[00:54] [ERROR] I get Segmentation Fault error in terminal after i type glxgears to check my 3d rendering, ho0w do i fix this please? thanks in advance [00:54] corey__: 8.10 is no longer supported, however 8.04 still is [00:54] ...it'a list of all installed packages [00:54] Anyone got a BT Headset working? I have it paired and connected to the headset service... but I don't see any extra sound cards [00:54] sebsebseb, so I should just stick with 8.04 [00:54] nejode: Which is not what I asked for. [00:54] upgrade from 8.04 [00:55] corey__: Sure for now [00:55] corey__: Untill the end of April next year when it comes to desktop version support. [00:55] nickserv says 270 failed login attempts sense my last login on ubuntu servers i think someone wants my nick [00:55] MaindVirus: Well, then forget I said anything [00:55] wasnt me [00:56] nejode: Done. [00:56] corey__: for 8.04 [00:56] nejode: If you press tab after the first few letters of someone's name it will autocomplete it. [00:57] is there a way to know what is happening when I have to wait at the Ubuntu Logo screen? Like what is loading behind the logo? [00:57] ShawnRisk: Ctrl+Alt+F1 should do it. [00:57] Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back. [00:58] MindVirus: yes but that doesn't show what is loading. I would need a command [00:58] ShawnRisk: What do you want to see? [00:58] MindVirus: what is loading before the Ubuntu Logo, so I can see exactly what is happening and when things are finished [00:58] [ERROR] I get Segmentation Fault error in terminal after i type glxgears to check my 3d rendering, ho0w do i fix this please? thanks in advance [00:59] ShawnRisk: That's fairly vague. [00:59] I'm going to eat dinner. [00:59] ShawnRisk: edit the grub kernel line to erase "quiet" and "splash" [01:00] nejode: what would that do? [01:00] ShawnRisk: press esc and the splash will go and you can read the text [01:00] ShawnRisk: it will show all your loading lines [01:01] ShawnRisk: no plymouth === Nijverheid is now known as Guest36360 === ole is now known as oka [01:03] Hey, I can't get my sound working on a fresh install. It looks like the system recognized my sound card and the driver (snd-hda-intel) is installed. I did have to add my username to audio in /etc/group, but after restarting, still no luck. alsamixer levels are all unmuted and 100%. Any ideas? [01:03] What's the quickest way to recompile just one kernel module, but keep the rest of the default kernel the same? [01:04] how do I get a shell script to run when I logon? Dewgong - are you sure it is a linux driver? [01:05] I have ubuntu karmic [01:05] nat682, # ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells. [01:05] nat682, not sure. How would I find that out? === tony_ is now known as tbemus [01:05] nejode: thanks [01:05] actionParsnip: thanks [01:05] I am at the desktop now, trying to figure out things [01:06] ShawnRisk, where does it hang? [01:07] ShawnRisk: all good fun :) [01:07] dewgong, the driver that comes with your sound card is almost always for windoze only. linux should automatically have a driver that will work [01:07] nat682, Next step, how do I find/install that driver? [01:07] oka - is that supposed to be a file in my home directory? it doesn't exist on mine [01:07] nat682: put it in the startup items, you can make it run any command or script you wish [01:08] nat682: system -> preferences -> startup items [01:08] I want to be able to configure this with a CLI [01:09] nejode: it isn't hanging just taking forever to load and now I am on the desktop [01:10] nat682: you can make a .deskop file to run the command and symlink it in ~/.config/autostart [01:10] nat682: or simply put the .desktop in the folder [01:10] nat682: kde uses ~/.kde/Autorun [01:10] is it true that linux has a larger market share than Mac OS X? [01:10] actionParsnip: what is a .desktop? what do I do? I am using GNOME [01:10] xangua: when I tried the control+atl+t it didn't work out. [01:11] ShawnRisk: control shift T to open another gnome-terminal [01:11] poyntz: Linux only has about 1% market share for desktops, smaller than Mac, but Linux is the best OS there is [01:11] hey [01:12] nat682: in some ways. yes [01:12] i find linux to be a complete mess when it comes to desktop [01:12] wait can u guys see this? [01:12] steven: yes, we can [01:12] no [01:12] I was using my computer typing in a IM window, when suddenly my USB keyboard froze. the numlock etc keys wouldn't toggle, but the computer still functioned otherwise (I can ssh in and the clock still updates on the systray). I checked, and it seems that no USB devices are working. `lsusb' hangs, and I saw this in syslog: http://sprunge.us/WiMX. Is this a kernel bug, or probably just quirky hardware? [01:12] o cool [01:13] nat682: if you want to maximise the effectiveness of your hardware and control over your computer, yes linux is the best [01:13] ShawnRisk: what version are you using¿ [01:13] blain: good thing your advice is pointless and invalid [01:13] iv been having issues with nick server and wanted to make shure i was really in [01:13] nat682: if you want compatibility with external devices, linux aint that great [01:13] poyntz, nat682, depends on the external device. [01:13] poyntz: there is absolutely nothing you can do with windoze or mac that you can't do with linux [01:14] poyntz: except see a BSOD, which is a good thing [01:14] bastidrazor: that didn't work out [01:14] nat682: ok. i'll take your argument further. you can do as much with any OS as any other OS [01:14] nat682: i'm talking about linux straight out of the box [01:14] ShawnRisk: you're trying to open a 2nd terminal while in gnome-terminal? [01:14] xangua: I am using the latest public version of ubuntu [01:14] bastidrazor: nope open a new terminal [01:15] nat682: iPhone support on linux is inexistant. web cam support is lousy. flash support is variable [01:15] ShawnRisk: right click > open terminal will open a new tab. control shift t should also open a new tab [01:15] poyntz: Uh? My iPhone works fine with Rhythmbox. [01:16] ok so can someone remote desktop into my computer and help me with a small issue? [01:16] how do I configure a program to start on login using just a terminal [01:16] Hi! My mysql server keeps running in safe mode, that causes me a lot of problems! How to force NOT to run in safe mode? [01:16] lfaraone: i'm on kde, so haven't tried it. thanks for the heads up tho :) [01:16] i need to be root, but not in terminal [01:16] bastidrazor: I am trying to open a new terminal as in a fresh new terminal. There is no terminal opened at the moment [01:16] poyntz: http://www.blogsdna.com/7527/is-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-supporting-iphone-ipod-touch.htm [01:16] an application requiers root privligis to be installed [01:16] hi, someone is having some problem to connect on msn via empathy right now? [01:16] ShawnRisk: Applications > Accessories > Terminal [01:16] steven sudo ? [01:17] is that someone you?? [01:17] bastidrazor: I have no panels [01:17] no like the driver im trying to install needs me to impot the root password into a text box [01:17] ShawnRisk: reason being? [01:17] HOW DO I CONFIGURE A PROGRAM TO START ON LOGIN USING JUST THE TERMINAL? [01:17] !caps | nat682 [01:17] nat682: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:17] and i tried passwrd [01:18] bastidrazor: not sure, I updated today and this just seem to happen [01:19] so can someone remote in and help? please? [01:20] steven run the installer having sudo before anything [01:20] steven: did you enter your password when it asked? [01:20] yes [01:20] steven: how are you running the program? [01:20] steven: That sounds like a really bad idea for legal and liability reasons. [01:20] steven: and what happened when you did? [01:20] and i used suto -i [01:20] Hey, I can't get my sound working on a fresh install. It looks like the system recognized my sound card and the driver (snd-hda-intel) is installed. I did have to add my username to audio in /etc/group, but after restarting, still no luck. alsamixer levels are all unmuted and 100%. Any fresh ideas? [01:20] !netsplit [01:20] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:21] it said authentication failure [01:22] what's the VNC server that's installed with ubuntu? x11vnc?? [01:22] happyface: vinagre is the client, not sure about the server. [01:22] and im not gonna sue lol [01:23] steven: that's probably because your password is wrong. [01:23] no i use the same password for everything [01:23] sudo su [01:23] lfaraone: vino [01:24] blain: use: sudo -i instead [01:24] !info vino | happyface [01:24] happyface: vino (source: vino): VNC server for GNOME.

Version 2.28.2-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 166 kB, installed size 2840 kB [01:24] and even if it is, then if someone remotes in to my computer, then they could set a new one in terminal with sudo -i passwd steven: Like I said, that sounds like a really bad idea for legal and liability reasons for anyone in this channel. [01:25] im not gona sew or anything, i have no data on this computer anyway, its a fresh install [01:26] sue* [01:26] :) [01:26] my bad [01:26] Does unbuntu have something like wgetpaste? apt-get can't find it.

You can use sudo and gksudo to get admin priveledges [01:30] I'm just getting started with AWS and I'm running into an issue with creating a bootable EBS AMI from a snapshot [01:30] basically I start up the publicly available Ubuntu Lucid AMI and create a snapshot of the volume, create the EBS ami but then when I try to boot from the new instance it doesn't boot up and ends up failing [01:31] seems I am not getting anywhere [01:31] even when im in sudo in terminal it still asked for root password [01:31] like here [01:31] Hello.

[01:33] after typing sudo you will be prompted for a passwaord [01:33] How come apt-get can't find pastebin? [01:33] gnubu: because it's called pastebinit [01:33] gnubu: sudo apt-get update | pastebinit [01:33] what is compiling? [01:34] actionParsnip no its .deb [01:34] trojan_spike: compiling is making an executable from source [01:34] heres a screenshot [01:34] http://imgur.com/NVJzD [01:34] i should learn more on that on a forum or something..

[01:35] steven: your pwd needs to be the folder you downloaded the file to [01:36] what? [01:36] steven: you know where firefox places the downloaded file? [01:36] yes [01:36] steven: so if the files are in Downloads you will need to run: cd Downloads first, then run: sudo ./filename [01:36] and then i extracted it [01:36] :) i asked to learn ;) [01:36] steven: you need to use the ./ at the start so the interpretter looks in the pwd [01:36] or place the downloaded file in home [01:36] why cd downloads, not just downloads? [01:37] change directory [01:37] Hey, I can't get my sound working on a fresh install. It looks like the system recognized my sound card and the driver (snd-hda-intel) is installed.

[01:49] when i lock my ubuntu 10.04 desktop, it doesn't accept my password even though i am typing it in correctly. when i select 'change user' and log into my running account, it works. anyone know how to fix this problem? [01:49] What is a !terminal? [01:49] cuz if so I would think there'd be a security warning or something, VNC should never be open to the public [01:49] dan_: if your routers uses upnp then it will do that, its not ubuntu [01:49] Bluetooth - HELP [01:49] Dewgong, my only assumption at this point is that a) your install isn't 100% 2) the kernel module for your sound card isn't active or present.

I have no idea how to make the encoding proper. [01:50] actionParsnip, what separates that from other network services then? I mean it's obviously attempting to elevate its listening capabilities at some point [01:50] actionParsnip, if I launch a regular vnc server and attach it to my local net address it's not going to automatically open it to the world [01:50] actionParsnip: What is a !terminal? [01:50] im gunna try rebooting [01:50] actionParsnip: btw, i tried those kernel parameters you mentioned for the synaptics trackpad a day or two ago, but they didn't make it work. [01:50] i need some help with windows [01:51] can someone just remote in and help please?

[01:54] :D [01:54] steven: sudo gives you all the permissions needed. setting a root password to install a lexmark driver is insane. [01:54] sebsebseb, the default thing uses UPnP to punch a hole in your firewall, the message is also misleading because when I looked at it at first it was attached to a local net address and then it elevated later without me being aware of it [01:54] 130MB [01:54] <_CommandeR_> Guys and Girls, Getting my Corsair SSD soon and wondering, do i need to do anything about SSD drive properties to make it last longer or some performance tweaks for Ubuntu and SSD?

[01:55] YOU THERE! YOU READING THIS! Do you have a bluetooth headset working? CALL NOW!

[01:56] I'm saying I checked one box and magically deliciously ubuntu was open on its VNC port to the world [01:56] Dewgong, i think you try with a real install of ubuntu from a hash checked iso or usb iso [01:56] !best | cheater99 [01:56] cheater99: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

Thanks for trying! With luck you won't see me back here later today.. [01:57] sebsebseb: that has not answered my question. [01:57] sebsebseb, uPnP does allow software to communicate with your hardware firewall and automatically negotiate an open port, I've been aware of the existence of that for some time because it's typically used for torrent clients [01:57] Dewgong, also if you know how to get the deviceid of the sound card i'd check for the modules on the livecd when running it [01:57] but it's very strange that ubuntu VNC would use it [01:57] lancetw, - oops sorry wrongperson [01:57] <_CommandeR_> Jordan_U, getting an Corsair Force 120, most revies praise it. [01:57] hello there, anybody knows if there might exist any reason why the '--no-upgrade' apt flag could work when trying to _downgrade_ a package? :) [01:57] cheater99: ok the default client that comes with Ubuntu, will do the trick [01:58] airtonix, I'm sure I've read it on my crazy alsa page I probably should have sent you earlier [01:58] sebsebseb: ok, i hadn't known there was one. thanks. [01:58] why not i mean [01:58] downgraded package is probabley taken off package manager [01:58] Lantizia, !yell [01:58] cheater99: ok np [01:59] now if someone knew how to get a ps2 trackpad to work [01:59] that would make my day [01:59] trojan_spike, what do you mean?

[04:00] prince_jammys: yeah, when I do a --dry-run it is just installing 2 new packages, not removing or upgrading any [04:00] prince_jammys: guess that answers my question - python3.x is not a replacement for 2.6.x [04:00] preciso de ajuda [04:00] jwfoxjr: i mean actually installing the new python, and then dry-run'ing the removal of 2.6 [04:00] SerenaT, developer docs or user docs?

[04:13] !enter | the_flying_os [04:13] the_flying_os: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:13] hotfloppy: some of the stuff may be there, but not installed. [04:13] how do i open .eft files in ubuntu? [04:13] how do i look at all the computers on my network? [04:13] MrGoodkat: seaarch for .eft in software center [04:13] searching for ubuntu and eft on google only returns edgy eft results [04:14] hotfloppy: but really, I don't have a clue. I recommend going to aptoncd's website, which hopefully exists. [04:14] how do you use samba like in the video to back up your files from ubuntu to your computer with a windows os? [04:14] prince_jammys: may be there but not installed ? i dont understand.. [04:14] thanks Gryllida === administrator_ is now known as Atticus [04:14] prince_jammys: thats okay.. just want to know.. :) [04:15] Hey. I'm new to linux and I'm trying to install a program to that will unzip/unrar. The programs install correctly, but I get an error every time I try to open a .rar file. Do I need to install something else, in addition to the program itself? [04:15] hotfloppy: packages you once downloaded and installed, but then removed them, but didn't clean from your system. Really just a guess. === laser is now known as Guest68480 [04:15] luscious_lewis: what program? [04:15] hotfloppy: ''/msg ubottu clone'' if you are interested in other ways of cloning a system. [04:15] I am back, still having problems and not sure what to do [04:15] I need help with a simple easy command line. I need help executing it. From what i've read you save it as a .c file. I have no idea what to do next. Any help?? [04:15] I tried both Ark and Xarchiver [04:16] luscious_lewis unrar [04:16] luscious_lewis, do you have the unrar package? [04:16] prince_jammys: i did not remove any of my downloaded packages yet.. thats why they build up to 1.5gb :P [04:16] prince_jammys: okay.. thanks [04:16] concerning installing samba and using samba, i followed this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide and i got this errorhttp://mibpaste.com/6iutAV [04:16] Oh, so I do need something else in addition to the program? No, I don't think I have the unrar package. I'll look for it [04:16] luscious_lewis: I meant what program are you trying to install? [04:16] hi, i want to clone a 250gb (10% used) onto a 160gb hard drive. is this possible? there is only 1 partition. [04:17] The problems I am having are just takes forever to go from Ubuntu logo to Desktop after I updated Ubuntu with 140 updates and 27 security updates included. I am not even sure they all went through [04:17] any ideas? [04:18] guys, about the !clone information from ubottu, will those command copy all downloaded packages or just their names ? [04:19] hotfloppy: just the names === Dandel_ is now known as Dandel [04:19] IdleOne: thanks.. [04:19] hotfloppy: it will create a list of all installed packages. 1 per line [04:19] http://mibpaste.com/NIEUki is the error i got when i tried to install samba. [04:20] the_flying_os: this suggests that you have already have a package manager open. If so, close it. [04:20] e.g. synaptic is open [04:20] Software Center [04:20] where do i go to close package managers? [04:21] the_flying_os: alt+f4? [04:21] blue1: that's not very nice :P [04:21] ubuntu 10.04, I installed sun-java6-plugin, why in firefox, it could not use the java applet plugin from sun? [04:21] the_flying_os: you asked how to close them - that works [04:22] there is no option "enable java" anymore [04:22] in firefox [04:22] i don't see any packet managers open [04:22] !aptfix | the_flying_os [04:22] the_flying_os: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [04:22] anybody know how to get lm-sensors to work on a dell dimension 3000? [04:23] i tried "sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a" and nothing happened [04:23] nexusone: what browser are you using? [04:23] the_flying_os: or you can: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [04:23] it has a celeron processor [04:23] then try to install samba again [04:24] i tried installing samba again by the same command "sudo apt-get install samba smbfs" and the same error appeared [04:24] Blue1, the latest firefox version from ubuntu 10.04 [04:24] nexusone: can you give me a version number please? [04:24] sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock won't hurt anything will it? [04:24] Blue1, Firefox 3.6.6 [04:25] the_flying_os: it wont [04:25] Blue1, the icedtea java6 plugin for java applet does not work for HP iLO web console, only able to show a very small windows [04:25] zelozelos2: sensors detect maybe? [04:26] jimerickson, its not detecting any [04:26] nexusone: it's there -- Edit/Preferences/Content/Enable Java Enable Javascript [04:26] hm, maybe i was wrong. the fuser command is referring to a different file. [04:26] is there any other progs for measuring temp of a celeron processor (dimension 3000)? [04:26] Blue1, I only see Enable Javascript [04:26] nexusone: however I am using a version I d/l from the mozilla site, NOT the ubuntu one. YMMV applies [04:26] hey thanks idleOne, Samba is now installing. I wish I understood the command you showed me. what did that command do exactly: " rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock " [04:26] ok [04:27] the_flying_os: it delete the "lock" file [04:27] what does the lock file do? [04:27] nexusone: let me fire up my test box that has the standard issue on it. [04:27] the_flying_os: ensures that only one prog is accessing something. [04:27] Any particular reason why I'd see folders on a windows machine, but the windows machine wouldn't see my shared ubuntu folders? [04:27] zelozelos2: then i guess you are out of luck [04:27] *one instance [04:27] ok [04:28] the_flying_os: the lock file is created every time sudo is invoked, preventing any other package manager from installing anything at the same time. [04:28] the_flying_os: basically it protects you from you :) [04:28] wow. neat. [04:29] nexusone: you are correct - the ubuntu version does indeed have "enable java" removed - that is not an option -- [04:29] so i was dist-updating and power went out. After a reboot, I had no X. I went in to dpkg --configure -a and it said i was missing a :. Now it's missing some package name.. any ideas? [04:30] ok, maybe a bug [04:30] ** missing package name in /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000 [04:30] I can't PRINT from ubuntu to my printer, but if I can share to the machine that has the printer, that's good enough for me!

[04:44] i think there's a problem with one of the kernel drivers in ubuntu, how would i find the list of changes from 9.04 to 10.04? [04:44] cheater99: for the kernel youll need to just check the upstream kernel changelog [04:44] actually, thats not gonna work because it isnt desktop customization thats messed up here. i just created a new test user who had the same top panel problems (greyed out options to lock things and move them) [04:45] I am getting errors in terminal when I am trying to install stuff, or do system updates like: dpkg: error processing libvcdinfo0 (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [04:45] cheater99: for 2.6.31 to 2.6.32 [04:45] maco: i don't know what that means [04:45] cheater99: kernel.org [04:45] let me have a look === nmartin is now known as paco867 [04:45] maco: but that's not the kernel itself, it's a LLKM [04:45] kernel module, .ko [04:45] and at the bottom of the output it says "errors were encountered while processing: libavuitil49 (etc etc... they are all starting with "lib") [04:47] cheater99: they dont have separate changelogs [04:47] cheater99: the kernel is a single codebase [04:47] maco: oh ok [04:47] maco: my problem is wht the synaptics_i2c driver [04:47] ugh.. mv'n the file has just made more errors in other files.. [04:47] hi why the mouse pointer on ubuntu 10.4 does not change when you chose another pointer [04:47] cheater99: could it also be with xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ? [04:48] maco: no, i don't think so [04:48] i guess now is a good time to back up :( [04:48] how do u check if a particular package is installed? i want to check if i have dchroot and debootstrap packages installed.. thanks [04:48] maco: from what i understand, the synaptics kernel driver exposes /dev/input/eventN and /dev/input/mouseX for some N and X [04:49] maco: the Xorg module reads off those devices [04:49] maco: but the dev's are silent. [04:49] nitstorm: dpkg -l name_of_package, or if unsure of the exact name, dpkg -l | grep something_you_remember [04:49] maco: in contrast, the dev's for my usb mouse work. [04:49] cheater99: ah. well best file a bug with "ubuntu-bug linux" then [04:49] nitstorm: dpkg -l dchroot will show 'ii' in the first column if it's installed. alternatively, ''apt-cache policy dchroot'' [04:49] thanks gdb_ [04:49] An ii at the start of the line = installed === gdb_ is now known as gdb [04:50] thanks prince_jammys [04:50] xangua, thanks. i added the notification area to the panel and now i see my wireless icon... though it still is not connecting to the internet [04:50] Sure thing [04:50] nitstorm: welcome. [04:50] maco: there's a gentoo wiki entry that says if they're silent, either the module is not loaded or the dev is wrong. but the dev isn't wrong and the module is loaded (checked by lsmod) and the only conclusion is that the kernel module is broken. [04:51] hello [04:51] hi [04:51] first time on irc [04:52] bconnor: welcome. [04:52] thanks! [04:52] bconnor: Welcome indeed [04:52] bconnor: Fasten your seatbelts, hope you enjoy your stay [04:53] maco: why would i be looking at 2.6.31->2.6.32? wasn't the kernel a bit older than that in 9.04? [04:53] bonjour :) [04:53] bconnor: waarm welcomes. enjoy your stay!

[04:56] cliff: VLC runs on Linux [04:56] cheater99: could be a kernel code bug too... [04:56] there's no 'kernel code' option. [04:57] cheater99: "linux" is the package. is it asking questions? [04:57] it's an executable file [04:57] hwo do i run it ? [04:57] yes. it's a wizard. [04:57] try it yourself. [04:57] maco: it first asks about the category, now it's asking if it was a regression, and what kind.

[04:58] the_flying_os: doubt it [04:58] cheater99: oh i see. id say "other" for the category [04:58] cheater99: and that yes its a regression (since it used to work) [04:58] too late [04:58] the_flying_os: in nautilus, go - location [04:58] i have vlc installed [04:58] i dont think my version of ubuntu came with nautilus [04:58] already [04:59] the_flying_os: then what are you using¿¿ xubuntu, kubuntu¿¿ [04:59] no, i'm using ubuntu. [04:59] cheater99: well, jeremy will have a look at it and tell you if there's more info he needs [04:59] prince_jammys: why ? [04:59] i just don't know where to find nautilus. sorry. [04:59] cliff: looks to be closed source; doesn't seem trustworthy.

I have a wireless usb adapter that works fine in ubuntu 8.04 but when I use rtai which i need in order to run some apps, the wireless does not work. Is there something I need to do for it to work? thanks in advance [05:03] anyone have a suggestion for a compatible basic sound card? [05:03] realubot, try it [05:04] hdpb, sound blaster 16 :) === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [05:04] codebrainz: Yes, but it would be nice to know whatever it will slow down the interface. It can be hard to notice it while trying. [05:05] realubot, it's easy to try it out, it runs fine on my desktop and laptop [05:05] my netbook can't run anything without sucking [05:06] codebrainz: Ok, how do I remove it afterwards if I don't want to have it? [05:06] realubot, apt-get remove --purge gtk2-engines-murrine (or whatever the package is called) [05:06] codebrainz: was that a serious response? i'm too tired to think but my wife is threatening to make me revert to xp if I don't find one that works for cheap [05:06] http://www.virustotal.com/fr/analisis/b4fccc2ac91cfa4d3aa08f7ac40786fa58337ff401fd1d63faa7597d9d2ffe02-1278734603 [05:06] 0/41 [05:06] some things are worth not sleeping for... ;) [05:07] http://scanner.novirusthanks.org/analysis/47c2e3785938da590ce9c697def5e2da/QnJpdGlzaFRW/ 0/16 [05:07] codebrainz: Ok, as usual then. [05:07] codebrainz: Thanks. [05:07] hdpb: There's something seriously wrong in your relationship o.0 [05:07] hdpb, i've not had a problem with audio among my various machines [05:08] cliff: i don't know what that has anything to do with linux [05:08] cliff: have you simply tried to read the instructions in the web¿¿ it says something like this: extract it, open a terminal and drag it to the terminal [05:08] ......... [05:08] i tried but [05:08] the box currently has a conexant card and apparently, they stopped making drivers with the kernel switch @ lucid release... [05:09] but¿ [05:09] wait :p [05:09] Permission non accordée [05:09] i don't have the permission [05:09] i'm admin [05:09] only one session, mine and i'm admin [05:10] ooh i remember now what i did, right clic to that file> properties> permisions and mark where it says 'execution' cliff [05:10] i'll try :) [05:10] Gerwin: all she cares about is that it works for her... eventually XP boots in a half hour... but she has sound at some point after that ;) [05:10] I'd like to search in my entire filesystem for a file with the characters BK in the middle of the filename. Howto? In terminal would be best [05:10] Hi, I have a quick question. I have a wireless usb adapter that works fine in ubuntu 8.04 but when I use rtai which i need in order to run some apps, the wireless does not work. Is there something I need to do for it to work? thanks in advance [05:11] <_jesse_> tripelb: check out 'locate' [05:11] ohh tank you so much :D [05:11] * tripelb groans at XP booting in one half hour [05:11] thank you xangua :) [05:11] Is it possible to output the audio of my speaker to my microphone? [05:11] tripelb: or find / -name "*BK*" [05:11] hdpb: Considered buying another computer? A crappy one for the wife with XP and a better one to run Ubuntu should do, right? :P [05:11] <_jesse_> true, but locate keeps a database so it's quite a bit faster [05:11] it opened vlc and i'm actually watching bbc1 :p [05:12] gerwin: i have the crappy one - it still doesn't run xp... typing this on my laptop - which i migrated 1st. sound is the only real issue [05:12] hdpb: tried all the drivers [05:12] ? [05:13] Hai all! [05:13] hey :) [05:13] hi [05:13] * SteveThing warns everyone he's had 4 drinks too many.. *kirby dance! <(o.o)< >(o.o)> [05:13] welcome, enjoy your stay [05:13] nitstorm: "all" meaning? [05:14] * Gerwin reminds SteveThing of #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [05:14] hdpb: hardware drivers from system button ? [05:14] sorry... just happy [05:14] hdpb: system->admin->hardware drivers [05:14] anyways, anyone know why RythymBox would remove all all songs from an Ipod after connecting/syncing [05:15] hey you guys..how do i run a program from terminal then be able to close terminal without the process terminating? [05:15] nitstorm: none show up for audio. lspci identifies the card properly- just no driver [05:15] globbing basename standard output follow , searching a database, ARG. _this is re locate command_ -- and I thought it was greping an ls output. I just dont know how to make it go thru everything. Please help. --- I want to find out where I put a file with BK in the middle of it's name._ [05:15] hdpb, can you find the source code for the kernel module? [05:15] hey you guys..how do i run a program from terminal then be able to close terminal without the process terminating? [05:15] <_jesse_> cannonfodder: run it in the background [05:15] <_jesse_> cannonfodder: or as a daemon [05:15] dont know how [05:16] like i said, dont know how [05:16] cannonfodder: add & at the end of a program [05:16] <_jesse_> cannonfodder: what's the command? [05:16] cannonfodder: or install gnome-do and make a keyboard shortcut for it [05:16] I just want to find out where I put a file. This is easy??? [05:16] command is "sudo mdk3 mon0 d -b bl.txt -s 150" [05:16] cannonfodder, nohup maybe [05:16] cannonfodder: or use alt+F2 to run the program [05:16] <_jesse_> cannonfodder: nohup ccommand e.g. [05:16] tripelb, what file? [05:16] command is "sudo mdk3 mon0 d -b bl.txt -s 150" <<<<<<<< [05:16] tripelb, goto console type 'find / name XXXXXX' [05:17] <_jesse_> tripelb: use find, or locate [05:17] tripelb, 'locate filenamehere' [05:17] so & works? [05:17] in Terminal [05:17] i can close terminal? [05:17] <_jesse_> cannonfodder: that might still exit when you close the terminal [05:17] codebrainz: yes - linuxant.com has it for the last one built [05:17] <_jesse_> cannonfodder: use nohup [05:18] cannonfodder: & just backgrounds. its still attached to the terminal process as a child [05:18] im stuck on [error] Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] ((null):0) [05:18] hdpb, you could compile it for your kernel probably [05:18] _jesse_: how to use nohup, jus give an example please [05:18] <_jesse_> nitstorm: e.g. nohup cat file.txt [05:18] nitstorm: nohup your command goes here & [05:18] so anyone have any ideas on how to get around a dpkg parse error from a power failure on a dist-upgrade? [05:18] thanks [05:18] nitstorm: thatll make it so closing the shell doesnt hang up (no h-up, see?) and it doesnt print anymore to the shell (the &) [05:19] maco: _jesse_: thanks guys and thanks cannonfodder: for asking the question [05:19] maco: sweet [05:19] maco: :d makes life easy [05:19] you mean what is the filename Gryllida ? something with BM in the middle of ti. _jesse_ If I knew how I wouldnt ask. I think the filemane would be *BM* or *BM*.htm it's my saved bookmark file from chrome. But I need to look in all the directories. How to do that. I know it's some -d or something. like ls / -d |grep *BM*.* or is it? (the / would start it in / --- maybe it's -r or -s... it's too complex for me. I infoed locate and I cant [05:19] understand it. [05:19] <_jesse_> nitstorm: if you do that it's usually good to redirect stdout and strerr to a file [05:20] _jesse_: no need [05:20] codebrainz, i tried renaming the whole folder giving me problems... i thought it worked for a sec... then it told me it was missing the folder and i should dpkg --configure -a lol [05:20] <_jesse_> maco: but what if you want that info? [05:20] _jesse_, nitstorm: nohup puts the output in a "nohup.out" file in the dir from which you ran it [05:20] Hi, I have a quick question. I have a wireless usb adapter that works fine in ubuntu 8.04 but when I use rtai which i need in order to run some apps, the wireless does not work. Is there something I need to do for it to work? thanks in advance [05:20] <_jesse_> maco: ah right [05:20] it fails when I try it in GUI err nautilus [05:20] _jesse_ : how do u do that [05:20] ? [05:20] nitstorm: you dont need to. its automatic :) [05:21] luckytux_, maybe try recreating it anew with the same perms [05:21] maco: log file viewer? [05:21] <_jesse_> tripelb: here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FindingFiles [05:21] and I need to know the path [05:21] nitstorm: no just a textfile [05:21] nitstorm: if you're in your home dir when you use nohup, you'll get a file called ~/nohup.out [05:21] sorry that's too easy to help me with. going there [05:22] <_jesse_> tripelb: locate -r '\.BM\.' might work [05:22] maco : cool , so nothing extra needed? [05:22] codebrainz: i wouldn't know where to start... [05:22] codebrainz, what's in your /var/lib/dpkg/updates/? [05:22] <_jesse_> tripelb: locate -r '\.*BM\.*' might work [05:22] luckytux_, nothing [05:22] <_jesse_> tripelb: or rather locate -r '/\.*BM\.*/' might work :P [05:22] nitstorm: right [05:22] ya i'll try that then.. [05:22] _jesse_, why the . before BM and no the file doesnt start with BM [05:22] it's in the middle [05:22] <_jesse_> tripelb: it's a regular expression [05:23] <_jesse_> tripelb: is says to search from something...BM....something [05:23] <_jesse_> *for [05:23] why cant I get a general help so I can figure out for myself. That community doc page just doesnt work [05:24] maco: great bud, thanks [05:24] hdpb, find the source code archive (.tar.gz or tar.bz2 probably), extract it with the tar command and read the README and/or INSTALL files [05:24] tripelb, look for the debian reference manual in synaptic [05:24] <_jesse_> tripelb: I gave you help :-/ [05:24] hi o/ [05:24] hdpb, if you have any questions after that, feel free to ask [05:24] <_jesse_> tripelb: or rather locate -r '/.*BM.*/' will work :P [05:24] Hello, When we apply proxy settings system wide through System->Preference->NetWork Proxy do these settings override the http_proxy variable set in bash.bashrc ? [05:24] <_jesse_> tripelb: just tested it [05:24] evening folks, quick question. how can i setup a program to run on startup in ubuntu server. Have looked on Google. No luck. [05:25] hdpb, or just go spend $20 on any other sound card and it'll prolly work straight away :) [05:25] what sound cards [05:26] codebrainz: Which sound card? [05:26] which what sound card? [05:26] any [05:26] For hdpb? [05:26] NilBud: chkconfig? [05:26] codebrainz: i learn by doing but would hate to bork her compy... the risks we take [05:26] Which one does hdpb have [05:26] hdpb, your call [05:26] Hi, I have a quick question. I have a wireless usb adapter that works fine in ubuntu 8.04 but when I use rtai which i need in order to run some apps, the wireless does not work. Is there something I need to do for it to work? thanks in advance [05:26] soadkombucha, conexant iirc [05:27] codebrainz: Ahh. realtek has proprietary drivers that are source only [05:27] soadkombucha: it's a riptide modem/sound deal w/ a conexant chipset [05:27] codebrainz: Never seen conexant drivers [05:27] * Blue1 has no clue what rtai is. [05:27] me either soadkombucha [05:27] Tried doing that on an old computer with conexant couldn't find anything [05:28] soadkombucha: linuxant.com was my liferaft until lucid... [05:28] hdpb, it's a desktop computer? [05:28] codebrainz: yup [05:28] codebrainz, what's in your /var/lib/dpkg/available? [05:28] .. worked it out acpi was diabled in bios *sigh* [05:29] test [05:29] ( i mean extensions were) [05:29] jeffmr: woo hoo? [05:29] hdpb, go to a flea market or recycling place and salvage an old sound card, just about anything else will work (in my experience) [05:30] hdpb: I resuced an old sb live card they work well [05:30] codebrainz: might just have to give it a try! Thanks! [05:30] luckytux_, lots of stuff [05:30] list of installed packages.. [05:30] i'm fubar'd lol [05:30] hdpb, pay shipping and i'll send you 4 compatible cards for free :) [05:31] anyone know why I can't open wicd? [05:31] it says /var/run/wicd/wicd.pid [05:31] luckytux_, prolly do some backup and fresh install, otherwise just wasting your time probably (and i rarely say that) [05:31] codebrainz: Hmm, if you ever decide to do the same with 4 GPU's, let me know ;). [05:31] I'm having issues with lighttpd -- it's telling me it can't bind to port 80. Any suggestions what I can try? [05:31] Gerwin, if 4MB agp cards suit you, their yours [05:31] well.. i'm messing around while i back up lol.... just wasting time till it backs up [05:32] codebrainz: is conexant the same as turtle beach? [05:32] 53 gb over ssh [05:32] codebrainz: may actually have an old card in an ooooooold machine @ church... if not I may take you up on it ;) [05:32] Blue1, no idea [05:32] anyone listening to radio on xmms2 ? [05:32] hdpb, it'll probably work [05:32] codebrainz: I had problems with that card finally trashed it...let me see brb [05:32] codebrainz: I could always use some, you never know, they might come in handy at times [05:32] Blue1 @ hdpb [05:33] jeffmr: wicd-client should do in terminal [05:33] Gerwin: as long as you hold one for me til i can see if there's one around ;) [05:34] anyone know if its possible to run ubuntu on multiple clients booting the root FS from off a NFS? [05:34] MaRk-I, thanks [05:34] hdpb: They aren't soundcards ;) [05:34] codebrainz: turtle beach = cirrus logic - those cards work horribly with ubuntu [05:35] next question - assuming I get sound - how do i wipe xp and make it her new home location? [05:35] Conker, not sure about boot from nfs, but if you do a tftp boot or whatever and then mount the nfs as root, it might work [05:35] MaRk-I, If I am in a channel and it says I can't send to it but I can see everybody else's posts, what does that mean? [05:35] anyone ran into this input device bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/582201 ? I used sudo X -configure to generate a basic config and after adding "Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" to it my mouse is working again but not the keyboard. IIRC when i updated back in june it had broke, just hadn't had time to work on it [05:35] jeffmr: likely that you need to register your nick. [05:35] jeffmr: it means you don't have voice, and that question should be asked in an offtopic room [05:36] jeffmr: some rooms are "voiced" and you have either wait your turn or someone give you voice [05:36] I see [05:36] I think my nick is registered its on the freenode network [05:36] I asked the admin, but haven't gotten an answer [05:37] codebrainz: yeah thats no problem getting it TO boot but the thing i havent tried is booting multiple computers off the same read/write NFS [05:37] thanks [05:37] it would have to be configured for dhcp of course [05:37] Conker, it shouldn't matter, especially if it's different users [05:37] codebrainz: yeah ok, good [05:38] Conker, i believe there is an Ubuntu doc on just this thing (no link) [05:38] Hi, I have a quick question. I have a wireless usb adapter that works fine in ubuntu 8.04 but when I use rtai which i need in order to run some apps, the wireless does not work. Is there something I need to do for it to work? thanks in advance [05:38] codebrainz: ill get back to everyone on that, especially if it dont work :S [05:38] codebrainz: aww, got me hopes up :( [05:38] racecar: what is rtai? amateur radio? [05:39] what do i need to do so i can read and write to a computer on my network that is running on win7 starter? [05:39] Blue1 i'm using it for emc2, cnc software [05:39] racecar: sorry not familiar with that alphabet soup mix [05:40] Conker, aw ok, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto [05:40] the_flying_os: maybe installing samba hang on [05:40] can some one help me i am having problems setting up my hotmail account to evolution :( [05:40] i installed samba. [05:41] the_flying_os: this might help - link to article: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309 [05:41] Blue1 not familar with linux but from what im aware of, I need to use the rtai kernal as it is used for programs that need low latency. the regular kernal has wireless but the rtai does not [05:42] racecar: again -- not familiar with that alphabet soup -- sorry....I have no idea what rtai is -- that's why I asked if it was amateur radio -- that I do know. [05:42] codebrainz: yay :D +rep? [05:42] can some one help me it cant be that hard to setup a hotmail account to evolution [05:43] E: Couldn't find package system-config-samba [05:43] where do i download that package? [05:43] Blue1 - I believe rtai is used in amateur radio. But thanks for the response, I'm going to try other wireless cards [05:43] <_jesse_> the_flying_os: sudo apt-get install samba [05:43] samba is already the newest version. [05:43] i want samba GUI [05:44] racecar: perhaps it is realtime application interface ? [05:44] There any girl here? [05:44] i tried sudo apt-get install system-config-samba [05:44] andre_: of course [05:44] <_jesse_> the_flying_os: that works for me [05:44] racecar, i think you are talking about the RT kernel, which should have no effect on the wireless card. [05:44] Supermatt1000: try these settings http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PiWqEGqL [05:44] andre_: but that has nothing to do with ubuntu technical support [05:44] doesnt work for me. says that i dont have that package [05:44] andre_: so i dont see why you're asking [05:44] <_jesse_> the_flying_os: open up synaptic and see if you can find it [05:44] <_jesse_> the_flying_os: I just ran it with -s though and it found it alright [05:45] were are you from ? [05:45] where is synaptic? [05:45] the_flying_os: the link I sent you, has every step in it -- did you not rtfm? [05:45] andre_: do you have an ubuntu tech support question or not?

[05:45] <_jesse_> the_flying_os: gksu synaptic [05:45] s3r3n1t7 - yes that is correct, but for some reason when i switch to the rt kernel the wireless disappears [05:45] codebrainz: thats precisely what im looking for, thank you so much, /hug [05:45] andre_: and for the record, picking up women is not permitted in #ubuntu-offtopic either, if that was your plan [05:46] is it possible to get Java on 10.04? [05:46] racecar, since it's USB, does dmesg show a record of it being (un)plugged? [05:46] <_jesse_> adamr41: yeah [05:46] Conker, yo [05:46] adamr41: openjdk-6-jre is the package [05:46] Supermatt1000: it should unless your ISP uses different ports [05:46] maco: beat me to the punch - thanks [05:46] !java [05:46] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java.

[05:47] <_jesse_> andre_: pidgin could talk to them [05:47] pop3 [05:47] <_jesse_> andre_: likely anyway [05:47] s3r3n1t7 - dmesg as in using the lsusb command? [05:47] i am following the tutorial you gave me. when i run sudo apt-get install system-config-samba i get "can't find package" [05:47] andre_: emesene works quite nicely too [05:47] and i already installed samba [05:48] racecar, no, quite literally dmesg as in the dmesg command. Plug it in, type that command and it should have a note at the bottom [05:48] <_jesse_> the_flying_os: what version of ubuntu are you running? [05:48] were I can get ? [05:48] the latest version [05:48] <_jesse_> andre_: pidgin? sudo apt-get install pidgin [05:48] andre_: get what?

Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu, replacing !pidgin [05:49] <_jesse_> the_flying_os: it's definitely there, what's you /etc/apt/sources look like? [05:49] andre_: empathy, which is installed by default, can do msn chat just fine [05:49] <_jesse_> andre_: you can use empathy or pidgin [05:49] andre_: try aMSN or eMeSeNe [05:49] guys, maybe his universe isn't enabled? [05:50] andre_:http://www.emesene.org/download.html download the one for ubuntu [05:50] the_flying_os: try this: apt-cache search system-config-samba [05:50] my etc/apt/sources has luicd-partner.list in it [05:50] I am trying emesene [05:50] the_flying_os: I am on 9.10 atm [05:51] it didn't return anything [05:51] the_flying_os, are you trying to access windows shares from ubuntu or using ubuntu to serve windows shares?

[05:52] maco: the java think ubottu linked me to is slightly confusing. [05:52] andre_: xubuntu should be able to run it just fine. [05:52] adamr41, what is confusing? [05:52] adamr41: you need to enable the partner repo from system > Admin > Software Sources. then sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [05:53] adamr41: you need to enable the partner repo from system > Admin > Software Sources. then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [05:53] IdleOne: alright, I'll try that. [05:53] MaRk-I, thanks for trying but i got to get to bed [05:53] night [05:53] Supermatt1000: maybe hotmail bloking 3rd party programs... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingHotmailWithEvolution [05:53] adamr41: sun has certified openjdk (the openjdk-6-jre package) as being up to their standards, so it *should* work. if for some reason it doesnt, you need to enable the partner repo (system -> administration -> software sources) and then install sun-java6-jre [05:53] the_flying_os: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/system-config-samba might help [05:54] oops old one [05:54] Download for Debian or Ubuntu? [05:54] blue1 trying it [05:54] maco, trust me, no it doesn't work as it should in more then just one case. [05:54] Ubuntu?

[05:56] codebrainz... i'm sorry i have no idew what to do after i get to 'connect to server' [05:56] bbl [05:56] adamr41: the 3rd party tab [05:56] racecar, so it's detecting that it's gettin plugged in. I'm assuming you still want this to work? Then i'll do some googling [05:56] Ipod Nano 5th Gen, RythymBox, 10.04x64, Sync = Blank Ipod.... ideas? [05:57] maco, i know OfBIZ still won't run on openjdk for one [05:57] IdleOne: Only thing that looks remotely similar to what you described is the unsupported updates box. [05:57] <_jesse_> SteveThing: no, but I like the compactness of that :P [05:57] adamr41: no, not proposed [05:57] adamr41: what version of ubuntu you running? [05:57] the_flying_os, service type: windows share, share=the share name, server=ip or host of windows computer, username=windows username, connect [05:57] adamr41: the third party sources tab should be pre-populated with a reference to the canonical partner repo [05:57] IdleOne: I'm running 10.04. Just upgraded from Jaunty a few days ago. [05:57] adamr41: my bad man, been a while since I used it - I'll shut up now. [05:57] _jesse_, locate failed BUT I found it, just where I thought it was. It was ignored because *I* didnt put a .html at the end because I thought it would be placed there. Oops. thanks. [05:57] hello! [05:58] maco: Aha! Found them. They're all for Jaunty though. I'm running Lucid. Will that be a problem? [05:58] adamr41: should be a line that looks like http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner [05:58] adamr41: just update the line to say lucid [05:58] <_jesse_> tripelb: ah :) well read over the man page for locate for next time :) [05:59] adamr41: im guessing you installed jaunty and upgraded a few times?

[06:07] ennui, dd if=/dev/sr0 of=./dvd.iso [06:07] <_jesse_> ennui: well read the man page I think it's something like dd if=/dev/sro of=something.iso [06:07] s3r3n1t7 IdleOne: Well.. it did something. I'm not sure what though. [06:08] adamr41: that should of given you a url, copy it and give it to us please [06:08] adamr41, the first 2 commands install a program called pastebinit, which allows you to easily pastebin stuff from commandline. The second command will give you a link. Can you please paste that link in here?

[06:11] Nothing is using port 80, magnetron. [06:12] That's the weird part. [06:12] babu__, which service provider? [06:12] adamr41: looks good. now I need you to sudo apt-get update [06:12] tata docomo...in India [06:12] IdleOne, the repo for wine is from karmic, and the backports are jaunty. [06:12] lhavelund๛ weird. maybe check the lighttpd irc channel? [06:12] magnetron: not much response in there [06:12] s3r3n1t7: they are # [06:13] magnetron: I've found some interesting Debian bugs with similar issues [06:13] magnetron: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564556 [06:13] IdleOne: Alright, next step please. [06:13] IdleOne, i know, but they're in there for a reason (wine is, at least). He'll probably want to upgrade this soonish [06:13] adamr41: ok now sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy [06:14] s3r3n1t7: yeah we will get to that afterwards if adamr41 wants to update the wine repo. [06:14] I am having problem installing wiithon from .deb, it says dependency not met libgtk2.0-0 yet when i try apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 it says that it is installed and of the latest version [06:14] abhi_nav: have u got the ans..

[06:21] where and how do you set the http https proxy information for a headless server config so that aptitude dist-upgrade gets the setting? it is pulling through the proxy fine however the FLASH wget install does not have the http proxy set ..??? [06:21] lhavelund: apparmor ?? [06:21] the ubuntu cant get read my cd rom . Why ? [06:21] hotfloppy: that should be it yes [06:21] what is a good and cheap domain name hoster? [06:21] choomra: some cards are slow to realize they've been unpaired with the wireless ap, you might want to consider making scripts for associating and grabbing a new ip when you resume from suspend just to speed it up [06:21] greezmunkey: What about it? [06:21] babu__, have you talked to 'higher' authrity face to face? I am not talking about call center [06:21] !offtopic | hanasaki [06:21] hanasaki: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[06:22] abhi_nav: yes [06:22] greezmunkey: I highly doubt that... hmm [06:22] babu__, :( [06:22] hotfloppy: sudo apt-get -d package maybe? [06:22] lhavelund: just a thought. [06:22] lhavelund๛ try "service lighttpd stop; service lighttpd start" as root. beyond that, i'm dumstruck [06:22] greezmunkey: Stopping it didn't make a difference... [06:22] IdleOne: and then i can install the packagename wihout internet connection ?

[06:23] hotfloppy: correct dpkg -i package [06:23] hotfloppy: ok, I have never used the -d so wasn't sure [06:24] babu__, nothing. [06:24] is flash still in the repos for 64 bit lucid? [06:24] kitty_: wat is meant by pastebin link...i don't know [06:24] IdleOne: 'dpkg -i package' to install ? can i just use 'apt-get install package' ? [06:25] hotfloppy: I am not sure if apt-get searches the cache for the .deb [06:25] babu__: http://paste.ubuntu.com you can copy.paste large ammounts of text and send the link to other people so they can see without flooding the whole channel [06:25] someone else might know more [06:25] s3r3n1t7 - thanks for your help. im going to try other wireless cards [06:25] IdleOne: thanks.. [06:25] hotfloppy dpkg -i is for if you have the package apt-get install is if you dont [06:26] hotfloppy: sure thing [06:26] if you point dpkg -i at a .deb file it will try to, if its in your /var/cache/apt/archives you can of course directly point it at it there [06:26] kitty_: regarding wat i have to paste..........is it enough to mention my provider and problem [06:26] IdleOne, No. Apt-get does not search the cache directly, it'll first try to locate it in the repo and give you an error if it can't find it. [06:27] magnetron: got it. [06:27] s3r3n1t7: thought so, thank you [06:27] if you want to install alot of packages at once like openoffice 3.2 go to the directory and use dpkg -i *.deb [06:27] Blackweb: means if ive already download the package via 'apt-get -d install package', i cant install it without internet connection via 'apt-get install package' ? [06:27] lhavelund๛ how? [06:27] whatever you want to put in there as long as you put in the output from dmesg|tail and lsusb after you plug the modem back in [06:27] Can anyone help me install backported wifi drivers? [06:27] hotfloppy: IdleOne, No. Apt-get does not search the cache directly, it'll first try to locate it in the repo and give you an error if it can't find it. [06:27] magnetron: I changed some stuff in the config. [06:27] bribroder, what make/model of NIC? [06:27] hotfloppy: so you will use dpkg -i packagename [06:28] hotfloppy, if the file is in the repo, then you CAN copy it to the cache and use apt-get install. However, if it's NOT in the repo, then you can NOT use apt. === STiK is now known as DancesWithGoats [06:28] SteveGriff, Atheros AR8132, the drivers I need to use are in the jaunty modules but they don't seem to show up in apt [06:28] hotfloppy: if you downloaded it already and have the package on your computer you should be able to install it without a connection === igneel is now known as Igneel [06:28] ** SteveThing, Atheros AR8132, the drivers I need to use are in the jaunty modules but they don't seem to show up in apt [06:29] is it an atheros card or DLink? [06:29] atheros [06:29] one sec [06:30] s3r3n1t7: yeap.. i know about that.. so, lets say the package is on the repo and i use '-d' to download it to cache, disconnect from internet connection and install it via 'apt-get install package', will it work? *Blackweb already answer the question.. thanks* [06:30] briboder, ubuntu version? [06:30] SteveThing, 10.04 i686 [06:30] k [06:30] magnetron: Another issue, however. lighttpd reports it starts just fine, but it doesn't run. nothing in ps aux D: [06:31] lhavelund๛ clear all pid files and try again [06:31] Where are pid files stored? [06:31] lhavelund๛ not sure. [06:31] Rebooting it. :P [06:32] bribroder, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty [06:32] hotfloppy; Alright, ya that might work, but i've never tried it, usually I'd just change my working directory to where the packages are then use the dpkg command [06:32] bribroder, then reboot and try again [06:32] magnetron: no change. [06:32] kitty_: i downloaded the package from launchpad (says it's comiled for karmic) and the control file with its dependencies is http://paste.ubuntu.com/461451/ , does a straight up "dpkg -i" give the same error (the depencency in question is listed as libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.16) [06:33] SteveThing, Cannot find that package; I have the backports repositories enabled [06:33] i'm not running karmic [06:33] bribroder, universe and multiverse reps enabled? [06:33] SteveThing, yup, everything except source code [06:34] bribroder, hmm... [06:34] even though I'm sure no one remembers or cares , The black screen after post was due to a SCSI card loosing its config and hard locking the boot process . a simple "check consistency " on the volume was all that was needed (dell lsi 943 ultra 160 dual chan) [06:34] SteveThing, that module shows up for you? [06:34] bribroder, desktop, laptop, or netbook (+make/model)? === DancesWithGoats is now known as STiK [06:35] SteveThing, Eee PC 1008HA (netbook) [06:35] and then I went back to drinking profusely [06:35] bribroder, i'm using 10.04 netbook remix on my asus netbook and everything worked fine [06:35] bribroder, have you tried 10.04 NBR? everything should work out of the box with that version [06:36] i know it's a PITA to reinstall... but linux isn't known for easy [06:36] whats pita? [06:36] SteveThing, using netbook remix also; the AR8132 uses the ATL1C driver, which they took out of karmic and lucid [06:36] fridgerator, Slackware Linux [06:36] bribroder, kk, lemme check me notes [06:37] fridgerator: type of bread. also a pain in a certain place.

[06:39] greezmunkey: is 9 only enough to use as a dial prefix [06:39] babu__: you know the number to dial for service? [06:39] SteveThing, installed successfully [06:39] kitty_: number means wat.... [06:39] babu__: if you are not behind a pbx, then leave that entry blank [06:40] bribroder, if that doesn't work try apt-get remote wicd and apt-get install network-mananger-gnome [06:40] greezmunkey: pbx means,,,, [06:40] bribroder, IdleOne is either the anointed or self appointed kill-joy of this chan , you're going to have to find a font for innuendo [06:40] hi all [06:40] remove* [06:40] babu__: private branch exchange, a phone system like businesses, offices use.

[06:41] babu__๛ you will need to ask your phone provider what the dial prefix is [06:42] bribroder, it should auto-detect after reboot [06:42] babu__: we're looking for the phone number to dial for your isp [06:42] holy shit people leave the boy alone [06:42] gprajeesh try a different mouse [06:42] hi steve [06:42] SteveThing, ok I'll give it a shot :) [06:42] kop: pointing out your dislike for me is not reason enough for me to take action [06:42] gprajeesh, hi [06:42] i tried returned "sudo smbpasswd -a username" and was asked to write a new password but my keyboard 'stopped working' on that line and i couldn't see what i was typing or even how many characters I was typing. is that normal?

[06:46] kitty_: k ..tell now [06:46] babu__: 'apt-get install wvdial' if you havn't already, then open and edit '/etc/wvdial.conf' set the "Modem = /dev/ttyACM0" line [06:47] bribroder, what type of router are you using and what type of authentication method? (PSK-WPA2, WEP, etc?) [06:47] !games > Thalone [06:47] Thalone, please see my private message [06:47] gprajeesh, go to System->Hardward Drivers and try the unused synaptics driver [06:47] kitty_: k..then [06:47] or type a sudo apt-get update and do it again [06:47] the_flying_os: you have some other issue then [06:48] kayboo [06:48] babu__: you'll need to ask your service representative what the access number is to dial and put that in the phone line [06:48] hey [06:48] bribroder, wicd may or may not work... you may need to use gnome's drivers instead [06:48] IdleOne: ty [06:48] for example, alltell uses #777, so my "Phone = #777" [06:48] bribroder, debian + atheros != good mix [06:48] hey === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out [06:49] once you got the file set, you can 'wvdial' and see what it complains about [06:49] SteveThing, home network is WPA2, but obviously will need to deal with WEP and WPA as well [06:49] bribroder, what type of router? hopefully not DLink [06:49] SteveThing, yeah, I've been told atheros is like an anus on your elbow [06:50] SteveThing, Linksys 300N or so [06:50] bribroder, and do you have the SSID broadcast enabled? [06:50] babu__: http://www.tatadocomo.com/gprs-faqs.aspx [06:50] Steve will that solve the mouse issue [06:50] babu__: scroll all the way to the bottom, it says access number is *99# [06:50] bribroder, i.e. can your NIC see your network or do you have to connect to a hidden network [06:51] messenagers on ubuntu can anyone help [06:51] babu__: so there you go, wvdial should beable to create a ppp connection to your isp, you seem to have all the other information needed, pebkac [06:51] Hi Kitty [06:52] pebkac xD [06:52] SteveThing, just checking the model, it's a Linksys WRT-300N v1.1 [06:52] SteveThing, and SSID is broadcast [06:53] can ant one help me on downloading things on ubuntu i cant seem to figure it out [06:53] gprajeesh, It should [06:53] bribroder: no spaces or ampersands in SSID, right? (ampersands can do wierd stuff) [06:53] kayleen, things ? a little more specific [06:53] bribroder, i sent you a private message [06:53] kayleen: download what? programs go to sowftware center or synaptic package manager [06:54] Problem: flash-plugin+10.04x64 = choppy/unpredicatable performance on mouseover [06:54] SteveThing, gotcha--this link suggests the jaunty module which doesn't seem to exist anymore [06:54] greezmunkey, no, the SSID is one lowercase word [06:54] games and messangers [06:55] I also can't seem to get passed the download agreement page on the atheros drivers link [06:55] !empathy | kayleen [06:55] kayleen: Empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME. Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu, replacing !pidgin [06:55] kitty_: k...where i have to give the dial prefix in wvdial conf [06:55] kayleen, welcome to linux! what are you trying to do this time? download something? [06:56] bribroder, new PM [06:57] just games and i tried installing a anti virus and it wouldnt let me i cant figure out how to install or download the only thing it let me install was abobe flash player [06:57] kitty_: k...where i have to give this dial prefix in wvdial conf [06:57] SteveThing, that jaunty module definitely used to exist, that's how I got it working before [06:58] bribroder, talk to me in PM please [06:58] I am installing ubuntu for first time. I have a Intel Core i7. When I choose to download the 64-bit version the file is "10.04-desktop-amd64" I'm assuming that is for a AMD processor. I found the link to alternative downloads, not sure which one is right for me. [06:59] how-do [06:59] kayleen: go to software center and look in the games section, antivirus well not really need one "yet", and you just can't install programs or executables like you're used to in windows [07:01] kitty_: r u there [07:02] okay thank u [07:03] mitchbones: amd64 is the right one for 64-bit (it just refers to the 64-bit x86 instructions which were developed by AMD). The benefits of x64 bit are very minor and there are a few extra potential headaches. I would recommend regular 32-bit for a new user (and most users actually) [07:03] why is it Rythymbox on 10.04 wipes all music on my Ipod Nano? [07:03] when i sync [07:03] thune3, tyvm! [07:04] babu__: Phone = *99# [07:05] SteveThing: I'd just assume that since that music isn't authorized to play on rythmbox, that It cannot be added back to your library, so Rythmbox replaces it with its own data, which is probably nothing at this time. [07:05] Hi all guys, and good W.E. [07:05] adamr41, odd. I don't have any music from iTunes store in my library [07:06] SteveThing: what about on your nano? [07:06] adamr41, same deal [07:06] SteveThing: Weird.. I'll google around for you. See what I can find. :) [07:07] get a better mp3 player - one that isnt made by a draconian hypercapitalistic company [07:07] I can't seem to start lighttpd. I run the init script, but it never starts. What do? === SlidingHorn_out is now known as slidinghorn [07:07] there is a tool to use native FW of 10.04 (ufw) with a GUI ? [07:07] how do I express a logical "and" in regular expression? [07:07] && [07:07] i believe [07:08] for example, I'd like to search for packages containing both the words "chm" and "viewer" in apt-cache search [07:08] Roy_: and fw is firewall or firmware? [07:08] at least thats in C [07:08] Roy_: Gufw? [07:08] Roy_, gufw [07:08] crab234: apt-cache search foo bar [07:08] crab234: apt-cache search chm | grep view [07:08] adamr41, i tried google already... just thought someone might have some experience with it [07:08] !ufw | Roy_ [07:08] Roy_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [07:08] how can I start to troubleshoot where my mysql instance is failing? I just rebooted the server and mysql is running but says it doesnt recognize my root username/password. I attempted to run "/usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/home/database/prod/my.cnf --basedir=/usr --datadir=/home/database/prod/ " because that is where my stuff lives... any ideas? [07:08] sorry guys ... "ufw" , native firewall in 10.04 [07:08] Roy_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gufw-simple-gui-for-ufw-uncomplicated-firewall.html [07:08] Roy_: firestarter [07:09] Roy_: but why you need a firewall? [07:09] iceroot: thank you [07:09] ActionParsnip: thank you [07:10] Hi. I'm having a few issues removing a package from my system. apt-get remove, apt-get autoremove and apt-get purge do not seem to be able to remove the package. [07:10] @all thanks! I don't need firewall but I studing a guide for linux and this time is time for firewall. 8-) [07:10] PvtManiac: what package, what output? [07:10] PvtManiac: can you use a pastebin to give the outputs and the command you have tried [07:10] ActionParsnip, Sure. One moment [07:10] Roy_: if you are study firewalls, dont use ufw, use iptables [07:10] anyone know what the purpose of Ubuntu is? [07:11] http://interwebs.pastebin.org/388153 [07:11] most distros have a purpose... I.E. lightweight, penetration testing, clustering, etc.. [07:11] SteveThing: to give a simple platform for users to approach Linux from [07:12] !tab > Roy_ [07:12] Roy_, please see my private message [07:12] !bot > Roy_ [07:12] ActionParsnip, then why is it so difficult to use for a newbie? (you name rox btw) [07:12] Roy_, welcome :) [07:13] SteveThing: (thanks), its hard because its a new OS with a completely different setup but Ubuntu aims to make the transition as nice as possible but you can't please them all [07:13] SteveThing: have a look at other distris so see that ubuntu is easy [07:13] what causes group tp change on an nfs-mounted sharepoint? [07:13] iceroot: i'd say a lot of others are equally easy, ubuntu just seems to make the most noise [07:14] etyrnal: mount options [07:14] I think ubuntu positions itself in particular as a windows-alternative distribution [07:14] ActionParsnip/iceroot, Ubuntu has been out for quite some time now. and I have looked at other distros. they all have similar issues... nothing works out of the box without major command line tweaking [07:14] ActionParsnip, if i show You the line from the sfatb, might You be able to offer some advice? [07:14] ActionParsnip: the others dont have nice tools for installing restricted things, mostly the dont have a metapackage, also they are using old software (lenny) [07:14] fstab [07:14] SteveThing: it will with time [07:14] the best success i've had is with DamnSmallLinux [07:15] PvtManiac: ls -l /usr/share/openqrm/etc/openqrm-server.conf [07:15] Hey how compatible is mac book pro for ubuntu? [07:15] iceroot: depends no the distro, gentoo has some awesomeness and emerge is great [07:15] PvtManiac: assuming you have sudo privleges in the shell, does usr/share/openqrm/etc/openqrm-server.conf exist or have funky permissions? [07:15] ActionParsnip, agreed [07:15] kitty_: it asks for username and password....but both are empty....wat should i give [07:15] etyrnal: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [07:15] iceroot, thune3, I've checked that already. The file does not exist. [07:15] ActionParsnip: i dont think a "newbie" want a rolling release distri basd on source-code [07:16] ActionParsnip, thanks will check [07:16] iceroot: its just a different way to manage a distro, suse and mandriva are also as easy imho [07:16] PvtManiac: sudo touch /usr/share/openqrm/etc/openqrm-server.conf && sudo apt-get remove --purge openqrm [07:16] iceroot, touch: cannot touch `/usr/share/openqrm/etc/openqrm-server.conf': No such file or directory [07:17] ActionParsnip/iceroot, I've had issues with Asus netbooks, Dell Optiplex towers, and my gaming rig. hardware varying from well-established to archaic. [07:17] ActionParsnip: apt-get > yast [07:17] kitty_: pls reply [07:17] ActionParsnip, maybe has to do with suid flag [07:17] iceroot, truth [07:17] iceroot: al works equally fine here [07:17] ActionParsnip, have you tried a distro upgrade from yast... total PITA if something doesn't mix well [07:17] SteveThing: i always buy 100% compatible hardware and havent had a single issue [07:18] SteveThing: my computer use is very basic, chat and browse o I get few issues [07:18] SteveThing: normally asus stuff is the best you can get for linux, they have also linux drivers for most of there things [07:18] so* [07:18] SteveThing: general Linux kernel hardware support is somewhat offtopic. [07:18] ActionParsnip, tha defeats the purpose of Ubuntu, doesn't it? It should be a working OS for "any user" with "any modern hardware" [07:18] SteveThing: i use xpud mostly these days, super fast and light [07:19] ActionParsnip, You directed me to NTFS, i was asking about nfs -- definitly not the same [07:19] SteveThing: true but i avoid issues by buying smart [07:19] etyrnal: oh, sorry. my bad [07:19] PvtManiac: sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/openqrm/etc && sudo touch /usr/share/openqrm/etc/openqrm-server.conf && sudo apt-get remove --purge openqrm [07:19] mneptok, sorry... just get annoyed with Ubuntu.. didn't mean to cross the distro/base gray line [07:19] iceroot, that somewhat worked, got past the file does not exist error. Now it's just complaining about a bin file that cannot be executed [07:20] How can I import bookmarks from Firefox 3.6.6. to Epiphany 2.30.2? [07:20] PvtManiac: i cant guess error messages, so use pastebin [07:20] SteveThing: i find it a lot bloated but i guess its to appeal to most users and be compatible with a lot of hardware out of the box [07:20] SteveThing: get annoyed with hardware manufacturers that do not release specs and do not release Linux drivers. and discuss that annoyance in #ubuntu-offtopic. [07:20] iceroot, right, I was about to. Question though, it was not a successful install anywho, is it possible to just remove it from a package list somewhere? [07:21] how would one "rerun" ./configure for a source code that is already installed? I'm trying to avoid doing a fresh install of mplayer. but i need it to recognize the x264 codex [07:21] ActionParsnip: you have distris which dont want to use nonfree firmware, nonfree drivers and so on (debian) so its hard for beginners to get hardware working, ubuntu doesnt care much about that "everything has to be free" [07:21] anyone know why you can [07:21] anyone know why you can't just dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb to create a usb live cd from an iso? [07:21] PvtManiac: its not a good idea to maipulate that database [07:22] iceroot, that is EXACTLY my problem(s) [07:22] iceroot, I figured that. :/ Here's the pastebin: http://interwebs.pastebin.org/388160 [07:22] SteveThing: but its more a manufacture probleem [07:22] bribroder: why not use unetbooting or usb-creator-gtk [07:22] SteveThing: creative xi fi was a very big and ugly fight with linux (32bit) [07:23] iceroot, i sent you a PM [07:23] bribroder: you can do it that way with the img file for UNE [07:23] SteveThing: lets use the mainchat [07:23] ActionParsnip, I've used and loved netbooin in the past, but it's an extra step, and they both mess up the bootloader [07:23] babu__, did you open that webpage i gave you? [07:23] babu__: http://www.tatadocomo.com/gprs-faqs.aspx [07:23] babu__, scroll all the way to the bottom and read [07:23] iceroot, main chat? [07:24] PvtManiac: seems to be a very strange postrm script [07:24] kitty_: ya there also both username and password are empty...my qn is shall i leave empty the username and password as it is [07:25] PvtManiac: i dont get why it wants to start the program when using --purge [07:25] it tells you to leave them blank, so i'd LEAVE THEM BLANK [07:25] PvtManiac: the installation was working fine? [07:25] have you tried running wvdial yet? [07:25] hello [07:25] iceroot, it is. And it's a product in which wasn't even fully installed. There's multiple steps to the program, and it didn't even get past step 1, thus why I wanted to go into the apt package list, and manually remove it. [07:26] can someone help me out with setting up a user account with root access [07:26] PvtManiac: sudo dpkg -l openqrm === administrator is now known as Guest93482 [07:27] Souldemon: you mean that he can use sudo [07:27] kitty_: reply [07:27] iceroot, http://interwebs.pastebin.org/388162 [07:27] it for me to run under root. i been using a lived cd and just now installed to my HD. [07:27] I get an errror message at startup which says that the system fails to start daemon winbind. Can anyody help? [07:27] PvtManiac: i have never seen pF before [07:27] and when i use WICD network manager i will not let me install it because i dont have access [07:28] !sudo | Souldemon [07:28] Souldemon: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [07:28] iceroot, I do not know what pF is either. I'm not even sure what the characters at the beginning of that one line means.

KDENLIVE won't use it unless you compile it yourself [09:02] How do I download hotmail in Evolution. I googled how to and the instructions look for a package called hotway which does not exist. Has it changed in 10.04? [09:02] usacomputertec, which version? works here for me [09:03] could someone help me with ubuntu? I have some problems to roll back my ubuntu to the initial status [09:03] According to everywhere on the internet the problem lies with a legal problem that Ubuntu can't put certain things in the package they have for h264 [09:03] crab234: Your audio card is special. It needs npviewer.bin. I do not know much about that. -- I cannot help you.

[09:04] bazhang that's what I'm trying to do [09:04] for Ubuntu 9.10 [09:04] usacomputertec, do what? [09:04] bazhang the instructions at that link [09:04] crab234: in the "input devices" maybe if you mute the Stereo one... think mono is the one that works better [09:04] bullgard: that's okay, I'll try googling some more. THANK YOU for your help [09:05] bazhang according to every forum I've found following those instructions is my only way to make KDENLIVE do what I want.

[09:07] so bazhang I guess what my question is, is where is this x264 folder (instead of the file) and how do I remove it and replace it with the file. [09:07] usacomputertec: did you get the git? [09:07] MaRk-I ya but I think that's what screwed it up [09:07] Guys, why Skype can use internet connection, but other applications can't? [09:08] blocked ports by ISP? [09:08] well if that screwed up id didnt create any x64 folder [09:08] !who [09:08] 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 :) [09:08] MaRk-I: I muted the Stereo and recorded some sound. I still hear the music I was playing while I was recording [09:08] Hi all! Question: I use sticky notes applet, can I have always my note on desktop also when i click on my desktop? [09:09] MaRk-I: it looks like both of those input are getting sound from the output device for some reason. And I don't see any input from my microphone :( [09:09] Everything seems is ok. I type $sudo poff and $pon dsl-provider. After dioung it, the conection works normally [09:10] crab234: I think you have "simultaneous output to internal audio" instead of "internal analog audio" (something like that yours may vary) [09:12] I just woder why only Skype can get internet [09:12] MaRk-I: is that a well-known problem? lol sigh. I have to dual-boot to Windows when I want to use microphone [09:12] /exit/ei [09:12] crab234: it's not a problem or bug... just a new feature ;^) [09:13] MaRk-I: right of course ;) I give up for the night...

You are proberly not going to find any info on cpu ussage by checking out the xorg.conf, the X logs Might give a bit more info [10:08] any ideas why burning an iso with brasero is not working? [10:08] need help with lvm please [10:09] windows7 [10:09] vikas, you just can't ~ windows don't start anyother system beside windows. the only option you have is to start grub from the win7 bootloader then load ubuntu [10:09] rebirth: when using it select the slowest burning speed [10:10] Hi, what command will install, run, and set to run-at-startup an SSH server? Preferably this would run by default on port 5900 without any further configuration. Thanks. [10:10] how to display all hardware disks? [10:10] Dr_Willis oh my video card is GeForce 9300 GE [10:10] how can I simulate the key press of X86 multimedia key such as play/pause/next ... by command line ? [10:10] boon: you would have to edit the ssh configs [10:10] MaRk-I: thanks [10:10] !ssh | boon [10:10] boon: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[10:11] panda599: you have installed the nvidia restricted drivers via the system -> admin -> hardware drivers tool ? If not - that may be why your cpu ussage is so high === sullen_sultan is now known as tingtong [10:11] panda599: and the nvidia-settings tool can generate a xorg.conf file for you onvce you get those drivers installed [10:11] win 7 bootloader [10:11] Dr_Willis ok, i go to do it, thanks ;) [10:11] wildbat, well win7 bootloder is not here i am starting win7 from grub2 [10:11] !sshd [10:12] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH.

[10:12] hi [10:12] how to display all hardware disks? [10:12] raven_: you mean like 'sudo fdisk -l ' ? [10:12] anyone know how i can get cpu scaling to work on ubuntu - i have an ICH-4 chipset, but it doesn't seem to be working and my laptop constantly runs hot with the fan on [10:12] vikas, that's the most logical way to dual boot [10:12] wildbat, i want win7 bootloader back and want to start ubuntu from that === rene is now known as Guest15698 [10:13] Dr_Willis, yes but this gives me only one disk [10:13] Dr_Willis, the fist one [10:13] ok what about a simple, low involvement configuration, & lightweight vncd? You see, I am directing someone who is not tech savvy to set up a server which I can administer and configure remotely, so complex client configuration is fine. [10:13] Dr_Willis i see ;) [10:13] vikas, i said it already ~ you can't have win7 bootloader to boot ubuntu ~ the best you can do is have win7 bootloader to load grub/grub2 and start ubuntu there [10:13] jibs, ich4 [10:13] I need help! I normally join to ubuntu via this javachat. http://unciclopediaf.tripod.com But this time it doesn't work. Can anyone check if it works or is it my problem please? thanks [10:14] vikas, that's the way wubi boot [10:14] how old is this thing [10:14] panda599: i only have a xorg.conf on my nvidia systmems that i set up twinview on. Other then that. no xorg.conf needed [10:14] vot, yeah [10:14] * Dr_Willis has to pointout that going to 'java irc chat' can get you set where you are part of a BOT network attack. [10:14] * Dr_Willis suggests NOT going to any sort of 'java irc chat' to test stuff out [10:15] Dr_Willis how i know, which drivers was installed ? i show nvidia [10:15] wildbat, i have an application which can get back boot loader but what the problem is cant start ubuntu just shows window7 option [10:15] panda599: system -> admin -> hardware drivers - I tell it to install the reccomended one. and then reboot after it installs them [10:15] Dr_Willis ok thanks [10:15] well i have stil problem in my terminal [10:16] vikas, of coz ~ windowsdon't allow that ~ you need win tool is edit it to load the grub [10:16] vikas: http://port25.technet.com/archive/2006/10/13/Using-Vista_2700_s-Boot-Manager-to-Boot-Linux-and-Dual-Booting-with-BitLocker-Protection-with-TPM-Support.aspx [10:16] i cant able to type any commands in my terminal [10:17] Dr_Willis it say "version 173" [10:17] vikas, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#With_Windows_via_EasyBCD_and_NeoGRUB [10:18] Dr_Willis, there must be hdb und hdc also but i only get hda1-3 with fdisk -l [10:18] just do the first guide with easy bcd [10:18] install linux [10:18] dump boot sector with dd [10:18] install windows [10:19] use easybcd to chainload grub [10:19] done [10:19] can any one tell me how to rectify my problem i cant able to type any commands in my terminal my terminal is totaly blank [10:19] wildbat, ya i used easybcd but cant start ubuntu [10:20] raven_: actually most drives are 'sdXX' thse days. You have 3 different hard drives then? or 1 hard drive with several parittions [10:20] vikas, you need neogrub or grub4dos too ~ read up the link [10:20] ok [10:20] bihari: xterm works or not? [10:20] Dr_Willis, three hard drives [10:20] dont listen to wildbad [10:20] no === KayAteChef is now known as K[a]yAteChef [10:20] use the proper grub [10:20] sweetpi: +vot: nice [10:20] with its bootsector dumped [10:21] raven_: has the system ever seen them? if Fdisk -l, isent showing them. theres somthing odd going on. [10:21] when i used lt + f2 i got small terminal [10:21] Dr_Willis i come back (i reboot) [10:21] i just completed burning the disc at the slowest speed, but it is still blank [10:21] Dr_Willis, hdb for example is mounted [10:21] hi, I just got my gf's ipod, and now im looking for at program to use with this ipod - does anyone know a good one? [10:21] alt+ f2 i got small terminal [10:21] raven_: so you do have hdb1 mounted and are accessing it now? [10:21] !ipod | Morten_ [10:21] Morten_: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [10:21] Dr_Willis, right [10:21] although there is clearly something on the disc when i look at it physically [10:21] cool thanks Dr_Willis! [10:21] alt + f2 then i have type xterm = got a small terminal [10:22] there are 2 one is gtkpod the other will show up with a apt-cache search ipod that one i felt was better [10:22] raven_: that is weird then. Even weidre that its still 'hdb' and not sdb [10:22] Tone ? [10:22] bihari: so xterm is working. gnome-terminal seems broken. [10:22] Dr_Willis, ? then? [10:22] Dr_Willis, three ide drives [10:22] yah [10:22] bihari: try making a new user. see if the issue affexts them also. [10:22] how? to make a new user? [10:23] bihari: 'sudo adduser billgates' :) then see if you canlogin as billgates and see his gnome-terminal is also broken [10:23] vot, inspire me if you can get win7 bootloader to load grub2 in a non-ntfs partition [10:23] Dr_Willis: I pointed this out to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+question/60506, However, I don't know how he can change that setting as he is unable to start terminal... [10:23] if 'billgates' works - then that shows that its some sort of gnome setting for your other user thast is the problem [10:24] wildbat, your just dumping the grub mbr [10:24] thats it [10:24] it loads the vista bootloader then chainloads the normal grub mbr [10:24] you see the grub menu just like it booted normally [10:24] nop same issue [10:25] Dr_Willis, same issue i made a new user but stil when i open gnome-terminal [10:25] nuthing happen [10:26] bihari: start a xterm, run 'gnome-terminal' and look for error messages perhaps. [10:26] Dr_Willis it run well, thanks ;) [10:26] bihari: sounds like some system wyde gnome setting/file is messed up [10:27] panda599: you must of totally overlooked that first bootup. where there was a popup message about the video drivers. [10:27] Dr_Willis, well terminal is working if i am login through my other user acount that just now i made [10:27] panda599: installing nvidia druives is the first thing i do on a new install. [10:27] bihari: Huh? [10:27] bihari: Dr_Willis So I found where your personal settings (for gnome-terminal) are: ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default. If you changed preferences it should be there [10:28] Dr_Willis ok i see ;) thanks ;) [10:28] ./hldsupdatetool.bin. [10:28] bihari: gnome-terminal works for 'billgates' but not the 'otheruser' ? [10:28] ./hldsupdatetool.bin. [10:28] yes just now i made a account [10:28] from that account my terminal is working [10:28] but not this account [10:29] ciao [10:29] account here switch user [10:29] bihari: I said to login as the new user. :) and test.. if bullgates works.. then its your other users gnome-terminals ettings that are the issue most likely [10:29] !list [10:29] 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 » === yessir_turan is now known as yessir === thot is now known as tehut [10:29] yes it working with billgates [10:29] bihari: delete ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal as the user that isnt working [10:29] bihari: perhaps delete the problem users gnome-terminal settings files at -- ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default [10:30] ? [10:30] bihari: or copy the ones for billgates into yours [10:30] bihari: login as problem, user.. open xterm. delete the gnome-terminal problem configs.. [10:30] bihari: since that is where the gnome-terminal preferences are [10:30] man what to do? [10:30] or you could do it as root from any user. :) [10:31] so many instruction :-s [10:31] tell me one by one [10:31] we said what to do.. they all say to do the same thing.. [10:31] :p [10:31] under problem users account --> delete ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default [10:32] sudo rm /home/PROBLEMUSERNAME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default should delete it. [10:32] delete ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default << shud i type in the terminal [10:32] or if thats a dir... === yessir is now known as yessir_turan === tehut is now known as donar [10:32] sudo rm -r /home/PROBLEMUSERNAME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default should delete it. [10:33] bihari: or login as your user. and use the normal gui file manager to delete the directory/files [10:34] yay, i used a new disc and burned at the slowest speed and it completed [10:34] assuming thats the right dirctory. Gnome has too many settings getting scattered about. [10:35] Can I get automounting to work while I'm *not* running the Gnome desktop? [10:36] Araneidae: what desktop are you running? [10:36] fluxbox, pretty bare [10:36] Araneidae: ive noticed that if i run 'nautilus --no-desktop' under icewm or other window managers - nautilus can do the automounting [10:36] Araneidae: not sure of other ways to get it going. :) === donar is now known as tehut [10:36] That sounds promising. I'm very surprised that automount is integrated into the desktop! [10:37] Definitely belongs as a lower level daemon IMO [10:37] Araneidae: its part of some gnoem serveices i recall. [10:37] So it would seem... [10:37] there are some lower level automounting tools.. but then you may lose some of your 'desktop user centered' features [10:37] I don't think I *have* any desktop features (except for my fluxbox hotkeys and core window management) [10:38] sudo rm -r /home/PROBLEMUSERNAME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Defaul [10:38] says no suck file or directory [10:38] bihari: you do undersatnd that you want to replace 'PROBLEMUSERNAME' with the name of your Problem user? [10:38] bihari: when in doubt 'think' about what you are doing. :) not just doing things blindly. [10:39] ? so what shud i do? [10:39] also your missing a "t" from Default [10:39] bihari: You should replace PROBLEMUSERNAME with tjhe name of your user having the problem user... [10:39] Araneidae: What your looking for is 'autofs' [10:39] rather logical? :) [10:39] Dr_Willis, do you know of a description of how Linux automounting works? It seems both tangled and in constant flux at the moment! [10:39] oh oki [10:39] got it :p === andrew_ is now known as Guest35742 [10:39] bihari: OR login as the user with the problem and use the command (from a xterm) --> 'rm -rf .gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/ [10:40] oops misspasted a extra ' and frogot the closing ' [10:40] Lord_Devi, like this: http://www.linux-consulting.com/Amd_AutoFS/autofs.html ? Ta :) [10:40] Araneidae, It can auto mount cdroms, usb, and remote file systems [10:40] Taking a look [10:40] That's an *old* document. Huh. [10:40] Araneidae: theres dozens of automounting things that have poped up over the years. gnomes way is thelatest in a long line of them [10:41] Araneidae: there is no 'linux' automounting. :) its just yet another service you use on linux [10:41] Yea. And they keep changing the underlying hotplug mechanism [10:41] Is udev in or out these days? I've completely lost track [10:41] Araneidae: Trust me - you do not want to go back to the old old old ways. :) [10:41] Araneidae: i cant recall either. :) HAL id being replaced by somthing else now [10:41] udev was befor HAl wasent it? [10:42] Well, I've had success with mdev on busybox, but that's a completely different animal. [10:42] Araneidae, Yeah taht's what your looking for. You could ask for a better guide though ;) [10:42] Anyhow, about to dig into autofs, I see it's a proper Ubuntu package, with the official logo on i [10:42] Starting with Ubuntu 10.04, HAL has been removed and is no longer involved [10:43] Something else I don't understand: I've got half a dozen fuse mount points in /tmp (all mounting the same .iso, as it happens) left behind by a program I ran the other day. === grouch is now known as Guest93250 [10:44] However, if I try `umount /dev/loop0` it tells me to be root [10:44] sounds like a bug [10:44] So as an ordinary user how am I supposed to unmount my fuse points? [10:44] fuse tools have their own tools for that i thouight === Cain` is now known as Cain [10:45] Ah, could well be. Never opened the fuse box [10:45] does 'mount' show them as still mounted? [10:45] * Araneidae winces at the involuntary pun [10:45] sudo rm -r /home/roo0t/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default [10:45] stuff in /tmp/ may just need tobe deleted. not unmounte [10:45] Yeah [10:45] i used this [10:45] bihari: your uders name is roo0t ? [10:45] but says same no such file or directory [10:45] /dev/loop5 on /tmp/tmpDZpkSG type iso9660 (rw) -- and the other five [10:45] bihari: your users name is roo0t ? [10:45] yes [10:45] bihari: shall we all slap you now? :) [10:46] why? [10:46] confusing name, that's all [10:46] bihari: use the TAB key to complete filename/paths so yoy dont have any typos [10:46] for example? [10:46] bihari: you can login as your roo0t user and use the shorter command i pasted earlier.. and not need sudo at all [10:46] !tab | bihari [10:46] bihari: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:46] i am just 18 yer old oki i dont know much about linux :( [10:47] rm /path/to/ shows a list of names... [10:47] bihari, for example if you type: ls /home/roo0 it will complete to /home/roo0t/ [10:47] Hello people, sometimes evince thumbnailer takes 100% for me. can somebody tell me how to block it from running. [10:47] bihari: OR login as the user with the problem and use the command (from a xterm) --> 'rm -rf .gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/' [10:47] Actually, /home/r will probably complete to /home/roo0t , depending on your other users [10:48] Araneidae, http://www.linux-consulting.com/Amd_AutoFS/autofs-5.html#ss5.3 Is a pretty good autofs guide there.. [10:48] so what to type now ? in xtrem terminal? [10:48] Araneidae: at least they fixed the bug where you could actually make your initial user be named 'root' wich was proberly what he would of used.. if he was able to. :) [10:48] Lord_Devi, thanks very much. Sigh. Yet another tool to learn :( [10:49] bihari: login as your roo0t user and use the shorter command i pasted earlier.. and not need sudo at all [10:49] Sorry to repeat, but this seems a busy channel, so will have to repeat, evince-thumbnailer is taking 100%, how to disable it. [10:49] The tiresome thing about being a developer is just how many damned different tools you have to learn! [10:49] hello, does anyone know how to hide a file to windows?? (I have ubuntu and a external hd, where I have some files I need to be hidden under windows pcs) [10:49] rm -rf .gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/ i used this command in terminal :-s [10:50] hello i have a small problem :( [10:50] use some fat32 tool that can set attrib +s and attrib +h [10:50] nuthng happen [10:50] Araneidae, It's really not that bad. Create an autofs.misc with this in it: "cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/cdrom" and tell autofs.master to include autofs.misc and you're done pretty much (for cdroms) [10:50] lobito: this was for you. [10:50] i have an Idea :D === beratalp is now known as unkown [10:50] lobito, what fs is are the files on [10:50] read my earlier last messge. [10:50] bihari: you are then trying to start gnome-terminal after you ran that command? [10:50] is\are === unkown is now known as beratalp [10:50] lobito, presumably the external drive is mounted over samba? As far as I'm aware you can't set the -h bits [10:50] i tried installing the python-twisted libraries but it returned with an error code, now i can't remove it D: [10:50] bihari: or are you just entering the command.. hiting enter.. then waiting for somthing to 'happen' ? [10:50] with attrib +r +h still can be seen if they put "show hidden files" [10:51] people, does anybody know how to stop evince-thumbnailer, I'm killing it -9 and its respawning, always takes 100% CPU. [10:51] nuthing happen same r000t@root-0s:~$ comes [10:51] is just an external hd, sometimes people borrow it from me [10:51] yessir_turan: there may be a setting somewhere in nautilus (the file browser) to turn thumbnails for files off & on [10:51] bihari: err.. yes.. that makes sence.. thats how the terminal works [10:51] and I need tome school docs to be hidden [10:51] some [10:51] bihari: so run gnome-terminal now and see if it works [10:51] Dr_Willis, i have an idea [10:51] i have teamviwer [10:52] bihari: i have some ideas also.. most of them involve you learning some shell basics. :) [10:52] why dont you come and fix the problem and show me [10:52] bihari: you have deleted the file.. now run 'gnome-terminal' and see if it works [10:52] bihari: as far as i can tell it IS now fixed.. untill you run 'gnome-terminal' and prove other wise [10:52] some body help me for create VPN connection, plz [10:52] There was an error creating the child process for this termina << i got this now [10:53] bihari: thats difrernt error then what you had earlier? [10:54] maco: Its either all or none, no indiv setting for pdfs. [10:54] can anyone give me a link from where i can order ubuntu cd for free? [10:54] ubuntu site :p [10:54] bihari: since it does work for your other user. that points to it being some gnome setting issue. so you could just reset ALL your gnome settings. :) http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [10:54] !shipit [10:54] Shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send !Lucid (10.04) CDs [10:55] There was a problem with the command for this terminal<< this message [10:55] some body help me for create VPN connection, plz [10:55] bihari: when was the last time gnome-terminal worked? what was you doing right befor it broke? [10:56] humm just 5 hour before [10:56] lobito, you've only to reliable ways to hide files: 1. don't put them where they can be seen; or 2. encyrpt them. [10:56] nuthing nmap [10:56] and also i was having some graphical issue [10:57] bihari: i would suggest a total reset of the gnome settings then. that might fix the issue. [10:57] http://img69.imageshack.us/i/screen1wa.png/ [10:57] look at this before i have this issue :( [10:57] http://img69.imageshack.us/i/screen1wa.png/ [10:57] be right back [10:58] some body help me for create VPN connection, plz [10:59] ahmadhesni the litlte vpn wizard thing dosent work? or what? give the channel details. [10:59] yes am back now [10:59] so how to set this gnome [11:00] and do i lost my all compiled softwear? [11:00] okay, I can cypher a file with seahorse, but how do I set the cache to 0 ?? I mean, if I decypher a file, and after a minute I want to decypher it again, I want the sistem to prompt me for password again [11:00] bihari: clarify what you just said.. I dident understand any of it. [11:01] when using synaptic package manager, what is the difference between removal and complete removal? [11:01] i mean to say if i reset of the gnome setting then do i have lost my all valuable data? [11:01] what can be used to make an image that a desktop can boot over the network with windows on it? hosted on ubuntu as the server [11:01] losse* [11:01] I think lobito is using http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/ for managing his encyrption of a volume, but it's caching his key longer than wanted [11:02] bihari: what data where> it should just delete your gnome customzations and thats it. [11:02] oh oki :p [11:02] thats kewl then [11:02] so sir Dr_Willis tell me the way for gnome seting [11:02] buff, there are some configuration files in /etc and other places; 'complete removal' deletes thoes as well [11:02] hanasaki, depends what you want [11:02] vot? [11:02] but you could aoe or iscsi boot it [11:02] bihari, they have told you many many times already [11:02] bihari: ive pasted the url to the commands several times. [11:02] bihari, he did, 8 minutes ago [11:03] bihari:xfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [11:03] this is a diskless approach [11:03] oops misspasted [11:03] http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [11:03] if you want to install it over the network thats different [11:03] there ya go. :) [11:03] yep, I need the key cached like a second or so [11:03] and its probably a lot easier to do it via wds (windows deployment services) [11:03] thanks Araneidae [11:03] bihari: see url that Araneidae pasted. [11:03] I think seahorse looks like a key manager, it's not the app actually doing the encryption [11:04] p'kek... l8r y'all [11:04] Araneidae: you are correct [11:04] oki [11:04] hi anyone know the package name for hp server management? [11:04] lobito, If you can figure out how to talk to the encryption tool directly then you can maybe bypass its caching of the key [11:06] hey. Which linux should i use for my old Pentium 3 256MB ram computer? [11:07] try lubuntu [11:08] mehdi0334378988: what do you want to 'do' with it. even lubuntu may be a bit overload for that old a thing [11:08] mehdi0334378988: more ram would help it a lot however. [11:08] based on the lxde desktop which is fast weight graphical environment mehdi0334378988 [11:08] mehdi0334378988: whats the cpu speed also? [11:08] im getting a download speed of 6000 Bytes/s with the update manager, is this normal or is there a way to speed it up? [11:08] my CPU is 1 GHz... [11:09] i waNT TO USE IT FOR WEB SURFING AND LISTENING MUSIC.... [11:09] mehdi0334378988: try the lubuntu - it would be the lightest 'desktop' variant of ubuntu you can get. but lubuntu is still a bit of a 'work in progress' [11:09] so has some rough edges. Theres the #lubuntu channel also. [11:10] If i upgrade my ram to 512 MB, would that help? [11:10] mehdi0334378988: of course it would help. :) you think it would hurt? === [SW]Dodge`oFF is now known as [SW]Dodge [11:11] 512 ram would proberly be a HUGE boost. [11:11] If it's cheap enough. otherwise you may want to throw it in the kitty for your next machine [11:11] http://lubuntu.net/ [11:11] oi [11:11] hi [11:12] I managed to pick up a box-o-old-ram at a rummage sale for $2 :) === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [11:12] got all sorts of old chips in there. heh [11:12] well, I'd call that "cheap enough" :) [11:12] lubuntu sounds interesting. I've got an ancient 250MHz P3 machine sitting in a corner that wants an upgrade [11:12] is there a way to align the window title font to the left instead of having it in the center? [11:12] Araneidae: that low end a box.. well.. dont expect miracles. :) [11:12] you all mad [11:12] with the power they suck [11:13] The problem with RAM is that they're all different. I've got a whole batch of different DDR sticks of varying vintage, but no idea what they're good for anymore [11:13] thats always been issues with ram. :) [11:13] youd be better off getting a new machine with atleast a core 2 [11:13] the power savings would be worth it [11:13] Unless he dosent have any $$ at all.. :) [11:13] * Araneidae runs around 200 machines running Linux with 64MB RAM and 32MB flash -- and that's ample for their needs === roo0t is now known as bihari [11:14] Firstgear, not sure let me check [11:14] (ot) sadly, I think my desktop is too old to run linux. no mmu = no go [11:14] Of course, the desktop is a bit of a memory and processor hog [11:14] shauno: eww.. that is old. [11:14] Dr_Willis, muhha thanks you sort out my problem \:d/ [11:14] Araneidae: a 250mhz P3? underclocked? [11:14] bihari: next time you reinstall.. pick a more normal user name also. :) [11:15] No, no, I'm misremembering. [11:15] :p oki i will [11:15] sweetpi, it's a P2 350 ;) [11:15] bihari: i still wonder how you managed to mess up the gnome settings so badly [11:15] That'll really fly [11:15] well i am just newbi [11:15] Aragon: zoomzoom :) [11:15] Lowest end box i got is a Celeron 500 I think. :) its in the garrage. with Puppy Linux on it.

[11:18] coz_: thanks for looking. [11:19] bihari: a k [11:19] kde vs gnome [11:19] bihari: kubuntu comes with extra k [11:19] really? [11:19] KDE = Kubuntu, Gnome - ubuntu [11:19] bihari: ubuntu = gnome desktop, kubuntu=kde [11:19] lubuntu - lxde, xubuntu = XFCE [11:19] mythbuntu - MythTV setup :) [11:20] i want a tubuntu [11:20] and i forget the others out there. [11:20] why so much small differece [11:20] t? [11:20] where they just dont put x in the install :P [11:20] bihari: because its not a 'small' differance [11:20] ;) [11:20] Yeah. I run Debian on my network server (headless) [11:21] theres also the underlieing goal of having the whole thing fit on a 700mb cd. [11:21] what about debian?i think ubuntu is the part of debian [11:21] The other advantage of Debian stable is that it really *is* stable [11:21] bihari: its not part of debian. [11:21] then? [11:21] bihari: its 'related' to debian. [11:21] bihari, don't say that, the Debian people will kill you [11:21] You could say Ubuntu is a "child" of Debian in a way [11:21] i got soem trouble with my audio devices [11:22] bihari: the guys that started ubuntu realised that debian's system is actually pretty decent. so adopted as much of it as made sense [11:22] i think debian is more complicated? then ubuntu [11:22] bihari: i think you need to go learn some more linux basics. :) [11:22] my microphone is f-up [11:22] Debian is ... yes, less beginner oriented [11:22] yes Dr_Willis give me some link [11:22] http://www.google.com/ - just putting it out there [11:22] Actually, to be frank, the #debian channels are pretty non expert hostile [11:23] bihari: once you learn the 'fundamentals' of linux. debian vs ubuntu - boils down to just a few differances. :) [11:23] bihari: i pasted the ubuntu manual url earlier [11:23] !manual | bihari [11:23] bihari: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[11:35] rocket16, I am finding midori very nice at least enough to make it default browser but i also fall back to firefox often [11:35] Dr_Willis: erwinsoo I already tried Chrome and Chromium, but multiple windows in them also consumes more memory. [11:35] rocket16: cant say that ive ever noticed the issue. [11:35] anyone know how to unmute on main soundcard with amixer, having trouble working it out [11:35] I tend to use tabs. :) [11:35] coz_: I am already running Midori, but I can't get Flash plugin working in that.

I have a new 64 bit laptop with Lucid installed. I tried the x86 and 64 bit versions of Ubuntu and both behave the same, I can see the neighbors WPA2 network but not my WPA network (I must use WPA for compatability with other network devices in the home). Why can't I see or connect to my network. My previous laptop still connects using Lucid just fine. [11:37] I got the 3 main browsers, firefox, opera, GoogleChrome icons in my main panel. i normally use FF. then try the others out every so often if im feeling bored. [11:37] I'm looking for info about how to config the multimedia keys (fn + other key) in a Compaq Presario CQ50-113BR Laptop, running Ubuntu 10.04... i've tried to use xev to obtain the keycodes but it doesn't get any when a key combo (fn + other key) is pressed... [11:37] And? [11:37] ive had some sites that flash works with in Opera. but not FF. or visa versa.. it can be a real annoyance [11:37] hey guys how do you install a .run file through termanial [11:38] ozBoy: you 'run' a run file.. [11:38] how do i do that [11:38] sh whatever.run, or 'chmod +x whatever.run' then './whatever.run' [11:38] the docs where you got the whatever.run should of mentioned that. [11:39] we sort of had a heated thread on the use of .run/.bin/whateber files in linux in some forum posts :) and in this channel at times.. heh [11:39] they tend to be problematic [11:40] can any one help me i am trying to get my computer to allow me to plug my TV through the HDMI port on the side of my computer [11:40] ozBoy: you mean use the TV as a monitor?

(hardware-drivers tool) === yessir_turan is now known as yessir [11:42] ozBoy: you then ran the nvidia-settings tool?

[11:43] ok im in the NVIDIA X Server Settings [11:43] Voldenet: CGA16 colors. :) [11:43] Dr_Willis, your mention of nvidia-settings reminds me: does the Nvidia driver *still* not properly understand xrandr? [11:43] what's that command that lets you configure what processes start at boot time and in what order? [11:43] Araneidae: ive never noticed the issue. [11:43] unimatrix: with Upstart you normally dont worry about the order. [11:43] unimatrix, /etc/rcX.d [11:44] unimatrix: what ones get loaded are in /etc/init or if they are older services in /etc/rc2.d [11:44] Dr_Willis i need to configure pulseaudio and mpd which still run in the old-fashioned way (/etc/init.d) [11:44] unimatrix: even the ones in intit.d are actually getting ran by a upstart service. :) [11:44] unimatrix: configure what part of it? [11:45] Dr_Willis, when I run xrandr it only shows the compound desktop size: 3200x1200, no option for resizing or enabling individual screens from the command line [11:45] hi all.... hope i an get some help... need to get iburst pcmcia modem working on ubuntu 10.01 [11:45] 10.04 sorry [11:45] Compare with the ATI Radeon driver and the difference is startling [11:45] Dr_Willis just the boot order... mpd is booting before pulseaudio, and it needs to be the other way around [11:45] Araneidae: thats where twinview asnd xrandr are fighting I guess. [11:45] unimatrix: change the S50pulseaudio to be somthing hither then what mpd has - perhaps. [11:45] How do I download Hotmail e-mails into Evolution.

[12:31] yes i have looked at a lot of different areas on the internet but none helped [12:31] !info ubuntu-umpc | aeiou_ [12:31] aeiou_: Package ubuntu-umpc does not exist in lucid [12:31] aliasd: i think you would be better with a clean install [12:31] io, it's not a package [12:31] io, it's a version of Ubuntu for mid-pc [12:31] i presume it isnt what i've installed then, i just went for the standard download from the ubuntu website === OerHeks is now known as Oer [12:32] me too spiky, but... you know... not an option. [12:33] aliasd: You have to upgrade feisty -> gutsy -> hardy -> lucid [12:34] first update your local release and the upgrade [12:34] !eol | aliasd [12:34] aliasd: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [12:34] geirha, you forgot Ibex [12:34] So, Hardy > Lucid is OK? [12:34] not doing this has caused me problems [12:34] aliasd, no, there's Intrepid Ibex [12:34] Raphi974: No, hardy and lucid are LTS releases, you can upgrade directly from LTS to LTS [12:34] geirha, ho ? really ? [12:34] geirha, nice to know :p thx [12:35] yes it's possible === tech__ is now known as purvesh_ [12:35] Raphi974: Yep, so if you don't fancy upgrading the system too often, stick with LTS releases ;) [12:35] haha so I would have been better off to leave it at Dapper :) Ironic :) [12:35] could someone confirm if these instructions would be suitable to turn my standard desktop download into a notebook installation? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Mobile/HowTo/TurnUMPCDesktopIntoNetbook [12:36] aliasd: Indeed :) [12:36] oCean_ don tthink thats helpful [12:36] aeiou_: You're using the standard version, not umpc though? [12:36] hi guys i need some help i can not get sound to come out of HDMI when pluged into my TV when i had windows it worked [12:36] io: ok so i guess they are not suitable then! [12:36] Prior to grub 2, I would edit menu.lst to add new OS boot entries [12:36] aeiou_: Clearly not. [12:37] which files do I need to edit in grub 2? [12:38] any one [12:38] i would really like to be able to do this [12:38] geirha, thanks for the link, exactly what I couldn't find and needed. [12:39] Nautilus is saying my trash can has stuff in it, but it quits when I try to empty my Trash? [12:39] !grub2 > nawk [12:39] nawk, please see my private message [12:39] nawk: "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" === tech__ is now known as purvesh [12:40] Calculating upgrade... [12:40] oh dear god. [12:42] aliasd: is it alot?? [12:42] 1138 upgraded, 137 newly installed, 13 to remove and 2 not upgraded. [12:42] That's step 1 [12:42] how do i get HDMI audio and video [12:42] aliasd, How many Gb ? [12:42] 760mb. [12:42] not too bad. [12:43] aliasd, not a lot [12:43] aliasd: Hardy will be supported until april 2011, so once you get to hardy, you can stay there for a while. === tech__ is now known as purvesh_ [12:43] I think I might want to :) [12:44] Will be keeping this box at LTS from now on for sure. [12:44] I'm sure we all made admin mistakes back in '07 though... === roo0t is now known as bihari [12:47] i have question i am affraid when i open my computer my files are being checked dev/ in this way... [12:49] can any one help i am trying to get audio out of my HDMI port [12:49] bihari, could you rephrase your question? [12:49] Can anyone help troubleshoot my 3G connection? All I get is "Disconnected - you are now offline". [12:49] can anyone help me install firefox 4.0b? it downloads as a tar.gz file and i don't know where to extract everything to [12:50] nicofs: have you just installed ubntu if so you need to update 1st === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [12:50] spiky: my (x)ubuntu is up to date... and the connection used to work... [12:51] nicofs, I get that sometimes when I have no reception [12:51] aliasd when i open my comouter my files are being checked dev/ something. and i am affraid of this beacuse i have already lost my previous version of ubuntu in this way as it was also show me the same fashon checking [12:51] aliasd: im in the metropolitan area of munic. reception is the least of my worries... [12:51] amabo, it probably just wants to be extracted over /... Look inside the archive to be sure [12:52] over "/" [12:52] munich? [12:52] nicofs, used to get reception issues in inner Melbourne... You never know. [12:52] any one [12:52] aliasd: all of it to root? [12:53] in fact, in inner cities, it can be harder to place towers about, due to the cost of real estate! [12:53] asliasd tried same sim card inside my smartphone. even tried various providers. blain: yes munich. lost an h there... [12:53] excuse me ,a C programing problem,i compile this code(http://codepad.org/5P8hWdiZ) using gcc test.c it's output is strlen(str3):6 ?not strlen(str3):5? [12:53] anyone know what website help delete account facebook/twitter ? [12:54] amabo, well, it would probably have paths relevant to root. You PROBABLY just need to tar xvzf Firefoxwhatever.tar.gz [12:54] but look inside the archive with file-roller or something to be sure [12:54] nicofs i just get problems in garages [12:54] basncy: There's a #c channel here on freenode [12:55] !ot | QQi [12:55] QQi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:55] Anyone here actually use Gwibber? [12:55] geirha, Thanks [12:55] basncy: you aren't terminating the string [12:55] basncy: ##c actually, but joining #c should redirect you there. [12:55] basncy: on my system, right now, it returns 34. it could return anything, or make your program crash. [12:55] haiiiiiiii [12:56] bihari, is fsck running? [12:56] blain: i'm at home. an the sim card works inside my smartphone. it is as if the network manager doesn't even try to connect.... i click connect an it blinks for a millisecond - an then goes back to offline. [12:56] nicofs: Is it worth uninstalling then setting it up again [12:56] basncy: strings in C must always be null-terminated. you can do that by adding '\0' as the last element of the string, or by just defining it as string="hello" (then the compiler will add a null automatically) [12:56] bihari, did you properly shut down your computer last time you rebooted it? [12:56] yes [12:56] was it fsck running? [12:56] spiky: uninstalling what exactly? the connection or xubuntu? [12:57] how to check fsck running or not [12:57] umm... Was it on computer startup, a filesystem check for errors? [12:57] nicofs: the connection in network manager [12:58] hi guys [12:58] spiky: i did both. same problem with ubuntu and xubuntu... it somehow works at random... there are times i get connected instantly, sometimes i need to try severeal times and for some weeks now, it stopped working alltogether. [12:58] LjL, as you say,if i define str3 like char str3[]={'h','e','l','l','o'};then call function strlen may go wrong? [12:59] Any quick way to enable and disable ipv6 here in Ubuntu? [12:59] basncy: strlen doesn't know how long you made str3. It'll keep going until it finds a \0 [12:59] basncy: yes. strlen will scan the string until it detects a null character; since you didn't put one there, it may go on "forever" (until it either meets a null by chance, or hits a portion of memory that it's not allowed to access, and crashes) [13:00] i just installed ubuntu 10.04 onto my usb stick. with the universal usb creator thing linked from the ubuntu page, i selected persistent saving (or whatever its called). Now, I loaded up once and saved a file in the documents. I also set the keyring password and logged in to my wireless. When i restarted, the file in documents was still there but i had to set the password again and retype the password for the wifi. Anyway to fix? and anyway to set [13:00] up root on this thing? [13:00] LjL, thanks,i got it [13:00] I have a problem with my computer. For some reason after I installed ubuntu 10.4, windows 7 stopped working. Now I can't access C:\ in windows. Does any have any suggestions? [13:00] can some one please help i am trying to fix a problem with no sound coming out of the HDMI [13:01] bob_ : how exactly did you install ubuntu? [13:01] nicofs: I had this problem even phoned isp about it I then changed the DNS server settings in IPv4 [13:01] live cd [13:01] spiky: to what? [13:02] Hello,How can I backup all of my Ubuntu in a way which I can install it via a bootable disk and it installs the current ubuntu I have without any changes [13:02] bob_: did you resize the partition in windows or via the ubuntu installer? [13:02] (all settings and users and /bin should be saved and should be installed when I choosed to restore) [13:03] I believe I did it in the ubuntu installer. I first installed 7, then ubuntu 10.4. [13:03] nicofs: I dont think my settings will help as i,m in uk plus different isp but maybe give your isp a call [13:03] bob_ : does your windows still start/boot or is it gone altogether... [13:04] nicofs: just another thought have you moved the dongle to a different usb port? [13:04] ubuntu on 733mhz pc with 128 meg of ram slow [13:04] spiky: i can find the DNS on my isp's homepage, will give it a try. so you manually set the DNS as opposed to automatically getting it... [13:04] root 18439 0.0 0.1 3456 896 pts/0 D+ 22:00 0:00 ls <--- byebye eeepc :( [13:04] what can I do to make it faster [13:04] uograde [13:04] upgrade [13:04] spiky: integrated device. no way of plugging it in elsewhere... [13:05] Yes I know that [13:05] it still boots, I was having trouble logging on, something about the user account not loading, but I seem to have gotten that fixed. Also, as might be guessed, I cannot currently install anything while in windows since I don't have access to C:\ [13:05] but just fooling around with this ancient pc [13:05] Chatting with irc works great [13:05] majorastro how about a distro for older slower hardware [13:06] majorasrtro like cd linux or DSL [13:06] okay which one [13:06] or puppy linux [13:06] okay [13:06] puppy linux yes [13:06] yeah, of the 3 I like puppy best [13:07] hey guys...has the ability to install official nvidia drivers been fixed on lucid? [13:07] coz_ not that I've seen [13:07] Swian, thats not good new [13:08] Swian, rather not good "news" [13:08] coz_ no its a pain because the drivers that you can load aren't very stable on some of my hardware [13:08] Swian, also the nvidia_curent driver offered has a major memory leak === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out [13:08] spiky: doesn't help... [13:08] for some reason firefox doesnt scroll down when i press the arrow-down key, why could that be?= [13:09] Cube``: Possibly some flash app has the keyboard focus [13:09] nicofs: ok I understand you cant move it [13:09] cube``: always or on a specific page? [13:09] downloadinbg puppy linux [13:10] shouldn't take long [13:10] can I install puppy linux to hard drive [13:10] small distro [13:10] spiky: i tried wvdial ans sakis3G - neither worked, sakis because i have my PIN disabled... [13:10] yes [13:10] okay === dilo is now known as Guest76999 [13:12] fsdf [13:13] Good morning all [13:13] ubuntu 32-bit does not support 4GB of ram? how to change this without kernel recompiling ? [13:13] I have a Bluetooth headset that pairs beautifully with two of my systems running Ubuntu 9.10. As soon as I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04, the headset no longer pairs on either of the PCs. It doesn't even try to connect — when I select the headset in the list to pair with, it bombs out saying "Setting up 'X5 Stereo v1.3' failed". [13:14] so nicofs, do you see any fixs for my problem? windows will boot up. [13:14] Are any of the ubuntu developers here? [13:14] So obviously it's a regression in 10.04. But frankly I don't care what caused it — I need it paired. [13:14] crashev, ubuntu 32 bit can use more than 4 gb, use the PAE kernel [13:14] crashev: that'd be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [13:14] jayvee: My answer as an idiot is that you could downgrade to the other version? [13:15] Dupper, join #Ubuntu-devel [13:15] nicofs: I presume your wlan shows up in lspci? [13:15] my ubuntu system doesn't detect my laptop battery. the model is toshiba l655 [13:15] @Oer: Thanks, I was wondering about that as well :) [13:15] geirha: nicofs got it thanks [13:15] bob_: to be honest, i don't know what's wrong... if c were completely inaccessible, windows wouldn't boot... [13:16] spiky: how do i check? [13:16] ok, thanks [13:16] Oer, shauno: great, thanks, will look into that right now [13:16] Dupper: I am not going to downgrade to 9.10, because that would regress my graphics performance severely. [13:16] I may just try reinstalling everything. [13:16] I just wish that Ubuntu could make a single release without breaking something major. I have used every Ubuntu release since 4.10, and every one has had a major regression. === Guest76999 is now known as maemo [13:17] wanted to give some props [13:17] nicofs: i,m trying to work on it I dont have a built in 3G like yo mine is a usb dongle [13:17] I'm 100% not a poweruser needing anything linux specific and this thing still rocks me [13:17] Hi, would a broken soundcard be listed unter /proc/adound/cards ? [13:17] spiky: well as far as the hardware is concerned it's the same... [13:17] hi for some reasons my loginscreen does not appear anymore i need to do failsave boot to get into linux... [13:18] spiky: it's listed as a usb device - like a normal dongle, only that it is bolted to the inside of my netbook... [13:18] nicofs: not if drivers not loaded [13:19] nicofs: ok [13:19] Hmmm... ubuntu seems faster @1GHz than windows was @1.8GHz(same machine, long story...) [13:20] Hi, would a broken soundcard be listed unter /proc/adound/cards ? [13:21] maemo: depends how 'broken' it is === SlidingHorn_out is now known as slidinghorn [13:22] эээ...

[13:38] Group package* [13:38] !lamp | Grim147 [13:38] Grim147: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:38] ok so it all has to be done sepratley [13:38] Grim147, did you read the link?

I want to use something such as ping or nslookup within a for-loop and collect all available ip-adresses) [13:45] fasp nmap will check [13:45] can you do that? [13:47] but nmap has the same exit status if the host is up or not IIRC [13:50] fasp netstat -t === NightKhaos|Ghost is now known as NightKhaos [13:53] spiky Are there parameters which make ping return a boolean? === zehrique is now known as zehrique-BRB === DjMadness_ is now known as DjMadness [13:54] anyone any good with mod-rewrites and how to get working with ubuntu/apache2 via sites-available (not .htaccess enable/use). At one stage I followed some hack job copy/paste files and editting but it didn't feel right [13:54] how can i programatically add a script to ubuntu so it runs automatically [13:54] Zorge: better ask in #httpd [13:58] besides keeping the same name, grub2 is quite a radical change [13:59] anyone know if ubuntu supports armel4 architecture? [13:59] !armel [14:00] need some help with sound please. aplay -l lists two devices but if I play a file, it just hangs and does nothing [14:01] slacker: aplay uses alsa, do u have alsa instead of pulseaudio [14:02] Johndoe321: I've got a pulseaudio running [14:02] for that user at lealts [14:02] least [14:02] slacker: you may have to also install alsa [14:03] Johndoe321: aplay works for root [14:03] but there's no pulseaudio running for root [14:03] hi all [14:03] Johndoe321: slacker , alsa should be already installed by default [14:04] slacker: maybe the file u are trying to play has root permissions only? [14:04] I've got alsa-base, alsa-utils [14:04] Johndoe321: no. And the device permissions are right, too [14:04] the user is in the audio group [14:05] slacker-: pulseaudio is usually installed if apci audio card is detected.Not always but usually [14:06] slacker: i'm at a loss of other solutions, maybe reinstall pulseaudio from src; that always works for me when audio fails to play [14:06] raid question? === M1AU_ is now known as M1AU [14:07] BluesKaj: it's an onboard one [14:07] Okay, well thanks all [14:07] Hi, I removed all gnome-panels and added the xfce4-panel and xfapplets to add the gnome applets. The only thing missing is the menu. Is there a way to get the menu back? [14:07] Hello all. [14:07] asus: technical ubuntu issue? Did you find any response in #mysql and/or ##hardware? [14:07] is RAID 5 is the best choice to run 2CPU server with 4 1TB hard drives for MySQL on Ubuntu 10.04 Server? [14:08] !hi | rocket16 [14:08] rocket16: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [14:08] alsa-base and alsa-utils is what's required to run alsa, pulseaudio isn't always helpful, mostly it's just another redudndant layer of audio processing unless one has a fancy surround pci DD pci card installed, the it might be useful. [14:08] asus: Well, it'll take a while to rebuild the array if one of the drives fails. [14:08] oCean_: i did not find the answer there [14:08] Johndoe321: did you mean from scratch or are you suggesting to compile my own? [14:08] Johndoe321: Lol, I am already an old member here, :D Still thanks. [14:08] slacker: compile on ur own [14:08] aw.. [14:09] asus: With drives that big, there's always the possibility that one will fail during the rebuild. [14:09] asus: well, this is not the appropriate channel, since it's not an ubuntu specific issue. You have to read up on RAID performances [14:09] asus: I suggest RAID10, depending on how big your data set is. [14:09] jpds: RAID10 is the best you think? === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [14:10] hi, i have linux 10.04 on my laptop and if i close the lid to put the laptop on hibernate then when i open the lid again the screen doesn't turn on. the laptop is on but the screen won't show anything [14:10] asus: That'll give you 2TB of space; how much do you need? [14:10] 2TB is enough, I need super performance for read access for mysql [14:10] daniel2171: see if alt+crt+f7 brings X11 back [14:11] Hmmm, all the neat little OS effects work too [14:11] Nobody knows? [14:11] it doesn't [14:11] asus: Well, RAID10 gives you high performance because data is striped and there is no parity overhead. [14:12] anodesni: repeat ur question every few min, if someone know they should answer === ShadowFoxeBiH is now known as ShadowFoxBiH [14:13] jpds: We are talking about software RAID 10? Because hardware built-in LSI MegaRaid did not work on Ubuntu install, it does not see hardware RAID set, i do not why === Luke is now known as Guest10760 [14:13] asus: Ah, well, I only use hardware RAID on HPs.

[14:14] after a recent update, cannot print with my hp f380. get "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed". any suggestion? [14:14] Asus RS500-E6 server [14:14] guys from Asus said they do not support Ubuntu [14:14] woalop: What update? [14:15] nobody supports ubuntu on servers [14:15] i mean upgrade. [14:15] linxeh: wut. [14:15] linxeh: ? [14:15] alright [14:15] linxeh, that is not correct [14:15] Misterio: i meant upgrade. [14:15] no vendors offer support for Ubuntu on their servers - none of the major ones anyway === Lanta is now known as Lantizia [14:15] dell, hp, ibm etc [14:15] linxeh: Err, no. [14:15] linxeh: Have you ever seen http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ ? [14:16] jpds: that isnt the same thing [14:16] woalop: Okay. Did you install that printer's driver from ubuntu's printers installer or from printer's official web? [14:16] Johndoe321: I killed the pulseaudio process and when it restarted, it worked *sigh* [14:16] linxeh: Explain. [14:16] I hate it when such random things happen [14:16] Misterio: from ubuntu's [14:16] slacker: finally, resolution, glad to hear it worked 4 u [14:17] so, only software RAID is suitable for me? And software RAID 10 gives nice performance for MySQL? [14:17] jpds: try getting support from Dell or similar on any of those supported machines. they force you to boot Centos to run their openmanage software, as they only supply it as RPM [14:17] jpds: then give you a lecture on why you should run suse or redhat [14:17] asus: please stop asking in this channel [14:17] Wow, got my old colors back... I missed these. [14:17] oCean_ why I cannot post to #mysql? [14:17] asus: you have to register [14:18] linxeh: Well, http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?release=10.04%20LTS&category=Server marks some Dell servers as "Ready" - which means that Dell has certified these themselves to run Ubuntu.

[14:21] Dupper: really, stop it [14:21] Dupper: why not join another channel, like #mytestchannel [14:21] hello [14:21] linxeh,#mytestchannel has no users =( [14:21] !hi | fan [14:22] fan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [14:22] code 1: helper failed with: [14:22] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on / [14:22] mount failed how do i fix this? drive is 100% healthy, and os on that drive works..?? [14:22] eh, i would like to know how to play .ogv files on mplayer? [14:22] here? [14:22] KnightStalker: uh, that was the point [14:22] asanka: go to system/preferences/power management/general tab / notification area [14:22] hi [14:22] linxeh,oh k :D [14:22] Hi! [14:22] where are you [14:23] fan, did you have an ubuntu support question? [14:23] fan: this is technical support channel. Join #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat [14:23] Mark-I i went to the general tab [14:23] oh , not [14:23] hylian: in terminal u can cd /mount to access hd, or sudo umount /media to remove shortcut to harddrive (hd) [14:24] asanka: go to the next, check notification area [14:24] Johndoe321 I apreciate the info, but how will that help me? [14:24] i don't know what's this [14:24] hylian: i assumed u wanted to do one of the two, what did u wish to do? [14:24] hi, i have linux 10.04 on my laptop and if i close the lid to put the laptop on hibernate then when i open the lid again the screen doesn't turn on. the laptop is on but the screen won't show anything [14:24] johndoe321 actually it wont show "storage" or sdb1 in mount. [14:25] fan, its Ubuntu support NOT chat; /join #ubuntu-offtopic [14:25] MaRk-I : i have tried many methods. no luck . I think the kernel does not ditect my battery [14:25] johndoe321 i want to fic this error: code 1: helper failed with: [14:25] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on / [14:25] mount failed - basically my ntfs drive wont mount [14:25] JohnDoe321: what are you saying? [14:25] oh, i'll go , buy [14:25] hylian: oh, install gparted and check the partition's health/status [14:25] asanka: oh ok, hmm no idea [14:25] daniel2171: there are several issues mentioned on launchpad regarding resume. [14:26] johndoe321 ahead of the game, checked healthy status. 2 os's both say 100% healthy [14:26] oCean_:how can i fix it? [14:26] hylian: try mount -f (force)? [14:26] in /proc/acpi it says that BAT1 Present : no [14:26] johndoe321 that does work, but when i reboot i am back to square one. [14:27] daniel2171: what I mean is that it could be a bug (maybe even one they're currently working on, or already a patch provided) Search https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [14:27] MaRk-I : in /proc/acpi it says that BAT1 Present : no [14:27] hylian: well, thats drained all suggestions, at least thats a temp workaround, maybe cron a script that forces mount? [14:28] *JohnDoe321 , are you saying that if its installed in windows [14:29] johndoe321 thanx. i know this is ubuntu's error though. hmm. pclinuoxos 2010 is installed on that drive and boots with perfection. same drive. and has full access to the ntfs partition. cant figure it out. [14:29] orcatacoo: no, even if its not, as long as you don't remove /boot with grub2, u can remove all other folders from windows with an ext2/3 reader [14:29] heh, it is funny that i'm able to play .ogv files from command prompt mplayer but not mplayer-gui. [14:30] HI Guys I would like to know if is possible to setup two VGAs on Ubuntu Lucid? [14:30] 有人吗 [14:31] ocatacoo: do you have your windows install disc? [14:31] ok then how would you do that not from a normal login [14:31] no [14:31] !cn | ghost_ [14:31] ghost_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:31] MaRk-I: is there a website to show how to remove ubuntu from windows? [14:33] Hi, I was told to enable "lucid-proposed" repository, but I can't find it. I know where and how to add repositories... [14:33] Johndoe321: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation [14:33] Johndoe321: I dont have a link at the moment, but usually just do an fix mbr with the windows install disk to remove grub then just delete the partitions [14:33] ow, wait [14:33] oCean_: thanks [14:34] bergLNX: System -> Admin. -> Software Sources -> [Updates] [14:34] Johndoe321: well, I'm not sure if I understood you. The link is for removing Wubi (the ubuntu installer on windows) [14:34] HI Guys I would like to know if is possible to setup two VGAs on Ubuntu Lucid? or configut it to just ignore the second VGA? [14:35] oCean_: no, they need to remove a reg. install of ubuntu, so i think they have to get an ext2/3 reader/writer for windows and wipe all linux directories except /boot with grub2 [14:36] Johndoe321: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/9921-uninstalling-linux.html [14:37] johndoe321 i fixed it with my pclinuox2010 install. i became root, and unmounted that drive in pclinuxos, then rebooted into ubuntu and whalla. figure that one out. pclinuos never had problem one using that drive a real head scratcher [14:37] Hi, I was told to enable "lucid-proposed" repository, but I can't find it. I know where and how to add repositories... [14:37] bergLNX, check in software sources [14:38] system administration software sources [14:38] I have an old laptop of 512 MB RAM, and Core 2 Duo processor. I have made Ubuntu as fast as possible, by tweaking and sacrificing visual impression. But, can anyone give me some reading resources, in which Ubuntu is shown to be customized to be running nicely on Laptop. [14:39] bazhang: Yeah there's where I'm standing, but nothing with "proposed" here... hmm... [14:39] bergLNX, let me check [14:39] rocket16: You could try the netbook remix [14:39] rocket16, with gnome? [14:39] i read that you want to stay away from that depository, starnge [14:39] try something like openbox, blackbox, flux, or lxde [14:39] bazhang, yes with gnome... or the kde netbook version which is even nicer [14:40] bazhang: Yes, I customized GNOME though, by using PcmanFm and OpenBox. [14:40] rocket16, i'm using the Netbook remix but usualy it takes 600 MB from ram after the clear setup [14:40] berglnx maybe this will help? lp:ubuntu/lucid-proposed/tomcat6 [14:40] Gerwin: Netbook edition? But mine is a Notebook, Compaq 6710s. Hence, will that be perfect? [14:40] clean* [14:40] bergLNX, in the updates tab [14:41] Esigolo: I heard similar things, and hence I use the default Ubuntu, after much tweaking, it takes around 200 MB RAM at maximum, while running certain applications. [14:41] bazhang: aaaah, my bad :p many thanks :) [14:41] bergLNX, and other software as well [14:41] Friends, I got a small site, http://www.ubuntulaptop.net/ which might prove useful. [14:42] rocker16: if you need more ram u can create swap on a flash drive for fast swap [14:42] rocket16, i'm going to take a look about it [14:43] Esigolo: Sure, :) I am checking it too, :) [14:43] berglnx sorry man. cant find it. but it's mentioned in a bunch of ubuntu forums [14:44] Johndoe321 going to another os, unmounting it as su and then rebooting in ubuntu fixed my error [14:44] hylian: No problem, found it :) Updated Gwibbler, but still not working though :( [14:47] unlock login keyring what is this [14:48] Guys is possible to configure the Xorg or something to make Ubuntu just Ignore my second Grafic card? [14:49] Esigolo it may be, but is is possible to deactivate the card in your cmos/bios? [14:50] hylian, In fact i'm using the second on windows to put the Physx to work so I can't deactvate it :( [14:51] Esigolo ohh, hmm. let me see if i can dig something up [14:51] hello [14:51] hi [14:51] Guys my server hangs sometimes, I wanna look on errors, where is the error log [14:52] hylian, thanks man [14:52] /var/log [14:53] Hi! Does ubuntu have an equivalent of the windows addredss bar? [14:53] Esigolo is that second card a built in card, a nvidia, a amd, intel, sis? [14:53] Like, where I can just type in the path and even maybe file and get to it instead of folder shuffling? That seems like a very ubuntu-ish feature [14:53] hylian, The first one is an ATI card and the second is an Nvidia [14:53] and you want to disable the ait, or nvidia? [14:54] Nvidia [14:54] [GNOME, Ubuntu 10.04] What is the filename of my Login screen image? (http://imagebin.org/104771)? [14:54] Esigolo sudo nvidia-glx-config disable might work. [14:54] which file in /var/log has system and kernel loggings? [14:54] first dmesg === smn_ is now known as Shogoot [14:54] piklu: dmesg | grep [14:54] sorry [14:54] hylian, let me try [14:54] dmesg | less === jacsparrow_1 is now known as theneoindian [14:55] dmesg provides hardware information [14:55] It also refers to kernel panics. [14:55] abhi_nav, hi abhi :) [14:55] ranjan, pm [14:55] hylian, sudo: nvidia-glx-config: command not found [14:55] that gives a lot of info......which particular word for kernel information [14:56] Esigolo i was afraid of that. either that command is ancient, or the nvidia driver was never installed, im assuming the first option. [14:57] Esigolo did you install both drivers? [14:57] hylian, the Nvidia driver is not installed because when i Install it the ATI driver goes crazt [14:57] crazy [14:58] hylian, i have to install the Nvidia or Ati driver First? [14:58] Esigolo, considring that amd/ati has little or no support for any linux based distro, i kinda undertsand that. just switched to nvidia for that reason [14:58] hi, i have linux 10.04 on my laptop and if i close the lid to put the laptop on hibernate then when i open the lid again the screen doesn't turn on. the laptop is on but the screen won't show anything i've searched for the bug on launchpad but theres nothing for my laptop (hp dv5 amd 64) [14:59] Esigolo what disadvantage would you have to using your nvidia card instead of your ati? is there a big performance difference? [14:59] daniel2171: Does it work correctly if you choose hibernate from the menu (and not close the lid)? [15:00] hylian, Iwas afraid of that because the ATI drivers is an HD5870 and the Nvidia is an 9600GT its a huge diference [15:00] geirha: Yea the problem is in closing it [15:01] Esigolo well. hmm. i would think that you would need both drivers installed, and then wuold need to have ubuntu not use the nvidia. but im not an expert. one other possibility is, pclinuxos 2010 or 2009 (2009 if it is an older ati card). pclinuxos is not my favorite os, but has special support for ati, way more than ubuntu [15:01] I have an ATI 9600XT and this ubuntu advanced theme is running flawlessly [15:01] Most impressive! [15:01] What is currently the best support video card for linux? [15:01] daniel2171: Had the same thing on my laptop. I eventually figured out it was the driver for the intel graphics card. (with the latest kernel though, X won't start at all, just completely freeze the system) [15:02] i have an ati video card [15:03] daniel2171: I'm using the vesa driver as a workaround. [15:03] geirha: Could i do that? [15:03] hylian, ok i'm going to take a look about it thank you man xD [15:03] hello all [15:03] Esigolo, dot know how much help i have been, but, hope it works out for you [15:03] daniel2171: Doesn't hurt to try. Do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [15:04] Hi, how do I remove desktop-environment? I installed desktop, and I want to "convert" it into a ubuntu-server. [15:04] geirha: i don't know how can i check? [15:04] Is it possible to update usb mode ubuntu? [15:04] fatbrain: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [15:04] daniel2171: Open a terminal and type [15:04] fatbrain you want to remove x? or just have a real simple desktop environment? [15:04] I am now using ubuntu 10.07 LTS with a usb stick [15:05] daniel2171: ''ls /etc/X11/'' [15:05] Gerwin: I did that, but it took about 1 sec to run and all my desktop apps seems to still be installed :S [15:05] Oops 10.04 [15:05] ubuntu, is it persistent? [15:05] Esigolo: have you tried the the ATI catalyst 10.1 [15:06] persistent...? I am not sure [15:06] anyone aware of any webmin module or just commands to lower fan speed for servers? [15:06] geirha: ok i did that [15:06] How do you define "persistent"? [15:06] daniel2171: Do you see xorg.conf in the list? [15:06] ubuntu, able to save changes [15:06] BluesKaj, yes but When i try to aactivate the 3d option it call the Nvidia driver :( [15:06] ubuntu i think he means is it still there and does it boot every time you reboot. [15:06] bazhang, yes, then it is persistent [15:06] geirha: no [15:06] my usb stick is 4GB [15:07] BluesKaj, the Gnome 3d options I mean [15:07] I am at a cyber-cafe [15:07] ubuntu, if the flash drive is big enough and it is persistent, then sure [15:07] my stick is bigger then yours [15:07] daniel2171: But there is an xorg.conf.failsafe, right? [15:07] miked595, that commentary is not welcome here [15:07] ubuntu how does it handle hardware changes? different computer, different hardware, especially gfx differences? [15:07] Esigolo: is the ATI HD5870 a pci card ? [15:08] I suppose that you understand what mode I am running on, right? [15:08] init 3? LOL [15:08] bazhang: it's 16GB, I dont understand why not? [15:08] just click try ubuntu while booting, [15:08] I have both one ATI5870 and one Nvidia 9600Gt installed [15:08] geirha: no [15:08] BluesKaj, yes it is [15:08] ubuntu thats cool man, ima gonna do that. [15:08] I just clicked "try ubuntu".... [15:09] while I was booting, I click F12 first to got into a BIOS menu so that I can boot from my USB stick [15:09] daniel2171: Hm. Odd. Mine does. [15:09] ubuntu, that sounds like it is not persistent, but a live usb [15:09] hi all [15:09] yes, a Live USB [15:10] geirha: theres nothing that says xorg [15:10] that's what I was asking [15:10] !usb | ubuntu please read this to check [15:10] ubuntu please read this to check: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [15:10] By the way, how did you make a persistent USB ubuntu???? [15:10] ubuntu, the last link there [15:11] Esigolo, I'm not sure if this will work, but one can disable the onboard card in the BIOS and make the pci card the default. there might be another way to do it. If someone has a different method , pls tell us. [15:11] geirha:what should it say? [15:11] anyone with good knowledge of v4l there? [15:12] thanks bazhang [15:12] ubuntu, you are welcome [15:12] Hey, I've just installed 10.04, then switched to lubuntu-desktop. However with almost nothing running - Mem: 1797288k total, 990288k used, 807000k free, 5228k buffers [15:12] BluesKaj, the borh are offboard cards [15:12] What is happening, is there a hidden memory hog in ubuntu ?! [15:12] cyberfux you talking about video 4 linux and linuxTv? [15:12] solar_sea, what does top in terminal show [15:12] How can I import Bookmarks from Firefox to Epiphany? [15:12] how do I remove ubuntu without messing up windows? [15:12] solar_sea, open a terminal and type top [15:12] bazhang, that's from top, the memory line [15:13] hey ppl [15:13] Esigolo, then you need to make a choice , i think removing the one you don't use is a safe bet. Also remove the nvidia driver . [15:13] bazhang, http://pastebin.com/tWKL3J8J - here [15:13] solar_sea, any processes consuming a large amount? [15:14] solar_sea, looking [15:14] BluesKaj he uses the nvidia for windows, dual booter. [15:14] connect dalnet [15:14] solar_sea, chromium perhaps? lots of flash tabs open etc? [15:14] nah, just opened it so I can post this to pastebin [15:15] hylian just video4linux, it's my effin webcam - totally laggy and timeshifted while taking a vid [15:15] hylian, but why / [15:15] ? [15:15] weird as it is, kde only with all options turned down - went to 1.7 and almost hit swap [15:15] ocatacoo: You can do that in varying degree. Define precisely what you mean by "messing up". [15:15] lxde is around 1gb [15:15] I am not coming close to swap [15:15] I'm using an atom dualcore cpu, with nvidia ion chipset [15:15] Can anybody help me fix the system resume problem on my hp dv5 laptop? [15:15] BluesKaj i just though i would tell you why he has two. i tried to help him to no avail. just thought the info would help [15:15] Esigolo, why use 2 cards for different OSs ? [15:15] What is currently the best supported video card for linux? I don't want to get the biggest and baddest only to find most of the features don't work. [15:15] I want to return a rental laptop [15:16] miked595 tried nvidia geforce? never had problems [15:16] so I want to remove ubuntu [15:16] Got the fancy interface up and only using 40% of my memory... rock on! [15:16] BluesKaj, in fact i just have two grafic cards to use the Physx on windows 7 [15:16] I meant... CPU [15:16] Dupper, then there is something wrong with mine system ot ubuntu's support of it :) [15:16] miked595: Define what you mean by "best supported". [15:16] Hey guys can someone explain to me what 'load' is? [15:16] cyberfux i can't say i am a expert. as a matter of fact i never used it. i actually looked ito it because i was gonna make a tivo out of a old intel box i have lying around. linuxtv was what i was referring to. [15:17] bullgard: you need alot of definition but offer no answer? [15:17] BluesKaj, i'm using dualboot because i was not able to convince my sisters to use linux yet [15:17] wait I guess Ic ould google that [15:17] Esigolo, I use one nvidia card for both W7 and kubuntu...it's an older model 7600gt but it works well [15:18] Dupper: "load" means different things in different areas. In CPU usage it often means the percentage of time a CPU is used under defined conditions. === ocatacoo is now known as oCatacoo [15:18] Dualbooting doesn't mean you need separate cards for each OS, Esigolo [15:18] oCatacoo: I do not need. May be you need something. [15:19] cyberfux so you are trying to find out why your webcam is acting up. im assuming your seeing this problem live and not via the internet, because net conditions can really mess things up [15:19] BluesKaj, my primary VGa is the ATI but the Nvidia deal with game Physx so the ATI render the image and the Nvidia make the Physx effect work [15:19] bullgard: you sk for alot of definition but offer no answer? [15:19] привет вам, люди [15:20] !ru | antuan [15:20] antuan: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [15:20] For managing photos, which is faster, FSpot or Shotwell? Also, for GNOME, is there any other light-weight but decent photo manager? [15:20] !ru | antuan [15:20] cyberfux: bullgard: I have the GeForce 7600 GS now.. it's a little long in the tooth but I can't use the purevideo in it still. I now newer cards have a unix api but other features like SLI i heard are not supported. So looking to avoid unsupported feature and get the best performance [15:21] howdy [15:21] so is this not the ubuntu support channel? [15:21] any news about the splash reso? [15:21] in lucid [15:21] I am looking for a video editor for ubuntu [15:21] hylian yes it's live totally laggy w8 i upload a vid so u can c [15:22] Ayakai: cinelerra, avidemux, stopmotion, blender, lives, openmovieeditor, jahshaka — GNOME: pitivi, kino — KDE: kdenlive — console: gopchop, avidemux-cli [15:22] BluesKaj, i'm going to remove the Nvidia from the computer [15:22] miked595: I do not know the solution to your problem. [15:23] cyberfux i dont need a video. ill take your word for it. hmm. assuming you have the latest drivers for your card (you said it was a bit old) is there a chance that another card is causing some problems? (like a buitl in sis or intel) [15:23] Esigolo, well then you have problem alright , i know there's a command for disabling hardware in ubuntu , and I wish someone would come forward and tell us. [15:23] hi, i am trying to install 10.4 on my notebook. i use the alternate-cd. but i get a blackscreen with any options i tryed. [15:23] hi all [15:23] any ideas? [15:24] wait for the lightworks video editor [15:24] Ayakai, wait for the lightworks video editor === dilo is now known as Guest10869 [15:25] hylian well it's recognized otb and all i could see there is no newer driver, also the ASUS K50IJ was shipped with 10.04 and eery component is fully linux compatible. i THINK it's some weird settings prob, but video is not my world [15:25] my music players - rhythmbox and banshee are crasshing upon opening... [15:25] hi all :-) [15:25] BluesKaj, for now just remove it will solve the problem but I will keep looking for another solution and when I find it i will let you know thaks man [15:25] Esigolo, just out of curiosity, after installing the nvidia driver, did you try that old nvidia disabling command? that might have come with the nvidia driver [15:25] I've searched and searched for codecs that lets me play 3gp files (video recordings from mobile phones) on my Ubuntu machine, without luck. It'll only play the video part. Not the sound. Can anyone help? [15:26] Hi [15:26] mr_lou have you installed the non_free_codecs from medibuntu.org ? === gerrit is now known as Guest94481 [15:26] only vlc functions properly [15:26] What if 'kill -9 1234' does not work? === Guest10869 is now known as maemo [15:26] hylian, true i did not let me try [15:26] hylian see http://n3rd.ws/1.ogv that says it better then words [15:27] mathmoi_: kill -9 as root? [15:27] cybastl, Most probably not, although I do remember vaguely that I've set medibuntu.org somewhere...... [15:27] cyberfux sadly it's not mine either. i would think if your card is 100% compatable it has to eb a software setting or ubuntu glitch. hmm. can you download the pclinuxos 2010 distro? im mwondering if you have the same glitch with that. pclinuxos has some drivers ubuntu hasnt. 2010 for newer cards, 2009 for older. [15:27] i have a problem with rhythmbox, it crashes upon opening [15:28] mathmoi_: If kill -9 as root does not kill the process then I think reset is the only way to clear the process out. [15:28] hylian i could try that but i'm really more a "ubuntu"-geek ;-) also the prob is in OpenSuSE, RedHat, Fedora etc. it LOOKS like settings [15:28] rystraum: Yes, I used sudo. [15:28] guys guys....... may I know, how to download Youtube videos? [15:28] rystraum: reset as in reboot the machine? [15:28] cyberfux if nothing else if you did or did not have a problem with that, it wouls atleast give you some diagnostic direction [15:28] mathmoi_: I believe so. [15:29] hey ppl :-) [15:29] ubuntu the easiest way is to install jdownloader and insert the link, jdownloader also converts it to mp4 or mp3 [15:29] but I am using live usb [15:29] ubuntu: or you can check out /tmp/ after you've finished buffering the video. You can find it there. [15:29] hi all [15:29] I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-intel but nothing happends. why is this?

[15:29] whats your prob classical [15:30] cyberfux ubuntu, for it's few problems, is still way better than pclinuxos. i agree. it's just that 2009 uses older fglrx and nvidia drivers for older cards and 2010 has some specially built drivers as well. good for troubleshooting [15:30] ubuntu open the terminal type cd /tmp/ [15:30] ubuntu: Open the file manager and then go to /tmp/ [15:30] cyberfux, hey :-) i have install xubuntu with alternate cd [15:30] this wideo i very good === heyde is now known as LoucoFuriozo [15:30] I just add [15:30] classical so what's the prob? [15:30] to panel [15:31] Keyboard layouts [15:31] ah....... I am just a home user, I am not pro in terminal [15:31] and layout shortcut [15:31] How can I import Bookmarks from Firefox to Epiphany?

[15:31] hello [15:32] How do I find out which version of Ubuntu I'm currently using? Apparently there's no version command. [15:32] hylian, BluesKaj i'm going to reboot and see if it works be back soon [15:32] is anyone there [15:32] there is not a shortcut i [15:32] ubuntu: Open the File Manager (or otherwise known as Nautilus) and go to /tmp/ [15:32] ubuntu if you want a gui use jdownloader it's the easiest way [15:32] how to use the fdisk [15:32] !version | mr_lou [15:32] mr_lou: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:32] Nautilus, yes === boy is now known as Guest11282 [15:32] !boy | ask [15:32] than you [15:32] Thanks bazhang [15:32] !ask | boy [15:32] boy: 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. :-) [15:33] I am in Nautilus, but what do I do next? [15:33] it is all English ,I cant~~~~ok,i will go [15:33] cyberfux, why this is happening ? :(( [15:33] 有中国人没有? [15:33] ubuntu: press ctrl + L, then type /tmp/ [15:33] classical why is what happening? [15:34] hello [15:34] it does not save changes [15:34] after reboot [15:34] :(( [15:34] my rhythmbox crashes upon starting it... [15:34] The video won't show up there if it's not open in any browser though. [15:34] yes, now I am in /tmp/ [15:34] what next? [15:34] classical in the emortal words of cyberfux "what does not save changes?" [15:34] classical where r u from? [15:34] can someone see my messages? idk if I set up IRC correctly [15:35] I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-intel but nothing happends. why is this? [15:35] cyberfux, Thanks. There were 2 AMR codecs there, installed now, but apparently not the ones needed. [15:35] hylian isn't that phrase correctly "In the immortal words of Khan Noonien Singh 'He tasks me....'" [15:35] maxvaillancourt1 i can see your message [15:35] i remember seeing a way to use the install function of the livecd to repair grub without command line. does anyone know off-hand? === bruno is now known as Guest34542 [15:35] alright, thank you very much hylian! [15:35] ....unless a reboot is needed.... hmm.... [15:35] * mr_lou reboots [15:35] @maxvaillancourt1 we see them [15:35] ubuntu: It should be there. Though it would have some random filename. [15:35] mr_lou funny i have no problems with 3gp neither in mplayer/totem nor in vlc just installed the nonfree from medibuntu do u use 32 or 64 bit? [15:35] cyberfux, im from Georgia [15:35] thanks zip247 :D [15:35] np [15:36] lll [15:36] classical to bad i hoped from germany then i could give u native advise ;-) but first thing: tell us detailed what your problem is [15:36] ah... another question first, will the usb-installed ubuntu work in any PC? since if it was not Live USB mode? because if we install Ubuntu directly to USB by PC A, will it work on PC B, C, D? [15:37] ubuntu: yep. [15:37] rystraum, are you sure about that? [15:37] ubuntu: Yep. Have done it so many times. [15:37] ubuntu: positive [15:37] rystraum, are you sure about that? if yes, then I am gonna install it when I back home [15:37] ubuntu: only if the pc can boot from usb [15:37] ubuntu u can trust rystraum it will work - it's not windows that needs a reinstall after you changed the cpu [15:38] since I am still using Live Mode in a cyber-cafe [15:38] rystraum what happens when you come to a machine for which you do not have the drivers for the harware, lie ati and nvidia drivers? [15:38] ubuntu: Well, take into consideration the BIOS settings first. As long as it can boot via USB, it should be fine. [15:38] rystraum, then we don't need Live mode anymore, am I correct? [15:38] anyone have any ideas why my rhythmbox keeps crasshing anytime i start it? [15:38] hylian: It usually defaults to some generic video driver (that looks bad but should be enough to get you started) [15:39] rystraum, since Live mode is hard to update [15:39] rystraum thanx man, cool beans [15:39] is there a program that will find all of my movies on my HDD and export them to a spreadsheet or something? [15:39] ddavids: Can you post your /var/log/messages/ to some pastebin and post it back here? [15:39] Hey, using ubuntu10.04 on a desktop, any suggestions on a wireless card? [15:39] ubuntu: 0but pls dont innstall it on the PC at the cafe..tht may be illegal [15:39] Hi. Can someone help me set up my printer so that it can be seen over the local network. I'm using a HP printer [15:39] how do I change the close and minimize window back to the right [15:39] does anyone know if esigolo's problem was solved? [15:39] ddavids, what do you mean? [15:40] MajorAstr: It's theme dependent. Just change your theme. [15:40] bobboberson Draft-N or still "old" wifi [15:40] anybody figure out how did this happen during boot? ... hda-intel: spurious response [15:40] ok thanks [15:40] rystraum: i [15:40] i'll do that [15:40] rystraum: i'll do that [15:40] bobbboberson: I use a TP-link Wireless USB Dongle and it works out of the box. [15:40] Okay cyberfux I have just add Keyboard layout (Ge/Georgian) from Application > settings > keyboard setting but there is not a layout shortcut, than i added it to panel and set a layout shortcut but when i reboot this shortcut is not set [15:40] http://goodies.xfce.org/_media/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.3-settings.png?w=&h=&cache=cache [15:41] ddavids, why would I want to install Ubuntu into Cyber-Cafe's PC? they use Windows XP and I wouldn't change their OS without their approve. [15:41] cyberfux, And i have to add it again and again :(( [15:41] rystraum but not every tp-link will work otb,the TL-WN422G for example needs to get ndiswrapped [15:41] Why can't I connect things like my SSHD remotely? [15:41] connect to* [15:41] Plasmastar: what errors are you getting? [15:42] Plasmaster, whats the response? [15:42] classical mhm.... have u tried googling cuz i think i remember there once was a bug [15:42] classical can you call what your trying to do via command? [15:42] cyberfux: good question and something to check. I just moved in here. rystraum: thanks [15:42] even though in Live mode, every update attempt will appear "Failed to install package", but it works eventually! Did you guys know about that?? [15:42] cyberfux: But I use the TL-WN422G. [15:42] None. [15:42] I just can't connect. [15:42] Plasmaster: whats the response of ssh? [15:42] bobboberson / rystraum what always works are cards with the old Realtek RT8187 chipset but they are not draft-n [15:43] even though in Live mode, every update attempt will appear "Failed to install package", but it works eventually! Did you guys know about that?? [15:43] rystraum otb? the one with the external 4dbi antenna? [15:43] Plasmaster: there should be complains from ssh [15:43] Plasmastar: you can do 'ssh -vv [host]' which will give you info about *why* [15:43] ubuntu: But you lose the update anyway once you reboot. [15:43] Weird, isn't it? [15:43] ubuntu, yes, its not persistent, so a reboot will set it back to default live [15:43] Rystraum, really? I haven't try [15:44] cyberfux: Yep. And I'm using 9.10 (haven't gone to 10.04 because I'm working on a project and I don't have the time to deal with a broken system currently) [15:44] sharplinux: It just sits at "Connecting to" [15:44] cyberfux, i have xubuntu 10.04 hylian via command ? i did not get you :(( [15:44] Plasmastar: (-v means "verbose" and -vv means "really verbose") [15:44] what about reseting a Xfce ? [15:44] ok! it works otb till 9.10 but since 10.04 it don't - no clue why [15:44] Did you guys use real USB-Ubuntu well right now? [15:45] Plasmastar: ok, how are you connecting... via a bash shell or some kind of SSH client (like PuTTY)? [15:45] bash shell [15:45] last one was to rystraum sry [15:45] And I was connecting remotely just fine last night. [15:45] Before a reboot and such. [15:45] ubuntu: I usually use Ubuntu on USB just for installing since I install it on my workstations. [15:45] rystraum ok! it works otb till 9.10 but since 10.04 it don't - no clue why (forgotten to add your name) [15:45] Plasmastar: has anything changed? any software updates, anything? [15:45] classical this should help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798555 it is a bug in ubuntu. follow these steps (close to bottom of the page) and you will have this fixed [15:45] Plasmaster: yah try what they suggest it would display something like this: OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu4, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 [15:45] debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config [15:45] debug1: Applying options for * [15:45] debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 [15:45] debug1: Connecting to localhost [::1] port 22. [15:45] scriptwarlock: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:46] debug1: connect to address ::1 port 22: Connection refused [15:46] I haven't updated anything I know of that would change anything. [15:46] Plasmastar: scriptwarlock is right - this is what the -vv flag should output [15:46] rystraum, nope, that's not what I mean [15:46] I noticed. It just sits at "Connecting to" [15:46] I can connect locally fine, but not remotely. [15:47] cyberfux: Well, good thing you pointed it out. I guess I should stay with 9.10 for the meantime until I have the time to deal with it. [15:47] rystraum, nope, that's not what I mean, I mean running Ubuntu on USB-pendriver [15:47] hylian, i have to leave for a few mins , If Esigolo manages to boot back in try to help him if he needs it ..I should be back in 10 mins [15:47] BlueKaj ill try [15:47] not use USB pen driver as a source to install onto other PCs [15:47] Hello all.. I've shared my printer via the printing configuration menu but still can't pick it up in win 7. Am I missing something? [15:47] rystraum fucking 10.04 changed a lot to the bad... and some things haven't changed since dapper, for example the bad webcamtreatment [15:47] cyberfux, watch the language [15:47] Plasmastar: how remotely? do you forward the SSH port or do you have some kind of VPN set up? [15:47] Plasmaster: is this a fresh install? [15:48] DarkStar1 are you in the same workgroup? [15:48] Also How do I query whether or not I have the smbfs plugin? [15:48] bazhang why? i haven't said anything bad [15:48] cyberfux: I don't know.. let me check [15:48] cyberfux, yes, no swearing here [15:48] cyberfux i must be a lucky son of a gun then because 10.04 runs on this machine like a dream. (ati drivers do suck on this though, just tossed my ati x1300 for that reason) [15:48] bazhang you never heard me swear ;-) [15:48] sharplinux: I don't forward, no. It worked fine last night and I haven't changed the router. [15:49] cyberfux: You dropped the f-- bomb. [15:49] rystraum it's a friggin word! [15:49] How do I expose? [15:49] cyberfux, just keep it family friendly. lets move on [15:49] scriptwarlock: I installed yesterday, but I had it going at one point. lol [15:49] Plasmaster: hehehe [15:49] hylian must be ;-) i feel like getting worse since 8.04 [15:49] bazhang ok ok [15:50] Plasmastar: to be clear, you're somewhere outside your local network trying to SSH in? [15:50] Plasmaster: have you tried restarting ssh? [15:50] Could I have installed/activated some kind of firewall? [15:50] sharplinux: Yes. [15:50] * sharplinux is wondering how that works [15:50] cyberfux: does this mean I need to install SAMBA to be able to share?? I see nothing in ubuntu about workgroups [15:50] cyberfux i actually agree with you on that, my ati x1300 worked great untill 8.10. then my driver was "no longer supported" i had to use pclinuxos for years [15:50] Plasmaster: do you mean you havent forwarded the port yet? [15:50] Not to mention, other server apps don't work either. [15:51] scriptwarlock: I haven't seen a need to here. [15:51] Plasmaster: why not if you want to ssh outside [15:51] ubuntu 10.4 and sound is failing. Any testing i can do? any tip? [15:51] hi guys .. i have a problem of invalid encode in some files.. i was reading forum and someone says that i should configure utf8... how can i do that? thanks [15:51] even on your lan [15:51] Plasmaster: Have you tried re-installing openssh-client on your PC? [15:51] Plasmaster: even on your lan [15:52] hylian effin crap shuttleworth is gettin it worse and worse only to "speed up the boot" and other $%&/() [15:52] It's not just openssh that I can't connect to. [15:52] Plasmaster: whatelse [15:52] anyway, thanks for the help for those who answer my questions [15:52] D4m14n, save them w/ utf-8 encoding instead of AASCI, western schemes or anything... [15:52] Anything else. :| [15:52] I hate this cyber-cafe, smoking kids everywhere, stupid shit kids [15:52] Plasmastar: what services do you access remotely [15:52] No connection attempts from the outside are getting to this machine. [15:52] ? [15:52] ubuntu: Language. [15:52] please join #ubuntu-classroom for 'Ubuntu Users Day' those who are interested [15:53] yup. rystraum [15:53] ink to schedule,..... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays [15:53] cyberfux: guess not [15:53] Plasmaster: give us the anything [15:53] ubuntu: Just keep the channel "family-friendly" :) [15:53] Plasmastar: you've verified that the machine is on and not locked up? [15:53] sharplinux: Yes, I'm on it atm. [15:53] rystraum, thanx. [15:54] Can anyone tell me what I'm missing. I'm trying to share my printer but Win 7 doesn't pick it up over the local network [15:54] yup I know. I just can't stand to stay here ..... I am here just for downloading a movie [15:54] ubuntu 10.4 and sound is failing. Any testing i can do? any tip? [15:54] Plasmastar: I mean the remote machine... [15:54] vishal: i have problems with a lots of files... how can i do to save automatic in utf8? [15:54] others are playing stupid games..... [15:54] i mean change my config [15:54] sharplinux: I'm on the machine that I want to attempt to connect to, and can't connect to remotely from the one across the room. [15:54] Shogoot: By failing, you mean it dies down sometime or it just doesn't work? [15:54] Anybody?? [15:55] rystraum, oh... it dosnt play any sound [15:55] Plasmaster: hmm can you do the vnc thing on that? by enabling remote desktop [15:55] sad. 1 hour 22 minutes to go [15:55] and it not muted and the headphones are ok [15:55] Plasmastar: can you ping it? [15:55] Shogoot: Have you verified that all your sound out volume are up and none are muted? [15:55] sharplinux: I can ping, but I think it's the other machine replying. lol [15:55] rystraum, yes [15:55] Is there an ubuntu alternative to freenx? [15:55] DarkStar1 [15:55] hmm [15:55] hello together which file manager is good for ubuntu and windows shares? [15:55] hylian: Yes? [15:56] Plasmastar: do you connect by IP or by hostname? [15:56] technikfreak: Nautilus should be just fine. [15:56] ok [15:56] scriptwarlock: You wouldn't be able to connect. :( [15:56] technikfreak pyneighbourhood is the weapon of choice for me [15:56] * DarkStar1 is instaling SAMNBA [15:56] sharplinux: Both [15:56] DarkStar1, sorry. ok, this is on a local network, and your server is running windows 7, or a local machine is? [15:56] please help ime trying to set up a channel for me and my gf and dont know how to do it [15:56] D4m14n, sorry I also don't know even more than that yet... :( [15:56] Err, IP/Domain [15:56] local machine is win 7 [15:56] vishal: np [15:56] Plasmaster: are you using a 4port router for ics? [15:56] the printer is connected to this machine (lucid 64) [15:56] dad-2-girls-uk, /join #freenode for that [15:56] ok ty [15:57] hylian: the printer is connected to this machine (lucid 64) [15:57] Plasmaster: i mean router [15:57] scriptwarlock: Just some jinky router using DSL. [15:57] rystraum, i tried to install alsa, but its already up to date [15:57] Shogoot: Hmmm. Have it worked ever before? [15:57] hylian: even followed all the instructions on this page: http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/sharing-printers-with-ubuntu-lucid-10-04-lts-and-a-firewall/ [15:57] Plasmaster: is the router giving all the machines a good internet onnections? [15:57] DarkStar1 does windows see that machine at all? (just listed in the network neighborhood? [15:57] Yup. [15:57] rystraum, yes i got a new instal of ubuntu, but it has worked fine before [15:57] guys i think i have problem with my locale because invalid-encode appear in a lots of files [15:57] is possible to change that? [15:58] hylian: No [15:58] Let me get this out, I can boot up to windows and have a remote machine connect just fine. [15:58] Plasmaster: have oyu check the port mapping in the router? or somehting like that [15:58] It's nothing with the router. [15:58] hylian: nor can I see the windows 7 on the network ither. But the machine can ping me [15:58] Plasmaster: yeah thats right [15:59] pyneighbourhood is perfect!!!! [15:59] PLasmastar: Hmmm. Then it's an OS issue, I guess. I'll try to follow what scriptwarlock have found out so far. [15:59] Plasmastar: I would verify that you can ping both machines from each other as a first step [15:59] through 1.2.43 in the older series contain and bug; but we still only have version 1.2.42 of libpng even on lucid http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html :( [15:59] Plasmaster: so the problem is you cant remote to anyone of your machines [15:59] hey im getting a grub error 17, heres a link to a screenshot of sudo fdisk -l... http://imgur.com/dL6uv [15:59] not even the one you are using right now? [15:59] DarkStar1 ok did you follow thes steps listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [16:00] Holy crap. I activated a magnifier. How to disable that? [16:00] Windows+R? [16:00] Plasmaster: lolz [16:00] helppppppp [16:00] hylian: a sec I'll look at it [16:00] Plasmastar: Right click? [16:01] Plasmaster alt f2 then xkill then point at the magnifier. [16:02] hylian: cool! I never knew about xkill [16:02] thats typical. rystraum has the right way to do it. hylian smashes it with a hammer [16:02] brb :| [16:02] Is there a way to install packages from AUR on Ubuntu? [16:02] Ubuntu 10.4 is not playing any sound. I installed the mediaubuntu codec and are using vlc. (if that has soemthing to do with it) Ive had sound on ubuntu on other ubuntu instal on this machine, but this fresh install is not playing sounds. Not muted and volumes are set to 100%. Anyone that can help? [16:02] Plasmaster: ok lets go back to your issue [16:02] OmegaWork: AUR? [16:02] xkill can be a usefull tool [16:02] rystraum: Arch User Repository. [16:03] up for the xkill [16:03] I like Ubuntu, but I like their software selection. [16:03] OmegaWork: have you heard of launchad, PPA ¿ [16:03] xangua: Yes, yes I have. [16:03] OmegaWork: AUR are like PPA, see if there is an equivalent PPA for what you are looking for. mixing repos is a bad idea [16:03] OmegaWork: you can easilly configure extra repositories with ubuntu tweak if that's what you want OmegaWork [16:04] Now, have you heard of a way to accomplish my task? [16:04] Shogoot: Have you tried verifying the levels from the CLI via alsamixer? [16:04] Hmm. [16:04] hylian: Ok I already did those steps but I didn't restart the service. Done so now. Gimme a sc to find out [16:04] OmegaWork: I seriously doubt it would work - very different packaging architectures... [16:04] rystraum, no. how do i do that? [16:04] Why exactly is mixing repos's a bad idea? [16:04] I'm having issues withh pptp and vpn in the gnome environment -- are there any know bugs in this area? [16:04] I have another issue that might be easier to fix. === lx__ is now known as anonym_ [16:04] I've encountered instances wherein it's muted in alsamixer but it doesn't show up in the GUI sound levels [16:04] what does ~/ mean ? [16:05] I'm using the NVidia driver and the resolution keeps changing when I relog/reboot. === anonym_ is now known as lx_la [16:05] home [16:05] OmegaWork: for one: different packaging system as mentioned by sharplinux [16:05] How can I stop that? It's a very small resolution. lol [16:05] hylian: no. still not showing [16:05] GrUbEr111: The home directory of whichever user you are logged in. [16:05] Plasmaster: yo thats a good issue === [SW]Dodge`oFF is now known as [SW]Dodge [16:05] Does Arch and Ubuntu install software to different locations? [16:05] Shogoot: Open the terminal and type alsamixer [16:05] OmegaWork: very possibly [16:05] rystraum a customers alsa mixer wouldnt except the gui's command, so ihad to use a terminal command, forgot it now, but maybe that would help [16:05] No, it's a small resolution, like 300x300 or something. XD [16:05] It shouldn't be changing anyways. :( [16:06] arch and ubuntu are not even cousins, more like very distant relatives [16:06] Why thanks, my good people. [16:06] That I am aware of. [16:06] DarkStar1 well you can ping it, and it's set up right, hmm. any chance for some strange reason that a router is blocking a port or something? [16:06] Hey, new to Linux and Ubuntu here. I saw the "05_debian_theme" (background for Grub) tweak and copied it letter by letter (except for obvious exceptions), but I can't get it to work for the life of me. Here's my '05_debian_theme' file - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=qN94y147 [16:06] Plasmaster: is that a usplash? [16:07] so like ~ is currant user, and / is home? couldn't you just use cd desktop? [16:07] DarkStar1 did you reboot both machines? [16:07] scriptwarlock: usplash? [16:07] PPA's are a bit of a bother in my opinion, they require you to get the GPG keys of the repo and such. [16:07] Looking around, most places say that "JPG" files won't work (although the Ubuntu User magazine says otherwise), so I tried a tga file, and still no dice. [16:07] master - headhphone and speaker has gren withe and red bar. [16:07] OmegaWork: for one thing, I imagine the /etc/rc.d/ scripts in arch packages would not cleanly port to the /etc/init.d/ scripts used by Ubunut [16:07] hylian: nah.. Didn't think a reboot is required for ubuntu [16:07] some are MM wich i guess is muted? [16:07] *Ubuntu [16:07] Plasmaster: forget it no its not [16:08] Kcarevo: The for loop doesn't know when the current iteration stops. [16:08] Plasmastar, you have to allow write access to the file where the config is help [16:08] DarkStar1 it probably isnt, but i always do that as a step, windows can be a beat when setting up networks, and sometimes refuses to see change till reboot. but thats xp, dont know about 7 === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out [16:08] rystraum - should I initialize i? [16:08] Now how do I do that? [16:08] Plasmastar, one can put up with ppa just for the time needed to install whatever package it contains, then just remove it unles you want daily builds [16:08] Plasmaster: i was looking actualy on my usplash reso during boot sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf [16:09] OmegaWork: you can use sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" to add both the ppa and the gpg key [16:09] Kcarevo: I think you should have "done;" where the for-loop should re-iterate. That's from the top-of-my-head recall of bash syntax. [16:09] Plasmastar, I'm not at an nvidia machine atm but somone should be able to point you to the file then "man chmod" ie: sudo chmod 755 [16:10] I'm looking into cmake, can i use it to compile rpms for centos on an ubuntu box? [16:10] !info chmod | Plasmastar [16:10] Plasmastar: Package chmod does not exist in lucid [16:10] rystraum - Ok, let me add that and see what the grub-ubdate does [16:10] ok [16:10] um im using lucid, and i have chmod'd several bin's already [16:10] Woops. I thought ubottu have commands in its list too. >_< [16:10] itguru, not a good policy ...rpms can break your system [16:11] !rpms [16:11] Plasmaster: have you tried startup manager? a gui to adjust some boot reso and etc [16:11] !rpm [16:11] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [16:11] rystraum, yeah ubottu has limitations [16:11] The target is not an debian based system, i'm looking into cross compiling [16:11] rystraum, how do i change the "MM" status? [16:11] rystraum - Hm, you mean just add a final line with "done;", right? I'm not familiar with any kind of Linux script... and it still isn't showing up in the update [16:11] I'm pretty new to ubuntu scriptwarlock :( === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [16:12] As in building rpms/debs to latest source to provide consistancy across a development farm of machines [16:12] itguru can you get this software in bin format. because then from sudo you can chmod a+x the file then ./filename [16:12] Shogoot: pressing 'm' should toggle it. [16:12] Shogoot, if you're refering to the alsa config , the "M" key [16:13] Kcarevo: I'm not familiar with what the script is trying to achieve. Can you give me an overview of what you want done? [16:13] Plasmaster: try startup manager [16:13] Kcarevo: Maybe there's another way to do it. [16:13] rystraum, got sound from my own mic now. [16:13] gotta go, lunch. [16:13] Plasmaster: at the ubuntu software center see how it works for you [16:13] Shogoot: But still no sound from applications? [16:13] no sound from the film im playing though [16:13] rystraum, aye [16:13] I dont know how to configure my microphone to use skype in ubuntu 9.10 [16:14] Shogoot: I guess it's an application issue. What app are you using? [16:14] vlc [16:14] josue click on the speaker in the top right of your screen and go to 'sound preferences' [16:14] ok [16:14] Plasmaster: instead of messing on grub2 you can use that.. [16:15] and make sure you have the right input selected in the input tab [16:15] Shogoot: What does Tools -> Preferences -> Audio (In 'All' settings) have? [16:15] Add/Remove? [16:15] done [16:15] Plasmastar: which version of Ubuntu are you running? [16:15] Plasmaster: are you using the previous ubuntu? not lucid yet? [16:15] rystraum - I added a picture, "londonbridge.jpg" to /usr/share/images/grub", and copied the script that you have seen from "Ubuntu User". What it should do is place the "londonbridge.jpg" image behind the GRUB bootloader, but it isn't even recognized in the "update-grub" [16:16] Plasmaster: yes at the add/remove [16:16] sharplinux: Pretty old one. haha [16:16] rystraum - it seems that the script is pretty old, but it is still used [16:16] rystraum, seems ok things are enabled [16:16] josue did you have to make any changes? [16:16] Jaunty whatever [16:16] im geting a grub error 17, any ideas? [16:16] Plasmastar: do you know which version? [16:16] no [16:16] 9.04 [16:16] ding! had a value to -1 [16:16] put it on +1 i now got sound [16:16] Shogoot: make that Tools -> Preferences -> Audio -> Output modules [16:16] Plasmaster: ok thats add/remove [16:16] rystraum - And since I haven't found any similar problems, I get the feeling that I'm doing something stupid [16:17] Plasmastar: no problem - that's still supported, but it's pre-Ubuntu Software Center [16:17] Can anyone point me to where i can find sources with "fun" tools like nmap/netcat [16:17] josue go back to the input tab in the sound preferences and see if the input level graph moves when you talk into the mic... also make sure its not muted at the top [16:17] Shogoot: Problem solved? :) [16:17] How to tell my nokia 2700 classic to use my computer internet to sync to ubuntuone? [16:17] rystraum, yes! thanks [16:17] fridgerator it doesnt move while I talk [16:17] and its not mutted [16:18] If I play an mp3 using audacity, it sounds OK, but if I play it with the Movie player or Rythmbox it sounds like gibberish.. Is the movie player and Rythmbox using the wrong codec? [16:18] Kcarevo: Hmmm. It's not in my current set of expertise just yet so I'm afraid I would be of little help right now. Sorry. [16:18] josue is it just a mic plugged into the mic port on your sound card? [16:18] rystraum - Thanks anyway - I'll see if I get the same problem on another computer [16:18] I'm using a laptop inspiron [16:19] josue is it a built in mic then? [16:19] rystram an u help with my grub issue? [16:19] fuhreal: they are in the standard repositories [16:19] yeap [16:19] its built in [16:19] Plasmaster: after you isntalled the startup manager launch it at system>adminstration>startup manager [16:19] sharplinux really? I seem to have trouvble findding nmap [16:19] I've been using it in windows [16:19] I couldn't find it. lol [16:19] Plasmaster: finish installing startup manager?

[16:20] fuhreal, jsut go to terminal and type nmap, if u have it, it will run [16:20] Plasmaster: then ALT+f2 and type startupmanager [16:20] sharplinux Both..... [16:20] GrUbEr111 : What's your GRUB issue again? I'm afraid I was keeping track of a lot of issues. @_@ [16:20] fuhreal@fuhreal-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install nMap [16:20] I just found it in Add/Remove [16:20] josue go into the hardware tab in the sound preferences, does it show "interntal audio", "analog stereo duplex" ? [16:20] Package nmap is not available, but is referred to by another package. [16:20] internal* [16:20] Plasmaster: ok fire it up [16:21] fridgerator yes, it show that [16:21] fuhreal: don't use a captial "M" [16:21] GrUbEr111 I don't have it installed yet [16:21] fuhreal: sudo apt-get install nmap [16:21] fuhreal: try sudo apt-get install nmap and see which results you have. [16:21] installing :P [16:21] fuhreal: ubuntu package names are all lowercase [16:21] ruhreal then type sudo apt-get install nmap into your terminal window [16:21] sharplinux yah, i tried that ..... didn't work, so i tried capitolizing the N then the M ... [16:21] If nmap is referred by another package, it should be one of those packages that show up when you press tab [16:21] rystraum trying [16:22] josue hmm, im not sure then, maybe try running 'hardware drivers' to see if you need a 3rd party driver [16:22] after I change some setting at gconf-editor, are they supposed to work immediately or do I have to apply the changes somehow? [16:22] werneck: It applies immediately. [16:22] ok, What shoud I do and how?

I need to turn the duplex speed to 10 full but cant get ethtool or mii-tool onto the machine to do so. Some help on getting the packages from the laptop on to a usb would be much appreciat [16:41] fuhreal: it can be done manually if you prefer, but I would do it via the GUI - it's much more straightforward [16:42] i dont know haha [16:42] GrUbEr111: Is the 533.7Gb media on your desktop your linux partition?

Newer is not always better, depending on the user and hardware. [18:33] does pulse have it's own fifo like /dev/dsp?

[18:35] vladimirm: open a terminal and run: tail -f /var/log/syslog. Then in another terminal re-run your connect script and look for clues as to where it is failing in the syslog [18:35] sbaker48, ctrl + alt + T for terminal [18:35] and the only way to fix it is manual reboot [18:35] Caer: i'm not sure what you mean. nice/renice might also help.

[19:03] alexander__, good news then [19:03] nonez, Does the drive show up in places -> computer ?? [19:03] nonez: you can re4ad/write ntfs just fine on linux. [19:03] nonez: should show up in the places menu and let you mount/access it. [19:04] the drive shows up and sisk manager can mount and unmount it and tells me its ntfs - but I dont see anything on it [19:04] who knows - maybe I cleaned it off before putting it in storage [19:04] abhi_nav: rebooting takes me to a grub> prompt.... no boot options.

As long as a binary is running it won't be deleted from the filesystem. [19:56] Dr_Willis: voila! :D works [19:56] thank you [19:56] Jordan_U: guess so. seems odd that the remioving the apache2 package dident stop apache first. but remioving the configs/common package did. [19:56] hi all [19:57] Dr_Willis: Init scripts are not architecture dependant and therefore are kept in -common packages. [19:57] I'm trying to set up a dual screen setup with the nouveau driver, but when xorg starts it says "no devices detected". This is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.org/388569 [19:57] jordanwb, hi jordan, i'm getting error message "no such file or directory", exact command was touch /foo/bar am i doing something wrong? [19:57] yeah you do [19:57] so I just ran sudo apt-get install wine and it says "could not get lock... unable to lock admin directory" what's up with this? I got the command off the ubuntu forums [19:57] Saruji: each directory in the path must exist [19:58] Saruji: the foo directory in / must exist [19:58] Dr_Willis: So while it could be argued that removing apache2 should stop apache, it's not surprising that it doesn't. [19:58] i wonder if touch has the -p option to make the parrent dirs [19:58] it does not [19:58] jordanwb, hmm ok, that is the case, maybe i should check permissions? [19:58] alexander_, another package manager is open, or you are installing something now [19:58] hi pondera [19:58] saruji: mkdir /foo; touch /foo/bar [19:59] hi preecher [19:59] hi jacob [19:59] Dr_Willis: well it does not... becouse creating files is not what touch does... it is just a side effect of its main "job" [19:59] BrazilianHacker, did you have a support question? [19:59] jordanwb, hmm ok, thank you, question, would it amke a difference if it where done on a Unix ssytem? [19:59] BrazilianHacker, please dont greet people as they join [19:59] saruji: I don't think so [19:59] jordanwb, thanks [19:59] thanks bazhang i'm slowly getting the "hang" of this OS ;) me like. [20:00] how do i get my window buttons back to the right side instead of the left side in 10.4 [20:00] !controls | preecher [20:00] preecher: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[20:04] in during greeting storm [20:04] i ther any one [20:05] i need help plz [20:05] I had initially thought that it was a graphics card problem... why Lucid wasn't installing, but Karmic won't either, so I think it's a x64 problem. I have KArmic x86 installed now and everything works well. [20:05] need help [20:05] Any ideas? [20:05] Guest66119, just ask. [20:06] !details | Guest66119 [20:06] Guest66119: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[20:06] how does one give permissions to their current user (not sudo) that would allow them to edit /opt/* (recursive) ? [20:06] I hate when people ask such broad questions as this but, in your experiences, is Ubuntu LTS well suited as a stable web server ?

[20:13] not to worry [20:13] dancrew32: but it's not a good idea [20:14] Is there a alt ubuntu netbook install cd? [20:14] jordanwb, what are the consequences of chowning this directory recurrsively? [20:15] dancrew32: I don't know, but it's really not a good idea to change the ownership of files outside of your home directory [20:15] ah okay.. but would it really be that dangerous if my opt groups were just for local development? [20:15] !unr | AndrewX192 [20:15] AndrewX192: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens.

[20:16] dancrew32: you can install apache, php, etc using the package manager [20:16] dancrew32: but if that's what you were doing then no I don't think there'd be a problem [20:16] AndrewX192, install a base system the the ubuntu-netbook-remix package? [20:16] okay cool. thanks jordanwb [20:17] bazhang, Like from the Ubuntu Server install cd? [20:17] AndrewX192: no there's a minimal CD that you should use [20:17] Hi, I read a comment on a blog about installing a preemptive kernel to increase boot speed.. how can I do this? I'm not sure exactly what it means, does it mean a kernel specific for my CPU? [20:17] AndrewX192, from the alternate is what you were asking I thought, but that should work as well [20:17] KnifeySpooney, the rt-kernel? [20:18] bazhang: sorry I don't know what that is [20:18] KnifeySpooner: sudo apt-get install linux-preempt [20:18] KnifeySpooner: Also, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-preempt [20:18] KnifeySpooney, for audio work mostly (realtime iirc) [20:18] bazhang, well the only reason why I want to do this is to get the installed size down === oliver1804_ is now known as oliver1804_1 [20:18] bazhang, I [20:18] er [20:19] AndrewX192, should work, never tried it myself === Horus is now known as Guest46885 [20:19] bazhang, I'm going to make some pretty big changes to this install, and have a dual SD/HDD boot [20:19] KnifeySpooney: Also, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-preempt linux-preempt [20:19] arrg [20:19] bazhang, why wouldn't ubuntu use this by default if it's faster? [20:19] jordanwb, I couldn't find linux-preempt but `apt-cache search preempt` shows linux-rt .. is that it? [20:20] KnifeySpooney, no idea there sorry; rt-kernel is for special case uses (as in audio production) [20:20] KnifeySpooney: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

This is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.org/388569 [20:27] KnifeySpooney: you probably don't need the rt kernel unless you're doing audio work, real-time doesn't mean higher performance, it just imposes constraints on when operations start and how long they take [20:28] Hi.

[20:59] <_jesse_> Gandalf84: like FM/AM? no, different wavelengths [20:59] <_jesse_> or frequencies rather [20:59] xangua: when I do that AIM is not an option - I think it is *supposed* to be available, but it's not available on my empathy client. [20:59] As I understand it, AIM support came relatively late to empathy [21:00] there is a bandpass filter in the WLAN card? [21:00] I think that since I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 my "new" empathy may be suffering from some legacy 9.10 issues [21:00] aubreyja: what version of ubuntu are you using¿¿ i see aim as an option in lucid lynx [21:01] then try to reinstall empathy and empathy-common or to delete your empathy preferences aubreyja [21:02] can i acquire radio signal for some times?

[21:13] I've Win7 x64, too. [21:13] LorgonJortle: I had that problem with x64 installation discs on one of my computers, but I chalked it up to a hardware issue (bad CD ROM) without really knowing if it was the cause [21:14] I've used 4 different discs, and I've checked the MD5 of the two ISOs I've used. [21:14] No problems. [21:14] there is a way to acquire TV and Radio signal with a TV card? i want to analize the signal in time and frequency [21:15] LorgonJortle: can you try a bootable USB? [21:15] hi [21:15] <_jesse__> Gandalf84: sounds like you need special equipment, you can capture a cable signal with a tv tuner though [21:15] <_jesse__> Gandalf84: assume there is similar devices for radio [21:15] sharplinux: I could... I guess I'll try that next.

[21:19] aubreyja: mmmm no idea then, it shows for me :S [21:20] if I cant find a linux driver for my USB wireless adapter am I totally out of luck? or is there somethign else I can try? [21:20] alkisg: And no one has adapted it to work with 10.04? [21:20] Purpley: It doesn't :/ iPhone works but not android. Where does rhythmbox know that it has to handle the directory /media/xyz/MP3 as a deparate device? [21:20] logdog: see if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:20] how do i get rid of an installation including the package file? [21:20] its this adapter: http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/belkin/belkin-f7d2101-wireless-windows-drivers-software.htm [21:20] i have a program that requires libmysqlclient.co.15. do you guys know what package i need to install? [21:20] Purpley: no, I don't think so. Sure we can try installing an older kernel but personally I don't mind waiting, it's for my daughter's netbook so I haven't bothered to try. [21:21] xangua: do you know where empathy account information is stored - evidently not in gconf - the other accounts I registered still show up. [21:21] i tried to install libmysqlclient-dev, but it doesnt work [21:21] vlt: Im not sure, my android phone has worked with rythmbox but then again its sd card is ext3 [21:21] The safe mode option is not there! [21:21] alkisg: Would anything bad happen if I tried installing the old kernel without a fresh install? [21:22] Because im really stuck here and sick of all this vista nonsense [21:22] like is there some kind of generic realtek wireless driver that might work with that or something? [21:22] jaypro: it may be that your program doesn't know where that file is installed (assuming you're installing from source?) [21:22] <_jesse__> !who | Gandalf84 [21:22] Gandalf84: 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 :) [21:22] <_jesse__> Gandalf84: but on that note, I'm not familiar with the type of software you'd need [21:22] I'm trying to remove a broken package i installed [21:22] Purpley: no installing multiple kernels shouldn't be a problem. You'll need the linux headers too for dkms to compile the driver headers I think... [21:23] _jesse__ ok [21:23] it won't get removed [21:23] What does it mean if there is no Safe graphics option????? [21:23] used all type of forcing [21:23] alkisg: Where might those be located online? [21:23] dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq [21:23] non of them worked [21:23] Purpley: which one do you want? [21:23] tried to search for it in dpkg's cache and couldn't find it [21:23] Ox8O: i had that problem earlier today, however i reinstalled ubuntu then :s [21:23] http://reinep.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/ubuntu-10-04-a.jpg - whats that? :| [21:23] it's a really annoying problem [21:24] is it gnome shell ? [21:24] reverse821, that's not a solution [21:24] iksik: ubuntu netbook edition [21:24] oh [21:24] What makes rhythmbox decide what mounted device to show in its list of media players? [21:24] Ox8O: i know... but i wasn't done setting up the system anyway and i wanted it all clean [21:24] and in the end it was so scrambled i just reinstalled [21:24] alkisg: I already downloaded the actual .deb kernel from http://mirror.globo.com/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic_2.6.31-14.48_i386.deb but where might the headers be? [21:24] hello S.O.S. [21:24] What does it mean if there is no Safe graphics option????? PLS help [21:24] Ox8O: do you know the path to the apt cache? i can't remember it [21:25] sharplinux ahh hrmm.... well, yeah it says "no such file or directory". assuming i installed the right package, youre probably right. i'll look into it. Thanks! [21:25] it was like /var/apt/archives but i can't find it anymore [21:25] reverse821: /var/cache/apt/ [21:25] Dr_Willis: thanks :) [21:25] i've finally gotten into a chat room but i had to switch to windows to do it. why won't chat work in ubuntu? (i have only this dual-boot laptop) [21:25] Please help this is my last hope [21:25] Petertatt: depends on how you are trying to chat [21:26] Purpley: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic/download ? [21:26] logdog: clarify the exact issue you are having to the channel. [21:26] I need the Safe graphics option in the 10.04 live CD but I cannot find it [21:26] jaypro: just a thought - hope it helps :-) [21:26] alkisg: Oh durr sorry :) [21:27] well i've tried to use the mail tab in the upper right corner of ubuntu. i can't figure it out or it doesn't work. Also, going online to irc chat rooms in firefox brings me to errors instead of rooms or rooms where i'm the only one in it [21:27] logdog: I was looking at the 10.04 install disc just now and I can see that the documentation is out of date :-/ [21:27] i have many many questions i don't want to spam. pm? [21:27] uh oh :( [21:28] what should I do?????? [21:28] i need to figure out ubuntu because i hate windows. i'm normally a mac user by choice.

(there is a signal, i tested via smartphone) [21:30] i've been even learning UNIX. [21:30] hi [21:30] Petertatt: why not use an IRC client to get to irc chat rooms not firefox. :) they tend to work better. [21:30] Petertatt, first go through that ubuntu manual, if still you have question you can sure ask here. :) [21:30] Petertatt we got all her address book, iCal stuff transfered over [21:31] When I try to start php5-cgi, I get PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0 -- that file contains just mcrypt.so and a comment on line 1 [21:31] This makes php5-cgi fail to start. Any clues how to fix this? === m00se is now known as `mOOse` [21:31] so where do sources added via add-apt-repo go? they're not in sources.list? [21:31] Is there a way to fix the grub bootloader directly from windows 7? Im talking about the thing when windows writes over grubs bootloader so you cant boot into linux [21:32] <_jesse_> !grub | Purpley [21:32] Purpley: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [21:32] Purpley, just boot a livecd and sudo grub-install /dev/sdX (X = what your hd is) [21:32] newly, my notebook still hangs to a non known time and at the display i see only a little white cube in the top left corner, any idea? [21:32] i'm worried to leave the web page (this). because this is where everything has been pointing me. #ubuntu i've done nothing but stressful pointless online reading. i need a person S.O.S. [21:33] duffydack: Very well [21:33] reverse821: look in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory [21:33] Petertatt, you first read that manual. [21:33] sharplinux: got it, thanks :) [21:33] Purpley, its that simple. there is no windows grub installer I know of.. [21:34] i've been reading the manual in sections that apply to what i need to know. it makes stuff sound simple and doesn't address my problems [21:34] what problems do you have Petertatt¿¿ [21:34] duffydack: I know i just hate booting up to live cds :P [21:34] Petertatt, what is your problem? [21:34] [21:35] i'll type "sudo apt-get whatever" into terminal to download and it fails 90% of the time [21:35] Purpley, if it does the job, suck it up :) [21:35] Petertatt: 'sudo apt-get install mc' fails ? whats the error message? [21:35] Petertatt, why not use software center? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:35] My upgrade to 2010.1 seems to be working. [21:35] Petertatt: also be sure to do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' If things seem messed up. [21:36] adding repositories in software center or whatever failed when i was following a tutorial [21:36] Petertatt: what repositories¿ [21:36] i tried "sudo apt-get update and it went to 98% and stayed for hours in a loop [21:36] !details | Petertatt [21:36] Petertatt: 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 ..." [21:36] i don't remember [21:36] lol [21:36] 10.0.4 [21:36] Purpley, maybe someone else can say yes/no on this, but would ubuntu portable (the ubuntu running while running windows) be able to grub-install? [21:36] ¿¿ [21:37] Petertatt: do as dwillis said and paste(bin) the output here [21:37] it hard because i'm in windows right now [21:37] Hi [21:37] how do i get here from ubuntu [21:37] ? [21:37] hi [21:37] hey [21:37] what are the best compiz settings? [21:37] Petertatt: ir.ubuntu.com is the server, pidgin can be used or other [21:37] Hey guys, I have an HP pavilion a1657c with a remote control and an IR receiver, usually this kit is made to be used with windows media center, but i'm using now ubuntu and I'm wondering is there a way to configure the remote and the IR receiver with ubuntu, thx in advance [21:38] every time i try to connect to irc chat while in ubuntu i get nowhere. it can't connect to the room or i'm the only one in there [21:38] Petertatt: one way is with firefox: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu [21:38] n0a1ias: The "best" compiz settings are determined by whatever customization you prefer. [21:38] like the ones u see in the videos [21:38] Petertatt: i *typo^ irc.ubuntu.com is the server, pidgin can be used or other [21:38] hey guys, why doesn't pidgin work anymore? [21:38] n0a1ias: Me, I have four desktops each with their own icons, I'm using Emerald to correct Mr. Shuttleworth's UI error, etc. [21:38] Petertatt: try xchat to join irc [21:38] i know it sounds crazy but i've followed tutorials went online ect ect [21:38] er0th: What error are you getting related to pidgin in /var/log/messages? [21:38] i downloaded xchat [21:38] emerald? [21:38] er0th: (You'll need root to read it.) [21:39] er0th: define doesn't work and with what account, mine does [21:39] Petertatt: can't you even but buntu anymore ? [21:39] xchat is nice [21:39] n0a1ias: It's a window decorator. [21:39] i prefer chatzilla though [21:39] ok thanks [21:39] er0th: mine does fine [21:39] * duffydack uses mouse gestures to access scale and expo and to access desktops.. s [21:39] Petertatt: can't you even boo buntu anymore ? [21:39] boo? [21:39] downloading xchat gave me a folder named xchat... with non human files in it. where's the program [21:39] it can be customized with css and javascript plugins [21:40] Petertatt: can't you even boot buntu anymore ?, typo -king here today [21:40] this is xchat [21:40] Petertatt: you can't install from repositories¿ [21:40] Petertatt, application=>internet=>xchat [21:40] everything everydownload seems to end in a deadend, failure, or error [21:40] can somebody help me troubleshoot my mobile broadband? it's not connecting - and i don't know why. (there is a signal, i tested via smartphone) [21:40] xangua: I think he's on Windows at the moment. [21:40] Petertatt: What OS are you running *right this moment* ? [21:40] Petertatt, you need some one personally face to face to solve your problem. :) [21:40] Hey all! I tried installing the lastest Ubuntu Version from the website - The Version with Xfce. After install it just reboots, loads ubuntu and ends up with a black screen. Can anyone hel? [21:41] abhi_nav: :) [21:41] Well, not even the livedisc starts [21:41] i can boot into ubuntu. i'm using windows vista on my girlfriends computer [21:41] DasEi, :) [21:41] i dont even get to install [21:41] oh ok, you r in pjirc [21:41] patrick--, when the screen goes black, is there a little white icon in the top left corner? [21:41] Petertatt: can you boot into Ubuntu while staying on Windows? [21:41] Petertatt: can't you even boot buntu anymore [21:41] Petertatt: XChat isn't compatible w/ Windows. [21:41] Petertatt: (might save the trouble) [21:41] n0a1ias: negative [21:42] no dual-boot option at startup [21:42] like you would see in terminal [21:42] i mean i have a dual boot option at startup [21:42] can anyone reccomend a good PCI-X 8 port raid controller for debian/ubuntu? I am looking at the HP Smart Array 600... [21:42] o idk then, sorry im new to ubontu too [21:42] * abhi_nav says Best of luck to you all guys. Bye. gn. :) [21:42] Petertatt: can you still boot ubuntu or not ? [21:42] i downloaded xchat for ubuntu within ubuntu [21:42] what is the defult button to start rain on ur desktop? [21:42] Petertatt: I mean, can you boot up your computer and use it alongside your girlfriend's? [21:42] A block device /dev/sdd1 is mounted to /media/ with a /media//MP3 directory. How can I make this appear as device in rhythmbox? [21:42] n0a1ias: this is also my problem, with the white cube, what is it? [21:43] no this is the only computer with wireless card [21:43] heh, Petertatt's getting attacked by helpful people :-) [21:43] Petertatt: you come up with more and more details, could you repeat all your issues in one question ? [21:43] i'm trying to keep up [21:44] When booting the Ubuntu Installdisc i end up on a black screen and it throws me to another tty - can somone assist? [21:44] just dive in and install it [21:44] jahn10, open terminal, and look at the text icon, if its like that just hit the reset button on your computer to do a hard reset [21:44] what is the defult button to start rain on ur desktop? [21:44] vlt: Simply scanning for media in rhythmbox didn't do anything? [21:44] Petertatt: When you say "downloaded" did you do it via Synaptic or did you pull it from a webpage? [21:44] howdo we send direct or pvt msg to the user ? [21:45] i could tell more info if i could re-login here #ubuntu. But i've had trouble getting on chat within ubuntu. even while in firefox @ http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu [21:45] whu [21:45] Petertatt: it would help for you to be on Ubuntu while in channel... can you try booting into it and using xchat or Chatzilla (Firefox addon)? [21:45] why [21:45] dp_: /msg UserName [21:45] dp_: first ask for, then /query [21:45] click their names [21:45] dp_: user on your machine, or on irc? [21:45] what is the defult button to start rain on ur desktop? [21:45] hmm, I reinstalled ubuntu to / , however I ended up with a full install on / , it should have installed just the OS ...what did i forget ? I now have 10G /home and 340G /home [21:45] xchat downloaded but i don't understand the folder it left me with. no program to open just random looking files inside. [21:45] Petertatt: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/ [21:45] sharplinux: Heh. I run Pidgin. [21:45] what's pidgin [21:45] maybe Petertatt downloaded the xchat source [21:46] Petertatt: Pidgin is a multi-protocol IM client. Like Trillian, for Windows. [21:46] But this is cross-platform, which Trillian is not. [21:46] or pidgin.....for windows [21:46] guys i am having problem with my sound and i am fighting to fix it for the past 2-3 hours any help would be appreciated [21:46] Petertatt, if you are using windows, get the windows installer [21:46] Is there no more non-graphical installroutine to Ubuntu? [21:46] It's also the *old* default IM client. [21:46] patrick--: Synaptic. [21:47] pidgin > empathy [21:47] installing ubuntu itself [21:47] IConrad01: I use pidgin too... right now I'm in quassel but my client of choice is irssi usually :-) [21:47] but downloading in general within ubuntu has been infinately troubling. [21:47] IConrad01: No. I can see the files in the directory but no device in rhythmbox. [21:47] not package management [21:47] patrick--: Aside from that, from CLI you can use apt-get or aptitude. [21:47] IConrad01: installing ubuntu itself. [21:47] even for little stuff like chat [21:47] Petertatt: it will get very confusing this way, answers are neede, I will else draw back [21:47] patrick--: Oh. Alternative CD. [21:47] Petertatt, what package managers are for.. [21:47] patrick--: That is, the alternative CD is CLI. [21:47] ... [21:47] ok [21:47] thx [21:47] How does one find where grub is installed? [21:47] Petertatt: could you repeat all your issues in one question ? === zac is now known as Guest40653 [21:48] i'll try give me a sec [21:48] to think [21:48] Heya! [21:48] Petertatt, it doesnt get much easier than firing up software centre, typing in xchat and clicking install [21:48] zac: /boot/grub [21:48] How does one find where grub is installed? Super grub disk can't even find it [21:48] zac: out from : grub-version ? [21:49] Guest40653: ^ [21:49] Guest40653: It's in /boot/grub. Short of that you'll need to determine where your /boot directory is. [21:49] Dasei grub 2 [21:49] #1 cant' connect to any chat method within ubuntu (for some reason) #2 downloading: whether from the terminal or the web repeatidly won't work [21:49] internet is fine [21:49] Iconrad01 I know it is, super grub disk can't find it though [21:49] Guest40653: there are few dirs, /etc/default/grub is one .. [21:49] Guest40653: Are you booted to the machine? [21:50] It sees the ubuntu partition [21:50] anybody with knowledge in ubuntu pls help me in fixing my sound problem [21:50] Iconrad01 yes [21:50] Guest40653: execute 'mount' [21:50] i've looked thru software center at the vague software descriptions. but you can just search for any app that runs on ubuntu? [21:50] or what [21:50] Guest40653: what exactly are you looking for ? [21:50] Guest40653: If your /boot directory is not on its own partition, then you're looking for wherever root is mounted. [21:50] Petertatt, you arent making any sense. 1 problem at a time, but you need to be using ubuntu before we can help you [21:50] Guest40653: That's where Grub is. The specific path is /boot/grub [21:50] Guest40653: Do you have GRUB2 installed or GRUB legacy? Super GRUB2 Disk currently only detects GRUB2 installations. [21:51] Petertatt, are you still in windows vista? [21:51] Jordan_U: 2 [21:51] Jordan ahh that is the problem then [21:51] yes [21:51] Petertatt: all apps in the software center will run on your system [21:51] what is the best program for making a LAN where i can tansfer files to a computer that runs Ubuntu 10.04 to a computer that runs Windows 7 Starter [21:51] the_flying_os, samba [21:51] can somebody help me troubleshoot my mobile broadband? it's not connecting - and i don't know why. I have had this issue for weeks now - and no one seems to help. it would already be good to find out, at what stage the connection manager stops. i have so far re-installed ubuntu and deleted an set up the connection what feels like 100 times... i am thankful for any suggestion. [21:51] so you say "open software downloader program and just search for xchat? [21:51] !samba | the_flying_os [21:51] the_flying_os: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [21:51] samba is giving me trouble.... is there a second best? [21:51] the_flying_os: SAMBA, definitely Samba. [21:51] Petertatt, xchat or irc will bring up options for download [21:52] yeah but are all apps in the world accessable with that downloading method? [21:52] the_flying_os: Have you checked to make sure all machines are on the same workgroup? [21:52] learning to use samba is handy [21:52] the_flying_os : nas or ssh works, too [21:52] Petertatt, xchat is there, clear to see. [21:52] the_flying_os, samba is the windows file sharing program. [21:52] if you just want to get some files back/forth to a windows box quickly you could use winscp and ssh also [21:52] Petertatt: no, but there are tens of thousands, just a click away [21:52] the_flying_os, I suppose ftp would also work. [21:52] my windows on the workgroup MSHOME and my ubuntu computer is on 'workgroup' i thtink [21:53] Petertatt: if you need something specific that's not in there, sometimes you have to download from "the open web" [21:53] Well I managed to boot into ubuntu, can I fix it while booted on ubuntu? [21:53] edbian: That's not 100% accurate. windows uses CIFS, which is essentially interoperable with the SMB protocol. [21:53] use ftp with filezilla [21:53] the_flying_os: That's your problem right there. [21:53] the_flying_os: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to set your workgroups to be the same. [21:53] the_flying_os, they have to be on the same workgroup [21:53] nicofs: hi I was saying earlier i set ip4 to dns 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2 [21:53] Hello everybody! I have a question: where do I can change font of terminal (not in the X)? I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and the default font is a little bit thin. [21:53] the_flying_os: winblows 7 starter sucks because it won't do file share, you have to PAY for the upgrade first. [21:53] the_flying_os: If they're not the same workgroup, you can't get them to view each other. [21:53] so many different folders and sections to look thru. how could i have found anything. i'll be back after download xchat that way. sorry if i'm being a pain. i mean well. i promise [21:53] alright [21:53] i'll do that [21:53] Guest40653: I don't know your exact prob, sudo update-grub sometimes fixes things [21:53] the_flying_os you also have to set a password for your samba user before you can see anything, i think [21:53] Petertatt, for some things there will be the need to add a ppa to the repository list, but once thats done its just the same method of installing.. [21:53] bars0, edit -> current profile [21:54] Guest40653: Yes, if you need to re-install grub then you can just run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" (if sda is the drive you want grub installed to) [21:54] spiky: i tried manual DNS. it didn't work... [21:54] bars0: right click inside the terminal window, then go to Profiles -> Profile preferences [21:54] Iconrad01_:/ like this [21:54] bars0: System --> Preferences --> Appearances, for default fonts. If you're just after the profile of the terminal window itself, sharplinux or edbian's suggestions will work. [21:54] dp_: Like what? [21:54] spiky: either because my provider's information on their website is outdated or because that's not the problem... [21:54] edbian, I am not working under the X [21:55] bars0, Oh! Then I don't know if you can... [21:55] hello utube [21:55] nicofs: ok still thinking sorry [21:55] bars0, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122936 [21:55] that's ok dear [21:55] is there a way to turn off auto scroll on empathy? [21:55] no [21:55] spiky don't apologise for trying to help... i am very thankful... [21:55] bars0: you can, but it's not as straightforward... maybe search the web for "console fonts" [21:56] IConrad01: Ok, rhythmbox scanned the whole device mounted to /media/ and imported the songs into the main music collection. But that's not what I expected (and wanted). When I want to sync it I need it to appear separately. [21:56] what is a rhythmbox [21:56] vlt: I don't know how to make Rhythmbox do that. [21:56] nicofs: i take it all dial nmbers/ passwords all ok [21:56] sharplinux, thanks, I'll try with your suggestion [21:56] grandma: Not something I want to hear as a question coming from my grandmother. <_< [21:56] !info rhythmbox | grandma [21:57] grandma: rhythmbox (source: rhythmbox): music player and organizer for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 0.12.8-0ubuntu7 (lucid), package size 1197 kB, installed size 14904 kB [21:57] bars0: I've done it before, but it's been a while - hope you can get 'er done ;-) [21:57] yeah that makes sense [21:57] grandma: Otherwise -- Rhythmbox is a music player kinda like iTunes but without all the Apple-Is-Right crap. [21:57] grandma: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [21:57] anybody with knowledge in ubuntu pls help me in fixing my sound problem [21:57] guys i am having problem with my sound and i am fighting to fix it for the past 2-3 hours any help would be appreciated [21:58] yes [21:58] my video has been deleted from utube [21:58] manoj: What is the nature of the problem? [21:58] i would like it back [21:58] grandma: sudo apt-get install windowsvista [21:58] grandma: that has nothing to do with ubuntu support, please take random chatter elsewhere [21:59] sorry i don't know any martial arts [21:59] !ot | grandma [21:59] grandma: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:59] spiky: hard to say... my provider doesn't require and thus does not give any name or password - but i could try various combinations there. as for the number, i tried *99# and *99*111# which are the standard ones i guess (and which worked before). otherwise when trying wvdial i end up (sometimes) with "invalid number"... it's completely weird... [21:59] fridgerator: Ouhc. [21:59] Ouch, rather. [21:59] strange [21:59] perhaps grandma thinks that ubuntu = utube [21:59] oh so those offtopic guys can help me with my video problem? [21:59] i dont get any sound from my integrated speakers and the volume out of the headphones is very very low [22:00] so i had gma500 drivers from main repo installed, which worked okay, however they were 2d only so i added the beta repo and installed the packages from there, which worked okay also, however i still seem to be on the 2d drivers [22:00] i believe grandma is just being facetious [22:00] nicofs: was going to suggest wvdial dam [22:00] hardly audible [22:00] although the config file looks okay and there are no errors [22:00] manoj: Have you looked at System --> Preferences --> Sound ? [22:00] yep [22:01] manoj: And you're using the correct audio output device? [22:01] a fellow member helped me for sometime but he was unable to solve the issue === mary_ is now known as Glp [22:01] spiky: sorry... i also tried sakis 3G... but that requires a PIN - which i deactivated... [22:01] i'm not being facetious! [22:01] grandma: please state your problem clearly and in one line === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [22:01] manoj: Have you tried playing with pulse audio manager? [22:02] i am a newbie mate so not much of knowledge [22:02] if u have any suggestions i will try it out [22:02] Im having issues with my webcam. im not able to video conference any of my friends....is this a common issue? [22:03] manoj, Do you have a pcm slider on the volume app? [22:03] manoj: sudo apt-get install paman [22:03] Is i386 64bit? [22:03] Guest40653: No. [22:03] dear utube support, i can't de-upload my video from utube. also when i move the mouse nothing happens. how do i fix this? [22:03] yes i have the slider in the panel with volume level to max [22:03] nicofs: have you tried it with live cd? [22:04] Oh alright I always get it mixed up [22:04] manoj: Play around with that. [22:04] manoj, right click the little speak. Select open volume control [22:04] Does anybody know if a Lenovo thinkpad t410 or a Lenovo thinkpad L512 will be compatible with the latest ubuntu? [22:04] grandma: this chat channel is not related to youtube, it is for ubuntu, a linux-based operating system [22:04] grandma: de-upload¿¿ re-upload¿¿ [22:04] k i edited the smb.conf to the same workgroup as my Windows7Starter computer and now i'm supposed to restart right? [22:04] speaker* [22:04] grandma: We are not utube support. [22:04] yes i have ubuntu [22:04] grandma: This is the ubuntu channel. [22:05] exactly! [22:05] Ubuntu != Youtube [22:05] i know that! i have the ubuntus on my computer! [22:05] grandma: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/ [22:05] ebian i dont have the option "Open Volume Control" [22:05] but i can't move the mouse to de-upload my video from youtube! [22:05] grandma: You are asking for youtube support from Ubuntu simply because you are running Ubuntu. [22:05] spiky: is there any way (e.g. in a console) to monitor what the connection manager is doing when and after i click connect? -- no cd drive. could boot via usb... but i had this problem in installations of xubuntu and ubuntu... i don't see how a live version could help; and atm i can't get one... [22:05] manoj, What options do you have?? [22:05] grandma: if you can't RE-upload i believe youtube uses java por uploading videos so either install Sun Java plugin or Open JDK plugin if you preffer (it's open source) [22:06] grandma: Have you tried rebooting? [22:06] Sound preference and mute all [22:06] manoj, sound preferences [22:06] no you should never need to reboot a linux system [22:06] my grandson told me [22:06] grandma: Yes, but that's only because if you know what the problem is you can reinitialize the service. [22:06] grandma: for a kernel update you do need to reboot. those security updates require it [22:07] done [22:07] ah ok [22:07] grandma: For someone in your position, it's possible a reboot can correct the issue. [22:07] !ops | grandma [22:07] i'll ask fred to reinitialize the service then [22:07] grandma: Help! Channel emergency!

[22:07] grandma: you should ask face to face help to your grandson also [22:07] Does anybody know if a Lenovo thinkpad t410 or a Lenovo thinkpad L512 will be compatible with the latest ubuntu? [22:07] Jordan_U: i'm right here, and i don't see anything wrong [22:07] thanks for the tip maco, i'm going over there right now [22:07] bye! [22:07] alll my volume level is set to max for each and every options in this window [22:07] BigC: Any reason they wouldn't be? [22:08] manoj: Did you try paman? [22:08] manoj, edit preferences. === administrator is now known as Guest17148 [22:08] hello [22:08] maco: I believed that grandma was a troll, I don't anymore but I'm connected via ssh and there was a lag. Sorry. [22:08] Hi guys. Anyone know if Remastersys works on ubuntu 10.04? [22:08] manoj, Name all of the sliders you have now. Then go to edit preferences and add any you might need. additionally add the slider called pcm [22:08] I've an old Dell desktop with 9.10 and it's not getting sound. I was getting a "dummy sound output" error, but 'sudo lshw -C sound' shows that I have an intel sound card with an intel driver. [22:08] this is a very hard to find chat room [22:08] Well IConrad01 the intel cpu has the gpu on it, and I was wondering if the maybe ubuntu's kernel would support it, the gpu being integrated on the cpu. [22:08] i was just in here under a similar name [22:09] welcome back petertat [22:09] bad news [22:09] Jordan_U: i still do, fwiw ;) [22:09] Does anyone know of anything that I can use to automatically pin windows next to eachother, etc? [22:09] i'm back in windows [22:09] jum :S [22:09] Does anyone know why the sound wouldn't be working? [22:09] BigC: Ahh. I can't see how that would make much difference, honestly. [22:09] Does the driver need to be alsa? [22:09] i went into the ubuntu software center and easily found xchat by searching [22:09] just one single slider called output volume [22:10] no help with that iconrad [22:10] howdo we send direct or pvt msg to the user ? [22:10] <_jesse_> dp_: /msg username [22:10] when i went to click install, i got this message... (please wait i'm typing it) [22:10] <_jesse_> keep all support questions in channel though dp_ [22:10] IConrad01: well I just wanted to make sure before I bought the computer because I need the graphics support, E.g. flash videos on youtube [22:11] BigC: The GPU and CPU may be integrated onto the same chip, but their specs aren't that different from other set-ups. [22:11] so Germany is third on the worldcup [22:11] Does anyone know how to fix the "dummy sound output" problem in 9.10? 'sudo lshw -C sound' shows that I have an intel sound card with an intel driver, should it be alsa? [22:11] BigC: Looking at this page ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455771 ) I don't think you have anything to worry about. [22:11] Package dependencies cannot be resolved. This error could be caused by required additional software packages wich are missing or not installable. Futhermore tere could be a conflict between software packages wich are not allowed to be installed at the same time. + Details : xchat [22:12] LorgonJortle: What device is your audio channeling to in your sound preferences? It might have "dropped" the correct profile. [22:12] Does anyone know how I can tile windows in Ubuntu? ie: Windows that resize themselves to make them both visible [22:12] i have downloaded some games within software center before. About half downloaded with no prob. and the other half gave me (i think) this message. [22:12] petertat: Try using synaptic. [22:13] technikfreak: please keep to the topic of this channel: support for ubuntu [22:13] i get problems like this when i try to download from the terminal. it just tends not to work. [22:13] petertat: is goins to be hard trying to help you if you are not in ubuntu [22:13] Guest17148: There's an option to do that w/ Compiz. Beyond that, I don't know. [22:13] is it really so hard to create an irc acount in empathy¿¿ [22:14] xangua: Wouldn't know. It's easy in Pidgin. :) [22:14] petertat: have you tried to conect here using empathy¿¿ it comes by default in ubuntu [22:14] Thanks IConrad01 ! I will check it out [22:14] IConrad01: aw thanks, I was searching the ubuntuforums, but I couldnt find anything. But I read some where that the Intel wireless drivers are supported OOTB. Is that true? [22:14] well i need help getting to chat. honestly this was the third online chat site in windows i tried that actually brought me back here. what am i doing wroing. maybe a basic misunderstaiding of irc or command line [22:14] BigC: Intel wireless is, yes. [22:15] i've messed with empathy [22:15] IConrad01: Lookin' at the profile... thanks for the tip/ [22:15] hey guys where do I found orca? [22:15] IConrad01: ok thanks, I think I will order one with intel wireless driver then. [22:15] LorgonJortle: I've had that happen to me. [22:15] I see it's installed but can't seem to find at applications [22:15] in empathy it seems like i'm connected to freenode under #ubuntu but i don't see any one or anywhere to type to chat. i've tried all pull down menu options [22:16] petertat: irc is based on 'servers' and 'networks' if you reconnect to the 'freenode' network. the #ubuntu channel will be this one [22:16] BigC: Atheros, Realtek, Intel ... all three work fine, for the vast majority of people. [22:16] * humanfly *heart* ubuntu [22:16] petertat: If you install xchat via Applications > Ubuntu Software Center then start it from Applications > Internet > Xchat IRC Chat it should take you to this channel automatically. [22:16] petertat: i would use an actual irc client for irc needs. not an IM client like empathy [22:17] IConrad01: - even Ralink (sweex and stuff) works fine with the opensource driver RTxx [22:17] Dr_Willis: Jordan_U he can't install anything thru repositories :S [22:17] does anyone know what magic gdm pulls off that lxdm doesnt? : banshee recognize my ipod fine when i use gdm as display manager, but doesnt when using lxdm except if i disable automount in nautilus. there must be soem daemon that needs to be started, but i have no idea which... [22:18] jordan_u no.. i tried to download it that way and other ways and it won't do it it gives me errors [22:18] JesusMcCloud-lt: - avaihi [22:18] Ichat, thanx, will test right away (means i'll brb) [22:18] i went to network>mshome> and i get "unable to mount location: failed to retrieve shared list" [22:18] i really want to get back into ubuntu and get into this chat room but i feel that i'll just end up back here [22:19] in widows [22:19] windows [22:19] JesusMcCloud-lt, Love your nick ;) [22:19] IConrad01: The profile is set to analog stereo input. I tried changing it to analog stereo duplex, but it didn't work. [22:19] JesusMcCloud-lt: - and avahi isn't part of GDM ( but i think lubuntu got rid of it for speed. [22:19] petertat: did you try to use the freenode webchat until you get a working client? [22:19] Lord_Devi, thx [22:19] Hello world! Inherited an old Intel-based machine with an AC'97 sound device on it. The module the on-board sound card uses is snd-intel8x0 which doesn't initially work but when appended with the parameters ac97_quirk=1 and xbox=1 it works fine. Question I'm facing is how to get this module to load with those parameters at boot. Thoughts? [22:19] guntbert i don't understand a word you said === dm_ is now known as Delvien [22:19] I have tried sticking the following line in /etc/modules to no avail: snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=1 xbox=1 [22:20] Anyone have an issue with your volume buttons controling "front speaker" not PCM ? [22:20] <_jesse_> petertat: webchat.freenode.net I believe [22:20] does something special need to be done in pidgen to get video converences working? [22:20] Hello... [22:20] that won't work [22:20] <_jesse_> petertat: in a browser? [22:20] <_jesse_> why not? [22:20] Is there any way to open nautilus from CLI to a specific directory? [22:20] i edited the smb.conf file to make my win7starter pc and my ubuntu pc in the same workgroup 'MSHOME'. now i go to network>MSHOME and i get "failed to mount location: could not retrieve share list" [22:20] i tried that under firefox in ubuntu and it didn't work [22:20] <_jesse_> petertat: don't see why not [22:20] <_jesse_> works fine for me [22:21] Hi, Anyone know a downloaderl ike Downloader helper but for linux chrome? [22:21] Jon--, nautilus /path/to/file [22:21] petertat: did you try chatzilla? you don't have to install that through Ubuntu, you just add it to Firefox [22:21] this is the third option for chat i've been in in windows so far (web browser irc) to get back to this room right now i'm @http://irc2go.com/webchat/?net=freenode&room=ubuntu&nick=petertat&name=irc2go+webchat [22:21] chatzilla = a firefox extension that is an irc client [22:22] chatzilla 's verry usefull (i use it ) [22:22] edbian: Wow that didn't work for me first time thanks... [22:22] Jon--, No worries [22:22] Must have botched the path [22:22] Jon--, I guess [22:22] how do i do the chatzilla thing? keep in mind that so far nothing simple has worked. i'm an experienced computer user new to ubuntu. somting is wrong and downloads don't want to work for me in ubuntu [22:23] petertat: its a firefox extension.. load firefox.. go to the FF extnsion site. install it [22:23] petertat: - go to addons.mozilla.org [22:23] hello, can i install xp on a external hdd on my ubuntu machine? i've been reading some things about grub getting corrupted and also since i need xp to be external, i'm not sure if it will turn ok [22:23] i'd like to chat in ubuntu about all of this but can't pull it off. dug thru the internet for hours to no avail. i understand irc freenode #ubuntu. what's wrong? [22:23] petertat: you open firefox, go to tools> addon> get and enter chatzilla, install it and restart firefox [22:23] mehhhh: xp wont work from a external USb hard drive [22:23] mehhhh: - you shouldn't [22:23] why [22:23] :( [22:24] petertat: are you using Firefox in Windows right now?

[22:24] i'm in ie in vista right now (internet explorer [22:25] * Dr_Willis hands petertat a pad of paper and a pen. [22:25] Dr_Willis, I don't see the reason why it shouldn't work if i'm setting the usb hdd as first boot device [22:25] petertat: do you have Firefox on Windows? [22:25] hi all [22:25] it says (this is not #ubuntu blah blah blah..) it's hard to remember. [22:25] mehhhh: - the best way to get windows xp in your ubuntu machine would be if your system either supporte amd-V or intel-VT [22:25] mehhhh: its XP. go ask in windoss if xp even CAN boot from a usb hard drive.. go ahead and try it if you want. [22:25] i'm not there right now [22:25] no firefox [22:25] petertat: why use Chatzilla? use XChat, and most of the settings are pre-configured. [22:26] Problem: I cannot stream anything with Real Player [22:26] petertat: its going to #ubuntu-unregistered Im guessing ? [22:26] mneptok: he can't install xchat [22:26] petertat: protip - after installing chatzilla addon right click by the menu (file/edit/view etc), go to customize, look for the little ChatZilla icon and drop it somewhere. This will give you a little button to click to access chatzilla. To install chatzilla see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/ inside Firefox. [22:26] mneptok: dependency problems [22:26] x chat won't download thru software center [22:26] hi wil i ask about netbook remix 1o.o4; is it possible? [22:26] petertat: sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome [22:26] cemunal: ask away. [22:26] petertat: Ahh, I understand what's happening now.

[22:26] petertat: for the webchat: that message is ok, you just type /join #ubuntu and reach this channel [22:26] I used to like chatzilla in firefox.. when I liked everything in FF, irc, ftp, browser, email [22:26] cemunal, ues, iv used it before myself [22:26] guntbert: thats what i was getting at. :) [22:26] mnemon, xchat-gnome isnt xchat [22:26] I like cz because it's cross-platform [22:27] and I'm used to it and I usually run ff [22:27] hypn0: it's close enough. and probably a better choice for new users. [22:27] Dr_Willis: sorry, I didn't see your comment ... [22:27] on a ubuntu server, is it possible to clear or empty the ram without re booting? [22:27] hi to all any one know how install and play games on playonlinux [22:27] i've been having the same problems downloading from the terminal as from other methods. many downloads won't work while others do [22:27] petertat: write down Jon-- 's instructions and reboot into Ubuntu, open Firefox and give Chatzilla a shot [22:27] my hp mini netbook does not boot all 10.04 series ubuntus' [22:27] ok [22:27] dxd: let the system handle RAM usage. there's no need for user intervention. [22:28] petertat: Try http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu from within windows now, you will at first be redirected to #ubuntu-proxy-users, after a while you should get a message from floodbot that you can join #ubuntu [22:28] hello all ! Can someone explain me how can i come to this : http://www.imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=2024 ? [22:28] I'm trying to make a share residing on my Ubuntu box to be available from my Windows XP SP3-box. I have installed SAMBA on the Ubuntu box, defined the share using the workgroup name "HJEMME" (norwegian for HOME), but it is not visible from XP (Network Places). What do I do wrong ? [22:28] * duffydack chuckles at remembering apps in windows like ram defragmenters and ram free`ers [22:28] ok thanks [22:28] cemunal, what ones does it not boot [22:28] I was gonna help out here but... I'm gonna go play sc2 instead. [22:28] ANO55: terminal -> sudo jockey-gtk [22:28] petertat: Once you get that message from floodbot type "/join #ubuntu" and you will actually join this channel. [22:28] bebo__: play on linux is just wine optimized for games i believe, am i wrong¿¿ [22:28] ANO55: Systeme > Administration [22:29] jordan U that stuff sounds really farmiliar [22:29] dxd, The linux kernel works under the assumption that unused mem is wasted mem. It dynamicly caches [22:29] disks in the mem so that things run faster and it allows mem to any app that needs it on demand. If you want to see how much you have free the run the command 'free' and subtract the amount used for caches to see usage. [22:29] guntbert: I gotta run anyway :) guess reading the message/topic in ubuntu-unregiustered is to confusing heh. [22:29] ANO55, Looks like you have no proprietary drivers installed [22:29] problem with my sound it is breaking my head for the past 3 hours pls help me to resolve this isssue with my laptop [22:29] who here likes mint linux? [22:29] with the flood bot and stuff [22:29] dxd, I like it but I don't use it. [22:29] dxd: not many of us. they have their own support channel also. [22:29] dxd: it's a good distro [22:29] Hi, Anyone know a downloader like Downloader helper but for linux chrome? === avidya is now known as wai [22:29] Dr_Willis: took me a minute to understand too :-) [22:29] dxd, I DO! [22:29] can somebody help me get my 3G connection going? no matter what i try, network manager aborts the dial-up attempt after a millisecond. [22:29] does everyone go thru that floodbot command line step to get to this chat room? [22:29] I see no point in Linux Mint as I can install everything it has myself, less the huge start menu [22:29] guntbert: yes. Its so easy to be Unclear in irc. :) [22:29] Mint discussions are offtopic for this channel [22:30] madrid: chromium has a donwload manager integrated, so does firefox and opera browser [22:30] yay, i use it as a terminal for my unbuntu servers [22:30] rCX, i always thought that it showed driver installed and the ones that i CAN install ? [22:30] duffydack: you can get that start menu from some PPA's now. [22:30] petertat: only those connecting through the freenode webchat [22:30] Dr_Willis, I dont want it, its huge [22:30] lol [22:30] madrid: if you are looking to have faster downlaod get better internet service [22:30] ok but i see some video on youtube but they last thing they do download direct x [22:30] dxd, a real man uses a cli server OS [22:30] that's the only one i've heard of so far [22:30] n0a1ias_: after bios screen only i see a black screen. [22:30] for #ubuntu that is [22:30] xangua what is the name? [22:30] and i do but need for speed undercover not worked [22:30] petertat: that "proxy" channel is only for webchat users, once you have a real client you join directly [22:31] n0a1ias_: an hd's lights dsnt alet. [22:31] i do, i use no gui on my servers but as a remote terminal i use a gui [22:31] why would everyone just assume that everyone already knows the command line step? that seems like maybe the first thing youd tell someone [22:31] petertat: Try joining via http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu within windows now, then you'll know exactly what to do when you reboot into Ubuntu. [22:31] n0a1ias_: and hd's lights dsnt alet. [22:31] cemunal, try goig into your bios, maby youv selected to boot from a nonexistant hd [22:32] ANO55, You're right, forget what I said. [22:32] xangua i oly want a downloader like download helper, not for rapid shared, or megaload.. [22:32] petertat: if you want help you should not argue but try to follow the given advice [22:32] xangua, It grabs you tube videos [22:32] does any one know if Backtrack have a IRC? [22:33] n0a1ias_: sorry i can't boot after install and i creat my usb with tool wich in ubuntu cds' [22:33] !backtrack [22:33] hello [22:33] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [22:33] petertattoo: you made it [22:33] dxd, It does [22:33] madrid: you can just copy videos once they are full downloaded from /tmp/ [22:33] edbian, do you know what the url is?

[22:37] xangua: not sure , how do I check [22:37] i think it supported couz in playonlinux list [22:38] It doesnt load the kernel [22:38] and im stuck on the same screen with the same message [22:38] DesiArnez61: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:38] if you use xubuntu or kubuntu replace them for ubuntu in the command [22:38] well im trying empathy and video conferencing doesnt work with that either [22:39] bebo__: well then contact with playonlinux comunity [22:39] Ichat, avahi was not the problem [22:39] does anyone know how to install aircrack-ng with a gui [22:39] i did and no one replay to me [22:39] until now [22:40] banshee still doesnt recognize my ipod when using lxdm as display manager [22:40] ok let this proplem [22:40] is there an aircrack-ng install with a gui? [22:40] i neet to install tor [22:40] xangua: It says I already have the newest version installed [22:40] n0a1ias_: sorry i can't boot after install and i creat my usb with tool wich in ubuntu cds' [22:40] but say root@bebo-laptop:~# sudo apt-get install tor Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package tor is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package tor has no installation candidate [22:41] can somebody recommend a video surveillance software? it should support ip-cams [22:41] n0a1ias_, you can try pyCracker, also use aircrack-ptw instead of aircrack-ng [22:41] thanks jesus [22:42] is there a script in ubuntu that shows in a "cool" way the cpu usage and netwokr abndwith [22:42] DesiArnez61: mmm try then with VLC player, does anyone know if vlc plays 'real player' files ¿¿ [22:42] technikfreak: you probably want conky (and with that I am off) [22:42] xangua, no [22:42] thx jrib [22:42] booted up in ubuntu on http://webchat.freenode.net/ i'm surprised anyone makes it this far. [22:43] bebo__: check the ubuntu tor wiki pages. it is not in the package manager any more - at least not last i checked [22:43] sounds stupid i know but.. [22:43] <_jesse_> petertat: I'm surprised it was this difficult for you to make it this far :-/ perhaps you should put together a tutorial if you don't feel one exists [22:43] nobody knows "/join #ubuntu" unless their told. and you pretty much have to know that to make it here. [22:44] hmm ok [22:44] syntax is important [22:45] maybe, i'm driven to keep going because of my hatred for windows :) [22:45] petertat, you have to be told where the power button is mostly. [22:45] is it possible to cluster together multiple ubuntu servers for apache? [22:45] Dr_Willis, you meant that xp doesn't let you install it on a usb. But what if i remove the external from it;s case, then mount it replacing my ubuntu hdd, install it and then put it back. Will ubuntu interface with my windows main boot from usb? And whenever i want to go back to ubuntu, i'll change the bios settings. Sound correct, right? [22:46] no way [22:46] When I was using Debian, lm-sensors would display all of my fan speeds, and pwmconfig would let me configure my fans to run cooler/quieter if I wanted. But under Debian for some reason I cannot do that. Any idea why? [22:46] Irc is ancient. it's the oldest of the community chat methods. I'm surprised more people don't make it here myself. I mean.. where else do you go for real time discussion? No where! [22:46] Er under Ubuntu, I switchd from Debian to Ubuntu. [22:46] petertat, ubuntuforums.org is your best place. [22:46] Supertanker, why would you do such a thing? [22:47] is it possible to cluster together multiple ubuntu servers for apache? [22:47] that's where i've been spending my tim [22:47] time [22:47] mehhhh, I beg your pardon? [22:47] Hi! Just installed Lucid on a laptop with "alternate" iso cuz "desktop" iso displayed a fuzzy screen. After the final reboot I'm stuck with this fuzzy screen again. Anyone knows the syntax to force the installation of the proprietary drivers via consolle? [22:47] petertat: but you had an ubuntu support question I believe ... [22:47] I needed ne=wer apps for my audio and video development. [22:47] Believe me, I was happy with Debian, mehhhh [22:47] oh heh [22:48] ups... nvidia v.180 [22:48] nicofs: man this is hard [22:48] still [22:48] yes [22:48] xangua: VLC wont play it either [22:48] I have installed today's updates and rebooted. Now my mouse pointer and icons are fuzzy. What can I do? Kubuntu 10.04, ati radeon with free driver. Rebooting the previous kernel did not solve it. Choosing another mouse pointer did not help. [22:49] At some point, my software RAID decided to not work when i did --assemble --scan so i foolishly did another --create ... not a very good idea, now it tells me it has the wrong fs type when it's assembled. it looks like all my data is still there though... is there a way to 'reassemble' it 'correctly?' [22:49] i've finally booted into ubuntu with chatting ability... now i have serious ubuntu downloading problems [22:49] downloading thru the ubuntu software center works about half the time. other methods of downloading haven't given me much more help. including typing downloads into the terminal. which run and fail. [22:49] i'm in ubuntu now so i can answer questions more accurately about this situation [22:49] have a look at this new blog www.tagblog.co.uk sorry if you're not allowed to plug [22:49] petertat which software would you like to install? [22:50] * duffydack smells a troll [22:50] i really appreciate everyones help. i'm just trying to be an insight into the new user to help you in future. i didn't mean to be rude [22:50] I was playing with the setting in compiz and now my sound it not working [22:50] in this example: xchat [22:51] petertat: start with a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and see if those succede [22:51] petertat: if theres anyh error messages. paste them to a pastebin site.

[22:51] this is what started my search for answers dr willis [22:51] downloading with sudo apt-get update went to 98% then went into what seemed to be an eternal loop [22:52] petertat, you should ensure you do not have network issues then. [22:52] petertat: ang what erro message do you get¿¿ [22:52] I have never had "downloads failing" nor heard of anyone who had this problem, that's rather unusual. Are you on wireless LAN and this could cause it? [22:52] there are errors i'd like to show but explain "!pastebin" [22:52] anyone got any links for setting up a IRC channel server on Ubuntu server? is there a apt-get?

[22:56] did you get the error message [22:56] is there a better version of TOP? that can be used just to view CPU activity and usage [22:57] Keeps hanging at 71% (configuring apt sources) [22:57] !pastebin [22:57] 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.

[23:01] wow, htop is epic [23:01] dxd: i know [23:01] n8 [23:01] Package dependencies cannot be resolved. This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

[23:04] hello [23:04] hello [23:04] what's the deb [23:04] so, I installed ubuntu (I've tried other distros too, but now it's real bad), somehow, my laptops input units ( mouse, keyboard and even power button etc.) stops working in ubunt, and not only that, after installing ubuntu, I can't turn on the computer if the AC is not plugged in, the power button does nothing (I wonder why? can grub cause that ?) [23:05] petertattoo, nevermind. just copy paste sudo apt-get update > somefile [23:05] So, I'm wondering, how do I remove grub, and get win bootloader back? do I just install win bootloader from win7 CD again? :P [23:05] or do I need to do something else [23:05] !deb [23:05] 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. [23:05] then open "somefile" in a program and copy paste the whole thing into pastebin.org [23:05] <_jesse_> Mattias: sounds like your batter might be dead if you can't use it without being plugged in [23:05] i ran sudo apt-get install -f what does that do? [23:05] <_jesse_> *battery [23:05] Is it possible to give a drive a lowercase label? palimpsest automatically makes any name I enter all-caps, but I know that I can set a lowercase name in Windows... [23:05] * duffydack gives up, and smells a troll. [23:05] i use aptitude over apt-get [23:05] _jesse_, no, I fully load it, it's by far not dead, and I got this issue directly after installing ubuntu [23:05] petertattoo: it fixes broken packages [23:06] daffy duck i don't understand [23:06] do i replace somefile or what [23:06] _jesse_, arch didn't have these problems, but it had other problems :) I guess this laptop only can run windows :/ [23:06] petertattoo, how you even installed ubuntu is beyond me. [23:06] what's with linux world's half answers based off of assuming people already know all of this technical jargon [23:07] thanks [23:07] petertattoo: you're being asked to copy and paste the output of commands to a website. [23:07] Mattias: whats the problem? [23:07] <_jesse_> Mattias: hmm :-/ does it it physically turn on without the AC? as in does the BIOS load? [23:07] how do i change the way the login screen looks in 10.04? [23:07] Cube``:If it's anything like 9.10, you can't really [23:07] petertattoo, I`m discontinuing this my end on the belief you are a troll, sorry but no one is this hard to help... [23:07] the '-f' most certainly DOES NOT fix broken packages. [23:07] _jesse_, the power button even stopped working while inside ubuntu! I mean, as well as the mouse and keyboard. so I couldn't even long press the powerbutton to shut it down. I had to pull out the battery! [23:08] i'm having a problem that seems to not be within your spectrum of using ubuntu. so stuff isn't downloading and you call me stupid [23:08] Cube``: that is, GDM has been rewritten and I don't know how much customization there is beyond changing the theme; iirc you can do that by adding the appearance preferences shortcut to some folder so that it starts along with the login screen [23:08] how can you automatically run a command (htop) when i connect to my servers CLI over SSH? [23:08] _jesse_, power button just do nothing, no response, unless the AC is plugged in, just wondering if Grub can do that [23:08] petertattoo: it's easy to get frustrated, but there are some "basics" that most people in this channel expect that you already know [23:08] i've been searching for this chat room and i'm just getting dogged on [23:08] i' [23:08] petertattoo, i`m calling you a troll. [23:08] aeon-ltd, well, seems my hardware is imcompatible, so I just wanna uninstall grub and get windows bootloader back [23:08] i'm a mac user excited about linux [23:08] Mattias: what laptop is this? [23:08] petertattoo: the lack of you providing answers is the issue. [23:09] velociostrich: ahh well, so its totally different [23:09] how can you automatically run a command (htop) when i connect to my servers CLI over SSH? [23:09] petertattoo: don't let this negativity dissuade you [23:09] im not here, everyone else take over === anode is now known as atude [23:09] <_jesse_> Mattias: no, if the bios doesn't load, then it is outside of the OS or any bootloader [23:09] Cube``: yeah, but like I said you can change the theme and the background at least [23:09] aeon-ltd, Toshiba Qosmio G40, I know it "works", but the rare issue are serious enough [23:09] duffydack: just walk away man - just walk away [23:09] petertattoo: yeah it happens everyday to about 5-10 people a hour [23:09] hello [23:09] i didn't have to type in "querry+%$# sudo command run 767-ebx" to install linux. maybe you were born with that on your arm. but i think it's ledgit to not know this [23:09] Mattias: what goes wrong? [23:09] nicofs: what dns settings did you put in ip4? [23:10] anyone?? how can you automatically run a command (htop) when i connect to my servers CLI over SSH? [23:10] to ask for help and then complain at every single oportunity about how windows isnt this way... sorry [23:10] start over. sorry [23:10] Cube``: try this: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow [23:10] <_jesse_> petertattoo: you can use the package manager or software thing [23:10] i'm in paste bin in another tab what do i do now [23:10] Cube``: then when you go to the login screen, you can set the appearance, then log in and remove that file from /usr/share/gdm/autostart [23:10] Cube``: sudo rm /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop [23:10] aeon-ltd, laptop does not freeze, but input units stops working randomly, (even power button). and only in ubuntu, not my windows dual boot [23:10] <_jesse_> petertattoo: paste whatever the output of whatever command they had you run and hit save [23:10] <_jesse_> petertattoo: then paste the url in here [23:11] i've install mysql and phpmyadmin, but something went not as usually and there did not appear the configuration tools with root passwords etc. how do i now set the root password for mysql and phpmyadmin so that i could create a database?

[23:12] hello [23:12] <_jesse_> petertattoo: most people know how to copy and paste [23:12] Mattias: have you timed how long it takes till it fails? [23:12] Does anyone know how to set drive labels _without_ palimpsest? [23:12] petertattoo: have you opened Applications -> Terminal ? [23:13] anyone?? how can you automatically run a command (htop) when i connect to my servers CLI over SSH? [23:13] wow I love ubuntu on my new Thinkpad :) [23:13] dxd: whats so hard about typing 4 letters? [23:13] !info byobu | dxd [23:13] aeon-ltd, well, since I installed Ubuntu, the power button does not work if AC is plugged out, the input freeze, happened once, for 2 seconds then returned to normal, and today, it froze 100% waited a long time for it to get back, but had to pull out battery -.- [23:13] dxd: byobu (source: byobu): a set of useful profiles and a profile-switcher for GNU screen.

[23:14] petertattoo: what were you trying to install when you got this error? [23:14] if that doesn't work for some reason it doesn't mean i don't know how to copy paste or someting [23:14] playnicekidz, i was looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/phpmyadmin.html [23:14] <_jesse_> dxd: here http://obsessivecoder.com/2010/05/06/autorun-screen-sessions-on-an-ssh-session/ you can modify that for your purpose [23:14] oskar-: thanks, I just found out that I could use mlabel for msdos filesystems [23:14] thank you.... x chat [23:14] Oer: sorry [23:14] Hello. I created the file .is_audio_player in the root directory of my android phone. Now it is recognised as separate device in rhythmbox but no tracks appear. Then I added the line "audio_folders=MP3/" which didn't help. But the file seems to be parsed by rhythmbox actually because when I added the line "output_formats=application/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/mpeg" these formats were listed in rhythmbox's Properties tab. Any idea how to make rhythmbox analyze the [23:15] i'm not stupid [23:15] and pretty much anything else [23:15] there is a problem [23:15] petertattoo: do you have a terminal window open? [23:15] petertattoo: how fresh is this install? [23:15] playnicekidz, maybe a help for you too. [23:15] Mattias: does windows require proprietry drivres to use? [23:15] 10.0.4 [23:15] aeon-ltd, i have a terminal that auto turns on with power up strait into a shell to monitor a remote server, just would like it to be automatic [23:15] i just got it [23:15] This http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/9051/mauszeigerartefakte.png is BTW what the artefacts look like ... not the mouse pointer itself, but the icons. The mouse pointer looks very similar. [23:15] what should i type into the termanil [23:15] aeon-ltd, the computer comes with win vista ultimate, but now I use win 7 instead with win 7 default drivers === wai is now known as avidya [23:15] petertattoo: "sudo apt-get update" [23:16] dxd: well since it powers on with your ssh why not just cron it? [23:16] that's why i'm here [23:16] !!!! [23:16] Mattias: does tosjhiba require you to use a set of drivers? [23:16] for the tenth time. it only went to 98% and stopped saying stuff wasn't downloading right [23:16] not required, no. maybe just to get the extra buttons to work [23:16] ubuntu 10.04 does not recognize cd drive, anyone help me? [23:16] the "media" buttons [23:16] petertattoo: if apt-get update failed, there would be much more output. [23:16] i'll do it again if you want me to [23:17] but those are not required. no [23:17] i'm doing my best to remember [23:17] i could but i want it to happen when any shell is opend from any remote computer, i'm looking into these documents from the others on here [23:17] Mattias: then its either a udev problem or kernel problem [23:17] aeon-ltd, the reason for trying ubuntu was, another person on the forums posted that they got this laptop to work. [23:17] give me a sec to run it [23:17] aeon-ltd, so, as I like linux, I thought, "let's try!" [23:18] Mattias: you said somethings worked better in arch what were they> [23:19] apt-get update how long should this take?? [23:19] Can anyone tell me why my GDM wont load? http://pastebin.com/TMTgSJh5 [23:19] petertattoo: It might take a while. [23:19] aeon-ltd, the inputs worked in arch, but, I wifi sometimes didn't work, I had to reboot to get it to work if it didn't work at first boot. And sound did not work all the time, had to reboot that too to get it to work, basically, PCM was locked at 100%, full sound ... That's why I removed Arch [23:19] Oer: really helped! thanks! [23:19] And with Ubuntu, it's the input stuff that does not work :( [23:19] aeon-ltd, it's just scary that the powerbutton stops working so you have to pull out the battery [23:19] :D [23:20] So any ideas (other than using a bootable USB) as to how I can install Ubuntu x64 either 9.10 or 10.04 without getting a black screen with a blinking cursor? [23:20] UUB* [23:20] USB [23:20] i just installed 10.04 via bootable usb ;x [23:20] I only have a 1GB USB drive. [23:20] is this the only ubuntu help chat. this room has been insane [23:20] 1 GB is fine [23:20] !troll | petertattoo [23:20] petertattoo: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [23:21] The program I'm using says I need 2GB [23:21] the actual file is like 699mb [23:21] SoulShadow: May I PM you? [23:21] Mattias: on arch it sounds like modules suddenly crashing, the power button thing though, is odd since it doesn't require(but can be) to be programmed in any way [23:21] sure [23:21] hm, what prog are you using? [23:21] I always use 1 GB sticks [23:21] it might be trying to give him a persistence file, monika [23:21] still 1 GB should be enough [23:21] aeon-ltd, that guy with this laptop, explained which module to use that works fully with my laptop, for the sound, I did not know that module when I used arch :) I used another module. [23:22] anyone got any useful / interesting commands to use on ubuntu? [23:22] So it might have been that [23:22] You can make an 'install' usb stick with 1gb.. but a persistant save file.. wont be very big. [23:22] Yeah, persistance was the word. [23:22] Can anyone tell me why my GDM wont load? http://pastebin.com/TMTgSJh5 [23:22] dxd: go check out the 1000's of bash tutoruials [23:22] ubuntu 10.04 does not recognize cd drive, anyone help me?? [23:22] my issue is i can't get toslink output :( [23:22] Guys where can I find out more information about ATI drivers on ubuntu ? because I just installed my HD5870 and it are freezing on compiz efects [23:22] Mattias: if you really like linux your either gonna have to be stuck like me ( i got a mac, sucks for linux) and use VMs(which personally i hate), or wait for every udev/kernel update and try again [23:22] Aldebarann: CD drive works elsewhere? [23:23] Dr_Willis, i have looked at loads, i'm just wondering if anyone on here has any good ones to share with us all [23:23] Priswell>, no [23:23] Esigolo: Closed source drivers I assume? Has it frozen during games on windows? [23:23] Check it on another computer. Maybe the drive died. [23:24] Esigolo, do you have a Mobility HD 5870 or a desktop HD 5870? Because I'm having a similar problem with a mobility HD 5870. [23:24] dugger5688, the comunity version [23:24] aeon-ltd, I got my Android phone and Big comp with linux meanwhile, I'll be fine ;D [23:24] paul_423, Desktop [23:24] paul_423, I think this gonna be a driver issue [23:24] Priswell, write console "eject" and says unable to find or open device for: `cdrom ' [23:24] Now, how to remove grub -.- do I just reinstall win bootloader over it? [23:24] what packages are installed for opengl in ubuntu during installation? [23:25] <_jesse_> Mattias: it'll install over it [23:25] Mattias: yes, please ask in ##windows if you questions about howto [23:25] _jesse_, great, will do that then [23:26] Aldebarann: Sounds like the drive might be dead. [23:26] Is there an app that provides voice chat for LAN? [23:26] Esilogo, yeah, I think so. Isn't the Mobility 5870 just a less powerful version of the desktop 5870 (same driver and such)? [23:26] during "i ran the sudo update thing in the terminal. no i don't remember exactly what i typed. yes it satarted the download. (98% waiting for headers) is what's displayed is this normal [23:27] Esigolo: You might want to try the closed source. I can't help you with that, sorry :-( Only ever used Nvidia. [23:27] //j #ubuntu-classroom [23:27] anyone got any useful / interesting commands to use on ubuntu? [23:27] dxd: ?! [23:27] paul_423, yes it is !! did you tryed the ATI proprietary driver?? [23:27] useful/interesting? [23:28] dxd: like shutdown -h now ? [23:28] waiting: its possible theres some servers thazt are down. You could change teh apt sources.list to try some different ones [23:28] dugger5688, i'm using the comunity made driver not the closed one [23:28] patrick, oh let me try that one now :) [23:28] i was tattoo pete [23:28] <_jesse_> patrick--: forgot sudo :P [23:28] patrick, just anything intresting [23:28] _jesse_: ;) [23:28] this has happened every time [23:28] so i've heard some people having issues after updating kernel? [23:28] <_jesse_> dxd: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/a43ar/what_are_some_cool_looking_things_to_run_in_the/?all=true [23:29] <_jesse_> dxd: just search around [23:29] Yes, I tried the proprietary. It works fine with most things except for the water effect for compiz, along with the fire effect when used for a long amount of time. Those two are consistent, but some others also freeze occasionally but rarely. [23:29] Esigolo: That's why I suggested you try the closed source for desktop effects. [23:29] Priswell, I will reformat the hard disk and I use the cd drive.when installing ubuntu 10.04 is cleared again [23:29] dxd: I dunno, whenever I do a cli command that does what I need it to do, it seems downright miraculous. [23:29] my audio on my macbook just stop working in the last day [23:29] can anyone with working nvidia/koala do "dpkg -l | grep gl " and tell me what they get? Im trying to get rid of conflicting packages [23:29] Mattias: yeah pretty much [23:29] Can anyone tell me why my GDM wont load? http://pastebin.com/TMTgSJh5 [23:29] Priswell, fair enough [23:29] dugger5688, ok i'm going to do this now and I let you guys kow [23:29] Mattias: soz a bit late [23:29] know* [23:30] Aldebarann: What do you mean .when installing ubuntu 10.04 is cleared again? [23:30] how do you change the sources.list i don't know how to do that or what that means [23:30] _jesse_ been there before :( === avidya is now known as wai [23:31] <_jesse_> dxd: well what else do you want :P there's soem good stuff there [23:31] waiting: its a text file - /etc/apt/sources.list - what server does it seem to be hanging on? [23:31] did peter give up... shocker [23:31] waiting: System > Adminstration > Software sources [23:31] urgh, the problem with running webservers is that my main server is at 98% CPU most of the time, so i can't do anything [23:31] waiting: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SourcesList [23:31] waiting: what exactly do you want to do¿¿ [23:31] _jesse_ something magical [23:31] Hi! What do I have to apt-get so that "man select" works? (tia) [23:32] it's hung up on cl.archive.ubuntu.com [23:32] jda2000: maybe build-essential ? [23:32] waiting: Maybe that server is down. It happens on occasion. [23:32] waiting: so you can change every line that has cl.archive.ubuntu.com to be just 'archive.ubuntu.com' and it should use some other servers. [23:32] <_jesse_> dxd: sudo apt-get install magic [23:32] linxeh, Thanks, I'll try that. [23:32] i've actually recently updated my system [23:32] jda2000: assuming you mean the C header etc [23:32] Theres also some tools i recall to scan/auto setup for the fastest servers to you. [23:32] _jesse_: LOL [23:32] i just got told to try it [23:32] _jesse_ hahaha, i will give it a try [23:33] i [23:33] Priswell, cd drive if it works. when installing ubuntu is lost cd drive [23:33] aeon-ltd, grub removed :) btw, do you like tiled WM's? I'd really recommend WMII (which I wanted to use on my laptop) :D [23:33] sudo apt-get install make things work better [23:33] i'm having trouble downloading things from the ubuntu software center [23:33] Does anyone know if 1 GB of VRAM would be good enough to run compiz with Texture Filter set to "Best" without any errors? [23:33] or anything else [23:33] online or thru the terminal [23:34] should an old version of ubuntu be able to read ext4 FSs? [23:34] i've had some successes with downloading but for the most part there's always a problem [23:34] Mattias: one step ahead, using dwm :) [23:34] linxeh, I've got the headers my socket, bind etc compile, and link I just want to be able to look at the man page for select. [23:34] aeon-ltd, awesome! :D [23:34] Aldebarann: Is English your second (third?) language? Can you rephrase that? [23:34] duffydack: no, waiting is the petertattoo guy. he is back and ignore all assist people try to provide [23:34] i'm going to get a HP ProLiant G6 rack server with 144GB RAM [23:35] hey i had a ligit problem here [23:35] waiting: do you get an error mesage¿¿ [23:35] Aldebarann: OK, so your CD drive works in another computer, but not when you use the CD? Is that right? [23:35] in ubuntu software center [23:35] go for it..

You can try putting the cd in the drive and hooking it up to another computer and seeing if that will work.

[23:48] what can i do to enhance its performance? [23:48] can anyone give me advice about mounting a Windows share in Ubuntu...I've edited the /etc/fstab file to include the Windows share, but when I try to use 'sudo mount -a' I get an error: mount(112) Host Is Down [23:48] waiting: what in the name of zeus did you do¿¿ [23:49] hardware upgrade?

[23:50] dugger5688: i tried thre kernels, server, desktop, virtual, none of them seems to work well [23:50] Спасибо за помощь!!! [23:50] i don't really understand the whole repository thing yet. [23:50] cablop: are you running a gui on the server? [23:51] as far as i see the problem is related to the graphics, not the kernel or anything else [23:51] that's obvious, waiting. [23:51] yes, i used to run gnome in 8.04 and the same in 10.04 [23:51] OMG [23:51] in 8.04 it worked nice to start, but 10.04 gui takes ages just to load the menu [23:52] cablop: You forget to run the copiz for better landscape [23:52] waiting: was that tutorial 3 years old¿¿ :S [23:52] can anyone give me advice on mounting a Windows share in Ubuntu 10.04 [23:52] Hi everyone! [23:52] quite possible [23:52] black_ru, to run it? maybe i want to avoid running it [23:52] cause i just run a VM [23:52] cablop: run compiz on your virtual machint. it will be faster [23:53] what should it say when i run lsb release -a? === neerfri_ is now known as neer_fri [23:53] waiting: then un-do everything that tutorial said [23:53] okay doesn't ubuntu 10.04 set ~/bin to your path by default? [23:53] there is an underscore after lsb [23:53] lsb_release -a [23:53] well... I have to change the laptop name, domain: "username@CHANGETHENAME:~$" someone knows how to do this? [23:53] it did in my VM, but not now [23:53] not lsb release -a [23:53] well i don't remember what i did [23:54] Please, somebody help me be able to boot from my USB drive. [23:54] it should output four lines, the second like Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [23:54] When syslinux runs it says my USB drive won't be bootable, but it continues to copy the ISO to the drive. [23:54] black_ru sure? i think compiz uses more resources than normal gui [23:55] When I try to boot, it doesn't work. [23:55] nibblyn:You can edit the hostname in the file: /etc/hostname [23:55] should i just reinstall the system? i dont' really have any important documents on here. i'm mostly trying/learning ubuntu. i have it set up as a dual-boot/ ubuntu and vista. [23:55] cablop: what does this server do, and why does it have gnome on it? [23:55] LorgonJortle: have you tried unetbootin¿ [23:55] i just need it to keep a svn until i bought a machine for it [23:55] waiting: just remove all those repositories you added [23:55] I'll say no, as I'm unsure. [23:55] testing also of some php things... [23:56] in a few words, apache, tomcat for testing purposes and svn for backup [23:56] EgyParadox, searching for that, many thanks :) [23:56] is this a command line thing or a GUI thing [23:56] just gnome to ease some tasks when in need, i disabled gdm so it just starts in shell mode until i need a gui [23:56] im trying to understand the swap usage better, can someone explain why i have 3.4% of swap space used when thers only 11.4% actual memory used, i thought swap was only used when im getting close to running out of mem and it moves stuff that isnt needed much, it seems everytime it does this my sys gets all choppy [23:57] nope [23:57] waiting: system>administration>software sources then remove them in the 'other software' tab [23:57] !swap [23:57] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:57] if i remember correctly it had me replace the default ones with the new ones in sources.list [23:57] oh i have 3gb of mem and swap is set to 5.7gb [23:57] swap is usually used to enhance ram performance [23:57] waiting: replace!! :S [23:57] guess you don't need a cluttered ram if you can hold some things back in disk [23:58] i was following the walkthru [23:58] it was about hacking wep ids [23:58] Zelozelos: read what i told about swap [23:58] Zelozelos, unless you set swappiness to 10 it will only be used when needed. [23:58] but w only 11.4% of 3gigs used, it hardly seems cluttered [23:58] how do I give tremulous write permisson to /usr/local/games? [23:59] I don't seem to have any man pages for the standard C library. What to do? [23:59] Zelozelos, I have found the default while using 4gig ram to use swap far too early.. [23:59] alexander_: for some games its may be better to install them in the users home dir. if you want users/games to be able to update theirselfs. [23:59] alexander_: are you the only user on the system? [23:59] yes [23:59] it wont actually write in any directory.. [23:59] duffydack, how can i change it? [23:59] dugger5688: server for small development, in fact, gui only to ease management on it, and gui disabled at startup, just styarting when needed, then closed
