[00:00] yey the new kernel uppdate was a great one!! yeeey [00:00] wizard_: How did you install it? [00:00] I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it? [00:00] mo__ I think we have lost eachother on the way. I have an xbox, connected to my computer via a crossover cable. I want to be able to fall asleep while watching something. Both the xbox and the TV turn theirself off when inactive, i want the computer to do the same thing. [00:00] dugger5688, from a website added the repo and it installed === homer is now known as Guest94072 [00:00] wizard_: are you on 10.04, and did you use the ppa method? [00:00] I'm looking for a command line javascript interpreter but i can't find any in the repos. anyone know of something I can use? [00:01] any ideas on debugging what might be wrong with my audio? it worked fine yesterday & today it wasn't working at all except for line-in... i ran `aptitude safe-upgrade` before rebooting & now i'm not getting any audio [00:01] dugger5688, yes ppa mate [00:01] slidinghorn, ; why do not my tuxracer work ? [00:01] !details | Euphus [00:01] Euphus: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:02] doope [00:02] do [00:02] innstaled it two times, never works [00:02] civixier: ah yes ;) so .. hmmm... let sleepd watch the network device you use to connect to the xbox and set the --tx-min to something useful ... like more than 100kbit or so ... [00:02] wizard_: What graphics card? [00:02] civixier: why don't you manually tell the computer to shutdown / fall asleep after a certain time? that's what I usually do ;) [00:02] hey, i just upgraded to 10.04, installed on an ibm thinkpad z60m, with radeon x600 graphics card... x keeps stalling! can i down grade back to 8.04? [00:03] dugger5688, ATI catalyst [00:03] mo__ That was my original question, if the computer counts itself as inactive if the network is "running" :) [00:03] slidinghorn, ; i have a lucid 10.04, downloaded and installed tux2 and racer twice.. when i click on it nothing happens. [00:03] mo__ but it doesnt? [00:03] civixier: I wasn't here back then :p but yes, that's possible :) [00:03] I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it? [00:03] Euphus, run it from the terminal and post the error(s) to http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:03] civixier: you told sleepd to behave this way and it didn't work? [00:04] wizard_: closed source drivers or open source? [00:04] mo__ ahh, thank you ^^ so... how do I set the computer to hibernate after a certain time of inactivity? :D [00:04] mo__ I havent done anything so far [00:04] civixier: sec [00:04] dugger5688, I've installed opengl, mfegg codecs and everything nothing wont play video nor did boxee how can I find that out mate, I installed ubunut and everything worked [00:05] I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it? [00:05] jvai: unless you made a full backup before you upgraded, you can't downgrade. Your closest alternative would be to reinstall 8.04 from scratch, or fix your x11 problem (easier said than done). Sorry... [00:05] cameron242, : google it [00:05] !google | euph0ria [00:05] euph0ria: 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. [00:05] oops [00:05] Euphus, see what ubottu said [00:06] civixier: man 8 pm-suspend - you can use it like this ... sleep 3600; pm-suspend; that would let it wait for an hour, then execute suspend [00:06] Euphus: I have tried everything. I am literally like 2 hours new to this stuff. [00:06] I thought this was support chat [00:06] dugger5688, it says opengl in graphics card info [00:06] civixier: ugly thingy is, that if you ctrl-c the sleep, it'll go immediatly to suspend ... hmmm sleep 3600 && pm-suspend should do the trick ... sry about the mixup before [00:07] dugger5688, version 8.723.1 [00:07] cameron242, it is...ignore Euphus -- he's been trolling the room for the past hour or so [00:07] thanks mo__, thats awesome, i will never again need to disturb my beauty sleep ^^ im gonna look into that [00:07] cameron242, ; broadcom is not linux friendly :( [00:07] how to lock updates of kernel? [00:07] 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... To get arond this (for a very short time, since it keeps doing this) i just reboot and that works for a litte bit. [00:07] So basically [00:07] Euphus, that's not true either. [00:07] I can't even connect at all? [00:07] o [00:07] civixier: np :) [00:07] I found a download: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [00:07] wizard_: Did you install the closed source drivers? Also have you tried many videos? [00:08] can some one tell me how to say one thing togather two person at here like matyd, bla bla [00:08] cameron242, take a look here, it will tell you how to use the driver there with ndiswrapper (which uses windows wireless drivers on linux systems): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 [00:08] some .... not so clever person from canonical allows update still with stupid bug disallowing Gobi2000 G3 modem. 10.04 is so loooking like still pre alpha.. [00:09] purvesh: just put both names at the beginning, separated by a comma... [00:09] dugger5688, don't no what I installed but it will play all video in mplay or micro tv but not in xbmc [00:09] anybody? [00:09] cameron242, it's a little technical, but it should work [00:09] slidinghorn, ; why use ndiswrapper?? oohh, because ikt is not linux friendly?? [00:09] !patience | matyd [00:09] matyd: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [00:09] Euphus, do you have anything positive to contribute?? If not, then leave. [00:10] slidinghorn: Do I run that from Accessories>>Terminal? (Sorry this is the first time I've ever used linux) [00:10] matyd: what video card are you running? "lspci | grep VGA" [00:10] Sorry [00:10] cameron242, the commands in that thread? yes. [00:10] ok, thanks [00:10] np [00:10] thune3 one sec [00:10] slidinghorn, ; why use apps to get something to work ? why dont get something THAT works, can`t i say my meaning?

[00:12] Euphus: Instead of trolling here, why not write letters to the companies that provide shoddy linux support? Requesting better support in the future. [00:12] slidinghorn, I helped :) [00:13] mo__: I had lightning installed, and it just disappears randomly [00:13] at the end it says- E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper-common [00:13] matyd: i believe you are affected by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes . the instructions under the section "Potential Solution: PPA packages" probably have your solution. [00:13] cameron242, trye without -common [00:13] how do i check which graphics driver im using [00:13] o [00:14] k [00:14] matyd: sorry that fix is only for 855gm chip [00:14] ahh [00:14] cameron242, are you connected to the internet at all?

[00:15] cameron242, oh...you'll need an internet connection to install anything :-\ [00:15] hi, my system shows my sound card is chip/codec "VIA ID 441". i have no idea what driver/module to use to get that to work.... im pretty sure its an hda intel card [00:15] iflema does that output the driver im using or just the graphics card? [00:15] matyd: workaround A might do the trick for you. [00:15] So [00:15] i can't fo it =\ [00:15] *do [00:15] I have a wintv aero stick and I wanted to setup lirc. Unfortunately the stick or better the infrared sensor of the stick does not appear in cat /proc/bus/input/devices any ideas? [00:15] okay thank you thune3 [00:15] bobbytek: oh, am not sure about lightning, sorry, can't help here if you don't get an errormessage. did you check syslog?

[00:19] cameron242: can you read/write to the windows filesystem(s) from ubuntu? [00:19] cameron242: Ok, let me give you setp by step directions to get open source drivers working. [00:19] cameron242: You have absolutely no cable or ability to get cable. [00:19] no [00:19] sorry [00:19] thune3: these workarounds are if your can't boot into GUI correct? [00:19] everything is wifi [00:19] so would i fall under the same bug? [00:19] cameron242: do you have bluetooth on another computer that is connected to the net? ;) [00:19] cameron242: First, boot into windows and download these files: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz and http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz [00:20] I'm using a netbook and trying to install a few games through wine/playonlinux. I'm having some problems that I think might be because wine/pol is looking for an actual cd-rom drive instead of the images im mounting with gmount. Is there anyway to "fool" ubuntu into thinking a directory is the cdrom drive? [00:20] cameron242: follow Jordan_U [00:20] Like on diablo it's telling me it doesn't have the play cd in drive, while the play cd is mounted - installation works, playing does not, same with WOW [00:20] hi i seem to be having an issue where the resolution on my insignia 22 inch monitor will not change to anything larger than 1024 X 768. How can I fix this? The nvidia settings will allow me to select something higher but then the monitor goes black. [00:20] well playcd image is mounted [00:21] Hi. I did a system update yesterday night and when I turned the computer on today, my home directory vanished. I think ecryptfs screwed something up [00:21] Judgen: ok, swapped cards, this one appears in the device manager, but not in sound options [00:21] LinuxUser123, sure you have the right driver [00:21] clayg: copyprotection & linux emulation is always a pain ... do you really want to bother? [00:21] ? [00:22] clayg: go to winecfg and set one of the drives to the directory that the CD is mounted to. [00:22] matyd: the screen going irreversibly black qualifies as a lockup. You can hit shift on boot and add "i915.modeset=1" after "quiet splash" to the grub line. If this fixes your problem then you can make this permanent using the commands in the yellow box of 'Workaround A' [00:22] I was wondering if I could get help recovering my home folder from .Private [00:22] clayg: afaik, with the latest diablo2 patch you don't need the play cd any more if you copy the MQPs over ;) [00:22] Euphus: no, but it does the same thing on the proprietary nvidia driver as the non-proprietary driver [00:23] LinuxUser123, and your card is a nvidia? [00:23] cameron242: Once you have them downloaded put them somewhere where they will be easy to find within Ubuntu, like C:\. Tell me when you're done with that. [00:23] Euphus: yes [00:23] Am using Ubuntu 10.04. I recently installed the Bisigi themes. But as the screenshots suggest, my login screen does not change. Any help? Am a little new to Ubuntu.. [00:23] Karth, that is usual due to the identifier only using 4bit space [00:23] Euphus: when i use a different monitor all is fine [00:23] lwilliams: did you write down the loooong password that ubuntu gave you after you first set up your encrypted homedir? [00:23] Euphus: its only this 22" thing [00:23] yeah [00:23] LinuxUser123, ; then the monitor can`t handle it [00:24] Euphus: any way around it? [00:24] lwilliams: eh, k, I didn't expect that. let me check. [00:24] Jordan_U: Ok. I installed Ubuntu on C:\ [00:24] I tried following some instructions to remount it elsewhere, but the mount came up empty [00:24] LinuxUser123, ; get a new one ;) [00:24] LinuxUser123: Does the monitory support higher resolutions? [00:24] Euphus: yes. [00:25] Euphus: insignia ns-LCD22 [00:25] Am using Ubuntu 10.04. I recently installed the Bisigi themes. But as the screenshots suggest, my login screen does not change. Any help? Am a little new to Ubuntu.. [00:25] lwilliams: did you try the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering Your Data Manually ? [00:26] LinuxUser123, ; it can`t handle it [00:26] LinuxUser123: That looks like a TV... It can't go higher than 720p I'm guessing (~1024x768) [00:26] cameron242: Ok, now boot into Ubuntu and run "ls /host" in a terminal and tell me if those two files are listed. [00:27] Euphus: says it supports 1680x1050 [00:27] dugger5688, ; accel-innstaled? [00:27] i use 1680x1050 [00:27] Karth, it helps if you priv msg me, as i do multiple things at once as usual [00:27] Joradn_U: Still downloading :P [00:28] dugger5688; it is 720p but im not sure what that means, specs show 1680X1050 [00:28] the ones I followed were http://www.kaijanmaki.net/2009/10/26/recovering-files-from-ecryptfs-encrypted-home/ [00:28] which look very similar [00:28] after I mounted it, the mounted home was still empty [00:28] but the .Private def has stuff in it [00:29] Moving files [00:29] Am using Ubuntu 10.04. I recently installed the Bisigi themes. But as the screenshots suggest, my login screen does not change. Any help? Am a little new to Ubuntu..

[00:31] hi [00:31] lwilliams: looks pretty similar. darn ... can anyone else take alook here? I thought my loopaes experience might help ... but this looks quite different [00:32] slidinghorn, : winehq was a quiet channel ... lol [00:32] Jordan_U: Where do I add the files? Ubuntu is installed in C:\ubuntu [00:32] Bah, nm, I'm going to consult the forums! [00:32] cameron242: Install them in C:\ubuntu then. (it doesn't really matter where they go, as long as they can be found easily) [00:33] ok [00:33] what happened was I originally had encryption installed. Then I disabled it somehow (I believe by editing some settings file, but I forget what). I then copied my files over to a clean home folder (with no .Private) , and all was good for a few weeks. Then last night, ubuntu did an update and I think overwrote a settings file and this morning, when I turned the machien on, no home folder but a .private folder [00:33] Okay, rebooting to load ubuntu [00:34] Question, I deleted my linux partition in windows and when I reboot with the windows installation CD and select repair to fix the mbr it can't find the harddrive? [00:35] ok [00:35] rebooted [00:35] gonna write that code you said [00:35] lwilliams: I'd try using a livecd to check the home partition directly, without ubuntu trying to mount the encrypted stuff. perhaps something got mixed up there. just a shot in the dark though .. [00:36] like use the same instructions, but boot with a livecd first? [00:36] Jordan_U: I ran that line and they didn't show [00:36] is it possible to see if the key I wrote down is correct? [00:36] lwilliams: you think your data was decrypted - so check if it is there, unencrypted. if it isn't, try to decrypt it and then copy it over to a unencrypted filesys. [00:37] Jordan_U: I ran that line and they didn't show [00:37] I think the update from last night somehow went and re-encrypted it [00:38] hello [00:38] Jordan_U: These are all files from C:\ no C:\ubuntu [00:38] *not [00:38] lwilliams: I don't think it would re-encrypt it, but perhaps think it is encrypted and cannot decrypt it - althought it isnt at all. and therefore get mixed up..... dunno. livecd was just an idea. [00:38] is anyone else having miserable performance with Rhythmbox and Evince? I suspect it's a gvfs or fuse issue [00:38] cameron242: Since you put them in C:\ubuntu\ the proper command to check for the files would be "ls /host/ubuntu" [00:39] ah, yeah that makes sense [00:39] ok [00:39] ok they showed [00:39] Hi, i'm having an issue with starting a KVM guest on a clean install of Lucid 64bit server - The entire machine locks up with no evidence as to why - The same setup works on a Desktop Livecd, what's the best way to troubleshoot the problem?

I want one agent shared between all my ssh sessions. [01:14] Question, I deleted my linux partition in windows and when I reboot with the windows installation CD and select repair to fix the mbr it can't find the harddrive? But if I boot a live cd and look at Gparted I see the drive and the files right there. Anyone know what the problem can be? [01:14] slidinghorn: Did Jordan_U leave? [01:14] cameron242, no idea [01:15] ok [01:15] lee__: were you able to see the hdd using the windows cd before now? [01:15] anyone no xbmc :( [01:15] I had to go eat dinner [01:15] slm [01:15] acaire: Didn't try [01:15] acaire: more importantly, it also leaves them running when I exit the ssh session. [01:15] I am not too happy. [01:15] While installing Kubuntu, the installer crashed when I pulled it out of a sleep like mode. [01:16] Why is the installer going into sleep mode in the first place? [01:16] lee__: if you're using a SATA hdd it's possible the windows cd doesn't have drivers for it - is it xp? [01:16] acaire: Yes [01:17] acaire: So i'm probably going to have to hook up maybe a usb floppy disk with drivers and press F6 right at the beginning of the windows cd startup [01:17] lee__: you'll need to use something like nLite to slipstream the SATA drivers into a new cd - I haven't had too much success in the past [01:17] yes if you have a floppy disk drive that's the best bet. [01:17] anyone know xbmc before I start to cry lol [01:18] acaire: Oh that just sucks [01:18] corespeedxxx: I know you. [01:18] Hello Linuxers! I just introduced myself to Ubuntu via Wubi... A little reading showed me that a normal install of Ubuntu is more efficient - is there a way to cleanly and (fairly) painlessly convert my Wubi install into a full install? [01:18] Just ranting into the wind. [01:18] qr: not sure to be honest - have you considered using screen? [01:18] Jordan_U ARE YOU THERE LOL. [01:19] Has anyone here used Ubuntu 10.10? My mouse pointer disappears after about 3 seconds of inactivity. Is there a setting for that? [01:19] By the way, I'm an idiot. Bear with me :P === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [01:20] acaire: So probably, when I first got my laptop if I had put in a windows XP cd, it would of told me it couldn't find the harddrive? [01:21] acaire: or did this happen because I delete the linux partition? [01:21] nikolaos: I don't think that there is a way to turn a Wubi installation into a "real" Ubuntu installation. the installation process is straight forward and if you haven't installed a lot of software and done a lot of customization then it would be very easy ton install Ubuntu once again from Live CD. [01:21] nikolaos, yes fresh install start from scratch if you want tt right i would suggest [01:21] can anyone help me mount usb drive for Panasonic (Matsushita) Lumix DMC-FZ10 Camera [01:21] Alright, sounds fine. I have only installed a few trivial, useless applications and I have a Live CD sitting right by me. [01:22] Thanks for the quick responses! [01:22] nikolaos: Then would suggest to install it from scratch booting the Live CD. [01:22] *Then I would [01:22] Alright, will do. I'd best get started now - thanks, and bye! [01:23] nikolaos, kool live cd will walk u through it /// by the way use 9.10 if u want a smooth install and operating system 10.04 still has many bugs [01:23] hiexpo: What kind of bugs, I haven't had any problems with bugs in 10.04? [01:24] slidinghorn, any idea how to get this triple booter working without leaving Supergrub disk in the drive? [01:24] Thanks, but I'm a Windows-user - I'd be freaked out if there weren't any bugs :P [01:24] acaire: yes I have, unfortunately it has similar problems. the separate bash instances in screen do not share an agent unless screen is a child process of the agent already. The only option that leaves is to run all my connections into a shared screen session which is not very appealing. [01:24] Sam_Fisher, no idea...never tried more than 2 os's [01:24] nikolaos: I use 10.04 and haven't got any problem with bugs but maybe hiexpo is right. [01:24] I think I'm just going to give up and use a paswordless key === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [01:24] realubot, drivers etc [01:25] nikolaos: 10.04 is LTS and therefore has got support for more years. [01:25] I'll keep a few gigabytes in reserve in case I ever decide to roll back to 9.10 [01:25] slidinghorn, any tips on dual booting when Windows breaks? [01:25] hiexpo: Ok, I haven't had any problems yet using 10.04. [01:26] could somebody refresh my memory on how to burn an album i downloaded from Ubuntu Music Store [01:26] hello [01:26] i can't F'n remember, LOL [01:26] nikolaos, there is no roll back [01:26] I've just installed trickle to throttle the upload speed of firefox by 'trickle -s -u 20 -d 120 firefox' [01:26] but somehow firefox won't open :/ [01:26] realubot, your fortunate [01:26] DeadmanIncJS: Maybe using brasero?

[01:27] i have that program already [01:27] but i can't seem to find the files [01:27] Hello, can i set it that when i grap a window to move it around that it will be transparent while i move it? [01:27] slidinghorn: faster and generally more stable, at least for 10.04 [01:27] Ideally more featured [01:28] DeadmanIncJS: http://gadgethubs.com/burn-your-newly-purchased-ubuntu-one-music-store-music/ [01:28] amokpaule, yes, you can. I believe with compiz [01:28] bobbytek, evolution's a full suite including tasks, calendars, etc. thunderbird (without extensions) is strictly email -- if you're looking for speed and don't need all the extras, I'd probably recommend thunderbird, as it doesn't have all the extras evolution has [01:28] lee__: no it wouldnt've been due to you removing the linux part, it would've always happened [01:28] DeadmanIncJS: maybe you will find the solution in that link. [01:28] slidinghorn: thanks for tip [01:28] thanks [01:28] DeadmanIncJS: "One of the first issues you will come across is locating your music. You might assume the music to be in either ~/Music or ~/Downloads. It’s not. It’s carefully “hidden” in ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One." [01:29] Agu10, ty [01:29] realubot, many things that were available before are becoming obsolete as the distros grows [01:29] hiexpo: Give me an example of that please? [01:30] ahh there we go [01:30] ok, thanks fellas! [01:30] * DeadmanIncJS thank's everybody [01:30] DeadmanIncJS: No problem. [01:31] that is kind of lame they have it hidden like that [01:31] acaire: Yea i'm reading about it now, this is crazy. This is the first time i'm trying this. the computer came with windows 7 but was downgraded to XP. I dual boot it with linux just messing around wanted to put windows back on it and now this problem. [01:32] realubot, like compiling many apps can't say that in here or i will get in trouble walking on thin ice in here got in trouble a week ago for using lol so minding my p's and q's but you talk to me in pentoo or backtrack [01:33] lee__: now you see why we use linux ;) [01:33] hiexpo: ok, nevermind. I was only a little bit of curious. [01:33] what kinf of software can i install to upgrade my desktop? :D [01:33] acaire: Yep, this was a work computer. I just use linux at home. [01:34] lee__: i has to do with the bootloader I think? [01:34] *It has [01:34] hey, can anyone help me compile this app? It's hosted on git, and I've never used hit before. [01:34] * hiexpo realubot no prob [01:34] realubot: maybe if the fixmbr didn't work, but if the hdd isn't visible at all, it's drivers. [01:35] realubot: yea I know what I needed to do to fix the bootloader, but I just can't get the winXP CD to recognize my harddrive. [01:35] lee__: Ok, weird. [01:35] yea [01:36] can someone tell me how to kill a program that crash ? [01:36] wizard_: killall firefox [01:36] lee__: yeh try nLite - you may get lucky and the standard driver pack will support your hdd [01:36] wizard_, find the process id by using top then kill it with kill [pid] [01:36] how can i check how much freespace on my ubuntu server? [01:36] RickyWh: df -h [01:37] slidinghorn, how can I do that lol [01:37] /dev/sda2 147G 188M 140G 1% /mnt [01:37] does that mean 140gigs? [01:37] RickyWh: correct [01:37] wow, sweet [01:37] yep [01:37] acaire: I'll try it tomorrow, Thanks. This is another problem with the Intel 82845G/GL/GE Chipset it doesn't work correctly with 10.04. All type of problems. [01:38] open a terminal (menu>accessories>terminal) type: top then look for the program and hit q to quit the monitor....remember the process id and type kill followed by the process id [01:38] how can I download ALL packages installed on this PC to /var/cache/apt/archives? I want to create a "perfect" cache disk. [01:38] wizard_, ^ [01:38] wizard_: http://www.ehow.com/how_4505779_kill-process-ubuntu-terminal.html [01:38] wizard_: There you have info about finding the PID etc. [01:38] lee__: does it flicker the screen when booting the livecd? [01:38] geowany, you mean a backup cd iso ? [01:38] realubot, thanks [01:38] hiexpo, yes! [01:39] geowany: you're looking for a way to get a list of installed packages? [01:40] geowany, if you have not cleaned your system get apton cd / sudo apt-get install aptoncd [01:40] hiexpo, yes! I'm using aptoncd [01:40] acaire: thats whats interesting, the live cd works flawlessly, its once its installed. It never gets to the login screen, it show the cursor and then the cursors disappears and it just loops. [01:40] wizard_: alternatively you can press ALT+F2 and run "xkill" and just click on the app you want to kill, be careful using this. [01:40] I seem to be unable to chown my external HDD from linux (I need to get write permission). GParted shows it's filesystem as hfs+. I don't want to reformat it as I have data on there. Is there a way to set permission at mount so I can write to this partition on my external? [01:40] how can i see the whole output of top if it's too large? [01:40] geowany: Maybe this is something that would be of interest: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/install-mintbackup-linux-mint-backup.html [01:41] geowany, well it will show all this available before you save if you cleaned your system there gone [01:41] lee__: you could try and boot with "nosplash nomodeset" and see if it gets you to a text login at least. [01:42] hey, how do I rip a dvd with dd? [01:42] is it just 'dd if=/dev/(device) of=~/name.iso' ? [01:43] acaire: I believed I tried that but that didn't work. I deleted the intel_drv.so driver then I was able to log on, problem was I couldn't change resolution. The highest was 1024x768.

[02:17] shazbotmcnasty: dd should work but I find you need to specify block size, count and conv=notrunc to get a faithful copy. Also, converting to avi is time consuming, and you will lose quality by going to/from avi format. If you're getting read errors from the disk, it's because it's damaged or needs cleaning. Try using windex on it. [02:17] cameron242_: No, sudo remembers your authorization for a few minutes. [02:17] ok [02:17] good [02:17] so what now? === Zeike is now known as brandonj [02:17] cameron242: when you run sudo it asks for your password, the system also remembers it for 15 minutes so any command ran afterwards with sudo won't ask for your pass. you didn't do anything wrong [02:17] Was anything supposed to happen? [02:17] Othor: I looked in there... that's not even /close/ to being a real wpa_supplicant.conf [02:17] cameron242: stop pressing enter so much. Been taking lessons from shazbotmcnasty? [02:18] like more text appear? [02:18] sorry lol [02:18] I am used to that way [02:18] cameron242: the bot is gonna end up kicking you [02:18] Othor: it's an XML file rather than what the manpage for wpa_supplicant.conf describes [02:18] cameron242: I know, but it makes it harder for everyone to read because of the extra scrolling... [02:18] cameron242_: If the commands worked then you'll now have directories named "b43" and "b43-legacy" in /lib/firmware/. You can check that with "ls /lib/firmware/" [02:18] Okay [02:19] Can I get a full list of instructions? [02:19] cameron242_: If those directories exist then just reboot and hopefully you'll have wireless. [02:19] syntaxman, yeah mine looks like XML too [02:19] Loshki: what would you suggest for block size, count, etc [02:19] what do I put? :3 [02:19] Ok, lemme reboot then [02:19] BTW that problem occured when running PCManFM as root as well. The folder is shared by samba if it means anything [02:19] I am on my laptop now, it could be 10-15 mins [02:19] syntaxman: ubuntu uses network-manager by default, so there won't be a wpa_supplicant.conf, unless you disable network-manager and use /etc/network/interfaces, then you can create one with wpa_passphrase [02:19] brb then [02:20] shazbotmcnasty: please stop typing enter so much. Let me look at my script and see how it does it... [02:21] trism: OK.. I don't see where nm keeps net specific settings either. [02:21] trism: I'll hunt some more [02:21] syntaxman: run nm-connection-editor [02:21] shazbotmcnasty: first, I type: isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 [02:22] syntaxman: system connections are kept in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ [02:22] syntaxman: but you don't generally need to edit those [02:23] Nice to know it exists, though. [02:23] syntaxman: without nm-connection-editor I mean [02:24] shazbotmcnasty: see the logical block size (almost always 2048) and the volume size (for my dvd, it's 3287649). Then do dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=3287649 conv=notrunc > /disk/dvd.iso [02:24] trism: It's empty. That's weird. [02:24] oh okay [02:24] W00T! [02:24] it worked! [02:25] does the number 3287649 come from anything Loshki ? [02:25] Jordan_U: Thank you SO much! Can I get a wesbite name to tell my friends? [02:25] anyone else get black areas on your screen when using Thunderbird in the LTS? [02:25] ATI fglx driver. [02:26] i *think* the black areas go away if i turn on compiz, but that breaks OpenGL across the whole system so... [02:26] syntaxman: it only creates system connections if you run nm-connection-editor with gksudo or check the "Available to all users" box in the config, I don't know where the per-user connections are kept [02:26] shazbotmcnasty: yes, it comes from the isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 command. It's the size of your dvd in blocks. It's different for every dvd [02:27] Okay [02:27] now one more questiong [02:27] oh okay [02:27] Loshki: I got another IO error, and I already cleaned it off [02:27] I [02:27] I tried to install gimp using 'apt-get install gimp' but I got an error [02:28] srry, I'll use that thing that Jordan_U suggested [02:28] cameron242: sudo apt-get install gimp [02:28] error-Couldn't find package GIMP [02:28] i can anyone help me with a boot up problem. my girlfriend accidentally removed power from the computer and now everytime i boot up i get ubuntu is running in low grapics mode and i cant continue [02:29] shazbotmcnasty: it may be damaged, or scratched, or something. Some readers do better than others when performing error correction. Do you have a different drive you can try it with? [02:29] yeah, got the same error too:/ [02:29] cameron242_: show me the exact command you are running please [02:29] complete different computer in fact... [02:29] Problem Firefox + Facebook hanging on the static.ak.fbcdn.net server [02:30] is it GIMP? [02:30] cameron242: sudo apt-get install gimp [02:30] IdleOne: sudo apt-get install gimp [02:30] i have a tower that i run all the time and i have been wanting to install linux on it, and i have been trying ubuntu, and several other os, it will not boot anything, from usb or disc, what could be holding it up from booting [02:30] shazbotmcnasty: sounds like the disk itself is damaged. See if you can copy it using vobcopy, or dvdbackup. [02:30] cameron242, yeo [02:30] maelwryth: sounds like a facebook problem [02:30] yep [02:30] IdleOne: That's what I am using [02:30] tried compatibility modes in bios everything i can think of [02:31] cameron242: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [02:31] cameron242_: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [02:31] cameron242_: Linux is case sensitive. Be sure to use small letters. [02:31] okay [02:31] everything is lowercase [02:31] Dmstrdj: does it boot windows disks? [02:32] cameron242_: 03:29 < cameron242_> error-Couldn't find package GIMP [02:32] i thought gimp came preinstalled [02:32] oh yes just fine lol [02:32] hiexpo: not in 10.04 [02:32] anybody have any comments on VirtualBox vs KVM for desktop virtualization on Lucid? [02:32] oh [02:32] hiexpo: Not since 10.04. [02:32] IdleOne: I installed Ubuntu on Windows XP, will I have to boot windows? [02:32] vmer: vbox is easier to use [02:32] cameron242_: boot windows for? [02:32] anyone know a better extension for syncing bookmarks between multiple computers/browsers(firefox && chrome) than xMarks? i want to drop this because i was looking at wireshark for something else, and saw that even though i turned off all the 'search assistance' it still reports to xMarks every google search i make [02:32] * Maletor can't wait for gnome-shell [02:32] it has windows installed and i have been trying to dual boot it [02:33] Dmstrdj: have you checked the dvd to see if the image is uncorrupted? [02:33] to get ect\apt\sources.list [02:33] cameron242_: in a terminal type gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:33] cameron242_: forward slashes [02:33] but it wont finish loading, and i have tried several operating systems [02:33] ddilinger: Dropbox? [02:33] and the discs boot fine on anything else [02:33] realubot: will that sync between firefox and chrome though? i thought dropbox was just raw file storage [02:33] cameron242_: then open paste.ubuntu.com and copy paste the contents of the file to the pastebin and give us the URL [02:34] maco: how so? [02:34] the bt4 i just installed on usb, is running great on my netbook right now live [02:34] arrg [02:34] vmer: there's a gui to get everything setup just like with vmware. kvm you have to use qemu on the command line and i find it a bit confusing [02:34] !backtack [02:34] got to the loading screen in bt4 on the tower and it froze [02:35] !backtrack [02:35] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [02:35] hello all. [02:35] ddilinger: I meant sometinng like this: http://myubuntublog.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/sync-firefox-bookmarks-to-dropbox/ [02:35] maco: i believe there is a UI for KVM too. virt-manager, or something like that [02:35] Dmstrdj: when you say 'several operating systems', do you mean different versions of linux, 'cos they all use the same kernel, more or less... [02:35] is it possible to make a device that captures all my outputted stuff? [02:35] I want to record all output [02:35] but from command line [02:35] vmer: its not that easy to use, and i think its for configuring existing vm's...but its been a year since i last used it [02:36] orangey: tee? [02:36] realubot: ahh, yea unfortunatly wont work for me:( need to sync between linux, windows, chrome, and firefox [02:36] hi [02:36] vmer: eh? [02:36] well im not sure but i have been a disc jockey for a lil bit, and bt4 is based on ubuntu 8.10 [02:36] IdleOne: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/85BFUp2k [02:37] orangey: maybe i misunderstood. tee lets you run something that goes to stdout and a file [02:37] vmer: Indeed we may not be on the same page. [02:37] cameron242_: ok your sources.list looks fine. [02:37] would anyone mind helping me with a wireless networking problem i'm having? [02:37] Dmstrdj: well, if you're not fed up with trying, I would try 8.04, as it's very stable & mature and runs most anywhere... [02:37] the tower was running bt for the longest time and i just dont understand whats holding it up now [02:37] i have tried every thing i can find [02:37] vmer: so, I have my happy pulseaudio life. I want to capture the aggregate output and send it to an alsa or pulse or whatever device [02:37] so that a command line program can access it [02:38] just like now I can access my microphone and line-in [02:38] Dmstrdj: maybe you should be asking about backtrack in #backtrack-linux [02:38] anybody play with eucalyptus? [02:38] cameron242_: it is important to remember that Linux is case sensitive. Anyway open Synaptic Package manager from System > Administration menu [02:38] wanted to use the new ubuntu, but i tried 9.10, and 10.4 now and nothing works [02:38] will never boot [02:38] ddilinger: Yes, I saw that. You probably will find another solution to sync between Chromium and Firefox. [02:38] *will have to find [02:39] Dmstrdj, yes backtrack is based on ubuntu but ubuntu does not supply support for it / backtrack has it'sown support channel #backtrack-linux [02:39] cameron242_: in the search box type gimp and see what it says [02:39] yes i know im there too [02:39] Ocaasionaly through out the day with out warning the cursor starts flashing very fast as if a key is stuck...sometimes I can wait it out but most of the time I have to unplug the keyboard for it to work...Only happens in ubuntu...w7 no problems [02:39] Dmstrdj: ok, good now be patient in there and wait for an answer [02:40] IdleOne: What file am I looking for? [02:40] But everything i asked did not have to do with backtrack [02:40] cameron242_: in Synaptic? search for gimp [02:40] IdleOne: Opened [02:41] i was looking for answers not smart alecs [02:41] I did, there's a bunch of wierd file names [02:41] Dmstrdj: sounds like hardware issue [02:41] i have changed evetything but the mobo [02:41] Dmstrdj, i am in there and i do not see your ? [02:41] cameron242_: such as? [02:41] cameron242_: look for the one named GIMP [02:41] well look again [02:42] There is none [02:42] i c u [02:42] Dmstrdj: does this computer boot anything? [02:42] boots windows only [02:42] Jordan_U: how do I use this gnu ddrescue? [02:42] cameron242_: try gimp vs GIMP if you're apt-get install-ing stuffs [02:42] I installed it [02:42] read the man [02:42] but still don't get [02:42] shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:42] been trying to boot ubuntu on it for couple months [02:42] anyone here use ubuntu wirelessly? [02:42] oh yeah, use enter less [02:42] I did [02:42] did you have network problems? [02:43] Docteh_: problem is that cameron242_ is getting package not found. this is his sources.list http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/85BFUp2k [02:44] cameron242_: What happends when you execute this: sudo apt-get install gimp [02:45] i can anyone help me with a boot up problem. my girlfriend accidentally removed power from the computer and now everytime i boot up i get ubuntu is running in low grapics mode and i cant continue [02:45] Okay guys....I'm freaked out now [02:45] Need help - why is it so hard to share file with windows? [02:46] O.o [02:46] cameron242_: Stay cool. :) [02:46] cameron242_: why are you freaked out? [02:46] It just worked [02:46] hehe ok good [02:46] tre: You have to use Samba I think. [02:46] Because it just worked [02:46] tre: What's the problem? [02:46] how do I access a windows sharea [02:46] cameron242_: glad to hear it [02:46] I did it again [02:46] sudo apt-get install gimp [02:46] Thanks [02:46] i loaded samba and its not doing much [02:47] for all the help === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out [02:47] cameron242_: welcome [02:47] I might have more questions later [02:47] :D [02:47] You should be able to access it in the connect to server box. Put the name or IP address of the Windows box, then put in the name of the fileshare. You can leave the "folder" field blank [02:47] upgraded my tower and trying to use the mobo i had in another, but it will not boot any linux, ubuntu i have tried for a long time, so i tried other things and different versions of ubuntu, and it will never finish loading [02:47] Jordan_U: oh no, it's not working [02:48] time since last successful read - 1.5m [02:48] cameron242 everyone here is more than happy to help u here [02:48] always hangs at boot up, if i used an older version of ubuntu would that help [02:48] cameron242_: If you fel that Gimp is to complicated then you want to try Pinta. It's like a Paint.NET clone in Ubuntu. [02:49] instead of the new versions [02:49] I can see my windows shares - but cant open them [02:49] I have used GIMP on Windows before [02:50] tre: Do you see the files from Windows? [02:50] tre: Then it may be due to permission settings maybe. [02:50] for now I am just trying to see windows from linux [02:50] I need to go [02:50] Thanks for all the help everyone! :D [02:50] I figure thats easier [02:50] cameron242_: No problem. [02:50] I can see the machines but cannot browse the files [02:50] hi. I have a disk partitioned by a NAS device and am trying to access it under Ubuntu 10.04. The fs is ext3+extents, and when I try mount -t ext3 -o extents, Ubuntu says "unrecognized mount option extents". any tips on what to try next? [02:52] tre: Are you having file on both Ubuntu and Windows that you try to share in each direction? [02:53] Tre, do you have permission to open the files under the username you're using to log into the windows machine? [02:54] well - yes both machines have the same username === horndog_ is now known as horndog [02:54] If I recall correctly, you can't browse shares. You can only connect directly to a share. [02:54] ok how do I do that [02:54] You must first know the name of the share you're trying to connect to [02:54] tre: I don't really understand the problem. The only advice I can give you is to checkthis video and be sure yiou have done all this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89hjWOb8qmY [02:55] When you connect to the Windows box, you put the IP address or name of the windows box. You should also see a field called "Share" put in the name of the Windows share. Case-sensitive. [02:56] when I connect where - file manager? [02:57] dos any one know how show am/pm in panel clock [02:57] test [02:57] how can I reinitialize my wireless kernel module? I'm having a problem coming out of hibernate/suspend sometimes with it, and ifconfig up/down doesn't work. [02:57] tre: http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/Fishscene/ConnecttoWindowsviaubuntu.png [02:58] bebo_: right-click the clock select preferences/12 hour format [02:58] bebo under preferences, accessable form right mouse click [02:58] bebo_: its in pereferences if you right click [02:58] not appear [02:58] lies [02:58] u mean 12 h and 24 h [02:58] seidos rmmod > then modprobe? [02:59] * MaRk-I do'h [03:00] i got a problem where i can't connect to my wireless, its WPA-PSK, i read some threads about it, but i didn't really get what the fix's were, anyone mind helping me? [03:01] It is asking for the password ... DarkX [03:01] seidos: what if you just restart networking with: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? [03:01] ya i put the password in [03:01] question: Can I install firefox 3.0 or higher on ubuntu 6.10? [03:01] It is wrong though [03:02] and then it sorta just does its thing in the background and then says you can't access it [03:02] MaRk-I, doesn't work. I also tried force-reload [03:02] no i know its right cause i typed it multiple times [03:02] MaRk-I, and I also tried dhclient, something is happening with my wireless, and only my wireless after hibernating and/or suspending [03:02] and i'm connected to it right now using my other partition [03:02] how close are you to the AP [03:02] seidos: then do what koshari suggested [03:02] i'll try the restarting thing [03:02] hi, it's safe to remove "commun unix printing system"? because I dont use any printing device on my netbook [03:02] No more hint :( Sorry :( [03:02] xev, yes === rt1_ is now known as rt1 [03:03] * DarkStar1 is now back and offering help/advice [03:03] MaRk-I, all right. And koshari, thanks, I'll try that next time === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:04] Is there a keep alive option for the gnome ftp browser? [03:04] DarkX: It is the password for your Wireless only [03:04] Compiling, I can use synaptic package manager? [03:04] cilly try this in to software sources http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu [03:04] After save it. [03:04] seidos: rmmod "module", insmod "module" [03:04] xev: ofc it's safe. Though if I were you I wouldn't. Just disable the service from starting. you never know one day you might need it. [03:04] Hey. Im going to set up my Ubuntu Lucid box as an SSH tunnel. However, I'm not sure how to get my computer visible away from home; that is, connect via an external IP address. How can I do this? Thanks! [03:04] my bad was about to restart [03:05] what'd you say? [03:05] avi_ port forward or dmz [03:05] look for those router features [03:05] lubuntu is based on ubuntu but there is not folder sharing on the right click??? what do I need [03:05] MaRk-I, insmod, got it, thanks [03:05] DarkX: It is the password for your Wireless only. It will ask only once time. [03:05] Compiling: Log into my router config and look for port forwarding configs? [03:05] seidos: yw [03:05] DarkStar1, I want to gain freespace. I got 3gb only [03:05] avi_: It depends on how long you'll be away from home for. I mean if you know your IP before you leave, whilst you're away the lease could expire and the IP change [03:05] yes [03:06] avi_ id recommend setting up dyndns [03:06] ya it asks me for the wireless passwod [03:06] xev: I don't think cup takes any significant amount of space to be worth it [03:06] password* [03:06] and then it doesn't work [03:06] avi_: just adjust your router to port forward the selected ssh port to your pc [03:06] here lemme try again then [03:06] 10.04 server ( just upgraded and NFS4 with extremely slow network connection, followed guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto#Installation but only getting 3mbit on 100mbit connection and I used to get near the max of 11.0mbit on 9.10 server nfs3. Any ideas? [03:06] Compiling: I'm in it -- I've actually got it config's for DynDNS. Perhaps it does actually work! [03:06] Give it and ask it to save it for good.

I've had a look at the 'bootup-manager' (bum) tool, but it seems to report inaccurate results e.g. it says smbd is *not* set to run at boot time, yet the smbd process is running on my system! [03:14] we'll see what your times worth [03:14] and linux desktop aint happening [03:14] How to disable or enable services ubuntu..any GUI? [03:14] linux has made me a fair bit so far :) [03:14] no linux certs, all self taught [03:14] Compiling: Okay, I inputted it into my custom web address. Should it be an instant update? As in, will I be instantly able to SSH to my computer from that address? [03:14] currently an admin for a large scale company [03:15] hould i use the snakeoil.key for anything [03:15] compil - whats on their desktops [03:15] avi_ no you will also need to forward ports [03:15] xev: hey, I'm just looking at that myself...try 'bum' (bootup-manager) [03:15] tre: all our servers are linux [03:15] and your desktops are....drum roll - windows [03:15] no duh [03:15] we arent going to pay to teach over 500 people linux [03:15] porjo, not installed. do i need to install? [03:16] but knowing how to configure it comes in handy [03:16] we have about 10% of our employees using linux [03:16] xev: yep, sudo apt-get install bum [03:16] compil what about active directory all the goes away them your just using persmissions from linux? [03:16] running simulations [03:16] xev: then you should see a new icon under the 'System'->'Administration' menu [03:16] tre: google openldap [03:16] Compiling: I'm using a Linksys router.

I'm having some problems setting mine up the way I want [03:25] i have spent 2 days trying to get a FTPSD running with no luck. I am then told to connect via SSH using SFTP so I did that and it worked! Now 5 hours later I try again and it won't connect. I then try to SSH into the account and I get the welcome to Ubuntu and the document url and stuff and then this "Connection to gigdates.com closed." WTF happened!? [03:25] Compiling: i've seen homepages with structured source viewing, it was somehow easy to upload, maintain and publish =) [03:25] idk: git?

I used "fdisk -l" and you can see the NTFS partitions, but when I try mount - it doesnt see it [03:55] DarkStar1: if you want to see the layout of the file, use man 5 passwd [03:55] since I installed 10.04, vlc runs at a low framerate (~20fps) even though it's only using 2-3% of the CPU, anybody has an idea what I could be looking at? [03:55] video drivers [03:55] drivers would be my guess [03:55] I think it has to do with the detected refresh rate of my monitor [03:56] ok I'll see if I can install other drivers, thanks [03:56] Compiling: I'm trying to bind one directory from my usb drive to a directory, not the whole hd [03:56] so anyone have any ideas for my problem? or anything they can refer me to -- google hasnt worked up to this point [03:57] Compiling: On my other computer i could put the bind command in the /etc/rc.local file [03:57] Nighthwk: mount --bind [03:58] Thalone: i'm not an expert. are you mounting automatically using gnome, using fstab, or manual mount command? [03:59] Nighthwk: you may also be interested in a symbolic link [03:59] im having some ssh troubles at the moment [03:59] see man ln [03:59] look at the -s switch [03:59] if you mean the linux partition im assuming its being done automatically as i go from booting the computer to grub to login [03:59] trying to connect from my mac to my ubuntu box at work, i get stuck at "expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP" [04:00] mdel_ run ssh -v [04:00] that enables verbose mode [04:00] the NTFS partitions arent being mounted - mount doesnt see them [04:00] Compiling: thats how i saw the error... [04:00] well, not the error [04:00] compiling thanks for your help [04:00] mdel_ what version of openssh [04:00] but where its getting stuck [04:00] Hi all! Is there a util that detects duplicate files? [04:00] any time [04:00] Thalone: i'm still confused, are you mounting using command or using Places-> menu? [04:01] on the mac, 5.2p1 [04:01] i tried using mount from commandline [04:01] Compiling: whatever the latest is in 10.04 at work [04:01] (server) [04:01] Compiling: Ok, that works now how do I get it to stay on reboot?

What's the most simple, direct way to do this? All I want to do is move files between the two. [04:02] Places-> menu doesnt show the partitions, only the one linux partition and cd drive [04:02] Compiling: any other ideas [04:02] Compiling: Ok, thanks for all the help [04:02] mdel_ ubuntu uses 5.4.x or 5.5 i believe [04:02] try updating [04:02] minderaser, assign each an ip address, eg 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 [04:02] Thalone: so after mounting, "mount" shows the mount but you cant access? [04:02] also check /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow [04:02] Compiling: here's the thing - it worked yesterday [04:03] Compiling: ive connected to the box a million times from this machine [04:03] just all of a sudden, im hanging at expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP [04:03] well what changed between today and yesterday? [04:03] did you run updates on either machine? [04:04] thune3: no i cant mount the 2 NTFS partitions at all... they are in /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (i know because i see them using "fdisk -l" but I cannot mount them using mount [04:05] Compiling: i updated ubuntu, but there weren't any updates to anything ssh/net related [04:05] Maletor: I thought msmtp was a drop-in replacement for sendmail i.e. you should pretend you're still using sendmail. What does ls -l /usr/bin/sendmail point to? [04:05] also, i only get this sporadically [04:05] thune3: i got them to show up! apparently in lucid it doesnt automatically install ntfs-3g after setup [04:05] i can connect, use it for 5 minutes, then it lags out [04:05] i try to reconnect, i get that message' [04:05] mdel_ can you pastebin the output of ifconfig | grep -i mtu [04:06] this is over VPN, the VPN mtu is 1444 [04:06] mdel_: 'lags out'? What exactly does that mean?

[04:07] Compiling: i saw that thread [04:07] sounds like u have hardware issues [04:07] mdel_: can't hurt to try Compiling's suggestion... [04:07] anyone help with a kvm question? [04:07] if you saw it or not is irrelevant if you didnt act upon it [04:07] its not really a thread [04:07] http://www.snailbook.com/faq/mtu-mismatch.auto.html [04:07] Compiling: well how can i set the mtu on the office machine... [04:08] you said its more or less sporadic [04:08] wait till it works again [04:08] do you have an IP KVM? [04:08] Thalone: that's weird, ntfs-3g is part of package ubuntu-standard which i thought you would have had installed. Glad you got it. [04:08] Loshki: /usr/sbin/sendmail points to exim4 [04:08] mdel_: could be network constipation I suppose, but you'd expect that not to fail consistently at SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP... [04:08] What is the best option for a live distro that already includes all the non-free stuff to play music, videos, commerical DVDs, flash player, etc? [04:09] Maletor: so you're running exim4 as well as msmtp? [04:09] Loshki: i agree [04:09] Compiling: sorry IP? i'm using kvm to host multiple vms on a server... have a question about file server setup concepts [04:09] Loshki: I'm following this guide. http://klenwell.com/is/UbuntuCommandLineGmail [04:09] Loshki: And it's not working [04:09] thune3: i thought so too, curiously it wasnt though... thanks for the help though =) [04:09] Compiling: you're thinking about display/keyboard kvms my guess [04:10] not libvirt et al [04:10] i was directing that at mdel, sorry mogga [04:10] np [04:10] Compiling: IP KVM??? [04:10] sneakers: try superOS [04:10] though you were talking to Mogga [04:10] its more or less ubuntu with all the goodies [04:11] mdel_ they are more or less standard when you manage servers in the corporate world [04:11] its like a kvm [04:11] but u can use it over the internet [04:11] Compiling, Linkie?

[04:14] Compiling, Yea but can it play .wmv does it have browser flash, etc? [04:14] Loshki: well I can send an email with msmtp [04:14] Loshki: it's just my workstation, there is no load [04:14] * DarkStar1 bids everyone a goodnight/morning [04:14] sneakers, mint should have all that [04:14] Loshki: but this is about getting it to work with mailx [04:14] VLC will handle most of whats thrown at it [04:14] if not apt-get install mplayer [04:15] Uh, my refurbished 1TB hard drive that seagate just sent out went into read only mode and I see this in the syslog: kernel: [177056.427393] EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): ext3_find_entry: reading directory #41042621 offset 0 - any thoughts? [04:15] foo run a fsck [04:16] Maletor: mailx is just a front end, it should work with any sendmail compatible backend, including exim4 and/or msmtp/ssmtp or even sendmail. Is there anything interesting in the mail logs /var/log/mail.* [04:17] Compiling: any idea what that means? I can do that, this is just a brand new refurb I got... and I wiped the old drive. [04:17] mdel_: I can't explain it. Can you ssh into your workstation while it's bogged down and see what's going on that way? [04:17] i cant get in at all now [04:17] sounds like a simple offset error [04:17] Loshki: I looked there. Just a bunch of spamd stuff. Also, I set the log for smstp to /tmp/msmtp.log and nothing shows up there [04:17] http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sysadmin.recovery/msg/ac0377d78f8f3fe9?hl=en&pli=1 [04:18] mdel_: When you're at work, can you e.g. ssh from work to home, then vpn back in, so you can see what the workstation is doing? [04:18] i guess i could [04:19] but i had some important shit to do tonight that I didn't commit to the repo [04:19] so i kinda need to figure something out now [04:19] mdel_: for all you know, someone is running a huge torrent at work, after hours, and clogging the net... [04:19] nah thats not it [04:19] there's 3 of us [04:19] ssh uses little to nothing [04:19] torrents shouldnt cause that [04:20] Compiling: I'm kinda clutching at straws trying to explain the lag phenomenon... [04:20] Bah! I am trying to get write permission on a hfs+ partition. I disabled journaling but I still get read only..... [04:20] Loshki: the lag isn't the bad part, its the fact that I can't connect [04:20] mdel_ how long does the error take to pop up [04:20] if its instant it probably isnt la [04:20] lag [04:20] there isn't an error, it just gets stuck [04:20] the machine is actively refusing it [04:20] when you try to connect back in? [04:21] mdel_: do you know if it's just your workstation? Can you reach anyone else's desktop? [04:21] the lag occurred when i COULD conect [04:21] you dont get an error... [04:21] Compiling: nope [04:21] expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP [04:21] that the last line in the outout [04:21] Compiling: how many connections? [04:21] output === emma_ is now known as emma [04:21] you could clog the NAT table [04:21] Loshki: no same problem [04:21] QUESTION: WHERE ARE THE DRIVER FILES LOCATED IN UBUNTU 6.10?

[04:26] Loshki: it's as if msmtp is being run without the parameters that mailx is setting [04:26] ubottu: tell cilly about edgy [04:26] cilly, please see my private message === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:27] Maletor: doesn't mailx have a -v (verbose) switch. Try it and see if there's anything obvious. Maybe pastebin the output? [04:28] Loshki: yes it does but it doesn't log anything [04:28] Loshki: this person solved it [04:29] Loshki: but i can't figure what he means http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780509&page=2 [04:30] I realize that. But I found an old powermac G3 on the side of the road. It has a rage128 video card. The new releases of ubuntu dont have the driver for this card [04:30] that is why I am using 6.10 [04:30] cilly: Uh, you could always download the sources from nvidia. [04:31] it is an ATI card. [04:31] Loshki: ok ya that solved it. i just needed a different package of mailx. god that was confusing [04:31] and 10.04 does not have and xorg.conf to change the settings [04:31] Maletor: it's pretty appalling that there are two versions of mailx in different packages, and one works and the other doesn't... [04:31] cilly: you can use the "ati" drivers, no desktop effects tho [04:32] Maletor: that explains why I've never had a problem with ssmtp.... [04:32] hi, is there a way to install adobe acrobat reader by means of apt-get on lucid? [04:32] im lookin for a GUI for lm-sensors, i found ksensors but when i run it i only get a blank square im guessing kde is kubuntu desktop environment? anyhow what do i need i have ubuntu 10.04 runnin default everything w compiz and metacity [04:33] gnome-sensors?? [04:33] anyone here running ubuntu with a newer docsis 3 motorola surfboard? im experiencing bad network lag but other computers on the modem fly (win7) [04:33] does anyone know how to get write permission on a hfs+ partition in linux? I went into OSX and disabled journaling on the partition in question as I had read in forum posts that this would allow me to write but upon booting into linux and mounting the drive I found this to be untrue. I have also tried chown which won't work. and using mount with -t hfsplus -o rw didn't work either... :*( [04:33] hello? [04:33] Vin73: I'd suggest against using Adobe Acrobat Reader unless you *really* need it. [04:33] ty MaRk-I . i searched lm-sensors, but gnome sensors didnt show, lemme search that one [04:33] Hey there. I can't get DAAP sharing to work between my Rhythmbox and my roommate's, who is on the same LAN and also using Ubuntu. How do I make this work? [04:33] evince is superior, and should work fine for most applications. [04:34] However, if you are *SURE* that you want to use Acrobat, here are the directions: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/23/install-adobe-acrobat-reader-812-on-ubuntu-804/ [04:34] !sensors | Zelozelos [04:34] Zelozelos: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [04:34] bonthemilkman: thanks... [04:34] Vin73: if you want it, it is in the partner repo, acroread package [04:34] !partner | Vin73 [04:34] Vin73: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [04:35] Zelozelos: gnome sensor applet [04:35] So if I can find the file with the old ati rage128 driver from 6.10 could I copy it into a newer version? [04:35] jeez MaRk-I i already said i had lm-sensors, does it have a graphical interface? [04:35] trism, ubottu: thanks... [04:35] Zelozelos: if you read the page ... you can see "sensors-applet" [04:35] Zelozelos, use conky or another gui frontend to query the info [04:35] Zelozelos: there are several of them described on the page MaRk-I linked to. [04:35] If an intruction file tells you to type --buildpkg [/] [04:35] how would i type the distro and package [04:36] hrm, well, two. I thought there were more :\ [04:36] ahhh ok, ty guys [04:36] I dont see any drivers in X11 [04:36] I can't get DAAP sharing to work between my Rhythmbox and my roommate's, who is on the same LAN and also using Ubuntu. How do I make this work? [04:37] Loshki: how can I set it up so that I can read my gmail via command line? [04:38] I need to redirect the TCP traffic directed to 127.0.0.1:5432 to 192.168.1.113:5432. Any one knows how to do that? [04:39] anybody??? [04:41] Vin73: I use Evince and have never had any problems viewing pdf files. [04:41] Maletor: Not many people want to do that, but I found this on google: http://lifehacker.com/275404/access-gmail-from-the-command-line [04:41] can someone help me [04:42] oh well. I give up for tonite. I'm going to bed [04:42] ubottu: I tried the command that you mentioned....but I don't see the repository getting added...and subsequently sudo apt-get acroread fails with invalid operation... [04:42] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:43] cilly: try 8.10 it will detect it [04:43] Any iptables guru on redirecting? [04:43] realubot: I prefer using acrorread since I am more familiar with the same... [04:44] Vin73: you have to install acroread from the website, unless you have ubuntu tweak [04:44] alright, thanks. I will do more work tomorrow. good night [04:45] Vin73: and it's "sudo apt-get install acroread" you missed install [04:45] MaRk-I: what is ubuntu tweak? [04:45] MaRk-I: ok, let me try again... [04:45] Vin73: you don't need ubuntu tweak, you just need to sudo apt-get update; after adding the repo [04:45] Vin73: then you can sudo apt-get install acroread; [04:46] the sensor applet is perfect ty again guys [04:47] Zelozelos: yw [04:47] hi,guys === charlie is now known as Guest19395 [04:49] Question: I have a lot of media files spread over several hard drives. These files are being seeded to different trackers. Would it be practical to set the HDDs as a raid array so that I can point my torrent client to a single directory for all these files? and would you advise using a software raid as opposed to real raid? [04:50] ok a q about the CPU freq Scaling Monitor applet, it it actually changing the mhz my processor is runnin at? or limiting it what is it doing exactly? [04:50] Can somebody help me?? [04:50] MaRk-I: I tried sudo apt-get install acroread....but the result is "couldn't find package acroread" [04:51] Vin73: you need to update the package list after adding a repo: sudo apt-get update; [04:51] john38 u should simple restate the issue every once in a while, if no body answered they dont know or havent read the issue yet [04:51] sudo apt-cache search "stringhere" [04:51] john38, btw, what IS the issue again? [04:51] If an intruction file tells you to type --buildpkg [/] [04:52] trism: which repostiory should I be adding inorder to have acroread? [04:52] how do i type distro and package [04:52] Vin73: partner [04:52] joihn38 ill give it a shot, what instructions exactly? [04:52] Zelozelos: the cpu freq scaler does not do FSB, and be careful of your pc fan doesnt turn off while doing some of your lm-sensor stuff [04:52] dude007: you don't need to sudo to use apt-cache [04:52] trism: can you please help me with the command to add this repository? [04:52] no im just trying to install Ati driver\ [04:53] Vin73: you're on 10.04 right? [04:53] and i need to add --buildpkg [/] [04:53] how do i type distro and package [04:53] trism: yes...that is correct [04:53] Vin73: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" [04:53] fodder70, i hope it dosent disable it, i only got the sensors because sometimes i forget to turn on my coolpad so i set a warning at 180degrees [04:53] trism: thanks... [04:54] Vin73: justo go to system>preferences>software origins then in the 'ohter software' tab search and mark thr partner repository, you will be asked to update [04:54] after that you open the software center and install adobe reader [04:54] fodder70, my lappie always overheats w/o the coolpad :( [04:54] hello??

[04:56] iptables gurus, please put your hands up! [04:56] does anyone know if there is a clock widget or something i could put on my desktop? (im running gnome) [04:56] fodder70, is that another applet i need to install or just add to the panel? [04:57] its a preference in the applet [04:57] any ideas Zelozelos [04:57] Thalone: not sure but I think you have to install "desklets" [04:57] if you are suffereing heat issues, "fancontrol" is a fan configurator [04:58] i need to pull my heat-sink or whatever its called n clean it [04:59] MaRk-I: Nothing came up for "desklets" when i used apt-get [04:59] sorry john38 i didnt see what instructions you r trying to follow lemme scroll up [04:59] ahh the ati driver, can u link to me the page you're reading? [04:59] Thalone: try gdesklets [05:00] actully its the readme file [05:00] xangua: found it thanks [05:01] anyone here experienced with ups (battery backup)? [05:01] trism: when I go to software sources and select the updates, there is no way to start downloading them (no start download button or similar)...when I click on close after selection, nothing happens [05:01] Does this room also support Linux Mint [05:02] john38 ul's never work for me pm me and paste it or goto pastall.org n paste it ure choice [05:02] !mintsupport | Uberpwn [05:02] Uberpwn: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:02] Vin73: so you checked the partner repository line on the other software tab, then closed the software sources but it didn't prompt you to update? === Uberpwn is now known as bash19 [05:03] trism: no, it didn't [05:03] i have an 1100VA Belkin UPS that has served me well for almost five years now. I recently had a need for a second UPS and I bought a 1000VA APC UPS. If I perform the self test with my new APC UPS (or simply cut power) my computer shuts off immediately. The UPS only shows a load of about 20%, 269 Watts to be specific. The UPS is rated for 600W / 1000VA. Any ideas why my box shuts off? [05:03] Vin73: you can always manually: sudo apt-get update; although perhaps you already have it now, try: sudo apt-get install acroread; [05:03] any way to resize "root.disk"? [05:04] trism: I tried sudo apt-get install acroread...it did not succeed [05:04] im pulling my hair out trying to flash my bios using unetbootin and freedos anyone have any experience with it? [05:04] Vin73: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread [05:04] try that [05:04] Vin73: then try: sudo apt-get update; then try installing again, if that doesn't work, you'll need to pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [05:05] trism: ok, let me try.. [05:05] Flomaster: no exp. with that [05:05] upgrdman - Have you played with the S2 S3 power settings in the bios on the box that shuts down? [05:05] Flomaster: it's not a dell pc is it? === bash19 is now known as bladez256 [05:06] hellrabbit, no i will look into that. thanks. what s2 s3 mean? [05:06] Hey guys, I'm irritated by the default Ubuntu extraction utility. I have to go through like 5 clicks after I download a file to unzip it. Is there some way to make Ubuntu "auto-extract" all downloaded files in /Downloads, or perhaps an alternate manager with a more simple UI? I don't like/need the clutter/extra clicks. Thanks! [05:06] MaRk-I: no its an zotac Ionitx-G-E motherboard [05:07] avi_: you should be able to right click a group of files and click "Extract here..." [05:07] Flomaster: oic I flashed one dell, there's some how-to's with flashrom but.... quite dangerous heh [05:08] john38, stop pasting [05:08] trism: Right you are, but I'm talking about downloads from, say, Firefox. If I have it open after download, I have like 5 clicks to go through before I get it extracted, plus, I have to specify the directory to output to each time. [05:09] any way to resize "root.disk"? [05:09] Honestly I am not sure as to the spesifics on S2 and S3, I'm not around any production class machines right now... typically on Dell servers and HP those options tend to be the second to last tab in bios. I think it has to do with the type of backup power supply your using. [05:09] john38, try ati-packager.sh --buildpkg im thinking [05:09] avi_: you can set FF to d/l all your stuff to a specific folder [05:09] or just certain files avi_ [05:10] mmm i think that is only with an addon [05:10] Any idea why gDesklets wont launch? I go to Applications -> Accessories -> gDesklets and the loading cursor comes up and then goes away after awhile and nothing is there :X [05:10] trism: I think apt-get update did it...thanks for help [05:10] avi_: "Extract Here" (near the bottom) extracts to the current directory and doesn't ask you anything [05:10] Vin73: excellent, so it's installed now? [05:10] Zelozelos the section starting from 4 is where im at [05:10] trism: installing :) [05:10] yeah just --buildpkg wont work [05:10] Mark_I: Yes, it does. Into /Downloads/. But why can't it auto-extract after downloading, without my permission? I know its possible on OS X. [05:10] i need to add distro and package [05:11] avi_: security reasons?? [05:11] MaRk-I: thanks [05:11] i have a .pem file and a .p12 file from my payment gateway. anyone know which one i should install and where i can find instructions? i'm on 8.04 [05:11] Trism: Yes. I love that functionality. I suppose what I'm looking for is it to auto-extract without my permission. [05:11] Vin73: yw [05:12] Mark-I: Why yes, of course. But I'm not worried about that. So is there any way to do it, anyhow? [05:12] hi guys, how do I install google chrome? I tried with apt-get install chromium but it seems to be a game -.- [05:12] Should I use the deb packages? [05:12] lolzor: sudo apt-get install chromium [05:12] avi_: there might be, I dont know it tho [05:13] xangua that seems to be a game, why? I can't open it either [05:13] lolzor: if you use other language install chromium-browser-l10n [05:13] Mark-I: Ah, well thanks for the help anyhow. [05:13] can someone help me install ubuntu form windows? [05:13] lolzor: ooh sorry, the package name is chromium-browser [05:13] !ask [05:13] 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. :-) [05:13] xangua I'm doing apt-get update, but it doesn-t find the package either. [05:14] lolzor: and if you use other language besides english install chromium-browser-l10n [05:14] try "apt-cache search chroium" [05:14] xangua I think I need to add a new repository link, do you know which is the one that maintains the browser package? [05:14] its-me-again do you need help installing ubuntu? [05:14] lolzor: mmmm what version of ubuntu do you use¿¿ [05:14] pretty old one [05:14] Scripting question :) Looking for a keyword I can google for; when you write a script for a program that pipes information to a new file and you have your script automatically name that file based on time, date, or numerically? [05:14] How do i set a default theme for the GDM screen? [05:14] lolzor: chromium browser is in lucid's defaul repository [05:14] default cursor theme* [05:14] KnifeySpooney i like your name [05:14] good evening [05:15] vag: have you played KnifeySpooney before? :) [05:15] xangua thannks, I'll try to find the repositories [05:15] THIS ... is a knife [05:15] [shows spoon] [05:15] that's not a knife, that's a spoon [05:15] ITSa341: hello [05:15] I see you've played knifey spooney before ... [05:15] lolzor: lucid is the latest version of ubuntu :S what version are you using¿¿ [05:15] haha [05:15] brb rebooting [05:15] hellrabbit: it's done using the date +format command to generate a file name... [05:16] Thank you Loshki [05:16] xangua I'm using jaunty [05:17] xangua do you have the repos links? in order to add them in the source.list? [05:17] KnifeySpooney: cursor theme or GDM theme? [05:17] lolzor: i do not, it's in lucid's default repository [05:17] Any advice on using a Marvell Topdog a,b,g,n on Lucid 64 bit [05:17] MaRk-I, cursor theme of GDM, but I think i found it now [05:18] xangua yes but what's the lucid new repositorie in order to add it to my source.list [05:18] ubunutu newb here. I have an old version of me tv installed but cannot figure out how to upgrade to the newest [05:18] KnifeySpooney: ok [05:18] MaRk-I, nevermind that wasn't it, do you have any tips? the information in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme is correct but not being used [05:18] is there anyway to manipulate files that have root permissions? [05:18] lolzor: you can not use repositories of one version into another [05:19] KnifeySpooney: no idea, gdm theme is one thing , cursors are another [05:19] MaRk-I, well I have the custom theme installed as default for all users, but when logging out it gets reset to DMZ-White [05:20] Quick question: Can I use aptitude on a cli ubuntu install to install packages from a cd? The box has no internet connection. [05:20] gdm theme is in System/administration/login window, and cursor are in system/preferences/appearance/customize button/ cursors [05:20] stewart_: have you looked for a me tv PPA in launchpad¿¿ === listo_ is now known as usuario-master [05:21] I am relatively new to linux and have no clue how to add a PPA [05:22] http://pastebin.com/MeWC0ip8 - hm, guess that looks already. /me researches output [05:22] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily [05:22] Quick question: Can I use aptitude on a cli ubuntu install to install packages from a cd? The box has no internet connection. [05:22] chromium? [05:22] what is that? [05:22] okay i'm back [05:22] upgrdman: are you using apcupds, and can you look at /var/log/apcupsd.events to see what event triggered the shutdown? [05:22] after a long day's work [05:22] its a web browser === xtcx is now known as thomashx === thomashx is now known as thomashc [05:24] sorry not sure if the command given was for me? [05:24] yeah, sorry [05:25] I'm being lazy, I just google'd " how to add a PPA ubuntu" [05:25] jjast73: not really good idea use the daily build [05:26] jjast73: this looks better https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable ppa:chromium-daily/stable [05:28] xangua: I found https://launchpad.net/~me-tv-development/+archive/ppa but have no clue. I think I need to buy a book lol [05:28] stewart_: like jjast73 said: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" [05:28] thune3, it wasnt a shutdown. the pc turns off, as if it lost power. i could turn it back on, and it would work off of the battery power from the ups [05:29] thune3, and i do not have any ups software installed except for gnome's monitor [05:29] There should be a way to use a lucid repositorie in order to install crhome in jaunty [05:29] hey how can i use a linksys wireless usb card to connect to the internet on ubuntu i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972060 but im not mutch of a computer person could someone explain it to me? :P [05:30] stewart_: in this case seeing the ppa you found it would be: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:me-tv-development/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [05:30] In order to use chrome I'll have to download the chrome package in the lucid repos?, then use apt-get install locally? The orig.tar.tz [05:31] lolzor: or just add the stable ppa https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable [05:31] xangua: THANKS! [05:33] upgrdman: oh. i assumed you had some hookup to tell the os to shutdown when the ups battery got low. If the only connection from the UPS is the power to the computer, then is sound like there is enough of a power interruption (or low enough voltage) that your computer turns off. [05:34] hey how can i use a linksys wireless usb card to connect to the internet on ubuntu i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972060 but im not mutch of a computer person could someone explain it to me? :P [05:35] i was hoping someone could help. i'm actually using mint, but i'm having problems with my wireless network card. i have a broadcom 4312. i have been through many tutorials on how to fix it, and am still not there. if you have the time, i'd truly appreciate a step by step [05:35] lolzor: have you simply tried installing from www.google.com/chrome ? [05:35] is there any that when i copy text to keep it on the clip board even if i closed the program i copied it from, as in, if i copied a few words out of a web page and then closed the browser to still be able to paste them somewhere? [05:36] I need to be able to view / edit ALL id3 tags in an mp3 file, including nonstandard tags used by iTunes like "Album Artist". What program should I use? [05:36] what is the command for creating files? [05:36] racerd: touch [05:36] Fraxtil: audio tagtool can do it [05:36] racerd: can you be more specific? do you just need a blank file? [05:36] racerd: touch [05:36] Zelozelos: you can install either "klipper" (although is a kde app still works) or glipper for gnome [05:37] yes a blank file i can edit [05:37] ahh ok i tried to search for one, but didnt know what strings to pull on ;) [05:37] Zelozelos: use a clip board manager like parcellite or if you preffer the indicators use pastie (need to add a PPA) [05:37] from command line [05:37] racerd: from a command shell type: touch [05:37] MaRk-I Zelozelosglipper sucks :S [05:37] xangua, why?

[05:39] dont PM me without asking me first thanks [05:39] maco: unless I'm not seeing something, audio tag tool doesn't show nonstandard tags- just the usual ones, same as easytag for the most part. [05:40] /etc/udev/rules.d/ [05:40] Fraxtil: there should be a button to view all tags... [05:40] sebsebseb: again DONT PM me without asking first, thanks [05:40] Zelozelos: well i remember i tried it and after some minutes purged it inmediatly [05:40] mmm a long time ago [05:40] Fraxtil: like it shows the default ones and then theres a button underneath that says the number of nonstandard ones [05:40] racerd were u prompted for a password when you used sudo? [05:40] nah [05:40] was using it earlier [05:41] maco: I see the "Advanced >" button, but none of my files seem to have any id3v2 tags at all. Maybe I'm missing a library? [05:41] sebsebseb: you know the rules about PMing [05:41] so terminal didn't prompt me again [05:41] racerd: ok how about "touch /tmp/testing" [05:41] xangua, mm ok, what ws the one u suggested and how would i go about gettin it? [05:41] Fraxtil: posssibly it just uses id3v1 in iTunes? hrmph [05:41] racerd: then run "sudo touch /tmp/testing2" [05:41] Zelozelos: sudo apt-get install parcellite [05:41] racerd: then check the permissions [05:41] then i ran [05:41] sudo gedit 99-android.rules [05:42] Zelozelos: there is also pastie if you like more the 'indicators' [05:42] xangua, kk ill remember that i already installed glipper lemme check it out [05:42] maco: I edited all the tags in EasyTag, so they should be using id3v2.4 - it's just that easytag didn't remove the "album artist" field, which messes up my track order in iTunes. [05:42] racerd: yup you can run gedit, vim, pico "filename" [05:42] i just need to create a rules file in a folder that had root permissions [05:42] yeah [05:42] i know :) [05:42] i used to use slackware [05:42] Fraxtil: i wonder if the album artist one is v1 though... i have removed nonstandard tags using audio tagtool's advanced button [05:42] racerd, root owns all files. [05:43] racerd: so how could you not create a file in /etc as root using sudo? [05:43] sudo is a root command [05:43] ubuntu removed "root" [05:44] so it allowed me to make a root command in a root only permissions folder [05:44] maco: I see an option to remove all tags, which I guess would do the trick, but I don't want to have to rebuild the tags I want all over again. [05:44] racerd: sudo is "super user do" it's not root. 2nd. the root account in ubuntu is still there. [05:44] Fraxtil: can you right click the unwanted one maybe? [05:44] it still works [05:44] wouldn't in the ui [05:44] racerd: the ui is different. [05:45] maco: Was just looking at some back log, and I noticed how he recommend 8.10 to someone earlier, so told him it wasn't supported anymore. Altough yeah I suppouse I can still reply to something from an hour or so ago in the channel, really. [05:45] I want to edit a video in kino so I can upload to youtube, which video standard would give me the best resolution to use on a youtube video, NTSC or PAL? [05:45] i know [05:45] racerd: ubuntu really doesn't want ppl using the root account from a shell [05:45] maco: I can't see any id3v2 tags (in simple or advanced mode), and the id3v1 tab shows all my wanted tags, but doesn't have an "advanced" option with which I can view the nonstandard tags. [05:45] racerd: new users is more like it. [05:46] well i am trying to get fastboot to work [05:46] Fraxtil: oh :-/ mmm maybe kid3 ? [05:47] sebsebseb: you could've asked first, and he was using 6.10 on an OLD pc, it was a suggestion he could try [05:47] Can anyone help me with fixing my sound on my laptop? It plays but at such extremely low levels It's barely audible. With everything maxed. Any ideas? [05:49] MaRk-I: Sure, but about as good as using 6.10 really, since 8.10 isn't supported anymore either. That was my point. Altough I didn't get to say that in pm, but now I have in here. [05:49] sebsebseb: point taken [05:50] i'm trying to use eclipse, but it just crashes every time I start to edit some code. is anyone running eclipse successfully on lucid? [05:51] hmm i dont see the glipper applet, how do i use glipper? [05:51] yes!! [05:51] got it to work :) [05:51] fastboot commands and adb commands work in the terminal directly [05:51] Zelozelos: try launching 'glipper' [05:51] Zelozelos: right click task bar and "add to panel" select glipper [05:52] maco: finally getting somewhere with a bash script I found on the net; combining the output from this with a binary called "id3v2" should solve my problem. [05:52] Fraxtil: alright. good luck [05:52] jjast73 | thanks for pointing me in the right direction [05:52] xangua i tried glipper from a terminal, no command found, MaRk-I i trid that too, its not there [05:53] you might have to restart your desktop [05:53] should be there [05:53] kk ill try tat === thoffmeyer is now known as thoffmeyer|AFK [05:55] jum restar¿ :S this is not windows [05:56] How do I set a parameter to a static kernel module? [05:56] nope still no glipper, movin on to another one ;) [05:56] xangua: restarting a desktop is not the same as restarting the system/pc [05:57] Zelozelos: "Clipboard Manager" [05:59] Zelozelos: there's klipper and someone suggested parcellite which I have no exp. with [05:59] i just got parcellite, seems pretty cool i think thats just what the dr ordered ty guys for the suggestions/helping [06:01] YUP, thats exactly what i wanted 8-) [06:01] i have an encrypted LVM and i need to reinstall ubunto on the system root volume [06:01] any idea on how i can do this? the alternate installer isnt playing nice [06:03] fme: the process could take a very long time to resolve. is the data on that lvm backed up?

[06:15] gooood morning!!!! [06:15] i JUST need the sysroot partiion reinstalled, leaving my home alone [06:15] fme: use the "alternate" (not desktop or server) installer, it can do that. [06:16] anyone here know how to setup a webserver frontend to a file server? [06:16] SwedeMike i have tried [06:16] no luck [06:16] it just wants to make new partitions [06:16] and the resuce a broken system will not continue without selecitng a system root partition, and mine is currently corrupt [06:16] can't config xscreensaver due to: xscreensaver-demo: 01:14:43: Gtk-warning: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated [06:17] fme: delete everything but /home and do a new install and let it create partitions? [06:17] does anyone know how to find package configuration files that have changed? [06:17] insomniac1, did u try using the package manager to upgrade them? [06:17] that is, they are not the same as installed by the package? [06:17] search by date? [06:17] SwedeMike its an encrytped lvm, it will overwrite all my stuffs i think [06:17] Zelozelos: yes, same problem in aptitude [06:17] and synaptic [06:18] want to restore the original settings? [06:18] ImaLamer: was that directed at me? [06:18] insomniac1, yes sorry :) [06:18] insomniac1, I had the same issue long ago... I fixed it removing that file and doing an update... [06:18] fme: so all the lv:s are in a single pv in a partition? [06:18] ImaLamer: yes, i'd like to restore to defaults [06:19] SwedeMike yea === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [06:19] hey guys [06:19] insomniac1, a backup also should be a good idea :) [06:19] just a thought :9 i tink the configs are in /boot [06:19] insomniac1, then apt-get purge i believe - then you can install again with defaults [06:19] fme: then your best bet is to install a system on another drive, put in your old drive, open the encrypted pv/lv and copy all the data you still want to keep. [06:19] ' [06:20] SwedeMike yea i think i could do that [06:20] im trying to figure out a reverse ssh tunnel for local facebook development - is there a way i can debug it? [06:20] yo [06:20] SwedeMike: fme: can't that be done from the live cd? [06:20] i can only boot the alternate disc [06:21] hellosir: try ssh -nNT -R 1100:local.mydomain.com:1100 remote.mydomain.com [06:21] How do I make all audio files open in Rhythm Box instead of Movie PLayer? [06:21] i should be able to reformate the corrupt sysroot partiion, then jus tmount and copy everything from an install on another drive though [06:21] Loshki: the live cd doesn't have lvm afaik [06:21] jjast73: thats exactly what i did, and i also added GatewayPorts yes server-side [06:21] or cryptsetup [06:22] it doesnt work right now so i was wondering if there was a way to debug it [06:22] fme: that too [06:22] SwedeMike how would i reformat just the sysroot volume? [06:22] hi, how to install libxml2 development package on lucid? [06:22] http://pastebin.com/qCXzm235 <-- output from package manager after i purged then reinstalled [06:23] I have already installed libxml2... [06:23] SwedeMike: then I'd boot a 3rd party rescue cd, e.g. systemrescuecd http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [06:23] fme: I don't know at what level I should answer that question. [06:23] there must be another package that's borked [06:23] hellosir: try running the sshd server in debug mode and run the client in debug [06:24] hello... [06:24] SwedeMike well i can mount my home volume, but the sysroot one is toast. surely there is an lvm command that will reformat it? or do i reformat it before making it active in lvm? [06:24] i know a little about this lvm and luks madness, but not a whole lot [06:24] any reason why transferring files from ubuntu to windows 7 gives me at most 10kb/s ? [06:24] airtonix: are you on wireless? [06:24] fme: lvm doesn't do filesystem, it does block devices. [06:24] jjast73, ethernet [06:25] Sam_Fisher, i think all u have to do is play them from rythembox, just direct rythmbox to their locations w the import folder option [06:27] fme: what kind of toast? Corrupted files? corrupted fileSYSTEM? lvm layer issues, what? [06:27] fme: Can you access CTRL+ALT+F3 in alternative mode? [06:27] corrupt filesystem [06:27] jjast73: thanks, ill give it a try [06:27] red2kic i havent tried, what is that suppsoed to do? [06:27] !tty | fme [06:27] fme: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [06:28] fme: corrupt filesystem as evidenced by what? fsck? [06:28] fme: cryptsetup luksOpen, then you'll be able to find the lv, you can mkfs it then to format the lv. [06:28] nite all [06:28] fme: If you can access in, I suppose you could luksOpen and then proceed with the alternative installer. [06:29] hrm [06:29] ok [06:29] lemme try this with the alternate installer [06:29] i can mount my harddisk from my computer [06:29] SwedeMike: "lvm and luks madness". I couldn't have put it better myself... [06:29] sorry i cant mount\ [06:30] hello how do I install nurses development package on lucid? [06:30] ubuntu_, what's the problem, any error messages? [06:30] yes [06:30] ubuntu_, which [06:31] SuNK8http://pastebin.org/387132 [06:31] hello? [06:31] SuNk8, iam using ubuntu with out install now [06:31] Loshki: I don't agree, I think it's perfectly logical. I've moved a working system from unencrypted multipartition to encrypted lvm, but I kind of cheated and left / unencrypted and only encrypted /usr and /var and /home put those on lvm [06:32] ubuntu_, u mean u r in Live Session? [06:32] SuNk8,because before i restart used recovery some thing like these i think that was probloum [06:32] SuNk8,yes [06:32] ok [06:32] hello, does anyone know how to get ncurses development package on lucid? [06:32] Loshki: encrypting / is a bit harder though, because there are so much things that need to work properly to have an initrd/busybox that has all the information and drivers to properly mount /, so I didn't bother with that. [06:32] i got /dev/mapper/logic/sysroot formated with ext4fs [06:33] well mkfs.ext4 [06:33] ubuntu_, how does that partision show up in GParted or Disk Utility? is the filesystem recognised? [06:33] how can i tell the alternate installer to install there? [06:33] SuNk8, when i switch the computer before grub coming it say (file error) [06:33] SuNk8, GPARTED say unlocated [06:33] SwedeMike: we should probably move to -offtopic, but I see too many people come here with encrypted partitions they can no longer decrypt, or lvms they can no longer access. Combining the two just multiplies the complexity... [06:33] ubuntu_, are you getting the grub prompt like 'grub>' or are you getting Error 17? [06:34] SuNk8, no i get just this error [06:34] ubuntu_, the partition is messed up, r u dualbooting windows by any chance? [06:35] SuNk8,no [06:35] red2kic I can unlock with cryptsetup but how do i tell the alt installer to use that decrypted lvm? [06:36] fme: Point it to the correct path in partitions? [06:36] Loshki: yes, I agree, it's a lot harder to rescue such a system, especially if you add raid1 of the system drive in there as well. Security and flexibility is complex. [06:36] it only wants to make new partitions [06:36] fme: Don't make a new partition? Don't delete it? I would suggest you to make a backup first. [06:37] Try running a sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, do u see ur partition thr? [06:37] ubuntu_, Try running a sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, do u see ur partition thr? [06:38] SuNk8,http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9ZpGdAGQ [06:38] fme: you know, if this data is so important, you should just go out and buy a 1TB disk and copy the whole thing. Disks have never been cheaper... [06:38] im also having problem :(( [06:38] Akuma_s :P [06:38] ia no? xD [06:38] same problem* [06:39] yea but i also just moved halfway across the country, not exactly rolling in money [06:39] fme: I'm downloading alternative iso for my own experiences. [06:39] ubuntu_, the partition table's really messed up. I had a similar problem once. Have u tried testdisk before? [06:39] Ya ChangeL [06:40] :D [06:40] ubuntu_, In 99% cases, your data is still there. [06:40] SuNk8,yess i think that was probloum [06:40] fme: I sympathize, but it's pretty much your only solid protection against making some horrendous mistake while using the installer... [06:40] SuNk8, what should i do? [06:40] i know =[ [06:40] What is the file in /etc (presumably) that dictates the locale of a system? [06:41] ubuntu_, go to http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step and try to recover the partition table using 'deeper search'. It worked for me. [06:41] ubuntu_, be sure to back up important data first... [06:42] SuNk8, i dont know how using this application [06:42] ok [06:42] i opened another shell and unlocked the lvm [06:42] its showing up now [06:42] im going to use the alt installer to reinstall like normal [06:42] It's quite simple... That link is a step by step tutorial... [06:42] ubuntu_, It's quite simple... That link is a step by step tutorial... [06:43] fme: Now you can install it? [06:43] just messed up my /etc/network/interfaces file and i'm an idiot... how can i startup without network to adjust it? [06:43] SuNk8, i afraid to lose them which are still i have [06:44] ubuntu_, that risk does exist... but thr's another thing... [06:44] Mogga, clear what you want to do [06:44] ubuntu_, do u need the whole partition? or some data from it? [06:44] ubuntu_, u can recover some data from that partition without messing anything up... [06:45] abhi_nav: i tried to setup bonding using http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9517694&postcount=17 and now it's frozen on startup [06:45] fme: ok, if it's anything like a regular install, there'll be an option 'manual partitioning' where you get to select which filesystems to use... [06:45] Loshki yea that's what im doing [06:45] abhi_nav, मेरा भारत महान!!! [06:46] SuNk8, yes. I know. I copied my leaving msg? Its my copyright :P give me royslty. :P :D :) [06:47] SuNk8, **you copied** [06:47] ubuntu_, when u use testdisk, use p to list files and copy them to another portion on the harddisk, at least u'll get some data back... [06:47] Mogga: how about: boot the live cd and then mount and edit /etc/network/interfaces ? [06:47] thanks for the help, i think i can reinstall without overwriting everything [06:47] what is going on when you are in a directory and you run a program in assembly that changes the directory to nothing but your still in the directory and can list everything in the directory and the program terminates with an exit and ends up back in the directory you started with?

[06:49] SuNk8, i need to recover my application not data [06:49] Mogga: maybe a single user boot? If you can get a shell, you can edit the interface file... [06:49] fme: best of luck... [06:49] thanks =] [06:50] fme: Just curious. Alternative have apt-get, aptitude, etc? [06:50] fme: (In the terminal).

[07:00] chanti: wireless networks: disconnected [07:00] aphi_nav, i use live cd not my root session [07:00] <[Screamo]> im just trying to free up space and want to uninstall some of the apps installed by default [07:00] !tab | ubuntu_ [07:00] ubuntu_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:00] ubottu, still you can use aptoncd.

[07:01] aphi_nav, how where they are? [07:01] !tab > ubuntu_ [07:01] ubuntu_, please see my private message [07:01] is there a chat on this server with a discussions of gaming in ubuntu? [07:01] Alazair I can't find that tool your talking about [07:01] ubuntu_, you install aptoncd from ubuntu software center [07:01] chanti: all connections are enabled [07:01] [Screamo]: I've always been disappointed by how little space you save by removing apps. Are you sure that's where all your space has gone? [07:02] aphi_nav, i did [07:02] hi [07:02] <[Screamo]> Think so [07:02] I am using ubuntu10, Dell inspiron is my system, sound coming from head phone only, but not working inbuilt speakers, anybody help please [07:02] ubuntu_, use proper nicks. you can write some initials of nick and then press tab and nick will automatically complete. its needed to highlight here. so many traffic [07:03] ubuntu_, you instaled aptoncd? [07:03] <[Screamo]> wth is byobu window manager and why is it installed >.> [07:03] Aphi_nav , yes [07:03] [Screamo]: if you're running lucid, I think there's a diskspace usage analyzer in one of the menus... [07:03] abhi_nav, yes [07:04] Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/RiJ1u5hj [07:04] ubuntu_, I was just telling you that aptoncd is one software. you sure you wanted to do this only? I mean backing up archieve? if not plaease repet what you want to do. [07:04] [Screamo]: You can greatly free up the space by purchasing more storages. It's efficient method. [07:04] <[Screamo]> red2kic, indeed it is, but i am jobless and have no money [07:04] jonc: open control panel, then type "sudo wvdial" , then give your password [07:05] abhi_nav, i want to back up my application [07:05] what is going on when you are in a directory and you run a program in assembly that changes the directory to nothing but your still in the directory and can list everything in the directory and the program terminates with an exit and ends up back in the directory you started with? [07:05] Alazair I found something that seems to be the tool you were talking about [07:05] abhi_nav, but my probloum is iam not in my root session i use live cd now [07:05] ubuntu_, it will not backup your application. it will back your application's setup files. so that you can install those application later on. is it ok? [07:05] Alazair its called KGB Achriver [07:06] Alazair *Archiver [07:06] rollman, I believe you can not change a directory with a subprocess [07:06] that would be it :P [07:06] [Screamo]: buyobu seems to be installed by default on lucid. No idea what it's for. Something to do with the "screen" program, which is kind of old technology... [07:06] hmmm i did [07:06] Alazair and they have an beta source that could be built on a linux system [07:07] chanti: "sudo: wvdial: command not found" [07:07] rollman, you mean you deleted files in a directory? [07:07] no their still there [07:07] ubuntu_, you first go thruou apton cd guide so you will understand what it does. if it is what you want then you do. [07:07] Alazair thanks for pointing it out, I'll give it a whirl [07:07] rollman, what was the purposes of the assy program? [07:08] dontput: that's nice, but it's not what I asked for :-). I wanted to see the output from 'sudo fdisk -l' [07:08] ShapeShifter i used that on windows to compress wow's mpq files from 10gigs to like 900 megs [07:08] abhi_nav, i dont want this to download all package again [07:08] took almost a week to do tho [07:08] <[Screamo]> lol [07:08] <[Screamo]> heh [07:08] ubottu, it will not download anything from internet. I insist that you read aptocn help guide first. [07:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:08] originally to execute a program but decided to try something different and used the system call to change directory [07:08] Alazair a week?? D= [07:08] ubuntu_, , it will not download anything from internet. I insist that you read aptocn help guide first. [07:08] <[Screamo]> after 5 hours of waiting for it to compress a 100mb file i gave up =/ [07:09] can I tell him to change his nick? I guess its his temporari nick [07:09] yea the mpq's are already compressed but 10gigs of already compressed into like 900megs is a feat :P [07:09] Loshki: look at your pm [07:09] it was on a old amd 2800 with like a gig of ram box :P [07:09] abhi_nav: press tab twice or ubu then tab :P [07:09] had low priority to lol [07:09] MaRk-I, :) [07:09] ShapeShifter499: xz has incredible compression, but it takes a long time as well. I would use it over a proprietary option. [07:09] Alazair I need to send this netbook out for repair ASAP, the web cam broke, and I need to backup like 25+ gigs of stuff [07:10] abhi_nav, i know that but i dont download all package again after i installed ubuntu [07:10] Loshki: but the filesystem is read only [07:10] why not just clone the drive? [07:10] and use clonezilla to a nas? [07:10] jonc: do one thing, " sudo apt-get install wvdial" in command prompt, then you have to give password [07:10] dontput: Again, that's not what I asked for. You sent 'df -h'. I asked for 'sudo fdisk -l' [07:10] ShapeShifter499: What type of data do you need to back up? [07:10] Alazair no space to put it D= [07:10] ubuntu_, no at the time of restoration it will not download 'all' packages' from net. it 'may' need to downoad 'some' package to download but majority will be in your hdd only. [07:10] you dont have a networked pc laying around? [07:10] :S [07:11] Jordan_U: things like music, documents, etc [07:11] ubuntu_, see as Alazair is suggestion clonezilaa is one option [07:11] my recommendation is this [07:11] !clonezilla | ubuntu_ [07:11] ShapeShifter499: Music won't compress to that extent since it's already compressed. [07:11] Mogga: run fsck -p on it, then you can remount it rw, mount -o remount,rw or something, check your man page.. [07:11] go to wallyworld or whatever go grab an 80gig usb drive and use clonezilla to image the drive so you dont have to completely start from scratch [07:11] chanti: E: Couldn't find package wvdial [07:11] 80gig usb external is like 40 bucks now tops [07:12] abhi_nav, i dont understood clonezilla [07:12] Alazair, can you please explain him what is clonezilla? [07:12] alazair its better if I start from scratch [07:13] well your best route is to still get a external hd [07:13] uhh Clonezilla is a drive imaging program [07:13] alazair :/ [07:13] Alazair, i mean to ubuntu_ ? [07:13] Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mqYwwZQi [07:13] rollman: still there? [07:13] ubuntu_ Clonezilla is a imaging software its like taking a picture of your hd and you can go back to in the future if something happens [07:14] jonc: did you enter in root user or not [07:14] someone please execute that clonezila factoid. I dont know exact [07:14] loshki yeah [07:15] Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the [07:15] clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting! [07:15] can i do from ny ububtu 10.04 xubuntu 10.04 without reistalation, and how? [07:15] hello, can someone tell me which is the default audio driver that comes with lucid, alsa or oss? [07:15] Alazair, that solves a problem for my at work. Where can i find more info about this? [07:15] GonardFreeman, what? do you want to install xubuntu on ubuntu? if not please clear [07:16] clonezilla.org [07:16] <[Screamo]> Vin73, i think is alsa [07:16] Vin73: ubuntu uses alsa. it's whats in the kernel [07:16] Alazair, thank you [07:16] GonardFreeman: you mean have xfce desktop? [07:16] np [07:16] Vin73: oss is not part of the upstream kernel [07:16] maco: is there a command that lists the driver? [07:16] jonc : you have to enter into root user. commands are "su" ,then you have to give root password [07:16] i cant find clonezilla package [07:16] Vin73: lsmod | grep snd <-- will list the modules [07:16] abhi_nav, i've had xubuntu, and then i've update it, and now i have ubuntu( i prefer xubuntu) [07:17] Vin73: pulseaudio with alsa [07:17] maco: thanks [07:17] ubuntu_, see this http://clonezilla.org/ [07:17] GonardFreeman, so now you have both xubuntu and ubuntu. ok. so what you want to do with them now? [07:17] MaRk-I, Screamo: thanks [07:17] dontput: you have no /dev/sda1. But you *do* have /dev/hda1. You can't fsck it though, because it's the system partition, so it's in use... [07:18] MaRk-I, no, before update i've xubuntu, but hten i've update it and nave it says that i have ubuntu) [07:18] dontput: please don't pm or DCC chat me... [07:18] chanti: "su: authentication failure" - i'm sure i'm entering the correct password [07:18] abhi_nav, i dont have both [07:18] Loshki: Ok ok.. so what would i do next? [07:18] thanks every onee [07:18] abhi_nav, i've had xubuntu, and then i've update it, and now i have ubuntu( i prefer xubuntu) [07:18] abhi_nav, there is only ubuntu [07:18] dontput: remind me, what problem were you trying to solve? [07:18] GonardFreeman, ok so whats the issue now? [07:19] GonardFreeman: if you did an "online" upgrade you should still have xubuntu, if you upgraded from an ubuntu cd instead of xubuntu you could install the xubuntu desktop [07:19] abhi_nav, how i can update ubuntu xubuntu(if i can say that?) [07:19] rollman: were you using chdir() in your program? [07:19] Loshki: to fix and not using livedisk nymore? [07:19] GonardFreeman, first see what MaRk-I is saying. please clear us what is your situation [07:19] maco: when I run the command, I see that oss is the built-in driver...as part of the command output I see snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm_oss et al. [07:19] MaRk-I, oh, thx, i've made online update [07:20] can anyone recommend a good task management system for ubuntu? I tried tasque, but it seems to crash often. [07:20] Vin73: those are emulators for oss [07:20] Vin73: for old programs that dont speak alsa [07:20] GonardFreeman: then you should have xubuntu , unless you unstalled "ubuntu-desktop" [07:20] anyone pro with dual monitors with an ati card in ubuntu10.04 [07:20] no i used movl $12, %eax [07:20] maco: what is the command output that would inform me that alsa is available? [07:20] maco: I don't see any output text that says alsa [07:20] dontput: are you running from the live cd right now? [07:21] jonc: no. you enter your user password, but you have to give root password [07:21] that's system call to chdir [07:21] MaRk-I, i have new qustion. at start i write gnome panel to open task bar, is there some "xubuntu-panel"? [07:21] Vin73: i have patches in the alsa that's in ubuntu's kernel... [07:21] something is weird; on my lan.. after a while the ubuntu will set itself up as the 'router' or something. With ubuntu plugged into the router, everything stops functioning after a period of time, as soon as I unplug ubuntu, the network is back to normal. Has anyone heard of this? [07:22] Vin73: snd_* modules are from the alsa-kernel tree [07:22] Loshki: yes [07:22] GonardFreeman: no idea, but you can try, dont you have graphical login? [07:22] maco: ok...so if you see snd_* output, it should inform you that alsa is present, am I correct? [07:23] chanti: ok, figured that part out-i didnt have a password set. [07:23] MaRk-I, nope( long time ago i've exit from system and it disapears) [07:23] Vin73: believe so [07:23] jonc: no way, you must give root password at the time of OS installation [07:24] Vin73: cat /proc/asound/version [07:24] Vin73: thatll tell you the alsa version [07:24] dontput: from the live cd, it's ok to run: sudo fsck -p /dev/hda1 [07:24] abhi_nav, do u now is there some "xubuntu-panel", like gnome-panel? [07:25] chanti: apparently it had only set the user password. i had to run "sudo passwd" and set root password. *shrug* [07:25] jonc: No prob [07:25] GonardFreeman, better to ask in #xubuntu. I dont know much about xfce. never used it. [07:25] hey i have a weird problem i cant unmount my 750gig data drive im trying to repartition it to ext4 [07:25] maco: ok thanks a lot, the reason I asked was I need to install zoiper softphone on my system...and the softphone comes in both oss and alsa variants...so I will go ahead and install the alsa variant...thanks again [07:25] rollman: chdir() runs in a child process created by the shell. The parent process (the shell) is unaffected by the chdir that happens in its child. Does that make sense? [07:26] fstab has it auto mount but it wont let me unmount it even with gksu [07:26] chanti: i tried wvdial again but under root - still the same [07:26] * GonardFreeman cat /dev/ass > /dev/head))) [07:26] i can still list everything in directory but it's all white and program still runs and i can run it again and it takes dir further out and each time i run the program i have to exit each time for every run [07:26] i recovered some files by testdisk but i dont know where they gone? [07:26] Alazair, what message u get [07:26] jonc: oh....., let me see [07:26] i think i figured out why lol [07:26] hey, how do I copy a file from a system that I have to access like #ssh asd@server1 #ssh asd@server2? [07:26] had vlc running on the big screen with a movie playing in the other room [07:26] Vin73: np [07:26] it's weird program [07:26] Morten_, using scp [07:26] Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/B72w0dng [07:27] indus, but how do I get to server two using scp? [07:27] that is my problem [07:27] rollman, whatis purpose of program? [07:27] GonardFreeman: I agree you should try #xubuntu I'm not familiar either, but gdm gives you a choice of what desktop environment you want to use if you have more than 1 installed [07:28] Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/B72w0dng [07:28] MaRk-I, what is this GDM?) [07:28] it was originally used to try run an example program but ELF wasn't found so i switched it to system call chdir [07:28] Morten_, for example to copy to the remote system scp -p #portnumber filename yourname@Remote host : directory name [07:28] dontput: that's very bad. Try: sudo fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda1 [07:28] um... sorry if this is a stupid question, but i got disconnected from an ssh session when i had stopped the ssh daemon - is there a way to get back in? [07:28] Morten_, just follow this one http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php [07:29] GonardFreeman: the initial login window, graphical desktop login manager [07:29] rollman, so your program just does a chdir from assembly? [07:29] yes [07:29] !scp [07:29] Then the answer about child process is correct. [07:29] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [07:29] GonardFreeman: Gnome Display Manager [07:29] !clonezilla [07:30] indus, thanks alot :) [07:30] !Clonezilla [07:30] hello, how can I use a .deb file? [07:30] hmm [07:30] oh thx [07:30] Hello people [07:30] !list [07:30] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [07:30] Question [07:30] is there someone interesting, there xfce4-panel command, to run it) [07:30] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/uP2MRrdP [07:30] i can exit it like it still is running weird [07:30] what can I use for ipod and itunes [07:30] Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/uP2MRrdP [07:30] instead of windows software ? [07:30] rollman: well basically I'm telling you that you can't use chdir to change your current directory because it doesn't work how you think... [07:31] hm, isnt rhytmbox compatibile with ipod? [07:31] dunno [07:31] ? [07:31] is it ? [07:31] i wish someone told my computer that lol [07:31] is there someone that has an ipod [07:31] ? [07:31] Loshki: thanks for the help [07:31] Well i'm pretty sure that "songbird" is alternative [07:32] hello, would appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do with a .deb file... [07:32] songbird ? [07:32] dontput: very bad I'm afraid. How did it get this way? [07:32] Mogga: did you solve your problem? [07:32] ah, not anymore [07:32] hhmmm... I'll look into that ..thanks [07:32] songbird was available on linux ;< [07:32] curious why is a freshly formated ext4 drive 11.16gigs used? [07:32] Loshki: when i tried to let my computer up the whole night and when i woke up it freezed and i restarted it. [07:32] Alazair, is this disk 'brand new'? [07:32] Loshki: got the network up and running again after fixing a typo but the bond is definitely not happy... lots of malloc errors on startup [07:33] Use s.m.a.r.t. to find out wtf [07:33] not the drive but the format yes [07:33] Loshki: and there theres "init= bootarg" something to it [07:33] 0 bad sectors [07:33] 0 s.m.a.r.t. errors [07:33] Odd. [07:33] Vin73, .deb is a installer for debian based distributions [07:33] Mogga: I bet the bonding code doesn't get exercised much... [07:34] aristo: thanks, can I just execute the file? [07:34] Vin73, you can double click on it [07:34] Vin73: try sudo gdebi foo.deb or sudo dpkg -i foo.deb [07:34] !deb | Vin73 [07:34] Vin73: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [07:34] #mantis [07:35] dontput: I'm worried that all your data may be lost. Was there anything important on that disk? [07:35] ubottu: thanks, btw, what is kubuntu? [07:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:35] Loshki: its like "Try passing init=bootarg" [07:35] nomad77, aristo: thanks... [07:35] Vin73, Ubuntu includes gnome [07:35] Loshki: oh noese? so im not gonna retreive it.. [07:35] Kubuntu includes KDE [07:35] xubuntu includes xfce [07:35] fluxbuntu includes fluxbox [07:35] and so on [07:35] !kde | Vin73 [07:35] Vin73: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [07:36] Vin73, np [07:36] that was 1 program that like u said shouldn't have worked but somehow it did and one program i wished i didn't accidentally erased the source file for [07:36] i have a dumb question... if i dl the ubuntu iso from the site is it the current kernel and fully updated or is it the same iso that was released on release day? [07:36] same iso [07:36] karma_police: at the moment, the same iso [07:37] karma_police, same as that of on release date [07:37] karma_police: on 29 july, 10.04.1 comes out, and that'll have all the updates up to that point included on the disc [07:37] jonc: did you on the wifi button in you system [07:37] Loshki: ok so what ima going to do? [07:37] dontput: I don't think init=bootarg will help, but it's ok to try it. You can also try running testdisk [07:37] !testdisk [07:38] do some of you here use more than just ubuntu ? [07:38] chanti: yep [07:38] jagosix: i use red hat at work [07:38] chanti: however the LED does not change to indicate "on" [07:38] maco, you didn't mean 10.04, right? [07:38] is there a daily build site to dl from? or a checkpoint date to wait on? the reason i am asking i use pendrive linux with persistence.. whenever i run an update that involes a ner kernal image it renders the flash drive useless and i have to start all over.. i'm a bit of a noob so i may be doing something wrong. [07:39] jagosix, at work rhel and debian, at home ubuntu, debian, jolicloud and sometimes fedora [07:39] jagosix: used to use suse, solaris, aix, and debian at old job [07:39] jonc: after installation, did you upgrade the system [07:39] holocene: LTS have point releases every 6mo, starting 3mo after initial releases [07:39] I use PCLinuxOS 2010.1, Ubuntu 10.04 PPC/PC, Mint 9, [07:39] Loshki: after testdisk? [07:39] !offtopic [07:39] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:39] holocene: those include the updates to that point. thisll be the first after 10.04's release, so 10.04.1 [07:39] jagosix: are you looking to compare distros? [07:39] dontput: testdisk is a file recovery program: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [07:39] cool [07:40] nah.. [07:40] maco, ok now I understand. thnaks. [07:40] i use pendrive ubuntu to troubleshoot windoze pc's [07:40] I've already done that [07:40] chanti: no, i just finished installing 10.04. i have not done anything other than attempt to get the the laptop online [07:40] jagosix, maco, mind taking the discussion about distro's to #ubuntu-offtopic? === [Screamo] is now known as [Screamo]offline [07:40] s3r3n1t7: i think it ended [07:40] It's just that some distros install differently on some laptops [07:40] dumb question - is there a way to get into a remote server to restart sshd? [07:41] jagosix: youll have to test out ubuntu's livecd to see its hardware support [07:41] hellosir, i'm afraid that, unless you have setup another means of remote access, there is no such way. [07:41] jagosix: ubuntu's all ive run on hardware in recent years [07:41] The main problem I have with ubuntu is the video setup and configuration. [07:41] maco, it appears it hasn't. [07:41] s3r3n1t7: except now it's about ubuntu [07:41] s3r3n1t7: crap. thanks [07:41] jagosix, i'm guessing you're using ati, right? [07:42] s3r3n1t7: so it's ontopic [07:42] jonc: ok fine. connect network wire. then type" sudo apt-get update" , then you to give password [07:42] ya [07:42] well, ati does not give a crap about linux users [07:42] hellosir: probably not. Unless some idiot turned telnet on (unlikely)... === rez is now known as Guest22713 [07:42] ati on my main computer and Nvidia on my worstation [07:42] oops workstation [07:42] jagosix, which ati model? [07:42] chanti: doesnt appear that adapter is working either. [07:42] hold a min [07:43] jagosix, linux drivers are the only reason why i choose nvidia [07:43] jonc: after update " sudo apt-get upgrade" command you have to type. It takes some time, depends on you net speed [07:43] Gforce 61XX series [07:43] jagosix, no i mean the ATI [07:43] Loshki: anyways if ill not want to save my data's, what ima going to do now? [07:44] my bad ..This is the one I have trouble with ubuntu on [07:44] aristo, do you have an ATI card ? [07:44] chanti: i got a bunch of failed to fetch messages and "could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com" messages [07:44] Loshki: unmount cdrom? and im done? [07:44] the gforce 61xx series [07:44] indus, had [07:44] jonc: that means network continuously failure there [07:44] aristo, well have you heard of ATI open source drivers? [07:45] indus, yes, tried and didn't like it [07:45] indus, video tearing drives me mad [07:45] aristo, have you seen its performance today ? or of the new catalyst 10.6 driver [07:45] jonc: Type this command immediately "sudo apt-get update" [07:46] indus, recently no [07:46] jonc: then type "apt_get dist-upgrade" [07:46] aristo, for those who prefer an open driver, ATI Is miles ahead of anyone [07:46] dontput: if you don't mind about the data, just reinstall from the livecd. When it asks, tell it to ignore any existing distros. Choose ext3 as filesystem type, and this time, make /home on a separate partition so if you have to reinstall again, you can keep your data... [07:46] jagosix, did you try official nvidia drivers? [07:46] indus, nouveau drivers are good [07:46] aristo, and with the new 10.6 catalyst, the difference from older one is significant [07:46] This is a simple query , though I am unable to find the solution online. If I want to run a C++ program I do ./helloworld from the current directory. How would I do it from lets say home/ ? [07:46] yep..sure did. === [Screamo]offline is now known as [Screamo] [07:47] aristo, they aint as good as the ati ones yet but they will be\ [07:47] cggaurav, what do you mean? [07:47] I'll try it again later [07:47] jonc: drivers are not installed into your sys. that is the main problem. you have to upgrade your system [07:47] cd to your home [07:47] indus, have to check catalyst 10.6 [07:47] and enter full path to program [07:47] maybe if i buy a nice 5850 [07:47] aristo, yes its actually awesome relatively speaking [07:47] like: /home/myprogs/helloworld [07:47] Voldenet : Lets say the program sits in home/a/b/c/helloworld.cpp [07:47] aristo, they fixed the maximise minimise bug [07:48] cggaurav: the './' is just a path that simply means 'in the current dir'. if you are elsewhere, you can type the path to the file. [07:48] Voldenet: How would I see the output without cd from home instead of c [07:48] ? [07:48] gcc /home/a/b/c/helloworld.cpp -o /home/a/b/c/helloworld [07:48] chanti: hahah - how ironic. gotta get online to upgrade so that i can get online. =D [07:48] then cd ~ [07:48] aristo, some minor issues with compiz but i had that issue with nvidia also , dont like compiz :) [07:48] /home/a/b/c/helloworld [07:48] jonc: you aren't the first.... :-( [07:48] indus: What issues exactly? [07:49] Voldenet: gives me no output. [07:49] jonc: are you using wireless? [07:49] indus, what about video tearing and wined3d? [07:49] Voldenet: though from c it does. [07:49] Well, put your sources on pastebin [07:49] mark-i: im trying to get either wired or wireless working [07:49] jonc: oic, wired not working or is internet problems? [07:49] aristo, ah no wine is still bad with ATI but i dont think that will be fixed, wine is anyway not a priority [07:50] soreau, issues with ? [07:50] indus, no wine, no ati [07:50] mark-i: both wired and wireless are not working. fresh 10.04 install on HP dv6000 laptop. [07:50] jonc: odd [07:51] aristo, use windows for gaming, wine is anyway unsupported, i had nvidia before and that aint great either [07:51] aristo, some minor issues with compiz but i had that issue with nvidia also , dont like compiz :) <-- whatever minor issues you're referring to here [07:51] soreau, yes, some black color boxes sometimes in menus [07:51] indus, why if i can play with wine, i have a steam account with 15 game [07:51] s [07:51] soreau, with ATI though [07:51] kde4 I use its features over compiz. [07:52] indus: Can you provide a screenshot? [07:52] soreau, actually, one thing i notice is, window border tear for dark themes [07:52] soreau, iam at work now, so [07:52] soreau, are you a dev for compiz ? [07:53] indus: You could say that ;) [07:54] soreau, ok,are you aware of the window border gap when using alt tab etc? [07:54] I am using ubuntu10, Dell inspiron is my system, sound coming from head phone only, but not working inbuilt speakers, anybody help please [07:54] soreau, i can see a light passing through it :) [07:55] soreau, otherwise no other big issues with it , and with ATI fixing their drivers, after many years i finally start using compiz === palam_ is now known as palam [07:55] indus: No, I'm not particularly familiar with that.. I thought you said black 'color boxes in menus' which is what I was hoping for a screenshot of [07:55] soreau, ah thats a bit rare but even when i get that, on pressing prtscn it goes off [07:56] jonc: right now is the laptop connected wired or trying wireless? [07:56] indus: Right.. so you want your decorations to adhere to the windows when wobbling? [07:56] soreau, for example, on ubuntuforums website, when i keep mouse over the thread, it provides summary in a box, but i had it all grey box [07:56] mark-I: the laptop is connected wired [07:56] soreau, ah yes yes exactly but no decorations, just plain window border [07:56] indus: window decorations *are* the window border in compiz [07:57] soreau, oh heh ok [07:57] soreau, i think it happens with lighter themes also but its not that visible [07:57] jonc: can you ping a website or your router? [07:57] soreau, but you have email ? i can send you screenshot if possible for those window boxes in firefox sometimes happens [07:58] mark-i: "network is unreachable" [07:58] mark-i: it appears the NIC drivers are not installed [07:58] ! paste | indus [07:58] indus: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:58] soreau, or ..... if iam online later (much later ) i can give you [07:58] indus: No need for email, see what ubottu has to say ;) [07:58] soreau, its on home syhstem [07:58] indus: Use picpaste.com [07:58] jonc: did you have this problems with the livecd? [07:58] soreau, iam at work now [07:59] soreau, ok ill find you somewhere here and ping you [07:59] soreau, what about the window border thing? is there some setting for it? [07:59] indus: Setting to do what exactly? [07:59] soreau, so no light passes through :) [07:59] if i want to add a new user that is used for 'auto login without password' how would i do this ? [08:00] Loshki: anyways, thank you so much loshki. im runnin TestDisk.. damn this one kick-ass software. [08:00] soreau, it loosk like a tear , llooks bad [08:00] mark-i: regretfully, i didnt try the demo with livecd. [08:00] soreau, with atl tab cover effect [08:00] indus: AFAIK, it's the way the driver handles things [08:00] how can i find the uif of a drive? [08:00] please tell me the product id and vendor of this usb modem: Bus 005 Device 007: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem [08:00] jonc: oic, hmm odd hope you can get it to work [08:00] so i can add a drive to fstab [08:00] soreau,ok its driver issue hm [08:00] Loshki: im currently copying my data.. and btw, any times for my next step? [08:00] indus: But I'd need to see a screenshot to know what you're talking about for sure [08:01] mark-i: i'll keep playing with it. thanks you very much for your help! [08:01] jonc: paste the output of: sudo ifconfig [08:01] I am using ubuntu10, Dell inspiron is my system, sound coming from head phone only, but not working inbuilt speakers, anybody help please [08:01] arunkumar413, device id are always two four digit numbers separated by a colon [08:01] indus: You can pm me with a screenshot, but here in this channel might get lost if I'm away for some time [08:01] airtonix: then vendor? [08:01] arunkumar413, actually two hexidecimal numbers speraated by colon [08:02] soreau, ok so 2 things i mentioned, window border gap between border and main window, and 2. some times (rare ) black boxes in ff or menus probably [08:02] arunkumar413, vendorid : deviceid [08:02] how can i find the uif of a drive? [08:02] so i can add a drive to fstab [08:02] Alazair, read the ubuntu wiki page about fstab... its also uuid not uif. [08:02] soreau, hey i need one help ? how to do anti aliasing wiht compiz, my borders are all jagged and ugly [08:03] Hi, guys. :) I downloaded some Chinese text files, it came in .rar files and i unrared them, but when it open the files, the contents are just unreadable, any solutions? Thanks in advance! [08:03] indus: 1) Known issue, likely driver bug 2) You would have to find a way to reliably reproduce the bug, then submit a bug report [08:03] jonc: ugh never mind, if no internet how you're goint to paste xD [08:03] mark-i: i was just thinking that. hahah [08:03] indus: There is no FSAA with the open radeon drivers yet AFAIK [08:04] soreau, no no i use ATI proprietary driver [08:04] jonc: but there are NICs detected and have an IP ??? [08:04] with the ifconfig command I mean [08:04] Voldenet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/460993/ [08:04] indus: Then you would use amdcccle [08:04] mark-i: its showing loopback [08:04] Voldenet: Excuse me for the delay. [08:05] that's it? no eth0, eth1, wlan0? [08:05] soreau, oh, so i need to use it from that ? no control from compiz itself ? [08:05] indus: It should have all the AA settings you want. But, IMHO, the open radeon driver is better overall [08:05] mark-i: it shows both wired and wireless adpaters when i use lspci. but for ifconfig, nothing. [08:05] indus: No, AA is all in the driver [08:05] indus: Compiz has no control over the drivers capabiliies [08:05] capabilities* [08:05] soreau, it wont run games :) and even though i find the open source drivers till now great , 10.6 has changed my opinion [08:05] mark-i: also when i click on hardware drivers, nothing shows up - completely blank. [08:06] indus: What wont run games? [08:06] soreau, quake 4 wont run with open drivers [08:06] jonc: how did you install? [08:06] indus: In that case, you definitely need to ask in #radeon to get a better answer [08:06] mark-i: via CD [08:07] jonc: try using the livecd mode, if it works then it might be a bad install [08:07] soreau, i dont care about my drivers being open source :) but yes i asked in #radeon , just google for indus and radeon and it s first result from irc logs [08:07] indus: AFAIK, Q4 should run with open drivers, if not classic, then gallium [08:07] mark-i: ok, i'll give that a try [08:08] soreau, its not about the driver, its about bits in quake 4 whihc are proprietary and cannot be run by it , s3tc texture compression [08:08] Hi, I've just done an upgrade on my Xubuntu install (Acer Aspire One netbook). Was working perfectly before. Now CouchDB immediately starts using up all the memory on start, and I have to kill it. Is there any good reason to keep CouchDB on my machine ? [08:08] jonc: good luck [08:08] soreau, i burnt my fingers learning it :) [08:08] soreau, so the game reports , s3tc extentions not found === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [08:09] danjac: not familiar with xfce, should try the #xubuntu channel [08:09] I'm not sure the problem is Xfce though [08:09] It looks like a memory leak in CouchDB [08:09] hi everibody [08:09] indus: I can help you with that.. [08:09] #buntu-cn [08:10] soreau, you can ? :D wow [08:10] * MaRk-I afk... [08:10] indus: There is a lib for enabling this texture compression, sec [08:10] soreau, i read about an external library called [08:10] (while I find the link) [08:10] but will try that channel, thanks [08:10] soreau, i know but its not proper, i asked in #radeon [08:11] indus: Indeed, but have you tried it to see if it helps yet? [08:11] soreau, yes i compiled it installed it etc, but it didnt run , but i think that was probably my mistake , i didnt do it right probably [08:11] Voldenet: I figured it out.;) [08:12] soreau, ah no wait, i later installed a gui tool also :) damn easy [08:12] cggaurav, no problem ;P [08:12] soreau, but i just couldnt run q4 [08:12] indus: If you installed the lib correctly, you should see this in glxinfo output I believe *checks* [08:12] soreau, yes i did see it === palam_ is now known as palam [08:13] soreau, but q4 still wouldnt run [08:13] soreau, ther is actually a gui tool also to do it [08:13] I installed kubuntu-desktop, now I don't want it; is there a simple and safe way to remove all packages installed as dependencies from kubuntu-desktop? [08:14] soreau, yes package called DRICONF [08:14] !Info driconf [08:14] !info driconf [08:14] driconf (source: driconf): DRI configuration applet. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.1-2ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 95 kB, installed size 412 kB [08:15] indus: You shouldn't need to mess with driconf since the open driver is smart enough at guessing what you need already as defaults [08:15] soreau, well , smart i dont know, but back a few months ago when karmic was in alpha, i was stuck with ATI card adn no q4 so tried all things [08:16] soreau, because fglrx wont support new x server 1.7 yet [08:16] or xorg 1.7 whatever [08:16] indus: fglrx sucks [08:16] soreau, its good enough for me [08:16] indus: Which card sis you say you have? [08:16] did* [08:16] soreau, ATI 4850 [08:16] indus: Oh yes, driconf wont work with fglrx, you want amdcccle [08:16] soreau, for me open source driver sucks, it cant play nothing [08:17] just a long shot, anyone knows anything about ciso products? :P [08:17] zoddan: #cisco [08:17] soreau, they are smooth for regular use and compiz but slow gaming [08:17] ciso? [08:17] cisco :P [08:17] soreau, dont know if gaming is good today on them, but i hear it s not a priority [08:17] what products? [08:18] indus: Yes but it is getting better all the time. hopefully, r600g will be a lot better than what it is now [08:18] soreau, anyways, i think all graphics drivers suck on all platforms [08:18] Voldenet: well i got a cisco asa 5510 but i dont know what i can do with it :P [08:18] indus: By this time next year, I mean (for r600g) [08:18] how do I use llvmpipe? is it a driver that i can set in xorg.conf or do I just need to recompile mesa? [08:18] some one here is not a muslim??? === ben__ is now known as nbkr [08:18] zoddan: Voldenet ##hardware. this is ubuntu support [08:18] soreau, mine is r 700 isnt it ? [08:18] just kidding [08:18] indus: Yes, like I said all drivers have their strong points and weaknesses [08:19] soreau, i liked the older days when one driver was good enough for many things [08:19] indus: r600* works for r6xx AND r7xx cards [08:19] I'm not intrested in hardware. [08:19] /join ##software ? [08:19] indus: Yes well we're not in those times, we're in these times and we need people to help out to make the driver better for everyone [08:19] soreau, i will help if you need [08:19] location bar shows icons.i want the path to be shown [08:20] soreau, my probl;em who will solve :) [08:20] soreau, i want s3tc support [08:20] soreau, good one [08:20] soreau, so i use fglrx [08:20] indus: First thing I'd recommend is removing the fglrx driver so the open radeon driver can work [08:20] hi can anyone tell me how to install libwxgtk on lucid? [08:21] soreau, in #radeon they said, even if s3tc works, all textures will be broken [08:21] #llvm [08:21] soreau, i play only 2 games ,q4 on linux, and bad company 2 windows [08:21] !find wxgtk [08:21] Found: libwxgtk2.6-0, libwxgtk2.6-dbg, libwxgtk2.6-dev, libwxgtk2.8-0, libwxgtk2.8-dbg (and 5 others) [08:21] soreau, i set up a server too a few weeks back , come and play :) [08:22] indus: Well I give up. I would recommend giving the radeon drier another go by removing fglrx and installing a newer kernel (2.6.34 from ppa) and newer userspace components (from xorg-edgers ppa repo) [08:22] soreau, i will install maverick alpha soon, so open driver i will check there [08:22] hello.... [08:22] soreau, dont give up on things you believe strongly about :) [08:22] soreau, hehe [08:23] file browser location bar shows the icons instead of path [08:23] soreau, but are you saying, the newer driver will run my game ? [08:23] you seem persistent [08:23] soreau, iam happy with general performance of open driver even now [08:24] soreau, its much smoother i know [08:24] indus: I don't give up on things I believe strongly about. I *do* give up on people who do not want to be helped ;) [08:24] arunkumar413, hit ctrl+l for a list view [08:24] Vin73, sudo apt-get install libwxgt2.8-0 (for version 2.8 obviously) [08:25] hi [08:25] indus: No, I am not saying the open driver will run any game, I'm saying if you cannot run something with the radeon driver, file a bug report on fdo and present it in an inviting manner to the radeon devs and you likely will get good support [08:25] soreau, ok thanks for your suggestions, i will keep you in the loop [08:25] nbkr: thanks [08:26] hi guys can anyone help me about mkinitramfs? [08:26] indus: For example I just got finished getting the radeon devs to fix compiz focus blur for my lowly rv350 card ;) [08:26] hi, my ubuntu said i need to do a partial upgrade, after i did it and restarted, keyboard stopped working [08:26] hoare, Just ask your question. [08:26] not even ctrl-alt-f1 work [08:26] what is the address of paste bin [08:26] soreau, focus blur whats that one [08:26] how do I create user home folder after I add him ? [08:26] rambo3, automatically created [08:26] vaibhav, pastbin.org [08:27] AFAIK [08:27] i remember there was a dpkg-reconfigure console-something [08:27] rambo3, Just copy /etc/skel to whatever the homedir of the user is. [08:27] indus: It's a component in the Blur Windows plugin in ccsm. On r6-7xx, I don't expect it to work quite yet [08:28] soreau, i try using it, but not sure what it did, [08:28] nbkr, so: mkdir /home/newuser && cp -r /etc/skel /home/newuser ? [08:28] soreau, also whats bicubic filter ? [08:28] rambo3, That should do. Don't forget the "chmod" afterwards. [08:28] hi all [08:28] askhader: you here ? [08:28] * [08:28] * dragMargin : real [08:28] * flickDeceleration : real [08:28] * highlight : Component [08:28] * highlightItem : Item [08:28] vaibhav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:28] rambo3, and the chown/chgrp of course [08:28] * highlightMoveDuration : int [08:28] indus: It should render things like rotate cube and enhanced desktop zoom more clearly [08:29] soreau, ok [08:29] nbkr: I cloned my /lib/initramfs/init script as init2 and edited many things in it. however when i execute mkinitramfs -f init2 -o . command and I boot generated image in that folder, it still uses old init script.. [08:29] indus: Possibly at the expense of speed [08:29] soreau, i think your r 350 is nt supported by fglrx [08:29] hey,guys can somebody help me with making my remote in lucid? [08:29] soreau, how did you get the devs to fix it? [08:29] soreau, that blur thing [08:29] hoare, did you tell grub which image to use? [08:30] indus: You are correct. rv350 is not supported. All r1xx-r5xx is no longer supported by fglrx [08:30] elric: making what remote? [08:30] nbkr: nope. but it generates a initramfs file which is about 5mb. [08:30] indus: I got the devs to fix it by filing a bug and being there when they asked me to test patches against mesa [08:30] soreau, ah hmm [08:30] MaRK-I: ir remote control,the one u get with the laptos [08:31] elric: ah no idea sorry [08:31] soreau, ok [08:31] soreau, good for you [08:31] soreau,i file only ubuntu bugs but they are never fixed [08:31] soreau, or maybe they are more fit upstream [08:32] soreau, havent filed one for years though [08:32] !ot [08:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:32] indus: There are so many bugs filed in launchpad (the place where ubuntu bugs are filed) many of them get disregarded [08:32] soreau,i triaged a few, but its too much work :) [08:33] soreau, need more volunteers [08:33] indus, soreau please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:33] indus: If you have a definite bug that you know is a radeon driver bug, you can file a detailed report on fdo (which means bugs.freedesktop.org) and talk to the developers in #radeon and #dri-devel [08:34] bazhang: This is not OT. [08:34] hoare, This file has to go to /boot and you have to modify the grub config, so that the boot loader uses the new init script. [08:34] soreau, chatting about how many bugs you file certainly is [08:34] It has directly to do with the fact that the radeon drivers are being heavily developed and ubuntu ships releases, not live builds [08:35] bazhang: It's not chatting, sorry. This is support. [08:35] If you don't like it, kick me [08:35] anyone happened to have acer 533 netbook? how it perform with ubunt? [08:35] is anyone familiar with pendrivelinux? or ubuntu with persistence on a usb drive? [08:35] or the new 521 netbook [08:36] karma_police you want to burn ubuntu to usb pen drive? or what else? [08:36] nkbr: I want to use it on another computer without modifying mine. how can I do that + how can I specify my own init script? [08:36] nkbr: in wheich folder should I execute my init script [08:36] nbkr: sorry ^ look at previous msgs. [08:36] nbkr: does it matter in which folder I exec mkinitramfs? [08:36] gb persistence [08:37] i have burned ubuntu to agb flash drive with 2gb set aside for casper [08:37] 4gb* [08:38] hi [08:38] keep getting system error saying i have no space left [08:38] hoare, No, that doesn't matter. It's only important to put the resulting file in the appropriate folder i.e. /boot. Afterwards you have to reconfigure grub2 to use the new file. Have look here to see how grub2 can be configured. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [08:38] i run an ubuntu lucid under xen ad domU. the kernel boots and displays all messages. the initrd loads and displays messages as well. the last lines i see are Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... [08:38] Done. [08:39] using 2gb for persistence and 2 gb for install.. should i have used 3gb for install and 1 gb for perststence on a 4gb usb? [08:39] alle output after this is not shown in the xen console [08:39] karma_police, to burn ubuntu it need approximately <= 1gb space. [08:39] althought it seems to boot fine [08:39] sometimes i can see output from fsck [08:39] and i can see the init-output when shuting down [08:39] i don't know why i am having space probs then... i have it split in half.. 2gb for install and 2 gb for casper rw [08:40] seems that from when init is started all output is redirected somewhere [08:40] i ran the update tho.. maybe thats where my prob is [08:40] nbkr: does it matter in which folder I exec mkinitramfs? [08:40] [GNOME] I have an chocolate-brown login display image in Ubuntu 10.04. How can I determine its filename? [08:40] bullgard4: i'd snoop around in gdm's config files. [08:41] what is more important when creating a usb live? the persistence space or the other? [08:41] prince_jammys: I'll give it a try. -- Thank you.

[08:49] Can we add chrome/chromium to that list :D [08:49] franklin: chrome, opera, konqueror [08:49] franklin: One not listed by ubottu since it's relatively newly available for linux is google chrome / chromium. [08:49] chromium-browser is in the repos kim0 franklin [08:50] franklin: paste ones from the list above into google, and read reviews or see screenshots. or just install 'em and see. [08:50] ah, and chromium [08:50] how can i set up an network interface on ubuntu with kernel parameters (kernel autoconfiguration)? [08:50] tnx [08:50] bazhang, I meant add it to the bot [08:50] what do i need to have in my /etc/network/interfaces? [08:51] bazhang, would you recommend chrome , or chromium [08:51] kim0, suggest something as a factoid then [08:51] !factoid [08:51] indus, whichever works for you [08:51] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [08:52] kim0, ie !x is etc etc etc [08:52] sup all [08:52] How can I see if ATI is supporting my card in Ubuntu ?

[08:53] : yes [08:53] OuterSpace: #backtrack-linux [08:53] OuterSpace, bt4 support in #backtrack-linux [08:53] ahhh yes [08:53] does anyone know the difference bettween chrome and chromium [08:53] chrome is a browser , chromium is OS [08:53] grayhatgeek: nope [08:53] OuterSpace, /msg alis list *phlax* to see if they have a channel [08:53] grayhatgeek: No. [08:53] im new to irc sorry [08:53] grayhatgeek, the reverse [08:54] bazhang: Not that either. [08:54] http://www.chromium.org/ [08:54] http://www.google.com/chrome [08:54] http://www.chromium.org/ ==> OS [08:54] http://www.google.com/chrome ==> browser [08:54] bazhang: grayhatgeek: indus: chromium is the open source project behind the proprietary google chrome. [08:54] Jordan_U, there is certainly a Chrome OS [08:55] then no diff :D [08:55] they dont have linux [08:55] http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/HowtoidentifythemodelofanATIgraphicscard.aspx [08:55] bazhang: Yes, but the question was asking about the difference between chrome and chromium. [08:55] Jordan_U, so what would be the difference between the 2 browsers [08:55] anyone know tell me if the driver sis 671/771 is engaged the effects of kubuntu? [08:55] Jordan_U, other that nthe open source part [08:55] deusr, try #kubuntu [08:55] : try live CD first [08:56] indus: Practically, the only noticeable difference is lack of h.264 support in chromium. [08:56] Jordan_U, hmm [08:56] ok [08:56] indus: Which with webm is now much less important than it used to be. [08:56] ok [08:56] hearing a lot about webm [08:57] Chromium is the open source project. [08:57] Google Chrome is the brand version based on it. Google adds some things of their own. [08:57] However both use the same rendering and JavaScript engines, so developing sites for one is likely going to work for all of them. [08:57] However, extensions are kind of a different story, as those are still being added to and reworked slightly (I think) and stuff. [08:57] grayhatgeek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:57] OK [08:58] anybody here who can help me with lirc?

[09:19] bazhang: I'm afraid I can't do that: 1. I don't use gnome, 2. X is kinda broken at the moment :( [09:19] krey, using what then? [09:20] mikubuntu: just to see what's in there without editing: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [09:20] bazhang: I use compiz, but it dies with the nouveau drivers (which I'm using right now) [09:21] bazhang: isn't "system -->administration-->hardware drivers" jockey-gtk? [09:22] krey, iirc installing modaliases should help out here (in getting jockey to recognize more cards) [09:23] mikubuntu: check if you see a line similar to this: options snd-hda-intel model=auto OR options snd-hda-intel model=acer [09:23] bazhang: cheers, lemme try that [09:23] MaRk-I: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/461021/ [09:23] hello [09:23] !find modaliases [09:23] Found: bcmwl-modaliases, nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-96-modaliases, nvidia-180-modaliases, fglrx-modaliases (and 2 others) [09:24] anyone know mabe, how many place is needed for ubuntu repository mirror? [09:24] bazhang: which ones should I install, need I reboot? [09:24] krey, not sure about the first, reboot once driver is installed, yes [09:25] iksik, apt-mirror? [09:25] bazhang: ok, thanks, lemme try this [09:25] iksik: how much space, you mean? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors#Releases%20Statistics [09:25] rww, i need to make local mirror for all packages [09:25] iksik, what do you mean by places? is this hdd storage size? something other? [09:25] i've got about 8 desktops with ubuntu - there is no need to download everything 8 times, right? :-) [09:26] iksik, or just aptoncd [09:26] bazhang, right... storage [09:26] iksik, mirroring the repos for 8 computers seems excessive === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:26] mikubuntu: close the file [09:26] Good morning! [09:26] !aptoncd | iksik [09:26] iksik: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [09:27] bazhang, erm... i think ie. rsync is much simplier, then burning new CD with each package update ;-) [09:27] I am using 10.04 lucid so which package is mine ? Ubuntu/jaunty ? [09:27] MaRk-I: ok [09:28] Anarchy7, not sure what you mean by that [09:28] mikubuntu: now type: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [09:28] Anarchy7: Ubuntu 10.04 is codename "Lucid Lynx". The previous version is 9.04 is codename Jaunty Jackalope. [09:29] MaRk-I: k, its open [09:29] I typed sudo sh ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/lucid [09:29] so it will jaunty? [09:29] mikubuntu: at the end of the file add this: options snd-hda-intel model=acer [09:29] iksik, rsync is for data, not to synchronize installs [09:29] save it close and reboot.... hope that works :D [09:29] bazhang: ok so i've installed nvidia-current-modaliases, nvidia-185-modaliases, nvidia-180-modaliases, nvidia-96-modaliases and still nothing [09:29] bazhang: ^ and rebooted [09:30] krey, this is openbox? flux? never did catch what you were using outside of gnome [09:30] anyone know why i have a refresh line on my 1080p tv in nix but not in windoz? [09:30] MaRk-I: k, saved and closed [09:30] bazhang, erm, why should i need to synchronize installs? i just need to synchronize new packages ( with updates ) from ubuntu repo, and install them on lan from local repo - one download (sync) 8 installs [09:30] mikubuntu: try rebooting see if it works [09:30] pretty simple - i think [09:30] funkyweasel, how can I find the latest ati driver for 10.04 ? [09:31] bazhang: I use compiz [09:31] bazhang: but surely this has little to do with my windows manager [09:31] MaRk-I: ok, don't leave me! brb! thx! [09:31] bazhang: I'm doing most of this over ssh anyway [09:31] * MaRk-I leaving to africa... [09:31] I have this one but as I am using 10.04 I think it is old for me ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64 [09:31] Anarchy7: At the risk of sounding like a prick - google for "ubuntu lucid ati driver". You'll usually find a ubuntuforum.org thread that can help you out. [09:32] :) [09:32] ok [09:32] Anarchy7: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Install_Latest_Nvidia.2FATI_drivers right off the bat [09:34] Which is the most lightweight dock for Ubuntu? If possible, without using OpenGL? [09:34] but I have ati [09:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360952 [09:35] this guy says lucid doesnt support latest drivers :S [09:36] ati has always had problems with linux [09:36] Anarchy7: The OP is about 6 months old though. That's a long time in ubuntu :) [09:36] they just dont release the drivers often enough [09:36] krey, not sure about the 9600 but for the 9500 (my own) I am using nvidia current from hardware drivers [09:36] LoL cool [09:37] bazhang: I see, but why won't jockey see my card if lspci does, and I'm full of modaliases now? [09:37] are gforce graphics cards always compatible with ubuntu? [09:38] MaRk-I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IqvxA7xaUI&feature=PlayList&p=173A9874C6614692&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=21 sounds good to me now [09:38] Ah that's what I came for. [09:38] MaRk-I: :) [09:38] How do I move the notication bubble on lucid? [09:38] mikubuntu: what's that link? [09:38] song i'm *listening* to [09:38] I work off a laptop and use a secondary monitor as my main and would like notification bubbles to appear there as well or instead. [09:38] hey anyone know the odds of recoverying 6 files from when my drive was ntfs [09:38] thx [09:38] i just recently formatted it to ext4 [09:39] lol well hmm did it work? [09:39] are gforce graphics cards always compatible with ubuntu? [09:39] funkyweasel when I went to driver manager it said no proprietary drivers are in use ... [09:39] MaRk-I: oh, yeah, that's what i meant [09:39] bazhang: last time I enabled nvidia-current, terrible things happened, I couldn't even boot my way to the tty (black screen) [09:39] Anarchy7: Sounds like you need to go install em [09:39] mikubuntu: cool that'll be $50 [09:39] MaRk-I: i installed 1004 on my friend's desktop that her daughter gave her [09:40] mikubuntu: j/k for future reference keep this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [09:40] funkyweasel, yes and when I go to ati site I put in my gfx card but no download comes ... [09:40] krey, this is for a single card? I don't see any bugs for a single card but only for trying with dual cards (and that card) [09:40] Anarchy7: Try the repo drivers. Fire up Synaptic and search for ati, see what you find. [09:41] ok [09:41] krey: yep, single card. I really don't want to reinstall my system :( [09:41] hi, how can I adjust the screen brightness on my netbook (lucid for netbook)? [09:41] i have an acer aspire one netbook and ubuntu 10.04. I need to capture video with my webcam but cheese doesnt record video for me. any ideas what app i can download to capture video? [09:41] MaRk-I: but, apparently the kids jammed a headphone jack in the plug and it broke off in there .. thats in the jack in the front, but theres also jacks in the back, but can't get them to work because (i think) that the computer thinks the front jack is in use. you think? [09:41] nawk, usually with the fn keys [09:42] nawk: press FN+dimm/bright buttons? [09:42] bazhang, MaRk-I they're aren't working in Lucid [09:42] nawk, which netbook [09:42] mikubuntu: most likely yes, should get some needle nose pliers and see if you can get it out [09:42] Hi I am running 10.4 and want to get my my machine to boot up fast how do I do this? [09:42] funkyweasel, I have them installed xorg [09:42] nawk, check the power management settings. [09:43] samsung n120 [09:43] s3r3n1t7, I'll check it out [09:43] MaRk-I: too tiny, couldn't get anything in there .. i was wondering if there was a commandline to disable the front jacks possibly [09:44] mikubuntu: hmm no idea [09:44] MaRk-I: oh, well, thanks for helping me with my laptop [09:44] mikubuntu: at least u have sound now ;^) [09:44] yw [09:44] MaRk-I: yup haha [09:45] Anarchy7: Hang on, do you need these drivers? [09:45] ok, i go walk the dawg nite guys [09:45] Anarchy7: Or rather - can you can the resolution and refresh rate you need? [09:45] any ubuntu netbook users here? [09:45] gn [09:45] funkyweasel, my computer is fine with colors etc., but movies are freezing if I install the graph card it will be better I think [09:46] Anarchy7: Youtube, divx, or other movies? [09:46] bazhang, MaRk-I, s3r3n1t7: Usually, the shortkeys for adjusting the brightness are: fn + / [09:46] its not working in lucid for netbooks [09:47] nawk, odd; works fine here on my first gen eeepc [09:47] nawk, I know that is what you said. I have no netbook myself so I cannot check that. However, my laptop also has some funny quirks. I have to adjust my brightness level in the power management settings otherwise it will flip back in a matter of minutes [09:47] are gforce graphics cards always compatible with ubuntu?

Apparently the power management features don't detect your system as a netbook but as a desktop [09:49] nawk: oops nvm I misread [09:50] Hi everyone! [09:50] hi Tortex!

I dont see the "Advanced" in Administrator [10:01] can any tell me how 2 install oracle on unbuntu [10:01] s3r3n1t7, I believe that bug report will help me (or at least give me some insights) [10:02] nawk, The only thing is that you cannot try this now. It requires a reboot for the changes to take effect [10:03] s3r3n1t7, I'm on chatting on my desktop, while trying to install lucid(netbook edition) on my netbook :-) [10:03] planetearth: ask oracle support ? [10:03] moin [10:04] k [10:04] s3r3n1t7, how did you find that bug report? Generally, how do you find relevant bug reports? (just a simple google search??) [10:04] nawk, pretty much yes. [10:04] <[Screamo]> MaRk-I, arg, that doesnt gimme enough info, you know a command that list info about the mobo? [10:05] [Screamo]: sudo lshw -vv [10:05] [GNOME] I have an chocolate-brown login display image in Ubuntu 10.04. How can I determine its filename? The gdm package has too many config files. [10:05] [Screamo]: sudo lshw | less and sudo dmidecode | less [10:05] nawk, in fact, for this i did a google for "ubuntu brightness keys don't work", which led me to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks and when you scroll down to the N1xx machines there's a bug report link in there. [10:05] s3r3n1t7, thank you for contributing to the Ubuntu Community :-) [10:05] nawk, with pleasure. [10:08] s3r3n1t7: nawk there are lots of issues re. brightness adjusting. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [10:08] hello [10:08] hi petros [10:08] does anybody knows any channel with router or networks discussion? [10:09] ##networking [10:09] bazhang, ;) [10:10] petros, also ##dd-wrt [10:11] bazhang: Time to reinstall system, fuuuuck :( [10:11] what's the keyboard shortcut to open a run dialog? [10:12] chazz, alt f2 [10:12] ty [10:12] krey, please no cursing here [10:12] bazhang: sorry :( === karthik is now known as Guest90805 === Guest90805 is now known as karthee [10:23] Is there a way I can remove the build dependencies of a package I installed from source and now I removed? [10:23] hey guys, I've got an odd issue (running lucid on kubuntu, but I think the issue isn't K related), just now I had to reboot 5 times before I could get into X(org), plymouth came up, even did a disk check on one boot and then the progress bar stops and nothing happens. I can't Ctrl-alt-F1 etc. however ctrl-alt-del then starts the reboot process and plymouth starts moving again [10:23] It's been happening for quite some time now, but normally only 1 in 3 times, but just now literally 5 boots before X came up [10:24] JediMaster, that sounds rather tricky. Are you sure the disk isn't corrupt? [10:25] s3r3n1t7, yeah, the disk check was the first time it's happened in months [10:25] !UNR [10:25] Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [10:25] s3r3n1t7, no issues with the disk I know of, nothing in syslog to suggest it [10:25] JediMaster, in months? From what I've seen happening there are so many reboots before an automatic check is done. I would suggest letting it run (it can take up to half an hour or so) and check for the result. And yes, it may appear to be doing nothing. [10:26] it appears that Xorg.log also doesn't get made, so looks like it's straight before X is supposed to load that it's getting stuck [10:26] s3r3n1t7, it completed the disk check [10:26] s3r3n1t7, then froze, that was just one of the 5 boots that froze before I had to hit ctrl-alt-del [10:27] it wasn't doing a disk check at the time it froze [10:27] JediMaster, it did? Hmm .... Does the freeze happen before or after reboot? And can you ssh your way in? (unless you have no other pc to check with) [10:27] I power on the machine, it looks like it's about to get from plymouth into X and freezes indefinately until I hit ctrl-alt-del [10:27] ctrl-alt-f1-f12 do nothing [10:28] however, I have managed to get ctrl-alt-f1 in before it happens and there's been a few messages, one sec got a photo =) [10:28] Midori browser doesn't get flash working. Any solution? [10:28] JediMaster, I've noticed those have indeed been disabled in the default X configuration. There's a setting you can add which will enable them again [10:28] last thing on the screen is: "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" [10:28] then it also freezes in the first terminal until I hit ctrl-alt-del [10:29] then the login prompt appears and reboots [10:30] s3r3n1t7, I've not tried to ssh in yet at the time it happens but it's possible [10:30] s3r3n1t7, anything in particular to look for? [10:30] JediMaster, if it happens again pleas try that and pastebin what dmesg says. [10:30] This might be weird to ask here, but I'm looking for an art program that will work on Ubuntu. The main thing is that I need pressure sensitivity, when drawing with a tablet. Anyone have any suggestions? [10:30] kk [10:30] I'll try rebooting now [10:30] JediMaster, I'm reading a bug report which says there's a bug in mountall in combination with fsck. It's leading me to believe there's indeed an fsck going on [10:30] Midori problem, can't use Flash plugin. Any help? [10:31] s3r3n1t7, it completed just now without an issue (got to 100%) [10:31] s3r3n1t7, and every other time it's not mentioned doing a disk check [10:31] JediMaster, it's not the fsck itself, it's the combination of plymouth (whatever that is) and mountall, while doing an fsck [10:32] s3r3n1t7, plymouth is the program that display the new boot logo [10:32] JediMaster, Ah that explains their solution. Remove splash and quiet from grub [10:32] JediMaster, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/571707 [10:32] s3r3n1t7, also prepares the screen resolution as best it can to match the X screen res so you don't have to change res [10:32] hi [10:33] JediMaster, we learn something new everyday. Can you try the splash and quiet removal proposal as done in the bugreport? [10:33] haha [10:33] s3r3n1t7, pretty sure it's not that bug though, as I said, it's not that it gets stuck on 99%, it doesn't run the disk check most of the time at all [10:34] is there any way to use sudo in cron(tab)? [10:34] or write a file as root [10:34] josh__: various crons exist for users, also for root. Any script from root cron will be run as root user === ubuntu is now known as TravisM [10:35] how do i access root cron? [10:35] s3r3n1t7, are the "splash" "quiet" options explained in a grub manpage or menu.lst? I've always wondered what they do. [10:35] JediMaster, However, the problem does seem to be very related to plymouth, would you agree? [10:35] josh__: sudo crontab -e (will start with warning like no crontab for root, creating one) [10:35] thanks [10:36] Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu -- and this time I want to dual boot (I have been Ubuntu only for the past 3+ years), however, I just got a new computer and since I dont HATE Windows 7 (just dislike it), I think I would like to keep it [10:36] nawk, removing splash removes the logo and you will see some information. Removing quiet will also show any other output messages. Removing these 2 shows a lot of information going on while booting. [10:36] s3r3n1t7, well plymouth is running when the machine boots and it's happening as the machine boots, doesn't confirm it's an issue with it [10:36] s3r3n1t7, doesn't exclude it either [10:36] TravisM: So install 7 and ubuntu. done. [10:36] All the dual boot guides are long, and complicated looking... can I just use the installer click "manual" and then shrink the huge partition down to half size and then create the 2 partions I need for Ubuntu? [10:37] where can I configure mysql to listen in my private ip instead of 127.0.0.1 [10:37] TravisM: Yes, you can [10:37] JediMaster, So i want to exclude it from being an issue by asking you to boot without the splash and quiet. Would it harm to try? And if it doesn't solve it, we'll at least have excluded this possibility. [10:37] soreau: thanks [10:37] s3r3n1t7, yeah have changed the grub.cfg (feels odd somehow not being menu.lst anymore) [10:37] added a different boot option without splash and quiet [10:37] JediMaster, you can do a less permanent solution by doing it at boot time [10:38] if i run a command in sudo cron, do I have to specify sudo in the command or is it assumed? [10:38] josh__, the cron tab you are editing will be the user who will be running the command. thus, editing the root's crontab runs the command as root [10:38] josh__: a cron for root will be created, running all commands as root [10:38] s3r3n1t7, as you can see I'm booted in at the moment (on the machine in question), so I'll try powering it off and rebooting [10:38] thanks [10:38] JediMaster, I will be here. Let me know how it turns out. [10:39] s3r3n1t7, thanks for the help, brb [10:41] atrkl_: change value of bind-address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf [10:41] arkhe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151 something like this? [10:41] s3r3n1t7, guess what, it's frozen on shutting down rofl [10:42] JediMaster, can you ssh in atm? (the dmesg would be interesting ... i hope) [10:42] s3r3n1t7, well not frozen, just not shutting down [10:42] s3r3n1t7, I can switch to the first terminal and it says: Checking for running unattended-upgrades: * Asking all remaining processes to terminate ..... [OK] [10:43] JediMaster, and the last few messages from dmesg? [10:43] then: * All processes ended within 1 seconds.... (great grammar!) [10:43] I doubt ssh is running still, but I'll try [10:43] JediMaster, even better, pastebin the last 30 messages from dmesg if you wouldn't mind [10:43] oCean_: can I use comas, I mean bind-address = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.2 [10:44] JediMaster, which you can do with dmesg | tail -n30 > tmp [10:45] s3r3n1t7, heh, I can ssh in =) [10:46] JediMaster, the last bunch of messages if you wouldn't mind on pastebin [10:47] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/461042/ [10:47] from just at the end of the boot until just now [10:47] <_Jacob1987_> thanks. [10:47] s3r3n1t7, INFO: task python:2146 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [10:48] it's repeating that on the terminal now a few times [10:48] JediMaster, are you sure it ends there? Just pastebin the entire thing please (yes it's huge, i'll filter through it) [10:48] s3r3n1t7, yeah it did, but it's getting longer now [10:49] JediMaster, just pastebin what's on there atm please, i'm missing the kill signal that should be in there [10:49] s3r3n1t7, need it starting from 0? [10:49] as the scrollback in the bloody terminal isn't long enough lol [10:49] nm, I'll dump it to a file and scp it [10:49] JediMaster, that's what i was going to suggest [10:49] dmesg > file [10:50] lo [10:50] i'm running ubuntu netbook remix and trying to edit the main menu, but none of my changes (ie. hiding/showing) take effect [10:50] s3r3n1t7, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/461045/ [10:51] s3r3n1t7, I can see it complaining about my nfs mounts, that could be the issue [10:52] JediMaster, are you using cryptfs? [10:52] <_Jacob1987_> thanks. [10:52] s3r3n1t7, ecryptfs? yes [10:52] JediMaster, then I think it is quite related to your disc. check http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-08/msg05324.html [10:52] [ 184.883416] ecryptfs_decrypt_page: Error attempting to read lower page; rc = [-4] [10:52] [ 184.883421] ecryptfs_write_begin: Error decrypting page at index [65288]; rc = [-4] [10:53] MaRk-I, please don't copy information in here from a pastebin. [10:53] MaRk-I, thanks, but line numbers would have done =) [10:53] hi. i'm trying to create a simple chroot environment. i put a statically-linked copy of dash in there, and bind-mounted the /dev directory. i can chroot into the environment just fine, but i can't execute any other programs (despite the fact that PATH is set and contains the appropriate directories). can anybody provide some insight? [10:54] I didnt flood anyways keep going [10:54] that's a boot, and it's now shutting down that's the problem anyhow [10:55] JediMaster, well ecryptfs takes a lot more read/writes, thus causes somewhat a delay. If the delay is long enough eventually that the kernel thinks its blocked it's goin to cause an issue. [10:55] s3r3n1t7, I can see two defunct processes: [python] , both running as my own user rather than root [10:57] JediMaster, which are probably caused by the errors in your dmesg. Can you kill the parent processes? [10:57] s3r3n1t7, I think I shouldn't be killing PPID 1 =D [10:58] JediMaster, oh ... no ... that'd be bad [10:58] as one has a PPID of 1, that doesn't seem right for a python script [10:58] anyhow, the second one has the PPID of the first one [10:58] JediMaster, if it's called from init, then no that happens [10:58] so killing them both [10:58] JediMaster, kill the first one? [10:59] s3r3n1t7, yeah but it's run as my user [10:59] s3r3n1t7, not as root [10:59] s3r3n1t7, a straight kill doesn't work, trying a -9 [10:59] s3r3n1t7, likewise, -9 doesn't kill it [10:59] JediMaster, it's probably somehow/what corrupted [11:00] hmmf, how do you terminate a process that can't be -9'ed? [11:00] JediMaster, it's not a real process, but it is blocking your shutdown. Real as in, alive [11:01] hi, whats the default ext version for lucid ? [11:01] 3 or 4 ? [11:01] 4 [11:01] thx [11:02] JediMaster, i'm tempted to say do a hard reboot, reinstall python and the likes, then another reboot and see how it turns out [11:04] s3r3n1t7, looks like it's going that way, I'll try and unmount everything first [11:04] JediMaster, that would be smart, and sync / [11:05] s3r3n1t7, hmmf, can't umount the nfs shares =/ [11:05] sysrq+reisub [11:05] s3r3n1t7, I think it's stuck in the middle of unmounting: /bin/sh /etc/rc6.d/S31umountnfs.sh stop [11:05] is running [11:06] JediMaster, oh boy, that's quite a situation then eh =\ force umount? [11:06] s3r3n1t7, -o force? [11:07] JediMaster, -f (man umount) [11:07] JediMaster, and if that doens't work, -l [11:07] s3r3n1t7, neither work === King is now known as Guest48133 [11:08] now I have a tonne of dead unmount processes [11:08] JediMaster, that's very odd ... -l should work always ... it's like drop the reigns and never mind the rest ... === Benwa is now known as Nwab [11:08] nfs ... can't you unplug the cable, sync root and reboot? === Nwab is now known as Benwa [11:08] s3r3n1t7, it just sits there [11:09] JediMaster, somehow i think there's more then "just" the reboots that you have to do during bootup. It starts to sound like something is rather wrong with your box. [11:09] s3r3n1t7, I presume you mean network cable rather than SATA? =D [11:10] JediMaster, well yes ... [11:10] JediMaster, i presume you have common sense and don't jump of a building if i told you it'd fix your box? [11:12] s3r3n1t7, nah [11:13] far too little sense [11:13] =P [11:13] JediMaster, in that case i will mind my words ... _very_ carefully [11:13] well , how do i find out which OS i have?? i.e, jaunty , karmic etc? [11:13] trojan_spike, lsb_release -a [11:13] s3r3n1t7, haha, just kidding, have been using linux for 15 odd years on and off [11:14] JediMaster, but you are right, I should have been more clear on what cable to unplug. [11:14] ty [11:14] s3r3n1t7, but I am stupid enough to start typing into ssh with the network cable unplugged =D [11:14] s3r3n1t7, it's a hot day today here, brain is fried lol [11:14] JediMaster, you sir, have made my day. [11:15] * s3r3n1t7 throws a bucket of cold water over JediMaster's head [11:15] JediMaster, any luck yet? [11:15] nope [11:15] still can't unmount, have to ctrl-c them [11:15] it's all foobared [11:16] JediMaster, sync root and force reboot? [11:16] s3r3n1t7, just noticed too, unmount -f -l /nfspath1 /nfspath2 is stuck there straight after the unmount process that it stuck [11:17] so looks like it's nfs stopping it all from rebooting [11:17] JediMaster, kill nfs? [11:17] #xbmc [11:18] s3r3n1t7, there's no processing running for nfs is there? [11:18] er yeah there is [nfsoid], guess that's the one? [11:18] JediMaster, in all honesty, i would not know as I don't use NFS. [11:19] hi [11:19] s3r3n1t7, can't kill or kill -9 it [11:19] JediMaster, is there something running with data that has to be synced? If not, just hard reboot it ... [11:21] I'm have installed an Ubuntu with live cd (9.04) and it' seems unable to boot with an gui. it stays in the tty1-6 and forces me to login. when trying to run firefox it complains about no display available [11:22] I have* [11:22] also i can't use alt+ctrl+F7 [11:22] JediMaster: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/276476 read from msg #55 and on [11:22] can anyone point me in the right direction, i've got a PC running ubuntu 10.04, and I will like to run windows 7 on a virtual machine, how do i go about this? [11:23] lg188, sounds like you dont have an x-server running. But I recommend you talk to somebody else about it, because Im no expert. [11:23] terBot, I recommend you look into using VirtualBox by sun microsystems. [11:23] MaRk-I, #57 = Symptoms include not being [11:23] knoppies - thanks.. will give it a try [11:23] able to log in via SSH or IMAP for the duration of the errors <= He can login via SSH, and it should be fixed according to bug report. [11:24] terBot, Any time. [11:24] #55 even affects 10.04 === elric is now known as elorcle [11:24] knoppies: i tought the same, but i have no idea how to make it run [11:24] irani nist === pejy is now known as arash [11:25] how can i log in to a remote desktop via xdmcp? [11:25] irani nist [11:25] MaRk-I, thanks, don't see any solutions there though =/ [11:25] lg188, nor do I. I would personally try a fresh install. It sounds to me like something went wrong in your install (If you just installed it, as you imply). But other than that I have no idea. [11:25] man kos mikham [11:25] JediMaster: they marked it as fixed, I gues not [11:25] s3r3n1t7, sync has frozen too, so going to hard-reboot [11:26] JediMaster: try sysrq+ r e i s u b [11:26] Ç?ÑÇæ? æ?ÓÊ [11:26] JediMaster, see MaRk-I's tip above. And do an fsck [11:26] MaRk-I, what does that do? [11:26] does anyone else experience pidgin constantly hogging up 15-20% of the proc while doing nothing? this usually happens after it's been open a day or so [11:26] shuts down gracefully :P [11:26] JediMaster, syncs the FS thus allowing a safer reboot [11:27] JediMaster: http://kember.net/articles/reisub-the-gentle-linux-restart/ [11:28] never actually used sysreq, is it ctrl or alt then pritscreen? [11:28] JediMaster, print screen often functions as sysrq (at least it does for me) [11:29] here is FN+del [11:29] laptop [11:29] alt+sysrq+ r e i s u b [11:29] knoppies: mhm now that you say that i do rememmber that i never saw a GUI after the install. i totatly forgot that. [11:30] ??? [11:30] MaRk-I, do you have to hold sysreq down? [11:30] JediMaster, sysrq on my keyboard, requires the "fn" key to be pressed [11:30] lg188, did you use the liveCD? or an alternate install disk? (I kinda remember you saying liveCD) [11:30] yeah don't have an FN key, it's a uk layout keyboard [11:31] JediMaster, check the print screen button [11:31] JediMaster: yes sir both keys and just press r e s u b [11:31] MaRk-I, misspelled, you're missing the i [11:31] r e i s u b sorry missed the I [11:32] yeah, still not doing anything [11:32] JediMaster, done all the keys? [11:32] let it kill the process better than a dirty hard shutdown [11:32] knoppies: yup i used livecd but inside windows, i didn't want to risk losing my windows, i still want to be able to play games [11:32] MaRk-I, it's trying that (and thus far, failing) [11:32] let me get this right, so I hit printscreen/sysreq then let go and r e i s u b [11:32] knoppies: next time i'm keeping an eye on the install [11:33] JediMaster, also, alt [11:33] don't need to hold sysreq down? [11:33] JediMaster, yes, hold them down [11:33] hold down alt + printscreen, do not let go [11:33] s3r3n1t7, kk, pretty sure I trie it [11:33] then press the keys 1 at a time with 5 second interval [11:34] lg188, I understand. I would recommend using separate HDDs or partitions. I use old 10-80Gig HDDs for my linux installs. (except on my laptop where they are separate partitions) Keeping an eye on the install sounds like a good idea. [11:34] i need a good fan control for mu asus MB,, have water cooling with fan going none stop [11:34] s3r3n1t7, alt-gr and printscreen worked =) [11:34] JediMaster, good to hear. Its rebooting? [11:34] knoppies: also a notebook, i cant plug some extre hardrives in you know [11:35] lg188, yea. I almost used an external HDD [11:35] s3r3n1t7, yes, rebooted, let it boot as normal with splash, no issues and no fsck or hang [11:35] lg188, I hope your install goes well. If you need a hand dont hesitate to ask. [11:35] going to force a disk check and reboot [11:35] knoppies: i don't have one that i can plug permanently in, so not an option xD [11:36] knoppies: alright thanks :) [11:36] hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu minimal from a usb drive but I can't get it to work, the computer won't boot from that drive, any ideas? [11:36] knoppies: lol uhm should i remove it back trough windows and then reboot and use the live cd installer ? [11:37] lg188, Im not sure. I have never tried a wubi install. I have always booted from the disk (or USB image) and installed it to its own partition. [11:37] help! [11:37] krey: is your bios set right ? [11:37] lg188, or used a VM with a virtual HDD but thats pretty much the same. [11:38] lg188: i think so, I changed the boot sequence [11:38] s3r3n1t7, did a reboot after creating /forcefsck and no problems restarting this time [11:38] krey: that's wierd, [11:38] JediMaster, hmm ... check for the latest updates? [11:38] krey: i don't know much more which could help you. good luck [11:38] s3r3n1t7, was updated yesterday evening [11:38] krey, What USB device is it? HDD? external DVD? flash drive? [11:39] JediMaster, give me 3 to fix a problem here, be back with you then [11:39] knoppies: flash drive [11:39] s3r3n1t7, disk check is running now [11:39] s3r3n1t7, np [11:39] krey, how did you put the image on the flash drive? (Im trying to see if it is set to boot) [11:39] s3r3n1t7, fsck complete and no issues, started X fine [11:39] knoppies: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdb [11:40] going to power it off and see if I get the same issue [11:40] I can't access to my mysql from a client, I've just add GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@172.16.120.153; but I still get Host '192.168.254.245' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server [11:40] any ideas [11:40] anyone know anything about xbmc, it wont play video can only hear sound [11:40] knoppies: but I also tried unetbootin [11:40] tried the ~xbmc channel think they are all dead no answer in 2 days lol [11:40] * JediMaster is sure he can smell burnt gunpowder outside [11:41] krey, Ive never done that before. I normally use a windows machine and one of the pendrivelinux tools. (I have used some others, with success). I can look for a tutorial but I cant help you myself. [11:41] I save a file to a winows machine in the lan, the Windows machine user tries to open it and gets 'access denied' warning. Basically any file I save to that shared location is unopenable by that windows user, though I can open it. How can I fix? [11:41] wizard_, (not that I can help you) what OS version are you running? (and while you are at it, the xbmc version as well) [11:42] knoppies: I tried pendrive linux, but it died complaining that my flash drive isn't big enough (256 of 700 MB) even though the image is 14 MB [11:42] knoppies, running 10.04 - latest version [11:42] Gryllida, the ownership/permissions of that file need editing. Not sure how to do it for a windows user. You might be able to find something useful on google. [11:42] I've just realised that I've mad a boo boo with the size of my partitions is there any way of resizing them? [11:43] krey: reformat the usb you cant "burn" the iso if there's files on it oh and make sure its formatted to fat32 [11:43] ext3.resize [11:43] krey, that sounds odd. I wonder why it thinks it needs 700mb for a 14mb image. === OerHeks is now known as Oer [11:43] MaRk-I: thanks, lemme try that again [11:43] JediMaster, how's the reboot going? [11:44] Tricks, I know that the gparted gui seems to imply that you can resize partitions, but I have always steered clear because I am worried I will kill my data. There should be gparted on all ubuntu liveCDs [11:44] s3r3n1t7, rebooted fine 3 times in a row, so I powered it off, now it's stuck again, however, I'm sshed in [11:44] s3r3n1t7, and the fsck I forced went through fine with no problems [11:44] knoppies, urgh, when on network the file's permissions tab is not containing any info, 'this file permissions can not be determined' [11:44] JediMaster, can you ssh in now it's stuck? [11:44] yes [11:44] JediMaster, once again, the dmesg if you please [11:44] knoppies, I get that for info window for any file on that windows machine [11:45] s3r3n1t7, I can see /bin/bash /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer is running [11:45] s3r3n1t7, looks like it may be an Xorg issue [11:45] JediMaster, can happen. Mind pastebinning it? [11:45] knoppies, how can I try to fix/troubleshoot it? [11:45] knoppies, yeah that's what I'm worries about... well to be fair it's a fresh install so it wouldn't be too bad it's a centos box though. I have gparted on a live cd so i'll have to do it that way [11:46] knoppies, when I save that file locally and email it, windows user is able to open it. [11:46] guys, when i make my screen resolution higher than 1024x768 it doesnt stretch to my screen and i need to use the mouse to get to the corners, any idea how to make it stretch ?? [11:46] Gryllida, I find it difficult to determine if you are looking at the file from windows or ubuntu, or if you created the file from windows/ubuntu. Im not actually sure how to fix cross platform permission problems. But my first step at troublshooting would be ubuntu forums and google. Not sure how to search for this kind of issue. [11:47] Tricks, never used centos before. I would backup anything important/not replaceable. Good luck. [11:48] can anyone help me please with the screen resolution, i spent a whole day on this so far [11:48] i can choose higher resolutions but they wont stretch to my screen [11:48] knoppies, will do mate. centos probs best operating system I've worked with yet. rock solid [11:48] hello [11:48] i have two monitors [11:48] JediMaster, the thing is, there's probably a message in dmesg which tells you what went wrong when and how. once we isolate that we can fix it [11:48] knoppies: 1) I make the file in gEdit on Ubuntu 2.1) save it to local location and copy to the shared one OR save to the shared one directly - windows user gets 'access denied' 2.2) save it locally and email - windows user can open it successfully [11:49] how can i confifure the X to display fullscreen apps only on one monitor [11:49] ? [11:49] knoppies: I'm not sure how to google for it at all [11:49] knoppies, just finished configuring DHCP, DNS and samba share and it's all working beautifully :) [11:49] MetaBot: ping [11:49] s3r3n1t7, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/461064/ [11:50] Tricks, that was quick. I wish you could do mine as well. I can never get a windows machine to access my samba shares. Permission issues most of the time. Im glad to hear your problem is solved. [11:50] any idea ? [11:51] JediMaster, nothing wrong whatsoever. You said you think it's related to xorg, can you check their log file? [11:51] s3r3n1t7, Xorg.0.log: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call [11:51] s3r3n1t7, that's what's killing X [11:52] hallo zusammen [11:52] knoppies, yeah well the problem that took me 3 days to resolve was SELinux turn that bad boy off and windows xp could connect [11:52] how come when i make resolution higher than 1024x768 it wont stick to screen boundries and make me use mouse to scroll to corners?? [11:52] JediMaster, something like this? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323501 [11:52] s3r3n1t7, btw that was a fatal server error [11:53] Hello there [11:53] leider ist ubuntuusers down, kann mir jmd schnell erläutern, wie ich grub wieder richtig installier. so dass auch win angezeigt wird? [11:53] i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? [11:53] knoppies, need to find out why that is though but that ones for a later date [11:53] !de | tux [11:53] tux: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [11:53] thanks Tricks I will have a look into that. [11:53] @kudakz maybe you should change screen settings using monitor controls [11:53] JediMaster, i suspected as much reading from this bug report [11:53] s3r3n1t7, seems identical to my issue [11:53] knoppies, no worries mate [11:53] could be kdm related then? [11:54] JediMaster, it _might_ be, yes ... at least, these guys use kdm [11:54] ... [11:54] ? [11:54] Lama_Chok: my monitor doesnt have any options to change that [11:54] s3r3n1t7, well this is kubuntu, didn't think it'd be the K causing the issue, but I guess it is =/ [11:54] JediMaster, it might, yes [11:54] i have two monitors, how can i set the full screen apps to display only on one monitor ? [11:55] @kudakz; i believe your monitor is not an LCD one [11:55] s3r3n1t7, reboot, hope and file a bug report? [11:55] Lama_Chok: it is [11:55] JediMaster, you can switch to gnome by installing ubuntu-desktop, which should default it to gnome automagically, or that [11:55] I'm trying to configure object policy on ebox and I'm getting bad hour of the day value error. Could anyone out there be know the time format/value? [11:56] try to resize the screen settings using the buttons provided on the monitor [11:56] JediMaster, apparently they think gdm is to bloated and slow compared to kdm to cause issues [11:56] s3r3n1t7, no, frankly I'd rather live with rebooting 5 times in the morning than switch back to gnome =D [11:56] Lama_Chok: its not that it doesnt fit the screen, it goes beyond the boundries [11:56] JediMaster, you know you can use kde from gdm right? [11:56] hi [11:57] s3r3n1t7, oh thought you meant run gnome, not gdm =D [11:58] i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? [11:58] JediMaster, gnome and kde come after kdm/gdm. Reading back my wording was wrong. What i wanted to suggest was try out gdm instead of kdm [11:58] @kudakz; mostly this happens when correct display drivers are not installed [11:58] Hi guys, anyone with ebox configuration experience? [11:59] s3r3n1t7, yeah that I can handle =) [12:00] question, if one accidently rm's /dev [12:00] smarted way to regenerate ? [12:00] zykes-, reboot [12:00] chrispin: ask straight away, we might have had the experience, or just google out it for you as well. [12:00] i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? [12:00] s3r3n1t7: thing is that /boot [12:00] is missing... [12:01] zykes-, so you didn't just rm /dev? === Guest89249 is now known as robertf [12:01] correct.. [12:01] @mastercorp : use different work space [12:01] zykes-, yikes ... [12:01] no kidding [12:02] zykes-, rough thought and solution ... built a vm with vm-builder, copy that boot and pray that it works [12:02] i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? [12:03] masterkorp, in the settings for your display set it to use seperate X sessions. [12:03] s3r3n1t7, first boot into gdm has gone fine, I guess it's a kdm issue [12:03] JediMaster, mind checking half a dozen times to be sure? [12:04] s3r3n1t7, obviously nothing to do with the nfs issue earlier though [12:04] JediMaster, which surprises me (but is obviously a good thing) [12:04] s3r3n1t7, but then i have two sessions, i can move windows form one monitor to another [12:05] Gryllida, I'm getting Bad hour of the day value error when trying to configure http object policy. could you be knowing the right/correct value/time format? [12:05] s3r3n1t7, err, weird, I can't shutdown from KDE now, can only log out to GDM [12:05] masterkorp, it's a difficult situation (and quite different from windows) ... [12:06] yes, ai have searcher a lot [12:06] a no "clean" solution [12:06] s3r3n1t7, ..... ARGGHHH [12:06] s3r3n1t7, stuck shutting down again, [12:06] JediMaster, ... [12:06] s3r3n1t7, /bin/sh /etc/rc0.d/S31umountnfs.sh stop is running and unmount -l -f again [12:07] looks like two bug reports to fill in [12:07] JediMaster, do you happen to have a log somewhere? And yes, good idea [12:07] chrispin: possibly try #ebox [12:08] hello [12:08] how can i change the boot order in ubuntu 10.4 (i want to boot windows xp by default) [12:08] i used to know how to do this with old grub [12:08] but now i have no idea [12:09] s3r3n1t7, yeah keeping track of the errors: [ 360.850030] INFO: task pulseaudio:2183 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [12:09] s3r3n1t7, same blocked errors [12:10] JediMaster, somehow i'm still thinking this is related to your ecryptfs setup [12:10] symtab_, not sure off hand but how about this http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html [12:10] s3r3n1t7, how does that stop nfs unmounting though? [12:10] symtab_, or here http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3107328.0 [12:10] JediMaster, not specifically about nfs, but about the blocked processes [12:11] any way to remove the encrypted fs from the home dir? [12:11] while keeping the files! [12:11] Gryllida: are you sharing that folder with samba? [12:11] JediMaster, create a new partition, copy all files over, mount over your old home dir? [12:12] symtab_, if those done help you can go to the #grub channel :) [12:12] s3r3n1t7, /home is mounted on the root partition (just one partition + swap) [12:12] s3r3n1t7, not really mounted, it's in the root partition [12:12] Hey guys, does anyone know which channel I should join to ask for testers for an application? [12:13] JediMaster, the only way to "remove" ecryptfs from it is to copy it to a new fs on a seperate partition [12:13] Tahakki, which appliation? [12:13] application [12:13] s3r3n1t7, why a seperate fs? [12:13] Tahakki, you could try ##linux...or if you want it tested on ubuntu either post it on theforum or go to #ubuntu-offtopic? [12:13] It's one I wrote in Python. [12:13] Tahakki, ah ok [12:14] JediMaster, because you want your home dir to have another FS then what you currently have, that is what you asked wasn't it? [12:14] Tahakki, mm well can you post it on the forum? [12:14] Is there a forum in Ubuntu for announcing your own projects? [12:14] Tahakki, mm let me check [12:14] Thanks. :) [12:14] s3r3n1t7, found a how-to to remove it =) [12:14] JediMaster, goodies :) [12:14] Tahakki, http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=310 [12:15] Tahakki, that may be the place for you :) if you post it give me the link I will test it here also :) [12:15] Tahakki, no thats not the correct link hold on [12:15] righto [12:15] * lk29a says hello all from india [12:15] Good morning all.

I added the "Aquire::http_proxy" information to /etc/apt/apt.conf, but I still cannot get through the proxy. I get an error that the proxy requires authentication.

[12:19] ok [12:19] thanks so much! ^_^ [12:19] no problem === sree is now known as sreR [12:20] Well, euh, can i ask something about WineHQ? [12:20] SalahGo, yeah, go ahead. :P [12:20] or it isn't the right place? :s [12:20] can any one help me get rid of loging splash that after grub starts system? [12:21] Well... some apps launches a second .exe file to work after being launched themselves [12:21] Odd...which ones? [12:21] & This won't work with Wine since it loads Dlls & isn't able to launch more than 1 .exe file, if u don't ask for that [12:22] Vasql: you mean the "user login" ? [12:22] I would like to be able to access files on my home computer from my laptop when I'm not a home. What should I look into?

[12:23] Vasql: you have to remove "splash" and "quiet" from the grub [12:23] Can I install KDE applications on my Gnome desktop? Is it going to change anything on my system? I want to replace rythmbox with amarok [12:23] do you guys know of anty player than can play shoutcast streams ? [12:23] Gordon_Gekko: sure [12:23] @coz The .tar.gz should work on any version of Ubuntu. [12:23] Tahakki, great thanks [12:23] @coz What distro do you use? [12:23] jrib, is it going to effect my system? [12:23] My question is: how can i turn the 2nd .exe file into a dll lib so it can be launched with Wine with the 1st .exe file [12:23] Tahakki, I use karmic at the moent I wont use lucid 4 bugs still not fixed :) [12:24] Gordon_Gekko: well only in the sense that you'll have amarok installed [12:24] @coz Actually, the .deb should work on any version of ubuntu. [12:24] Preferably Karmic or above though. [12:24] Tahakki, unresolvable dependencies but I will attempt the tar.gz first [12:24] Which dependencies? [12:25] Tahakki, hold on [12:25] well, another question: any room for WineHQ? :p [12:25] Tahakki, Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-gst0.10 (>= 0.10.18-1) [12:25] Hmm, PyGST. [12:25] no one can help me? [12:25] mmm REISUB goodness [12:25] That latest version must be lucid-only. [12:25] Vasql: MaRk-I already did... [12:25] im struggle one week [12:25] alexi5: rhythmbox and banshee can play shoutcast streams you just have to add them manually [12:26] JediMaster, hmm? [12:26] Tahakki, right no big deal :) [12:26] Can you try the .tar.gz and tell me which version of python-gstreamer you use? [12:26] Vasql: did you update grub? [12:26] Tahakki, hold on [12:26] thanks jrib [12:26] It'll mean I can change the .debs to work in Karmic. [12:26] s3r3n1t7, had to sysrq-r-e-s-i-u-b it because it wouldn't shut down [12:27] jrib, thank you :) [12:27] Tahakki, 0.10.17-1 [12:27] I have a problem. My mother is using ubuntu, and the laptop she has has just booted into single user mode [12:27] thanks MaRK-I [12:27] she's 300 km away [12:27] how would I even begin to diagnose this? [12:27] alexi5: do you know how to add them? [12:27] @coz Okay, does the .tar.gz work? [12:28] Tuna-Fish2: ask what she did last successful boot [12:28] Tahakki, yes it does [12:28] helllo [12:28] @coz Can you check that webcam and compiling to video both work? If so I can change this for Karmic. [12:28] MaRK-I: using synaptic ? [12:28] I have to wonder what ever happened to that 'bullet proof X' thing we had a few releases back. :) [12:29] Mark yes i fix grub and splsh of grub got away but still can't logging in text mode just after grub starts i have black screen [12:29] seems that was designed to 'fix' a lot of the driver breakage of X issues ive been seeing the last few weeks [12:29] alexi5: rhythmbox is already installed by default (I think) I meant the radio stations [12:29] Tuna-Fish2: how do you know it's single user mode? [12:29] I remove from grub "quiet splash" [12:29] jrib: no sudo [12:29] Vasql: theres also a 'text' mode you can use instead of quite/splash. change 'quiet splash' to be 'text' [12:29] Tuna-Fish2: what do you mean by "no sudo"? [12:29] maRk-I: installing the radio stations . No [12:30] Tahakki, although now I cannot fullscreen the application and there is no maximize button [12:30] @coz That is deliberate [12:30] Tahakki, ok [12:30] Does webcam and video compile work okay? [12:30] alexi5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J0YvYQ09WI [12:30] maRk-I: ok thanks [12:30] Tahakki, the webcam works fine I havent tried the video compile yet [12:30] I shuld put "quiet text" or just "text"? [12:31] Tahakki, let me test it with a few photos hold on [12:31] Vasql: did you do "sudo update-grub"? [12:31] jrib: sudo wasn't recognized as a command. It appears that it is not actually in single user mode -- it is in initrd shell! the disk apparently broke [12:31] Mark yes [12:31] Vasql: just text [12:32] ok i try again ty [12:32] Tahakki, no film created let me see if it sent it to home directory [12:32] Vasql: the 'text' option is sort of a 'failsafe' option - in case you are hacing some other issues. [12:32] Tahakki, nope [12:32] @coz You have to type the path of the film [12:32] Tahakki, I did that [12:32] When it tells you to [12:32] and make sure it ends in .mp4 [12:33] Tahakki, http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=310 [12:33] no [12:33] Tahakki, failed to link filmTheora with filmOggmux [12:33] strange.

[12:41] @zus there is a helper for Docky that allows you to do that. [12:41] Tahakki, let me play with this for a few days... on maverick... I will report bugs [12:41] @coz Thanks! :) [12:41] Dr_Willis, whats the name of the file? [12:41] Tahakki, no problem glad to do it.. I really like the idea of this application a great deal :) [12:42] zus: There is a package called nautilus-open-terminal in Universe that will do that. [12:42] hello. I am trying to use iptables to port forward, I have two IP's on my machine, how do I use iptables to forward from port 80 to 8080 on an ip of 10.1.1.2? [12:42] zus: no idea. use the pacakge manager search feature === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [12:42] io, thanks [12:43] * Dr_Willis thinks one can drag/drop a folder into gnome-terminal and it might cd to there. :) [12:43] zus: That package needs to be installed, then log out and back in (Ctrl + Alt + Backspace) then "Open in Terminal" should now be in the Nautilus context menue. [12:43] 'coz Cheers. Remember if there are features you want you can make a blueprint. ^_^ [12:43] whats the best browser on ubuntu? [12:43] zus: menu, even. [12:43] Dr_Willis, actually it just pastes the link in there [12:43] io, thanks. [12:43] io: that key vombo hasent worked by defaukt In ubuntu in ages. :) [12:44] s3r3n1t7: bummer :) so much for features eh [12:44] Dr_Willis: I'm using 10.04 and it works for me. :-) [12:44] Dr_Willis, well it's better then typing (especially for 10 folders down) [12:44] !zap [12:44] log out or can i restart nautilus? [12:44] Tahakki, ok cool... it will take a few days .. I may have to change systems for this to work... but I will let you know at some point :) [12:44] !dontzap | io [12:44] io: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [12:44] Dr_Willis: And dragging a folder to Terminal does not make Terminal cd to that folder. [12:44] @abstrusenick I use Chrome, but Opera is very good too. [12:45] zus: Restart Nautilus/Gnome will work too. [12:45] @coz Thanks. [12:45] can we make ubuntu render font like mac? [12:45] s3r3n1t7: I don't need to know how to do it, I obviously already know that. :-) [12:45] You got to do 'cd' then drag/drop and it adds the name here. oh wait that may be a terminator speciic feature [12:45] abstrusenick, how does mac render font? [12:45] io, obviously ... but you assumed it works by default, whereas the link shows you it does not. [12:45] with subpixel aliasing [12:45] io, cool, how do i do that again? [12:46] its alot smootehr [12:46] abstrusenick, /sytem/preferences/ appearnce Fonts tab Subpixel smoothing [12:46] type cd, then drag/drop, then hit enter. :) there ya go. wonder if there a bash feature to auto-cd to a directory name when the name is entered. [12:47] Dr_Willis, i doubt that, since it would hamper a lot when typing lots of dirs in combination with commands === eloric is now known as elroic [12:47] My Ubuntu uses subpixel smoothing by default. [12:47] Dr_Willis: type cd letter letter lette letter would be much faster ;> [12:48] zus: I haven't done that for years, does "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" still work?

[12:49] s3r3n1t7: i mean when the only thing is a 'directory name' but then you can get issues with dir names the same as command names I guess [12:49] io thanks [12:49] at least drag/dropping isent doing a file://path/to/the/thing like ive seen it do befor [12:49] Hallo, does anyone know how to set up Java to use a USB headset, by any chance? [12:49] hi. I compiled and installed a module. how do I make the system to load that module while booting? [12:49] s3r3n1t7, thanks as well.. [12:49] Dr_Willis, i do like the feature as it is [12:49] pepee: does it load when you 'sudo modprobe modulename' ? [12:50] Dr_Willis, yep, it's running now === xd is now known as Guest93205 === elroic is now known as eloric [12:50] s3r3n1t7: I was thinking befor. it dident add the single quotes. but that was some time back last i tried it [12:50] Dr_Willis: could be [12:50] Carsten-: Something similar to "iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080"? [12:50] pepee: Add it to /etc/modules, I think. [12:50] Carsten-: Obviously change it to suit your setup. [12:51] Thanks IO.. only problem I have two ip's on this box I need to know how to do it for just one of the two ip's [12:51] pepee: Yep, add the name of the module to the bottom of /etc/modules. :) [12:51] Tahakki, yeah, thanks, that what I was searching for [12:51] No problem... === eloric is now known as elorcale [12:52] be aware of this: http://downloads.securityfocus.com/vulnerabilities/exploits/41465.sh === elorcale is now known as elorcle [12:52] By the way, chaps, what is the barrier for entry for a Ubuntu member? [12:52] any ideas how to fix the password problem? [12:53] I've done lots of translations, but only a few bugfixes and no packaging. [12:53] !membership | Tahakki [12:53] Tahakki: Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [12:53] io: can i replace eth0 with the IP in question? [12:54] pepee, further research shows this security hole is fixed and is only relevant for multi-user systems. [12:54] s3r3n1t7, oh ok, good to know it :D [12:54] I've seen that page, just wondered what the barrier is? Roughly? [12:54] The page isn't very specific. [12:54] Carsten-: Before --dport add "-d IP" and instead of --to-port use "--to X.X.X.X:8080". [12:55] Does anyone know how Java's sound.properties works? [12:55] Tahakki: There is no set barrier that you must exceed to be approved for membership. === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [12:55] * Carsten- goes crosseyed [12:55] io: may I pm you?

That is of the top of my head though so check it and change it to suit your setup. [13:00] Thanks; I've checked it with playonlinux that is an improved wine but the Error says : It could not install on this operating system [13:00] hi anyone know some application which can make me iso copy from my instaled ubuntu please ?

[13:04] Dr_Willis, ty so much it works :) [13:05] io: I came across that page via google, but unfortunantly with my limited knowledge I could not makes heads nor tails of it [13:05] Play on linux is a little weird/flakey in ways. [13:06] irssi [13:06] how to make from current instalation ubuntu iso for another install ??? cant find any apps. i did try remastersys and it is givin me to many errors [13:06] Carsten-: We don't do homework, most knowledge in here exists from manpages and experience. Reading that website that I linked you to will explain the process so that you actually understand what you are doing. [13:06] Dr_Willis: what's ppa ? [13:07] io: again I have read it before I came here but it did nothing for me.. if you cant help thats fine just say so, I'll just keep asking every now and then...

[13:17] bihari: send pm [13:17] well when i update something its says network problem [13:17] bobsomebody, with a windows server for synergy i've never succeeded in fixing that [13:18] I tend to just disable screensacvers when using synergy [13:18] Dr_Willis: or it can be done just by rightclick->Scripts->gnome2-terminal-here === Zero is now known as Guest39027 [13:19] ohir: you really are lagged... :) [13:19] because i swear i remember it working once upon a time then I decided to change things up so they didnt turn on [13:19] bobsomebody, you have to run the synergy server as admin [13:19] can i use this command sudo apt-get install tor to install it [13:19] Dr_Willis: scripts can be found at http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ [13:19] !tor | piero [13:19] piero: Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks More information available in #freenode [13:19] airtonix, i did that [13:19] Dr_Willis: yep, I am. Still workday. [13:19] ohir: i have writen many a nautilus script [13:20] yea [13:20] ohir: the whole nautilys scriopting stuff gets so overlooked and shorted,. [13:20] bobsomebody, have you got the server set to "start on login" [13:20] Dr_Willis: ok, so why advicing drag-n-drop to commandline ?;) [13:20] ohir: because its handy if you got a terminal open perhaps? [13:20] airtonix, yeah, i used run as to check if admin was the issue [13:20] bobsomebody, then turn it off. [13:21] ohir: or if you want to do a 'some other command' and drag/drop it. [13:21] Dr_Willis: thats a good excuse :) [13:21] bobsomebody, i assume you are using windows vista or 7 ? [13:22] xp, to lazy to move to 7 just yet [13:22] Dr_Willis: anyway 'how to open terminal here' is enough frequent to do ubottu factoid I think [13:22] ohir: spend some time just trying drag/dropping everything in gnome to whever it makes sence , or not so much sence. :) gnome has some DnD features taht are easy to overlook [13:23] airtonix, im gonna hold really still and let the screen saver kick in using run as non admin to see if that helps [13:23] Dr_Willis: I am terminal dino, no need for wearing my joints with mouse :) [13:23] bobsomebody, win7 has native virtual desktop support (just no interface for creating more workspaces like linux does) so when you make synergy run at startup it makes it a 'service' thus causing it to run in the admins userspace and not yours hence not on your screen [13:24] airtonix, same results [13:25] bobsomebody, did you tell it to not run on startup... [13:25] interesting, i never knew that about win7, i wonder if they made any powertoys for it, i know on xp you can get one for multiple desktop workspaces but things go south fast [13:26] i manually killed the app and ran it as a non admin user === administrator is now known as Guest40017 [13:27] bobsomebody, you'll always get the same problem unless its running as single user mode not as a service. check the advanced button [13:27] ooooooooo i just had a stroke of genius... i think, brb [13:27] hello, i have problem with pidgin goes automatic on start up the computer and I want to stop it what code should i type in terminal? [13:28] Guest40017, "automatic on start up" <<< what does this mean ? [13:28] im thinking compitz might be where its going wrong [13:28] bobsomebody, i doubt it, because i don't have problems with that. [13:30] hrm, i think your right, i could have sworn there was something about screen saver in there that i was fiddling with [13:30] Folks, is there a way to modify shortcut icon in Ubuntu Netbook lucid [13:31] hello [13:31] it's chromium icon [13:31] I need to start it diferently [13:31] in which file it is stored?

[13:43] airtonix, i just noticed my screen saver wont initialize at all, i set it to 1 min, shutdown synergy, watched 3 min's click by and nothing happened [13:43] flambo, can you not set your visibility to only those on your list ? [13:43] airtonix: not a clue,, [13:44] bobsomebody, ? sorry i thought your windows side of the synergy was dissapearing into a hidden screen? [13:44] no the linux side of things is [13:44] hello, im trying to help my friend with recovery of an external usb drive with an ntfs partition which was being accessed with ubuntu 10.04 successfully when the machine locked and afterwards the ntfs partition will not mount, it is not just the dirty flag ubuntu brings up a message saying that it is important to run chkdsk /f , but xp/win7 wont even enumerate the volume, and the best win offers is to 'initialise the partition table' no thanks. ub [13:45] untu shows the partition table is fine, mbr style, with one large ntfs partition and an extended reiserfs partition. any help on what software so i can mount this drive its a TB and so its got alot of important stuff on it [13:45] the windows box is the synergy server [13:45] bobbytek, i thnk you need to describe the problem again for me [13:45] ... [13:45] bobsomebody, ^ === ndhawan is now known as GulabChand === GulabChand is now known as Seth [13:46] (lol everyone does that) but the problem is when the screen savers kick in, the linux screen acts like its going into power save mode [13:46] test === yessir_turan is now known as dfder [13:46] bobsomebody, which screen saver ?

[13:47] yup [13:48] airtonix: tell me the complete command, why cant i create using create new foldre option [13:48] bobsomebody, i assume you've already checked : system > preferences > screensaver ? [13:48] its a fairly basic setup, nothing over the top or hackish [13:48] bouma: well, ubuntu offers some ntfs utlities in ntfsprogs [13:48] yeah i set up all that stuff [13:49] arunkumar413, explain what you are trying to do [13:49] bobsomebody, how did you run the synergyc ? [13:49] its set to kick in on startup but i killed it to see if the screen saver would kick in or not [13:49] bazhang: i need to create a folder for my electronic symbol libraries under the directory where the executable file is located [13:50] bazhang: the executable file is in the /usr/bin [13:50] bobsomebody, what i mean is on the linux machine are you a) using quicksynergy or, b) using /usr/bin/synergyc -f nameofyour-windows-machine.local [13:50] airtonix, b [13:51] bobsomebody, and you say you have it "running on startup" << elaborate [13:51] arunkumar413, installed via the package manager?

[13:52] arunkumar413, which app [13:52] bazhang: gschem [13:53] bazhang: its a part of gEDA [13:53] geda-gschem arunkumar413 this? [13:53] airtonix, yeah but its just the default stuff (your talking about the synergy config correct?) [13:54] Folks, is there a way to modify favorites shortcut icon ( I need to modify chromium shortcut to start in kiosk mode) [13:54] bobsomebody, i use aliases and bonjour hostnames for my config [13:54] bobsomebody, here is what i would do first : 1) install openssh-server and screen on the linux machine 2) get putty for windows 3) login to the linux machine 4) run screen 5) then run : synergyc -f servername/ip [13:54] bazhang: yes [13:54] screen? [13:55] bazhang: for creating my own schematic symbols i need to create my own directory [13:55] arunkumar413, just checking the forums [13:55] hello is there a windows channel, or someone who can advise me on how to recover an ntfs partition which wont mount after being used under ubuntu which hung [13:55] bobsomebody, its like workspaces for terminal... you can detach them and re attach them... and inside each workspace you can have running programs left alone after you logout from ssh [13:56] oh i thought that sounded familiar [13:56] how do i get my Epson scanner/printer to work in Opensuse KDE 11.2?? [13:57] i must admit im confused a bit on how this moves towards a solution with the screen saver not kicking in [13:57] bobsomebody, you do it this way because all sorts of things go wrong on the remote machine thus using screen allows you to start up synergy in verbose mode and then detach from it when you don't need to see it [13:57] stevehedge: this is #ubuntu [13:57] stevehedge, try #suse === fulldarkness is now known as slim [13:57] bobsomebody, the verbose output of synergy might give you a clue as to exactly what is going wrong. === om26er_ is now known as om26er [13:58] bazhang: this is what i need to do inorder to create my own symbols: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PCZY8uJY [13:58] stevehedge: I believe OpenSUSE is another distro, it is not supported here. === Paulecas is now known as Paulo39 [13:58] airtonix, let me see if i can find the switch for synergyc's verbose mode [13:58] bobsomebody, it is "-f" [13:59] i think i have that set at start up :S let me double check it [13:59] hi [13:59] .. [14:00] hi [14:00] hi [14:00] huh, i guess i took it out, im gonna give that a go [14:01] bobsomebody, on my desktop machine at home (running karmic) the screensaver kicks in after 10min i think. i don't think i have any power saving options turned on, but because i launch synergy under the currently logged in user via ssh > screen > synergyc -f remotehostname.local [14:01] airtonix, ill have to admit i figured getting glmatrix onto windows running through avast screen saver was going to be the hard part of this stupid idea lol [14:01] that was actually kinda easy [14:02] hi all guys...I'm noob and not english-native language. I need a help: I running on ubuntu 10.04 and reading a "for dummies" guide that show me how to find a services panel, but in "systems - administration-..." there is not the "services" . Someone help me and explain how to reinstall this or how to find the same functions ? [14:02] bobsomebody, when you say screen saver kicks in like power saving mode, do you mean the linux box suspends or just has a locked screensaver requiring you to enter you username and password ? === dfder is now known as yessir_turan [14:02] Roy_, system=>administration=>system monitor=>services [14:03] airtonix, the screen itself goes into the power save mode but the system itself does nothing different [14:04] bobsomebody, and this is after a period of inactivity which causes the screensaver to launch. ? [14:04] no, it does absolutely nothing then [14:04] arunkumar413 you want to add a schematic? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/gschem.1.html [14:04] ah he quit [14:04] only if it gets the screen saver sync from synergy will it do that with the screen [14:04] arunkumar413 you want to add a schematic? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/gschem.1.html [14:05] bobsomebody, im not sure what you mean by that to be honest ? synergy communicates with screensavers ? [14:05] well remember how i had the screen savers synced with synergy? [14:05] bazhang: no [14:06] on that event, (initialized by the windows host computer's screen saver kicking in) it will give me that power save mode on the linux screen [14:06] bobsomebody, not really. does this problem happen regardless of the screensaver you choose ? [14:06] is there a kind of paicho in the games ? [14:06] you know i didnt check that... let me try it, brb [14:06] arunkumar413, then to add what ever it is you wish ( a folder one directory up apparently) you'd need to use sudo [14:07] does anyone know what folder firefox plugins are in? [14:07] Roy_, oh yah my mistake [14:07] ja660k_: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ but if you mean addons it's in ~/.mozilla/firefox/profilename/extensions I think [14:08] Roy_ are you in admin account? if not then crosscheck it from there because i am now in stadard account. so i can see [14:09] I'm admin , I running on test notebook... [14:09] s3r3n1t7, no problems with any reboots or shutdowns since installing gdm and removing ecryptfs [14:09] JediMaster, good to hear :-) [14:10] JediMaster, yet i still wonder what was wrong with it ... [14:10] is there a way to keep monitor settings persistent through sleep/hibernate? [14:10] what does data hook mean ? [14:10] s3r3n1t7, that and I just removed 3 years of dust from the water cooling's tripple fan radiator, and there was a lot of dust! [14:10] bobsomebody, ahh i never noticed that config option : screenSaverSync = {true|false} [14:11] ubuntu the best [14:11] i love ubuntu [14:11] JediMaster, i doubt that has an effect on the software [14:11] ubuntu love you ;) [14:11] s3r3n1t7, well it's 30C+ in the room and I figured it can't help if it's overheating =) [14:11] airtonix, well this time it did absolutely nothing [14:12] JediMaster, true [14:12] using a different screen saver [14:12] bobsomebody, that implies it requires the same screensaver software on both machines ? seems a bit retarded to me [14:13] good morning everyone in the house. [14:13] how are you all doing today? [14:13] Thanks god is friday [14:13] bobsomebody, i've never actually used that option though so im not too sure how to move forward apart from just not using it.

[14:15] airtonix, yeah i had the glmatrix going on linux with xp running something retarded like starfeild i think [14:16] but it looked tacky so i had them set to power save [14:16] bobsomebody, just a blank screen instead then ? [14:16] hi, anybody knows where is the Services Manager on ubuntu 10.04? [14:17] Services Manager? [14:17] what do you expect it to do? [14:17] airtonix, at first yes, but then i adjusted the power managment stuff on all 3 to power down the screens before the blank screens kicked in [14:17] system - administration - startup [14:17] Gryllida, apache, mysql, etc... [14:17] Gryllida, tuliohm means the gui aspect of $ sudo service blah blah stop [14:17] exactly [14:17] tuliohm, there isn't one.

[14:18] airtonix, I remember o.O [14:18] wait a second..

Any idea what could cause this? [14:24] tuliohm, sudo apt-get install bum [14:25] bobsomebody, when you say "cant seem to get it to do anything now", does this mean that not even the mouse of keyboard attached to the linux box cause any response ? [14:25] there is no mouse or keyboard attached to the linux box [14:26] when i say do anything i mean it wont even do the power save mode, it just acts like its not going idle [14:26] airtonix, I'm using it :P [14:26] better than the old one [14:26] no screen flicker, no screen saver, nothing [14:27] bobsomebody, so the screen is not physically repsonding ? [14:27] it is, i just ment its not doing what it should [14:27] (im talking to you on the linux box) [14:27] anyone know why, when i try to open file with other application, set it as the default application, it goes back to toetem(avi) [14:27] i want vlc [14:28] torarne: boot to root recovery mode with networking and use a wired connection (makes life easier). and get updated [14:28] actionparsnip: seems like i'm hitting this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/590963 [14:28] bluebaron_: right click the file, you can configure the default app there I believe [14:28] bobsomebody, ok. so your only problem right now is that the screensaver sync is not actually syncing ? [14:28] actionparsnip: i just rebooted for the third time and now i got the rescue console [14:29] bluebaron_: that open with.. dosent set teh default.. its a one time thing. [14:29] bluebaron_, system > preferences > preferred applications [14:29] bobsomebody, and that previewing any of the linux screensavers does not give you a full screen preview ? [14:29] Dr_Willis, then why is there a checkmark that says "Rember this application for \"AVI Video\" files"? [14:30] bobsomebody, thank you [14:30] no preview works flawlessly and behaves just fine (no flickers, no redraw hiccups) [14:30] bluebaron_, its not a checkmark its a radio box. and do not confuse the fact that it being highlighted means that you have set that entry as the default app. [14:30] bluebaron_: try right clicking and set it that way then. [14:30] airtonix, no you are wrong === rpk is now known as RobKielty [14:30] bluebaron_, you actually have to click on the radiocircle [14:31] airtonix, no it is a checkbox ... i am a developer .. i know the difference .. thank you for playing [14:31] well shit that wasnt good.... my slide out tray just fell off my desk brb 1 sec [14:31] I think he means the 'open with ... other application .... ' gui has a check bo. [14:31] actionparsnip: k, got into root + networking and did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, hopefully that will fix it [14:31] torarne: hope so, updates fix quite a lot [14:31] "anyone know why, when i try to open file with other application, set it as the default application, it goes back to toetem(avi)" [14:31] actionparsnip: thanks for the tip [14:32] bluebaron_, default ubuntu theme has that as a radio selector not a check box. [14:32] torarne: do a dist-upgrade too, will get you kernel updates too :) [14:32] hi everyone, can someone help me with installing my printer? [14:32] bluebaron_, infact i think that regardless of the theme it will always be a radio widget and not a tickbox [14:32] airtonix, a radio button implies there are at least two options ... please stop talking [14:32] actionparsnip: ah, thanks, no used to apt-get [14:32] ok back, holy crap that gave me a heart attack [14:32] devi: what printer [14:32] torarne: its good to use [14:33] a brother dcp135c actionparsnip [14:33] bluebaron_, no you just made a new best friend [14:33] ignored [14:33] devi: brother do linux drivers, head to the brother site [14:34] bluebaron_: iirc it just adds the program to the list of known apps for that file type [14:34] ActionParsnip: I tried that, but what do I do once I downloaded the driver...? [14:34] devi: most times they are debs so install them like any other deb [14:34] sweetpi, ahhh .... yes .. that makes sense [14:34] airtonix, i must admit im about at wits end with this stunt lol [14:35] Actionparsnip: Whats a deb? [14:35] time vs actual coolness factor != worth it [14:35] Actionparsnip, I'm no computer wiz... [14:35] hey, how can I install .deb package i downloaded? [14:35] dpkg -i ? [14:35] devi: ubuntu doesnt expect you to be [14:35] airtonix, but i thank you for your help none the less [14:35] saml: sudo dpkg -i file [14:35] devi: what filename have you downloaded? [14:36] How do I set the default application for avi files? [14:36] ActionParsnip, it fails because i don't have dependencies. [14:36] ActionParsnip, I just saw I doewnloaded 2 times the rpm files.. there r some deb too, should I try that? [14:36] bluebaron_, because i love you : http://imagebin.org/104660 [14:36] !rpm | devi [14:36] devi: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[14:37] hi how do i start memtest from the new ubuntu lucid live cd? [14:37] oohhhhh.... oops! [14:37] !deb | devi [14:37] devi: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.

[14:38] how do i daemonize a process [14:38] erry: sure you just need to enable the partner repo [14:38] airtonix, thank you for showing me how wrong you were ... you didn't read my question ... while that lets me know how to fix my issue, your telling me that i was wrong was wrong because you didn't read the question [14:38] ActionParsnip, which partner repo? [14:38] I have a problem: on ubuntu 10.04 there is not the "services" voice under "system - administration". Someone know something about that ? someone can help me ? [14:38] airtonix, i know u said u dont use screen savers much but if you've ever wanted to get the linux ones over to windows i found this tonight http://www.engr.uvic.ca/~dastone/winxscreensaver/ [14:38] erry: THE partner repo, its in software sources [14:38] oh [14:38] :P [14:38] bluebaron_, ragemoar [14:38] Thanks [14:39] (plus im sure someone will come in here wondering if and how to get them on windows) [14:39] erry: http://www.clickonf5.org/linux/how-install-sun-java-ubuntu-1004-lts/7777 [14:39] lawls @ ragemoar [14:39] bobsomebody, all of them ? [14:39] ActionParsnip, ah, didn't run accross that when googling :P [14:39] erry: try other search engines then.... [14:39] airtonix, the default ones and then some [14:39] bluebaron_: right click on the file and go to properties, click the open with tab and choose the default app [14:39] bobsomebody, goo stuff [14:39] Hi, could somebody explain me what a "sink" on pulseaudio is for and how to create one? [14:39] scroll fail [14:40] yeah i was quite impressed with it myself [14:40] Roy_ i searched it by login in to admin account. it is not there. i try to search under software center no luck. only i found is this run 'service' from terminal [14:40] Sk1nk, its a microphone source. [14:40] How can I stop the network manager in Lucid. "sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop" does not know [14:40] Sk1nk, wait no. [14:40] Actionparsnip: I was already downloading the deb file... it installed and where can i find it now? [14:40] sweetpi, thank you. got it. airtonix had the right place but thought i was already there because he failed to read the question properly [14:40] trijntje: Try "killall nm-applet" === sgevatter is now known as RainCT [14:40] it took some finagaling to get avast to run one of them but it is doable [14:40] bluebaron_, obviously. but don't let me cause your anger to dissipate [14:40] reading comprehension was the issue here [14:41] sgevatter: thanks [14:41] airtonix: I read something about creating a sink for two playbackdevices so pulseaudio playes on both of them on the same time. but i couln't follow the discussion :) [14:41] devi: just run the command I gave and it will install. If you then attatch your printer it may install, if not then run through the printer install wizard and the driver will be in the list [14:41] airtonix, well i'm glad that you admit the issue wasn't with me .. that eases things .. don't pretend i'm stupid next time [14:42] Actionparsnip, ok, then I'll try that :) [14:42] bluebaron_, oh but if you think those two widgets aren't what i called them...lol [14:42] bluebaron_, are you still saying that i wasn't looking at a checkbox? have you still not read my question? [14:43] airtonix, because you said you had .. doesn't make sense what you're saying ... seems as though you spoke falsely [14:43] Roy_, I am on lucid that ie 10.04 [14:44] !tab | Roy_ [14:44] Roy_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[14:44] devi, btw, you can find that downloded .deb file in your /home//Downloads if you have not altered the location [14:44] airtonix, perhaps you need an image bin? [14:45] bluebaron_, ?

[14:51] I ahve looked into gnome userguide I search a little bit in ubuntu community I just need to change the look of left pane on my ubuntu 10.04 notebook edition any ideas [14:52] devi: what brotgher printer? theres some package in the package manager taht you can use. and not need the ones from their site [14:52] Paulo39: then bashrc is the wrong place, it would happen anytime you start a terminal emulation or login (both cases, if you use bash as shell). hmm... do you use the graphical login?

[14:53] Actionparsnip: how do i pastebin again? [14:53] Dr_Willis: I didn't know cups had a web interface......what do I need to access it? I'm guessing apache right?

[14:55] HaDAk: thanks [14:55] hi all. how can I block a partial IP with iptables? like 123.456.* [14:55] bluebaron, lolz [14:55] mo__, i want the script to just start, for example, 2 minutes after the login, is that possible? [14:55] is it possible with iptables? [14:55] Actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/461134/ [14:55] bluebaron, see my imagebin... you will find it entertaining [14:56] Paulo39: sure, use "sleep seconds" to let it wait [14:56] airtonix, i did .. it was ignorant and displayed your reading level for all to see [14:56] devi: the package manager here shows several 'brother' printer driver packages. I dont know what one is for yours [14:56] bluebaron_, oh you sailor boy, making me all hot now [14:57] HaDAk: Sexy web interface [14:57] devi: apt-cache search brother-cups-wrapper shows about 5 packages. You could just install them all. :) I think thats what i did for my Brother laser [14:57] devi: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html grab the link on the RIGHT hand side for your model, that is a deb file. You can then download it and double click it to install [14:57] can someone please have a look http://imagebin.org/104663 and tell me how can I get the old menu back [14:57] how can I remove entries of older kernel versions in the GRUB boot menu? [14:57] airtonix, please concede that you didn't read my question and then you pretended that I was stupid when clearly you failed to remove the mote from thine own eye [14:58] good day, sir [14:58] sakr2008: "old menu"? you installed the netbook stuff and want to have a regular gnome session with desktop and "normal" windows? [14:58] bluebaron, NEVER! [14:58] is that an awn menu? [14:58] mo__, ok, nice. so, for this example, i just need 1 command to run. so i just add the line "sleep 120 rsync -a dir1/ dir2/" to start-up apps or is there any syntaxe wrong in this example?

[15:00] devi: how is it confusing.... [15:01] hey you guys familiar with the bcm wireless drivers? The Ubuntu LiveCD detects both Broadcom STA and Broadcom B43. B43 works with aircrack, STA doesnt. When I installed Ubuntu, however, I'm only given the option of the STA drivers. [15:01] Has anyone got any experience with tinyproxy? [15:01] Actionparsnip: well two people r telling me to do stuff so it was getting a bit much, what do u mean on the RIGHT of my mode3ll? [15:02] devi: there are 2 columns, the left is for RPM files (for redhat / mandriva etc) and the right column is for DEB files (for ubuntu and debian etc) [15:03] DarStar1 I just changed the session GNOME like mo_ said and it worked [15:03] Thanks mo_:) [15:03] Sakr2008: so it's gotta be done at login? thanks [15:04] devi: that deb file will give you the driver you need.

I thought it was qemu but I uninstalled it and kvm still is loaded at every reboot (and conflicts with virtualbox) [15:08] flupke, check if you have kvm installed [15:08] devi: what's teh problem now? [15:09] s3r3n1t7, not installed [15:09] Darkstar1, the website is telling me all these things I have to do and I don't know how to do them, it's gonna take me ages!! [15:10] devi: What are you trying to get done? [15:10] flupke, then manually unload it? Also, just to verify .. aptitude search kvm --- and check if one of those lines starts with an i [15:11] Darkstar1. installed a driver for my printer and now i can#t find the driver and the printer still isn't working [15:11] s3r3n1t7, that's what I do, manually unload it at every reboot ; I'd prefer to remove the package that pulled it in though [15:11] Darkstar1. and all these commands and stuff go way over my head! [15:11] flupke, then verify it is not installed with aptitude. The .so has to come from somewhere. [15:12] flupke, if it truely is not installed, get apt-file and search for the providing packages. [15:12] devi: is it listed in the System>Printing section? [15:12] devi: menu* [15:13] Darkstar1. the printer is but its associated with the wrong driver so it dioesn't work... [15:13] s3r3n1t7, hmm it comes with all kernels, so that must be a package that modified the configuration [15:13] guys [15:13] s3r3n1t7, maybe that's because I didn't --purge when removing qemu [15:13] im having a real terrible time finding a laptop that runs ubuntu properly [15:13] anyone got any suggestions? [15:13] flupke, kvm-qemu isn't there right? [15:13] echosystm, my hp mini 311 works fine. [15:13] hello [15:13] devi: also how did you install said drivers? [15:14] im looking for something with an S7300 upward [15:14] darkstar1: on the brother site for linux..? [15:14] echosystm: what's a S7300?

[15:14] ideally 13-14" [15:14] a cpu DarkStar1 [15:14] flupke, configured but not installed [15:14] SU7300 [15:14] devi: aahh yes.. you're the brother printer dude.. a sec [15:15] anyone have an idea why boxee wont connect? [15:15] s3r3n1t7, oh then I'll try reinstalling and removing it with --purge [15:15] darkstar1. ah no, by adding my printer and just choosing something, cause it didn't list my modell... [15:15] flupke, good luck. let me know how it turns out [15:15] darkstar1. and I'm a woman... hehe [15:16] darkstar1. so now I installed the cupswrapper driver... (i have like 4 drivers by now ha!) but where can i find it to associate it with my printer? [15:16] echosystm: Shit!!! that's a Siement CPU? [15:16] DarkStar1: Please mind your language here. [15:16] intel su7300 [15:17] * DarkStar1 apologises to Pici... [15:17] Pici is a bot, DarkStar1 [15:17] echosystm: Pici is not a bot. [15:18] any idea what the programm is called that allows the nice little ubuntu start screen before logging into X ? [15:18] really? [15:18] hah [15:18] lol [15:18] echosystm: Really really. [15:18] echosystm: ah know... but it's passed that AI test as far as I'm concerned. It's one of us now :) [15:18] lies, Pici *is* a bot [15:18] devi: I'm looking into your problem [15:18] devi: gimme a few mins [15:19] darkstar1, was just about to ask u that hehe... [15:19] hi there: does anyone knows how to make a linux host log through active directory? following i couple of guides had non positive results [15:20] Hi, I'm using rhythmbox and have a bunch of songs that were not tagged (ie, "Unknown Artist", etc.) when I imported them. I then used an external program (picard) to tag the songs, and rhythmbox didin't update the tags in its library. Is it possible to re-import the songs or reload the tags? [15:21] e-DIO-t: log as login? [15:21] s3r3n1t7, that was it, apt-get remove --purge "qemu*" after reinstalling it prevented kvm to load at boot, thanks !

I don't get past settings, I have other options there I think? [15:24] I installed ubuntu server 10.04 64 bit version without ubuntu desktop [15:24] devi: I found this solution from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058838 but with regards to the setting thing I think you add the priinter to your system from the server menu [15:24] darkstar1. I get to basic server settings [15:24] darkstar1 ok, hold on [15:25] I wan't to make a viritual server (port forwarding??) so that if someone access my_ip:4000 then they are routed to a webserver connected to a different interface on my machine, what is this called where do I read up on it?

[15:27] I figured a bad CD or download so I downloaded the iso from releases.ubuntu. Burned again and same problem [15:28] rical: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing#Ubuntu Internet Gateway Method (iptables) <<< you have to tweak the iptables rules to affect only one port [15:28] darkstar1. that was a no :) [15:29] devi: Then I'm guessing you probably weren't paying attention during installation :) [15:30] Hang on I'll go search for the possible locations of installation for it. (Assuming you installed it that is) :P [15:30] hi all, I have downloaded unity desktop, but I don't find where I can open the dock [15:30] darkstar1: hey, it's super hot here! Plus I thought installed stuff just starts working :) [15:30] some could help me?

Now I have no working internet anymore on the machine that does the sharing. Can anyone help me? [15:39] but dont remove the files of diretory? [15:39] luckymurali: change your apt sources to include the cd .. then try the install line I gave you earlier and have the system get it from the cd. [15:39] hey, anyone can help why don't work my floppy drive under 10.04? the BIOS see it.. [15:40] luckymurali: or you can go to packages.ubuntu.com and download the ubuntu-desktop.deb and ALL the dependencies, save them to a USB stick and transfer to the server machine and install the .deb using dpkg -i *.deb [15:40] Izinucs,IdleOne, thanks [15:40] Hi, I'm having some problems changing directories. [15:41] Apparently, cd is missing. [15:41] Gone entirely from /bin [15:41] zip warning: name not matched: [15:41] why? [15:41] What package is it in, so I can reinstall it? [15:41] IdleOne: he mentioned earlier he had no internet [15:41] ujvarosya, do you see it in /dev/? ls -lah /dev/fd* [15:41] #bluzgi [15:41] Audacitor: i was thinking 'cd' is a bash built in [15:41] hmm, xchat crashed on me. sorry if I missed a reply. Downloaded 10.04 twice, 1.torrent 2.http from releases.ubuntu. both cases the CD loads up like a liveCD with no option to install. Login Screen but I don't have the username or pass [15:42] Izinucs: understood but he is on the internet right now :/ [15:42] Audacitor: its a bash-builtin [15:42] Audacitor, it's not a binary [15:42] Audacitor: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bourne-Shell-Builtins.html#Bourne-Shell-Builtins [15:42] Okay, in that case, why can't sudo use it? [15:42] Izinucs: he now has two solutions he can use [15:42] Audacitor: sudo cd, would be useless. [15:42] Audacitor: what are you trying to acomplish [15:42] Audacitor: "sudo cd" makes no sense [15:42] frostburn: yes [15:42] Audacitor: becouse it is not a command [15:42] Audacitor: you have to get a root shell [15:43] !rootshell | Audacitor [15:43] IdleOne: good point.. yep.. multiple solutions are good. [15:43] Audacitor: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [15:43] I need to sudo cd into a directory. [15:43] frostburn: but I can't open it or format.. [15:43] Audacitor: normally you dont need to.. what are you trying to acomplish.. [15:43] Audacitor, no you need a rootshell in a directory [15:43] Audacitor: "sudo -i" then cd into it [15:43] Okay, I'll try that... [15:43] Got it. [15:44] Okay, thanks for the education; I thought they all in a package somewhere. [15:44] frostburn: pastebin.com/XnywKS81 [15:44] Thanks guys. [15:44] could someone please help me with hostnames - i have several ubuntu systems all of them can ping/ssh the others by using hostname.local, and this is automatic without any configuration. i recently set up ubuntu server 10.04 and i can't access it by it's hostname, and it can't access any of the other systems by their hostnames. anyone have any idea on why this might be and how i could get it working? [15:45] * Dr_Willis thinks there needs to be some links to the ubuntu manual, and a shell tutorial on the desktop :) [15:45] ujvarosya, that's not the floppy, it should say /dev/fd0 thats a diff device. i wonder if the floppy disk modules are even included in the kernel [15:45] Izinucs: I believe his issue was more about how to get the packages to the other machine and less about how to get the packages. :) [15:45] IdleOne: you probably right [15:46] * DarkStar1 Comissions Dr_Willis to undertake suggested task [15:46] frostburn: sorry, pastebin.com/xAVWek4Q [15:46] in 10.04 lts server if i want to install the LAMP package grouping post install is there an easy to do that?

[15:54] askhader: after your chatting you last time I upgraded to ubuntu lucid 10.04 [15:54] I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4 [15:54] frostburn: I tried it with msdos and vfat, but it said, that there are errors in filesystem type, or bad superblock..etc [15:54] next question. is it un-realistic to use /srv/www for my http files/virtualhosts? or is it best practice to use the /var/www structure apache puts itself in (even though it doesn't make sense) [15:54] and then downloaded ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run [15:54] but then I figured out double clicking doesnt install it ... so I googled some info [15:54] !ati [15:54] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:54] I found a pdf file how to install it but it failed to do one command in the end [15:55] DDAZZA, there's something wrong with your grub configuration, you may need to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto and manually fix it [15:55] luckymurali: that might work.. perhaps you should do both suggestions so when you attempt it you have a backup [15:55] now I am trying to install with sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/lucid [15:55] Is there a package for perl5.12 I can install?

[15:55] Izinucs, thanks [15:56] ujvarosya, i'm assuming you can load the floppy in another system and it sees data, yes? if it's a linux system do a mount and you should be able to see the filesystem type, or do a fdisk -l [15:56] How to configure Pinnacle PCTV Stereo on Ubuntu Lucid?

[16:13] How did you get to ubuntuguide.org anyway? the bianry driver howto dosent link to it that i see [16:13] this is on lucid (of course) [16:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [16:13] \ [16:13] Dr_Willis: that link was given from smo here ... [16:13] ok anyway I am going to stick to binary url [16:14] slacker-: nv is 2d only. try Nouveau [16:14] erUSUL: yes, that's the one that doesn't work. it installs with nvidia-common and friends right? [16:14] slacker-: really dunno; i use nvidia myself [16:15] Anarchy7: i woudl stick to the guides at help.ubuntu.com [16:15] well, if I delete my xorg.conf it tries loading the nvidia driver, fails and falls back to vesa, which sucks even more [16:15] erUSUL: how did you go about that? [16:16] hey all, how to get the compose key working? i need to enter a unicode char on the keyboard [16:16] any tips? === dilo is now known as maemo [16:16] slacker-: well i am a weird case. i use my custom kernel and the run from nvidia.com- [16:16] ic [16:16] ok Dr_Willis [16:17] openvpn wants certificate and key files to put in the config -- where am i supposed to get those from? [16:17] Anarchy7: and the ubuntu forums. They may have some better info then the guides [16:17] !gpg [16:17] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.

"GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPassword';" [16:18] erUSUL: is the custom kernel required for the nvidia.com drivers? [16:18] Dr_Willis: my card isnt on the list [16:18] 3. Identify whether your ATI graphics card model series is available on pages 2 or 3 of this pdf file.

[16:19] ok guys this may be dumb, but for some reason my googling skills are failing me this morning. in a postfix mail.log the delivery lines contain a chunk like "delays=0.06/0.01/0.28/0.8" and I'd like to know what each of those 4 numbers mean...I assume they are times in seconds, but what four times do they describe?

[16:20] i want use specify parttions (advanced) [16:20] I believe I found a bug in Ubuntu 8.04's Kernel in it's UDP package management. Does anybody have access to two networked computers, one of which runs 8.04 and on 10.04 to see if they can reproduce the issue ? [16:20] How can I find out if my wireless card can function as an Access Point? [16:20] but it say choose root filwsystem [16:21] I have switched from win 7 to ubuntu10.04 and i need to record video with my netbook. Cheese doesnt want to record video for me is there another app i can use? the pics i take with cheese come out great just no video. can anyone help? [16:21] s3r3n1t7: thanks!

I am newby with this. I can't open http://unciclopediaf.tripod.com I normally use that to connect to irc and nothing :S. why? :((( [16:25] I am newby in linux. help please [16:25] s3r3n1t7, http://pastesite.com/17348 [16:25] geirha, it would be my filesystem? [16:25] Kingrem, use xchat [16:25] kingrem, i'd use a built in irc client instead of a web based java program, you'll need to talk to the developers of that app to figure out why its not working [16:26] is that the same deal with cheese? [16:26] i use irssi for IRC [16:26] geirha, what with another partition that i will create? [16:26] !xcaht | kingrem [16:26] :( [16:26] kingrem: provide some details: what changed? What are you trying? What are the errors you get? [16:26] frostburn: it starts working but it freezes [16:26] geirha, just one must set to /? [16:26] what special ubuntu have:) [16:27] oCean_: when it loads it say 'error: connection to lagged' [16:27] I tried from school too [16:27] I have switched from win 7 to ubuntu10.04 and i need to record video with my netbook. Cheese doesnt want to record video for me is there another app i can use? the pics i take with cheese come out great just no video. can anyone help? [16:27] kingrem: so, you are saying this is not an Ubuntu issue?? [16:27] ubuntu: You MUST have a /, yes. If you want a separate for /home, then create a partition, and set its mount point to /home and choose ext4 as filesystem. [16:27] kingrem, use xchat, it's installed in ubuntu [16:28] maemo, google tells me that geirha was correct. It needs on *.* GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'insertpass'; [16:28] oCean_: is ubuntu-java issue [16:28] why should one choose ubuntu :-( [16:28] hi.. after making update [16:28] oCean_: how am I supposed to do that when I didn't set up the server? [16:28] kanhiya: stop the ranting please [16:28] geirha, I don't quite understand, i just want to add a new root and pw. [16:28] kanhiya, one should use it if it meets your operational requirements, otherwise don't [16:28] kanhiya, this is why we should use linux: http://en.windows7sins.org/ [16:29] hi.. after making update, mysql started not to work claiming that socket cannot be found... how can I fix that ? [16:29] because it has the best chat support [16:29] oCean_: and our vpn server doesn't use keys [16:29] MauL^, is mysql running [16:29] crankharder: no keys? What's the point in vpn then? [16:29] ubuntu: You can have as many partitions as you like, but one must have / as mount-point. [16:29] frostburn, I dont think so.. [16:29] it is creating lot of problems for me:'( [16:29] MauL^, start it, and troubleshoot using the mysql logs [16:29] Hi, I'm using rhythmbox and have a bunch of songs that were not tagged (ie, "Unknown Artist", etc.) when I imported them. I then used an external program (picard) to tag the songs, and rhythmbox didin't update the tags in its library. Is it possible to re-import the songs or reload the tags? [16:30] kanhiya: describe your issue detailed to the channel, and have some patience; but STOP ranting please === vincent_ is now known as vinc3nt [16:30] how do I run something as another user? sudo -s nagios doesn't seem to work and su -l nagios does not seem to change my prompt to show nagios@localhost:/# [16:30] anyone here use openvpn on networkmanager?

[16:32] oCean_: on my system it is providing just only resolution up to 800x600 [16:32] maemo, then there is your problem. you can fix your password, restart the server normally, then relogin [16:33] maemo, geirha, unless geirha has a better proposal? [16:33] oCean_: i have tried many pages,wiki,ubuntuforums but no result [16:33] kanhiya: describe your issue (detailed, but on one single line) to the channel, not to me [16:34] hi everone! [16:34] nevermind, i figured out my issue. it is a VirtualBox install, and the path to DNS was blocked so i had to use iptables -L -n [16:35] how to get your graphic card detected properly without configuring X11 [16:35] anybody knows? [16:35] s3r3n1t7: My mysql-knowledge ended at that error message ;) [16:35] kanhiya: totally depends on its chipset. [16:35] kanhiya, explain what steps you have done, what guide you have followed, what does work and what does not. Give all the information you can. _to the channel_ [16:35] kanhiya: for my nvidia. I run the hardware-drivers tool.. click a few times.. reboot.. its done.. takes me about 3 min. [16:36] s3r3n1t7, I'll ask the guys @#msql but thanks though. [16:36] kanhiya: What GPU do you use? [16:36] is anyone getting TERRIBLE performance out of certain core gnome apps (Totem, Rhythmbox, Evince)? It may be related to have they access the file system vs VLC (for example). [16:36] i have SIS mirage 3 graphics and SIS M672 SERIES Chipse [16:36] hi, how do I install alsa? I installed a few packages that had alsa in their name, but alsa doesn't seem to be working [16:36] i owuld like to buy a umts / 3g card which will be a very good one? [16:37] maemo: you should realize that there probably is an existing root user; once you've restarted mysqld in safe_mode, you can reset the password (not using 'grant all...') [16:37] thebishop: my rhytmbox was fine when I used it earlier [16:37] kanhiya: eww.. the Sis Company. is so bad in their linux support. [16:37] DarkStar1, i open mine, and it goes black almost immediately [16:37] i am using a laptop and ubuntu is providing 800x600 resolution [16:37] thebishop: and I have VLC installed on the system also, so I don't see why you should be getting performance issues [16:38] Dr_Willis: what can i do for a laptop? [16:38] thebishop: you mean the gui is troublesome? [16:38] which open source compress format has password option and it has "just store" level (i mean to do not compress) and it is supporting from many softwares (winrar, winzip, 7-zip...) ? (7 zip is good but i can not use it with ubuntu 10.04. [16:38] kanhiya: a quick search of the forums show quite a few other people with issues with that card.

[16:38] hi, someone can tell me how to install bitchx using apt-get? [16:38] kanhiya: Good luck with that GPU. I like to wash my hands clean of their chipset :D [16:39] Darkfoe, it's not a gui problem, apps go back when they're unresponsive [16:39] *black [16:39] windows 7 has this feature where if you drag a window to the top of the screen, it will maximize it, and if you drag a window to the left or right side, it will fill up half the screen allowing you to easily compare two documents side by side. does ubuntu/gnome have anything like this? [16:39] yes but it does not work for ubuntu10.04 [16:39] Spamicles, yes to the maximize feature. no to the side compare, unless there's a compiz plugin i don't have [16:39] maemo: using "grant ...

I tried Googling this error message, and I couldn't get anything to work. Any ideas? [16:49] what shall I write instead of initial ?

[16:49] Agu10: wubi is a kludge where you boot ubuntu out of a loop file on ntfs or fat32 [16:50] aliendude3500: you need to use the 'xhost +XXXXX' command befor you su, to allow the apps access. and perhaps Export the DISPLAY variable.

[19:16] io: bash: ./altitude.sh: Permission denied [19:16] Cube``: the restricted extras package also hauls in a tonne of fonts [19:17] Io: just a friendly fyi ;) [19:17] hwilde, no freak outs [19:17] Idk_: do you own the file and is it marked as executable [19:17] abhi_nav, are you talking about the sessions that I get under login screen? [19:17] ActionParsnip: i just downloaded the file with wget, how do I check chmod on a file? [19:17] :( [19:17] hwilde, within a few seconds I can no longer alt-tab, drag windows, etc [19:18] idk_: Did you "chown user:group "? [19:18] ActionParsnip: what is it called? i mean, the real name of it? [19:18] hwilde, I experienced only the plugging messages and unplugging messages [19:18] Idk: chown $USER:$USER ./file; chmod +x file [19:18] abhi_nav, I currently am on Gnome, I also have term, failsafe and KDE [19:19] amol, you go to your desktop. when all windows are minimized. then you can see on the very top of your desktop a bar is there. on that bar on left side there are three menus called Applications, Places, System. among that go to System then go to Administration there you will find Login screen(gdm2setup) [19:19] Cube``: ubuntu-restricted-extras (assuming you use ubuntu and not kubuntu etc). Will install nice codecs and some fonts [19:19] :'( [19:19] ActionParsnip: man chmod [19:19] ActionParsnip: "user:group". [19:19] ActionParsnip: thanks [19:19] in terminal, maybe i'll help [19:19] io: installing :) I forgot the + on chmod [19:20] fancybit: wassup with my chmod? [19:20] each user is their own group i recall. [19:20] can anyone help me with a startup problem i the power accidentally went off the computer and now everytime i boot up i just get ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode.. [19:20] abhi_nav, I am there., Unlocked it., But I do not get GDM2 [19:20] isn't it chmod user.group, not user:group? [19:20] abhi_nav, phew! [19:20] How do I enable volume control by decibels instead of %; I had this with pulseaudio in 9.10 but now volume is painfully loud at 15% and doesn't change all the way up to 100%. [19:20] Io: yes, the username is also a groupname so $USER:$USER will work [19:20] nikitis: either can work. but ive noticved that with tab completion the : has issues (i think) [19:20] ActionParsnip: No, that is the default but not neccasarily. [19:20] 9.04 so I accepted a recent update and after post I get nothing but a black screen although the monitor is still active . I have no response to mouse or kybd (no cap or num lock) any ideas pls ? [19:21] Dr_Willis, I've always used '.' and never had problems [19:21] I don't know, till now I just find softwares from the apt-install & the gui of it [19:21] hey amol i was disconneted. post your last msg again [19:21] hi vaibhav may I pm you> [19:21] nikitis: try tab completion with long user names. :) i had an issue with . or : - i cant recall which [19:21] Io: it will sort any ownership issues as $USER will be the only user with any access [19:21] multi get maybe faster [19:21] hwilde, any other ideas? Syslog and messages doesn't seem to be freaking out. [19:21] abhi_nav, will be right back [19:22] amol, yes? [19:22] ActionParsnip: chmod uses "user:group", just because Ubuntu creates a group with a users username doesn't mean that it will be the case on all setups. [19:22] nikitis, so the only problem is the mouse and keyboard freeze? try plugging just the mouse with no other mouse or kb. [19:22] anybody here familiar with pulseaudio volume control and how to make it adjust by decibels instead of by % [19:22] I'm finding all kinds of reference to a black screen AFTER boot-splash or login but none after post ... so far [19:22] hwilde, the keyboard doesn't freeze, it works still if terminal was targeted or something where I could type [19:22] Anyone know about DEB packages? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9568827#post9568827 [19:22] Gnome itself stops to function [19:22] abhi_nav, I'm in GDM2 [19:23] abhi_nav, where do I go from here? [19:23] hi [19:23] Io: tru but the user is trying to execute the file so the command gives outright access to the one user, it may help but certainly isn't a bad thing in this case [19:23] hwilde, when booting, I got ext4_read errors. Where it couldn't read inodes while this thing was plugged in [19:23] nikitis, that is bogus. [19:23] amol, there should be option to change login screen [19:23] If I update one machine, than rsync the contents of /var/cache/apt to a bunch of others, will that keep the other machines from needing to download those updates from the internet? [19:24] hwilde, this new mouse has 4 dps settings that can change by the press of a button [19:24] amol, and now I am not abhi_nav i am abhi_nav_ :P [19:24] Kyle__, use aptoncd instead [19:24] hwilde, DPI* [19:24] !aptoncd | Kyle__ [19:24] Kyle__: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [19:24] abhi_nav, found it! [19:24] Kyle__: if you are going to do that a lot on a lan. set up one machine as the 'apt-cacher' to cache the packages for teh whole lan [19:24] abhi_nav, thanks a ton :) [19:24] amol, good :) [19:24] amol, now come in pm [19:24] !info apt-cache [19:24] Package apt-cache does not exist in lucid [19:24] hwilde, and the mouse works, but i can't drag windows etc. Right clicking sometimes works [19:25] the apt-cacher idea sounds better... for routine updates === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [19:25] kop: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [19:25] !info apt-cacheer-ng [19:25] Dr_Willis: Have a link that describes setting up an atp-cacher?

In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.6-1 (lucid), package size 289 kB, installed size 780 kB [19:25] Oooh, nice [19:25] Kyle__: other then google.. No :) [19:25] * Kyle__ tosses ubottu a cookie. [19:25] Dr_Willis: but now I know just what to look for. [19:25] !cookie | Kyle__ [19:25] Kyle__: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [19:26] Kyle__: only issue is that cache machine has to be on all the time. :) [19:26] Hehe [19:26] ActionParsnip, well see how that applies to 9.04 tnx I'll let you know [19:26] Dr_Willis: That's OK, most of these will be anyway, they're going to be running glusterfs. [19:26] Kop: keep backups of changed files. You can rollback then [19:27] * ActionParsnip should be a change manager [19:27] anyone have any other ideas about why my mouse would freeze up gnome and cause ext4 read errors when plugged in? [19:27] somebody can help a install Pygame in my Ubuntu? [19:27] nikitis: some random udev bug? [19:27] i don´t know what i made wrong but don´t install [19:27] i don´t get a module [19:27] How can I install vim-gtk and vim-nox, but keep vim-nox as default? At the moment, I'd need to call update-alternatives --config a dozen or so times to change vim/vimdiff/eview/etc back to /usr/bin/vim.nox [19:28] i already search for the module in my folders but a don´t find [19:28] aeon-ltd, how could I find out? [19:28] nikitis: is the mouse ok in other systems? Try a different port [19:28] nikitis: you can't really besides logs [19:28] ActionParsnip, in windows this mouse works fine on the same box, and I've tried on 4 ports already [19:28] Ok, so I don't even think I'm asking the right question, so feel free to point me in a diffrent direction. I want a script to run, after the install of ubuntu is complete and it boots for the first time. Can someone point me in the direction of what I'm looking for? [19:28] nikitis: if you are using an external usb hub. Try without the hub [19:28] Where is the xorg.conf in 10.01 [19:29] ActionParsnip, no hubs [19:29] ActionParsnip, ok off to my desktop cd . I may have to drop the SBGrub boot disk on it as I don't think it sees the cd after post . its real fubar . back l8r [19:29] coreyman: doesn't ship with one but can be generated with: sudo Xorg --configure [19:29] ActionParsnip, syslogs, messages don't go crazy or anything while plugged in, but I do see adverse effects in gnome [19:29] electronoob: On first boot only, or on every boot? [19:29] first boot only [19:30] electronoob, what does the script do? [19:31] electronoob: So you're making a custom install image... Umm... Humm. I know RHEL has a firstboot package for that... maybe if you look at the ubuntu OEM install? That may be the way... [19:31] coreyman: there isn't one till you generate one [19:31] Configures apache the way I would like it to, and install a web app. [19:31] * Kyle__ sighs. [19:32] aeon-ltd with sudo Xorg -configure ? [19:32] With all the improvements made in hardware, faster cars, faster computers, faster cellphones... you'd think they'd find a way to make a pot of coffee in less than 6 minutes. [19:32] Thank you Kyle__ [19:32] Or microwave a pizza like on Back to the Future 2 [19:32] electronoob: Sorry I coudln't help more. [19:32] nikitis: Yea, exactly! [19:32] coreyman: yeah pretty much [19:33] I'm closer than I was before :) [19:33] Or the chicken-rehydrator in fifth element.

[19:35] nikitis: Not being an expert here, but I'd say you've got hardware troubles. Check your logs, see if it's complaining about the mouse drawing too much power.

[19:40] aeon-ltd: http://pastebin.com/NhAmUgvg [19:40] yes, one does have recommended, but they both say proprietary, and one says version current, does tha mean: a) that a nvidia driver is already installed? and b) that it's current? (how do i find out what version is installed, since it only say version current) [19:40] Kyle__, this mouse is also good because you can change the shape of the mouse. the shape is very flexible to fit anyones hands [19:40] nikitis: Ahh. I only play games on my PS3 nowdays. Except for the really CPU/Graphically intense ones, like nethack. I play that on the computer.

[19:55] gizmobay, gimme a sec i think it is available [19:56] Dr_Willis: SO what does the automounting? [19:56] thanks [19:56] EnterUserName: some gnome services I think. [19:56] Is there a link on how to disable usb automounting in the new gnome services? [19:56] ive tried everything [19:56] i even tried making my own udev rule that autoamtically unmounts it [19:57] shikhark: a sec [19:57] DarkStar1, sure :) [19:57] i just need it for storage devices [19:57] gizmobay, this one worked for me before http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=415641 [19:57] the first one that is [19:58] Ȍigraff, [19:58] shikhark: Sorry had to go somewhere [19:58] hm [19:58] EnterUserName: I was thinking ntfs-config tool tweaked some of those settings [19:58] shikhark: so when you select Awesome at the login screen it still boots you into gnome? [19:59] hello, i have a little problem i was hoping someone could help me with: i have a mac os x formatted drive that I have now stuck in my new desktop and i need to get some files off of it before i erase it, but somehow one of the folders i need i don't have permissions for. is there any way to change this to copy the files off the drive? [19:59] ok ill look at it [19:59] xingped_: i think linux can read hfs/hfs+ but may not beable to write. [19:59] !hfs | xingped_ [19:59] xingped_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:59] read only [19:59] How can I install vim-gtk and vim-nox, but keep vim-nox as default? At the moment, I'd need to call update-alternatives --config a dozen or so times to change vim/vimdiff/eview/etc back to /usr/bin/vim.nox [19:59] DarkStar1, yes, exactly [19:59] !FUSE [19:59] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [19:59] yeah, i've been able to read almost all the files, but one folder i need is locked up somehow and i can't read anything in that folder [20:00] hello can some one tell me a proper way of mounting an external usb hard disk inside a chroot environment? [20:00] did linux read mac os X partitions? [20:00] judgen, thanks. Did you have to compile? [20:00] kk_hacker: you could mount it to some location befor you chroot. Or if you are going to do it in teh chroot. You need to set up /dev/ properly I belive [20:00] wcs: i can read, but not write, but it's just one folder I'm completely locked out of [20:01] Can someone help me genereate an xorg.conf? [20:01] i am suddenly getting this message on many Lucid workstations: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/ [20:01] There is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 [20:01] i haven't updated..seems to be spontaneous [20:01] im trying to make an automount of a partition using /etc/fstab, but it doesnt work [20:01] i says failed to mount on /media [20:01] kk_hacker: with a command like --> mount -o bind /dev /mnt/chrootroot/dev [20:01] EnterUserName, open in terminal > gconf-editor , and look for the key > /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount [20:01] Cube``: typo in the fstab line perhaps? paste the line. [20:01] Dr_Willis: well my real need is that I have a local Ubuntu repo created using deb mirror. the whole thing is on an external hdd. I am remastering Ubuntu and after chrooting into the unpacked iso, I want to use this local mirror. [20:02] anyone know of a good method for anonymizing web access from linux/ubuntu ? [20:02] Dr_Willis: haha no kidding man i think it really was a typo. fixed it, now trying again [20:02] ddlinger: use a proxy [20:02] anyone know how i can not record my bookmarks in Ubuntu Mozilla Firefox? [20:02] how do i get more languages for the dictionaries? you know, the ones that spell-checks empathy, xchat, etc... [20:02] kk_hacker: theres like 3 commands i recall needing to set up a proper chroot. i just gogoled and saw them mentioned here -> http://www.debianhelp.org/node/11558 [20:03] In the Firefox i just mark the opt buttons for not record [20:03] wcs: how do you find proxys though? my understanding is proxys generally arn't about for use by the general public [20:03] but in the Firefox Ubuntu i don´t get [20:03] nevermind, i found the location of xorg.conf it is in a different spot and named differently [20:03] shikhark: Sorry comp suddenly shut down [20:03] kk_hacker: its the info for the dev proc and sysfs. But those all might not be needed these days. its been a whild since ive done chroot work [20:03] DarkStar1, not at all, thanks for helping [20:03] does ubuntu keep shutdown logs I can inspect? [20:03] hi all [20:03] Dr_Willis: thanks a lot I will try mounting with the method you suggested, although the bind seems most sensible [20:03] I need to know why it just suddenly shutdown [20:04] someone already installed a safenet ikey 4000 token at ubuntu? [20:04] anyone??? [20:05] Dr_Willis: can you come on a private chat please? actually I am a blind person using a screen reader. naturally it does not cope up with tuns of msgs coming in and I some times loos an important one. [20:05] Hello everybody [20:05] kk_hacker: i may have to run at a moments Notice. I am babysitting. That web site i gave basically is my whole knowledge on chrooting. [20:05] Dr_Willis: I for example missed out the mount -o syntax [20:06] DarkStar1, how I do retrieve those logs? [20:06] I have a problem with a cnr-wcam43sp under ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. its not working correctly.

[20:11] can anyone help me with a startup problem i the power accidentally went off the computer and now everytime i boot up i just get ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode.. [20:12] HI. On my asus eee most media buttons don't work. They don't even give a response in xev. is it a problem with the keyboard in xorg ? [20:12] Where has the gnome volume control applet gone in Lucid? [20:12] Dr_Willis: thanks [20:12] does anyone have a recommendation for a good rss reader? [20:12] Ubuntu newb here - I installed Ubuntu on my machine alongside Vista - when I try to boot Vista, is goes straight to recovery, but it doesn't give any details on the problem. Any advice? [20:12] yuer: ticketsystem? There are many webbased helpdesk solutions and/or bugtrackers [20:12] i had problem with gnome-terminal, its getting close immediately , what might be the reason, ALT+F2 followed with xterm command is working ? whatz wrong with gnome-termianl ? [20:12] hh:dd:mm linux op [20:12] quidnunc: Try right clicking the toolbar and add to toolbar something along the lines of notifications. [20:12] DarkStar1, site? [20:13] yy. [20:13] alternatively: can anyone troubleshoot my 3G-(not-)connection? [20:13] prodcutnews: i had that happen when i had a disk/filesystem error and / got mounted read only. [20:13] prodcutnews: in the xterm, check the output of the 'mount' command [20:13] prodcutnews: so you can start xterm? What happens when you start "gnome-terminal" from xterm? Any error messages? [20:13] shikhark: like a site that's dedicated to the Awesome shell development so I can look up information on it [20:13] quidnunc: it has been moved to the indicator applet, although the old one is still available [20:13] Maletor: I don't see anything [20:14] shikhark: I know nothing about Awesome so I need to look it up [20:14] Hi [20:14] trism: It's not there for me. Only the e-mail indicator. [20:14] DarkStar1: awesome.naquadah.org [20:14] quidnunc: do you have indicator-sound installed?

[20:15] trism: No. I didn't. I installed it now. I guess I have to logout for it to take effect? [20:15] quidnunc: worst case, you can add gnome-volume-control-applet back to System/Preferences/Startup Applications, and you will get the one in the notificiation area from previous versions [20:15] in lucid... [20:15] Quidnunc? Loquerisne Latine? [20:15] quidnunc: yes [20:16] Dr_Willis: just wanted to know if mount -o bind dev is the proper command? [20:16] nikolaos: No, I don't sorry. I just came across the word and I enjoyed it. [20:16] Ah, okay :P [20:16] Dr_Willis: what does it exactly do? will it associate my /dev with some thing in the chroot?

[20:17] nobody's had any issues with php+pgsql in lucid? === patrick is now known as PatrickBic [20:17] Sorry to repeat my question, just being sure that it doesn't get buried: Ubuntu newb here - I installed Ubuntu on my machine alongside Vista - when I try to boot Vista, is goes straight to recovery, but it doesn't give any details on the problem. Any advice? [20:17] bergLNX let me just set-it up now, I have a fresh instal [20:17] l [20:18] nikolaos: How is that related to Ubuntu?

[20:21] How do I share my wireless connection to my desktop using ethernet? [20:21] shikhark: From what I've read Awesome works with your window manager so there's nothing wrong at the moment [20:21] shikhark: check out: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome [20:21] io, thx [20:21] shikhark: brb gonna get some grub [20:21] berLNX: I think i had to authorize it with facebook the first time [20:21] your profile settings for firefox will be in your home directory .mozilla/firefox [20:21] DarkStar1, sure, and thanks loads for your help [20:21] !ICS | arleslie [20:21] arleslie: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [20:22] bergLNX: can you connect to facebook without going through gwibber? [20:22] nikolaos: From the line io provided: "Service Pack1 and earlier may need to be resized from inside Vista as it sometimes stops you from being able to boot into Vista at all otherwise. There is a guide on how to recover from this but i cannot find it right now. " [20:22] subuntu: Read that website if you think it is Ubuntu related, if that does not help then tell us the output of "lspci -v | less" or "lsusb" if it is a USB device. [20:22] imetaphysikz: yeah [20:22] bergLNX: I also have twitter, set up now - working [20:23] imetaphysikz: "gwibbler cant connect to facebook at this time" is what i get before it freezes [20:23] io: I'm sure that I'm loading the right partition, but I did have suspicions that GRUB could be part of the problem. Is there a way to go back to the default Windows bootloader? [20:23] subuntu: I doubt the issue is on the router side, to be honest. [20:23] realubot: I believe that I have Service Pack 2, let be just double check [20:23] imetaphysikz: hmmm... do you log in with username or email? [20:23] hi all. i tried sharing my internet connection (mobile broadband) via wifi and it worked when i tried browsing through the wifi on my ipod but it didnt work on a windows machine even after connecting the wifi. did i do something wrong or does it not work for non unix based machines?

I'll leave the chat open just in case I need it, but I think what you have told me might be enough [20:29] hi, anyone have a solution to fix phpMyAdmin inactivity timeout problem (where it keeps on asking for a user login)? Actually, I wouldn't mind bypassing that and phpMyAdmin NEVER asking me to login (since this is a dev env box) [20:29] Hi all. Does somebody know how to force Rhythmbox to play stream webradios?

[20:36] hi - has there been any news about ubuntu on mac pro (last few times I've tried it has been a failure) [20:37] guest122343: the macs use intel chips but some other (EFI?) bios, so the process is nit identical to having a normal pc. But Its close to the same. [20:37] nikolaos: This seem to be excactly you kind of problem: "grub shouldn't touch vista but if you resized your vista partition with GParted (in the installer) it might have affected the vista settings. it's possible GRUB is trying to boot to the recovery partition rather than the real Vista partition. unfortunately without some kind of partition list, i can't really say..." === pete_ is now known as Guest90793 [20:37] bergLNX: I don't know what to suggest other than ensuring your login credentials works on twitter [20:38] Realubot - Okay, will do [20:38] hi, can you install ubuntu onto a ntfs drive? [20:38] P67: Dr_Willis: Hmm, so what happens if I just try to install ubuntu with the normal CD? [20:38] Guest90793: What Mac is it? [20:38] Dr_Willis: It's possible to install an EFI extension via the Mac interface called rEFIt. Using that you can install anything you like [20:38] bergLNX: then re-entering it in gwibber [20:38] DarkStar1> Thanks ... reading ... [20:38] which os is better: Puppy,Ubuntu,DSL,win 7? [20:38] nikolaos: "That happens when Vista gets corrupted by resizing with anything other than it's own partitioning tools." [20:38] P67: I plan on never buying a mac. :) so i will never know. [20:38] guest122343: nothing happens as it is normally a not supported OS to boot form EFI [20:38] I_iz_nuts[o_0]: it all depends on your needsx and pc specs. [20:38] hi, can you install ubuntu onto a ntfs drive? [20:38] hylian: it is in the partner repo [20:39] I_iz_nuts[o_0]: You're in the Ubuntu support channel, obviously the majority of users here use Ubuntu. [20:39] !partner | hylian [20:39] hylian: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [20:39] can you install ubuntu onto a ntfs drive? [20:39] alextybob: wubi can install ubuntu 'inside' windows. but thats not quite the same. So i would say 'no' to your question. [20:39] i'm using ubuntu live usb at the moment [20:39] and i want to install it fully from ubuntu [20:39] P67: Ok, so it would leave me with an unsusable machine. Good to know. Thanks! [20:39] alextybob:yes i'm pretty sure you can [20:39] I_iz_nuts[o_0]: On the other hand, it depends on your requirements (how freequent you require updates and support) as well as machine specifications, maybe ##linux is better suited for your question? [20:39] imetaphysikz: hehe, yeah, everything is correct but nothing works :/ oh well [20:39] alextybob: you want to resize the windows aprittions then. windows can resize them also. and may be faster at the task then the ubuntu installer. [20:40] guest122343: What Mac is it? [20:40] alextybob: in any case. You proberly want to backup anything imporntant First. befor installing [20:40] realubot - here's the "fdisk -l" output - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MbSrn8Yp [20:40] thank you doctor, trism and ubottu! [20:40] nikolaos: I think you may have to repair the Vista installation if you resized the Vista partition wihout using it's own tools: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/ [20:40] nikolaos: thats a windows 7 setup? [20:40] io: None, sortof. I was looking to buy a macbook, maybe. [20:41] Dr_Willis - Vista [20:41] IO:well ya! Im not ASKING if you USE the os,im asking WHY it is better [20:41] or not [20:41] guest122343: No it won't leave you with an unusable machine. I suggst you check out rEFIt either way. It's a nice thing really. You can still boot MacOSX. You just gain an other sort of "boot loader" at the start to choose to go through to MacOSX' bootloader or load ubuntu on an other partition [20:41] guest122343: You were looking to buy a MacBook to run a single-OS of Ubuntu on it? :-) [20:41] i don't care about booting from windows so i don't need to make a partition i just want to know if you can install ubuntu from a usb without formatting === toby is now known as Guest71270 [20:41] nikolaos: Hmm. i wonder if that first partition 'unknown' is the restore partition. Ive seen them in differnt places [20:41] I_iz_nuts[o_0]: Instead of reading the website? [20:41] nikolaos: have you tried to go thorugh the recovery in Vista? maybe you will have to repair the Vista installation because GParted somehow destroyed the Vista system. [20:41] realubot - the other file doesn't work in my command prompt [20:41] I_iz_nuts[o_0]: this is more a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic. could you take it there please? [20:41] guest122343: I however suggest you don't use a macbook for ubuntu. As MacOSX (imho ;)) is a better OS [20:41] io: yes. I hate mac [20:42] alextybob: alextybob install where? You install to a 'partition' doing a normal install you resize your existing partitions or use unallocated space. a WUBI install 'installs' to a file on the windows drive. [20:42] Under power settings it says "Spin down hard disks when possible". Isn't that a bit vague? How long will it wait? Mine's still spinning after about 15 minutes... [20:42] guest122343: Why would you fork out $2,000+ for MacBook when you are not going to utilize their OS? [20:42] nikolaos: Ok, nevermind, but I think it seem like your vista installation got hurt by the resizing using gParted. [20:42] * P67 sobs at all the mac haters :( He obviously loves the macports and autoconf/make :) [20:42] ok [20:42] Dr_Willis - Not sure, I can check to see what is in that folder [20:42] Guest71270: I only notice my usb hard drives spinning down. I never seen my / spin down. [20:42] io: Its a nice piece of hardware, for the most part [20:43] nikolaos: You should use the Vista tool for resizing what I can understand. I suggest reapiring the Vista installtion using recover option then it may work again. [20:43] is there a program for a wubi install off of ubuntu live usb? [20:43] nikolaos: you could try booting each of the other partitions to see what ones are what. :) [20:43] Realubot - I might go ahead and do the restore process - is there a risk of losing Ubuntu when I do that? [20:43] alextybob: wubi is on the cd.. i dont reccomend usiong wubi however. ifyou want to test out ubuntu. try it in Virtualbox [20:43] guest122343: You said Mac Pro earlier, you meant MacBook Pro? In that case it _runs_, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro. [20:43] i can't find it [20:43] alextybob: to do wubi. boot to windows. Pop in cd.. [20:43] i'm using ubuntu at the moment off of a live usb [20:43] guest122343: I run Ubuntu on a Mac machine and it works reasonably well. [20:43] Dr_Willis - possibly, I might try that before going to far [20:43] anybody know if samba needs authentication in conf files when accessing windows shares, or does authentication occur upon mount? [20:44] nikolaos: Read this, I find that interesting: [20:44] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/ [20:44] alextybob: wubi runs in windows.. [20:44] io: Well, I didn't say pro, but I'll take a look at that page [20:44] realubot - Okay [20:44] i can't boot in windows it's broken [20:44] nikolaos: its gotten where I just buy a new HD for any new machine.. to keep the windows 'hd' unbothered. :) [20:44] when intergrated with AD [20:44] alextybob: Then you do a normal ubuntu install then I guess if you want ubuntu. [20:44] Dr_Willis: This is a secondary HD connected via PATA. I can spin it down manually with hdparm, but the gui option doesnt' seem to do much [20:44] but i don't want to format [20:45] and i'm not getting the side by side option [20:45] alextybob: you RESIZE ... your use of the term 'format' is vague. [20:45] nikolaos: They repair the Vista installation after they have resized the partition using gParted. You may have to do that too. [20:45] alextybob: you will ahve several different partitions on teh HD. one for windows, and a few for Linux. [20:45] ok [20:45] <_2> current code name ? [20:45] alextybob: (windows) (linuix) (linux swap) [20:45] alextybob: so it will also depend on yoru current hard drive layout [20:46] <_2> anyone ? [20:46] anyone want to remote desktop to my computer [20:46] guest122343: It seems you didn't, sorry I misread. [20:46] alextybob, if windows is broken, fix it first and then insert usb live stick, wubi installer will be available [20:46] !lucid | _2 [20:46] _2: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [20:46] _2: Is that what you meant? [20:46] i want to use ubuntu though [20:46] nikolaos: I dont say that you shall resize using gParted, only repair Vista like they do because you have already resized the Vista partition using gParted I think. [20:46] alextybob: you can also install ubuntu onto a flash drive if you wanted to. and have a normal install on a flash drive, or exteranl usb hd. [20:46] <_2> yes ty [20:46] _2: No problem. :-) [20:46] how does one check the supported file systems? (10.04) [20:47] realubot & Dr_Willis - Thanks for your input. I'll do what I can, and I'll be back here to let you know how it turns out [20:47] alextybob: pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to show us your current hard drive layoput [20:47] can you install it onto a flash disk that you have also booted from? [20:47] can anyone troubleshoot my 3G-(not-)connection? All I get is "Disconnected - you are now offline." I deleted the connection. set it up anew. I rebooted. I used various providers - and yes I have coverage where I am right now. [20:47] io: Don't worry, this channel has an insane amount of people, and guest is probably a pretty common one. [20:47] alextybob: No. You can install to a different flash drive. or use a cd. and isntall to a flash drive [20:47] guest122343: No doubt. :-) [20:48] nikolaos: yes, give it a try. Good luck! [20:48] i am using a net book so i don't have a cd drive so a usb is all i got [20:48] alextybob: you can even setup your 'live' cd flash drive setup with a persistant save/home file to save changes.. thats almost as good as a normal install.. almost [20:48] but i have 2 usbs [20:48] You have 2 flash drives you mean? [20:48] how to set custom icon in ubuntu-netbook-edition, just installed gimp and it's icon not looks nice among others [20:49] alextybob: I have run into problems booting from flash drives less than 2GB so if you have the possibility, try to use at least 2GB flash drive. The problem occured trying to boot Ubuntu using a 1GB flash drive at my Acer Aspire One netbook. [20:49] Xorg -configure is failing, can anyone help? [20:50] I installed ubuntu on a USB thumb drive, then booted it on a friend's computer, the screen went black. what is wrong? it boots fine on my computer. [20:50] #join ubuntu-es [20:51] how to change icons in ubuntu-netbook? [20:51] <_2> any chance that an old linux hand can upgrade from dapper to lucid in one jump, with apt? [20:51] _2: no [20:51] _2:no way [20:51] _2: i would be suprised at taht working. :) [20:52] aretrfre34: install an icon theme¿¿ modify your icon theme¿¿ [20:52] yeah i have 2 2gb flash drives :) [20:52] _2: How are you so far behind? :-) [20:52] xangua:no, gimp icons looks crappy on desktop [20:52] <_2> Dr_Willis it's the only chance i have at getting there on this box... so it's either stay with dapper or try it... [20:52] alextybob: if you use the usb-creator tool. and the ubuntu iso file. You can make one have a persistant save file on it. and save changes. but 2gb is going to be very tiny [20:52] <_2> io behind what ? :) [20:53] _2: Releases? [20:53] _2: move hd to another machine.. install.. put it back.. [20:53] could i put the save file on the hard drive on the computer and get the flash drive to use that? [20:53] alextybob: i dont think it works that way [20:53] can you get it to? [20:53] <_2> Dr_Willis other machine is 40 miles near [20:54] aretrfre34:hello [20:54] anyone uses netbook edition? [20:55] chadi: Try to boot your own computer using the same flash drive. The flash drive may have been wrongly created. Sometimes I must recreate a flash drive to make it work as it should booting Ubuntu. [20:55] _2: I see a long drive in your future. :) [20:55] <_2> io like i said behind what... :) but, to actually answer, it's simple. i don't like to play the "has to be current" game. i don't have the bandwidth to play that game. i only use LTS releases... and last but not least, if it aint broke don't fix it. [20:55] where do i find the usb creator tool Dr_Willis? [20:55] <_2> Dr_Willis heh. probably [20:55] I am trying to do an online help chat (Time warner internet), and it says I need Windows+IE or OS10 or higher. Is there a way I can trick them? [20:55] alextybob: its un the menus system -> admin -> [20:56] what is its actual name? [20:56] realubot: yeah, it worked fine [20:56] alex__c2022, USB Disk creator [20:56] alextybob, , USB Disk creator [20:56] alextybob: the liogically named 'usb disk creator' [20:56] chadi: I have had the problem severl times. One time it was due to a graphics setting in BIOS (a "Vista thing") and other times I think it has to du with the graphics card of the computer you are trying to boot into. [20:56] alextybob: did you even look befor asking? :) [20:56] realubot: one more point, my friend's laptop is very recent, could it be some new drivers? [20:57] i haven't got that anywhere [20:57] alextybob: and what version of ubuntu are you using? [20:57] who knows how to change icons in ubuntu-netbook? [20:57] realubot: is it a USB-related thing, or would the same behavior occur with a live cd? [20:57] any mysql guru's available to tell me a way in a bash script to check if a database exists. if it doesn't exis then create it [20:58] evening guys [20:58] chadi: Yes, it problably could. I hav ehad problems getting Ubuntu to work on a very new laptop, but I don't really know what the problem is. You could of course google the laptop model and Ubuntu problem. Some other persons may have had the same problem as you do [20:58] i'm using version 10.04 [20:58] chadi: What is the model of the laptop? [20:58] chadi: with 'very new' laptops ive also had issues.. but normally they get fixed by the next release. [20:58] realubot: thank you :) it's a new toshiba [20:58] I am trying to do an online help chat (Time warner internet), and it says I need Windows+IE or OS10 or higher. Is there a way I can trick them? [20:58] !hi | justifier [20:58] justifier: 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! [20:59] alextybob: then somthign is weird. as far as i kniow that tool is on the live cd's ive used. [20:59] realubot: but I don't know the exact model cause the laptop isn't mine and I don't have it right now [20:59] chadi: You could try to boot from another USB port. I suppose the computer has got more than one USB-port. Try another one just to be sure. [20:59] alextybob: you could run it from terminal -> gksudo usb-creator-gtk [20:59] realubot: good point, haven't thought of it [20:59] if i download the iso can i install it that way from ubuntu onto a usb? [20:59] mikebot: tried user agent switcher plugin ? [20:59] alextybob: that tool MUST have an iso file to use. [21:00] realubot:how to change icons in ubuntu-netbook to custom ones [21:00] slinker1: No, how do I do that? [21:00] I asked this earlier but got no response; does ubuntu log shutdowns and their causes? [21:00] alextybob: how did you make a bootable usb flash drive to begin with? [21:00] <_2> E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages (1) [21:00] slinker1: I'm currently using chrome... is that a browser plugin? [21:00] i used unetbootini [21:00] chadi: It may be due to the USB ports. A friend had a laptop that didn't handla his cam but the cam worked just fine at my computer using the exactly same version of Ubuntu and the cam worked on his computer using Windows. [21:00] <_2> first problem ^ [21:00] aretrfre34: Do you want to change all icons? [21:01] alextybob: check the pendrivelinux site. they have some guides on converting a unetbootin 'setup' to a persistant save setup. But with a 2gb flash drive. You wont have much space to save anything [21:01] realubot:no just one [21:01] i am trying to route port 8025 to 25 using iptables http://www.pastebin.org/387766 is what i am getting [21:01] * Dr_Willis wishes unetbootin would add that 'persistant save' feature. [21:01] i have an ntfs hard drive that ubuntu recognises so it's cool [21:01] mikebot: do they want IE on the Mac as well? [21:01] <_2> io Dr_Willis does that look normal, or system wrecking ? [21:01] realubot: great, will try all these suggestions as soon as I get my hands on this laptop again :D [21:01] _2: no idea. I normally do clean reinstalls. :) [21:02] <_2> E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages (1) [21:02] * DarkStar1 wonders if anyone noticed his plea [21:02] aretrfre34: Ok, I don't really know but I think all icons are stored somewhere like in .icons or something. Find the directory conataining icons and you may be able to replace them amnually. [21:02] *manually [21:02] DarkStar1: not that ive ever noticed. [21:02] mikebot: OK, it's useless and will not work on anything except Windows. "If you have difficulty installing the chat controls, please check your ActiveX security settings." [21:02] <_2> that from apt-get update so it's already telling me there is a change in archive foo [21:02] mneptok: https://supportcenter.timewarnercable.com/sdcxuser/lachat/user/minimumreqs.asp [21:02] DarkStar1: you could ssh in from a different box and watch the dmesg /var/log/messages amd see what it says when it crashes [21:03] chadi: I don't if it does work but it may be worth a try at least. The booting problem be due to a lot of things I think. [21:03] mneptok: So I can't use it? [21:03] mikebot: oh its a plugin for firfox [21:03] mikebot: https://www.timewarnercable.com/corporate/support/chat/chat.ashx [21:03] Hello, can anyone here help me with plymouth? I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers(253?), and on linux mint the boot screen doesnt look quite right and I sometimes boot into low graphics mode. On Kubuntu it loads fine but I only see the splash screen for a few seconds, the rest of the time everything's black [21:03] Dr_Willis: Thanks. It didn't crash it just suddenly shutdown (Not switch off) [21:03] yeah [21:03] chadi: Maybe you shall try booting a Live CD from cdrom too just to be sure. [21:03] mikebot: just phone them [21:04] realubot: will do :) thank you [21:04] Melodist: we do not support Mint here [21:04] The partition that boots into low graphics mode is running gnome [21:04] chadi: If neither USB or CD works then I think it has do to the graphics card or the setting of it in BIOS. [21:04] is there a way to adjust the audio offset in totem? [21:04] !mintsupport | Melodist [21:04] Melodist: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:04] mikebot: works with firefox and useragent switchser set to ie 7 [21:04] Dr_Willis sorry for being so useless but can you try and find me the tutorial as i can't find it anywhere [21:05] chadi: There are also a lot of possibilities to change the way Ubuntu shall boot from the Live CD menu, but I don't really know the options. You can't set some different options at te Live Cd menu that change how Ubuntu Live shall try to boot. [21:05] I've asked in linux mint, and there were solutions but none of them worked for me; that's why i thought i'd ask here. the problem isn't linux mint's anyway, it's plymouth [21:05] mneptok: Haha, I hate waiting [21:05] alextybob: Not really. I have now been up for 22+ hrs.. so am ready to go to bed. [21:05] slinker1: Thanks! [21:05] But ah well, all right then [21:05] alextybob: what are you even going to do once you have a persistant save/setup? 2gb is going to be to small to do much of anything. [21:05] fair enough man [21:06] can anyone help with getting files saved during a live usb session? [21:06] nothing much really [21:06] just peruse the internet [21:06] nothing major === jeff_ is now known as Guest9025 [21:06] alextybob: id say a 4gb flash drive min.. 8gb for a useable setup. [21:06] alextybob: the basics of it is basically just making a casperrw file on the root of the pendrive. and edit the proper syslinuxcfg file. but that may be over your head. :) [21:07] yeah, a little bit [21:07] alextybob: there are tools for windows that can do the setup if you got a windows box + tjhe iso file. [21:07] can anyone troubleshoot my 3G-(not-)connection? All I get is "Disconnected - you are now offline." I deleted the connection. set it up anew. I rebooted. I used various providers - and yes I have coverage where I am right now. [21:07] alextybob: that Pendrivelinux web site - has the tools for that also. [21:07] any recommended tools? [21:08] alextybob: or just do a normal install to the hard drive and be done with it. [21:08] hi somebody knows a tool for block my usb for write [21:08] who used scalpel recovery software before? [21:08] I gave a buddy a usb live install of ubuntu 10.04...they used the 'try ubuntu' option and saved stuff into the picture folder, then chose to do a permanent install on the laptop and are now trying to recover the pictures from their live session [21:08] r0zz: clarify what you are asking [21:08] hi i have a question regarding ubuntu recognizing my systems memory. shall i shoot in here or is there a somewhat specific channel? [21:09] aretrfre34: You did use netbook edition didn't you? I suppose you have tried to right click and then choose something like properties? [21:09] i only want read from my usb [21:09] Dr_Willis: I believe he want to make his USB pen drive Readonly [21:09] i have information in this information dont want to modify === P67_ is now known as P67 [21:10] aombk_: theres this common guide on linux/ram -> www.linuxatemyram.com [21:10] realubot:so you never tried it? [21:10] alextybob, you are running ubuntu live via usb now, you typed > 21:43 i'm using ubuntu at the moment off of a live usb , so what is the problem ? [21:10] aombk_: Shoot away [21:10] r0zz: i would suggest making backups of the improntant stuff.. [21:10] Does noone have a default .gtkrc-2.0* tat i could use? [21:10] yeah [21:11] judgen: the default.. is an empty file last i checked... [21:11] but every time i restart my computer i have to reinstall flash etc [21:11] * Dr_Willis looks again [21:11] judgen: that's easy, it doesn't exist [21:11] windows has a program called usb writeprotector my question is if linux has something like? [21:11] i have installed ubuntu when i had 3gb of memory. i installed one more GB of memory but ubuntu still reports 3gb of memory installed. i am using 32bit ubuntu with pae kernel.thanks [21:11] alextybob: and with just a 2gb flash drive.. it will very quickly fill up. Why dont you jsut do a normal isntall then> [21:11] aombk_: does your bios see 4? [21:12] yes [21:12] aombk_: 32bit or 64bit linux? [21:12] Dr_Willis, 32bit [21:12] !who [21:12] 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 :) [21:12] Dr_Willis, still the same problem... just like in kde3 i need it [21:12] can i do a normal install without deleting all my stuff off of the ubuntu live cd? [21:12] i am trying to route port 8025 to 25 using iptables http://www.pastebin.org/387766 is what i am getting [21:12] off of the hard drive een [21:12] even* [21:12] judgen: huh? what problem? [21:13] jrib, it does not due to the gnome sesion manager, but if you do not have that, you need the gtkrc file just as in kde3 [21:13] alextybob: for the 12th time. the installer can RESIZE your existing windows partitions. [21:13] :) [21:13] is synaptic the package manager for gnome? [21:13] ok, how do i do that? [21:13] alextybob: it shrinks windows.. and installs to its own partitions. [21:13] aombk_: 32bit handles just a little over 3GB to see the full 4GB switch to 64bit [21:13] Dr_Willis, in non-compilant WM's i need it to be able to sue the themes [21:13] set* [21:13] alextybob: follow the installer qiestions. [21:14] judgen: what themes? im totally lost here. :) [21:14] i have either erase and use entire disk or specify partitions manually [21:14] !manual | alextybob [21:14] alextybob: 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/ [21:14] Dr_Willis, in KDE3 they use a gtkrc-2.0-qt and that will work too [21:14] any gtkrc file will be fine [21:14] alextybob you can resize with the kubuntu cd [21:14] Dr_Willis, any theme [21:14] DarkStar1, but i am using the pae kernel. isnt this what it is for? [21:15] judgen: my .gtkrc-2.0 file has 1 line in it. (used by rox-filer) --> gtk-can-change-accels = 1 thats about it. [21:15] |GNAA| - find out more @ www.gnaa.eu [21:15] i can't use a cd as i don't have a working drive [21:15] judgen: other then that - ive never seen any other .gtkrc-2.0 files/settings used by anything. [21:15] aombk_, the PAE kernel should support up to several TB, but will suffer some performance loss [21:15] can anyone troubleshoot my 3G-(not-)connection? All I get is "Disconnected - you are now offline." I deleted the connection. set it up anew. I rebooted. I used various providers - and yes I have coverage where I am right now. [21:15] The what?? Kernel?? I'm sorry I don't know about linux specific kernels but I could find out if you give me a link [21:15] |GNAA| - find out more @ www.gnaa.eu [21:16] alextybob: it should have a 'install alongside/resize' option. Unless your HD layout is very weird [21:16] hey peeps what packaged will recreate my pam.d/ directory? [21:16] |GNAA| - find out more @ www.gnaa.eu [21:16] Dr_Willis, sadly that does not help... I should visit the kubuntu -remix channel if they ad one [21:16] alextybob: or its detecting your windows partition is goofed up. so wont try to resize it [21:16] !ops | GlobalPR : GNAA crap [21:16] judgen: actually, the physical limit for RAM with PAE is 64GB [21:16] GlobalPR, please don't advertise in this channel. [21:16] yeah my windows partition is goofed up [21:16] rww: |GNAA| - find out more @ www.gnaa.eu [21:16] judgen, thats ok. is there something i need to do in order for ubuntu to recognize the extra GB of ram i installed after installing ubuntu? [21:16] aombk_ The Linux kernel includes full PAE mode support starting with version 2.3.23 enabling access of up to 64 GB of memory on 32-bit machines however a PAE-enabled Linux-kernel requires that the CPU also support PAE. :) [21:17] alextybob: perhaps you should try to fix that first. Or just delete it :) [21:17] realubot:so what with ICON? [21:17] I have an IR receiver on my laptop; how can I know that it is working in order to record lirc signals from it using irrecord? [21:17] !pae > aombk_ [21:17] aombk_, please see my private message [21:17] mneptok, the PAE can be extended, but it will cost even more of a perfiormance disadvantage. [21:17] !pae > chadi [21:17] chadi, please see my private message [21:17] fixing windows has turned out to be a nightmare [21:17] realubot:with CUSTOM Icons [21:17] alextybob: is the OS messed up? or the hard drive bad/failing? or filesystem bad? === Chimera is now known as Guest7437 [21:18] aombk_, yuu are likely NOT using the pae kernel if you can not see the ram. [21:18] judgen: the PAE implementation in the Linux kernel supports a maximum of 64GB [21:18] hi folks [21:18] Is Quad core a bit too much for desktop computing? Though I think it kind of helps at the moment [21:18] I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 [21:18] mneptok, so it is impossible... lol. [21:18] =D [21:18] is that a bad thing? [21:18] the problem is the mbr [21:18] judgen: you mean like this ---> http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/SampleGtkrc2.0 [21:18] is there anyone who is at least a bit familiar with mobile broadband? [21:18] everything starts from small things, that is a small issue that i can't cahnge icon in latest ubuntu for mobile platforms [21:19] it won't boot [21:19] judgen: excuse me? [21:19] and i don't know how to repair it [21:19] i upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, is that bad? [21:19] alextybob: use teh live ubuntu setup to backup anything imporntant - to some other location. :) is a good idea. [21:19] and when i tried using the windows DVD it didn't recognise the existance of my hardrive [21:19] alextybob: my netbooks all ahve a recovery partition i can boot and restores windows. [21:19] cos my nvidea is not working anymore :( [21:20] hmm... interesting i have nebver tried that [21:20] hey guys, trying to simply run PITIVI, getting this: http://www.pastebin.org/387774 [21:20] mneptok, ignore me, i am a tad drunk. Bit bit extension is theoretically possible to any amount of bits, but it will cost in speed [21:20] alextybob that's why linux walks on water [21:20] but* [21:20] Dr_Willis, that is exactly what i was looking for [21:20] Dr_Willis, thanks [21:20] G_G: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [21:20] darkstar1: what is this?

[21:22] Read the information on that page [21:22] realubot:ok [21:23] will this fix my nvidia? [21:23] aretrfre34: The icons are stored somewhere in the system and if you find the place where it is then you will eb able to replace the icon to another one.

[21:28] xorwhy: find a PPA for it. or recompile from source is one way to upgrade it [21:29] I know compiling from source won't work. [21:29] DarkStar1: not pish posh - of course they are useful - but everyone who uses one should be aware that there *is* some risk [21:29] mneptok, i would approach you in offtopic, where you are not. PM'ing is even poorer form, and it is offtopic here. What do you propose then? [21:29] guntbert: dude i live for that chance [21:29] Compiling things from source never, ever, ever, ever works, unless it's an application I didn't really care for when I compiled it, in these cases compiling works fine. [21:30] DarkStar1: iv done the updates now what? [21:30] s3r3n1t7: ask first. or /j #ubuntu-ops to discuss op issues. [21:30] G_G: thats ok with me :-) [21:30] xorwhy: wow.. how logical..

An assumption I make (Yes I know assumptions are the mother of all......) is that whoever chooses to run open source has agreed to leave the cotton ball handling of windows and therefore know that choosing to run the system itself involves risks [21:38] iksf: done, still not working [21:38] Cube``: did update before reinstall ye?

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

I'm running lynx on a new Dell 1545 [21:42] Cube``:yup [21:42] sklav: understood.. and the application of it is going into beta for my job association.. I'm just being hopeful.. running windows in a vm works but I'd just rather not have to if it's not needed. [21:43] guntbert: That is true. but in this case the ppa I recomemended comes from the Hardware manufacturers themselves. The situation regarding PPA shouldn't be taken in such Black and white context. I would assume the hardware manufacturers have a vested interest in ensuring the functionality of their hardware [21:43] iksf: yeah did [21:43] Cube``:try compiling it from source [21:43] okay, I'm new to IRC.

[22:22] Lxndr: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz [22:22] Lxndr: It requires wine, but then ies4linux downloads the windows ie installerse, installs them, sets them up, and badaboom :) you can use ie4/5/6/7/8 in linux without any hassle. [22:23] Alazair: You can do it by hand yes :) but it's a PITA. [22:23] ah well [22:23] oka: Ahh I see.

There's a chance you were lied to, and it doesn't have it. [23:04] A pretty good chance :( [23:04] bihari, be patient, I'm looking...so far, I've found this...it's from Hardy (8.10) but it may be worth taking a look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780946 I'm still looking for more recent info [23:04] soupdragon: That's a biggie.

[23:13] UltraParadigm: It works nicely, and if the linux packages don't work the windows "installer" works nicely over wine if you select "run". [23:14] Agu10_: Damn. Does it list a processor name on it? if it lists the core2 or anything but u2700 or su2700 they gave you the wrong thing. [23:14] Agu10_: That's still a good little processor you know.

I am trying to install ubuntu from USB. But there is no install option after boot, it just starts up Ubuntu from the USB (I am actually in ubuntu right now lol). But I want to install it to my HDD obviously. [23:15] Hi. So I enabled the lucid-backports repo according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports, so that I could install the latest kernel that I needed. The guide said that by setting the pin-priority, backports would never install unless you specifically asked them to. However, my "Update Manager" is presenting me with a bunch of stuff under the heading "Proposed updates". apt-get ugrade agrees that I need to upgrade unreasonable software. What [23:15] gonardfreeman wait nevermind, i extracted it and ran it in termanal [23:15] Agu10_: Damn. Oh well :) [23:15] I should've spent some more for the core 2 duo version [23:15] Twixly: no installation icon ? [23:15] All it shows after I choose boot from USB is : Defaul and Help. Both seem to start Ubuntu. [23:16] Twixly: which ubuntu version ? [23:16] slidinghorn: Thank's I'll look into that too!

[23:19] Agu10_: Look online for a tutorial of how to replace the drive on your laptop before you buy one. I've got an asus, and it was a pain in the ass. I would have gladly payed the computer shop an extra $20-$30 to do it. [23:19] My copy of Ubuntu switched to a live session when it failed to install. Would I by chance be lucky enough for it to grab files it can't read from the CD off the internet?

I've only got a 30 in there now, but then again I've got a server in my house with 2TB, so it's easy. [23:21] Plasma: what makes you think it can't read some files from the CD? [23:21] you send it through internet, Kyle__ ? [23:21] wher is the edit option [23:21] Because it said in big fat letters "Installation failed" [23:21] usb?

[23:21] Kyle__, oh, I see [23:21] Dupper: connecting via usb is a pain, I gave up with my sagem f@st 800 modem because it used to take longer than mobile broadband to actually get it working. [23:21] bihari: applications - accessories - terminal opens a window with file / edit / ,,, menu at the top, try edit - profile prefs [23:21] Kyle__, maybe I have 2 satas so I can put an SSD too [23:21] that would be fine? [23:22] ooh [23:22] Shiba, take a look @ tip #3 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140920 [23:22] slidinghorn: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu isn't any of the main known repositories. Or am I missing anything? [23:22] Agu10_: Why not? [23:22] Gryllida: Will the installation be able to pull the files off the net if it fails to read it from the CD? [23:23] Agu10_: How many ports are available on your motherboard? [23:23] Plasma: Depends on if you have an internet connection. [23:23] I'm here. :) [23:23] !pm | Dupper you were responded to already: [23:23] Dupper you were responded to already:: 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.

[23:23] I wasnt here when I was responded to :( I had disconnected... sorry about the msg [23:24] Plasma: Come back here if you have any issues. [23:24] Plasma: it would give the 'corrupt cd' warning, I've never heard about taking installation files from Internet, but how do you know that it really can't read some files from cd? [23:24] internet USB ?? what u mean?? [23:24] why is it dumb to run xchat as root? [23:24] Gryllida: Never heard of Gentoo? [23:24] Dupper, ok..well unfortunately I was not able to find a solution. Sorry =\ [23:24] Gryllida: It said it some directory didn't exist or something. [23:24] OH! That was it, yeah I got that, thought there was something else. [23:24] -it* [23:24] bob_: securiteh [23:24] I bet no one here uses a USB port to access the internet lol [23:24] bob_, if something manages to break through xchat, it will have full access to your system instead of just your account. [23:24] It was at 60% when it failed. [23:24] o, right [23:25] Plasma, tried to run the install one more time? if same, then burn another cd. [23:25] i used usb dongle [23:25] askhader, I think only one :( [23:25] Isn't it dumb to run anything as root? [23:25] nops [23:25] Dupper I do [23:25] Gryllida: Some packages are not essential for booting [23:25] bob_: it's dumb to run any application as root that doesn't need root. however, it's especially dumb to run applications that access the internet as root, because then someone else who knows about bugs in the application (and there are always such bugs) could exploit them to gain *full*, and not just limited, access to your system. [23:25] bob_: it's not xchat as root , running any internet app as root is insecure [23:25] Plasma, do a mechanical clean up of cd drive as well [23:25] trojan... that is basically what this is [23:25] Gryllida: He can just grab them after. [23:25] what driver did you use for the USB dongle? [23:25] Ah. [23:25] when i type m its showing the same [23:25] Dupper: no, or root wouldn't exist [23:25] so whats your problem m8? [23:25] LjL: Sorry, I oversimplified. [23:25] thanks for the tons of answers [23:25] bihari: did you see the font dropdown? [23:26] I've been having all sorts of problems installing Kubuntu, I think it has something to do with my power saving settings. [23:26] Plasma: As long as you get the core libs, you can download the packages later. aptitude has support for this. [23:26] !root | bob [23:26] bob: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:26] dropdown? [23:26] lol apparently thats a big problem [23:26] trojan_spike, I can't get an internet connection via USB. :( [23:26] BluesKaj: perhaps you wanted !rootirc? [23:26] thanks!

[23:26] LjL: yeah , that's it [23:26] I figured out what I did wrong. The directory /etc/apt/preferences.d existed, so I made a file called /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed.conf and put my pin-priorities in there. Apparently, I see that you have to put these prefs into /etc/apt/preferences itself.

[23:40] Gryllida: Default file permissions? xD [23:40] Gryllida: What file system type? [23:41] Oer: ok, but Ubuntu Software Center does not told me if i want or not. in more i have 3gb of ram ... [23:41] I am on Jolicloud [23:41] FabParma, ubuntu update should have .. [23:41] check the history in update [23:41] kojack: Probably not. [23:43] This is the error message I receive from the installer, can anyone assist? http://pastebin.com/zgM78d62 [23:44] It's one of the free CDs I ordered and it's barely been used, so I don't understand. :( [23:44] It may be simpler to reburn another. [23:44] Plasma, as it says it is most likely a bad cd [23:45] Plasma, did you run the check cd option [23:45] You can of course try to fix this by hand. [23:45] i got some strange error about echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs [23:45] No I haven't. [23:45] And I can't just take it out right now because I'm booted into a Live Session. === IntSys is now known as Turnerz [23:46] "Ubuntu Software Center" has installed w/o any reason an permission this kernel: "Linux 2.6.32-23-generic-pae"? In more I have 3GB of RAM, so I don't understand the reason to install it on my machine. I am sure that I am not intentionally installed this kernel. How its possible that its present on my PC? [23:46] Plasma: Do you have a USB stick? [23:46] Plasma: what kind of platform did you order , 32 or 64 bit , I got the same error when I mistakenly tried to install a 64 bit version on a 32 bit pc [23:46] Plasma, ok well... I would suggest rebooting and chooseing the check cd options not the others [23:46] Yeah, but my PC won't boot up to USB. [23:46] Plasma, oh [23:46] BluesKaj: 32bit, desktop edition [23:46] FabParma: Do you get the "software update" pop ups? [23:46] huh ,, pc wont boot usb?? boot order even? [23:47] ok Plasma , perhaps you got a defective disk [23:47] Plasma: no cds around huh? [23:47] Plasma, do you have another system to burn the cd again? [23:47] i have ubuntu installed on my laptop but i want lubuntu now how do i remove ubuntu so i can keep just lubuntu ? [23:47] Yeah, I have no CDs to burn to that I can find. [23:47] Plasma, ah ok [23:47] can someone jsut tell me the commands on how to set a root password in terminal [23:47] I'm going to clean and check the disk. I'll be back in a while. [23:47] FabParma, if system memory, + cache processor, + videomemory, + audiomemory is more than 4096 mb, PAE is used [23:47] get wubi ?? === Turnerz is now known as IntSys [23:47] Plasma: Hold on [23:47] askhader: Ok [23:47] ita? [23:48] ita [23:48] ciao [23:48] Plasma, askhader: "Default file permissions?" No idea ; :What file system type?" NTFS [23:48] Gryllida: Yes, NTFS. [23:49] Plasma: Hm I'm afraid you're out of luck. Best try to clean the disk [23:49] There was some terminal command I seen that can change them, something like cacl, you'll have to google it though. [23:49] askhader: Ok :( [23:50] deco, did you get that lubuntu command? [23:50] Plasma: my question "Hello, why do any NEW files I save to a windows share show 'access denied' warning when that Windows user tries to open them, while me just editing existing files does not make any problems?" and I am completely unsure how to google it [23:50] "How to change windows file permission settings"? [23:50] Oer: 3gb ram, 512mb vga, audio is integrated i dont know [23:50] Gryllida: Do you know the 'cd' command? [23:50] askhader: yes [23:51] Gryllida: cd into the root dir of the windows partition. [23:51] Gryllida: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/cacls.mspx [23:51] has anyone ever tryed to do the same has ready boost, but in linux? [23:51] plasma,, folder properties / security [23:52] askhader: 'bash: cd: smb://10.0.0.7/: No such file or directory' === william is now known as Guest51308 [23:52] o.o;; [23:52] Back in a bit. [23:52] (I acccess that machine by ip) [23:52] ah [23:52] Mehtrala: Basically you just put a swap file on a flash drive and you're done, it probably won't help much if at all with performance though. [23:52] not sure then. [23:52] how do I get root privliges for a wile? with out using terminal [23:52] is there anyway for me to copy win 7 from my notebook to my netbook that has linux on it [23:52] bob_: sudo su [23:52] oh [23:52] Why not use the terminal? [23:52] bob_: why without terminal? [23:53] !terminal [23:53] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:53] Mehtrala: And it's a great way to wear out your flash drive. [23:53] :) [23:53] Jordan_U: why not? not has much has it helps in XP or vista? [23:53] Terminal is for advanced users [23:53] Agu10_: Hardly. [23:53] WinIdiots can't use the terminal [23:53] because i need to type the password in a text box in to install a driver [23:53] all u can do is back up your windows 7 , then restoree onto other notebook [23:53] Every informed Linux user should be able to navigate the terminal. [23:53] bob_: so? [23:53] bob_: type the password in. [23:53] Agu10_: *cough* I've been using windows for 10 years and felt ok with terminal on my first linux day in june this year [23:53] what is it? [23:54] Agu10_, I digagree it is for advanced users, should be for every Linux user [23:54] Mehtrala: I don't think that it helps Vista signifigantly either. [23:54] bob_: Are you on the livecd? [23:54] k [23:54] ita?? [23:54] Gryllida, but you're not a winidiot then [23:54] come si va su ubuntu it? [23:54] bob_: applications - accessories - terminal [23:54] no its a complete install [23:54] bob_: Then you set your password during installation. [23:54] Or whoever installed did.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [23:54] i know how to do it in termanal i jsut use sudo -i [23:54] yo yo yo [23:54] Jordan_U: Can i get dimm slots connectable trought the USB ? [23:55] hi [23:55] bob_: okay [23:55] lol [23:55] bob_: Get root in the terminal [23:55] and do passwd bob [23:55] And then bob's password will be the root password that you set [23:55] somebody who has any hanging experience with the latest VirtualBox? [23:55] bob_: if youre able to do sudo -i, then you clearly know your user's password [23:55] i use v-box [23:55] makish: what guest ? [23:55] bob_: yuo can boot to root recovery mode then run: passwd bob [23:55] bob_: its the same one you put in when prompted [23:56] Mandriva [23:56] actionParsnip: such a big security design flaw =/ [23:56] deco, Mandriva [23:56] makish: hmmm it's working fine here [23:56] askhader: its a good backdoor though] [23:56] askhader: you can reset windows passwords with Linux too ;) [23:56] askhader: if someone's got physical access, you're boned anyway [23:56] makish: does it just stop responding ? or it just slow [23:56] actionParsnip: Perfect backdoor, that's the issue. [23:56] maco: Perhaps you are, sir. [23:56] Anyone can help me with ubuntu 10.04 install? I just finished Inatlling it , and when it says Installation Complete i hit restart now, and it came out a lad of errors , black screen with many errors, what should i do? I installed it from livecd ubuntu 10.04 32bits [23:56] askhader: well users forget passwords and if there is no backdoor the account is screwed [23:57] So what do I do for files that I put onto windows partition to have some permissions for windows user to be able to read and edit them? [23:57] actionParsnip: I'm not against backdoors, I'm just saying that the way it is now is pretty useless. [23:57] s/partition/share [23:57] deco, hmm strange..i tried now for 3 times to install the Mandriva 2010.1 for testing...the setup hangs all the time...the same with smooth_wall setup [23:57] thats normal , installation [23:57] GuerreroPorVeni: if the install completed then just reset the PC. should be fine [23:57] if you care about security, setup an encrypted partition [23:57] makish: maybe it's a bad mandriva iso [23:57] askhander it didnt work, like the password still doesnt work [23:57] askhader: recovery mode wont work if you have a root password set, but then oh wait...just change the boot line to include init=/bin/bash and again it doesnt matter... so you set a boot password in the bios, and they pop out the cmos battery or just pull the the hard drive. security stops at physical access [23:57] oka: I care but i dont encrypt stuff, causes to many headaches [23:57] deco, hmm..downloaded it direclty from the site [23:57] Good evening, I am having trouble installing ubuntu 10:04, type it seems he does not find the driver for your video card, you know, someone could give me a help? [23:57] ok but do i restart it with the restart button or do i type /quit in the command line.? [23:58] makish: it can still get messed up if you have a bad hdd for example [23:58] maco: Ever heard of data encryption? [23:58] macfire: use the safe vga boot option [23:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [23:58] yes,, u can restart [23:58] askhader: yep. ever heard of pulling out RAM to steal the encryption keys? [23:58] GuerreroPorVeni: sudo reboot [23:58] makish: when you setup the v-machine did you select mandriva from the list of distros ? [23:58] if anyone can unscrew your disk they can read the data anyway [23:58] ok i am restarting will tell you what happens next one sec :D [23:58] Jordan_U: it whould probably be on the web.. docs, ..if that was possible [23:58] deco, hmm dont think so..the hd is pretty new... [23:58] maco: That depends on your implementation. [23:58] deco, yeah [23:58] makish: oh hmmm that's weird [23:59] makish check bios for sata - ide modus AHCI, turn it off. [23:59] askhader: it depends on you guarding your ram for 5 minutes after powering down [23:59] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [kdmflush:275] [23:59] Oer, ok [23:59] makish: have you tried a different distro just to be sure it's nto v-box ? [23:59] it's not* [23:59] maco: It's not that simple. int retrieve-keys(ram); does not exist. [23:59] deco, i will do that..thats my next step..=) [23:59] makish: okay :) [23:59] the video is totally mangled, I can not see his options, anyone know how to solve this problem?
