[00:00] i guess i didn't know how serious it was. it just looked like a text file to me at the time. durring this session tho i've learned more about the sources.list file. can it go back to default without reinstalling the system? [00:00] !swap > Zelozelos and scroll down half way [00:00] Zelozelos, please see my private message [00:00] Zelozelos, vm_swappiness [00:00] kk ty duffydack ill check it out, from what i remember about vm is that w sys's with lots avalible psyscal mem vm isnt needed untill around 3/4 or 1/2 full [00:01] Hello! I'm on #ubuntu-classroom right now, but I can't figure out how to ask a question? Typing QUESTION: doesn't work. [00:01] serrano: join #ubuntu-classroom-chat [00:01] Zelozelos, with my sys, it gets near max before swap is used, which is how I think it should be used. [00:02] I don't think mine has used swap yet. [00:02] is there a way to return the sources.list file to default. mine has apparently become corrupt [00:02] duffydack, do u use any memory intensive programs such as a rendering program, or blender w an object w over a million polys? [00:02] Zelozelos, its 60 by default, for some reason when the actual swap page "recommends" 10 [00:02] Zelozelos, virtualbox`s [00:02] black_ru i can't enable the compiz on it [00:02] dunno why [00:03] join #ubuntu-classroom-chat [00:03] Pici: Thank you! [00:03] I need some help, I need to nvidia drivers and install an ati one I have it downloaded just not sure how to get it to remove the nvidia ones [00:03] maybe someone somewhere will explain why ubuntu swap page recommends 10 when it sets 60.... [00:03] cablop: On what? [00:03] xangua: What do I put for Kernel? [00:04] soreau ubuntu 10.04 running inside a vm [00:04] it was working before, but not working today [00:04] I've loaded the ISO, selected the distro, but it asks for Kernerl and initrd file. [00:04] Kernel [00:04] causingfire: Could you rephrase the question? [00:05] how could I remove nvidia drivers? [00:05] ty for the info duffydack im gonna do a reboot, then reset my swappyness [00:05] i like how 10.04 looks, but i think they implemented too many and bloated things and that jkust make extremely complicated to migrate from 8.04 to it [00:06] Like what? [00:06] cablop: running inside a vm, you might as well not even use compiz [00:06] one mans bloat is a nothers mans 'must have' features [00:06] any recommendation for a good upnp client? [00:06] waiting: what is the output of uname -a [00:06] i just thought i can use my graphics card just to free my CPU for that task [00:07] hi, question: I think one of the ppa's I've added is providing the "linux-image" package, how can I remove that ppa's version and go back to canonical's version of the package? [00:07] hasenj: theres a ppa-purge script ive seen (have to check google i suggest) Ive never used it however [00:07] !pastebin [00:07] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:07] soreau lol, my vm says it couldn't anable compiz but if i move windows they have those effects [00:07] haha [00:07] hasenj: you use apt-cache policy linux-image to see which you have installed and from which repository [00:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/461787/ [00:08] hey, i'll be play some 3d games, and it'll be fine for a while, then, randomly my fps will drop by 1/2 or more and stay like that until i reboot [00:09] bastid_raZor: thanks .. that command shows the latest version is from the ppa [00:09] can anyone in here tell me do you have update-notifier or update-manager in your startup ? [00:09] http://pastebin.com/9KWeCQk9 [00:09] hey yall [00:10] how u doin? [00:10] polterge|St: i'll use to kill them from my system, i dislike annoying update popups [00:10] hey [00:10] Is it possible to install 32 bit Python on a 64 bit Ubuntu system? [00:10] idk [00:10] Anyone know how to remove nvidia drivers [00:10] idk as well. [00:11] causingfire: use the package manager. if you installed them via the package manager.. [00:11] I know there's something like: dpkg install --ignore-architecture [00:11] but I think that'll overwrite my already existing code [00:11] er... already existing installation [00:11] monokrome: why do you need 32bit python? [00:12] monokrome, i just heard the old way [00:12] hey, i'll be play some 3d games, and it'll be fine for a while, then, randomly my fps will drop by 1/2 or more and stay like that until i reboot [00:12] monokrome just install a fakeroot or chroot into a 32bits subsystem [00:12] Dr_Willis: In order to link the 32bit python DLL to a project that I'm working on that has to be compiled as 32bit [00:13] monokrome: i never did by myselgf, but a friend used that technique too run 32bits java [00:13] Dr_Willis: I never tried that I was trying to go through the terminal... [00:13] ok im trying to follow these directions, but i dont see the syscpl1.conf ? [00:13] what I am wanting is for someone to look at their startup apps who has a default config in ubuntu so that I can find out if update-notifier needs to be a startup app in a default ubuntu setup [00:13] causingfire: 'sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME' and i dont know the name [00:13] cablop: That technique works, but it's redundant and might as well just reinstall 32bit Ubuntu [00:13] tried in kubuntu, didnt get an answer. can i save window size and positions in kde? firefox wont start maximized, kde itself remembers maximized but not positions (if not maximized of course) [00:13] monokrome: or create a vm inside your 64bits distro, it also will be ok for you to test the final product [00:13] bsatid_raZor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/461787/ [00:13] My 64bit distro is already a VM [00:14] So make another VM that's 32 [00:14] dugger5688: That's what I just said [00:14] duffydack, any idea why i dont see the sysct1.conf file? [00:15] I just was making sure there wasn't a simple way to get it working here before I jumped into backing up my code/libraries/etc [00:15] Zelozelos: it's an L not a 1, /etc/sysctl.conf [00:15] how is there a limit to how many monitors i can hook up to one pc running ubuntu? === avidya is now known as wai [00:15] well, this is an old CPU, but it's working fine with that ubuntu with compiz enabled... just eating from 12 to 22 of my processor [00:15] For those on Facebook, Linux Day event on 10/10/10, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=139371406089935 [00:15] the extremely weird behavior is the following [00:16] Zelozelos, like trism says sudo pico /etc/sysctl.conf [00:16] just to move the mouse inside the VM raises the CPU usage to 45~65!! [00:16] Dr_Willis: they installed via Hardware Drivers(jockey-gtk) when I first started using ubuntu so I really don't know the name [00:16] that didn't happen inside 8.04 [00:16] heh that totally loooks like a 1 on the site rofl [00:16] someone who was helping me found out that there's something wrong with my repositories. Someone please help. This shunning thing can't be. this is the ONLY ubuntu chat help line... === jay is now known as Guest82705 [00:17] hi, new installation of ubuntu_studio. i connected to wifi but the connection keeps dropping every 10 seconds or so [00:17] Is there a way to set the volume limit to "Unamplified" instead of "100%"? My sound quality starts to reek after Unamplified. [00:17] ? [00:17] can anyone in here look at their startup apps for me and let me know if update-notifier is in there ? [00:17] really easy to do [00:17] well, maybe i'm willing to switch kernels [00:17] hello, does anyone know how I can open a .BOK ebook file? [00:17] a server or a vm kernel... dunno [00:18] duffydack, trism there is no vm.swappiness found in that file? [00:18] polterge|St: yes it is, but I always disable it [00:18] any recomendation about what to strip out from a ubuntu install to make it lighter? [00:18] that is what I wanted to know [00:18] polterge|St: you could make a new user and see what the new users default startup apps are. [00:18] well what I want to know are a few things .... [00:18] A) is it in the startup [00:18] how can i get kde to remember window size and position? no solution in kubuntu [00:18] B) which user uses gksu to run it by default [00:18] is it possible to have multiple monitors on one pc, with each monitor having its own workspace and its own resolution? [00:18] likely root ? [00:19] er i mean #kubuntu [00:19] a C) once it is ran at startup does it stay running as a daemon for anytime sources are updated ? [00:19] g[r]eek: its possible. [00:19] no one belived my problem before, but now someone has found out what's wrong on my computer. i need to return my repositories to default. help please. [00:19] polterge|St: as far as i know gksu is the graphic equivalent to su [00:19] g[r]eek: depens a little on what you mean by 'workspace' [00:19] cablop, this is what I was thinking also [00:19] like su'ing to root and doing this [00:19] Hello people [00:19] ok this is one question answered === Sodlig is now known as ech0tk [00:19] or 2 rather [00:20] waiting: paste bin your sources.list and give url to the channel [00:20] thanks [00:20] waiting: http://pastebin.com/0bbpSpFC replace your /etc/apt/sources.list file with the text in this pastebin [00:20] does update-manager run as a daemon ? [00:20] Zelozelos: it doesn't contain all the kernel variables, mostly just examples, just add the lines you need [00:20] no one? [00:20] Hello I just installed Lucid and I'm not able to play .mp4 videos, I already tried with vlc, smplayer, and already installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, I really do not know what else to do, any ideas? [00:20] polterge|St: ypu can also use the console and launch things this way sudo -b gedit anytrhing, for example [00:20] Dr_Willis, i'm referring to the multiple "desktops", as in, if i right-click on this window's title bar i get "move to workspace right" etc [00:20] how can i manage services now? [00:21] waiting: I also thing the original sources.list is backed up at /etc/apt/sources.list.save [00:21] Guest82705: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras maybe? [00:21] the service manager is not here in 10.04 and the way to manage them changed a lot [00:21] trism, i assume with out the # right? so just add vm.swappiness=10 to the bottom of it? [00:21] g[r]eek: that would bne more window manager/desktop feature. ive never seen it done that way. I think theres one 'window manager' out there that sort of has that feature. [00:21] So instead of my one screen flipping between workspace one and two, i'd like two screens, so that when i switch to workspace two, my keyboard / mouse are focused on another screen [00:21] Blue1, already did that also [00:21] Zelozelos: yes, that would do it [00:21] awsome ty trism, duffydack [00:21] Dr_Willis, ok that answers my question. I was basically wondering if Ubuntu could do this out-of-the-box [00:21] g[r]eek: you can have 2 seperate X sessions so the 2nd montior always stays the same [00:21] Guest82705: sorry that worked for me. [00:21] here is why I am asking these things I found a command to make update-manager not autolaunch and pop up but I want to run update-manager in my xfce notification tray in sidux any time my sources are updated so I know to go to terminal and use aptitude and dist-upgrade. In this area ubuntu and sidux are similar enough that what works on ubuntu likely would work on sidux / sid [00:21] Hello everyone ! [00:21] no way to manage services now? i want to disable too many of them, but can't [00:22] do i get to sources.list from the GUI or from the command-line terminal. i just need to open the file so i can copy that text [00:22] Dr_Willis, I don't want to bug you, so could you point me to a good article on X-sessions? I'm a relative newbie but I can figure it out [00:22] cablop: rename file in /etc/init if its a upstart service [00:22] I have a problem w/ my homemade mail server but i can't locate what's is going wrong [00:22] update notifier works because I tested it earlier but I just want to know if I run it as a startup app if it will automatically update sources and check for updates [00:22] polterge: Why not just run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade once a week? [00:22] waiting: in a termainl type this: gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list [00:22] cablop: the old way of removing symlinks in /etc/rc2.d/ still exists [00:22] Dr_Willis: and how to know what service is what? [00:22] bhalash, because aptitude is a bit more automated [00:22] g[r]eek: for nvidia - the nvidia-settings tool has a config/check box to ebnable the 'seperate x sessions' feature. Ive never used it.. never saw a need for it. [00:22] k [00:22] it has flags like --with-recommends [00:22] or full-resolver [00:22] cablop: a simple tool to handle it is being made as a google summer of code project for inclusion in 10.10.\ [00:23] it can solve issues with dist-upgrades that apt-get cannot [00:23] cablop: why do you want to disable services when you dont know what they are? [00:23] Ah [00:23] it is simply more automated [00:23] hello i have a problem. i cant write ubuntu on a disk :D i downloaded it.. i follow the instructions on the website and i get "unknown error" than i tried with k3b. also error, than i tried with k3b ran with sudo .. and also error :S i have one last CD can somene tell me how to install this image on a cd :S [00:23] and it is smarter in many ways because it prompts you [00:23] I created the user "dummy" but I can't connect thunderbird to my server [00:23] it asks you first 99% of the time [00:23] abuayyoub, Calibre reads CBZ CBR CBC CHM EPUB FB2 HTML LIT LRF MOBI ODT PDF PRC PDB PML RB RTF TCR TXT [00:23] I think both have autoremove although in sidux autoremove is disabled because it is sid / squeeze stuff [00:23] hdtdi: Have you checked the md5 values? [00:23] Dr_Willis, thanks for the help [00:24] what did "gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list" do? [00:24] and since things always change in sid you do not want to autoremove because you might break the system [00:24] EgyParadox, no i dont know how [00:24] So it's official... x64 Ubuntu won't install on my machine, yet I've a 64 bit architecture. [00:24] I just was trying to find out if I can run this update-notifier at startup to know when I have updates [00:24] All I get is a black screen. [00:24] Oer, cool I had never heard of a .bok before [00:24] waiting: that command wont do anything.. [00:24] !md5>hdtdi [00:24] hdtdi, please see my private message [00:24] hdtdi: first did you md5sum your download? [00:24] it is easy enough to go to terminal and use "aptitude full-upgrade" [00:24] waiting: ahh. i missed part of the commnad..: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [00:24] i'll paste it [00:24] or aptitude dist-upgrade [00:24] abuayyoub, i can't find it too [00:24] I've tried 10.04, 9.10, CD-R, DVD-R, and USB. [00:24] oh okay [00:24] I realize the latest ubuntu is moving to apt-get dist-upgrade === hasenj_ is now known as hasenj [00:24] they are moving away from aptitude rather [00:24] waiting: you need an actual 'command' for sudo to run.. ie: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [00:24] Blue1, i dont know. .i just clicked download now [00:24] not a bad thing but I just prefer aptitude [00:25] hdtdi: private message ok? [00:25] apt-get is part of apt rather while aptitude is a frontend [00:25] ok [00:25] Oer, apparently it's a HOL-TestGen ( whatever that is ) file [00:25] !speech === kloeri_ is now known as kloeri [00:26] being a frontend it can do a few more things because of the features aptitude has. The only drawback is that sometimes the resolver in aptitude wants to remove things that should not be removed [00:26] rarely though [00:26] can i make ubuntu 10.04 read say, an article in firefox? [00:26] as it has gotten better with sid stuff it does not really do this and you can always press ctrl + C [00:27] same as in ubuntu rather [00:27] !orca>laeg [00:27] okay i replaced the text. should it have the numbers to the left of it like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/461790/ or what? [00:27] well... now i have to strip this thing down, just to barebones [00:27] i don't need bluetooth or all that stuff in a vm [00:27] can someone pls tell me how to find this ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs directory on my cpu? [00:28] i think it would be nice if they start to create a vm edition [00:28] zacharyrs: thats in your users home dir. [00:28] !md5sum [00:28] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:28] zacharyrs: use the 'show hidden files' feature of the file manager [00:28] waiting: no, no numbers on the left.. either words or ##'s [00:28] Oer, wow! Thanks man this program is sick [00:28] De_Willis, so Home Folder? [00:28] abuayyoub, i know :-D [00:28] zacharyrs: thats in your users home dir. <---- thats what i said. :) [00:29] Dr_Willis - TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:29] zacharyrs: ~ = shortcut for /home/username [00:29] EgyParadox: that did nothing but i've got the idea, thanks [00:29] !orca [00:29] laeg: Orca [00:29] ty :) [00:29] okay i guess i'll copy/paste them line by line to skip the number. is there anything i need to know about syntax while entering these lines of text. like spacing or number of enters? [00:30] Oer, it loaded the .bok file but I am not sure how to read it... [00:30] waiting: you can copy paste it from pastebin by copy/pasting the 2nd box on that page. [00:30] Hello guys, how to make mplayer the default video player (at least for .avi) in lucid? [00:30] waiting: the patebin sites normally have a 'download' link that lets you save thje filw without the cut/pasteing from the browser [00:30] waiting: after you have the file copied.. save and exit. then in terminal type: sudo apt-get update [00:30] denis: right click on an .avi file, properties. tell it to use mplauyer, [00:30] EgyParadox: fyi - text to voice for firefox [00:30] Is there any way to restrict the memory usage of a single command? [00:31] I choose mplayer to be default in contextual menu, but it still opens with totem by default [00:31] okay. but just to be sure i'll pastebin you my sources.list results when i'm finished. [00:31] here is another question for you guys ... do you think it would be any different running update-notifier with gksudo instead of gksu ? [00:31] anyone used atunes in ubuntu? [00:31] Oer, damn wont load it. [00:31] is there any body know the way, how can I do slide show without Xserver??? [00:31] polterge|St: gksu and gksudo are the same [00:32] Anyone here have any idea how to read a .bok ebook ?? === SuP|Lobby is now known as mEphIstO1 [00:33] laeg:Orca is a screen reader, it can include any application actually, I dont know if there is something like that only for firefox. [00:33] denis: use the properties gui.. the context menu method has issues it seems [00:33] I have ubuntu server running ebox, and I'm looking for a method of monitoring / logging instant message traffic... I've found less than nothing on this so far... thoughts? [00:34] Dr_Willis: thanks, that helped! [00:34] bastid_raZor, ok this is what I wanted to know [00:34] how to install java runtime ? [00:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/461793/ [00:35] or would I just add my user to sudoers and no password for running update-notifier ? [00:35] Krenari: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:35] damn, too many things changed from 8.04... why they do a LTS that you can't upgrade to a new LTS with this insame amount of pain??? [00:35] that way I can put "sudo update-notifier" in my startup [00:35] whi use now instead of xorg.conf? [00:35] I'm trying to set up a Jabber server with MUC and so far I've gotten nothing. I'm running from a fresh ubuntu-server install and I did an aptitude install jabberd2 and I cant connect... c2s seems to be starting then exiting. [00:36] and it would just run at startup without problems [00:36] hi 2 all!! Where i can find any info about linux on Glofiish X800 PDA? [00:36] what is the replacement of xorg.conf? === barb is now known as _2 [00:36] i saved sources.list.save as (and to replace) sources.list [00:36] cablop: X does some autoconfig, but xorg.conf really is the only way it works. [00:37] cablop: i have several ssytems with no xorg.conf needed. [00:37] then... i think i need to create a xorg.conf file and then edit it... right? [00:37] cablop: what are you needing to configure in it? [00:37] i need to force the screen resolution, it is running inside a virtual machine so screen has no real size [00:37] <_2> no sound here [00:37] cablop: in virtualbox ? or vmware? or what? [00:37] i need to force it to 1024x768 [00:37] virtualbox [00:38] cablop: If its VirtualBox, then just install the Virtual Machine Additions [00:38] i'm preparing a simple presentation on dual boot, so i'm doing things i've never done b4 -- had a dual boot of vista & ubuntu -- then removed the ubuntu partition -- so now i can't boot windows -- how do i get windows boot restored? [00:38] it detected the vm, and using a weird 1024x737 resolution :S [00:38] resize the window :) [00:38] Dr_Willis: it has the vbox additions, but it's setting a weird resolution [00:38] cablop: resize the window. [00:39] Is there a way to download .deb packages that are listed in Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu on a Mac running OSX and then transfer them to the same machine running unbuntu 10.4 and then install it? Does this question make sense? [00:39] Dr_Willis: it also runs compiz, but see my card as unknown andmonitor as unknown [00:39] cablop: ive noticed with the additions (i think) i was able to resize the desktop/window and have the virtual desktop/system also resize.. i think.. been a while since i last tried that === mario12_ is now known as mario12 [00:39] compiz in virtualbox? i dont think thats going to work very well [00:39] Yocraig: you can download the packages from the apt repos directly. [00:39] <_2> alsamixer shows all ok, but no sounds [00:39] Dr_Willis: its working fine in vbox nonfree [00:40] Yocraig: just use dpkg -i (packagename) [00:40] compic will work in virtual box, but you have to have a good video card [00:40] iceroot: thats interesting. whats the host machines video card anyway? [00:40] DR_Willis, yes i can drag and resize the window size, but i got used to make that size a fixed one, so i don't have weird behavior when moving from shell to graphics [00:40] Does Anyone know how to make jabberd2 work? I've googled my heart out but i cant for the life of me get c2s to start and it just drops connections! [00:40] Dr_Willis: paravirtualisation [00:40] polterge|St: i have update-notifier running the background already. [00:40] Dr_Willis: vbox nonfree can use that on vga [00:41] Dr_Willis: opengl is running very fine with vbox [00:41] alright [00:41] Dr_Willis, yes it's working well enough i just have a few effects [00:41] polterge|St: it is started by being in Startup Programs. it was put there automatically [00:41] Dr_Willis, mouse movement is eating more CPU than compiz on it... lol [00:41] Dr_Willis: also running opengl games with vbox is great [00:42] i tend to just use vbox these days to test out Live cd ISo's :) [00:42] hehe [00:42] i'm using that to emulate a smalllinux server for my svns mostly [00:42] i tried to download the file for sources.list from that website and got this while downloading http://paste.ubuntu.com/461794/ [00:42] ok, the problem is my internet connection recently switched to wi-fi. This works fine when I boot the machine under MacOSX but wi-fi doesnt work under Ubuntu because i never installed the hardware drivers to make wi-fi work....at the time I didnt need them. Now I do. [00:42] Dr_Willis: have a look at the new 3d features, its very nice [00:42] im looking for an OS that just runs music... very light.. i will be on a 700 Mhz processor.. and all it does is run music... [00:43] i know i can do that on my windows, but really i don't want to get used to do apache, mysql and svn on windows [00:43] picard1421: xubuntu [00:43] no videos.. no thing just music.. wav, flac, that sort of thing.. no other function.. no itnernet.. nothing ... just a music player.. [00:43] i cant install java in this way " sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre " [00:43] picard1421: normally people 'play' music. not run it. :) [00:43] i plan to buy a new pc and move my development one to full linux :P [00:43] !partner | Krenari [00:43] Krenari: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [00:43] iceroot: xubuntu will run fine on a 700 mhz processor.. all i need is the music part? [00:43] picard1421: i am running ubuntu on 630mhz [00:43] picard1421: i think you can try xmm2 [00:43] iceroot: xubuntu... and it runs fine.. no hickups? im literally just playing music [00:44] picard1421: look into some of the Mini disrtos out there. like lubuntu, or roll your own with tiny core linux.. Unless you want a Console Only interface. [00:44] picard1421: but maybe you want kubuntu 8.04 lts with kde 3.5 and amarok 1 [00:44] i never used it but heard it was intended to be music server or sth like that [00:44] no i just want an easy to use interface.. it will be a touch based music player.. no keyboard etc.. [00:44] meh [00:44] picard1421: i guess there is no better player then amarok 1 [00:44] i have a touchscreen .. [00:44] touchbased? [00:44] picard1421: getting the touch screen working may be the hardest part. [00:44] mmm maybe xubuntu with amarok would be good enough [00:44] iceroot: I've been using my iPod to control MPD :) [00:44] if not try banshee or try [00:44] mmm let me remember the name [00:45] is there something lighter.. it can literally be NO os.. [00:45] just bootup into music player etc.. [00:45] picard1421, laptop touchscreen ? [00:45] just a GUI music player [00:45] picard1421: xubuntu or lubuntu [00:45] i forgot the name, it's a xmms clone, but well done :P [00:45] Hi... so, I downlaoded and burned the live CD, it didn't want to boot on my laptop (t43p). It did boot and pass media check on another machine, so I know the CD is good. [00:45] guys, try Minitunes :D [00:45] no ... its a physical touchscreen [00:45] picard1421: lighter then lubuntu would be some roll your own minial install and a lot of work. [00:45] whats the difference between xubuntu and lubuntu [00:45] picard1421: install something and then fiddle with gdm or w/e [00:45] picard1421: and as i said, i am running ubuntu n 630mhz fine [00:45] picard1421: lxde vs xfce [00:45] picard1421: lubuntu is lighter then xubuntu but both can run music-player fine [00:46] I remembered having a simialr problem, a couple years ago, wtih this laptop (t43p) so I did what I did then - downloaded the altnerate CD. Booted fine. However, my purpose from the start was to boot into the live CD and use gparted to repartition. Is this possible with the alternate CD? [00:46] well, you can also install a ubuntu netbook edition on top and use it picard1421 [00:46] picard1421: i have seen a few 'media player' disrtos out there. geexbox is one. theres others.. not all are ubuntu based however.

[00:46] can anyone tell me about Java runtime environment [00:47] Krenari: What abou tit? [00:47] Krenari: what about it? [00:47] !Java [00:47] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [00:47] Krenari: enable the partner-repo (i already gave you the factoid) ad install jre [00:47] <[thor]> yj_: fascinating, tell me more! [00:47] picard1421: that's why i told you to try ubuntu network edition, just few items enough for you [00:47] Anybody know if I can do gparted repartitioning wtih the alternate CD? [00:47] puff: alt cd dosent have a gui. [00:48] why ubuntu network edition? [00:48] picard1421: or, maybe think in another OS, maybe a gogle android will suit you more, dunno [00:48] puff: no gparted, but you can probably use parted. [00:48] picard1421: cause ubuntu netbook edition has less GUI controls and i think it has a media player inside [00:48] cablop: is it build for x86 already as a distri? [00:48] Hm... I need to massage my partitions, currently laid out as 5GB /, 10 GB /home, 30 GB /bulkdata and 4GB /swap (in that order ont he disk, e.g. swap is at the end). [00:49] you can download the ubuntu network edition from the ubuntu website now [00:49] I'd really, really like to avoid having to reload everything to /home and /swap, so I want to resize instead of just reinstalling from scratch. [00:49] How hairy is this going to be with parted? [00:49] puff: What are you hoping to do as far as massaging is concerned? [00:49] puff: resize what exactly? You want to enlarge /home ? [00:49] puff the problem is parted could change your partitions uuids and then you need to retrieve them and manually fix the fstab [00:50] puff also take care at configuring your grub with the new uuids [00:50] brb [00:50] I want to enlarge root partition (/) because 5GB is apparently not enough. [00:50] or you wont boot, and cause the grub2 'smartly' saves things in one of the system partitions.... [00:51] I'm actually planning to reinstall to root, since this laptop is on edgy. [00:51] And LTS jist iterated. [00:51] puff: yep. 5gb is a little tight. BUT you could perhaps move some dirs in / to be on /bulkdata and free up some space on the actual / [00:51] 10.4 is know as...whaty-what<----whats the nickname please? [00:51] Dr_Willis: Nope, alreqady did all that. [00:51] Yocraig: Lucid Lynx [00:51] Yocraig: Lucid Lynx [00:51] Dr_Willis: And I'm still barely scraping by :-( [00:51] I cant imageine having a hard drive that tiny any more. :) [00:52] even my /boot/ partition is a few GB these days. [00:52] hah what for [00:52] Dr_Willis: Yeah, it's the last of the original thinkpads, and they scream if you don't boot it iwth exactly the right hard drive model. [00:52] GBS!!!!!? [00:52] for a boot? you only need 200 MB or less [00:52] thank you [00:52] Docteh: i set up grub2 to boot some 'ubuntu.iso' files from /boot/ as a qway to recover/reinstall with no extra media needed [00:52] Dr_Willis: I even uninstalled the JDK package (because I've been doing java forever and I'm used to rollnig my own). [00:52] cablop: it depends on your needs. [00:52] i see [00:53] an interesting boot... [00:53] Anyway, ugh... so, should I bother trying, or just resign myself to reinstallingand restoring from a bakcup? [00:53] hey [00:53] well i barely believe i fell comfortable with grub2 [00:53] where do I have to go to get some help with sockets? [00:53] *feel [00:53] I have an up-to-date backup, files rsynced to a terabyte USB drive. [00:53] puff: you could resize home to how you want.. then reinstaall to the new / but you alw3ays want to have backups [00:54] juboba, What's the problem? [00:54] Dr_Willis: Well,that's my goal... resize root, then reinstall to root, leave home and bulk untouched. [00:54] Dr_Willis: Er, untouched except for resizing them to free up space for root. [00:54] question: my wireless sorta works: I see my router in the list, but it never "connects", keeps asking for the password again and again [00:54] okay i've finally done everything i've been told to do so far. but i'm getting this message now when i try to sudo apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/461799 [00:54] puff: if you just resize. i dont think the uuid's will change. But you may want to write down what UUID's each filesystgem is befor and after you resize. [00:54] puff i'll suggest you to get a grub1 bootloader for emergency [00:55] puff: you can change the uuid's if you wanted. :) [00:55] Dr_Willis: Okay, I'm getting the feeling that a) this is something I should do when I have plenty of free time and b) maye I should just bite the bullet and reload from backup. [00:55] Dr_Willis i faced that in the past and just resizing changed those uuids [00:55] Dr_Willis: filesystgem? [00:55] cablop: Ihave a supergrubtdisk around here somewhere. [00:55] then i just wrote the /dev/sdx equivalents on grub and fstab [00:55] I recall the command 'tune2fs' can change teh UUID's to whatever you want. [00:55] nice command [00:55] hello? [00:56] :) [00:56] brb [00:56] cablop: ive heard it both ways. Ive never really resized much. :) i got /home/ on its own 2TB hd. :) [00:56] Bleah... got a couple pretty girls waiting for me, guess I'll schedule this for later. [00:56] I appear to have messed up some of the permissions of a couple of my home directories, which is now breaking my setup ~/.ssh/authorized_keys setup. I'm forced to enter a password to the accounts I accidentally chmod'ed and chown'ed the dotfiles for. Can anyone give me a good idea of how to fix this? [00:56] lol! [00:56] puff: this is moar impormnatnt then females! :) [00:56] Thanks for the advice, see you in a day or two when I'm back to having plenty of free time :-). [00:57] puff, i'll just graban external disk and do all from scratch again :P [00:57] hasenj:Please ensure what kind of WiFi security you have, (WPA/WPA2,WEP,etc). [00:58] Люди у кого стоит Linux Ultimat Edition 2.7 ????? [00:58] cablop: Yeah, leaning that way...

[01:11] no [01:11] both [01:11] waiting: GUI would probably be easier for you. Just find the file (places > home) and double click it.

I have to continue testing, in a few minutes I will ask the same, BRB [01:29] Flannel: i already replaced the text in sources.list to what now works for at least updating. the list to copy was sent by another user and there was way more text than that. should i add these ones or leave my, now working repositories as is. [01:29] hi ppl i need help i cant update my ubuntu i get err mess [01:29] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1FFD34C9EB13C954 [01:29] this is the point maco, KDE based apps need a KDE core to be able to run [01:30] waiting: If you've already got somethign working, then don't worry about it. [01:30] cablop: i suspect the simple fact that we linux users are more likely to care about beta testing makes it a lot harder to get things working right on windows... cross platform FOSS tends to fair worst on windows :-/ (except firefox, because they do special compiles) [01:30] cablop: i dont know what you mean by "a kde core" [01:30] BluesKaj: ok did that and no other text came up [01:30] you barely can use them in simple small or resource demanding devices expect if tou use linux on them [01:30] cablop: you need kdelibs and libqt, just like on gnome you need libgnome and libgtk2 [01:30] the first time i ried to install amarok on windows i needed to install a lot of things to be able to run it [01:31] i feel like emulating it [01:31] help what is the problem "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1FFD34C9EB13C954" [01:31] Flannel: back when people were telling me to run 'sudo apt-get update' they were also telling me to type in a second command too. do you have any idea what that may have been? another part of the update? [01:31] in contrast when i wanted to install gnumeric i just installed it [01:31] causingfire, so try to install the app now [01:31] cablop: by "make all the core KDE SC work" i mean the stuff thats in the main svn repo, not extragear [01:31] without asking me to install anything from gnome [01:31] Flannel: i gave him my sources.list .. i have a copy of the default list saved. [01:31] cablop: you didnt have to install gtk manually? [01:31] waiting: After updating, `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` would work [01:31] can i add videos to my iphone in ubuntu 10.04? [01:31] werll, i expect to install just the base qt [01:31] cablop: because to get the gimp going on windows, you need to install gtk manually first. thats dependency resolution. lack of repos / package management with dependency resolution is a windows failing [01:32] thanks [01:32] BluesKaj: E: Couldn't find package envyng-qt same error [01:32] well maco... i see that lack of repos as an advantage, not for me, but for real use of opensource in a business environment [01:32] !envy [01:32] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [01:32] can somebody point me to how to fix the "error the symbol 'grub_env_find' not found" grub error? [01:33] hey guys when I trying to run monkey messenger I get this error --> http://pastebin.com/g41rLCeQ please check it.! [01:33] cablop: how? as youve noted, lacking a package manager makes hunting down dependencies a pain in the rear [01:33] @ Oer: Thing is that I've had this problem for a while now (years) and decided to test IRC again, really miss it. But the problem started by completely loosing my network, but could still see people typing and would not see me, and I would fire up firefox and couldn't get any website, then connect to router's page and same, dead, but IRC was still active, I would have to reforce router to restart, and this issue happened to me like hundreds of times, on [01:33] ly with IRC, and almost any IRC client. So I'm testing now to see and understand what could be.... [01:33] cablop: its classic windows DLL Hell [01:33] people don't trust a software that need to be upgraded every 6 months while they see the 'same' windows xp lasted for almost 8 years [01:33] causingfire, then that app isn't available [01:33] ola pure|hate === avidya is now known as wai [01:33] cablop: get LTS releases [01:34] gues what a manager told you if yopu say you need to upgrade a whole distro jst to make the latest firefox run on a desktop [01:34] causingfire, look for envyng-gtk [01:34] what does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade do? [01:34] cablop: don't need to upgrade to run firefox -.- [01:34] pune: That means that the grub in our mbr + embedded area has become out of sync with the modules in /boot/grub. You can use grub-install to re-install grub to the mbr, but you should also setup the grub-pc package properly so that things don't get out of sync again in the future. [01:34] not finding the package isn't an error, causingfire [01:34] Away [01:34] LTS fail for desktop :( a boss don't want to hear they need to upgrade too many things just to make firefox run or get a new openoffice [01:34] Flannel: what does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade do [01:35] give me a sec ben64 [01:35] waiting: updates all the packages and dependencies [01:35] out of sync? i just installed 10.0.4 from teh CD [01:35] what did it not sync? [01:35] <-- running LTS on desktop since Hardy Heron [01:35] i cannot execute even in sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [01:35] what was the name of 8.04? hardy? [01:35] any ideas why ? [01:35] yes [01:35] i neet it for ettercap === Neo is now known as Neo|Desktop [01:36] cablop, u just answered your own ? [01:36] i'm asking if hardy is 8.04 [01:36] pune: Do you have more than one hard drive? [01:36] it is [01:36] cablop: yes [01:36] magog: sudo tee -a 1 | /proc/....blahblah [01:36] i'm having trouble getting my samba shares recognized on my internal lan. i did the smbclient -u thing it just wont show up and gufw is definitely disabled. i am protected by a good router [01:37] !tee | magog [01:37] okay downloads are now working. Mission accomplished. Thank you so much for working with me, everyone. I hope i haven't ruined your day. peace [01:37] waiting: It'll upgrade all of your software to the latest versions in the repositories [01:37] i learned a lot here today [01:37] thanks [01:37] i have a pdf file i can read in evince, but adobe reader says its corrupt. the only printer i have available is connected to my friends windows machine. how can i check/repair a file in ubuntu? is the file really corrupt, or does this problems happen often between evince and adobe reader (win)? [01:38] magog, bastid_raZor: echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [01:38] Flannel: ah, i had it backwards [01:38] !tee [01:38] hi guys i have a problem i can get sound from Firefox but nothing else [01:38] bastid_raZor: You need the elevated permissions for the write, not the echo :) [01:38] back [01:38] anyone know how i can make my volume keys on the keyboard execute a script? [01:39] "Keyboard Shortcuts" doesn't work since I removed pulseaudio. [01:39] hey guys, when i'm using dstat -m i got in the memory usage a section for the memory (used buff cach free) [01:39] so anyone knows buff and cach means [01:39] ? [01:39] Ben64, maybe not for firefox, but there's no OpenOffice 3 for hardy [01:39] how can I install ati drivers? I have the file downloaded to install it but when I try I get an error Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.32-21-generic; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro and when I type in --iscurrentdistro I get another error? [01:39] userone: You could print to pdf from within evince. [01:39] cablop: then upgrade to lucid :| [01:40] well, lucid didn't existed in the past [01:40] hi there, I have a simple question, how can I kill X on Ubuntu 10.04? [01:40] causingfire_: Use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. [01:40] tsccof: alt+sysrq+K [01:40] and my boss just said, they're not going to use linux if they have to upgrade each time a new office suite appears [01:41] cablop: same thing on windows if you think about it [01:41] they can upgrade to OOo in windows without stopping the office work [01:41] Jordan_U: the file is already in pdf. I can only print in windows but adobe reader wont read the file. how can I check if its really corrupt? [01:41] Jordan_U: thanks === wai is now known as avidya [01:41] tsccof: You're welcome. [01:41] cablop: and the upgrade to 10.04 is very easy [01:41] nope, you can install OOo 3.0 in windows xp, and windows xp is 8 years old!!! [01:41] Jordan_U: nothing comes up when I do that === vorian is now known as v [01:41] i didn't mean OO in windows, meant MS office [01:41] this is what my boss told me and i can't economically argue againsta that [01:42] userone: I know that it's already a PDF, and this is somewhat convoluted, but printing to PDF should create a new PDF that will likely be readable by Adobe Reader. [01:42] well, for that boss to upgrade means to stop work in the office for at least one day or more until everything is ok again [01:42] If he can't be arsed to keep his systems up to date then it's his fault [01:42] well office 2007 can be installed on top of winxp... that is 5 years of distance... and still works, i technically understand the thing, but not my boss and not the people who pay the bills [01:43] hi guys i have a problem i can get sound from Firefox but nothing else [01:43] Jordan_U: sorry, i misunderstood you. let me try that. [01:43] cablop: There is probably a PPA available for the latest Open Office [01:43] and what non-technicall users feel about ubuntu is that ubuntu is not mature enough for a productive office [01:43] yay [01:43] oops [01:44] sorry wrong window [01:44] if i was your boss, and noticed you work with ubuntu 8.04, you would be fired [01:44] Why is it when I change /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts (to make 127.0.1.1 the same as hostname) that I have other issues like Network_Manager not working on my netbook lucid [01:45] cablop: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa You'll still need to upgrade to 10.04 for the latest Open Office, but that PPA should keep you up to date between LTS releases. [01:45] i think a better approach was to have stable repos you won't change in two years, not a single change, and build on top of them, not with the latest library available, just to ease updates [01:45] If I was your boss and noticed that you said i instead of I, you would be sent to detention. [01:45] lol [01:45] well, Jordan_U that's good today... but not one year ago [01:45] how do I uninstall the nvidia drivers that installed via Hardware Drivers when I can't see any thing that comes up? [01:45] hmm, so why is that you can't install OO 3 in 8.04? [01:46] super [01:46] cause a non-techie user can do that install [01:46] hi guys i have a problem i can get sound from Firefox but nothing else [01:46] HardDisk: Now that's exactly what I'm looking for, need someone? :P [01:46] *can't [01:46] cablop: then teach him/her? [01:46] anyway, i just tell you one of the problems [01:46] cablop: what's the difference for XP? [01:46] they son't want to be taught [01:46] seriously, why do I have to go through so much BS to get a modem working? Every single modem I've ever owned, I have to download all sorts of nonsense, compile drivers, etc. What's even more annoying this time is that this modem used to be supported, and for some inane reason, support has been taken out [01:47] cablop: then ubuntu is not for them, yet :) [01:47] in xp the user just call me and ask what to do, i can say him/her the steps with no need to see any window [01:47] cablop: To be fair, most non technical users don't care if they're running the latest version of Open Office :) [01:47] in ubuntu i just say, well, enter the shell and, and they became scared [01:47] is envyng in the lucid repo if so which one ? i've updated and switched to the main ubuntu server but it won't find envyng-core [01:47] cablop: with linux, you just SSH in and install it, the user has to do... nothing [01:47] well, back in those days that was an issue [01:47] cablop: You can add PPAs completely via the GUI [01:47] they need to be able to open docx [01:48] Jordan_U: the print to pdf within evince is hanging at page 2 of 4. so perhaps the file is corrupt, but then why can evince read it without any problems? [01:48] the customers or providers use ms office and use docx and xslx and if the OOo cannot handle them they wanted to be back on ms office, and windows... of course === Stupendoussteve is now known as AltF4 [01:48] Jordan_U: i can do it in this moment, but not in the past [01:48] i'll set a timer for 15 minutes coz i can't figure it out [01:49] cablop: well most of the time OO can handle MS office docx. and so on.. afaik [01:49] ola [01:49] can anyone help me find how to stop my clock from drifting with ntpd (ntpd seems to be sleeping on the job) (ntpdate works though) [01:49] hehe, and non-techies can't be just taught... didn't you herd the phrase "don't teach me! this is the reason you was hired for!" [01:50] cablop: make sure your saving them in the proper .doc format not like .doc for '97 [01:50] cablop: This is a support channel, so please take discussion about unsolvable issues to #ubuntu-offtopic (or ideastorm if you'd like to propose a new way of handling upgrades). [01:50] May I've some help solving whey I only get a blinking black screen after choosing to install 9.10 or 10.04 x64? [01:50] you can't tell your boss to tell all the company customers or providers to send things in docx frmat!!! [01:50] Eww... *.docx [01:50] or doc or odt! tyou can't force your providers to do that! [01:51] don't try to use OO for MS office docs unless it's a vary simple doc [01:51] found the deb for envyng-core np i'm good [01:52] Question 1: Is there a ubuntu equivalent of the 'address bar' from the WinXP taskbar, and 2) Would missing PCI brackets cause a computer to overheat?

I then rebooted then chose ubuntu (non recovery mode), and my computer just rebooted and went back to grub. How can i fix this? [02:18] hm [02:18] Jordan_U, I've tried that [02:19] (dual booting, sorry forgot to add that) [02:19] windmill: or edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:19] windmill: Are all nfts partitions on the drive mountable? [02:19] Jordan_U, no.... there is an error... this looks bad [02:20] member:windmill: what is the error? [02:20] how can i recover a corrupted pdf file? I have already tried pdftk, and evince (but only evince) can still seem to read the file [02:20] windmill: It's not that bad, it means that Windows likely wasn't shut down properly. [02:20] Hi, would anyone happen to know why when I try and get xchat to play a sound as a notification it just comes out as noise and not the notification sound I am trying to have it play? I've been searching google for an hour with no luck. :/ [02:21] Jordan_U, Error mounting: mount exited with error code 12: etc [02:21] what is the opposite command to startx? there's no 'stopx' [02:21] Hello [02:21] windmill: Since the partition can't be mounted update-grub can't detect that it contains windows. You can add a temporary entry though, and once windows has booted and run chkdsk you'll probably be fine. [02:21] cablop:kill [02:21] lol! [02:22] what is the correct flag to decent;y shutdown the X server? [02:22] Jordan_U, that sounds great, I don't understand this new grub2 stuff, I don't seems to have a menu.lst [02:22] cablop: kill is not that bad it's kill -9 that is the killer [02:22] hello, I just got a new hard drive today, and wanted to install ubuntu on it (my current HDD has windows 7), on first load the disc did have some error but said it would boot into desktop mode. so i used gparted to format the disk to extf3, then installed ubuntu, after install it asked to restart. I then rebooted then chose ubuntu (non recovery mode), and my computer just rebooted and went back to grub. How can i fix this? [02:22] windmill: You add custom entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, wait a second and I'll pastebin an apropriate menu entry for you. [02:23] ok - I dont seem to have an xorg.conf file and my machiendoes not remember its resolution between boots. [02:23] Hi! No one told me if the open PCI slot brackets would cause my PC to overheat :( [02:23] Jordan_U, that would be great thanks [02:23] well, i can't convince other people that a command called 'kill' is fair, noble and innocent :P [02:23] And as for the address bar thing... it's like the linux terminal, but just oneline of it at a time, on the taskbar... I guess that isn't so practical in this world [02:24] kpx you can disable Samba service when you don't use network sharing [02:24] windmill: I assume that windows is installed to the first partition? [02:24] Jordan_U, yes [02:24] My etc/x11/xorg.conf file is blank - do I need this file to hold my resolution between reboots? [02:24] kpx also I think in Samba configuration you can disable sharing of your resources [02:24] cablop: man kill said "kill - send a signal to a process" not "kill - destroy at random" [02:25] Jordan_U, I sort of had half a clue with the old grub but I don't follow what's going on in the new grub.d scripts [02:25] For those on Facebook, Linux Day event on 10/10/10, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=139371406089935 [02:26] I can't get my modem working in ubuntu. I'm sick of trying, and meh. Whatever [02:26] windmill: Add this to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom and run "sudo update-grub": http://paste.debian.net/80192/ [02:27] Guys How to turn of network discovery.... So no windows machine can see me.... [02:27] hello [02:27] Jordan_U, thanks I'll try it now [02:27] windmill: You're welcome. [02:27] and by the way, it makes absolutely no sense to have linux-based tools for identifying modems when you can't download them when you're in linux if you can't get your modem working [02:27] ok, this is strange. i can open a pdf file in evince and gimp, but i cant print-to-pdf in any application! any ideas? [02:27] My etc/x11/xorg.conf file is blank - do I need this file to hold my resolution between reboots? [02:27] Hi, would anyone happen to know why when I try and get xchat to play a sound as a notification it just comes out as noise and not the notification sound I am trying to have it play? I've been searching google for an hour with no luck. :/ [02:28] hi i'm new to this. i have purchased a acer h340 and i am currently running ubuntu of the usb stick in the back, i have two hard drives avaialble [02:29] which are hot swappable, but i am not sure how to detect them, can you help me? === vorian is now known as davros [02:29] GrMn open Gparted [02:30] iola amigos [02:30] GrMn: or "df -h" or "fdisk -l" for cli [02:30] cabei de instalar e estou muito orgulhoso do sistema [02:30] what is what ... which would be easier to use?? [02:30] evince crashes if i try to print a pdf file with another filename [02:30] GrMn the GUI "Gparted" [02:30] i'm brazilian [02:31] and yours [02:31] Dmole: thank you, i do not have a window manager running yet, so i will do that [02:31] Jordan_U, new problem, it only starts to boot windows now and then reboots.... [02:31] GrMn: what are you trying to do? [02:31] I changed my user password in the cli , but the wallet didn't register the change , i need to change it to the same pw ...any suggestions? [02:32] Jordan_U, your entry showed up in the menu but windows won't boot [02:32] windmill: Do you have a windows install CD that you can use to run chkdsk? [02:32] quit [02:32] cafesociety: Me too .. BRA [02:32] is there a general file repair toolkit in ubuntu? [02:32] Jordan_U, no don't think so [02:33] Dmole: i'm trying to set up my server [02:33] windmill: Did you actually see a windows logo or some other indication that windows was booting before it rebooted? [02:33] Jordan_U, yes [02:33] quick question. just installed xchat, but i cant find the userlist. anyone know how to get it on? [02:33] GrMn: then just select the install option from the boot menu [02:33] legal daiane qual a plataforma que vc usa em seu pc? [02:33] Jordan_U, windows logo, then flash of blue and then post [02:34] Bilz: It's on the right-hand side of the channel. [02:34] Dmore: i installed it and it came up as the command line. [02:34] view userlist check box [02:34] windmill: did you delet a partition that had a swap file on it? [02:34] i installed ubuntu 10.04 this evening, and my wireless isnt working. i enabled the proprietary hardware driver, and that still didnt remedy the issue [02:35] cafesociety: Olá! Aqui? To com o Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop ... [02:35] GrMn: ok so if it's installed then now what do you want it to do? [02:35] i also tried the non-proprietary driver for my particular chipset and that also didnt work === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [02:35] Dmole, I don't really understand what you mean. I didn't delete a swap partition... how would that affect windows? [02:35] e ai ta gostando? eu migrei para o xubuntu pq nao aguento mais o ruindows [02:36] hello, I just got a new hard drive today, and wanted to install ubuntu on it (my current HDD has windows 7), on first load the disk did have some error but said it would boot into desktop mode. so i used gparted to format the disk to extf3, then installed ubuntu, after install it asked to restart. I then rebooted then chose ubuntu (non recovery mode), and my computer just rebooted and went back to grub. How can i fix this? [02:36] is there a specialist ubuntu data recovery chat channel? there doesnt seem to be anyone onl;ine here at the moment who can help me recover a pdf file [02:36] cafesociety: hahahah bom... aqui é dualboot ainda, tipo, ainda estou configurando a máquina... [02:36] Dmole: i have the H340 media server, it has 4 hd bays, i have two in there but i cannot see them or i do not know how to see them. i need the space to transfer my information from my external hard drive from my lap top to the server [02:37] windmill: This is just being optomistic, but maybe it marked the filesytem for chkdsk and will run on the next boot. I'd give that theory a 1 in 4 chance... [02:37] e este mal tambem sofro tem dual boot aqui tb?...vc esta tc de onde? [02:37] Jordan_U, I'm starting to get a slightly sick feeling [02:37] windmill: windows sometimes keeps files on partitions to use for swap, if you removed one in order to install ubuntu you might get a problem like that [02:38] Dmole, I didn't remove any partitions I just resized the windows ntfs one [02:38] cafesociety: Em Palmas/TO... rs [02:38] userone: try backtrack [02:38] puxa esta longe estou em sao paulo [02:38] ai e muito calor === frogonwheels_ is now known as frogonwheels [02:39] terra de alice [02:39] i installed 10.04 tonight on a friends laptop and the wireless card isnt working properly (not detecting any wireless networks), i tried using both the proprietary and non-proprietary driver for it, but the issue still persists [02:39] cafesociety: hahaha sim sim, é o que dizem [02:40] GrMn: "df -H" will list all mounted partitions and related info [02:40] cafesociety: Vamos para o PVT, aqui podem "grilar" [02:40] vamos la [02:40] Jordan_U, Dmole, I've found an old XP disk, not the one used to install the machine, any chance that might help? [02:41] windmill: Yes, get into a recovery shell and run chkdsk. [02:41] GrMn: if your drives are not listed with "df -H" then it's likely they are not formatted "fdisk -l" will list drives [02:41] Dmole: the only thing mounted shown is the usb stick [02:41] Jordan_U, is it obvious how I do that? [02:41] Dmole: how do i see the list of possilble hard drives [02:41] hello, I just got a new hard drive today, and wanted to install ubuntu on it (my current HDD has windows 7), on first load the disk did have some error but said it would boot into desktop mode. so i used gparted to format the disk to extf3, then installed ubuntu, after install it asked to restart. I then rebooted then chose ubuntu (non recovery mode), and my computer just rebooted and went back to grub. How can i fix this? [02:42] windmill: Let's continue this in ##windows. [02:42] Is Ubuntu setup to be seen on a windows network or not? [02:42] GrMn: "blkid" is a nice way to do it [02:42] LinuxPerplexed: I believe you're looking for samba [02:43] ok, something strange is happening here. i installed evince-win on my firends machine but it cant read the pdf file that i can read on my ubuntu evince!!!?? how? [02:43] I have samba and I am getting NOWEHRE Setting it up [02:43] Hey guys, I ran into a problem, I need to install the 9.10 kernel but when I do it screws up the nvidia drivers and most likely others, It said that you should use the meta kernel but where is that online for 64 bit? [02:43] Dmole: i'm sure i'm not the smartes cookie what does it do, i tried running it nothing comes up [02:43] LinuxPerplexed: click on the link in this article: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309 [02:44] valonn: use a live cd to look at boot logs to see what is up, ot reinstall [02:44] hi everyone [02:44] wont reinstalling just give me the same problem? [02:44] how do i get the UUID of a device for use with grub? [02:44] Dmole: i tried man and that command nothing came up [02:45] Neo|Desktop, sudo blkid [02:45] Neo|Desktop: sudo blkid [02:45] thanks [02:45] GrMn: maybe you don't have it, what did "fdisk -l" say? [02:45] Jordan_U, I'm there now [02:45] Hey guys, I ran into a problem, I need to install the 9.10 kernel but when I do it screws up the nvidia drivers and most likely others, It said that you should use the meta kernel but where is that online for 64 bit? [02:46] Purpley: I am runnning 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 w no problems (nividia driver 185_ [02:47] Blue1: That isnt my point, Im running lucid lynx and need the older kernel so I can install a driver [02:47] I've been asked by a friend to "generate a +event,+key,+keyboard,+xim log" since I've been having keyboard problems in Wine. Does anyone know how to start the log? [02:47] Purpley: i am also running 9.10 64 bit with nvidia geforce card with no problems [02:47] Purpley: backport? [02:47] Is there a way to use multiple kernels? [02:47] Purpley: that is beyond my knowledge level, sorry [02:47] userone: Congratulations please read my previous message though === daiane is now known as VivoVerde [02:49] I add the folder as a share under samba and then it never shows up in the right clickable menu??? [02:50] i installed 10.04 tonight on a friends laptop and the wireless card isnt working properly (not detecting any wireless networks), i tried using both the proprietary and non-proprietary driver for it, but the issue still persists. i cant enable the device and as such wont detect any wireless networks [02:50] Purpley: i dont know about multiple kernals, sorry...but yes, my machine runs like a dream!!! if only i could recover my pdf document now..... === aubreyja is now known as aubreyja_ [02:50] Purpley: you can use different kernels but only one at a time... or make your own [02:50] I was told before installing two kernels was fine and nothing bad would happen but that wasnt the case the package description told me that it was recommended to use a meta kernel === aubreyja_ is now known as aubreyja [02:51] Anyone with some free time who could look into my question? I'm not sure whether to just use xev or whether it involves something more. [02:51] Dmole: Can you explain this, http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9323230&postcount=38 ? [02:51] He says it works but it doesnt for me :( [02:52] So seriously... has anyone found a solution to the mousewheel problem? I've had this since I started using Ubuntu with version 5(something). One touch of the mouse wheel scrolls all the way in one direction... can't interrupt it. I've searched forums and asked here many times... nothing. [02:53] Dmole: Also, If I use the 9.10 kernel would any functionalites change? Like would many things break? === gibowski is now known as grmn [02:53] Anyone: If I [02:53] dmole: sorry, it froze after i tried install kde [02:53] Anyone: If I'm meant to "generate a +event,+key,+keyboard,+xim log" do I use xev? [02:53] sjdurfey: Did you update the system after installation? I think I once have run into the same problem and that I solved it just doing an ordinary update of the system. [02:54] Hello! [02:54] :D [02:54] realubot: yeah, that was the first thing i did [02:54] mirko_, Hi! :) [02:55] hi edbian :D [02:55] /wc [02:55] My Sun xVM 2.1.4 will not work with mouse, what is the problem? [02:55] sjdurfey: Ok, just wondering. I cannot help you out on this then. try searching the laptop model and Ubuntu wifi problem at Google if you doesn't get help here. [02:55] grmn: no need for bulky GUIs on a server:) but crashing is not good... did you run out of RAM? [02:55] hello [02:56] anyone can help a hand with apache2.conf and cgi-bin [02:56] dmole: no got 2gb [02:56] Purpley: hmm seems a bit fishy to me [02:56] dmole: i want this to store all my data as well as serve up my music and movies [02:56] realubot: i havent found anything useful on google yet, surprisingly, when i click on the network icon, the option to "Enable Wireless" is grayed out :( [02:57] Dmole: And another guy said there isnt any dangers involved in installing two kernels previously in this channel [02:57] dmole: i do not know my way around the command line yet or the system, i just jumped with both feet right in [02:57] sjdurfey: Ok, that probably means that your wifi isn't detected by the system. [02:58] sjdurfey: The driver may be the problem, I don't really know. [02:58] sjdurfey: Does it work in Windows? [02:58] dmole: i can [02:58] grmn: that's ok, so what did "fdisk -l" say? [02:58] realubot: hmmmm, this was after installing the hardware driver for it :/ ..... yeah it works just fine in windows [02:58] anyone???? [02:59] rg58sma: what you need? [02:59] hi folks, when my computer boots up it gets to "Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems..." then gives a (initramfs) prompt [02:59] If i type "exit" [02:59] i need install osTube or another applications like thats [02:59] ubuntu starts [02:59] dmole: i'm going to run it and see [03:00] Confusing as heck. Any ideas? [03:00] Hi. I've burnt Ubuntu to CD, and am attempting to install, but it's hanging on the load screen for the installer. The screen before I've had a chance to have any input, with the five progress dots. Any ideas? [03:00] but i need install cbi-bin [03:00] dmole: it doesn't give me a list at all [03:00] i have a pdf file that opens in evince and gimp, but does not open in pdf editor, flpsed pdf annotator or xpdf. i just want someone to explain if the file is corrupt or not, or at least give me some ideas why this is happening so i can try to fix this problem. anyone? [03:01] rg58sma: what makes you think you don't have that? [03:01] grmn: pastbin it [03:02] Dmole, if you're not too busy, could you tell me what I need to do to "generate a +event,+key,+keyboard,+xim log"? [03:02] Dmole: the script run in perl [03:02] and not work [03:02] I have Samba - I add a share in Samba - am I supposed to be able to then share folders with a right click? [03:03] userone: pdf is a nasty format try inkscape or resave it with what dose open it (gmail /google docs) [03:03] sjdurfey: Ok, well I don't really know how to solve the problem. Usually you don't have to install a wifi driver in Ubuntu at all. Usually the system will detect it anyway. [03:03] sjdurfey: Maybe the driver is doing more hard than solving the problem. [03:03] ~dmole: i think it is the way the hardware is set up in the server as a raid configuration, can that be it [03:03] realubot: yeah, this is the first time ive had an issue with wireless cards in ubuntu [03:04] WillWill56: sorry don't know [03:04] It looks like there might be some sort of bug in gdebi-gtk === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:05] sjdurfey: Yeah, sorry I can't help you out on this. [03:05] I'm looking for backup application to save files locally on ext4 and ntfs, occasionally via LAN. On ms i used Cobian, but in Linux i don't. Can you help me please? [03:05] rg58sma: apache should run perl scripts is it not doing so? [03:05] I have some read only files stuck in my nautilus cd burner. How do I remove them? [03:05] Hey what does HH stand for? Its a ubuntu version [03:05] Some sort of error formatting one of the strings - http://pastebin.ca/1898169 [03:05] Well release [03:05] grmn: if you are using hardware raid you will need drivers [03:06] Purpley: Hardy Heron, verion 8.04 [03:06] Purpley: Hardy Heron (8.04) [03:06] Ahh thanks [03:06] What kernel does lucid lynx use? [03:07] Purpley: 2.6.32 [03:07] dmole: i'm actually not sure how the raid is run, i think it is software at the beginning of the install it recognizes the drives but i do not want to install it there as i want the full space on the hard drives and run the server of a usb stick [03:07] hp-check flags 4 missing python extensions even after i have removed and re-installed hplip. are these extensions important? my printer prints blank sheet. [03:07] Bump. I've burnt Ubuntu to CD, and am attempting to install, but it's hanging on the load screen for the installer. The screen before I've had a chance to have any input, with the five progress dots. Any ideas? [03:07] Dmole: i have tried to save it with another filename, and even tried to print-to-pdf with another name, but evince crashes when i try this. yet evince can open the file without problems. is the file corrupt? how can i check this in ubuntu? [03:08] dmole: and now it doesn't show anymore, when i put the hard drives in it gives me errors as it recognizes them right away [03:08] Does Ubuntu have file sharing with windows OUT OF THE BOX? [03:08] Hogrin, Did you use the alternate cd install image? [03:08] grmn: if you are using software raid you will see your drives in "fdisk -l" [03:09] Dmole: nno no [03:09] LinuxPerplexed, Yes. To connect to windows shares, just navi the network [03:09] ozfalcon: it would appear that the best way to fix a problem is to spend several hours trying to figure it out, and then final give and ask someone else. As soon as you do, the problem fixes it's self. Thanks anyway. [03:09] dmole: it doesn't come up, the hard drives weren't in the on the initial install, how could i run that again right now [03:09] I loaded Lubuntu and I like the performance but I cannot deal with Samba not working [03:09] LinuxPerplexed, Not OUT OF THE BOX but if you install / config samba [03:09] I am new [03:09] Forget it - too much hassle [03:09] I have tried to dinfig Samba 3x [03:09] LinuxPerplexed, If you want to serve files you need to config. If you want to get files from a windows server then just browse there with nautilus [03:10] config [03:10] when I click on my server names from Linux into Windows - it just sits there - does not open them [03:11] rg58sma: you might need to load perl; something like this "LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so" [03:11] I'm looking for backup application (GUI/Front end) to save files locally on ext4 and ntfs, occasionally also via smb:// LAN. On ms i used Cobian, but in Linux i don't. Can you help me please? [03:12] I would like to see a fix to grub2 backported to lucid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/563895. I am not sure if it is proper to say backport when lucid is the latest release and also the package is listed as grub2 (1.98+20100702-1) unstable. Would I be wasting my time requesting it as it listed as "unstable"? [03:12] grmn: there is no way the drives don't show in "sudo fdisk -l" but show up on install [03:12] anyone know how to make the fonts bigger in the chat window in pidgin? there used to be an option but now it's gone [03:12] Dmole: where?? [03:13] load the module? [03:13] Hi all! Is there a random music generator for linux? [03:13] Dmole: slap me silly sudo would have helped [03:13] dsnyders, What you you mean random? [03:13] dsnyders: what do you mean by that? [03:14] grmn: please use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to show what "sudo fdisk -l;sudo df -h;sudo blkid;" said [03:14] Hi guys, I noticed my wireless card only has support for the 9.10 kernel but the usb version of my card(I have the pci-e) has support for 10.04 is there anyway to change the actual drivers to support the pci version instead of the usb version easily? [03:14] dsnyders, What about "random Phase Music Generator" [03:14] Dmole: i guess i can run thru that and format them and then mount them correct??? [03:14] rg58sma: g2g use "find / -name whatever" or google it [03:14] Dmole: inkscape fails to open the file, but evince and gimp still does! is this file corrupt? how can i check in ubuntu? [03:15] ozfalcon, Muscovy, launch the program and pseudo-random notes come from the speakers. Controls to adjust various parameters. That sort of thing. [03:15] grmn: yes or they might be formated === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [03:15] dsnyders, http://sourceforge.net/projects/phase/ [03:15] Ok, so what do I apt get so that "man " will work?

[03:17] oh, that's quasi-bnf not redirects. [03:18] best [03:18] anyone using cup-1.4.4 with hp f300 series printer? [03:21] venger: I think that it's likely that fix will be backported. You can also safely install grub from debian unstable or maverick in 10.04. [03:22] Jordan_U, do you think i should go ahead an submit a backport request? [03:22] in light of a search not showing one requested currently === astradeus is now known as Asther [03:23] venger: A request has already been made for that fix to be backported to 10.04 ("Nominated for Lucid by Alvin"). If you want to separately ask that newer grub packages be added to the backports (rather than -updates) repository that might be worth making a separate request for.

Seems like network manager applet is not working here while the process is running. Nothing pops up in the notification area. If new connections are added manually they disappear instantly. The connection set using "alternate" install actually works fine. Any ideas? [04:01] Hogrin: Suggestion, have you tried installing the linux drivers? [04:02] I was hoping it would auto detect, but if not autodetecting, I expected it not to crash. [04:02] Eddie25: so no, i haven't. [04:02] Eddie25: Is it normal for ubuntu to fail to boot if it detects hardware it has no drivers for? [04:02] Hogrin: It may have failed duringthe auto-detection [04:03] Hogrin: No, it's not, but anything is possible I guess. [04:03] Hogrin: is that you believe to be the culprit? [04:03] Eddie25: yeah, everything works, until I add that card. [04:03] Hogrin: It must be failing during the detection. [04:04] Eddie25: Alright. Thanks.

And now i cant boot into either of my OSes. basically, how can i fix this mess? [04:04] Hogrin: Np. I'm trying to find the driver for it (Linux version), but I'm getting no luck right now.

[04:07] I installed python 2.4 [04:07] Can't I just install the depedency it needs maco [04:07] Hogrin: Don't worry about the acx kernel. It's an old version of Ubuntu and it's referring to a conflict with that old OS [04:08] phil_: youd python 2.4 will work, but you need to point the program at the right version of python now [04:08] Jordan_U: dont think i did, dont think i even got a chance both isntances that i burned the disc i got an error saying it recovered and that it would load up the desktop environment because isntall failed [04:08] phil_: you can have more than 1 version of python installed at once [04:08] Hogrin: Apparently, it can work with ndiswrapper. As long as you install it through ndiswrapper, it should work properly. [04:08] maco: I have 2.4 and 2.6 install RIGHT now and I'm getting that error [04:08] valonn: Please try running that check.

[04:21] Davelikehell, you need to use something like unetbootin or usb-creator [04:21] Davelikehell, just copying it over won't do it [04:21] Davelikehell: That's not enough to make the flash drive bootable, you'd need to also install grub2 and set it up to boot from the iso (or use a tool like unetbootin or usb-creator).

[04:59] septicmadman: it says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" right at the top/// [04:59] froggyman: Change GRUB_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" [05:00] maco: Is it enough? [05:00] froggyman do this first: sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bak [05:00] padhu: dont walk away from the computer while its logged in... [05:00] any help with my sound problem friends. [05:00] froggyman: You can use menu entry titles instead of numbers, that way things don't break when you get a new kernel and numbers change. [05:00] froggyman, that way if you mess something up, you have a backup of the original [05:00] !grub2 | slidinghorn [05:00] slidinghorn: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

[05:01] phil_: What is the context? [05:01] slidinghorn: Please read about grub2 and how it's configured before giving advice. [05:01] phil_: you may want to try #python [05:01] askhader: Installing a dpg [05:01] maco: that's correct, :-) [05:01] phil_: Can I see the complete output starting with the command issued? [05:01] is there any channel for sound so i can ask pls. [05:02] manoj: Maybe here. [05:02] Jordan_U: maybe I missed something but, there isn't a grub folder in ect/default [05:02] phil_: OH [05:02] Depends on the question [05:02] phil_: dpkg -i --force-depens-version [05:02] but i am struggling for the past 6 hours and have no help with my sound problem [05:02] slidinghorn: I now see that my advice is better given to septicmadman [05:02] phil_: i thought it was python itself saying 2.6 is too new. if its the deb, then use that dpkg flag [05:02] does anyone know how to change lowid to high id on amule ? [05:02] maco: I tried that, It told me my dependecies were broken [05:02] Jordan_U, You may (or not) remember helping me get a GRUB boot problem sorted out, and me mentioning that I would be doing the same setup (Win7 and Lucid) on another laptop. Just FYI it worked without a hitch [05:02] maco: is it harm when using proxy server? [05:03] True thanks for that I'm stuck in the past =/ [05:03] maco: After I tried to install [05:03] maco: proxy network* [05:03] oh, its a file [05:03] padhu: if its encrypted, you should be ok...ish... though ther are attacks for SSL that mean the proxy people, if untrustworthy, may have a chance.. [05:04] update-manager --devel-release   worked :") [05:04] phil_: better idea might just be looking for an updated version of that software that works with current python [05:04] maco: oh, [05:05] froggyman: You can get a list of your current menu entry titles by running: grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep -o '".*"' [05:05] Hi.

[05:20] orangeglo: man xorg.conf [05:20] manoj: probably a pulse audio issue [05:20] askhader: what? [05:20] askhader: basically I'm trying to share the internet connection from eth0 over a network connected to eth1.

[05:21] manoj change that [05:21] Yes. [05:22] orangeglo: As far as I know, Ubuntu 10.04 can handle this would a need for you having to edit Xorg [05:22] at the moment it is "Internal Audio" with "Analog Stereo Output" selected [05:22] Although I am familiar with the X11 configuration options for dual screen. They're not pretty. [05:22] manoj: Is there Analog Speaker Output ? [05:22] manoj: As an option [05:23] nope no option like that [05:23] On auto eth0 I have my internet connection, and on eth1 I have my lan connection, but when I tell eth1 to connect, it kicks me off the itnernet. Any ideas? [05:23] manoj : what is your laptop model ? [05:23] VPCEA16FG [05:24] and the sound driver ?> [05:24] askhader: oh Pulseaudio and all the issues with it since Ubuntu 8.04, at least Kubuntu doesn't use by default :) [05:24] alinourzad: above [05:24] sebsebseb: ugh tell me about it [05:25] how do i tell if i'm running 32 bit Ubuntu or 64 bit? [05:27] can anyone tell me one p2p program [05:27] try reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [05:27] manoj: Sound is a common issue with Ubuntu since 8.04 since pulseaudio. However with Ubuntu personally I woudn't mess around removing pulseaudio without knowing for sure, that it is the cause of the sound problem. There is something else you can try, if you got enough space in your install, to find out if the problem is pulseaudio or not. [05:28] r2d2: I've read that. It tells me to select options which don't exist, and click buttons which aren't there. [05:28] alinourzad: i used gnutella and edonkey a few years back [05:28] but i did not remove anything i just installed and updated my ubuntu with the update manager thats it [05:28] manoj: oh so sound worked before? [05:29] !ics > Slimp1 [05:29] Slimp1, please see my private message [05:29] r2d2: It says to check the box which says "Shared to other computers", but there is no such box. [05:29] i did not check as soon as i installed i upgraded Ubuntu then i checked everything is fine except the soud [05:29] manoj: ok and you were on 9.10 before? and sound worked fine there? [05:30] MaRk, please see my messages to r2d2. [05:30] nope i was in 10.04 and the kernel just got updated after the upgrade [05:30] it looks like you must first make a network for the other user, then enable a gatway for it though your pc [05:30] manoj: ok well your previous kernel/s are probably still installed, so you could boot from that and try [05:30] When I make a network for others to use first, the internet connection drops out, r2d2. [05:30] still no sound in that too checked [05:30] Slimp1: what version are you using? [05:31] manoj: are you using a gateway laptop? [05:31] MaRk-I: ok [05:31] MaRk-I: latest. 10.04. [05:31] MaRk-I: wrong one [05:31] manoj: ok [05:31] Slimp1: well those options are there [05:31] nope it is sony vaio e-series model number : VPCEA16fg [05:32] and it has a intel high definition sound card [05:32] Alright, I'll check again, give me a minute. [05:32] get the latest kernel [05:33] manoj: get the latest kernel, it worked on my friend's gateway === STiK is now known as BDsLoveGoat [05:33] manoj: options 1. stick around here, try the Ubuntu forums even, and someone may be able to help you properly. 2. It will take up quite a bit of space, but you could install Kubuntu and try that, doesn't use pulse audio by default :) 3. Maybe clean install and put 9.10 on or something. [05:33] it is indeed the later kernel i just installed exactly 15 hrs back [05:33] !sound | manoj [05:33] manoj: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[05:33] manoj: I can't really be of much help, so good luck! [05:34] Slimp1: eth0 is your internet, eth1 to share, you dont need to tell eth1 to connect, it does that automatically, btw you need to restart networking for changes to take effect [05:34] thanks sebsebseb for ur time [05:34] manoj: np [05:36] manoj: maybe I wasn't clear about something, if you do install Kubuntu, you have both, and then choose the one you want from log in screen. Seems a little silly to install all of that, because of pulseaudio though, but whatever may work I guess? [05:36] ' [05:36] w'[]e\ [05:37] sw2\==i=][p` [05:37] wildbat: ?

[05:43] giantpune: then right click to the clock, unmark 'block' and move it [05:43] Slimp: what about eth1?? [05:43] ahhh. ok. i feel like an idiot now [05:43] thanks [05:43] !panels | giantpune [05:43] giantpune: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:43] or restore the default configuration [05:44] Slimp: the one you edit to share internet with is eth1 [05:45] wildbat: you here?

[05:48] Guest88400: have you tried to update mplayer¿¿ with this PPA you can use a more recent version https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer [05:48] question, is Lucid pretty stable for netbook? I have the 9.10 remix still and didn't want to upgrade until I had an idea [05:48] I have ipv6 enabled, but can't seem to connect to [05:49] or ping6 eternal hosts [05:49] any ideas/ [05:49] Slimp: that's because you cant use both at the same time [05:49] no i used the one from splitted desktops [05:49] Is there a way to prevent rsyslogd from writing to the disk every few seconds? [05:49] MaRk-I: why not? [05:49] Alonea: Lucid is a long term release, so if it isn't stable as of yet, we have a long time to figure out how to make it stable (sorry I cant directly answer your question because I dont have a netbook...yet.) [05:50] AndrewX192: i beleive you can add a - before files logs you don't want sync'ed on every write in # [05:50] AndrewX192: /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf [05:50] thune3, I beleive thats for syslogd [05:50] not rsyslogd [05:50] Slimp: ok you can, but default is you connect one the other disconnects and vice versa [05:50] hm, maybe so [05:50] MaRk-I: okay, so where to go from here? [05:51] well, so far 9.10 has been alright, I have to compile the wireless drivers from source every kernel update and ubuntu one is buggy as ever though seems better recently, but besides that it behaves well enough [05:51] AndrewX192: i could be wrong. certianly changes wouldn't take effect until rsyslog is restarted. [05:53] Slimp: did you try adding it manually? [05:53] I managed to find the wireless drivers by pure luck as most places said to do ndiswrapper (Which dc'd me constantly...). Wonder if they work in lucid... [05:53] simple try a subnet [05:53] MaRk-I: adding what manually? [05:53] 89 [05:54] maybe this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-creating-ethernet-alias-for-eth0-network-device.html [05:54] the sharing connection, iptables etc. [05:54] MaRk-I: I wouldn't know where to begin.

I assume so, but wanted to be somewhat sure [05:59] yep no sound from the laptop speakers and there is very faint volume if i connect it to heaphone jack [06:00] Does anyone have a link to dl and install 10.10 from a repo? without using a disk?

[06:11] MaRk-I: Never mind, it worked! Thanks for all the help, you and everyone else. [06:11] Slimp: heh even better [06:11] yw [06:12] Hi, I just downloaded the open-ssh server, but do I need to run it somehow? Also, do I need to stay logged in for, or can I log out and just ssh into it from now on? [06:12] please someone help me [06:13] I want to use cygwin to install agave on windows. From what I had seen agave is not avaliable in the cygwin package manager. Is it possible to install agave in cygwin? [06:13] hi [06:13] Im currently installing a dual boot. I have installed windows 7 first on its own partition, and am installing ubuntu on its own partition. where do i want to install grub? [06:14] I have ubuntu 10.04, but I want to change to kubuntu [06:14] http://home.gna.org/colorscheme/ [06:14] maelstorm: at the very end [06:14] is there a way to not loose all my installed programs? [06:14] hmmm even after updating my kernel i did not get any help [06:14] Agu10: just install kubuntu-desktop to add kubuntu to it [06:14] maelstorm: whoops, I mean, the boot partition should also be on its own partition [06:14] maelstorm: it shouldn't hurt [06:15] maco: it's not the same as installing kubuntu [06:15] Hi all [06:15] maco: for example, the log-in screen is still gnome [06:15] Tom_: cygwin is a Unix command line environment for Windows. Agave is a GUI app. you'll need X windows, plus a bunch of GNOME libraries. [06:15] Agu10: it should have asked you during install which you wanted to make default [06:15] maelstorm: just for reference, I almost always keep my boot partition 32 MBm I never get close to 20 MB [06:15] thanks mneptok [06:15] Hello everybody!! [06:15] ^_^ [06:15] Agu10: to force it to reask: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm <-- choose kdm, not gdm, as default [06:15] robbmunson, when i issued aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav to run it played, but still my audio doesn't work [06:15] are there any drivers u can recommend i should install? [06:16] maco: thanks [06:16] Puneeth: try sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:16] Puneeth: im aware thats a LOT of bloat but I want to make sure we have all our bases covered.... [06:17] Puneeth: could your applications be trying to use PulseAudio, while you have alsa? [06:17] I am new to Ubuntu so I am still learning... Any tips on starting off? [06:17] If aplay plays... [06:17] How do I make a disc of files from the command-line of my server? [06:17] Poisoned_Gold: write down a log of what you did when you mess with stuff [06:17] robbmunson, by audio i mean, music, video audio etc how can i switch from pulseaudio to alsa? [06:18] Puneeth: check in the preferences page of each application [06:18] RobbieThe1st why is that important? [06:18] robbiethe1st: okay [06:18] I need to re-install windows 7, which I have dual-booted with ubuntu [06:18] puneeth: you may also want to try 'sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio' [06:18] how can I make ubuntu keep working after that? [06:18] I require explinations ^_^ [06:18] Robbiethe1st: i use Banshee for my Audio, and VLC for my video [06:19] Poisoned_Gold: Because when you break something, you will know what commands you ran to break it [06:19] Oh!!! I understand.. [06:19] Poisoned_Gold: and be able to ask someone based on those commands, or even reinstall and do everything -but- those commands [06:19] Exactly. Just a handy thing to do [06:19] !manual | Poisoned_Gold start here [06:19] Poisoned_Gold start here: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [06:20] Puneeth: VLC I know works fine with ALSA, and I haven't messed with Banshee [06:20] well removing pulseaudio can definitely break things... so write down what commands you used to break things... [06:20] Oh thanks ubotto i was looking for something like this [06:20] Robbiethe1st: Audio on VLC appears to be working.. Checking Banshee now [06:20] Hey [06:20] so do I need to fix the grub after installing win7 ?? === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [06:21] *Q* Where in Lucid do I look to modify the default application used to open specific document types. Like gedit for text files, etc... [06:22] greezmunkey, system preferences preferred applications ? [06:24] how the hell do people get used to the Terminal! It is so different from DoS [06:24] and I thought the Sudo command was to install something and I tried that but my computer just yelled at me... and said a bunch of mean mean words [06:24] bazhang: what happened, as near as I can tell, I opened a text attachment in evolution, I have wine installed, and windows notepad opened the file. I have not tried to open a text file since then, until now. I have a text file on the desktop I use for notes, this time it opened in windows notepad! [06:24] maco: it doesn't work. I have kde in the login, (which doesn't show the different users), and I have gnome when logging in :S [06:24] It takes a little work, but its not that hARD [06:24] well... when you actually work in linux and the bash shell, it's really easy to get used to the "terminal: [06:25] Poisioned: you can PM me if you want a bunch of terminal specific help [06:25] and yea. Just remember, at first, "ls" instead of 'dir' [06:25] bazhang: preferred apps does not cover generic file types from what I see. [06:25] RobbieThe1st: Banshee or Rhythmbox is not able to play any music file properly VLC is doing it but not well,,, too much of distortion [06:25] i think i'll install ubuntu-restricted-extras and see if that's going to help [06:25] Puneeth: lower your volume levels [06:25] Make sure nothings at max [06:25] Agu10: there's a settings/options thing on the login screen. each user can decide for themself whether they use gnome or kde when they login. when you choose one for yourself, you can set it as your user's default. installing software never changes a user's settings [06:26] Robbiethe1st: it's below half, should't distort that way [06:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal Poisoned_Gold [06:26] maco: oh, I see. but still, isn't it better to install kubuntu? [06:27] Agu10: if you reinstalled kubuntu from a cd, youd have to go back and install all the gnome applications you still want. either way, to have both, you're going to have to do a few steps. i tend to consider changing settings less time consuming than installing more software [06:27] greezmunkey, not sure there re: notepad as I don't use wine; what about right click properties and set there? generally I just right click open with, but you can set in properties as well [06:28] bazhang: I'll try that. [06:28] kubuntu has always caused an excessive amount of problems for me [06:28] bazhang: you da man, there it is! [06:29] honestly if you insist on going kde... i'd give opensuse a fair shake [06:29] maco: and I have emerald. how can I deactivate it to show kde's? [06:30] bazhang: http://imagebin.org/104833 [06:30] I installed Firefox 4 beta [06:30] Need a command to make a shortcut [06:30] in the console [06:31] bazhang: I was not aware that notepad would be considered to be a "default" application! [06:31] Agu10: you mean compiz ;-) emerald is just the decorator for compiz (an old decorator that's no longer supported, i might add). kde's window manager is kwin [06:31] any one help me to change status in empathy... http://imagebin.org/104664 [06:31] Agu10: if you have an autostart script set to start compiz you can remove it in system settings -> advanced -> autostart [06:31] maco: yeah, how can I enable kwin and disable emerald? [06:31] maco: I do want compiz, but I don't want emerald anymore [06:32] Agu10: ah ok. hmm i think compizconfig-settings-manager lets you set the window decorator it uses [06:32] Agu10: kwin has many of the same effects as compiz built in, by the way [06:32] Can anyone help me with a sound related issue? Lack there of. [06:33] maco: like what? [06:33] I did have sound, and now I don't. It wasn't working in games so I tried to fix it. Now I have nothing. [06:33] pjarnahom: click the empathy icon on the taskbar , it shows the options status (I think) [06:33] maco: so I should do kwin --replace in the window-decorator plugin? [06:34] Agu10: cube, sliding thing, all that stuff with showing the window previews in the taskbar... [06:34] MaRk-I, i've tried not working..... [06:34] Agu10: no, kde-window-decorator is the name of the thing for the window deorator plugin [06:34] Agu10: kwin and compiz are separate window managers. kde-window-decorator is what lets compiz use kwin's themes [06:35] hp-check indicates four python extensions cupsext, pcarext, hpmudext and scanext failed to load with hplip. i have removed and re-installed hplip to no avail. where's the problem?

[06:37] Manoj: i can just hear loads of disturbance now, now to make disturbance actual music, i'm installing ubuntu-restricted-extras....

[07:12] Jordan_U: still the same error [07:13] ... nevermind, I think I'll find out the old fashioned way [07:13] fluffy: Ok, then let's undo that with "mv ~/.config/gnome-session-bak/ ~/.config/gnome-session/" [07:13] hello, im trying to fix the ntfs partition which will no longer mount under linux, after a ubuntu crash. any suggestions ?? ubuntu actually says to run chkdsk /f, but windows wont even see the drive, its a whole TB which i dont want to tell my friend that ubuntu ate [07:14] fluffy: How comfortable are you with the terminal? Restarting X may get things working again, or it may mean that the next time you log in it will be very hard to start any applications at all. [07:14] Hii everyone.. I have a system pentium3, 40GB HD, 384MB RAM, what distro would be ideal for it ... I tried Lubuntu last time , but it has its own fair share of issues on it [07:15] please suggest [07:15] Jordan_U: im OKAY with it, but not extremely comfortable [07:15] fluffy: Is this Ubuntu netbook remix or standard Ubuntu? === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [07:15] Jordan_U: Netbook Edition 10.04, but running standard gnome [07:16] British question.

Thanks! [07:17] fluffy: Just so you'll have a likely to work fallback that you can choose from the gdm, "sudo apt-get install fluxbox" [07:18] Jordan_U: crap, it wont install because the wireless manager didnt launch [07:18] Jordan_U: and i therefore have no internet to it [07:18] fluffy: I was afraid of that, I was hoping that installing before restarting X would avoid that problem :( [07:19] fluffy: Is your wireless network password protected? [07:19] yes [07:19] Jordan_U: yes [07:19] bazhang, thanks for telling me in private it's Tonge [07:19] fluffy: Are your pannels showing up?

That should bring up the network manager prefernces, and kill it after 60 seconds in case it makes the terminal unavailable. [07:24] is there anyway i can delete all my sound settings and driver and make a clean install [07:25] fluffy: If it does bring up the network manager preferences, then set your wireless connection to connect automatically and be "available to all users". That way it will connect to wifi before you even log in. [07:26] Can someone explain to me without using a "!" how Ubuntu updates work? Ubuntu is not a "rolling release" does that mean that software such as GIMP (which just got 2.7) will only be updated after a long while and not necessarily after it has been packed for ubuntu? [07:27] ! === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [07:27] Jordan_U: it already is set to autoconnect, but it just ISNT connecting [07:27] Hii everyone.. I have a system pentium3, 40GB HD, 384MB RAM, what distro would be ideal for it ... I tried Lubuntu last time , but it has its own fair share of issues on it [07:27] oh well 2.7 is alpha but still [07:27] ManDay, #ubuntu-dev have better chances for this question [07:28] #ubuntu-devel [07:28] likely a stupid question for you folks. When i boot into my persistent USB install I get a menu similar to a liveCD gives, can I skip the menu and just boot the OS? [07:28] Jordan_U: i see a new install in my future [07:28] ManDay: Yes, it does mean that, but you can often get updated versions of programs from third party PPAs [07:28] ManDay: Ubuntu doesn't generally upgrade to new major versions of software after release, so e.g. GIMP will always be at version 2.6.8 in Ubuntu 10.04. [07:28] fluffy: It needs to be set as "available to all users" as well. [07:28] Jordan_U, is there maybe a complete PPA which holds all packages at the latest? [07:29] Hi all [07:29] or do i have to pick a PPA per program [07:29] ManDay: No, you have to pick a PPA per program.

[07:38] hey...does the linux kernel not support i7's? [07:38] rww, yes [07:38] Jordan_U: what now? [07:38] all i see is 'core 2/newer xeon' [07:39] rww, however, I don't know what I'm doing in here. My internet connection is ppp0 and there is junk like eth1 in here [07:40] anyone? [07:40] ariqs: copy it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ (with any passwords edited out) and link to the page it creates here [07:40] Peace Y'All [07:41] We have an issue here in the Ubuntu Saudi Loco team .. [07:41] s4ry: please continue dealing with your issue in #ubuntu-irc and/or #ubuntu-locoteams; it's offtopic for this channel. [07:42] Oops , thanks rww [07:42] anyone here had issues with cpu frequency not working in ubuntu 10.04 .. this has always worked for me until i upgraded to 10.04 - i have an ICH4-M chipset, and all the drivers seem to be enabled in the kernal config [07:43] rww, I've already completely gutted it *smiles* Anyway, I don't know that I needed it, but the mess, apparently, is causing a library I'm trying to use to crash because my connection isn't properly configured. I don't know what I'm doing, and I got my internet working by compiling drivers for my modem myself and winging it with wvdial. Which is another thing, why do I need sudo to connect to the net? [07:43] sudo wvdial, that is [07:44] ariqs: You probably need two lines relating to lo that look like http://paste.ubuntu.com/461911/ , but yeah, the rest can go if you have something else that can manage your connection [07:44] Help !! anyone know how it turn the network manager back on if it is disabled [07:44] ariqs: dunno. Presumably wvdial needs access to some device that your normal user doesn't have access to. I haven't used it in years, so I don't recall. [07:44] rww: thanks === t is now known as Guest28412 [07:45] for some reason my boot splash screen went from a nice resolution down to crapsville, how can i change it back? [07:46] rww: I get the same issue with gnome PPP as well /shrug [07:46] using kubuntu 10.04 lts and network management got disabled somehow. [07:46] http://pastebin.org/389080 <- I'm trying to figure out how to send status information from DD to the 'T2S' app-line I have there. It seems redirecting it to a file and then reading that file doesn't quite work. Can anyone suggest something? [07:47] what do I enter from the livecd to chroot my hard drive? [07:48] Blue1: mount the hard drive and use chroot . on / from the mounted harddrive [07:48] Peace Y'All [07:48] is this the #ubuntu etc channel ! [07:48] Yea [07:49] What problem do you have? [07:49] Great then [07:49] We have an issue here in the Ubuntu Saudi Loco team .. [07:49] Alright... [07:49] so...core i7 not supported natively in the linux kernel? [07:50] all i see is core 2/newer xeon option [07:50] For what? [07:50] it should work fine [07:50] we are tring to join the team ..but there is no way to do so [07:50] was trying to compile a hardware-specific kernel [07:50] Probably go with Core2 [07:51] I'm thinking that theres no extra options added on the core i7 cpu thats not in the core2 [07:51] s4ry, this is NOT the correct channel for that. [07:51] is there a wine cahnnel?!! [07:51] zus, #winehq [07:51] red or white? [07:51] thanks [07:55] anyone here know where I could write a script that'll correct my desktop icons, i use kubuntu and the top panel messes them up each reboot, but kubuntu channel has no answers [07:59] Hello, can someone enlighten me of what "dmesg | tail" means?

[08:10] ubottu: anyone | miststlkr [08:10] miststlkr: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:10] hello, liek a month ago, I installed mobilemediaconverter 1.6 and succesfully transcoded some videos (avi and flv) to mp4 and I was able to see them on my mobile, the problem is that now thr program doesnt seem to want to transcode anymore :( help [08:11] rww - might have gotten it... I think. Thanks anyway. [08:11] this is probably a silly question but can using Wine open me up to Windows viruses etc? [08:12] miststlkr: alright. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome has various basic info that might be of use [08:13] firefox 3.6 pack debian for jaunty , where is the file? [08:13] somethinginteres: To a certain degree [08:13] somethinginteres: But, it should only be able to mess with stuff in your Wine install folders [08:14] and you won't have anything launch when you reboot like viruses are wont to do [08:14] How do I use this patch? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scapy/+bug/96753/comments/11 [08:14] firefox 3.6 pack debian for jaunty , where is the file?

[08:17] alright, it does seem that I have that one in hand, so I'll skip to the second question on the next issue ;-) What is the name of the menu that you get when you load a liveCD which gives the option to run/install/memtest/etc? I'd like to learn more about manipulating that menu and don't mind doing the research but not sure what even to look up [08:17] http://www.dontevenreply.com/view.php?post=84 [08:17] I'm trying to add a line to sources.list but it's read only. how do I get admin access to edit this? === zkriesse is now known as MissPiggy === MissPiggy is now known as zkriesse [08:19] How do I use this patch? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scapy/+bug/96753/comments/11 [08:19] alexander_: sudo passwd [08:20] uhm.. no. what does that have to do with editing the file [08:21] !noroot | rxd [08:21] rxd: We do not support having a root password set.

[08:49] with wine and directx version [08:50] i have 8.0 but need 8.1 or higher [08:50] heh, silverlight on linux (moonlight) is crippled [08:50] I've only used it briefly [08:50] and it didn't work worth crap [08:50] microsoft is full of crap [08:51] just like flash [08:51] :p [08:51] it took what, ten years to get usable flash on *nix? and even now its still buggy [08:51] i expect the same from silverlight [08:51] * dive-o <3 flashblock [08:51] the internet is practically unusable without flashblock [08:51] agreed [08:52] with like 20 tabs open, you can easily get four or five flash ads to cripple even the most endowed boxes [08:52] most everybody I work with refused to even try google chrome until there was a flashblock for it [08:52] hey yall [08:52] yup [08:52] flash websites in a tab that i forgot about have caused me to come home and notice my machine is 300 megs into swap before [08:53] lol, so true [08:53] hi room [08:53] hiya [08:53] it doesn't help that playing even tiny videos with flash will use 90% CPU time [08:53] how do I get in to edit a locked config file ? [08:53] I'm just glad that the swapoff trick works on linux, never had a reason to try it until i started noticing flash leaking all over the place [08:54] Krezkey: locked as in vi won't let you edit it, or locked as in permission denied trying to open it? [08:54] not able to edit it to enable my network manager [08:54] Krezkey: sudo gedit [08:54] not able to edit what? [08:55] then open it with the open file dialog or whatever [08:55] ok i'll try that thanks [08:55] but be careful :) [08:56] man i love this new trackball, if it weren't for games i'd quit mice entirely [08:56] hi...does any one here work from home?? [08:56] dive-o: At least with chrome, even before flashblock, you can kill flash without killing the browser. [08:56] I've never used a trackball long enough to understand why people use them :/ [08:56] Jordan_U: agreed [08:57] yeah, I love that... chrome often kills flash :D [08:57] hi [08:57] auntie: I first gave one a serious try when my carpal tunnel got annoying in my late teens... never preferred them, but didn't dislike them. this one (kensington expert mouse) is simply amazing, so little movement required to use it [08:58] (having a bad flare up of carpal tunnel/RSI/something, so I'm forced to go ergonomic on everything) [08:58] I use to love my MS trackball. Still love it for gaming [08:58] dive-o: I've used a small laptop mouse to avoid RSI pain [08:59] since I can move it with two fingers without having to grip it [08:59] ok got drigtnet to work :) [08:59] driftnet* lol [08:59] ok still having an issue. i did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 and www.google.com is the only site that works [08:59] i've tried other browsers like Chrome, same issue [08:59] DNS issue then [09:00] cant get to any other website [09:00] RobbieThe1st, yeah i think so too [09:00] Anyone know how I can get sftp to work for a wordpress installation? [09:00] ok auntie, tried sudo gedit and bash said gedit command not found [09:00] but i dunno what to do [09:00] Google Google's DNS servers [09:00] there should be instructions [09:00] I've tried installing libssh2-php but that doesn't seem to solve it. [09:00] auntie: yea, thats why i love this trackball - two fingers can run it, dont need to click anything hard (since the middle button is an actual button, not a wheel you have to shove down) [09:00] the scroll is done with a ring around the ball that you can move from any angle, it's quite slick [09:00] dive-o: heh, my middle button is broken... I need a new mouse ;P [09:00] do I need to reboot my computer for that to work? [09:01] Zolomon: shouldn't need to [09:02] dive-o: I use a VPS at linode.com, I'm a bit inexperienced with ubuntu, can't tell what settings they've done/not done etc. :/ [09:02] Auntie gedit did not work, bash says command not found [09:03] Krezkey: use nano then [09:04] Krezkey: sudo nano -w myFile [09:04] sudo nano ? [09:04] I need help with Sakis3G, my SIM PIN is deactivated but somehow Sakis3G doesn't recognise that and aborts dial-up. [09:04] Zolomon: I wouldn't know, I don't know anything about linode or VPS in general (dedicated hosting, sure, but I've never had a reason to mess with a VPS other than doing work for a client) [09:04] but I'd assume sftp would just work, if ssh just works [09:04] i can't ping the system that running in UEC, anyong help me please? [09:05] BeeBuu: UEC? [09:05] hi dudes, i have a problem, when I come out X, and login to console mode, the system not authentificate my password, and say me: login incorrect, I insert the true pass 100% but.... , Can anyone help me plz [09:05] dive-o: Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud [09:05] dive-o: yes the Cloud come with ubuntu 10.01 [09:05] hello [09:05] dive-o: ( http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private ) [09:06] ah [09:06] just hadn't heard that abbreviation for it :) [09:06] rww: would you help me ? [09:06] BeeBuu: I haven't ever used it, I just know what it is [09:06] Uboy: if you forgot your password, boot a live CD, and remove root's password hash in /etc/shadow [09:07] RobbieThe1st, i changed my DNS to a google one and that still didnt work [09:07] rww: thank you [09:07] Uboy: but make sure not to remove any colons when you do it [09:07] BeeBuu: #ubuntu-server might be able to help if nobody here does [09:07] tried rebooting? [09:07] after that [09:07] bah, no [09:07] brb haha [09:08] Uboy: scratch that, don't remove root's hash... if it's ubuntu, you just have to remove that of your own user [09:08] auntie No, I know my password and in X server mode and desktop it's working for any sudo commands and...., but in console mode (out of X mode) it's wrong, why? [09:08] Uboy: I don't see how that's possible [09:08] hey what is this error in SWscanner? [09:08] [SIOCSIWMODE] 1: Operation not permitted [09:09] I cant open an interface to start scanning. [09:09] auntie, I'm trying to install Nvidia driver, but for do it, I must be in Console mode, and there, my pass is incorrect. so what can I do? [09:10] Uboy: edit /etc/security/access.conf and see if you're not allowed to login via console login [09:10] Uboy: have you modified your PAM stack? [09:10] Uboy: it's a longshot, no idea why anyone would change that... [09:11] help help... !!! [09:11] drive-o setting this scanner to get wep keys? [09:11] Uboy: failing that, just give root a password and login as root at the console [09:11] and then don't forget to re-lock the root account when you're done :) [09:11] auntie: for login in root (sudo -s) my pass does't work too [09:12] @drive-0 i need some help regarding the nvidia drivers instalation [09:12] Uboy: okay [09:12] r2d2_: it might need to be run as root, I haven't used swscanner though. But generally anything that's gonna sniff the network will need root. [09:12] Uboy: can you get root privilages on say... an xterm or something? [09:13] it's dive-o not drive-0 :) [09:13] * dive-o is going to be afk for about 5min, smoke break [09:13] jagadish_: what do you need? [09:13] jagadish: is it installing to a newer driver release? [09:13] thanks.... [09:14] no i have a old nv44 agp graphic card [09:14] jagadish: does hardware drivers cant handle the installation? [09:14] i am using ubuntu with my onboard card right now, as soon as i switch to he agp [09:15] the machine goes nuts [09:15] auntie: I can speak and undrestand English very well, so what your meaning of privilages, you mean can I do a commands with Sudo? [09:15] auntie: sorry, I can't .... (no I can) [09:16] jagadish: have you tried the administration>hardware drivers if it handles the intallation for you [09:16] i found a compatable driver on nvidia's site but dont know how to install it [09:16] Uboy: can you get to a prompt that has a # at the end? [09:16] jagadish: can you paste the site [09:17] RobbieThe1st, alright even after reboot i get the same result [09:17] I can't connect to the internet via 3G. Can anyone help? [09:17] i read on some forum thread that it might have to do with ipv6 [09:17] but i'm not 100% sure [09:17] auntie: can u say an example command for that? [09:17] all i know is in the console i can ping any website [09:18] and all i get is google in the browsers i've used [09:18] Uboy: can you just "sudo"? [09:18] here's the thread i read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579900&page=2 [09:18] auntie: yes but in X mode [09:18] back [09:18] okay, in X mode [09:19] Uboy: in X, sudo, and then do the command "passwd" [09:19] Uboy: enter a password for root [09:19] Uboy: and then on the console, login as "root" with that password [09:19] nicofs: what kind of aircard are you using?

[09:21] Does anyone know - Ubuntu on laptops, when you use gnome-power-manager to set it to sleep when the lid is closed (which mine does flawlessly) - is it supposed to wake automatically when I open the lid? because I have to wake it up with a keystroke [09:21] would be nice if it just woke up [09:21] dive-o: Integrated Huawei EM770 with various providers. It did work at some point (albeit a bit at random). it is recocnized as a modem. [09:21] auntie, Uboy: Setting a root password is not supported by this channel. Please do not recommend it to people in here, and please be aware that if you set one, we will not help you with it. [09:22] !noroot [09:22] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [09:22] nicofs: hrm. The ones I've played with show up as a modem, but they don't need anything set to work - could your carrier require a user/password or something perhaps? [09:22] !wfm [09:22] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [09:22] curious here] [09:22] I'm just guessing :) [09:22] Uboy: goodluck! [09:22] !root [09:22] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:22] dive-o: none of my providerss requires that... [09:23] rww so where and what room is for root commads? [09:23] scriptwarlock: u too! [09:23] nicofs: Hm. Not sure then, I'm out of guesses :) sorry [09:23] Uboy: To run commands with root privileges, preface them with "sudo" (for command-line apps) or "gksudo" (for graphical ones). e.g.: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [09:23] Uboy: why would you like to root passwd? [09:24] dive-o: that's what i've been hearing for the part weeks now... :-( [09:24] Compiz edge bindings often just stop working on edges where there are windows, panels or somethign else obscuring the desktop background - thats very annoying - does anyone know this problem and/or can help? [09:24] rww: I used to hate that ubuntu didn't have a root password, and then I realized that on all my machines that do have a root password, it's set to a really long random string that's written down on a piece of paper in a safe, so there's not much point other than when I need it to get single user at console on my BSD machines ;) [09:24] Uboy: installing some important apps? [09:24] ManDay, try #compiz [09:25] scriptwarlock: For use a root commands in console mode, and installing Nvidia Driver [09:25] Uboy: you can use root commands with sudo; there is no need to set a root password [09:25] Uboy: Use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. [09:25] Uboy: yeah the hardware drivers [09:25] scriptwarlock: mr/mrs auntie say me how can I do that [09:26] lol, sorry #ubuntu, didn't mean to break a rule xD [09:26] Uboy: becaue ubuntu provided an easier graphical tool for the hardware to install unless your upto something [09:26] need help with manuall driver install [09:26] Jordan_U no I want to version 256 and another reason is for recommanded version in hardwere driver does't support 3Ds [09:27] auntie: It's OK, operatives are already on the way to your house.

[09:41] ChrisGo, Well, in my computer, with ubuntu, everything works "out of the box" [09:41] vasu: except fakeraid.. [09:41] gaming for one [09:41] ;-[ [09:41] ChrisGo: well.. windows 7 is not worth the tweaking to get that 10% functionality. [09:41] jagadish_: then try the nvidia steps [09:41] ChrisGo, more stuff worked OOTB (Out Of The Box) with Ubuntu than worked with Windows 7 for me [09:42] ChrisGo: you don't game on PCs >:( there's xbox and ps3 for that [09:42] ChrisGo: unless you want a crappy gaming experience [09:42] lol [09:42] case closed [09:42] ChrisGo, consoles are much better for gaming - and way cheaper!! PCs are for other stuff [09:42] scriptwarlock : its greek for me pal that's why i'm here [09:42] ChrisGo, I agree with cherry ,. Use xbox for gaming. [09:42] night [09:42] * willwork4foo has a PS3, Xbox and Wii - I haz gaming [09:43] sorry but you sound like funboys, both Windows and Ubuntu have cons and pros [09:43] jagadish_: ok download the driver [09:43] lol, nice troll-feeding there [09:43] szonek, this is true... Ubuntu is not flawless. But then, neither is Windows. It really depends on what you want out of it [09:43] why would you put the close button in the top left?

[09:44] WXZ1, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [09:44] WXZ1, there are a number of themes you can choose, or you can edit your own. They all have the 3 buttons in various locations [09:44] anyway.. is there something like 'daily iso' for Lucid? [09:44] that's just a stupid default though, most people are right handed [09:44] I even saw one where the buttons were inthe middle [09:44] WXZ1: just switch to one of the buttons-on-the-right themes [09:44] szonek: well yeah.. though I pretty much ignore all the pros because it's closed source system which can throw out logs to my path whenever it wants to. [09:44] and it's a natural motion for your hand to move away from your body [09:44] Jordan_U, Yes, what shall i do now ? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:44] szonek, erm - don't need one, grab it from ubuntu.net and then apply patching [09:44] szonek: that's large enough cons that it negates any gains you would get by using windows. [09:45] WXZ1: we ALL agree it's a stupid default... don't know wtf sabdfl was thinking there.... [09:45] willwork4foo, why so serious ? [09:45] Jordan_U, If , AS i don't have any overlapping partitions, then why must the partitioner not list the ntfs drives ? [09:45] vasu: I'm not sure why parted is complaining so I don't know.

[09:45] ok, good to know I'm not alone === WXZ1 is now known as WXZ [09:45] I am *really* regretting giving Windows 7 50GB of my hard disk in my dual-boot setup [09:45] I don't know anyone personally that thinks changing it was a good idea! [09:45] WXZ, You followed that link ? [09:46] WXZ1, just another reason why . along with PulseAudio that I will be bypassing 10.xx altogether [09:46] yes, I'm going to change it now [09:46] scriptwarlock : Here' the thing i start my machine and edit the bios to use the onboard display and ubuntu runs .. but as soon as i try to use my agp card it starts erring.... [09:46] WXZ, when line command moves it back, why should we complain about it ? ;-) [09:46] zcat[1], I use Ubuntu Netbook edition, so everything is maximised for me and the close button is moved up to the task bar [09:46] Jordan_U, What can i do now ? [09:46] hey [09:46] cellarius_antik, Hi [09:46] how do i talk to the people using my server [09:46] because it's an unecessary step [09:46] cellarius_antik, phone them up? [09:46] can i make my own channel ? [09:46] Cheery: not everyone need open source OS and not for everyone it's important thing [09:46] and not everyone knows about this irc room [09:47] jagadish_: but of course if you use th eagp you should disable the onboard video [09:47] kop_: I'd love to avoid pulseaudio, but the ubuntu developers seem to love it even though it loves to die [09:47] scriptwarlock : so that;s what the problem is ... [09:47] and wtf to tty people keep turning my server on [09:47] vasu: Just as a check, what is the output of "sudo parted /dev/sda print"? [09:47] should i be worried? [09:47] so they'd have to google this, or they might not even think it's possible to move it back [09:47] cellarius_antik, making your own channel on freenode is easy. find a name not in use, and type /join flibblecheeswongadong [09:47] I guess it might be good if I can ever persuade my mum to switch, she currently uses a Mac so it won't be 'the wrong side' for her ;) [09:47] that's a good name that's not in use [09:47] jagadish_: have you installed th edriver? or not yet [09:47] willwork4foo: how can i apply patches? just update system from livecd or what? :) [09:47] Jordan_U, sudo parted /dev/sda print [09:47] but how do i get the users on my system on [09:47] scriptwarlock : edriver..?? [09:47] szonek, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [09:48] OR you could use the GUI update-manager [09:48] szonek: well, I think it's important for anyone who WANTS to keep using computers with reasonable expenses. [09:48] WXZ, No, that's a very famous question about.. We too have a ubottu factoid about it.. Try !controls [09:48] really though - y do tty hosts want my server on??

[09:48] they don't need computing [09:48] : hehehe.. yeh i did the recomended and removed it... [09:48] i thought the whole point of open source was that u rewrote it [09:48] vasu: That's it, nothing else? [09:48] it doesn't help [09:48] open source can be good, but so can proprietary software. [09:49] Jordan_U, nothing else :( in that output [09:49] I think open source is VERY important. It's the best way to weed out bugs in good software IMHO [09:49] willwork4foo: yeah but i have a problem with installing Lucid on fakeraid (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub-installer/+bug/568050) should i boot from livecd, update it and then try to install it?

[09:51] dive-o: in my opinion the open soruce alternatives are often BETTER.. at least as stable and certainly more standard compliant and inter-compatable [09:51] jagadish_: it complains of waht [09:51] Cheery: I'm not saying everything closed source is great, I think most of it is trash, but I also think there are things which aren't equaled in the open source world quite yet [09:51] Cheery, manure? [09:51] this is what I mean when I say I wish it wasn't viewed as black and white - there is a middle ground, and there needs to be. [09:51] python is lots more cow poo?

[10:00] vasu, we saw your question the first two times [10:00] Uboy: why not login to recovery mode [10:00] hi [10:00] dive-o, :( ... [10:00] dive-o: that too. Though there's some things you can quarantee to really prevent good programmers from existing. [10:00] Uboy: You need to login first. Type in your name (which should be visable as you type it) then enter, then your password (which shoule *not* be visable as you type it). [10:01] right upper corner there is a chataccounts icon, entered gtalk and msn but cant open a gtalk window [10:01] dive-o: one thing being restricting access to learning material or forcing them into fixed toolsets. [10:01] Cheery: no doubt. I'm not trying to start an argument at all; just going off my experience that sometimes idealism hurts the idea of getting things done rather than helps (like when I have a user spend all day setting up gentoo rather than using ubuntu) [10:01] Jordan_U, clamtk is not listed even after i enabled universe from software sources [10:01] vasu: Please stop with the "URGENT : PLEASE HELP", just state your question without using all capitals. [10:02] can anyone in here gimme a hand with I2p? it involves the following error : Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! [10:02] Jordan_U: u mean in console mode i type first "root" > enter and then type " (pass)"> enter ? [10:02] hello! [10:02] hihihi100, "Hand given ;-)" [10:02] Uboy: No, your normal user name. Not root. [10:02] Cheery: don't get me wrong, I'm horrified by the amount of money we spend on things like licensing for vmware, but there isn't a single open source product, xen included, that can come close to comparing with esxi in terms of performance, scalability, and ease of management. [10:02] Jordan_U: ok dude, tnx [10:02] I miss vmware server being free :( [10:02] Uboy: You're welcome. [10:03] hallo there i need support any one ... [10:03] !ask | Aogo [10:03] Aogo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:03] okej [10:03] Dr_Willis, HI. can you please know my problem ? [10:03] dive-o: Have you tried Eucalyptus? [10:03] as soon i try to update i get this err mess "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1FFD34C9EB13C954" [10:04] dive-o: yeah. it's not like good open source software just comes out of nowhere. [10:04] how to check and install updates from command line? [10:04] vasu: ive not even seen your problem. [10:04] but it's really worth it's bytes in gold. [10:04] * Dr_Willis just woke up [10:04] Dr_Willis, If i paste that passage again, i will get banned :( [10:04] Cheery: agreed on both points [10:04] Aogo, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1221323.html [10:04] Is there a bultin gtalk in ubuntu or do i have to install it? [10:04] Dr_Willis, please check pm , Once...... [10:04] vasu: you can use clamav without clamtk. [10:05] ions.. IT shows "unallcoated space 74 GB" ....

[10:05] @channels mods, There are enter in that passage.. So the Pm left it :( [10:05] dive-o: you or one guy there.. I really have quite high bias for GPL software. ;) [10:05] Jordan_U: nope, I did some brief reading about it a couple months ago, that's about it. [10:05] Aogo: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1FFD34C9EB13C954 [10:05] Dr_Willis, I sent pm only because the passage is very big.. SORRY [10:05] abhi_nav does it take two accounts eg msn and gtalk? [10:06] vasu: If you want to totally delete the windows partitions, You can do so with fdisk , instead of gparted, or the installer. Theres been issues with the installer not seeing all parittions for some odd reason [10:06] Habbekratz, yes yahoo,gmail,msn, etc etc etc lots of facebooke too etc [10:06] Oh, answered already [10:06] scriptwarlock : yeh man that's the error i get [10:06] Tnx [10:06] abhi_nav problem is when they are both connected i dont know how to switch to the gtalk window [10:06] jagadish_: where? [10:07] Habbekratz, gtalk? it is not gtalk it is only empathy. [10:07] vasu: unallocated space wont show in the places menu. If you want to use teh whole HD for linux. use fdisk, and delete all the partitions, and let the installer auto partition it by telling it to use the 'whole disk' [10:07] scriptwarlock : You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing [10:07] abhi_nav well the account i meant [10:07] jagadish__: trying toinstall the nvidia or ATI drivers? [10:07] Cheery: I absolutely prefer open source (be it BSD, GPL, or something similar) :) [10:07] Habbekratz, switch means? you can enable or disable them. you can know chich contacct in online from which account [10:08] if for no other reason than I can tinker with it all I want and not have to worry about some vendor getting mad at me for adding features or changing something ;) [10:08] Dr_Willis, I want not the xp to be writtenover. [10:08] Dr_Willis, Also, IN the places menu, I get teh list. but not on gparetd or on partitioner.. [10:08] abhi_nav ah ok there was none online from the gtalk account, silly me [10:08] : nvidia 6200 agp [10:08] Habbekratz, :) [10:08] anyway im gonna get back to watching this movie i started an hour ago lol [10:09] !tab | jagadish__ [10:09] jagadish__: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:09] back in a while [10:09] Dr_Willis, other than wipeoutentire harddisk.. There is NO other way to... :( ?? [10:09] abhi_nav : that;s grea [10:09] vasu: You might need to ask in ##windows, the advice I got the other day is that OEM installs are often 'broken' in a way that makes installing anything else impossible.. Make a set of backups and restore DVDs and do a fresi reinstall of Windows, then you may be able to install Ubuntu after that [10:09] vasu: you may want to check the forums. Theres been some issues with the Installer partionier not seeing drives properly. I always partiotion my disks with fdisk befor i even start the Partioner. so i never have had the issue. [10:09] jagadish__, yes [10:09] scriptwarlock : did u get the error [10:09] vasu: you could try a gparted live cd. and see what it sees. and let it resize things how you want. [10:10] Dr_Willis, so i have to get gparted live disk .. Downloading ? is free it ? [10:10] vasu: its free like ubuntu. so yes. === dilo is now known as maemo [10:10] Dr_Willis, ok. [10:10] scriptwarlock, ??? u there [10:10] vasu: theres several gparted type 'rescue' cds out there. Must have tools for any PC tool box. [10:10] jagadish_: yes brings you to graphical isntalltion [10:11] try to run it on xterm [10:11] Dr_Willis, :( . I am at a friend's , actually... i wanted to isntall ubuntu not replacing widnows. but alongside xp. [10:11] jagadish_: try to run it on xterm [10:11] vasu: I doubt that gparted from the gparted LiveCD will be any different than gparted on the Ubuntu LiveCD. [10:11] good bliss Spain to night :) 2:1 [10:11] vasu: so you have resized NTFS from inside Windows but you cannot see that free space in gparted? This is exactly what I was seeing recently too. [10:11] Jordan_U, So what can i do now ? :( [10:11] hi, I'm trying to capture video and audio from the desktop. I'm using xvidcap and I can capture the video quite well, but it crashes unless I disable audio recording. The reason is it uses /dev/dsp by default. What should I change /dev/dsp to? I believe I'm using ALSA but i'm not sure. [10:11] zcat[1], No, wrong. [10:12] jagadish_: logout and login as xterm but remember where the file lies [10:12] zcat[1], the gprated as well as parititioenr does not list the ntfs drives.. [10:12] then what? [10:12] Hi, What protocol is used to pass multicast traffic across external network domains to specific hosts? [10:12] Aogo I hope it will bliss him and not bless; go go Holland! [10:12] Jordan_U, what way do i have now ? [10:12] Well that's one step worse than what I was seeing === maemo is now known as dilo_ [10:12] coolguy4: This may be helpfull: http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/blog/?p=175 [10:13] zcat[1], :'( [10:13] cheers! [10:13] vasu: is there more than one drive? are you sure gparted is looking at the correct one? [10:13] hello [10:13] vasu: I don't know, I would wait for an anser in #parted (again, it may be many hours, but if you get an answer there it will probably be a good one). [10:14] Frizi :) no go Spain [10:15] zcat[1], i have only one harddisk. it shows 74 gb unallocated space [10:15] Jordan_U, Ok :( [10:15] bliss lool that how i say it Jamaican eng ....

Unless you want to be sure the users have the same UID/GID on both machines.. that will make it a little harder. [10:55] erUSUL, i am trying to install nvidia drivers and that's the issue ... i ran the command u gave me but it says its updated [10:55] jimcooncat: maybe --> gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/orientation "top" [10:56] thanks erUSUL. Bit hung over, might take me a while to figure that one out. But when I do maybe I'd be able to script it [10:56] erUSUL: great! then I'd have to killall gnome-panel? [10:56] jimcooncat: check that it is actually of type string in the editor etc === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [10:56] sure [10:56] the UID doesnt matter, its just a secondary account for my mother, she keeps switching over to debian because of her favorites, and she cant do that if i am going to do backups, because she just flips the switch on the back to make it reboot as fast as possible. [10:56] jimcooncat: yep [10:57] CkhiKuzad: the Firefox directory is easy to copy over to other users names/accounts. i do that allthe time to keep my identical ff setup of extensions and bookmarks. [10:57] erUSUL, is there any thing wrong with my ubuntu install [10:57] erUSUL: saves the day! Give me something to play with for a while anyway [10:58] CkhiKuzad: there are extensions to keep her favorites 'online' so any firefox she uses can have access to them [10:58] jagadish: dunno; really. what's the exact error messages you get ? pastebin [10:58] jagadish: no problem good luck ;P [10:58] jimcooncat: no problem good luck ;P [10:58] meh, i will just copy them over. its funny, i am 16 and i have more computer skills than every person in this town. [10:58] * erUSUL should use more then on letter for tab completion [10:58] CkhiKuzad: I have computers older then you. ;) [10:59] CkhiKuzad: I have computers older then you times 2 actually :) [10:59] Dr_Willis, i am on a computer that was made when i was 6 [10:59] I dont recall when my Vic20 or TimexSinclare was made. [10:59] and i have kept it running for all this time ^^ [11:00] if this laptop gets much worse, I'll be moving to a computer from 1991 :( [11:00] Is the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid pretty "stable" and "reliable"? [11:01] jagadish_: i may suggest if built-in video is working for you then maybe stick to it... [11:01] bazhang: yeah i was happy having xterm as default and running 'ratpoison' but then i went into the gnome GUI to do something and even though xterm was the default it boots into gnome automatically now! [11:01] does any one faced the prob of kernel not found... while installing nvidia drivers..?? [11:02] loquitus: AS far as I know, it is. But a clean install is always better, :) [11:02] jagadish_123: installing the headers should have "fixed" it [11:02] jagadish_123: make sure you have built-essentials too [11:02] erUSUL, linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic is already the newest version. [11:02] linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic set to manually installed. [11:02] yeah, I had a few problems since my machine's been upgraded since I want to say 5.04 [11:03] jagadish_123, there is a more recent kernel than that [11:03] airtonix, how do i get it [11:03] jagadish_123, apt-get ? [11:03] Good day, have a problem with ubuntu installetion, could some one help?? [11:04] !ask [11:04] 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).

[11:08] since today the mobile internet is not connecting anymore on ubuntu, i tried on windows and it works. is it possible the provider shut me off (too much download or anything) and used my ubuntu details for that. any idea would really help thank you [11:09] jagadish_123, you might like to educate yourself on the use of apt-get, apt-cache, synaptics and dpkg [11:10] airtonix, i was just looking to install the nvidia drivers .. . [11:10] airtonix, then i had to stop the gdu.. then manually run the installer and guess what it gave me a error.... [11:11] jagadish_123: System>Admin...>Hardware drivers did not worked for you ? that's why you are installing frm nvidia's *.run file ? [11:11] jagadish_123, why are you manually installing nvidia drivers ? use a ppa dear god. [11:11] airtonix, yeh.. [11:11] airtonix, i have a old agp card...

I think it would be silly to boot into GDM just for it to automatically close GDM [11:20] jimmy_: then disable gdm. use 'startx' and make a .xinitrc to do what you want. or it may be .Xsession now a days [11:20] how install I bluefish 2.0 ? I have Ubuntu 10.04 [11:20] hey,everyone, i got a problem, i want to learn c++,but i know nothing about it, where should i begin with, is there anyone can introduce some good website for someone like me to begin with ?

[11:22] erUSUL: I don't need to run it every time, just after her daughter uses her machine :-) [11:22] jimcooncat: ok [11:22] Dr_Willis: is the .dmrc just in ~/ ? [11:22] ok no heko at all [11:22] she goes a little wild with the mouse [11:22] no help at all [11:23] Dr_Willis: got it [11:23] jimmy_: yes. [11:23] My G3 modem doesn't connect anymore on Ubuntu. It works on windows. What can be the problem, I didn't change any settings. The connectiosn are there just the connection will not estasblish. [11:23] jimmy_: if you want TOTAL controll you go the .xinitc or .Xsession route [11:24] Dr_Willis: i have 'exec ratpoison' in my .xinitrc, which is what i would like to happen, but it doesn't seem to do anything [11:24] jimmy_: try ratpoison-session [11:24] or how to edit menus to add an item? some editor without having to use drag-and-drop? [11:25] jimmy_: it may bne using .Xsession by default. also make .xinitrc run a xterm or 2, THEn 'exec windowmanageryouwant' [11:25] jimcooncat: and be sure to read the ratpoision docs. [11:25] jimcooncat: right click on the menu. choose edit [11:25] guys realy need help [11:25] ubuntu not loading [11:26] Dr_Willis: I will get into ratpoison soon, it's a really nice tool [11:26] oh, that was for jimmy_ [11:27] if a site uses *.cdn.[site] type domains, if i block one of its letters in my HOSTS file, will that site still work?

[11:30] CkhiKuzad: you may want to use some other methods. like 'noscript' for disabling of javascript on sites. [11:30] DiGaTTo, has your computer ever worked? if so, what caused it to stop working; what have you tried, what error messages have you gotten [11:31] its just the javascript on that one cdn. if i block it, then i lose the function of that javascript. noscript is horrible on my computer. [11:31] they worked fine with xp just wanted to change OS [11:31] no errors at all [11:31] if i block the javascript, i lose that JS, but if i block the entire w.cdn, then i get the javascript from s.cdn [11:32] DiGaTTo, so the ubuntu install has never worked then [11:32] question: over my wifi connection ping, ftp, wget work, ftp works in firefox, http doesn't work in firefox. apt-get times out. wtf?

[11:40] is there a frugal install for ubuntu [11:40] Dr_Willis: i just did that [11:40] rxd: you can setup a Live-cd type install with a persistant save file to a flash drive. or use Grub2 to boot an iso. [11:41] whats the diff between the ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server kernel [11:41] Dr_Willis: same story [11:41] shafiei: i mean 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try reinstalling the package. [11:41] shafiei: if the package seems to be broken. check the bug reports. there may be some issue with it. [11:41] DrManhattan: server kernel is for more than 4gb of ram [11:41] that's IT?

[11:43] Dr_Willis, why? [11:43] DrManhattan: 5-10% speed gain when doing CPU intensive tasks for one reason [11:43] DrManhattan: easier to have all the box's on the lan do 64bit when using apt-cacher-ng also [11:44] Only 32bit box i got is my netbook [11:44] Dr_Willis: does it take much more RAM usage that way? [11:44] jimcooncat: Not that ive ever seen. [11:44] Dr_Willis: so its grub2 only and booting an iso file...it cannot be done by just parameters like puppy there are parameters u set like pmedia and psubdir [11:44] Anyone up for chat?

I didn't change settings nor apt-get-upgrade [11:49] I need a secure file deletion app .. Is that in ubuntu software center ? [11:49] Archana: several exist for linux. You may need to use the synaptic package manager tool. Software center may not list all avail apps. [11:49] Archana: many of the tools may be command line only also. [11:50] I need an alternative to "Suredelete" this : http://tinyurl.com/2c3sctc [11:50] maybe dd?

[11:53] trooperi I have tried sudo, sudo nano , don't know bash commands. still new to this OS [11:53] I've only seen them for windows [11:53] Is there a ccleaner alternative ? Dr_Willis philinux KenBW2-laptop .. [11:54] How is 'Suspend' supposed to execute itself in Lucid Lynx, and then what is the function to bring the computer out of 'Suspend'? [11:54] you dont NEED ccleaner in linux [11:54] Archana: no idea what cccleaner even does. [11:54] DrManhattan, Why is there no need ? [11:54] there's no registry and to the best of my knowledge, no spyware/virii [11:54] Dr_Willis, you have never used windows ? [11:54] especially since it won't generally work [11:54] !info bleachbit [11:54] bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system. In component universe, is optional.

I never use the feature i have a 'guest session' entry here. [12:04] raidgh0st: can you open termina;l [12:04] Archana: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp#Install Lubuntu from Ubuntu or any Ubuntu flavors [12:04] KenBW2-laptop: yes. [12:05] monkey_dust: if you just installed that package. you may need to restart GDM/log out/back in for it to get seen [12:05] raidgh0st: $ sudo lshw -C network [12:05] MaRk-I, philinux is it possible to uninstall L-ubuntu after at a later time ? [12:05] raidgh0st: paste the output to www.nomorepasting.com [12:05] Archana: I havent tried to uninstall, so I cant tell you for sure [12:06] MaRk-I, Okay../ [12:06] Archana, I read that there are some issues with lubuntu wich I dont remember now. but issue if you want to remvoe lubuntu after. you can get more info in #lubuntu [12:07] KenBW2-laptop: http://erikandre.no/ubuntu-wireless.txt [12:07] hi friends i was trying to get the sound working in my son vaio laptop from yesterday and as there was lots of config changes i formatted my system again and made a clean copy of the OS. but still i have the same issue with the sound can someone help me to fix it. [12:08] Archana: yes, lubuntu-desktop [12:08] !intelhda | manoj [12:08] manoj: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [12:09] manoj: you should try those instructions on intelhda page first [12:09] raidgh0st: did you find the model of the laptop? [12:09] the cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec command says that my codec in Realtek [12:09] is it possible [12:10] manoj: according to alsa yes, so try that workaround ubottu linked === Nwab is now known as Benwa [12:10] hmmm trying it [12:10] KenBW2-laptop: i am working on it [12:11] raidgh0st: lol, isnt there a sticker underneath it? === kjelle_ is now known as sjefskode [12:12] KenBW2-laptop: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dinside.no%2F281038%2Fcybercom-md95625&sl=no&tl=en [12:13] ping [12:13] incelude [12:13] that laptop is a hunk of feces [12:13] hi [12:14] very nice analysis there DrManhattan [12:14] sorry [12:14] that laptop is "not worth buying" [12:14] better?

Halp. [12:20] jose: paste output of df -h command [12:21] jose: see topic where to paste [12:21] jose: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace [12:21] jose: i would fsck the filesystem « sudo touch /forcefsck » reboot [12:22] or its saying his windows drive is running out of space.. :) or his flash drive.. [12:22] i can't paste df -h output here? [12:22] paste.ubuntu.com jose [12:23] hey guys, i have a netbook computer, without a cdrom drive [12:23] how do i install linux on it? [12:23] jose: what does it say a bout the / file system [12:23] unetbootin from flash key banisterfiend [12:24] KenBW2-laptop: i try to find the info you asked for [12:24] bazhang: any clear info on how to do this for a noob? [12:24] why does piping this output to : grep ^\. not show only the files starting with . ? [12:24] http://pastebin.com/u6jCEBfy [12:24] banisterfiend, what os do you have now === jay is now known as Guest49201 [12:25] it says it only has a few mb left, the warning does, i'm trying to paste the df thing [12:26] unetbootin from the repos or if windows, unetbootin.sourceforge.net banisterfiend [12:26] !unetbooting > banisterfiend [12:26] I think I have problem with nvidia 6150SE it does not work with ubuntu could some one help how to solve this problem [12:26] jose: check that link i gave you === Guest49201 is now known as jaymx [12:26] wth... [12:26] KenBW2-laptop: Was away for dinner [12:26] system holds on boot screen with stripes [12:26] bazhang: sorry im on windows 7 [12:26] MaRk-I, unetbootin no g [12:26] philinux: there is no way that apt cache used 200GB [12:26] banisterfiend, there is a windows version to at the link I just gave you [12:27] bazhang: ty [12:27] bazhang: thanks ill check it [12:27] ohir: if / partition not big enough that will cause the error [12:27] aeiou_: . is a special char in regex [12:28] aeiou_: you have to escape it --> grep '^\.' [12:28] erUSUL, eh? [12:28] <[FB]Chris> hi, where is the equivalent of /etc/inittab in 10.04? it seems to have disappeared [12:28] " why does piping this output to : grep ^\." [12:28] !runlevels | [FB]Chris [12:28] as you can see, im already escaping it [12:28] [FB]Chris: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [12:28] guys, ive got a VPS that im trying to use as a game server but it seems ive over estimated the number of games that have dedicated server versions or even support linux. can anyone recommend a few server games that i can run in linux? [12:28] minus Counter Strike [12:29] aeiou_: ouch [12:29] hola [12:29] !es | wendal_ [12:29] wendal_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [12:29] <[FB]Chris> erUSUL: okay, so is there a guide on disabling TTYs on 10.04? [12:29] erUSUL, any other ideas? [12:29] ohir: here's mine as an example "/dev/sda1 12G 4.4G 6.1G 42% /" [12:29] He encontrado ubuntu en formato DVD. Qué diferencias tiene con la versión cd? [12:29] aeiou_: you forget to quote your re [12:29] [FB]Chris: i just do « sudo mv /etc/init/tty?.conf /etc/init/tty?.conf.disabled » where ? is the numbers [12:30] aeiou_: '^\.' [12:30] <[FB]Chris> erUSUL: that's awesome, thanks [12:30] aeiou_: appart from saying. do not parse ls output and it works here with no ls output ? [12:30] philinux: thats whe I asked for df [12:30] ohir, oh i see! '^\.' works and so does ^\\. [12:30] looks like i needed to escape the escape [12:31] I got this error (https://gist.github.com/6f72464edc9710840ccb) when trying to install some packages, and now everything complains about a full disk. However, /bin/df says that only 64% of the disk is used. Any ideas? [12:31] aeiou_: yes. Either you use ' ' quote or need to quote with \ any special shell char [12:31] ohir: I think it wont paste in here unless you put "" around anything starting "/" it thinks it's a irc command [12:31] I can't even `echo foo > bar`. [12:31] thanks all [12:32] I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition if that helps. [12:32] philinux: he oughta use ubuntu.pastebin.com ie [12:32] ohir: jose has departed [12:32] Dvyjones: do you have more than one partition? could /var be full despite / being happy? [12:32] Dvyjones: fsck the partition [12:33] shauno: Nope. This is fstab and mtab: https://gist.github.com/f56eac9ed6d9cdcebb9c [12:33] erUSUL: Can I do that on a mounted partition? [12:33] philinux: might be he read what df said [12:33] Dvyjones: that looks like a virtual machine. can you check available disk space on the host machine? [12:34] Dvyjones: nope; « sudo touch /forcefsck » reboot the machine [12:34] erUSUL: I'd really prefer not to reboot, if that's possible. [12:34] shauno: It's a linode. [12:35] Dvyjones: what df -h says about your /var and /usr? [12:35] none 250M 56K 250M 1% /var/run [12:35] none 250M 0 250M 0% /var/lock [12:35] ohir: without scrolling back I think he said "/" only had a few mb left [12:35] anyone know any driving\racing games that i can run on as a dedicated game server? [12:35] Dvyjones: so a VM ... then maybe corrupt filesystem is not the issue ... consult their support? [12:35] / has 5.5G left. [12:35] philinux: ok. [12:36] df -h output: https://gist.github.com/e93c21dc094ac33fd215 [12:36] Dvyjones: I'd be tempted to ping their support. if they set virtual disks up as 'sparse files', they'll grow to meet demand. if they exhaust their disk space before you've grown to your extents, someone has to lose [12:36] shauno: I'll ping them, then. [12:36] Thanks for the help :) [12:37] Internet Radio plugin for rhythmbox doesn't load shoutcast channel [12:37] Dvyjones: your /var (esp /var/tmp if you has separate) [12:37] vlc plays shoutcast radio, I think [12:37] someone knows the reason? [12:37] ohir: I don't have any separate partitions except /proc, /sys and the like. [12:37] oops I guess not [12:38] Dvyjones: ah, I see. its vm setup. So your vm provider may run out of space, not you :) [12:38] mmm... now I'm using 10.04, no issues with 9.10 [12:38] Dvyjones: the only other thing I can think of that would cause that, is that there's a limit to how many files can actually exist. if you've had something 'explode' and create millions of empty files, you can exhaust that limit before you run out of actual space to house them [12:39] all the other radiostation are correctly loaded [12:39] ola [12:40] shauno: the error would be too many file descriptors open or some such [12:40] any idea about playing bluray iso from hdd? [12:40] erUSUL: that isn't just having too many actually open? I haven't hit either limit, I just know it exists :) [12:41] yajohny: tried maplyer and vlc ? [12:41] erUSUL: yes, but dont work [12:42] mount the iso then play it with vlc [12:42] i have mount iso, but vlc cant play [12:44] Desktop cube does not show a cube. but a cylinder. How do i make it a cube ? [12:44] vlc file.iso plays mine here [12:44] df -i says that I'm out of inodes, so I think I have too many files. [12:45] Archana: at a guess, I'd presume you only have one 'virtual desktop' in Workspace Switcher, so it's trying to wrap that one into a 3d form. you should be able to add more in switcher's preferences [12:45] KenBW2-laptop: Can i PM You? [12:46] shauno, I actually deleted the default switcher. And now i added it again .. But right clicking on it, does not show "preferences" ?? [12:46] Archana: my mistake, apparently it's changed since I last looked. "when Compiz is enabled, you change the number of desktops from within the advanced management console, under the General section" [12:46] Archana: Effect>cube reflection and deformation > deformation set to none [12:46] (I don't actually use it, just seems like a sane reason for a cylinder) [12:47] yajohny: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1209981 read the last post [12:50] philinux, there is no "preferences" on workspace switcher :( === OerHeks is now known as Oer [12:50] right click on teh workspace switcher here. I got a preferacnes as the first menu item [12:50] Archana: you need compizconfig-settingsmanager installed [12:50] philinux, it is already installed. [12:51] Archana: look in the Effects section [12:51] used to be ages ago you jhad to use the compiz tools to set the workspaces #. but now a days the gnome workspace switcher also works to set the # of them [12:51] philinux, No, I disabled the cylinder . [12:51] you can also set shadows in gconf for all windows for compiz which then can be changed under the window decoration plugin [12:52] philinux, but now, it's not the cube.. But like a pyramid.... because i have three workspaces.. I want to add one more workspace. But right clicking on switcher does not show "preferences" [12:52] Archana, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [12:52] Dr_Willis, I don't get it :( [12:52] .join #ratpoison [12:52] Archana, it is much easier [12:52] coz_, I already have it. [12:52] CCSM tool -> general tab -> gernal options also has settings for it [12:53] Archana: Under General>General option. Desktop size [12:53] Archana, ok open ccsm go to general options / general desktop size tab [12:53] either way should work [12:53] http://hardware4linux.info/system/1005/ [12:53] Is information aboute my laptop [12:53] Archana, set horizontal virtual size to change the number of workspaces [12:53] Archana, the other 2 settings remain with #1 [12:54] coz_, Thanks . Got it. [12:54] and I actually prefer the triangel :) [12:54] triangle [12:54] coz_, I actually was trying to pull the "number of desktop" :P .. [12:54] why does netbeans, for C# dont have "Target GTK# version: " its empty, when creating new C# solution? [12:54] I got a Pentagon :) [12:54] Archana, in compiz there is only "one" desktop [12:54] coz_, ok. Now it's a cube.. [12:54] hello is this a geometry channel? [12:55] Archana, now if you use desktop wall instead of desktop cube then under the Desktop size tab the other slider would be enabled [12:55] harharhar [12:55] coz_, Dr_Willis , philinux other than Compiz, is there any visual effects ? [12:55] Archana, many !!! yes [12:55] Archana, did you also install the experimental plugins? [12:55] coz_, No. How to ? Want to. [12:56] Cube Reflection and Deformatuion - i think enavbles the cylinder cube feature [12:56] Archana, download this script http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/soreaus_script === raven is now known as Guest37658 [12:56] Archana, right click it go to properties then permissions tab and tick the executable box [12:57] Dr_Willis, yes, I disbaled that.. And cylinder turned to a cube.. :) [12:57] Archana, then open a terminal cd to its location ./soreau's script [12:57] http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2301/tmpqmjlx7.png [12:57] ups [12:57] Archana, then say "Y" to add the dependecies and when it comes time it will as what to install just type the lower case letter a [12:57] hi there. i installed conky but whenever i start the pc, i have the conky infos over the other apps, like this http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2301/tmpqmjlx7.png [12:58] i have to open .conkyrc and save it again to have the infos normally on wallpaper [12:58] coz_, Wait, the lubuntu-desktop is going to finish installing. [12:58] Paulecas: when i last used conky. I had to make a script that waited like 20 sec.. then started conky. and had gnome autostart that script [12:59] Archana, ok no problem [12:59] why does netbeans, for C# dont have "Target GTK# version: " its empty, when creating new C# solution? [12:59] Paulecas: tjhat way gnome was set up and going and conky dident confuse thingz [12:59] Dr_Willis, ok, i'll try that [12:59] Archana, when that is done and you have installed the experimental plugins I can...if you want... upload my settings and you can go from there [12:59] hi [13:00] melroy: low [13:00] I got a problem with my MSI 770-C45 and RAID 1 setup. [13:00] coz_, i am installing the script [13:00] Archana, ok cool [13:01] Archana, let it install all of the dependencies as I said...then you will see when its time to type the lower case letter a which will install all of the plugins [13:01] It says: The ext4 file system screation in partition #1 of Serial ATA Raid pdc_bdchgjfgdc (mirror) failed. [13:01] coz_, ok. From which site/blog you got this script..?? or you made that ?

[13:10] dizital: how did you configure it ? [13:11] Hello, I have setup RAID via bios & Raid 1 mirror setup on my 770-C45 [13:11] and still gon an error on failed to create a file system [13:11] melroy: ok, so you're using a technology called fake raid [13:11] ah ok [13:11] i need help [13:11] ikonia: during the installation both cards showed up and i just picked the eth0 for dhcp and i was going to use eth1 for my internal network connected to a switch [13:11] melroy: fakeraid has very poor support in Linux, and in my opinion personally, it's a bad technology in general [13:12] !fakeraid > melroy [13:12] melroy, please see my private message [13:12] dizital: what make/model is the pci card that's not being seen [13:12] nobody has gotton one of these mice yet? [13:12] Ok so my motherbord support only software raid you think? [13:12] fake raid seems to be the software modem of the 2000's [13:12] melroy: it's fake raid, not software raid [13:12] I NEED HELP [13:12] karan: lay it down [13:12] and also not hardware raid e:P [13:12] karan: ask a question then instead of saying I need help [13:13] i hve 10.10 installed on my desktop [13:13] melroy: certainly not hardware raid [13:13] So it's not software nor hardware raid ok [13:13] karan: 10.10 is not supported in this channel [13:13] how can i put the same in my netbook [13:13] fine.. [13:13] karan: #ubuntu+1 for ubuntu 10.10 discussion [13:14] What would cause a mouse to screw freeze up KDM and GDM as you use it? simple things like switching between applications fail [13:14] ikonia: how do you know for use it's not hardware raid or software raid [13:14] sure* [13:14] melroy: because a.) you said the make/model b.) home motherboards do not come with hardware raid [13:14] ikonia: Intel Corp. 82541pi Gigabit ethernet controller [13:14] ikonia ok thx :) [13:14] dizital: can you pastebin the output of "sudo ifconfig -a" please [13:15] can anyone help me? Question stated twice above ^ [13:16] ikonia: You know if fakeraid can work anyway with my model? Please say yes .. :( [13:17] melroy: read the pm ubottu sent you. Fakeraid in general on linux is very poor. In my personal opinion fakeraid is a bad technology totally. [13:17] noob^3: works :) but it is slideshow :) [13:17] Ok thanks for your support, I really appreciate it [13:18] ikonia: I think they still work fine as a straight disk controller tho? so something like LVM would be a valid alternative? [13:18] Nobody on the mouse problem? [13:18] i hve a 10.04 cd with me..how to make an iso of dat on pendrive [13:18] ikonia: did u recieve my pm? [13:18] shauno: they work fine as straight disk controllers, not sure why you'd use lvm though [13:19] dizital: no [13:19] dizital: please talk in the channel [13:19] karan: unetbootin [13:19] dizital: if eth1 shows up with no address, it means it's not configured [13:19] karan: you can use unetbootin or startup disk creator [13:19] dizital: you need to configure the card to have an ip address or use dhcp [13:19] dizital: so the good news is, the card is recognised and working, and just needs configuring [13:20] ikonia: I'm on 2 different machines, when i type that command in, it showed the eth0 and eth1 but eth1 did not have any address [13:20] dizital: read what I said to you [13:21] ikonia: I was typing when u must have sent that [13:21] karan: but first you must rip it with brasero [13:21] dizital: type "/last ikonia" or /last dizital" as I used your name [13:22] ikonia: what does that do? [13:22] ikonia:i type it and it did nothing [13:22] dizital: configure the network card [13:22] dizital: you typed what ? [13:24] pinoyskull: gud evening [13:24] when i type it in on the other computer it just said -bash: /last ni such file or directory [13:24] my other machine is called nurv [13:24] so i type in /last nurv [13:24] dizital: no, in the irc window you type that in so you can see what I said to you [13:25] scriptwarlock, yo, gud evening to you too [13:25] pinoyskull: hows our place?

[13:59] ACameron: ok, so change the name 7.10 to 10.04. as the kernel is correct, [13:59] ikonia: You seem to be missing the point...

[14:14] did you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10 then 10.04? [14:14] ACameron: 7.10 translates to october 2007. that's the clue [14:14] MaRk-I: No, I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 [14:14] ACameron: one moment [14:14] MaRk-I: I don't remember exactly what my upgrade path was before 9.10.

It works great [14:39] I use Rhythmbox [14:39] nhck: PSP is like a slightly less advanced PS that you pay $100 for [14:39] or...you can use SMPlayer [14:39] I through that Paint Shop Pro have very options than Gimp, nhck [14:39] bhalash: there is an extension for gimp to change that. [14:39] bhalash, how did you set up mpd --is there a howto somewhere? [14:39] SMPlayer is a very good front end for mplayer [14:39] Personally am an Adobe Photoshop user..so this kinda keeps from using ubuntu in production :-) [14:39] nhck: Gimpshop? Eh. I'm gonna wait on 2.7 [14:40] exaile is also very good music player [14:40] Hello, why i have alert "ubuntu is running in low resolution" on startup? When i select "restart x server" all works but without mouse - i have ubuntu 10.04 [14:40] nhck, bhalash: using gimpshop makes it say you cant follow tutorials anymore though as everything's moved. also you need an old outdated version of gimp [14:40] listen is also good [14:40] nhck: Yeah, I use it professionally. My gripes with the Gimp boil down to how it handles utility dialogs rather than the whole thing [14:40] cement_head, can you browse visually (cover art) with rhythmbox? [14:40] glib: Yeah. I've been messing with it. Let me throw you a howto from my blog [14:40] http://www.listen-project.org/ [14:40] cool [14:40] THe Gimp install on Ubuntu now [14:41] cement_head, thanks [14:41] Yes, you can, you need to install some plugins: http://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/ThirdParty [14:41] IMetaphysikz_: why are you using cifs on that? [14:41] Listen has been in active development and is coming along nicely [14:42] erkan^: it has separate toolbox windows, just like photoshop on a mac does, but the menus and such are less confusing (IMO) than photoshop and overall about the same complexity level as PSP [14:42] glib: http://bit.ly/d2aicf [14:42] what is IMO, maco? [14:43] erkan^: in my opinion [14:43] ok [14:43] Listen PPA: https://launchpad.net/~listen-devel/+archive/ppa [14:43] i have some 2.5gb unallocated space got by deleting a logical partition, the os is installed on sda1 which is ext4 and i guess its primary too. so now i am on a live cd, looking to grow the primary ext4 partition to take over the unallocated space. === STiK is now known as BDsLoveGoat [14:43] nhck: I don't really know I've just seen examples where people have been using cifs and information saying about another command that's depricated [14:43] can i do that with gparted? [14:43] erkan^: im heading offline now [14:44] ok see you laters maco (Y) [14:44] not seeing any "grow" option for ext4 and resize cannot grow more than its size [14:44] I use GParted LiveCD for that type of adjustment [14:44] IMetaphysikz_: hmm I was just guessing since you are mounting from windows you could also use smbfs? [14:45] cement_head: i have gparted installed on this live cd [14:45] IMetaphysikz_: would of course require samba , sambafs to beinstalled [14:46] !smbfs | IMetaphysikz_ [14:46] also i see on "information" that grow is supported for ext4 just that i don't know where the option for "grow" is on gparted..

[14:50] hi [14:50] gelan: i don't have any other partitions on the disc than swap and unallocated space.. i just deleted the swap too, now i can see that i can delete the whole extended partition (which is now full of free space) [14:50] !fstab | grimobile [14:50] grimobile: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [14:50] gelan: i should just continue and delete the extended and then grow ext4 right? [14:50] melroy, I think you should have used a partition having ext4 and then used that for raid. [14:50] !ask | manoj [14:50] manoj: 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. :-) [14:50] i have installed ubuntu and now i do not have connection to the internet [14:50] i have problems with sound with my sony vaio laptop. so i reinstalled it once again today and configured my sound but still i am not getting the sound [14:51] gelan: so first manual then config. software raid? [14:51] but when i have installed fedora the connection has come back [14:51] and i want to install ubuntu now [14:51] wonderboy, right. swap can always be recreated later. So just delete it and extended and grow the primary. Just keep extended in mind for later use. [14:51] if you have any solution [14:51] i upgraded alsa to the latest drivers too with the help of a tutor online [14:51] please [14:52] manoj maybe you need a specific kernel module for the vaio, if you do a lspci can you find your sound card in the listing ? [14:52] melroy, i would have gone that way. First partition manually however u want and then set up raid. [14:52] !enter | yusef-fathi [14:52] yusef-fathi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:52] gelan: in that case I need to config. LVM too [14:53] yusef-fathi: there are lots of issues, and lots of causes. So the channel would need details like hardware info, and everything you tried so far. [14:53] melroy, lvm is on top of raid right? [14:53] gelan: I hope so >< [14:53] yusef-fathi: besides that, if you're at Fedora at this moment, it would be hard to help you out [14:54] no [14:54] i am in windows now [14:54] but i want to install ubuntu now [14:55] yusef-fathi: if you want us to help with ubuntu, better first install ubuntu [14:55] Is it possible to do network installation from shared hosting server instad of server on my LAN? If so how would I do this? [14:55] !sound > yusef-fathi [14:55] yusef-fathi, please see my private message [14:55] but i do not have any connection with ubuntu [14:55] gelan: uhm i think not [14:55] yusef fathi: download the cd, burn it and follow the instructions ! [14:55] yusef-fathi: Have you tried enabling it with NetworkManager? [14:56] to upload packages to my ppa I need dput, I use lucid lynx, and I can't find a way to install dput [14:56] yeah [14:56] gelan: that was a good test for gparted:) deleted the swap left in extended partition, to make it full of unallocated space, then deleted the whole extended partition and then allowed ext4 to grow fully, but after that i remembered of swap. so i shrink the partition and took a 1gb space and created swap there:) now on to restart:) [14:56] gelan: because i can select: how to use this partion, physical volume for RAID or .. for LVM [14:56] see you in a moment. [14:57] I'm trying to burn a Video DVD disk yet Brasero claims it needs a plugin that can't be found on synaptic [14:57] melroy, I was thinking of setting up raid first. Get that to work and use those md0, md1 devices for setting up lvm. [14:57] hi [14:57] (mplex) anyone had this issue? [14:57] !Medibuntu | DarkStar1 [14:57] still no joy with mounting :( - I can get the mount graphically but i'm eventually going to write a bash script to cron tar's the windows share [14:57] DarkStar1: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:57] i will install ubuntu now [14:58] i will try it again [14:58] bye [14:58] DarkStar1, also install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:59] BluesKaj: How do I find that?? [14:59] DarkStar1, in the package manager [14:59] BluesKaj: nvm.. stupid question [15:00] BluesKaj: Thanks, I'll look into medibuntu now [15:00] Does anyone know if search.mod gets called by the embedded core.img in grub2 during a normal ubuntu desktop install? [15:00] DarkStar1, also enable the canonical partner and third party sources in the package manager [15:00] I'm trying to install ubuntu iso image from the mitmedia labs mirror. My goal is to install it without ever having to download it. Is it possible to boot off of that location [15:01] Why when i log in to FTP with a un/pw does it say 'Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply' ? [15:01] LinuxPhreak proberly not. [15:01] LinuxPhreak: you could set up a netboot thing. but i dont think that would work from some arbitary site/server [15:02] Dr. Willis how about if I had access to shared hosting account. My client needs it to be public [15:02] LinuxPhreak: to 'netboot' you need a very specific kind of server/setup [15:03] BluesKaj: can't find the option to enable 3rd party sources atm but will keep looking [15:03] I was afraid it wasn't possible. I know about netbooting on LAN. And wasn't sure if it was possible to setup the same thing on shared plan [15:03] Darkstar: sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list [15:03] LinuxPhreak: ive seen some disrtos in the past that could do it.. but they had special servers to handle it [15:04] gelan: so, to be complete: You just install 1 partion (ext4) and let it first work using RAID, after that configure VLM, so you can create a swap partition [15:05] Dr_Willis: is it still called netboot if it is public like that? Maybe I can do some research [15:06] DarkStar1, sorry I should have typed "other sources" [15:06] How do you install dput? [15:07] I have to use it for uploading to a ppa, but it is not installed although I'm using lucid [15:08] bbl [15:08] bbl? [15:08] sudo apt-get install dput , Kruptein ? [15:08] abhi_nav: yes ofcourse I tried that, but it said there was no candidate [15:08] Kruptein: be back later [15:08] ah sorrr :p thought you answered me, nevermind [15:08] LinuxPhreak: i seem torecall some disrto ages ago that had a option where you entered some username/pass and it booted the kernle and a minimal system from cd, then got the rest from the internet. I forget what disrto it even was [15:08] melroy, it need not be just 1. could be more but on multiple devices. [15:08] sudo aptitude install dput , Kruptein ?

[15:14] Lucid Lynx [15:15] Kruptein: So, 10.04, same here. dput should be installed by default (though the other commands i suggested should work too) Are you sure there is no /usr/bin/dput?

[15:15] then i switched to an ipod and used gpodder,, i was actually much happier then, [15:15] I don't know how that happened :f but thanks anyway [15:15] When connecting my laptop to my Sharp TV via HDMI my TV does not recognise my laptop although Ubuntu recognises the tv in the "monitors" app. Any ideas?

[15:16] Kruptein: glad to be of some help [15:16] hi all [15:16] how is everyone up in here [15:16] so anyone have any feedback on their experience of going from gpodder and ipod to android and google listen?

[15:20] manoj: thas nice [15:21] no mark it was not vaio. but i learnt a lot before i could get this thing fixed [15:21] i got a question, i got my gui to work on ubuntu server but when i goto system-preferences, and administration, i do not have network manager?? [15:22] manoj: well, got it fixed and learned extra stuff, not bad congrats [15:22] dizital: you mean preferences > network connections ? [15:23] yeah each time i install a distro of linux i xome across something or the other and alas i get help from ppl and learn few things on my own and get it solved [15:23] hey I'm still having trouble with ppa's, I've made a .deb file for my project, how can I upload this to the ppa? [15:23] oCean: yea, [15:23] last time when i played with backtrack i had problems with lan setting and then i got it fixed again === FrankLv_ is now known as FrankLv [15:24] I am having trouble with mencoder... when ripping a DVD with subtitles as soon as it displays a subtitle every 3 frame is black... can anyone help? [15:25] Kruptein: you could try to aks in #launchpad ? [15:25] *ask [15:25] oCean hm yeah! :p [15:25] oCean: I need it so I can configure my eth1 cause at the moment all i have is eth0 and the loopback\ [15:26] dizital: so you do not have the "network connections" in your preferences menu at all? Or are you just missing the eth1 device? [15:27] oCean: i'm missing the network connection in my preferences menu, the only thing in there is the network proxy for networking wise [15:28] dizital: that is weird. Right click the menu icon and choose Edit Menus. Then click Preferences menu and see if you can enable Network Connections there [15:29] oCean: I already checked there and its not there either. thats what i'm confuse about i figure it would be there [15:29] dizital: what about: network-admin & [15:30] dizital: hm, that is strange indeed [15:30] MaRk-I where would i go to check the network-admin? [15:30] i mean try that command in cli === devunt_ is now known as devunt [15:31] if you need to set a NIC try with ifconfig [15:31] dizital: the menu entry is actually a link to /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor, which is in the package network-manager-gnome. You might need to (re?)install this [15:32] Did something drasticaly change with the recent wine updates? my games became totaly unplayable with like 5 fps [15:33] MaRk-I, oCean: I just download and installed it on that machine; going to reboot system on it to see if that took care of it [15:33] dizital: roger [15:34] oCean: but yea it said that it wasn't even installed [15:35] dizital: you initially installed -server and then added "ubuntu-desktop" ? [15:37] oCean: Ok nothing new on the system preferences, but got administration-network [15:37] dizital: does it recognize eth1 ? [15:38] Where can i set which kernel is booted? I just installed one, but it isn't used... [15:39] oCean: it recognize eth1 but with no addresses; I'm trying to configure it for the addresses [15:39] nicofs: if you installed through synaptic you need to reboot [15:39] MaRk-I: used terminal and rebooted... both 2 times... [15:39] hi guys, I'm having trouble with a broadcom wireless card. It was working fine in 9.10 using ndiswrapper but is broken now in 10.04. It tried repeating the steps to install the ndiswrapper but to no avail.... [15:40] ...I'm now troubleshooting using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide#check [15:40] nicofs was it in the boot list [15:40] nicofs: what's the output of: uname -ar ? [15:40] hey all. i was compiling my program (i use C). so, can i launch that program without through console (just double click that program)? [15:40] jason123: i don''t have a boot list... no dual installation. [15:41] when u restart into linuc it should have a list of kernals to boot into [15:41] linux* [15:41] MaRk-I: Linux nicofs-netbook 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [15:41] jason123: it hasn't [15:41] it looks like a driver exists in lshw called b43-pci-bridge but it's not listed in lsmod. ndiswrapper is listed there. If I try to do a modprobe b43-pci-bridge I get a fatal error, module not found. Any ideas anyone? === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [15:42] nicofs: is that the old kernel showing up? [15:42] arinda: does your program have an actual X gui? [15:42] I need help with sound capture, I'm using PulseAudio [15:42] what do i need to do to get eth1 configure [15:42] fredsa: - - b43 - is propretairy driver for broadcome based wlan [15:43] I've tried all sorts of solutions (ALSA, OSS, JACK), and right now I'm using PulseAudio [15:43] MaRk-I: that's not the one i installed... i guess it's the old one... i didn't check what the old one was... [15:43] nicofs go here http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/New_kernel_on_Ubuntu_10.04 << read that page [15:43] if you have such, you may want to run the driver tool found in start > configuration panel > hardware drivers [15:44] dizital: try /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor (even though it's not in the menu at this point, I think you should be able to launch it that way) [15:44] it tell you how to comply the new kernal [15:44] T34: pls post give som einfo on your machine [15:44] Hi, i am trying to ingore loging of some stuff in dmesg but seems it doesnt work. i tried :msg, contains, "rcv_next" ~ in /etc/rsyslog.conf and restart from rsyslog but i still see that log in dmesg.. [15:44] Dr_Willis, no. just in console. [15:45] Ichat, I see. In that case my lsmod is probably correct as it references ndiswrapper [15:46] jason123: i can't see how that manual helps me... i have got a kernel and kernel headers as *.deb... i do not want to make my own kernel... [15:46] nicofs: if you got the .debs then install them. [15:46] fredsa - if you have a b43 (broadcom based wlan adaptor) and you are running 10.04 LTS - you probably want to try and go to /usr/share/local repositrory/ and find the b43 **** sta package there and install it by right click [15:46] dr_Willis: i did. [15:47] I have an hd video can I turn that into normal? [15:47] terry: clarify what you mean/want to do. [15:47] terry:??? [15:47] Dr_Willis: sudo dpkg -i name.deb - or was that wrong?? [15:47] oCean: I went to nm and it doesn't even want to open up to get to connection-editor [15:47] hi, I have a dual monitor setup with a Radeon HD2600 and the latest fglrx drivers from the x-updates ppa and the weird thing is that only one monitor responds to gamma adjustments [15:48] nicofs: or 'sudo gdebi whatever.deb' [15:48] I dont have a system which can play hd videos [15:48] Ichat, I followed your first advice and went into hardware drivers. The driver is now installed and wireless works, thanks [15:48] dizital: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [15:48] terry: mencoder/ffmpeg can reencode video to other formats/res/codecs [15:48] But I have downloaded a hd video [15:48] Dr_Willis: after that command, it did install kernel and headers. so i guess the command was correct... [15:48] terry: or front ends to those programs. [15:48] fredsa - yw [15:48] I've tried catalyst control center and xgamma. Any ideas? [15:49] How can I proceed to make it from .mkv to .avi [15:49] czesc :) [15:49] So it is no longer hd [15:49] MaRk-I ty i'll give this a try and see how it goes [15:49] I'm on 10.04, how can I disable windows disappearing when I do alt+tab. I don't want to preview the window. [15:49] How can I proceed to make it from .mkv to .avi? [15:50] terry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [15:50] So it is no longer hd? [15:50] jlilly`: disappearing¿¿ [15:50] xangua: when I do alt+tab, it hides all other windows besides the one currently selected in the switcher. I don't want the preview. [15:51] dizital: this one might look easier, you can try both heh http://linuxservertutorials.blogspot.com/2008/11/ubuntu-ifconfig-static-ip.html [15:51] jlilly`: if you install ccsm (compiz setting maager) you can configure your plugins, maybe you can disable them [15:51] MaRk-I: lol ty ill try the 2nd one first then [15:52] terry: reccode it to be a lower res video. [15:53] what mp3 player are you using? [15:53] How Dr_Willis? [15:54] terry: with 'ffmpeg' or 'mencoder' or front endsx to those programs - like i said earlier [15:54] Err.. why is Lucid Lynx showing my whole 1 TB drives as one single partition with a filesystem known as SFS??? [15:54] Whats those? [15:54] I dont grt them [15:54] get [15:54] which is the channel for ubuntu programming ?? [15:55] terry: they are in the repositories [15:55] Can u guide me step by step? [15:55] terry: as is winff, and avidemux, theres other convertion tools out also. [15:55] any expert with rsyslog and filter function?

I just changed to the other switcher which seems to be better. thx. [15:55] There ya go [15:55] converts to a xvid 640x360 res video [15:56] How do I access a networked disk drive? [15:56] joshdreamland: depends on how its 'networked' [15:56] 'Shared' from Windows [15:57] joshdreamland: Places --> connect to server. is one way to access a 'windows share' [15:57] Nice, thanks kindly. [15:58] joshdreamland: or you can enter the full path to the share in the nautilus address bar. smb://servername/sharename [15:58] Very cool. [15:58] joshdreamland: or the 'network' icon :) such a logical name. [15:58] some times they even work! :) [15:58] lol - i allmost smell a troll :P lolz [15:59] accessing windows shares just seems to get more and more complex as times go on. [15:59] To many new security settings i guess. :) [15:59] my Hd TV isn't recognising my laptop although my laptop see's im connected to a TV, via HDMI any ideas how to get it working? [16:00] Dr_Willis: - yah - we should revert to pynetnaibourhoud - back in the days when things was simple :P [16:00] Dr_Willis: I think your doing very well [16:00] Ichat: i had that 'fusesmb' working great for ages... then suddendly.. it dont work no moar. :( [16:00] Ichat: well suddendly as in 2 releases ago.. and never gotten fixed since. :) [16:00] lol - you should have installed NFS on your windows box, - thats what i did for ages [16:00] Ichat: i found smb4k very handy in the good old days also. [16:01] Ichat: where did you even find nfs for windows? [16:01] Dr_Willis: Would you happen to know if sharing the drive gives me burn access? I checked "full access" from the Windows box. But Ubuntu reports that it failed to mount Windows share. [16:02] lol stucked way deep in unix services for windows (windows NT 4 / windows server 2000 - you could easy run them in the desktop versions too [16:02] in dpkg --list, some packages are prefixed with "rc" while most are prefixed with "ii". what does "rc" mean? [16:02] joshdreamland: you are shareing a optical drive and want to Burn with it? it dosent work that way [16:02] though it wasn't all to stable i can tell you [16:02] No help Sir [16:02] Kream, rc usually means release canidate [16:02] Shame. [16:02] I assumed since it worked with printers, it'd work with a drive. [16:03] No help Sir [16:03] Melio: i know, but does this mean the same thing with respect to dpkg --list ? [16:03] kream that i don't know [16:03] joshdreamland: printers are actually being shared in a special way. and using 'cups' to do the work. [16:03] Is there a way to pull this off short of email macros? :P [16:03] mysql performed worse on LTS10.04 than 8.04? I have a drupal, now the database is really slow [16:03] System Cant find that file [16:03] Dr_Willis: Is there such a method for optical drives? [16:03] joshdreamland: never noticed.. never tried. [16:03] joshdreamland: - no there is NOT [16:04] Well, thanks anyway === Leif is now known as Leif_afk [16:04] joshdreamland: you could just make machine 1 - 'burn' to some file.iso then transfer the iso file over to the other box. then burn that to the optiocal drive [16:04] Ichat: Never say never [16:04] I recall some services/features in nero ? that let you access a remote optical -but that was a special case [16:04] joshdreamland: what i have trie don my cyber shop is burning an audio but that was ubuntu as my host [16:04] Hmmm. [16:05] See, the idea behind this is that the network speed won't be far behind the write speed [16:05] Kream: that's packages which have been configured, but removed. if you dpkg --list | head 3 you'll see the descriptions for those columns [16:05] You could set up a special dir on a remote server with an optical drive. that burns any new .iso files it sees copied to the dir... but thats a little overkill :) [16:05] Yes, but there're a hundred ways to overkill this one [16:06] My burnspeeds are often faster then my network transfer speeds :) [16:06] System Cant find that file [16:06] Nice [16:06] Dr_Willis: - true, - so you need full buffer-cash before burn :P [16:07] Ichat: thats what copying the whole iso over to the remote box first would do. :) [16:07] true [16:07] tery: cant vlc handles the hd video playback? [16:07] vlc can play HD video here.. but it depends on my cpu/gpu/machine. if i can play hd video back at a proper rate. [16:07] I have to convert most HD video to play back properly in my little old netbook. [16:07] unless he tweaks [16:08] it can 'almost' do HD video. :) but every so often it will lag. [16:08] Dr_Willis: - downscaling to 720p would do it for nearly all current (last 3 yr hardware) [16:09] Ichat: it also depended on the codec. I toyed with it and found xvid at the higher res worked.. but h264 (i think) was a bit too much [16:09] i tend to just convert down to the native res of the netbook screen , and xvid. and leave it at that. [16:09] convert, watch once.. delet the converted video.. :) [16:09] I got the main server set up to 'queue' up the conversions of files. [16:10] i run 720p on an fx5900 P4 2.2ghz 1gb ram (win xp just fine) - - wish it was xbmc but need a new vga card first [16:10] My Little netbook isent that big a powerhouse. :) [16:10] but the new chipsets and netbooks in the works/out now. i hear are a lot better. [16:10] heyho [16:11] Dr_Willis: - if you want power - and Media ...... consider iON [16:11] awtz hd video lags on vlc not good... needs to lower down [16:11] Ichat: saveing my $ for Xmas. :) supposed to be lots of new cool things out by Dec. [16:11] lol - [16:12] One good thing about the iPad - it 'broke open' the gates so others can now 'risk' making a similer device. and not get laughed at. [16:13] Can I use a seial mouse with Ubuntu 8.10? [16:13] im begging for a recent agp card (ati x800 or greater) (nv 66600GT or greater) so xbmc will run on it... for teh rest this little shutle is just fine [16:13] ineedhelp: you mean a serial port mouse? or a PS2 mouse? [16:13] Serial port [16:13] well - appart from the lack of sata and thus the lack of Blu ray [16:13] ineedhelp: it should work. but youi may need to manuall;y load the proper modules. [16:14] serial mouse = old skool. :) [16:14] I can't find any PS2 or USB mouses. [16:14] lol i wonder what hardware hess planning to run on if the mouse is serrial - most of my hw dont have serial anymore [16:14] ineedhelp: heh. I got a large box here with the label 'Mouses' i keep all mine in. [16:15] ineedhelp, go to geeks.com they have usb mouse [16:15] ineedhelp: are you still running old machine? [16:15] Rummage sales and other discount-used-stuff stores also have them by the tons. [16:15] I also installed Ubuntu in safe graphics mode. I made the screen huge and it still is huge. Can I make it smaller? [16:16] ineedhelp: you installed the proper video card drivers for your video card? [16:16] ineedhelp: post some little info on your machine [16:16] Yes. [16:16] ineedhelp: use the monitor tool in the system meni to set a res perhaps [16:17] i'm running docky on ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and when I logout and log back in the icons that I had saved to docky disappear, any suggestions? [16:17] Can I do that without a mouse? [16:17] ineedhelp: no idea. ive never tried. :) [16:17] ineedhelp: there is some tweak/tip to enable the keyboard mouse feature.. but i cant rember the key combo [16:17] Help... my window management keeps locking up! I cant alt-tab or minimize or close or touch the windows at all... system is responsive, but the windows refuse to respond... how come? [16:17] ineedhelp: You mean you reduced the resolution or you used the accessibility tool by accident? [16:19] Now my mouse pointer is locked at "input"... [16:19] When the live CD booted up, I installed Ubuntu in "safe graphics mode". === wzkOFF is now known as wzk [16:19] is there a way to search for a process my name in the terminal= [16:20] ?* [16:20] bergLNX: not even atl+f4? [16:20] ineedhelp: i think ctrl alt shift numlock will enable using the numerical pad for mouse movement [16:20] bergLNX: "ps" with options should list processes for you [16:20] Hi. I just installed Exaile to play mp3 musics but when I press the play button Exaile says there is no codec to play that kind of file. Mplayer plays the same music without errors. I have the console output of Exaile here showing the error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/CXx4R6Gm. Is it a gstreamer problem? [16:21] bergLNX: what app did you open [16:21] is this the ubuntu support? [16:21] I'm trying to assess the health of my HDD. I ran the short and conveyance disc utility scans, both Completed OK. I ran the extended test last night and it had "Failed - READ" up when I woke. What's that mean? [16:21] If I test alt-f4 now, I will close XChat :p [16:21] bergLNX: just try it wont hurt [16:21] bergLNX: ps aux | grep -i programname [16:22] scriptwarlock: Happened to me many times [16:22] bergLNX: what apps you opened... prepare your helmet and pres alt+f4 :) [16:22] scriptwarlock: Happened when I opened repository settings this time... [16:22] alt-f4 did nothing [16:23] bergLNX: helmet was a joke... [16:23] ok so what app you opened? [16:23] scriptwarlock: What apps Im running? [16:23] bergLNX: ah yes [16:23] if I have two ubuntu computer (under the same router), how can I make a ssh connection using the computer name instead of the a ip? I always get "could not resolve hostname" [16:23] scriptwarlock:xchat, 2 terminals, firefox, empathy [16:24] managed to close rep settings, but didnt help [16:24] bergLNX: easy way go to system>administration>system montor [16:24] would anyone know of a site that host NES rom's for ubuntu 10.4 [16:24] I also killed compiz, so now Im really locked :p [16:24] Idhan: define names in /etc/hosts for the machines ? [16:24] Idhan: if they are on the same subnet, then you should be able to use the hostname of the second box like this.. ssh box2.local [16:24] erUSUL: let my tray it :) [16:25] scriptwarlock: Well, I cant use those menus .p [16:25] bergLNX: and choose the processes pane and kill those apps you were running [16:25] Idhan: or use bastid_raZor suggestion... [16:25] hi, i have a dell laptop and i would like to use an external microfone for skype, teamspeak and so on, but my ubuntu 10.04 32bit ist not recognizing the external device [16:25] I have a question, How do I work with "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", I'm new to ubuntu, former windows user. [16:25] bergLNX: open the terminal [16:25] Idhan: you will also need openssh-server running [16:25] wizard_: pass that sh*t on if you find it pls... I found one online the other day but can't remember it now. [16:26] scriptwarlock: It cant be the apps thats doing this, it happens after a while every time I reboot, with different apps every time... kinda renders Ubuntu useless for me [16:26] DarkStar1, I will do [16:26] wizard_: Thanks man. [16:26] sudio editor /etc/apt/sources.list [16:26] bastid_raZor: how is that with the second box? I try ssh box2.local, but doesnt work.. (just for the record I have openssh running already) [16:26] sudo* [16:26] bergLNX: is this laptop or desktop [16:26] laptop [16:26] ctrl + o to save the changes you make ianthearsonist [16:26] ok, it seems i'm running out of room in my filesystem [16:27] how do i fix this so i can avoid that error mssge? [16:27] bergLNX: it happened everytime you opened what? [16:27] Idhan: the method i suggested is best IF you don't have static IP's set for each machine. setting the hostnames in /etc/hosts is by far a better route [16:27] Hi [16:27] Idhan: box2 needs to be replaced with the hostname of the 2nd box [16:27] scriptwarlock: I happens after using Ubuntu for a few minutes === DarkNemesis is now known as v4vendetta [16:28] wizard_: http://www.virtualnes.com/list/index.html does that work for you?

After Grub slecting choice all I see is this: http://u.nu/3s35d - and it is not reachable via ssh.... anyone has any idea about what could be wrong? [16:29] i don't have a lot of files [16:29] jose: "sudo apt-get clean" can give you some space back [16:29] scriptwarlock: I'll try a reboot... [16:29] IdleOne: I don't have a lot of files [16:29] DarkStar1, yes but it's web based I have the NES on my computer need to download roms [16:29] jose: after that see if /var/ still occupies to much space [16:30] erUSUL: did that [16:30] Problem: My ubuntu doesn't boot anymore. After Grub slecting choice all I see is this: http://u.nu/3s35d - and it is not reachable via ssh.... anyone has any idea about what could be wrong? - it's like that since I rebooted after upgrading to 10.04 [16:30] erUSUL: /var/? [16:30] ianthearsonist, use 'gksudo' instead of 'sudo' and it will work [16:30] wizard_: That site doesn't work for me. What plugins do I need for it?

[16:32] Hello all. It appears that ssh-agent is saving my private keys until I logout. I would like it to time-out after a couple minutes... How can I do that? [16:32] wizard_: Lucid 64 [16:32] erUSUL:it tells me 328M [16:32] DarkStar1, same as me then you need the java install [16:33] DarkStar1, you also need the flash install that should cover it for you [16:33] jose: that's not too much. use Aplications>Admin..>to see where the space is "wasted" [16:33] wizard_: flash is installed. but checking synaptic now. seems I'm missing Java [16:33] DarkStar1, goto the software centre and look for nes [16:34] DarkStar1, install the java thats the issue [16:34] wizard_: know which one I should be looking for? [16:34] DarkStar1, also just found a roms site to download the roms to the computer [16:34] snes [16:34] erUSUL:yeah, my disk supposedly has 100+GB of space. where under administration am i looking?

[16:35] jose: no aplications>accesories>disk use analizer [16:35] wizard_: the site with downloadable ROMS [16:35] what is lock /unlock in fire starter, firewall application? [16:35] DarkStar1, wizard_ don't discuss ROM sites/links here please [16:35] * DarkStar1 blinks [16:36] ZykoticK9, ok [16:36] DarkStar1, private message me [16:36] wizard_, +1 [16:36] Hello everyone, I've created an Ubuntu 10.04 live-usb and am attempting to load. I see the bootup process running but when the X-server should display graphics, my monitor just loses signal instead. what can I do in order to correct this? [16:36] DarkStar1, I'll send the link [16:36] padhu: locks blocks all connections---- unlocks opens all connections... [16:36] erUSUL:total file system capacity: 471.9 GB. Total filesystem usage: 152.1 GB [16:37] scriptwarlock: everything? [16:37] padhu: yes [16:37] jose: so what is complaining about no space left ? [16:37] Hello, I've attempted to resize my windows partition and install ubuntu but I now have overlapping partitions and an unbootable XP... anyone know how to fix overlapping partitions? [16:37] erUSUL: started this morning. got error message that i was running out of space [16:37] padhu: try to lock and surf [16:38] well, restart worked :p [16:38] padhu: i mean surf the web [16:38] scriptwarlock: oh, i thought that It locks for editing firewall rules, :-) [16:38] erUSUL: checked properties of filesystem flder. says only 3.2GB of space available. it makes no sense to me [16:39] scriptwarlock: thanks, :-) [16:39] jose: it may be a filsystem error. pass a fsck tro the partition [16:39] bergLNX: observe your hardware if somthing comes up or make some test on your lappy [16:39] jose: it may be a filesystem error. pass a fsck to the partition [16:39] padhu: your welcome [16:39] erUSUL: what's the terminal command for that? [16:39] erUSUL: I love the terminal [16:39] Does anyone know what I need to do in order for Ubuntu 10.04 live-usb load properly? right now there is sound when it finishes loading but there's no video. my monitor just loses signal when the X should start. [16:40] Question though: What are you suppose to do here in Linux when things stop responding? Is there a way to list and kill unresponding processes? [16:40] :D o/ all [16:40] jose: easiest way if it is the root partition is to do « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot. the fsck will pass during boot [16:40] scriptwarlock: I cant see how hardware should stop me from minimizing and closing windows... [16:40] jose: the other way is to use a livecd becouse mounted partitions can not be checked [16:40] bergLNX, sudo pkill -9 [16:41] bergLNX: more ways to kill :) .. aprocess [16:42] hi [16:42] hi yusef [16:42] D-coy: But how do I figure which process thats not responding, and how do I get to a terminal if my mouse keyboard is locked (like within a game)? [16:42] bergLNX: and sometimes you can use killall (process), or pgrep or yes pkill -9 [16:42] jose: If you use terminal frequently, then install guake. Nice one, try it [16:42] afternoon [16:42] bergLNX, Ctrl + Alt F2 or 2 or 3, use tty [16:42] well it's still morning here! [16:43] anybody?

(too quiet) [16:57] Dr_Willis: Usually there is nobody logged into the box as its mainly used as a file server [16:57] Zenze, Since it's in the preferences menu and does not ask for a sudo or root password it most likely only is in effect while you are logged in. [16:57] Zenze, To apply system wide settings you need to be root. [16:57] wizard_: Sorry I tripped th PSU cable [16:58] DarkStar1, no problem sorted then ?

[16:59] i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 yesterday, but now my firefox fonts are "screwed". does "sudo do-update-release" update to 10.04 or to the latest beta? according to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/firefox/+bug/512615 it should be fixed in 10.04 beta2 [16:59] !edubuntu [16:59] Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [17:00] I found the /etc/hdparm.conf file, if I make changes in here do they automatically take effect after a reboot? [17:00] dizital: are you putting this box on a home network? cable modem fios or dsl? [17:00] julius_: 10.04 is out of beta.. so it would be final. [17:00] getohht: home network with cable modem [17:00] Dr_Willis, so the firefox bug should be gone? [17:00] julius_: shiould be, try making a new user - see if it affects them. [17:01] Dr_Willis, good idea [17:01] Dr_Willis remember my strange fstab problem. well this is probably not the right way to fix it, but i boted the live cd and copied over that fstab, and then re set up ntfs-config and whalla [17:02] gethoht:j/w cause i have the server right now, connected to the router on eth0 and eth1 connected to a switch with my labtop connected to that switch with a static ip address and it cannot connect to the internet but all my other computers have internet but they also connected to the router directly [17:02] hi guys, i just installed on a fresh machine the 10.04 LTS, but nothing is happening whn booting [17:02] hello people [17:03] Lobo1 hello [17:03] toto__, are you seeing a grub menu?

[17:03] BluesKaj: NO I m not [17:03] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes [17:04] it s as if grub was not seen [17:04] or even not installed... dunna [17:04] How can I install it? [17:05] toto__, try holding the shift key down when booting [17:05] toto_ that can happen, especially if one of your hd's is sda and the other is ide [17:05] dizital: it should be setup like so .... Cable modem should be plugged into the "wan" port on your router, the switch should be connected to the "lan" part of your router and all the computers should plug into the switch [17:05] wake on wireless (WoL to a wirelessly connected computer) -- supported in Lucid? [17:06] i was on it :) [17:06] BluesKaj: No delay for boot menu with GRUB 2 [17:06] from the release notes :) good. [17:06] but still... [17:06] toto__, you didn't install windows on a separate partition after ubuntu ? I have to ask [17:07] BluesKaj: i actually let a partition empty in case I needed it, but nothing installed right now [17:07] gethoht: ok I see what your talking about, the way i have currently connected is cable modem to router, server eth0 to router and server eth1 to switch with labtop to switch [17:07] toto__, no the timeout default =0 in grub2 === alerpiz is now known as alper [17:08] there s a couple of errors about a firmware not loaded (a dvb-usb tdt pen) and ureadable dont know what, [17:08] dizital... you shouldn't have to plug it into the switch and the router [17:08] then nothing more... [17:08] moin zusammen [17:08] isn t there any way to see the logs? [17:08] i ll try to boot without the usb dvb pen inside... [17:09] can you get to a tty with ctrl+alt+f1 , toto__ ? [17:09] ureadahead returned with status 5 or something like this... [17:10] BluesKaj: No, I can t [17:10] ok [17:10] could this be the sector problem on older machines? [17:10] toto__, you might have a hardware recognition problem ..not sure [17:11] Partition alignment changes may break some systems [17:11] well, this is old hardware, detected by a Debian Lenny without any kind of issues [17:12] can someone please tell me the linux equivalent of "ipconfig /displaydns"? I can't seem to find it :( [17:12] Dr_Willis, system crashed. but a new user has the same problems [17:12] i don t know what s going on, ... I installed a separate boot partition and I see the grub.

[17:59] is jsut not booting. Supposed to work out of the box. 3/3 unresolved. This one, this time, is another bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423305&page=2 [17:59] madsara: in some ways i perfer the KDE netbook interface. (if yu like kde) [18:00] Ah, ok.. I might try the remix version. [18:00] scriptwarlock: so? [18:00] Dr_Willis: Probably go with XFCE4 [18:00] Or fluxbox [18:00] madsara: i dont care much for XFCE. [18:00] madsara: try jolicloud as well..

[18:00] And there s a solution. Let me call it a WINDOWS solution: it seems to be related to a separated /var partition, so I should merge my partitions. ????? [18:00] Tizemt: a minute maybe Dr_Willis butsin about hidden/encrypte files in your partition [18:00] Its a wubi installation [18:01] I think this is stupid and nonsense, and a CHEAPEST CHEAP CHEAP solution... [18:01] Dr_Willis: Last time I compared the two, XFCE was faster than Gnome... fluxbox was much quicker, but I kept adding xfce elements to it so I finally just went to xfce [18:01] this is just too much, and I m really pissed. [18:01] Ok,nice [18:01] toto? [18:01] CAN I INSTALL NETBOOK VERSION IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE ON UBUNTU? [18:01] madsara: i dont really find the speed gain noticeable..

[18:01] pls [18:02] sekz, i686 and x6_64 are not related pieces of information [18:02] hUIWE: yes. please use lowercase [18:02] can some one help me? [18:02] with the sound issue [18:02] any mutt users? I have an msmtp issue [18:02] so, is there a decent solution? [18:02] Guest87684: Try #mutt. [18:02] timothy_, whats the problem?? [18:02] hUIWE: i can't see any reason why it shouldn't [18:02] @hmmm shishire i686 =32 bit [18:02] you get all your drivers installed and updates?? [18:02] X86_64 is 64 bit [18:02] I did . . . good tip--but no one is there, really. Nor has there been the few times I've attempted. [18:03] cause I like having split partitions, split disks, use parallel swaps, you know, those things performing well. Avoiding fleeding /var/logs making the / unusuble... [18:03] Also i cannot install 64 bit .debs! [18:03] I've been avoiding 64-bit distros for years due to reports of instability, lack of ported apps etc... and today I'm wondering if thats still a valid reason? should I be running a 64-bit linux? what are the advantages? [18:03] hey everyone [18:03] very angry toto [18:03] andre_pl: 64bit mostly works, it's non-free things like flash etc that doesn't work. [18:03] I just can t beleive anyone here had the issue of not being able to boot after an install [18:03] andre_pl, I run 64 bit with no problems, even with 32 bit wine games, etc. [18:04] andre_pl: or needs workarounds to work. [18:04] andre_pl: its not really been a valid reason for quite some time.. (2+ yrs) [18:04] msmtp works through the command line fine . . . but not through mutt [18:04] there is no 64bit version of netbook?:| [18:04] no? [18:04] andre_pl: the only advantage is you can use more than 3.5 gb of ram [18:04] i dont think so [18:04] hUIWE: ive never seen a 64bit netbook.. so there is no 64bit netbook iso. [18:04] most netbooks arent 64 bit [18:04] hUIWE: you can install the normal 64bit ubuntu . then isntall the netbook-desktop pacoages if you wanted [18:04] i am taking abt destop version! [18:04] did u have any other windows installed on same partition?? might have been the mbr > win boot [18:05] Guest87684: Are you joining the right channel? There are 91 users in there at the moment. I didn't say that they would answer instantly, you will need to wait. [18:05] wow, many responses. So there really are no advantages to running 64-bit unless i have > 3.5G of ram? [18:05] 64bit gives more then just 'ram' it does speed up some of the tasks i do. (video reencoding) [18:05] ok thanks [18:05] andre_pl: i find ther ARE advantages.. more speed for one [18:05] Thanks io . . . I'll keep pecking. [18:05] andre_pl: not usually, unless you have processes that need more than 2 gigs of ram for a single process [18:06] Dr_Willis: do u know of a nice netbook that we could use in kitchen? with no keyboard, just one face that is touch screen and doesnt look like a laptop.. just like a single monitor touch screen? [18:06] 4+ hrs reencoding a video - any little gain helps :) i will stick with 64bit wjhenever possible [18:06] Dr_Willis: that is the kind of advantage I'm looking for. SwedeMike: I only have 2G of ram total, so that doesn't seem like a factor here. [18:06] andre_pl: AES-NI (AES acceleration on newer intel processors) is a 64bit only feature, that might be one reason to run 64bit. [18:06] guys i need help in installing my built in webcam for my sony vaio [18:06] hUIWE: i saw some weird pc that was like that. but it had its own special ubuntu variant OS. and was a bit pricy [18:06] andre_pl: stick with the 32 bit. [18:07] switch10_: I think I might, I just feel like I'm missing out on something.. .but it seems like that something might just be "problems" [18:07] lol [18:07] ok. me and myself. i ll speak to the unplugged webcam. laters guys [18:08] andre_pl: ive not had any problems with 64bit that i can rember.. [18:08] I rarely see people in here with 64bit problems either. [18:08] Dr_Willis: flash just works? [18:08] oob? [18:08] flash works good here. (as good as it works anywhere elze on linux) [18:08] toto__, might it be the windows mbr?? on the same partition [18:09] flash on linux. is not that 'great' :) buit ive not noticed the 64bit being any better/worse [18:09] the only weird problem i've run into so far on 64-bit lts is gunzip is kind of screwy when unzipping specific files [18:09] well, thanks for the input, I'm going to gather some more opinions and maybe i'll think about making the switch. [18:09] Dr_Willis: andre_pl: the only problem with 64 bit i had was installing drivers for a lightscribe disk drive. and even then you can force the architecture [18:09] hello guys. please help me to fix my dvd. I can't mount any disk. I am using ubuntu 10.04 [18:09] gethoht: that's a pretty strange problem. [18:09] guy how do i enable my laptop webcam [18:09] andre_pl: flash is not working good on 32bit and 64bit (linux) also not on 32bit windows and 64bit windows. but there is no big difference in 32bit and 64bit.also there is no amd64 versio of flash anymore. its using 32bit with a 64bit wrapper [18:09] !webcam | manoj [18:09] manoj: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [18:10] works fine on debian and redhat, but 10.04 ubuntu gives me problems [18:10] must have something to do with a link or library... i don't know [18:10] so, i uninstalled my FGLRX drivers and now my monitor isn't overdriven. how can i get the drivers working properly?: [18:10] trojan_spike: it s not; no windows here [18:10] i ve been using linux since 2001...

[18:39] Jake2|cfl: if its a samba share (thats waht it looks like here) you can access it as you would any other 'share' places -> connect to server, or 'network' [18:39] ^Jay2^: so remove all that and bye bye Wine stuff properly [18:39] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/462156/ how to fix that [18:39] Jake2|cfl: or enter the url in the nautulus address -> smb://mynas/public [18:39] Jake2|cfl: do you wanna share files?

Second install, a crash from migrating 9/04 to 9.10. Now, the separate /var partition. [18:40] Dr_Willis: which one to install? [18:40] padhu: whatever one you want.. [18:40] DarkStar1: Brasero doesn't always work properly, you could use K3B instead, KDE app though, so if you don't have one already installed, will want to put on quite a lot of KDE stuff, but not a problem, as long as your partition isn't really stupidly sized [18:40] This is more a windows joke than a serious way to build distros. I m sorry to have to say that [18:41] Dr_Willis: tell me good one [18:41] padhu: the bot just did.. 'glipper' is one [18:41] Vax_: try bios tweaks...or get it repaired...possible drive problems...i suggest you try check with more dvds..cos some drive dont recogonise some comapany dvds [18:41] Dr_Willis: so what should i run sudo fsck -A -f ?

I also use pulse. where can i switch the "capture" device to always on? [18:42] Is there anyway to capture screenmode info in Ubuntu ? Dont know how or why but for once 720p loaded correctly on my LCD TV. I know for sure if I reboot I well be back to overscan issues [18:43] DarkStar1: really when it comes to Gnome, Brasero is the best burning software, the good news though is that K3B runs in Gnome as well :) [18:43] DarkStar1: i use Devede all the time. buring the iso it makes is trivial after its gerenated the iso [18:43] Dr_Willis: i dont have a live cd just the installation cd [18:43] sebsebseb: no need, thanks.

[18:45] Milk_: on the live cd? theres an icon for terminal somewhere. [18:45] can any one help me im having sound problems with ubuntu 10.4 i start listening to musick on vlc or any media player and my sound cuts offf [18:45] Milk_: or use the console.

[18:50] !install | mrexen [18:50] nagendra: Then you can make docuemnts using that and open them I guess. and I think theres still a free document viewer for Office files from Microsoft that should work in Wine. So you probably don't really need to run Office 2007 in Wine :) [18:50] mrexen: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation.

[19:01] i dont know what happened but when I try to shift my applications to other workspace....it shows me Desk 1 (1), Desk 2 (2)..... and so on instead of normally showing Desk 1, Desk 2...and my applications seems to be running slower than usual [19:01] Dr_Willis: ah, that's the clue then--it doesn't know how to find MYNAS. [19:01] padhu: i said 'killall gnome-panel' earlier. [19:02] Jake2|cfl: thats why i said to use the ip in my example. :) [19:02] Milk_: Application->Accesories-->Terminal [19:02] tuxrocks: hes ion the altenrative installer cd. [19:02] anyone here familiar with nomachine nx? i want to know how/if i can simply resume the original gnome session instead of creating one when i connect through nx [19:02] Dr_Willis: yeah, I think I will put it inot hosts file [19:02] Milk_: one of the alt-ctrl-f# should have a terminal on it. [19:02] Dr_Willis: nope [19:02] anyone know why I'd get a mount.cifs error 112: Host Is Down message when trying to mount network shares? I can ping the computer so I know it's up [19:03] Jake2|cfl: issue ive had doing that is if the ip changes.. it can get real confuseing. :) [19:03] tuxrocks: ofc but im trying to cronjob it ;) [19:03] PerryArmstrong, please don't repeat your problem quickly...sometimes answers aren't available. could you post a screenshot to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin? [19:03] Dr_Willis: i got it, thanks :-) [19:03] Dr_Willis: yeah i know, but with no way for ubuntu to resolve local net names, what else to do? [19:03] Milk_: for my nvidia systems. the consoles dont even work properly on the live/alt cd's :() i use other live cd's for these tasks [19:03] extraclassic: Are you using firewalls? If so, try to disable all of them and try again. [19:04] Jake2|cfl: hope the ip never changes.. or watch out for it if it does change. [19:04] PerryArmstrong, (the imagebin should be without the "?" -- sorry) :) [19:04] yeah, already disabled them [19:04] is there a simple way to update thunderbird in ubuntu 9.10 using the packetmanager? [19:04] on a related issue: is there any cli or gui method to monitor user sessions? [19:04] bbl. [19:04] Dr_Willis: ok. ill burn just burn on.. but does it matter because i have the alternative version installed [19:04] slidinghorn, what screenshot should i show [19:04] Dr_Willis: will it matter [19:04] extraclassic: Try to use ip address instead of machine names [19:04] blacksunseven: monitor in what way? Just typing "who" will tell you who's logged in [19:04] also edited /etc/hosts so the DNS would work [19:05] PerryArmstrong, something that shows your issue, because (at least to me) it didn't make very much sense... [19:05] tried that also [19:05] Vroomfondle: i've used that before, but i'm a little confused by the results [19:06] wt is the difference btw who and w [19:06] Vroomfondle: it shows 3 user sessions: [19:06] user tty7 2010-07-01 19:54 (:0) [19:06] user pts/0 2010-07-09 00:39 (:1022.0) [19:06] user pts/1 2010-07-10 09:40 (:1022.0) [19:06] blacksunseven: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:06] blacksunseven: that's ony real tty (console login - probably the main login shell) and two virtual terminal sessions (probably gnome-terminal or similar) [19:06] tuxrocks: type the following in your terminal: whatis w who [19:06] *one real [19:07] extraclassic: Try to watchout the samba logs [19:07] din: To the 3.0 version I assume, and the answer is no, however there is probably a ppa. [19:07] jrib: tx [19:07] blacksunseven: all of those sessions belong to the same user, who appears to be called "user" on your system [19:07] din: Bound to be a ppa on Launchpad for Thunderbird 3 for 9.10 [19:08] slidinghorn, see this my desktop folder: http://imagebin.org/104882 [19:08] Vroomfondle: i guess the stem of my question is i want to ensure there arent mult. gnome sessions running and bogging down my machine [19:08] since nx creates one and there's already the default one running locally [19:08] oh... hm [19:08] i've been looking all over ubuntu help forum and can't find anything about invoking the boot installation from the EFI Shell version 2.10 [19:08] slidinghorn, and this is my actual desktop showing no files or folders: http://imagebin.org/104884 [19:09] blacksunseven: you'd need to pipe "ps -aux" into grep and search for the right thing, I think [19:09] blacksunseven: "ps -aux | grep gnome-session" might do what you want [19:09] PerryArmstrong, your screenshots don't sho any problems that I can see...could you please try to explain your problem in detail? Please see the factoid below [19:09] how do i see active network connections using netstat [19:09] !details | PerryArmstrong [19:09] I *think* two running copies of gnome will require two running copies of gnome-session, but not sure [19:09] PerryArmstrong: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:10] it's looking for a Domain Master Browser name and can't find it [19:10] I'm not using a domain though [19:10] i mean the ip addresses to which i m connected [19:10] one minute [19:10] tuxrocks: netstat -a [19:10] slidinghorn, did you see my desktop folder in the 1st screenshot showing files and folders....and in the 2nd screen shot is the desktop where i dont see the files [19:11] its flooding oscillocam [19:11] How much strength of password created by password managers ( keypassx, Password Gorilla)? [19:11] ok -t [19:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/462169/ [19:11] is it trustworthy? [19:11] PerryArmstrong, I saw both...and there's no indication of anything you were talking about when you originally described your issue [19:11] does an ipod touch work with rythumbox? error Peer-to-peer dbus. [19:11] When to use ##linux and when to use ##ubuntu??? [19:11] Dr_Willis: thanks for yor help :)) [19:12] blacksunseven: two gnome-sessions, thus two running gnomes. [19:12] Vroomfondle: right. i guess that's good enough [19:12] i wanted to make sure nx wasnt creating a new gnome each time [19:12] is there a manual for installing the alternate edition iso or do i need to download the original version iso at 5kb/s? [19:13] mrexen: the alternate edition installer is quite straightforward [19:13] Vroomfondle: i'm stuck at Shell> [19:13] slidinghorn, originally i talked about something else i understand....i'll tell what i was telling you before.....in case you want to shift your firefox application from Workspace 1 to worskpace 2..... you right click it and select Move to another Workspace....then you select Desk 1 or Desk 2 or so on...right...did you get me till here?? [19:13] mrexen: at shell? Ouch. That shouldn't happen. [19:13] assuming you picked the right option at the beginning [19:13] chka: #ubuntu is support for the Ubuntu Linux distribution whilst ##linux is covers more general Linux topics (and other distributions, as well as Ubuntu). [19:13] Would someone with a decent audio/video rig and a proven Skype setup be willing to help me test my new Skype machine? The test bot only checks audio, not lagginess and video framerate. [19:13] PerryArmstrong, got you so far :) [19:14] Vroomfondle: i haven't picked any option yet [19:14] (if you chose recovery console then you'll get a shell, but otherwise you should see an installer or the memory check) [19:14] chka: If you are having an issue with Ubuntu, or a package running on Ubuntu then you are safe to ask in here, #ubuntu. [19:14] i get a 'device mapping table' [19:14] slidinghorn, but it no longer shows me that way....instead of showing me Desk 1, Desk 2....it shows me the options as Desk 1 (1), Desk 2 (2) and so on...... got it?? [19:14] then it just says Shell> [19:15] i help with video in live cd [19:15] mrexen, is this a clean install? Are you trying to dual boot? is there anything preventing you from downloading the full image and starting over? [19:15] PerryArmstrong, Ok I understand...is it just with firefox or is it with all applications? [19:15] slidinghorn, with all applications [19:15] clean install yes not trying to dual boot and i have a slow connection [19:15] If the thunderbird 3 file is only for Lucid Lynx at the ppa, I can't use it? (I got 9.10) === serrano is now known as figure002 === figure002 is now known as 77CAAXAKA [19:16] PerryArmstrong, ok...give me a few minutes to see if I can find anything that will help [19:16] and my 2nd problem is that my desktop is not showing me the files i originally had [19:16] slidinghorn, and my 2nd problem is that my desktop is not showing me the files i originally had [19:16] I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with encrypted home dirs. I had to do some maintenance including swapping of two users' UIDs and GIDs. So I did a deluser on the users and a delgroup on the groups. Then I created the users and groups again with the corrects UIDs/GIDs. Then I chowned all the users' files under /home/$USER and /home/.ecryptfs/$USER. Then I reset password with passwd $USER. But now the users cannot log in, thus cannot decrypt their files. What to do [19:16] slidinghorn, okk take your time... [19:16] din: Lucid Lynx comes with Thunderbird 3 [19:16] padhu: it depends on what they are protecting. For users with limited access they are fine but not to be used for root/admin password creation. [19:16] din: You don't need a ppa for Thunderbird 3, but thats the useual way to get later versions of software when the repo doesn't have it [19:17] din: You could install it directly from mozilla yourself [19:17] thunderbird?wer we need to get it [19:17] din: well Thunderbird 3 doesn't come with Lucid Lynx, but it is in the repo, just correcting that [19:17] mrexen, well, either way (alternate or typical install) you're going to have to download a large amount of files in order to get a decent (i.e. noob friendly) install of ubuntu -- I would probably recommend getting the typical install iso and starting over, but maybe someone else here can guide you through from where you're at right now [19:17] evolution [19:17] this is my problem ==> http://www.youtube.com/user/macfire#p/a/u/0/5ki-h0GOrcE [19:18] hello all, if I enable my laptop to WOL can it be done over wifi or does it have to be wired [19:18] wizard_: Whats WOL? [19:18] wake on lan [19:18] so am I right: The usual way to get newer versions is to get it with the newer version of ubuntu, if I want to use a lower ubuntu version I gotta see for myself to get the programs in the version I want manually?

[19:44] luishasbon: gwibber will still work correctly if it is unchecked, but it won't start in the background automatically when you log in, so you will have to click it in the indicator applet when you want to start it === perry_ is now known as perry|dk [19:45] luishasbon: which some people might want if they don't want to be disturbed while working [19:45] ltrism: ok, thanks a lot you have been really helpfuñ [19:45] I know it's a bit OT, but I love that factoid :) [19:45] having trouble installing flash in hardy, installed from synaptic but about:plugins on mozilla doesn't show it and it doesn't work [19:45] Oh, I'm sorry, well, I moved a rom from my win7 to the ubuntu and I can't see it in the gui though I specified the directory, and when I look it up and try to start it i get the following error "An error occured when trying to launch this rom: romname.gba" [19:45] trism: ok, thanks a lot you have been really helpful, why does facebook does not work properly on gwibber?

[19:47] Guest38977, when you say you moved it over from win7...did you actually install the ROM on ubuntu or did you just copy it from your windows install? [19:47] jose: I was thinking that if you did have separate / and /home that perhaps you made the / partition a little to small [19:48] luishasbon: I don't know, many people seem to have that problem, but I don't have a facebook account to test with...someone else here might know though [19:48] trism: ok, thanks i didnt want to disturb you [19:48] jose: honestly I am not sure besides telling you to delete files, also could you show us the error you are getting? === Leif_afk is now known as Leif [19:48] IdleOne: it's a laptop with 2 HDs.

[19:49] slidinghorn, Well I moved it from my stationary computer to my laptop in which I recently installed ubuntu to try it out. so far I like it (offtopic, sorry) so I can see the file here, I can move it around, I put it in my folder under another folder in which i named roms, specified that folder in kamefu and I wont boot and it gives me the error I told you earlier. [19:49] IdleOne: it just says something to the effect of 'you are running out of disk space. [19:49] Can anybody help me find out why my internet connection sharing keeps stopping working? [19:49] Slidinghorn, I'm a bit too new to this, takes a while to adjust to it. [19:49] Ddorda: You should be able to get the grub menu up by pressing & holding down the shift key at boot time [19:49] It's like the settings just get forgoten after restart. [19:50] jose: when does it give that error? [19:50] Guest38977, copying files between OSs will not make them work...you need to actually install them onto your ubuntu installation. is this a game emulator or something?

[19:51] luishasbon, 32 bit [19:51] Ddorda: what about esc [19:51] Guest38977, I've never used an emulator, but I would try installing the ROMs directly to ubuntu instead of copying them...see if it works [19:51] after i 'aptitude remove --purge pkg1' still it shows as 'rc' in 'dpkg -l', how can I get rid of the dpkg display of that? [19:51] 'aptitude remove --purge' still leaves some garbage, i.e. conf [19:52] Ddorda: I'm not sure, I used the left shift key to bring up the grub menu when I last had to use it [19:52] you want to remove the flash wrapper let me see where it was after you remove it you should be able to use flash correctly [19:52] DJones: worked! thanks [19:52] Hi, Ubuntu Lucid on Lenovo SL510, getting halt in Screen saver, lspic says...

[20:14] Slimp: install vncserver.. ssh in.. how to what part? [20:15] !vnc [20:15] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [20:15] Dr_Willis: how to starting up the server. [20:15] scriptwarlock: ok, now what? [20:15] alright, first time running ubuntu in several years. i have a new hp laptop, i'm thoroughly overwhelmed with how to configure the touchpad. the gist of it is - the lower section of the trackpad that would correspond to "buttons" basically just make the pointer jump around all over the screen, rather than acting like a click [20:15] Slimp: install vncserver and run .. 'vncserver' [20:15] have installed x11vnc but am looking for something a bit more intergrated? like RDP for windows, any idea's? [20:15] Slimp: is one way. [20:15] slidinghorn, My intellimouse works perfectly, but it's very old, and I wish to use this mouse for World of Warcraft. Also, the Dot per inch is sooo pretty and easy on the eyes. it's mouse perfection. [20:16] kyle_: gnome has its own vnc server/client feature - unless of course you are not using gnome.. [20:16] The command for that being sudo vncserver? [20:16] the touchpad appears to be detected as a "Synaptics Touchpad" [20:16] jose: go to preference and change the "save location" to a bigger partition-- default is Downloads am i right? [20:16] Slimp: no... you dont run vncserver as root.. its ran by the user sshing in. [20:16] slidinghorn, for games like call of duty, it has a sniper button which auto lowers the DPI Reading, to steady your hand for headshots. [20:16] using ubuntu 10.4 [20:16] kyle_: what are you tryin to do [20:16] Dr_Willis: so the command is just vncserver? No flags or anything? [20:17] Slimp: theres dozens of options and flags you could use.. [20:17] hi all; quick unix perms question -- if I have r/w permission a directory that contains a file owned by someone else, it appears I can still unlink that file from my directory (with -f). I just want to confirm that this is truly unlinking the file and that the storage will be freed if this is indeed the only link to the inode [20:17] scriptwarlock:yes it is, i changed it to videos, will that fix the error? [20:17] Dr_Willis: of course, but non-required for what I want to do, right? [20:17] Slimp: but the common way i do it.. ssh to remote, run 'vncserver' , on local machine use 'vncviewer remoteboxip' [20:17] how do I enable java in firefox? already installed openjdk-6-jre [20:17] jose: try some downloads [20:17] Slimp: i dont know what you 'want to do' other then you asked how to start vnc.. [20:17] t3mp3st: that is correct [20:18] Dr_Willis: that's what I want to do. [20:18] spiky_: I want to be able to DRP ubuntu 10.4 from any location via RDP/VNC.. Got vnc, but if i reboot i have to start it etc.. + it has a not so nice icon... Would like it intergarated like windows RDP [20:18] luishasbon, yep. said it installed fine...no flash, doesnt list it @ about:plugins...im just lost [20:18] t3mp3st: However if it is a directory and contains files then you cannot remove it [20:19] jamesstanley,kjele: thanks so much! I'm in permissions nirvana at the moment :P [20:19] scriptwarlock:you know, i still see my home folder still says it only has 600 or so MB of space left, but if i click on the HD icon, that has 106GB left. [20:20] nikitis, this is all I could really find with useful info about intellimouse...It's a little dated, so I'm not sure how accurate it wouldbe, but there are some very recent posts on the last couple pages so it might still be relevant: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171396 [20:20] jose: well open nautilus and view hiddenfiles [20:20] jose: see whats inside your home [20:20] anyone use nxserver ?? [20:20] is it like RDP? [20:20] jose: or clean some cache in your home [20:20] kyle_: i have. its a little.. differnt then vnc - worked well.. but a bit harder to setup. [20:20] kyle_: it was a LOT faster [20:20] slidinghorn, i don't really have any issue with my intellimouse lol. It's my new Cybord R.A.T. 7 Mouse that is causing the problems. [20:21] scriptwarlock: how do i open nautilus? [20:21] jose: go to places then home [20:21] mltngclk: ok...so letssuppose you uncompressed it in downloads folder so you should have a libflash.so file in that folder now goto terminal and type sudo cp /home/yourname/downloads/libflash.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflash.so [20:21] !nautilus | jose [20:21] !freenx > kyle_ [20:21] kyle_, please see my private message [20:22] luishasbon, k 1 sec === DrManhattn is now known as DrManhattan === geowany is now known as geowany[spa === geowany[spa is now known as geowany[spa] [20:23] ah, https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-driver-synaptics/+bug/516329 seems to address my touchpad issues. oh goodie, kernel recompiling /sigh [20:23] slidinghorn, and googling cyborg R.A.T. 7 will produce no results in google. It's that new. I'm trying to find out ways to debug what is going on with this mouse. [20:24] HOW DO I INSTALL AUTOCAD 2010 ON UBUNTU??? SORRY FOR CAPS [20:24] nikitis, googling it brought up your post on the forums...that's about it, lol [20:24] scriptwarlock: ok i typed that into the terminal, it opened a filebrowser window, then hit ctrl h to show hidden files. now what? [20:24] I need experts [20:24] !caps | luishasbon -- if you know not to do it, then why did you? [20:24] luishasbon -- if you know not to do it, then why did you?: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [20:24] jose: what kind wierd files you saw? === davros is now known as vorian [20:24] Do I need anti-rootkit on ubuntu ? [20:25] bambam_: no [20:25] If yes then which is the preferred one ? [20:25] jose: if you can screenshot that please [20:25] ok [20:25] slidinghorn, i need a linux guru to help me troubleshoot this. This is new territory. [20:25] im sorry... my bad. sorry [20:25] luishasbon: please ask again, without the caps [20:25] luishasbon, try wine [20:25] bambam_: you also don't need anti virus, just make sure your only installing software from trusted sources, such as the Ubuntu repos, or offical websites for programs like sourceforge.net for example, and you'll be ok [20:25] this is my first time in irc just been here for 30minutes [20:25] Dr_Willis: I'm not good on linux. Looking to lern. But do you understand what I need? [20:26] I would be amazed if Autocad worked in wine. [20:26] does anyone know how to install autocad 2010 in linux? [20:26] kyle_: dident notice. :) im baby sitting. [20:26] luishasbon, autocad 2010 is listed with a "Garbage" rating on winehq's appdb, which means: "An application gets this rating if it cannot be used for the purpose it was designed for. There should be at least one bug report in Bugzilla if it gets this rating. Application cannot be installed, does not start, or starts but has so many errors that it is nearly impossible to use it." http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1 [20:26] 6345 [20:26] Dr_Willis, I think it does somewhat [20:26] scriptwarlock: took a screenshot, but how do i show it to you [20:26] !virus | bambam_ [20:26] bambam_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [20:26] sebsebseb, but I also download stuff from torrents... then ? [20:26] luishasbon, oops, here's the link: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16345 [20:26] slidinghorn:thanks [20:26] jose: tinypics and post your link here [20:26] nikitis: last i used autocad - it had such harsh copy protection - it barely worked on windows. :) [20:26] bambam_: torrents for what? [20:27] like pdfs .... songs etc [20:27] Dr_Willis, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=86 [20:27] they often come in rar or zip files [20:27] Dr_Willis: ho ho, just wonderd if you knew of any other software what worked like RDP/VNC what will start when PC started. [20:27] !piracy | bambam_ [20:27] bambam_: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [20:27] Good afternoon (EST). I installed the 10.10 alpha 2 last night and I've noticed there is no option to suspend. [20:27] how do I enable java in firefox? already installed openjdk-6-jre [20:27] !10.10 | jmagder [20:27] jmagder: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:28] Hi, Ubuntu Lucid on Lenovo SL510, getting halt in Screen saver, lspic says... VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series] [20:28] kyle_: do you want to autologin at ubuntu and autostart the vnc thing? [20:28] sebsebseb : They do not need to be copyright protect... there are many which are free to share [20:28] bambam_: Those kind of torrents aren't offical sources for program, so they may come with malware, however it would useualy be for WIndows [20:28] bergLNX: Need the icedtea plugin too [20:28] sebsebseb: Thanks I'll ask there. :) [20:28] kjele: oh, thought I read that was already here :p [20:28] kyle_: vnc and freenx are the 2. You can always ssh in and start X apps as needed or use the other X -query features. deopending ion your exact needs [20:28] bambam_: well ok ones that are free legally, will probably be ok [20:28] I am having problems running Ubuntu 10.04 on a sony VAIO z1290X (http://goo.gl/YYBp) When I attempt to boot into the conputer all i see is the flashing cursor and I never see the pretty loading screen. Any ideas? [20:29] bambam_: plus most malware from torrents will be for Windows anyway, and woudn't infect Linux distros [20:29] sebsebseb, but you never know what is in them... they could be binded with some scripts [20:29] luishasbon, no luck =( [20:29] bambam_: scripts what .sh files? [20:29] bergLNX: Then check the addon section [20:29] I mean I wrote an article on something and uploaded pdf on some site... I can bind a script with the file and zip it too [20:29] bambam_: sure, but [20:30] bambam_: unless the scripts bypassing root login then your pawnd [20:30] bambam_: scripts don't just run on Linux distros :) [20:30] <92AAAQLOA> 1126 [20:30] hello. it seems the username 'figure002' is already in use. could an OP verify this for me? [20:30] figure002_: it's being used by you [20:30] bambam_: take .sh files which are scripts for Linux distros, before they even run, they have to be told to be alloweed to execute, they can't just run on their own [20:30] figure002_: perhaps you're old connection hasn't pinged out yet [20:31] jamesstanley: i don't know. how can i fix it? [20:31] just wait for the server to kick it off [20:31] or ghost it if you own the nick [20:31] kjele: Hmm, well I have icedtea-6-jre-cacao, but I need a seperate one just for firefox? [20:31] well, I got curious because I download one pdf which was more of an article or white paper, it talked about binder programs... which attach scripts,viruses,trojans etc to any kindof file and when you open the file it runs in background [20:31] bambam_: or if you ever used a .bin well you do the same thing as .sh files, before they run. right click go to properties, and tell it you want it to be treated like a program, basicalley [20:31] hello all [20:31] they are also capable of taking system level privileges [20:31] neato... brother mfc 495 printer works. it's not on the list yet, but they provide all of the drivers and instructions including for 10.04 [20:32] bergLNX: There is a package with plugin in its name [20:32] bambam_: only get software from trusted sources, such as offical sources for trusted programs, or the Ubuntu repos, and you'll be fine [20:32] jamesstanley: ghost it? don't know what that means.. but can i register that nick like i did on freenode? [20:32] bambam_: really? [20:32] figure002_: this is freenode... [20:32] sebsebseb, thats what I do but ... what about reading and songs stuff etc... [20:32] figure002_: if you own the nick with nickserv, do "/msg nickserv ghost figure002 " [20:33] and it will kick figure002 off [20:33] hey whats a good program to use a palm device with>? [20:33] bambam_: and in those kind of torrents, your probably not going to get malware for Linux distros :) [20:33] bambam_: best pratice read first before clicking or click first before reading? [20:33] scriptwarlock, hello ! yes it is true.... ! there were some examples of such softwares and make no mistake they are capable of running on any kindof OS as long as JVM or something similar is there [20:33] jamesstanley: hmm ok, i'll try that [20:33] Hi, Ubuntu Lucid on Lenovo SL510, getting halt in Screen saver, lspic says... VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series] [20:33] scriptwarlock:tinypic won't let me upload!!! === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC === Plasmastar is now known as Guest57578 [20:33] bambam_: if you open a song in your mp3 player, it can not execute arbitrary code unless there is a serious bug in the mp3 player [20:33] kjele: Ah found it :) Many thanks! [20:33] jose: try imageshack [20:34] bambam_: and basically before malware can run on a Linux distro, the user has to open it them selves, or someone malicious has to have access to the computer and then do it. Its not like Windows where viruses can just spread them selves easilly, without being opended first. Plus most Linux distros have been designed so viruses and such can't just do that. [20:34] can somebody recommend a software to join small video clips ? [20:34] figure002_: you will find support for using the freenode network in #freenode [20:34] hmm... everything is peachy, except only xsane works in sudo. "simple scan" doesnt work at all for scanning [20:34] hey anyone had any experience using a palm device on Ubuntu? i need one that will work [20:34] sebsebseb, hmmm , so there is no threat of rootkit in Linux distros ? Which is quite a serious threat in windows [20:35] bambam_: wew so we need to start installing rkhunter or chkrootkit? [20:35] guntbert: everything is working fine on freenode, just the ubuntu server is giving me the wrong nick for some reason [20:35] <[thor]> Fredrick: i use a Sony Clie :D [20:35] jamesstanley: "NickServ (NickServ@services.): figure002 has been ghosted." [20:35] bambam_: Also, you almost eliminate chances of trojan viruses with the Software Center. [20:35] bambam_: and as far as I know even if say a .tar.gz or .zip file had malware in it, as far as I know you can't just get infected by it, by opening the archeive file, be that on Windows or some other OS [20:35] bambam_, Rootkits exists for Linux, but it's 10 times harder to get infected. [20:35] figure002_: now /nick figure002 and it's yours [20:35] chrootkit.... yeah ... I read that term also in that article somewhere [20:35] scriptwarlock:http://yfrog.com/2oscreenshotynap [20:35] ok how bout anyone know how to use wine? [20:35] figure002_: the "ubuntu server" *is* the freenode server [20:35] jamesstanley: but now i'm disconnected from the freenode server [20:35] jamesstanley: ok [20:35] bambam_: update often. [20:35] can somebody recommend a software to join small video clips ? [20:36] hmmmmm , [20:36] pritesh: cat [20:36] pritesh: avidemux [20:36] bambam_: There are rootkits for Linux distros as well, but most won't work anymore. and basically you would have to know what you are doing and install it yourself, or have someone malicious with access to your computer, do it for you [20:36] nikitis, so do you use any anti-root kit program [20:36] bambam_: then you're pretty safe from rootkits and crackers [20:36] pritesh: depends on how it was split [20:36] <[thor]> Fredrick: gnome-pilot, and jpilot should do everything you need with your palmos device [20:36] jamesstanley: "ubuntu -- | figure002: Nickname is already in use." [20:37] ohir, OK, updating is one thing.. [20:37] bambam_: Also you can't just get a rootkit for Linux or any other type of malware at the moment, since it very nearly doesn't exist. I mean malware that would actsaully work. Anyway I was only back here briefly, i'll be back again later. [20:37] guntbert: ooh, i see! [20:37] bambam_: wikipedia has a good rootkit page though [20:37] wanted to join small .wmv files , gonna try avidemux and see, thanks [20:37] Anyone have any advice about which ubuntu is right for me? I have a small laptop but it has a good resolution screen, and i will use awesome window manager anyway, so the real difference i guess id performance and power management. Is it worth me going with netbook version or should i just use ubuntu desktop? [20:37] sebsebseb, OK [20:37] has that alberto milan guy abandoned envyng for lucid+ ? [20:38] figure002_: so if you are connected twice to the same network you cannot use the same nick on both connections :-) [20:38] bambam_: its true for all OSes. Just design of linux make it much harder to write user-level malware. And not user level programs (daemons aka services) are usually checked carefuly and updated quickly if yet anoher hole is found. [20:38] rskm, 9.10 i think is the best one i use [20:38] !envy [20:38] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [20:38] super [20:38] brb [20:38] guntbert: ahh.. i understand now. i should remove ubuntu from my server list then. [20:38] bambam_: so yeah there has been a liltte bit of past malware for Linux distros, but that won't work with modern versions of distros, plus most of that malware stayed in the lab, never got distributed on the Internet. [20:38] scriptwarlock:can you see it now? [20:39] hiexpo: Thanks, but I mean should I use ubuntu to desktop or ubuntu netbook? [20:39] guntbert: and add #ubuntu to the freenode autoconnect instead [20:39] rskm: the netbook version is for devices with a screen that is vertically small [20:39] jose: yes so many files which is not neccessary [20:39] figure002_: exactly [20:39] i had to add the column load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0. to /etc/pulse/default.pa . After that pulse recognizes my internal microphone. The problem i have is that i always have to activate in alsamixer my "capture" device, next to the internal microphone device. And that after every restart of my linux [20:39] guntbert: thanks :) [20:39] how can i fix the problem, that i dont have to activate the capture device after every restart? Someone mentioned alsactl, but it seems as if that did not help me [20:39] guntbert: So the difference are only in the UI, they are the same system underneath? [20:39] scriptwarlock: tell me what to delete and i will do it [20:39] figure002_: you're welcome :-) [20:39] what's that version of Ubuntu that can install in windows again? [20:40] Gnea: Wubi [20:40] !wubi | Gnea [20:40] Gnea: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [20:40] thanks [20:40] Ok, but is there any anti-rootkit for ubuntu available ? [20:40] I know just ClamAV for linux [20:40] Gnea: proper partitioned install is better in long run :) and I think you know this already :) [20:41] !virus | bambam_ [20:41] bambam_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [20:41] whats universe repo ? i have tried all but proposed to fetch the needed packages for the unsupported envy i'm too tired to check my /etc/apt/source.list :) humor me [20:41] bambam_: yes there are anti rootkit, but you don't need it, anyway going away from computer again [20:41] rskm: to my knowledge that is so and http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook states it also [20:42] jose: adonthell, balazar saved games, avast(for windows file?), etw, sheep?, what are those... and then install ubuntu tweak to clear cache files [20:42] sebsebseb, Ok atleast give me the names of some [20:42] !universe | humanfly [20:42] humanfly: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [20:42] i'm getting hash sum mismatch on a couple ppa's anyone know why that would happen? === gustavo_futuro_u is now known as gustavo_datatri- [20:42] timboy, is the hash is wrong bad download [20:43] after a fresh install of Lucid yesterday, I keep getting the message "an error occurred while mounting /" though it booted fine right after install [20:43] guntbert: Ok, thanks :) I just thought maybe it did power management or something differently to be better on portable hardware [20:43] proposed would not be universe would it ? or is proposed a not so risky thing on a secure machine ? [20:43] hiexpo, getting it from official nvidia ppa and from xbmc ppa every time! [20:43] i've got planets spinning around my head most of the time ;) [20:43] humanfly: proposed is where updateds get tested for regressions before going to the updates repository [20:44] timboy, and that is there hash you are comparing it to [20:44] humanfly: proposed it a completely different thing - don't enable it if not for a *very good* reason [20:44] mltngclk: what does it say? does an alert come out?? [20:44] is there a foolproof way to menage my ipod on Linux? [20:45] scriptwarlock:deleted those files. opened ubuntu tweak. what do i do in tweak? [20:45] guess my server simply doesn't have envy [20:45] Anybody know how to get ubuntu to allow remote desktop without logging in at the machine? [20:45] Fredrick, foolproof , that's asking abit much :) [20:45] jose: clean not tweak [20:45] <[thor]> :D [20:45] Slimp: You could try ssh. [20:45] yea i know, its for my dad but hes not that good with tecnology [20:46] Slimp: did you install vnc as mentioned? [20:46] jose: waaahaaat? without uninstalling? [20:46] can anyone link me to say, envyng-qt with its dependencies in .deb form for 32-bit. i've no idea how to do such things, they are like -- impossible. :) [20:46] mltngclk: ok...so letssuppose you uncompressed it in downloads folder so you should have a libflashplayer.so file in that folder now goto terminal and type sudo cp /home/yourname/downloads/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [20:46] spiky_: yes, it didn't work. [20:46] that'd be for lucid [20:46] scriptwarlock: what do i unistall? [20:46] I want to record the content of an audio cassette on the computer and then on a CD === batis610 is now known as samere [20:47] <[thor]> Fredrick: rythmbox works well with ipods [20:47] Fredrick, most older ppl don't have ipods either , I don't :) [20:47] What do I need to use to do it? I want to pass it from the headphone jack into the sound card [20:47] jose: like avast, etw theres a proper way of uninstalling an apps but nayway its been done.. go to ubuntu tweak now [20:47] yea it was a presint lol [20:47] jose: and start cleaning [20:47] am I on the correct channel for such a question? [20:47] !ipod > Fredrick [20:47] Fredrick, please see my private message [20:47] Slimp: ok on the pc you wanna go in to open system >preferences>remote desktop [20:48] spiky_: yep. [20:48] Slimp: have you done that? [20:48] spiky_:yes. [20:48] jose: do the package cleaner only and start removing the residues [20:48] <[thor]> sburwood: you can use the bundled Sound Recorder ( Applications --> Sound & Video -> Sound Recorder ) [20:49] slidinghorn, whynot share the procedure with the rest of us ...what's witht pms [20:49] <[thor]> sburwood: alternatively, you can install Audacity or a similar recording application. [20:49] I tried to do that, but it came up with a lot of parasites [20:49] I need to set net video mode on this machine: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/236211/ and I have put in these modes into /etc/fb.modes http://paste.pocoo.org/show/236212/, but I am only able to get these errors: # fbset 720p [20:49] ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument [20:49] and [20:49] # fbset 480p [20:49] ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Cannot allocate memory [20:49] barfster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:51] has anybody tried any software go combine multiple small video clips ? [20:51] and that should repair the problem of parasites?

Error invoking Java VM (execv): No such file or directory <- anyone knows how to fix this ? [20:52] slidinghorn, yes I'm aware but I'm sure that's advice/tutorial that should be posted ...ipod configuring is quite a popular request these days :) [20:52] Slimp: then you should be able to acssess it from remote [20:52] This might be of value too: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/236213/ [20:52] <[thor]> sburwood: waht sort of parasites are you talking about?

[20:52] spiky_:I *can* access it remotely, I'm access it remotely in order to be in this IRC, what I want to do is access it remotely after a restart, without logging in on the original machine. [20:53] I have installed chrootkit and rkhunter from ubuntu repositories, but I am not able to find them or a way to run them, where these programs get installed by default ? [20:53] more noise than sound [20:53] scriptwarlock:should i uninstall ubuntu tweak and reinstall? [20:53] pritesh: Can you watch each clips? [20:53] <[thor]> sburwood: that seems like it would be problem with the cable or card [20:53] yes absolutely [20:53] spiky_: do you understand what I mean?

[20:54] spiky_: ^ [20:54] kjele : yes i can play videos individually [20:54] Slimp: nope [20:54] but i wanna combine them in one file [20:54] sburwood: i\ve done recording audio on my laptop at concerts without any issue but i have configured the input correctly [20:55] spiky_: do you have it set so that you don't require authentication to log in? [20:55] bambam_: what kind of idea? [20:55] do I need to install jack or pulse or something else? [20:55] pritesh: you want to join several differnt videos into a single file. The ffmpeg and the mencoder faqs i recall had examples of doing that with their tools. [20:55] pritesh: avimux doesn't it help? [20:55] Slimp: i have password un ticked [20:55] bambam_: alsa is fine [20:55] <[thor]> sburwood: on a color-coded motherboard, the input is PINK for mic, and BLUE for line-in [20:55] scriptwarlock: how to run chrootkit & rkhunter ?

I couldn't read the message [20:57] [thor]: ok, thx [20:57] scriptwarlock: not available for i386 it says [20:57] pritesh: they are cli tools there are gui front ends.. they are not too hard to use. [20:57] I'm gonna try that [20:57] barfster: You could install just X. But if you're looking for a full desktop type thing, look into Lubuntu (sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop) [20:57] [thor]: I'm gonna try audacity [20:57] is there another program for cache clearing like it? [20:57] bambam_: sudo chkrootkit [20:57] bye [20:57] spiky_: that's not going to make any difference, that's the option for whether VNC requires a password, not for whether VNC is started before a user is logged in. [20:57] scriptwarlock: I tried that but it does not find that command [20:58] Flannel: It should be able to run X-MAME, MPlayer, VLC, FireFox [20:58] jose: google ubuntu tweak [20:58] scriptwarlock: is there another program like that, or something i can do from the terminal? [20:58] barfster: Just straight X can do that [20:58] bambam_: is chkrootkit installed? [20:58] Without the entire gnome environement? [20:58] scriptwarlock: It says command not found, Yup I have double checked that [20:58] Slimp: I know that is how mine is set up been like that for a year [20:58] barfster: Right [20:58] I just ran tasksel, as it’s a tool I remember from debian, and I made a selection [20:59] But how do I utilize that selection after? [20:59] barfster: Which selection did you make? [20:59] On this machine I just picked ubuntu desktop [20:59] But this is for trying to install over the WinXP embedded on a Samsung SyncMaster 400 PXn [21:00] Slimp: any firewall enabled?

I have created a group called ssl-cert and added read permissions to the key to the group. And added the user to the group. but I still can not read the file. Any ideas? [21:00] barfster: Then assuming it's installed, gdm should start, you may have to ctrl-alt-f7 to get there. [21:00] hullo there [21:00] Ehh [21:00] scriptwarlock:got it now. just go down the line cleaning? [21:01] hey whats up guys?

[21:01] thanks Flannel [21:01] Slimp: i dont have to log into machine to start with. set mine to log on auto [21:01] humanfly: a trick ive used befor is to use gdebi..

[21:02] luishasbon: pcsx2? [21:02] luishasbon: there is a ps2 emulator. but ive never used it. the ps1 emulator is quite good however. [21:02] luishasbon, you can try searching synaptic by typing emulator in the quicksearch box [21:02] thank you Dr_Willis [21:02] scriptwarlock: You are not getting my point, it says it does not recognize this file or directory ... or .... command not found [21:02] Slimp: ah now you got me set mine on install now we know how to fix [21:03] luishasbon: http://pcsx2.net/downloads.php?p=publicbeta I never tried it either [21:03] bambam_: what are going to do launch the rkhunter?

[21:12] right ? [21:12] gfather: you normally are not going to be 'adding somtning new in the list' [21:12] barfster: The minimal CD doesn't have a local pool, it should be set to do that automatically. And, you don't install debian-installer, it just runs at boot. Which makes me wonder if you're doing something odd [21:12] hdpb: yea short name [21:12] gfather: unless you mean adding a new 'source' or 'repository' [21:13] gfather: then you MUST 'update' befor you upgrade/install stuff [21:13] Flannel: I am running from a preinstalled USB Stick [21:13] yes exactly [21:13] and I would like to launch the debian-installer script [21:13] kjele: short name for?

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[22:44] barfster: There are smaller Linuxes out there, you might look into tinycore or DSL or something. [22:45] does anyone have any idea what the best way to go is? Switch back to the 2.6.32 kernel and try to find a way to patch the drivers for the touchscreen, or keep the 2.6.35 kernel and try to find a way to get the ati drivers to work [22:45] hey guys, does anybody know how i can listen to the line-in audio? I have an xbox plugged into my sound card, and can record the signal with audacity, but I just want to play it through my speakers in real-time [22:45] tripelb, there's really no way for us to have an answer to that...you'll have to close them one @ a time to see which one it is i think [22:45] i have done a fresh install of 10.04 with existing home directory; in thunderbird 3, i have two folders of my two email accounts at the bottom of the folder list that are empty and thus useless to me, but i can't remove them [22:46] in either of those scenario's, I still could use a fresh pair of eyes looking with me to get either the ati card to work or to get the touchscreen to work [22:46] !webcam | ineedhelpbad [22:46] ineedhelpbad: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:47] rblst, you should be able to edit that in your account preferences (Edit>Preferences) if not on the new installation, you should try on the installation in which you originally added the account [22:47] Delvien: The video playback plugin is enabled in compiz but I still see tearing in mplayer I'm afraid [22:47] I am having trouble with my usb serial adapter and setserial.

[22:48] my problem is that my touchscreen wont work with the 2.6.32 kernel, (it's a quanta inc touchscreen, and from what I've found out, the 2.6.32 kernel packs the wrong drivers for this or something, haven't found out how to patch them though) so I updated to the 2.6.35-rc1 kernel, in which the touchscreen works out of the box. But my ati-card won't play nicely with the newer kernel. When I try to get it from the ubuntu repository it fails, and when [22:48] ennui: The video playback plugin was to allow video to play back correctly with a patched version of mplayer, I long time ago.

[23:29] melissawm: that would be a worthwhile project to submit for packaging [23:30] ikonia: you mean python 32bit on a 64bit machine or 64bit psyco? [23:31] melissawm: 64bit psyco won't work from what I'm reading, to a multi-lib python on 64bit would be helpful, then a 32bit psyco [23:32] ikonia, i was gona say a 32 for u but you were on it :) [23:32] ikonia: yes that's right, multi-lib python would be a good thing. but i don't know the right process to submit a project for packaging [23:32] An update replaced my firefox with the 3.6.6 version.

[23:41] I was looking for some advice on getting Samba to work with a Windows computer....I can ping the computer but can't mount any shares [23:41] nikitis, i had similar problems.. i disabled compiz and everything else was good [23:41] Maletor, lol. It's that good of a mouse though. That i'd rather go through the pain and hell to get it to work [23:41] DanDare, do you have that mouse? [23:41] nikitis, no that mouse!! another one [23:41] Ya compiz is great when it is working. And the suck when it is not. Luckily gnome-shell obolishes it [23:41] osmario placefilein homedir / then cd file name / ./configure / sudo make / sudo make install [23:42] DanDare, i'll try it without compiz [23:42] Can someone help me get cpu scaling working properly? my cpufreq-info just reports no or unknown cpufrq driver is active and i'm on a laptop with a p3 mobile [23:42] iceroot:yes, sorry for delay [23:42] hi everyone! any experience with wimax modems here?! [23:42] !ask | TechMiX [23:42] TechMiX: 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. :-) [23:43] Is there any way to echo the output of a command into its exit message? [23:43] bhalash, as in ...? [23:43] @blendmaster1024 [23:43] anyone? know how to fix cpu scaling on a thinkpad? p3 mobile [23:44] blendmaster1024: I have a curl script to fetch the contents of a remote text file. The contents are literally 1 or 0. If it is "1" I want to change the exit message of curl to 1 [23:44] Uh [23:44] Best example I can give for it [23:44] p3 mobile... you might want to disable scaling ... i'm not sure if that processor even supports scalign [23:44] DanDare, nope even with compiz it does it [23:44] with it disabled I mean [23:45] ok, what the hell should i do to install/use/connect to internet/... this usb modem? :D vendor num:198f, product num:0220 [23:45] I want to restrict users to a certain folder in my home directory through sftp. How do I do this. Force chroot requires 'ln -s' (which doesn't work) and mounting the directory is a pain and expensive. [23:45] I could probably write a small test loop and change the exit status... [23:45] gethoht: yeah it does, works well actually. works well on live cd then after i installed to disk it broke. makes no sense to me [23:45] bhalash, hold on a sec [23:45] nikitis, its a USB mouse ? [23:46] DanDare, yes it is good sir [23:46] quick question can asterisk work on a regular intel laptop that runs ubuntu 10.04 [23:46] DanDare, i've tried it on Kubuntu and gnome on two different machines [23:46] nikitis, just random but I would start trying mouse on other USB ports [23:46] strange [23:46] bhalash, (exitcode="$()";exit $exitcode ) [23:46] DanDare, i've done that as well [23:46] it works on Windows..... but obviously I want to game in linux [23:46] blendmaster1024: awesome, thank you sir! [23:47] anyone have the unofficial envyng working with an ati video card or know a hack ? [23:47] bhalash, note that that won't work unless curl ALWAYS prints out 0 or 1 [23:47] greetings. [23:47] good day, sirs. [23:47] hi [23:47] blendmaster1024: It will (in my case). I'm writing a simple remote-wipe script using crontab [23:47] DanDare, doing a tail -f on /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages produces nothing except for the message of when it gets plugged in. [23:48] :/ [23:48] bhalash, HOLY CRAP that's not GOOD ENOUGH [23:48] any help? :( i've just switched my wimax modem from usb_storage mode to usbserial. but now, i dont know hoe to connect to it? network manager doesn't recognize anything :( [23:48] greetings. good day, sirs. [23:48] nikitis, searching on internet i can see another people with exactly same problem as yours. So definetely theres anything incompatible with the model [23:48] !yell [23:48] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [23:48] DanDare, where? was that my post? [23:49] DanDare, link please because I've searched everywhere [23:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9576749 [23:49] well, i think thats your post :p [23:49] it is lol [23:50] DanDare, it's a new mouse so there's probably no posts on it yet [23:50] !language | blendmaster1024 [23:50] blendmaster1024: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:50] nikitis, be careful with lol not accepted here [23:50] DanDare, but i wish to get this problem rolling. I personally think that the DPI on the mouse is too high for the linux kernel [23:50] why is metacity using 98% of my cpu? I just got kicked out of gnome, and when I logged back in, metacity was using 90%+? [23:50] sebsebseb, what did I say? I just said that so he wouldn't act too soon and damage his system with my code [23:51] sebsebseb, blendmaster1024 I don't think "crap" qualifies as cussing or inappropriate =\ [23:51] I want to restrict users to a certain folder in my home [23:51] directory through sftp. How do I do this. Force chroot [23:51] requires 'ln -s' (which doesn't work) and mounting the [23:51] directory is a pain and expensive. [23:51] Maletor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:51] ...sry [23:51] If I have memory alloted to a virtual machine, is that affecting my system when I'm running it with the virtual machine OFF? [23:51] slidinghorn: I think it does with the other word before it, but opinions will differ on this one. [23:52] alexander_, should not be [23:52] yes its saving it [23:52] alexander_ : nop [23:52] does anyone know why sometimes ubuntu usage goes from 100mb to 400mb for no reason? [23:53] alexander_, however, that doesn't promise it. just says it's unlikely [23:53] magicianlord, an application is using the memory...fluctuations can occur throughout an applications run-time. [23:53] why can't I kill metacity? [23:54] I type sudo kill pid and it won't kill. [23:54] how do I kill X on ubuntu 10.04? [23:54] killall metacity [23:54] seidos: Why are you trying to kill your window manager? [23:54] seidos: Use a different window manager to replace it [23:54] seidos, add a -9. but be very careful it's the right PID [23:54] thanks, hiexpo [23:54] nikitis, maybe it will work not just for logitech mouses http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/logitech-applet [23:54] i've been wondering about that === KenjiP0p is now known as KenjiP0p|away [23:55] yep [23:55] btw, byobu is a wonderful program. was it created for ubuntu? [23:55] How do I set permissions for a user so that only user1 and user2 may access Music and user2 may access nothing else by user1? [23:55] hiexpo on homedir i have a file named Sokoban.widget and in folder /Download/syasokoban-2.0.1 there are a file named Makefile and three folders (data scr VC). Which one may i access? [23:55] how do I kill X on ubuntu 10.04? [23:56] blendmaster1024, killall 3414 -9? [23:56] nikitis, another thing to try would be buying that adapter USB->Serial to use in the mouse [23:56] tsccof: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:56] Maletor: thanks [23:56] osmario, there is a file read me read it [23:56] hiexpo Yes [23:57] I want to restart my metacity, the window manager, because it's using 98% of my cpu. I think it is glitching. [23:57] nikitis, sorry, its USB->PS2 [23:57] DanDare, hmm [23:57] gurudrew [23:57] nikitis, http://www.google.com.br/images?hl=EN&q=%22usb%20to%20ps2%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi === drew_ is now known as gurudrew [23:57] DanDare, I was reading up on something about the USB Polling rate. [23:58] Hello! is there a way to disable the Keyring password popups? (it is the same with my general password) [23:58] Is the next Ubuntu release going to look even more like Mac OSX? [23:58] !10.10 | magicianlord [23:58] magicianlord: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:58] Next question: Has anyone on 10.4 experienced a very specific problem with gnome-power-manager: If I unplug my laptop from the mains it sends my computer to sleep. This is *specifically* GPM; I've turned it off and had no incident. [23:58] sou novo no ubuntu, não consigo mudar minha resolução pra 1024x7xx [23:58] hi all [23:59] nikitis, anyway... you will lose functionality using your mouse without a driver.... so expect basic features using that adapter anyway [23:59] !br | xakal [23:59] xakal: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:59] alguem poderia me ar uma dica? [23:59] bhalash: I personally find xfce4-power-manager more stable [23:59] xakal: por favor, #ubuntu-br [23:59] :) [23:59] bl [23:59] DanDare, I don't mind not having user profiles etc on this mouse in linux [23:59] xakal: ou #ubuntu-pt [23:59] osmario, if i say what i want i will get banned here so don't be a an ///// readthe directions ok do your self a favor [23:59] Xc [23:59] AS [23:59] D [23:59] Q [23:59] magicianlord: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
