[00:00] jan247: thank ActionParsnip too... he did most of the work [00:00] network bsc pays for itself huh [00:01] ActionParsnip: hehe, thanks as well [00:02] anyone know a good guide to a mailserver under ubuntu? [00:02] np bro [00:02] p1oooop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer [00:02] thanks :) [00:02] awesome [00:03] I wonder though, so that means that any service that relies on a consistent tcp connection is maxed out serving ~65k clients at a time right? [00:03] jan247: no, you can have multiple connections on the same port but the sessions will be handled by the session layer in the OSI model [00:04] ActionParsnip: I see. however, outgoing connections each uses up different ports right? [00:05] jan247: depends o the protocol, ftp does but many don't [00:05] on* [00:05] I thought intel cards were a sure fire win with ubuntu. Why am I having trouble with ubuntu wireless AGAIN? I have an intel card. fml. [00:05] ActionParsnip: ok, got it. tnx again for clearing that up [00:06] wow this room is kind of sour [00:07] !ot | QuidRagPro [00:07] QuidRagPro: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:07] Roasted: what card are you running? [00:08] Roasted: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product will tell you what chip it uses [00:08] Intel BG 2200 Pro [00:08] supposed rated as 100% working out of box. Worked fine for 5 mins, then magically wouldnt connect. [00:08] Roasted: sometimes some cards are not enabled in the kernel conf or they don't have the necessary drivers in the kernel [00:08] Going to continuously ping google and watch it and see if it drops again [00:09] hmm [00:09] it said it was connected, yet I couldnt connect to my samba sure. sure enough, samba was fine. tried to refresh the page I was on in firefox, errors out. Disconnected from wifi, tried to reconnect, wouldnt ever reconnect. [00:09] so I just rebooted, connected fine. [00:09] but like I said, pinging google's dns server continuously till it errors out [00:09] Roasted: can you ping web based names and / or IPs? [00:09] ActionParsnip, yes [00:09] Roasted: can you bring up web pages ok? [00:10] ActionParsnip, everything is perfect - for about 5 minutes. [00:10] slow internel... lol [00:10] *internet [00:10] then I just lost connection. No errors. Said connected. [00:10] I just flat out lost connection [00:10] Enlightenment 17 on Ubuntu 10.04? [00:10] Roasted: when it drops run: dmesg | tail pastebin the output please [00:11] DrGrov: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1350575 [00:11] ActionParsnip, how's he going to pastebin it with a dropped conn? [00:11] Roasted: it's in the kernel... not a kernel problem [00:11] s3r3n1t7: he can paste to a text file, reboot get conected and pastebin [00:11] ActionParsnip: well nice, I finally got a good topic to read. [00:12] DrGrov: the ppa has a lucid folder :) [00:12] ActionParsnip, if he thinks bout it ... good luck (and thanks for helpin so many ppl) [00:12] ActionParsnip: Oh it does. I never even saw that :) [00:12] still pinging away [00:12] 320 successful pings so far [00:13] hmm, I think I'll try setting up my mailserver once I get home... I didn't make a VPN [00:13] I guess this is my punishment... LOL [00:13] s3r3n1t7: np man, fun to help. I get zero issues here due to limited use and intelligent purchasing [00:13] s3r3n1t7: so it kinda teaches me the OS [00:14] I'm in for a few years... still learning :P [00:14] ActionParsnip, i know how that feels although i'm once again stuck on writing a plan for our new IT infra structure ... the fun [00:14] not the hardest thing in the world... [00:14] hey guys, I've plugged my wireless USB card into my ubuntu computer, but I cant seem to find it anywhere... where can i find hardware and if ubuntu was able to install that hardware? [00:14] can someone help me to install my mouse? microsoft wireless presenter 8000 (bluetooth) [00:14] confusing, fustrating, but ultimately pretty rewarding [00:15] ThiagoMedeiros: I'm afraid bluetooth has limited support under linux [00:15] GArReT: lsusb [00:15] almost 500 successful pings [00:15] GArReT, generally it's found and installed when you plug it in. Can you see a wireless network icon top right? [00:15] ploooop =/ [00:15] ThiagoMedeiros: what ubuntu release are you running [00:16] 10.04 [00:16] s3r3n1t7, its not actually a wireless device... it has wireless functionality, but its actually a modem that connects me to the internet [00:16] MaRk-I, do i Download that? [00:16] GArReT, lsusb is a command you can run in a !cli [00:16] GArReT: no, you type lsusb in terminal and it lists the usb devices detected [00:16] ThiagoMedeiros: I'll see if bluetooth pointing devices are supported [00:16] can anyone tell me why my cellphone is not recognized on one of my ubuntu computers and will not charge when I plug it in? anyone have any idea of what to check. [00:17] GArReT: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line to find guides [00:17] ok but if my modem is listed there? will it work? or do i need to get the drivers for it?? since i think there is only windows drivers.... [00:17] Would dd'ing one NTFS partition to another one like 'dd if=/dev/sdx1 of=/dev/sdy1' then lengthening the partition on sdy (sdx is smaller than sdy) work to create a clone of a harddrive which houses an OS? [00:17] timposey: it should charge in any usb port, regardless of OS [00:18] okay, i put ubuntu on a separate computer and it took up the whole drive... No Windows is left... I have a boot disk for it. Ive booted it up more than once now, and every time i try it tells me it needs another driver to write over ubuntu... What do I do?!? [00:18] p1oooop: ok [00:18] i'm just having a hard time connecting to the internet via my modem on ubuntu :( [00:18] ok but let me try that first [00:18] MK13: i'd ask in ##windows too === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out [00:18] ActionParsnip, it does on every other computer, and shows up as a usb type jump drive, but not on this system. [00:18] ActionParsnip: but is the idea atleast sound? [00:18] MK13: makes sense [00:19] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks [00:19] timposey: sounds like a dead port, usb has a pin for +5V which charges devices and/or gives them power, so if its not charging the port is dead assuming you use the same cable [00:20] ThiagoMedeiros: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227057&highlight=bluetooth+mouse here's a guide [00:21] okay, i put ubuntu on a separate computer and it took up the whole drive... No Windows is left... I have a boot disk for it. Ive booted it up more than once now, and every time i try it tells me it needs another driver to write over ubuntu... What do I do?!? [00:22] ActionParsnip; it was a bad cable... I was pulling my hair out with that one, because the cable works with everything else.. [00:22] taylor_: windows tells you that? [00:22] Guys, Does ubuntu have drivers for all hardware, or only most of them? [00:22] GArReT: most [00:23] hmmm so for example if i plug in a webcam... what will ubuntu tell me? [00:23] @Ploooop yeah when i boot it from the disk, but i doesnt tell me what driver... [00:23] GArReT: it wont tell you anything. either it'll just magically work when you try a webcam-using program, or it won't [00:23] timposey: weird, oh well you got the gold [00:24] GArReT: the "dmesg" command will tell you what the kernel's saying about stuff. you can see an event in there saying something was plugged in [00:24] you see my problem is that i DONT know when it is working or not working.... It's like I said, I plugged my modem into my ubuntu PC, but I dont know if he installed it and what to do next!! [00:24] taylor_: Windows won't recognize ext (the filesystem used by ubuntu). A fresh install of windows will be able to reformat the drive back to FAT/NTFS. The ubuntu live CD can also format a drive to anything you would nedd. [00:24] GArRet; It has had drivers for most everything that I have ever had to use, you can use drivers that come with some items even though they were not specifically made to work with ubuntu [00:24] ActionParsnip; thanks.. [00:25] GArReT: i think modems require wvdial to configure [00:25] @dugger5688 so i just need a ubuntu live disk to get rid of ubuntu?!? [00:25] dugger5688: www.fs-driver.org gives read access to ext3 and ext2 [00:25] taylor_: read my post again. [00:25] ActionParsnip: I know that, but he's talking about a windows boot disk. [00:25] How do you completely, temporarily disable the firewall? [00:26] dugger5688: gotcha [00:26] any downsides to 64bit? [00:26] @dugger5688 so i just need to format the drive on a ubuntu live disk [00:26] D#RGPS31: some people say that flash is moody but no problems here. Also u need more memory for it. [00:26] ? [00:26] taylor_: That or a windows install CD (assuming you want to get rid of ubuntu) [00:26] D3RGPS31: some manufacturers dont give drives for 32bit and some apps that arent on the repos arent 64bit so you will have to manually satisfy 32bit deps manually [00:26] dugger5688: i won't need more than 650K :3 [00:27] ActionParsnip: ty [00:27] Uhhh, yeah you will.... [00:27] dugger5688: i was playing a joke on what Gate's said :< [00:27] D3RGPS31: id say use 64bit if your cpu is 64bit [00:27] lol, nice. [00:27] my bad. [00:27] dugger5688: darn rite it is [00:28] @dugger5688 yeah i have ubuntu on this netbook here. and im gonna go remove ubuntu frm the 10.04 LTS desktop thanks [00:28] I wanted to know if there was a way to run ubuntu from a flashdrive with different applications then the ones already installed [00:28] trickx51: make a persistent install and boot it, install the software. It should retain the software from then on. [00:28] trickx51: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization customise the iso then transfer that [00:29] ?? Im running from a liveCD....is there anyway to do it without a full install? [00:29] how do i see how much space i have left on my HD? [00:29] lyrae: df -h [00:29] Please, I need to know quickly: how do I disable the firewall? [00:29] !firewall | R3cur51v3 [00:29] R3cur51v3: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [00:30] trickx51: you can uninstall apps in the live environment but they will be back next boot [00:30] ActionParsnip, thanks [00:31] R3cur51v3: sudo service iptables stop [00:31] R3cur51v3: i think :D [00:31] Hi, is there any way to set Alt-Backspace to word delete in Ubuntu? [00:31] trickx51: There's a guide around for a custom install disk, I made one awhile ago with OpenOffice and most stuff removed to run virus scans on windows partitions ;-) I would help you but I gtg, try searching around on the web. [00:31] hi, how do I get a copy of ffmpeg with nonfree enabled? is there a deb for that? [00:31] trickx51: I mean live. [00:32] !ffmpeg | shomon [00:32] shomon: what do you want ffmpeg for? [00:32] thanks [00:32] I have some 3gp videos I want to convert to avi [00:32] and it looks like only the nonfree bit of it works with this codec [00:32] shomon: its in the repo I think [00:33] !codecs [00:33] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:33] sebsebseb: okay I'm just looking through apt search [00:34] shomon: ffmpeg -i video.3gp -b 250 -s 160×120 -r 15 -f avi -an video.avi [00:35] i installed an application with synaptic, its listed as installed there and in the ubuntu software center, but I can't find it anywhere? [00:35] Hello :) [00:35] trickx51: what app? [00:35] ah I got an error with that ActionParsnip [00:35] aircrack-ng [00:35] yup. windows is SHITAKE with partitions [00:35] hehe [00:35] I love that [00:35] trickx51: that's a CLI program [00:36] sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng [00:36] shomon: you will need to install ffmpeg [00:36] ActionParsnip: uh yes [00:36] ActionParsnip: they were wondering how to install ffmpeg [00:36] I have it [00:36] it is the older version of aircrack-ng though... (I think) [00:36] shomon: or you can try handbrake or winff [00:37] sebsebseb: I'm sure it's in the repositories [00:37] ok [00:37] ActionParsnip: it wont work unless he has the latest ffmpeg [00:37] MaRK-I: What's a CLI program? [00:37] makes sense... manual compilation? [00:37] or do you mean compile it with the nonfree flag enabled? [00:37] When changing display resolution plaing games in Wine and Ubuntu games there will be a black are aroound the desktop and the game will show up at top left cornet. Why isn't the desktop showing all over the screen after I change the resolution? i use nvidia driver suggested buy Ubuntu. [00:37] shomon: http://swik.net/Linux/Technorati+Linux+Feed/Convert+movies+in+mobile+(3gp)+to+AVI+in+Ubuntu/c0ual [00:37] *by [00:38] trickx51: it means you can only use it in command line/terminal [00:38] oh [00:38] hello , is there a monthly network traffic calculator to know what bandwidth i used for this month for ubuntu 10.04 [00:38] cool! I was just reading http://parallaxed.net/article/howto-convert-3gp-to-avi [00:38] realubot: it's an issue that's been troubling people for a long time [00:39] dr3mro: check out bandwidthd [00:40] realubot: you can try adjusting your screen [00:40] p1oooop: Ok, why is it doing like this? I think my friend (who is actually having the problem) solved the issue by adding a line to the xorg.conf file conatining the new ressolution. [00:40] realubot: if wine is giving you jip i'd ask in #winehq [00:42] ah wow, that did something... I'll see if it's produced anything useful... [00:42] so it was mencoder rather than ffmpeg that could do it for some reason [00:42] Hey guys so im running ubuntu 10.04 and for some reason the volume control on the top menu bar/panel is gone. i dont know how to add it back. i click on "add to panel", but then i dont see where the volume control item is. any ideas? thanks [00:42] shomon: both are very powerful [00:43] hellothere: add the indicator applet [00:43] hey I installed wvDial now..where do I find it [00:43] gosh ubuntu is sooo cool... but soo hard to understand [00:43] trism, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar ;) . thanks [00:44] hellothere: press alt+f2, type: gnome-volume-control-applet press enter [00:44] I am trying to use ufw to set up a firewall ( 9.10 on remote server), and it seems like it won't report the rules unless it's running. So I won't know if I've locked myself out until I lock myself out. Am I missing something ? [ ufw allow 22 ; then ufw status verbose just reports 'inactive' ] [00:44] GArReT: its only hard as you have your windows goggles on, if you use linux as long as you have used windows you'd find it a snap [00:45] ActionParsnip: Not only Wine, the same problem occur playing games in Ubuntu and changing the resolution to like 640x480. The new desktop show up as a box in the old ones, having black area around it. [00:45] Что такое - напевание? [00:45] ActionParsnip, i know... I really am trying my hardest to change from windows to Ubuntu... but before I can do that, i need to get my internet working [00:45] can someone send me the link to create a new post on ubuntuforums.org ? [00:46] I kinda miss Ubuntu. [00:46] ubuntuforumshelp: are you logged in? [00:46] soreau: yes [00:46] I never would have stopped using it but I really wanted to play games and wine just didn't work.

Can't mount it with sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt; I get mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock Any ideas? [00:49] ubuntuforumshelp: Also, you can ask your question here ;) [00:49] It also is 320 gigs, and my own drive is only 250, so I can't just do a bit for bit copy [00:49] hip: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=54079 [00:50] soreau: i fixed the problem, but no one has logged it on the forum, which i was going to do [00:50] ubuntuforumshelp: Ah ok. Well typically a forum works as such you select a category for threads, then there is a new threas/new post buttom somewhere [00:50] soreau: i have been to many, this is the only like that [00:51] ubuntuforumshelp: compiz forums works the same way [00:51] ubuntuforumshelp, try in #ubuntuforums [00:51] bestidrazor [00:51] Grettings folks.

So TB3 does not want to support my old Yahoo account while my TB2 will just fine. Checap bastards. [01:01] vock: keep in mind that whether you use base-2 or base-10 measures, (that is, GiB v. GB) sizes vary. so 14GiB might be 15GB [01:01] vock: also, note that the filesystem itself reserves 5% of space for root to be able to work to clean things out if the drive fills up [01:02] oh yeah, forgot about that [01:02] ActionParsnip: working on it, ill be back when it does/doesnt work [01:02] ... [01:02] LOL [01:02] vock, you can check on space by (in a terminal window): du -ba | sort -n [01:02] ploooop: I did [01:02] vock, that should tell you what is taking up the space. [01:02] maco: it's saying that 14 GB is being used though, when going to the home folder in nautilus is only showing 300 MB [01:03] vock: hmm... did you use the disk tool that comes with ubuntu? [01:03] sjm, i'll check that out now, didn't know those commands [01:03] ActionParsnip: should i use the B43 which is free, or the STA which is proprietary? [01:03] vock: are you including the dot files? [01:03] it does that with hidden folders [01:03] vock: i know my .kde is 1.8GB [01:03] vock, do you have nautilus set to show the hidden files? [01:03] drew212: no idea, try one, if it works great, if not then use t'otherun [01:03] sjm, wouldn't that still show up in used space? I'll double check [01:04] I just lost another 500 MB some how [01:04] vock: du will show you all files and folders and the space they use. [01:04] vock: how big is the partition? [01:04] vock, turn on the hidden files option in nautilus to see ALL the files.

After having installed it once, then updating to 10.04, I no longer can access a graphical verison, (right now I'm in the F1 terminal). I can't even boot a linux cd. It gets half-way through the boot of the cd and then everything just freezes and I have to hard-reboot my computer. [01:15] !ot | p1oooop [01:15] p1oooop: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:15] KungFuBear: whaaa.... [01:15] heh [01:16] p1oooop: Maybe it would be better if you asked me a question and I answer it [01:16] navetz, depends how you want to do it. If they are both on the same local network, you could just use nfs. [01:16] KungFuBear: that shouldn't happen to your computer... perhaps your boot CD is messed up? [01:16] KungFuBear: Bad burn of the CD, maybe? [01:16] KungFuBear: try sudo gdm start [01:16] p1oooop: I installed using the CD I used on my old PC, it installed fine, but now everything is messed up... [01:16] did I lagg out?? [01:17] p1oooop: yeah, I did try the gdm thingy, it told me that x was already running [01:17] !ping [01:17] pong [01:17] p1oooop: in F7 and F8 there is nothing but a blank screen [01:17] sorry about that.. [01:17] p1oooop, stop that. [01:17] lemme try again though, just a sec [01:17] sorry, I lagged out. [01:17] KungFuBear: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [01:18] KungFuBear: alright, try sudo gdm restart (I think...) [01:18] hi, how do i share screen session between multiple users? when i do between non root users, it says "Must run suid root for multiuser support.", if i try to screen -x from root user, it says "Access to session denied." the /usr/bin/screen has suid bit... [01:19] KungFuBear: here's another one with different video cards: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ [01:19] ahh, blank screen... [01:19] type in your username, press enter, then your password [01:20] works for me every time [01:20] (and now people can't randomly use my computer) [01:21] I need to see that tutorial... thanks MaRk-I [01:21] p1oooop, what up [01:21] just had the intel card fail on me again [01:22] dmesg tail says no space for Tx. Failed to send SCAN_REQUEST_EXT: Reason -16 [01:22] ahh... I get the blank screen bug on lucid === pure_hate is now known as purehate_ [01:24] well, cya guys later. [01:24] p1oooop: yw === purehate_ is now known as purehate [01:24] !bye | p1oooop [01:24] p1oooop, please see my private message [01:24] hee === purehate is now known as _purehate [01:25] ok, I'm back with more info [01:25] dial-up is using up my grandparents' phone line [01:25] so...

[01:27] Can someone explain me thinks in /etc/ssh like ssh_host_dsa_key and rsa_key , can they be dangerous for me ? as i have server rented somewhere?means ISP and someone else maybe can access?what happends if i just remove those keys, or should i firstly generate new ones?since i only connect true ssh2 password...not using keys? [01:27] 28-11, if I start in recovery mode, I can make it here to this F1 terminal. the non-recovery mode boots up till when the splash screen loads, and then my monitor tells me there is an Invalid Input Type [01:27] how do i change the default user which gets logged on @ bootup? [01:27] if I do sudo gdm start, I see my gui login screen, but my keyboard has no power, and my mouse has power but doesn't function [01:28] AljosHa: turn off RSAAuthentication & PubKeyAuthentication and you're good..

[01:36] euph0ria, but there are still .pub files and sucha thinks in my /etc/ssh, should i remove them?even if i did RsaAuthentication no and pubkeyauth no ?should i remove files? [01:37] Dexter: I think you want the #samba channel [01:38] Dexter: but in any case, is it a fresh Samba install, or did this just happen after an update. [01:39] Thank you again AP, I got it working but sadly I messed up a setting somewhere and TB decided that my new emails were all junk and deleted them without a trace! === root is now known as Guest76320 [01:40] Nevermind...found them. [01:40] Will I melt my motherboard or hard drive if I try using sata hotplug (ie unplugging a sata disk and plugging in a new one) on Ubuntu 9.10? [01:40] I somehow have WAY too many folders in TB3 [01:40] Or erase all of the bits on any of the drives involved? [01:40] After 5 minutes (or so) of being connected wirelessly on my laptop with an Intel Pro 2200 BG Wireless card, I ran dmesg| tail to find this http://pastebin.com/0RUnYsKg output. What does it mean? What can I do? [01:45] hey my web home page has just been changed to start.ububtu hows that? [01:45] it's basically google.com [01:45] except you don't have the choice between videos and images [01:46] AljosHa: no need to really..

[01:49] whats this all about??? [01:49] how do i change the name of my computer [01:49] !hostname | niglop [01:49] niglop: 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. [01:50] so what this about? [01:50] Niglop, the above message should read "... otherwise sudo WILL NOT WORK AT ALL", so be sure they both match. [01:51] I'm currently SSH'd into my new ubuntu box. What would be the command to make Ubuntu automatically log in to a specific user on boot to Gnome? [01:52] fxfitz, i'm not sure what ssh since i'm new to linux but system -> administration -> login screen [01:52] ZykoticK9: it worked thnx [01:52] Hello, are there any tangogps users here? Is there a web based interface for friend tracking? [01:52] ridin: Yeah, see the problem is that I am unable to use the GUI because I don't have a screen or keyboard on the box. [01:53] Hello, I want to try out KDE, preferably by installing it onto the same system as Gnome--but I'd like to keep the two /seperate/, so that they don't interfere with each other [01:53] is there any way to get that to work? [01:53] Tazzypillar, not really [01:53] >: [01:53] Tazzypillar, the various apps will both show up in the menu [01:53] bazhang: wheres my home page gone to? [01:53] is there a way to make ubuntu uses a lower quality images so i can browse the web without using so much bandwidth on internet mobile usb modem ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? [01:53] Can someone tell me what this means while I try to ssh to my machine? 2: Packet corrupt [01:54] trycilic, switch it back in FF preferences [01:54] Received disconnect from 172.16.0.135: 2: Packet corrupt [01:54] Very odd error [01:54] Can anyone tell me how to make Ubuntu log in automatically to a user from command line?? [01:54] bazhang: why should it change? [01:55] trycilic, no idea. developers decision [01:55] is there a way to make ubuntu uses less bandwidth while browsing for limited internet i have only 500 MB /month for browsing [01:55] how do you force close a program? My thunderbird is trying to compose a message and I want it to shut down [01:55] fxfitz, not really from command line - but SSH in with X support then run "gdmsetup" [01:55] <_unnamed_> hello [01:56] killall thunderbird === _unnamed_ is now known as guest123 [01:56] Anyone here used the CLI IRC app Rhapsody? [01:56] developers as in firefox or ubuntu? [01:56] thanks [01:56] ZykoticK9: gdmsetup, got it. Should I use sudo?? [01:56] dr3mro: You can use Opera with "Opera Turbo". [01:56] dr3mro: adblock and flashblock will help you in that regard for FF and Chrome. Opera has some mobile compression proxy stuff you might look into. [01:56] fxfitz, not required - there is an "unlock" button :) [01:57] ZykoticK9: It's actually not unlocking... :( [01:57] Failed to unlock: The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files [01:57] fxfitz, you could "try" with "gksu gdmsetup" [01:57] i'm trying to diff two files and only display additions present in one file, any gurus out there? [01:58] Sadly it is still failing to unlock. :( [01:59] anyone here use Rhapsody IRC? [02:00] I forget who led me to the link about the blank startup screen in 10.04, but I have some questions about the directions the website gave [02:01] First off, I was instructed to press F6 at the main menu of the install CD and enter in: i915.modeset=1. I got to the F6 menu, but I have no idea how I declare the i915.modeset=1 part [02:01] Can someone tell me what this means while I try to ssh to my machine? Bad packet length 962001235. [02:01] Disconnecting: Packet corrupt [02:03] KungFuBear: Press escape to get out the menu that comes up, and there should be a line containing kernel parameters. Type "i915.modeset=1" and it should appear at the end of that line. [02:04] Jordan_U: ahah, ok thank you. [02:04] Jordan_U: does it matter where in teh kernel parameters I put that? [02:04] alex87 I don't think diff has that option. you can do something like this though :: $ diff -y foo bar | grep '>' [02:04] KungFuBear: You're welcome. Not that you'll need to change it again on your first boot after installing by holding shift during boot and pressing "e" to edit the menu entry. [02:05] *note [02:05] AAA, thanks, i think i have it working with sed [02:05] Jordan_U: yeah, I did notice the edit part, but what does holding SHIFT during boot do? [02:06] Jordan_U: and that was also my next question. I tried navigating to /etc/default/grub but that file doesn't exist [02:06] KungFuBear: Holding shift at boot brings up the menu, otherwise you'll just boot with the default options. [02:07] How can I get a terminal launcher next to the firefox icon next to Applications Places System? [02:07] saganbyte, right click add to panel [02:07] I am not sure if Terminal Server Client App is the right onwe [02:08] alright, well I'm going to try this again, thanks Jordan_U [02:08] bazhang, okay, found it... thanks :) [02:11] I've got a pretty big problem. I changed my password via command line, now I can't log into my account via GUI (encrypted home folder). I get an error message about nautalis unable to create home folder [02:11] Howdy! [02:12] I seem to have run into a problem with the 10.04 installer... [02:13] I'm prompted with the main menu, and no matter what option I choose (other than booting from first HDD) I get a black screen. [02:13] And then it does nothing... forever. [02:14] ok sorted that out [02:14] After this happened the first time, I burned the disk again at 4x speed, but it still happens. === paul__ is now known as pmcclelland [02:14] !md5sum | LorgonJortle [02:14] LorgonJortle: 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 [02:15] does anyone know if it is possible to run compiz fusion effects under the latest version of VMWare Workstation?

What does it mean? What can I do? [02:41] andrew| where you point your browser is the biggest concern ;) [02:41] andrew|: make sure "sudo ufw status" shows firewall is enabled. Keep your updates current with update-manager or synaptic package manager. Don't run stuff you know is going to be squirrely. That's really about all there is.

[02:44] thune3, thank you [02:44] <[[thufir]]> un214: so, opening that "rule" in the router should "open" the ports for this app, even if nmap doesn't detect them as open?

[02:58] or any other videos on any site for tht matter [02:58] !kubuntu [02:58] kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [02:58] thune3: linux is not prone to malware? [02:58] linux is malware [02:59] would anyone like to hold my hand in creating a source package for an incredibly simple script? [03:00] Roasted, check if you have the video driver installed [03:00] trycilic: i don't understand which side you are asking. Malware is the broadest term for malicious softwares. [03:00] could anyone tell me how to check which video card my computer is using at the moment? [03:00] jimi_, I just in stalled gtk gnutella and it is saying the same thing about being very old [03:01] jimi_, let me see if I can remedy this hold on [03:01] wildbat, its an ati driver - no drivers came down via hardware driver manager. [03:01] wildbat, er rrestricted driver manager - whatever it is [03:01] thune3: just trying to engage you in conversation! [03:01] coz_, ya, me too, wont connect to anything :( [03:02] trycilic: if you wan't go offtopic in pm, i'll engage you [03:02] thune3: but hey np [03:02] !ati | Roasted [03:02] Roasted: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:02] wildbat, again - none came through te hardware driver manager. [03:02] allo all [03:02] how do i copy and paste a folder with spaces via command line? [03:03] zombie-robot, use quotes [03:03] anyone have experience setting up a persistent USB install? [03:03] "zombie folder with spaces" [03:03] Roasted, you have to DL from ati [03:03] jimi_, on this page are unofficial builds for ubuntu http://stinker.serveftp.net:8000/gtkgnutella/gtkgnutella.html [03:03] Roasted, read the guide [03:03] are ATI open source drivers any good, or should I use restricted? [03:04] Roasted, Radeon 7000 (or M6). For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [03:04] coz_, for an older laptop, what would be better? [03:05] Roasted, welll I am not really up on ati configs and which driver to use with what but I believe the people in #radeon for be much more helpful than I can [03:05] for = would [03:05] coz_, you really think theyd know the answer to a linux related question? :P [03:06] Roasted, absolutely [03:06] lol????? [03:06] Roasted, the people I know who know about ati all suggest that channel [03:06] Roasted, and I dont know anyone with windows using ati :) [03:07] Roasted, you could go into #compiz and talk with soreau if he is not busy but DO NOT pm him [03:08] does he get a little fussy via PM? [03:08] Roasted, yes so dont pm him or I will hear about it :) [03:08] #join openvnc [03:08] !pm [03:08] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:09] jimi_, I installed the one pacakge from that link and it does work withouth the warning about the age of the application [03:09] or, for that matter, has anyone tried to set up a persistent install on an SD card? I have a 4GB USB stick running persistent for a bit now, and just picked up a 16GB stick for the next iteration, not sure how big to make the casper though. This one I did a 3GB casper on a 4GB stick and the system ran out of room REAL fast.. not sure what happens on the casper and what happens on the un-caspered space. I had presumed anything no [03:09] t casper was used for SWAP, but I'm thinking otherwise now... [03:09] Roasted, #radeon channel is for the open source radeon X.org driver support. [03:09] Roasted, of course they answer linux related questions. [03:09] this laptop is going so slow. its almost unuseable [03:10] I would like to run a unix command when the computer starts, but not as root, as a user. How would I do that? [03:10] been waiting for appearance window to open for the last 3-4 minutes so I can disable compiz to see if it helps [03:10] check with #radeon [03:10] wow. yeah. it froze. [03:10] time for the windows fix. REBOOTING! [03:10] Roasted, Alt + F2, type metacity --replace and press enter [03:10] Daekdroom, I'd love to. but.. it was kinda frozen. [03:10] Roasted, Rebooting is for people that have no clue how to fix something o.o [03:10] fxfitz: System > Preferences > Startup Applications [03:10] Daekdroom, how doy ou fix a problem when the computer wont respond? [03:11] Daekdroom, so yeah, no clue waht they're doing? I CANT MOVE [03:11] thanks [03:11] rystraum: Tried that, but gnome doesn't start on boot. [03:11] Roasted CRTL + ALT + F1, killall (insert here name of whatever is freezing your computer) [03:11] tried it [03:11] was frozen [03:11] fxfitz: So, what do you get on boot? [03:11] thanks [03:11] Woah. [03:11] nothing at all responded [03:11] That should be something way beyond compiz. [03:11] even the activity lights on the system were frozen. [03:11] love it. [03:11] rystraum: I can SSH in. That's what I"m doing. [03:12] its always wicked fast when it boots up tho [03:12] and gradually grows to a crawl [03:12] Roasted, does the mouse move? [03:12] Daekdroom, it does now that I *GASP* rebooted it. [03:12] Ah.. === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:12] fxfitz: Hmmm. You want it to run every time or just once? [03:13] Roasted, well, compiz cannot cause such a big lock up. [03:13] rystraum: Every time on boot. [03:13] I wouldnt think so, but I disabled compiz anyway to check it out [03:13] fxfitz: Have you checked up on adding your commands at the end of ~/.bashrc? [03:14] might be worthwhile grabbing an ati driver though [03:14] since nothing is available in hardware drivers [03:14] for some reason there is no way to change my resolution === mike is now known as MikeXz [03:14] My lubuntu install on the old laptop brings this error "process 277 glibwarning getpwuid_r(): failed due to blah blah. You think this is causing problems at all on the system. Most of the time it freezes on password screen [03:14] Roasted, if it's not avaiable, it's probably not compatible with your videocard. [03:14] rystraum: If I add it to .bashrc, wouldn't I have to log in with SSH before the command is run? [03:15] rystraum: This might be easier: I want to start vncserver on boot. [03:15] Daekdroom, I was told I should still install one regardless. [03:15] Questions - just formatted 2 drives as ext3 in gparted and loaded drive into ubuntu - in the file explorer I cannot creat efolders - getting access denied - seems like I should not need to be sudo - what gives? [03:15] Daekdroom, bad idea? [03:15] coz_, Which one do you recommend? [03:15] Howdy Ya'll [03:15] Roasted, ATI binary driver probably wouldn't install. [03:16] Daekdroom, Roasted: fglrx dropped support for your card [03:16] well, fml [03:16] Hi [03:16] Roasted, the opensource driver, on the other hand, should give excellent support for you card. [03:16] How do i get my Logitech Fusion webcam to work when I need it? I have Cheese installed and had it work before. Now it just starts and spins a wheel and shuts down. [03:16] Roasted, because I have a x200 as well. [03:16] fxfitz: Ahh. So that's what you want to do. Hmmm. I can't think of anything else but adding it to /etc/init.rcXd. [03:16] I was wondering in the openoffice writer program if there is a way to include the Header/Footer but only on certain pages? Like maybe Pages 3-10, 12-19, etc [03:17] Daekdroom, do you use the open source driver? [03:17] Roasted, yes [03:17] fxfitz: But then again, that would execute the process as root. [03:17] could a getpwuid_r(): failed due to bla bla cause problems loading lubuntu? [03:17] jimi_, are you on karmic or lucid? [03:17] Roasted, it should work out of the box, by the way. [03:17] Daekdroom, how can I obtain it? Ive never used an OS driver [03:17] Daekdroom, well, it "works" I suppose [03:17] rystraum: And vncserver needs to be started as the user, right? [03:17] Daekdroom, how can I tell if its in use? [03:17] coz_, how can i tell? [03:17] fxfitz: Could I write a script that did like 'su fxfitz; vncserver'?? [03:17] tenochslb: probably, ask in #lubuntu [03:17] Roasted, lsmod | grep radeon should return a few lines if it's in use [03:17] jimi_, lsb_release -a in terminal [03:17] rystraum: Could I write a script that did like 'su fxfitz; vncserver'?? [03:18] coz_, i switched about 4-5 months ago from fedora, this new naming convention for distro versions is weird. [03:18] Roasted, well, we better move the entire thing to #radeon o.o [03:18] Questions - just formatted 2 drives as ext3 in gparted and loaded drive into ubuntu - in the file explorer I cannot create folders - getting access denied - seems like I should not need to be sudo - what gives? [03:18] jimi_, understood so just open a terminal and paste this command lsb_release -a [03:19] Logitech webcam help? Cheese please [03:19] Daekdroom, what for? [03:19] jimi_, what did that spit out?? [03:19] IdleOne, thanks i will try, i being trying to get help since yesterday on that channel but they must be really busy. [03:19] coz_, karmic [03:19] fxfitz: That could work I think. I'm checking up on if vncserver really needs to be run by the user. [03:19] Roasted, so I don't have to read the same conversation twice. I'm there. [03:19] When i search from Nautilus it looks outside of the folder I am in. How do I make it just look inside the folder I am in? [03:19] ahh. lol [03:20] fxfitz: I have vncserver installed on my desktop too so I'm trying to find out. [03:20] jimi_, ok then download the package for karmic 4th one down on the list click the number 17432 http://stinker.serveftp.net:8000/gtkgnutella/gtkgnutella.html [03:20] Still not working... :-( [03:20] jimi_, or the 64 bit also numbered 17432 [03:20] #lavida [03:20] fxfitz: Where did you get the impression that vncserver should be run as user? Any documentation / link? [03:20] coz_, thanks.... i will do that now.. how does ubuntu come up w/ the naming conventions? === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy [03:21] I tried installing it and booting from it using nomodeset in lieu of quiet splash, but it still just goes black. [03:21] rystraum: Well, all of the server information is stored in ~/.vnc/ so I figured it was user-specific. [03:21] jimi_, you mean like 9.04? or 10.04 ? [03:21] coz_, like karmic / iggy / etc [03:22] jimi_, oh!! those are chosen by mark shuttleworth and they are following the alphabet [03:22] Questions - just formatted 2 drives as ext3 in gparted and loaded drive into ubuntu - in the file explorer I cannot create folders - getting access denied - seems like I should not need to be sudo - what gives? === kenneth__ is now known as SSgtSpoon [03:22] fxfitz: not sure but I think you want to do this? http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_Ubuntu_Linux_Desktop#Creating_Additional_Desktops [03:22] Okay I really need to get rid of the ugly blueish screens @boot/restart, any hints? [03:22] coz_, so it lucid is 'newer' than karmic? [03:23] jimi_, is is yes karmic is ubuntu 9.10 lucid is 10.04 [03:23] oh ok :) [03:23] jimi_, and those numbers are the dates of the release [03:23] jimi_, 10.04 2010 april [03:23] MaRk-I: Thats actually exactly what I'm doing [03:23] MaRk-I: But I want vncserver to start on boot. [03:23] Anyone have more ideas on how to install lucid and get past the black screen? [03:23] :) [03:23] jimi_, not so confusing now yes? [03:24] jimi_:http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Linus_Torvalds [03:24] coz_, not any more... i was used to like fedora core 6, fedora core 7, F11, etc [03:24] LorgonJortle: hit the button above CTRL [03:24] jimi_, understood :) [03:25] oh shoot, i gotta go to bed, its 10:30 [03:25] nite guys, thanks for the help [03:25] “ [03:25] PS.

[03:47] aristo: Are you using a mouse or a touchpad? [03:47] Just a black screen with a blinking cursor.

[03:48] ok, so i pulled down GYachi from a ppa, and whenever i click the voice button, it doesn't launch...i ran it from a terminal and it give me: "sh: gyachivoice: not found"...anybody have experience with it, or could someone direct me to a more appropriate channel? [03:48] latest HPlip 3.9.2 installed and copy, fax and printing working except for scanner [03:48] lol i sure hope so [03:48] i like the lucid reference better [03:48] I've tried adding 'nomodeset' to the boot parameters, but that didn't do it either. [03:48] vu1kan: I noticed that from another user yesterday, might want to contact loell the packager [03:48] i dont keep up to date with the codenames [03:49] but wanking walrus would be an awesome release name [03:49] Compiling, cheers to that one. [03:49] MaRk-I: thx, glad to know it's not just me [03:49] !guidelines > Compiling [03:49] Compiling, please see my private message [03:49] vu1kan: I compiled mine from source, works [03:50] IdleOne: Linus said it, not me: http://lwn.net/Articles/290498/ [03:50] Roasted: Aren't there any other driver you could possibly use? Then again, you could get far worse errors than dropping connections. [03:50] Compiling: the leash is short tonight. stay on topic, follow the guidelines. Thank you. [03:50] rystraum: May I PM you? [03:50] MaRk-I: i'm not quite confident enough to give that a go, i'm still pretty noobish. would the (online ub)manual have instructions on compiling? [03:50] Lorgon: Sure. [03:51] rystraum, from what I understand, intel is *THE* card to have for wireless with linux due tot heir support and integrated drivers. I didnt have an option with drivers. Theyre embedded within the kernel or whatever. [03:51] L [03:51] vu1kan: ugh, no [03:51] rystraum, it just worked. Intel has always worked. Yet this one is giving me the finger. [03:51] tsk...off to google, i guess [03:51] vu1kan: I could paste you simple instructions on how to do it, even installing dependencies but... that's it [03:51] Can anyone help me find a sort of minicom for TCP sockets? I dont think netcat is it. I've been searching and searching... no luck [03:52] hi so on my DNS table on my router, i added and removed some and internet stopped working on ubuntu, i rebooted ubuntu and it worked again . . . what causes that? [03:52] Roasted: Then I guess there's not much we can do (but write your own driver) [03:52] MaRk-I: thx, but i don't wanna put ya out, my google-fu's pretty good these days [03:53] mom: DNS cache perhaps [03:53] vu1kan: ok np [03:53] rystraum, I use ubuntu because it works. Its frustrating when things dont work, especially with reliable brands with intel, etc. [03:53] Compiling, ahhhh ok [03:53] rystraum, writing my own driver shouldnt be the almighty answer... [03:53] Compiling, is there like a bash command for resetting instead of rebooting?

[04:31] wanwan: there is a way to boot from a floppy and then pass the system on to a cd, but last time i had to do that was years ago [04:31] well you need to set default gw with route [04:31] Wanwan: enable cd boot in the bios [04:31] iflema: specified CD boot, and it spits me to the OS selection screen, but they're all Ubuntu [04:31] aristo: How so?

[04:34] I have also cd'd into just disk-2 and then gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and that defaults [04:34] aristo: yeah, i'm starting to think that too, but I used it just fine when I installed Win7 with VirtualBox in Ubuntu [04:34] iceroot: So whats the format of the interfaces file? :( iface eth0 ... ? [04:35] mrklean, you need to browse to the folder where you have mounted that disk partition [04:35] Need help getting my Soundblaster Audigy 4 to use 7.1 speakers. I'm in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. [04:35] fxfitz: have a look at man interfaces, there are examples [04:36] then, inside that folder, go to boot/grub/menu.lst [04:36] iceroot: Yeah, just found it. ;-) [04:36] fxfitz: if i am correct you have to call /etc/init.d/networking restart after [04:36] then you can use ifup a ifdown fxfitz [04:36] aristo, oh I forgot to include that, yeah I am cd'ing into /media/disk-2/boot/grub [04:36] aristo: Got it. [04:37] <_SKiTZO> latest version of ubuntu needs service networking restart instead [04:37] Hi, guys. In my "Appearance" tab, when I try to change the theme from the "custom" theme, it won't let me.

[04:37] aristo, now the file opens but it still is read only even with sudo gedit [04:37] Well, gents, I'm going to test it out now.

[04:37] hey all, Im on a laptop and my trackpad is real buggy, so I was wondering if there is a way to disable my trackpad? [04:37] Grub2 is on /dev/sda and Grub is on /dev/sda9 [04:37] on /dev/sda9 --- Fedora is installaed ( with bootloader ) [04:38] <_SKiTZO> iceroot: tx for the headsup :) [04:38] i wanna chainload to Grub [04:38] niccoli, it's in mouse options [04:38] Howdy. Is there a way to get rid of tooltips in gedit. They never are useful and frequently get in the way. [04:38] i had tried a bit , but none works [04:38] !grub2 | harmandeep [04:39] harmandeep: 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 [04:39] mrklean, that's weird [04:39] <_SKiTZO> harmandeep: what do you want to chaniload to grub? === patrick is now known as Guest97516 [04:42] alternatively, is there a way to completely wipe my hard drive and start from scratch? :P [04:42] Fedora i.e /dev/sda9 [04:42] lukehasnoname, where is it in mouse options; all I see is to disable scrolling and disable while typing. I want to disable the touchpad completely. [04:42] Wanwan, format disk [04:42] Wanman, just start a new install. Tell it to use the whole drive and everything will be formatted freshly. [04:42] I thought it was there anyway... [04:42] aristo, I did sudo su and gedit grub.cfg, still read only, any ideas? [04:43] PythonPup: new install from where? [04:43] hi, I need ato install Mythbuntu 8.10 via a flash drive (long story) does some one know where I can get Mythbuntu 8.10 torrent? [04:43] A Cd is the most common method. [04:43] I found the alternate install but will that give me a gui? [04:43] mrklean, well you can create a mount point at fstab with rw permission [04:43] <_SKiTZO> wanwan: to COMPLETELY wipe a disk i usually do cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda where sda is my disk [04:43] Need help getting my Soundblaster Audigy 4 to use 7.1 speakers. I'm in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. [04:43] Chaorain, yes. I almost always use the alternate install cd. [04:44] <_SKiTZO> Wanwan: that is seldom necessary though [04:44] I have an old desktop running Ubu 10.04 LTS Server. It runs Virtualmin, BIND, Appache, MySQL, PHP4/PHP5, Ulteo, and other associated packeges. Today, while working on it via telnet, it suddenly goes non-responsive. Unable to ping the eth0 interface's static IP. I rebooted twice, with no luck. Any ideas whats happened? (Yes, the NIC is fine. Already tested. No, DHCP server is not getting a request for an IP) [04:45] PythonPup: ok, is there a specific program I should use to put the image on the flash drive? (I'm currently on Windows but can switch to linux) [04:45] niccoli: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad says touchpad can be temp disabled with "synclient TouchpadOff=1" command, or permanently disabled by uninstalling xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [04:45] Anowlin, iptables? [04:45] Chaorain, yes. === charlie is now known as Guest72883 [04:45] iptables as in? (Keep in mind, I'm not a linux guru, but know enough of the ropes to be dangerous) [04:45] ANowlin, and why telnet, you should use ssh [04:46] telnet because I haven't configured ssh yet. [04:46] Chaorain, I haven't used it, but there is an installer for USB drives in the menu once you are up. [04:46] <_SKiTZO> ANowlin: ssh > telent, i wouldnt even trust a box with open telnet [04:46] hi this is the NFS error I am having: http://lfitz.bravehost.com/nfs-error.html [04:46] ANowlin, iptables controls you firewall rules [04:46] PythonPup: sorry I ment useing a usb instead of a cd to install [04:46] I've just installed ubuntu from the minimal CDROM as an ssh-server only. What console packages are needed to make "less" look "normal"? [04:47] ANowlin, can you ping it? [04:47] It is possible. Sure. [04:47] I'm having trouble getting my thinkpad t43p to boot this karmic live CD. [04:47] Oh, as far as firewall, 80, 443, 53, 21, 22, 23, 10000-100100 (Virtualmin), and 20000(Virtualmin) ports are open. Unable to ping. [04:47] The CD passed a media check (booted it on a desktop). [04:47] In other words, I have no highlighting or anything in less. [04:47] <_SKiTZO> ANowlin: since its allready comprimised you could always flush the firewall completely and see if that helps with iptables -F [04:47] The BIOS settings seem to be correct. [04:47] Help? [04:48] <_SKiTZO> puff: where does it sop? [04:48] <_SKiTZO> stop [04:48] thune3, when I entered the command it gave me response "Unable to find a synaptics device." [04:48] Boot the live CD and run the USB creator. That's what I'd try. [04:48] Are there any maintainers of the *part libs in here? [04:48] I'll have to mess with it from work tomorrow. I'll have to gain physical access (again), which means old CRT monitor and find a working keyboard. [04:48] _SKiTZO: Well, so far I've rebooted about five times. Other than the second time, it goes to the existing edgy install. [04:48] !8.10 | Chaorain [04:48] Chaorain: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [04:49] <_SKiTZO> puff: just temporarily disalbe hd from boot selection in the bios [04:49] I just don't know why it would crap out on me randomly. [04:49] sebsebseb: yeah I know, I'm trying to get old hardware to work. It worked on 8.10 [04:49] _SKiTZO: The second time, I held down the "Access IBM" key on my thinkpad, which is the BIOS key. BIOS/startup/boot seems to be in the proper order, the hard drive is seven or eighth, 1) USB drive, 2) floppy drive, 3) CD. [04:49] Chaorain: 8.04 is still supported [04:50] Chaorain: untill the end of April next year [04:50] _SKiTZO: Okay, I'll try that. [04:50] sebsebseb: not sure if it will work [04:50] <_SKiTZO> puff: im not familiar with the t43 but you could try getting a bootr media menu [04:50] niccoli: what does " xinput list" show for your touchpad? [04:50] <_SKiTZO> puff: exactly [04:50] <_SKiTZO> just do that again [04:51] thune3, virtual core pointer [04:51] unless, does anyone know of a list of TV tunners that work ith Mythbuntu [04:52] iceroot: LOL well that didn't work out so well [04:53] Chaorain: I've messed with it a littlebit in a VMWare machine. I believe there is a selection (from quite a long list) that shows what it works with. Might check the Mythbuntu site as well. [04:54] anyone know how to open the keyboard shortcut GUI from the command line? There is a bug in jolicloud, an Ubuntu based netbook distro, and I want to see what is going on. [04:54] Chaorain: see also #mythtv-users [04:55] <_SKiTZO> ANowlin: the reason it doesnt always work is probably because the cd drive spends more time "settling" than the timeout for the boot manager in the bios wants to wait [04:55] aristo: Sooo it didn't work. [04:55] _SKiTZO: Huh? [04:55] aristo: Did you say I needed to edit the resolv.conf file? [04:55] I switched chanels for a sec [04:56] fxfitz, yes you need to add nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX [04:56] replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with you isp dns address [04:56] <_SKiTZO> ANowlin: nm. i was talking about why booting from cd doesnt always work [04:56] aristo: But my ISP's DNS servers are already in there. :( [04:57] _SKiTZO: Its alright. [04:57] hmm [04:57] can you ping your gw? [04:58] on ubuntu 9.10, on every boot I have to disable bluetooth and re-enable wireless network to get connected to internet. Is there a way to fix this please? [04:59] hi i posted this info on a website to allow easier reference to solve the problem. NFS says /path does not support NFS export when I start the service. http://lfitz.bravehost.com/nfs-error.html [04:59] aristo: Hang on, I'm actually on irssi from the server I'm trying to change. :-P [04:59] (bad setup right now, I know hehe) [04:59] how long is 10.04 supported? [05:00] <_SKiTZO> i think since its lts its 3 years [05:00] Chaorain: 3 years desktop 5 server [05:00] lol, 3 years will work [05:00] time for a new comp by then [05:01] considering its probably 3 years old already [05:01] on ubuntu 10.04, on every boot I have to disable bluetooth and re-enable wireless network to get connected to internet. Is there a way to fix this please? [05:01] _SKiTZO: Bleah... okay, that didn't work. [05:01] <_SKiTZO> puff: what happened? [05:01] _SKiTZO: I just tried completely excuding the HDD from the boot order, it still booted off the HDD. [05:01] <_SKiTZO> heh that was odd [05:02] techzg, i think you can auto enable wireless by right click on it and edit settings [05:02] <_SKiTZO> puff: how about using that blue access button again? [05:02] _SKiTZO: I noticed a bit in the BIOS about enabling the F12 key to pop up a boot selection menu, so I tried that. f12, got the list of devices, selected CD, nope, still booted off the HD. [05:02] _SKiTZO: The blue butto bascially just gets me into the BIOS menu. [05:02] and bluetooth go to Sistem -> preferences -> startup programs (or something like that) [05:03] _SKiTZO: Well, it pops up a menu with "ESC to continue, F1 to get into BIOS, F2 to select startup device". [05:03] aristo, the wireless networks get discovered when i disable bluetooth [05:03] i have my desktop on spanish so i don't know how is exactly in english [05:03] aristo: Well, I was able to get it working with ifconfig!! [05:03] I'm suspecting I may have to download and burn the alternate install CD. [05:03] <_SKiTZO> puff: is the CD itself put into the slot properly? atleast my w700 and x60 tablet hase removable cdroms [05:03] fxfitz_ congrats [05:03] aristo: The problem before was that the default gateway was deleted. :( [05:03] Hi, im geting error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> what can I do??? [05:03] _SKiTZO: Seems to be in the slot okay, rotates freely. [05:03] _SKiTZO: Well heck. [05:04] aristo: Yeah. But I can't seem to get my interfaces file to work correctly. And /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't seem to work. :( [05:04] <_SKiTZO> puff: i ment the cdrom drives.. not the platters [05:04] aristo: So I've been restarting the computer every time I had to test (a pain) [05:04] _SKiTZO: I just opened and closed the CD, and it popped up the "You have just inserted a blank CD". Which is weird, since it actually did boot the once. [05:04] _SKiTZO: The drive should be fine. I burned the CD with this drive. [05:04] Sihg. [05:05] fxfitx, there is a way to configure it for ifup [05:05] <_SKiTZO> puff: sure you did not at one point remove the cd and put in anoter one by mistake? :P [05:05] so when interface is linked up it will reconfigure [05:05] aristo: Hmmm [05:05] <_SKiTZO> puff: does it manage to boot of other cds? [05:06] but can't remember exactly which file you need to edit [05:06] _SKiTZO: Dunno, this is the only one I have. [05:06] but you can always google it [05:06] _SKiTZO: The only live CD I have. [05:06] ^^ [05:06] Hi, I cant access anyy OS. im geting error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> what can I do??? [05:07] _SKiTZO: Hm, googling on: ubuntu karmic live CD thinkpad [05:07] _SKiTZO: It suggests I'm not the only one :-). [05:08] http://www.paulchaplin.com/blog/ubuntu-karmic-9-10-install-issues-on-thinkpad-t42-t41-t40-etc [05:08] the default command for 'network applet' is nm-applet --sm-disable. Is it correct? [05:09] Was gnome-mount removed for 10.04? [05:09] aristo: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [05:09] for startup applications preferences: for network applet, is the command nm-applet --sm-disable?

I'm in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. [05:12] hello everybody [05:12] is there a way to make nautilus display all the mounted devices? [05:12] fxfitz, yes that's it [05:13] is anyone here [05:13] o/ alec_ [05:13] * aristo brb [05:13] alec_: there's 1334 people here.

[05:15] for startup applications preferences: for network applet, is the command nm-applet --sm-disable? [05:15] money ? [05:15] Blue1 if the partition is mounted under /media it will show up.... if its mounted under /mnt i will not show [05:15] anyone?

[05:16] <_SKiTZO> alec_: depends on your irc client. most list all the people on the right. [05:17] red, nm-applet --sm-disable is correct?

[05:19] iflema: yup but I want that integrated into nautilus [05:19] alec_: nevermind, was 32 bit [05:19] it should persist once selected [05:19] Blue1 it should persist once selected [05:19] iflema: huh?

Just came back to The Buntu after being with arch for almost a year. heh. I enjoyed it. but I just couldn [05:58] get anyone to try it :P === loganhatesmath is now known as EliTe [05:58] roky, which new interface? you mean gnome-shell? [05:59] What should I do to no longer leave this console? [05:59] d9500: no,unity interface [05:59] iflema, Which #ubuntu are we being saved to? [05:59] isn't unity for netbooks? [05:59] Roky, I'm running 10.10 here, but not unity. Isn't that one mainly for netbooks and instant-on environments? [06:00] Sam_Fisher #ubuntu :) === EliTe is now known as LyRiczZ [06:00] Sam_Fisher its there look again [06:00] I am trying and failing miserably to get squid running. "start squid" results in "job failed to start". I am doing it as root and I have configured squid.conf [06:00] d9500: You have to install unity yourself. it's not pre-installed by default. They want to see what everyone thinks about it before they push it out, and make a major change like that. Check out some videos of it on youtube bro. It really is pretty great. [06:01] Roky, what's the install command? sudo apt-get install unity-desktop? [06:01] Sam_Fisher its like 10th from the bottom...... [06:02] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-unity I think is what it is d9500 [06:03] question: If i update the linux kernel through the ubuntu update manager, will it kill a custom wifi driver that I installed from source? [06:03] I'd try it but I'm not on a netbook..wonder if it would work as well on a desktop.

I asked about the nautilus search and something else earlier and neither is there. [06:03] d9500: I am pretty sure, that it will be ported to the desktop environment as well....Eventually. But at least we desktop users /laptop users can use it. [06:04] Sam_Fisher youll have to wait an hour or two for recent activity or use logs of ya irc app... [06:04] aravind__: Please report any error messages. "an unstable internet connection" is not precise enough to help you. [06:04] does anybody have any experience running freeradius on ubuntu? [06:04] anyone? help on this squid thing? "squid start" results in "job failed to start". any way to get verbose output? [06:04] iflema, ok thanks. Do you use Xchat? [06:04] Sam_Fisher xchat has /lastlog you can view logs in the xchat gui [06:05] bullgard: it says 'server not found'...well i'd been using fedora before where i had no such problems,im hoping to resolve this soon! [06:05] Sam_Fisher do /lastlog Sam_Fisher [06:05] Roasted_: What did ya need? [06:05] iflema, thanks again [06:05] Roky, I just wanted to pick at someone whos set it up. I got the task of setting one up and I cant seem to find as much documentation on it as I like. [06:06] Roasted_: I understand your pain. heh. You do know that your going to need a somewhat prereq of knowing bits of mysql to setup it up yes? [06:06] set it up* [06:07] Roky, well, yes - but I'm not entirely doing this alone. the network admin knows more about mysql than me, but hes less experienced in linux than I am, so were both kind of tag teaming it. [06:07] aravind__: Yes. Your two messages combined make it a bit clearer what might be the cause. But it is still not enough information to help you out. Because "server not found" may be caused by many things. [06:07] Roky, we had a microsoft radius server set up, but theres an open bug MS has yet to fix which effects us greatly, so we need to find alternatives - and freeradius sounds to be a good one since uses said the MS bug doesn texist in freeradius [06:07] Roasted_: Right on, glad to see some teamwork. First off make sure you have mysql-server mysql-client setup. [06:08] Roky, okay, so just install mysql straigh from the repos [06:08] users? [06:08] anybody know of a good gui for maintaing the defalt ufw firewall application [06:08] Roasted_: yep [06:08] Roky, do I need any users besides, say, administrator? [06:08] Hi, what port does samba use? [06:08] Roky, we will be authenticating roughly (to throw out a padded number) 1,500 laptops. [06:08] Does anyone know if i update the linux kernel through the ubuntu update manager, will it kill a custom wifi driver that I installed from source? [06:09] hello I am looking for some help installing an audio driver for my Zotac Ionitx-g-e synergy motherboard I have the instructions but they aren't very detailed [06:09] Roasted_: Okay, you shouldn't need too. [06:09] CalicoJack: yes, youll need to recompile the driver [06:09] is there a way to tell what packages are inside a virtual package? [06:09] CalicoJack, I don't think so. But back it up anyway [06:09] here is my pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2pVGDmW0 [06:09] Roasted_: thats a nice little number. Where you guys work? heh [06:09] Roky, school district. [06:09] maco Sam_Fisher, i'm getting two different answers here >.< [06:09] Roasted_: I see the need for urgency. heh [06:09] Roky, were hoping to use this 1 server for all 7 schools. [06:09] bullgard: well...i cannot successfully connect to websites,google works fine(it maybe because its ip is cached),and certain others like facebook too work good [06:10] Roky, well we were using standard WPA2 security [06:10] maco I think you are right, though. Thank you for your help. [06:10] Roky, but high school students tend to get slick with the tools they find on the internet - couple that with usb flash drives and bingo bango - they can dig up the key without too much effort. [06:10] bullgard: i just cant connect to other websites,i'm guessing its a dns issue? [06:10] Roky, so were hoping to take the key out of the equation with hardware authentication (this is where the network admin comes in and I tend to step back) [06:10] Roasted_: Try WPA + RADIUS? [06:10] Roky, I'm just involved cause of my huge linux interest :P [06:11] how do i make a folder not need root privelages? [06:11] Roasted_: I'm 21 and in college. I used to be one of those high school students you're thinking of. :) [06:11] i know its chown, but i forget how to make it work [06:11] Roasted_ : well the radius server will support 128bit WEP rekeying every N seconds...sooo doubt your kiddies are that smart. lol [06:11] BinaryMan, I honestly cant tell you if we had or not. Weve done a lot of different things, but all of the radius options have had the same problem - after 30 days, they dont reauthenticate and need to be plugged in to re-authenticate properly. This is a known bug with MS Radius - which is why we dumped it in hopes of using freeradius (something users say works better anyway) [06:11] aravind__: I also believe that this is a DNS issue [06:11] BinaryMan, I hear ya - Im 24 years old and been @ this place of work for just over 2 years now. I was one of those little punks too :P [06:12] How do I see what IP my laptop is using on the wireless? is it eth0? Or should I look somewhere else? [06:12] BinaryMan, it gives me an advantage, in my opinion. My relatively young age in the field working in a high school is a unique combo since I tend to be quicker to pick up on potential security holes than others since it wasnt long ago I was in those shoes. [06:12] chanmode "+mnsdt-k" does this mean invite only [06:12] kiamo, right lcick network manager - connection information, OR in terminal run ifconfig [06:13] Roky, hahaha yeah, good point. [06:13] Roasted_: I know exactly what you're talking about. [06:13] Roky, anyway, I take it youve set up freeradius before? Or are you just familiar with it? [06:13] kiamo: ifconfig [06:13] I was playing with Linux before I was a sophomore. [06:13] Roasted, ifconfig only displays ethX connections [06:13] BinaryMan, I almost feel like a jerk though - its like a big brother feeling. Muahaha! Security hole plugged! *sad high schoolers faces* [06:13] Roasted_: I should let you guys know that open radius is fairly complex. And not knowing how to configure it properly could lead too disastrous results. [06:13] isnt that just for ethernet, or does the wifi use that as well? [06:14] kiamo: No, it doesn't. It'll list all network adapters, even virtual/pseduo ones. [06:14] Roky, we're setting this up while letting our current security in place, so if it backfires, we can pull the plug and revert to what we've been using. [06:14] Roasted_: I have played with it a few times. Some friends of mine use it and have configured it multiple times. They call me in to "test" it xD [06:14] Roky, we're reimaging all laptops this summer, so what'll happen is we'll set up 2 SSID's in the mix with the proper settings. If the freeradius bombs on us, we just disable that SSID and the laptops re-vert accordingly. [06:15] I know the basics of the configuration. But after that your kind on your own bro. [06:15] Roky, I'm all about backups and plan B/C/D's :P [06:15] BinaryMan, I only see eth0, eth1, and lo. The wifi will be one of those then? [06:15] i installed lmms by compiling it (i wanted 0.4.6) but it didn't work correctly. how do i remove it. sudo make uninstall doesn't work [06:15] kiamo, mor ethan likely its eth1 [06:15] Roasted_: You need to be in a world like this. hehe [06:15] Roky, so anyway, I know I need kerberos, samba, and mysql - right? [06:15] ok, thanks :) [06:15] along with freeradius of course [06:15] hello guys.. Wine menu on my application menu has been disappeared.. ive open menu editor but its missing in there too.. how to make it re-appear on application menu ? [06:15] wpasupplicant as well [06:15] kiamo: Probably eth1. [06:16] thanks guys :) [06:16] Roky, thats not installed by default? [06:16] kiamo: iwconfig will tell you which is the wireless adapter. [06:16] freezway: are you invoking that comand inside the lmms folder? [06:16] command** [06:17] Roasted_: It might be, It's been awhile since I have used Ubuntu to be honest. But it's more the program your interested in that Ubuntu. So it's not much differant. [06:17] I'm on Arch Linux as of the moment.

Because of where I am I have to use https://prepay.snap.net.nz/ [06:25] They don't have instructions for linux and their support team were unhelpful when I emailed them.

[06:26] but now when i type lmms into the terminal i get bash: /usr/local/bin/lmms: No such file or directory [06:26] brb [06:27] freezway: open a new terminal, or type ''hash -r'' [06:27] freezway: the latter will make bash 'forget' its hashed location, and look it up again. === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:28] freezway: also, note that lmms may have dropped files in other directories of /usr/local === Chimera is now known as Guest26350 [06:28] not necessarily just /usr/local/bin/lmms === downstre1m is now known as downstream [06:29] how 2 download latest wine in ubuntu [06:30] is it possible to run a symbol table by copying it to the from a web page and pasting it to OpenOffice word processing cause the web page i copied it from is 3 pages long and it's still running like it's trying to execute the ELF?

[07:24] Zeu5: I've gotten help with probs at the #ubuntuone channel before. [07:24] explorealex, None really, network simulation software is hard to get by.

[07:39] hi! after boot i seem to be lacking wm: no title bar, shortcuts not working, only one desktop. metacity --replace fixes this temporary (until reboot). i wonder what it might be. [07:39] hi [07:40] I have a problem, but it is about Lubuntu [07:40] hello, when i type man emacs on my ubuntu i've got information about JOVE. what package i really nedd if i want to use the pure GNU emacs without no GUI? [07:41] well, when I safe-upgrade my system, and then restart, my PC freezes and show me a black screen, looks like it was suspended.

I have a parallel cable with Laplink 5 running on it and WinXP Pro/Ubuntu on the other computer. Is there a Linux program or method that is compatable with Laplink's protocol? [07:44] quiritius: I would look up Launchpad for this error. [07:44] how to share clipboard between this desktop session and ctrl + alt + f1 session? [07:46] Flannel: i found this package emacs21-nox. is it right? if yes, what will happen with this JOVE that i see when i type emacs? i mean should i remove it or it will be replaced with the new one? because the binary should be with the same name - "emacs". [07:46] I have tried using WinXP's Direct Cable Connection but haven't had much luck. I'm hoping the Ubuntu/Linux community has another solution (as they usually do). [07:47] asfjio: emacs21 if you want that version, there's also emacs22-nox and, depending on your Ubuntu version, may be emacs23-nox as well [07:49] Hi all. [07:49] abhinav_singh: I guess you'll need to install 'screen'. [07:50] Flannel: understand. what will happen with the old one that i have this JOVE interpretation of emacs or whatever it is? i mean because i have this /usr/bin/emacs but when i run it it says JOVE ...? [07:50] Is the ubuntu keyserver down? [07:51] asfjio: It'll be configurable, if you want to get rid of that other version, uninstall it. what will happen is the /usr/bin/emacs file will symlink to the other one (/usr/bin/emacs21-nox, for instance) [07:52] is there any way by which we can restrict file copying from our machine? [07:52] Flannel: got it. thank you very much for your time. [07:53] how to change mouse pointer lucid 64 bit? [07:53] hi, I can't write to #radeon or #xorg channel (:Cannot send to channel ) .

Is there anything else I can do? [07:58] jimlovell777, It'll work nicely together. [07:58] jimlovell1777, dont worry... it handle very well [07:59] Sorry, didn't mention what I have... Ubuntu 10.04 [07:59] just don't accidentally wipe your windows 7 [07:59] what steps did you do Achr? [08:00] have you modprobe the bcm? [08:00] cpf, kruzztee: Thanks. I just had bad memories from when I tried with Vista and had to try some weird windows tool that always seemed to mess everything up and make me start over. [08:00] I've tried over 10 pages worth of suggestions. All from fwcutter and just taking the .sys file. Done ndiswrapper by blacklisting bcm43xx and followed those steps too. [08:01] Even a complete reinstall just in case it was a problem with the installer. [08:01] have you use the Hardware Driver program? [08:02] I have no hard wire into the desktop atm. So everything is downloaded via laptop on a USB stick. [08:02] And no, when I goto that, I get an error [08:02] Saying...

[09:37] Jordan_U: No. Note: The subject is dpkg. [09:38] red2kic: Fair enough [09:38] bullgard: A trigger is a way to keep from doing the same task over and over when installing multiple packages, when it only needs to be done once. [09:39] My DNS seems to be cached. If I use dig to make the DNS request I get the correct answer back from the correct nameserver, but if I use curl or a browser it says cannot resolve host [09:39] Any idea what could be doing this? It's a fairly clean install of 10.04 [09:40] bullgard: For instance, if you are installing 5 packages that need "update-initramfs" to be run before they will work, those packages can use a trigger so that instead of running update-initramfs directly in their postinst scripts, they register a trigger and update-initramfs is run when all five packages are otherwise completely configured. [09:40] Jordan_U: Your answer is wrong. This morning Update manager repeatedly displayed a »post-installation trigger« message. [09:40] Also, the site works for others. [09:41] Here goes the reboot... [09:41] aaa [09:41] bullgard: Can you give the full context of the message?

See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [10:04] see above JonathanEllis [10:04] bullgard: When plymouth gets upgraded it will probably need update-initramfs to be run, so it will register a post-install trigger for update-initramfs. If you also get a kernel update, that kernel package will also register a post-install trigger for update-initramfs (because it doesn't know that one has already been registered by plymouth). After both packages are otherwise finished installing, that update-initramfs trigger [10:05] bullgard: So registering a trigger is asking that some action (in this case update-initramfs) be performed, and processing the trigger is actually performing that action. [10:06] JonathanEllis: Maybe you can ask the man in charge. I don't know. Use cable grommets to make things look nice. :o [10:07] du [10:08] JonathanEllis, the mainline kernels do not have many ubuntu patches and will break stuff [10:08] Jordan_U: Ah! Excellent! Thank you very much for your explanation and help. [10:09] weird problem: after upgrading to 10.04, my network interface is known as wlan1 instead of eth0.

[10:12] Jordan_U: I cant run any version higher than Hardy. My graphics adapter stopped working when I tried [10:12] red2kic, now i'm at ubuntu software center. I wantto remove some application to gain free space.. but I dont know which one and I dont see any size state there..

I do get an address offered from the server, but after that there are DHCPREQUEST messages on the client, followed by new DHCPDISCOVER messages and ending with 'No DHCPOFFERS received'. [10:15] eoke, thanks :D [10:15] <[Neurotic]> Quick question guys - is there a command to work out the name of the current X display that is running? Or even just list the names of the X displays that are available? I'm trying to send firefox to a particular display through 'firefox --display=0', and I can't work out where to send it. [10:15] Jordan_U: Yes. It took ages to get that working (http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=797&sid=a2008ef8840e4d109e28735551b169dd). Trouble is I was a bit limited for cards as I only have PCI slots, not AGP or PCI Express. Its an old computer [10:16] xev: I'm still not sure it'll give you what you want as each package has dependencies which might not be used by anything else so removing the parent package means you remove the dependencies. [10:16] Jordan_U: And I remember reading there was no driver for anything later than Hardy [10:16] [Neurotic]: well unless specifically statd it is a sequence :0 :1 :2 etc ...

[10:16] hi [10:16] JonathanEllis: VESA should always get you something, but I assume that when you say it's a dual head card you actually want to be able to use dual displays. [10:17] Jordan_U: Yes [10:17] eoke, sorry, I dont understand that url. [10:17] MasterZuFu: "dpkg --get-selections | less" [10:17] btw, how do I see my free space?

[10:18] JonathanEllis: The problem is that upgrading your kernel will probably break your Matrox setup. [10:18] erUSUL, the program 'dh' is currently not installed. [10:19] xev: df -h [10:19] Jordan_U: Its starting to look like running a cable through the wall is going to be my quickest way to get working. Its a desktop machine anyway so it makes more sense for it to be a wired connection and there is much less to go wrong. [10:19] erUSUL, thanks :) [10:19] Jordan_U: I was alternatively thinking about using ndiswrapper and a windows driver but that looks complicated [10:19] xev: "dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -k1,1n" however remember that a small package may depend on a very large one so it's not really going to tell you what you need to know. It'll just tell you the size of the package itself rather than the package and all of the dependencies it requires. [10:19] [Neurotic]: try :0.0 [10:20] space avail 315mb [10:20] gosh [10:20] <[Neurotic]> erUSUL, no go, but thanks [10:20] Google Earth in Jaunty/LTS is f*ed Up. Does not work displaying ground like it should [10:20] [Neurotic]: try « DISPLAY=:0 firefox & » [10:21] nikolam, watch the language [10:21] [Neurotic]: all of this is for a local machine [10:21] What do you think one should install to use GoogleEarth right on Lucid/LTS [10:21] After installing Ubuntu Server 10.04 x64 the system seems to randomly boot with a blinking cursor and no login-prompt. During one time it did boot, I managed to remove 'quiet' from /boot/grub/grub.cfg, after reboot I got this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hR2467fB . After pressing the front resetbutton, as it was unresponsive to CTRL+ALT+DEL, I then got this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zbQFEntp . I think it is a hardware problem, because it is ra [10:21] bazhang, I am putting ****`s, right [10:21] JonathanEllis: What are you going to do in a year when 8.04 is no longer supported on the desktop? Do you think you'll have different hardware by then? [10:21] <[Neurotic]> erUSUL, trying to get Selenium Web Tests to run [10:21] [Neurotic]: if you are trying to launch it throuh a network you need to specify the hostname too [10:21] Jordan_U, 8.04 is supported [10:21] nikolam, still not acceptable. [10:21] Jordan_U, till 2011 i believe [10:21] Jordan_U, 3 years for a LTS release [10:22] <[Neurotic]> erUSUL, trying with a local machine, but can't manage to get that [10:22] bazhang, well, anwer the question about google earth please [10:22] indus: I know, re-read my comment :) [10:22] <[Neurotic]> erUSUL, then will move onto another tty console [10:22] For reference, the problem I was having with DNS lookups was avahi [10:22] Jordan_U, ah hehe ok [10:22] nikolam, try addressing the channel without the profanity [10:22] I had to change my /etc/nsswitch.conf to say hosts: files dns [10:22] nikolam: Good luck trying to get Google Earth working. I tried and gave up. It was particularly irritating as I paid for the high res version of Google Earth. I emailed google earth support and got no response even when I asked for my money back. Annoying [10:22] kbye [10:23] bazhang, why you are atacking me personally? I just wanted to know what people think abou Google eart. Can you handle that [10:23] Jordan_U: I guess I will have to burn that bridge when I get to it. Can't afford to buy a new PC and laptop just now [10:23] Jordan_U: And the choice of hardware is bewildering [10:23] JonathanEllis, so rightg now you have a wireless which doesnt work ? [10:23] indus: Thats right [10:23] JonathanEllis: What happens when you boot from a 10.04 liveCD? [10:23] JonathanEllis, I tried with several versions of google eart. Previously (on 8.04 LTS and 9.10) worked quite right. [10:24] hi. i have a problem with wine + ubuntu screensaver. spotify will stop playing music when screensaver starts. i jhave ubuntu 10.04 and all updates [10:24] nikolam, you can file a bug with google for google earth , did you know [10:24] JonathanEllis, I am thinking now of using older release of google earth and wondering where to get it [10:24] nikolam, i have tried earth for many ubuntu versions and it jsut hangs [10:25] Jordan_U: Not tried it. As I say, there is no graphics driver later than Hardy. I remember trying the Karmic LiveCD and the screen didnt work [10:25] indus, yeah, you are right [10:25] indus, worked for me till 9.10 [10:25] JonathanEllis, driver for what ? graphics? [10:25] nikolam: NO idea where to get it. I just use googlemaps.com and do screen captures [10:25] indus: Yes no graphics driver for Matrox G200 beyond Hardy [10:26] indus: And it took so long to get that working I am reluctant to start again [10:26] JonathanEllis, oh NO. I was just planning to put new LTS to an Older computer with matrox G400 maybe 400 is ok [10:26] xev: If you haven't already it may be worth seeing what large files or folder you have in your home directory "du /home | sort -nr | less" the bigger the number the bigger the file/folder. Only delete files folders if you know what they are. [10:27] nikolam: http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=748 [10:27] eoke, I just installed ubuntu [10:27] I dont have my personal file. [10:27] How big was the drive you installed on? [10:27] 3gb only [10:27] ubuntu netbook [10:27] JonathanEllis, is it a proprietary driver ? [10:28] nikolam: There is no driver for any G series cards later than Hardy Heron as far as I know [10:28] hi, i pasted all errors here: http://lfitz.bravehost.com/nfs-error.html with a descriptions of my NFS problem [10:28] xev: Ah I missed that bit [10:28] I think, its better ask you if I can uninstall this application or not.. [10:28] saba / perl ? [10:28] JonathanEllis, I have issue with free driver for radeon on new Lts, to. AMD refused to make supported driver for integrated graphics, beyond 8.10 and now I have 12 FPS instead of 50-70 FPS with Hardy/losed drivers etc [10:28] samba* [10:29] basically, the paths defined in /etc/exports dont support NFS but the are ext2 [10:29] again, http://lfitz.bravehost.com/nfs-error.html :) [10:29] JonathanEllis, oh. so after Hardy, one can use.. console and X forwarding... [10:29] indus: Matrox basically gave up supporting linux for these old cards. They have released a newer driver for P series cards I understand. I am using the unoffical driver from tuxx-home [10:29] Hi there, im using epiphany for something(email). when i click print, it opens the new window showing the contents to print, it only does this first time, second time i try and print, it doesnt. all other pcs are ok with this, its just the one. Any ideas please? [10:29] JonathanEllis, is there no open source driver for this card? also. isnt the matrox g 200 like 15 years old ? [10:30] nikolam: Matrox basically gave up supporting linux for these old cards. They have released a newer driver for P series cards I understand. I am using the unoffical driver from tuxx-home [10:30] indus, i think it IS open source, i have 400 i think [10:30] Hi everyone, I am facing issues connecting to internet on Ubuntu 10.04. I have tried everything, but nothing is working. Is there anyone who can help me in pm ?? [10:30] waseem, best to ask here [10:31] !pm | waseem [10:31] waseem: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [10:31] nikolam, so do these cards work out of the box on ubuntu ? [10:31] indus: No idea how old the card is. Yes the tuxx driver is open source. I'm limited to what cards I can use as I only have PCI slots, no AGP and no PCI express [10:31] see i feel asking one expert rather than following 10 opinions [10:31] indus, worked on g400 on Hardy. Did not tried after that on that machine. Will do it in a day or two [10:31] how do I open a port in ip tables === limsi_david is now known as LIMSI_david [10:32] waseem, give as many details as possible, if someone knows they will help [10:32] JonathanEllis, then i recommend Jordan_U's idea of trying the 10.04 live cd and see how it works [10:32] JonathanEllis, do u have enought ram [10:32] I have just installed a caching DNS server which works locally but no clients can reach it [10:32] indus, I think it have something to do with changing kog graphics cards work with newest kernels. That brake some things. [10:32] i think port 53 needs opening [10:32] nikolam, ? didnt understand some words [10:32] How to turn saved mp3 streams into regular mp3 files? [10:32] can i run a script in background such that even if i log off it keeps run and when i come back i can still make it come in foreground? [10:33] nikolam: My experience is that G200 did not work out of the box. http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=797&p=5252#p5252 There is lots of info on that site that may help you [10:33] !pm > waseem [10:33] waseem, please see my private message [10:33] ok ubottu [10:34] heh hehe [10:34] so polite people are [10:34] indus: I dont think the graphics will work since there is no driver beyond Hardy for the G series cards. I have 1GB of RAM. Who knows if that's "enough" but its the maximum my motherboard will take [10:34] I think I didn't word my question very well earlier... I want to downgrade gdm from 2.28 to 2.20 so I can use all the old GDM themes. Does anyone know how to do this? [10:34] aha ok, JonathanEllis at me, G400 did work with 8.04 [10:34] reeniginEesreveR: you can execute the script and add an ampersand or script nohup [10:34] JonathanEllis, how do you know for sure there is no driver , if it is open source, then it should exist [10:35] I've found several guides, but they're all for Karmic and I'm worried that I'll screw something up. [10:35] beyond hardy also [10:35] ThatGuyOverThere: Tbh, I don't spend my time admiring the GDM theme. I have it autologin so I can get to the intertubes faster. Do the same? [10:35] JonathanEllis, but i see your link and seems you have done your research [10:35] MaRk-I, when add an ampersand, it keep running in background but if i logoff the process gets terminated as well [10:36] red2kic: I'm just that much of a control freak. I have to customize it. :/ [10:36] reeniginEesreveR: then try "nohup" [10:36] indus: I suppose I dont know for sure but I remember problems even getting my onboard graphics to work with Karmic let alone the Matrox. When I read http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=748 I just gave up trying. I think drilling a hole in the wall and running a cable may take less time than trying to upgrade. [10:36] JonathanEllis, so just try with live cd then, its surely worth it [10:37] JonathanEllis, if it works etc, then good [10:37] indus: Fair enough [10:37] ThatGuyOverThere: Is it worth breaking something? :) [10:37] indus, but it needs to be maintained to work with newer kernel etc. Partially rewritten, etc. Linux kernel does not provide binary backward compatibility for drivers. and newer kernels just, say, changed that way they connect do graphics driver part. So we can Better behaving in the future. I support noone should care too much for so old hardware. I care and therefore I think only solution is to use older Stable kernel distros for tha [10:37] t hardware that works and are suported etc. [10:37] i made a full installation wiping out Win7. I first tried to first connect with wired connection. It does not recognize my ethernet. [10:38] Hi, i've problem with my google searchengine in Firefox. I am from Czech but my google searchs in english language. Know anybody where is file with preferences of google searchengine?Thanks [10:38] red2kic: Eh... It's worth a possible risk of breaking something... But then everything I read said that installing BURG could break something too... [10:38] red2kic: My point is that I'm careful. [10:38] waseem, open a terminal and type ifconfig do you see eth0 ? [10:38] reeniginEesreveR: "nohup blascript &" [10:38] since my laptop has it's whole hard drive encrypted, I thought I would set it to automatically log in, but it always pesters me about unlocking the gnome keyring on login... I don't want to enter my password twice every time I turn on the computer [10:39] reeniginEesreveR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup [10:39] no it does not show eth0 [10:39] nikolam, i understand [10:39] hi guys, I've setup svn on a local server, and started using it and the directories I'm using it on are now unusable. Files time-out or take upto 30 seconds to open [10:39] kazagistar: Then don't use any encryption on your keyring. [10:39] is there a blatent configuration I'm missing out? [10:39] waseem, paste.ubuntu.com the output of lspci please [10:39] !paste > waseem [10:39] waseem, please see my private message [10:40] red2kic: could that be a security flaw on a single user laptop? [10:40] waseem, copy output of lspci to that address in the box provided, then click on send and give the url here [10:41] kazagistar: You have it set for login automatically. That itself is a security flaw. When you don't use encryption, the Wifi password and among other things will be stored visibly on ~/gnome* [10:42] (ie human readable). === joerg is now known as Guest6165 [10:42] indus, the problem is that i m chatting from a different system & ubuntu is on some other system & on that system there is no network [10:42] how shud i send that output? [10:42] red2kic: I like being able to log out when I tell it to, and the whole "Guest User" system for letting friends use it securely.. but when I turn it on, it instantly prompts me for a password, and the entire hard drive is locked until I enter it, so I dont see the problem with afterwards allowing 1 free login [10:43] hi all can yyu please someone tell me how can i edit boot orr grub i have 3 times ubuntu kernel plus recovery mode [10:44] when i boot in -) [10:44] thnx [10:44] #mysql [10:44] Tricks, this tutorial explains howto open a port in iptables: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-12-how-to-block-or-open-dnsbind-service-port-53.html [10:45] kazagistar: That's fine. Whatever floats your boat. Look for Encryption + Keys. Delete the keyring so you can generate a new one and leave the password blank (unsecured). Then you won't be pestered for extra password.

[10:46] jerry, didng got you [10:46] jerry you can easily drop the recovery option by editing /etc/default/grub (#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true") followed by, in a terminal sudo update-grub [10:47] jerry just remove the # [10:48] got it thank you !!!

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

[11:02] I have ran nmap to see what services are listening and there's no port 53 I can see ??? [11:02] Tricks: did you scan udp? [11:03] Tricks: Then you need to configure your nameserver to listen on the interface which serves the clients. [11:03] indus: Jordan_U: Thanks for all your help. I'm just off to buy some cable [11:04] hi to all [11:04] how can i list only directories with 775? [11:04] Tricks: I'm guessing it is listening on *only* the loopback address.

I had already tried ~/.nautilus/extensions-2.0, but it didn't have any effect. I'm not going to sit around guessing directories it might be checking.

Shouldn't those two default to all hosts anyway unless otherwise specified? [11:57] Tricks: Yeah. Just making sure you didn't just copy/paste what I have. I use ACLs because my nameserver is on a public-facing network and I don't want to provide name resolution to the world! :-) [11:57] :) [11:57] hmm [11:57] Tricks: I also have it firewalled appropriately so it's realy a non-issue but I still have the ACLs defined.

[12:02] rob_p it's working! that was so much easier to setup than samba I didn't think it's be that easy [12:03] Tricks: Ah,ha! That would be your ACLs set to allow localhost only! That would do it!

[12:20] basically i set this up so my samba share will function correctly with hostname [12:20] I am unable to connect using ssh, could someone tell me whats wrong, this is the command: ssh -C 202.xxx.xx.xxx -p 22 -L 5900:10.xxx.xx.xxx:5900 -l pat [12:20] !ot | dannbrown [12:20] dannbrown: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:21] matteo1990, xterm is just an ugly version of the gnome terminal [12:21] wizard_: before adding sources in general you should read about apt [12:21] anyone know how to upgrade firefox in lucid? [12:21] dannbrown: sudo apt-get install firefox? [12:21] its not a good idea to use such functions if you dont even know the basics - take that just as a good hint ;) [12:21] odb|fidel, ok [12:21] Tricks: There are tons of tutorials on bind9 zone file creation. Not sure I could do any better explaining it than what you'd find with a few Google searches. [12:21] how to uninstall sofware using root account [12:21] indus, if i try to login with xterm like with the other modes i get totally blank screen [12:21] rob_p ok mate thanks again and you have a nice day [12:22] ubuntu51, sudo [12:22] my firefox cant restart [12:22] Tricks: I'd be glad to assist if you get stuck, however. :-) [12:22] i think lucid is bad than karmic?? [12:22] matteo1990, hmm did you try ctl atl f2 or f3 [12:22] rob_p that's reassuring to know :) thanks again. hope work doesn't drag too much for ya :) [12:23] indus, yea... blank screen :S [12:23] matteo1990, can you reboot into another older kernel [12:23] so, any ideas on the sound problem? Sound is stopping from wine programs when screen saver gets on. also native linux programs will get a short silent moment when the screensaver gets on [12:23] Tricks: I love my job! I get paid while I sit here frequenting the Ubuntu support channel! :-) [12:24] matteo1990: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [12:25] !apt | ubuntu51 [12:25] ubuntu51: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [12:25] rob_p i have to admit I'm supporting a range of ubuntu and centos webservers and they never give me any hassle. It's the windows clients that cause the trouble [12:25] rob_p: same here, esx is fine. VM hosts running win 2003 give the grief [12:26] rob_p I think I've had to restart mysql on one server once cause it crashed and that's all I've had to do lol [12:26] hi, what's wrong with this? sudo mount -o remount,noatime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid,nouser,data=writeback /dev/sda6 ? It says "mount: / not mounted already, or bad option" [12:26] ActionParsnip, Thx alot :) I'll give a look :) [12:26] phretor: you havent specified a mount point [12:27] ah, damn it [12:27] unless fstab had an entry for /dev/sda6 [12:27] Tricks: CentOS is solid. I use it for a VOIP gateway device for 2-way radio comms. It's been very reliable. [12:27] phretor: the mount point must exist too, its not mounts job to make mount points [12:27] ActionParsnip: I am remounting / [12:27] phretor: / will always exist :) [12:28] thats a lot of options to be using also. :) [12:28] Dr_Willis: what's wrong with their numerosity? [12:28] rob_p same here we have asterisk running on it never gone down, never been rebooted all i have to do it login once a month to clear down the call recordings [12:28] phretor, yeah dont need that many options [12:28] Dr_Willis: noatime is ood for speed boots (a tiny bit) [12:28] phretor, i have mounted partitions just with vfat [12:28] indus: I do need all of them. [12:28] phretor, or whatever [12:28] phretor, ok [12:28] ActionParsnip: I have a handful of servers running on a Vmware server host. They are most Ubuntu VMs but I've got a couple of other flavors runing as well. [12:28] phretor, better add it to fstab then [12:29] rob_p: we virtualise a lot of citrix and web boxes [12:29] indus: I cannot reboot. [12:29] ActionParsnip: Sounds pretty slick. [12:29] rob_p centOS 100% uptime in over a year, windows host would probably be about 80% [12:29] checking in again for the query ? [12:29] rob_p: its good fun but they are crappy IBMs so don't reboot properly on schedule which mean I gotta button the suckkas [12:30] Tricks: I run Asterisk on one of my VMs under Ubuntu. Rock-solid thus far. [12:30] phretor: most of those options i think are the defaults anyway [12:30] Dr_Willis: not noatime [12:30] phretor: so you need one option then? :) [12:30] ActionParsnip: Yeah, sometimes you have to deal with crappy hardware. Software can only do so much! [12:30] well remount and noatime. [12:30] Dr_Willis: at least that, but I'd rather be sure all the others are applied. [12:31] rob_p: last job used some new dells and they were flawless :) [12:31] Good Day, [12:31] Im not even sure what 'nouser' even does [12:31] I need help installing my W/C card [12:31] ActionParsnip: Dell seems to have a nice server product range. [12:31] rob_p: one acronym: DRAC [12:32] John1010: whats w/c ? water closet? [12:32] :) Wirless card [12:32] so you want to install a wireless card card? [12:32] is this the right place to ask ? [12:32] ActionParsnip: Yeah. Out of band management is *very* handy! [12:32] sure if you are using ubuntu [12:33] well i am using backtrack 4 which is based on ubuntu [12:33] John1010: please dont abbreviate things unless they are defacto standard abbreviations [12:33] John1010: its not supported here [12:33] !bt4 | John1010 [12:33] !backtrack [12:33] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

[12:35] Dr_Willis: dont assume the IQ level [12:35] its an honest question [12:35] I just open the chat and select the channel then i clicked on it [12:35] thanks for those who want to help [12:36] Aciid: i was just wiondering if backtrack is so good that they dident bother to change their default channels for their chat programs.. :) [12:36] I'm looking to switch from Windows to Ubuntu, but have one question: Will Ubuntu handle some core drivers automatically like Windows? Like, will it recognize a mouse when I plug a mouse in, and any needed drivers for the hardware on my PC? [12:36] Aciid: or if he actually selected #ubuntu [12:36] Dr_Willis: i doubt it ;) [12:37] ActionParsnip: lets go file a bug on the backtrack forums/bug thing then. ;) [12:37] arkhe: Most common things, yes. Less common things, maybe. [12:37] Dr_Willis, lol :D [12:37] Dr_Willis: yeah i hate that, I've actually seen the discussion at bactrack and aircrack related channels. 90% is "does it run on windows" "will my wireless dongle work" "how do I shoot the wep" [12:37] Dr_Willis: never uderstood it, you can install ubuntu then instal all the garbage which makes up a backtrack install and get support in the official cannel. [12:37] rob_p I have had a look on the net and found a few example zone files [12:38] IRC should be disallowed by morality Default before you have actually researched by yourself [12:38] rob_p I'm planning to save a few personal files, then wipe my hard-drive. I just want to make sure that if I tried to install Ubuntu on a clean HD it will work. So I shouldn't have problems with that plan? [12:38] arkhe: Nearly all mice, keyboards, sound cards, network interface cards (wired), usually just work. [12:38] Aciid: people are essentially lazy [12:38] arkhe: You don't even have to do that! Simply boot-up to the live CD and give it a test run! [12:38] Okay. Thanks. :) [12:38] arkhe: Welcome! Good luck! [12:39] arkhe: make sure you backup all the hidden files in $HOME and you will retain configs [12:39] ActionParsnip: I have lost all fate in humanity [12:39] Aciid: not faith?.... [12:40] hi, some quick questions. How do you set runlevel 3 when there is no inittab and is there an easy way to manage what starts in different runlevels? like chkconfig on redhat systems? [12:40] Tricks: Yeah, pretty straight-forward. Just keep in mind that the syntax of pretty much *all* config files for Bind9 are very particular. [12:40] !runlevels | h-kan [12:40] h-kan: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [12:40] Hi all ! I've a question for you guys: Why did ubuntu still perform a complete check disk from times to times ? i though that the need of complete check disk disappeared with ext2 [12:40] Aciid: the saying is lost faith, not fate [12:41] Tricks: It's very easy to leave out a {, }, or a semi-colon, etc. [12:41] seasonfive: what ws eliminated was the fsck after unclean shutdwon ( power outage ) no the periodic fsck performed every 30 mounts or so [12:41] seasonfive: man tunefs [12:42] rob_p, the only part that's a little confusing is that there's alot of reference to a TLD being used but in my case this isn't necessary because I mine is local [12:42] erUSUL, thanks. But i though that ext3 has a fast recovery thanks to its journal ? [12:42] rob_p, do I leave that stuff out? [12:42] can some one please guide me about my post on ubuntu mailing list https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-July/222568.html [12:42] Tricks: Yeah. You can make one up if you like. [12:42] erUSUL, I mean i think i never had trouble reported by this periodical check [12:42] Tricks: I think it will complain if you leave it out. [12:43] seasonfive: yes; that has nothing to do with periodic shceduled sanity checks that you can disable if you want [12:43] seasonfive: i advice you not to; btw [12:44] can some one help me to Announcement of Translation Team and other Guideline Details [12:44] rob_p, ok cool, what's it used for then? Is it for large domains where there will be more than one DNS servers? [12:44] ubottu: tnx. is there any frontend for !upstart than or how does it know what to start? [12:45] erUSUL, thanks for your answer. Do you have an idea of what errors can be discovered this way ? I though ext3 was near unbreakable (in regards of data inconsistency). Is it more a hardware check ? [12:45] Tricks: I never bothered with name resolution of local hosts. But I do recall seeing examples of local only zone files floating around the 'Net. [12:46] Tricks: What's what used for? The TLD? That [12:46] Tricks: That's what the zone is going to define. [12:46] seasonfive: maybe an alpha ray comming from space flipped some bits in your no ECC RAM ( so no error detected or correctd) that affected filesystem metadata ..... :) [12:46] !upstart | h-kan [12:46] h-kan: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [12:46] kaushal: you could at leaast summarize the issue - if you excpect anyone to go to a site to discuss it. [12:46] h-kan: ubottu is a bot :) [12:47] seasonfive: i do not find a chack every 30 mounts that cumbersome; you can up that number ( say do the check every 40 - 50 mounts ) [12:47] NigelS: i noticed that now ;) [12:47] Tricks: So you make up a local domain and then create the zone file for it. [12:47] rob_p found a good thread so i'm going to read through that :) [12:47] erUSUL, But then what about servers wich "never" reboot (so never remount) ? [12:48] Dr_Willis: will summarize the issue === tachyon is now known as Guest21635 [12:48] Tricks: Ok. Have fun! I'm sure it will make more sense as you become more familiar with it.

I ask that only to know "why its needed". Though modern file system didn't need off-line check (perform error recovery "on fly" when possible) [12:51] ActionParsnip: i'm only saying that *typical* server hardware has ECC RAM as opposed to *typical* pc hardware [12:51] erUSUL, you were really patient :-p Thanks a lot for all your answers [12:51] how do i install a web server on my machine? [12:51] erUSUL: possibly ;) depends on many factors, but its offtopic here [12:52] seasonfive: (perform error recovery "on fly" when possible) <<< that's not true. what ext3 did by adding a journal was avoiding the fsck after unclean umount; that and *only* that [12:52] kaushal: some tools are using MiB these days instead of the old MB. and 5% of a filesystem is normally reserved also (tuneable with the tune2fs command) [12:53] !lamp | joobong [12:53] joobong: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

I plugged it in and I did a "lsUSB" and my modem was shown there, but I dont know if Ubuntu installed it or not... It needs to connect via PPPoE... Do I need software that i need to install or what?

[13:12] mikelifeguard: right click the file select open with, its all tere [13:12] seasonfive, lots .. like I was saying, since the libc updates on lucid just the other day, now suddenly my machine hard freezes for no reason :) [13:12] seasonfive, there's no segfaults, nothing in the logs [13:12] thank you bazhang [13:13] seasonfive, not even if I remove and plug in USB hardware does it interrupt [13:13] seasonfive, or if I let it run for an hour [13:13] blue_anna, from what i know, nothing crash without logs. Sounds like hardware/driver problem more than libc related. But i can be wrong :) [13:14] seasonfive, hmm -- well like you pointed it, it isnt technically crashing. it's freezing [13:14] but it just keeps on freezing all day long :P [13:14] blue_anna, So everything was fine, then installed this new libc, then just after everything froze ? [13:15] shortly after, its been like 3 times now that it's frozen [13:15] hello [13:15] the most recent was just this morning -- as soon as I logged in and connected all my internet apps [13:15] blue_anna, cpu temperature ?

There was an update yesterday to fix this. [14:45] ImportError: No module named libhash [14:45] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all ! [14:45] iksik: I'm glad I don't have 10.04 in production! [14:45] can anyone reccomend a stats program that will let me open minitab *.mtw files? [14:45] Anarchy7: Is the wireless still acticated _after_ the reboot? You can deactivate the wireless card from within the Desktop [14:45] blablubb, do i need to make a entry for lingray.uk to point to my name server do you think? [14:45] Pici: Will do! Thanks for the heads up! [14:45] koskos, try #python [14:46] <^mNotIntelligent> couple of days back i did dist-upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 now still have those old tray icons, thought they would be upgraded to the new one in lucid...can some one help me in this [14:46] rob_p AND 9.10 ? :-) [14:46] blablubb: I right clicked and I see wireless enabled ... also the wireless light is ON , on my computer [14:46] rob_p: It was also bugged in 9.10: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2010-July/001117.html [14:47] koskos, http://www.ibiblio.org/g2swap/byteofpython/read/ [14:47] Tricks: Ok, I thought that lingray.uk was your domain. You shouldn't use existing toplevel domains like .com .uk. Use something like .mine or .internal (not .local) instead. [14:47] koskos: The python help channel is #python [14:47] koskos, if the module is not in your namespace, it wont import for custom modules [14:47] blablubb, ok no worries [14:47] koskos, there is no standard module called libhash [14:48] md5 [14:48] ? [14:48] maybe [14:48] sha this name ? [14:48] blablubb: yes the wireless is still active ... [14:48] koskos, indus: This isn't on-topic for this channel. #python would be the best place to continue this conversation. [14:48] i tryied to install this to hash brother but i dont get any [14:49] python [14:49] Anarchy7: Try iwlist scan on the console. Did you do any updates before the reboot? [14:49] Pici, ya i told him [14:49] sha1 and md5 are two different methods to do the same type of hash, the two hashes however are not the same [14:49] I just installed wubi 5 mins ago [14:49] fresh ... [14:49] koskos: I think you should learn python first. [14:50] yes this my dream [14:50] :) [14:50] learning learning untel i die [14:50] is good [14:50] koskos, subscribe to python tutor mailing list , its very good [14:50] koskos, start from www.python.org [14:50] how can I remove the ubuntu logo in top panel? [14:50] bad english:( [14:50] done [14:50] its my big problem [14:50] guys, is GTK+ available from Ubuntu repo ? i tried 'apt-cache search gtk+ | grep gtk+' but no luck.. [14:50] om26er: You mean the logo on the appklications menu? [14:51] om26er: why would you want do it? [14:51] Just a quick question. Can I use a SD card instead of a USB pendrive in order to trial run Ubuntu? [14:51] Dr_Willis, yes [14:51] Interface doesnt sipport scanning [14:51] i learn english frist [14:51] hotfloppy, its installed default and is an essential package i believe [14:51] Pici: All patched now! [14:51] then python [14:51] azurephalanges: not all machines can boot from SD card. [14:51] perl [14:51] Anarchy7: So you saw the wireless networks on Windows? [14:51] Misterio, cuz top panel dont resize to 22px [14:51] frist bash [14:51] Netbook I'm looking at, basicallu [14:51] info !GTK-2.0 [14:51] then python then perl [14:51] iksik: Yeah, the latest updates fixes the vuln. [14:51] om26er: that logo is gnome's theme logo [14:51] and my USB pendrive is deader than a dodo [14:51] !info libgtk2.0 [14:51] Package libgtk2.0 does not exist in lucid [14:51] blablubb: no on ubuntu just 5 mins ago on my first boot, I even tried to connect to one of them [14:51] om26er: ubuntu-tweak tool can let you change it. not sure about deleting it.. and there is some quirk where changeing it only works with some themes. [14:51] ergo, SD card option [14:51] !info libgtk2.0-0 [14:51] libgtk2.0-0 (source: gtk+2.0): The GTK+ graphical user interface library. In component main, is optional. Version 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 2455 kB, installed size 5944 kB [14:51] is that good thinking [14:52] !info libgtk2.0-0-dev [14:52] Package libgtk2.0-0-dev does not exist in lucid [14:52] WHY is it optional i think [14:52] !info libgtk2.0-dev [14:52] libgtk2.0-dev (source: gtk+2.0): Development files for the GTK+ library. In component main, is optional. Version 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 3679 kB, installed size 14920 kB [14:52] isnt gtk required [14:52] indus: no [14:52] Anarchy7: Ok, did you run any upgrades that caused the reboot? I'm trying to figure out if an update could have broken the wireless. [14:52] hmm i thought that draws all the windows [14:52] rob_p just downloading it now ;] [14:52] in laymans terms [14:52] Dr_Willis, I could try using a smaller icon with ubuntu-teak maybe that will work [14:52] indus: Windows aren't required to boot the OS. [14:52] hello [14:53] rww, i mean after desktop [14:53] om26er: make an icon thats the same color as the panel :) [14:53] !hi | dubey [14:53] dubey: 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! [14:53] indus: http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-priorities [14:53] iksik: It was an eye opener to see it first-hand! :-) [14:53] rww: I think indus meant drawing windows.. as in.. the application space. [14:53] indus: the graphical desktop is also not required [14:53] Dr_Willis, u-tweak says the icon should be 24x24 :( [14:53] rystraum: I know what he meant. He's confused about package priorities. [14:53] rystraum, you understood me correct :) [14:54] blablubb: I just clicked edit connections and then it asked me something is trying to acces ... I said allow only once and then it kept me asking forever, I said deny, closed it a little bit difficult after a few times deny deny deny ... and then the networks werent there after the reboot [14:54] om26er: so? make a blank 24x24 icon. :) [14:54] erUSUL , rww: so, the package name is libgtk2.0-0 or libgtk2.0-dev ? which one should i get to implement GUI in my program ? [14:54] Ranjan: Thanks a lot man.... [14:54] i am using ubuntu 10.04, when i tried to update my os e.g # sudo apt-get update i am getting GPG error and some error saying that Failed to fetch http://x.x.x.x [14:54] om26er: make it totally transparent. :) [14:54] now I clicked always allow but nothing changed ... [14:54] rww, you mean on the desktop install, its not mandatory? [14:54] indus: Package priorities have nothing to do with whether something is mandatory for the desktop install [14:54] hotfloppy: you need the -dev package to be able to program agains the library ( it has the header files and all the stuff ) [14:54] indus: consider actually reading the link I gave you === gb_ is now known as GaMeBoY [14:55] erUSUL: thanks :) [14:55] is there a straight forward way to capture dv video via firewire on ubuntu? [14:55] what is the problem [14:55] rww, who is talking about package priorities [14:55] anyone had success doing that? [14:55] hotfloppy: if you are using C. if you use some other language you need the correct bindings [14:55] indus: you, when you expressed surprise about ubottu saying "is optional" [14:56] Anarchy7: That was the password manager that saves the wireless passwords. You should "always allow" the network manager to access the password manager. [14:56] Anyone knows how I can turn off the IRC status changes (entering, leaving, etc.)? It [14:56] !resetpanel [14:56] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:56] Installing new machine now. [14:56] rww, ah yes , i read the link , but optional is meant in a different sense [14:56] indus: that's what the bot means; it has optional package priority [14:56] rystraum: totally depends on your irc client [14:56] rystraum: depneds on the irc client [14:56] Anarchy7: Let me have a look how to restore that. [14:56] Hello. Still having trouble with my graphics card. I have every driver under the sun compatible with my graphics card installed. When I go into System -> Administration -> Hadrware Drivers and click "Activate," the application downloads and then just hangs. Anyone else having this problem? [14:56] anyone ? [14:56] ... Stupid ENTER key. I was supposed to type I'm using Pidgin as my IRC client. [14:56] indus: not when ubottu says it in !info listings, it doesn't [14:57] erUSUL: if i'm using, lets say code::block, do i need to do the binding manually ? [14:57] rww, if you read my comment , i said its essential from a desktop perspective, not what a package priority means [14:57] hi people, i'm configuring my gmail with evolution client, but i can't set it up to only delete mails from the server if i delete them locally. [14:57] hotfloppy: code::block is for c++ isn't it ? and it uses wxwindows not gtk+ ? [14:58] indus: You asked why libgtk+ is optional. The only message that used the term "optional" before you was ubottu. I was explaining why ubottu said it was optional. [14:58] Enter text here... [14:58] anyone good at ubuntu [14:58] tuliohm: You're using an IMAP connection? [14:58] rww, ok [14:58] rww, thanks [14:58] like fixing mic wise [14:59] hotfloppy: i expect the instaloing the codeblocks package install all the needed libs to program with it [14:59] sorry, bout spamming messages will be much longer since i got bandated [14:59] !info codeblocks [14:59] erUSUL: not sure myself.. just start to learning..

[15:00] Alright, I do get an error with the Hardware Drivers install. I looked at the log file and this error keeps popping up: [15:00] WARNING: modinfo for module fglrx failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module fglrx [15:00] rww, but my question is, on a desktop install gtk will be required or not [15:00] Damien: When you say you have capture turned up and you can hear it, is that on Ubuntu? [15:00] Damien123: What application are you using to record? [15:00] hotfloppy: install the mentioned libgtk2.0-dev [15:00] fglrx is another module at some spots. [15:00] Damien123: Audacity? [15:00] indus: GTK+ is installed by default on Ubuntu Deskop, yes. [15:00] erUSUL: okay.. thanks.. [15:00] yes 9.10 [15:00] alsamixer, with pulseaudio [15:01] tried original sound record too, and kmix [15:01] Damien123: What application are you using to record? [15:01] ActionParsnip, hi , but also gtg so bye, good day [15:01] indus, rww: I think you're talking about the term optional in two different context (rww in package management and indus in desktop) and thus miscommunicated. [15:01] audicity is a sound recorder, and the orgi [15:01] Damien123: Try Audacity [15:01] yes [15:02] rystraum, yes, but rww wants me to be correct :) [15:02] no levels [15:02] what is your favourite movie player in ubuntu? which one plays all of them and how to install it ? [15:02] whatsoever [15:02] ubnuntu_giant, which ati graphics card do you have? [15:02] ok i have to go [15:02] bye [15:02] Damien123: No levels? where? [15:02] indus, rww: sory to both of you.. i should state 'gtk+ for development' :P [15:02] BluesKaj, ATI Radeon HD 5100. [15:02] Anarchy7: Try VLC. [15:02] ok [15:02] hotfloppy, eh you are the culprit :D [15:02] in audicity or in the volume control and the regular recorder [15:02] any one using gyachi? [15:03] hotfloppy, ah the dev libs === roo0t is now known as bihari [15:03] but the mic works i can hear it [15:03] roo0t, dont use it, its old , unsupported, but ubuntu has a ppa [15:03] bihari: The previous Pidgin? [15:03] indus: lol [15:03] where to get fresh source.list file for ubuntu 10.04 ? [15:03] ppa? [15:03] Damien123: alsamixer # What sound chip does it show? [15:03] pidgin does not support voice chat in rooms [15:03] hotfloppy, yes package exists to install to lucid i think, one fella called lloeb maintains it [15:03] realtek alc861 [15:03] If anybody is interested in learning about the Ubuntu LoCo Directory project, please join #ubuntu-meeting [15:04] indus what is ppa?

[15:04] yes i got it now [15:04] ActionParsnip, good day, got to go now so bye [15:04] Damien123: so that's the one that's in the computer? And is that the only one in it? [15:04] rww, thannks for the link [15:04] blablubb, just realised I didn't have the full stop after each hostna,me [15:04] R3cur51v3: free -m and df -h [15:04] hotfloppy, did you get the package name ? [15:04] yes its integrated [15:05] but i have installed that gyachi but the problem is that it does not suport voice chat in yahoo rooms [15:05] Anarchy7: Have look here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2008-November/015392.html [15:05] dubey: i can give you mine if you want [15:05] !info libgtk2.0-dev [15:05] libgtk2.0-dev (source: gtk+2.0): Development files for the GTK+ library.

[15:05] ActionParsnip : yes, pls. [15:05] bye [15:05] Damien123: And audacity will not record from mic? Is it just that mic is muted or turned down to low? [15:05] Tricks: You don't need a full stop. If there isn't one, bind will add what is after "ORIGIN" to the hostname. [15:06] got all set right [15:06] weird I switched to windows and no networks here as well :S [15:06] had to mute "line" [15:06] but, i tried it low too [15:06] dubey: http://pastebin.com/itqCvevU [15:06] even tried mic boost scripts or something [15:06] Damien123: Well, I dont know then. There may be a problem with your implementation of audacity [15:07] from sypnatic [15:07] well can i tell what my pc is without opening it [15:07] blablubb: I dont understand how will this help ? I cant see them on windows as well now ... [15:07] so no one is using gyachi === joerg is now known as Guest4822 [15:08] Anarchy7: Hardware problem? [15:08] Anarchy7: You're right - if you don't even see the wireless networks on windows anymore, than the problem is not related to the password manager. [15:08] i think ubuntu have to take certain step for this problem coz large no of user using yahoo clint for chating [15:08] it was working 5 mins ago ... [15:08] cannot connect to internet using my mobile. [15:08] Damien123: Your pc "is without opening it"? Can you elaborate on that just a bit? [15:08] what type of thing im plugging my mic in [15:08] im not sure if it needs realtek [15:08] Is there a how-to on how to make a bootable linux system in the command line without all those fancy tools? [15:08] arunkumar413: Is your mobile running Ubuntu? === ellis is now known as Maletor [15:09] blablubb, ah ok thanks for that, so how does bind know where lingray.internal is? I get this error: localhost_resolver/lingray.internal/IN: bad zone [15:09] Isn‘t it possible to make a bootable memory stick with dd and fdisk? [15:09] barfster: Make your own Live CD without GUI tools? [15:09] rystraum: no,i wanna use my mobile phone as a modem [15:09] man i sound better than lil wayne [15:09] this blows [15:09] rystraum: Yes, please, all those icons and all that crap confuses me [15:10] one person on earth could explain, i can use blender ftw, looks better than quake but more like runescape but guess what [15:10] no sound.. [15:10] bihari: isn't there an 'offcial' yahoo messenger for linux that supports it? [15:10] barfster: Ctrl-Alt-F6 [15:10] barfster: use the minimal cd and only install the minimal system, you can build from there === jcdury is now known as dury [15:10] from the mic anyway [15:10] usr13: That's not particularly helpful. [15:10] ActionParsnip : getting GPG error [15:10] blablubb, shouldn't there be a DNS entry so any requests made to lingray.internal goes to my internal DNS server [15:10] hello :) [15:10] Tricks: In the named.conf (or somethimes named.conf.local) you tell Bind that it is reponsible for lingray.internal and where to find the zone file. There should be a paragraph starting with "zone "lingary.internal" in {" [15:11] yes there is no one which supports voice chat in rooms [15:11] dubey: ok whats the error? [15:11] rystraum: What exactly are you wanting to do? [15:11] ActionParsnip: Now we are talking :-) [15:11] rystraum: You said you wanted just command line? Right? [15:11] blablubb, ah so that's how bind knows [15:11] ActionParsnip: You are suggesting I should use the MiniCD and install on the memory stick? [15:11] barfster: if you want to go even lower, use gentoo [15:12] ActionParsnip : http://pastebin.com/spam.php?i=6ZDixrsX [15:12] usr13: barfster wants to make a bootable external device via CLI. [15:12] And the memory stick should then be bootable from anywhere? [15:12] Tricks: Yes, the clients know by asking their nameserver. Which in this case should be the same machine where your bind is running on. [15:12] rystraum: Ok, sorry. I missunderstood. [15:12] barfster: theres a minimal iso (12mb) you can install and get just a boot loader, kernel and some modules with a few commands [15:12] <_genuser_> Hello People. [15:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305958 [15:12] this can be the reason ... [15:12] bafster: Unetbootin has command line options. [15:13] <^mNotIntelligent> hi !

[15:13] ActionParsnip: That is my regular install CD :-) So that one I know. [15:13] and for the record, the ability to boot from external devices would depend on the BIOS settings of the particular computer.

[15:15] hmm [15:16] erUSUL: I get "No such file or directory." -- after a bit of Googling, it seems like it might because it's a 32-bit binary [15:16] martian: that's the old maintainer (or the original) it's been forked [15:16] erUSUL: I'm on 10.04 server (64-bit) [15:16] lhavelund: could be you have to install ia32-libs [15:16] lhavelund: that would be why, then [15:16] lhavelund: could be; you have to install ia32-libs [15:16] * lhavelund installs ia32-libs :) [15:16] thanks, erUSUL [15:17] How can you view the files included with a package listed in synaptic?

Example: "ps aux | grep gnome-*" should show all processes that has "gnome-", in its name. === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [15:51] phretor: zombie processes are unkillable becouse they are already death [15:51] how do I get rid of them in the process table?

[15:52] phretor: you can not. ( you can try killing the parent process to force it to reap its childs ) [15:52] erUSUL: ok, I will kill the partent. [15:52] phretor: if the parent process is init ( that means the parent process was already killed ) then a reboot is the only way [15:53] erUSUL: I managed to kill the parent and they went away.

[15:55] th1, I believe one is named "imagination: [15:55] th1, I could be wrong however since I dont do dvd authoring [15:55] M4mb0K|nG: you will never get a feature-update in a repo just security fixes [15:55] !info imagination [15:55] imagination (source: imagination): DVD slide show maker.

[15:57] yeah drbd is built-in to the 2.6.33 and up [15:57] i just didn't want to go through the hassel of compiling it in myself [15:58] How can I quit the installer after baseinstall, but still run GRUB`?? [15:58] its much nicer and more reliable when its built right in [15:58] hello, I am still having problems with my connection [15:58] M4mb0K|nG: its also build for older kernels like 2.6.26 and 2.6.30 if i am correct [15:58] also supported [15:58] Anyone has some spare time to help me out with this? [15:58] M4mb0K|nG: have a look at a ppa or backports for 2.6.33 [15:58] machete: perhaps you should explain your issue first before we can help you :P [15:58] I found some article and disabled ipv6 but still doesn't work [15:58] machete, whats the problem ? === gdb_ is now known as gdb [15:59] after update I cannot load web pages [15:59] I'm trying to build the drbd kernel module on ubuntu 10.04 with module-assistant and it comes back with 'Build of the package drbd8-module-source failed!' and an empty log file, any idea what might be going on there or where I might look? [15:59] machete, what is happening ? [15:59] connection time out [15:59] Note: despite requests to be as specific as possible, machete's approach of asking a really general question often results in a plethora of offers to help. [15:59] machete, are oyu on this machine right now ? [15:59] firefox and epiphany don't work [15:59] In debian I used to be able to run tasksel [15:59] yes, I am on this maching [15:59] Anyone have any experience doing a dist-upgrade of Ubuntu 9.10 -> Current with ispconfig configured/installed already? [15:59] machine [15:59] lol [16:00] machete, so TCP/IP must be working ... you are using IRC... Have oyu tried a different web browser ? [16:00] yes [16:00] machete, try lynx [16:00] epiphany [16:00] and it doesn't work [16:00] I have been trying to get PSX games to emulate on my PSP (I have the original games here, and I'm ripping them to ISO for me to use - and no one else!) [16:01] machete, do you have a firewall setup with a transparent web proxy ? [16:01] darksider: this is #ubuntu [16:01] whitor, nothing [16:01] iceroot, oops..sorry i thought it was another server [16:01] and I cannot download stuff neither [16:01] machete, you are downloading IRC data right now :) [16:01] I cannot use synaptic same issues [16:01] iceroot, i have 3 servers open and didn't realise i was on the wrong one + wrong channel. [16:01] iceroot, please don't spank me =[ [16:01] machete, it seems like your port 80 communications are being filtered somehow [16:02] well, I am telling you I cannot use the software manager nor apt-get nor synaptic [16:02] machete - backup your entire config folder (for instance - mv ~/.epiphany ~/.ephiphany.old) and then erase your config folder for that program (i.e., rm -rf ~/.epiphany) and then open the app again as it will be able to start with default settings. Do not mistype the rm cmd as mistakes can be rather costly. [16:02] Is there a how to of the menu options in the installer? [16:02] See if the browser works with default settings upon completing these steps. [16:02] Particularly interested in if there are any hidden options [16:02] machete, have you installed any firewall software recently? [16:02] Hello, I had a question or two about the bug tracker and recommended operation. This also indicates that I have a problem I'd like to have fixed/worked on. [16:03] barfster: What installer? [16:03] ubuntu installer [16:03] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluefish/+bug/158891 [16:03] i have changed my internet connection from proxy to direct connection. Despite changing all the options I could not install packages using apt-get install [16:03] barfster: Which one? The graphical one from te Live CD? [16:03] I installed on an old laptop now, and it takes like hours to install a command line system === ziz_ is now known as arigateau [16:03] No, Ubuntu Mini [16:03] This issue(how to invoke a browser from another application) effects a lot of applications. [16:03] whitor, nothing [16:03] snr1: Begin troubleshooting your connections to each and every source location listed in /etc/apt/sources.list [16:04] I really don’t need the stuff after base install completes. [16:04] I didn't do anything crazy, I just updated [16:04] andyltm: [16:04] ok [16:04] barfster: how much RAM this laptop has? [16:04] machete, does lynx work ? [16:04] It should therefore have some documentation attached to it, like a maintainers guide. [16:04] I couldn't get lynx [16:04] "Select and install software" is an extra distance AFAIK [16:04] I told you apt doesn't work [16:04] how can I detect if my cpu / installation is 32 bit [16:04] machete: You are connected to FreeNode IRC Network using the same machine that fails to function using apt/web browsers? [16:04] uname -a returns: Linux btiernay-pc 2.6.24-27-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 24 10:04:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [16:05] machete: what version of ubuntu? [16:05] The first question is, where is this maintainers guide and does it spell out the correct syntax? [16:05] out of curiosity [16:05] barfster: You'll want to look at the debian-installer package then. That is what powers the text based installers. [16:05] CaptainTrek, good question, thanks [16:05] Whitor: :) [16:05] andyltm: How to do the troubleshooting ? [16:05] Pici: But it’s all menues right after GRUB loading [16:05] Whitor: can i /query you? [16:06] bobbytek2, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-find-if-processor-is-64-bit-or-not/ [16:06] CaptainTrek, yes [16:06] whitor I did as you told me about erasing the .mozilla folder [16:06] and it still doesn't work [16:06] The second question is, my application got it wrong, is there a way I can close this bug or attach my app to it? [16:06] machete, I didn't tell you to erase any folders ... that was someone else [16:06] s/close/clone/ [16:06] snr1: Some very simple ways to test would be to take a url from your sources.list and plug it into your web browser. See if it works. If it does, it is not a connection/network/routing issue, and instead, may be an issue with your system configuration, most likely, specific to apt. [16:06] barfster: your cdreader on that machine likely has dirt on its lens [16:06] CaptainTrek 10.04 [16:06] abhi_nav: it doesn't specify in uname though [16:06] ... [16:06] snr1: If it does not work in the browser, then the next step woudl be to see if you can even ping the source server. [16:06] It’s a Compaq Aramada M700 [16:07] bobbytek2, that surly means you didnt completly read that guide. [16:07] machete: and you say apt-get doesnt work... [16:07] mmestnik: I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but at least for the second part the best place to ask would be #ubuntu-bugs [16:07] well, anyways, I did it and the default config was reatored [16:07] yes I say so [16:07] I cannot download lynx [16:07] snr1: If that fails, then the next step woudl be to run a traceroute and see if there is something blocking. If there is something not reachign then it is a temporary routing issue. If it does not fail then there may be some sort of issue with the ports/firewall. [16:07] barfster: Okay? Maybe I misunderstand what you are asking then. [16:07] machete: was this a clean install or an in-place upgrade [16:07] !enter | machete [16:07] machete: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:07] barfster: also you should have at least 64MB RAM on it to get install [16:07] in-place [16:07] abhi_nav: well, the uname portion I did [16:07] Pici: Thank you. [16:07] and there is no indication of word size [16:07] bobbytek2, that is what i said naa. You didnt read 'complete' guide. [16:07] Compaq Armada has 128MB RAM [16:08] machete: in place. okay, from what version did you upgrade might I ask? === ^mNotIntelligent is now known as Guest22471 [16:08] 10.04 [16:08] abhi_nav: How do you figure I didn't? [16:08] bobbytek2, in second they have talked about 'lm' flag [16:08] machete, is your computer plugged directly into the internet with no router between you and the big fluffy cloud? [16:08] I know I have lm [16:08] Pici: in debian I was able to select which packages to install, in Ubuntu it just selects a predefined range. [16:08] but that doesn't imply the OS version [16:08] nope, I am wireless [16:08] machete: erm... not what i meant. Did you have an older version of Ubuntu installed before 10.04 [16:08] machete: try this url, please: http://91.189.90.40 [16:08] bobbytek2, you question was how to find cup is 32 or 64 bit? [16:09] * CaptainTrek sighs, then assumes that machete has a borked upgrade install [16:09] nope, I installed 10.04 directly [16:09] andyltm: they are fine with browser [16:09] machete, if oyu are wireless, you are probably going through a wireless router with is probably also a firewall. [16:09] machete: okay, then in future, that's NOT an in-place upgrade [16:09] "how can I detect if my cpu / installation is 32 bit" [16:09] Installation was there too [16:09] snr1: Ok, what is the error when you type a command, such as - apt-get update [16:09] ohir, it displays an error [16:09] machete: what Whitor said is probly right... [16:10] machete: what was the error? [16:10] The requested url could not be retrieved [16:10] barfster: So you're looking for a way to customize the installer so that you can select packages? [16:10] andyltm: [Connecting to 172.31.1.4 (172.31.1.4)] [Connecting to 172.31.1.4 [16:10] machete, if possible, can you take the wire coming in from the internet going into your wireless router, and plug it directly into your PC ? As a temporary test... it will tell a lot of things [16:10] Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect. [16:10] machete: does this error came from avocado.connonical.com? [16:10] cannonica* [16:10] whitor, ok [16:10] Where are the menus stored on Ubuntu? I want to find out which program System->Administration->'Startup Disk Creator' runs and I'm not running a suitable desktop! [16:10] andy:that was my previous proxy server [16:11] ohir, it doesn't say [16:11] snr1: Have you tried removing the proxy settings? [16:11] machete, you might need to reboot to get a new IP once you make that cable move [16:11] Araneidae: run alacarte and find out (or right click menu button, then 'edit menu') [16:11] machete, or restart your networking (... but rebooting seems more reliable im past experiences here) [16:11] andyltm: yes, i have tried removing the proxy settings [16:12] Araneidae: no idea, but I happen to know that the answer's "usb-creator-gtk" [16:12] For my first question, I was wondering what the correct syntax was? I know that many applications work "some what well", like evolution gedit thunderbird xchat. [16:12] machete: http://157.166.226.25 [16:12] Pici: Yes [16:12] machete: it points to cnn.com [16:13] VCoolio, that's pretty good: works just fine :) [16:13] Pici: tasksel or newer package select, there used to be something called dselect [16:13] snr1: Hold on, I'm looking on Ubuntuforums for a solution that is better than http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282100 because THAT would really suck lol :P [16:13] rww, thanks, I found it by grovelling through synaptic! [16:13] machete: if you will see cnn.com site, your problem is with misconfigured dns servers [16:14] The utility used by my application is part of the gnome-bin package that's not currently installed. As other applications work I think I'd rather have everything use the same logic otherwise the differences will drive me mad. [16:14] Will command line expert install allow for such? [16:14] Or is that just alot of annoying questions? [16:14] snr1: Is there a file with "01proxy" at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ ? [16:14] hi, i'm using 9.10. Is there any way to upgrade a particular package? [16:14] machete, is your ISP filtering your port 80 requests ? [16:15] I wish to upgrade svn to > 1.6.2, actually 1.6.6 which isn't available in the repo. [16:15] machete, do you have another computer ? [16:15] machete: if you can not connect, your traffic is blocked. Either by your provider or by parental control/misconfiguration on your home router [16:16] snr1: Here is the solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014755 :D [16:16] Hello. When I try to play a high def AVI file with VLC it freezes or it flickers. Any help, please? [16:16] barfster: This might be a good place to start looking: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [16:16] Machete is gone [16:16] andyltm:thanks ..:) [16:16] amikrop: so it freezes? [16:16] hi again [16:17] I don't remember who was helping me [16:17] monochrome: yes [16:17] machete, move that cable ? [16:17] amikrop: does vlc freeze or the video [16:17] machete: if you can not connect, your traffic is blocked. Either by your provider or by parental control/misconfiguration on your home router [16:17] monochrome: video (not the sound behind) [16:17] but when I plug the cable directly to the computer it doesn't even connect [16:17] amikrop: i know that [16:17] machete, did you reboot ? [16:17] yes [16:17] Pici: Are you telling me that I have to edit the optical media itself? [16:17] monochrome: so, could you help me, please? [16:18] amikrop: i think its the video card [16:18] maybe I'm stupid,... but how come this happened right after I updated [16:18] machete, are you sure you moved the correct cable ? [16:18] amikrop: what card are you using [16:18] grub: only if there's a backport available (looks like there isn't, at first glance) [16:18] Hum. `usb-creator-gtk` produces one message: "Installation failed." [16:18] machete: are you connected to irc through the computer that is having web connectivity issues? [16:18] yes whitor, I am 100% sure [16:18] I even rebooted the modem [16:18] I have no conectivity issues [16:18] andyltm, he is [16:18] Vroomfondle: that sucks. So I gotta compile? [16:18] bobbytek2, if your uname -a contain x86-64 then os is 64bit otherwise not [16:18] machete: can you connect to http://157.166.226.25 [16:18] I have an extra computer with ubuntu 9.10 which works just fine [16:19] monochrome: nVidia GeForce FX Go5650 [16:19] ohir, it connected to cnn [16:19] machete: so look for misconfigured DNS [16:19] grub: ah, there is a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~svn/+archive/ppa [16:19] machete: Then your DNS settings are off... [16:19] much newer packages [16:19] hi all, I'm running firefox 3.6.6 and after the upgrade through the update manager flash videos do not appear. For example a youtube video page simply remains white where the video should be. Has anyone else experienced this? [16:19] abhi_nav: thanks :) [16:19] looks like karmic is supported by one of them [16:19] machete, so, Modem-------Computer does not work at all? [16:19] machete: Please view /etc/resolv.conf and replace it with better NS. [16:20] machete: either your router's dhcpd lies, or you have bad /etc/resolv.conf [16:20] ohir, its not DNS ... he can't connect via ip either [16:20] machete: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 4.2.2.1, etc. are great NS servers for public use. [16:20] bobbytek2, hmm [16:20] Whitor: machete> ohir, it connected to cnn [16:20] I changed that a likie half an hour ago cause somebody suggeted it and still have issues [16:20] thanks Vroomfondle! [16:20] grub: what about this ppa https://launchpad.net/~svn/+archive/ppa [16:20] Vroomfondle: i'll give it a try :) [16:20] Are ubuntu seeds germinated using apt-get or aptitude? [16:20] grub: ah, someone beat me [16:20] VCoolio: yep, Vroomfondle just linked ;) [16:20] what do I do now? add nameserver 8.8.4.4 to resolv.conf ? [16:20] ohir, my apologies ... it looks like it must be DNS [16:20] anyone know how to change /root to 755 and if that will damage my ubuntu system? [16:20] fixed by disabling VLC plugin [16:20] VCoolio: thanks though :) [16:21] andyltm: many ISPs block not their DNS servers [16:21] ohir: Ooh, I did not know that. That is mean restrictive. :o [16:21] andyltm: in many countries isps are forced to do so [16:22] what do I do so the changes work? I just checked resolv.conf and the changes I had done aren't there anymore [16:22] 8.8.8.8 doesn't appear [16:22] machete: They were modified by the dhcp client. [16:22] anyone know how to change /root to 755 and if that will damage my ubuntu system? [16:23] what should I do? [16:23] hao do do [16:23] machete: start with copying /etc/resolv.conf from that other (workin) machine [16:23] is it not advised to install red hat packages via alien on ubuntu? [16:24] bobbytek2, no [16:24] machete: next check your home router settings [16:24] !rpm | bobbytek2 [16:24] bobbytek2: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [16:24] machete: dns addresses come from dhcp assignment [16:24] machete: Ok, you have several options. [16:24] hi, anybody know what ports, i need to open(trigger and normal, i have ADSL bridge) to play badcmopany 2? [16:25] machete: 1) You could create or find a daemon that monitors any changes made to resolv.conf and immediately replaces with the original settings. (Rating: Moderate-Hard) [16:25] GonardFreeman: 27015 TCP for steam i think, probably more [16:25] machete: check your ISP yell forums about preffered DNSes [16:25] ohir there's not such thing [16:25] anyone know how to change /root to 755 and if that will damage my ubuntu system? [16:25] machete: 2) You could install resolvconf and set your settings in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base (Rating: hard) [16:26] i have non steam, but licence game [16:26] machete: as resolv.conf or router? [16:26] machete: The #2 thing, though, can be made much simpler if you go through your apt sources.list and change every DNS to an IP OR... [16:26] machete2: you can add each source to your /etc/hosts file so they autoresolve using that... and thus will not require nS [16:26] what about just replacing my resolv.conf for the one which works ini the other computer? [16:26] rootperm: shouldent break anything. but why are you needing to do this? [16:26] machete: Finally, a simpler option may be to modify the NS settings in your actual router which may be easier. [16:27] Dr_Willis: i need a non-root program to access a directory in the /root directory [16:27] machete: you can do it. It will get overwritten each time dhcp sets it [16:27] machete: As I had explained above, using resolvconf can free you from the DHCP client changing your /etc/resolv.conf [16:27] When I'm use the keyboard to switch between workspaces the active window on the workspace I'm on gets dragged along to the next workspace. Where is a setting that controls this? I've never seen that happen before. [16:27] rootperm: I cant imagine why - but 755 will just give read permissions i belive. Unless the app is ran as root. [16:28] machete: And in order to install/download resolvconf, all you need to do is either change all the hostnames in the sources.list to IPs or add everyhostname from sources.list into your /etc/hosts so they autoresolve w/o need of external NS. [16:28] Dr_Willis: okay, thanks (couldn't move the files, they are in use) [16:28] machete: you should though figure out real cause of disappearing resolv.conf [16:28] rootperm: you an always use links 'ln -s' :) [16:28] andyltm but I cannot use synaptic [16:28] machete: Actually, I am an idiot. [16:28] andyltm but I cannot use synaptic [16:28] ?? [16:28] machete: Just temporarily put your resolv.conf back (with nameserver 8.8.8.8) [16:28] Dr_Willis: i'll have to pick up a book at the library for that [16:29] machete: run sudo apt-get update - and then sudo apt-get install resolvconf [16:29] machete: synaptici will work with ur temporary resolv.conf right? [16:29] I think he will be back.. after breaking his system badly.. :) [16:29] apt-get install resolvconf [16:29] machete: the short way is to copy working resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf.working and put 'cp /etc/resolv.conf.working /etc/resolv.conf' in your rc.local [16:29] wait what is synaptic, aren't u using aptitude neway btw lol [16:30] What's the fastest way to shrink the partition ubuntu is running on [16:30] GonardFreeman, what is steam? [16:30] I need help with preventing a device from being identified as hidraw [16:30] machete: i think my short way would be a one-time filesystem hack... "sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf" ... it cant be deleted if its immutable [16:30] i.e. without downloading the latest ubuntu release, burning it, starting it up... [16:30] andai: live cd with gparted. is the best way ive found. [16:30] machete: yes, apt-get will work once working ns are to be found [16:30] on Lucid 2.2.6.32-22-generic [16:30] How can I stop the active window coming along when I switch workspaces? [16:31] andai: you normally dont resize in use partitions [16:31] ohir, apt-get just worked [16:31] Dr_Willis: Yeah. What's the fastest way (i have crap internet) to a Live CD [16:31] abhi_nav: this is service for game [16:31] maco: good tip [16:31] games* [16:31] andai: thers 10mb live cd's you can install gparted on. [16:31] GonardFreeman, is it paid service or free? [16:31] machete: Ok, now that you have installed resolvconf, please use a great TXT editor like nano and type 'nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d./base' [16:31] machete: int htat file that is where u can put the ns settings u want to always use [16:31] andai: tinycorelinux and it can download/instasll gparted as needed. ubuntu live cd may have it allready also. (or can install it to ram) [16:31] Tried to ignore it modprobe.conf, modprobe.d and /etc/udev/rules.d ... nothing works... [16:31] ¿ÉÒÔ´òÖÐÎÄÂð? [16:31] Greetings! [16:31] Dr_Willis Hmm.. i'll try tinycore [16:32] Dr_Willis: Does tinycore have a GUI? :P [16:32] andai: you are on wired or wireless networking>? [16:32] I'm runing squid 2, dansguardian and sarg [16:32] abhi_nav: program, not paid, but games u need to purchase) [16:32] andai: it has X. yes. [16:32] GonardFreeman, ok [16:32] Dr_Willis: LAN [16:32] sarg works without a hitch, but sarg-reports doesn't seem to generate a thing. [16:32] abhi_nav: how u address messeges to me?) [16:32] andai: wired should work fine. It dosent come with any wireless drivers. :) thats part of why its so small [16:32] !tab | GonardFreeman [16:32] GonardFreeman: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [16:33] Dr_Willis lol if linux is smaller than wlan drivers :D [16:33] !tab | abhi_nav testing) [16:33] abhi_nav testing): You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [16:33] andai: wireless drivers package for TinyCore is like another 20 mb. [16:33] :D [16:33] :) [16:33] Dr_Willis Does it install to USB? [16:34] ahh it does [16:34] i'm so stupid( [16:34] thats why you are here. :) [16:34] ))\ [16:34] * abhi_nav was joking [16:35] haha [16:35] were i can find manual? [16:35] !manual [16:35] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [16:35] or FAQ [16:35] GonardFreeman, ^^ [16:36] For what it's worth, for me usb-creator-gtk fails miserably and without any error messages, but unetbootin worked just fine. [16:37] i know good place with many FAQs : google.com) [16:37] !google [16:37] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [16:37] :P [16:37] hello everyone! [16:37] ubottu, hear bloody hear ! [16:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:37] Dr_Willis: [ insert curse words here ] !!! Tinycore booted in like 5 seconds [16:38] Dr_Willis: I need something more like this for my mum's crappy laptop (more like this than like ubuntu) all she uses is Firefox anyway [16:39] +_+ [16:39] how to open the noip2 gui, when I run sudo /usr/local/bin/noip2, it says cannot locate config file!!, [16:40] andai: its handy. but You have to learn how to use it. [16:40] is there any kind of tool i could use to detect what wireless accesspoints are nearby my system? [16:40] andai: its got a different sort of design goals then most disrtos [16:41] Dr_Willis: haha it's downloading like all the gnome dependencies just for gparted [16:41] because i'm trying to find an alternative access point to connect with, and I cant find any (the system picks the strongest signal, which also happens to be having issues with my bandwidth) [16:41] hi guys - iam trying to join Eterm channel - but i cant - do you know how ? [16:41] CaptainTrek, yes there are. wifi radar and rutil wlan manager [16:41] andai: thats how it works. You could of used 'parted' and the command line [16:42] yehia, which channel? [16:42] abhi_nav: are either in the repos, or can you tell me where to download/purchase? [16:42] * GonardFreeman think get it0 [16:42] abhi_nav : Eterm [16:42] CaptainTrek, they are there in repo. search in ufc. [16:42] yehia, you mean #eterm? [16:42] * GonardFreeman fibd good manul [16:42] abhi_nav: yes [16:43] but its seems now body there :) [16:43] yehia, yes i checked no body there. what this channel is about? [16:43] !pm | GonardFreeman I am also testing: [16:43] GonardFreeman I am also testing:: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [16:43] thanks abhi_nav, i'll take a look at those [16:43] CaptainTrek, hmm [16:43] GonardFreeman, :P [16:43] its some other enviroment for linux [16:44] !enlightment [16:44] Eterm is part of the Enlightment 'desktop' stuff. :) [16:44] ok [16:44] Gents, I require som help with the MySQL server on Ubuntu Server 10.04. Feel free to PM me if you're willing to help. [16:45] I have two folders in home/user: .mozilla-thunderbird and .thunderbird Both have mail in them and all the rest of it. Which one do I actually need/use? Changing Chrome in either of them does nothing... ;-) [16:45] Does anyone know any software like norton ghost that runs in linux, but IS NOT a live cd? I need something installable [16:45] Cheaterguy: why not keep your question(s) in the channel? More eyes to watch = probably better result [16:46] !pm | Cheaterguy [16:46] Cheaterguy: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [16:46] Cheaterguy: you try #mysql? [16:46] FireTalon: theres several 'drive cloning' tools out there. you could een use 'dd' depending on your needs [16:46] Cheaterguy: If you want private help, ,please be ready to pay $$ :) [16:46] venik, i remember i only copied the one starting with .mozilla thats what I done. not sure [16:46] oCean_, Right... good point. Sorry about that. [16:46] venik, and it was worked for me. :P [16:46] andyltm: True... Sorry about that. [16:47] well, its going to be used for an image server, ie, will have 12 servers at different locations, dd wont work, need something with a gui be it ncurses or gtk [16:47] ezraw, I have not... I'll get to that. [16:47] ive seen g4l, and clonezilla, but both are livecd's [16:47] both seem to have mail with today's date in them... [16:47] FireTalon: that dosent mean they ONLY come on a live cd. both are installable in ubuntu. [16:47] !info clonezilla [16:47] Package clonezilla does not exist in lucid [16:47] problem is, i cant find the installers [16:48] every download link is to the livecd [16:48] check the package manager tools [16:48] ive looked for threedays before I decided to ask [16:48] Pici: expert mode has this option [16:48] Pici: Command line expert mode [16:49] FireTalon: are you wanting to just clone a drive? to image? move to another hd? or what exactly>? [16:49] My only problem is, being an extremely inexperienced Linux user, I would like to be able to administrate my MySQL server remotely (through a GUI) rather than through my server's SSH commandline. Unfortunately, it's refusing my connection. [16:49] abhi_nav: and I need to leave Wifi Radar online for it to function? [16:49] hi :) does anyone know how to boost my microphone ? [16:49] guys,my usbmodem autoconnects to ttyUSB5 (which is wrong according to its manual), how to connect it to another ttyUSBx? [16:49] is there a way to figure out what were my latest updates? [16:49] CaptainTrek, yes wifi button should be on. obviously? [16:49] Cheaterguy: is port 3306 open? [16:49] maybe I get to find some info on whatever is not working there? [16:50] abhi_nav: i meant should I keep the WiFi Radar PROGRAM running [16:50] abhi_nav: i dont use a hardware switch for the wifi card :P [16:50] CaptainTrek, I think yes try it [16:50] :) [16:50] ty [16:50] ezraw, so far I'm only doing it from within the LAN, so I doubt that is an issue (Port 22 isn't open, but SSH works) [16:51] well, these are going to a computer store, say I have a dell dimension e520 that needs windows reloaded for a customer. If I have the image from a good install, I can just place it on the machine with a blank drive and im finished [16:51] just like norton ghost [16:51] Cheaterguy: huh [16:51] but norton ghost wont work due to cost [16:51] so opensource is the only approved method [16:51] Cheaterguy: so the first things I would do are confirm 3306 is open, then make sure your mysql user is allowed to connect from yourIP [16:52] How does debtree work? Does it show the dependencies recursively( include dependencies of dependencies and so on)? [16:52] but the main problem is im not going to be at the other 12 stores at the same time, and half the people using them are not the brightest in the bunch, so command line is out of the question [16:52] I'm trying to install sun-java6-jre, but it appears to no longer be in the repository. it there another place to get it?

A Costa Rican friend who can't speak any English asked me for help changing her computer's language (currently running XP) from English to Spanish. But it looks like to do that she would need to buy a copy of XP. Since she is not exactly rolling in cash - I thought maybe installing ubuntu would be a good idea. So I have a couple of questions:Firstly: Is there a Spanish version? Secondly: How [16:54] yeah, I use it where I am, but I can forget trying to show someone else how to do it [16:55] Cheaterguy: in mysql, in the mysql table, select * from users, and see if your user has the domain set to localhost [16:55] racethesunlive: so i can monitor what my kid are doing ?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:17] robotti^: alsamixer should already be installed on a default Ubuntu install.

[17:19] many times before and also reinstall ubuntu on this computer to start fresh [17:20] robotti google the directory and install it [17:20] ozBoy: if you have openfire working via the web, it's not an OS problem; it's likely a database problem [17:20] n0a1ias_: what you mean? [17:20] robotti^: I'm not really following what was going on, just telling you that theres no need to try to install that package. I suspect that your sound card is not being detected properly. [17:20] ok thats what i thought but i can never seam to get it to worjk [17:21] Pici: sound is coming when I try listen music [17:21] ozBoy: when you go into mysql, you see the database you have created?

How can I tell which was used to install a system? [17:30] i just got a ubuntu 10.04 dvd to make the upgrade (i have 9.10 currently) and i have started the upgrade - but it tells me it wants to remove half my packages, among others things like erlang and half my php packages, which are important for me and, in general, are widely used things - this can't be right, can it? [17:31] Dunkirk, server is command line only, so that one is pretty obvious if youre running server edition or not. [17:31] durjirk what computer are ou on right now? [17:31] jjoohhnn: when running alsamixer it just say: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [17:31] Dunkirk, desktop edition is the standard desktop edition. netbook remix looks different, much bigger icons and a different style layout [17:31] Dunkirk, server dont have gui. netbook remix is slighly different (i dont now how) but in look i thingk. and destop is regular ubuntu [17:31] robotti^: you have installed it through the "apt-get install"? [17:31] does dmesg get rotated each boot? [17:31] jjoohhnn: alsamixer is here [17:31] Well, what I mean is: what is the difference at the basic level? How would I tell the difference if I was SSH'd into each of them? [17:31] jjoohhnn: It just say, it cannot find mixer [17:32] jjoohhnn: alsamixer is installed [17:32] i'm fairly freaked out because it wants to uninstall over 600 packages. [17:32] robotti^: are you sure you are typing "alsamixer" as one word? [17:32] jjoohhnn: positive. But I can always test it again [17:32] jjoohhnn: i did that still the same problem [17:33] webPragmatist: dmesg is the kernel buffer. When you reboot, the old kernel buffer contents are gone! That's not to say that some of the stuff didn't get written to a log somewhere by some other facility. But the contents of dmesg are poof! upon reboot. [17:33] guys whats the best way to find out what happened like the previous boot [17:33] @Dr_Willis: Sorry, I lost connection for a bit. No advanced needs: Skype, internet, music and photos and also OpenOffice [17:33] Dunkirk, afaik they just install different packages by default [17:33] rob_p: ^^ [17:33] kern.log ? [17:33] jjoohhnn: Just I say it. It cannot find mixer [17:34] webPragmatist: Yes, like kern.log.

[17:43] desertegeal, try running another browser to determen if the problums isolated to firefox [17:43] hm, i have a question... if you create a self signed certificate... would it only be used on one vhost... or multiple. It should be multiple right since the common name is 127.0.0.1 -- problem is, my https vhosts dont work. site.localhost and https://site.localhost work -- site2.localhost works but https://site2.localhost maps to https://site.localhost [17:43] re [17:43] I was told in #httpd to ask here how ubuntu's symlinks work [17:44] n0a1ias_, installing konqueror now [17:44] jjoohhnn: please help me :) [17:44] no like i spelt that wrong.lol [17:44] My gnome desktop is telling me it's "downloading and installing driver...".

[17:46] yep [17:46] I have such tiny bandwidth, it's better to download big files overnight when I don't need the web :( [17:46] jjoohhnn: I am positive what happen here. Alsamixer does not find mixer [17:46] that why it cannot start [17:46] there is no mixer [17:46] what can I do if half of the time I log into my desktop and I have no window borders? [17:46] hm, i have a question... if you create a self signed certificate... would it only be used on one vhost... or multiple. It should be multiple right since the common name is 127.0.0.1 -- problem is, my https vhosts dont work. site.localhost and https://site.localhost work -- site2.localhost works but https://site2.localhost maps to https://site.localhost [17:47] robotti^: well, yes, it can't find the mixer, but "why" it can't find the mixer is the issue i'm unsure of [17:47] jjoohhnn: I do not have /dev/mixer [17:47] I am unable to sync files to my ipod.

It shows up in rythmbox. and yes it does show charguing. [17:50] aristo: itouch iOS 4 [17:50] robotti^: i'm unsure of what to do; maybe ask another person who is more familiar with sound on ubuntu [17:50] jjoohhnn: Yes. But I do not know who is familiar [17:50] which kernel on Ubuntu support 4GB Ram? [17:50] A[D]minS, you're using a 32bit version, if it so install linux-image-generic-pae [17:50] desertegeal, you can get the installer any way you want, the important thing is that u do a reinstall, you can get yourt addons after its fixed [17:50] jjoohhnn: I would love to ask, but somebody tell me that you are Ubuntu Guru [17:50] sipher, you will need to do it via wlan [17:50] robotti^: does alsa-utils work?

[17:51] sipher, wlan means wireless lan, so wireless [17:52] maco: Weird [17:52] n0a1ias_: yes i understand that.. [17:52] robotti^: your sound card; if that doesn't work, i'm sorry i can't help you [17:52] jjoohhnn: I reset it [17:52] sipher, yes connect by wireless lan [17:52] n0a1ias_: but how do i transfer the files wirelessly? [17:52] jjoohhnn: I do not know what is name of my sound card [17:52] with a jailbreak I can ssh to the device..transfer via scp [17:52] wait a second, sipher, how did you get your text to red?

[17:53] Sereph: you don;t. [17:53] gnubu: Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal, find the process ID using 'ps x' and kill it using 'kill ' [17:54] sipher: what? [17:54] n0a1ias_: It is your client, this channel blocks colour codes. [17:54] Sereph: you don't run fsck on ntfs fielsystems. [17:54] can you fsck a swap? [17:54] o ok lol [17:54] new to irc [17:54] sipher, last time i checked it was only possible with wlan [17:54] hah [17:54] Sereph: no. [17:54] im trying to find the cause of my input output errors [17:54] n0a1ias_: What client are you using? [17:54] xchat [17:54] lol [17:55] Hello! how can I update to the 2.6.34-lucid kernel? I currently have the 2.6.32-21-generic [17:55] n0alias_ that means that yuo were tagged on message [17:55] Sereph: use windows to check ntfs filesystems [17:55] !lol | n0a1ias_ [17:55] n0a1ias_: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [17:55] n0a1ias_: it is probably your client highlighting the message because I've used your nickname. [17:55] somebody familiar with sound system on ubuntu 10.04? [17:55] i cant login to Openfire admin concole [17:55] n0a1ias_: [17:55] !ask | robotti^ [17:55] robotti^: 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. :-) [17:55] o most likely [17:55] Gordon_Gekko: why do you need it? [17:56] aristo: is there "supported" way to transfer it wirelessly? [17:56] ubottu: Ok. then I am quiet :) [17:56] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:56] I know I can do it via jailbreak+scp+osshd [17:56] but thaqt SUCKS. [17:56] I want to sync my ipod like a HUMAN! [17:56] lol [17:56] robotti^: does your sound usually work? [17:57] Sereph: it worked great on ubuntu 8.10, 9.04 [17:57] di_giorgio: Then get a mac [17:57] sipher: ^^ [17:57] last night I update it 10.04 [17:57] robotti^: but it doesnt work at all on 10.04? [17:57] guntbert: I have a problem with the VGA out of my radeon, it is a bug (you can find it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux/+bug/537640) the last post says that this kernel solves the problem [17:57] askhader: ya, great advice. [17:57] robboti same i love it [17:57] The files in my /var/www folder show in browser in the order they where moved. I want to arrange by filetype from CLI, I am able to use ls -X but that doesent effect the actual order of the files. All I want is my files to show up in browser in order by filetype. TIA [17:58] could someone please post the direct link to firefox's deb package please? i need to wget it [17:58] askhader: I guess, you don't know what ubuntu's slogan is. [17:58] josie316: if that is possible, it would be an apache setting [17:58] Sereph: Yes. I can hear sound when running spotify :) very faint sound.. and I must click multible times sometimes play, until it play [17:58] sipher: What do you think it is? [17:58] Sereph: usb drive? maybe the usb-ide(sata) bridge in it freaks out, i often had that with cheap usb enclosures, powering them off and letting them cooldown ususaly solved it, if its a internal disk maybe its a harddisk error then [17:58] josie316: you could use php to sort them by extension. [17:59] Gordon_Gekko: a *very* good reason :-) -- I'll have to look it up myself, but if I remember correctly there is a ppa with kernel backports [17:59] mgolisch: nope all SATA drives [17:59] askhader: check the websiet. [17:59] sipher: 'Linux' for human beings. [17:59] Sereph: I can here sound when running cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp1 [17:59] sipher: pointy clicky graphically. [17:59] Sereph: but I cannot set volume levels [17:59] could be a pulseaudio issue then [17:59] exactly. and thats how I want to sync my ipod :p [17:59] guntbert: I am new to linux, I don't know how to update. Can you guide me a bit? [17:59] not using some hackish method. [18:00] usted puede seguir en español me [18:00] usted puede seguir en español me [18:00] ihola [18:00] !es | terry [18:00] terry: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [18:00] Sereph: What should I do? [18:00] sipher: Perhaps you're doing it wrong. [18:00] askhader: worked before. [18:00] Thanks guys, gave me new google ideas. [18:00] gordon_gekko, in the terminal, put sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [18:00] Gordon_Gekko: open a terminal and type without quotes "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [18:00] i win [18:00] `-` [18:00] gordon_gecko system-> administration-> update maneger [18:00] anybody here ever set up freeradius on ubuntu/ [18:01] !anybody | Roasted [18:01] Roasted: 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? [18:01] Gordon_Gekko: I can try, but I never needed to do it myself, so there might be people here who can help you better :-) [18:01] Is there a way to control OS caching of USB devices (like thumbdrives and Android phones)? Without it I am having hard time estimating transfer progress: it shoots gigabytes in a second and then refuses to unmount forever because "transfer in progress". [18:01] robotti^: I'm not too good with pulse myself [18:01] Sereph, I knew somebody would fire that at me. [18:01] why are most of the answers on #ubuntu given using command line options instead of the gui? [18:01] :) [18:01] it seems like wine is preventing me from hearing audio from other apps like mednafen, is there any way to prevent that? [18:01] Sereph: who is? [18:01] what do ubuntu users use to view .dwg files? [18:01] n0a1ias_: he wants to get a newer kernel than is available in the standard repos [18:01] anyone? could someone please post the direct link to firefox's deb package please? i need to wget it [18:01] guntbert: do you think that it might come with an update? [18:01] racethesun: Linux is all about the command line. [18:01] Sereph, however, I don't really have a "question" regarding it. I washoping to find somebody who set it up and take it to PM to just bounce some ideas off of them to make sure I'm doing this right. [18:02] Gnome is downloading a looooong file. Where do I look to find the name of this file? [18:02] is dr_willis in the house? heeh [18:02] Gordon_Gekko: no, the kernel version is (almost) never changed within a release [18:02] Roasted: I've asked that sort of thing for that reason before too :P === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [18:02] gnubu: what do you mean gnome is downloading the file [18:03] Sereph, it doesnt seem to be the most popular topic, in terms of users who have experience with it. All of the documentation Im finding is from ~2007. [18:03] desertegeal http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html [18:03] the second one [18:03] thank you so much n0a1ias_ :D [18:03] wait...

I am doing the same thing as well [18:09] n0a1ias_: that is the short answer === bullgard_ is now known as bullgard4 [18:09] sereph, it works [18:11] is there a way to auto resume with rsync? [18:12] Dmole: Run the command again? [18:12] Hi. In Ubuntu 10.04 there is a new "message area" which pops up to inform me when my friends connect to the Internet. One one computer it appears on the bottom left, on my other on the top left. How can I configure the position of this popup? thanks! [18:12] Dmole: [You might want the --partial flag or something].

[18:15] roasted just type the name of a program into terminal and it will run [18:15] gnubu: That isn't an answer. What application did you use to download them? (I did ask this earlier to try and help). [18:16] n0a1ias_, kerberos = server service. I need to fire up the SERVICE. not the program.

[18:26] bambam_: -napt only looks at tcp connections. -lptu will look at both tcp and udp [18:27] does ubuntu have a repository of all its pkges, like /distfiles in gentoo?

[18:28] io, that was my question. [18:28] roasted, just state your problem [18:28] io, mine disconnects after random intervals. I'm just curious if ANYBODY is running it with flying success. [18:28] I am trying to add a mount command to /etx/rc.local following instructions but I don't seem to be able to write to it even with sudo. Is there perhaps some other file which may be more suitable to add such things to? (I want it run at startup...)

Since the last few upgrades, my graphics driver (for ATI Radeon HD 5100) has been disabled. When I try to enable it I get the following error: [18:29] SystemError: installArchives() failed [18:29] Any help? Thanks. [18:29] Dr_Willis: shared folder from cirtual box [18:29] Roasted: The last line is an actual question, right. Is it built-in or USB? [18:29] io, built in [18:29] jonalv: a 'samba/windows' type share? or what excactly? [18:30] io, I bought it because the atheros inside was acting up (wouldnt connect to WPA networks). so I put it in hoping itd solve the issue since intel is pretty awesome with linux wireless but here it is, bombing out. [18:30] I use truecrypt, and it won't start because it says it's already running. However it's not, and me and a friend previously solved this issue by deleting all of it's files in some local folder, does anyone have any suggestions as the terminal command that might have been? [18:30] Dr_Willis: vboxsf, it's a virtual box thing I think [18:31] ubuntu_giant, go to the catalyst download page and reinstall the relevant Linux drivers [18:31] Roasted: I dunno if this applies to you, but my intel WiFi Link 5300 card is all kinds of broken in kernel 2.6.32. It might be worth trying the PPA for kernel 2.6.34. [18:31] Roasted: No issues noted on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsIntel#miniPCI anyhow. [18:31] jonalv: if using virtualbox and the special virtualbox share. check teh vbox docs for the proper mount command/optuions to use. You may be missing some setting. [18:31] io, theres a few bug reports about the 2200, though... I did see those. [18:31] How 'bout this. Can I wget a file, put it in /var/cache/apt/archives then apt-get it later? [18:32] if i look at the changelog for linux-image-server ...all it says is * Lucid ABI 23 [18:32] Dr_Willis: yea that's what I did but I think it might differ from different linux distro's? [18:32] Roasted: be aware that going to 2.6.34 may cause other hardware to not work, since it doesn't have full patches for stuff [18:32] h [18:32] hey! [18:32] n0a1ias_: I already did that. [18:32] tntc, I think I'll pass on it... I'll probably end up getting another intel card that isnt listed with bugs. [18:32] gnubu you can download .deb files and install them later on if thats what your asking [18:32] linuxnoob: Hi. [18:32] Hello, I was wondering How VLC displays its icon in sytem tray. I want to change the icon(add alpha) but I am unable to find the location where does VLC stores its icon. [18:32] tntc, after all, wireless cards can be surprisingly cheap. I got a BGN card on google shopping for 12 bucks brand new :P [18:32] Anyone that uses screenlets can help me? [18:33] Roasted: honestly, it's pretty painless. As long as you don't have any goofy hotkeys, it should work fine. [18:33] ubuntu_giant, system ->administration ->hardware drivers [18:33] Roasted: you could also try using ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers [18:33] tntc, well, this laptop in particular isnt mine, so I dont want to screw around with *patches* that arent official fixes.

[19:19] hello, I'm trying to figure out why some of my packages won't upgrade even though there is a newer version and the newer version has higher priority [19:19] anybody experienced with setting up freeradius? [19:19] askhader> never said oytherwise :) what i want to do is make it 100Gb and recover the rest for ubuntu, if possible [19:19] krey: Did you run sudo apt-get upgrade [19:19] Kyle__: yes, but I've been look at /sys/devices/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq, but that doesn't have much effect. [19:19] Gobby is the one im looking for !!! [19:19] askhader: oh yes :) [19:20] MarcN: Ahh good. so you know about the low-level part of it. [19:20] nimbiotics: This can be done but I've had it cause strange behaviour before. Just warning you. [19:20] askhader: direct rendering : Yes [19:20] askhader: that is all I did [19:20] askhader, i should fix that from "Accessibility Configuration" but i cannot click on its icon "down right the login screen" coz the icon is hidden is that a way to fix it after i login ??? [19:20] Kyle__: yeah, I'm a greyhair, but not looked much at this power stuff. [19:20] askhader> strange behaviour in win or linux? [19:20] Anarchy7_: Interesting. lspci -nn | grep -i vga please [19:20] nimbiotics: Windows. [19:21] ok [19:21] MarcN: in /sys/dev/ices/cpu/cpuX/ what dose it have for curdriver? [19:21] krey: What package are you trying to upgrade? [19:21] oCean_, i created my wiki. see this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/abhijit [19:21] hi every body ... i worked with CNC(tool) with my windows ... i want to know if CNC tool has another program on ubuntu ... bcaz windows is not good at all ... CNC'c PC is on i486 architecture . [19:21] i can run ubuntu on it ... but i can't do whit my work .. [19:21] MarcN: My current box has it disabled alltogeather, so I'm gonig from memory. [19:21] askhader> np, i can take my chances, i would reinstall if i have to even thoug thats what im trying to avoid. How do u do that? [19:22] Hii Boys and girls, can a windows driver (.ini I think) be used in Linux to make some rare piece of HW work? [19:22] askhader: there's hundreds of them! [19:22] nimbiotics: The Ubuntu Live CD has gparted [19:22] MarcN: Err, though it does bring up the point... if you can afford a reboot, reboot, and turn off frequency scaling in the bios. Usually there's a way to do that. [19:22] Kyle__: scaling_governor is perofrmance [19:22] krey: Hundreds of outdated packages? [19:22] askhader: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1 200 Series] [1002:79lf] [19:22] I figured it out without you guys. [19:22] askhader: yes [19:23] MarcN: Certain bios settings can keep it from reachign it's peak speed. Are you sure none of those are enabled? [19:23] krey: How do you know? [19:23] How do I list active devices (drives, cd drives, etc) ? [19:23] askhader: when I run sudo apt-get upgrade it says: 383 not updated [19:23] Kyle__: I looked in my BIOS, but pretty limited. It is a nice HP EliteBook with the new funky 'mouse aware' BIOS setup [19:23] or upgraded or w? [19:23] askhader> does it have a graphic interface? [19:23] nimbiotics: Yes [19:24] askhader> thanks a bunch! [19:24] MarcN: Ugh. I'm sorry. OK. Do you have dmidecode on your system? it outputs a ton of information, so pipe it into less and search for the CPU info. [19:24] MarcN: "Processor Information" is how it's termed in there. [19:24] Anarchy7_: Do you know where the Hardware Drivers dialog is? [19:25] nimbiotics: np [19:25] Kyle__: |more [19:25] can a windows driver (.ini I think) be used in Linux to make some rare piece of HW work? Do I need to recompile the kernel ? [19:25] MarcN: More or less I've always preferred less to more. [19:25] lspci -v or dmidecode passed to more or less both should list devices [19:26] Kyle__: sorry, wrong window focus. dmidecode says max is 2800MHz, which is right. [19:26] Church: dmidecode provides better output for some cases :) [19:26] MarcN: Does the external clock seem right? [19:26] askhader: I dont know [19:26] Anarchy7_: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [19:26] Or something to that effect [19:26] ok [19:26] Kyle__: I've been using more for the last 25 years. fingers memorized it, like emacs ;-) [19:26] again has anyone gotten runes of magic to run in wine? this gorramm thing is patching to a certain point then it says wine is insufficienct?! can some one please tell me how to get it running? wine is 1.2-rc6 [19:27] how can i get to "Accessibility Configuration" for login screen ? [19:27] MarcN: I know some mobile CPUs turn down the clock on battery, to saves power. Maybe the system thinks it's on battery? [19:27] Kyle__: everything looks good, except gnome-power shows between 800 and 1.1ghz for each cpu, even when the loadave is > 5 for many seconds. [19:27] askhader: Searching for available drivers // No proprietary drivers are in use on this system [19:27] Kyle__: it is in a docking station and the battery icon says AC/charging [19:28] Kyle__ speedstep [19:28] MarcN: Emacs? Ugh. VI! My first real boxes were (very very very) used DECs that I had to root before using. After that I never touched emacs again. [19:28] hello, how can i use applets (in panel) on ubuntu netbook remix 10.04? [19:28] blain: Have you seen anything like what MarcN is seeing? Where you set it to performance, but it doesn't change the scaling? [19:28] Kyle__: I learned gosling emacs on VAX/VMS in '84, so I ain't changing. [19:28] how can i get to "Accessibility Configuration" for login screen ? [19:28] MarcN: What CPU is in there anyway? [19:29] What do I need to edit, for the boot load process not to show 20 previous Kernels [19:29] Hello, today I installed ubuntu on my PC. I tried to connect to my wifi, but it won't let me. I am currently booted into windows. Please help? [19:29] Can windous drivers work for linux or do I have to be some programmer to get them to work? [19:29] Kyle__: Intel Core2 Duo T9600 @ 2.8Ghz. [19:29] Kyle__ maybe some odules are missing [19:29] torbutton without installing a global tor?? [19:29] MarcN: Whew. I coudln't even type in 84. I won't fault you for emacs then ;) [19:30] MarcN: Holdon, booting up my laptop. [19:30] Kyle__: the on-demand used to work, but I went to a tradeshow,turned it down to power save, and won't restore. [19:30] frikkieh, what kind of hardware is it? [19:30] Why would my printer suddenly not work on Ubuntu, where it used to do just fine before? [19:30] Speiros: Perhaps an update changed someting. [19:31] It is an Infra red remote receiver - Compro K100. I tried the lirc thing, but that is for developers. [19:31] is ther a channel for wine? [19:31] askhader: Ah, maybe. Any ideas as to what might have changed? [19:31] Hello, today I installed ubuntu on my PC. I tried to connectto my wifi, but it won't let me. I am currently booted into windows. Please help? [19:31] Speiros: Well did you check the cups interface? [19:31] Speiros: Define not working? [19:31] seriously i need help [19:31] askhader: I'll have a look at that. [19:31] loki_: What do you mean won't let you? [19:31] anybody experienced with setting up freeradius? [19:32] how so I get a list of all the ops connected to my server? [19:32] it won't connect for reasons unbeknownst to me. I added the network to the list and enabled wireless networking and it still wont connect [19:32] MarcN: Could you post the outptu of lsmod to pastie or somethign? Lets see if we see all the modules we think we should. [19:32] howie_ who ? [19:32] loki_: Does your AP SSID show up in the list of available connections? [19:32] Kyle: It is recognised in one way, as I can see it as the default printer, but whenever I send a document to print, it goes to the printer, but doesn't show as documents in queue. Yet it also says there are two documents in queue === jono_ is now known as jono [19:32] ips [19:32] no [19:33] loki_: Are you sure you have the right kernel module for it? [19:33] wait what does AP stand for? [19:33] Access Point [19:33] Speiros: And what does lpq say? [19:33] Loki -0 Access point [19:33] hmm......thats a good question. What module is needed? [19:33] askhader: ? [19:33] Kyle: What is lpq mate? [19:33] oh lol yeah no the the AP isnt there [19:33] Anarchy7_: ? [19:33] hi all [19:33] blain a list of ip's connect to my router box [19:33] loki_: Depends on what card you have. [19:33] not a card [19:33] First get Wifi Going to see AP's [19:33] just an antenna plugged into the back of my comp [19:33] loki_: O.o [19:34] askhader: you asked me to go to hardware ... I went and the message is : Searching for available drivers // No proprietary drivers are in use on this system [19:34] it's integrated into the motherboard you mean? [19:34] Anarchy7_: Okay. [19:34] yes [19:34] Anarchy7_: I didn't see your response. [19:34] askhader: : no problem [19:34] Speiros: It's the command line tool to display what's in the print que [19:34] Anarchy7_: Please upload /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:34] Speiros: Generally more reliable than its gnome counterpart. [19:34] loki_: It's still a card, and we need to know which it is. lscpi -nn [19:34] how to do that ? [19:35] sorry lspci -vv [19:35] Kyle: Okay. Do I look at that in terminal? [19:35] how would I know that? should i open up the comp? [19:35] Speiros: Yes. [19:35] Kyle: It says the printer isn't ready, and yes, there are two documents in the queue [19:35] loki_: Applications Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal [19:35] Can ubuntu be used with xbmc and a K100 Compro emote? [19:35] hold on that wont work [19:35] MarcN: Ya know, I'm poking at my laptop, and I don't see any frequency scaling moduels, but it all works fine. Modules may be a red herring. [19:36] im currently booted into windows [19:36] Speiros: have you ever used the cups web-interface? [19:36] Kyle: No. [19:36] loki_: You don't have an ethernet cable? [19:36] Kyle__: http://pastebin.com/c17dKYmv is my lsmod, don't see any interesting modules, compiled it with ubuntu I guess. [19:36] well i do but no where near my comp to plug in [19:36] Anarchy7_: Well you can view the output with cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less [19:36] no ethernet port open anyway [19:37] Kyle__: I have the /sys/devices/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/ so the kernel knows. [19:37] Kyle: Why does the printer say ready if Terminal says it isn't? [19:37] Speiros: go to http://localhost:631 That's the cups web interface. You can enable printers from the command line, but from the web interface you may see what the problem is. [19:37] Speiros: Because the gnome interface to cups is flakey (IMO). [19:37] loki_, how do you not have an ethernet port open? O.o [19:37] Kyle_: Okay. [19:37] askhader: http://codepad.org/fG7IaKNS [19:37] Kyle__: thought it was related to VirtualBox and running a Vista VM, but not running it on my laptop anymore since last reboot. [19:37] loki_: Well then you need to get creative =] [19:37] MarcN: not sure what the issues are but .. cpufrequtils can give you the ability to adjust cpu frequency settings [19:38] lol yeah im gonna open it [19:38] askhader: fixed it, just a shtload of broken packages [19:38] MarcN: Yea, I think you're right. Humm. What shows up in scaling_avilable_frequencies? [19:38] krey: =/ How did that happen? [19:38] bastidrazor: what is the preferred ubuntu/lucid toolset for cpufreq? [19:38] MarcN: cpufrequtils package which gives you cpufreq-selector and cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set commands [19:38] askhader: no clue, perhaps enabling a some launchpad repos was a bad idea :D [19:39] So no- one use a nice stable os like Ubuntu to run a media centre like xbmc? [19:39] Kyle__: available_frequencies include 2800000 down to 800000 [19:39] frikkieh: Well I do. [19:39] frikkieh: Try mediatomb. [19:39] MarcN: What happens if you echo 2800000 into cur_freq? [19:40] hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135 [19:40] Kyle - What remote do you use - one that works [19:40] MarcN: sorry scaling_cur_freq [19:40] apache2 is not autostarting on boot, and I suspect it's because this is a wireless laptop, that brings up interfaces by networkmanager. Is this true, and how can ‎I work around it? [19:40] MarcN: it would a better idea to use the commands provide by cpufrequtils instead of manually changing things. [19:40] Kyle__: no priv error, but doesn't stick. same with cpufrequ-set [19:40] Anarchy7: You can try downloading the LINUX driver from ATI directly. [19:40] Anarchy7: Your card should be recent enough. [19:40] hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135 "wireless and fn+f8" not work [19:41] frikkieh: Wait, you mean to view it or serve it up? I serve up the stuff using mediatomb, and play it thrugh my ps3. [19:41] MarcN: you're using sudo with cpufreq-set ? [19:41] hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135 "wireless and fn+f8" not work what can i do to work [19:41] MarcN: Weird. [19:41] mohamed-ragab: What is that key supposed to do? [19:41] bastidrazor: I'd be fine with that. running 1.12Ghz on a DC with 4G is painfully slow. [19:41] askhader: do you think this is necessary to solve the problem ? [19:41] mohamed-ragab: Also, you might have to wait a bit for your question to be answered sometimes [19:41] MarcN: Try it in single user mode. I'm wondering if there's a daemon somewhere that's re-setting it to what it thinks it should be. [19:41] bastidrazor: sudo or from root shell [19:41] askhader: or just giving a random idea which might work ? [19:41] Anarchy7: Is the Video card driver not the most logical place to start when diagnosing slow video performacne? [19:41] i have a fresh ubuntu install and when i rebooted it, it reset the resolution to a point where it's overdriving my monitor. how can i fix it? my graphics card is ATI HD4870 with the driver installed. i got it to work omce, but when i rebooted, it failed again [19:42] To view is good enough - locally, but I want to be able to pause now and then :-) [19:42] bastidrazor: I have upowerd running and gnome-power-manager. [19:42] Anarchy7: All this time I have been attempting to establish exactly which video card driver X11 is enabling for your card. [19:42] askhader: I am having problems with windows vista as well ... [19:42] Anarchy7: So unless you have a better idea. [19:42] Anarchy7: You're not the only one. [19:42] Kyle_: Thank you mate. The documents are printing. I don't know what the initial problem was, but I changed the cord to a cat5 cable, then back to the USB, and it is printing fine now. [19:43] hi i have a problem with NFS shares on 9.04, kernel 2.6.30.2 #11, i have listed the configs here: http://lfitz.bravehost.com/nfs-error.html [19:43] https://drupal7.localhost works -- https://joomla.localhost maps to http://drupal7.localhost -- how do I fix this? [19:43] pianohacker, what mean "key supposed" ?? [19:43] askhader: so am I going to get it from ati web site or package installer ? [19:43] Hi All [19:43] Anarchy7: The ATI website. [19:43] I could use some help [19:43] Anarchy7: They will have an install script. [19:43] !ask | jngdwe [19:43] jngdwe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:43] Speiros: CUPs sometimes stops a printer if it can't communicate with it. It's affraid it will loose a document, and it won't get printed, so if it can't talk to the printer, it holds the documents. Used to happen all the time over the WAN. [19:44] torbutton without installing tor to the system?? [19:44] anybody experienced with setting up freeradius? [19:44] askhader: I am here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx but dont know what to choose for step 3 [19:44] Kyle_:No probs. So maybe it froze somewhere, and changing cables may have initialised it? [19:44] Does anybody know if the ATI drivers work for 10.04 yet? I've been out of the loop for quite a while. Last time i tried, the system would get stuck on the ubuntu boot screen. [19:44] I have a Radeon HD 4830 [19:45] im installing ubuntu side by side with windows. its a 500gb drive, but 450gb is already taken. how much space should i give to ubuntu? how much space will it need? [19:45] MarcN: upowerd isn't offered by ubuntu [19:45] pianohacker, [19:45] im installing ubuntu side by side with windows. its a 500gb drive, but 450gb is already taken. how much space should i give to ubuntu? how much space will it need? [19:45] oops [19:45] sera [19:45] bastidrazor: sure it is. on another laptop running ubuntu/lucid I have the upower package installed. [19:45] Speiros: Quite possible. Remember, USB printers are autodetected and auto-setup, but network printers aren't. If you have the same printer hooked up both ways, it shows up as two different printers (one for each connection method). [19:45] Cube``, Not much. you could probably get away with 10GB [19:45] MarcN: yeah, i see i was in correct in my statement. [19:46] How can I make different apps use different term in terminal ?... [19:46] Anarchy7: What is your architecture? 64 bit or 32 bit? [19:46] is there an active zend framework channel? [19:46] 10GB [19:46] scusate qualcuno parla italiano? [19:46] Kyle_: Ah, okay. That explains why I have the new icon in there. lol. [19:46] Cube``: 10G is more than enough for Ubuntu, but you'll be tight on room for personal files. [19:46] glace, open a new terminal? [19:46] bean: ok. and then symlink .cube to .cube on that 450gb partition? [19:46] askhader: I dont know that too :( [19:46] and then delete files if i need more space [19:46] ? [19:46] Anarchy7: uname -a [19:46] Cube``, I'm confused as to why you need to symlink anything? [19:47] hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135-s1310 "wireless and fn+f8" not work what can i do to work [19:47] MarcN: cpufreq-set or cpufreq-selector should make the appropriate changes. cpufreq-info will you give you what abilities it thinks your processor has [19:47] Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-22-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 27 00:22:23 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [19:47] askhader: [19:47] I copied above [19:47] Anarchy7: Thanks. [19:47] bean: so the standart ubuntu "Pictures" and "Videos" files will be availiable from the "Places" menu, while phsically being on the big partition [19:47] what is ---> /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_magnifier_enabled ? [19:47] If Gabriele comes back on, I will try to translate from Google, if someone can help. [19:48] anybody experienced with setting up freeradius? [19:48] Do the ATI catalyst drivers work for Radeon HD 4830 on 10.04 yet? My last attempt with 10.04 would hang on boot, stuck at the ubuntu screen! === jussi is now known as jussio1 [19:48] I'm curious if anyone has Ubuntu running on an external USB drive? [19:48] Cube``, you say that you're planning on installing them side by side, windows and ubuntu, right? are you saying you want to access your windows files from ubuntu?? [19:48] bastidrazor: hmm, don't have pm-utils-powersave-policy installed on the misbehaving laptop [19:48] askhader: but rhere isnt even 32 in the list so which one is mine ... [19:48] e-head, ive run ubuntu on an external USB before. === ryaxnbuntu is now known as ryaxnb [19:48] Media centre people - how do you remote ctrl your applications?

Or post install? Like modify the initrd or anything? [19:49] i have a fresh ubuntu install and when i rebooted it, it reset the resolution to a point where it's overdriving my monitor. how can i fix it? my graphics card is ATI HD4870 with the driver installed. i got it to work omce, but when i rebooted, it failed again. anybody? [19:49] Not that i recall [19:49] cool [19:49] I'm fairly certain that i just installed normally [19:49] askhader: why is it from akami not from ati ? [19:49] okay. I thought it might need a USB driver loaded in the initrd or something.

[19:49] Do the ATI catalyst drivers work for Radeon HD 4830 on 10.04 yet? My last attempt with 10.04 would hang on boot, stuck at the ubuntu screen! [19:49] bean: I mean that different escape sequence.. et. enter "echo $TERM" in gnome-terminal ,it shows "xterm", and "linux" in console [19:49] ok [19:50] jngdwe: ATI documents this. [19:50] Anarchy7: akamai is a web accellerator company. remove that part from the url if you want. [19:50] can i get vbox help in this channel? or i need find vbox channel? [19:50] Another install question: Has anyone tried installing ubuntu in a Virtual Machine and then booting it live? [19:50] Anarchy7: fwiw akamai uses linux for their servers ;-) [19:50] I'm setting up a bunch of public-access edubuntu boxes and the power that be have decided that the machines need to use WiFi (802.11n) instead of running ethernet. Additionally, the machines only have half-height slots. So the question is what is a good currently produce 802.11n half-height internal card, PCI or PCIe. [19:50] e-head - yes [19:50] Specifically, using VirtualBox, I was going to "map" a drive to be used "raw", then try installing that way. [19:51] frikkieh: did it go okay? [19:51] thanks guys i have to leave now, the school is closing gonna be back later and thanks a lot askhader for all the help you have done [19:51] askhader: thanks again :) === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [19:51] Anarchy7: np [19:51] 100's - I just battled to get the networking bit going in the beginning [19:51] ahh [19:51] But you neet plenty RAM on your host [19:52] Kyle__: rebooting now that pm-utils-powersave-policy installed. Not sure what would need to be restarted.

[19:52] MarcN: With ubuntu who knows. I love 'buntu as a desktop, but in some ways it's very un-unixy. [19:52] question: how can I change my dns servers for a specific wireless network? i tried editing resolv.conf but NetworkManager overwrites them. I can not find an option in NetworkManager to change them. [19:52] Jordan_U: and the list has no half-height internal 802.11n cards on it [19:52] Yep. [19:52] How can I make different apps use different "$TERM" global variable in terminal ?... [19:53] anybody experienced with setting up freeradius? [19:53] plbogen: Have you found any such cards that use an atheros chipset? [19:54] timemachine3030: run as: TERM=blah command [19:54] Jordan_U: so far just broadcoms (ugh...) [19:54] timemachine3030: right click nm-applet in the gnome-panel then edit connections > wireless connections > select one > IPv4 settings, you need to set Method to DHCP only or manual to edit the DNS Servers [19:54] glace: run as: TERM=blah command [19:54] Roasted: Not I, but have you checked out to see if there's a freeradius channel, or forum?

[19:56] Roasted: Good luck :) I haven't used radius since the 90's, and then I didn't set it up. [19:56] frikkieh, :( [19:56] GParted can't resize/move NTFS partitions. Why? [19:56] frikkieh, tell me its easy to set up, easy to maintain, and will reliably run for months/years into the future. [19:57] do u have windows installed ? [19:57] grayhatgeek_ Yeah I'm trying to shrink it [19:57] Sorry, but I tried Radius before and could not get it right. My telco friends did better [19:57] andai: It can't? I could have sworn it's shrunk NTFS partitions for me when installing side by side. [19:57] torbutton without installing tor to the system?? [19:57] try that : open windows and check disks then restart to linux or live cd [19:57] Kyle_: What do I need installed to shrink it? ntfstools? [19:58] frikkieh: Not surprising; wasn't radius designed for telcos? [19:58] help with TORBUTTON please [19:58] They use it every day , so I just asked their help. [19:58] u can use GParted [19:58] I believe so yes [19:58] grayhatgeek_: Oh no then there'd be an error and a flag that there's something wrong (had it before) [19:58] and i checked the disk :P [19:58] grayhatgeek_: the menu item is just grayed out [19:58] raven: you need tor to use tor :) [19:58] andai: I'm not sure, I generally use it from the unbutu install CD. You know, boot the live cd, load gparted, tinker. [19:58] VCoolio: thank you very much.... It works ^_^ [19:58] raven: but you need not be a server [19:59] windows cause such problems , you have to check your harddisk first before format [19:59] Does anyone know a channel where you can talk about politics? [19:59] #noisebridge [19:59] bastidrazor, thanks. there is only space for one server. Can I somehow add another? [19:59] Kyle_ I thought of doing that but i didn't feel like downloading the 700mb iso for just that (and i've found gparted on the liveCD is slow as hell for some reason) [19:59] xxDangerCloud: ##politics [19:59] frikkieh: What situation were you trying to set radius up for? [19:59] timemachine3030: ip1, ip2, ip3 etc.. seperate with a comma [19:59] Kyle_ grayhatgeek_ i'm on TinyCoreLinux [ yeah, i know, but their channel is dead ] [19:59] : use USB [19:59] try #centos too [19:59] WiFi AP's [19:59] grayhatgeek_: I'm on USB :P [19:59] oic thanks again! [20:00] hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135-s1310 "wireless and fn+f8" not work what can i do to work === Jurkki_ is now known as Jurkki [20:00] : hmm which version of gparted do u have ? [20:00] andai: Good point. You may be able to find a bootable rescue disk that has it? Sorry, I very rarely preserve windows, so it's not functionality I use foten :) [20:00] grayhatgeek_: 0.5.0 [20:01] im tryn get vbox an it keeps tellin me to install virtual box dkms and i did and it keeps sayn that and also to run modprobe vboxdrv as root an i dunno what it means [20:01] preecher: Virtualbox is pretty automatic on ubuntu. you shoudln't need to laod any of the modules on your own. [20:01] preecher: in a terminal type: sudo modprobe vboxdrv [20:01] i need a tool for linux to extract the sms messages off my nokia phone [20:01] gnokii is unable to do that [20:01] zamba: Did you read the wiki page? [20:02] : can u upgrade to 0.6.0 [20:02] preecher: and i agree with Kyle__ .. you should need to do none of that. [20:02] sudo modprobe vboxdrv [20:02] io: what wiki page? [20:02] !nokia | zamba [20:02] zamba: Guides for smartphones and portable devices can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/ [20:02] zamba: That one. [20:02] io: oh, thanks [20:02] i installed it from the ubuntu software center [20:02] but i keep getn those errors [20:03] preecher: I've got vbox on 20+ ubuntu desktops, soon to be 50 (computer labs). If it's not loading automatically, you're box is missing osmething, or something got screwed up along the way. [20:04] i did have it installed and running last nite and today i tryd to install a diff linux distro and it kept hangin up so i deleted it and then re install it [20:04] bean: yeah look, i had a windows system, which broke one day haha, now i have all my files (pics, vids, etc.) on there. i would like to install ubuntu without having to backup the whole disc. so ill install ubuntu, giving it 10 GB, then symlink the ubuntu document folders to the windows ones. does that sound rational? [20:04] what package needs to be installed so that a guest receives the shutdown signal properly? [20:05] osmosis: The guest extensions. Trying to recall the package name now... [20:05] osmosis: virtualbox-ose-dkms I think that's the one. [20:06] if i just reinstall ubuntu and then install vbox again that should work shouldnt it [20:06] FYI.... the Linksys WMP600N is a Ralink based adaptor that *should* work out of box with Ubuntu. [20:06] Any ideas what's the widget in gnome to have the temperature of processor in the top bar? [20:06] Cube``: One problem is that Linux cannot repair ntfs, so if you shut down improperly you may loose access to your files untill you can run chkdsk from windows. [20:06] Hello everyone. I seem to be having an issue with sound. It minimally works. If I max out everything I can hear it a tiny bit from my headphones for sound. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this issue? [20:06] preecher: Do me a quick favor. type this into a console, and let me know what comes back: dpkg --get-selections|grep virtualbox [20:07] what packages give ext4 support (for gparted)? [20:08] Kyle I need for kvm [20:09] Jordan_U: ok gotcha, but i wouldnt loose them? [20:10] osmosis: Ah. Umm. KVM doesn't really work like that. Each KVM vm is a process. There isn't any interaction between the host and the guest by default. [20:10] Hi! [20:10] Cube``: No, it would just be a PITA to regain access to them if you don't have a windows CD lying around. [20:10] osmosis: There may be a kvm command that suspends the VM? [20:11] Kyle_ it says this dpkg: need an action option [20:11] I just installed the program zoneminder, but apparently there's a problem on the code which gives me an error with my webcam. On their site they say what need to be edited in the source code to fix it. Can someone help me recompile a program and reinstall it? [20:12] preecher: dpkg --get-selections With two dashes before get. [20:12] Jordan_U: ok gotcha. got lots of em though. but does this whole idea sound ok? [20:12] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [20:12] tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN [20:12] how do i turn this off? === Sup|Lobby is now known as Guest98501 [20:12] Cube``: Yes. [20:12] root@a:/home/a# dpkg -- get-selections grep virtualbox [20:13] Hello everyone. I seem to be having an issue with sound. It minimally works. If I max out everything I can hear it a tiny bit from my headphones for sound. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this issue? [20:13] preecher: Ahh. I see. You need a pipe between --get-selections and grep. It's the key next to the right bracket. [20:13] Augh who the hell suggested tinycorelinux :P [20:13] | [20:13] andai: Um, you did? [20:13] Jordan_U: ok cool, thanks for the help. what if 10gb turns out to be too little? will i be able to resize it? aaaand, can i reinstall windows without breaking the linux installation? [20:13] Kyle__ I think it was Dr_Willis === Longhorn|XP is now known as Longhorn [20:14] Kyle__ Basically both GParted and e2fsutils and ntfstools are all just one version too old to do what i need :P === Guest98501 is now known as MePHiSTo1 [20:14] Kyle__ I guess i'm getting the Live CD after all [20:14] Kyle__ or does anyone here no a noncrappy tiny distro that can resize stuff [20:15] something for a 2gb usb stick [20:15] andai: Sorry, I've not payed attention to mini-distros for awhile, I don't knwo what's out there. [20:15] Cube``: Yes on #1, though you'll need to resize from a LiveCD. Yes also with #2, with the caveat that you'll need to re-install grub from a liveCD, http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [20:15] danmsmalllunix [20:16] it says no such file or directory [20:16] is they a easy way to just uninstall and reinstall [20:17] preecher: Synaptic? [20:17] Jordan_U: ok yeah. thanks! [20:17] steven haha i guess DSL is a lot better than TinyCore yeah [20:17] steven is installing dsl to usb easy? [20:17] i done removed it and reinstalled it from synaptic [20:17] Cube``: You're welcome.

When I do, I get the main Gnome panels displaying as well as the Netbook launcher - how can I go back to the "Netbook 3D" interface but making it work? [20:35] martian... ok sir. you help me then. show me up [20:35] is there a way to make the ircii session transparent like regular terminal windows? [20:35] Unclemantis: what's your question?

I have a little bit of non Ubuntu related problem. I burned an ISO to a CD disk and I cannot boot it. I set CDRom to be the primary boot device but it doesn't boot. I tried it on a different computer and there it worked [20:37] so the CD is ok. I replaced the CDROm and the IDE cable and still didn't boot [20:37] i tried proftpd and i had trouble with that [20:37] now i am having trouble with vsftpd [20:37] need help with sound [20:37] :) [20:37] Unclemantis: You can setup vsftpd easily if youd prefer to use accounts that could also login locally. The way you are doing it now creates accounts that are not regular unix logins. [20:37] WFT is wrong with my server!? [20:37] Unclemantis: Okay. I'm trying to help. [20:37] Pici i have regular unix accounts [20:38] pici i see that and THANK YOU! [20:38] Unclemantis: have you read what Pici suggested? Using htpasswd, requires editing op pam.d/vsftpd [20:38] s/op/of [20:38] can sticky bit be used to force a specific permission… like force group write permission [20:38] i have a local user. How do i use the local user [20:38] Small question to anyone: is there a reason that "rsync -avv ........." would not copy permissions correctly? [20:39] too many vs [20:39] webP [20:39] Unclemantis: Change local_enable in your vsftpd config file to YES [20:39] Unclemantis: open /etc/vsftpd.conf, see the line concerning local user login [20:39] oops. I meant to say webPragmatist, too many "vv"s? [20:39] Cameron242: Can you run "lspci > Desktop/lspci.txt" and pastebin lspci.txt? [20:40] Esperantist: maybe the fs you are transfering to doesnt support them properly [20:40] or the ids dont exist [20:40] aristo, it didn't work [20:41] I am looking for a non-composited docklike application. Any suggestions? [20:41] hi, i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 alternate amd64 from an usb stick (no cdrom available) using the startup disk creator (on a 10.04 32bit system). the md5sum of the iso is fine.

[21:01] would it make sense to rsync link the /home/cube folders of both my laptop and my desktop? i keep the documents elsewhere, but would like the .folders to sync. do the .folders only contain user settings, or also things that are system-specific and would break it being synced over two different systems? different as in different hardware, software is both ubuntu 1004 [21:01] Okitain: that won't work if it's expecting/linked against redhat libraries [21:01] So, are there debs? [21:01] judgen: did you try running cairo-dock without it using opengl: cairo-dock -c [21:01] Okitain: have a look [21:01] aenima1891: yes; that or use google ones ( 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ) [21:01] Where? [21:02] Cube``, /home/$user should only contain user-specific settings [21:02] Okitain: on the internet [21:02] Okitain: in the ubuntu repos [21:02] on the quake website [21:02] or maybe somebody knows how to control which monitor windows get created on in a dual-monitor setup? [21:02] bastidrazor, oh, yeah.. htat worked fine [21:03] Cube``: It _should_ only contain settings specific to $user.

[21:19] opij: i have an nVidia 5500 that does very well.. agp card [21:19] i thought perhaps there is an easy way to make that 60 second countdown [21:19] opij: i have `not` upgraded that box to 10.04 though. so that is untested [21:19] cause it has been in recent versions [21:19] my sound device disappeared after upgrading, what can i do about it? [21:19] erUSUL: uh what suggesting opij buys an ATI card for Linux. ATI has many problems with Ubuntu! [21:20] erUSUL: i've no response [21:20] aenima1891: i think the problem is in the windows configuration. but i can not help there [21:21] erUSUL: damn..thanks for your help anyway!! ;) [21:21] sebsebseb: ati cards have free drivers that work well [21:21] erUSUL: oh yeah, even for Compiz and OpenGL games, well I guess some of them, but many no [21:21] can i undo an upgrade?

I'm looking for information on getting Xorg to see both my radeon video cards. [21:27] theory-m, is it crossfire [21:27] ? [21:27] tertl3, I don't think so. [21:27] theory-m, do they work as one card? [21:28] like sli? [21:28] <[FB]Chris> Hi, does anyone know if a tool like dd exists, but it only clones indexed data? === vivid` is now known as vivid [21:28] tertl3, no. Each card has two outputs. [21:28] [FB]Chris: what is "indexed data" ? [21:28] On card 1 I have two monitors working perfectly [21:28] theory, you need to know these things [21:29] <[FB]Chris> erUSUL: I don't know what it's called in nix, i'm a bit of a nix noob, but i can explain it [21:29] on card2, the third monitor is where the console goes (ctrl+F1). [21:29] theory-m, it is most likely only gonna be able to use 1 at a time unless they are crossfire cards [21:29] <[FB]Chris> basically i am trying to dd a hard disk and pipe it to bzip2 (which works fine) but it is very slow and not much of the disk actually has data on [21:29] rly? Lame. [21:29] [FB]Chris: dd copies bytes from one file to another [21:29] then it would just recognize the two as one [21:29] <[FB]Chris> so out of this 120gb partition only, say, 20gb is used [21:29] <[FB]Chris> is there some way to get it to copy only the used amount? [21:29] <[FB]Chris> or rather, clone it? [21:29] [FB]Chris: use a specialized tool like partimage or fsarchiver [21:30] tertl3, is there a way to query the hardware to find out for sure? [21:30] <[FB]Chris> erUSUL: you sure partimage can do that? [21:30] [FB]Chris: but you know bzipping 0's should be fast enough ... [21:30] <[FB]Chris> it's not that, it's just that we don't really have the storage space for it [21:30] <[FB]Chris> it's some really stupid laptop [21:30] [FB]Chris: well i think it does not support ext4 yet so use fsarchiver [21:31] <[FB]Chris> you have to physically remove the mb to get to the HDD [21:31] <[FB]Chris> no back panel [21:31] <[FB]Chris> erUSUL: it's NTFS [21:31] [FB]Chris: also bzip is really a poor choice ( gzip or lzma/xz ) [21:31] [FB]Chris: ntfsprogas has a ntfsclone tool [21:31] <[FB]Chris> erUSUL: why is bzip a poor choice? i got the impression it was a good middle ground between gzip and lzma [21:32] Lynx: Is it possible to make a Windows share using Wine ? [21:32] toyman61, Use samba for that [21:32] theory-m, search the datawebs [21:32] [FB]Chris: imho the compression gains you get are not worth the extra slowness vs gzip. and if you really only care for space then lzma/xz compresses more even if it is slower [21:33] i use nvidia but i seriously doubt you are gonna get good performance out of 2 seperate cards at one time..........think about the cpu cycles [21:33] Hi all! I have a really quick question. Ive been looking into a method to get the information from my Google calendar available to a terminal based application like calcurse. What app could help get the ical files from google? [21:33] I'm looking at this page http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop and I dont have the minimum requirements for running the player.

Also: better ask your *real* question (detailed, in the channel, please) [21:34] opij: those requirements are conservative, if you are close you should be ok. [21:35] <[FB]Chris> erUSUL: thanks :) i will do that. [21:35] Once I've installed the music app from synaptic, how do I find and use it? [21:35] thune3: how do you know? [21:35] why does rythmbox restart the current playing song if I middle click on something in firefox ? [21:36] opij: because i run it very well on cpu that doesn't meet requirements. Just download it and run it and see if it work ok. [21:36] erUSUL: i found the files he play with [21:36] .ro [21:36] Saxon: what app ? Rhythmbox is already installed... Aplications>Video and sound holds that apps [21:36] thune3: are you just running hulu in your browser or are you running the actual hulu desktop player? [21:36] MaMoUs: ... which ones ?

[21:39] oh [21:39] I'm looking for a hand getting my USB headset's microphone working in Ubuntu 10.04. Does anyone have some time to help me trouble shoot? [21:39] Zomb: if a bug status needs to be changed, you can request it in #ubuntu-bugs [21:39] There must be a way to tell ubuntu to use both cards for Xorg [21:39] Saxon: dpkg -L pavkagename | grep bin [21:39] juken: Does it show up in System > Preferences > Sound? [21:39] something with the X/KernelModeSetting perhaps [21:39] n8 [21:39] maco: actually, I will just leave a "recommendation from Upstream" and wait for Ubuntu people to deal with that [21:40] erUSUL: i installed the backport thing, now my sound is muted [21:40] Zomb: at least give me the bug number. i'm an dev, so i can set bug statuses [21:40] Jordan_U: yep, and it's selected, but I doesn't work. Output works fine, but input is not working. [21:40] as in no sound [21:40] but the devices are present [21:40] What command can I use to see what program has a particular tcp port opened? [21:41] MaMoUs: if you have the how to you can just "undo" what he did. i.e begin in step 5 and stop the daemon then undo the edits ( or remove file when you create one) [21:41] savid: man nmap or man netstat [21:41] savid: netstat -anp | grep 80 [21:41] savid: or whatever number [21:41] hey whats a good way to list the groups a user is in? [21:41] Wavesonics: just type "groups" [21:41] groups [21:41] ah, thanks [21:41] MaMoUs: and purge the packages he installed [21:41] erUSUL: i did but same problem i think maybe he could delete something [21:41] Hi! Could anyone recommend a good ebook reader? I'm thinking about start reading them on my netbook. [21:42] maco: it's about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/+bug/602593 [21:42] erUSUL: i don't know if he isntalled any thing [21:42] maco: but I think I will leave it as is [21:42] even if the requester is more rude than I expected to be [21:42] MaMoUs: step 1 is an instalation- sudo apt-get install xl2tpd --> sudo apt-get purge xl2tpd [21:42] savid: lsof | grep ESTABLISHED # also works :) [21:42] erUSUL: done [21:43] MaMoUs: he also have played with the routing table but that should have reseted itself with a reboot [21:43] MaMoUs: step 2 is undone? i.e you edited the file and removed what's there ? [21:44] I have rt2860 wireless card, and it looks like it's not loading the firmware for it, but i put rt2860.bin in the /lib/firmware directory, yet modinfo does not list anything for firmware, any idea? [21:44] MaMoUs: also step 3 you removed the file he created ? [21:44] Zomb: have you seen http://blog.launchpad.net/bug-tracking/new-bugs-status-opinion ? should i set that?

[21:47] cutiyar, boot a live session [21:47] erUSUL, is there a way I could change this? [21:47] hi [21:47] machete: use « sudo -i » instead, but you'll have to add the user to the admin group first [21:47] from there you can see you partitions and backup [21:48] cutiyar: first, don't boot windows.

[22:33] erUSUL: thank u very much bye for now [22:33] MaMoUs: yw [22:33] how can I force this package to uninstall?? http://dpaste.com/216121/ [22:33] shane2peru: is that your only reason to believe not everything was removed?

[22:34] jrib, here is the report from trying to remove it: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NpJgkVW7 [22:34] Anyone here using banshee, please confirm it is running fine [22:34] yes secure wiping =), had some business-files on it , that shouldnt have been here [22:34] osmosis, you have to stop it first...use the top command to find the process and kill it -- then try removing the package [22:34] but it takes lot of time for 200GB [22:34] hola [22:34] When i open a program like rhythm box, i have to open it twice to get it to actually open. Ideas as to why? [22:34] jrib, given that f-spot repo version doesn't work, and the warnings of removing it, I'm thinking something was left over. [22:34] kleopatra it will be zeroing every sector [22:35] shane2peru: what warnings? === chikokishi is now known as Chikokishi [22:35] chikokishi maybe it opens in top panel? [22:35] slidinghorn, its not running. it wont start is a problem actually. [22:35] osmosis, well according to that paste, it can't *stop* running [22:35] jrib, these warnings: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NpJgkVW7 this was from trying to remove the built from source version .7 [22:35] Sensiva, what do you mean? [22:35] kleopatra, .... it will be super slow [22:36] Chikokishi it opens the first time already but hidden in the top panel, right next to the clock [22:36] kleopatra i'd say 30min [22:36] kleopatra, urandom is slow ~ sugguest you do 3 zero pass ~ that should be good enough [22:36] ok ty so far [22:36] you can keep working in foreground [22:36] shane2peru: that doesn't really look significant. Why don't you uninstall f-spot and see what's left? And use apt, not dpkg [22:36] Seviva, Oh wow.. Yep! lol.. This is my second day using Ubuntu.. trying to learn xD [22:37] nice [22:37] another thing: i had 10 trojans on windows, do i have to or should i change all my passwords i used? (email,etc?) [22:37] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 but when i click my username to log into ubuntu, i get this error -> 'Error Initialising conversation with authorization system - general failure'. I have tried restarting but i still get the error. [22:37] Chikokishi Glad you did, Happy Ubuntu ride \o/ [22:37] jrib, ok, how do I see what is left. [22:37] kleopatra, of coz [22:38] Sensiva, what is the Ubuntu equivalent to windows ctrl+alt+delete? [22:38] shane2peru: well... check the relevant f-spot folders. In addition to that, you should rename the f-spot directory in your home [22:38] Im trying to work Warsow, but it keeps freezing, and i dont like cold restarting my computer [22:38] Chikokishi Do you mean task manager? [22:38] sorry I didnt mean to be ungrateful its just hehe there is something things you cant be bothered to read about heh [22:38] Sensiva yeah [22:38] Hi folks ..

[22:39] Chikokishi top [22:39] Kingsy101: whether we type them or just give you a url where they've been typed already, the instructions still have to be read by you [22:39] Chikokishi press CTRL+F1 this will lead you to the console, kill any frozen process then come back to the desktop enviroment using CTRL+F7 [22:39] blain ? [22:39] open a konsole [22:39] type top [22:39] Chikokishi or in System -> Administration -> System Monitor [22:39] jrib, sometimes one just can't be bothered to read a user's questions :) [22:40] !who | blain [22:40] blain: 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 :) [22:40] Sensiva, i just tried CTRL+f1, but nothing happened [22:40] blain: also, please don't use enter as punctuation :) [22:40] omg i'm getting hammered from all sides [22:40] Chikokishi sorry its CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+ALT+F7 [22:40] May I ask for some help to configure Ubuntu 10.04 ... especially Pulse Audio?

Im trying to play Warsow, but it keeps locking up on me [22:42] Hi there, I'm back! Adding "text" to /etc/default/grub worked perfectly. I have another question .. what's the meaning of certain configuration files in /etc being followed by a dash (e.g. passwd-)? They seem to be copies, are they backups from a dist-upgradE? [22:42] killall name [22:42] Chikokishi nope you didn't , maybe you need to crawl a bit in Ubuntu community documentation, its an interesting place for brief technical articles that for sure would help you [22:42] slidinghorn, it's failing to stop the server because the server isn't running, because it won't start? [22:42] Chikokishi and who knows one day you might enlighten us with your articles as well ;) [22:42] osmosis, paste the output of top to http://paste.ubuntu.com please [22:42] jrib, ahh, I missed the folder .config/f-spot I found the other, .gconf/apps/f-spot but that first one was the problem, thanks! [22:43] Sensiva, so once i get to the console thing.. How would i shut down the program that is frozen? [22:43] Sk1nk, what do you mean the mixer is gone? [22:43] killall [22:43] or using kill with pid [22:43] blain just type killall? [22:43] Chikokishi first you need to know its process PID by listing all running process using "ps" , then kill it using kill [22:43] man killall [22:44] BigMao: yes, they are generally backups. Also maybe named passwd.bak or something similar. Might as well keep them around, you never know when they'll come in handy... [22:44] blain: could you please include the nick of whoever you're talking to? It's getting confusing [22:44] Slidinghorn, I think there was a mixer in 9.10 and 9.04 where I could choose capturedevices, but if I now open Audio there is just the window where i could configure the Hardware. [22:44] slidinghorn, http://dpaste.com/216125/ [22:44] shane2peru: cool [22:44] Chikokishi if the currently running processes are many using grep is a good idea, "ps | grep rhythmbox" ◀▬▬ that who list only rhythmbox [22:45] Loshki, thanks. :) [22:45] I need some help with ubuntu wireless [22:45] Sk1nk: alsamixer, its still in 10.04 [22:45] Sensiva, ok i went into the consol and logged in and tryied ps. but it didnt tell me anything about running programs.

[23:01] So does anyone know how I could make Pulseaudio listen to the Line-In and play it on the Digital Out? Maybe by reconfiguring the default.pa to play the sound, normally played on hw:0,0 on the hw:0,1 instead? [23:01] merlin2049er, as usual new features scares people.

[23:07] judgen: The one on ubuntu that send mail when logging on a tty - command line.

[23:08] kb9tui, i dont have it, so for me to help you i need the name of the app... sorry [23:09] slidinghorn: I'm just not able to capture it live, i can record but not listen to it. [23:09] Its a unix mail program. I will see if I can get the name.

O.o [23:12] Mattias: and your command will shutdown the pc directly bcause & is thread [23:12] oh [23:12] [background] [23:12] Mattias: setting the root-environment correclty, not like sudo su which is setting the enironment incorrect [23:12] jpds: that is a thread [23:12] jpds: for me [23:13] jpds: starting to commands in one line is a thread for me [23:13] Mattias, if you wanna use your command, use that: sudo su -c "mplayer movie && halt" [23:13] kb9tui, i am truly sorry, i have no idea what app that is. Try running a ps -A to locate it [23:13] megra, please don't recommend sudo su...use sudo -i instead [23:13] slidinghorn, if you say so :) [23:13] Mattias: read what i have wrote about sudo su [23:14] Mattias: wrong nick [23:14] megra: read what i have wrote about sudo su [23:14] And I've used sudo su so much -.- [23:14] lol [23:14] Ciao a tutti..

[23:15] BluesKaj, wellcome then =D [23:15] Mattias: mplayer has a shutdown-option [23:15] O.o [23:15] great! [23:15] will check it out [23:15] judgen, thanks :) [23:15] slidinghorn: Do you know how the Applet that opens if I press "Audio Preferences" is called? Maybe I get some information about reconfiguring it if I could google the name? [23:15] Sk1nk, volume/sound control is in the indicator applet [23:16] iceroot, you could use a double "su", one to get priviledge for "halt" and another one inside to downgrade your previledge and start mplayer [23:16] kb9, that is hairloom and you should just use alt as modifier key [23:17] BluesKaj, i have seen no angries today, maybe it is going to be a greay day..

I've tried going through the options but the only things i saw that looked relevant don't work: the "scaling" slider maxes out at 12% (which i assume is the scaling required to get it on one page) and the "shrink/crop/expand" selection doesn't seem to do... [23:18] ...anything. [23:18] * Xthor is running lubuntu on his eeepc 900 [23:18] By the power of grascull!

[23:20] It was the first text editor I got to use when I first used Gentoo [23:20] Mattias: vi != vim [23:20] and is there really no metapackage that does it all? [23:20] My main comp is now a proud Arch box [23:20] like ubuntu-desktop should?? [23:20] iceroot, it seems effective and clean to me [23:21] megra: so you have user-specifc sudo-settings [23:21] Arch = slackbased? [23:21] orangey, I know you won't like my answer, but consider reinstalling from scratch after backuping your data. Failed upgrade usually are a nigthmare :) [23:21] that's it! plymouth-theme-ubuntu [23:22] megra: nah. [23:22] megra: it would be a personal failure [23:22] like rebooting : ) [23:22] Mattias, odd, vi is installed by default with kde users [23:22] orangey, you can try to know which packages are installed by default on a brand new Lucid ubuntu, and installed the same [23:22] BluesKaj: vi is installed default for nearly all distros [23:22] Sensiva: Did you install the Bansee ppa? [23:23] "banshee [23:23] BluesKaj: but noone wants to use vi, the people want to use vim [23:23] exactly! [23:23] vim for the people! [23:23] zkriesse yes I said that already, but the currently installed version is from lucid-updates [23:23] ok [23:23] Sensiva: Hmm [23:23] Euphus, that's off-topic for here, but Arch is pacman based [23:24] really ? , well to each his own , I just use the run command box for text files [23:24] Sensiva: So has it worked for a while and THEN it failed or did you do an install of it and then poof, fails right of the get go [23:24] zkriesse was working fine, till I rebooted that day, it never showed up again [23:24] zkriesse I didn't install any extra packages [23:24] hmm [23:24] Archlinux and pacman stuff can be discussed in #archlinux [23:25] :P [23:25] I'm afraid to install the latest nvidia-drivers, I heard that it will prevent brightness levels from working [23:25] -.- [23:25] works with default drivers that comes with the cd [23:25] megra: i also figured out you just have to put the username in /etc/shutdown.allowd and call shutdown -a -h now no need to mess with sudo [23:25] Anyone happens to have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 in here? [23:25] malvarma, hence, why I told him it was off-topic here... [23:26] !anyone | Mattias [23:26] Mattias: 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? [23:26] Ok i have no help requests pending, anyone need anything? [23:26] iceroot: that was my real question :/ [23:27] slidinghorn, right. [23:27] exit [23:27] Mattias, ok...if someone said they did, what would you have asked them? [23:27] slidinghorn: Toshiba power! [23:27] BluesKaj, i mean today is quiet, i usually juggle between 2-5 helps at once =) [23:27] I guess I'm alone :/ [23:27] Mattias: this is ubuntu support not toshiba fanboy-channel [23:27] BluesKaj, maybe everyone just know by now. hehe [23:28] iceroot, I prefer the sudoers way though :) , anyway, good night, it's midnight in France, let's go to bed! [23:28] judgen, wait til the next updates are posted in the repos :) [23:28] I'll ask my other questions in queue: Is there a detailed tutorial on how to easily switch to WMII from default gnome in ubuntu? :) [23:28] BluesKaj, true [23:29] WMII(2)? or WMII [23:29] slidinghorn, ; can u help me with my vista home edition? it runns slow?? [23:29] WMII, version 3.6 [23:29] !ubot windows [23:29] Euphus, no, sorry...you need to ask that question in ##windows [23:30] Mattias: I would imagine you install it and then under your login prefs set it as the default session. [23:30] I just put an old Yamaha DS-XG sound card in my PC and ubuntu isn't detecting it, what should I do to get it working? [23:30] stupid, i just did [23:30] Karth, x64? [23:30] dugger5688: I'd like it to have no gdm running either ^.^ [23:30] nope [23:30] Euphus, well this channel is for ubuntu support only. We don't offer support for Microsoft products here [23:30] x86 [23:30] so I guess, settings in .xinitrc, .xprofile or something [23:30] Hmm, what's the login manager for WMII? [23:30] dugger5688: console [23:30] Karth, did it work in earlier versions of the kernel? [23:30] startx [23:31] judgen: no idea, came from a parted win98 system after the intergrated sound in this PC blew [23:31] slidinghorn, but i did ask in a window.. [23:31] Euphus, please don't troll here [23:31] !ot > Euphus [23:31] Euphus, please see my private message [23:32] How can I allow remote X connection on Lucid (i.e remove the -nolisten tcp from X startup)? [23:32] Mattias: Try this maybe? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1322949 [23:32] Karth, could you give me the details on your sound card (atleast as good as you can) as yamaha never made any sound cards only the chips for the cards. [23:32] model's and such are good [23:32] Sensiva: I'm sorry but i've got no idea what's wrong [23:32] Judgen: sorry that is the info on the chip, its got no stickers on it but it used Yamaha DS XG PCi drivers on the 98 [23:32] zkriesse thank you very much for trying, much appreciated, and congratulations for the membership [23:33] Sensiva: Ah ok... [23:33] Sensiva: what membership [23:33] gah, ubuntu wants me to restart [23:33] Karth, i assume you use the default ALSA and pulseaudio? [23:33] brb [23:33] zkriesse Ubuntu membership [23:33] Jungen: yep default AFAIK [23:33] Sensiva: Ah ok...had that for a while now [23:34] :D === mirai is now known as twock [23:34] Hi, since I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 I have a lot USB hub crashes, like every 1-2 days of operation. Computer runs (for example I can see a screensaver) but not any USB device works anymore. Any thoughts? [23:35] Hello, i have a deadcell in my screen [23:35] how can I remove it? === ey_ is now known as EY-Archive [23:35] Karth, ALSA is a movin architecture, and it might be worhtwhile to try using OSS4 instead, as it supports almost all cards from hercules2 to RT888. but you might find that the default mixer might be a bit low.. but if it works we will get to that later. [23:35] Imam_Ali, not sure what you mean by "deadcell" [23:35] judgen: alright, how would I go about that? [23:35] wait [23:35] it's gone, slidinghorn [23:36] so nevermind :| [23:36] Imam_Ali, lol ok [23:36] slidinghorn: like, a black "dot" in the screen :p [23:36] wheres a common place to store your ssl keys [23:36] Karth, should be fairly easy on an default ubuntu box. just install OSS and it's dependencies. Pick it in the sound system preferences dialogue and log in and out.. [23:37] Hi i am having trouble with the Gnome Partition Editor, and i can't seem ot update it [23:37] i've been throwing them in /var/www/mydomain.com/ssl [23:37] but it seems odd [23:37] judgen: ok, let me go do that [23:37] ok so i just installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition to my dell dimension 2400 (yes, old) and it works great for a while.... after a while the screen goes black and the top half of the screen flashes white intermittently, i am not understranding it... GUI problem? [23:37] Hi, I'm trying to select packages I install while using Ubiquity. How to do that? I'd like to tell it "I want this one, this one, and that's all" [23:37] rebooting fixes it until i get back on it heh [23:37] tm0, are you logged into your machine or on a livecd? you cannot edit partitions while the HDD is mounted [23:38] Slidinghorn, i am editing a partition that is not mounted as the primary one. [23:38] tm0, primary or not...if you are mounted to the drive, you can't edit the partitions [23:38] grand_grunt, i dont to want to be a "retard" (maybe that is illegal now since Palin said it is offensice) but have you tried synaptic instead? [23:38] oh god -.- It's 00:38 -.- I guess I'll fix WMII tomorrow [23:39] judgen, as much as I can't stand her...it's probably best to keep politics out of here ;) [23:39] judgen: according to this OSS is installed already [23:39] Slidinghorn, i don't get what you mean? It let me start the operation, unlike the Ubuntu partition, but stopped after a few minutes [23:39] judgen: Let me explain. I want to install some parts of backtrack on a 2 Go hard drive. backtracks needs 4 Go to install all. [23:40] tm0: the question is, are you logged into your Ubuntu installation? if you are, you cannot edit the partitions. [23:40] Karth, do you have the oss-alsa libs? [23:40] grand_grunt: buy bigger usb stick :) [23:40] euph0ria: It's a real IDE hard drive, yeah :D [23:40] well, wife's windows pc needs some help, again ...BBL [23:40] is there anyway i can fix my problem? I don't even know why the screen goes balck..... theres nothing i can do either... only thing i know to do is restart and it works for a little while but then goes black again [23:40] grand_grunt: buy bigger IDE hdd :) [23:40] judgen: ah no didn't have the alsa wrapper, installing [23:41] Slidinghorn i am. But i'm trying to edit a windows one. I could've sworn i did it before [23:41] grand_grunt, excuse my stupidity, what is a Go? a Gb or a GB, or something else? [23:41] lunatic! [23:41] tm0, doesn't matter which partition you're trying to edit...you have to do it from a livecd [23:41] judgen: It's a Gigabyte [23:42] That stupidish. :/ Fine i guess, thanks a later Slidinghorn [23:42] Karth, without the wrapper you should not hear a single sound from an alsa bound app [23:42] judgen: anyway, not the point ;) [23:42] Hi [23:43] grand_grunt, do you want a bootable usb with parts of backtracks? [23:43] slidinghorn, ; Arch is slack based [23:43] well the sound card still doesn't appear in sound options [23:44] judgen: No, a IDE drive, but it's the same (I use a IDE-USB adapter) [23:44] hry [23:45] grand_grunt, are you sure you do not mean backports? because backtrack is not an app i have heard of outside the amiga community. [23:45] I have a problem mounting one of my 3 drives. When I try and manually mount it (sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test) I just get a busy error. [23:45] judgen: does it matter that the card is 12 years old now? [23:45] Euphus, no...it's not...and yet again, that is not to be discussed here. Last warning before the ops are alerted [23:45] i am unable to install ubuntu it freezes during partitioning when i try to partition myself it give me an error message "Error creating partition daemon is inhibited" how can i fix the problem? [23:45] judgen: backtrack provides patched wireless drivers that I need [23:45] It's an ext3 formatted drive and it worked 2 hrs ago. [23:45] Karth, no, OSS can use my vortex1 that is from 1990 witrhout any problems [23:46] judgen: odd, well the package is installed but nothing [23:46] slidinghorn, ; did that message make you feel powerfull? and yes it is google it god damnit!! [23:46] matyd: are you affected by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes , you can run "lspci | grep VGA" to see if you have 8xx series graphics [23:46] Karth, but remember old chips as well as new ones to a various degree is mad out of silicon, and might be broken. [23:46] !language | euphus No...Arch is not based of anything...it's inspired by crux but that is it...now drop it. [23:46] judgen: the card works, I used it a week ago before that pc was parted [23:46] euphus No...Arch is not based of anything...it's inspired by crux but that is it...now drop it.: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:46] ok so i just installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition to my dell dimension 2400 (yes, old) and it works great for a while.... after a while the screen goes black and the top half of the screen flashes white intermittently, i am not understranding it... GUI problem? [23:46] Karth, also you *might* have to reboot, sorry. [23:47] judgen: lol well brb then [23:47] grand_grunt, what does backtrack do? [23:47] ok, if somebody knows my only linux-prob i`ll bow to u.. wanna try? [23:47] judgen: I need it's aircrack-ng features [23:48] I can even see the partition when I do a sudo fdisk -l [23:48] Can someone help me please, I have no idear where to go from here. :\ [23:48] grand_grunt, For cracking your wifes separate wifi? =D [23:48] judgen: Who cares? [23:49] can someone please help me with video problem in xbmc all video will play fine in mplayer but when I play it in xmcb i only get sound and then it will crash xmbc [23:49] judgen: I ask about ubiquity and the possibility to choose packages it installs. [23:49] hmm, still no go on the sound card [23:49] slidinghorn, : slolve my prob? wine kills my spotify sound, have to run it from terminal to get it right.. why do my soundcard crash when i run it up from a shortcut? [23:49] grand_grunt, can't you pick what you want from synaptic, was my first answer. [23:50] Plimmer: Does "pgrep fsck" print any output? [23:50] Euphus, wine support isn't offered here either. ask in #winehq [23:50] I dont mind hacking of wifis. as long as it isnt in malignant purposes. [23:50] hmm... in power management preferences, if I set the "put computer to sleep when inactive" to 10 minutes. does the computer counts intself as inactive if I stream from it to my xbox? [23:50] whut? [23:50] Jordan_U: Yes, 422 and 434 [23:51] Plimmer: Fsck is being run in the background, just wait untill it's finished (do *not* try to kill fsck or shut down) [23:51] wine is an app for translation of calls from the xserver to win32/64 api [23:51] civixier: yes, most likely unless the program you're using can poke the gnome-screensaver and keep it from turning on. [23:51] Jordan_U: Okay. :) [23:52] judgen, ohh?? hehe [23:52] Jordan_U: Thanks alot. :) [23:53] Plimmer: You're welcome :) [23:53] dugger5688: hmm... actually i am sharing my video files via samba. maybe it doesnt matter. [23:53] civixier, First of all, if you use a LDC you do not need a screensaver now'adays. But if you want one anyways you can autostart vlc with a movie in a certain movie every time you are inactive for a certain amount of time. [23:53] civixier, : so u trust samba? [23:54] euphus, working so far :) [23:54] judgen: so any suggestions on the sound card? [23:54] judgen, the whole computer to sleep, not a screensaver [23:54] civixier, : not too good for open ports.. much bugs in samba [23:54] Karth, ok let me ask you this, (i know you said it before) but what is the model of your card or chip. [23:54] civixier: why is a fileserver set to sleep anyway? [23:55] civixier: why sleep? it isn't running on battery - is it? [23:55] Euphus: do you have an ubuntu support question or not? If not, please take your off-topic banter to #ubuntu-offtopic [23:55] a Yamaha DS-XG PCI, I can't be more specific unfortunately as the sticker fell off a long while ago [23:55] euphus, its a crossover cable ;) [23:55] civixier, ;) [23:55] civixier, why do you need sleep at a certain time? intend to sleep by the computer? just put it in sleep when you leave it =P (so sorry if that sounded condescending) [23:56] I am in need of help enabling wireless internet for Ubuntu 10.04 [23:56] mo__ I rather want the computer to hibernate when inactive [23:56] slidinghorn, ?? [23:56] civixier: that shoudn't be a prob .. however, I'm more worried about the wakeup. how o you intent to wake it up? [23:56] civixier: via network? [23:56] judgen: if I can't get this working I have a modem/sound card combo, but I couldn't even get it working on windows [23:57] if i want a virtual machine do i download from ubuntu foftware center the vbox gtk or the virtualbox ose ? [23:58] Karth, priv [23:58] can anyone help with xbmc [23:58] Euphus, it was pretty straight forward...you've not provided any type of support, nor have you asked any ubuntu-related questions. Those are the only two types of posts to be put in here. So please, either stay on topic and ask your ubuntu-related question/help out, or go to the off topic channel. [23:58] preecher virtualbox-ose. [23:58] civixier: man 8 sleepd should help if it's just about the matter to put the computer to sleep. waking up is another question ;) [23:58] wizard_: you can try asking here, also #xbmc and #xbmc-linux might help you [23:58] dugger5688 thx [23:58] slidinghorn, ; ok , i can start helping :) [23:59] dugger5688, none one answers in there like here lol [23:59] dugger5688, it's just it will not play video only sound from video and the video will play prefect in mplayer any idea
