trying to play devil's advocate because it *IS* important to have more than 1 backup. I work for a large school district, and we have backups of backups of backups. We've had a lot of close calls with data loss, so I'm thankful for the redundancy we have. I apply that opinion to home use too, which is why I'm preaching it here. :P [20:03] Roasted: well thanks for informing me =) [20:04] drew212, there are GUI applications to get started though. Most of which I have not used since I use a bin/bash script I created. [20:04] backups of backups of backups - perfect waste of public money [20:04] Roasted: currently the only problem i've had is self induced, so i want my data in two places in case i kill it in one location =D [20:04] jm_, actually, it's not. Ever have a building burn to the ground with your core servers in place? [20:04] hola [20:04] drew212: if you add that line to /etc/rc.local and also setup a crontab entry for say every 6 hours or so you should be pretty safe === audumla|bbl is now known as audumla [20:04] hi. i am trying to diagnose why my install of a lightly customised Ubuntu always boots read-only. i've remounted it as rw and it works fine and ensured that /etc/fstab has entries identical to my other Ubuntu and debian installs where applicable. fsck has no effect. any ideas? [20:05] jm_, until you do and feel the relief of having an off-site backup, therefore saving yourself money from penalties you'd get from the state from losing critical student data information, I'd suggest being quiet with your opinions. Thanks. [20:05] julianoliver: what have you customised in it [20:05] gente, necesitaria ayuda para utilizar archivos de access en linux [20:05] drew212: although if its an external drive, I'd add a check to make sure the drive was mounted first [20:05] !es | Zeppelean [20:05] Zeppelean: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[20:05] how mutch recources does it take up when you have two user logged in (with switch user)? [20:05] drew212, well, what do you want to set up - a direct home directory backup from 1 drive to another in the SAME system? === hagebake is now known as hagabaka [20:06] Gumby: make a simple script from the command you gave.. thanks :) [20:06] hotfloppy: nice, good work [20:06] Gumby: i mean already make :P [20:06] i don't want it on the same HDD though, i like to destroy HDDs [20:06] ikonia: i've added a few packages, it auto boots into my software on reaching userland /home. [20:06] julianoliver: ok, so nothing actual "custom", just a few config changes [20:06] ikonia: nothing in the fstab has been manipulated, neither init or etc [20:07] Gumby: just in case, when i need to backup a thing.. this script will be handy :) [20:07] hotfloppy: I have a script setup to run that command, tar the files, write the contents of that tar to a file, and email me that file nightly so I can make sure its run properly. I do it at a client of mine. [20:07] julianoliver: is it getting shut down clean ? [20:07] drew212, you want to backup from 1 drive to a 2nd drive, right?> is this in the SAME computer? [20:07] Gumby: you're such a guru.. [20:07] Howdy, just installed netbeans 6.9 ide from the Ubuntu Software Center. basically, a download from sun/netbeans. The install went OK. Now, no icon or way to invoke :-? [20:07] * hotfloppy bow to Gumby [20:07] yes [20:07] ikonia: after the first boot post install it mounted read-only, ever since i've shut it down clean, yes. [20:08] hotfloppy: the great thing about it is, I can always tell when they have a cheque ready for me cause I see that their payables file for me has been edited [20:08] Gumby: lol [20:08] whats a good way to monitor throughput for na interface [20:08] hotfloppy: naw, not a guru... I just have good google fu and know how to ask a question :) [20:08] drew212, well, if you want to check out a gui application, I'm not too sure I'll be of much more help, however, the GUI apps you want to check out are anything based on rsync. [20:08] drew212, my script is simply 1 command.... rsync -a --progress --delete /home/jason/ /media/localbackup/ [20:08] Hello, is it possible to know how many times a bug or a question has been viewed in Launchpad.net ? [20:08] Roasted: i'm looking now thanks a bunch =) [20:09] Gumby: .. and a creative mind ;) [20:09] hehe, that too [20:09] geez: there's probably a command to start it from the command line. did you try netbeans from the CL? [20:09] ikonia: very oddly, it mounts rw as long as i first boot into rescue mode (errors=remount-ro) and *then* fsck and then select *clean* in the ncurses rescue options. if i boot normally, pull up a prompt, remount rw and fsck, no such luck. [20:09] drew212, rsync -a (archiving) --progress shows me the progress of it if I run it manually in terminal (whcih I never do, so its not that important). then theres --delete, which means if I delete something on drive A, and the script runs, it deletes it on drive B. --delete sounds scary, but --delete means when it backs up, itll be EXACT to the source drive - aka your main drive. [20:09] drew212, then of course, /home/jason is my home directory, and /media/localbackup is the location of the 2nd internal hard drive. [20:09] my solution requires no rsync setup :P [20:10] drew212, I just set it up in a #bin/bash script, set up crontab to execute it every 12 hours. [20:10] julianoliver: when you boot into rescure mode, is there .fsck in the root file system [20:10] drew212, from there, I do nothing. IT runs on its own. All of the time. Every 12 hours. [20:10] I do... nothing. :P [20:10] geez: once you figure out what the invocation command is, you can create a launcher and put it on the desktop, in a menu or wherever. [20:10] Gumby, whats your solution? [20:10] ikthus: are you using custom mount options? [20:10] Roasted: find /path/to/source -mtime -1 -type f -exec pax -rw {} /path/to/destination \; [20:10] julianoliver: sorry /forefsck [20:10] Gumby, okay. what's that do? [20:10] i have evolution grabbing IMAPS'd subscribed folders. I have one specific folder that is constantly being double grabbed (which obviates that it thus slows down to all hell on offline syncing). How do I stop it from double grabbing and where is this defined? [20:10] julianoliver: even sorrier, /forcefsck [20:10] Roasted: pretty much what your rsync does :) [20:11] not saying one is better than the other, just different solutions [20:11] Gumby, differente solutions, same results. ahh, linux. :P [20:11] I love it. [20:11] netbeans is an IDE. in the case for groovy/grails [20:11] ikonia: there is no /forcefsck [20:11] add to crontab, run when you want to :) [20:11] geez: also it might already be on the menu, but just not showing. If you right click on the menu and pull up the menu editor, you can see if its already there (probably under programming) and then just check it so it will show. [20:11] julianoliver: even more interesting [20:11] julianoliver: when you fsck it, is it marked as dirty ? [20:11] Gumby, I almost feel "old". the only way I know to use rsync is with crontab and terminal scripts. I dont even know the new gui apps out. :( [20:12] I do not have the path that was given to me [20:12] I fsck my gf and try to mark her as dirty but it never works [20:12] lol? [20:12] well I guess our conversation is over. [20:12] yes [20:12] so anyway drew212... find anything? [20:12] Roasted: i'm working with grsync [20:12] ikonia: no. 0.1 percent discontiguity and then it will continue to boot. it will crash at X (as it needs 'w') but if i 'clean' first it seems to be fine. the clean i need to test one more time however, to be sure that that's necessary. one moment. [20:13] Roasted: Don't feel old, feel like an old master. You don't need the crutch of a gui. [20:13] drew212, good stuff. g-admin has a lot of applications for server oriented things. [20:13] Roasted: how do i get it to automatically run on startup and every 6 hours? [20:13] julianoliver: never seen anything like that [20:13] I do not know how to edit my desktop startup script [20:13] ikonia: it's something of a boring mystery.. [20:13] drew212, ehh you might have me there. You're using a GUI app and I dont use a GUI app for rsync... [20:13] drew212, I would THINK thered be an option for it within the menu though. [20:14] as I said before, I'm a bit stoned and I can't recall my GUI version [20:14] Kyle__, haaa yeah. You gotta love GUI stuff though... it DOES make some things easier. However, I'm a terminal junkie, and "stuck in my ways". :P [20:14] drew212: crontab for timed (every 12 hours), on startup... doesn't ubuntu have an /etc/rc.startup, or something like that. [20:14] it is not gnome, per se [20:14] Roasted: i'm not scared of the CLI, but i'd rather know exactly what i'm doing [20:14] Roasted: Sometimes guis are nice, but by and large, I only use them when I need to show something to a manager/boss/etc. [20:14] i've never used crontab, so you'd have to walk me through it [20:14] Real work is done CLI. [20:14] drew212, hey, completely understandable. I'm just saying my limitation with GUI rsync solutions is limited, so I hate to give you info I'm not 100% concrete on . [20:15] ikonia: sadly, i can't tail the logs as /var is ro. dmesg has a buffer limit. [20:15] perhaps i will alter this [20:15] julianoliver: is it just / that's getting mounted ro [20:15] drew212, well I basically run sudo gedit /etc/crontab, and it brings up a text editor with crontab. But keep in mind, crontab-ing it is with the script option that I use. [20:15] anyone know CLI for editing desktop startup scripts? [20:15] ikonia: yes [20:16] Roasted: i prefer vim =) [20:16] Phun5tar: vim .xsession or .xinit [20:16] julianoliver: what other partitions do you have [20:16] drew212, you see, I create a script and name it "backup". then I set executable permissions to it. That means if I go to terminal and type backup, it runs (as long as ownership permissions are good - which since I own it, and I own the script, it works fine) [20:16] Phun5tar: vim .xsession or .xinitrc [20:16] drew212: /etc/rc.local :) put your on-start script in there. [20:16] Ok so I am getting repeat brute-force attacks on my server trying to guess the root password... I want to set up RSA key identification. I'm kinda of new to this though... I have to run ssh-keygen on the server right? and then copy one of the keys to any client machine that wants to connect right? [20:16] drew212, then I add two entries in crontab. each of them executing by jason - aka me. the command is simply "backup". I set it to run every day, every month, every year, @ 4:00 and 16:00 - 4 am, 4 pm. [20:17] Kyle_i wouldn't know how to write a script, =X i'm a pretty basic user [20:17] drew212, then what I did was I would add a bunch of bogus files in my source drive and the next day I'd check it to make sure it sync'd them to my destination drive. [20:17] Kyle__, hm, I didnt know that. What all can you put in rc.local? Is it just for bin bash scripts to run on startup? [20:17] I don't see items that correlate to my issue [20:17] hi, I have too much source code in my home from different project get from internet and I would put in another place than /home what is the best place? and what about rights? [20:17] drew212, it's easy, you just need to know the command. [20:17] upon using those commands, that is [20:17] ikonia: i have three in total. a bootable /dev/sda1, an extended /dev/sda3 and swap on /dev/sda5 [20:18] drew212, my script is 2 lines. first line is #!bin/bash. 2nd line is rsync -a --progress --delete /home/jason/ /media/localbackup/ [20:18] drew212, save, name it "backup" (my personal preference) and then allow executable rights to it. [20:18] Roasted: Yup. It runs after all the other init scripts. So if you want something non-standard to run on boot, you put it in there. [20:18] julianoliver: what file systems are they / /home etc ? [20:18] Kyle__, its just for bin bash scripts though? [20:19] i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. [20:19] Roasted: will rsync remove files if they're removed from the source dir? [20:19] ikonia: in fact the /dev/sda3 isn't mounted in fstab.. [20:19] drew212, by default, no. that's what the --delete tag does. [20:19] Roasted: It's for anything you want. Just remember it runs as root :) [20:19] Hi guys! Anyone here has experience wiht Ubuntu PXE installs? [20:19] drew212, thats my command by the way. You customize it to YOUR system. [20:19] why does firefox and my trash can open upon desktop startup? [20:19] I cannot hard code 2 static ip's in ubuntu 10.04 64, only one or hte other works, never both? [20:19] julianoliver: if you boot without splash, do you see anything obvious ? [20:19] Drknezz, Ive ran FOG on Ubuntu before, which PXE boots systems for imaging. [20:19] ikonia: yes, endless read-only filesystem reports. [20:20] Roasted: Sometimes I use it to mount things that are finicky, sometimes I use it for configs. SOmetimes I use it cause I've compiled a service that I was too lazy to write a proper init script for :) [20:20] julianoliver: how odd [20:20] julianoliver: it's not an SSD is it ? [20:20] Roasted: im trying to install ubuntu from a tftp server running on windows, problem is, i need to preload drivers for my laptop net hardware [20:20] Kyle__, hmm, never had a need for it *yet* but its a good thing to know. [20:20] ikonia: no [20:20] Drknezz, hmm, wouldnt have any experience there. My experience is the opposite - I use ubuntu as the server, and image windows clients. [20:21] Roasted :S [20:21] i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. [20:21] julianoliver: I can't think of a reason for this behaviour [20:21] CppIsWeird: Do you have any other repos than the normal ones? [20:21] ikonia: nor can i. it's quite troubling really. [20:21] Roasted: That file, or one like it, is found in most every linux/BSD and other unix like system. [20:21] julianoliver: it's not an odd custom kernel or anything, is it? [20:21] Drknezz, i have whatever came with the system upon install. [20:21] ikonia: i mean, why is it that an fsck each time will allow me through to a normal boot? [20:22] h00k: no, not at all. [20:22] CppIsWeird: Hmmm... [20:22] can any one help me ? i got some problem [20:22] julianoliver: more so when it's clean before fsck anyway [20:22] CppIsWeird: try visiting the official webpage and download DEBs from there [20:22] Kyle__, not sure I understand. would I just add th ename of the bin/bash file to the end (but before the exit 0) of rc.local? [20:22] Cannot run gyvoice due to the following missing files: [20:22] tsd32.dll [20:22] tssoft.acm [20:22] Kyle__, I thought rc.local was a folder, and I'd just throw the script in. I didnt realize it was a text file. [20:22] ikonia: in fact i just proved that correlation wrong. i booted normally in rescue-mode after fsck and no clean. [20:22] bihari: those are windows files [20:23] julianoliver: it's not clean ? [20:23] bihari: also, use !pastebin for pasting multiple files. [20:23] lines8 [20:23] so how to short out this problem [20:23] Roasted: Yes. You'd add it before the exit. Technically rc.local _is_ a bash script, so you'd put your code in there, or call it from there, like you would in any other bash script. [20:23] bihari: what are you trying to run ? [20:23] ikonia: i don't know. 'clean' in the Ubuntu rescue-mode ncurses UI relates to freeing up disk space, which i assume == apt-get clean. [20:23] Kyle__, gotcha. good deal. [20:24] gaychi [20:24] drew212, you still out there? [20:24] julianoliver: drop into a rescure shell, rather than ncurses [20:24] I have a LONG question -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UHghpZQs [20:24] gaychi is yahoo clint which support voice chat [20:24] julianoliver: first thing, fsck it see what it reports [20:24] Phun5tar: maybe you had ticked the option to remember your open application on log out.. if thats the case, those open application will reopen automatically on startup.. to disable it, go to System > Startup Application, go to Option tab and untick the option.. [20:24] bihari: use the linux version rather than the windows version [20:24] Roasted: yeah, i've backed up my folder, i'm short on time so i'll have to look at the scripting later [20:24] ikonia: i have tried that. just 0.1% discontiguity. [20:24] Phun5tar: sorry if i'm not helping enough :) [20:24] * julianoliver does it again. [20:24] julianoliver: while I don't doubt you, that "can't" be right [20:25] Roasted: currently i can just run it every now and then, which will be fine [20:25] yes gaychi is linux version [20:25] Hi! [20:25] Can I suggest adding https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys to ubottu under !rsa [20:25] bihari: then why is it asking for windows files [20:25] ikonia: let me try one more time to be sure [20:25] julianoliver: I'm not doubting you at all, I'm just saying it doesn't make sense, it should be dirty [20:25] i dont kniow [20:25] know [20:25] Hello. Wubi does not show "Install Inside Windows" button at all on any of my machines (Tested Win7 and XP). Googled around to no avail. The middle button and its related description simply does not appear in the application. [20:25] http://ader008.titandsl.co.uk/thorn/wubinowubi.jpg vs http://www.linoob.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wubi-1.PNG [20:25] drew212, good deal, and good luck. I gotta get back to some wiring here. If you want to pursue the scripting idea further like I have it set up, PM me @ "Roasted" on UbuntuForums.org. Otherwise if you just have GUI app questions about it, I might not be the best person to ask, but I'm sure others in here would know more about that area. :) [20:26] Drknezz, the official site does not have a deb. [20:26] p1l0t: in a /query to ubottu, you can suggest factoid changes with !rsa is [20:26] ikonia: hmm when i simply 'fsck /dev/sda1' it reports it clean. [20:26] CppIsWeird: Youll have to compile it yourself then, they must have a compilation page around there [20:26] i can access the chat rooms but when i on the voice chat it give me following missing files [20:26] julianoliver: ok - he's a test [20:26] bihari: you [20:26] nah, that doesnt make sense. [20:26] there has to be another reason my system cant find that package. [20:26] julianoliver: boot it so it's a "problem" again, reboot into recue shell, manually mount the disk without an fsck, what does it say [20:26] bihari: you'll probably have to get support from the software maintainers for help using it, then [20:27] i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. [20:27] can i install this windows file on my ubuntu so that it will support? [20:27] CppIsWeird: make sure your repo is up to date, and you do an apt-get first to make sure all the versions are current with the repo [20:27] is there any way [20:28] ikonia: but it already mounts, it errors=remount-ro [20:28] julianoliver: yup, reboot, recovery shell, mount it rw manually, what does it say/do [20:28] h00k: thanks! [20:28] i dont know what this means "make sure all the versions are current with the repo" and my apt-get is up to date. [20:28] p1l0t: you can also implement fail2ban === tr_ is now known as Oppy [20:29] MaRk-I: What is fail2ban? [20:29] ikonia: nothing, as my original question said. alles gut/super. [20:29] julianoliver: so if you mount it manually, it just mounts fine [20:29] p1l0t: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/fail2ban [20:29] ikonia: the system is fine and ready to be used. [20:29] ikonia: yep [20:29] julianoliver: apologies if I've missed part of the conversation [20:29] bihari: maybe you could submit a bug report.. http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/bugs.shtml [20:29] ikonia: no probs [20:29] is there a "gconftool-2" command to set one specific $HOME/folder to list view in nautilus? [20:29] hi all, quick Question, i am using server 10.04, iwant to access root via WinSCP on a different PC so i can drag and drop,how do i go about this and its on same network [20:30] MaRk-I: thanks! [20:30] humm [20:30] bihari: check the instructions you need to install "tsp codecs" [20:30] MattoD: you don't it's locked [20:30] MattoD: you'd have to unlock the root account [20:30] p1l0t: yw [20:30] bihari: because, i think thats impossible for linux program to ask for windows file.. [20:30] how do i unlock it? [20:30] ikonia: it's a very odd problem indeed, not one i've had with a debian machine. i wonder if it's the new Ubuntu UID disk addressing playing up? [20:30] bihari: so, thats might be a bug.. [20:30] MattoD: just set a password on it [20:30] bihari: send me a PM [20:31] julianoliver: I strongly doubt it [20:31] right [20:31] oki [20:32] MattoD: you should not set up root password. [20:32] ohir: he has to if he wants to unlock the root account [20:32] !root | MattoD [20:32] MattoD: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:32] MattoD: you may still use scp/sftp authenticating with key [20:32] Is there an official WUBI IRC channel? [20:33] MattoD: man sshd will tell you how to set up your key [20:33] ohir: You don't need to unlock the root account to do that iirc. [20:33] okies ty [20:33] hotfloppy: that particular program does need them codecs for voice to work [20:33] ikonia: no, he does not need to do local unlock if all he needs is remote acces [20:33] ohir: agreed, it depends on what his client supports [20:34] MattoD: use clause rootlogin without-password in your sshd.conf === Thorn_ is now known as _Thorn_ [20:35] MaRk-I: oic.. i thought its a bug :P [20:35] MaRk-I: whats the codec ? is it in repo ? [20:35] hotfloppy: lol nah strange but needed for yahoo voice [20:35] MattoD: for better protection restrict key usage to your private network (ie 192.168.0.*) [20:36] it might be in win32codecs [20:36] but you can d/l them and install manually [20:36] w32codecs [20:36] BluesKaj: yes those thanks [20:37] i have the get-apt desktop installed to, i managed it on 9.04 but cant seem to on 10.04 [20:37] ohir: You shouldn't need to change anything on a default Ubuntu install. As long as the root account is locked you are fine. If you choose to setup hostkey auth for root then that will work without any changes to your sshd_config. [20:37] MattoD, sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop ? [20:37] BluesKaj: 'apt-cache search w32codecs' show me nothing.. [20:38] yes i have that installed [20:38] hotfloppy: those are from medibuntu repos [20:38] i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. [20:38] but last time i was using 9.04 with desktop and there was a unlock button but not on 10.04 [20:39] hi [20:39] MaRk-I: of course.. its windoze.. such a lame i am :( [20:39] MaRk-I: thanks :) [20:39] hotfloppy, install ubuntu-restricted-extras , and the medibuntu repos [20:39] BluesKaj: thanks :) [20:40] hotfloppy, enable the canonical partners and 3rd party sources in the package manager as well [20:41] Pici: Don't have default sshd.conf at hand. Though I bet that it has PermitRootLogin set to no. Anyway, reading man will be good though for one who asked. :) [20:42] Pici: if default sshd.conf has root login enabled it needs to be changed ;) [20:43] I have problem with "cutter" command. === charlie is now known as Guest2261 [20:43] I would like to practically test the strength of the passwords on my system. So I installed john and some word list packages. Then started john /path/to/shadow-file, but it did not work. I got: No password hashes loaded. What am I doing wrong? [20:43] ohir: not if the root account is locked [20:43] how do i unlock it? was so much easier with 9.04 server & desktop, 1 click fix [20:44] I have problem with "cutter" command. === sean is now known as Guest18457 [20:44] hey folks, anyone know how to get horizontal scrolling to work on a synapitics click pad? [20:44] repeat | NarbeH [20:44] <_Thorn_> Hello. Wubi does not show "Install Inside Windows" button at all on any of my machines (Tested Win7 and XP). Googled around to no avail. The middle button and its related description simply does not appear in the application.

[20:44] durt: system -> preferences > mouse > touchpad tab [20:45] ubottu: why dont u respond.. >:( [20:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:45] hotfloppy: aha got it [20:45] h00k, ya, seen that, doesn't do anything though... [20:45] hotfloppy: you forgot the ! [20:46] guntbert: lol.. am i stoned or what ? [20:46] durt: doesn't do anything like the checkbox won't check, or it has no effect? [20:46] Where is the alternate DVD for kubuntu? I need to install on a RAID array. [20:46] hi there. I'm trying to install 10.04 to a usb drive so I can have a persistent install. I keep seeing guides that say it should be formatted to FAT32. doesn't that mean it will have the 4 gig file size limit? [20:47] h00k, no effect, then again, I have no experience with synaptics, so I could be missing something [20:47] i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. [20:47] durt: in theory, that 'should' allow you to use the bottom strip of your touchpad for horizontal scrolling [20:47] Where is the alternate DVD for kubuntu? I need to install on a RAID array. [20:48] MattoD: It is discouraged to enable the root account, but if you are sure then set a password "sudo passwd root". [20:48] CppIsWeird: can you install xen-tools first? What are you using to install? [20:48] apt-get [20:48] anyone using google calendar with evolution and know how to set it up? been trying to follow the instructions I found googling but to no avail [20:48] CppIsWeird, do you have access to a tty ? if so then sudo aptitude install xen-tools [20:48] Hello? Can anyone help? [20:49] CppIsWeird: try 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server' [20:49] CppIsWeird: from a terminal [20:49] pgpkeys: create a new calendar and select 'google' as type [20:50] h00k, nup, it's a click pad, fairly new, the whole thing 'clicks', and where your finger is on the bottom edge determins whether it's a right or left click. So scrolling there would be difficult. Top edge scolling would be nice though. [20:50] psych787: It is at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/lucid/. Try #kubuntu in future. [20:50] Ok, how can I get execute perms on a setup.exe I`m trying to run with wine, but on a cdrom? [20:50] psych787: that would be.........in kubuntu's web [20:50] I get some error about the security aspects.. [20:50] Thanks. [20:50] Guest18457: FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. Create the USB stick and check whether the Live environment uses a loopback on the USB stick. [20:50] duffydack: Could you pastebin them? [20:50] blueskaj no candidate found for xen-tools [20:51] anyone know a way to split stereo sound file into two mono files? [20:51] what lightweight ubuntu version can I use on my old i386 computer ? [20:51] How can I get extra keys to work in ubuntu? Iv tried going to system > preferences > keyboard > layouts and selecting different model key boards but I'v had no success. My keyboard is a logitech pro 2000 wireless usb. Im specifically trying to get extra equal sign, open and close paranthese above my numpad to work. [20:51] io, all it is, is I cant chmod +x a file on a cd..obviously.. must be a way around it. its a gui dialog btw [20:52] ikonia: the thread that relates to my problem is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=621079 [20:52] duffydack: perhaps...um, copy the files off the CD and then run them, ionno [20:52] sandking: you could use audacity [20:52] kangu, fluxbuntu [20:52] julianoliver: looking [20:52] POC|Farmer: thx [20:52] io, http://pastebin.org/384692 [20:52] kangu, its the lightest weight you can get.. [20:52] sandking: I've done that in windows using Adobe audition. I bet you can do it in audacity too. Just save each channel independently to different files... [20:52] w32codecs is replaced by ubuntu-restricted-extras correct? [20:53] i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. [20:53] Does this channel cover Linux Mint or do I have to find a Mint channel? [20:53] kangu, but a i386? not too many current GUI-based distros would be suitable.. puppy linux MAYBE! or Deli Linux [20:53] mek8630: This covers the Ubuntu distribution only. [20:53] !mintsupport | mek8630 [20:53] mek8630: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:53] duffydack: what h00k said.... [20:54] Loshki, h00k yeah I`ll try, and hope it doesnt look for a 'cd' [20:54] CppIsWeird, no need to repeat your question , try xen-utils [20:54] sean-laptop, thanks I'm gonna give it a try :) [20:54] duffydack: if all else fails, copy it, change the permissions, then reburn to a new cd... [20:54] How can I get extra keys to work in ubuntu? Iv tried going to system > preferences > keyboard > layouts and selecting different model key boards but I'v had no success. [20:54] kangu, i want to know the ram specs on your 386 [20:55] Loshki, but its a cd.. its a read only device.. ? [20:55] IdleOne: No, w32codecs (and w64codecs) are currently separate, at least the ones that I have installed from the medibuntu repositories. [20:55] sean-laptop, 64m [20:55] duffydack: well try h00k's idea first. But if it needs a cd, you'll have to beg or borrow access to a cd burner... [20:56] Hey guys [20:56] Did anyone here install mediatomb form source? [20:56] does ununtu find drivers for ethernet cards, graphics cards, sound cards, ect, automaticialy? [20:56] Umm I found a solution.. the default wine launcher (cautious-launcher) doesnt work, but just telling it open with wine work [20:56] I'm tying to figure out what "libjs" is [20:56] kangu, i recommend puppy linux.. try an older one with a kernal that can support legacy hardware.. hope over to #puppylinux for more info [20:56] nevermind [20:57] kangu, hop over i mean [20:57] E_MAN: for common hardware, the answer is generally yes. But the newer the hardware, the more likely it is that is may not be supported yet. Use the live cd to check out if everything works *before* you install.. [20:58] Hello, I jsut finished installing tux racer. [20:58] Loshki, lookin at mount (/dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=dean) its got noexec, so I made an fstab line to include exec but it still wont work and mounts like that [20:58] However, when I click it from the games menu, it wont start === io is now known as steffan [20:58] No error message, no response what so ever. Would anyone know what might cause that === blazento is now known as Vagento [20:58] Hi, I have karmic with a atheros AR5001X+ configured with hostap as access-point. Clients can connect, but lose connection after about 30 sec and then re-connect and losing ... Any tips/tricks/hints? [20:59] nevermind, I have a workaround... [20:59] Proz, you may get more error output by launching tuxracer within a shell window [20:59] I'll try, thanks [20:59] duffydack: try taking out all the 'no' keywords. Did you comment out the original fstab line when you put in the new one? [20:59] Loshki, damn now the fstab line works.. [20:59] Raptors: javascript - try aptitude search libjs [21:00] How can I find out the shell command to start it Leagris. I'm not that good with Linux yet. Sorry [21:00] Is it just me or has the icon for the alarm clock applet shrunk recently? [21:00] Loshki, for future reference I just added /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660,udf user,noauto,exec 0 0 to fstab [21:00] duffydack: depends where you added it and if you commented out the old line. fstab will grab the first line that matches your device [21:01] Loshki, there was no cdrom line in my fstab, i used usb to install. [21:01] duffydack: does Setup run now? [21:01] Loshki, yup [21:01] Loshki, and after adding a cd to winesetup [21:01] How do I find out the correct name to start programs in a shell? (which is a terminal, I presume) [21:02] duffydack: best of luck with the rest, then.... [21:02] Loshki, half of the problem was the wine launcher being used, as just plain 'wine' worked. [21:02] Proz: do you have it in the menu? [21:02] I have two terminal windows open [21:02] Proz: if you have an idea of the name of the program, type a few characters and hit TAB. if it 'completes' then you have it, if not, then try another guess. eventually you just learn all the ones you wish to use. [21:02] quick Q, is it possible to add the power button to the desktop in lucid + gnome [21:03] Proz: does this answer your question? [21:03] pdk`: The default desktop in Lucid puts the power button in the top-right corner of the screen. Do you need something different? [21:04] Well, no as I can't find "extreme tux racer" - Tux - racer and extreme don't give me anything [21:04] ikonia: this ro problem is so odd i'm going for a new partition configuration and full reinstall [21:04] dajhorn i was wondering if it' d be possible to make it a desktop icon [21:04] julianoliver: I'll be interested in knowing what happens [21:04] Hmm found it. etracer. [21:04] hello everyone === root is now known as Guest21039 [21:04] hi [21:05] Proz: sometimes programmers give things whimsical names that have little to do with their true purpose... [21:05] It gives me a segmentation error. [21:05] how are you today [21:05] Proz: you can also 'apropos ' [21:05] Proz: apropos is a really handy little utility in this regard. [21:05] yahoo messenger [21:05] sometimes the name will be used only once, so they think, what they hay, why not give it a random name? [21:05] Found it though, julianoliver and it gave me a segmentaton error. [21:05] web chat [21:06] Hmm wow, yes, apropos is good. [21:06] Proz: right. must be something wrong with the binary. that's a programmer's fault in most cases. [21:06] munis: do you have a question? [21:06] hi does anyone know if i can use my bluetooth head set for my phone as a mic for the pc? i have the bluetooth adapter will this work for voice recording for screencasts or even skype and voip in empathy? [21:06] anyways, i need some help navigating irc [21:06] Guest21039: don't do irc as root, don't do *any* regular work as root [21:06] Oke, thanks JulianoLiver, I was looking for something to see if my graphic card drivers were installed properly. Could you recommend me something else to test it with? [21:06] hi everybody [21:06] im trying to find a section that can help me with gcc c++ assembly linkage and AT&T instruction sets... google has been rather useless for the information im seeking [21:07] pdk`: Put a link to /sbin/poweroff onto the desktop. [21:07] is this the right place to ask some questions regarding wireless-accesspoint problems? [21:07] hm does that go straight to shutdown or does it pop up the menu [21:07] Proz: if OpenGL acceleration is what you want to test, then 'glxinfo | grep direct' [21:07] Guest21039: that's pretty specialized. What are you trying to do? Compile something? [21:07] Proz: if the line returned contains "yes" you're in business. [21:07] hi [21:08] Guest21039: try to ask in ##c++ [21:08] It contains a "need packet 'mesa-utils'" [21:08] which I'll get first. [21:08] pdk`: This command works for me as a regular user: ln -s /sbin/poweroff "$HOME/Desktop/" [21:08] hi === Ex-Opesa is now known as Ex-Opesa-afk [21:08] derjoerg: if you are having the problems in ubuntu - yes [21:08] im simply tryingn to understand the assembly side of programming... for optimization of mathematical calculations i will impliment with my applications [21:08] yep :) === tripplite is now known as tripplite_ [21:09] when I try to connect to a wifi network, it stays in the "connecting" state forever [21:09] and I don't get internect access therefore [21:09] ill go check ##C++ [21:09] Guest21039: this isn't a good group for that kind of topic. I agree with guntbert, try ##c++ [21:09] Hi all. Does anyone know if it is possible to load two grubs? I'd like to keep grub2 on my ubuntu install, and then from it be able to go to grub vanilla with my arch install. Is this possible? if so, how? [21:09] I have an accesspoint running within karmic, but the connections from the clients are flapping [21:09] Guest21039: see also ##asm === tripplite_ is now known as tripplite [21:10] ikonia: no, it still fails. [21:10] with a "hardware" accesspoint (e.g. dlink) the clients can connect [21:10] capletonX: You could install the second instance of Grub to a partition, and then chainload +1 it from the first instance. [21:10] so I think it is a problem within ubuntu [21:10] julianoliver: I just can't think of anything that would cause that, beyond the disk being marked as dirty [21:11] capletonX: I've never done it myself, but I believe you can 'chainload' from one grub to another. It's how grub boots windows. Start googling :-) [21:11] ikonia: there is no /forcefsck and even when i manually put it there, it never gets to fsck. === tripplite is now known as tripplite_ [21:11] ikonia: i simply have to manually fsck at the root prompt and all is well. [21:11] julianoliver: that's interesting [21:12] julianoliver: I wonder why /forcefsck is not causing it to check [21:12] dajhorn, and Loshki; thank you! Looking over to google now :) [21:12] capletonX: Welcome. [21:12] touch /forcefsck works for me [21:12] julianoliver: ok - here is a long shot, and I do mean long shot [21:12] ikonia: this is something of a clue, perhaps. [21:12] julianoliver: is your grub uuid the same as the one in your fstab ? === tripplite is now known as tripplite_ [21:12] julianoliver: I'm wondering if grub mounts it ro then when it parses fstab it's different so can't remount it rw [21:13] ikonia: i will check. remember earlier i thought that something fishy could be up with the uuid... [21:13] ikonia: i mean this makes /some/ sense. [21:13] (as it's a diferent partition) [21:13] julianoliver: I don't think it's uuid - more so different data [21:13] julianoliver: I's a LONG shot though [21:13] * julianoliver checks all this [21:13] Hello. Can anyone help me with a Gnome menu issue, please. [21:13] Trying to add a menu entry to a new sub-menu. [21:13] ikonia: an inspired guess, though. Nice one... [21:13] can anyone help me? [21:13] According to freedesktop.org specs sub-menus (under) Applications are defined in the file /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu [21:14] I can't seem to figure out how to make my apps appear (system-wide) in a sub-menu defined within /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu [21:14] !ask | Agu10 [21:14] Agu10: 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. :-) [21:14] when I try to connect to a wifi network, it stays in the "connecting" state forever. Therefor, I cannot access the internet... [21:14] I already asked :S [21:15] Agu10: sometimes it takes a while till Someone Who Knows comes along. You can repeat your question every 15 minutes until that happens... [21:16] ikonia: the UUID for root= ends with "cc620", as does that in the /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:16] Loshki, ok... it's just there are too many people here :S === tripplite_ is now known as tripplite [21:17] Agu10: more people increases your chances of finding Someone Who Knows, so you can't win... [21:17] julianoliver: ok, so that's another theory gone [21:17] Loshki, no, I mean that there's too many people writing [21:17] sean-laptop, ? [21:17] julianoliver: I missed the history of your issue. Do you want to recap it? Sometimes that helps... [21:17] ikonia: i will see if the manual fsck produces a normal remaining boot on this new install. [21:17] Agu10, look into your logs to see what is happening ... [21:18] julianoliver: I'll keep thinking [21:18] Loshki: the initial question: i am trying to diagnose why my install of a lightly customised Ubuntu always boots read only. i've remounted it as rw and it works fine and ensured that /etc/fstab has entries identical to my other Ubuntu and debian installs where applicable. any ideas? [21:19] Loshki: furthermore, if i manually fsck on a rescue-mode boot, it continues to boot fine. at no point is there a /forcefsck to be seen however and if i place it there as a hack workaround, it is ignored. [21:20] julianoliver, I`m late to the discussion but doesnt sudo touch /forcefsck and a reboot work? [21:20] duffydack: no. [21:20] duffydack: it "should" [21:20] duffydack: part of the general oddness. [21:20] yeah, weird [21:21] julianoliver: I assume you've already covered the fact that if an fsck fails on the root partition during boot, the system leaves it mounted ro. Did any of your customisations touch the boot scripts? Which OS, btw? === tripplite is now known as tripplite_ [21:21] any funky fstab entries? [21:21] Loshki: Ubuntu 9.04 [21:21] duffydack: no, all stock after install [21:21] julianoliver, what filesystem [21:21] Loshki: i didn't touch anything in init, as far as i recall. [21:21] duffydack: ext3 === tripplite_ is now known as tripplite [21:22] julianoliver, silly question maybe, install 10.04? [21:22] duffydack: i don't want to. this is a custom install designed to host some software i'm running for a museum. [21:23] printer was working but now it isn't listed on my admin >> printing window. lsusb confirms that it is attached. what next? [21:24] julianoliver, and your fstab line includes the 0 1 etc at the end of each line? [21:24] julianoliver: does 9.04 still have /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh ? === Eismann_ is now known as Eismann [21:24] hello [21:24] Loshki: i'll check after this next boot. good call.. [21:24] duffydack: yes [21:25] * duffydack looks at checkroot, never heard of it. [21:25] hi folks, I have a fresh installation of 10.4 and no longer have a terminal beep, i.e. when autocomplete fails to find a unique match or when I get an email in Tbird. [21:25] Meh.. doesnt exist in lucid [21:25] cryptide: check if cupsd is running [21:26] ive got a problem getting the wireless to work on my compaq mini 110c with ubuntu 10.04 LTS [21:26] harfooz: I think they added the pc speaker kernel module to the blacklist in 10.04 (or possible earlier) [21:26] Loshki: yes it does [21:26] harfooz: I assume you want the beep back? [21:26] Slart: yes [21:26] julianoliver: is there anything interesting in FSCK_LOGFILE (/var/log/fsck/checkroot in my 8.04) [21:27] thune3: cupsd: Child exited on signal 15! [21:27] I would like to practically test the strength of the passwords on my system. So I installed john and some word list packages. Then started john /path/to/shadow-file, but it did not work. I got: No password hashes loaded. What am I doing wrong? I have unshadowed the file. [21:27] Loshki: logs can't be written due to the ro status of the fs [21:27] harfooz: I would assume you would have to pop some code in to the blacklist files [21:27] harfooz: run this "EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" it will get you a text editor with the blacklist loaded.. look near the end [21:27] when I try to connect to a wifi network, it stays in the "connecting" state forever. Therefor, I cannot access the internet... [21:27] harfooz: there should be a line "blacklist pcspkr" with a comment above it explaining that it's noisy and whatnot [21:27] Hi. When I start my computer up, I see the plymouth screen, and then the default purple background with my mouse cursor, and I can move my mouse cursor for a split second, then completely unresponsive. [21:28] Any advice? [21:28] MichealH and Slart: thanks for the lead -- I'll look into it right away. Many thanks y'all! [21:28] ive got a problem getting the wireless to work on my compaq mini 110c with ubuntu 10.04 LTS [21:28] harfooz: No proble I like to help[ [21:28] harfooz: just add a # at the start of that line, save the file, reboot and it should work again [21:28] kangu, go to channel #puppylinux. they may be able to recommend a puppy variant to tryu on your i386 [21:28] piglet12: Is your wirless card supported? [21:28] should be [21:28] Anyone? [21:28] piglet12: Drivers? [21:29] according to the wiki it should work out of the box [21:29] root__: advice on a different matter: don't do irc as root, don't do *any* regular work as root [21:29] Hmmmm.... [21:29] guntbert: I am not. I am in recovery console. [21:29] i read something about changing the drivers from broadcom to sti or something like that [21:29] how do i do that [21:29] Does it see the card? [21:30] root__: ah, that explains it - sorry to bother you [21:30] julianoliver: ah, right. How about setting VERBOSE to 1 and adding some extra echo lines to see what the fsck status is, or if it's even getting that far in the script? By now, you must be considering just doing a reinstall! [21:30] Loshki: i'm on my third now.. [21:30] MichealH where should it be shown? [21:30] Anyone? I can't start my computer up. [21:30] Maybe try ifconfig [21:30] is there anyone who knows a way to play justin.tv or any other flash player streams without a web browser [21:30] ikonia: Loshki: with Ubuntu, is there any difference installing at boot or from the desktop (using 'ubiquity' or whatever), from the filesystem perspective? [21:31] youtube has minitube but i cant seem to find anything for justin.tv [21:31] julianoliver: the problem recurs after a reinstall? Even before you add the customisations? [21:31] piglet12: See my last message. Sorry forgot to tag :( [21:31] Loshki: i'm installing from a Live CD i've made. [21:31] julianoliver: not that I can think of [21:31] ok [21:31] MichealH where do i c ifconfig? im kinda new with this:P [21:31] Could someone please help me start my computer up? [21:32] Terminal: Applications > Accesories > Terminal and then pastebin the results :) [21:32] cryptide: pm ok? [21:32] I will be away [21:32] MichealH i typed it in a terminal and it only shows eth0 [21:32] julianoliver: I agree with ikonia. No differences I can think of... [21:32] MichealH and local loopbackthingie [21:32] piglet12: Hmmmm. are you connected to etehrnet [21:32] MichealH yes [21:32] Ok hmmmm... [21:33] MichealH how do i change the drivers? [21:33] Have you got the wifi light on (I do that sometimes) [21:33] MichealH yes its blue [21:33] Xorg freezes a split second after it starts. Please help. [21:33] Hmmm...... [21:33] julianoliver: any idea what happens if you install a completely standard 9.04 then add your customisations by hand? If that works, would you consider a two cd installation process? [21:34] Im going to have to think this through... [21:34] MichealH take ur time : ) [21:34] piglet12: I am in a etting so I will try to :) [21:34] *meeting [21:34] Loshki: yes, i simply don't have time. i have just 12 hours left and much more to do before i travel. [21:34] anyone able to help with ndiswrapper invalid device errors [21:35] julianoliver: I understand. That's why a 2 step install might be the better form of valor... [21:35] Loshki: but you're right. if i had time i'd install and customise by hand all over again, quite an aesthetic overall, among software compilation-fu! [21:36] Man I still cant find libjs [21:36] This is pissing me off [21:36] I installed like every libjs package in the repo and it still says missing === mue_ is now known as mue [21:37] julianoliver: sorry not to be more help. Truth is, the ubuntu boot-time stuff is kind of a mess... === wildbat is now known as Wildbat|GER_GOAL [21:37] Loshki: right. i'm a long time Debian user but feel somewhat lost in this case! [21:37] I have somehow disabled my key within gnome (in virtual console it is fine), xev shows the pressed key but in an unexpected way no KeypressEvent/KeyreleaseEvent http://paste.ubuntu.com/459975/ -- any ideas where to look? [21:38] hello [21:38] i would like to know what ports are listening on my pc please, as i think someone is running an ircd without my permission [21:38] hi anybody knows what to do in lucid to allow remote connections to mysql ? [21:39] julianoliver: best I can think of right now is to add some echo statements to checkroot.sh and see if that makes a penny drop... [21:39] samuels_: sudo netstat -tupa [21:39] sean-laptop, thanks it's very appreciated! [21:39] anyone here still running 9.10? === SlidingHorn_out is now known as slidinghorn [21:39] flodine: I do [21:39] Loshki: indeed. it's just that dmesg's scrollback is cut due to no 'w'. [21:39] !anyone | flodine [21:39] flodine: 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? [21:39] guntbert, Take a look at system preferences keyboard shortcuts and see if you somehow deleted the short cut.. [21:40] julianoliver: hmm, if you can get it to boot verbosely, you should be able to see the output in real time during boot... [21:40] Loshki: this machine is absurdly fast.. no chance sadly! [21:40] gregl: is no shortcut - or is it? [21:40] MichealH i think i solved it by myself [21:41] julianoliver: so what's your next move? [21:41] hi there, would someone lend me a nasty piece of software to get rid of a flatmate's comp? [21:41] guntbert, I think all keyboard assignments are short cuts..Like vol up down etc.. [21:41] You know your connection speed is slow if you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and update takes so long sudo asks for your password for upgrade again [21:41] Does anyone know how to solve problems? [21:42] Loshki: i'm thinking about using traditional addressing in place of UUID and then when that most probably acheives nothing, just going for a manual install and customisation from scratch, ie staying up all night.

[21:43] guntbert, np [21:43] mar: just talk to your roommate and try for a diplomatic solution... [21:43] this program crond is listening when i did sudo netstat -tupa, i would like to know what ports is this program listening on [21:43] how do i do that please [21:43] root__, please ask your question (*in detail*, on one line, and wait for an answer. for multiple lines, please us http://paste.ubuntu.com. If you don't get an answer right away, you can check out http://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org [21:43] Raptors: sudo dpkg -L libjs [21:44] slidinghorn: When I do that people don't answer. [21:44] Raptors: try aptitude search libjs -- tells you a bunch of packages [21:44] is there a way i can load ati drivers for my laptop on 10.04 [21:44] And I need an answer. [21:44] Loshki: yeah, right, thanks for the diplomatic advice ^^u [21:44] I think I found it. [21:44] Stupid ubuntu and horrible naming [21:44] its libmozjs-dev [21:44] root__, well it's a channel of volunteers, and sometimes answers aren't available right away. Try to be patient :) in the meantime, you need to give more detail than "my computer won't start" [21:45] Raptors: for what it's worth, it's no differe [21:45] slidinghorn: I've been giving this information over and over. [21:45] root__: uhh more detail? [21:45] Sure thing! [21:45] Raptors: for what it's worth, it's no different on other OS's. [21:45] piglet12: So... Your wireless... [21:45] When Xorg starts, I can move my mouse for a split second; then nothing responds. [21:45] I've just downloaded kubuntu 10.04 to try the live-cd, but when pressing F4 to list boot modes, I can only see "Normal", "Use driver update disc" and "OEM install (for manufacturers)". I don't see the option to start in safe graphic mode. Is this option somewhere else? [21:45] MichealH its np now im so awesome that it just worked from rebooting it 3 times in a row [21:45] root__, have you checked for relevant entries in dmesg? [21:46] piglet12: \o/ [21:46] slidinghorn: I can't because my computer won't do anything afterwards and dmesg is cleared on reboot. [21:46] root__: so X dies after spawn immediatly [21:46] Does not die. [21:46] Freezes. [21:46] could some one please tell me how do i find out what ports is this proces *crond* listening on [21:46] root__, what about in recovery mode? [21:46] slidinghorn: That's what I'm in right now. [21:47] slidinghorn: But I do netroot. [21:47] root__: have you tried purging all configs and starting again? [21:47] aeon-ltd: What, now? [21:47] aeon-ltd, slidinghorn: Give pause; I'll conjure my laptop. [21:47] root__: basically a full uninstall, clean install of xorg and all its depenedancies [21:48] i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. [21:49] Slart, FYI i found out what it was, it was my RTL8187B, not a good card at all [21:49] aeon-ltd, slidinghorn: Hello. [21:49] HydroUK: ah.. good catch [21:49] i found in windows it doesnt go full rate either [21:49] CppIsWeird: did you remove xen-tools earlier? [21:49] how do I edit teh PLACES menu in Gnome? [21:49] MindVirus: uhh, hi? [21:49] * HydroUK gone back to cat5! [21:49] I want to delete an item from it, but it refuses to do it [21:49] aeon-ltd: This is me on my laptop, obviously. [21:49] MindVirus, , what version of ubuntu is the machine running? is this a recent install? [21:49] thought i would report back so ya know ;P [21:49] MindVirus: oh hi root__ [21:50] slidinghorn: 10.04. Definitely not recent; it's been upgraded since like 7.04. [21:50] slidinghorn: Furthermore, it has worked on 10.04 for a while. [21:50] Any suggestions? [21:50] MindVirus, do you remember the last thing you did before the behavior started? [21:50] hi...does anyone here know to program in POSIX C? Have a school project and i'm really stuck on a hitch....just want to create a c.file that creates a father and son process, and the father signals the son every 5 sec and the son answers back...would really appreciate a code snippet..:D [21:50] No. [21:50] MindVirus: what the hardware spec like? [21:51] aeon-ltd: Memory? CPU? [21:51] 2GB TCCD chips, Opteron 165 1.8GHz. [21:51] samuels_: you could try: sudo lsof -i4tcp -p [21:51] Loshki: i shall try thank you [21:52] MindVirus: so relatively modern machine [21:52] Yes. [21:53] MindVirus: when x freezes can you can back to a vt or does the keyboard and mouse freeze up aswell? [21:53] *can you go [21:53] aeon-ltd: Mouse freezes up; will try VT. [21:53] hi, what sections in control file for launchpad ppa? [21:53] hi everybody [21:54] zeal__: I didn't understand your question [21:54] aeon-ltd: Most likely won't work. [21:55] MindVirus: why not? ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing? [21:55] i want upload my project in launchpad ppa [21:55] aeon-ltd: Nope.

[21:57] yes [21:57] * samuels_ thanks for help guys. [21:57] MindVirus: does this machine have any data you want, cos this feels like a need for a 10.04 reinstall [21:58] aeon-ltd: Forget it. [21:58] but i can't find anything about sections [21:58] MindVirus: miracle, problem solved? [21:58] aeon-ltd: Some certain fixable thing is wrong. [21:58] aeon-ltd: No. [21:58] So I'm trying to install ubuntu on an older laptop, and after I start the install (or the live cd too) it'll display the ubuntu screen then a black screen that seems to indicate it's loading something. [21:58] is that normal? [21:58] zeal__: cannot help - sorry [21:58] Just not reinstalling. [21:58] MindVirus, I'm looking for a way to have you remove the pulseaudio daemon from startup -- please hold ;) [21:59] slidinghorn: I can just uninstall it. [21:59] Zuruzuru: how old? [21:59] slidinghorn: That's the only way AFAIK. [21:59] aeon-ltd, 5 years maybe? [22:00] Zuruzuru: spec? === Claudinux is now known as Guest13897 [22:00] Oh, from startup. [22:00] hahah [22:00] aeon-ltd, http://archive.laptopmag.com/Review/HP-Pavilion-ze4900.htm?Page=0 [22:00] I'm installiing the 32 bit, and I've tried both a cd and a usb installer [22:01] MindVirus, try this (removes pulse & replaces it with ESD) -- may or may not solve the issue, but it's a starting point...you may not want to install ESD right away just to see if pulse was the issue in the 1st place: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html [22:01] darmok and jalad at tanagra [22:01] slidinghorn: Really don't want to use ESD. [22:01] Rather use ALSA. [22:01] I have a logitech usb headset with a volume control on it. When I use it, I see the volume slider popup and move up or down, but it has no effect on the volume coming through the headset. [22:01] MindVirus, also a possibility [22:02] yes weekend [22:04] slidinghorn: Basically just uninstalled pulseaudio. [22:04] !ot > alteregoa [22:04] alteregoa, please see my private message [22:04] MindVirus, crossing my fingers for you, lol === steffan is now known as io [22:04] Keep 'em twisted. [22:05] Yeah, that solved the problem. [22:05] Pulseaudio sucks. [22:05] I bet it's got something to do with configuration. [22:05] Pulse has been acting up anyways. [22:05] MindVirus, Great! well take a look at some different audio applications and find one that works for you...I think ubottu has a factoid for that...hold on [22:05] What a piece of crap. [22:05] !audio > MindVirus [22:05] MindVirus, please see my private message [22:06] slidinghorn: I can figure that on my own. [22:06] Got a brand new 10.04 system. One question: How do I set a root password? [22:06] But thanks for helping restore my system! [22:06] !root | heathen [22:06] guntbert: Section: misc [22:06] heathen: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:06] heathen: Not a good idea. [22:06] guntbert: work with it [22:07] MindVirus, glad I could help :) [22:07] But I can't do anything. It keeps asking to "Authenticate" How do I do that? [22:07] Hi, I can not change the password in jaunty.. i need the console parameters... [22:07] zeal__: I don't need any software right now :-) [22:07] !sudo | heathen [22:07] heathen: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [22:08] ikonia: Loshki: i think i confused myself earlier - i can only resume a boot if i choose fsck from from the ncurses menu of the recovery UI. if i fsck -y -f /dev/sda1 i cannot resume a normal boot, the fs is still ro. is this perhaps a clue? [22:08] something beyond strange is happening.... i keep deleting a folder, 'blue' from the .trash-1000 folder, and it deletes, and comes back as blue.2 [22:08] kthx [22:08] then if i try again, blue 2.2 [22:08] and etc [22:08] julianoliver: what happens if you do fsck -n /dev/sda1 then try to boot [22:08] heathen: did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo ? [22:08] julianoliver: that will provide us with a good clue [22:08] not yet, goin in... [22:08] ikonia: ok, i'll try this next. [22:08] Zuruzuru: sorry it took so long to reply, no it shouldn't happen on a machine like this, what are you usingg to install? [22:09] I can not change the password in jaunty.. [22:09] aeon-ltd, I've tried both ubuntu and xubuntu, I can't get past this black screen though. I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem, but it's starting to look like it [22:10] ikonia: it just says /dev/sda1: clean, (etc) [22:10] ikonia: now attempting a resumed boot. [22:10] ikonia: still ro [22:10] julianoliver: thats good news [22:10] julianoliver: the problem is %100 the disk is being marked as dirty [22:10] ikonia: ahah.. [22:10] * heathen can't scroll back on this thing :( [22:10] Zuruzuru: are these freshly burnt cds on new cds? [22:11] julianoliver: something is corrupting the disk's file system integrity [22:11] julianoliver: Well, the script has to check the status of fsck since it can only allow write access if the fsck says the filesystem is ok, so that's why I presume only the ncurses option works. What I don't understand is why the filesystem doesn't seem to stay clean if you've booted successfully once... [22:11] julianoliver: any clues based on what your system does ?# [22:11] aeon-ltd, brand new ones. ANd I've tried using a usb key too [22:11] ikonia: interesting. what are my options? [22:11] heathen, do you need the links again? [22:11] Zuruzuru: then its definitely hardware related [22:11] ikonia: i can't see any. i have no scrollback as dmesg is truncated. [22:11] aeon-ltd, That's what I thought, thanks for the help. [22:12] Zuruzuru: what part if the install happens before the black screen [22:12] Loshki: yes, i don't know why it doesn't stay clean either.. [22:12] *if-->of [22:12] julianoliver, try dmesg | less [22:12] dz [22:12] julianoliver: I'm wondering if here is an application doing it, if the box is not shutting down properly (power off before clean up on the disk) [22:12] aeon-ltd, I get the ubuntu screen after I click "Install on harddrive" and then it goes black after that. [22:12] julianoliver: have a look at the parameters set with tune2fs [22:12] ikonia: ok, interesting.. [22:13] slidinghorn: of course, dmesg stdout is in RAM.. cheers [22:13] hi guys , i am having an issue. am running 9.10 on an HP mini 10" when i login to my work terminal server(Windows) the screen is cut in half were i don't see the " start" button please help me [22:13] if i walk away from my newly installed ubuntu 10.04 computer, it needs a password to let me back in .. how can i make that interval longer or not have it do that? [22:13] aeon-ltd, to be more specific it's the ubuntu splash screen [22:13] Zuruzuru: whats currently on the hdd? [22:13] i need the parameters to change the password in jaunty [22:13] julianoliver: bad disk hardware? Corrupted boot script? Hard to see what else might do it.... [22:13] aeon-ltd, windows xp [22:13] Zuruzuru: so you never erach the live enviro? [22:14] aeon-ltd, nope. [22:14] Zuruzuru: does xp boot fine? [22:14] hi guys , i am having an issue. am running 9.10 on an HP mini 10" when i login to my work terminal server(Windows) the screen is cut in half were i don't see the " start" button please help me [22:14] aeon-ltd, yeah, boots fine. [22:14] Zuruzuru: any problems in xp? [22:15] aeon-ltd, none. [22:15] when I try to connect to a WIFI network, it stays in the "connecting" state, and I can't access the internet. However, creating ad-hoc wifi networks works just fine. [22:15] any ideas? === robh is now known as Guest2052 [22:15] chalcedny: check power-management and screensaver preferences in system->prefs [22:16] Zuruzuru: damn, not sure if its worthwhile but ubuntu loads part of itself onto the ram when going live, a memory test might be able to tell you more but since there are no problems in xp it sounds unlikely [22:16] aeon-ltd, takes, I'll run a memory test then [22:16] thune3 thanks :) [22:17] Zuruzuru: hope it helps, gtg i'll be bach [22:17] ikonia: i will try a full fsck using the recovery UI then a proper shutdown, poweroff and reboot. [22:18] s/reboot/boot/ [22:18] I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions? [22:19] julianoliver: worth a try. Also, if the live cd has smartctl, take a quick look at the disk health... [22:19] nice idea [22:19] anyone know how to get rt3070 chipset to do injection (usb wlan stick)? [22:19] Loshki: yes, good idea. [22:19] if the disk is failing it could be messing up the file system [22:19] Loshki: it was burnt at a whopping 9x [22:19] julianoliver: the hard disk health :-) === Guest2052 is now known as robher [22:20] ikonia: ahh right. i thought you meant fs corruption carried over from a poor live CD somehow. [22:20] ikonia: oops, intended for Loshki [22:21] I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions? [22:21] Loshki: right. it's a brand new 250Gb SeaGate. i will check it regardless. [22:22] julianoliver: a bad live CD burn *is* a possibility, but it usually doesn't have such subtle effects. Most often, a bad burn results in a non-bootable CD. A bad brand new hard drive is also not unheard of, and we are scraping the barrel a bit now... [22:22] Loshki: hehe indeed. [22:22] Loshki: I've seen file systems get corrupted on hard disk spin up due to dodgy voltage [22:23] interesting.. [22:23] the possabilities are pretty open [22:23] julianoliver: ikonia: sometimes, I'm amazed that *anything* works.... [22:25] I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions?

[22:38] slidinghorn, please help :) [22:38] Im installing 10.04 from a CD, first of all i get a small error saying the installation program encountered an error and will initiate a desktop session, in which i am currently, then I install it from here, everything goes normal but when it goes to reboot and ejects the CD, i get a screen full of I/O Errors, anyone know what is going on? [22:38] itexus, hmm...not sure what's causing the issue :-\ I'm going to send you one more factoid about USB installs and if that's not helpful, I don't know where else to point you...

I'm thinking that it's a problem with the actual build. Nothing we can do. Thanks again! [22:39] Hi [22:39] Loshki: ikonia the disk passed the smartctl test, so i'm assuming it's just in init or the tendrilous boot scripts themselves. i will take a stock 9.04 and start again i think. thanks for your help! [22:39] if i install xen-tools from source will the ubuntu-xen-server package see this and install? [22:39] tim_ if you'd like i can try to take a look at the config file...you can pastebin it, just make sure that you take your passwords out of it before posting [22:40] slidinghorn, ok thanks. i think i already read those pages. But to me the problem with the installation it seems like ubuntu server is designed to only be installed with CD, atleast in my version (10.4). Also it fails to detect any disks. [22:40] man this channel fills up with too much info [22:40] itexus, is your bios set to boot from USB? [22:40] slidinghorn, I can't even find the config file. It's not in my home or in /usr/share. I can't even find anything in gconf-editor [22:40] tim do a find / for it [22:40] slidinghorn, ofcourse i am in the setup ^^ there is no OS on the machine [22:40] tim_, what about in ~/.config/smuxi/smuxi-engine.ini [22:41] hi [22:41] oh wow [22:41] we got an ipv6 guy [22:41] deos someone know a repository with teamspeak3 pkgs?

If pulseaudio is installed, when GDM starts up, my computer freezes and I can't go to a VT. If pulseaudio is uninstalled, everything works properly except sound. [22:44] slidinghorn, one more question. The iso file says amd64, but my cpu is intel64. Can it work anyway? [22:44] slidinghorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459995/ thanks so much. [22:44] itexus, the 64-bit should work with just about any 64-bit arch [22:44] not true [22:44] Ok, as i thought. thanks. [22:44] i doubt it will work with IA64 [22:44] tim_, no guarantees, as I have no experience with that program, but I'll try :) [22:44] blain, I thought it would. [22:45] blain, except for ia32libs. [22:45] slidinghorn, thanks. If we can't make progress, can I just delete that .ini file? [22:45] IA64 is not x86_64 [22:45] blain, so x86_64 hardware can't run IA64 at all?

[22:52] hi to all new to this o/s [22:54] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 Edition, which I just installed last night on my Gateway M-7351U laptop. The machine is running on an Intel Core 2 Duo T4200 processor with 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 (Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset Family) graphics card. I am using Orca magnification software. But my graphics are horrible. I read online that there may be some settings in xorg.conf that can be changed to resolve this but I [22:54] mark__: Some things that might help you would be the manual, and you can /join #ubuntu-beginners [22:54] !manual | mark__ [22:54] mark__: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[22:55] does anyone know of a good way to make a ruby script an executable? [22:56] wrinkliez, don't know if it would work for a ruby script but works for other things: chmod +x scriptfile [22:57] thanks [22:57] bladescape: you got cut off after "resolve this but I" [22:57] hi, doesnt anyone can help me with my ubuntu question?! :D [22:58] !ask | Puffcio [22:58] Puffcio: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:58] what was the question? [22:58] no thats making the .rb executable. like for example, there are programs that are .py's (programmed in python), but you would need to install the entire python programming language to install it. thats why they create an executable. i want to do THAT with ruby. [22:58] I just discovered that my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is blank. Is it supposed to be like that or if not how can I get it fixed? [22:58] ive installed ubuntu via wubi on windows 7 on partition "D" [22:58] i can see my windows partition [22:58] bladescape, by default in 10.04 it is blank..you can edit it however you need to though [22:59] but not the partition "D" [22:59] Puffcio: yeah Ubuntu won't boot? [22:59] where i has most of the stuff [22:59] Can I install Ubuntu 10.04 onto an SSD without problems? [22:59] i have got to hard drive on [22:59] bladescape: In recent Ubuntu versions this is on purpose [22:59] no no its running grat, i love it :D [22:59] bladescape: What exactly "looks horrible"? [22:59] delaman, sure [22:59] wrinkliez: perhaps http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/ if you mean like py2exe which just embeds the interpreter in an executable and runs the script [22:59] Puffcio, for future reference, try to keep questions/responses to one line (don't use the Enter key as punctuation) [22:59] Puffcio: its in the file system of wubi and then /hosts I think to access Windows partition read only [23:00] hey... anyone here good with grub? [23:00] is there a canonical PPA to grab python 2.7 from? [23:00] Puffcio: also in the long run much better to use a partitoned install, plus by doing so you can easilly access the data using the Live CD, can't do that with Wubi [23:00] L33tCh, grub or grub2 [23:00] L33tCh: I make a mean breakfast burrito :D [23:00] !anyone | L33tCh [23:00] L33tCh: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[23:00] sebsebseb thank you [23:00] trism: thats what im looking for, yes, but rubyscript2exe is outdated and only works for windows nowadays [23:00] my brother had a wubi install of 10.04 that's causing probs so i guess grub2 [23:00] !dualboot | Puffcio [23:00] Puffcio: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:01] Puffcio: and setting up a seperate /home before installing is useful :) [23:01] Hi, I've added ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools to my package sources and did a dist-upgrade, yet I szill have wodim - what am I missing? [23:01] The bottom task bar thing is not displaying in the Orca magnifier, on-screen windows are not displaying properly (broken, etc.). I don't know how else to describe it as I am visually impaired which is why I am using the magnifier. All I know is that it looks horribly wrong. I read online that there are some settings I can change in xorg.conf but as I said the file is blank. [23:01] Can I install a 64-bit Ubuntu inside a VMWare which runs on a 32-bit Ubuntu host? [23:01] MysteryX: you should be able to [23:01] ive got no probs running on wubi its just ive tried to find those stuff, but now ive got it [23:01] slidinghorn, tried unetbootin, works! problem solved. thanks [23:01] itexus, glad to hear it :) no problem [23:01] MysteryX: It won't necessarily be particularly efficient though [23:01] Puffcio: right, but a proper partitioned install will run a bit better, you may not notice it though [23:02] he apparently click sleep or something other than shutdown and after some message about swap not being large enough, grub loads to a grub prompt and not the grub menu... any ideas? [23:02] PaulM: Thanx [23:02] but i wantet first to try it for couple of days, during back up my data [23:02] Puffcio: ok [23:02] Puffcio: still got your ISO by the way? [23:02] then i will just completly get rid of windows 7 [23:02] Puffcio: ok that sounds good, but do you have WIndows apps that you want to run inside Ubuntu? [23:03] ive got the disk from ubuntu website and iso file on hard drive [23:03] windows might come in handy even in a VM just in case [23:03] How can I get to the grub menu in the Lucid Live CD? For me it immediatly boots without showing the menu [23:03] blain: indeed [23:03] no, im just internet browser [23:03] nothing particular as long as i can listen to mymusic [23:03] Puffcio: is that it, no 3D Windows games or whatever, just want to use a web browser and play music? [23:03] lordquackstar, hold shift during boot -- that should bring up the grub2 menu [23:04] yes, [23:04] slidinghorn: Ok, thanks [23:04] Puffcio: ok right yeah you don't need Windows then [23:04] Oh - I also read online that all the graphics issues may be due to my graphics card/drivers but I haven't found a solution for that. [23:05] Puffcio: Really I shoudn't need to type this, because the Ubuntu website should be making it clear to people, but no, that before using an ISO it is a good idea to check it :) So before you burn contents of the ISO to a CD and install Ubuntu from it properly, after removing Wubi. [23:05] Puffcio: its a good tip. and good practice [23:06] !md5sum [23:06] 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 [23:06] use a usb drive [23:06] !hashes [23:06] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [23:06] and save media [23:06] blain: even if using the ISO with a USB drive, should check it first [23:06] apps already do that [23:06] and will download it for him [23:06] ok, problem in a nutshell... wubi 10.04 install runnign fine. then hibernate or something chosen instead of shutdown and now after choosing ubuntu form teh windows boot menu, we jsut get a grub prompt.. anyone know how I can fix that? [23:06] ive got proper ubuntu cd, ordered from their website, so i dont need to burn iso [23:07] blain: if ISO is from HTTP/FTP nothing will check it for him, if he downloaded from a torrent, he could check in the torrent program that everything was downloaded [23:07] Puffcio: or right yeah, use that [23:07] bladescape: Seems quite old, but have you read this? http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Magnification [23:07] and can anyone tell me what the lates kernel version is? this is so i can try the commands manually in grub (well, latest yesterday if it's different to today) [23:07] how do i make server download and install aptitude updates daily at 4am? [23:08] user01, with cron? [23:08] using cron [23:08] L33tCh: Ubuntu won't be using the very latest kernel version, since you don't need it. anyway uname -r to find out what kernel you are running [23:08] L33tCh kernel.org [23:08] bladescape: Though a GM45 card should be supported out of the box ... hmmm [23:08] L33tCh: Just use "ls /boot/" to see what kernels you have. [23:08] !cron > user01 [23:08] user01, please see my private message [23:08] problem is we can;t get past grub, so any bash commands... not an option :( [23:08] ah, didn't think of that... work in grub? [23:09] L33tCh: Yes, "ls /boot/" works in grub. [23:09] thanks... will get him to try that... [23:09] L33tCh: grub supports tab auto-completion (for the exact file names) [23:09] how can i rename my computer [23:09] !hostname | ridin [23:09] ridin: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [23:09] ridin hostname [23:10] vlt: thought so but when we type vmlin and hit tab, jsut moves to a new line (same text) anyway, trying to list the dir now... [23:10] user01: Have a look at pkg cron-apt [23:10] If this helps, there were no errors during Ubuntu install, and before Ubuntu I was running Windows Vista Home Premium x64 with excellent graphics. I love the Ubuntu OS except for the graphics issue. I've searched high and low around the Web for a solution to the problem but couldn't find one that worked for me so I thought I'd ask here. [23:10] vlt, ok [23:11] ok i did sudo gedit /etc/hosts and there was my hostname, do i just change the hostname [23:11] bladescape: I never used orca. Can you check the behaviour on another machine? Just to verify that it is an X server issue? [23:12] slidinghorn, so if i do a crontab of aptitude dist-upgrade it will answer the prompts? [23:12] Hey guys, newbie here, how do you check the md5sum of a cd that you have burned an .iso image of the ubuntu OS to? [23:13] ridin no, use hostname command [23:13] user01, well first, let me ask, how often are you planning on doing a dist upgrade? that should be a very rare occasion... [23:13] When I used Ubuntu on my desktop machine running NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics on an Intel Celeron 2.40GHz processor and 1 GB RAM Orca worked wonderfully and there were no graphics issues at all. Mind you this was at the end of last year and I was using Ubuntu 9.10 not 10.04 as it hadn't been released yet. [23:13] blain, according to the bot if i want it perm i have to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [23:14] !md5sum | mountainman5 [23:14] mountainman5: 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 [23:14] !hashes [23:14] yeah, rght /etc/hostname but not /etc/hosts [23:14] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [23:14] mountainman5: you can only do a md5sum with an iso [23:14] ok, boot folder is empty :( anyone know how i can get files from a wubi partition [23:14] blain, it said if it's not matched then sudo won't work [23:15] mountainman5: Two options: check the whole disk `md5sum /dev/cdrom` but there might be errors if the device has not the same size as the iso had (I experienced this with some cd writers) or use the built-in md5sum check from the boot menu [23:15] sudo vi /etc/hostname [23:15] slidinghorn, why do you say that? [23:15] well, wubi partition file i guess... [23:15] slidinghorn, aptitude dist-upgrade gets updates to the currently installed packages, including any new packages which are now required [23:15] mountainman5: ... which checks every single file -- except itself ;-) [23:15] what does vi do? [23:16] text editor [23:17] user01, dist upgrade upgrades the entire distro -- doesn't only update packages. I'd recommend cron-apt to set up regular apt-get update && apt-get upgrade...see here for the difference b/t upgrade & dist-upgrade http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/whats-the-difference-between-apt-get-upgrade-and-apt-get-dist-upgrade-165998/ [23:18] !who | bladescape [23:18] bladescape: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:18] user01, here's the package info for cron-apt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/cron-apt [23:18] bladescape: So, looks like a gm45 problem indee [23:18] s [23:18] is it possible to get to files saved in a wubi installation if you are not able to boot into said installation any more? [23:19] indeed, even [23:19] slidinghorn, it updates the most recent packages? http://www.shallowsky.com/blog/linux/debian-upgrades.html [23:19] L33tCh: Boot a live cd and mount the file system you want access to [23:20] vlt: the files were saved in the wubi file system which i assume is a file on an NTFS partition in windows... any idea how to mount that? [23:20] vlt: What about the blank xorg.conf file? There are some solutions I can try to fix the issue that require me to edit xorg.conf but if it is blank can I still use those solutions? [23:20] L33tCh: mount has an "-o loop" option [23:21] bladescape: I haven't touch an xorg.conf in years ... [23:21] *touched [23:21] similar to used when mounting an iso then? [23:21] * vlt needs to sleep [23:22] L33tCh: yes [23:22] vlt: If xorg.conf is blank is there another way to configure the X server or is there a sample xorg.conf file that I can use as a starting point for implementing the solutions I've found? [23:23] user01, it really depends on what you're trying to do...if you're just doing a routine update of the system, apt-get update is recommended -- it does dependency checking and skips upgrading if there's a conflict (which I believe cron-apt can output any errors, warnings etc so you can check if this happened) [23:23] thanks... anyway, brother's gone to sleep, so i guess can't do any more now... [23:23] bladescape: I think you can override the automatically detected values simply by editing xorg.conf, yes [23:24] bladescape: try this. « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » if it works it will create a xorg.conf in /root/ [23:25] vlt: one of the solutions I've found was to enable UXA support by adding a certain line to xorg.conf. This solution was for Ubuntu 9.04 though so I don't know if UXA has been enabled by default in 10.04. Apparently UXA provides greater performance for Intel graphics cards such as mine. Do you kmnow if UXA is enabled by default in 10.04? [23:29] hello everyone! I have a problem: I cannot watch flash videos (like Youtube videos) in Firefox. It seems it sucks up all my resources so even thought the sound is OK the images barely move! what can I do to solve this? [23:29] Lazyvee: With HTML5 [23:29] * vlt ducks [23:30] vlt: oh, so HTML5 is the culprit huh [23:30] haha [23:30] Lazyvee: this is fullscreen, or regular sized? [23:30] well, let's e-mail Youtube [23:31] regular sized [23:31] Does anyone know how compatible this computer is with Ubuntu if the most graphics I will probably be using are things like Compiz: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Compaq+-+Presario+Desktop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+II+Dual-Core+Processor/9693859.p?id=1218152062935&skuId=9693859 [23:31] I installed Ubuntu today, i'm still trying things out [23:31] useradd -g 0 -u 0 myuser [23:31] useradd: UID 0 is not unique [23:31] what can I do to fix that? [23:31] I want a secondary root user [23:31] jcompute000: What gpu does it have? [23:31] and this user must have full permissions [23:32] NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE [23:33] thune3: regular sized videos [23:33] soreau: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE [23:33] Lazyvee: did you install adobe flash player? [23:33] hey I gave up on my wifi problem, is there anyway to make your internet dl quicker [23:34] thune3: yes I installed adobe flash player [23:34] Can anyone help me with my user problem please? [23:34] how do i get chromium browser buttons on the left like everything else is? [23:34] fipu: put the user in the admin group and they can use 'sudo -i' to get a root shell anytime they need it [23:34] jcompute000: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. That card can run compiz just fine, as long as the driver is willing to cooperate [23:34] anyone know how to talk to usb devices without escallating privilages the udev rules in lucid seem to be pretty foobard [23:36] * feurig thinks that whoever keeps saying thats normal has been listing to too much glen beck. [23:36] Lazyvee: i can only think that you might have very low power cpu, or you have a graphics driver issue. (flash is normally resource hungry in linux) [23:36] anyways. I here this channel can be more useful than google sometimes. [23:37] #ubuntu-it [23:37] soreau: That is the issue that I am concerned about. I know conceptually it should run fine, but I also know that some grapics cards give certian driver problems that will cause them not to be able to do things like 3D rendering. I just got done with another computer (an older on, so I kind of expected it) that had that issue. I was just wondering if anyone knows for sure whether that will work. Also, what about a computer with [23:38] thune3: maybe it's a graphics driver issue, but I don't know how to check (I'm new to Ubuntu) [23:38] ok, i changed my hostname perma, but now my mounted devices "WALKMAN" and "New Volume" are changed into "WALKMAN_" and "New Volume_", what gives [23:38] * feurig can has typing and grammar... [23:39] erUSUL: "xorg: command not found" [23:39] jcompute000: Every graphics driver has it's own set of problems, there's no denying that. However, while nvidia is proprietary, doesn't cooperate with OSS devs and deosn't even support xrandr1.2 yet, also with the lack of general community support you get (from actual driver devs), I see radeon as a much better bet [23:39] bladescape1: Xorg ( capital X ) [23:39] Lazyvee: can you show me the 'product' and the 'driver' show when you run "lshw -C video" [23:39] jcompute000: The radeon driver is OSS, is already better than it's proprietary counterpart in most areas, supports xrandr fully and you have limitless support from real radeon driver devs in #radeon [23:40] soreau: Ok, thanks for you help. I mostly wish there was a way I could test it at the store, but I'm sure Best Buy and company would not appreciate me using an Ubuntu live CD on their floor models, lol. [23:40] When I send an email with attachments in Thunderbird and I press cancel before it completes sending (it took quite a while), is there a chance the recipient receives part of the message? [23:41] what does it mean when I can find a package via apt-cache search but when i go to apt-get install it, it says 'E: Package X has no installation candidate' [23:42] hi I found jetty installed on my system, listening on port 8080 and I never installed it [23:42] jcompute000: Dude, ask the sales guy.. I bet he might let you if there's no store policy against that kind of thing (doesnt hurt to ask ;) [23:42] thune3: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Md99iZBd === ours_en_pluche is now known as ours_en_pluche_p [23:43] Hello, for some people i saw that they have a cute small buttom panel, which shows minimized application icons only, how to do so? [23:43] soreau: Yea, thanks. I may do that. But also, I am not sure how much I can test from the live CD. Obviously, if it works right off the bat, then I am golden. But if I have to install a driver, then I don't know if the live CD will be an easy way to test that. [23:43] valentinex: you mean like cairo-dock ? [23:44] bastidrazor: yes i think something like that, will that make my pc slow? my ubuntu is already slow with my system [23:44] bastidrazor: how to get that cairo dock? [23:45] jcompute000: If it has a internet connection, just install the nvidia driver with jockey (sys>admin>hardware drivers) then when it asks you to reboot, restart gdm instead from tty [23:45] is this the chatroom to talk about games on ubuntu? [23:45] anyone have any insight on the udev changes in 10.4? all of my userland usb devices are requiring privilage escallation.. [23:45] problem clear ;) [23:46] valentinex: it will add load to your box yes, sudo apt-get install cairo-dock .. you can start it with 'cairo-dock -c' the -c option will not require it to use opengl [23:46] soreau: Although I don't have much practice, because I don't install Ubuntu on tons of different machines (I'm not rich), I think I could manage that much, though thanks for clarifying, it may have taken me longer to figure out. However, I would feel aquward standing there doing all that on a floor model, even if they say its ok. [23:46] bastidrazor: oh will add load, then i wont install :( [23:46] jcompute000: Rock out with your cock out xD [23:46] * soreau hides [23:47] valentinex: any program you run will add load. [23:47] soreau: Also, do you know if an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 would have any better or worse chance of working? [23:47] hey, I'm having problems with the deluge webui on my server [23:47] erUSUL: thanks - I didn't see the capital X. An xorg.conf file was generated successfully and now I'm editing it to employ some of the solutions I found online. [23:47] I can't get it to come up [23:47] valentinex: you can test it out. if you don't like it then just uninstall it. [23:47] Everytime i log onto linux nothing responds and i have to restart x display everytime for it to work? it wasnt doing this before [23:47] bastidrazor: ok thank you i try [23:47] jcompute000: Probably worse since the state of the intel drivers is not very good and integrated chips are just inferior === ours_en_pluche_p is now known as ours_en_pluche [23:48] soreau: Thats what I figured, although thats odd, since I am currently looking at three different computers, and the most expensive of the three (they are all under $600) is the only one that has the Intel instead of the nVidia === Sup|Away is now known as Sup|Lobby [23:49] jcompute000: Ideally, I'd recommend an r5-7xx card which means X1300-X1950 and and of the HDxxxx series [23:49] valentinex: there is also avant-window-navigator .. it may require less resources to run than cairo-dock but that is an assumption. i have not tested to verify [23:49] !guidelines > soreau [23:49] soreau, please see my private message [23:49] what's the best way to install ff 32 bit and 64 bit on a 64 bit system?

My main goal for this computer is a computer that works well enough to do a few specail things that I need compiz working for, but it will not be my main computer. As such, I don't want something too expensive, so I am trying to figure out which of the cheaper ones will work.
